uNAppRovED whether or not you were ever for the theater project, the fact of the matter remains both are being developed and/or are developed, and they are going to create some traffic issues with the corner of Edgewood Drive and T.H. 10. Mr. Brasaemle would encourage you to do perhaps what might be difficult in swallowing principle if need be and move this forward so that there are no further delays, not to mention the fact that I don't think it would be wise to open up the City to liability if the developer of the theater should choose to pursue that. Mr. Brasaemle would like to reinforce the matter of this being the benefit to the Community Center, in addition to the theater project. Mr. Brasaemle does not know whether the current split as far as paying for this project is appropriate, I do believe that the City should cover at least 50%to the Community Center,but whether or not 3/4 is appropriate, or 1/4, again as Mayor Coughlin has said,that is something that was decided and has been basically put in your lap,your hands are tied. This is unfortunate in some ways, but I think it is time to move on. I would encourage you to pass this resolution. Mr. Stigney realizes that most of the comments are directed to the principle in my previous vote, and will not subject the City to litigation. Mr. Stigney states he does feel uncomfortable being forced into voting for something that I opposed from day one as far as cost sharing, to use all our MSA money from the City to do the road construction and to pay '/4 of the light, when Mr. Stigney feels that it is a 50/50 benefit. I am fully aware of the Community Center,and the need for traffic control. Mr. Stigney's personal feeling was that from the beginning as long as the traffic light was not allowed to come in,that should have put a stop to the project right there. It was contingent getting traffic control in here and the developer was going to work with the City. It turned out that the City took the brunt of it. The Council made that decision,but not with my vote, so I am reluctantly going to support it, against principle,just because I don't want to put the City in a legal situation. Mayor Coughlin stated he has respected Mr. Stigney's stand on principle, even if we may or may not agree on specifics. It takes a particular character in an individual to be able to stand up to the slings and arrows over time and stand believing that your position is right and just, and I will say outside of the context of this discussion that I have been impressed by that ability of yours to do so. Motion/Second: Coughlin/Thomason.

Mr. Mike Ulrich stated the proposal set at last week's work session requested that these be sent back to the City Council for further discussion. Mr. Ulrich stated Risk Management and Process Safety Management are programs mandated by the EPA. The Process Safety Management is OSHA regulation. The City is required to put forth both these programs into place and get done with Risk Management by June 21. Staff received three proposals of this.
