4. COMMUNICATIONS (Cont'd) <br />Mr. Wiggins: Well, you're talking principally, I assume here, about a <br />facility that would be rent subsidized in some fashion by <br />HUD to provide a low -cost housing facility for the elderly. <br />Mr.lNimtz: This is where you get into the square- footage thing. <br />Mr. Brownell: I think, with your permission, Don, as I explained to the <br />Commission, I also have another group of people who are <br />interested in bidding on Section 8, Elderly Housing, and <br />they want two acres in this tract', and, of course, they <br />can't each have two acres. Either one or the other- -the <br />successful bidder would be the only one that would get it. <br />They tried to talk to me about getting an option on two <br />acres, and I said that we have never granted an option <br />to anybody on land up to now, but, I understand, from Mr. <br />Fleck this morning that these people have talked to each <br />other, and if you (speaking to Mr.. Fleck),were successful, <br />you would be willing to turn the two acres' over to then <br />to them? <br />Mr.lFleck: Yes, to both questions. <br />Mr. Wiggins: Now, basically, are you both talking about the same type <br />of general construction? <br />Mr. Fleck: Yes, sir. Let me say, since we first announced our interest <br />in Block 6, we have had conversations with at least two <br />potential developers or bidders for the high -rise elderly <br />project, when it comes out, and both have indicated a major <br />interest in this site on Block 6, as opposed to the site, <br />I believe, on the Northwest side of the city area. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Mr. Brownell, as I understand my discussion with you the <br />other day, we have no formal letter from the other people, <br />as yet? <br />Mr. Brownell: No. No, not as yet. <br />Ms. Derbeck: Are the other bidders, T. Brooks Brademas? The other <br />potential bidder? <br />Mr. Brownell: No. I have no bids from T. Brooks Brademas. I have not <br />talked to T. Brooks Brademas. <br />Ms. Derbeck: We were talking about another person Who was it? <br />Mr. Brownell: There was more than one person really, but 'I have just not <br />given you the names because they haven't made any public <br />statement, as yet. <br />Mr. `limtz: Do the Commissioners have any other questions they want to <br />ask? <br />(There being no further questions on this item, the Com- <br />mission moved to the next item.) <br />- 15 - <br />
