8.01: Reuse of Former Municipal Site Councilmember Riley stated an open house was held last week to discuss reuse of the former municipal site and staff has a presentation on input received. Development Services Manager Gladhill explained that Connexus Energy has approached the City to consider use of the former municipal site as a Data Center. He described the notification process, comment format, and resident input received at the open house that will be considered when preparing a final report. Assistant to the City Administrator Brama stated comment was received from 12 residents via phone /voicemail /email and 18 residents who attended the open house, noting there had been general opposition to a data center concept and preference to a single - family concept. It was acknowledged there was no formal application under consideration by the City at this time. Next steps will be to go back to the Planning Commission and EDA for additional input and formal recommendation, preparation of a final staff report, and presentation to the City Council mid- to late -May. Assistant to the City Administrator Brama stated staff will follow up with a notification to residents of the outcome. The Council acknowledged it had received resident comments as well and thanked staff for this helpful feedback. The consensus of the Council supported the next steps as presented. 8.02: Volunteer Opportunity Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood announced the opportunity to contribute community service hours, as needed by graduating High School seniors, on May 18, 2013, to plant trees at North Commons Park. 9.
