PRESENT: Mayor Branning; Councilmembers Goodwin, Holton and Humphrey. ABSENT: Councilmember Savanick City staff members present were: City Administrator Melena, City Clerk Mueller, Finance Director Ballenger, City Engineer Gordon, Public Works Director Gretz, City Planner Kelley, Community Development Director Welsch. Mayor Branning called the meeting to order at 12:00 noon. The Council received a memo dated October 17, 1989, from the Public WIRSBO BUILDING Works Director concerning the Wirsbo project. Mr. Melena advised the BUILDING PERMIT Council that Wirsbo's contractor has continued construction work on the building but the building permit fees have not been paid. In addition, this puts them in violation of the tax increment financing agreement. They have been sent notice of this by the City Attorney. He recommends the Council authorize an order to stop work on the project effective October 20, 1989, unless the fees are paid. Mayor Branning asked how the City can communicate directly with the company rather than their attorney? The City has an agreement with them and they are not following through. Mr. Melena said, at this point, Wirsbos attorney has been acting as the agent for the company and refusing to pay. Councilmember Humphrey suggested that a courtesy call from the Mayor to the chief executive of the company, advising them of the situation, would probably be appropriate. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Holton, ordering all construction WIRSBO STOP work on the Wirsbo project at 5925 West 148th Street, to stop WORK ORDER at 12:00 noon on October 20, 1989, unless the building permit fees in the amount of $47,410.37 have been paid and further directing the Mayor to communicate this information to the chief executive of Wirsbo.
