EDC Minutes <br />January 16, 2024 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />currently no date/info for another levy. 2"d, they've already implemented most of the <br />mandates within the READ Act, which is one of the largest unfunded mandates — it's a <br />good program for kids and they've already seen great results. 3rd, Strategic planning <br />continues with their staff. <br />Chair Lottman thanked him for showing up monthly, wanted to make sure it was worth <br />this time to continue to attend. Kurt said yes, absolutely! <br />6. Chamber Update <br />Not present this month, no updates. <br />7 City Council Update <br />Council Member Scott Pederson present to provide updates. <br />He stated the Council is looking for recommendations from the EDC on a few <br />things. One being the 371 faded Billboard — what would the EDC like to see on <br />the board. The other topic is Trailside Estates — what would the EDC like to <br />recommend to the Council on this property, what should happen with it and how? <br />Finally, what are your thoughts on HOTGL? Since EDC cannot officially make <br />the decision, we're looking for you to provide the recommendations to the <br />Council on these topics. <br />Scott gave a quick update on the NW Corner Study — there's going to be a <br />presentation from Widseth in February at the Council meeting on their findings <br />from the study. This is just informational for the EDC to be aware. Nothing for <br />you to do, just letting you know about it. <br />8. Marketinq <br />Trailside Estates: Realtors present for this conversation. Chair Lottman asked <br />Scott Pederson to assist as needed with some of the history/language as <br />needed. Both the current plat and the proposed final plat (which was never <br />recorded) were provided for all to view. This is a time for the Realtors to listen <br />and ask questions on this topic in the event the EDC decides to recommend a <br />realtor to the Council to work on selling/marketing these lots. The idea is the <br />proposed final plat will be recorded within the next few months. City owns this <br />land, but we don't want to. The city would like to move on this property/sale soon. <br />Commission Hallan asked what is the market looking for — what we have <br />proposed with this final plat now, or do we need to revise things before recording <br />it as is? Scott stated there's no need to backtrack, we can move on the final plat <br />as it is proposed today. <br />Scott stated there's city water/sewer already out there for the lots. The City <br />doesn't have a set price in mind, we're looking to realtors to provide us what you <br />think it should be/could be. <br />
