He stated that some of these details had been discussed early in the development process, but what had not been known was the exact path they would take to avoid disruption to Sunwood. Chairperson Steffen asked why the choice was made to reduce the property cost in order to provide the cost -share. Economic Development Manager Sullivan replied that the developer agreed to this method and it will allow the project to stay on schedule. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill noted that another benefit would be that the developer would install the utilities, which avoids the City having to go through its own plan prep, bidding, and construction process.
