Hi, everybody. 00:00:47.375 --> 00:00:55.038 - So the first item on our agenda is the minutes for, sorry, we're going to do the reports. 00:00:56.386 --> 00:01:02.389 - We'll do that later, sorry. I'm just out of practice. We've been out of session for a little bit. We're 00:01:02.389 --> 00:01:08.391 - gonna start with minutes for the executive session of June 15th, 2026, the regular meeting of also June 00:01:08.391 --> 00:01:14.279 - 15th, and then the executive session from July 14th, 2026. If you have any questions or comments from 00:01:14.279 --> 00:01:19.358 - commissioners, we can take these separately if needed. If not, I'll entertain a motion. 00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:26.562 - Move approval of the minutes for the executive session of June 15th, the regular meeting of June 15th, 00:01:26.562 --> 00:01:33.273 - and the executive session on July 14th. Second. We have a first and a second. All in favor say aye. 00:01:33.273 --> 00:01:40.185 - Aye. Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Next item on the agenda is the claims register from June 5th and 00:01:40.185 --> 00:01:47.165 - July 2nd, 2026. Any questions or comments from commissioners on either of these claims registers? Yeah, 00:01:47.165 --> 00:01:48.574 - I've got a question. 00:01:48.706 --> 00:01:57.560 - June 5th claim, page two, claim number 321, HFI bill. I just wonder what property that pertains to. 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:07.210 - Wait, I'm sorry, tell me again where that is. Page, it's at the, June 5th. The replacement of the controller 00:02:07.210 --> 00:02:15.710 - for the chemical treatment systems. Oh, yeah, I can answer that. That's Showers West, and yeah, 00:02:15.810 --> 00:02:23.898 - It showers west and it's basically a system that makes sure that the fluid going to the HVAC doesn't 00:02:23.898 --> 00:02:32.066 - freeze. Any other questions from commissioners on either of these clean registers? If not, I will ask 00:02:32.066 --> 00:02:40.394 - for a motion. You're doing both at the same time. Well, again, they can be separated upon request. I've 00:02:40.394 --> 00:02:44.958 - combined them unless there's a request to separate them. 00:02:45.474 --> 00:02:55.644 - I'm just going to ask a question on the second. On July 2nd, page four, pay number 6M14. Kent, I just 00:02:55.644 --> 00:03:06.014 - need to be, we have a partnership agreement with Dimension Bill. Can you just review that real quickly? 00:03:11.458 --> 00:03:18.710 - Sorry, what's the question? How does our partnership agreement work? Well, it's a claim for hundreds. 00:03:18.710 --> 00:03:25.963 - That's a portion of our annual payment to them for the partnership agreement and for that they manage 00:03:25.963 --> 00:03:33.642 - basically the facilities and portions of all of our trans-district activities. Is that a rollover agreement 00:03:33.642 --> 00:03:40.894 - or do we renew it every year? It's multi-year and it will take me a second but I can look up when the 00:03:41.250 --> 00:03:52.802 - We renewed it in 2024, I believe. And I think it goes into 2028. All right. That was good. Thank you. 00:03:52.802 --> 00:04:04.127 - Any other questions on either of these claims registered from commissioners? If not, I'll ask for a 00:04:04.127 --> 00:04:09.790 - motion. I'll make the motion to approve as noted. 00:04:10.274 --> 00:04:16.660 - Got a first and a second, all in favor say aye. Aye. Motion passes unanimously. Next item of the agenda 00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:22.985 - is the payroll registers for June 12th, June 26th, and July 10th, 2026. Any questions or comments from 00:04:22.985 --> 00:04:29.311 - commissioners on any of these? Again, we'll take these collectively unless requested to separate them. 00:04:29.311 --> 00:04:35.206 - I move for approval for all three. Second. Got a first and a second, all in favor say aye. Aye. 00:04:35.206 --> 00:04:37.662 - Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. 