PLEASANT VIEW -- Council members tabled a possible pay back agreement with a new development, The Station at Pleasant View, while property owner Dave Skeen reviews the payback agreement. Skeen is working with the developer to share the payback.

According to Community Development Director Bruce Talbot the payback will be for building a waterline and Skeen may agree to pay back half of that when his property is developed.

Talbot said there is a time limit on the payback of 10 years, so if Skeen had not developed his property after 10 years the agreement would expire and the agreement would not be binding.
