REPORTS Mayor Boyle: 1) The annual Tree Lighting will take place at City Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 4, and everyone is invited to attend. 2) Before Council tonight is legislation providing for a tax abatement agreement with Schirmer Construction Company and a tax sharing agreement with the schools. Schirmer's purchase of property in the industrial park will basically fill up the park. 3) He has been negotiating with Mr. Farver on the purchase of 9 3/4 acres of property on the north side of Bradley Road, west of the soccer field parking lot. The city hopes to convert this into recreation property since there is a need for more ball diamonds and soccer fields. 4) There are two proposals currently before the city to build senior housing complexes. One of the holdups is the issue of sewer tap-in fees. Projecting the cost of the tap-ins over the number of units in a complex brings the price up considerably--more than any of our neighboring communities. He would like Council to look into this matter because he feels the costs are prohibitive. Law Director Gareau: 1) As previously announced, Mr. Fattlar has filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. The city will submit a brief by December 12. ,,,,.,.
