City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 26, 2003 Page 9 1 Councilmember Faust stressed time was getting short, noting he was speaking personally and not 2 for the rest of the Council.

He asked about the value of the project, in its entirety, to the community. 9 Ms. Kvilvang responded the value was potentially$250 million with full development. 10 11 Mayor Hodson asked if fiscal disparities within the district were uncommon for a project of this 12 magnitude. Ms. Kvilvang replied she was not going to respond, as that should be a local 13 decision. She added communities have chosen both options. 14 15 Mayor Hodson asked what type of burden would come to the residents if the City went outside 16 the district. He added the City continually came to this point and then a project would dissolve. 17 He stated he felt the residents were tired of that result and they should have an opportunity to 18 review the costs and give feedback to Council. He noted he would not close the door as sharply 19 as Councilmember Faust.
