PRESENT: Mr. Bohnenberger, Mrs. Franklin, Mr. Rushworth, Mr. Sniff, Chairman Pena ABSENT: None PUBLIC HEARINGS None BUSINESS SESSION 1. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE AGREEMENT WITH RUSSELL G. BECKner?. Mr. Kiedrowski advised that Mr. Beckner will review with the Board, his experience and the kinds of projects he?s worked with in the past. We have talked for four years about moving forward with projects within the Highway 111 corridor and he believed that Mr. Beckner is the person capable of assisting us with that goal. The exclusive right to negotiate is for a limited period of time and he hoped that there would be enough progress shown during these six months to warrant extending the agreement at that time. Mr. Beckner presented his background and experience in working with developers. He has been fortunate to be involved in most of the types of retail that he believed is envisioned for Highway 111. He felt that this is a unique opportunity for a city to have the foresight to put a significant amount of land into a Redevelopment Area in a major corridor and be able to control the development of that property. It offers a tremendous opportunity to the City and to the residents. It will have a wide draw and will contribute significantly to the revenues of the City. During the first ninety days, he would come up with a narrative or development concept. He believed that there is a window of opportunity to put together a regional mall. For clarification, Council Member Bohnenberger stated that this action will not result in any cost to the Agency it just gives Mr. Beckner an exclusive right to try to put together a plan during the next 90 days. Mr. Kiedrowski noted that this will not prevent any property owner from hiring a person to work for them and coming before the Council with their project.
