Mr. <br />Kurak noted that he and Mr. Ippel are acquainted with staff, council and <br />the issues; the city would not be paying for that 'get acquainted' period <br />as they would be if an outsider were contracted to work on the star city <br />program. Mr. Kurak stated that he and Mr. Ippel could complete the tasks <br />in about 9 months. Mr. Kurak requested that a favorable vote from the <br />Company be forwarded to the Economic Development Commission requesting that <br />they recommend City Council approval of this expenditure. <br /> <br />Mr. DeLuca arrived at this time. <br /> <br />Ms. Norris noted that Council approval to pursue Star City designation was <br />obtained one year ago. Accomplishments thus far include the completion of <br />the city video the end of this month, a good foundation for the 5 year plan <br />and the Economic Development Commission working on the business survey. <br />Two proposals have now been submitted, one promising completion of star <br />city tasks in 9 months and the other in 18-24 months; if a consultant is <br />not hired, Ms. Norris stated that the project will have to wait until her <br />current workload and responsibilities decrease. <br /> <br />The Company members discussed with Mr. Kurak and Mr. Ippel the tasks <br />included in the proposal, whether they feel they have the amount of time <br />necessary to complete this project in 9 months, whether their positions on <br />the Economic Development Commission could be a conflict of interest, and <br />whether their inside information gives an unfair advantage over other <br />bidders. <br /> <br />Mr. Greenberg arrived at 4:55 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak stated that he and Mr. Ippel would abstain from the Economic <br />Development Commission's voting process regarding proposals for star city <br />tasks; that their familiarity with staff and issues makes it possible for <br />them to delete the time and cost to become familiar from their proposal. <br /> <br />Mr. Hardin stated that he is not opposed to hiring a consultant but the <br />City should advertise for bids; the City Attorney should make a <br />determination of conflict of interest with respect to Mr. Kurak's and Mr. <br />Ippel's proposal; the Economic Development Commission received Council's <br />approval to pursue Star City designation and any proposal for that project <br />should go directly to the Commission. <br /> Economic Development Company/August 6, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
