Chairperson Steffen thought it was worth asking if a time contingency could be placed on the PA. City Administrator Ulrich stated the City was more concerned with getting the property back on the tax role and making a clean sale without contingencies of development. Member Skaff stated he would be uncomfortable putting something into the agreement this late in the phase. Chairperson Steffen thought they should leave this as is without adding anything to the agreement. Member Skaff agreed. 4.06: Consider a Recommendation on a Resolution #14 -10 -204 Supporting the Highway 10 Access Planning Study Initiated by the Minnesota Department of Transportation Development Services Manager Gladhill presented the staff report and indicated the EDA is requested to consider a recommendation on a Resolution of Support of the Highway 10 Access Planning Study requested by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT).
