Mr. Clark reviewed his memo dated September 13, 2004, which was included in the <br /> Council packet. His memo outlines "talking points" or issues for discussion with regards <br /> to the Interim Agreement with CRR, Inc. for the TCAAP project. <br /> The first discussion was regarding the expiration date. Consensus was that the amended <br /> agreement would run for two years. The next discussion was the corporate name, which <br /> is proposed to remain "CRR, Inc." even though Centex is no longer part of the team. <br /> (There was a typo in the memo listing the corporate name as "CCR", which was clarified <br /> to be "CRR.") <br /> The next discussion topic was the Project Budget. The Developer would like to expand <br /> the basis for reimbursement. There was discussion regarding the basis for this request. <br /> For example, one basis for reimbursement could be if the planning and development <br /> process continues and is ultimately approved, but the land use (which requires a 4/5 vote) <br /> fails. CRR would like to see costs reimbursed for work that still has value to the City <br /> and/or a new developer. For illustrative purposes only, Mr. Clark had listed some <br /> potential reimbursement percentages by the various budget categories. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated that he was not in favor of expanding the list of <br /> reimbursable items. Councilmember Larson said that it seems fair to not create a <br /> "windfall" for a future developer. The City's risk is fairly low; whether we wait the three <br /> years before working with a new developer so that the reimbursement is a moot point, or <br /> . we negotiate with a new developer to reimburse us for those costs. <br /> \ \Earth \Admin \Council\Minutes\ Worksession \2004\09-13-04- 2.doc <br />
