Case #7: Adopt a Resolution to Accept a Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MNRRA) Grant from the National Park Service Planning Intern Skoog reported that on December 10, 1996, Council directed staff to apply for funding assistance in the amount of $25,000 from the National Park Service (NPS). This application was submitted in January to the Metropolitan Council, which is administering the program for the NPS. A $20,000 grant was approved in March. Acceptance of this grant will require the City to provide a match of $20,000 consisting of in-kind services and/or cash. Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Haas Steffen to adopt Resolution #97-04-072 accepting the MNRRA grant and to work with the Metropolitan Council to draft a funding agreement. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Beyer, Haas Steffen, Beahen and Zimmerman. VotingNo: None. Case #8: Amendment to Shorewood RV Development Agreement City Administrator Schroeder stated that the City Attorney has advised that in the case of site plan approvals, it's clear we do not have the ability to charge a transportation impact fee. Subdivisions are different. We are asking Council to direct staff to amend the development agreement for Shorewood RV eliminating this fee. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to direct staff and the City Attorney to amend the Shorewood RV development permit to provide for the return of the transportation impact fee escrow. Further discussion: Councilmember Zimmerman felt it's unfortunate the City cannot collect this fee. Developers are not paying their fair share and the residents do not want to have to pay. He thought the developers should have to help pay for what they have caused. He hoped there would be state legislation to make the developer pay for the problems they create. Attorney Goodr/ch stated there's still a possibility we could justify a Charter amendment. /5¥ City Council/April 8, 1997 Page 16 of 19 I I I I I I I I I I I ! I I I
