THE FIRST IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIVIC SQUARE PARKING GARAGE. IF YOU RECALL, THIS IS A PROJECT THAT WAS DESIGNED BUILT CONTRACT WITH THE GUARANTIED MAXIMUM PRICE. THE REASON WE'RE PURSUING A CHANGE ORDER ON THIS PROJECT IS THAT THERE ARE TWO ART NICHES ON THE GARAGE WHICH WE HADN'T ANTICIPATED AT THE TIME OF BIDDING WOULD BE GLASS MOSAIC. AND SO, IN ORDER TO HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION FIRM DESIGN, FABRICATE AND INSTALL THE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE GLASS MOSAIC, WE HAVE THIS CHANGE ORDER. THE SECOND CHANGE ORDER IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TARKIGTON GARAGE REPAIR PROJECT AND THIS IS THE INSTALLATION PROCESS ON THE TRAFFIC MEMBRANE, THERE WAS ROUGH AREAS OF THE SLAB THAT REQUIRED A SECOND COAT OF THE TRAFFIC MEMBRANE SO WE NEEDED

THIS THERE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE TWO CHANGE ORDERS? IF NOT, THE CHAIR ENTERTAINS A MOTION OF

[4. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT]

[00:05:03]

>> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. SCREEN PLEASE. OKAY. LOTS OF STUFF GOING ON THROUGOUT THE CITY. PLAYING OR HOLLAND IS FINISHED AND LEASING OUT. THE REM CONTINUES CONSTRUCTION, SAME WITH THE WINDSOR. PRISINIUM JUST OPENED RIGHT NEXT TO THAT BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART. MALANGE IS FLYING FORWARD, AND THE UNITS THEY HAVE LEFT, THEY HAVE NOT PLACED ON THE MARKET YET. IT'S NICE TO HAVE A PROOF OF CONCEPT IN THE CENTER OF OUR CITY THAT SHOWS DEVELOPERS, THIS KIND OF PROJECT WORKS. FIRST ON MAIN, A BEAM SIGNING CEREMONY A FEW WEEKS AGO. THAT PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD. IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT WHEN IT'S FINISHED, I PROMISE. MAGNOLIA'S MOVING FORWARD. LOTS OF PROGRESS ON THE CORNER, BOTH FROM KITE, BUCKINGHAM AND CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, THAT'S TOTALLY MAKING THAT INTERSECTION. SAME WITH THE SIGNATURE. LOTS OF PROGRESS HAPPENING THERE. AS WE JUST AS DEPUTY DIRECTOR FAIRMAN JUST MENTIONED, TCIVIC SQUARE GARAGE, THE IMAGE OF THE GLASS MOSAICS. THAT GARAGE IS NOW OPEN. HAMLIN CROSSING IS MOVING FORWARD. THOSE ARE THE UNDER CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. I WANTED TO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO DISCUSS THE PROJECTS INTRODUCED AT CITY COUNCIL MONDAY. I SPENT TIME DISCUSSING IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL THAT BOTH THE NEW PROJECTS INTRODUCED ARE DEVELOPER BACKED BONDS WITH NO TAXPAYER RISK TO THEM. THE FIRST INTRODUCED WAS 111 AND PENN, THAT'S THE SITE PLAN THAT I SHOWED THE COUNCIL, ONE OF THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPER PROPOSALS FOR THAT SITE. THIS WAS SHOWN AT THE TIME THAT COUNCIL AND PLANNED COMMISSION REZONED THIS PAR SET TO 2 ZONING. AND IT IS IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE PLAN THAT HEAD CORE PUT TOGETHER.