00:04:38.274 --> 00:04:45.655 - We'll go on to reports. I believe the director's report. No formal director's report. I do want to call 00:04:45.655 --> 00:04:53.320 - attention to a letter that we received from five council members related to the south parcels and potential 00:04:53.320 --> 00:05:00.560 - trade. I also do want to call attention that the capital improvement board did vote last week to move 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:07.870 - forward on the parcels that the RDC actually transferred to the CIB, which were formerly parking lots. 00:05:08.098 --> 00:05:16.180 - for the host hotel. So I do have a question related to that. We did perform an appraisal on those parcels, 00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:24.263 - totaling $3.15 million. And I think that was actually really, I think we were missing one of those parcels 00:05:24.263 --> 00:05:31.816 - because we thought it was previously owned by Public Works. So we only did the appraisal on some of 00:05:31.816 --> 00:05:37.406 - those parcels, not realizing that we actually did own that fourth parcel. 00:05:38.306 --> 00:05:45.623 - So would it be OK with you guys? Would you have any objections for me to share that appraisal with the 00:05:45.623 --> 00:05:52.798 - CIB? Any objections? No? OK. We've already transferred the parcel. We've already transferred it, but 00:05:52.798 --> 00:06:00.257 - they may find that beneficial in utilizing those appraisals. Make sure they just know that it's on three 00:06:00.257 --> 00:06:02.814 - of the four. Yes, I certainly will. 00:06:03.682 --> 00:06:13.841 - Moving forward, happy to answer any questions. And Isabel, did you want to say anything about the letter 00:06:13.841 --> 00:06:23.807 - that was sent from the Common Council? Moving on. Legal report. I have nothing to report, but I'm here 00:06:23.807 --> 00:06:31.838 - for questions if you have. Thank you. We have a judge's report. So because of some 00:06:32.098 --> 00:06:38.684 - staff leave we do not have the the formal treasure or the formal rdc project status report we'll have 00:06:38.684 --> 00:06:45.141 - that by the next meeting but i did kind of want to call out just talk about the the fund balances a 00:06:45.141 --> 00:06:51.727 - bit just because we have now received our spring settlement i think i talked a little bit more detail 00:06:51.727 --> 00:06:57.022 - about that a couple of weeks ago but i just wanted to let everybody know what the 00:06:57.218 --> 00:07:06.675 - what the fund balances are right now. In the RDC fund, that's the 25-19 fund, we're at $1,475,935, 00:07:06.675 --> 00:07:16.227 - so $1.47 million. For the consolidated TIF, we are now up to $39.8 million. That's an increase from 00:07:16.227 --> 00:07:23.582 - the last report of $27 million after the spring settlement. We, the pro-TIF, 00:07:23.714 --> 00:07:31.225 - We've got 833,000. And the meridium tiff, the spider tiff, still has a fund balance of zero. And that's, 00:07:31.225 --> 00:07:38.377 - I also wanted to mention that I've been working with the assessor's office and the auditor's office 00:07:38.377 --> 00:07:45.602 - to try to sort out what's going on with that. I will just say the technical term is it's a mess. And 00:07:45.602 --> 00:07:51.038 - it'll take us probably, and apparently this is a mess that goes back years. 00:07:51.170 --> 00:08:00.406 - I managed to contact the former controller, and she was quite helpful in helping me understand how far 00:08:00.406 --> 00:08:09.374 - they got. But at some point, we need to see some of the increments show up in that spider tiff, and 00:08:09.374 --> 00:08:17.086 - it's not yet. That's still zero. So expect more soon, but we don't have anything yet. 00:08:17.922 --> 00:08:26.389 - Quick question just to verify, you say on the PROW TIF there was $838,000? $833,000. Which I said the 00:08:26.389 --> 00:08:34.689 - PROW TIF. It is the PROW TIF. I wanted to make sure. $833,000. And that has to be dealt with in the 00:08:34.689 --> 00:08:42.492 - next year. No, it just won't continue to grow. It won't continue to grow. Thank you. And then 00:08:42.492 --> 00:08:46.974 - the consolidated TIF, that's where the funds from the 00:08:48.450 --> 00:08:56.458 - Trades District went? Yes, ultimately. Okay, that's what I wanted to verify. It wasn't in the 2519 account. 