Staff members present were: Jerry Dulgar, Executive
Director; Anne Norris, Community Development Director; Steve

Coordinator.
President Moravec called the work session to order at 6:36
P.M. Anne Norris reported on the activity of the November
15, 1993, School Board meeting, where District 281 officials
requested that the City be involved in on-going Mielke Field
purchase negotiations with SuperValu. Steve Bubul explained
three possible options regarding financing the condemnation
of Mielke Field. The various options were discussed at
length.
The concensus of the Authority was to have staff pursue
Option 2 or 3, which included amending the Development
Agreement with SuperValu so that the EDA accepts some
financial responsibility for condemnation costs in excess of
$1.6 million, provided a source of financing besides a tax
levy could be secured.
At 8:12 P.M., the EDA discontinued its discussions of Mielke
Field and took a short break before continuing with the City
Council review of the 1994 budget.
