MENT NO. C-142. Mr. Rosland gave a brief update on the Ebinborough project,
stating that negotiations are progressing with :the redevelopment team and that
final development plans will be presented to the Community Development and Plan-
ning Commission at its meeting of October 31, 1984, and to the City Council at its
meeting November 19, 1984. He noted that presentation to the Council may be
delayed a few weeks, depending on the tax increment figures. At this time, the
Council is being asked to authorize advertisement for bids for site grading and
soils correction for the project in anticipation that if the final development
plans are approved by the Council that construction could begin on the office
site and the housing site. Mr. Rosland advised that, because. of the- complexity
of the paperwork, the elderly-housing site could not be started before approxi-
mately April of 1985. Member Turner then introduced the following resolution
and moved its adoption:
