Alderman Howe recused himself from this conversation. Community

to cover the financing gap, as well as requesting up-front cash instead of
the pay-as-you-go model.
Committee and City staff discussed the different financing options.

unique circumstances of having an Alderperson and City employee as part
of the Strand Adventure team and that the facility is nearly complete, that
the City work with an outside consulting firm for their recommendation and
