Staff Discussion Items a.l Community Development - TCAAP Developer Discussion Mayor Probst acknowledged the attendance of prospective TCAAP Developers, and said the City Council was ready to identify a partner. Council Member Larson stated he felt the nature of the process is that we are looking at things superficially, He said others are basically presenting their qualifications. He is ready to indicate who he thinks the City should go with, and it is wise for the City to identify a second consortium. Council Member Aplikowski stated it was not difficult to narrow the scope. She wants to know what the "vision" is, e,g. more commercial or different types of housing. She has a first and second choice in mind. Council Member Grant said each developer presented well, but each Council member also has different objectives, therefore, the decision concerning the criteria is the most important. Council Member Rem stated she was ready to make a decision, as well.
