City Engineer Westby replied he didn't know how many hours he had spent on this but he thought <br /> at least 40 hours. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley commented he thought $5,500 seemed like a good price for the easement <br /> which had been settled on. He felt there were additional fees and asked if it was true that Mr. <br /> Kurak would be willing to pay $2,000. He suggested charging $5,500 plus $2,000 for fees and <br /> writing off the rest due to inefficiencies in Staff learning. He asked if there are other fees in the <br /> future that would arise or if they are done. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied if he has clear direction from Council tonight on the length, the <br /> dollar amount, and that the petitioner isn't going to request anything else, then he would know he <br /> could move forward. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if Mr. Kurak was in agreement and if they could clarify and move <br /> forward. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff summarized that the deal is $7,500 and all expenses are included in <br /> that, as City Attorney Knaak was saying. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove added that there be a line item for the easement. <br /> Mr. Kurak commented that he will be paying $7,500 for the creation of the cartway. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if there was Council consensus. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich stated the agreement was to access a cap of$7,500 to Mr. Kurak with <br /> the expenses being taken from this amount and the remainder being attributed to the cost of the <br /> land. <br /> Mr. Kurak asked if the expenses could be forgotten and what the City is giving him other than a <br /> public roadway. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich suggested setting the cost of the easement at$5,500 as a precedence and <br /> the expenses at a flat fee of$2,000. He added the applicant has a $20,000 escrow and asked if <br /> there was objection to returning the balance of$12,500. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if the neighbor has to be paid or if Mr. Kurak took care of that. <br /> Mr. Kurak replied the neighbor never objected or said they have a problem so he thought they will <br /> be able to finalize it for what they asked. <br /> City Attorney Knaak replied that flows through the City so whatever that amount is should be paid <br /> by the City. <br /> Mr. Kurak replied he can send the neighbor to the City. <br /> City Council Work Session/April 26, 2022 <br /> Page 18 of 20 <br />
