But hi. Hello. Okay well our agenda today is we've got the minutes from December 00:00:45.044 --> 00:00:56.542 - 15 2025 any comments or questions from commissioners if not I'll take a motion. 00:00:58.562 --> 00:01:06.052 - I'll make a motion to approve as noted. Second? Second. First and two seconds. We'll do a vote by a 00:01:06.052 --> 00:01:13.917 - roll call, please. Sioux Scandler, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. Laura McRobbie, yes. John West, yes. Deborah 00:01:13.917 --> 00:01:21.557 - Meyerson, yes. Motion passes unanimously for the minutes of December 15th. Next item on the agenda is 00:01:21.557 --> 00:01:24.254 - the examination of claim registers. 00:01:24.642 --> 00:01:36.574 - for December 22nd, 2025. Any comments or questions from commissioners on the claim register? Move for 00:01:36.574 --> 00:01:48.272 - approval. Got a question. Sorry, John. Page seven of the Fund 2234 on the unsafe building, which is 00:01:48.272 --> 00:01:54.238 - the 4U landscape at 24.2, is that an abatement for 00:01:54.850 --> 00:02:06.987 - Because the reason I ask is when you look that address up, it brings you to the encampment. That's the 00:02:06.987 --> 00:02:18.771 - encampment. What page is it on? Well, in my world, it's 7 of 35. It's in pun 2230. 7 of the packet, 00:02:18.771 --> 00:02:23.838 - sorry. Yeah, 7 of the packet, I apologize. 00:02:26.818 --> 00:02:35.155 - It's $24,020. This was an exceptionally large, exceptionally large encampment that we had to evade. 00:02:35.155 --> 00:02:43.493 - OK. That's the encampment situation. OK. Yeah, because the address when you bring it up is actually 00:02:43.493 --> 00:02:52.164 - the Pizza Express building, or the building in front of it. Yeah, I don't think that the actual address 00:02:52.164 --> 00:02:55.582 - is correct. It's mostly wooded area. OK. 00:02:55.746 --> 00:03:05.874 - That was the cleanup area on that. Yeah, it took weeks, weeks and weeks. And then the other question 00:03:05.874 --> 00:03:16.102 - I was on would be page 10 of 35 on Fund 4657, the 4th Street bond proceeds taxable. It was indicating 00:03:16.102 --> 00:03:23.422 - the $34,000 mobile communication security cams on our 4th Street garage. 00:03:24.226 --> 00:03:31.047 - and that was just additional, was that something that came through or just through the parking? No, 00:03:31.047 --> 00:03:38.140 - as a matter of fact, all of those invoices were actually held by the IT department. There was some sort 00:03:38.140 --> 00:03:44.961 - of issue that they were never paid from, was it 21 or 22? 22. From 2022, never paid. They were held 00:03:44.961 --> 00:03:52.054 - in the IT department. They were forwarded to us at the end of the year. We worked with the controller's 00:03:52.054 --> 00:03:53.214 - office for year. 00:03:54.018 --> 00:03:59.975 - We don't know what happened. So they were paid. They were received. Not by us. Yeah, I know. They were 00:03:59.975 --> 00:04:06.163 - received by the city, and then not forwarded to the redevelopment at that particular time. That's correct. 00:04:06.163 --> 00:04:12.004 - There was some issue with closing out the project, and it hadn't been completed yet. And finally got 00:04:12.004 --> 00:04:15.358 - the IT to say, please process this. This is now complete. 00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:22.757 - So that is what that was. OK. So that was still, we still had that in reserve in the bond. It was already. 00:04:22.757 --> 00:04:29.888 - It was already allocated in our bond reserves. Yes, correct. OK. Thank you. That's all. Thank you. Would 00:04:29.888 --> 00:04:36.680 - you like to make a motion? John did. OK. John's motion is on the table. Second. First and a second. 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:43.472 - We'll do a vote by roll call, please. C. Scandalari, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. Lauren McRobbie, yes. 00:04:43.472 --> 00:04:44.830 - Down the West, yes. 00:04:45.026 --> 00:04:52.296 - Deborah Meyerson, yes. Motion passes unanimously. Next item on the agenda is the payroll register from 00:04:52.296 --> 00:04:59.918 - December 12th and December 24th, 2025. Any questions or comments from commissioners on these two registers? 00:04:59.918 --> 00:05:07.046 - We have approval of payroll registers for December 12th and December 24th, 2025. Second. We've got a 00:05:07.046 --> 00:05:13.822 - first and a second. We'll do a vote by roll call, please. C. Scambler, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. 00:05:14.914 --> 00:05:23.525 - Laura McRobbie, yes. John West, yes. Deborah Meyerson, yes. Passes unanimously for the examination of 00:05:23.525 --> 00:05:32.136 - payroll registers. Thank you. Do we have reports from officers and committees? I would like to update 00:05:32.136 --> 00:05:40.578 - you on something. We got a call from last week or so that a shed that was on the College Square lot 00:05:40.578 --> 00:05:42.942 - was set on fire and burned. 