Mr. Schroeder noted that Council has previously approved the development of the property north of Automated EDM for Wolf and Associates. We have been proposing a re-plat of property in order to facilitate that development. Staff was just informed that we have an immediate timing problem which creates the need to gain Council approval of a minor subdivision this evening. The project is being conducted under a 1031 Exchange which requires substantial project completion by January 28, 1998. Any delay in delivery of the land will eliminate that possibility. Other options for land delivery exist but all that we have identified put the City in a deficient site control position. Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that the area to be platted is generally north of' McKinley Street and east of Unity Street. The plat consists of creating one, four-acre lot, one 2.6 acre lot and one outlot from Lot 1, Block 2, Business Park 95 2nd Addition. Both lots exceed the minimum area and dimensional requirements for the Industrial District. Staff is recommending final plat approval. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #97-09-289 granting final plat approval of Business Park 95 Sixth Addition. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Mr. Schroeder stated that Council has briefly discussed a concern for continuance of economic development activities during the next three to four months. He presented an agreement, effective October 1, 1997, for consulting services with AEC. The agreement provides for a $2,000/month retainer for 20 hours of service with time billed at $100/hour thereafter. For projects which are generated under the contract, a I% finders fee would be an additional project expense. For projects in process that the consultant works on there would be no such fee. He requested Council enter into this agreement in 30-day increments with the assumption that this would survive for up to four months. Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to authorize consulting contract for AEC Contract. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Beahen, Beyer, Haas Steffen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #I 1: Award Bids for City Hall Re-roofing (Improvement Project #97-24) City Engineer Jankowski pointed out that, within the 1997 budget, $60,000 was allocated for the re-roofing of the remaining four sections of the City hall roof that were not replaced in 1992. Unlike those sections over the fire garage and the mall area which were replaced, these remaining four sections are not leaking. However, with the roof being 20 years old, replacement at this point can be more economical than waiting until leakage occurs, since the replacement of wet insulation can be relatively expensive. The bids received were opened on Friday and he recommended that Council award the base bid and the alternate amount of $36,990 to Nieman Roofing who was the lowest responsible bidder. He noted that the alternate bid is because the City Council/September 23, 1997 Page 18 of 23 I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I; I