THIS HAS BEEN IN ALL OF THE PAPERS, IT'S MADE IT ON THE NEWS, IT'S JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. OFFICES ALONG PENN, PARKED IN THE SAME GARAGE AS THE RESIDENTIAL AROUND THERE. A FOOTBALL-FIELD SIZED PLAZA WITH A TV AND AN AUDITORIUM? AMPHITHEATER LIKE SETTING. A FOUNTAIN, LINED WITH RETAIL. YOU HAVE APARTMENTS, BETWEEN THE HOMES AND THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THESE ARE FOR-SALE TOWN HOMES. AND, A 12.5% OF THIS PROJECT OF THE MULTIFAMILY WILL BE AFFORDABLE, WORKFORCE HOUSING. THERE'S, AGAIN, THE SHOT OF THE PLAZA. ARCHITECTURE, THIS WAS DISCUSSED AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING A LOT, THE EXACT DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TOWN HOMES AND THE ADJACENT HOMES IN WATERWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THERE'S A LOFT DISTANCE BETWEEN THOSE. PICKLER, HAD A MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORS WHERE 40-50 CAME, AND NOBODY CAME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING, WHICH MEANS THAT, UM, I THINK THE NEIGHBORS REALLY LOOKED UPON THIS AS A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT. PLAYGROUND, BOULEVARDS, GENERALLY, THAT'S THE PROJECT. THE OTHER PROJECT WE INTRODUCED WAS THE SQUARE NORTH, I HAD A CHANCE TO DISCUSS WITH COUNCIL ABOUT THE LONG-TERM PLANNING THAT THE CRC HAS BEEN DOING ON THIS SITE, SENSE WE BROUGHT IN SPECK AND MIDTOWN IN 2012 AND GAL IN 2016. AND WE WENT BACK TO SPECK TO PLAN OUT HOW TO REDEVELOP AND BROUGHT INTO THE STREET GRID, AND ADJACENT PARCELS CAN LOOK. FOR REFERENCE, THIS IS THE TUNNEL RIGHT HERE. SO, WHAT YOU SEE ABOVE THAT IS THE EXPANDED 140 FOOT. EASIER TO SEE I WILL INTERROGATION OF THE PROJECT.

AND WE'RE FOCUSSING ON NORTHERN HALF HERE. THESE GO PARCELS. JC HART WILL BE THE DEVELOPER.

THEY'RE A LONG TIME CARMEL DEVELOPER. THEY HAVE A LOT OF UNITS. A REALLY NEAT PROJECT.

[00:10:01]

COMMISSIONERS MAY HAVE. >> QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS, FOR THE DIRECTOR?

>> SEEING NONE, MR. DIRECTOR, I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON BEING HONORED LAST WEEK OF THE 37 UNDER 36, AND BEING ONE OF THOSE AND REPRESENTING THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, SO,

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOU. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, WE'LL MOVE ONTO OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS. AND WE'LL MOVE TO THE

[5a. Architectural Review Committee]

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, COMMISSIONER BROOKS. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

THE ARCHITECT URAL REVIEW COMMITTEE MET EARLIER THIS EVENING. AND MS. GELESPIE PRESENTED TO US HER TEAM'S REVIEW OF THE BUILDING PLANS AND ELEVATIONS FOR THE CONCOURSE PROJECT, AND THAT'S A PET CORE PROJECT. AND WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THE DETAIL OF THE PRESENTATION BOTH BY PET CORE AND THANK YOU, MS. GILESPIE FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PRESENTATION.

THE REVIEW COMMITTEE REVIEWED THOSE PLANS CONTINGENT TO TWEAKING ON THE ARCHITECTURAL ENHANCEMENTS, A COUPLE OF MINER THINGS, A COUPLE OF SITE PLAN ENHANCEMENTS, AND, SOME DETAILS OF RELATED TO, CAMERAS LOCATED WITHIN CARMEL IT. WITH THAT, IF THOSE THINGS ARE TAKEN CARE

OF, IT WAS APPROVED. >> ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FOR COMMISSIONER

BROOKS. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. >> NOW, WE MOVE ONTO OLD BUSINESS. IS THERE ANY OLD BUSINESS COMING BEFORE US THIS EVENING?

[Additonal Item]

