of the alley between this property and S. Main Street. Mr. Kinney stated once the legal matters matters associated with the properties adjacent to the alley are resolved and structures
are demolished, the alley can be vacated. Mr. Bermingham stated his objection to paying property owners above the fair market value. This sets a precedent. Mr. Kinney replied the cost
of a second appraisal, which would need to be paid for by the RDA, added to the asking price would almost be at what the agreed upon price is. He also noted a second appraisal could

RDA Minutes 2 November 7, 2007 Review Bonding – Riverwalk/Sea Wall/Park Area Improvements; Marion Rd./Pearl Ave. Redevelopment Project Area Mr. Kinney outlined the bonding needs for
2008 for the riverwalk/sea wall/park area improvements in conjunction with Akcess' development. There are several timing issues that will come into play as the overall improvement project
progresses; one being Akcess' final commitment to move forward. Mr. Bermingham felt this is reasonable and we would not want to impede Akcess' development. However, Akcess needs to be
in a position to move forward before the RDA/City commits additional funding. Motion by Belter that following the adjournment of this meeting, the Redevelopment Authority of the City
of Oshkosh convene into closed session pursuant to Wis. Stats. §19.85(1)(e) where competitive bargaining reasons require a closed session to deliberate concerning the purchase and/or
settlement or partial settlement of litigation regarding real estate within the South Shore Redevelopment Project Area; and pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal
counsel for the RDA that is rendering oral and/or written advice concerning strategy to be adopted by the RDA as to two lawsuits pending in the Circuit Court of Winnebago County concerning
real estate within the South Shore Redevelopment Project Area. Seconded by Tower. Carried 5-0. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 4:44 pm. Respectfully
submitted, Jackson R. Kinney Executive Director/Director of Community Development
