DAVID JOHNSON ANNEXATION AND IMPROVEMENTS
DAVID JOHNSON and his attorney, Don Raleigh appeared before the City Council
regarding a re- hearing on the proposed annexation of his property to the City
of Stillwater. It was felt by both Mr. Johnson and the City Council that they
should get together to go over precisely how Mr. Johnson wants to finance the
improvements for this project. It was proposed that the City Staff work with
Mr. Johnson and draw up some type of development agreement.
Discuss what improvements are needed and how they will be paid for so that
both parties understand what is happening here. Mr. Johnson assured the Council
that he has adequate security.
It was felt that the City had received no financial proposal from Mr. Johnson
and if he has one he should present it to the City.
Mr. Johnson gave to the City Council a chart and proposal for the bonded
indebtedness for the improvements for this area which is requesting to be
developed and annexed to the City. As it is currently planned there would be
forty homes per year and the total lots are 420 and he would like to get some low
interest money for the development of the golf course.

Mr. Johnson was assured by the Council that they favor hfs project one
hundred percent and they felt that the Council and Mr. Johnson should meet with
Springsfeds, the City's Bonding Consultant on this matter.
MR. MAGNUSON gave the Council some advice regarding this development and
the Subdivision Ordinance which the City has not followed too closely in the
past and he stated that they should have adequate security for these improve-
ments, as if the project fails the taxpayers will have to pay for same and
this is something that the City does not want.
MAYOR JUNRER stated that a meeting should be setup with Springsteds, Mr.
Raleigh, Dave Magnuson and Dave Johnson on how the City should propose to
finance the improvements for this project.
