IT'S BEEN A BUSY MONTH OF CONSTRUCTION IN THE CITY OF CARMEL. THE RENT IS MOVING RIGHT ALONG. LOTS OF CONSTRUCTION THERE AND IT'S REALLY STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE. SAME WITH THE WINDSOR, THEY'RE NOW VERTICAL AND DUG IN THEIR ADDITIONAL PARK. THESE ARE THE LAST TWO PROJECTS PART OF THE CITY CENTER DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'VE DREAMED OF A LONG TIME AGO. AND PRESINIUM IS BUILT AND LIVELY AND WILL SOAP BE BRINGING ON A CONCEPT FOR A TAVERN ON THE GREEN. THE LAUNCH IS LOOKING AT AN OPENING OF THE PARK THERE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. LOTS OF PROGRESS HAPPENING ON FIRST ON MAIN, YOU COULD SEE THAT [00:05:01] BUILDING TAKING SHAPE AS WELL. I LOOK FORWARD TO THAT PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE OPENING FOR EVERYONE TO USE. MAGNOLIA IS NOW WORKING ON THEIR SECOND AND THIRD BUILDINGS OF THE TOWN HOMES. THE FLATS, AND, I BELIEVE WE WILL SEE A DEMOLITION OF THE BUILDING ON THE CORNER IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. THE MUSE, WHICH IS THE BUILDING AT 116TH AND RANGE LINE IS COMING ALONG AS WELL, LOTS OF PROGRESS THERE. CONSTRUCTION, UM, THE SIGNATURE SITE CONTINUES AS WELL, AND THE MASONRY IS GOING UP, ON THAT BUILDING AND IT'S, UM, REALLY GOOD IN MY OPINION. THE CIVIC SQUARE GARAGE IS NOW OPEN AND THE MURALS ARE UP. THEY CONTINUE TO ADD VIBRANCY AND LOCAL ART TO THE CITY. AND ONE THING COMING SOON WILL BE CONDOS THAT WRAP THE CIVIC SQUARE GARAGE FROM THE TWO SIDES. WE HAVE A TERM SHEET AND WE WILL BE BRINGING THAT IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. IN THE CROSSING WHERE REPUBLIC IS CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD. THEY'RE WORKING ON THE GARAGE RIGHT NOW AND WE'LL HAVE A PLAN FOR WRAPPING THE GARAGE, I THINK, LATER THIS EVENING. PERSINIUM TWO IS MOVING VERY FAST. THERE WAS AN ELEVATE TOWER THERE TODAY AND I THINK THEY'RE WORKING ON THE STEEL FOR THE FIRST FLOOR ALREADY. THERE'S GOING TO BE A DOG PARK AS PART OF THAT PROJECT. ALREADY ON MAIN HAS DEMOED THE SITE, AND THEY'RE DOING THEIR PRE-CONSTRUCTION WORK AND THEY'RE SITE WORK ON THAT NOW AND IN SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE PUBLIC PLAZA AS PART OF THAT CONSTRUCTION AS WELL. FINALLY, UM, ON SQUARE NORTH, WE'LL BE, THE DEVELOPER WILL BE MOVING FORWARD OP THE NORTHERN TWO BUILDINGS ON THAT SITE THAT LOOK LIKE THAT. THAT IS THE VIEW OF A FUTURE EX-SPANNEDED MONON, THAT ART IS A PLACE HOLDER. IT'S NICE TO SEE A CONTINUATION OF OUR REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS. THE CITY CENTER AREA AND THE MONAN AREA WITH ARCHITECTURE THAT IS A COMBINATION OF KIND OF MAY BE A GOOD BRIDGING ARCHITECTURE, BETWEEN THE MOORE INDUSTRIAL MIDTOWN AND THE MOORE NEOCLASSICAL GEORGEAN CITY CENTER. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSIONERS MAY HAVE. >> COMMISSIONERS, QUESTIONS FOR THE DIRECTOR? [5. COMMITTEE REPORTS] >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU MR.

