Revitalization Commission Minutes October 12, 2015 Page 5 of 6 City Manager Fleming said in the past when narrowly defined instances what city wants to see have not lined up with is what is possible. Broader definition allows the community to define what is realistic; the response is left up to developers. Commissioner Gorsevski said responses to RFP can be negotiated. Chair Becker asked who decides which RFP is recommended? Fleming said the LRC decides which one merits consideration, negotiates, then goes to Council for approval. Attorney Light discussed various scenarios about potential RFPs to be received. Any project will have a redevelopment agreement that has to be approved by Council. RFP language was discussed. Mayor restated that he is open to fairly broad proposal, describing zoning. Redevelopment that meets zoning. Chair — we have an opportunity to hear from people who listen to what community wants. Mayor Muckle would be willing to hear proposals but not solicit rezoning. We have an approved Comprehensive Plan and heard from community. Uses other than residential may require rezoning change. The LRC will discuss with the City Council at the next Study Session, bring back to LRC to refine what was heard and come to an agreement and figure out how to move forward with RFP. d. Council Study Session October 27, 2015 Draft of memo to study session handed out. Deputy City Manager Balser reminded LRC that Council cannot give direction at a Study Session. The LRC can gather input without a Special Meeting. Council can make clear what the next step should be without a Study Session. Attorney Light said Council does not have to sign off on RFP. Majority of Study Session will be spent discussing RFP. e. 2016 Draft LRC Budget Budget was discussed. City has $80k budgeted for parking study.
