July 1, 1981 Park Board Minutes Page 11 • Dahl asked what would happen if the County deviates from the plan 10 years after it was drawn up. How long is the master plan in effect? Anderson said the master plan could not be changed without the three-party consent. All parties have to agree. There is ` no expiration date on master plan. Carlson asked that in 10 years from now if Ramsey County wants to change after everything has been developed, isthere a recourse? Anderson again said that we still have to have all three approvals. Schmidt said that it may be good to have some kind of legal re- course. It°s better to add it if there is a default to have the buy-out provision. It never hurts to negotiate the clause. Carlson said that the City Attorney should word the buy-back option and if feasible, the figure of reimbursement to the City would be at today's figure. Carlson said he would like this renegotiated if there is another joint powers agreement. It could go on for 100 years if .necessary, Gunderman stated he wants to see the motion open ended. . ~ Amendment by Carlson, seconded by Olson, that the Park Board requests that the City Attorney be directed to draft the language for the joint powers agreement that provides for the City to regain control over the Park in the event the County fails to perform its responsi- bilities for providing a "base" level of service whether it is through a lease by City to County with default termination provision, or buy-back provision by City from County, or some other legal form to meet the intent for City control over the park if the County defaults. Amendment passed. Van Hatten stated he was uncomfortable with the 1984 date. Dahl said that is a time to renegotiate, it is not an end, it is a check point. Van Hatten said he would like to remove number 7. It says what we do is null and void. Anderson said that by law a joint powers agreement-must have an expiration date. Anderson said that both Ramsey County and Met Council want the 1984 date in for different reasons. Ramsey County wants-to make sure they have maintenance and operation money available. Met Council has a 5 year policy plan and the 1984 date is the end of the five years. It is not the intention of either party to terminate.
