- Welcome. It is 5 o'clock. We actually have a quorum. So are we on yet? Are we on yet? Were you worried?
- And we're recording? OK. Let's soldier in. Let's begin with a roll call vote. Commission members? Brandi
- Cassidy, present. John West, present. Sue Scambillari, present. And staff? Anna Gillian Hanson, present.
- Christina Bentley, hand department. Tammy Caswell, head department.
- economic and sustainable development. Jessica McCollum, city controller. Roy Aitken, city engineer.
- Anna Dragamitch, economic and sustainable development. Matt Swinney, hand department. Travis Fentzel.
- General support of that. We do have one more staff person in the hand department. Great. Dana Kerr,
- legal. Great.
- Thank you, everybody. Let's move to the minutes for September 15th and the executive session summary
- for October 14th of 2025. Are there any corrections changes? And if not, may I have a motion to approve?
- I'll make a motion to approve minutes as presented. Second. It's been moved and seconded. All those
- in favor indicate by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. Those minutes are approved.
- So let's move to examination of claims registers. And are there any questions or comments on the claims
- registers? None? All right. If not, is there a motion to approve? Move for approval. Second. And that,
- just to clarify, that's for both? Both.
- It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor indicate by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you.
- Those are approved. Moving on to examination of payroll registers for September 19th, 2025 and October
- 3rd, 2025. Are there any questions or comments on payroll registers? And if not, may I have a motion
- to approve? Second. Okay. It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor indicate by saying aye. Aye.
- Any opposed?
- None in opposition? Thank you. Those are approved. Let's move on to reports of officers and committees.
- We'll begin with the director's report. No director's report this evening, though I do want to say thank
- you to all the community members and the Redevelopment Commission for coming to the Hopewell South kickoff
- meeting that was held just previous to this. We had a great turnout, and I think it went well. And just
- that'll be available on CATS, will it not?
- Yes, and we did record the meeting, and we'll have the slide deck available for distribution as well.
- Great. Thank you. Legal report? I'm here for questions if you have them. OK. Thank you. Pressure, please.
- Good evening, commissioners. In your packet is my new version of the project summary report.
- I've been tinkering around with a way to present the projects to you in a different way that kind of
- shows a little bit more information that's more useful for staff and for the members of the RDC.
- So I divided, I still have the divisions
- named by project like the first one is Hopewell East and then it is going to go through any the resolution
- number and the vendor attached to that resolution that is either still open and outstanding from previous
- years or ones and including all the ones that you've approved so far this year in 2025. So this can
- give you kind of
- a better overview of what is actually happening in each project, because I know as the year goes by
- and as resolutions get approved, you may see the project name and a number attached to it, but I was
- hoping that this would give you kind of more jogger memory as to what has come before the RDC, how much
- we have spent,
- in that resolution. And then if that vendor has been paid and the project is closed, it'll show the
- amount expensed and then it'll show a zero due balance. So the balance will be that nothing is due.
- And that means that we've finished out that part of that resolution.
- So there's a lot more detail here, and also this means that as we go through every meeting, we can add
- resolution numbers to these lists so we can keep better track for the RDC of those resolutions. HAND
- also keeps track on different spreadsheets of all the resolutions and all the PO numbers, and there's
- even a lot more detail in the way that they track it. But this, I hope, is more information that is
- useful to you on these projects.
- So something like Hopewell East is a little bit, it doesn't have all of the information, because as
- you know, we've spent over 13, 14 million dollars on that project that isn't all shown right here. We
- could change this sheet to maybe have a line that shows something about past years, how much has really
- been expensed in the project, and then everything that's currently open and being worked through right
- now. But other than Hopewell East, all the projects that are on here have
- all the resolution numbers and amounts that we have spent so far. Yes. Is Hopewell South covered in
- here? Hopewell South, anything that we did in Hopewell South is kind of divided between East and First
- and West. When I looked at our
- Like our POs, it wasn't always clear to me in the past what was Hopewell South and what was Hopewell
- East. Like there's a lot of demolition that was done in Hopewell South, and that's included in the Hopewell
- East number. It doesn't have to be, and that's a great, I can take that as a suggestion or a request
- that we do, we break out Hopewell South too. I can work on doing that. Well, we certainly talk about
- them separately, so it would probably be beneficial.
