Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied that might be a tremendous <br />burden for a person to pay all the fees at once. He suggested the possibility of scheduling a <br />yearly payment for a specific period of time. <br /> <br />Councihnelnber Elvig stated that he was not sure that they wanted to have the general public <br />going through the site so he questioned the necessity of charging a trail fee. He felt that they <br />should review the fees and talk about a pay back time frame since it is a non-profit organization. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook explained that the trail fee is not for the site itself, but is used to complete <br />trail connections throughout the City. He stated that he would be willing to delay the payment of <br />the fees and he would also agree to eliminating some of the fees if the City Attorney advised <br />them that was something they could do. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen replied that she would be concerned that waiving fees would set a <br />precedent, but she would be willing to look at delayed payments. <br /> <br />Conncilmember Kurak agreed with allowing for delayed payments, but when they hook up to <br />sewer the City has to pay a fee to the Met Council and if Lord of Life is allowed to delay <br />payment it is money that would have to come from a City fund. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if the Council would consider delaying the payment of park and trail <br />dedication fees. <br /> <br />Consensus of the City Council was that they would consider delaying the payment of park and <br />trail dedication fees. <br /> <br />Counc/lmember Kurak inquired if it would be possible to use an assessment option where fees <br />would be paid at the time of closing if there is a closing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired if it was possible for the City to pay the Met Council fees from an <br />enterprise fund so that it would not impact the City's general budget. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied that he would have to research <br />that information. Mr. Trudgeon inquired if staff were to bring the final plat before the Council <br />for another extension would they be willing to grant an additional extension. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was yes. <br /> <br />4) City Hall Facility <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that earlier this summer the City Council authorized <br />staff to proceed with the next step in planning for a new City Hall and Police Offices. <br />Conceptual drawings and cost estimates were completed by Bill Baxley of BKV Group who was <br />present to provide that information.
