TI TS ICATI Manager Willis reviewed Deltak Corporation's request for industrial development revenue bond financing and introduced Denis Csathy, president of Deltak Cowporation, Mr. Csathy explained his present facilities are not adequate for his fast-growing company and do not give him access to railroad transportation which is no!essary to his business. The land in the Reinhard plat would satisfy all his requirements. He explained the nature of the heart recovery systems lie manufactures and the company's potential for growth and their long range plans for the futare. He answered Counr:i1's questions on the company's present sallts figures and financial status. Mayor Hilde reviewed with the Council what the City's exposure would be in this venture, Attorney Lefler stated that the bonds would be secured by a first mortgage on the realty and buildings of the company, Trustees would represent bond holders in financial dealings and if the company were to default on mortgage p/4yments, full faith and credit of the City of Plymouth is not pledged and the general revenues of the City would not be called upon to pay off the bonds. Bond holder.; would have the same rights as any nortgagee in any other real estate trans- action and would be able to liquidate the property, but the City of Plymouth would not be obligiited, Mayor Hilde asked if the 01ty had any indirect exposure. Attorney Lefler replied Oe only way the City could in the least be injured is that we are, in effect, lending the City's credit, but this does not. affect our rating with Mootiy's Investor Service. 37- DELTAK (ORPORATION INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BOND FINANCING Item 64 J n Spedal Councfl Meejing February 17,1976 j Page 38 Wayne Hesterl, DIYI's Kalmar, b Quail, state4 they hada done an extensive study of Deltak,.,Corporation and its management.

A RESODUTION ArPROVING CONDITIONAL; USE PERMIT FOR SUPERIOR FORD TO TEMPORIRILY PARK VEHICLES ON THEIR SITE ON NON -HARD -SURFACED AREA (A-449). Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, fife ayes. Manager Willis reviewed the status of site selection for Water Storsge Reservoir No. 4 and Council's direction from the Council meeting of February 2. He explair;ed that because the property owners of the designated sites refused to let the City take soil borings. it would be necessary for tho City to commence condemna- tion proceedings for the site to ottaic the right to enter upon the property to take the necessary sell borings. TO site selocted is site SP -3 (see Report on Water Storitje Reservoir, Project 605). owned by William Driscoll. Mayor Hilde requested Jim 04on, crns,ulting engineer, to review the feasibility of constructing a grou'hd storage reservoir on one of the selected sites. Mr. Olson illustrated tho difi°erences between the ground sto ige and standpipe systems. He elstimatud the cysts of constructing a round storage system as outlined in the report, but on a similar site, would probably not exceec 10 percent o -'i the cost indicated in the report. However, if the ground storage system was located outside of the designated area as shown in the Water Distribution System Report, dated 1572, the costs fur the lines leadirg into the system would be rtreatly increased and the 0f.6,tiveness of the system could be decreased, substantially.

