Discussion only, no consensus needed. <br /> <br />Long Lake Woods: CDD Sevald/Administrator Zikmund <br />Developer Harstad and Property Owner Doll have been advised of the meeting on the <br />4th with. Developer Harstad requested an opportunity to interact with the full council and <br />Council Member Bergeron requested input from the property owners directly impacted. <br />Mr. Doll did come in and meet with me for nearly an hour. Reviewed with him the <br />informal and formal development process (informal to date, formal process would begin <br />with submission of a preliminary plat). Also, reviewed the eminent domain process. He <br />had no additional questions. Advised him the workshop meeting was a consensus but <br />non-binding process.

Requested <br />Council assistance in acquisition of Parcel A.

I believe Director <br />Thomas has some ideas that intersect directly with the Councils Strategic Plan specific <br />to the goal of community engagement and more on point, our diverse population. The <br />YMCA programs are a model of engagement for our diverse community. The <br />presentation illustrates the possibilities if we allow the Y to capture more of the revenue <br />they generate. The budget impact could be neutralized or minimized by locking in