00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:50.107 - So it posed a threat to the public. And so I moved forward and got a crew out there on Friday to clean 00:05:50.107 --> 00:05:57.045 - it up and pull it down so that it would no longer be posing a threat. The total amount for the cleanup 00:05:57.045 --> 00:06:04.386 - was $900. So I could do one of two things. We can pay it under, if you do approve the maintenance resolution 00:06:04.386 --> 00:06:09.438 - that's on your agenda tonight, we could potentially pay that out of there. 00:06:09.634 --> 00:06:15.250 - Or we could bring it back at the next meeting with a resolution and ratification. So it's up to you. 00:06:15.250 --> 00:06:20.922 - It seems simpler not to create a whole separate resolution. It does, but I would like you guys to add 00:06:20.922 --> 00:06:26.595 - that decision. Well, when we get to that approval of maintenance funds on the agenda, can we amend it 00:06:26.595 --> 00:06:32.155 - to add that? Yes. OK. Yeah. But it was something critical that we felt like we couldn't really. And 00:06:32.155 --> 00:06:34.046 - what was the shed being used for? 00:06:34.690 --> 00:06:42.187 - I don't know. It wasn't anything that city was using it for. It was something that was part of the purchase 00:06:42.187 --> 00:06:49.267 - at that time. It appeared that it had some office chairs and paint and some other chemicals in it. So 00:06:49.267 --> 00:06:56.486 - I don't know. We don't know. It was not paint. It was used by the prior tenants. OK. There you go. John 00:06:56.486 --> 00:07:03.774 - has more history than I do. What kind of security is on that law? Before the city got it, they built it. 00:07:04.674 --> 00:07:12.389 - And the last tenant to use it was the costume of people. That makes sense. Thank you. I was just wondering 00:07:12.389 --> 00:07:19.600 - what kind of security is on the College Square property. We do not have any security at the College 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:26.955 - Square. OK. I'm not trying to invite a new budget line in. I'm just asking. Trying to get a sense of, 00:07:26.955 --> 00:07:34.526 - you know. Right. There is a lot of visibility there right now. We do have Wettle that's in the building. 00:07:34.914 --> 00:07:42.460 - Beyond that, it is not like Hopewell. OK, thank you. Since we are on that subject, Mr. McKim did it. 00:07:42.460 --> 00:07:49.484 - He put that picture out a while back. On the College Square, we do still have a tenant there. 00:07:49.484 --> 00:07:57.030 - Is that correct? They have vacated, or they should be fully out this month. The legal services? Yes. 00:07:57.030 --> 00:08:00.542 - OK, so that building will be completely empty. 00:08:00.930 --> 00:08:07.010 - with the exception of the construction crew for Weddle for the convention center. Correct. Okay. And 00:08:07.010 --> 00:08:13.030 - they're there until the convention center is complete. Correct. And I will, on that subject, Weddle 00:08:13.030 --> 00:08:19.532 - has reached out. They would really like to use more parking spaces than what our initial lease was allowing 00:08:19.532 --> 00:08:25.673 - them since they're having a lot more contractors coming through, a lot more activity. So once Indiana 00:08:25.673 --> 00:08:30.910 - Legal Services is out, we hope to show where they will be able to use of that parking. 00:08:31.042 --> 00:08:40.401 - Sorry. Thank you. Anything else for your report? No. OK. Thanks. Other reports? Yes. I have two things 00:08:40.401 --> 00:08:49.578 - for you tonight. One, I wanted to give you an update on the Summit District and Hopewell residential 00:08:49.578 --> 00:08:56.574 - TIF timelines. Public notice went to the HD on December 30 and on January 2. 00:08:56.802 --> 00:09:06.861 - Letters went out, notices went out to neighborhood associations and all other statutory listed entities 00:09:06.861 --> 00:09:16.726 - like underlying taxing authorities and school corporation and such. In Sunday's paper, it should have 00:09:16.726 --> 00:09:26.494 - been published notice as well. And so that notice is for a public meeting that's going to be held on 00:09:27.266 --> 00:09:36.450 - February 5th in the council chambers. And at that time, all of those folks are invited to come. And 00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:46.185 - neighbors are invited to come. Public is invited. And there'll be a presentation on the test, residential 00:09:46.185 --> 00:09:54.910 - test, what they are, how they work, what these projects are. And then you make it is not being 00:09:55.618 --> 00:10:03.261 - publicized as a meeting for you to make a decision on the TIFS is just a step to take in information. 00:10:03.261 --> 00:10:11.204 - Because there may be information that we absorb that we think we need to make changes for before bringing 00:10:11.204 --> 00:10:18.697 - it to you. So sometime tomorrow or shortly thereafter, we're putting together a residential housing 00:10:18.697 --> 00:10:24.542 - development program for each of the projects to kind of lay out the projects. 