This pond was being built in phases and it was allowed for Woodman Heights Metro District to apply for reimbursement on a phase by phase basis. This will be the final one that they request. Jeff Johnson confirmed that the reimbursement request was for the $506,700.04. No further discussion. Motion by Mike Bartusek to approve the reimbursement for $506,700.04 for Item No. 3 Motion was seconded by Emily Skalsky Motion passed unanimously 6-0 Item 4: Westcreek at Wolf Ranch ( Tom Bonifas informed the Drainage Board that this item has two issues. It relates to a pond in the Westcreek at Wolf Ranch. In the Approval of this item would approve the fee increase and the reimbursement for the facility component of Pond E. Cottonwood Creek does not have a separate pond facility or pond land fee calculation separate from the drainage component so as a result, any ponds that are built within that basin would be reimbursable out of the drainage basin fee structure. In this case, it would be a credit back to the developer. Ollie Watts wanted to confirm that roughly half of the reimbursement is a land fee. Mr. Bonifas did confirm that this is the case due to the fact that in Cottonwood Creek there is not a separate land component but the costs are factored into the basin fee structure. Mike Bartusek wanted to know if the fee will increase beyond the $12,000 in a new study of this basin. Mr. Bonifas stated that it most likely will increase when the new study is conducted. No further discussion. Motion by Emily Skalsky to approve an increase to the Cottonwood Creek Drainage Basin to a total of $12,137 per acre and approve a reimbursement request to Development Management, Inc. from the Cottonwood Creek Drainage Fund due to construction of public drainage facilities and land for Westcreek at Wolf Ranch Pond E in the amount of $492,898.32 After the motion was made, Tom Bonifas pointed out an error in the amount. The correct amount is $492,878.32 Emily Skalsky amended the previous motion to correct the amount of reimbursement to $492,878.32 Motion was seconded by Mike Bartusek Motion passed unanimously 6-0 Item 5: Housekeeping No Housekeeping items No further business Meeting adjourned at 3:15 p.m. |
