John,
Our City Manager had a question on the proceedings,
"for the purpose of paying the costs,to that extent, of undertaking a project in the Downtown Reinvestment District
Urban Renewal Area consisting of constructing,furnishing and equipping an indoor aquatic center and associated
grounds and facilities as further detailed in the urban renewal plan approved by the City Council on August 24, 2021."
We will have expenses for land acquisition and planning and design—does this need to be included in the proceedings?
Also we are recommending to the council that the hearing be held on an amount not to exceed $21,200,000—with
donations coving the rest of the cost. Council will of course have the option to approve a hearing at another
amount. Will update the proceeding to reflect what is decided at the meeting.
Thanks,
Duane
