City Council <br /> Special Meeting Minutes <br /> January 14, 2014 <br /> Page 3 of 15 <br /> City Manager Fleming explained the cost of the City Services Facility has increased <br /> primarily because of the enhanced design features required by the CTC Metro Board. <br /> They want to ensure the City's facility will be an asset and fit in with the other buildings <br /> by requiring more decorative fences, additional landscaping and a different exterior. He <br /> noted the price will continue to go up until the City has a guaranteed maximum price for <br /> the facility. The City may want to pursue a partnership with another company to share <br /> facilities or sell a portion of the CTC property. <br /> Council member Stolzmann inquired whether the additional million included the <br /> $250,000 for fiber optic cable. Public Works Director Kowar stated the $250,000 was <br /> for the road work and $25,000 is for fiber optics. <br /> Mayor Pro Tern Dalton inquired about the likelihood of selling a portion of the CTC <br /> property and the likelihood of receiving any financial benefit from the current City <br /> Services Facility. City Manager Fleming felt it was very likely to sell up to three acres of <br /> the CTC property depending on the Council's willingness. With respect to the current <br /> facility, City Manager Fleming estimated the sale had a 50/50 chance. He noted there <br /> have been a couple of interested parties in the current facility. <br /> Forecasts: City Manager Fleming reviewed graphs of the General Fund Forecast Base <br /> Model; Historic Preservation Fund Forecast Base Model; Open Space and Park Fund <br /> Forecast Base Model and the Capital Projects Fund Forecast Base Model and <br /> presented other issues not reflected in forecast. <br /> Other Issues Not Reflected in Forecast <br /> + Potential for Sam's Club retail activity <br /> + Potential large employer moving into vacant Centennial Valley <br /> + Likely turnback of some unexpended CIP funds <br /> + Potential CDBG Grant for flood recovery <br /> + Potential GOCO Grant for trail reconstruction <br /> + Potential to sell some or all of current Shops site <br /> + Contingencies included in CIP Projects <br /> + Potential additional revenue from retail marijuana <br /> Council member Jasiak inquired on the status of the two current medical marijuana <br /> establishments converting to retail marijuana.
