e information. The commission continues to support the project and voted unanimously to accept the preliminary development agreement with the Price Development Company. Some commission members expressed concern because the contract was for six months instead of nine months. The staff will schedule a commission discussion of it in five months. Subcommittees will be working on the issues Ms. Wooten has raised. Replying to questions from Ms. Ehrman about the expansion of the location of the project, Ms. Bennett said the Downtown Commission has not agreed on a conceptual plan for the project. Mr. Holmer wants the council to be apprised of all the information given to the Downtown Commission by the developer, of the decision points in the project, and, especially, about the estimated costs of public improvements and relocation of businesses. The council needs to know what the developer identifies as public costs so the council can have input before decisions need to be made.
