Documents to be prepared and submitted by the American City Corporation to the principals during the course of work shall include the following: 1. Market Analysis Report 2. Retail Center Concept with Development Objectives 3. Preliminary Development Arithmetic with Estimates of Public and Private Investments Required The report to be prepared within a four to six month period will cost $75,000 with an additional reimbursable fee not to exceed 10% ($7,500) of the basic fee. The St. Joseph Bank & Trust Company has agreed to fund one -half the cost of the project. Depending upon the results of the study, it will be decided by the city, St. Joseph Bank & Trust Company and The Rouse Company as to whether it is desirable and feasible to proceed with further services by The Rouse Company and whether The Rouse Company might be interested in the actual development process. I believe this study is essential to further progress downtown. Thus, your support of this resolution is asked. jmr