- So going back to what you said just a moment ago, we're going back to some cases 2020, 2022, 2023. But
- anything prior to that is not reflected on this. Correct. So these totals, if I add up all of the Hopewell
- totals, which I did,
- came out to about 7.6, 7.7 million. That really doesn't reflect the total cost of what we spent, setting
- aside the purchase of what we spent on this project. No, you are right. And I'm hearing then that that
- would still be a valuable number to have to keep current on this sheet. And I can absolutely do that.
- Oh, it'd be good to have the total and not incremental total. Yeah. All right. No problem. The breakout's
- good. OK. It gives us a better idea. But the previous things for these projects that we have that are
- ongoing so we can keep track of the total amount spent, actual total spent. And if you need to do it
- as a balance forward because it's so old, I guess that's fine because most of that's
- has been expensed. Yes. And there's nothing else outstanding. So just. And if you guys do have questions,
- we do have a detail spreadsheet tracking a lot of the expenses or claims that are going through for
- each resolution that you guys are passing to see where we are. This is a really good overview. But if
- you need to break it down more granularly. Just as you put through these and as John indicated on the
- 2020 and some of these that are four or five years old or nine, you know, I mean, that aren't closed,
- you know, is that a situation that we're just waiting for invoices to come in or? Let's see, so. I mean,
- yeah. Well, actually. Well, here's one of them is First Street. It was a 2020 VS Engineering. So that
- one is closed. It was approved for seven,
- $720,000 and then we spent $699,000 and then the next column is zero. When those are done, that cash
- balance just drops out. Basically, we got it done under budget is what it's indication. Yeah. So it's
- black and white column because it's closed out. It's closed out. That works.
- So like First Street is a great example of like a project that's kind of coming to the end, it's being
- closed out, and I put all of the resolutions that I could find related to First Street there so you
- can see like kind of the total of what the RDC spent on First Street, even though some of them are,
- you know, five years old. And all of these also involve like coordination with engineering, because
- sometimes there's POs out there that have been closed down, and we just need to check in with engineering
- just to make sure before we
- We say, okay, this project is done. This is a good way for all of us to communicate, especially internally,
- about where we have questions. There was one that stood out to me big time, and that's Milestone. We
- know they're a huge vendor for this project. For yeast. But they're only listed here once.
- Um, that could, so we did have a huge contract, like $13 million with milestone. And that's one of the
- main ones that I left off this list. Um, and them and many, many others from back in like 2020, I think
- when I got in that bid or 2021. So there's a lot of major, um, Hopewell East ones that have been closed
- out that I left off of this. Um, I didn't want to overwhelm you with this huge long list of Hopewell East.
- resolutions, and so I made the decision, let's just do the open ones for Hopewell East, just the open
- ones. But I think I like the idea of doing a balance forward. This is like everything we've spent so
- far, and then these are the ones that are still open. That'd be good. OK. And then as they close out,
- eventually you can roll them up into the balance. Exactly. Yeah. I think that'll work really nice. And
- then just a quick question in regards to the general ledger.
- Essentially, we're sitting on 24 million. Yes. For project. Oh, well, yeah. 22 in the TIF. Let's see.
- Let's see. Let's see. Yeah. The RDC account is 1.5. The TIF account, the TIF fund is 22, and the Kinzer
- Prow is 707. So yes. OK. OK. That's the cash balance that we're rolling right now. And then as we look
- at the TIF,
- are what you put out for the commitment on Kinser. We don't have anything yet, but we are looking at
- some items. Yes. We do not have anything when we're looking. Because we've got a sunsetting clause that's
- occurring. Yes, we do. OK. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Anything else? OK, Jessica, thank you for
- preparing this for us. Thank you for being open to additional feedback, too. And that moves us to a
- business development update? Yeah.
- A brief update or a brief invitation for commissioners and the public to join the City in the Mill in
- Celebrating Innovation Week, which is November 4th to 7th. Each day has a different theme. Tuesday is
- health tech, Wednesday is gov tech, government tech, Thursday is an AI theme, and then Friday is the
- culmination with creative arts and the community block party. The community block party is from 5 to 8 p.m.
- And if you sign up in advance, you can get tours of the great facilities there, including the Forge,
- which was completed and placed in service this year. And the date again? November 7th from 5 to 8. And
- the goal, to be clear, is really to invite the public into the Trades District and help the community
- have a sense of ownership of this really awesome neighborhood. There was a great invitation sent out.
