����CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION
MARCH 2, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a closed executive session of the
Rosemount Port Authority was duly held on Tuesday, March 2, 1993 at 5:36
p.m. in the Council Lounge of City Hall, 2875 - 145th Street West.
Chairperson Dunn called the session to order with Commissioners Anderson,
Carroll, Edwards, McMenomy, and Sinnwell present. Also present were
Attorney David Allgeyer, Lindquist and Vennum, Executive Director Jilk, and
Economic Development Coordinator Miller.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the report from West Suburban
Mediation Service in regard to A and G Autobody's mediation session held on
Friday, February 26, 1993. Because litigation had been threatened and the
members were seeking legal advice, the session was closed. Discussion
ensued regarding the report's two recommendations which were; 1) pay no
more than the $20,000 maximum relocation payment, or 2) pay $17,388 more
than the previously approved $20,000 based on the written note from Lee
Smith, a Dakota County HRA employee, under contract to the Port Authority.
In regard to the written note from Lee Smith, Attorney Allgeyer explained
that he did not feel that it was an enforceable contract because the
Halberts had not accepted it, and in fact, requested more than the $37,388.
Allgeyer further explained that the Port Authority had the authority to pay
additional benefits if they chose, but he advised that they would be
breaking their own policy of approving a maximum payment of $20,000.
Allgeyer recommended paying only the maximum relocation payment of $20,000.
The closed executive session adjourned at 5:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Deborah Widstrom
Recording Secretary
