City Council Minutes October 21, 2019 Page 6 Mayor Dietz asked if the city stuck with the R1B standards how many lots could fit on this piece. Mr. Leeseberg estimated 27 lots might fit. City Attorney Beck stated it could be required to make the connection of the right of way road which is part of the Gateway Church property. The Council determined the property should remain zoned at R1B. Mr. Peterson asked the council if they would be willing to consider 65 -foot lot widths. The Council stated they would evaluate a new drawing with the 65 -foot lot widths. 9.2 Multipurpose Facility Advertising and Naming Rights Consultant Mr. Hecker presented the staff report. The Council was curious how much money could potentially be obtained from naming rights. They questioned whether it was too late in the construction process to address this. Mr. Hecker was advised it was not too late to look into naming rights. Councilmember Wagner felt there were many opportunities to have revenue coming in to the facility and the public expects the city to find ways to help with the cost. Mr. Hecker agreed but said none of the Parks and Recreation staff had the expertise or the capacity to look into obtaining naming rights funding. Council wished to know an approximate cost for a consultant. They felt a professional may have a better chance of getting more money in advertising and assumed local businesses would be approached first. Councilmember Westgaard asked if the two ball fields being constructed at Lion John Weicht Park would be included in a proposal. Council felt the money to pay for a consultant could come from the arena fund balance. They agreed there should be some expectation that the person hired as a consultant would guarantee a certain return on investment. Council requested creating an RFP and including advertising for the fields at Lion John Weicht Park as a line item. 10. Adjournment p 0 9 1 R E O L 1 NATURE
