South end Redevelopment Commission Regula# Meeting - March 21, 1980 4. CO ICATIONS (continued) Ms. Auburn continues... 3e s like a good idea and I think it would in rease the traffic downtown which I feel the Ile chants would appreciate. It appears to me that the availability of th buildings would be open and on a first come fi st served basis and that wouldn't pose any ar blem. Mr. Nimtz: You can get into some rivalry as to whc has the best location etc. Ms. Auburn: I feel they can hassle that out am ng themselves. Mr. Ellison: I am not so concerned about the request from political organizations as I am about the fact that if we are going to try to seek tenants on a short term basis, we should have month -to -month leases cancellable with a 30 -day notice. The process itself is a negotiable one, and I am concerned about the mechanics of having to try to negotiate a lease and then come back to the Commission for lease approval, because in the process we lose a great deal of time. W. Nimtz: Mr. Kagel, am I at liberty to make any fu ther statement concerning our meeting, or do you want to make some statement concerning plans? Mr. Kagel: Yes. There is a firm that has indicated some interest in renting space and I think it would be wise to rent it space. Mr. Cira:. How are you going to determine the rent pei square foot? Mr. Ellison: I presume that would be negotiable. Mr. Nimtz: Mr. Kagel, you don't want to say anything fu ther than that? Mr. Kagel: I am not prepared to speak, but I think that you are moving in the proper direction. I feel a decision should be made properly and from a legal standpoint some things have to be worked out, but after all the firm is willing to take and assme the 1i ility situation, the insurance, utilities, etc. it is far better to have the building occupied, rather th have it empty. -12-