>> THERE IS NOT MR. PRESIDENT. >> THEN, MOVING ONTO NEW BUSINESS. AND OUR FIRST ORDER IS A OF IS A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A LEASE REGARDING THE REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ROAD BONDS AND WE HAVE OUR DISTINGUISHED BOND COUNCIL HERE, AND WE'RE GLAD TO SEE HIM. IF YOU WOULD GIVE US A BACKGROUND AND WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> GOOD EVENING, BRUCE DONALDSON, THIS IS A PROPOSED 63 -- NOT TO EXCEED $63 MILLION BOND THAT WOULD BE PAYABLE FROM A LEASE WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION. THIS IS A CITY-DRIVEN PROJECT, IT'S BEEN INITIATED BY MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL LEADERSHIP, THE COUNCIL INTRODUCED AN ORDER FOR THIS AT IT'S LAST MEETING. THE IDEA HERE IS TO FUND A NUMBER OF ROAD AND MULTIUSE PATH PROJECTS THE EXHIBIT A THAT I HANDED OUT TO YOU BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED IS THE EXHIBIT FROM THE COUNCIL ORDINANCE THAT LISTS THE CURRENT PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT'S IN THE COUNCIL ORDINANCE THAT'S BEEN INTRODUCED. AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE FIRST ONE IS THE MULTIUSE PATH PROJECT AS THE MAYOR PRESENTED THIS THE OTHER NIGHT AT COUNCIL, IT SEEMS LIKE THE FIRST PRIORITY IN COUNCIL, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IT IS TO START FILLING IN THE GAPS IN THE BIKE PATHS AND THE MULTIUSE PATH SYSTEMS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST SO THAT THERE CAN BE A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF THOSE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND YOU'LL SEE ON THE LIST, THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER ROAD PROJECTS AND ROUND ABOUT PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE FUNDED FROM THIS. THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE, YOU MAY RECALL, WE'VE DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WHERE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, A REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY COMMISSION LEASING STRUCTURE IS THE MOST CONVENIENT LEGAL STRUCTURE TO DO ROAD PROJECTS IN THE CITY. SO, YOU'RE REALLY EVEN THOUGH IT'S MOSTLY A CITY-DRIVEN PROJECT, THE ROLE OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND THE COMMISSION IS JUST TO HELP FACILITATE THAT THROUGH THIS FINANCING MECHANISM. THE LEASE PAYMENTS WOULD BE MADE VIA A PROPERTY TAX LEVEE, BUT IT'S DESIGNED SO THERE'S SIGNIFICANT INCREASES AND ASSESSED VALUES. YOU KNOW, PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING UP, UP, UP. AND IT'S BEEN

[00:15:07]

THE STATUE REQUIRES AND WE DID ADVERTISE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS LEASE, WHICH WE WOULD ASK YOU TO CONDUCT BEFORE TAKING CONSIDERATION OF THE RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE.

>> THANK YOU, MR. DONALDSON. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. DONALDSON AT THIS POINT? HEIDI, WAS THERE

ANYTHING THAT YOU WISHED TO ADD? >> (INDISCERNIBLE)

>> HEIDI IS WITH THE FIRM OF BAKER TILLY, AND THE MUNICIPAL ADVISOR AND FINANCE ADVISOR.

>> BRUCE COVERED IT WELL, I'M NOT SURE THAT I HAVE A WHOA WHOLE LOT TO ADD UNLESS YOU WANTED TO GET INTO THE NUMBERS THIS EVENING. BUT, THE BOND CURRENTLY IS STRUCTURED TO INFILL A TAX RATE DECREASE THAT IS ESSENTIALLY HAPPENING BECAUSE THE CITY'S NET ASSESSED VALUE HAS GONE UP 14% FROM PAY '22 TO PAY '23. TO KEEP THE CITY'S RATE THAT IT'S BEEN FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, THIS BOND ISSUE IS A PARAMOUNT OF $62 MILLION WILL IN FILL THAT RATE. IT'S A RATE OF $0.05 THAT'S NEEDED TO KEEP THE CITY'S TAX RATE LEVEL. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ALONG SIDE KIRK CUNROD, MAKING SURE THAT THAT STAYS WHERE IT'S AT AND THAT THERE'S FLEXIBILITY TO KEEP THAT RATE THERE AS WELL. IT'S A 20-YEAR BOND ISSUE, WHICH IS THE MAX PROPERTY TAX BOND ISSUE