00:08:56.458 --> 00:09:04.022 - Correct. Okay, thank you. Okay, any other questions? Thank you for that report. Do we have a business 00:09:04.022 --> 00:09:11.956 - development update? Yeah, just a couple updates. One, I wanted to let commissioners know that we submitted 00:09:11.956 --> 00:09:16.702 - our application for a designation for 2.0 Opportunity Zones and 00:09:17.122 --> 00:09:24.361 - we applied for the census tracts that include Hopewell East, Hopewell East, West and South. So we're 00:09:24.361 --> 00:09:31.743 - hopeful that that will be approved and we would find out about that in October. That would be approved 00:09:31.743 --> 00:09:39.269 - by the governor's office and then recommended to the feds. And then the second thing I wanted to mention 00:09:39.269 --> 00:09:40.702 - is that the city is 00:09:40.898 --> 00:09:47.784 - is really excited to be partnering again with the consortium group on a ready arts and culture grant 00:09:47.784 --> 00:09:54.601 - that we received in the amount of $3 million that will foster more development of an arts campus in 00:09:54.601 --> 00:10:01.487 - the trades district and will have some of that activity centered on the showers admin building which 00:10:01.487 --> 00:10:09.054 - was an original RDC redevelopment project way back when. So excited to see that continue to evolve and support 00:10:09.538 --> 00:10:15.902 - growth in the creative economy in the trades district. So essentially three million dollars will be 00:10:15.902 --> 00:10:22.329 - spent for programming for. It's pretty it's multifaceted probably more than I can summarize here but 00:10:22.329 --> 00:10:29.266 - it's a regional play so it'll help us invite regional artists into Bloomington and will facilitate different 00:10:29.266 --> 00:10:35.820 - disciplines and there are multiple sites across the community that are supported and then there's also 00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:38.366 - a resource hub that will be online just 00:10:38.530 --> 00:10:45.852 - for artists across the uplands region. Okay, so it's not just specifically here. Not just specifically 00:10:45.852 --> 00:10:52.962 - here, but key part of it is housed in the trade district. Okay, and just for everybody, what is the 00:10:52.962 --> 00:11:00.639 - REDI exactly? I cannot recite the acronym to you, but it's a state, yeah, it's a state economic development 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.758 - transformative grant thinking opportunity that grew out of the pandemic 00:11:06.082 --> 00:11:13.566 - been really successful in transforming placemaking and quality of place across the state. And so it's 00:11:13.566 --> 00:11:20.903 - continued. Hopewell received a REDI grant for Jackson Street. There was another REDI grant received 00:11:20.903 --> 00:11:28.313 - in an earlier version, or REDI 2.0 in, sorry, REDI 1.0 for sewer extension, kind of adjacent to Novo 00:11:28.313 --> 00:11:35.870 - Nordisk. Summit has, Summit District has received a REDI grant, again, for infrastructure, $4 million. 00:11:36.066 --> 00:11:43.142 - And then this is kind of the newest, Arts and Culture was like another third round of grant making, 00:11:43.142 --> 00:11:50.219 - supported by Lilly. And the city of Bloomington has put those in, submitted, and been successful in 00:11:50.219 --> 00:11:57.932 - this. Yes, but this ready, this Arts and Culture grant, IU is the lead, so the city's really in a supportive 00:11:57.932 --> 00:12:05.150 - partner role, but not a lead role. Which is nice because we don't have to do all that administration. 00:12:05.570 --> 00:12:11.893 - During the 2.0 opportunity zones, what are the implications of that? That makes this grant eligible, 00:12:11.893 --> 00:12:18.466 - I assume? Yes. So that whole program exists to attract private sector development into highly distressed 00:12:18.466 --> 00:12:24.789 - census tracts. And so the hope would be, well, and what it does is for those private investments, if 00:12:24.789 --> 00:12:31.112 - they set up what's called a qualified opportunity fund and they invest in those pre-approved, highly 00:12:31.112 --> 00:12:34.430 - distressed census tracts, then they get a protection 00:12:34.754 --> 00:12:42.538 - tenure protection on capital gains. And so the idea is that those tracks hope well, and if there were 00:12:42.538 --> 00:12:50.627 - three total that we applied for, if they get approved, then they'll kind of be magnets for private sector 00:12:50.627 --> 00:12:58.487 - development. And they'll make it really easier for us to market those projects and parcels. Thank you. 00:12:58.487 --> 00:12:59.326 - Thank you. 00:13:00.706 --> 00:13:08.178 - OK. Well, thank you for those reports. We'll go on to new business. We have the bid opening for College 00:13:08.178 --> 00:13:15.506 - Square. Thank you. I have not opened any of these yet, so I'm going to unlock this folder. And I will 00:13:15.506 --> 00:13:22.978 - read out the names of who has proposed and see if I can find a brief summary in the order in which that 00:13:22.978 --> 00:13:28.510 - they were received. Let the record show at 5, 16 PM. I am opening the first. 