The Council action would be for the City Council to adopt a resolution <br />authorizing the preparation of a feasibility study. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook inquired if all the costs were covered in the resolution to assure <br />that the developer is paying them. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson explained that the City would be requiting $14,050 be <br />deposited with the City, and it is stated within the resolution that authorization of the <br />feasibility study does not attthorize the City to proceed with the project: <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he thinks that the stUdy enCompasses a lot more <br />than feasibility because they would be extending sewer and water 2.3 miles into an area <br />that is not included in the Comprehensiv.e Plan for urban development. He felt that the <br />study was premature. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen inquired if the proposal from Golder Associates regarding the <br />lead contamination at the gun club would identify hot spots. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson explained that what might cOme out of the study would be <br />an inclusion in the feasibility study that hot spots have to be identified before any <br />construction can occur. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that the issue of lead has a large impact on feasibility. <br />The concern she has is if they would be getting enough information fi.om the Phase I <br />study. <br /> <br />City Council/February 11, 2003 <br /> Page 9 of 14 <br /> <br />.31- <br /> <br /> <br />
