redevelopment of the Mermaid area, said redevelopment involving (among other things) the
construction of a hotel and the addition of a banquet facility to the existing Mermaid restaurant;
and

issuance ofa permit by, the Rice Creek Watershed District, given the proximity of the
redevelopment to Rice Creek and its surrounding wetland(s); and
WHEREAS, Rice Creek Watershed District representatives have indicated that issuance
of the required permit will be contingent upon the development of an acceptable plan for the
handling of stormwater run-off from the entire redevelopment site; and

makes it advisable to retain the services of a consultant to assist the City and the Developer in
devising a feasible and affordable water quality management plan; and

Developer reap the full benefit ofa previously-awarded OTED grant (in the amount of$333,333)
that was intended to assist with some of the costs related to the implementation of stormwater
handling improvements in the area in question; and
