Councilmember Scott inquired whether the project was currently on schedule and
how far along it was. Administrative Assistant Hoffman stated that he believed
the project will be on schedule, and of the 14-i acres in the total project
area, the City now has control of 12~ acres. He added that the schedule will
be somewhat tight but it is anticpated that the project can begin in May.
The HRA Director explained that the condemnation proceedings threw the schedule
off by about six months, since the title problems were not originally anticipated
in the schedule. Allowing for this six month period, he explained the project
is on schedule. Administrative Assistant Hoffman noted a correction in the
rents indicated in the Tax Increment Financing Plan, and explained that the
rents should be $350-$400 per month and not the $300-$360 as stated in the plan.
