[1:55] Good morning. This is the recommending
committee for January 20th, 20126. The
[1:59] first item is we are officially called

>> Yes, we are.
[2:06] » Thank you so much. Item number three is

[2:09] portion of the agenda must be limited to

[2:14] we'll move on to item number four for

[2:33] Moving on to item number five, bill
number 20261 for possible action adopts
[2:37] that certain document entitled
development agreement for monumental
[2:41] hills master plan community including
the incorporated monument hills
[2:44] development standards and design
guidelines monument hills parks
[2:48] agreement and other incorporated
elements. This is sponsored by
[2:51] Councilwoman Nancy Brun and I will turn
it over to Mr. Floyd.
[2:56] » Yes, thank you Mayor Prom Seth Floyd for
the record. Um, real quickly, this item,
[3:00] you've seen this before. Uh, you've seen
the development agreement. This is
[3:03] essentially a ministerial step that is
required to adopt an ordinance. But just
[3:07] to give you a quick summary of what
Monument Hills is, it is in located in W
[3:11] 6, uh, 940 acres, about 6,000 units of
housing, a military housing community, a
[3:18] 10acre city park, and a 30 acre parcel
devoted for economic development, a
[3:23] future economic development. And I'm
happy to answer any questions. If not,
[3:27] uh, John Redillis, assistant city
attorney, has a something he'd like to
[3:31] comment on, a clarification or change.
>> I don't have any questions. Are there
[3:35] any up here?
>> Mr. Merilla?
[3:38] » Yes. Uh, council. Um, subject to
discussions with the developer, we
[3:42] thought need some clarification language
regarding the economic development
[3:45] parcel in the timelines for development,
and those changes, very minor, were
[3:49] submitted to the city clerk for the
record.
[3:50] » Can you highlight what those changes
are?
[3:52] » Yes. Um, essentially the city has seven
years to acquire an economic development
[3:58] partner and if during that time the
economic development partner doesn't
[4:01] commence construction within three years
after we negotiate a disposition and
[4:05] development agreement with that economic
development partner, the developer has
[4:09] the opportunity to purchase the property
back from the city at the cost we
[4:12] acquired it from the developer.
>> If I were to summarize that, the city
[4:16] has seven years to find a developer and
then three years to commence
[4:20] development. And if we fail to do that,
then the devel then the master plan
[4:23] community developer can purchase the
property back at this price we sold it
[4:27] for.
>> That's exactly summary.
[4:31] » Are there any questions up here?
>> Hearing and seeing none. It's a public
[4:35] hearing. If anybody would like to
comment, please do so now.
[4:38] Hearing and seeing none, we'll close
comment public comment period and
[4:42] entertain a motion.
>> This is not as popular.
[4:48] » There's a motion. Please vote
[4:53] and post. And that item passes and will
be up for adoption on the January 21st,
[4:57] 2026 city council meeting, which brings
us to item number six, citizen
[5:00] participation. If you'd like to come
forward during this portion of the
[5:02] agenda, please do so now

[5:07] our public comment period and we can