- for both the daily thing, and then also there's a separate one for the event at the end. We could re-forward
- those if you didn't get it. Because I think you had to RSVP. I was just asking for the record. OK. Oh,
- sorry. But thank you for the thought. So much for being here. I think that's it from me. Great.
- Thank you. Are you going to say one thing? I was going to ask a question. We can ask later. Now, I was
- just asking based upon the reporting and such where we might be.
- on the hotel? Well, I can give approximately the same update I think I gave to CIB last week,
- which is the, I mean, right? Which hotel? Oh, the trades district hotel. Oh, sorry. I do have an update
- on that. They're really working hard to move that forward. They have filed and will go to zoning, BZA,
- I think in November. And then they'll be scheduled for a plane commission the 1st of January. So they're
- making progress. Wonderful.
- Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Jane. That takes us to new business, beginning with resolution 25127. We're
- taking that out of order. This is a resolution to earmark funds for infrastructure design in the southwest
- quadrant of the city of Bloomington. Who will be speaking to this for us? There he is. Roy and I will.
- You all know we have two potential developments on the southwest side. And this area is basically the
- only area that's pretty sparse in the city of Bloomington that could have further development. And so
- you have the Summit property, which those are ongoing talks with them.
- plus the Public Investment Corp property as well. Plus, in addition to that, you have the current Wimmer
- Road that is a significant part of it's located in a floodway, a flip lane, and has a actual one lane
- bridge on it. So as development may occur, there is a need to have a much better north and south
- corridor between there. So Vanguard Way is an area that, or a road that we believe, engineering believes,
- that would be able to create a good north-south pathway. It would, there would be, we're in negotiations
- with Public Investment Corp about going through their property.
- And then part of that property is shared with Monroe County. So we'll be working with them as well.
- And then within the Summit area itself, there is a connection that could be made for Adams Street as
- well, going through their property. And then you could connect the two of them, Adams and Vanguard,
- with Sudbury.
- What we're asking for tonight is no commitment to approve a contract or an amount, but to help with
- our discussions with developers and our engineering and such, we would be asking the RDC to set aside,
- to earmark, $5 million for infrastructure in that area. And of course, infrastructure is
- one of the top listed things that RBC can use with their funds. And so the thought is that if we could
- have some money set aside, that would give us a better leverage point with dealing with these developers.
- And it would also help speed up getting that north-south corridor.
- So what you would pretty much the first phase would be trying to get Vanguard in with roundabout at
- Bloomfield Road and roundabout at Tap Road, likely roundabout. That would be a major goal and then the
- next would probably be Adams and then third Sudbury. But again, trying to just keep it to infrastructure,
- trying to keep it to
- roadways infrastructure that would support development in that area. We do believe that if we could
- design infrastructure through that vanguard way and that that would spur more development. If we have
- that road in, people drive through it, people see this area, see that they can develop it and see that
- that infrastructure is already there, sorry, that they're not going to have to pay for that, then that
- would give them more incentive to take care of what's on their own property than themselves.
- But if you have, feel free to jump in, Roy. I just know that we're very early in the process for working
- with them right now, so we're looking at,
- design services, things like that, start conversations. There was a traffic impact study that was done
- for the development. It outlined some improvements that were going to be required to support the development
- that they want to do. So I know that's being heard right now or in the traffic commission meeting. This
- would then just outline a support move for
- on engineering services so we can get down into the weeds a little bit more beyond just the traffic
- study that's out there right now. So again, this is not approving any contract. It's not dedicating
- any money to a specific project within there. It's just saying that the RDC believes that infrastructure
- is important in that southwest quadrant of the city and that
- you're willing to set aside a certain amount of funds to try to get that development of that infrastructure
- to happen. So again, it's not the proven contract. Those will all be brought back to you. You could
- always say no to them, each and every one of them, if you choose to do so.
- basically is just saying, hey, look, the RDC thinks it's important to get the infrastructure down that
- southwest corner, not only for the future development, but honestly for fire and police protection to
- be able to get through there. So there's a lot of benefits to the city to do it, but it may well spur
- some good development down there that the city would be happy to see.
- I know I have a couple of questions, but I'll start with commissioners. Go ahead. I've got three that
- kind of run together. One is this quadrant currently is not in a TIF district, correct? It is. It is.
