Mr. Condit reviewed the options available to Council in dealing with Council
resignations. He noted that Councilor June had been appointed lo fill Ed Marcotte’s
term, which will come up for election t:his year. En the past, Council has used both an
advertisement/interview and direct appointment processes to MI1 vacancies. One
option would be to wait for the voters to fill the position in the November election.
However, waiting until January, when the new Councilors took office, posed a risk of
deadlocked decisions, because there would be an even number of councilors !6). He
said that in the past, the interview process had taken approximately two months.
VII. REPORTS OF CI3-Y OFFICERS
Doug Schmitz, Citv Manager, reported that the contract for landscaFe maintenance
services approved on the consent agenda had been $23,000 last year. He explained
that the increase to $60,000 was due to robing into the base contract the services for
which the City had paid extra Iast year (i.e., mulching, extra mowing), and the
addition of 26 new sites. He commented that going out to bid for landscape
maintenance cost the City less than in-house maintenance, because the City did not
have to pay for the benefits, equipment or supervision costs.
Mr. Schmitz noted that Tables 10 and 11 in the community survey had been
distributed to the Council.
Mr. Schrnitz reminded the Council that flower basket hanging day was this Saturday.
The Council concurred that Mr. Schmitz would represent the City at the event. ’

property to the Luscher Farm property. If the City increases the urban growth boundary
to take in the Luscher Farm property, the City will include the remainder of the Fan
property in the request for annexation in the u&an growth boundary. If that happens: -----.- - - ,.. - x-.-
and if the sewer and water is extended to then serve the park on Luscher Farm property,
WC would make that available to the remainder of the Fzrr prcperty, at their cost. The City
will also agree to give them a temporary easement to allow their grain field to remain on
the property they are selling to us, until such time as they get sewer and water or we
decide to move it onto their property in order to develop, or it fails and we move it onto
their property at our cost. The City agrees to pay any assessment for back taxes that are
assessed for loss of farm deferral on the remainder of the Fan property; and, to authorize
the City Manager to sign all the escrow documents in the agreement. The motion was
seconded.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Condit explained the following:
0 The contract recognized that the issue of relocating the urban growth boundary was
not within the City’s jurisdiction -- it was Metro’s;
0 The phrase”at their cost” meant that th,- City would make the ability to have sewer
stubs (off the line they brought in to bring sewer and water to a Luscher Farm park)
available to the Farr property, but that Farr would have to pay the hook-up and
extension costs;
. These conditions have been negotiated, but none of them were yet in a written
document approve by Mr. Farr;
0 Staff needed Council’s authorization to agree to these conditions.
The vote was taken and the motion passed with Chrisman, June, Klammer, Holstein,
Puskas, Mayor Schlenker and Anderson voting in favor.
