minutes). Mr. Hartley reported that the property owners are willing to <br />accept the benefits listed in Attachment I in lieu of cash payments for <br />right-of-way. <br /> <br />Mr. Terry Smith, attorney representing the Hamiltons and Holaseks, <br />requested that the agreement between the property owners and the City <br />state that the services listed in Attachment I, excluding the dollar figure <br />attached to each of the services, will be offered in exchange for necessary <br />right-of-ways. <br /> <br />Motion by Coumcilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Pearson accepting <br />the terms presented in Attachment I for acquisition of easements south of <br />U.S. Highway #10 and directing the City Attorney to prepare an agreement <br />which would transfer fee title to Ramsey for right-of-way incorporating the <br />conditions listed in Attachment I. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Mr. Hartley stated that once the agreement is drafted <br />to Council's satisfaction, Council will adopt a resolution authorizing the <br />Mayor and City Administrator to execute the agreements with the property <br />owners; once the agreements are filed, Ramsey is obligated to fulfill the <br />contract. Mr. Smith reiterated that the dollar figures attached to the <br />various services listed in Attachment I not be included in the agreement <br />language. Mr. Hartley asked if the property owners present agree that the <br />conditions listed in Attachment I reflect their understanding of what has <br />been reached in negotiations. Mr. Smith stated that the Hamiltons and <br />Holaseks agree with the terms listed in Attachment I provided the agreement <br />does not reflect the dollar values attached to those terms; the Elofsons <br />stated they agree with the terms listed. Mr. Raatikka stated that the <br />motion should include similar terms being agreed to with the Hanson <br />property. Councilmember Cox directed that the motion also apply to an <br />agreement with the Hanson property. Councilmember Pearson inquired if the <br />proposed improvements will increase the property values and therefore the <br />taxes. Mr. Hartley replied that the City Assessor has indicated that the <br />presence of trunk lines should have minimal impact on property value; <br />significant increases to property value comes when buildings are built and <br />utilities are actually used. Mayor Reimann stated that he disagrees <br />somewhat with providing lighting and then the City having to pay the <br />electric bills perpetually. Mr. Hartley noted that the lighting is street <br />lighting and not security lighting; street lighting has a safety factor and <br />cities typically pay the electric bills for street lights in commercial <br />areas as a show of support of commercial development. Councilmember DeLuca <br />stated that he feels the City should have acquired the right-of-way at the <br />original appraised value; the services being offered represent a $7,000 <br />difference from the original appraised value but more than that has spent <br />in time and effort negotiating the proposal before council now. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers $orteberg, Cox <br />and Pearson. Voting No: Councilmember DeLuca. <br /> <br />Case. #2: <br /> <br />Sewer And W~ter Improvements For Front Street N.W. From <br />Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. To Tungsten Street N.W.; <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to adopt <br /> City Council/December 22, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 7 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
