>> A LOW COMMISSION. JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE FOR OUR ACTIVITIES FOR LAST MONTH.
IT IS CONTRACTIONS IN FULL BLOOM WITH GRAINS ALL OVER THE PLACE. REALLY EXCITED TO SEE YOU.
ALMOST FINISHED, I TOURED THE SPACE LAST WEEK ALMOST AT FULL CAPACITY SO THIS PROJECT IS GOING VERY QUICKLY.
IT IS NOT PART OF MY SLIDE. I THINK THAT IS ALREADY DEMOLISHED. BECAUSE THE TOWNSHIPS, IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW IN THIS AREA AS WELL.
THE FINAL TWO BUILDINGS OF THE CITY CENTER, THE WINDSOR BUILDING. THE VIEW IS PROBABLY RIGHT OUTSIDE. ALSO SEE THE TOP OF THE BUILDING AT THE BOTTOM LEFT IMAGE RISING OVER THE WINDSOR WITH THE WINDSOR BE IN THE FOREGROUND AND THE BACKGROUND.
SO BOTH OF THESE NOW HAVE THEIR PERMITS, READY TO GO.
WAITING FOR A LONG TIME BUT NOW ERECTED.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN IT IS FULLY DONE THAT IS A SEVEN STORY BUILDING. COMPLETE OUR CITY CENTER.
MOVING FORWARD. HE ALL THE APARTMENTS OPEN.
A TOUR OF THEIR CONDO BUILDING EARLIER TODAY IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. REALLY EVERYTHING ON THAT PROJECT LOOKS FANTASTIC. CONTINUES TO GET AS BUILDING
[00:05:01]
PERMITS, IF YOU BUY INTO THE PROJECT NOW, YOU ARE A SMART GUY OR GAL. REALLY GOOD PROJECT FOR US.FIRST ON A MAIN IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A 70,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING.
THE CLOCK IS STORED. MAGNOLIA UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW. SIGNATURE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS WE SPEAK. THE $1.8 MILLION BOND, A CLAIM WE PROVED EARLIER TODAY RELATES TO THE GARAGE.
AS SEEN IN THIS SHOT A SOLAR COMPONENT THAT DOESN'T LOOK THAT GIANT. IT IS GOING TO BE SMALLER THAN IN THE PICTURE. IT ALSO SHOWS IT BUILT OUT AS WELL WHICH IS PRETTY COOL. THIS IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW.
IT IS MOVING FORWARD. IT IS MOVING FORWARD AT A FAST PACE. THE DIRECTOR HAS DONE A GREAT JOB WORKING THAT PROJECT FOR US.
THE CROSSING IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AS WELL.
MOVING THROUGH ITS APPROVALS TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT.
TOP FLOOR IS GOING TO BE ALL CONDOS.
PURCHASE OF 611 THIRD AVENUE. WE HAVE SINCE TAKEN TITLE TO THIS PROPERTY. IT COMES WITH THE LEASE, THE CURRENT OWNER CAN BUILD OUT THEIR NEW BUILDING AFTER WHICH THIS WILL TRANSFER. FULL INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY.
FINALLY DESIGN CONTINUES ON THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PROJECT THAT IS TEAMWORK. THEN FINAL PART OF MY REPORT IS THAT THE CRC LOOKING FOR A NEW OFFICE MANAGER.
BECAUSE RACHEL WHO JOINED US ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO I REMEMBER SHE GOT TIRED. OUR PREVIOUS EQUITY DIRECTOR LEFT SHORTLY AFTER. AT SOME POINT IT WAS ME AND MIKE AND RACHEL, WE HAD TO KIND OF MAKE IT ALL UP FROM SCRATCH.
IT IS INCREDIBLE THE AMOUNT OF PROGRESS THAT RACHEL HAS MADE TO REALLY MAKE OUR OFFICE FEEL LIKE A FAMILY.
SO SHE IS STEPPING OUT OF THE ASSISTANT ROLE INTO IT ROLE.
FOR THE CITIES IT DEPARTMENT SHE IS MOVING UP.
WE ARE SAD TO SEE HER GO. BUT GLAD YOU ARE SWITCHING OVER INTO IT NOW. IT WAS ABOUT TIME YOU WILL HAD TOO MUCH TALENT TO CONTINUE WASTING IT WITH US.
