on thc youth of Ramsey; he doesn't want an adversarial relationship when community education and Ramsay are trying for the same goal. Mr. stated that he do~-sn't feel community education should pay for Council's perception of the school district as a whole. Community education will do it's best to provide what the city wants for the amount of dollars it wants to spend but they need the city's cooperation.

Case ~2: Dase ~8 - Uvdate On Requests For Tax Increment Assistance: Mr. Dick Carson stated that he is requesting that City Council initiate the establishment of a tax inzrement district to extend sewer and water trunk to his and Sid Schaumburg's proposed residential development of Ramsay Terrace Pond. Mr. Carson stated that he feels there should be an agreement to establish a tax increment project prior to entering into the agreement outlined in M~. ~orris' memo to David l{artley dated October 20, 1987. Mr. Hartley stated that the agreement would include all the items listed in the October 20 mem~~ and indicate Ramsey's interest in using tax increment financing to extend trunk utilities to the area. Mr. Hart!ay ~tated that it would not be appropriate for Council to make any representations to use tax increment without some documentation that the development will take place. }lr. Carson stated that the City's representation should be more than an enpression of interest if the developers are going to provide $15,000 for a feasibility study. Mr. Carson requested a firm commitment to use tax increment for the project; if it can't be provided, the developers will research another way ~r place to develop. Councilmember DeLuca stated that it would be appropriate to add an item to the agreement indicating the development is contingent upon establishing a tax increment district with funds being used to extend utilities in accordance with the tax increment policy adopted by City Council. Mr. Hartley stated that another issue to be addressed is accelerated SAC pa>~ents to avoid a four year defici: period in which the City would have to carry the project. Mr. Hartley stated that Mr. Ron Batty, F~ansey's bond counsel, has recommended that the accelerated SAC payments be referenced in the Stage ! development agreement and finalized in the Stage £ development agreement. Council consensus was to proceed with the proposed deveicpment as a tax increment project arid that -~taff and developers should meet to draft an agreemen~ agreeab!~ tc all parties te be reviewed by City Council.