RETURN THAT YOU COULD HAVE. >> VERY GOOD. QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, VERY MUCH FOR

YOUR INPUT AT THIS POINT. >> COMMISSIONER WARELL, ANY THOUGHTS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL

ON THIS MATTER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PASS ALONG TO US. >> WELL, I WOULD SAY THE DOLLAR VALUE OUT OF THE $63 MILLION JUST FOR THE MULTIUSE PATHS IS $25 MILLION. AND THAT WAS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE COUNCIL. THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOU KNOW, YOU'RE MOVING ALONG AND THERE'S A GAP AND WE TRY AND FILL IT IN WITH DEVELOPMENT, TRY AND FILL IT IN WIH NEW CONSTRUCTION, BUT, THERE ARE JUST CERTAIN PLACES WHERE THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OR IT COULD BE DECADE BEFORE IT HAPPENS. SO, THE MAYOR, HEARING THE WANTS OF THE COUNCILORS THAT WERE REALLY PUSHING THAT, CAME UP WITH THIS PLAN AND IF WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER CRITICAL AREAS LIKE THE 106 AND HAZELDELL IS A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. THIS $63 MILLION PROJECT IS REALLY, SOME MIGHT BE CRITICAL OF US FOR AN SBT FOR THAT $0.05, BUT THERE'S NO CHANGE IN THE TAX RATE. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF NEGATIVES IF WE DON'T DO IT AS FAR AS THE FUTURE DOLLARS AVAILABLE TO THE CITY. SO, WE'RE GOING TO HOPEFULLY, GOING TO COMMITTEE ON THIS ON

SEPTEMBER 28TH, AND WE'RE GOING TO DIG INTO THE DETAILS. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS AND, MR. DONALDSON TOUCHED ON IT, THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION DOES WORKING WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, WE HELP WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THESE ROAD BONDS. AND ROAD BONDS OF THIS NATURE AND I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A REVENUE BOND, MR. DONALDSON, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, AS OPPOSED TO A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND. I KNOW IT DOES HAVE THE SBT BACKUP BUT. (INDISCERNIBLE)

>> RIGHT. OKAY. THE, UM, THE INDIANA LEGISLATOR RECOGNIZED THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF THE AMOUNT OF BONDS THAT COULD BE ISSUED, THESE ARE THE ASSESSMENTS IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES, THEY NEEDED ANOTHER FINANCING MECHANISM, AND THE LEASE REVENUE BOND IS WHAT THEY

[00:20:02]

OPENED. IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR? >> 6:53.

>> I'M SORRY, 6:53. >> I'M STILL ON MAINE TIME. SORRY ABOUT THAT. AND, SEEING NO ONE, IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? SEEING NO ONE, I WILL DECLARE OUR PUBLIC HEARING TO BE CLOSED. I NOW HAVE 6:54 P.M., INDIANA TIMES. THANK

[7a. Action Item #2 – Resolution 2022-23 re: Lease rental road bonds]

MOTION OF APPROVAL. >> I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE. >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. IS

THERE A SECOND? >> I'LL SECOND. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER BROOKS, WITH THAT, WE WILL NOW TRY OUR VOTING MACHINES AGAIN. SO, IF YOU WOULD, CAST YOUR

[7b. Action Item #3 – Land Lease regarding telecommunications tower on Brookshire Golf Course]

VOTES. AND, THIS ACTION ITEM IS APPROVED. >> WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ONTO ACTION ITEM NUMBER 3 WHICH IS APPROVAL OF A LAND LEASE REGARDING A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER AT THE BROOKSHIRE GOLF COURSE, AND MR. DIRECTOR WOULD YOU LIKE TO

DISCUSS THIS ACTION ITEM? >> ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE CRC IS THE OWNER OF THE LAND ON WHICH THE BROOKSHIRE GOLF COURSE. THE CITY, NO QUESTIONS, PLEASE.

VICE-PRESIDENT BOWER ON THAT SPECIFIC TOPIC. THE CITY'S IS TRYING TO ENHANCE IT'S CELL SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE CITY IS NEGOTIATING WITH VARIOUS TELECOMS TO PROVIDE SELL SERVICE ON HELP FILL IN SOME GAPS ON THE EAST SIDE. LET'S JUST SAY THAT. THE CITY IS PLANNING ON ERECTING A TOWER THAT WOULD SERVE AS A HOME FOR THIS TELECOMS, INSTEAD OF THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION BEING PART OF ANY OF THAT, ALL WE'RE SIMPLY DOING IS LEASING THE CITY, THE LAND ON WHICH THIS THING WILL SIT SO THAT THE CITY AND THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT. JUST THE SAME WAY THAT BROOKSHIRE GETS HANDLED BY SOMEBODY ELSE, WE EXPECT THE TOWER TO BE HANDLED BY SOMEBODY ELSE. SO, THIS IS THE LEASING MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE CITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL OF THOSE THINGS WITHOUT ANYTHING FROM US IN THE FUTURE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON THE CRC SIDE, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FROM THE CITY'S SIDE, SERGAE ROW THE CONTRACT.

