City Council Meeting Minutes January 7, 2014 Page 5 of 22 Building Permit-Fee Rebate $1,000 Building Use Tax Rebate 700 Consumer Use/Sales Tax Rebate 13,000 Total Proposed Assistance $ 14,700 Staff estimates Xetawave will generate new revenue of approximately $3,500 from building permit fees and construction use taxes directly to the City in the first year of operation, given an investment of $80,000 of core and shell and tenant finish costs. Approximately $200 of that amount is fees designated for Open Space and Historic Preservation purposes. APPLICANT PRESENTATION Jonathan Sawyer, Founder and CEO of the Company, started a number of companies in Boulder. Xetawave serves several industries, including oil and gas, water, waste water, solar, utilities, traffic, and the military. He noted many of their clients do fracking and urged Council to not consider any anti-f racking ordinances. COUNCIL COMMENTS Council member Jasiak noted a newspaper article reported Xetawave had chosen to locate in Broomfield. Mr. Sawyer explained the building in Broomfield had changed owners, which complicated the sale of the building. They had considered a building in Lafayette, however with their adoption of an anti-f racking ordinance, they decided against the site. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 1, Series 2014, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Dalton. Roll call vote was taken. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. APPROVE PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND DEIGN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FOR COAL CREEK GOLF COURSE DISASTER RECOVERY PROJECT Mayor Muckle requested a staff presentation. Parks and Recreation Director Stevens explained the pre-construction and design development services agreement with Landscapes Unlimited, LLC (LU) will begin the development of a Coal Creek Golf Course Disaster Recovery Program. At an earlier City Council meeting, $5,000 was authorized to initiate the process. This process must continue with Landscapes Unlimited in order to present a construction services agreement to the City Council in February. Information will be gathered to guarantee the City is eligible for reimbursement from FEMA and staff will work with the Golf Course Advisory Board on the improvement process above and beyond what was characterized as flood recovery cost for the project. The contract would provide the cost of reconstruction and outline the mitigation for improvements to the golf course.
