He recommended <br />this approval be contingent upon receiving the final report on the property from LHB. <br /> <br />President Mueller requested further information on the Redevelopment TIF District. Assistant <br />City Administrator Beeman explained the developer would be applying for the Redevelopment <br />TIF District. He indicated the developer would be writing a check to the City for the purchase <br />price of the property. He noted the Redevelopment TIF District would have a maximum life of <br />26 years. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause asked if it benefited one party or the other to be the applicant for the <br />TIF District. Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, stated it was better for the developer to be <br />the applicant because the developer would be assuming the risk. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause.

Update from City Attorney on 30’ Easement between the Skyline Motel and <br />Bio Clean Property. <br /> <br />Assistant City Attorney Anderson provided the EDA with an update on the 30’ easement <br />between the Skyline Motel and the Bio Clean property. He explained during the purchase of the <br />Skyli ne Motel property that the 30’ remnant remains in the names of four individuals. The City <br />has the names of these four individuals but understands the property may now be in the hands of <br />their heirs. The City will work to find these heirs and will have them sign a quit claim deed. He <br />explained the other option would be for the City to pursue a condemnation proceeding. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause questioned who was paying the property taxes for this easement. <br />Assistant City Attorney Anderson stated no property taxes were being paid for the easement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bergeron asked if the City could pursue the quit claim deed and the condemnation <br />at the same time. Assistant City Attorney Anderson explained he was uncertain of these actions