THAT CONCLUDES MY DIRECTORS REPORT.
THANK YOU. >> HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. >> I THINK I SPEAK FOR THE COMMISSION. THANK YOU TO RACHEL FOR ALL OF HER HARD WORK AND WISH HER WELL ON HER NEW ASSIGNMENT.
WE NOW KNOW WHO TO CALL WHEN WE NEED HELP.
[5a. Finance Committee ]

[7a. Action Item #1 – Declaratory Resolution 2022-3 re: Michigan Road allocation area Synopsis: This is the first step in creating the Michigan Road allocation area.]
WITH THAT MOVE ON TO OLD BUSINESS.ANY OLD BUSINESS TO COVER THIS EVENING?
>> THERE IS NOT. >> WITH THAT NOW MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS. BEGIN WITH ACTION ITEM NUMBER ONE WHICH IS DECLARATORY RESOLUTION 2022 ÃTHREE THE MICHIGAN ROAD ALLOCATION AREA. THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS AFTER WE TAKE ACTION THIS EVENING ASSUMING IT IS POSITIVE IT WOULD GO ON TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
FROM THERE TO THE CITY COUNCIL. IT WOULD COME BACK TO US FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. THEN A FINAL STEP WOULD BE CONFIRMING RESOLUTION BY THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
WITH THAT LET'S SEE. MR. LEE I WILL LET YOU TALK
ABOUT THIS PROJECT. >> THANK YOU.
THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING THIS ALLOCATION AREA.
VERY EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS. THIS ONE IS ALONG MICHIGAN ROAD AS THE NAME SUGGESTS NORTH OF 116TH STREET STILL IN EARLY NEGOTIATIONS. FUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THIS, COMING BACK WITH THAT LATER ON IN A FEW MONTHS.
>> PRETTY MUCH ALL WE HAVE AT THIS POINT.
>> BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF AREAS ALONG MICHIGAN ROAD THAT ARE NOW PART OF THE CITY THAT ARE GOING TO BE ONGOING.
NOT A LOT OF GOOD BECAUSE OF THOSE EXISTING COUNTY AREAS.
PRESENTS A CHANCE FOR US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MICHIGAN
ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. LEE REGARDING THIS DECLARATORY RESOLUTION AND AREA IN MICHIGAN ROAD?
>> MOVED TO APPROVE. >> IS THERE A SECOND.
>> IT HAS BEEN MOVED. RACHEL PLEASE CALL THE ROLE.
>> ACTION ON NUMBER ONE IS PASSED.
[7b. Action Item #2 – Declaratory Resolution 2022-4 re: Flora allocation area Synopsis: This is the first step in creating the Flora allocation area. ]
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH NOW MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM.
DECLARATORY RESOLUTION 2022 Ã FOUR WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE FLORIDA ALLOCATION AREA. ONCE AGAIN MR. LEE.
>> THANK YOU. THIS LOCATION IS SPRING MAIL, 465. THIS AGAIN IS VERY EARLY ON, DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL HAVE A BOND ASK FOR THIS.
THIS WILL BE FUNDING SOME AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AT THIS LOCATION. NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO
START THE PROCESS. >> THANK YOU.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ALLOCATION AREA.
>> YES. SO SOME QUESTIONS THAT A GROUP OF RESIDENTS PROBABLY THE NEIGHBORS HAVE ASKED ME TO GO THROUGH, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WISE TO DO THIS IN A PUBLIC MEETING. SO COULD YOU, I DID NOT ASK THIS ON THE FIRST ONE COULD YOU QUICKLY DESCRIBE WHAT AN ALLOCATION AREA IS, WHAT ITS PURPOSE IS.
HOW IT WILL BE USED. >> CERTAINLY.
SO IS A BOUNDARY, GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARY THAT THE COMMISSION CAN CREATE OR THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING.
WHERE WE DESIGNATE FUTURE TAXES FROM THIS WILL BE PUT TOWARDS THE PROJECT PRIOR THAN HAVING ABATEMENT.
WE REINVEST INTO THE PROJECT TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE. THAT IS THE ONLY USE FOR AN
ALLOCATION AREA. >> THE FIRST STEP I THINK THE PRESIDENT WENT THROUGH THE NEXT STEPS.