00:10:25.026 --> 00:10:35.116 - And those will get posted on our website. February 5th is the neighborhood public meeting. At the February 00:10:35.116 --> 00:10:44.547 - 16th meeting, you'll be asked to consider the TIF declaratory resolution. And that's just a regular 00:10:44.547 --> 00:10:53.694 - meeting, not a hearing. And then that gets filed with the planning commission. And on March 9th, 00:10:53.922 --> 00:11:03.653 - The plan commission during a regular meeting will be asked to approve that. And then it will go to council 00:11:03.653 --> 00:11:12.746 - on March 25th to see if they approve it as well. And if it is approved by both of those, it'll come 00:11:12.746 --> 00:11:21.022 - back to the RDC on the April 6th meeting. And that will be advertised as a public hearing. 00:11:21.442 --> 00:11:29.767 - So at that time, we're getting public input at the public meeting. The technical public hearing is at 00:11:29.767 --> 00:11:38.011 - that time. And then if you decide to move forward to have a declaratory resolution is the first one. 00:11:38.011 --> 00:11:46.418 - And then the resolution on April would be a confirmatory resolution. And so that's kind of the process 00:11:46.418 --> 00:11:51.070 - that that goes through. So the key dates are February 5. 00:11:51.362 --> 00:12:02.427 - for the public meeting at 530, and the hearing would be also very important on April 6. So I wanted 00:12:02.427 --> 00:12:13.602 - to cover that. Also, since it's the beginning of the year, I wanted to continue to make you aware of 00:12:13.602 --> 00:12:19.134 - the conflict of interest statute. That's 35-44.1. 00:12:21.218 --> 00:12:30.948 - And basically, if you have a dependent, which could be a spouse of a public servant, a child, stepchild, 00:12:30.948 --> 00:12:40.863 - or adoptee who is not emancipated in less than 18 years of age, or an individual whose support you provide 00:12:40.863 --> 00:12:47.998 - more than one half of the years with would be the definition of a dependent. 00:12:48.642 --> 00:12:57.037 - And a pecuniary interest means an interest in a contract or purchase if the contract or purchase will 00:12:57.037 --> 00:13:05.678 - result or is intended to result in, and here's what's important, an ascertainable increase in the income 00:13:05.678 --> 00:13:14.073 - or net worth of the public servant or a dependent of the public servant. It is not a defense or it is 00:13:14.073 --> 00:13:17.118 - not an offense under this section if 00:13:17.474 --> 00:13:28.469 - any public servants makes a disclosure. And that includes eligible people to make disclosures include 00:13:28.469 --> 00:13:39.356 - appointees by elected public servants, which would be you guys. So if your income or net worth would 00:13:39.356 --> 00:13:46.686 - change because of a contract, then that needs to have a disclosure. 00:13:47.042 --> 00:13:56.418 - If it's a single event, then we can do a disclosure leading up to that. While the statute doesn't really 00:13:56.418 --> 00:14:05.348 - call for it, we don't have anything else in place to document it. So if someone is an employee of a 00:14:05.348 --> 00:14:10.974 - company, it would be good to fill out the conflict of interest 00:14:11.234 --> 00:14:18.077 - annually so at the beginning of the year fill it out say hey yeah just so people understand I do work 00:14:18.077 --> 00:14:25.255 - for these people but it does not you know I don't make more because of this particular contract it doesn't 00:14:25.255 --> 00:14:31.963 - increase me I don't get a percentage of the profits off of it or a commission or anything like that 00:14:31.963 --> 00:14:37.598 - I simply and an employee and get the same pay I always get and so again technically 00:14:37.762 --> 00:14:45.591 - That wouldn't require a conflict of interest. And we're talking about maybe putting together some sort 00:14:45.591 --> 00:14:53.268 - of safe harbor letter so that we still have notice. But I prefer to lean forward to transparency and 00:14:53.268 --> 00:15:01.249 - might as well do one. So I'm not sure who all those would affect. So if we could get that done sometime, 00:15:01.249 --> 00:15:06.494 - if we'd like my help filling it out, I'd be happy to help with that. 00:15:06.914 --> 00:15:14.008 - It's usually something that's discussed at the beginning of the year in boards and commissions. So I 00:15:14.008 --> 00:15:21.243 - just wanted to bring that to your attention. And I'm here for any questions you may have. If in doubt, 00:15:21.243 --> 00:15:28.688 - fill it out. When in doubt, fill it out. It doesn't hurt to fill it out. It's, again, it just, if anybody 00:15:28.688 --> 00:15:36.414 - would say something, even though it's not a violation, you can say, look, I went overboard, above and beyond. 