She is not opposed to issuing Industrial Development Bonds if some measure of benefit is received over and above just having it physically sit there. If they have financing available from other sources she does not see the need for the City to issue IDB's. She was also concerned that no one was present from Surgi Center to answer questions and made her wonder what kind of commitment they have. Councilman Scott was opposed to the use of IDB bonds for this purpose and felt the City is giving these people competitive advantage over those people outside the Redevelopment Agency; Surgi Center is planning to put in some windo\ls and util ize the City's setback thereby not permitting the City to util ize their property fully; Congress has reduced the use of lOB's as there has been a perverted use of them. However, Council man Scott stated he fel t this lias an excellent project and one that is needed in the community. 2.
