5. Member/Staff Input <br />City Administrator Ulrich reported that the City Council approved the Northgate Church project. <br />He also reported that the purchase agreement for McDonald's has been signed and construction <br />will begin next year. He stated that the purchase agreement on the Super America site was <br />cancelled by Super America due to the City Council's action on Wiser Choice and this item will <br />come back to the HRA at its next meeting. He stated the City Council approved an option <br />agreement to purchase the property for an assisted living center. He reminded the EDA of the <br />rail ribbon cutting today at 1:00 p.m. and the Youth First Community of Promises Event at 5:30 <br />p.m. tonight at Greenhaven. He advised the City has continued its discussions with Target and <br />there will be an executive site team visit soon. <br />Member Steffen stated he has received feedback about the rationale for putting in a gas station <br />and liquor store across the street from an existing gas station and liquor store. He added he has <br />similar concerns for Coborn's. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated the City always weighs the concerns of existing businesses and <br />the City did not hear any objection from Coborn's either formally or informally. He agreed with <br />Member Steffen's concerns about existing businesses but reiterated the objections were non- <br />existent from Coborn's. He added the City has worked with Coborn's on access to the center and <br />Coborn's appears to be pleased with the alignment and additional parking. <br />Member Steffen stated he has heard grumblings from Coborn's especially if Target comes in. <br />6.
