The HRA discussed options available, noting the City currently has a policy for the contractor to make repairs and that is the case with this situation as well. It was clarified that the streetscape is already installed and the issue before the HRA is to work through a process going forward. Commissioner Backous stated this should have been anticipated and he is disappointed that things like this (resulting in additional costs) keep coming back. Rather, it should have been built into the costs. Commissioner Backous advocated for only patching the sidewalk. Commissioner Elvig requested additional information on costs, noting it may be the case that all of streetscape is damaged by projects. Commissioner Wise felt the HRA/City had impeded the properties by installing streetscape prior to development, noting that should have been thought about since it was planned to construct to the property line. Commissioner Tossey stated it is clear that damage would happen and the developer has agreed to pick up the costs on what they damaged. He agreed it should have been anticipated; however, it wasn't and he preferred that the HRA not put any money forward unless it is covered retroactively by Anoka County HRA funds. HRA Executive Director Ulrich stated that may be a good use of Anoka County HRA funds because it is a one -time expenditure. Commissioner Ramsey stated this will be an issue to Zeolite and the concern is that it will have a patchwork appearance. Commissioner Strommen stated there are two issues: the issue before the HRA tonight; and, the staff request on policy going forward for pre- and post - construction. She asked whether staff can provide estimated costs and stated she supports a policy if the HRA can get a pre- estimate and finalize it post construction. Development Manager Lazan stated that is the input he is looking for, to create policy to protect the streetscape going forward. He explained that Flaherty & Collins is trying to protect the streetscape and is not making a request. Commissioner Elvig stated he is looking for ideas that make sense, such as whether stained or bleached concrete is an option to eliminate a patchwork appearance. Chairperson McGlone expressed his outrage about this situation because six years ago he had testified before the City Council on this very issue, that installing streetscape predevelopment is throwing money ($750,000) away. He stated he wanted to remind all that he had made that argument and felt bituminous pathways should have been installed, similar to the temporary trail on the other side of the road.
