Community Development Director Crabtree provided a history of the Gateway Center, outlined the property's current and expected future income streams, explained that the State would like the City to terminate this agreement and provide a lump-sum payment to be divided between the taxing entities, introduced Julie Romey of Keyser Marston, and provided a handout.

Chair Gallardo suggested continuing the item to the April 14, 2017 Regular Oversight Board Meeting and directed staff to contact the property owners to gather more information to bring back to the Oversight Board.
