Meeting notes:
The City is hiring Ken Conaway LLC as the project manager for the Music Center. The contract with Ken Conaway LLC is to provide up to 40 hours a week in project management services and additional time for an assistant. This business was created by Mr. Conaway. Mr. Conaway has worked with city council previously. He managed the construction of the Aquatic Center as an employee of 201 LLC. Mr. Conaway is also the owner of Dry Run LLC. The city just extended the $90,000 a year no bid contract they awarded to Dry Run LLC. This contract allows Dry Run LLC to manage the $65,000 of man hours the YMCA contributes to maintaining the landscaping around the Recreation Center in addition to the contracted award price. Mr. Conaway also speaks at council meetings as a representative of the Carriage Trails Developer and appears to still maintain an active role managing that effort.
The Music Center Project manager, Mr. Conaway, talked about the dynamics of the three main development companies that will be involved in the project: GBBN, MKSK and ME. Those dynamics are still being worked out. He also indicate prep work such as environmental studies will begin soon.
A draft budget for the Music Center project was available to council members at the meeting. This document was not handed out or in the read ahead. I'm guessing it won't be in the minutes either. There was no meaningful discussion on the budget.
- GoodSports Economic Development Agreement
- The Heights Development/Carriage Trails
- Issuance of Notes/Bonds
The city is still carrying all the Aquatic Center debt as 1 or 2 year notes. Short term interest rates on notes are currently about 1%. If current short and long term interest rates remain at these levels for two more years the city will save a lot of money in interest payments. The risk is if long term interest rates go up before the city converts the notes to bonds then interest payments could be oppressive.
