Erickson: Wanted to thank the council and manager Wedel for the trust that was put into her with the public dollars. This is vital to the services we provide as a city. Noted that she has taken the 08 12 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes responsibility seriously as well as all of the finance department.

Resolution 25-120 Approving a Major PUD Amendment for Jeffers Pond 11 Addition (Previous th Jeffers Pond 10 Addition, Outlot A) Community Development Director McCabe Presented the Item Briggs: What are the comments that planning commission commissioner had when the public hear- ing was held. McCabe: Overall planning commission felt the development fit in well. One comment regarding commercial square footage. Paul Robinson: Introduced himself and gave a brief statement on the company. Briggs: Thanked Robinson for bringing commercial growth into the city. The Economic Develop- ment Authority and City Council need mixed use in developments and certainly daycare does ex- actly that. Please give council your perspective on the future building where the required commer- cial square footage has been shifted. Robinson: Explained the difficulties of the building. There is a potential for businesses to want to have their headquarters here or even a healthcare facility. These are all viable options but not the most common. In the meantime, we are keeping the options open to be able to meet the demand of the marketplace. Hopeful that this will happen Briggs: Educate the council on what is the significance to approving the permitted conditions for the future lot if the uses are already allowed in the C2 district. Robinson: Currently zero uses are specified as it is zoned PUD. Getting the uses approved is to avoid one more hurdle in the sale process. Briggs: Any additional hurdles they might face that the city can help with? Robinson: Mentioned Casey and the Staff have been great to work with there are no further hur- dles. Company is looking forward to selling this last piece no matter how long it might take. 08 12 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes MOTION BY LAKE SECOND BY CHURCHILL, A RESOLUTION AMENDING JEFFERS POND TH PUD FOR OUTLOT A, JEFFERS POND 10 ADDITION VOTE Briggs Braid Churchill Lake Hellier Aye ☒ ☐ ☒ ☒ ☒ Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Absent ☐ ☒ ☐ ☐ ☐ The motion carried. 10.
