CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of October 24, 2016 — Regular Meeting Page 9 of 11 Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding timing of the request; estimated broker fees and costs; difficulties in obtaining a broker; and whether the City had been through this process in the past. In response to questions from the Commission, Mr. Newlon advised that to his knowledge the City had not gone through this process before, and Finance Director Rebecca Bowman briefly explained the process used and timing of selecting a broker. She advised that ultimately the broker chosen was one recommended by the consultant actually doing the browniield cleanup who was experienced in working with governments in applying for and facilitating the sale of the tax credits, and that the expected return after costs was roughly $100,000. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0. 13.
