The Mayor requested that everyone stand for the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The Roll of the City Council was called with the following members present: Houchins, Evans, Earl, Nancolas, Langan, and Wells. Absent: none. (RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CALDWELL AND CURT BEUKELMAN AND DEBRA FOSTER) Mayor Winder informed Council that the purpose of the Special Meeting was to consider a proposal that was received from Beukelman and Foster regarding the property located just east of the Simplot Stadium and Gabiola Fields. A copy of the Agreement was included in the City Council's packets along with a Resolution which he read as follows: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CALDWELL AND CURT BEUKELMAN ( "BEUKELMAN") AND DEBRA FOSTER ( "FOSTER "). BE IT RESOLVED That the Mayor and City Clerk of the City of Caldwell be, and the same hereby area, authorized to execute that certain Settlement Agreement attached hereto and made a part hereof as if set forth in full by and between the City of Caldwell and Curt Beukelman ( "Beukelman ") and Debra Foster ( "Foster "). The Mayor further stated that the Agreement stipulates that the City will receive in exchange for the $175,000 cash a total of approximately four acres of ground_ This will be the final resolution of this matter. As Council will recall, their original proposal to the City was that we waive the fees which amounted to approximately $100,000, do about $50,000 worth of work for them and the City ends up with nothing. They came back to the City and offered to sell the City all of the ground for $330,000 and the City does not want all of the ground. The property along Blaine Street would be better left for private development rather than the City owning it. The property immediately adjacent to Gabiola Field provides the City with a vehicle to continue the process. to acquire property that will eventually give the City ownership all the way from 21st Avenue to Linden Street. This will provide an Events Center Complex that can do far more than the City was able to do at the present time. Mayor Winder also mentioned that they indicated that, any settlement would include a provision that the City extend the sewer at the City's cost. This was negotiated out of the Agreement. The Agreement simply stipulates that the City will provide them with an easement to allow them to get City sewer from the back of that property to the f ront . The City Council briefly discussed the matter after which it was MOVED by Earl, SECONDED by Nancolas to pass. the Resolution authorizing the execution of the Settlement Agreement with Beukelman and Foster.
