Michael Wright, City Manager, stated the intent of the Commission's Action
assigning the contract to the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was 'to give'
the Task Force time and flexibility to develop a recommendation. He stated the
City has closed on and taken possession of the building. For now, the building
is being kept pretty much as it is with the alarm system and utilities on. He
stated he wished to re-emphasize that staff is here, not to influence, but to
assist the task force as the task force requests. He stated staff has no pre-
conceived ideas and is looking to the task force for recommendations. The
Commission has set a six month timeframe for the recommendation.

plan, Mr. Wright indicated this was an update to the CRA plan and a synopsis is
being prepared and will be provided to the task force.
In response to questions, the City Manager and Economic Development

restrictions on the task force and allows greater flexibility than currently
exists in the zone.
Mr. Mazur stated that within six months the Commission needs to either act
regarding the task force recommendation or put the item on hold. He questioned
how much time the Commission needed to evaluate the task force1s recommendation.
Mr. Wright indicated that if the report were submitted by the end of May, that
should be sufficient time.

regarding what type of report the Commission is expecting from the task force.
