Cott~cilmcmbc~' K. ttt'al< questioned it' some of the co~ts being laid out would notxna[ly be absorbed by a dcvc'lOl)ct as it goes a [o~g slowly, and if the Costs would be recouped later. Assisttmt 1*L~l~lic Weft'ks Dit'ector O}son replied if it was in incremental extension there would be somC cxpct~scS coming h-om tim devcloper; howevm:, that is what the tmd~ fund [s for. As pa~ of Ibc Alpine Wo{~ds subdivision the City will reduce 'the amount of ~xl2 fees the developer would give to the City by the amo~mt of the extra size and depth that will be going t~ough his ~ . . ". t the City will be paying back or forgiving of the sub([iviston. Ihet~,a ~ associated w~th ext~ stz costs arc alwttys tr~clu}lcd when d~scussing construction costs. 'zne p m dcvcIoper. I lxat ~m o . } . dcsig~ is bro[<cn i~to a nunabcr ol dil-'ferent tasks. There are a number of components to the enginccring aspect t~{' this projcct t~at have some veU close interaction together. That was the reason Ik)t' thc discussion off atzquisi~ion. Acquisition does not have to occur now, but this is a six to tw(zlvc nmnth p~.occss and there arc certain things that will have to be done. For example t, rclimimu'y design is outlined in tasks m~e tln'ough four. B Ce feasibility study there were 10 to 15 di l'l~t'c~t option:4 and they have I)ec~ nmTowed to tMee options. They now need to do fugher defining o I' thc al~gm~ent and sce if there.are any obstacles. One obstacle they ~ow of is the gun clttb with thc lead txmtamh~ation. ]hey are not ready to put pipes in the ~ound, but they need to know where they wit1 go when they discUss land acquisition and if they will be on one side of the wetland as opposed to anotl~er. When talking to different [~downers, one could be amenable to sclling thc -land al~d the' oth~;r opposed. It would be good to know Cat when desi~ng the pipes. Thcrc needs t~) bcu more advanced amtlysis of the aligmxxent shown in the feasibility sk~dy: The detailed dcsig~ and collected field data will be of value no matter what. He suggested the $35,000 and thc $51,000 could go lk)rward tonight. To answer the last question on how this gets lhmncod, this is di['l-Sret~t titan tt~c comprehensive plan process. This is money that can be bor~'owcd against the enterprise fm~ds. In his opinion, regardless of where the aliment gets c~ectccl it is all I~m't of the design pr~,ccss to determine the best atigment. No ma~er what option is chosen it can bc paid back with the bonds for that pa~icular improvement. Gouncihncmbc~' Ku~-al( stated the Council needs to be more aware oft he financial status of this t,t.ojcct. She ne,:cts to look ~[t infom ~ation regarding things like bonds that will not be reimbursed ' [k)r u number' oI~ years, not just the number of housetops. She stated the AU~ is like¢ veU expensive and inqui~'ed how the AU A'I.{ Was handled with Town Center.
