City Attorney Goodrich replied there is no basis for a closed session. He chose not to be present when his contract was negotiated, and the Commission can ask that Mr. Lazan not be in the room when Landform's contract is under discussion. Commissioner Strommen noted this is not a personal issue, though she has had concerns for some time about the structure of the contract. She stated there is structure around developing The COR, and structure around developing the City, but the structures should be nested more. She said she would like to have a discussion for that reason. Commissioner Wise noted when Mr. Backman was hired he was to concentrate on development outside The COR while Landform concentrated in The COR. There is more time spent on projects within The COR as a Council because the staff must work through many related issues. Motion by Commissioner Tossey, seconded by Chairperson Elvig, to continue the discussion of Landform' s contract to the next work session. Further discussion: Development Manager Lazan responded that nothing is done outside The COR on his part. When projects came to work with him, and he couldn't work with them for The COR, he brought them to another site within the City. Commissioner Backous emphasized the intent was not to fire Landform, but only to discuss the contract. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Elvig, Commissioners Tossey, Backous, Ramsey, Strommen, and Wise. Voting No: Commissioner McGlone. Absent: None. COMMITTEE REPORTS None. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT None. COMMISSIONER INPUT None. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Ramsey, seconded by Commissioner Wise, to adjourn the regular meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Motion carried.
