<br />Councilmember McGlone stated that during the comp plan process, Mr. Peck of North <br />Fork came in and he wanted to amend another North Fork addition. When that next <br />addition comes before the City, will we require him to put in a sidewalk. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works Olson replied not on Andrie Street. We would probably take <br />his cash for the trail fund and put it likely on a project for Alpine. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone. asked if he would have to put in sidewalks on one side to <br />which Mr. Olson replied yes.

Over the years, rules and regulations <br />pertaining to Tax Increment, Tax Abatement and Business Subsidy law have changed. A <br />policy was written, then reviewed and adopted by the Economic Development Authority <br />on November 13, 2009. The policy updates the old policy, implements changes in <br />Business Subsidy Statutes, clarifies public purpose and creates an objective scoring <br />system/application to rate proposed projects. The new scoring system will allow staff to <br />compare projects objectively before making recommendations. Mr. Sullivan inquired if <br />the Council had any questions and reported that staff is asking that Council adopt the <br />resolution adopting the policy and criteria. <br /> <br />City Council/January 13,2009 <br />Page 10 of 31 <br />
