SPECIAL MEETING
March 11, 1996
7:30 p.m.
The Meeting was called to order by Mayor Winder.
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.
