Member Fitzgerald moved to approve the minutes of the June 4, 1990,
meeting. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
ITEM II. - Consultant for Downfown Market Assessment:
The RFP for the Downtown Market Assessment was advertized in the Pinel1as
County Review on March 9 and March 30, 1990. The deadline for responding was
'April 17" 1990. Seven companies responded.
After reviewing the proposals, staff recommends four firms be ranked as
follows: 1) Hunter Interests, Inc. 2) RPR Economic Consultants 3) Hammer, Siler,
George Associat~s 4) Robert Charles Lesser & Company. '
The Downtown Market appraisa'l is an important component of the Downtown
Revitalization agenda. It is critical that we understand precisely what the
market can support in terms of retail, office, entertainment and housing. It is
equally important to conceptualize both real and perceived problems like parking,
traffic flow and public policy restraints. Without precise market information,
we wi 11 be unab 1 e to se,l eet i ve ly target deve 1 opment prospects.
The market assessment will narrow our media and search activities to
prospects that would find the downtown attractive. Throughout the review
. process, staff looked for a firm with solid development credentials" one that
would be able to assess the market, tell staff what types of new development are
feasible, what we must do to achieve the development and which developers are
,most likely to be interested ,in working with us.

In,essence, we want a realistic market assessment, an action program that
will help to. generate new development and not simply a study that provides an
overview of market demographics and potentials.
, ,
, "
,
. The assessment will also serve aS,a policy framework to justify the input
of city inducements that might be necessary in order to foster downtown
redevelopment. The city will have an opportunity to define the role it is
prepared to play ,in pursuit of development while at the same time gain an
I intimate understanding of what the development community expects or needs in
order to make a potential project work. '
Michael Wright, Assistant City Manager, indicated staff was ~nanimous in
its ranking of Hunter Interests, Inc. as first choice for this consultant
contract.

, Concerns were expressed regarding a project in Philadelphia which two
commissioners had viewed over the weekend as they were in Philadelphia for the
Phi11ies trip. Some concern was expressed that the project was not overly
impressive. It was indicated that this particular project had been completed and
leased ahead of schedule and then sold by the develope~.
Jerry Sternstein, Economic Development Director, stated what was' considered
in ranking was the individuals ability to do the assessment and to provide
demonstrated ability in the development field. He stated Mr. Hunter has the
realistic ability to see what the market is and also the ability to talk to
developers~ It was indicated the Community Redevelopment Agency needs to
{~~\ identify where it wishes to concentrate its efforts.
~ ' '
In response to questions, it was indicated staff would not'dictate to Mr.
Hunter regarding his study however. parameters would be provided. It was
indicated that he has six months to complete the work.