- It is, except for the county part, because that's county. Which TIF is a part of the? It's this. The
- consolidated TIF? Is it part of the consolidated? Because that's the only group. Yeah, it's part of
- the consolidated, but which part of the consolidated
- I think it's the TAP expansion. OK. Well, as long as it's part of the consolidated, that actually answers
- my other two questions. Well, I'm glad I could do that. That was easy. All right. A couple questions
- and one thing. One, that TIF, TAP Road TIF area, I was looking to try to identify the ordinance when
- that was expanded into the sub area. Couldn't find it. I was curious when that occurred.
- When the tap road? When the tap road TIF and the Sudbury property expanded into that tap road TIF. Because
- at the present moment, what's the head? Yeah, from a resolution standpoint, when it was expanded.
- And again, I don't remember when that occurred. Well, the consolidated TIF. The consolidated TIF. That
- was 2016. Oh, sorry.
- I have one of them, I guess, that has a number of them. And they're worried about the timeline? Well,
- a timeline, looking at, and then when it was actually done. Wouldn't we carve out a new TIF? Yes. Would
- we start the clock based on development, like a scalpel? That's one of the questions I have, because
- the overlying TIF that originally was discussed was PIC, and then
- In full disclosure, I will have to abstain from a vote on this because I am an adjoining property owner
- for both these properties that you're discussing. So in order of transparency, for me to vote on it
- would be wrong because I'm in that quadrant. But this question goes back to mine. If we're trying to
- identify a TIF district in which this allocation would come from, it's got to be clear to me
- where it's coming from. It was clear if it's part of the consolidated, but now because of the question
- Randy asked, now I'm back to glory again. If we consolidated the TIF at that point, when was the Sudbury
- portion added into that TIF to make sure? Because we're talking about the North South Adams Road to
- Connection, which I have
- No doubt that is a necessary thing in the future. And then my only other question on that was when,
- and then how we would do that because of the dollar amount. And then the $5 million we're looking at,
- that's a design criteria or just up to? I think that's just earmarking right now. So there are no contracts
- to bring to you, but they're kind of like set aside, hey, this is coming. But yes, design as well. And
- it's design.
- Right. A resolution, it's for design services. Design services. And it's up to? Yeah. And it's up, it'll
- be up to you to bring back, but it could be up to $5 million for the whole thing, which is exactly the
- maximum amount that we have the authority to do without going to council. This resolution actually would
- need to be tabled for a resolution to pass. Yes, you can have three person and have a quorum, but for
- a resolution to pass, it needs
- three votes. So it's not just a majority of the quorum, it would be three votes. It would be three votes,
- which we would not have. I hate to do that, guys, but I have to. It would be great if we can conclude
- at any discussion so we could bring it up the next time we have a group. If we're going to bring it
- up again, then these are some questions you can probably drill down on that would help make the decision
- just easier.
- And again, what would happen as far as the TIF goes is it would be each development and possibly each
- part of the development would be carved out as a separate TIF. And the TIF clock starts when you have
- the first obligation on that, whether it be a bond or lease. And so that would bring to life
- that TIF area, it wouldn't sunset it early or as far as you would get the same benefit out of it as
- if it was developed 25 years ago when you started 25 years ago. You're still going to be able to capture
- that incremental increase and use it because it's consolidated TIF. Even if you're using consolidated
- TIF money from the other areas to do this, once it starts
- bringing in revenue, you can use that for the other consolidated areas. That's the whole purpose of
- having consolidated that TIF. So it's not only a great benefit to that area, it could bring in revenues
- that could be used in the others. And there are different ways of financing and working with developers that
- that could have implications with that, but that's too early to really talk about that. But the point
- is it would start o'clock again. I have the, sorry, I don't remember the name of it, the Tab Road Tip
- established in 1993 and expanded in 03. And I appreciate kind of the detail that we're getting into,
- and I think maybe it would help if we come up a level. The purpose of staff making this request today
- is really to communicate
- to the commissioners that we are looking at ways that the TIF can be applied to really foster redevelopment
- in this part of town. And we believe our recommendation is that investments in public infrastructure
- and specifically some of the roads that were named tonight are the right way to do that. And we wanna
- know if you all are supportive of that strategy as well. And then we want to signal
- via this commitment of funds that we would be bringing specific funding requests back with more specific
- asks to Roy's point, specific roads with, you know, having gone through the bid process with
- those contractors. But this today is just really to foster the conversation and to signal that commitment.
