Executive Director Keller brought to the Board for discussion the letter from
J.M. Goldberg of the Furniture Mart, 3335 S. Broadway, requesting the use of
the Public Service Building for temporary storage of "sale" merchandise. No
motion was passed, but the Board felt since the property was on the market and
available to prospective bidders for inspection, it would show better as a
totally vacant building. Letter to be sent to Mr. Goldberg.
Mr. Charles Buchler's telephone inquiry about "who was going to pay the cost
of the planning retreat" on October 7 was brought to the floor for consideration.
No motion was passed, but the Board members felt this was a legitimate
expense for the Authority to pay. All Board members, consultants and invited
speakers are giving a full day of their time and $12.00 per person was not
extravagant for breakfast, lunch, 2 coffee breaks and the exclusive use of a
private meeting room for a full day.
Meeting adjourned. at 1:40 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted,
