reviewed. Bob moved that the minutes be accepted, Karen seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
III. Committee Nominations
Randy stated that Cheryl Anz's term had matured and we needed to nominate someone for Chairman of the
FIP Committee. Gary nominated Karen, Bob seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Iv. Review. Discussion and Possible Action on FIP Applications
Karen asked Robert to present his request. Robert stated his concern that Council can okay 0-100% on FIP
guidelines. His application is for a multi-tenant friendly building with a restaurant downstairs and an
architectural or secretarial service upstairs. Chad also stressed his concern over FIP and council. Randy
mentioned that Council has never failed to fund an amount recommended by FIP. Chad stated that
Robert's requested dollar amount is higher than any that has been presented previously, but that the
percentage requested would be similar. The façade request from Robert is for $250,000. All previous
requests to FIP have been $28,000 to $112,000 with city/owner percentages varying from 70% to 33%.
There was a concern by Robert over the lack of funding for an extra floor on the parking garage. Robert
and Chad stated that they were just presenting their proposal to the Committee and a formal application will
be presented at a later date.
V. Other Business
Karen mentioned that each member must fill out Oath of Office forms and have them notarized. She stated
that a list of Committee members and addresses would be faxed. The Committee will probably meet in
three weeks.