I Special Co %icil Meeting 6zbruary 1 1976 r Nage 40 l James Lan 1505 Xanthus 1 Ane, representing Ruth Aul t o William Driscoll, s Cargi 1 l KIcKi l lan, Or.. Honry Porter and Dr. Peter Strand, requested on behalf of his const'ltuekie that the inAitution of condemnation proceedings be tabled for 30 dais. They felt it was premature to act in such a drastic manner before a cost.4 nefit analysis had been done. The property owners felt the direction pf Council at the meting on February 2 gave them one month to resolve the,matter and the pr(iperty owner had not been given adequate notice of the institution of proc"dings in eminent domain. They also felt no time would be saved ' a going ahead A th these legal proceedings. Henry Porter, 1605 Xenthus Lane, state+ the need for the water reservoir canes from further development of pres.ntly undeveloped land. He asked Council to take into c uisideratior the: visual effect in the neighborhood when considering the sig and type of structure to be constructed. He felt the alternatives for meeting the City's needs for a water reservoir have not been fully examined. He wondered if, in fact, this reservoir is to be built for the benefit of land yet to be developed, why it must be placed on existing and long-term residential property in a fully develped neighborhood. He asked for the opportunity to work with City officials to explore location of a reservoir closer to the primary beneficiary, which appears to be the Elwell property devevelopment, so that benefits and difficulties may be more clearly matched. He felt it would be an opportunity to build facilities for undeveloped land on undevelrped land. The Mayor explained that this is not a drastic action being taken, but it is taken only beclu.c the property owners would not permit soil borings to be taken to fulfil Council's direction. The eminent domain proceedings are being initiated,in order that the City may be allowed to have access it) get the soil borirgs to determine if this site is feasible for construc- tion of a reser-voir. Attorney Lefler explained that once this legal action was initiated, the Council must take further action to stop or interrupt the proceedings. Assuming that a court, would approve the City's petition, they would then enter an order which would include appointment of commissioners to appraise damage to the property and value of the property being taken and provide the commipsioners with 180 days in which to make these determinations, In order to stop the proceedings, the action must he withdrawn. Mayor Hilde stated `urther that in 1969 the City made a commitment to go into the sewer and water business, replacing individual neighborhood systems and the private N;nneapolis Industrial Park system, to provide c'tizens with better service and fire protection and allow for further commercial and industrial development. In 197 plans were finalized for a City Water Distribution Systs, providing the most efficient dis- tribution on a City-wide basis, In this elan, all the water reservoirs are inter-cnnnected and none operate for the benefit of one particular neighborhood or development. Therefore, we are unable to match the benefits and difficulties of a water reservoir to any particular neigh- borhood, The City has rEceived many cotrulaints about the poor supply and pressure of water to existing residents of Plymouth. In order to provide adequate service to residents, we must add Water Reseovoir No. 4 to the City's Water Distribution System as provided for in the t-,.j,!neering plans. ri 1f hl pec i a l February Page 41 Council Meeting 17, 1976 i NOTION was, made by Councilman Spaeth, seconded by Councilman to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 16-104, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PRO- CEEDINGS'11-N EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE 16AND FOR THE PURPOS;r OF CONSTRUCTING A WATER RESERVOIR. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes. Neils, RESOLU'T INV NO. 76-104 AUTHORIZING A I DOMAIN PROCFcDINGS WATER RESERVOIR NO. 4 There followed a lengthy discussion of the size and cost of a ground reservoir versus the size and added architectural costs in making a standpipe as unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing as pWasible. Manager Willis stated he would report back to Council wife tn„ results of the soil borings as soon as access is available to thl propirty and at that time he would also report. on tho potential treatha'nt of tns, aesthetics of a, standpipe and the cost involved. There was furthe-r discussior on the possibility of locat-ng a grounr: storage facility outside of the designated location shev"i in the k•.ter Distribution Plan. Consulting Engineer Olson commented we had tha technology to place the facility anywhere in the City b',: the crsts would increase.

H: stated Mr. Dris%-;oll and Mr. Ogden declined permission to take soil tuts because they hoped Council would considhr various alternatives, Attorney Lefler replieO that the initial plan was that this matter would come before COLIcil on Karch 8 with so -;l boring results in hand and this resolution is here before Council jImost entirely because Mr, Driscoll and Mr. Olden declined to per,nit the City to take soil borings, If we can take the borings now we would not have to proceed with this action, MOTION was made by Counc lman Him t, sf:onded by Councilman Neila', to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 7i-105, A RES'.iLUTION ADOPTING ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR PLAT 43740, PARC11 820, Motion carried on a Roll C,111 vote, five ayRs, MOTION was mode by Colincilrrmn Hunt, secnnded by Councilman Spaeth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO, /6-1 51 A RESOLUT14ON ORDERING PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT FOR SEWER LIFE STATION AND WATER MAIN CONNEC- TION FROM 3RD 5 QOFENSLAND TO FERNDALE NORTH.
