Mr. Bartram feels this was an inappropriate action for the EDA because he has had limited discussion with Super Valu and feels Super Valu has made insufficient efforts to negotiate with him regarding his leasehold interests. City Attorney Kennedy noted that the condemnation does not preclude further negotiation with the tenants at the Anthony Shopping Center. Mr. Bartram asked the EDA to reconsider their resolution authorizing condemnation, or direct the attorney to delay filing condemnation documents. City Attorney Kennedy offered to have the EDA not file documents for two weeks to allow additional time for negotiation; however, the City will proceed with fulfilling its obligations as outlined in the development agreement. If the 14 day delay is not possible, the condemnation papers will be filed and the President of the EDA and the City Manager will be notified so the City Council, EDA and Mr. Bartram can be notified.

Mr. Casserly reviewed the two options for amending the development agreement. Option #1: Revenue note in which the developer takes on the entire risk for the redevelopment project, would remain at $173,000.00. Because of the smaller project, it would take longer to reach $173,000 and the note would be extended to 11 years. Option #2: Mr. Johnson would receive assistance up front to reimburse him for acquisition and demolition costs. This assistance would be approximately $127,500.00. Mr. Casserly noted that the net effect to the City would be the same for both options. In Option #1, the City can pay the assistance over time and in Option #2, the City has to come up with the funds immediately. Motion by Commissioner Grimes and seconded by Commissioner Anderson to direct staff to amend the agreement as outlined in Items #1-#3 in Mr. Casserly's May 3 memo, and either Option #1, the revenue note extended to 11 years or Option #2, a cash payment of $127,500.00, depending upon which option is selected by Mr. Johnson.
