writing, I have not heard from them regarding their proposal for the payment of the fees. Saturn I will be meeting with Jim Price this Friday regarding the Saturn expansion. His issue is also the payment of the park dedication fees. As Jim Casserly said today, it is the common complaint of any developer that the payment of park dedication fees holds up a project. However, it is also a common response that without the payment of such fees the City (any city) is unable to free up general fund monies to provide the response to service expectations and requests that make the city a desirable place in which to locate a business. My Schedule I will be attending a Tax Increment Financing Seminar in Bloomington all day Thursday and Friday morning. I will be back in the office by 1: 30 unless, of course, I am kidnapped by a Mega Mall store official no, I'll be back despite the overwhelming temptation to shop til I drop I'll be so close Samantha CITY HALL EXPANSION UPDATE Representatives from the City, representatives from Bonestroo and Associates and representatives from Mikkelson-Wulff met on Thursday 1/27/94 to discuss some differences of opinion about who should pay for a number of questionable construction items. Most of the items were architectural errors and omissions in the design plans. The end result was a reduction in some costs and elimination of others. On 2/1/94, staff met with Mikkelson-Wulff to discuss a revised substantial completion date. Due to some legitimate delays, the new substantial completion date for the entire project is 3/3/94. The new Administration and Park and Recreation area will be ready by mid February, but the Police area won't be completed until the first week in March due to the need for phasing the construction in that area. The next steps of the construction process will include demolishing the wall/windows between the existing Planning/Engineering office and the new Administration office area and the main hallway at the top of the basement stairs. They will also be demolishing the wall in the Video Technicians area to create a doorway for the new downstairs bathroom. In addition, the cabinets and sink that will be built in the old office supply storage area will take place early next week (2/7/94) .