00:13:35.842 --> 00:13:46.231 - It is a proposal from Concord Hospitality, TWG Development, Ratio Design, and Shield Sexton. Bear with 00:13:46.231 --> 00:13:56.620 - me. Let me see if I can find a brief summary. Our proposal recognizes the opportunity for both a hotel 00:13:56.620 --> 00:14:02.974 - that meets the functional needs outlined in the offering sheet 00:14:03.234 --> 00:14:10.549 - including approximately 160 rooms, full service amenities, and support for convention center activity, 00:14:10.549 --> 00:14:18.005 - and a complementary mixed-use residential component that supports downtown vitality, integrates housing, 00:14:18.005 --> 00:14:25.249 - including replacement of significantly affordable below market rate units, and activates the district 00:14:25.249 --> 00:14:32.990 - beyond event-driven demand. So what that means, we will need to do a deep dive into what these actually say. 00:14:33.570 --> 00:14:46.822 - And then the other offer received, bear with me, it's opening, is from Dora Hospitality and the Louder 00:14:46.822 --> 00:14:57.630 - Bag Group. They're submitting the proposal for the redevelopment of College Square. 00:15:00.834 --> 00:15:06.823 - The proposal delivers two complimentary projects on a single site, a 135-room boutique upscale hotel 00:15:06.823 --> 00:15:12.871 - on a southern portion of the project site along 3rd Street, and an approximately 100-unit market-rate 00:15:12.871 --> 00:15:19.037 - apartment community on the northern portion along 4th Street. Connecting them is a landscaped promenade 00:15:19.037 --> 00:15:24.967 - running through the interior of the block, a shared gathering space that activates the heart of the 00:15:24.967 --> 00:15:28.702 - site and draws pedestrians from College Avenue to the beeline. 00:15:30.722 --> 00:15:37.820 - So again, we haven't analyzed these. I don't have any other details. Those are the summaries. We'll 00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:44.990 - have to talk about what's going on. I'm getting messages that the audio is not working. And I wonder 00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:52.159 - if we might need to just check the audio. And then I don't know if we should reread those responses. 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.702 - Yeah, I'd kind of like to hear the list of the proposers again. 00:15:58.050 --> 00:16:08.616 - Is it working? Is the audio working now? Who is saying this? Eric Ust was online and... Can you check 00:16:08.616 --> 00:16:13.278 - the chat, please? Or check the audio inputs. 00:16:28.994 --> 00:16:37.679 - All the mics are on. Who has the meeting? Tammy has it right now. So I would just check the audio, the 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:46.110 - mic input, within Zoom. And then I would check the system settings. Let me see that. And if we need 00:16:46.110 --> 00:16:54.964 - to restart the hour, we can. Enough. How do you come through the volume that's just very low? OK, that's 00:16:54.964 --> 00:16:57.662 - helpful. We turn the volume up. 00:16:59.330 --> 00:17:08.453 - All right, can you tell us, is that better? Is that better? Someone says I can hear fine. Yeah. Dr. 00:17:08.453 --> 00:17:17.942 - Winston said she could hear, but it was a little fuzzy, but she's giving us a thumbs up now. Thank you. 00:17:17.942 --> 00:17:22.686 - All right. 516, I think it was. I opened the first. 00:17:23.778 --> 00:17:36.888 - offer that was opened in the order that they were received. I will go back to that again. So the first 00:17:36.888 --> 00:17:49.997 - offer received was from Concord Hospitality TWG Ratio Design and Shield Sexton. And it looks like it's 00:17:49.997 --> 00:17:52.670 - a two part strategy. 00:17:53.634 --> 00:18:00.338 - proposal recognizes the opportunity for both a hotel meets the functional needs outlined in the offering 00:18:00.338 --> 00:18:06.914 - sheet, including approximately 160 rooms, full service amenities and support for the convention center 00:18:06.914 --> 00:18:13.426 - activity, and a complimentary mixed use residential component that supports downtown vitality. And it 00:18:13.426 --> 00:18:20.130 - includes the replacement of significantly affordable below market rate units, and activates the district 00:18:20.130 --> 00:18:21.918 - beyond event during demand. 