00:15:36.674 --> 00:15:42.175 - fill that out. Clear transparency. Quick question, Dana. Based on your time frames and the resolutions 00:15:42.175 --> 00:15:47.623 - and why you went over it, while I'm attempting to write all of those down, would you be so kind as to 00:15:47.623 --> 00:15:53.178 - forward us those particular dates, times, and what those- Yes. Could they be included in the map? Yeah. 00:15:53.178 --> 00:15:58.626 - That'd be great if you could send it. And also send a tentative calendar invite that you guys- If you 00:15:58.626 --> 00:16:03.326 - could. Yeah, that would be helpful. I took some notes, but it'd be nice just to get it. 00:16:03.490 --> 00:16:10.503 - Yeah, we can do that. And the other thing, too, we'll put on your calendar is that January 12th, which 00:16:10.503 --> 00:16:17.721 - you guys are probably well aware of, is the planning commission meeting for Hopewell South PDD. So that's 00:16:17.721 --> 00:16:24.803 - next Monday. Is that at 5? It is. What's wrong? Oh, nothing major. It'll just be by Zoom. Oh, you won't 00:16:24.803 --> 00:16:31.680 - be there. I won't be there, unfortunately. Well, this is just the first planning commission meeting. 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:33.246 - There will be changes. 00:16:33.730 --> 00:16:40.691 - It's a process to get a PUD or anything. We didn't ask for a waiver or a second hearing. It's part of 00:16:40.691 --> 00:16:47.516 - the public process. Thank you for that legal report. If there's no other questions for legal, do we 00:16:47.516 --> 00:16:54.477 - have a treasurer's report? We do not have a current treasurer. I wasn't sure what the gap was or what 00:16:54.477 --> 00:17:01.575 - the timeline is. No. Our new treasurer will be starting, I believe, next week. OK. Excellent. One quick 00:17:01.575 --> 00:17:03.486 - question on the treasurers. 00:17:03.970 --> 00:17:10.349 - 4.6 million from the trades district. It's in the 444. No, it's not the 444 account. I'm going to utilize 00:17:10.349 --> 00:17:16.608 - that. That's where it says. It was supposed to be put back into the 2519. 2519. Which is our 444. Which 00:17:16.608 --> 00:17:22.686 - is the former 444. Thank you. Yes. OK. Yes. I'll try to keep that right this year. 2519. I know that 00:17:22.686 --> 00:17:29.246 - it was placed in a different account for a short period of time, but they moved it over. They moved it over. 00:17:31.234 --> 00:17:38.645 - Speaking of the treasurer, you all know, just so the public knows, that the fiscal officer of the unit 00:17:38.645 --> 00:17:45.839 - establishing the redevelopment commission is the treasurer of the redevelopment commission, so that 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:53.322 - would be the controller for the city of Bloomington, who controller elects here tonight. But currently, 00:17:53.322 --> 00:17:58.718 - that position is vacant for tonight. Please don't scare him. Just kidding. 00:17:59.330 --> 00:18:06.406 - Do we have a business development update? I don't see you. Jane is not with us today, so no business 00:18:06.406 --> 00:18:13.622 - development update. OK. There we go. OK. Well, if there's no other reports of officers and committees, 00:18:13.622 --> 00:18:20.769 - we'll go to the new business, which includes the election of officers for RDC for 2026. OK. For that, 00:18:20.769 --> 00:18:28.265 - each redevelopment commissioner does serve for one year, and they serve until the commissioner's successor 00:18:28.265 --> 00:18:29.246 - is appointed. 00:18:29.378 --> 00:18:38.016 - and is qualified. So before beginning of a commissioner's duties, they shall take an oath and subscribe 00:18:38.016 --> 00:18:46.406 - an oath of office in the usual form. So any new members would need to have the oath. Your oath stays 00:18:46.406 --> 00:18:54.961 - with you while you're continuing this position. And so a meeting for the purposeful organization would 00:18:54.961 --> 00:18:58.782 - be held at the first meeting day of the year. 00:18:59.202 --> 00:19:09.242 - And the commission shall choose one of their members as president, another as vice president, and another 00:19:09.242 --> 00:19:19.376 - as secretary. The president and the vice president shall not have the same appointing authority. I already 00:19:19.376 --> 00:19:27.806 - mentioned the treasurer. And so we need to continue in your offices until your exchange. 00:19:30.850 --> 00:19:39.228 - forward and electing new officers. We have not heard of any changes in appointments as of right now. 00:19:39.228 --> 00:19:47.606 - So you all would continue until you, if somebody else is appointed. So we're in or out. Well, so you 00:19:47.606 --> 00:19:55.984 - guys can continue to serve for up to 90 days. And we haven't seen any confirmations of anything yet. 00:19:55.984 --> 00:19:59.966 - Nobody's made any final decisions at this time. 00:20:00.098 --> 00:20:07.098 - Any election would be until they have been officially appointed, correct? Right. You can redo 00:20:07.098 --> 00:20:14.918 - the appointments when new members are added. Well, you can redo the appointments any time you all choose 00:20:14.918 --> 00:20:22.514 - to do so. Sounds fun. OK, so long story short, you need nominations for election of officers. Yes, it 00:20:22.514 --> 00:20:26.014 - would be. At this time and then in the future. 