questioned who would own the fiber. Ms. Lindquist stated the installer would own it as part of their
system. Commissioner Wolf questioned if the turn lane off of Highway 3 was the City's obligation
to pay. Ms. Lindquist stated that her understanding was it would be the City's obligation.
Commissioner Demuth questioned if neighbors would be notified of the changes to the TIF
District. Ms. Lindquist stated no as it was not required by law and there is no impact to them. The
properties are being included in the Project Area but are not going into the TIF District and
therefore their taxes continue to go to the various governmental agencies and not into the TIF
district. Commissioner Demuth also questioned the installation and timing of the sewer line. Ms.
Lindquist explained that the sewer line would be rerouted and shifted from the center of the
property prior to construction of the CDA senior housing project,but would be located to not