00:18:23.906 --> 00:18:36.031 - Other offer that was received is from Dora Hospitality and the Ladderback Group. And it delivers two 00:18:36.031 --> 00:18:48.276 - complimentary projects on a single site, a 135-room boutique upscale hotel on the southern portion of 00:18:48.276 --> 00:18:52.478 - the project site along 3rd Street, 00:18:52.642 --> 00:18:58.948 - and an approximately 100-unit market-rate apartment community on the northern portion along 4th Street. 00:18:58.948 --> 00:19:05.255 - Connecting them is a landscaped promenade running through the interior of the block, a shared gathering 00:19:05.255 --> 00:19:11.500 - space that activates the heart of the site and draws pedestrians through College Avenue to the Beeline 00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:17.867 - Trail. So again, we will have to do a deep dive as to what's in all of these offerings. I haven't looked 00:19:17.867 --> 00:19:20.414 - at it yet, and we'll have to report back. 00:19:23.170 --> 00:19:31.243 - Thank you. Next item in the agenda is Resolution 2646, which is the approval of an undulate artwork 00:19:31.243 --> 00:19:39.316 - concrete foundation construction agreement with the NB Paving LLC. Who would like to speak to that? 00:19:39.316 --> 00:19:47.551 - I can. So undulate art is the art that's been approved for Hopewell Commons and Hopewell East. Within 00:19:47.551 --> 00:19:52.798 - that contract that was approved in Resolution 2467, it says that 00:19:53.218 --> 00:20:03.377 - The city will take responsibility for site preparation. So we did a bid through our OpenGov procurement 00:20:03.377 --> 00:20:13.927 - system. For 30 days, the dates are escaping me right now, but we received three bids. The lowest responsive 00:20:13.927 --> 00:20:22.718 - and responsible bidder is EMB Paving. Their quote is for $48,295. Like I said, this would 00:20:23.266 --> 00:20:30.026 - laid concrete foundations in order for the artist to install the actual art sculpture onto them. As 00:20:30.026 --> 00:20:36.989 - a part of that bidding process, we made it very clear that the site is sensitive with the brick pavers 00:20:36.989 --> 00:20:43.952 - and all of that. And so we're being really specific about where they can access it and how to go about 00:20:43.952 --> 00:20:49.630 - accessing it. So we're very protective of the site as I'm sure you all are as well. 00:20:50.914 --> 00:20:57.803 - That's it. We're asking for that funding so we can get this art piece installed. Any questions or comments 00:20:57.803 --> 00:21:04.692 - from commissioners on resolution 2646? Have we done a, we're going to do a site evaluation of the existing 00:21:04.692 --> 00:21:11.323 - site prior to thing on this contract because the whole site was done by milestone previously. And this 00:21:11.323 --> 00:21:17.182 - was bringing another contractor in to make sure, as you said, protection of the site. Yes. 00:21:17.346 --> 00:21:23.729 - Once it's been awarded, we will do a site walk with the contractor as well as engineering department 00:21:23.729 --> 00:21:30.049 - and parks department have been heavily involved and are aware of all of those staff work that Miles 00:21:30.049 --> 00:21:36.811 - did. They have that historical knowledge. As you said, we want to make sure that we don't tear up anything 00:21:36.811 --> 00:21:40.350 - that we've already done. Exactly. All right, thank you. 00:21:42.498 --> 00:21:50.759 - Any other questions or comments from commissioners? If not, we'll put it up for public comment for resolution 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:58.419 - 2646. Seeing anything in person or online, I will open it for a motion for this resolution. I'll move 00:21:58.419 --> 00:22:05.628 - approval of resolution 2646. Second. We've got a first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. 