City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby said it depends on the segment that they are looking <br />at and how much work is needed for the construction. He said they could definitely get design <br />work done but physical work depends on the segment. <br />Councilmember Musgrove suggested making the fill the first priority and the design of the roads <br />the second priority. <br />Councilmember Specht asked about the interest in different areas of the land. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan reviewed the interest in Parcel 46. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff agreed that the fill and design should be the first two priorities. He <br />said he would be more ready to invest in Areas D and E rather than A. He thinks that the focus <br />should be on C, D, and E as well as the waterfront with the short timeline. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan explained that Area A has lots of interest so he would <br />recommend engaging the interested parties soon to get the projects started to know what needs to <br />happen with the fill. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about the purchase agreement in Area D and if that includes the <br />City filling the dirt and doing the road. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that Area D does not have as much trouble with <br />fill and he anticipates that the developer would incur these costs. <br />Councilmember Specht agreed to get the interested parties involved. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan said the interested parties have been very patient. <br />Councilmember Olson agreed that getting developers involved is a good direction. <br />Mayor Kuzma stated that he is in favor of making the movement of dirt the priority. <br />The Council agreed that the movement of dirt was the first priority. <br />City Administrator Hagen reiterated that the costs need to be incurred by the end of November <br />2023; however, if the legislation passes, this would extend the deadline to the end of 2026. He said <br />this would give more time, not more money. He stated that $34,000,000 has been incurred to this <br />point. He explained that the grading, excavating, and design plans are more than the $5,700,000 <br />that they are looking to spend. <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked about changing the policy and the City reimbursing themselves for <br />money already spent. <br />City Council Work Session / February 28, 2023 <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
