This person will be terminated at the end of December unless funding is provided. The City Manager recommends that the position be retained. Recommendation of the Committee on Community Needs: (1) That the City Council find funds to resolve the problems of the Creekside area. (2) That two houses for handicapped children be funded from sources other than CDBG funds, or that Systems Unlimited be encouraged to apply for CDBG funding next year. Recommendations (1) and (2) require no further action at this time, as they were discussed with CCN at the informal Council meeting on November 22, 1982. (3) That surface and drainage improvements on Kirkwood Circle re a high prioritytion of the Public Works capital improvements program. rs to the request by residents of Kirkwood Circle for CDBG funds for drainage improvements and resurfacing. This project is not in a designated Neighborhood Strategy Area at this time, and therefore received a low priority for funding with CDBG funds. The residents have requested assistance from the Public Works Department which is aware of the problem. Because of the complete absence of curbs, catch basins and storm sewers, and the bad state of the pavement, the City Engineer estimates that it would cost $60,800 to make the required improvements. It is suggested that Council consider including this project in the 1984 Capital Improve- ments Program. Balmer returned to the meeting.

HOTEL/DEPARTMENT STORE City Manager Berlin reported on events leading up to the present time re- garding Armstrongs proposal for the department store, and their purchase of Rosheks in Dubuque, efforts by the Zuchelli firm regarding financing and developers, and interest by hotel developers. Now there are four possible alternatives: 1) scratch use of the site for both department store and hotel, and rebid entire site for hotel use only, not using 82-1b or pedestrian mall; 2) stay with current design and timetable for the hotel/department store and see if a hotel developer or another developer can enter into a satisfactory agreement with Armstrongs by early March (City can submit a UDAG application by then.); 3) continue the hotel on the present site, and reserve space for Armstrongs for some time in the future; or 4) rebid the hotel immediately, restructure the hotel site so it has slightly more space, leaving about 60,000 square feet on the department store site for a smaller 'opportunity site' (department store, offices). There would be separate timetables for construction, and this would include the pedestrian mall area and 82-1b. Variations on these alternatives were discussed. 1729-1920 1920-1930 1930-2727 Berlin stated that Zuchelli recommended the City not give up -give one more run atit-give Armstrongs until March.

Neuhauser commented that if a delay was made for Armstrongs, they should be will- ing to pick up costs already incurred by the City specifically made to accommo- date them. Lynch suggested a strongly worded letter be sent to Armstrongs giv- ing them a certain number of days to respond. Several Councilmembers agreed on 30 days. Hayek noted the formal notification would be on Council's agenda. AGENDA 2727 -End 1. McDonald commented on the continuing problems with Starport.