00:22:05.628 --> 00:22:11.486 - Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Thank you. Do we have a time frame for this? 00:22:12.322 --> 00:22:19.532 - I am pushing before the end of the year for the full install. Sorry, just to be clear. And this is all 00:22:19.532 --> 00:22:26.672 - just clarification. This is all part of our. Thank you. OK, the next item on our agenda is resolution 00:22:26.672 --> 00:22:33.812 - 2647, which is the acknowledgement of estimated costs of public infrastructure improvement design for 00:22:33.812 --> 00:22:40.882 - Sudbury Drive and South Adams Street within the summit district planning development. Who would like 00:22:40.882 --> 00:22:42.142 - to speak to that? 00:22:43.426 --> 00:22:53.738 - happy to discuss this one. This is just an acknowledgement. You have already approved a memorandum of 00:22:53.738 --> 00:23:04.050 - understanding and agreement with the Sudbury group as far as agreeing to pay for the design of public 00:23:04.050 --> 00:23:12.542 - infrastructure for Sudbury Drive and Adams Street that lies within the Sudbury PUD. 00:23:12.802 --> 00:23:24.244 - Our engineering folks have worked very diligently going through step by step with Stantec, who is the 00:23:24.244 --> 00:23:35.798 - engineering folks that Sudbury is using to be able to make sure that all of the design work that would 00:23:35.798 --> 00:23:40.958 - be paid for from funds by the RDC is only for 00:23:41.186 --> 00:23:48.446 - those things that are public infrastructure and necessary for the installation of public infrastructure. 00:23:48.446 --> 00:23:55.567 - So they've done a really good job of keeping that separate from what might be private. I know that was 00:23:55.567 --> 00:24:03.518 - a concern of the RDC to keep that separate. Again, engineering has been going through this with a fine-tooth comb. 00:24:03.650 --> 00:24:14.246 - But I felt for record keeping that it would be, and for your knowledge, of course, that it would be 00:24:14.246 --> 00:24:24.842 - nice to have an acknowledgement that the estimated project cost for that design work is $1,188,000. 00:24:24.842 --> 00:24:31.518 - And they are completing their estimate for the private design. 00:24:31.650 --> 00:24:39.698 - And then they'll be entering into a contract to be able to move forward with beginning that design. 00:24:39.698 --> 00:24:47.826 - So again, hats off to the engineering department who worked really diligently to make sure that they 00:24:47.826 --> 00:24:56.196 - separated out everything to make sure that public dollars were only being used with what was absolutely 00:24:56.196 --> 00:24:57.886 - necessary for public 00:24:58.050 --> 00:25:07.406 - designed for public infrastructure. So again, this is just an acknowledgement. And even the attachment 00:25:07.406 --> 00:25:16.490 - shows the breakout of the different classifications of the different areas. And you can see some of 00:25:16.490 --> 00:25:26.846 - the detail that they went into for that. So we just want for you to acknowledge that this is the amount that they 00:25:27.362 --> 00:25:35.377 - they have estimated, and that it's part of your record. OK, thank you. Well, I'd like to ask a question. 00:25:35.377 --> 00:25:43.009 - Oh, yeah, I'm going to open this question for you. Did you or did I? I am. It's open for questions. 00:25:43.009 --> 00:25:50.871 - This, I'm going to ask Dana, but Randy, you may want to weigh in on this. I'm not a huge fan of a time 00:25:50.871 --> 00:25:57.054 - material contract. Is this typical for this type of work? My understanding from. 00:25:57.442 --> 00:26:07.286 - Our focus on engineering is yes that it is because there are so many unknowns this early on to get an 00:26:07.286 --> 00:26:17.034 - exact amount that this is and not to exceed amount at this time. And so they would not be able to go 00:26:17.034 --> 00:26:26.782 - further without coming back to the table. At the end of the day it will be the five million rolling. 00:26:26.882 --> 00:26:35.473 - then not to exceed for all of the things that the RDC is looking at in that area, yes. But for the design 00:26:35.473 --> 00:26:43.658 - of these two roadways, this is what the RDC would be looking at. And this is for the engineering for 00:26:43.658 --> 00:26:52.492 - all of the public structure for Adams Street and Sudbury Drive. Correct, sir. Which connects the north-south 00:26:52.492 --> 00:26:56.382 - thoroughfare and then also creates an east-west 00:26:56.706 --> 00:27:04.792 - Yes, east-west connector between that and Wimmer Road or when they may be there. Yeah, at a future date. 00:27:04.792 --> 00:27:12.648 - And with that, given the time frame they're looking at, we're talking approximately a year. Yeah. OK. 00:27:12.648 --> 00:27:20.580 - Yeah. Request professional services is what this really comes down to. And then this will allow to get 00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:25.278 - an idea of what construction costs would be for that without 00:27:25.730 --> 00:27:33.973 - doing this, we would have no idea. Essentially, once this is done, we have a design for what is going 00:27:33.973 --> 00:27:42.136 - to be built for the public infrastructure in order to help construct hundreds of thousands of homes. 