00:20:26.210 --> 00:20:31.865 - Yeah, at this particular time. And then if there's other members seated by the appointing bodies, which 00:20:31.865 --> 00:20:37.411 - is the mayor and the council, at that point, you could re-hold additional elections, if so, choose by 00:20:37.411 --> 00:20:43.066 - the board. Correct. Or I would feel more comfortable if we just get some sort of confirmation of what's 00:20:43.066 --> 00:20:48.667 - going on right now. It just shows that your term is expired as of this date, and you guys can continue 00:20:48.667 --> 00:20:54.159 - to serve for those 90 days. So then once we have any word from council and from mayor's office, then 00:20:54.159 --> 00:20:56.062 - at that point, we'll revisit this. 00:20:56.354 --> 00:21:04.433 - So continuation of continuity is always good in what we continue to do until such time as necessary. 00:21:04.433 --> 00:21:12.592 - So I would make a nomination providing that the current officers are willing to nominate the existing 00:21:12.592 --> 00:21:20.910 - slate. Second. Would there be any further nominations? If not, we'll get the existing slate. First off, 00:21:20.910 --> 00:21:22.750 - I guess I need to ask. 00:21:22.978 --> 00:21:30.067 - Is everybody willing to continue in such same offices? I'm willing to continue in that capacity. Want 00:21:30.067 --> 00:21:37.087 - to make sure because you hate to ask somebody and then say, oh, hold on. Wonderful. That's the case. 00:21:37.087 --> 00:21:44.107 - Thank you. Appreciate it. OK, so we have nomination on the floor. First and a second, dual roll call 00:21:44.107 --> 00:21:51.614 - vote. Cease scamblary, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. Lauren McRabbie, yes. Don West, yes. Deborah Meyerson, yes. 00:21:51.714 --> 00:21:59.275 - Motion passes unanimously for the election of officers for 2026 or until the next appointees arrive. 00:21:59.275 --> 00:22:06.986 - Thank you. Sorry, I'm pulling my agenda back up. Next item on the agenda is resolution 26-01, approval 00:22:06.986 --> 00:22:14.697 - of the 2026 RDC commission schedule. Hopefully, everybody's had a chance to review that. Are there any 00:22:14.697 --> 00:22:18.814 - questions or comments about the schedule as presented? 00:22:23.970 --> 00:22:33.020 - resolution 2601. Second. First and a second. We'll go by a roll call, please. Yes. Randy Cassidy. Yes. 00:22:33.020 --> 00:22:42.334 - Boring McRobbie. Yes. John West. Yes. Debra Mayerson. Yes. Most of them passed unanimously for resolution 00:22:42.334 --> 00:22:52.350 - 2601. Next on the agenda is resolution 2602, the approval of maintenance funds for, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the 00:22:52.994 --> 00:22:59.553 - the short version. But it's the approval of maintenance of property owned by the Redevelopment Commission 00:22:59.553 --> 00:23:05.741 - of the city of Bloomington. And I'll just note that as discussed during the hand director's report, 00:23:05.741 --> 00:23:12.425 - there was the proposal to amend this to include the cost of the shed cleanup on the College Square property 00:23:12.425 --> 00:23:18.860 - to this resolution as part of that maintenance cost. So do we need to amend this? You don't technically 00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:22.078 - need to amend it because this hasn't been paid yet. 00:23:22.370 --> 00:23:33.151 - So you're authorizing it as if you do consider it part of maintenance, then it would be authorized by 00:23:33.151 --> 00:23:44.143 - the passing of this resolution as it is. OK, that's easy. Good. It's also under the $5,000 cap for what 00:23:44.143 --> 00:23:46.046 - that's worth. OK. 00:23:46.466 --> 00:23:53.103 - So any other questions about resolution 2602? Yeah, and I'm going to ask a question. Please don't beat 00:23:53.103 --> 00:23:59.612 - me on this one, Ms. Christine. I'm so hard. As we look at this from a standpoint, just if we include 00:23:59.612 --> 00:24:06.507 - it either in the minutes and some list, to the best of our knowledge, because we have multiple properties, 00:24:06.507 --> 00:24:13.080 - what properties this would affect? I know the term all RDC properties, but in order to kind of get an 00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:13.918 - idea of what 00:24:14.242 --> 00:24:21.733 - Properties are included, because we've got a $300,000 cap at this point, which we're fortunate we haven't 00:24:21.733 --> 00:24:28.730 - been able to hit. But with all of the properties we own, between Parking Garage, Bunker Robertson, 00:24:28.730 --> 00:24:35.797 - the others, if we would have at least a baseline list that may not include all of what we have, but 00:24:35.797 --> 00:24:41.310 - what we know. We have a property list that we've provided to you guys before. 00:24:41.442 --> 00:24:48.247 - that are the main properties that are taking our funding for something like this. That being said, there's 00:24:48.247 --> 00:24:54.098 - an awful lot of tiny little right of ways that are all over the place that not necessarily. 