UNAPPROVED • Page 9 April 14, 1997 Mounds View City Council 1 Council member Trude stated she would be comfortable approving staffs recommendation. 2 3 Council member Stigney stated at the last work session,additional information was requested on the benefits of 4 the PDI and the HAY systems which all the council received. He spent considerable time going through the 5 information provided and found that the HAY evaluation system being recommended seems to lean more 6 towards the industrial or corporate environment although it could be applied to either system. The PDI has 7 specific applications towards city jurisdictions which are normally found in municipalities. He noted that both 8 systems would end up doing the same thing,however when looking at the bottom line to change the current 9 system to the HAY system,the HAY system is far more costly. He wonders what benefit would really be 10 derived from the change. A system is already in place in the city and he feels it is workable,therefore he 11 would not be in support of converting to the HAY system. 12 13 It was agreed that this item would be further reviewed and discussed by staff and brought before the council for 14 consideration at an upcoming council meeting. 15 16 E. Resolution 5107,Approving Authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to Enter into an 17 Agreement for Architectural Services for the Bel Rae Ballroom/Community Center Project Design. 18 19 Mr.Whiting explained that he had just received the agreement and would like to give the council and staff an 20 opportunity to review it. To avoid further delays he suggested on behalf of the city, that Mayor McCarty, 21 Council member Trude and himself get together and thoroughly review the agreement prior to execution. 22 Additionally,Council member Koopmeiners will be meeting with him and the architect to go over some of the 23 specific questions about the building and floor layout. Mr.Whiting explained that he would like to come back 24 to the Council work session and go through the process in greater detail. 25 26 MOTION/SECOND: McCarty/Koopmeiners that the Council authorize Mayor McCarty and Chuck Whiting 27 to execute the Agreement between the City of Mounds View and the architect after review of the agreement by 28 Mayor McCarty,Council member Trude,Clerk Administrator Chuck Whiting and Attorney Bob Long. 29 30 Council member Stigney asked if the agreement would be subject to modifications. He suggested that all of 31 the Council members take an opportunity to go and tour the St.Anthony Community Center to see what they 32 built for$3.6 million. 33 34 Mayor McCarty explained that the signing of the agreement will delineate the obligations and agreements 35 between the architect and the city. At any time,the city council could make changes if they so desire,however 36 it will be necessary to try to stay within the original plan as determined by the council,committee and 37 community. 38 39 G. Authorization to Enter into an Exclusive Negotiations Agreement with VB Digs. 40 41 Mr.Bob Long,City Attorney,explained the agreement basically states the City and VB Digs intend to work 42 together in good faith in the next 15 days to put together a more complete package to determine whether or not 43 they can move forward. He noted that the last page in Section 8 states that the developer agrees to pay 44 $5,000 in additional earnest money(in addition to the$2,500 already paid),to cover the kinds of costs that the 45 City is incurring in evaluating the project.
