City Council Meeting Minutes October 6, 2015 Page 5 of 26 Council member Stolzmann wanted an IGA in place to ensure Superior would pay half of the project. City Attorney Light explained the motion included a provision that the contract would not go forward without the Town of Superior agreeing to pay half of the project. Mayor Pro Tem Dalton was comfortable with the provision as outlined by the City Attomey. Council member Stolzmann noted there have been a number of issues raised in the past. It was her expectation that both municipalities would pay for half of the contract this year. Public Works Director Kowar agreed there had been issues before with the underpass, but on this project there has been a high level of confidence in both cities. Council member Loo stated it was not only the underpass; it was also the Town Center. She still did not feel the contract could be approved without an IGA. Mayor Muckle clarified the IGA deals with the future use of the facility and not its construction. Vote: Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by a vote of 5 -2. Council members Loo and Stolzmann voted no.