SO I GUESS MAYBE THE QUESTION IS, NOT NORMAL USUALLY DOING ALLOCATION AREAS IN CENTRAL, THIS IS MORE RESIDENTIAL.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHY THIS PROJECT IS USING TIFF.
>> THIS ONE USUALLY THEY WILL BE LIKE HEY, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE HERE. THIS ONE LOOKED LIKE YOU KNOW
[00:15:03]
EVEN THOUGH IT IS SOUTH OF WHERE WE USUALLY LOOK STILL WITHIN THAT GENERAL CORRIDOR I WOULD SAY.WE DEFINITELY LOOKED AT IT, A GOOD PRODUCT.
WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP THEM ANY WAY WE CAN.
ANYTHING INTO INFRASTRUCTURE COULD HELP THE PROJECT WOULD
BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS AS WELL. >> SURPRISINGLY THE OTHER PLACE IN THE CITY WHERE THE COUNTY HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CITIES FUNCTION, IS THIS AREA. A BUNCH OF REALLY OLD COUNTY AREAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPRING MILL.
SO THE CRC IS NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY IN THIS AREA.
ALLOWS US TO START PARTICIPATING IN THESE AREAS.
SOME INVESTMENT BACK INTO PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
>> IF IT IS POSSIBLE, DO YOU EXPECT THIS ALLOCATION AREA WOULD BE EXPANDED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.
IS THIS HOW IT IS EXPECTED TO BE.
>> TOO EARLY TO TELL FOR SURE. BUT BASED ON SOME OF THE OTHER SURROUNDING PARCELS, RESIDENTIAL.
I DOUBT IT AT THIS POINT. >> I WOULD ECHO THAT, A LOT OF TRADITIONAL HOUSING STOCK IN THIS AREA.
THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY IS DIFFERENT.
MORE URBAN IN NATURE. THAT IS WHY THE CRC IS
THE STEPS THE PROCEDURES ALL SET BY STATUTE.
>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> I THINK I HAVE HANDLED THE QUESTIONS OF THIS GROUP. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME
OTHER QUESTIONS? OF MR. LEE REGARDING THE FLORIDA ALLOCATION AREA AND RESOLUTION.
SEEING NONE IF IT IS YOUR PLEASURE, ENTERTAIN A MOTION OF
APPROVAL. >> MOVED TO APPROVE.
>> WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLL POLICE.

THIS HIGHLIGHTED AREA IS JUST EAST OF THE OLIVIA PROJECT OFF OF OLD MERIDIAN. SOUTH OF THE SIGNATURE PROJECT.
[00:20:01]
THIS AGAIN WILL BE A MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT WITH FIRST FLOOR RETAIL. I BELIEVE FOR-SALE CONDOS AS WELL. STRUCTURED PARKING P PRIMARILY WHAT IT WILL BE USED FOR. WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THE COMPLETE TERM SHEET YET LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS PROJECT ASWELL. >> QUESTIONS OF MR. LEE REGARDING THIS RESOLUTION OF PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
>> MR. PRESIDENT. JUST A COMMENT I WAS WITH THE GROUP ON TUESDAY. FROM OUT OF STATE WHO WERE COMMENTING ABOUT THE GIFT OF PARKING STRUCTURES.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GREAT USE, SECOND ONE WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT THAT WE KNOW ONE. PROPERLY PARKING THESE PROJECTS AND IT IS FREE PARKING AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE SAW TODAY IN OUR TOUR IS THAT UNDERGROUND PARKING IS AMAZING.
GOING TO BE WONDERFUL AS RESIDENTS USE THE NEW PLACE OR WHATEVER IT IS. WHATEVER IT IS CALLED.
TO ME PARKING I THINK IT IS BECOMING SOMEWHAT TAKEN FOR GRANTED. A LOT OF WORK GOES INTO MAKING THESE WORK, THAT IS WHY WE ARE DOING ANOTHER RESOLUTION.
I WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO JUST MENTION SOME PEOPLE FROM OUT OF STATE NOTICED.
>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT?EEING NONE IF IT IS YOUR PLEASURE GENTLEMEN, MOTION
