John Sherbon, 1715 Robin Road, questioned if the process can continue if the Legion's agreement is not complete. Mayor Hart explained that, contractually, the Legion had to meet some completion requirements to be compliant and staff has gone above and beyond to see that they meet those requirements and, when they are substantially complete, council will make a decision regarding their receipt of any portion of those funds.

Roll -call vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. Mr. Lind questioned if the acquisition contract had a condemnation clause and if the city offered any kind of relocation assistance.

Dave Zellhoefer, City Attorney, explained that this is a contract with KWWL and not with the American Legion. He went on to say that the City has a legal obligation to fulfill the contract and failing to do so would be a breach of promise and a direct violation of that contract. Aric Schroeder, City Planner, explained that KWWL has requested this be expedited to allow them to move forward with other matters associated with this redevelopment project. Mayor Hart asked if the council had the power to make an amendment to the original agreement by offering an early payment of the final amount to the American Legion. Aric Schroeder confirmed that council did indeed have that power and the amendment would simply need to be added to a future council agenda. Mayor Hart addressed Mr. Lind telling him that, if it was his desire to issue final payment to the American Legion without regard to level of completion, the power to do so remains with council. He went on to remind him that the Legion is not at this time substantially complete and a decision to issue that final payment would be going against the original agreement. Mr. Lind withdrew his motion. Mr. Schmitt asked for clarification that the American Legion has nothing to do with this sale and conveyance.

Mayor Hart asked for clarification on the portions of property going toward the cemetery and the property associated with new apartments in that area. Noel Anderson explained that the cemetery sold the land to the developer which will eventually result in additional property tax revenue for the city.

Noel Anderson explained that TIF incentives vary from project to project and the city works with the developers as they bring new projects in for potential incentives. He reminded council that the incentives are designed to develop property on which the city is currently collecting little or no taxes due to its vacancy. He then stated that there are always benefits to the entire city in conjunction with the development of these TIF districts. Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, questioned the type of TIF District associated with this item. He asked if the timing is right to have some TIF funds put back into the general fund.
