City Council Meeting Minutes September 6, 2005 Page 17 of 18 Council member Brown commented the lowest bid may not be the most effective way to proceed. He stressed the importance of having a company who understands the vision the City has for the Web Site. Council member Keany stated the Committee had not decided on the lowest bidder. He suggested continuing this matter to the next meeting. Mayor Sisk requested the Business Retention Committee meet and come before Council on the September 20, 2005 meeting with a recommendation. APPROVAL OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT REGARDING THE COAL CREEK CEMETERY WITH THE CITY OF LAFAYETTE Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. City Manager Simmons reported the City of Lafayette, owner of the Coal Creek Memorial Cemetery located west of the Louisville Cemetery, is in need of a reliable source of water to irrigate and maintain the cemetery. Irrigation for the cemetery has been available by some 14 shares of Goodhue Ditch Water and a small ground water well. Both Cities wish to fulfill the interests of each other by exchanging a Louisville municipal water tap for land that Lafayette has determined to be in excess of that necessary to operate and maintain the cemetery, along with other considerations including the payment of a sum of money and the transfer to Louisville of the 14 shares of Goodhue Ditch Water. The Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) sets out the terms and provisions of the exchange of land for a municipal water service tap. Lafayette will convey 134,475 square feet of land (3.087 acres) for a two-inch (2") municipal water tap for the purpose of irrigating the cemetery. Louisville will also receive Goodhue Ditch shares and $19,925, which represents a single-family residential water tap fee. The fair market value of the water tap and the excess land are similar. The land to be conveyed to Louisville abuts the City's tree branch recycling land. The IGA sets out the framework for this transaction and the parties agree to execute all documents and instruments to effect and accommodate the agreement. MOTION: Council member Brown moved to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement regarding the Coal Creek Cemetery with the City of Lafayette, seconded by Council member Marsella. All in favor. Absent: Council member Levihn. UPDATE - LIBRARY PROJECT Deputy City Manager Boyd reported that Front Street will be closed to Walnut as part of the Library Project.
