6:00 -The Yacht Club: Mixed Use Proposal from Potential Buyer
Kelly Olson, a potential buyer for The Yacht Club, provided a reimagined rendering for a mixed-use ap-
plication for The Yacht Club property. Discussion was had. City Planner Brixius stated that the park-
ing would need to align with the proposed new uses and the dock slips would remain as they are cur-
rently zoned and at this point,they are simply looking for agreement from the Council that they would
be interested in moving this forward. All Council Members were in agreement that while there are
challenges to address,they thought it was a great idea and it should be moved forward with the City
Planner. Mayor Rockvam suggested Kelly and Al get together and address all compliance issues, park-
ing,handicap accessibility, LMCD, etc. and come back to the Council with their findings and plans for
next steps.
6:15 - Black Lake Road and West Arm West: Status Update on ROW Agreements
City Engineer Nielson brought the Council up to speed on the status of the Right-of-Entry agreements
on Black Lake Road. All but 2 agreements have been signed - one we don't need and the other we only
need a utility easement. If we can't get that,we will move the utilities into the street portion.
Regarding the undergrounding,we need to relocatel4 overhead services. Of the 14, nine homes al-
ready have been undergrounded so there will be no cost to those residents. Nielson asked if the cost
for homes that are not undergrounded will be assessed. The Council stated the City is not going to as-
sess for these costs. Mayor Rockvam added that he would like to ensure that the Laker/Pioneer pub-
lish the road construction projects as he would like folks to know that the City will not be assessing
residents for the undergrounding. Regarding West Arm West, Nielson sent out a survey for under-
grounding-all property owners were in favor except 2. Bickman was one and Rich was the other one
and their power is already underground. Nielson stated there are 9 properties that need under-
grounding and 5 of them are Bickman's. Xcel Energy will be instructed to move forward with the un-
dergrounding project.
6:35 - Refunding Resolution: Draft
Brimeyer gave the Council a draft copy of the Refunding Resolution and brought forward the City's fi-
nancial situation and tight cash flow due to paying cash for the road reconstruction projects and the
delay that occurred with the filing for the MN PFA grant. Discussion was had. Brimeyer stated the
$1.5M grant application was in process and advised what costs were included in the submission.
