There was a discussion of how costs for the road would be assessed and how much work to do on a temporary basis. Mayor Hilde summarized the conclusions of the Council as follows: 1) the condition of the road is deplorable; 2) the road has an access problem now and will be impassable in the winter; 3) the improvement of 49th Avenue will improve the situation; <<nd 4) in view of the above, Council must determine when a penaanent road will be built. Council agreed Larch Lane should be constructed now if the alignmc.t problem could be solved. There was a discussion of the need for gravel street improve- ments at this time for Vicksburg Lane north of County Road 9 to County Road 47 and Dunkirk Lane south of County Road 9 to T.H. 55. Councilman Spaeth stated Vicksburg Lane should be improved to the point there would be some north -south access to northeast Plymouth for police and fire protection. Councilman Hunt felt there was a tremendous access problem with numerous driveways on the road and was not in favor of moving ahead with a permanent road until this problem is resolved. Councilman Neils stated MSA funds would not be available for this project in the next five years. Coin-.ilman Hunt questioned if the project could be financed by bonding against future MSA fu:ids as Zachary Lane and West Medicine Lake Road were financed. Councilman Seibold stated he felt we should move anead w;th the improvement of Vicksburg Lane now. MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Councilman Spaeth, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 77-593, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GRADING AND GRAVELLING OF LARCH LANE NORTH OF COUNTY ROAD 9 TO 45TH AVENUE AND DUNKIRK LANE SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 9 TO T.N. 55 FOR AN APPROXIMATE COST OF 80000.

Councilman Hunt stated his key concerns were 1) the ratio of capital equipment to land and structure covered by the bonds and 2) amount of petitioner's capital investment. Mayor Hilde stated the Aisk ,,,gas already been evaluated by the bonding companies and the Cite should not demand an excessiv(.1 amount of additional financial data, He also stated since Minnesota is losing a great amount of business to other states, Plymouth should offer incentives to encourage businesses to locate here and also compete with neighboring communities for business in Plymouth to suprort the investments the City has made to encourage coinnercial/industrial development. Councilman Neils stated industrial re-renue bonds are not pug to proper use by financing businesses who can get financing through traditional borrowing. We must be careful of the degree to wh-rh we extend anproval of municipal revenue bonds on the single issue of offsetting the disadvantages the State of Minnesota offers. Tt is important that we use municipal revenue bonds to attract the types of industries that would not come here in greats numbers without incentive and that we purse? a conservative attitude on this to assure we do not have my defaulted bonds wit Plymouth's nanr-. He felt a proper purpose for the!;e bona; wruld be to help a businesswhi;h has been in Plymouth fl)r years t, expand. 241- MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOND POLICY REVIEW Item 7-C Regular Council Meeting October 17, 1977 F ige 242 Councilman Seibold stated the Council must base a decision on whether to issue bonds on the company's financial stability.
