Mayor stated that the purpose of the meeting was to consider

and related improvements.
Economic Development Director stated that contact has been
made with representatives at the Federal level , about a bill
pending which would affect industrial development bonds;
and requested that the Council validate work accomplished
to-date on the convention center and headquarters hotel project
and the airport hotel , and take an affirmative action toward
the issuance of bonds contemplated in proposed "inducement
resolution" declaring intent to issue the bonds, provided
all legal , economic, and feasibility requests are made to
the satisfaction of the City Council . He stated that the
House and Senate are having difficulty arriving at a conclusion
as to how to structure the new law, e.g. , the House would
like certain exemptions by community, where the Senate would
like a more blanket approach, and the date for which issues
may be grandfathered under the old law may change; and that
action is anticipated within the next week.
In answer to question by Council , Economic Development Director
reported that the Council was not obligated to pick up any
costs, nor to proceed with the bond issue.
City Attorney stated that the Council merely reserves the
right to issue the industrial development bonds. He recom-
mended adoption of the resolution, and a motion urging the
Community Redevelopment Agency to adopt a similar resolution
raSarding the convention center and headquarters hotel project,
ou the next Tuesday.
