Chiat summarized information from his report and Zuchelli discussed the conclusions in his report. He stated that population and income figures were conservative. The report states that 39t of each shoppers goods dollar is leaving the area, at least a thirty million dollar outflow. All figures are current dollar values (not inflated). The analysis clearly shows, Zuchelli stated, support for the third market place, without undue impact on existing merchants. After discussion of changing language regarding definition of 'department store', Zuchelli noted that Council could reject any unworthy proposal. There were no objections to offering the bid in two parts, Option A, without retail space, only ancillary retail supported by hotel or Option B, retail space supported by hotel including the depart- ment store. Zuchelli discussed major changes made from the first draft itsub of the prospectus; meeting minimum price of $250,000, and consideration of revene bonds (industrial), which will require a change in the City's ordinance; specifications for q of floors, M of rooms, HVAC system, conference space restaurant, swimming pool; importance of hotel management; and addition of limiting factors for department store.

Berlin proposed changes in procedure for budget review. The 1350-1547 Capital Improvements Program will have two discussions, the first will be provision of information on each project, general overall cost consid- erations for specific projects and total program; provision of information of kinds of problems Staff is dealing with with the general operating budget in regards to revenue for the City, and an indication of whether or not the general fund is in balance or not. Secondly, Staff will provide more specific information about the general operating budget with the emphasis on general fund, indicating preliminary cost estimates, how they are balanced (or unbalanced) with various revenue sources, and discuss program priorities, Council giving some indication of priorities. Finally Staff would come back with a CIP in the standard format with supporting documents, and then the operating budget in a standard format. Council agreed that this method was worth a try. Councilman -elect Lynch will be invited to attend. Budget hearings will be held on Wednesdays except for third Wed. (JCRPC). Council will meet on 12/13 with chair- persons of Boards and Commissions. Neuhauser expressed concern about the energy conservation program, and direction of Commission. EXECUTIVE Reel #16, Side 2, 1-1121.
