D'Iayor Kingsford, on the agenda tonite is the Regional Shopping Center
issue, Councilman Tolsma has asked for a Special Meeting tonite on that
issue, I would like to thank the Committee for the efforts thcy have put
in, they have put in a great many hours and would also like to thank Mr.
Rasmussen and the Price/Claremont people for their consideration and time
they have spent with the Committee working on those items. At this time
I would like to make this recommendation to the Council and the Committee,
I suppose the Co~mittee would have to handle this but I suggest they have
a person designatect to talk to the press and media, again this is only
a suggestion. At this time I will defer to Councilman Tolsma who did ask
this meeting be scheduled.
Councilman Tolsma, the Committee has had discussion with the Price/Claremont
people on the ongoing costs and other items that were brought up by Dr.
Slaughter in his presentation and at this time the Committee is very
optimistic in negotiations held to this point. At this time with the rest
of the Council approval I would like to make the Motion that the City
Attorney prepare the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment while the Committee continues to negotiate
several key factors or key points not yet addressed by the meetings we
have been having and that these items be included in the Findings.
P~Iotion seconded by Councilman Giesler.
Motion Carried: Brewer, Yea: Tolsma, Yea; Myers, Yea; Giesler, Yea:
Mayor Kingsford asked Mr. Rasmussen if he would like to make any comments.
Mr. Rasmussen, I appreciate your remarks Mr. Mayor and Council and as
far as Price and Claremont Development Companies are concerned we are
very appreciative of the time this Committee has put forward. It is our
job to come to a community and spend this kind of time but these men
have obligations of their own and businesses to run and they have been
very gracious in granting us the time that they have so far and we look
forward to concluding these negotiations very optimisticly and very
quickly as soon as we can. We stand ready and available to meet with you
at your convenience, as soon as possible to conclude these things and
welcome this call for the Findingsof Fact and Conclusions of Law by your
City Attorney. I might also add to expedite things we ought to have the
Attorney involved in the negot'i_~?.t.in:~, ~,ae would welcome his presence in
these meetings.
