South Bond Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting January 2, 1980 6. NEW b. (continued... (Mr. Ellison continues) -eviewed and comments are to be sent back hrough the mail. There is to be one meeting .eld towards the end of the project, sometime .n the spring, in Washington, D.C. What I did not expect and what then becomes the subject of the .gender item is that Abt. Associates, Inc. has ent me a contract, an actual consultant agree- tent, which I did discuss verbally with [r. Butler. It would appear that Abt. ssociates, Inc. wishes to contract with me as an ndividual. I do have some rpoblems with this ince the apparent reason they asked me to ,articipate is because of my public role. Under he terms of the contract, not only will they eimburse travel and related expenses to attend meeting, but they will also pay me on an ourly basis. It seems to me that we should not ose the money, and essentially what I would ike the Commission to do is have me enter nto the contract in my public capacity with he understanding that any compensation for ctual time received, would be signed over to he Commission, so that as a result of the ontract, we won't lose the dollars. There are o circumstances in which I would want to be ompensated as an individual. Again, this is ased on the presumption that the basis for my election is my public position. I have erved on quote a few panels. I always prefer o do that in a public role and not as a rivate citizen. Nimtz: I congratulate you on this gnition. I think.more will be forth ng as the years roll along, because you really an expert in this whole thing. Donaldson made a motion to authorize and !ct the Executive Director, of the Depart of Redevelopment to enter into an agree- with Abt. Associates, Inc. for the ultation services, and any monies received efrom concerning time be assigned to the velopment Commission, seconded by Auburn and the motion was unanimously -14-