- Absolutely. I will say that those dates are not actually correct. There were some additional expansions
- in 2016, but we didn't get those exact dates for you. Just full disclosure, the 03 was when I voluntarily
- annexed and added the Willard Mill into the diff in 03. We will come prepared at the next goal. Well,
- you guys are usually prepared, huh? An additional question.
- confused about this, and then I was, and then I wasn't, and then I was, so I'm a was right now. So,
- existing TIF revenues to be used by the city of Bloomington for professional design and service fees.
- Some of the conversation I've heard suggests that it would be used for the actual infrastructure
- improvements, like putting a roundabout in there. No, so it's just... Do we envision it being spent
- for anything beyond design and service fees?
- Not that $5 million. Do we envision that there might be the need for RFC dollars for the further
- infrastructure? Probably. I would think so, likely. You know, the roads are expensive. But this $5 million
- is not going to be built in a roundabout or whatever. Got it. I'm not confused. Questions? One other
- comment. This is just research on.
- design, and we're talking $5 million. The Fullerton Pike Section 3 that just came in, it was a $1.15
- million design contract. Now it's been a few years ago, so inflation has occurred. Making it very expensive.
- Yeah. And that was a $19 million project. So percentage-wise, if the $5 million is for design, this
- is really expensive stuff for Adam Street and Sudbury.
- Any other questions? If not, may I have a motion to table? No, apparently not. You can move to table.
- I'll move to table. I'll second the motion to table. It's been moved and seconded. All in favor say
- aye. Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. So that'll come back to us at our next meeting. Yeah. OK, great. Sorry.
- So yeah, appreciate that very much. Just by way of information for the public, we have a number
- of resolutions coming up all pertaining to CDBG funding. Resolution 25-120 is a little bit different,
- and then it goes back to a 2022 physical improvement grant. So we're going to take that separately.
- But then we will have one vote if commissioners are agreeable on the remaining CDBGs. So does that work
- for you all?
- I'm good. Great. Okay. Resolution 25120, approval of First Amendment to the 2022 CDBG Physical Improvement
- Grant with City of Bloomington Utilities. Who will be speaking to this? Hi. And here you are. Matt Sweeney
- with HAN. Yeah, this 2022 project, we had a long road with environmental review issues. So we're now
- finally at the end of those. So we're extending
- this agreement to the end of 26. Hopefully we can get this all done next year and we are increasing
- the funds to help with all the costs that has been incurred with this project. Happy to answer any questions.
- Questions? I guess the most obvious question is are the funds there? Yeah.
- So they're already there. They're already earmarked. We're good. We've got 200 grand set into the side
- to deal with this. And CBU has a plan in place that will get them done in the timeline now that we've
- hit all of our environmental checks. And just for the benefit of the audience, this money comes from
- HUD to us via CDBG as nothing to do with TIP funding.
- And we're just looking at the situation. If they don't get it done this year, which I'm sure they will,
- is there a chance of losing this money or it being pulled clawed back at any particular time once we
- vote to do this? No. Good. It would be fine even if we had to extend it again. It may affect our overall
- timeliness, though, if the project gets drugged on too far. We are timed by the federal government on
- how fast we spend the money.
- We have to meet certain benchmarks as they time us. So we do not want it to drag out any further. We
- need to get it going. That is our goal. That is CBU's goal. Unfortunately, like Matt said, environmental
- has got in the way. But this will just paper up and make sure that we're not operating under an agreement
- that no longer stands out. And they're shovel ready, ready to go.
- Yeah, for the most part. And they're already ready to submit claims for expenses incurred. So I'm not
- sure what portion of it they already have ready. But we will start drawing funds. OK. All right.
- Sounds good. Thank you. Any further questions? Yes. On the paperwork, just to verify as we went through
- where it's grantee and it's got you and it's got sub-recipient and it's got Vic on there as opposed
- to Catherine.
- and 2022 would have been. Yeah. So we're just extending this. We're not having to redo any of the paperwork.
- No. All right. Thank you. Those are the only two items being adjusted. OK. If there are no further questions,
- may I have a motion to approve? Make a motion to approve. Second. OK. It's been moved and seconded that
- we approve resolution 25120. All those in favor indicate by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed?
