Item
E-1 Councilmembers Senjem moved, Marcoux seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 481-
98 for Project No. 6204-3-96 (J-9383) "Widen and Construct Concrete Curb &
Gutter on the North Side of 4t' Street S.W. from 23rd Avenue S.W. to Approximately

F-4a Councilmembers Hruska moved, Stobaugh seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 482-
98 entering into a City -Owner contract for Project No. J-9500 "Basic Construction in
Essex Estates Fourth Subdivision" with North American Realty and Road
Constructors, Inc. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried. r
G-1 Councilmembers Senjem moved, McConnell seconded, to remove from the table
the amendments to the City's 1998 Qualified Allocation Plan. Ayes (7), Nays (0).
Motion carried.
It was noted that a letter had been received from the Community Housing
Partnership objecting to the allocation for the 1999 funds as they felt that it would
eliminate them from possible funding for the 1999 year.
Tom Canan, Assistant City Attorney, reviewed what had transpired to date; i.e.,
application by two private investment companies, Sherman and Arlington. The
scoring for the tax credits gave Sherman the award, Arlington alleged that there
was a conflict with the law firm of Leonard, Street and Deinard doing legal work in
another area for Sherman. A second scoring was completed which Arlington failed
to receive the highest score again. A settlement was worked out that would award
Sherman most of the credits for 1998 and Arlington a small amount of credits with
Arlington receiving most of the credits in 1999 and Sherman receiving a small
amount. However, this settlement would meke it more difficult for the Community
Housing Partnership to successfully compete for an award of the housing tax
credits until 2000.
Councilmembers Hruska moved, Stobaugh seconded, to award the 1998 allocation
to Sherman, to award no 1998 tax credits to Arlington, to not modify the 1998
Qualified Allocation Plan and to not adopt a 1999 Plan at the present time. Ayes
(6), Nays (1). Councilmember McConnell voted nay. Motion carried.
Having no further business, Councilmembers Senjem moved, Stobaugh seconded,
to adjourn the meeting. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
