Executive Director Tandy provided
updated information:
The Grant Application has been
transmitted and assigned to Washing-
ton D.C.;
The Personal Guarantee documents will
be executed before the end of the week;
The Disposition and Development Agree-
ment will be executed with a few minor
amendments and with one exception;
Taxable portions of the bonds will be
picked up directly by the developer,
rather than under the city's pool
umbrella, leaving the Ballroom/Meeting
Room section and the $3 million tax-
exempt portion with confirmation by the
end of the week;
The developer is unwilling to sign the
portion of the DDA which indemnified
the City at the developer's expense or
a prevailing wage challenge.
city Manager Tandy will present to
city Council two proposed changes to
the DDA at the Council meeting of
January 12, 1994:
1) Reverse the indemnification;
2) City to exempt itself from the
prevailing wage law.
Executive Director Tandy suggested
Agency call a Special Meeting for
January 13, 1994, if necessary,
to approve a revised DDA.
Acting city Attorney Skousen
explained the possible risk of
reversing the liability clause,
and potential litigation.
