Charlie and son are proceeding very cautiously with this project, but I believe it has the "stuff of which good projects are made" . You will be updated as events unfold. PROPOSAL FOR SILVER LAKE ROAD AND HIGHWAY 10 Today, Paul, Cathy and I met with Jerry Lund and George Winiecki in regards to a proposed medical clinic on the two lots currently owned by George. A physician is very interested in building a clinic on the corner that would also incorporate space for George's insurance business. There was some discussion regarding a larger medical/dental complex that could utilize not only George's property, but also the property owned by Dale Jones. At this point, it appears that they want to proceed only with a concept for the two Winiecki lots, but remain open to "packaging the property" for a larger, more inclusive development. They will be meeting with Paul during the next couple of months to discuss preliminary development concepts and process. They asked about tax increment financing and I explained to them the Council's "pay-as-you-go philosophy and the requirements of TIF law as it relates to the "but for" clause and qualifying costs. The discussions did not center on a specific request for TIF, but merely an inquiry as to how it might relate to a proposal such as the one they have presented. This is a very exciting proposal. I think Jerry Lund (who represents the physician) is more excited than George who, in his words "has seen this proposed projects come and go" . As always, you will be updated as events occur. Arbitration Testimony was heard on Tuesday in the arbitration hearing on the 1994 police contract. It was agreed to by all parties that the arbitration award will cover both 1994 and 1995. The remaining issues (wages, insurance, vacation, holidays, FTO, Senior Officer, longevity, etc. ) will be determined after final briefs are submitted on January 6th. We will receive the arbitrator's decision no later than February 6th.

The seminar offered some very interesting views on how to think about and approach leadership. To give you a feel for what was discussed, I will quote some of the rhetoric and jargon that was used. Some of the things that were said include, "today's leaders must reinvent themselves as extraordinary leaders who can make the impossible happen and change their world. Extraordinary leaders are ordinary human
