[4. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT]
APPROVED. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM WHICH IS THE EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR'S REPORT. MR. DIRECTOR. >> (INAUDIBLE) GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS, HENRY, REDEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. I'LL GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON OUR ACTIVITIES FOR HASTE MONTH. LOTS OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON, INCLUDING BOTH ON THE WREN AND WINDSOR CITY CERTAINTY. THE LAUNCH
[00:05:03]
CONTINUES TO GET BUILT OUT, THAT'S AN OLDER PICTURE BECAUSE THERE'S MASONRY IN THAT BUILDING AT THIS POINT. WE'RE MAKING QUICK PROGRESS ON THE PROJECT. THE MAGNOLIA PROJECT, LATELY, YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT THE ELEVATOR TOWER ON THE FIRST OF THESE STACKED FLATS UNIT SUNSHINE UP AND THE FRAMING IS UP AS WELL.THOSE ARE MOVING FORWARD QUICKLY AND I THINK THEY'VE BEEN SELLING WELL. SOMEHOW STILL MADE IT TO 116 IN RANGE LENGTH WITH YOUR VEHICLE ONE OF THESE DAYS.
YOU YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON ON THE CORNER PROJECT. ON KITE. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, THE SIGNATURE NOW HAS THE STEEL BEAMS UP FOR THE TOWER ELEMENTS AS PART OF THE PROJECT THAT REALLY LET'S YOU SEE THE SCALE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES ON THAT ONE. THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION IS ALSO MAKING FAST PROGRESS ON THE NEW CIVIC SQUARE PARKING GARAGE. AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE CROSSING CONSTRUCTION WITH THE NEW REPUBLIC HEADQUARTERS IS MOVING FORWARD. THE SITE NORTH OF THE KROGER HAS BEGUN THE DEMOLITION ON THE WALGREEN'S BUILDING THERE NOW. IT'S FENCED AND DEMO HAS STARTED. SO, WE'RE NOT SLOWING DOWN. A DESIGN CONTINUES TO BE UNDERWAY FOR THE NEW HOME OF THE CARMEL CLAY HISTORIC CALL SOCIETY. WE ARE PORTENERING WITH THE TOWNSHIP USING 2022 TIFF BONDS FROM CITY COUNCIL TO HELP THIS PROJECT AND THE NEW FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LATER TODAY. SO, THIS PROJECT'S GOING TO BE STARTING PROBABLY IN SEPTEMBER. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. CITY COUNCIL ON MONDAY APPROVED BONDS FOR FOUR NEW PROJECTS. FIRST ONE BEING THE AAT REDEVELOPMENT SITE THAT'S HOME THAT INCLUDES AN 80,000 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION. THEY HAVE OFFICES AROUND THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING IN NEW YORK BUT THEY CHOSE TO EXPAND THEIR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN CARMEL.
THIS HAS BOUTIQUE SPACE, AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND FREE PARKING AND REPLACES AN OLD ATT WAREHOUSE THAT'S NOT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN THE CITY. SO, THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING PROJECT. THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SIGNATURE PROJECT WE JUST DISCUSSED, THE OLD MERIDIAN MAIN. I'M SURE THAT HE WILL COME UP WITH A BETTER NAME BUT THIS IS A NEAT PROJECT, APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL, $75 MILLION INVESTMENT. AND THIS PROJECT HAS THE MOST FOR SALE UNITS THAT WE'VE EVER GOTTEN AS PART OF AN APARTMENT PROJECT. 20 UNITS THAT ARE GOING IF YOU SEE THAT LOWER, THE LOWER PICTURE ON THE SCREEN, THOSE ARE FOR SALE STACKED CONDOS THAT FACE MAIN STREET, AND THE VIEW FROM THE ROUNDABOUT WILL HAVE A NICE PLAZA WITH RETAIL FACING IT AND WITH REALLY BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE. SO, THAT PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD.
JUST SOUTH OF THE WATER TOWER, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A $55 MILLION PROJECT CALLED THE CONCOURSE AND THAT'S OUR FIRST MAJOR WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECT, ABOUT 24% OF THE UNITS WILL BE WORKFORCE HOUSING WHICH IS EXCITING. AND BACK OVER TO OLD MERIDIAN MAIN, THIS IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER MULTIFAMILY PROJECT WITH 10 CONDO UNITS ON THE ROOF. AND THAT LAND TODAY PAYS ABOUT $120 IN TAXES PER YEAR AND ONCE THIS PROJECT IS BUILT, IT'S GOING TO PAY ALMOST $800,000 IN TAXES PER YEAR. IT'S A GOOD WAY TO INCREASE OUR ASSESS VALUE IN THE CITY. BUT, ALSO BRING VIBRANTSY TO THE OLD MERIDIAN AREA. AND WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMISSIONERS MAY HAVE. >> COMMISSIONERS, ANY
QUESTIONS OF THE DIRECTOR? >> MR. DIRECTOR, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, I NOTICED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF MANY OF THESE PROJECTS IT'S TALKING ABOUT USING DEVELOPER B-BACKED
[00:10:11]
BOND. WHAT DOES THAT TERM MEAN AND DOES THE CITY HAVE LIABILITY FOR THOSE?>> THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE FREQUENT COMMENTATOR CITIZEN THAT JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. THE BONDS FOR THESE PROJECTS IT, ISSUED BY THE CITY, THAT'S ESSENTIALLY, THE CITY'S ONLY ROLE. THE BONDS WILL BE PAID BY THE TAXES, THE FUTURE TAXES, THE 25 YEARS OF FUTURE TAXES PAID BY THE PROJECTS THEMSELVES. THEY REPAY THE BOND THAT'S USUALLY USED TO PAY FOR THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE IN ALL FOUR CASES OF THESE PROJECTS, IT'S THE GARAGES THAT WE KEEP PUBLIC THAT MAKE THE PROJECTS VIABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF SOMEHOW THE TAXES WHICH ARE ESTIMATED AREN'T ENOUGH TO COVER THE EXPECTED BOND PAYMENTS, THE DEVELOPER'S JUST OUT OF LUCK ON THAT. NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE TAX PAYERS HAVE ANY OBLIGATIONS.
