Unanimously Cherry Street Industrial Development Project City Engineer Cox reported that planning, design and construction of those public portions of Industrial Park which will be taking • place this year are on a very tight schedule. Environmental Impact Study was developed and has been through the approval stage. He also said that the soil study is an ongoing matter; that part of the study concluded that the site will be graded into certain grades that will be needed in that area, then wait for two years before building due to settlement. City Engineer Cox said it is not practical to try to build on that site this year. The City does have one prospective tenant who is very anxious to get in the Park and he feels confident that the soil settling process can be accelerated in the necessary areas to get some building underway next year. CJI As a result of the soil investigation City Engineer Cox reported that the City's consulting engineers, O'Brien & Gere, are working on the site grading plan and cost estimates. He said he would be going over the mentioned costs with the consultants in the near future and that the schedule now calls for grading the site, which means the need for considerable fill, and probably by road construc- tion, utility construction and maybe occupancy of one of the sites next year. • • City Engineer Cox stated that Planning Department is working with two Federal grants. Common Council has been reluctant to go too far with the Industrial Park project without assurances that the Federal grants are approved. He said that he understood that earlier today ARC had given the City official approval of the grant. The new cost estimates will have to be gone over with the Planning Director to determine whether this project is still economically sound, with the Federal funding, and he mentioned that there are some other questions that will need answering, particularly concerning the cash flow of the job which is important because the project is being spread over a number' of years rather than the anticipated one-year construction program, If it still appears advisable to go ahead, the City Engineer will ask Council, at next ;,peek's meeting, to authorize the bond for the project. There will be a report made to Council at next Wednesday's meeting. If. all goes well, then O'Brien & Gere will be asked to complete the construction documents for site grading plan and the project would hopefully be underway sometime in August.
