Secretary’s Report: None Motion by Lasky. Seconded by Castle. Motion carried by voice vote. Res. 06-18 Authorize Soliciting Requests for Proposals – Marion Rd./Pearl Ave. Redevelopment
Area, Phase II Mr. Kinney noted a draft request for proposals (RFP), updated from 2004, had been sent with the agenda packet. He noted that Stolley Photography did an aerial shot of
the Marion/Pearl area this past week and that will be used on the cover. Mr. Kinney reviewed the RFP noting the parcel layout scenarios. Mr. Stam inquired if a list of firms receiving
the RFP has been or will be prepared? Mr. Kinney replied he has put together information on various organizations and entities that will receive a copy of a "Development Opportunity"
flyer or a full RFP packet. Mr. Kinney distributed copies of the proposed flyer noting that staff is also considering placing an ad in the Milwaukee Journal and Green Bay Post Crescent.
Information will also be available on the City's web site. Regarding a submittal deadline, Mr. Kinney indicated he was open to suggestions as to a 60, 90 or 120 day deadline, or not
having a deadline and addressing proposals as they are submitted. Mr. Lasky liked the idea of leaving it open ended. Mr. Bermingham felt the first round of proposals could be looked
at in 60 to 90 days, say after October 1st. Mr. Lasky felt based on the time of year, we would be looking at 2007 for construction.
RDA Minutes 2 July 19, 2006 Mr. Kinney replied by the time proposals are received and reviewed, then approvals by RDA and Council, financial package is put together, etc., we will be
looking at 2007. It was the consensus to indicate wording noting no deadline of submittals on the RFP's, but that proposals would be looked at by the RDA after October 1st. Motion by
Castle to move approval of Res. 06-18 authorizing soliciting requests for proposals for Phase II in the Marion/Pearl Redevelopment Area. Seconded by Belter. Motion carried 6-0. Res.
06-19 Approve Change Order #1 – Statewide Razing Mr. Kinney noted that acquisitions have been completed on scattered sites within the Near East Neighborhood as authorized by the RDA.
The RDA currently has a contract with Statewide Razing for demolition of several scattered parcels. Since Statewide is prepared to begin work on other demolitions in the area, staff
requested that STS Consultants obtain a quote from Statewide for demolition of these additional properties. STS believes the quote from Statewide is consistent for properties of this
size and is recommending that a change order be approved with Statewide for demolition of these additional properties. Mr. Bermingham inquired what will be done with these lots? Mr.
Kinney noted the lots will be assembled for future redevelopment sites. Motion by Castle to move approval of Res. 06-19 approving change order #1 to the contract with Statewide Razing.
Seconded by Bermingham. Mr. Lasky noted he will abstain from voting in the event Block Iron receives any scrap materials from the demolition sites. Roll call was taken. Motion carried
5-0-1 abstain (Lasky). There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 4:25 pm. Respectfully submitted Jackson Kinney Executive Director/Director of Community
Development