Action Item #3 – Contract for sculpture] >> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER CISSINA? >> RESOLUTION IS APPROVED. NOW WE MOVE TO ACTION ITEM NUMBER THREE IS FOR THE SCULPTURE, FOR THE SE WARD JOHNSON ATELIER SCULPTURE, AND MR. DIRECTOR. >> I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE TO THE MICROPHONE RAJU WHO IS A DUEL CARMEL RESIDENT AND RAJU IS [00:15:13] A VOLUNTARY EXTRAORDINARY. >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS, THE FULL CONCEPT OF THIS CAME WHEN THE MAYOR ASKED ME TO LOOK INTO SCULPTURE, AND WE FORMED A COMMUNITY WITH SOME OF THE INDIAN FELLOWS HERE IN THE CITY OF CARMEL. AND I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE INDIAN ASSOCIATION. SO, WE PUT SOME THOUGHTS TOGETHER AND CARMEL IS ALWAYS KNOWN FOR THE ARTS. AND THERE'S ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE PERFORMING ARTS OR THE PALLADIUM. AND THAT'S BECOME SYMBOLIC. SO, WE THOUGHT ABOUT COMING TO SOMETHING, SO, HERE IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN THE PICK TURKS THIS JUST REPRESENTS INDIAN FAMILY, THAT THEY'RE SITTING NEAR PALLADIUM SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDTOWN. UM, AND, HE'S HOLDING A FLUTE WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, JUST PLAYING AROUND. THE REPRESENTATION IS INDIA THE WOMAN IS LOOKS LIKE AND THE KID ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, MORE, WESTERNIZED DRESSES. SO, THIS LOOKS LIKE, AND THEN THERE'S A REASON WHY WE PUT IT ON BENCH NOW WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, EVERYONE WANTS TO TAKE A PICTURE OR A SELFIE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SELFIES I'VE TAKEN IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. BUT, THE CONCEPT IS TO BUILD AND TALK A ABOUT CARMEL AND HOW THE CARMEL DIVERSITY INCREASED, ESPECIALLY THE LARGE INDIAN POPULATION THAT MOVED FROM INDIANAPOLIS TO CARMEL. I'VE BEEN HERE MOVED FROM INDIANAPOLIS, SO, IT'S A GROWING COMMUNITY IN CARMEL. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION TO WHAT WE HAVE FOR SCULPTURES, AND ALSO, IT'S COLORFUL. IT'S MORE BRIGHT AND COLORFUL, AND THE ONLY THING IS THAT YOU DON'T SEE THE MEN HAVING SHOES IN THE PICTURE. BUT, IN THE REAL SCULPTURE, YOU'LL SEE BLACK SHOES. BUT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT, THE CONCEPT WAS APPROVED BY US AND IT WAS WELL-RECEIVED. IT TOOK A LONG TIME, IT TOOK MORE THAN A YEAR TO FIND THE RIGHT MODELS, THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND COSTUMES AND DRESSES. I BROUGHT THE FLUTE FROM INDIA, WHEN I VISITED. SO, A LOT MORE HOURS WENT INTO BUILDING THIS CONCEPT AND IT WILL BE GENERATIONS TO ENJOY THIS SCULPTURE IN THE CITY OF CARMEL. THANK YOU, AGAIN, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. >> JUST TO ADD, BEFORE QUESTIONS, SO, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS PAYING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS ART. THE CRC, WE'RE REQUESTING THE CRC CONTRIBUTE $152,000 PLUS SHIPPING FOR THIS ART. AND I'LL NOTE THAT'S A PLACE HOLDER BENCH, THE ACTUAL BENCH THAT WE'LL USE IS ONE OF OUR TRADITIONAL CARMEL BENCHES. SO, THIS WILL BE A LIVELY EXTENSION OF OUR LIVING MUSEUM, THAT ADDS DIVERSITY TO OUR, UM, OFFERINGS, AND AS A NICE LIKE YOU SAID, A SELFIE SPOT AND CONTINUES TO CELEBRATE OUR CITY. AND EITHER OF US ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. >>> QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? >> RAJU, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. I THINK THAT WE NEED TO PROBABLY MAKE THE COMMISSION AWARE THAT THIS DID GO BEFORE THE PUBLICA ART COMMITTEE AND YOU WERE THERE AND EXPLAINED THE PIECE TO THE COMMITTEE. AND SO, THAT VOTE CAME BACK NEGATIVE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD THAT OR NOT. BUT, DOLL EITHER ONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT THE COMMITTEE'S ISSUE WAS OR WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU WERE ASKED OR WHAT CAUSED AN 8-1 NEGATIVE VOTE? >> I THINK