Inc. towards a final contract to develop 135 housing units on the
northern and 361 housing units on the southern sites of the project
area for the reasons he had documented in his statement. The Planning
Consultant had also distributed copies of the two proposed resolutions
by which the Arkell group could be designated as the tentative
developers of the project, which the Mayor read aloud.

present and he confirmed that his firm's ability to put up the $400,000
Letter of Credit could be substantiated through the banks.

pleting the project with the least risk to the City.

mission members, Doug Jones, Judy i:akowske, and George Wagner, who
were present, that there would be a presentation of the proposal by
