MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION February 8, 1990 involved in determining the sale price of the land, but is involved in determining whether the project if financially feasible from a TIF standpoint. The Administrator reported that Business Development Services and the bonding company's underwriters also review the financial feasibility of TIF projects. OTHER Drabik stated that she did not believe it was the BUSINESS intention of the younger members of the Commission to take the Commission over. Drabik stated that she would like to see the older and newer members of the Commission get together and do what is best for the City. Drabik pointed out that younger members with young families might have a different perspective on things than those members whose children raised and gone. Costa was concerned that the City's spending has gotten out -of -hand, and stated that there needs to be some spending constraints in place so that taxes do not get totally out -of -hand. Drabik pointed out that the members of the Commission have a responsibility, other than as Commission members, to make their feelings known to the Council. Bendel stated that differences of opinion are what make the world go around, and hopefully, the decisions made by the Commission are a result of a thoughtful decision. Bendel did not feel that politics were a part of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson election at the last meeting, but a result of reaching a point where a modest change of guard had to take place. Bendel felt the tremendous value and experience of the older members of the Commission joined with the new ideas of the younger members would result in the best of both worlds. ADJOURN There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:20 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Kathy G nzer Recording Secretary Page 17
