OF THE ASSOCIATION BUILDING City Administrator Derickson provided a staff
report. Mr. McCallum asked for clarification on the $600,000 that was included in the RFP
and Mr. Derickson explained that the $600,000 is what the City believes it can afford as an
incentive to potential investors. Mr. Lonergan stated that he would like to do their due
diligence in regards to the feasibility study before they continue with discussion and Mr.
Cox concurred. Ellsworth/McCallum... acknowledge receipt of the feasibility report and
that the consultants have fulfilled their obligation to the City. The motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Cox suggested that the City go ahead with the RFP except remove the emphasis that the

feasibility report that we received and add that cash purchases will also be entertained. Mr.
Lonergan added that he is against the City putting any money into this right now and would

Ellsworth concurred. Mr. Cox suggested that the RFP should instead read that certain Urban

RFP and the marketing of the building at the same time. Mr. McCallum concurred. City
Administrator Derickson asked if they wanted the RFP to come back with the suggested
revisions and Mr. Cox suggested he fine tune the document and submit it to members by
email and if there is more discussion needed after that then it can be brought back to the
board. Ms. Alonso Leon concurred. Chair Figley appointed Mr. Lonergan and Ms. Alonso
Leon to the RFP review committee and stated that she will bring forward two citizen
appointees at a later meeting to be approved by the board.
