To: <br />Date: <br />Regarding: <br />Kenneth T. Chavious <br />December 5, 2000 <br />Timetable for HSB building acquisition, <br />preliminary County Board resolution <br />and notice of public hearing <br />Ken, as we have discussed, I am sending along a variety of items to get the financing <br />process started on the HSB building acquisition. <br />The first item attached to this cover memo is a sample- financing scheduler It <br />contemplates a preliminary go -ahead from the County Board at the December 12 work <br />session, and then final County Board action after a public hearing on January 18. The <br />action at the January 18 meeting would include the adoption of the "findings" resolution <br />that the LGC requires; we would also include in that resolution the appropriate approval of <br />a particular financing. proposal and direction to County staff to complete the process. This <br />schedule means we need to have a financing proposal ready to accept by the agenda <br />deadline for the. January 18 meeting, which I would not think should be a problem, even if <br />we had to' go out with RFPs at the beginning of the year. <br />I see that the January 18 meeting is designated .as one to include planning items.. I <br />don't know if this new plan. for the Board meetings is inconsistent with taking action on <br />this project, but I would point out that January 18 is the only regular meeting currently <br />scheduled for January and our only opportunity for the Board to act before the February 6 <br />LGC meeting. <br />The next item .attached. is my proposed form of a preliminary resolution for the <br />December 12 meeting. This is pretty simple, but it is certainly plenty to get us started. <br />Finally, I. have attached the form of a notice of the public hearing. As. you may <br />recall, the notice needs to run once, at least ten days before the hearing - we should try to <br />publish not later than January 7 for a hearing on January 18. You .will see .I have left a <br />couple of blanks in the notice — feel free to fill those in yourself, or call me and ..I will <br />prepare anew version with the blanks filled in. <br />
