7 Mr. Engel said this entails an agreement to en title the City to move the money required to complete the road to City standards. Ms. Szakos asked what the estimated time fo r completion would be. Mr. Tolbert said it will likely begin in 2015. Ms. Galvin asked if there is a small area plan as sociated with this area. She asked if there is an understanding about future infill possibilities at this location. Mr. Tolbert said there was a study completed a few years ago that examined thos e issues. There are no further studies planned at this time, although staff does have a rough id ea of future plans from the Hydraulic/29/250 study. Ms. Smith asked if Phase Two in the full Hills dale extension will use Line Drive and Zan Road. Mr. Tolbert said it will. Ms. Smith said she hopes Phase Two will make more sense than the current traffic pattern. On motion by Ms. Smith, seconded by Mr. Norris, the fund transfer was approved.

(Ayes: Mr. Norris, Ms. Smith, Ms. Szakos , Ms. Galvin, Mr. Huja; Noes: None.) REPORT: City Market Study City Market Study Mr. Engel presented to Council. He reviewed the work of the consultant on the various City Market options. He asked Council for direction about the ground lease on Garrett Street and whether Council is interested in entertaining a process to poten tially sell the pr operty the City owns on Water Street where the market currently takes place. Council needs to consider where the market will be moved while redevelopment is occurring on the Water Street lot. Ms. Szakos asked if we can go forward with an RFP but wait on a fi nal decision. Mr. Engel said you can structure the RFP to accomplish this, but Council should be serious about their course of action before asking for proposals. Ms. Galvin said Council has to ask whether they are willing to use the entire site for the market or determine that it has to be developed. Mr. Huja said he would be opposed to using it for the City Market alone; he supports mixed use development. Ms. Szakos said she is leaning towards an RFP because as much as she wants the City Market to stay where it is now, she does not believe that is ultimately viable. Ms. Galvin said an RFP has to have design standards built in that reflects Council's intentions for that area.
