City Council Minutes <br /> April 1, 2024 <br /> Page 3 of 9 <br /> Brad Becklin appears from the EDC Board. He updates saying agenda items 5- <br /> A, B, and C are in limbo for the time being until the rebranding is complete. <br /> A. Hwy 371 Sign <br /> Discussion ensues on what the goals of this project are. The intention right <br /> now is to have Council Members choose from two designs as something to <br /> put on the billboard now and update it when branding is complete, without so <br /> much pressure on time. Mayor Gardner directs everyone's attention to the <br /> two examples presented. There is a consensus among all Council Members <br /> to go with the second option that says"welcome." <br /> B. HOTGL Facilities Packet, Feedback Request <br /> Council Members review the packet that was provided and agree with the <br /> direction everything is headed regarding proposed future of the athletic fields <br /> for the school. Discussion ensues regarding the forfeited property in that <br /> area. Ms. Duus states she contacted the County and they said that we are <br /> not able to purchase it now but if we ever want to use it, we will have to apply <br /> for an easement. If we applied for an easement and the property did come up <br /> for sale, we would be the first ones to know about it. <br /> C. EDC Website Updates <br /> Working with BLAEDC on ideas to move forward in the process. <br /> D. Trailside Estate Proposals <br /> Discussion ensues regarding the two letters of interest and the proposed <br /> purchase agreement presented tonight. Mayor Gardner states the outcome is <br /> quite similar on each proposal. All intend for it to be workforce affordable <br /> housing. <br /> Kyle Narveson comes forward to discuss his proposed purchase agreement. <br /> This purchase agreement would be purchasing all the property, as-is. Council <br /> Member Pederson brings to attention the fact that this property plat was not <br /> correctly recorded with the County and confirms that Mr. Narveson is aware <br /> of the issue. Mr. Narveson says their intentions are to initiate a discussion of <br /> how this could look in the end either through a committee or special meeting, <br /> etc. He states they are open to working with them either way. How it was <br /> previously recorded or how it was planned to be recorded. <br /> Mayor Gardner states we need to figure out where to go from here. Council <br /> Member Pederson agrees that we need to study the options. Discussion <br /> ensues on developing a committee to head this up. Ms. Duus adds our <br /> attorney has given guidance on the options we could look at including direct <br /> negotiations, etc. A committee is formed of Mayor Gardner, Council Member <br /> Pederson, Angie Duus, Traci Pederson, and an EDC member. <br />