IT MIGHT, THANK YOU, IN MY PERCEPTION, WHAT I PERCEIVED DURING THE MEETING AND I ANSWERED, I THINK, SEVERAL QUESTIONS. I THINK AGAINST SE W SEWARD JOHNSON STATUE THES THAT WE HAVE IN CARMEL. THEY WANTED CONTEMPORARY ART. AND FOR ME, CONTEMPORARY ART IS DRAWING SOMETHING OR PUTTING IN METAL [00:20:04] PIECES OR SOMETHING WOULD NOT BRING A LIVE ENVIRONMENT TO THE STATUES, OR THESE THINGS. THAT WAS MY ANSWER. BUT, THEY ALL AGREED ON SEVERAL THINGS EXCEPT FOR THE QUESTION WAS HOW LONG WILL WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS SEWARD JOHNSON STATUES. >> AND WOULD YOU SHARE WITH THE COMMISSION AND FOR A ANY PUBLIC THAT MAY BE WATCHING, WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION OF CREATING A PIECE OF ART THAT CENTERED AROUND INDIANINDIAN CULTURE, AN INDIAN HERITAGE? . THE STORY THAT I HEARD WAS THAT THE CITY WAS APPROACHED BY AN ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING INDIAN HERITAGE, APPROACHED THE MAYOR AND THE MAYOR FELT LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO EXPAND OUR COLLECTION. >> IT WAS A CASUAL CONVERSATION. I'M IN THE CITY FOR A LONG TIME. THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COMB COMMISSIONS I SIT ON, BUT, IT WAS A CASUAL TALK WITH THE MAYOR TO HAVE A STATUE THAT REPRESENTS THE INDIAN HERITAGE AND IT ALL STARTED BY LOOKING AT SEVERAL OTHER IDEAS. BUT, EVEN THIS ONE, I THINK SOMEBODY SAID JUST ONE MAN AND WOMAN ARE HAVING EVEN A MAHATMA GANDHI, THAT WAS TOO MUCH BUT MANY BELIEVED THIS WAS A FAMILY DEPICTION OF A STATUE. >> I TRUST THAT YOU ARE CO COMFORTABLE WITH THE REPRESENTATION OF THIS PIECE OF ART TO REFLECT INDIAN HERITAGE, WE ALL KNOW THAT SEWARD JOHNSON DEPICTS A TIME FROM THE PAST, I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT'S THE '70S OR THE '80S AND I FIND THAT PEOPLE THAT LOVE THE SEWARD JOHNSON'S, AND HATE THE PALLADIUM. OR LOVE THE SEWARD AND HATES THE MONAN. IT WAS A CHOICE OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE EXECUTIVE WHO HAPPENED TO BE VOTED IN AT THAT TIME, AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXPENSE OF IT. SO, AS LONG AS YOU ARE ASSURING ME THAT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATION OF INDIAN CULTURE, I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS. >> YES. WE WENT THROUGH A PROCESS, WE ASKED SOME PEOPLE LOCALLY HERE, ALSO, ONE OF MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO IS WELL-KNOWN HERE. SHE WAS A COMMITTEE MEMBER. WE TOOK WE ASKED SEVERAL MODELS AND WE ADVERTISED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA, SO, IT WAS EASY TO TAKE PICTURES. WE CHANGED THREE OR FOUR MODELS, THE COSTUMES, WE CHANGED MANY TIMES, THE SARI IS THE WOMEN IN INDIA, NOT SO MUCH NOW, BUT, THEY'VE ALWAYS REPRESENTED COSTUME FOR INDIAN ONE WOMEN. AND THIS, UM, REPRESENTS, ALSO, THERE IS SOMETHING THEY'RE CELEBRATED TO GO OR, LIKE, WE HOST A FESTIVAL THE DIWALI, WHICH IS THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS ALL OVER INDIA, THEY CELEBRATE. IF YOU LOOKED AT THAT PICTURE, IF WE WERE HOSTING A DIWALI AT PALLADIUM, OR IF THERE'S AN INDIAN CONCERT, THERE'LL ALWAYS BE HERE, AND THERE'LL BE INDIAN CONCERT. IT'S A REPRESENTATION OF ALL OVER INDIA, NOT JUST ONE STATE. >> THANK YOU. AND I ONLY MAKE THAT STATEMENT BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE. BUT, I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. >>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AT THIS POINT, I DID HAVE ONE BRIEF QUESTION, HENRY, MAY BE YOU CAN ANSWER. DO YOU KNOW THE RELATIVE SIDE OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITY NOW IN CARMEL? >> I WOULD SAY, 10% POPULATION. [00:25:02] I KNOW GENERALLY 30% OF CARMEL HOUSE HOLDS SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH, SOUTHEAST ASIAN COMMUNITIES IS LARGE. >> WE DON'T HAVE THE STATS, BUT, THERE'S A LARGE POPULATION. BECAUSE, I LIVED IN INDIANAPOLIS FOR 30 YEARS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE MOVED FROM THERE TO CARMEL. >> VERY GOOD. