6. Council Bill/Resolution 1172-2017
A Resolution authorizing approval of a sole source purchase from Marshall Bond Pumps for a Crisafulli stormwater pump in the amount of $24,675. (Scott Hinton, City Engineer)
Explanation: The 49th Street Stormwater Pump Station is the City’s oldest and most used stormwater pump station. The existing pump is in need of repair, beyond its expected lifespan, and no longer reliable. Staff investigated and determined that it is more cost effective to replace the pump than repair the existing pump. The City standardized to Crisafulli pumps many years ago in an effort to standardize repair procedures and limit spare part inventories. As such, staff recommends that the existing pump be replaced with a new Crisafulli pump from Marshall Bond Pumps in the amount of $24,675. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: $13,000 is available in 330-1971-433.07-50, Stormwater, Other Capital Equipment, and $11,675 is available in 330-1971-433.06-30, Stormwater, Operating Supplies.

13. Council Bill/Special Ordinance 4047-2017
A Special Ordinance authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Amendment to Development Agreement between the City of Moline and The Mills at Riverbend Commons, LLC, for development of the Riverbend Commons project and to execute any necessary agreements referenced therein; and authorizing all appropriate City officers and staff to do all things necessary to complete each of the City’s responsibilities pursuant to said Agreement.
Explanation: On November 12, 2013, the City and The Mills at Riverbend Commons (“Developer”) executed a Development Agreement for the redevelopment of certain real property generally located on River Drive west of and adjacent to the campus of Western Illinois University-Quad Cities and consisting of an approximately 15.5-acre site (the “Property”). This redevelopment project included elements for Phase 1 Project Land, now known as Lot 1 of Riverbend Commons, and certain obligations by the Developer with respect to development of a future Phase 2A to consist of approximately 150 market-rate residential dwelling units, and including without limitation the delivery of schematic plans for development of Phase 2A and the commencement of construction of Phase 2A. The Developer has completed Phase 1 as required by the Agreement in exchange for certain incentives granted by the City, including a $3.3 million construction grant for TIF eligible expenses to be re-paid through the tax increment generated as a result of the redevelopment project and $150,000 for pre-closing work on the Property. However, the Developer has determined that it is economically infeasible to proceed with Phase 2A of the Property without financial assistance from the City, and the City does not wish to deviate from the terms of the Agreement that state that the Developer will not request additional financial assistance from the City for future phases until such time that the increased property, sales and other tax revenues, in the aggregate, generated by the Phase 1 Project Land are at least equal to the amount of City funds paid under the Agreement, which has not yet occurred. The City and Developer agree it is best to delete references to Phase 2A in the Agreement so both parties are relieved of their obligations as to Phase 2A and so that the Phase 2A Property can be developed by others. Additional documentation attached. Consideration Requested.
Fiscal Impact: Rock Island County Recording Costs
Public Notice/Recording: The Amendment to Development Agreement will be recorded by the Law Department
