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