In September 1993, the City entered into an agreement with Stony Lake for the redevelopment of TIF #2, that area north of Veterans' Park. Phase I is completed and fully occupied. In preparation for Phase II, it was discovered that contaminated soils need to be removed and disposed. Due to possible petroleum vapors rising into the buildings, a soil vapor extraction system will be installed in the crawl spaces beneath the facility. Stony Lake would begin construction this Spring but has requested City participation in unexpected costs due to the contamination. The Phase II expenses include hauling and burning up to 200 yards of contaminated soil and the vapor extraction system. Stony Lake would pay for these expenses, however, the City will subtract from the Phase I note the following: 1) an amount not to exceed $7,000 for hauling and moving expenses for the contaminated soil; 2) an amount not to exceed $31,250 for the installation of the vapor extraction system. If the improvements are constructed in accordance with contract, the balance owed for the land will be $4,000; if not constructed according to contract, the balance owing would be $42,000. Benke asked if these costs would be reimbursable under the Petro Fund. Locke noted that the Phase II improvements would not be reimbursable because the costs are associated with eventual construction on the site. The City's environmental consultant and Stony Lake's consultant have been in contact with the MPCA regarding possible reimbursements. Benke asked if Stony Lake has identified a small sandwich shop for this location. Locke is unaware of potential businesses. Williams asked which buildings would be hooked to this soil extraction system. Locke confirmed that only the two new structures would be affixed to the system. Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON AND STONY LAKE PROPERTIES. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried.
