into Landform for "life"? Mr. Lazan stated he would give it up going forward but any other developer would be more comfortable with their own piece. Deputy City Administrator Nelson added that any work proposed becomes the City's. City Administrator Ulrich stated that he would recommend support of this because he feels it is important to keep the momentum going. The City would benefit from keeping this relationship going with Landform. Regarding the RFQ - that's along-term development experience -looking to carry us through for the next five years. Right now that's a separate deal. He added he would suggest a not to exceed dollar amount of $15,000 - he would not want it to go up to $25,000 without the HRA's knowledge. If it is going up - it has to come back to the HRA. Chairperson Dehen stated he is very interested in having some incentive-based meetings. He did not think the VA project needs anymore pushing. He wondered if Allina comes -can staff handle that or do we have to have a consultant for that as well. Ms. Nelson responded that she felt staff could work through that one. We can use Mr. Lazan if we need assistance. Commissioner Jeffrey stated that at $15,000 per month, we are committing to about $180,000 a year for 19 hours a week. He did not want to see this explode any more. $200,000 a year buys a lot somewhere - we need to think about how much work we are directing there. He expressed concern about staff layoffs and then spending this kind of money. Amendment by Commissioner Elvig and seconded by Commissioner Look to amend the original motion to include a not to exceed amount of $15,000 per month. Motion and amendment carried.

Case #2: Presentations by Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) Contractor/Developer Teams The HRA talked briefly about the strong points of each contractor/developer team that presented this evening. Motion by Commissioner Wise and seconded by Commissioner Ramsey to discuss this further and decide on a team at a later date. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Dehen, Commissioners Wise, Ramsey, Elvig, Look, Jeffrey and McGlone. Voting No: None. It was noted that a case would be added to next week's HRA agenda to select the VA Contractor/Developer Team. COMMITTEE REPORTS City Administrator Ulrich stated he would like to talk about URS and the RTC plan documents. He stated we aze interested in the plans. The amount is $230,000 -staff would like to offer 10 cents on the dollar or $23,000. Consensus of the HRA was that this did not have to come back to the City Council.
