Summary

The commission recommended bond initiations to the city council for Norborn Glebe phases 11 ($1.886M), 12 ($2.818M) and 13 ($3.009M), with staff and the city's engineer recommending approval and questions raised about trail and sidewalk cost items.

Staff recommended the initiation of combined performance and land disturbance bonds for three Norborn Glebe phases. The proposed amounts were: Phase 11 — $1,886,150.95; Phase 12 — $2,818,431.50 (staff noted trail costs are included); and Phase 13 — $3,008,819.37 (performance bond). The bond committee and the city's third‑party engineer recommended initiation to council.

Commissioners reviewed trail and sidewalk line items and asked staff to validate the bond calculations with the city's engineer; staff said the bond committee had reviewed the figures and the recommendation is to send initiation packets to counsel for council action. Motions to recommend initiation for each phase were seconded and carried by voice vote.
