that needs to be added to his report in the future. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr questioned whether there were any options still available since the <br />contract had already been signed without review by either the City Attorney or <br />Council? Mr. Wilson informed Ms. Carr that this was the same agreement that <br />had been utilized for the golf course, Flynn Park and many other projects, so it <br />has already been agreed to in the past. Ms. Carr stated that it was her opinion <br />that Council should have had the opportunity to decide or at least have a <br />discussion as to whether this body as a whole no longer wanted to sign off on <br />each project. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow questioned why this agreement was even coming before Council if it <br />had previously been implemented for the golf course and Millar Park. Mr. <br />Wilson explained that the agreements for the golf course and Millar Park were <br />individual agreements that did not fall under the Blanket Agreement since it had <br />not been initiated. Mr. Crow stated that while he understood everyone’s <br />perspective, and that the agreement had already been signed, it would seem to <br />make sense to have the City Attorney review it. Mr. Wilson stated that what <br />MSD is saying is that since the City has entered into this agreement on <br />previous occasions would now be eligible to participate in a Blanket Agreement <br />whereby the City will no longer have to come back to MSD and obtain approval <br />every time it creates a detention basin or a stormwater protection device. Mr. <br />Crow stated that while his assumption is that the separate agreements for the <br />golf course and Flynn Park had been reviewed by the City Attorney, he would <br />have a greater comfort level if the City Attorney also took a look at the Blanket <br />Agreement. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr asked Mr. Walker for guidance on how Council should proceed with <br />an item that had been brought to their attention after the fact. She stated that <br />although Council may have agreed on Millar Park, this Blanket Agreement <br />which suggests that Council will no longer review future projects had not been <br />brought to their attention. Mr. Walker stated that as he had indicated in his <br />earlier remarks this is not the first time that they have had a discussion on <br />Council decisions versus Administrative decisions, so he did not believe that <br />this was an issue that could be resolved this evening. He stated that while he <br />could have the City Attorney take a look at it, the agreement has already been <br />signed and all it represents is the same type of agreement that has been used <br />in other cases. Mr. Walker stated that if Council wished to see every <br />agreement then he would not have any difficultly in doing so, however such a <br />decision would bog down city staff and intensify the question of where the line <br />is drawn between staff and Council responsibilities. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft asked Mr. Wilson if his understanding of the purpose of the Blanket <br />Agreement was correct; previously the City had to get a permit every time it <br />wanted to do a stormwater project, and all this agreement said that if the City <br />promised to take care of its stormwater projects then they no longer have to go <br />through the permit process every time? Mr. Wilson stated that that was correct. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked Mr. Walker if he had agreed to have the document reviewed by <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