- Thank you. That passes unanimously. Thank you. OK.
- Next, we'll move into multiple resolutions, all for CDBG social service grant funding. Resolution 25-121,
- approval of 2025 CDBG social services grant with Boys and Girls Club. Resolution 25-122, approval of
- 2025 CDBG social service grant with Community Kitchen. Resolution 25-123, approval of 2025 CDBG social
- services grant with Hoosier Hills Food Bank.
- Resolution 25124, approval of 2025 CDBG Social Services Grant with Mother Hubbard's Cupboard. Resolution
- 25125, approval of 2025 CDBG Social Service Grant with Middleway House. Resolution 25126, approval of
- 2025 CDBG Social Service Grant with Pathways. Who is our representative for social service? No, but
- I mean of the commissioners.
- Last year. Last year. Yeah. It was me. Was it you? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Please. Go ahead. Hold on.
- Hold on. I'm lying to you. Debra. Debra. That was physical improvements. Yeah. That was physical
- improvements. Wrong. Deb. Debra. It was Debra. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Please. Go ahead. Yeah. These are just
- the final contracts for the allocations that were already approved earlier this year. So this would
- allow us to start
- drawing down funding when we're able to to get out to these agencies. Is there anything you can share
- about the process or any impressions of? We had a pretty similar process as we always have. I know of
- course CAC members had took a lot of time to parse through the applications and provide these recommendations for
- funding based on of course our scoring criteria and how it aligns with the city's consolidated plan
- which of course at that time was the previous what was it 20 to 24 consolidated plan as opposed to what's
- just been approved earlier this year so okay
- CDBG contracts limit the amount of funding that can go to physical improvement projects and to social
- service projects. So it's 15% of the allocation is the maximum amount that can go to these social service
- projects. CAC for the benefit of the audience is the Citizen Advisory Commission. We do two each year,
- one for physical improvements, one for social services, their application basis,
- And then the CAC members, which are members of the community, we have a member of city council, a member
- of RDC present for each one. They will score and decide how that money gets broken down. With social
- services and actually with all of the applications that we receive on both physical and social service,
- we receive more funding requests than can be funded. So oftentimes, the social services, especially
- at only 15% of the allocation,
- It's a very difficult decision, but I will assure you that there's been a lot of evaluation that takes
- place as these contracts are coming to you. Thank you. Any questions on these resolutions? There were
- enough money to do the right thing. If not, may I have a motion to approve on resolution 25-121 through 25-126?
- Or not. I'd like to go ahead and list the amounts of each for the record. In resolution 121, Boys and
- Girls Club, it would be $20,891. Forgive me, scrolling through to the...
- The 25-122 is for community kitchen, was also $20,891. The next would be Hoosier Hills Food Bank for
- $17,141. And then for Middleway House, $11,766. For Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, it would be $17,141.
- For Pathways, Inc., it would be $11,766. And for Beacon, it would be $17,141. OK. Beacon was not. Beacon
- was not. OK. That one was not among these. Was not among these. OK. I was going off a contract. You
- had some momentum. Yeah, that's for another time. OK. Questions on those numbers? OK. If not, may I
- have a motion to approve?
- I'll move for approval of resolution 25-121, 122, 123, 124, 125, and 126. I'll second. We have a motion
- and a second. All those in favor, please indicate by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? And that passes,
- and those are approved. Thank you. Thank you.
- Moving to resolution 25-128, this is a resolution amending the declaratory resolution and economic
- development plan for the Bloomington Consolidated Economic Development Area. And who will be speaking
- to this? I actually need to pull that one from the agenda for tonight. OK. Never mind. All right. So
- that takes us to resolution 25-129.
- Approval of environmental restrictive covenant on property at West Fountain Drive and West 8th Street,
- and authorization for installation of a dry detention stormwater facility. And who will be speaking
- to this? Well, as well. Apparently, what I was told is that last year, it came to the RBC that there
- is a piece of property that's basically rolled away.