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COMMISSIONERS, IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OF APPROVAL. >> IS MOTION TO APPROVE CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE CONTRACT FOR THE SCULPTURE. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >>> I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, WOULD YOU CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE. >> PRESIDENT HAMMER? >> AYE. >> VICE-PRESIDENT BOWERS? >> AYE. >> SECRETARY BROOKS? >> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER MORALE? >> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER SISSINA. >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, IT IS APPROVED. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS ART SOON. >> AS SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY, I'LL ADD THAT THE LAST TIME THAT THIS COMMISSION VOTED TO APPROVE A SEWARD JOHNSON STATUES, AND COMPLETE THE MUSICIAN STATUES IN FRONT OF THE PALLADIUM, THETHE ART REVIE COMMITTEE IN THEIR COMMENTS, ALSO VOICED THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THE CITY ISORY SATURATED WITH THE SEWARD JOHNSON STATUES. AND THEY'RE ENTITLED TO THAT OPINION, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE MAYOR'S VISION EARLY ONTO BECOME A DESTINATION TO BE A LIVING MUSEUM OF THIS KIND OF ART. AND, I DO BELIEVE THAT IT BRINGS IN PEOPLE AND I'M NOT SURE THERE'S A, I'M NOT SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERY NEW STATUE IS SOME SORT OF NEGATIVE OR PROVIDES ONLY SOME SORT OF MARGINAL BENEFIT, I SEE PICTURE IN FRONT OF ALL THE STATUES, THE GUY READING THE NEWSPAPER ON MAIN STREET, PEOPLE TAKE PICTURES OF THAT ONE AS THE LADY WALKING THE DOG. ALL WE'RE DOING HERE IS CONTINUE, WE'VE HEARD CRITICISM, IF YOU HEAR CRITICISM ABOUT THE SEWARD JOHNSON IS THAT THE STATUES ARE NOT AS DIVERSITY AS WOULD REFLECT CARMEL'S COMMUNITY. AND SO, IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE LAST FEW STATUES WE'VE BEEN OBTAINING, THE LITTLE AFRICAN-AMERICAN GIRL BY THE STOP SIGN ON MAIN STREET, IT'S THE INDIAN FAMILY. IT'S THE OTHER ONE WITH THE HALF THE MUSICIANS IN FRONT OF THE PALLADIUM ARE AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSICIANS. THERE'S AN ASIAN LADY STATUE GOING IN ON MAIN STREET, SO, WE'RE JUST CONTINUING LIVING SEWARD JOHNSON MUSEUM AND WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THE STATUE REFLECTS WHAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS LIKE. AND THAT IS A MISSION THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, HAS BEEN ON SINCE IT'S INCEPTION, LONG BEFORE THE ART REVIEW COMMITTEE WAS CREATED. >>> THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT WE MOVE ONTO OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM [7e. Action Item #4 – Resolution 2023-18 re: contribution to Clay Township for Historical Society project] WHICH IS ACTION ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CLAY TOWNSHIP HISTORIC SOCIETY PROJECT $350,000. $347,375 WOULD COME FROM THE 2021 TIF BOND FUNDS AND $2,625 COMING FROM 902 FUNDS. MR. DIRECTOR? >> IF YOU REMEMBER, WE THIS COMMISSION PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ABOUT A MILLION AND $45,000, TOWARDS THE CARMEL CLAY HISTORIC SOCIETY HEADQHEADQUARTERS AND M IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TOWNSHIP AND, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE TOWNSHIP TO ENSURE THAT THIS PROJECT ACTUALLY HAPPENS AS COSTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CONTINUE TO RISE. SO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED DO IS INVITE DEBBIE GANGSTEAD, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CARMEL PLANNING HISTORIC SOCIETY AND TEACHER TO HALF THE CARMEL STUDENTS AT SOME POINT, JUST TO GIVE A GENERAL UPDATE ON THE PROJECT. >>> THANK YOU, FOR HAVING ME. OUR, UM, ORGANIZATION IS WORKED [00:30:06] LITERALLY DECADES TO GET THIS MUSEUM GOING AND WE THOUGHT IN 2020 WHEN WE GOT FUNDING WE WERE ON THE ROAD. WE HAD NO IDEA IN JANUARY 2020 HOW LONG THIS WAS GOING TO TAKE. BUT, WE'RE STILL PERSISTENT. WHEN THE LAST GROUP -- YOU WERE SO GENEROUS TO HELP US EARLIER AND WE'RE SO APPRECIATE THAT, BUT PART OF THAT WAS TO GO TO INTERIOR, AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE SET, BUT, NOW, ACTUALLY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE AN INTERIOR, IF WE DON'T GET THE EXTERIOR BUILT. SO, NOW WE'RE ASKING TO TAKE THE FUNDS, $350,000, ABOUT, AND PUT THOSE TOWARDS THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING AND THEN WE WILL DILIGENTLY WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN INTERIOR, THAT NOT ONLY YOU ARE PROUD OF, BUT THAT WE'RE PROUD OF AS WELL AND SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY CAN ENJOY. IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION, I'M HAPPY TO TRY AND GIVE IT TO YOU >>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR DEBBIE ABOUT THIS? >> WELL, I MAY BE OUT OF THE LOOP, SO, I APOLOGIZE IF EVERYONE KNOWS THIS. BUT, WAS THERE A SHORTAGE ON THE EX-TIER OF THE $350,000? >> WELL, OUR FIRST ROUND OF BIDS WE WERE SHORT $3 MILLION. SO, WE TWEAKED OUR PROJECT, NOT THE FOOT PRINT, NECESSARILY, BUT, WE TWEAKED IT A BIT. AND WHEN THE SECOND ROUND CAME AT THE END OF MARCH, WE WERE 450 SHORT. SO, YOUR 350 AND $100,000 FROM OUR GROUP WILL FILL THAT GAP SO THAT WE COULD HAVE A GROUND-BREAKING AND GET STARTED. AND REALLY DILIGENTLY DO OUR FUNDRAISING, AND MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE INTERIOR. >> GOT IT, SO, BY DOING THIS, WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS, THEN, ON THE FUNDRAISING SO THERE IS NO MONEY, WE'RE NOT PAYING SOMETHING LATER OR WE HAV TO START FROM ZERO NOW FROM OUR INTERIOR, AND I DON'T MEAN WE, BUT, YOU, SOMEBODY. >> WELL, WE WOULDN'T BE STARTING FROM ZERO, BUT, WE'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FUNDRAISING AND HAVE BEEN GRANTED AWARDS THAT HAVE HELPED US TO GET HALFWAY TO OUR INITIAL GOAL. BUT, EVERYTHING WE HAVE GONE FORWARD WITH HAS RAISED IN PRICE. IT'S JUST THE WAY THAT IT IS. >> THAT'S THE REALITY. >> BUT, WE'VE GOT A PLAN ON HOW WE CAN STILL GET IT DONE. >> OKAY. AND IS THERE A FUNDRAISER THAT WE NEED TO BROADCAST? ANYTHING ON THE BOOKS? >> WE HAVE A FUNDRAISER NEARLY EVERY MONTH. >> WHAT'S THE NEXT ONE? >> WELL, THE NEXT ONE IS THE GARDEN TOUR IN JUNE. AND THEN, WE'LL HAVE THE GREAT SQUIRREL STAMPEDE, BUT, MORE THAN THAT, WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD