Director of Planning and Development Elverum and Finance Consultant, Stacie Kvilvang
of Ehlers summarized City Council Report 2024-017. The First Amended and Restated
Contract for Private Redevelopment reflects the willingness of the City of Hopkins to bond
for and assess the cost of the infrastructure improvements. It also makes minor
modifications to the private development, reflecting the revised unit counts and timeline
and clarifies that the utilities (water and storm sewer) are to be turned over to th e city
following completion by the developer. The bonding request does not increase the
amount of public subsidy going towards the development.
Ms. Kvilvang was asked to further explain the unit costs and corresponding minimum
agreement amounts and the city bonding for public parking and public improvements.
