He was somewhat concerned about that because he voted tier the agreement only because Council had been told that Minutes February 1, 1994 Page 2 they had to do so right then in order to preserve certain options under State law that would otherwise expire January 1st. That vote was not a commitment to any particular project, it was certainly not a commitment to a public subsidy of the project. In his view the determination of those issues was still in suspension. His concern with the resolution was not with actual terms, but with how it may be interpreted by staff. He would feel more comfortable if staff could tell him that adoption of the resolution would not result in an exclusive focus on one possible prqject to the exclusion of any other projects that could be legally or economically viable. Agency/City Attorney Boogaard stated the Agency/Council authorized the signature of a semi-exclusive agreement. In that regard, the City for six months would be precluded from negotiating with anyone but owner participants on the site.

Chainnan/Mayor Nader stated it was his understanding that other proposals could still be discussed if they involved any of the property owners or developers that were parties to the agreement. Chris Salomone, Director of Community Development, responded that was correct. Chairman/Mayor Nader questioned whether it was staff's intent to still be open to such possibilities if the resolution was passed. Mr. Salomone responded that staff would consider any owner participation proposal. Chairman/Mayor Nader stated with that understanding he would support the resolutions. RESOLUTIONS 1388 AND 17381 OFFERED BY CHAIRMAN/MAYOR NADER, reading of the text was waived. Agency/City Attorney Boogaard emphasized that the resolution obligated the Agency/City to consider all owner participants that wanted to propose a plan.
