Ric Minetor, Acting City Administrator reviewed Staff Report No. 91- 71C Regarding Development Agreement for 2310 County Road I. Minetor explained that Pat Siwek, representing the owner of the apartment building (the building involved in the recent fire), has requested discussion with the Council on the requirements of the Development Agreement regarding the reconstruction of the building.. Ms. Siwek stated she would be at tonight's meeting but was not present. • Minetor stated that Pat Siwek's concern was the requirement of a Performance Bond and the valuation of the work for the conversion of a handicap accessible unit. The bond is an out-of-pocket expense that the owner will not be able to recover. A deposit would provide similar security, and the owner would then not have an out-of-pocket cost when the work was completed and the security returned. Minetor stated that the valuation of the conversion work was set at $25,000 during the Council's previous discussion of this matter. After additional review of the building and the plans for conversion, the building inspector and Minetor agreed that the valuation of the work was excessive. The owner suggests that the work would cost approximately $4,000 but Minetor stated it would be between $5,000 and $7,500. Minetor stated that a revised value of the deposit is justified. Mayor Linke received plans and bids on the handicapped accessible unit. The bid includes material and labor but no wood or sheetrock and the bid total is $4,700. Mayor Linke would reconsider the $25,000 performance bond but still stated the work will cost in excess of $5,000. Councilmember Quick called a point of order in stating that the Council had previously passed a resolution regarding this item. City Attorney Barney affirmed that the resolution approving the Development Agreement had been redrafted to include a $25,000 performance bond. minds View City Hall lar Meeting September 23, 1991 Page Four City Attorney commented that this Development Agreement was pushed through all offices very fast. In reviewing this item Karney stated that $5,000 was probably too low. Councilmember Quick stated the cash deposit should be $7,500 if the Council was in agreement because the $5,000 appeared to be too low. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Wuori to amend the Development Agreement to require a cash deposit of $7,500. Councilmember Blanchard asked if $7,500 would be enough.. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 3. ,Mayor Linke reviewed Staff Report No. 91-72C regarding Resolution No. 4129 Approving the Joint Cooperation Agreement between Ramsey.

MOTION/SECOND: Blanchard/Wuori to waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. 4129 Approving the Joint Cooperative Agreement between the City of Mounds View and Ramsey County for CDBG Funding and authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute said agreement.