>> FIRST OF ALL, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE DIRECTOR REGARDING THE PROPOSED LAND

LEASE? >> I DO HAVE ONE. >> COMMISSIONER BROOKS.

[00:25:04]

>> MAY I ASSUME THERE'S NO FINANCIAL ISSUE TO THIS AT ALL? IT'S JUST AN --

>> THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE LEASE THAT CRC WOULD RECEIVE 10 DOLLARS A YEAR RENT FROM THE CITY. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. SO. THAT MAY BE THE ONLY FINANCIAL

ISSUE HERE. >> SO, YOU'RE REALLY A GOOD NEGOTIATOR, I COULD SEE.

>> OR A REALLY BAD ONE. THAT'S RIGHT. >> I IMAGINE THE RENTAL ON THAT CELL TOWER CREATES A LITTLE MORE REVENUE THAN THAT. SERGAE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS?

>> ABSOLUTELY. THIS PROJECT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FROM A CITY STANDPOINT FOR THREE YEARS NOW.

MIKE AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN SPEARHEADING IT AND GETTING IT TO THE FINISH LINE. IT'S FINALLY AT THE FINISH LINE. WE'VE NEGOTIATED VENDOR LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH VARIOUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS VENDORS, HAVE YOUING VERIZON, ATT AND DISH, IT SHOULD BE COMPLETE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO, THE TOWER ITSELF IS 175-FEET TOWER WITH FIVE CENTER LINES ONE OF EACH WILL BE USED FOR OUR IT DEPARTMENT FOR EMERGENCY SYSTEMS OR SOME OTHER FACTIONALITIES.

I'S A PRIORITY FOR THE CITY, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, THE EASTSIDE, ESPECIALLY THAT PORTION HAS TERRIBLE RECEPTION SERVICE AND VERY LIMITED PROVIDERS THAT ACTUALLY DO. SO, IT IS A PRIORITY SITE FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUSINESSES AS WELL AS, HOPEFULLY, THE CITY OF

CARMEL. >> I DON'T LIVE NEAR THE GOLF COURSE, BUT I DID AT ONE TIME.

AND I KNOW THE CELL RECEPTION HAS NOT BEEN STRONG. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL IMPROVE THAT.

>> IT SHOULD IMPROVE IT TREMENDOUSLY. >> OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SERGAE? SEEING NONE, IF IT IS YOUR PLEASURE, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OF APPROVAL

OF THIS LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LAND LEASE REGARDING THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER IN BROOKSHIRE GOLF COURSE.

>> SECOND. >> SECOND. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, WE WILL NOW USE OUR VOTING MONTHS. SO, IF YOU WOULD CAST YOUR VOTES. AND IT IS APPROVED.

[7c. Action Item #4 – Resolution 2022-24 re: City Center public restrooms]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONERS. >> WE WILL NOW MOVE ONTO OUR NEXT ACTION ITEM, WHICH IS, ACTION ITEM 4 WHICH ARE THE CITY CENTER PUBLIC REST ROOMS. AND

MR. DIRECTOR? >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THIS CONCERNS, IN MY OPINION, THE NICEST BATHROOMS IN THE CITY, JUST SOUTH OF THE HOTEL CAR MICHAEL. JUST BY WAY OF BACKGROUND, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE DID AN AMENDMENT TO OUR AGREEMENT WITH PET CORE AND CITY CENTER THAT ALLOWED THEM TO UTILIZE MORE OF THE TIFF REVENUE TO CONTINUE ENHANCING CITY CENTER. THIS ONE BEING WHOLLY ON THEM IN TERMS OF LIABILITY. IT PAID FOR SEVERAL THINGS, BUT ONE OF WHICH BEING THAT PET CORE WOULD BUILD US PUBLIC BATHROOMS AS PART OF THAT PROJECTS. SO, PET CORE HAS BUILT THE PUBLIC BATHROOMS AND AT SOME POINT, WE KNEW THAT THE CRC WOULD TAKE TITLE TO THOSE PUBLIC PATH ROOMS AND ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH PARKS BOARD TO MANAGE THOSE BATHROOMS. THE CRC SERVES AS AN OTHER THAN, BUT, OTHERWISE A PASS THROUGH, FRANKLY, WE'RE LATE ON THIS, THOSE BATHROOMS HAVE BEEN OPEN FOR A YEAR, AND THE PARK'S DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN SERVICING THEM FOR A YEAR. THIS IS A SET OF RESOLUTIONS THAT THE TERMS OF US TAKING TITLE OF THE BATHROOMS FROM PET CORE, WHICH, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CRC IS NOT ALLOWED TO TRANSFER THOSE BATHROOMS TO A PRIVATE COMMERCIAL ENTITY. CRC IS THE CARETAKER OF THOSE BATHROOMS AND CAN ONLY TRANSFER THEM TO OTHER CITY AGENCIES. PROVISIONS LIKE THAT, THAT DEAL WITH TAKING CARE OF THE BATHROOMS IS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. AND OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH A

