City Council Minutes May 2. 1988 e 7.4. Developer Requirements and Impact Fees The Mayor indicated that a preliminary plat that will be before the City Council in May has an additional subdivision requirement placed upon the developers. This new requirement calls for the placement of funds into escrow for the sealcoating that is needed shortly after the streets are constructed. It was noted that the first seal coat is required within two years of construction of streets. while follow up sealcoating is needed every five to six years. In this manner, the developer is paying for part of the cost of a subdivision without the City taxpayers paying for a maintenance cost in a new development shortly after the development is approved. The Mayor also indicated that currently the only impact fee charged to developers is for park dedication. With a plat that will be before the City Council in May the Staff is also requesting impact fees for road improvement which a plat uses as it's entrance and exit for its development. The staff is still working on an appropriate formula. but it is definitely the recommendation of the Staff that the developer or development pay a larger, disproportionate share of the improvement to the immediate street where the plat exits. Again. in this manner, the development is paying for associated needed improvements and not the general taxpayers. e 7.5. City Administrator Employment Agreement General discussion took place between Councilmembers regarding the need for a City Administrator Employment Agreement for the benefit of both the City and the City Administrator. Mayor Gunkel brought a typo in Item 9 to the City Administrator's attention and requested that within Item 3.A. that a statement be added indicating that in no case shall severance pay exceed the one year base pay of the City Administrator. Also under Item 3.C. that the resignation notice from the City Administrator be changed from 30 to 45 days. The City Administrator indicated that the Employment Agreement standard in the profession and that many of the terms and conditions listed in the Employment Agreement are taken directly from Resolution 86-12, which was approved when the City Administrator was hired. Additionally, most of the language comes from the International City Management Assoication (ICMA) booklet on Employment Agreements. Furthermore. the City Attorney, has reviewed the agreement.