- there where Fountain Drive and 8th Street come together. It's literally a lot of it is in the actual
- road and then the roadway. And technically the RDC owns that property. So last year as part of the stormwater
- project, the CBU had come to the RDC, as my understanding, and asked for approval to allow them
- to do environmental sampling on the property so that they could get an IBM Indian Department of Environmental
- Management site status letter. The site status letter, due to some contaminated materials, the way you
- have to handle those, they want an environmental restrictive covenant on that property. Well, since
- you are technically the owners, even though it is all right away in street, it requires
- your approval to put on the restrictive covenant. So that is the purpose of doing this. This evening
- is to put that restrictive covenant on that piece of property. This is one of those properties that
- I'm hoping to get transferred out of the RDC because it has no reason to be in the RDC. But they do
- have a stormwater detention project that they need to complete. And in order to do that, they need this
- restrictive covenant put on so that they can handle soils and things appropriately. Questions? Go ahead.
- Is this identified on the map anywhere in here? Is there a map with the resolution? Just a map on West
- 8th and Fountain Drive. I can't even find it.
- It's on 247. Oh, that's the drawing. That's just the drawing that shows. From a GIS standpoint. Yeah.
- A locator map and stuff like this, a locator map would be probably beneficial. Because it already came,
- so we knew what was going on.
- Well, I'd say from a property standpoint, you're indicating it's all right-of-way? Yes. As you can see
- from the drawing, you have the street, and then you have the right-of-way beside the street. So there's
- really no... There's a small piece of property. I'm just trying to, as you said, get things off of RDC.
- So this is all right-of-way here. That's it. Yes, that's the center line of the street.
- And so you would have the street on both sides and the rest would be the right-of-way, but it's also
- part of the right-of-way for a fountain as well. Wow. It's a big right-of-way. Yeah, although this drawing
- may not be accurately depicted. Yeah, it doesn't help with the depiction. I bring up the drawing of
- The city of Bloomington stormwater cannot move forward.
- piece of property right here. Dana, can you project that? I wish I could, but I don't know how to do
- that. You can look at it. You'll get it. You'll understand it pretty easily. It's close. It's all right,
- but we don't have any. We have to do this for the public, too. Right. I'll do it to the camera. So it's
- this piece of property right here.
- That makes sense. Because it's right in between. If you can pick that up or not, shoot. Smile. Sometimes
- you just get low tech about it. Do you want to do it for the owl for those online too? I'm not sure
- how to do it for the owl. Just put it in front of the owl. How do I get in front of him? Climb up. I
- don't think anybody wants that.
- Can anybody see it? They're both my boys. So anyway, it will be on cats. If you get real interested,
- you can pull it up and see it. But it is roadwayed right away. And City of Bloomington Utilities and
- the dry detention pond is going to utilize part of this property in order to force stormwater detention
- in itself. Yes. OK, and that's not something that
- Once we do this letter, we're no longer going to have financial run. No, there is no financial obligation
- of the RDC. You're not committing any money to this. You're just saying, OK, we'll put the restrictive
- covenant in that way, and it will approve you going ahead and putting in this stormwater detention,
- which, of course, will benefit the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we'll still have it.
- That's what I was trying to get at. What do we have to do at the same time to transfer this particular
- piece of property to public? I have asked if they want us to just transfer it to them and I haven't
- got the response back yet. Of course not. Well, I'll be happy to start. This is one of many in that
- area. If you search RDC properties in there, that whole time that they reconstructed that area, the
- RDC had purchased a bunch of the land that ended up becoming
- becoming the street, so there's lots of little slivers of right-of-way. Now there is a portion, if you're
- on Kirkwood and you come up to the stop sign, or stop wide at Adams, to the left, the far left corner
- there, that'd be the southwest corner, there's a little piece of property there that has some,
- I don't know, maybe as much as two acres to it, or an acre, so it's got some property, it is actual
- property, so. We've got a few parcels of value.
- To that point, happy to take care of environmental things that do it, but really would like to be able
- to say how or who could we push and focus on removing or putting back on the tax rolls or transferring
- to the proper governmental agency within the city so that we don't own 94 properties that we really
- have no tax revenue, nothing happening with, or being able to give back. And it sounds like that's underway.
- Yeah, yeah. There have just been so many other things that it just takes time to get to. But yes. Are
- there additional questions on 25-129? If not, may I have a motion? I'll make a motion to approve 25-129
- as presented. Second. It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor indicate by saying aye. Aye.
- Any opposed? And that passes. Thank you. Is there anything for business or general discussion?
- Seeing none, we'll be convening next on Monday, November 3rd, I believe. Is there a motion to adjourn?
- So moved. So moved, and we are out.
