February 28, 1977 Page 4 MSP (Pickar- Hodges) to increase the Council stenographer's salary from $30 to $40 per meeting. Admin. Achen presented a proposed ordinance covering postponed construction of improvements. He stated it may be a possible solution to the Keith Harstad request and future requests to develop land where improvements are needed but cannot be immediately constructed. The ordinance proposes that an agreement be executed by the city and the developer which would indicate the developer agrees to the improvements, agrees to accept assessment for cost of such improvements and waives rights to hearing at such time in the future as the improvements are constructed. The agreement would be filed with the Register of Deeds, thereby informing all future purchasers of the agreement. The proposed ordinance was referred to Attorney Meyers for review and Council consideration at the March 14th meeting. Admin.
