UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE CONSIDERED AS WE'VE LOOKED AT OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POLICIES, UM, AND THE CHANGING THAT WE HAVE GOING ON TO CHAPTER TWO OF, OF PLAINTIFF'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, IS THE NEED FOR THE CITY TO PARTICIPATE AT TIMES IN LAND BANKING.
UM, WE HAVE COME UP WITH A PROPOSAL, UH, AND I HAVE PETER BRATER AND, AND DOUG MCDONALD HERE ALSO, IF THERE'S SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, BUT WE'VE COME UP WITH A POLICY RECOMMENDATION INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET THAT WOULD CREATE A SUB-ACCOUNT WITHIN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND OF UP TO $20 MILLION TO ALLOW THE CITY TO PURCHASE AND HOLD LAND, UH, FOR THE PURPOSES OF STRATEGIC, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THIS FUND WOULD BECOME A REVOLVING ACCOUNT.
SO IF THE LAND WERE SOLD TO A, A DEVELOPER OR, UH, WENT A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BECAME A PARK, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE FUND WOULD THEN BE REIMBURSED.
SO IT WOULD WORK WITHIN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THIS
