<br />Acting Mayor Riley asked City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby if he wished to <br />add anything to the discussion. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby indicated what City Administrator Hagen <br />had said was accurate and the applicant did add the restroom request during the process. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Howell to collect fees identified and invoices sent by the City’s finance <br />department. <br /> <br />Motion failed for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked what happens if they do not decide either option if it would just <br />revert to default. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff said if that happens then they will find a compromise. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley said that if they do nothing, then these fees have already been billed. <br /> <br />City Attorney Fritz Knaak noted there is a provision in the City charter that any resolution, <br />ordinance, or motion does need four yes votes to pass. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff said that he would like to offer a compromise that they do not charge <br />the $97.82. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked what the legal side would be if they did nothing. <br /> <br />City Attorney Fritz Knaak said that nothing would happen. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht clarified that it would revert to the $398.62 all being charged. <br /> <br />City Attorney Fritz Knaak said that was correct. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht said that he would like all fees reduced; however, if they could just reduce <br />a part, he would be open to that compromise. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Specht, to not invoice St. <br />Katherine Drexel the $97.83 but keep previously paid amounts. <br /> <br />Further discussion: <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley said this seems like a compromise; however, the City is mostly made whole <br />and he thinks this makes sense. Councilmember Howell said that this seems a little bit arbitrary. <br /> <br />City Council / August 8, 2022 <br />Page 7 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
