Mayor <br />Moore stated since he was a member of the Board he would request Mr. Hernandez take <br />over. Mr. Mihakanin moved for adoption and Ms. Hughson seconded the motion. Ms. <br />Hughson stated she would like to table this item and move it to Item 14 of the agenda. Mr. <br />Taylor stated it would take an informal consensus to move its position in the agenda. <br />By consensus of the Council this item was moved to Item 14. Mr. Ronson stated in Item <br />13H Council was being asked to make amendments or approve submittal to State to make <br />amendments to the contract with the State and it would cover the things which have <br />changed from the original drafting of the contract toward implementation of the issues. Mr. <br />Ronson stated this would cover in-kind contributions. Ms. Hughson stated there was no <br />official attachment to the Resolution that really told the Council of exactly what needed to <br />be amended. Mr. Guerra asked if the contents in the letter to Fred Markham from CBI was <br />what the Council was being asked for. Mr. Ronson stated yes. Mr. Cox asked on in-kind <br />contributions whether the State had certain criteria for determining what is a valid in-kind <br />contribution or does the City have the prerogative to determine. Mr. Ronson stated there <br />is certain criteria and in-kind contributions must be related to tenants, counseling services <br />or some financial assistance and must be supportive to the tenants within the incubator. <br />Mr. Cox asked if there was a list of in-kind contributions in mind which would replace those <br />which had faded away. Mr. Johan Gervais stated there were some attorneys who did not <br />continue their business advisory services and other attorneys who had volunteered their <br />services on a one to one replacement. Mr. Gervais stated several people have come on <br />board after the project started which did not have the opportunity to commit in the <br />beginning like graphic design artists. Mr. Gervais stated quantifiable replacements for <br />example there is only one CPA and they are now having to help start up companies. Mr. <br />Gervais stated they have a system of documenting. Ms. Hughson stated if for those they <br />were lacking had they identified already or were they looking for permission to seek others. <br />Mr. Gervais stated they had identified some and were seeking others. Ms. Hughson asked <br />if they had identified the equivalent already. Mr. Gervais stated for some items like <br />attorneys they are using alternatives and in some cases for example National Oil Well was <br />taken over by Tri-Com and they were not sure the present company will be able to give all <br />those hours or if the Incubator would be able to use all those hours. Mr. Gervais stated <br />they are looking around for other in-kind assistance. Mr. Gervais stated they are receiving <br />a donation for fabrication of the counter top in the receptionist area which was not in the <br />renovation contract and a donation of the large sign in front and have documented that <br />also. Mr. Gervais stated this amendment would allow the spirit of the incubator contract <br />to remain and would allow them to substitute the same value. Mr. Gervais stated they had