00:24:54.098 --> 00:25:00.586 - As Dana put it, and I know you provided us a list, but if we could put that either list either in the 00:25:00.586 --> 00:25:07.518 - minutes or attached to this so that the public as a whole has a good idea of which properties would be main. 00:25:07.906 --> 00:25:15.378 - Yes, absolutely. And the other thing, too, is I believe you guys were shared something that I created 00:25:15.378 --> 00:25:22.703 - last year, which was going through the properties and what is our responsibility versus what is the 00:25:22.703 --> 00:25:30.175 - tenant's responsibility. So you have an idea. But a lot of these are related to snow, various things, 00:25:30.175 --> 00:25:32.446 - HVAC tune-ups, whatever it is. 00:25:32.578 --> 00:25:39.056 - And I'm not looking for the specifics. I just want to be able to, from a transparency standpoint, if 00:25:39.056 --> 00:25:45.663 - anyone asks, they could go to it and say, it was put out there. It's true. And I think we've discussed 00:25:45.663 --> 00:25:52.141 - this also. One of the issues with the way that the properties have been listed previously. So if you 00:25:52.141 --> 00:25:58.875 - go into the GIS, some of RDC properties might be listed under City of Plymouth. Some might be Department 00:25:58.875 --> 00:26:00.030 - of Redevelopment. 00:26:00.546 --> 00:26:07.035 - Some might be some other obscure name that isn't necessarily accurate. So it's very difficult to try 00:26:07.035 --> 00:26:13.781 - and pull out all of the various pieces. The ones that have been recorded under redevelopment commission, 00:26:13.781 --> 00:26:20.398 - you can see easily in the GIS. You have a good list of them. Again, many of them are tiny little right 00:26:20.398 --> 00:26:24.510 - of ways that really shouldn't be there. It shouldn't be on RDC. 00:26:24.738 --> 00:26:30.907 - Over a period of time, Dan will help clear that up. It is. It's been a mess, and it's something that 00:26:30.907 --> 00:26:37.199 - we've been working on over the last two years to try and really sort out, like, what exactly do we own 00:26:37.199 --> 00:26:43.307 - that is taking money? But we know what the key properties are. And that's all I ask is that the key 00:26:43.307 --> 00:26:50.026 - properties be inclusive so that it's OK. Yep. We are working on getting the existing deeds for the properties 00:26:50.026 --> 00:26:52.286 - those deliver in ways so that we can 00:26:53.602 --> 00:27:03.131 - Mainly for the right of ways, we just deed it over to the city. So to transfer property from one governmental 00:27:03.131 --> 00:27:11.967 - unit to another would take a resolution, similar resolution in both. So the mayor would actually have 00:27:11.967 --> 00:27:20.976 - a resolution that the mayor would pass saying that the city accepts these properties. So then you would 00:27:20.976 --> 00:27:22.622 - have a resolution. 00:27:22.754 --> 00:27:29.399 - I'll probably try to batch those so they're in areas so they're easier to go through. So I was thinking, 00:27:29.399 --> 00:27:35.854 - if you only had one meeting this month, I might have my first batch ready for you. I'm not asking for 00:27:35.854 --> 00:27:42.942 - immediacy. I'm just, I know the sins of the past should not be transferred to the new, but in the same respect. 00:27:43.106 --> 00:27:49.314 - Just as we approve money for this, I'd just like to see the baseline properties. And you've provided 00:27:49.314 --> 00:27:55.707 - it to the members, no questions. And if people look, they could find it. I just would like to see that. 00:27:55.707 --> 00:28:02.038 - Yeah, it's mostly Hopewell. There's three lots on Dog Street. It's the 4th Street garage. It's Showers 00:28:02.038 --> 00:28:08.246 - West. It's College Square. There's a little property over here on Morton that was the innovation lab 00:28:08.246 --> 00:28:11.934 - by the previous administration. It has a rental unit above. 00:28:12.610 --> 00:28:18.973 - Just some little pieces like that. Um, but those are the main ones. I appreciate that. Thank you. So 00:28:18.973 --> 00:28:25.524 - that could be appended as an exhibit to this resolution. Okay. Perfect. Without lots of. Right. I just, 00:28:25.524 --> 00:28:32.139 - I don't, what's difficult is that it's a little bit of forensic work. Those are the things that we know, 00:28:32.139 --> 00:28:36.990 - which the key properties are right now. I just don't know what I don't know. 00:28:37.154 --> 00:28:43.262 - Right, and the record keeping was not great. Yeah, if we just put a little thing in, key properties, 00:28:43.262 --> 00:28:49.309 - you know, not inclusive of all in that way. Right, yeah. Just don't get angry if there's one that I 00:28:49.309 --> 00:28:55.477 - don't know about. No, no anger. Just joy. We're trying to get it cleaned up, just the process. And we 00:28:55.477 --> 00:29:01.645 - do have a list of properties that have improvements because they are insured. So we have the insured. 