Roll Call: Mayor Jessica Stockamp; Councilmembers: Vern Heidner, Corey Tanner, Tom
Darkenwald and Jason Warehime. Staff: Adam Flaherty, Interim City Administrator/Finance
Director; Ron Wagner, City Engineer; Daniel Licht, City Planner; Kevin Lamson, Street
Operations Manager and Tami Loff, City Clerk. Also present: Mr. and Mrs. Tom Bury.
1. Review Kadler Avenue Feasibility Report.
City Engineer Wagner reviewed the feasibility report for the proposed street utility improvement
for Kadler Avenue (70th Street to 1/2 mile north) which included existing conditions of the road,
project schedule and project cost. There are six benefiting properties and two are owned by the
applicant. He further reviewed assessment options 1, 2 and 3 as outlined in the feasibility
report.
Mr. Tom Bury, Bury Companies, petitioned the City and submitted a $5,000 escrow for the city
to prepare a feasibility report. His company is looking at expanding from Rogers and would like
to build on this site. The applicant reviewed his request. He stated he needs around 12-15 acres
for his facility and is looking to build immediately.
Interim City Administrator/Finance Director Flaherty said this project is not in the CIP. The
options for the upfront project costs would be an internal loan or the City may have to look at
bonds. Stating his recommendation would be to look at a bond in this amount. City Planner
Licht explained the need for light industrial lots. The City Council concurred for City staff to look
at option 2 as a starting point and bring back for discussion at a future meeting.
2. Adjourn.
CM Darkenwald motioned to adjourn. Seconded by Warehime. All in favor. Motion
carried. Adjourned at 10:45 PM.

Tami Loff, City Clerk
