An estimated timeline for this option is <br />included in Attachment E. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br />The Agency Director concurs with the URA’s conclusion that Beam and KWG submitted qualified <br />responses to the RFQ. The Agency Director has considered the information provided by Beam and <br />KWG, the ERAC recommendation, and the input received from the public. Based on KWG’s <br />demonstrated qualifications and its overall responsiveness to the approved RFQ objectives and criteria, <br />the Agency Director recommends selection of KWG Development Partners (Option 1, as stated above). <br />Upon selection, the next steps would be to: 1) begin the process for a Downtown Urban Renewal Plan <br />amendment, 2) begin the application process for HUD Section 108/BEDI funds, 3) take a specific public <br />involvement plan to the Planning Commission/Citizen Involvement Committee for approval, 4) bring <br />back specific project financing strategies for City Council and URA approval, 5) negotiate project <br />design and details with KWG over the next four months, and 6) return to City Council and the URA for <br />approval of the project and financing details (estimated for September 2007). <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />Move to select KWG Development Partners and direct the Agency Director to: 1) begin the process for a <br />Downtown Urban Renewal Plan amendment; 2) begin the application process for HUD Section 108/BEDI <br />funds; 3) take a specific public involvement plan to the Planning Commission/Citizen Involvement <br />Committee for approval; 4) bring back specific project financing strategies for City Council and URA <br />approval; 5) negotiate project details with KWG over the next four months; and 6) bring back the final <br />project and financing details for City Council and URA approval in September 2007. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A.
