2.
Review and Approval of Development Agreements for Annexation Area Trunk Utilities.
City Attorney Magnuson presented a fmal Development Agreement proposed for the
construction of the trunk utilities to serve the first phase of development in the annexation
area. The Agreement has been provisionally signed by Pemtom Land Company and
Contractor Property Developers Company (CPDC) on Tuesday, March 23,1998.
The developers have expressed concern that the soft costs have been understated in the
Agreement. The developers would also like to include a general provision that any other
associated financing costs such as loan discount fees and attorneys' fees associated with
the Development Agreement be included in these costs.
Homer Tompkins (CPDC) questioned the difference in benefits and credits, stating some
of the amount of borrowing is attributable to services that benefit others. He stated they
are willing to pay their pro-rata share. His concern was with the interest calculations.
(Councilmember Bealka arrived at 5:25 p.m.)
Discussion followed. Council directed staff to continue working with the developers to
work out discrepancies and return with a fmal agreement.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to continue the