SEIBELLY, THE CITY'S OBLIGATION, IS TO WHEN THE COUNTY COLLECTS THE TAXES, CERTAIN TAXES FLOW TO THE COUNTY BASE, THE INCREMENTAL TAXES COME TO US, AND WE PAY IT OVER ON THE BOND. SO, IF THE BUILDING BURNS DOWN AND THERE ARE NO TAXES, THEN NOTHING GETS PAID ON THE BONDS. IT'S A WAY TO CONTINUE TO BRING PUBLIC AMENITIES LIKE FREE PARKING. ALL AT NO COST TO THE CITY OR THE TAX PAYERS. SO, THAT GENERALLY IS A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT WE CALL DEVELOPER BONDS OR DEVELOPER-BACKED BONDS. EACH OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE DISCUSSED TODAY, ARE THOSE KINDS OF PROJECTS.
>> THANK YOU, MR. DIRECTOR, I APPRECIATE THAT EXPLANATION. ANY OTHER
[5. COMMITTEE REPORTS]
QUESTIONS FOR THE DIRECTOR AT THIS POINT? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ONTO COMMITTEEREPORTS AND BEGIN WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. >> MR. BOWERS.
>> WE DID NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC FINANCES COMMITTEE BUT WE SIT IN EVERY MONTH ON THE CARMEL UPDATE WHICH IS DOING WELL AND WE HAVE ADEQUATE RESERVES AND
NOTHING ELSE TO REPORT ON THAT. >> THANK YOU.
>> AND MOVE ON TO THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, MR. BROOKS?
>> WE DID NOT MEET THIS PAST MONTH BUT WITH ALL THE GREAT PROJECTS BEING
APPROVED, I'M ASSUMING WE'LL GET BUSY REAL QUICK. >> VERY GOOD. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON, IS THERE ANY OLD BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE US THIS EVENING, MR. DIRECTOR?
[7m. Action Item #9 – Civic Square Garage art contract]
>> THERE'S NOT. >> OKAY. WE WILL MOVE ONTO NEW BUSINESS, AND UNLESS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAS AN OBJECTIONS I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ONTO ITEM NUMBER 9 WHICH IS CIVIC SQUARE GARAGE ART CONTRACT TO OUR NEXT ORDER BUSINESS OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM, OUR PRESENTER FOR THIS IS NOT MAKE HER LISTEN TO ALL OF OUR GOINGS

AND AS PART OF THAT, YOU COULD ALREADY SEE THIS UP IF YOU WALK AROUND IT. THERE ARE ALCOVES LIT ALCOVES FOR FUTURE ART. AND IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY, COMMISSIONERS, IS A CONTRACT FOR THAT ART BEING TWO SETS OF MOSAICS BY LOCAL CARMEL BASED ARTIST, NANCY KEATING. I'D LIKE TO INVITE NANCY UP HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE INSPIRATION FOR
THE ART. >> >> WELL, THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR HAVING ME HERE. I'M THRILLED. EVEN TO BE CONSIDERED, TO HAVE MY ART IN MY HOMETOWN, IT'S JUST THE CRAZIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD. IT'S WONDERFUL.
WELL, I LOVE MY DESIGN, I'VE ENTITLED THIS DESIGN, COSMIC IT REPRESENTS THE ENDLESS ENERGY IN THE UNIVERSE, YOU COULD SEE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM THERE'S NO BEGIN ARE OR END, IT'S INFINITE. THE BRIGHT COLORS ARE INTENDED TO FLOW THROUGH THE BLACK
[00:15:06]
SPACE. THE DESIGN IS INTENTIONALLY CRISP, AND CLEAN, I KEPT IN MIND THAT THE VIEWER, THE VANTAGE POINT WILL BE FROM AFAR. PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT FROM THE GAZEBO, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THIS WILL BE SEEN UP CLOSE, IT'S MORE OF A CONTEMPORARY AESTHETIC. IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE FOLK ART. EVERYTHING IS CONSTRUCTED FROM GLASS I'M A GLASS ARTIST AND I WILL SOURCE MY SMATERIALS FROM INDIANA. THE BACKGROUND GLASS IS BLACK AND IT WILL BE EVER CHANGING AS THE LIGHT CHANGES. AS THE CLOUD COMES OVER THE MORNING OR EVENING, IT HAS AN IRIDESCENT FINISH. IT WILL HAVE DIFFERENT LOOKS WITH THE LIGHT REFLECTIVITY.THAT IS IMPORTANT. AND THERE'S A LOT OF CONTRAST, WHICH IS PART OF MY STYLE, CONTRAST BETWEEN THE DARK AND THE BRIGHT. AND THEN I'M ADDING THE SPEARS OR ORBS WILL BE BRIGHT, AND S SHIMMERING WHITE AND THEY
WILL APPEAR TO BE FLOATING IN SPACE. QUESTIONS? >> QUESTIONS,
COMMISSIONERS? >> I HAVE A COMMENT BEFORE MY QUESTION, NANCY IT'S
GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU ARE, I'M THRILLED THAT YOU ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT. YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT ADVOCATE OF THE
