Old Business:
Matrix provided a detailed
breakdown of the expenses and hourly rates for the two out-of-scope meetings.
Fred Bryant and Joe Harris have reviewed and recommend offering Matrix $9, 137
rather than the claimed $16,500. Matrix billed for 39.5 hours of time not spent
rendering actual services. John Parker made a motion to approve sending to
Matrix the letter prepared by Joe Harris explaining our final offer, seconded
by Sparkle Adams. The Board voted
unanimously to approve the motion.
The ILRA Staff and attorneys
have met with the Forest Park Development Partners on two occasions. There is
still some work to accomplish, but we are very close to having an acceptable
Disposition and Development Agreement Term Sheet.

two occasions, Staff has met with EDAW to discuss the Fort Gillem Zoning
project. At the last meeting, EDAW provided suggested changes and/or additions
to existing zoning and land use ordinances and regulations. Fred Bryant, John

provide their perspectives and insights.
