Ms. Edstrom Smith provided clarifying information that the document states that the restrictive <br /> covenants are not in place because McDonald's was not in operation by the specified date. <br /> Mayor Strommen confirmed the consensus of the Council to direct staff to reach out to <br /> McDonald's and clarify their intent noting that McDonald's would need to build immediately or <br /> the City will pursue their rights under the revert language. <br /> Councilmember LeTourneau stated that McDonald's has not been truthful in their intentions thus <br /> far and would use this as another opportunity to push the can down the road and take up more <br /> time and the City would still not have control of the property. He asked if the City filed a <br /> lawsuit against McDonald's and McDonald's came back and said they would build by a certain <br /> date, could the City then stop the lawsuit and whether the City would then lose the ability to file <br /> suit again. <br /> Ms. Edstrom Smith stated that if a suit is filed and McDonald's did respond in that manner, the <br /> City would not pull the suit simply on the word of McDonald's and would instead perhaps agree <br /> to slow play the lawsuit. She stated that either way the City would not lose the ability to file suit <br /> a second time. <br /> 2.02: Update Case: PSD LLC Business Park Proposal & Business Subsidy Request <br /> Asst.

He stated that if there is going to be a subsidy, it would need to follow the <br /> subsidy policy. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that he is interested in moving forward as well. <br /> Mayor Strommen confirmed the consensus of the Council to support this in continuing to move <br /> forward to the EDA. <br /> 2.03: Arterial Infrastructure to Serve Ramsey's Future Business Park& Capstone Homes <br /> Development <br /> Asst.