00:27:42.136 --> 00:27:50.460 - Yes, this is definitely public infrastructure, making connections that need to be made for North-South 00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:53.854 - thoroughfares. The other parts of this is 00:27:54.082 --> 00:28:03.945 - is just one part. The other parts in that area include looking at Vanguard connecting from Tap Road 00:28:03.945 --> 00:28:13.807 - up to Weimar in a straight line. It also includes offsite developments, looking at intersections to 00:28:13.807 --> 00:28:23.966 - improving intersections. So this will greatly improve the connectivity of that whole area that is very 00:28:24.674 --> 00:28:34.541 - underserved with roadways at this point. OK. Any other questions or comments from the commissioners 00:28:34.541 --> 00:28:44.902 - that's not open for public comment? Nothing in line or in person? I'll entertain a motion for resolution 00:28:44.902 --> 00:28:50.526 - 2647. I would like to make a comment prior to something. 00:28:50.690 --> 00:28:58.604 - I happen to be an adjoining property owner to this, so I'm going to abstain from voting because this 00:28:58.604 --> 00:29:06.596 - does impact a property, or could it potentially impact a property that I do own. It will or it won't. 00:29:06.596 --> 00:29:14.509 - Thank you for that clarification. OK, so with that one abstention, we have any motion for resolution 00:29:14.509 --> 00:29:18.270 - 2647. Move approval of resolution 2647. Second. 00:29:18.498 --> 00:29:27.881 - A first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. We've got any opposed? We've got four in favor and 00:29:27.881 --> 00:29:37.451 - one abstention. And the motion passes. That's the end of our new business on our agenda. Is there any 00:29:37.451 --> 00:29:47.678 - other items to bring before we adjourn? Not at this time. We're going to take the openings under advisement. 00:29:48.226 --> 00:29:54.244 - Yeah, I was tricked by the book, took them in as they were received, didn't look at them, kept them 00:29:54.244 --> 00:30:00.443 - in a locked folder until we just opened them this evening. So I don't know what's in there. Obviously, 00:30:00.443 --> 00:30:06.461 - with any offer, it's not just about purchase price. A lot of times, there can be other details that 00:30:06.461 --> 00:30:12.479 - can offset. So we're going to do a deep dive as to what each offer contains and try to come up with 00:30:12.479 --> 00:30:13.502 - your next steps. 00:30:16.482 --> 00:30:29.628 - Okay, well with that I'll take a motion to adjourn. The RDC doesn't take public comment for items not 00:30:29.628 --> 00:30:43.806 - on our agenda. That's our policy. There are not yet been even considered by the RDC, much less by the public. 00:30:47.170 --> 00:30:55.848 - will lean towards legal on how to proceed. We have to determine what we have first before we can even 00:30:55.848 --> 00:31:04.356 - have anything to talk about yet. But we'll look into them, and then we will present publicly what's 00:31:04.356 --> 00:31:13.204 - involved in those offers. I have a simple question. Does each of those projects have a financial number 00:31:13.204 --> 00:31:16.862 - attached to it? I didn't even go that far. 00:31:16.962 --> 00:31:23.564 - I mean, but do they? I didn't see that on the first two pages that I glanced at, so I have no idea what 00:31:23.564 --> 00:31:30.102 - they said. We hear the CIB offers those money attached to them, and I wondered if each of these offers 00:31:30.102 --> 00:31:36.514 - had a dollar fee. It wasn't in the project summary at the top, which is, that's the first. The RDC's 00:31:36.514 --> 00:31:42.862 - opening of proposals is not exactly the same as how CIB does it. Will your deep dive be done before 00:31:42.862 --> 00:31:44.766 - they bulldoze Seminary Point? 00:31:46.690 --> 00:31:54.263 - What is the? Is there a timeline associated with that? Yes. Would you like to know what it is? I'm happy 00:31:54.263 --> 00:32:01.475 - to stick around after the meeting and talk to whoever would like to talk. OK, so the meeting is now 00:32:01.475 --> 00:32:08.759 - adjourned. If there are other comments that people would like to make to individuals, they may do so 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:13.086 - after the adjournment of the meeting. Meeting is adjourned.
