7. Receive update from and provide direction to staff regarding authorizing the retention of a consultant to assist the Board with strategies for reviewing and possibly amending the Project and Financing Plans for TIRZ No. 1. Director of Planning and Community Development, Osei Amo-Mensah, stated that the sub -committee had met twice and went over the list of consultants. Of the 8 consultant groups who were contacted, 2 responded; Forked Pine Consulting and Capex Consulting Group. Forked Pine Consulting has submitted a Comprehensive Proposal, and the committee is still waiting on a Comprehensive Proposal from Capex Consulting Group. Chairman Head stated that he hoped to present the proposals to the Board at the next meeting and act if possible. Mr. Mathieu inquired whether a scope was included with the proposals, and Ms. Hammond replied that a general scope was provided. Chairman Head stated that he felt it would be beneficial to send the proposals to all of the board members when they are received. Mr. Amo-Mensah. said he would send them to each member. Ms. Hammond stated that both groups that responded are more than capable of completing the requested scope and that she was encouraged. 8. Discuss and possibly act on changing the meeting time for board meetings. Chairman Head said he brought this item before the Board after being approached by citizens who wanted to attend the meetings. He noted that, as a board responsible for overseeing taxpayer funds, they should not schedule meetings earlier than 4:00 P.M. to accommodate more citizen involvement. Ms. Hammond and Mr. Hayter recommended 4:00 as the new meeting time and the rest of the Board members agreed. A Motion to move the meeting time for board meetings from 3:00 to 4:00 was made by Ms. Norwood and seconded by Ms. Hammond. Motion carried 6 ayes — 0 nays. 9. Request future agenda items. Mr. Hayter inquired about the adoption of the new Bylaws and whether the TIRZ board had to adopt them separately. After following up with City Attorney, Stephanie Harris, it was determined that the TIRZ board did not need to adopt the new Bylaws because the City Council had already done so. Mr. Hayter also inquired about larger maps of each sub -zone. Deputy City Clerk, Skylar Unger, stated that she could provide that information and would forward it to the board. 10. Adjournment. There being no further business, Chairman Head adjourned the meeting at 3:12 P.M. Miles Mathieu, Vice Chairman Page 2 of' 2
