Hearings:

Mayor Colinas opened discussion regarding the Latecomer's Agreement for the 25^th Ave Sewer Extension. City Planner Flathman gave a brief description of the agreement. City Engineer John Forba explained the issue and answered questions regarding the issue.

Mayor Colinas opened the Public Hearing regarding the Latecomer's Agreement for the 25^th Ave Sewer Extension at 7:27 PM.

Councilmember Gallagher stated that he has property within 300 feet of the effected properties and does anyone have issues with appearance of fairness issues if he participates.

Mark Heffelmire 23030 25^th Ave W, was shown plans that had a stub out running to his home and the developer did not install the stub out. He was then told by the developer that an extension would be put in on 231^st. He is wondering where he stands now on getting a stub out run to his property line.

Nikolai Klimenko 23014 25^th Ave W, feels this is a very late latecomer's agreement. He plans to subdivide his property in the future and feels that this agreement is too late in the process based on the Developer Extension Agreement under 7.7 because the developer has already sold the 3 new properties that were constructed.

Linda Horan 2506 231^st, was concerned that she might get charged additional fees even though she has the stub out already in place through a separate agreement with the developer.

Mayor Colinas closed the Public Hearing at 7:54 PM.

New Business, Petitions, Communications, Application Appeals:

Mayor Colinas asked the Council for their thoughts on moving forward with the Latecomer's Agreement for the 25^th Ave Sewer Extension or if they would like to ask questions to be answered at a future meeting.

Councilmember Thorpe asked if the City is only listening to developers when addressing issues with development within the City of Brier.

Councilmember Steele stated she would prefer to carry it forward because it seems like there are so many things that we don't know and there are so many different answers and people were told different things. She would like to know why changes are being made in the field that are not being communicated to the property owners that will be affected.
