Commissioner Backous inquired how we are handling evaluation on this side of The COR. That <br />will be a question by the public too. <br />Mr. Lazan talked about the equalizer with regard to the land and stated the previous appraisal <br />numbers will be brought to the HRA and City Council as well. <br />Commissioner Backous noted we will have to work on narrowing our numbers down. <br />Chairperson McGlone inquired at what point the numbers go public. <br />Attorney Goodrich stated that a closed meeting will be held to talk about the numbers. If the <br />HRA/City Council agrees with these numbers and you direct that we enter into a purchase <br />agreement - then they become public. <br />Chairperson McGlone asked if we will be able to get the numbers public in the manner City <br />Council wants to We do not want too much going on to be perceived as behind the scenes. <br />Commissioner Strommen felt that we need to let people know about the process as well — and <br />then the numbers. We need to be transparent all the way. <br />Commissioner Elvig stated it is land for land — we are not just trying to embellish one to match <br />the other. <br />Development Manager Lazan stated that without laying out the numbers for the Commission, <br />they are remarkably close. <br />HRA Executive Director Nelson recommended that if there is a consensus to get the review and <br />appraisal, we can do that and come back on February 14. We could get authorization to do the <br />appraisal and have the discussion of the process on camera on February 28. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that a resolution could be done for the HRA to adopt and for the <br />City Council to adopt that establishes there is potential for conflict of interest and to list the <br />process and that that resolution is separate and distinct from the offer. For example, we <br />recognize a potential for a conflict of interest, this is how we will go through the process to <br />assure there in no conflict of interest, etc. <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that he is confident we will not have a conflict of interest but our challenge <br />is to show we do not have the appearance of a conflict of interest. <br />Consensus of the HRA was to do the appraisal and technical review and bring it back to the HRA <br />and City Council on February 14, with a resolution on that one parcel. <br />Commissioner Backous stated we have to be so careful to ensure that all three parcel owners are <br />treated the same. <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / February 6, 2012 <br />Page 6of11 <br />
