CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman called the City Council Work Session to order at 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />2. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br /> <br />2.01: Review Proposed Senior Project by Trident Development and Provide Feedback to <br />Developer <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan introduced a proposed senior housing development by <br />Trident. He explained that the Council had previously reviewed a smaller Trident proposal for <br />assisted living and memory care units on a nearby site, which included a Tax Increment Financing <br />(TIF) request and rezoning. Still, the Council did not support it at that time. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan explained that the developer has now returned with a <br />new proposal on a different site with existing infrastructure. The updated project is larger and <br />includes 78 assisted living units, 24 memory care units, and 84 independent living units. Trident <br />is requesting approximately $5.54 million in TIF assistance through a 25-year housing district with <br />a 90/10 split. As part of the proposal, 20% of the assisted living and memory care units would be <br />affordable at 50% of the area median income. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan introduced representatives from Trident, Roger Fink, <br />and Andy Brummer to present additional details about the project. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / March 10, 2026 <br />Page 1 of 21 <br />
