C-7a. Approval - Contract Increase - McCool-Carlson-
to Green/Courthouse Project - $23,535.
There were no public or Council comments. Kornelis referred to a
memorandum (C-7a Substitute Information) distributed to Council
prior to the meeting. Kornelis stated that he received a letter
from the architect on the courthouse project, McCool-Carlson-
Green. The architect requested additional fees for the
inspection services on the courthouse in the amount of $13,537.
These additional costs are to cover the soils contamination
problem and the necessary accelerated work schedule required to
inspect the work. The accelerated work schedule includes two
ten-hour shifts as the +carpenters will be working two shifts
until the work is caught up. Kornelis impressed upon the fact
that a detailed record of the work must be kept due to the
contaminated soils. The.detailed record is necessary in order to
pass the increased cost on to Grace Drilling.
in the packet, information from Wm. J. Nelson & Associates, Inc
breaks down their estimate of additional costs for the increased
inspection due to the contaminated soils. That cost increase is
estimated at $21,395.50.
McCcol-Carlson-Green, in their September 11, 1992.letter
requested an increase of $23#535 (including additional inspection
costs for Wm. J. Nelson & Associates and their mark-up fee). In

Kornelis stated he spoke with the Court System and they stated.
they have no problem with the Wm. J. Nelson & Associates request
for contract increase. However, the Court System is not
comfortable with the increase to the Kluge contract. They would
like to see how the contractor will be doing his work. They will
be meeting on Monday. Kornelis told the Court System that the
next council meeting will be October 7. Kornelis suggested that
council approve the increase to Kluge's contract contingent upon
the Court System's approval.
Smalley asked if the City will be pursuing Grace Drilling to
recover these costs. Kornelis stated yes.

with the owner a few days before and he assured the owner the
City was serious about the removal of the engines.
Smalley stated that the Commission was very pleased with
Administration's efforts on these matters.
Williams referred to Item E of the Commission's agenda which was
a request to build a cabinet shop in the TSH zone. Williams
stated that the property is right in the center of Old Town in
undeveloped area. Lots of area is vacant there. Williams added
that he had discussed with the TSH Task Force, that this area
would be used for the development of "Heritage Village." Cabins
from behind Fort Kenay would be moved there, as well as a cannon
and boats. Most of that property will be needed for this
development. The property will need to be purchased by the City.
Williams added that he has, over the years, stated to amalgamate
that area. The government entity get title of all that property
to utilize it. The Heritage Village development would fall in
line with the area's tourism effort. Williams requested that
development go slow in their until the Task Force has made their
recommendations and the Council decides to purchase the property
for a Heritage Village.
Smalley stated this was discussed at their meeting. The
Commission asked where the money would come from, how much money,
and is it realistically fair to a person who wants to sell
property to hold them up for a wish. Williams stated that they
are not dealing with a long period of time. The Task Force
should be done with their task very quickly. Arness has stated
that they will send their opinions forwarded to P&Z and Council
as soon as possible. Williams added that he doubted the sale
would take place and the building of the shop be started this
year. In answer to whether it is fair, Williams stated that in
this instance, fairness rests in the eye of the beholder. The
best interest of the entire community should be reviewed.
Smalley asked if the City will be offering the same price for the
property as the owner may be able to acquire from his purchaser.
Williams stated that the City would offer the appraised value.
Williams added that the City is not in the position to offer less
or take advantage of the situation. Smalley asked Williams if he
has spoken to Mr. Poppin (the person wanting to sell the
property. Williams stated he had not. Williams added he had
not counted the lots that would be needed. Williams stated the
Bicentennial Committee had blocked out lots in that area.
Williams stated he would speak to the TSH Task Force again and

Smalley stated that he believes the'ordihance is more restrictive
than applied. A person may want to build a glass building there,
but the ordinance requires that the building must.be in harmony
with the area. Smalley stated he believes the ordinance is -.very
restrictive. Smalley added that they are better off with the
ordinance and that it is more restrictive than.what Williams is
indicating.
Williams referred to a building that has been under construction
for some time and it is not in harmony. Williams also indicated
that the person building the building did not have a permit.
Smalley stated that a permit was approved by P&Z. Williams
stated that is the reason why.the Task Force is to review the
ordinance. Williams added why allow things to occur against the
best wishes of the community.
Smalley stated he was not sure this is in the best interest of
the community. The Task Force is attempting to review and he did
not want to discourage that. Smalley added that if the requests
are to go through the Council, P&Z should be informed that it is
not because Council distrusts'P&Z judgment as they believe they.
have a good working relationship with Council at this time.
Swarner stated she did not believe building permits needed to
come before Council. P&Z is doing a good job. If the people do
not like the findings of the Commission, they may still come to
Council.
Walker asked Williams how many years away would the development
of Heritage Village take place. Walker stated the item has not
been listed on the CIP list. The next, few years, monies will be
used for water and sewer projects.and roads.
Brown was asked how much money was in the Capital Improvement
fund. Brown answered $1.5 million.
Smalley stated that he would encourage the City not to take.that
money to fund a project that to not,on the books as'yet, The
money has already been earmarked for.projects0, ponies are:

Monfor stated that if after the City pays this expense.. PTI says
they do not wish to move, the money will be well -spent for future
proposals. Williams added that there are 15.5 acres there and
PTI would be using 6.77. Monfor added that she does not disagree
with Swarner. PTI is privately owned but she can justify the.
cost because if it is not PTI, it could be someone else using the.
property.
Swarner stated she disagreed because they are big business, the
application fee should not be waived. If it waived for one, it
should be waived for everyone. Williams stated he agrees except
one objective is to attract business of every sort. This
proposal is to bring a major company into the area. Williams
added that he discussed the proposal with Brown. Brown suggested
leasing the property back to PTI. Williams stated he is not
willing to allow a $2 million project in potential taxes,
employees, personal property taxes go by because the council did
not want to gamble $1,500.

Smalley stated the books were supposed to have been corrected as
well. Smalley also suggested if department heads wish to
purchase the books, they can do so.
Brown stated that it is rather unusual for someone to tell the
department heads that they need to purchase something. The
department heads know what they need and they are not asking to
buy these books.
Walker stated that the minutes of November, 1991 reflect that the
purchase was contingent upon the payment of taxes and that would
be during that same fiscal year. The payment of taxes was not
made. Walker stated he did not believe this needed to be
addressed as it was during a different fiscal year.
Williams added that Luzny would like to pay his taxes and if
council will buy the books, he will pay his taxes. Walker stated
he understands that, but does not think the City should pay his
tax bill. Luzny stated he was asking council to determine
whether they will honor the agreement made in November.
Clerk Freas stated that she suggested during his visit to her
office in April, that he come back to Council because the taxes
were not paid.
Williams stated that the question is whether to continue the
commitment made in a prior fiscal year or not to continue the
commitment. Williams asked if there was a motion to continue.
There was none. Williams stated to Luzny that the Council was
not willing to continue the commitment.
