reported that a proposal has been submitted to ICSC for a presentation of public- private <br />partnerships to be made at the conference by Lazan and Nelson. The estimated cost is $3,500. <br />The big ICSC conference is scheduled for Las Vegas May 22 — 25, 2011. This past year, the <br />HRA secured a booth in the main hall for presenting The COR to developers and retailers. Staff <br />is seeking direction with regard to the desire of the HRA to continue its presence at the <br />conference with a booth in the main hall and whether any changes to the 2010 Recon booth for <br />The COR are desired Funding would come from the HRA budget. <br />Commissioner Elvig was in favor of the conferences and added that he felt the booth for the <br />Vegas conference is adequate. He thought the City should send a representative to Chicago. <br />Chairperson Dehen asked if we have to pay Greeby for being there. <br />Mr. Lazan stated they are part of the advance the Team gets but essentially Greeby and Cronk <br />are free but for expenses. <br />Chairperson Dehen asked if their representing the City was a part of that. <br />Commissioner Look asked about a cap to which Mr. Lazan replied $120,000. <br />Commissioner Ramsey stated that with regard to the ICSC Conference in Vegas, the size of the <br />booth depends on the size of the group. We feel we would have way too many people for that <br />size of booth — he would like to see that size doubled. <br />Commissioner Look agreed it should be twice that size. <br />Commissioner McGlone agreed — go big or go home. He wondered what money we are getting <br />back as an incentive for us. <br />Mr. Lazan stated he would check out the price for a booth twice the size of the one we had and <br />also check out a better location. <br />Mr. Ulrich stated that location is a priority. He suggested maybe going with a broader <br />attendance of people across the county — send fewer to Vegas and then be able to send a couple <br />people to other areas <br />Consensus of the Commission was that the Chicago conference is okay just being represented by <br />Greeby, send Lazan and Nelson to Phoenix and then come back with more discussion on the <br />ICSC Conference in Las Vegas and bring back options for the booth. <br />COMMITTEE REPORTS <br />None. <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / October 5, 2010 <br />Page l0 of 11 <br />
