Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the second phase would run from $220,000 to �300,000, depending on when it is done and the best the City could look for was 75i funcling by the Federal and State governments.

Mr. Paulson asked, when both phases are completed, if this would be a permanent solution to the oroblem. Mr Wenck stated he felt, if the land use doesn't change around the lake, it should be good for a long time. � Mayor Nee stated, in the City's ,7udyment, it is a good long-term solut�on as it will reverse the degeneration of the lake and stabilize it, but to say it is an ultimate total solution is probabl;y an overstatement MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize the City to enter into the agreement for pr�fessional services with litckok and Associates, Inc. for the Mor,re Lake �.esto�ation Pro�ect Seconded by Councilwoman Ploses.

Councilman Schneider stated it would seem to him the land use, �f anything, is being protected in its existing natural state. hlr. Qureshi stated the bas�c property use would not change, but it does give f1edtro m c less lot coverage and a variance might be needed in the future. Mr. Hcrrick, City Attorney, stated what Medtron�c wants, as part of the consideration of selling this portion of property to the County, is an agreement from the Ctty that �f, in the future, a variance is neccssary because they wish a greater lot cov�?rage, the City will tal<e into consideration the square footage of the parcel they are selling to the County. He stated there may be the possibility they never will need a variance. He felt, if the Ceuncil has a problem with this concept, now ts the ttme to d�scuss it. Mr Qureshi asked if an agreement could be executed stattng consideration would be given that this land would be coneidered as part of their total lot coveraye. ��Ir Herr�ck felt it would be in the form of a letter or resoultion and Council would probably be asked to take action sometime prior to the time they deed the propert, to the County UPOiJ A VOICF VOTE TAKEN DfJ THE FlBOVE ��10TIOPJ, all voted aye, and Mayor P�ee declared the mot�on carried unanimously.
