negotiations but are not "deal breakers."
Mayor Pro Tern Stone asked if 20% of the ad time would still be used for Community
Services messages. Mr. Palmer stated 20% was the agreed number.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Stone, seconded by Councilmember Parks to approve
the loan as originally proposed with the conditions that 20% of the ad time on the sign
be devoted to Community Services messages; that if as a result of the RDA litigation
settlement, a prime rate of plus one (+ 1) for loans is allowed, that rate will be applied
to this loan; that the final design of the sign will be brought back to the Council for
approval, and that any other changes to the original agreement must be approved jointly
by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