[00:30:04]

WILL ALAW THIS TRANSACTION, IT'S FINALLY TIME TO AFFECT. >> THANK YOU, MR. DIRECTOR.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE DIRECTOR REGARDING THE PUBLIC BATHROOMS?

>> SEEING NONE, IF IT'S YOUR PLEASURE, CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION OF APPROVAL.

>> I MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2022-24, THE CITY CENTER REST ROOMS.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> I'LL SECOND. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.

WITH THAT, IF YOU WOULD, USE YOUR VOTING MACHINES AND THE RESOLUTION IS APPROVED. THANK

[7d. Action Item #5 – Contract for server room buildout design services]

YOU, VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONERS. >>> NOW, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ONTO OUR ACTION ITEM NUMBER 5, WHICH IS APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT FOR THE SERVER ROOM BUILDOUT DESIGN SERVICES WITH STUDIO M.

MR. FAIRMEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE SOME DETAILS THAT YOU

WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT. >> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. IN FRONT OF YOU, ATTACHED TO THE ACTION ITEM, THERE'S A FORM OF AGREEMENT WHICH WE INTEND TO ENTER INTO WITH STUDIO M AND KBSO AS THEIR SUBCONSULTANT FOR THE COLLEAGUES OF A SERVER ROOM TO BE BUILT ON THE ROOF OF THE JAMES BUILDING IN CONNECTION WITH THE CARTER GREEN PROJECTION PROJECT WHICH WE DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, BLACKOUT STUDIO WILL BE DOING A 3-D MAPPING PROJECT ON THE PLAYEDIUM, AND THIS SERVER ROOM WILL HOUSE THE EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT THAT PROJECT. THE REASON I'M ASKING FOR THE APPROVAL IN THE FORM OF THE CONTRACT AND NOT THE ACTUAL CONTRACT IS THAT WE WERE INFORMED EARLIER TODAY THAT THE VALUE OF THE CONTRACT WILL COME DOWN SLIGHTLY BECAUSE THE SCOPE IS NOT AS EXTENSIVE AS THEY EXPECTED. THE PRICE MAY BE REDUCED. SO, WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU TO APPROVE AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $19,800, BUT, IN REALITY, THE FINAL SIGN VERSION WILL BE

LESS. HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. >> ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS FAREMAN. SEEING NONE, IF IT'S YOUR PLEASURE T COMMIS COMMIS COMMISSIONERS CHAIRMAN WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

>> IF I COULD, IF THE MOTION COULD INCLUDE AN APPROVAL OF THIS AGREEMENT AS AMENDED.

UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A FORM OF A CONTRACT, AND CERTAIN ITEMS IN IT MAY BE ALTERED WITH THE JOINT APPROVAL OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE PRESIDENT MUCH LIKE WE'VE DONE

IN THE PAST WHEN WE NEED TO HAMMER OUT SOME FINAL DETAILS? >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. ONCE AGAIN, IF SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, I WOULD ASK THAT IT BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE

ITEMS THAT THE DIRECTOR JUST TALKED ABOUT. COMMISSIONERS? >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT FOR SERVER ROOM BUILDOUT DESIGN SERVICES AS AMENDED,

UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN ITEMS MAY BE MODIFIED AFTER THE FACT. >> IS THERE A SECOND TO THE

MOTION? >> SECOND. >> THAT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU WILL USE YOUR VOTING MACHINES. MR. DIRECTOR IS THERE ANY OTHER

BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE US THIS EVENING? >> NO, THERE'S NO

MR. PRESIDENT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH. WELL, LET'S SEE, OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING WILL BE HERE AT CITY HALL, ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER THE 19TH. AT 6:30 P.M. IN THE
