. __'A u/'?y <br />CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br />HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY <br />• MINUTES <br />January 25, 1983 <br />The meeting was called to order by Chairman Sundland at 9:20 P.M. <br />Present for roll call: Sundland, Vice Chairman Letourneau, Secretary/ <br />Treasurer Marks, and Commissioners Enrooth and <br />Ranallo. <br />Absent: Childs. <br />Also present: Richard Krier, Westwood Planning and Engineering Co., <br />Planning Consultant; Larry Hamer, Acting Executive <br />Director; and Judy Makowske, Planning Commission <br />Chairman. <br />Motion by Commissioner Ranallo and seconded by Secretary/Treasurer <br />Marks to approve as submitted the minutes of the January 11, 1983 <br />H.R.A. meeting. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />There was an indepth discussion of the three candidates who had been <br />interviewed January 11th for the position of Financial Consultant to <br />• the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project with a general consensus <br />that the services of the consultant could be utilized for other re- <br />development projects when this one is completed. Councilman Marks <br />estimated there would be at least six other projects in the next ten <br />years and said he believes it would be essential that the best bond <br />rating for the City be established as soon as possible. He then made <br />the motion that the Council appoint the Springsted Co. Financial <br />Consultant to the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project. There was <br />no immediate second of his motion and the discussion was resumed. <br />The Chairman told the other II.P..A. members the memo he had distributed <br />earlier had sought their reactions to his recommendation related to <br />the method of selecting the consultant but there had been none forth- <br />coming. He said he agreed with the Secretary/Treasurer that getting <br />the best bond rating possible was essential but recalled that during <br />the January 11th meeting it was pretty much agreed that all three <br />firms seemed equally qualified for the appointment. Commissioner <br />Ranallo said if this was the case, he guessed the firm who 11r. Krier <br />believes he could work best with should be selected. <br />Mr. Krier indicated he believes the H.R.A. should select the consultant <br />they would be the most comfortable with. However, he does not believe <br />any consultant could promise to get the City an A-1 rating. He also <br />believed there would be little change in the proposals they had made <br />and cautioned the H.R.A. would probably have to live with the fees <br />• which are close to those contained in the original proposals and that <br />
