COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ITEMS 4a. STAFF REPORT ON 53RD AVENUE DEVELOPMENT AND LINKAGE PROJECT SUMMARY AND CLOSE OUT Executive Director Michael McCauley reported that due to the write downs of land and utilities requested by developers submitting RFPs for the 53rd Avenue development and linkage project and that fact that none of the proposals met the design expectations of the Economic Development Authority (EDA), the EDA elected to use a construction manager approach to build the single family homes. • 03/27/00 -1- DRAFT Staff believes the overall outcome of the project provided a housing development far superior to any proposals received by private developers and with the requirements from private developers for complete write downs of land, streets, utilities, along with a sale price subsidy, the project costs are potentially less than they could have been with a private developer. Councilmember Hilstrom asked when the sod will be completed. Mr. McCauley responded that the sod will be finished once the sod farms have opened and can be delivered. A motion by Commissioner Peppe, seconded by Commissioner Hilstrom to accept report. Motion passed unanimously. 4b.
