Mounds View City Council June 28, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Council Member Marty stated that the amount that is listed for land acquisition appears to be 2 <br />grossly low, and that if that is the case, then the site improvements would be low. He stated he 3 <br />didn’t know how road improvements would be, but $3.5 million for just the business area along 4 <br />County Highway 10 is low. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Economic Development Director Backman stated his response was that you don’t always know 7 <br />what projects will be occurring out there, so there is going to be some variations. He stated it is 8 <br />challenging to predict these things. He stated the TIF advisors suggested this amount. He stated 9 <br />he would be reluctant to raise it above the $9.1 million. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Council Member Stigney stated that page 9, last paragraph, conflicts with number 5 on the actual 12 <br />resolution. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Economic Development Director Backman stated that they’ve delineated these various parcels to 15 <br />be included potentially to be acquired, but that doesn’t mean they are going to acquire them. He 16 <br />stated he would like to make an addition to the resolution in at No. 1, second sentence, to say, 17 <br />“The Project Plan Modification is in response to a settlement dated May 14, 2003, with the 18 <br />Office of the State Auditor and Attorney General, which includes the listing of specific properties 19 <br />authorized for acquisition.” 20 <br /> 21 <br />Economic Development Director Backman stated he had received one comment from the public, 22 <br />and her concern was that when they do get to the projects, that they are compatible with the 23 <br />neighborhoods that are next to them. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Mayor Linke closed the public hearing. 26 <br /> 27 <br />MOTION/SECOND.
