#3. RE: Hartland Apartment Project.
ACTION: The item to consider and adopt a motion indicating that the City will not waive the building permit fees for the Hartland Apartment Project was pulled from the agenda.
Councilmember Fonnesbeck moved and Councilmember Mabey seconded to authorize a reduction by $41,000 of loan recapture funds on the first payment on the HDG for the Hartland Apartment Project, and direct the City Attorney to prepare necessary documents as required, which motion carried, all members voting aye.
Councilmember Fonnesbeck moved and Councilmember Whitehead seconded to approve an in-kind contribution by the City to be used for a pump station required at the site of the Hartland Apartment Project of approximately 66% of the cost of the station, total cost of the station not to exceed $55,000 and that the City approve the use of $55,000 from Fiscal Year 1985-86 Community Development Block Grant Funds Slippage to be finalized at the next Fiscal Year 1985-86 budget opening, which motion carried, all members voting aye.
DISCUSSION: John Hiskey, economic development director, explained that as a requested substitution for a waiver of the building fee, the developer must come forth with the full building-permit-fee payment to the City; then at such future time as the HDG repayments are made, the City will reduce repayments by $41,000. This is in consideration for the enhancement the City is giving the low-income units. He also said that in an effort to promote the project the City will assume responsibility for maintaining and operating the pump project.
