Members present were Amy Boldt, Susan Westermeier, John Kovan, Ron Carter. Also present was Clerk- Treasurer Diana Cordray. Mayor Brainard was in attendance briefly to give an update on the status of the bids for Parcel ;'F'1. Phyllis Morrissey present as support staff. John Kovan is the new member of the Commission, replacing Liz Tevyaw. Mayor Brainard: We are still negotiating a project agreement with both AMLI and Prime Residential. We have received a letter from AMLI to extend their bid for an additional thirty days (until October 11, 1999). The main problem causing the delay is the mitigation of the 5.65 acres of wetlands. Two levels of approval are needed: from IDEM and the Army Core of Engineers. One of our options: At a five to one ratio we can replace the wedands with another area somewhere else within this watershed. There is a possibility we will receive a donation of land which can be used to this. Once we have the closing, the 54,000,000 will be held in escrow. We'll then have several months to get the wetlands issue resolved. Al?,El is still committed at this time. t Approval of Minutes Amy Boldt moved the minutes from the Executive Session and the regular meeting of August 4, 1999, be approved. Sue Westermeier seconded the motion. Ron Carter and John Kovan abstained. The three remaining Commission members voted to approve the minutes. Old Business There was a brief discussion about the miniature golf presentation which all members received previous to the meeting. Mr. Roesch noted it would not appear this project would be financially feasible given the bid we received on the first parcel on land. The question of restroom availability on the Monon and other trails was discussed. Mr. Kovan described public restrooms he had recently seen in San Francisco. After further discussion, Mr. Roesch asked Mr. Kovan to get some information on the facilities if possible. Ms. Boldt asked if there was to be anotherclosino of an intersection at Merchants Square. Mr. Roesch noted we did, set aside $140,000 and we can check to see if there's any money left for that. Ms. Boldt asked if there was something left undone for that. Mr. Roesch stated that-transaction was closed now and asked the secretary to check the previous minutes regarding this matter. 1jr4pFFIGIAL MINUTES CRC Meeting Minutes of 9/8/99 (Continued) Page Two Mr. Roesch asked if we are to pay income taxes on the difference, the arbitrage income for fiscal 1998.
