Brent Miles, Director of Planning and Economic Development informed the Board that the interchange in Horizons is coming in ahead of schedule and under budget. The next phase is scheduled ;:o begin in two weeks. The same contractor, Radmacher Brothers, will be doing the first phase of Horizons Parkway. It is scheduled to be: completed by November of 2007. The Board of Alderman approved the purchase of Rinker Materials- Hydro Conduit and the City and Rinker are still in the process of finalizing the contract. The price is slightly more than what was budgeted; however, Phase I came in under budget, so the two should equal out. Houston asked if the Rinker building would have to be demolished. Miles replied that it has to be demolished to make room for the road to go through. Finley asked if the agreement between Rinker and the City was an agreeable one for both parties. Miles assured the Board that Rinker has agreed to everything and the City did not have to use eminent domain for this. Houston asked if there would be any space left to build on after construction of the road. Miles replied that there will be enough to accommodate 100,000 to 120,000 square foot building. Also, the boundary for the TIF District included Rinker so when something is constructed there the City will receive the taxes from it. Finley asked if the reason Radmacher Brothers were so low on the bid was because they already had all their equipment in place from the first phase so it would be easier to do the second phase. Miles replied that he wasn't sure that was the reason. He noted that having one contractor doing the whole project would be easier on the City and the contractors. This way if one project is falling behind crews could be moved. Also, more than one contractor in the azea could make things more difficult. Miles also commented that the new sewer and lift station in Horizons should be completed by November 2007 as well. The City is working on selling the 370 acres that it owns. So far there seems to be lots of interest and lots of questions. The sale of this property should be completed in June or July. The next phase of this project will be combined with the 9 Highway improvements and will be bid on in January of 2008. This project will get underway that same year and have to follow MoDOT and federal regulations. Houston asked if developers will be required to construct a certain amount of square footage per year in the Horizons Project. Miles replied that the City expects 100,000 square feet to be constructed in the first year; however, some companies plan to double that. Houston asked if the amount a company would have to build yearly would be in the development agreement. Miles explained that when the City chooses a developer it is taking several things into account, such as, price, how fast they are going to develop and the developer's previous projects and history. There are 38 due diligence packages, which represent about 15 different developers that will be narrowed down to three for the Board of Aldermen to choose from. Houston asked if there was a lot of local interest. Miles replied that it is about split. Houston asked when the developer would be selected by. Miles replied that it would be roughly June 1, 2007 Adjournment Wayne Snyder motioned to adjourn. Archer seconded~a(nd the motion passed 5-0. C~~2f'uZla~l_/~j' Sarah Thompson, ~stant Secretary
