Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to adopt Resolution #00- 02-051 granting a one-year extension to May 12, 2001, to record the final plats of River Pines 3rd and 4th Additions. Further discussion: Councilmember Connolly inquired if the reason for the delay was marketing. Community Development Director Frolik explained that the Development Agreement requires that the development is done in phases one through five and most developers want to complete one phase before they record the next phases. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that if US Homes fails to meet their obligations then so be it. He stated that there are many residents who are not happy living next to a crater. Mr. Pritchard replied that the creator is not the responsibility of Orrin Thompson Homes, but part of a Council's decision with Good Value Homes. Councilmember Anderson inquired if the area will be returned to its original grade when the mining permit expires in June. Community Development Director Frolik replied yes. Councilmember Connolly inquired as to what happens if they don't grant the extension. Community Development Director Frolik explained that if the extension is not granted US Homes would have to record phases three and four by May 12, 2000. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, and Anderson. Voting No: Councilmember Connolly and'Hendriksen. Case #8: Recommend Policy for Recreation District Accounting Modification Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that at the City Council and P~k and Recreation Commission work session of September 21, 1999, the subject of how park dedication proceeds are accounted for and allocated was discussed. After a lengthy analysis of the pros and cons of the existing system, there was a consensus agreement that modification to the current practice was in order. The revision would provide for increased flexibility in park spending citywide - but maintaining Recreation District integrity by reserving some dollars for only neighboring park and open space enhancement. The new system discussed would distribute the moneys as follows: · 50 percent of park dedication contributions would be retained within the District generating the cash - for improvements within or bordering the District. · 50 percent of park dedication cash would be retained in a "city-wide district" for capital improvements in any or ali districts and for any park and trail projects. Interest earnings on the citywide district would be retained within the district. Interest earnings over the aggregate of the 17 districts would also be applied to the citywide district unless specified otherwise by year-end. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained that at the January's regular Park and Recreation Commission meeting, the proposed resolution was recommended for approval. This resolution, if passed, would be effective immediately for new park dedication contributions. The City Council/February 22, 2000 Page 22 of 27
