He has been in discussions with the developer and as of Friday,there was not an 2 agreement on some very important provisions which the Council has been concerned about;this being that the 3 city not have any exposure or liability. He proposed to MPHA that they insert a standard"Hold Harmless 4 Clause". This language was not agreed to by MPHA. The developer offered to enter into a separate 5 development agreement,and a"Hold Harmless"with the city,and cover any additional insurance requirements. 6 However,this would not provide the same kind of security for the city and although the risk may be small,he 7 did not feel it would be in the best interest of the city. 8 9 Mayor McCarty stated he would not support any agreement that would not protect the City. 10 11 Milo Pinkerton,of MSP Real Estate asked if the city would be willing to give them more time to try to figure 12 out something.