00:29:01.645 --> 00:29:06.846 - Oh, there you go. That in itself. If you're just looking for the properties that have 00:29:07.266 --> 00:29:13.019 - Yeah, my main objective is the fact that we're approving money for maintenance on properties and I think 00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:18.498 - it's important that the public as a whole has an idea. They may never look, but it's always here we 00:29:18.498 --> 00:29:24.086 - did this and it's just the key properties that I'm looking at because we know what we spend our money 00:29:24.086 --> 00:29:29.839 - on. Well, even properties without buildings though and pure expenses like snow removal and mowing. Yeah, 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:35.592 - I'm not worried about the snow removal and mowing. Here's buildings or pieces that we have. I appreciate 00:29:35.592 --> 00:29:36.414 - it. Thank you. 00:29:37.122 --> 00:29:44.952 - Thank you for your help with those questions. Do we have a motion for resolution 2602? I'll make a motion 00:29:44.952 --> 00:29:52.560 - to approve. Second. First and a second, we'll vote by roll call. C. Scambler, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. 00:29:52.560 --> 00:30:00.094 - Laura McRobbie, yes. Don West, yes. Debra Meyers, yes. Motion for resolution 2602 passes unanimously. 00:30:01.186 --> 00:30:08.291 - Next item on the agenda is resolution 2603, which is the approval of funding for appraisals for property 00:30:08.291 --> 00:30:15.192 - within the allocation areas for the purpose of possible acquisition and redevelopment. Who would like 00:30:15.192 --> 00:30:22.229 - to speak to that? I'm happy to. It's your annual resolution for the appraisals. And I believe it's also 00:30:22.229 --> 00:30:25.342 - for sale, too. It's not just for acquisition. 00:30:25.538 --> 00:30:33.791 - So anything that you guys sell, you have to have two appraisals. You can only offer them for sale for 00:30:33.791 --> 00:30:41.964 - the average of those two appraisals. And so this is your annual resolution to allow that to occur as 00:30:41.964 --> 00:30:50.379 - needed. Thank you. Any questions or comments from commissioners on resolution 26 or 3? It's like rainy. 00:30:50.379 --> 00:30:54.910 - Should the resolution indicate that it is also relative 00:30:55.362 --> 00:31:05.952 - It also covers the sale of property, given that there are some conditions on how we have to do that. 00:31:05.952 --> 00:31:16.646 - Just ask me a question. It just talks about acquisition. No, it says it on the 1, 2, 3, 4, whereas it 00:31:16.646 --> 00:31:24.510 - says to either acquire or sell real property. Got it. Acquire or sell, OK. 00:31:24.962 --> 00:31:38.771 - or dispose of. Okay. Question. Yes, sir. I'm sure that you mean that 50,000's a cumulative number. Does 00:31:38.771 --> 00:31:52.713 - it really say that clearly? Well, it says various parts. Staff is requesting an amount for the necessary 00:31:52.713 --> 00:31:54.174 - appraisals 00:31:54.338 --> 00:32:05.147 - of various parcels of property within the consolidated TIF not to exceed $50,000. Yes, I believe everyone 00:32:05.147 --> 00:32:15.446 - has always considered that to be a cap. I believe this resolution does the same as it was last year. 00:32:15.446 --> 00:32:24.318 - So it approves payments. So to me, that would mean all payments not to exceed $50,000. 00:32:26.434 --> 00:32:37.686 - Okay, just asking. We might want to next time just make that a little more clear. Sure. Use the word 00:32:37.686 --> 00:32:49.496 - inclusive or something. Not to exceed a total of a year or something. Do we want to make that as amended? 00:32:49.496 --> 00:32:54.398 - I'm not asking for that, so it's up to you. 00:32:55.714 --> 00:33:03.953 - I think it's clear in the minutes what the intent is and then next year we can go ahead and adjust it. 00:33:03.953 --> 00:33:11.712 - Do we have any intent at the present moment as we look forward in 2026 to dispose of properties? 00:33:11.712 --> 00:33:20.111 - I hope so. Wonderful. Okay. Thank you. Quite a bit of it, hopefully. The nice thing is when you're going 00:33:20.111 --> 00:33:24.510 - from governmental unit to governmental unit, you don't 00:33:28.930 --> 00:33:35.465 - So that will not eat into our- So we're getting transferring those little right-of-ways and stuff like 00:33:35.465 --> 00:33:42.000 - that. It won't eat into our cumulative appraisal money. Yeah. OK. Wonderful. Thank you. Appreciate it. 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:48.725 - OK. Any other questions from commissioners? If not, I'll take a motion for resolution 2603. Move approval 00:33:48.725 --> 00:33:54.816 - of resolution 2603. Second. We have a first and a second. We'll do a vote by roll call, please. 00:33:54.816 --> 00:33:58.750 - C. Scambaleri, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. Laurie McRobbie, yes. 00:33:59.266 --> 00:34:06.967 - John West, yes. Debra Meyers, yes. Resolution 2603 passes unanimously. The last item of new business 00:34:06.967 --> 00:34:14.668 - on our agenda is resolution 2604, which is the approval of the right of entry for patron engineering 00:34:14.668 --> 00:34:22.750 - to conduct soil borings as part of the CCC grant. Looks like Mr. Blandford is here to speak to that. Yes. 00:34:23.330 --> 00:34:31.870 - And quick refresher for the public, the College and Community Collaboration Grant was awarded in partnership 00:34:31.870 --> 00:34:40.096 - between Indiana University, the city, and the mill. Part of the city's remit is site readiness for three 