Present for roll call: Sundland; Vice Chairman Letourneau; Secretary/ Treasurer Marks, Members Enrooth and Ranallo. Also present: Dave Childs, Executive Director and Larry Hamer, Public Works Director. The minutes for the April 13, 1982 HRA meeting were amended to reflect the correct titles of the officers. Motion by Mr. Marks and seconded by Mr. Letourneau to approve as amended the minutes for the City of St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authority meeting held April 13, 1982. Motion carried unanimously. The third and final proposal for Kenzie Terrace redevelopment manage- ment services was presented by two officers of Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc., David Licht and Dan Wilson, who told the HRA members Northwest had evolved from Midwest Consultants, the firm who • had come in second for developing the Kenzie Terrace Study. Mr. Licht, who is president of the firm, explained the philosophy which the firm will follow if selected to manage the HRA, saying he would expect an evolutionary, rather than a revolutionary process to be followed. He anticipates taking one project at a time rather than attempting the whole redevelopment on a grand scale. The consultants indicated they see their roles as facilitators rather than decision makers and urged flexibility in dealing with property owners, recognizing the human element in any redevelopment. They believe it is possible to interest developers in the project and see the project as being feasible. They were not, however, able to predict how soon the total redevelopment . project would be accomplished, but would anticipate that within a year the City will "see something going". In his cover memo, Mr. Childs had outlined the procedure he recommends be followed before he makes his final recommendation as to which vendor will be retained as management consultant. No action was taken. Motion by Mr. Marks and seconded by Mr. Letourneau to adjourn the meet- ing at 7:29 P.M. Motion carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, • Helen Crowe, Secretary Chairman ATTEST: City
