Mr. Klein briefed council on the Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement with Wal-Mart Real Estate Business
Trust which was executed in October 2013. Exhibit C of this agreement estimated the total cost of public improvements
to be$3,371,565,and included the replacement of approximately 2,600 linear feet of 12"asbestos cement waterline with
PVC waterline within the limits of the Borgfeld Road reconstruction project. During the design stage and early
construction it was discovered that the existing waterline on Borgfeld Road is made from PVC and not asbestos cement
pipe as everyone understood, and therefore did not need to be entirely replaced. The Public Works Dept. ask Wal-Mart
to revise the design to include only replacement of the portions of waterline that are in conflict with the widened road
and new utility crossing. Revised plans reflecting update have been submitted for review and need to be incorporated
into the 380 Agreement Exhibit C. It is estimated that the changes will reduce the cost in Exhibit C by approx. $50,000.
An amendment to Exhibit C will be brought to City Council at the April 28 meeting. Mr.Klein also discussed the slow
progress of relocation of AT&T utilities. Meeting was held with the City, School District and Wal-Mart and their
