Mr. Inks responded that it expires <br />December 31. <br />Mr. Varner asked if the city has solicited proposals for <br />th scope of services for that management agreement. <br />Mr. Inks responded that the City Controller has had <br />several discussions with Meadowbrook and will be <br />recommending that we continue Meadowbrook's <br />contract for one more year, and then put out an RFP in <br />2009 for 2010. <br />Referring to the Claims list, Mr. Varner asked who the <br />Owners' Association at Blackthorn is and what the <br />$16,226.47 assessment is. Mr. Inks responded that it is <br />an association of all the land owners in Blackthorn <br />Corporate Park. The owners are assessed an annual <br />assessment to cover common maintenance. They meet, <br />establish an annual budget, and based on the acreage <br />each owns, assess aper-acre fee to cover the budget. <br />Since the city owns quite a bit of the acreage, its fees are <br />significant. <br />Mr. Downes noted that he is the Commission's <br />representative to the Owners' Association, attending its <br />two meetings a year. Its minutes and budget are <br />available to the Commission. <br />3 <br />
