for leases and discuss it in greater detail at a Work Session. Councilmember McGlone suggested that Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan have an e-mail and slide show ready to send out to people who inquire about the property to show them what has been found on the property. Councilmember Look stated that he would like to talk to realtors and see what they think it will bring and then move forward with that information. Deputy City Administrator Nelson asked if the Council would be open for staff to seek out brokers that would be willing to do this on a commission basis because she doesn't think that Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan should be serving as a Leasing Agent. Councilmember Dehen suggested marketing it at current market value and see what comes in, and if it takes too much time, bring it back to the Council. City Administrator Ulrich suggested a two-prong approach of putting a sign on the property, but also talking to some realtors and ask them to submit proposals to try to beef up the sale of property on a commission basis. Amended motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers Elvig, Jeffrey, Dehen, Look, McGlone, and Wise. Voting No: None. Case #6: Consider Authorizing a Resolution for the Preparation and Distribution of a Request for Qualifications/Proposal (RFQ/P) For Development of East Town Center Park City Engineer Himmer reviewed the staff report. Councilmember McGlone stated that he is not in favor of moving ahead with this project, at this point in time. He stated that there has just been a Steering Committee put together to discuss this area and he feels like this is putting the cart before the horse in this development. Councilmember Jeffrey stated that he thinks the City needs to move forward with the RFPIRFQ process because the Steering Committee needs this information to begin moving forward. He stated that it may come to the point where a decision is made not to pursue this, but he feels the information is needed.
