City Engineer Westby stated that fund is used for unfunded or unexpected projects and therefore <br />this would be a typical use. <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked the balance of the fund. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that he was not certain of the balance but noted that the balance is <br />substantial, estimating over $500,000. <br />Councilmember Riley asked how the price of $1 per square foot was determined and whether <br />that was included in the projected estimate for the project. <br />City Engineer Westby stated that is the high -end that the City would pay for easement and <br />therefore staff would hope the easement cost would be less than that cost. He stated that the <br />higher -end limit was included for proposed Council action in order to keep the project moving <br />along but again hoped that the negotiation would come in lower. <br />Mayor Strommen provided the opportunity for the Schmitzs to speak and they declined. She <br />referenced the counter-offers made by the Schmitzs and the cost change that would occur if the <br />December 31st timeline is exceeded. She believed that the language of the motion should be <br />clear to identify that timeline and noted that if the project is not complete by December 31st, the <br />case should return to the Council. <br />Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember LeTourneau, to Adopt <br />Resolution #17-10-274 Accepting Quotes and Awarding Contract for Improvement Project #17- <br />13, Potassium Street Cul-De-Sac Improvements contingent upon staff obtaining an easement, for <br />the proposed cul-de-sac, from Shade Tree Communities LLC, in an amount not to exceed $1 per <br />square foot and authorize staff to enter into a settlement agreement with the Schmitzs that in <br />consider of an $8,050 contribution, the City will proceed with the project, retain any necessary <br />easements upon the Schimitzs' property, and negotiate a reasonable time for completion of <br />December 31, 2017 (if not complete by that date the case shall return to the Council), subject to <br />the review and approval of the City Attorney. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Johns, LeTourneau, Kuzma, <br />Riley, and Shryock. Voting No: None. <br />r.
