The public announcement will be made soon and construction will begin the end of September. In my discussions with both partners in the Center--HELP Developznent Corporation and Kraus-Anderson-- I have assured them that once the financing has been secured, I would recommend the continuation of some administrative financing for HELP to assist it for another year or two. Such financial support, 2 have stated on many occasions, would be "bare bones" and would fund only the level: of administration required to get the Shopping Center up and running. We have had, many discussions about HELP: its level of City funding, its purpose, its support from the community, its future role, just to mention a few. I want to clarify that I am willing to recommend the continued purchase of one administrative service from HELP-- getting the Shopping Center up and running--as a partner with Kraus-Anderson. That is not to say that the Shopping Center must be HELP' s only activity. HELP, as a community organized and based local development corporation, can be accomplisfiing many activities for the physical and economic development of the Summit-University and surrounding area. Indeed, I would be pleased if the corporation would take the lead in working with District 8, the Selby District Commercial Club, and others to develop plans for the revitalization of the Selby Avenue and Dale Street strips. This is the kind of activity that local development corporations are about. However, the choice and method of being involved in such activities is a ' decision of HELP and others in the community. Regardless of HELP' s choice, I will not recommend funding the i general administration of local development corporations--HELP or any other---with City dollars. Based upon my position as stated � � ��.;, � ` A Council President Robert Sylvester August 19, 1977 and Members of the City Council Paqe 2 above, I am recommending an annual City budget for HELP from September l, 1977 through August 31, 1978 of $48, 900. The following allocations seem reasonable to me. If HELP feels that they are unworkable, HELP will have to find other funding supplements besides the City to support its additional needs. Director $18,000 Secretary/Receptionist 6,500 Bookkeeper (part-time) 3,500 Benefits 4,200 TOTAL $32,200 Accounting and Legal Services 10, 000 Conferences and Traininq 1, 000 Mileage 200 Rent, Utilities and Maintenance 3, 000 Supplies and Services 1,000 Rental and Lease of Equipment 1,500 . TOTAL $48,900 HELP, as a partner with Kraus-Anderson, must have some administrative continuity to carryo uut its share of the shoppinq center development and operation. It is m� opinion that this r.ecor.imended budget is both adequate and fair. I would appreciate your approval by council resolution so that we may move ahead with the public announcement and construction of the Center.
