O'Donnell/ Ernie, how, well let's get a motion first. Elliott/ So moved. Lehman/ Moved by Elliott. O'Donnell/ Second. Lehman/ Seconded by O'Donnell. Discussion? O'Donnell/ How long is this for? Lehman/ Six months. O'Donnell/ It's another six months? Lehman/ The first was 90 days I believe. Bailey/ Do we have a sense, go ahead Mike. O'Donnell/ No, that's okay I just wanted to know how long the extension was. Bailey/ Do we have a sense on how this has been going? What kind of leads they've have? Lehman/ I was at their meeting Thursday night and the realtor, who is Harry Wolf, was at the meeting, and I believe if I am not mistaken the Commission has asked him for some sod of a visibility study on the buy ability of that property and he indicated that a 90 day period really wasn't long enough to justify the sort of study they were looking for and he asked for a six month extension to kind of justify the cost of putting together that visibility study and the Commission agreed with him 6 to nothing. Vanderhoef/ What is their expectation for additional dollars if they do a visibility? Lehman/ Harry's spending the money. Vanderhoef/ That's what I'm asking. Dilkes/ The Commission doesn't pay Lehman/ No. Vanderhoef/ There isn't any request for funding for that? This represents only a reasonably accurate transcription of the Iowa City City Council meeting of July 21, 2004. #4 Page 3 Lehman/ No, no. lhis is strictly....he doesn't want to spend the money unless he has enough time to have a reasonable effod to market the property. Vanderhoef/ ah ah. Dilkes/ And my understanding there are some significant leads as well. Bailey/ That's what I wanted to know. Atkins/ And we have at least two we are negotiating. Bailey/ So something is happening it's just going to take a longer period of time. Lehman/ It seemed very positive. His report to the Airport Commission. And they seemed, obviously they agreed, they voted 6/0. Any other discussion? Roll call. Champion/ Because I wasn't here for the discussion I'm not going to vote. Is that all right? Dilkes/ Yea. Lehman/ The vote is 5/1, with one abstention. And the motion carries. This represents only a reasonably accurate transcription of the Iowa City City Council meeting of July 21, 2004.
