• t <br /> Staff Report Page 4, Agenda Section 11M- September 23, 1996 City Council Meeting <br /> be beneficial to capture a tax increment off them. A less clear position at this point is whether having <br /> Diggs on the same site as the Bel Rae is a real benefit or not. This, and the first two aspects will need <br /> some face to face discussion. The second approach is to view Diggs as a partner in a cooperative <br /> venture. While the aspects outlined above would still apply, the City may need to gage a level of <br /> support and willingness to work with them. This will require the City to work on some joint interests <br /> such as use of a City gym if built, City use of volleyball facilities if desired,joint marketing of events <br /> common to both, etc. There would seem to be potential to several joint ventures, but I realize the <br /> main concern of Council members to date has been on the Bel Rae side. <br /> As for this Monday evening,the comments made last Wednesday suggest two things need to be done <br /> first. One, acknowledge the survey data has been collected and that the Council is waiting for the <br /> executive summary. Two, scheduling of a community meeting should be done. I would suggest the <br /> Council consider October 21, a Monday evening. Other nights that week may also work, and not that <br /> I am trying to influence anything, but when you get into mid to late October, Tuesday through <br /> Thursday evening are baseball playoff and World Series nights. If that effects your attendance, you <br /> may want to keep that in mind. If the Council cannot reasonably quickly decide on Monday when <br /> to have this meeting,I would suggest having decided at the next work session. Another consideration <br /> for the Council would be to have a work session meeting prior to the public meeting to address issues <br /> such as I have laid out in this memo, and also how you want to conduct the meeting. It was <br /> suggested Bill Morris come in and act as a moderator and I would concur with that. <br /> thepurpose of this memo is to give the Council some semblance of a direction to take without • <br /> Again, <br /> attempting to tell you what you ought to do. Each of you has your own preferences in this project <br /> and I am concerned that for whatever reason, clear commitment to many aspects has not taken place. <br /> I hope this helps. <br /> 0 <br />
