Attorney Meyers recommended that a more suitable agreement be <br />worked out with the school. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that there could be problems with people playing on <br />the courts at 2 AM and causing a disturbance. <br />Councilmember Rowley pointed out that the City would be stuck with the cost of keep- <br />ing up the tennis courts each year while the school would just put in its initial <br />investment and have no other financial responsibility. She stated that if the school <br />is going to be the one to benefit most from the reconstruction of the tennis courts, <br />they should foot the majority of the bill for it. <br />Attorney Meyers suggested that, due to the time limitation on submitting the applica- <br />tion by September 16, the City could approve the submittal of the application for <br />funding without signing the actual agreement. <br />Administrator Achen reported that last year there were 282 applications, of which <br />only 84 received funding, and that joint ventures seemed to be given favor. <br />MSP (Rowley - Pickar) to direct the school to go ahead with the application if they <br />wish but that the City would not get involved due to wanting the opportunity to <br />negotiate some of the conditions in the contract, but that the time is not <br />available. <br />4 ayes. <br />LAUNCHING PAD LIQUOR LICENSE AGREEMENT - SECOND REDUCTION OF SECURITY DEPOSIT <br />Administrator Achen reported that the remaining items to be completed under the <br />Launching Pad Liquor License Agreement are permanent concrete curbing, screening <br />fence and traffic control signs, at an approximate cost of $4,140. Mr. Hartinger <br />has requested that a portion of the remaining $7,000 bond be refunded for the work <br />already completed. <br />Mr. Hartinger stated that he would also like Council approval to substitute asphalt <br />curbing for concrete curbing due to the cost of installation. The bids he received <br />on the project were approximately half the price to put in asphalt curbing versus <br />concrete curbing. Mr. Hartinger explained that he had run into financial difficulties <br />and needed the bond refund to pay his creditors, and was requesting the change in <br />curbing due to the price difference. <br />Administrator Achen replied that the pro's and con's of concrete versus asphalt had <br />been discussed and that the Staff felt that in a commercial area, a bitumuous curbing <br />would not hold up as well as concrete, and that bitumuous most likely would require <br />repair work within the next year, which would involve additional expense. <br />Mr. Hartinger replied that he had talked to Official Rose, who had stated that the <br />Engineering Department had no problems with bitumuous curbing. He also stated that <br />concrete would require repairs as it would be damaged from snow plows and cracking <br />and so forth. <br />Administrator Achen stated that the Staff also felt it would be a good idea to <br />require concrete curbing to set a presedence for the Northcrest Park development. <br />Administrator Achen also pointed out that there was approximately $355 in admini- <br />strative costs to date to be applied against the bond. <br />
