Charles Parrott, said is required anyway Its recommendations go to the Council Committee of the Whole Tuesday night. Parrott said the contract should be terminated so the authority can negotiate with other prospective developers For the first time, we could have more than one developer working on a project at one said Parrott The authority. he added, has been talking informally with some prospective developers While Rubloff and De Baun must have commitments for two department stores to have their contract reinstated, other prospective developers need that, he added. Aldermen John Schubert (2nd Dist.) and James Shoger (6th Dist.) said they favored terminating the contract but opposed giving Rubloff and De Baun reinstatement rights give them special Schubert and Shoger each asked on separate occasions Schubert suggested terminating the contract and letting Rubloff and De Baun someplace else." Said Parrott: itlf 1 rvnrt benefit that Rubloff might be able to put this thing together Rubloff and De Baun originally sought reinstatement rights for Harborview developments such as a hotel or other uses, but the authority limited it to department store development, he added They are still negotiating with department stores, he said The two developers also have $250,000 worth of marketing and other studies which the city could take advantage of. he said.

With reinstatement rights, he said, the city has everything to gain and nothing to lose. When Schubert pressed for nonreinstatement. Parrott said the development contract is signed by four agencies the authority, the developer, the city and the Parking Utility and the authority cannot cancel it alone. Asked by Alderman Dennis Kaufmann (3rd Dist.) if the developers would leave their marketing data with the city, Parrott said they probably Kaufmann wanted to retain the developers' $70,000 performance deposit if they leave the data But Parrott said the money had to be returned if the developers couldn't get financing for parts of the project They showed they couldn't, Parrott.