00:34:40.096 --> 00:34:48.244 - major public art installations. Right now, we've identified 10 sites that we'd like to bring in Patriot 00:34:48.244 --> 00:34:50.046 - Geotech to study soil. 00:34:50.306 --> 00:34:57.189 - readiness and make recommendations for possible foundations for those public art pieces. So this is 00:34:57.189 --> 00:35:04.210 - a right of entry request. There will be no cost to the RDC. Everything with this work is being funded 00:35:04.210 --> 00:35:11.368 - by the grant. I'm available for any questions. Any questions from commissioners? Given the, where we're 00:35:11.368 --> 00:35:18.526 - going to, I mean, soil boiling is extremely important to make sure our foundations aren't falling over. 00:35:19.330 --> 00:35:25.368 - selected all the pieces of art that's going here in all these locations? No, this is proactive early 00:35:25.368 --> 00:35:31.346 - work. There are early concepts and some sites amongst the ten that we're hopeful will work out, but 00:35:31.346 --> 00:35:37.324 - we're kind of looking ahead knowing that we don't have the final artist selected. None of them have 00:35:37.324 --> 00:35:43.541 - been contracted yet through IU. So it's really just a matter of identifying whether there are any sites 00:35:43.541 --> 00:35:47.486 - that we need to take completely off the board or if there are any 00:35:48.130 --> 00:35:54.739 - specific limitations to sites that we need to make the artists aware of in advance while they're working 00:35:54.739 --> 00:36:01.286 - on their concepts. Okay, so these will be just the site selection that says here's your geotech of what 00:36:01.286 --> 00:36:07.706 - you could put here. Yes, exactly. We want to avoid rumors of the library sinking. Exactly. Yes. Okay. 00:36:07.706 --> 00:36:14.253 - Perfect. Any other questions or comments from commissioners? Open it to public comment. Anything online 00:36:14.253 --> 00:36:15.134 - or in person? 00:36:15.362 --> 00:36:23.190 - I'm not seeing any. We'll entertain a motion for Resolution 2604, please. I'll make a motion to approve 00:36:23.190 --> 00:36:30.942 - as noted. Second. We'll go first and a second. We'll do a vote by roll call, please. Sue Skimler, yes. 00:36:30.942 --> 00:36:38.695 - Randy Cassidy, yes. Laura McRobbie, yes. Conn West, yes. Deborah Meyerson, yes. Resolution 2604 passes 00:36:38.695 --> 00:36:42.910 - unanimously. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. 00:36:44.642 --> 00:36:53.555 - That's all for our new business on the agenda. Is there anything else for business or general discussion 00:36:53.555 --> 00:37:02.299 - for this evening? How many resolutions did we end up with last year? Like 150. Plays and bets for this 00:37:02.299 --> 00:37:11.806 - year. I was just reminded when I saw 2601. It was, yeah, 25, 156 was the last one. How much money did we spend? 00:37:12.194 --> 00:37:18.750 - A lot. Well, you committed more than you probably spent. That's kind of where I'm at. As we start out 00:37:18.750 --> 00:37:25.370 - our 2026 year saying, OK, what do we have committed? So as we look forward on these resolutions, we're 00:37:25.370 --> 00:37:31.991 - not over extending ourselves based on our previous resolutions. I know you won't allow that to happen. 00:37:31.991 --> 00:37:38.547 - I'm sure our new treasurer definitely won't. Right. And I will say that we are in a much better place 00:37:38.547 --> 00:37:41.118 - this year than we have been in the past 00:37:41.282 --> 00:37:47.940 - As you know, Jessica did a very in-depth analysis to say, okay. And Christina was absolutely pivotal 00:37:47.940 --> 00:37:54.599 - in keeping track of all of those resolutions and how much money has been spent and how much has been 00:37:54.599 --> 00:38:01.191 - committed to. So we have a much better handle on that now. There was not as great of record keeping 00:38:01.191 --> 00:38:07.454 - previously. So we are in a much better place today to be able to really tell you where we are. 00:38:07.938 --> 00:38:14.553 - Great. And I do want to commend Christina and Jessica and yourself for everything that's gone on to 00:38:14.553 --> 00:38:21.500 - keep track of the dollars because as you well know, with our current new legislation, dollars are tight. 00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:28.115 - They are. OK. Thank you. OK. One last question. More? Yeah. It has nothing to do. When is the hotel 00:38:28.115 --> 00:38:34.863 - for the trades districts playing commission? Does anyone know? I actually think that they're going on 00:38:34.863 --> 00:38:36.318 - the 12th as well. OK. 00:38:36.482 --> 00:38:43.761 - So both of those will be on the agenda. It's gonna be a big day, yep. It's gonna be a big day. Okay. 00:38:43.761 --> 00:38:51.185 - Thank you. Okay. So if there's no other business or general discussion, I'll take a motion to adjourn. 00:38:51.185 --> 00:38:58.392 - So moved. So moved. All right. Okay. Thank you all. Good first meeting of the year. Look forward to 00:38:58.392 --> 00:39:04.734 - working with you this year. And we'll move forward. And we're all on our way to John's.
