Salentine-Loughney Subdividers Agreement and Public Improvement Cost Breakdown – Brian
Turk, Wayne Salentine and John Loughney were present to discuss this issue. Brian provided an
amended subdividers agreement. The Committee questioned the wording of “Master Grading Plan”
due to the size of the lots a “Master” plan would not be necessary as long as the developers work with
the City on each lot’s grading plan. Brian was directed to change the word “Master” to just “grading”
plan with each plan being reviewed by the City and the City’s engineering firm on a lot by lot basis.
Wayne Salentine requested that the City Attorney allow wording to accommodate “Tenant Rights” and
suggested the following text be added to the Land Dedication (gifting) section: “Tenant Rights are to
be recognized for the year 2000 crop season only”. The Committee and Mr. Salentine await legal
opinion on this verbiage. Additional discussion on the wording regarding the installation of fencing for
livestock. The Committee and developers agreed that the fencing must be to the rear of the dwelling.
John Loughney requested that the set-backs for his parcels (lots 10-14) be changed from 125 feet to
100 feet. The Letter of Credit for this development is $193,850 which is $3,500 less than the first
figure generated. This change was due to the City Engineering firm changing the requirement of
slurry backfill to road gravel. Wayne also indicated that he has established a 20-foot tile easement
between lots 5 and 6 in order for the City to gain access. Ald. Salentine moved to recommend to
Council the Subdividers Agreement with the requested changes. Seconded by Ald. Sanders.
Carried by all.

be increased by $1,000 and the Police Department’s expenditure account Vest Reimbursement
#100.02.20.01.5227 be increased to $1,000. This is necessary due to the receipt of additional grant

Transfer of Funds – Uniform Account – Chief Johnson reported that his 2000 Budget currently has
only enough funds for one replacement officer. Currently two officers need uniforms and equipment.
