To overcame, public policy must bei set, ori incentive package put together insuring achievement of the public statement of purpose. The constraints of the developer have to be understood. The City needs to simplify its process to achieve its public xirpose,.by aggregating forces, public and private, to use the expertise Ond taienis: of the developer. Also the approval process needs to be simp_�ified, the City approving within a specified time, and language written .into the land disposition agreement, (This is also why the City is getting It out of the picture,) For an example, he ccaMnted, why not let the developer of Bl�jcks 83184, after the Council has established that there will be a parking garage; where it will be, and how many spaces it will be, and what the City is willing to pay for it to be built, to let him design it and build; it and have a management contract. The Mayor questioned if there Would !be any problem of the legality of competitive bids in that sort of situation; Zuchelli stated, no, the developer would be a developer, this�;w d,b6 a condition of his designation, and could put out bids on constrOct16n'. Zuchelli explained his concern that physical improvements in public right-of-ways be compatible to private developers, such as Plaza;Centdr I., Glaves pointed out that this is not a wholesale writedown of" values, but an easing of land prices. Zuchelli stated that too things are lacking in the need for a public improvement program, the lack of�a plan and the lack of financing. He added that he wanted to know a. public answer to everything the land disposition negotiations ;ire going to bring up, including location, size, and budget for all line items Tor public improvements. Parking needs will be determined by market surveys, Decisions will have to be made 1) on whether to close Capitol, 2) what: is going to be done with Washington, 3) College and Dubuque ,rind 4) what to do about the Library. Zuchelli added that the street closures, and the site size and,,configura affect the Librar , (If it cones off its current site), also�pl;an constr, Program constrain s and design constraints, and he would rather! that Council not predetermine its position about the Library until they get the facts, then they can make the decision. He and the staff will make a recamiendation also. Glaves advised that, whether the Librark is moved or not depends on the competing uses for that land. Zuchdlli pointed out that the City has implied obligations conoerninx P1 Center I, and will need to resolve three things; 1) to de . on a, Plan 2) to in an interim solution to College/Dubuque intersection with negotiations between the two parties, and 3) implementation of permanegt solution (College/Dubuque), which night well have to moved out 6f the total context of the financing plan. In answer to the question of how the P1C.nt�a h�;l ;no retail space• ended up 2JI higher than the street, City Attorney Hayek said that Probably the elevation of the bulding was iii the: building plans:, approved by the Staff in Janu<uy 1976. Zuchelli advised that this shouldibe resolved before Christmas. 9 Concerning bidding, the staff will put together a prospectus. ; written document for each of the groups of parcels being placewhich theh as' a market. It will stipulate all the terms and conditions of the solicitation; 111 document will need approval by Council. Then the City will b' --'gin "''11 Solicitation process by going out in the market and offering xts;wares, ii Council has yet to determine what the solicitation process is, wtieth?r to use a selection comnittee, the Council, or the Administration, It. ends up in the reccxrmendation Of designation of a redeveloper; The developer brings back an offering stating what he is willing. to do is Council designates him. After the offerings are receivzd, they will go {j thru an evaluation, and will end up with the designation of a;redevel�per. The methods of evaluation are 1) the LPA (Council:), 2) by technicians: !' (Finance Director, City Manager, Public Works Director), and ) an independent selection committee (bankers, engineers, architec s). Zuchelli pointed out that he would discuss the Offers, but would not make a final recommendation. He noted that nosmaily Councils delegate evaluation, but this Council might want tokeep it, because 0;! the degree of local participation. A memo will be sent to Counci];',with recomnendations concerning the minimums and maximus The nest Council action will be to be sufficiently comfortable with those recaiinendatiQns to allow the staff to reconnend what the public improvements are to fit the plan. This should be done by mid-November. 'en they will move to start the financing. Glaves tormented that once the staff gets the prospectus put together,, and seeks Council approval, it will spell out clearly what thee-critex are on which offers will be judged. The first step is to make isure the Offerings meet the technical requirements of the Solicitation. Council- members agreed that it was clear as to where the staff is, going. It was moved by Balmer and seconded by Vevera to adjourn.to executive session to discuss appointment to the Comd.
