Diane,
I spoke to Bob last week. This issue has become further complicated because after 5
months of review, Barilla has asked for several changes to the development agreement.
Most we can agree to but there are is at least one item that we will not go along with.
Mark and I will have a call with the Barilla attorney at 2:00 today. Hopefully we can iron
everything out, as you know we need to file by December 1 or Barilla will not be able
establish the TIF base they are expecting to get the most from their TIF rebate. Bob is
standing by and will prepare the proceedings depending on the progress of the agreement.

1 can certainly use the old one. Also, normally, Bob Josten sends me the text for any public notice. I did
not receive anything from Bob, so I took some text from an old similar issue and modified it to fit this one;
the publication deadline was upon me. I also couldn't find in the Code where a public notice was
necessary. I asked Mark Lambert to also check, and he couldn't find anything. I sent it for publishing
anyway because I assumed that Duane's CAF stating that because it constituted debt for the City, a
Public Hearing (and notice)was necessary.

Good morning, Diane!
Duane asked me to double check with you to see if you need anything for
the Barilla Council item next week. He said he thinks you will use an old CAF,
but just wanted to check. :)
Thank you!

Steve, Diane, and Mark,
Mark and I had a call with the Barilla attorney on Monday. I think we were able to iron out
all the issues with the Barilla development agreement so in addition to the public hearing
CAF, we have placed a CAF for the development and minimum assessment agreements on
the t: drive and I will tell Bob Josten to prepare the required proceedings. Barilla and their
attorney are aware of the timeline but if they do not get us an acceptable agreement this
will need to be pulled. This action was on the draft agenda.
