e Mr. Holmer asked Mr. Sercombe if tax increment money from the rest of the district is also available to fund a project on this site. Mr. Sercombe said technically the money could be used for these purposes, but it might not be practically feasible. Ms. Wooten thought Pankow should be encouraged to complete the design development drawings, including the library, to give the council and public more to base its decision on. Mr. Gleason said these drawings are expensive and the City would have to pay for them. Mr. Farkas pointed out that Pankow would develop the shell of the library. The interior could be designed at a later point by another developer. He said design of the library space is inconsequential to whether the deal is made now. In response to a question from Ms. Schue, Mr. Farkas said ownership of the library shell would be the subject of negotiation. Ms. Wooten asked staff to provide a suggestion for expedient public processing of this issue for the council's next discussion on the library. Mr. Bennett felt it is important for the councilors to have their questions answered so it can be determined whether there is a consensus about the direction to proceed. He said if there is a consensus, it could influence the focus of the public process which would become a concentrated effort to market this site to the public rather than a consideration of multiple options. e The meeting was adjourned to October 24, 1988.
