City Engineer Olson noted that the developer would have constructed the infrastructure in 2002. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that there is no guarantee what type of future development <br />will occur. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson explained that at the time a new plat came in there would be implications to <br />the storm sewer and it would be the developer's responsibility to pick up the costs for the <br />development. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he had thought they were saying that they would give the <br />developer credit for money they would collect in the future at today's dollar value. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied that the pipes they would be talking about need to be put in <br />regardless of what goes into the site. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen inquired as to where the initial funds for the infrastructure would <br />come from. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson explained that the up-front costs would be paid for by the developer and <br />then the City would waive any future storm water management fund fees for the site. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that if the pipe goes in the ground today that is when the <br />useful life of the pipe begins. They need to make sure tax payers are covered in the case where <br />the infrastructure is installed and then the development never occurs or it does not occur in a <br />timely manner. The part that bothers him is that they are paying for something based on the <br />anticipation of receiving revenue in the future. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson reviewed the upstream offsite expenditure language. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec left at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that he objects to the City paying for any downstream <br />expenses. He felt that the developer should pay for all costs and then be given credit when the <br />development occurs. <br /> <br />City Engineer OIson explained that if they were going to require that all downstream facilities be <br />paid for by the developer there would be no reason for a storm water management fund because <br />the City would continue to accumulate funds without having to spend anything from the fund. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen and City Engineer Olson reviewed different development scenarios <br />at length. <br /> <br />Councihnember Anderson stated that it seemed like if the upstream pipe is mis-sized then maybe <br />that should be rectified by the utility fund rather than by the developer. <br /> <br />City Council/September 17, 2002 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
