C. Approve Contract Renewal for Assessing Services with Southwest
Assessing
Anderson recused himself from this item.
Mitchell stated that he was interested to see the methodology, contract and percentage
increase, which relates to the number of houses and values. He suggested that the
financial staff review this chart to determine if an additional marker should be included.
Pederson asked and received confirmation that the increase would be five percent and
stated that he would be opposed to that increase. He believed that all contractors
should be paid a similar amount.
Johnson stated that staff worked with the consultant in 2014 to decrease the increase
from 10 percent to 4 percent with the understanding that an additional increase would be
given the following year. He noted that the number of homes in the City and other
State/County mandates have increased for the Assessor.
Pederson stated that he would like staff to determine if that increase could be lowered.
Martin referenced the table, which provides the increases over the past few years, noting
that an increase in the number of homes could cause an increase in fee. She noted that
over the past few years there was a 20 percent increase in the number of homes while
the fee increase would only equal 11 percent over those same years.
Moved by Cousineau, seconded by Martin, to approve the contract renewal for
assessing services with Southwest Assessing. Motion passed 3-1 (Pederson
opposed).

Aaron Amic, applicant, stated that he and his wife operate the Plymouth Goddard School
and have since 2007. He explained that the Goddard School is a franchise which is
individually owned and operated. He stated that following the Planning Commission
meeting additional windows and signage had been added to the design. He stated that
the trash enclosure appears to be entirely connected to the building but is not in order to
accommodate for leaky trash. He stated that different orientations were reviewed for the
site. He stated that he had visited the site and they have attempted to orientate as far
away from Caribou as possible. He stated that they do have a concern with a full access
between the two sites and that is why they are proposing a lower curb, which would
accommodate emergency vehicles but not encourage cross traffic.
Anderson questioned if the plan would be to close the Plymouth site.
Amic stated that they would keep that location open and split duties at the sites between
him and his wife.
Pederson referenced the location of a light pole and asked staff to review that location.
Anderson asked the average age of the students at Goddard School.
Amic stated that the school services ages six weeks to six years old, providing service
through pre-k. He stated that the average would be about 3.5 years old as there are
state mandates regarding the number of younger students allowed.
Cousineau questioned if the widening of Outlot Drive would cause problems with the
setback as proposed.
Finke confirmed that the setback would not be impacted.
Cousineau questioned how trash trucks would access the site.
Finke explained that the trash trucks would continue to use the regular access without
problem.
Mitchell questioned how patrons would access the restaurant as originally planned
through the PUD.
Finke noted that the alignment would be similar to what is proposed, noting that
additional connections to Outlot Drive could be provided.
Mitchell asked and confirmed that the property would pay property taxes and would not
be exempt.
Amic stated that the trash enclosure is attached to the building, explaining that this
layout was designed in order to avoid bringing trash out through other rooms. He stated
that the location is limited by the amount of space allowed by Target and the restriction
on the gym space needed. He explained how the trash is picked up at the Plymouth
location and how the trash would be picked up at this location.

at $17,243.45. He stated that the gap in funding could be funded through the equipment
replacement fund and that fund could be replenished when the remaining PEG fees are
received. He clarified that the PEG funds could be used for equipment upgrades at the
Council Chambers and possibly at other City locations.
Martin questioned if there is any way that the Council could have their own (Pads or
computers linked to the system to follow along with presentations. She noted that also
perhaps the screens could be placed on rollers to be able to move closer when the room
is not full.
Johnson stated that he could follow up with Tierney Brothers to determine if that would
be possible.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Anderson, to approve Tierney Brothers proposal and
fund the project through cable franchise PEG fees, with interim borrowing from the
equipment replacement fund and direct staff to investigate the additional items
discussed. Motion passed unanimously.
