Elk River city Council Minutes February 17, 1992 Page 3 . Patrick K1aers, City Administrator, reviewed some material that he had distributed to Don Heinzman as background material for an upcoming City Council meeting. The City Administrator provided the same packet of material to each Councilmember. The packet included a summary of Council minutes on site selection, a summary of newspaper articles, copies of the letters between the City of Elk River and Mr. Gospodor and Mr. Gospodor's Attorney, a copy of the Purchase Agreement, Map B-2.1 from the 1991 Parks Master Plan addressing Orono Park, a very preliminary Park Plan for the Gospodor site, a cost summary for the Gospodor land purchase, and a copy of the financing sources for the lease payment including a copy of the debt service payments. There was discussion regarding the February 24 meeting. Mayor Tralle indicated that he would like to start by having Zack Johnson make a presentation to give a historical overview of the site selection process the City has gone through up to the final recommendation. After that, the City Administrator should discuss the Gospodor site negotiations, the building finances, the similarity between the City process, County, and School process, and address the plat and conditional use permit. Zack will then provide information regarding building location and park and recreation plans for the site. The Building and Zoning Department and Planning Commission representative will then be asked to make a presentation and recommendation. . 5.1.
