He reminded the Council that a subcommittee of the Development Group and some of the city staff are now meeting with about four developers who have shown varying degrees of interest in putting together a project on Vinegar Hill. Such a project would include a first class hotel of 200 to 250 rooms, with a conference center, underground parking and possibly a health club. He stated that the study done by Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates showed that about $11 million worth of private funds, $2.5 million in public funds and $2.9 million either public or private a total of about $16.5 million -- would be needed for this project. He repeated the assumption, that there would be certain public costs involved, and in dealing with the developers it appears these will be the cost of the conference center and the cost of the parking. He stated there could also be some .public costs, involved in acquiring the land, and some public space deve%opment in or around the hotel itself.