TO GO TO INDIVIDUALS AND TO THIS POINT, WE PROBABLY HAVE ONLY MET WITH UM, OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN BOARD, OUR, UM, HISTORIC SOCIETY BOARD WHOSE BEEN 100% BEHIND FUNDRAISING ON IT. A FEW MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. SO, WE WILL BE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOORS VERY SOON. >> THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. >> YEAH. >> SO, IF I CAN JUST CLARIFY ON THAT. SO, WE PREVIOUSLY FUNDED A MILLION $42,000 OF THIS, AND THE STAFF WAS HOLDING BACK ABOUT $350,000 FROM THE 2021 TIF BOND TO ASSIST WITH SOME OF THE INTERIOR WORK. NOW, SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT TO YOU A LITTLE LATER ON. REALIZING THAT, UM, THERE'S NO INTERIOR IF THERE'S NO PROJECT. WITH DEBBIE'S REQUEST, WE NOW WOULD LIKE TO USE THE ENTIRETY OF THAT MONEY TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROJECT GETS BUILT KNOWING GENERALLY THAT FUNDRAISING TRULY, IT'S SUFFICIENT TO KICK OFF FUNDRAISING, UNTIL THE FIRST BRICK IS LAID. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT ONCE THIS PROJECT BEGINS CONSTRUCTION, FUNDRAISING CAN REALLY TAKE OFF, AND THAT'S REALLY THE KEY HERE, IS TO START THIS PROJECT. SO, THIS PREVIOUS FUNDS WE WERE HOLDING BACK IN THE 2021 TIF BOND THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE FOR INTERIOR, THE REQUEST NOW IS TO USE THAT TO GET THIS PROJECT STARTED. >> I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ACTION ITEM NUMBER 4 WHICH IS RESOLUTION 2023-18 WHICH IS THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE CLAY TOWNSHIP HISTORIC SOCIETY IN THE AMOUNT OF $375,000. >> I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. [00:35:09] >> IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND IT HAS BEEN SECONDED. WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. >> PRESIDENT HAMMER? >> AYE. >> VICE-PRESIDENT BOWERS? >> AYE. >> SECRETARY BROOKS? >> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER MORALE? >> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER CISSINA? >> AYE. >> I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT ABOUT THE STEWARD JOHNSON SCULPTURES, YOU KNOW THE ONE WHERE THE LADIES CARRYING THE BAG ON JOE'S MEAT MARKET I'VE HAD THREE CHILDREN WHEN WE WALK BY, IS THAT YOU? I'M GOING TO GET THAT WOMAN A NEW DO. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE NOW MOVING [7f. Action Item #5 – Resolution 2023-19 re: authorizing advance payments] ONTO OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM WHICH IS ACTION ITEM FIVE WHICH IS RESOLUTION 2023-19 AUTHORIZING ADVANCED PAYMENTS ON PUBLIC PROJECTS. MR. DIRECTOR? >> THANK YOU, SO, BASICALLY, THE STATE PASSED A NEW LAW, STATE IS IT STATUTE, PREVIOUSLY PUBLIC PROJECTS, UM, WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ADVANCEMENTS AHEAD OF TIME. WHICH MADE, UM, LIFE, AT TIMES, DIFFICULT. IF YOU WOULD IMAGINE THIS PIECE OF ART. WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE, THEY'VE TAKEN PICTURES, ESSENTIALLY, A 3-D IMAGE OF THIS ART, AND THEN IT GOES TO GET CAST. LIKE, AT A FOUNDRY, SO, OUR CONTRACT IS WITH THE ARTIST, INCLUDING THE FOUNDRY, AND THE FOUNDRY SAYS, I'M NOT STARTING ANYTHING UNTIL WE START. BUT, STATE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO FORWARD MONEY AHEAD OF TIME. TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN DO THAT, IT'S DIFFICULT AND CUMBERSOME, SO, JUST IN TIME, THE STATE IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION