He explained the Biella/Menkick IGA amendment is a comprehensive land development IGA and requires a 15-day notice. The McCaslin Interchange IGA is a funding IGA and does not have any land development issues and would not require a 15-day notice. Mayor Sisk reported he has requested published notice on any Special Review Use. City Manager Simmons reviewed the McCaslin Interchange Intergovernmental Agreement with the Town of Superior and stressed Staff's desire to move forward with the agreement. He stated if the Biella/Menkick IGA amendment is not urgent, the process for the McCaslin Interchange IGA would be simplified. He noted there are a number of issues in the Superior proposed draft to be resolved, including third party decision maker, liability language and other technical issues. He voiced certainty that the issues can be resolved. He distributed the Town of Superior's proposed project cost to be shared by both communities. He stated Staff does not agree with the administrative staffing cost of $317, 231, and noted such fees were not apart of the original 5 Million dollars spent on the interchange in the late 70's. COUNCIL DISCUSSION: Mayor Sisk did not agree with the fees associated with the Superior Town Attorney, the administrative staffing costs, the First Bank Card, the 1999 or the 2000 expenses. He noted the City of Louisville has not charged for any of Staff's time. Council members Marsella and Clabots concurred. Council member Van Pelt suggested that all the City's cost should be included in the project estimation. She stated there should be justification for the project costs. Council member Keany voiced his desire to be fair and equitable. Council member Brown stated he did not want to jeopardize the project, but would like to see justification for the project costs. Mayor Sisk voiced his belief the issues can be resolved and the project will go forward.
