PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING

The Public Works Committee convened at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 6, 1993, in the office of the City

KINGSWOOD 2ND ADDITION ESCROW ACCOUNT
As directed by the City Council on December 1, 1992,the Public Works Committee convened to review and
discuss the issue of the outstanding escrow balance for the Kingswood 2nd Addition. Related background
information had been forwarded to the Committee members prior to their meeting for their review and
information. After a brief summary of the present situation by the Public Works Director, Mr. Crawford
presented the developer's position regarding the concerns of excessive charges to the development escrow
account (No. 88-SS) and provided a justification as to why these costs should be reduced. The Public
Works Committee recognized the benefits to the City associated with the relocation of the previous street
access to a location that was more conducive to the major entrance into the future 40-acre Municipal
Center/Community Facility site. This relocation also provided better spacing for local street access onto
a County road arterial street (Pilot Knob Road). After reviewing the current development escrow balance
and the developer's request for City participation of costs incurred in recognition of City benefit from the
replatting of this subdivision,the Public Works Committee offered to reduce the escrow balance by$8,918
which is approximately equal to the amount of the City's in-house staff time charged to this escrow account.
Mr. Crawford indicated he would take this proposal back to the developer and provide the City with a
response within approximately one week. At this point, Mr. Crawford excused himself from the meeting.

Lexington Avenue and Lone Oak Road intersection. After limited discussion regarding this response and
the project as a whole,the Public Works Committee requested that the written response be provided to the
entire Council as a part of the public hearing information scheduled for May 4.
There being no further items to be discussed, the Public Works Committee adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