CHANGED THE LAWS TO ALLOW WHEN DUE CARE IS BEING PAID AND ATTENTION IS BEING PAID TO HAVE THIS STUFF DONE TO HAVE THESE ADVANCED PAYMENTS REALLY, IN SITUATIONS LIKE THESE. SO, IN ORDER TO ENABLE US TO AVAIL OURSELVES OF WHAT STATE STATUTE, IT REQUIRES THE LEGISLATIVE BODY THAT WOULD BE SPENDING THE MONEY ESSENTIALLY AUTHORIZE THESE ACTIONS AHEAD OF TIME. I BELIEVE A SIMILAR RESOLUTION WILL BE COMING FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AT A LATER DATE. BUT, THIS WOULD ALLOW CITY STAFF TO, UM, WHEN NEEDED. I MEAN, WE GENERALLY DON'T LIKE TO MAKE ADVANCE PAYMENTS. WE GENERALLY DON'T. BUT, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT MAKES SENSE AND IT'S GOOD THAT THE STATE STATUTE NOW ALLOWS THAT. SO, WE WOULD REQUEST THIS GENERAL AUTHORIZATION TO USE THAT WHEN IT MAKES SENSE IN FUTURE PURPOSES. >>> THANK YOU, MR. DIRECTOR, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RESOLUTION? SEEING NONE, IF IT'S THE PLEASURE OF THE COMMISSION, CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OF APPROVAL. >> MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2023-19 AUTHORIZING THE ADVANCED PAYMENT ON PUBLIC PROJECTS. >>> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER, IS THERE A SECOND. >> SECOND. >> IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. >> WOULD YOU PLEASE, CALL THE ROLL. >> PRESIDENT HAMMER? >> AYE. >> VICE-PRESIDENT BOWERS? >> AYE. >> SECRETARY BROOKES? >> AYE. COMMISSIONER? >> AYE. >> COMMISSIONER CISSINA. >> AYE. [7g. Action Item #6 – Palladium lighting equipment contract] >> NOW WE MOVE TO ACTION ITEM 6 APPROVAL OF THIS CONTRACT WITH INDIANAPOLIS STAGE SALES AND RENTALS TO PROVIDE FOR PALLADIUM LIGHTING EQUIPMENT. I SEE WE HAVE JEFF FROM THE PALLADIUM HERE. JEFF, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO, UM. >> I'M HAPPY TO HANDLE THIS ONE IF YOU WOULD LIKE. >> OKAY. HENRY, OF COURSE, CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS ON IT IN ABSENCE OF THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR THIS EVENING. SO... >> SO, WE'RE WORKING WITH THE PALLADIUM, ESSENTIALLY ON TWO PROJECTS, ONE IT LIGHTING, AND THE SECOND ONE IS A PA SYSTEM IN REPLACEMENT OF SPEAKERS. THE SPEAKERS PORTION WE'LL TALK ABOUT JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER, BUT, THIS RELATES TO THE LIGHTING. WE'RE ESSENTIALLY REPLACING THE LIGHTING BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO REPLACE IT, IT'S BEEN 11 OR 12 YEARS AND IT'S [00:40:03] TIME TO REPLACE THE LIGHTING, AND SO, THIS IS A CONTRACT THAT THE CRC WILL ENTER INTO WITH INDIANAPOLIS STAGESTAGE SALES A RENTALS JEFF, STIEG, THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PALLADIUM WILL BE OUR REP ON THE PROJECT. THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY IS FOR JUST THE MATERIALS AND, UM, THE PALLADIUM IT STAFF WILL BE DOING THE INSTALL WHEN IT MAKES SENSE TO DO THE INSTALL. AND WE AGREED WITH THE PALLADIUM STAFF, WE GOT SEVERAL BIDS, WE REVIEWED THEM, AND THIS WAS THE BEST DEAL AND THE BEST EQUIPMENT. AND, SO, WE WOULD REQUEST APPROVAL OF THIS, THE OTHER THING WORTH NOTING IS THAT, UM, THESE COME ALSO OUT OF 2021 TIF BONDS THAT ARE SIMILAR REQUIRED A CITY COUNCIL VOTE TO APPROVE AND CITY COUNCIL HAS VOTED TO APPROVE THIS IN CONCEPT IN THE PAST. >> VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. MR. DIRECTOR, QUESTIONS OF THE DIRECTOR OR MR. STIEG, WHO IS HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PALLADIUM THIS AFTERNOON.
