Ile stated the developer and the consultants <br />should come forward and meet with the Council, and <br />show that the area that has been subtracted is not <br />wetlands; and provide proof, along with 1-22. <br />Councilmember Linke asked what extent of proof <br />would be required. Mayor McCarty replied it would <br />be discussed with the developer and consultants. <br />Director Johnson stated that since the second reading <br />is schedule for November 28, they could, in the <br />interim, schedule a meeting with Braun, Barr and <br />RCS&WCD. <br />.Jim Miller stated that the evidence has been given <br />all the experts already for exactly what the <br />urdinance asks. <br />Councilmember Hankner stated that in looking at all <br />the information received, the wetlands map is based <br />on the RCS&WCD survey, and it has been pointed out <br />over and over that it is very general in nature, and <br />if site specifications are required, they must be <br />obtained from specialists. She replied that the <br />Braun report is simply taking site specific information <br />and applying it to the property. <br />.Jnhn Miller reminded the Council that thav mnst rnn- <br />sider that when the City made the wetland map, it <br />was done by biology students, not professionals, and <br />a professional engineering firm is redefining it now. <br />He stated the City should go back to Braun and ask <br />for substantiation, which would be the proper <br />procedure. <br />Mayor McCarty stated they are just asking for proof. <br />Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated that authorization <br />would be required if any additional money is expended <br />in asking for clarification or proof from Braun. <br />Mayor McCarty replied that he is not willing to invest <br />any more of the City's money, from the S14M fund, and <br />that it is the developers responsibility. <br />Councilmember Linke stated he was against spending any <br />further funds as the engineering report has come back <br />with the delineation of 1-23, which is exactly what <br />the City asked for. <br />Councilmember Hankner stated she was against spending <br />any further money as she does not feel the City or <br />anyone else needs to incur the expense, as they already <br />have enough information from the experts. <br />• <br />
