3. Discussion regarding Retail Attractions, LLC. -- discussion with Rickey Hayes relating to performace so far on his 1 year contract for economic development work for the City of Collinsville. The current 1 year contract (for $30,000) will end June 30th, 2009. Hayes commented tha the economic development process can be "painfully slow". He also commented than some of Owasso's developments took over 6 years in even better ecomonic times. Hayes detailed the type of contacts he has made thus far and the types of responses received from potential retailers (some of whom have visited Collinsville recently). Hayes indicated the city's new web site is a great investment and will pay dividends for a long time. When asked, Hayes also listed retail results he has achieved in the other cities he works for since starting his company in Jan. 2008.

4. Discussion regarding Sales Tax Projects. -- Greg Neato indicated the city could potentially have money "in hand" (actually deposited in a bank) in about 60 days for the $3.3 million sales tax approved by city voters April 7th. Greg's company will handle the process of bond rating, prospectus, etc and selling the bonds. In the meantime the city has the option to begin prelimany steps such as selecting engineers (professional services) and even letting bids but no contracts can be accepted.signed until the money is available. The actual collecting of the new sales tax will likely begin July 1st as that is the next Oklahoma Tax Commission time for change effectivity. Interest rates for the bonds are strong now (low 4% range for a 20 year term) but could change.

5. Adjournment.

COMMISSION CHAMBERS, CITY HALL, 106 N. 12TH ST.

3. Discussion, consideration and possible action regarding RFP process on Park Improvements. -- lengthy discussion but no action taken as there are several steps to be taken before a request for porposal could be prepared. A few of those steps would be hiring the engineering firm (likely Landplan Consultants which did the original park concept and a more recent adaption for the skatepark/splash pad) and a topical survey, then a more detailed plan. Another portion of the discussion concerned possible location changes of specific features different from the latest concept plan. Also discussed was the potential to salvage some of the existing park features in the footprint of the new concept plan. Keith Franklin of Landplan warned of potential cost impacts with making changes to his concept.

4. Discussion, consideration and possible action on remaining Vision 2025 money. -- the park board recommended the remaining ~$14 in Vision funds originally expected to be spent on a replacement building for the burnt out Kiwanis Hut ... be instead spent on resurfacing the tennis courts which are in such poor condition that the CHS teams had all of their competitions out of town for the 2nd straight year.

5. Adjournment.
