lengthy discussion. Assistant General Counsel Susan Grandin explained what the
proposed measures entailed; Stephen Smith of the Planning & Development
Department explained what the proposed mobility fee contracts entailed, as
well. In providing background on the
projects, he explained that they were initiated under the fair share purview. All three projects are interdependent on
the others. Council Member Matt Schellenberg thought that the items
should be deferred for one cycle to give the panel an opportunity to better
understand all of the paperwork and documents, some of which were distributed
in the course of the meeting. Attorney
Steve Diebenow, agent for the developers, reluctantly agreed to a one-cycle
deferral. Addressing a series of questions raised by Council Member
Greg Anderson, Bill Joyce, Public Works Department, explained how bonds
figured into the road construction process; he explained the design-build
concept in the construction of roads, as well. |
