developers; 2) direction to revise the contract scope to provide a better
breakdown between consulting tasks verses brokerage services;
3) confirmation that $81,000 has been spent to date to bring 14 properties
to market; it was noted that the budget for consultation fees for the six
parcels seems high because there are less than half the number of parcels;

will be shared with the broker on the purchasing side; 5) request that
additional fees charged at 4% for normal business functions be removed;

factors including the complexity of the parcel; 7) discussion of consulting
versus marketing fees and how those fees would be expended; 8) if the City
chose not to renew contract for marketing services what would the timing
impact be; 9) it was noted the types of entities or individuals interested in
the surplus properties can vary greatly; 10) marketing efforts should be
broadened as part of the proposal; 11) to date, the marketing strategy for
the properties has been directed by the City; 12) discussion of using onsite

There were no speakers.
AT THIS POINT in the meeting, Councilmember Means left the meeting. The time was
7:17 p.m.
Discussion among Councilmembers followed including concerns regarding
the marketing efforts that have been performed by Kosmont balanced
against their knowledge on the Surplus Land Act and Housing and
Community Development processes and service fees in the contract should
be removed. There was consensus to continue with Kosmont's services
based the loss of time that could be experienced with direction to staff that
the breakdown between marketing and brokerage services should be
clarified and refined noting there could be crossover between the brokerage
and marketing services, and directing greater outreach to the local
community be included.

the Item to a future meeting, date uncertain, following incorporation of Council's direction
