Mr. Robinson made a motion that the bid proposal be

Special Meeting on Monday, June 4, 1979, at 11:00 A.M.
to act upon the bid proposal and /or recommendation of the
staff and legal counsel, seconded by Mr. Donaldson, and
the motion was unanimously carried.
b. Ratification of
t concerning Parcels
Mr. Eckerle: The Redevelopment Department had to take
action upon this development agreement with all the parties
involved with the "hole" project. We attempted to call a
meeting of the Commissioners to act upon this agreement,
and in failing to do so, we contacted the Commissioners
via telephone to obtain a poll on their decisions in voting
on the agreement. It was agreed, at that time, to have
Mr. Nimtz sign the document. All the legal counsel have
to sign it, and we are now asking that the Commission take
formal ratification of this document.
Mr. Nimtz: As I understand it, under a previous motion of
the Commission there was a tentative approval of this agree-
ment, but to ratify and confirm the action taken by the
President yesterday, in conformity with the polling of the
Commissioners, I would like to ask for a motion.
