2) Proposed Manufacturing Site on the Bury and Carlson Property <br />Economic Development/Marketing Manager Backman reviewed the staff report. He asked if the <br />Council had any interest in selling the property to a manufacturer that is interested. This <br />manufacturer would employ 300 people. <br />Councilmember Backous stated he approved that option and questioned the current lease. <br />Economic Development/Marketing Manager Backman explained they are beginning the third <br />year of a 10 -year lease. It would cost roughly $440,000 to end the lease early. <br />Councilmember Elvig brought up the issue of having only one site Public Works can move to. <br />Deputy City Administrator Nelson explained if there is a desire to continue this discussion, it <br />will be brought back to Council next week.

He explained if both the seller and the City are <br />unwilling, this trail may need to drop out of consideration. He also explained Conexxus has <br />overhead lines in that area, and they asked that the City consider burying those. Consideration <br />should be given to the fact that if the interchange comes in, it is developable land and could cost <br />up to $100,000. It is a question of where those funds would come from. <br />It was the Council's consensus was to bring this item back at a future meeting. <br />FUTURE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br />1) Future Topics Calendar <br />MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br />None <br />City Council Work Session / February 8, 2011 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
