1. Call to Order
Mayor Brian Stumpf called the special meeting to order at 5 p.m.
2. 5 p.m. Review Proposed Fire Station Site Plan Adjustments
Matt Leonard, City Engineer/Public Works Director, began discussion on the item. He
noted that there was a mistake when the footings were poured for the new fire station.
This has caused concern for future drainage and discussion on possible corrections that
will make the site work as well as originally planned. Mr. Leonard introduced Justin
Kannas, Bolton & Menk, who is the subconsultant for Brunton Architects the cities
consultant for this project. Mr. Kannas presented a list of items that could correct the
issue with the intent to minimize disruption and cost. He also noted that the biggest long
term issue is storm water.
Discussion ensued among council. Councilmember Hilgart expressed his opinion that the
cost of the curb should be Brunton Architects. The city should have no cost. Mayor
Stumpf requested that Mr. Leonard look into extending the warranty period.
The Council provided direction that if the facility could be re -designed to as good or
better condition that they would consider a change order for modifying the finished floor
elevation. There was consensus among the Council to regrade the soccer club lot with the
addition of curb and gutter, changing the bituminous driveway apron to concrete, and
other items. There may be a need for a special meeting to obtain final approval in order
for paving to begin.
3. 5:45 p.m. External Roadway Requirements for Development
Matt Leonard began discussion on the external roadway requirements and requested
feedback from the Council. Mr. Leonard noted that currently for the rural sections that
exist in the city, the only improvements made are safety improvements until the time of
development, at which time the road is improved to urban standard and assessed. There is
the option to require a developer with a project to install urban improvements when
located on rural section. An example would be the new apartment building project on
Edmonson. The city could require this developer to install curb, gutter, and sidewalk on
one side of the road. The downside to this process is with smaller lots/projects.

There was some discussion among Council. Mr. Leonard also noted that the City
Attorney advised as long as the project is listed in the CIP and adjacent to development
the city could require the developer to install improvements.
There was consensus among council that staff require developers to include
improvements as development occurs.
4. Adjournment
