Louisville City Council Meeting December 21, 2004 Page 6 of 8 Mayor Sisk reported on the draft IGA regarding the Biella Menkick property. Mayor Sisk, City Attorney Light and City Staff met with Superior Mayor Mark Hamilton, the Town Attorney and Superior Staff to discuss the proposed changes to the draft on Thursday, December 16. The major issues still under discussion are as follows: Phasing Plan for Retail Construction; Duration of No Impairment Clause; and Area Covered by No Impairment Clause. He voiced his concern over the duration of no impairment clause and area covered by no impairment clause. Those issues could have an economic impact to the City if Louisville businesses chose to relocate to Superior. Council member Brown reviewed the history of the Biella Menkick Intergovernmental Agreement to share sales tax at a future development site in Superior. He noted the City would proceed in the best interest of the Louisville citizens. UPDATE - LOUISVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY PROJECT Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd updated Council on the Louisville Public Library Project. Staff presented the project plans to the Planning Commission on December 14.

She noted the Xcel utility boxes must be relocated before construction begins. She addressed the shoring of the building, and price estimates. She noted that meetings will be on-going in January with business owners. One item of discussion will be long-term parking. She announced the next Library Steering Committee meeting will be held Wednesday, December 22. Council discussion centered on loss of meeting rooms at the Library; meetings with local businesses; and the next set of cost estimates. Mayor Sisk stressed the importance of the City including the local business owners in the meetings. City Manager Simmons reported there are two pending offers for the existing Library building. The City will contact its realtor to make a counter-proposal. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT City Attorney Light advised Council of a request for public record for police accidents reports through the City Clerk's office. He explained the Police Department is the custodian of police accident reports, and the applicant has instead filed with the City Clerk's Office to obtain those records. The City Clerk denied the request and has referred the applicant to the police department. He noted other jurisdictions have also received such requests from the same individual. He explained that in order to obtain criminal justice records a requestor must sign a document stating the records will not be used for commercial use. No such document is required when filing through the City Clerk's Office. Light informed Council that this matter may be filed in District Court. 6
