property. Community Development Block Grant funds can be used for the acquisition. No relocation expenses will be incurred because the property is vacant. Once acquired, the site would
be cleared and held for future redevelopment activity. Approval of this resolution will permit permit City staff to obtain an appraisal and start the acquisition process. Motion by Matze,
seconded by Hintz, to approve Res. 03-11 regarding the determination of necessity to acquire the property at 126 W. 9th Ave. Motion carried 5-0. Marion Rd./Pearl Ave. Redevelopment Area
Phase II Development Guidelines Mr. Kinney distributed draft development guidelines noting that an urban type development can be achieved based on these proposed guidelines. The City
will begin work on undergrounding of utilities this Fall, with new street construction work occurring in 2004. All redevelopment along the riverfront will supply a permanent easement
for walkway development. Mr. Kinney noted that additional remediation work is required, with the work to occur hand in hand with new development. Mr. Kinney noted that the City would,
as it did in the Phase I Area, pursue Certificates of Completion from the Department of Natural Resources for remediation work under the State’s Voluntary Party Liability Exemption Program.
Motion by Bermingham to accept the guidelines and proceed with requesting proposals. Seconded by Belter. Motion carried 5-0. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at
approximately 4:45 pm. Respectfully submitted, Jackson R. Kinney Executive Director
