addition to recalculating risk. She reported Attachment C was a good overview of what <br />information staff had gathered to date. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jebens-Singh commented further on how staff had just not had enough time to <br />complete the necessary due diligence or vetting on the current plan that was being proposed <br />because it was a flip from the previous plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monson added she did not believe the current proposal was bad, but it was very <br />complicated given the environmental liabilities. She commented on how much time it would <br />take to work through all of the complexities within the proposal, noting this was just on the <br />County side and there were still issues that would have to be worked through with the City. <br />She indicated the path forward was very long and 60 days would not get the project there. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuire expressed her gratitude to the JDA Advisory Committee members for <br />all of their time and efforts in working with staff and Alatus to reach an agreement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber thanked the JDA Advisory Committee members for all of their time and <br />attention to this matter. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monson stated she was aware of the gravity and impact of the decision before <br />the JDA. She commented she wanted to see this project get done and she believed the <br />proposed recommendation would lead the JDA in this direction. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuire commented the JDA was very committed to getting this development <br />completed and the JDA wanted to find a partner that can get this accomplished in the best way <br />possible. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber stated he cared a lot about the future of this development and he <br />wanted to see it move forward. He explained he made a statement several months ago, the he <br />would support an extension. He commented on how the looming deadline lit a fire under the <br />developer. He was pleased by the work that had been accomplished in the last five or six <br />weeks, but he agreed 60 days was not enough time to complete the work that needs to be <br />done. He stated he was not happy to see this agreement coming to an end, but he did not see <br />an alternative at this time. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jebens-Singh commented she had hope that the continued momentum would <br />push this project forward. She indicated she came onto the JDA with an open mind, but <br />meeting after meeting, she was not getting the responses she needed from Alatus. She <br />explained the doing was not getting done on Alatus’ part. She believed it was her job to ask <br />what was best for this project and she could not in good faith move this project forward in a <br />timely manner with the current folks. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund asked what would have to get done between now and September 7, 2025 that <br />would make the JDA supportive of an extension.
