WEBVTT 00:00:00.162 --> 00:00:06.562 - Welcome to the Redevelopment Commission meeting for the City of Bloomington for August 17th, 2026. We'll 00:00:06.562 --> 00:00:12.230 - start the meeting with the roll call, please. Lori McRobie, present. Steve Scambalern, here. 00:00:12.230 --> 00:00:18.447 - Brandi Cassidy, present. John West, present. Deborah Meyerson, here. We will start the, and the staff 00:00:18.447 --> 00:00:24.969 - present, please. Anna Killian Hansen, present. Christian Levenlin, hand department. Emma Caswell, present. 00:00:24.969 --> 00:00:28.382 - Jane Coopersmith, economic and sustainable development. 00:00:29.058 --> 00:00:52.702 - Okay, first item on the agenda is the minutes from the executive session from August 3, 2026 and the 00:00:52.802 --> 00:01:01.310 - regular meeting minutes from August 3, 2026. I'll take a motion for both of those unless anybody requests 00:01:01.310 --> 00:01:09.898 - to separate them. Move approval of both sets of nets, executive committee and regular RDC meeting. Second. 00:01:09.898 --> 00:01:16.158 - John. We've got a first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? 00:01:16.354 --> 00:01:25.702 - passes unanimously. Next item in the agenda is the claims register for July 31, 2026. Any questions 00:01:25.702 --> 00:01:35.611 - or comments from commissioners on the claims register? I have a couple questions. Would you mind starting 00:01:35.611 --> 00:01:46.174 - with the page so I can follow? Page three of seven. Page three of seven, and I know it's CVDG, the 2403 account. 00:01:46.434 --> 00:01:54.552 - Line 3464, the New Hope Shelter. That's our grant that we gave for the solar. The only question I have, 00:01:54.552 --> 00:02:02.359 - were they able to incorporate any of the solar panels that the city has? Which project? This is for 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:09.696 - New Hope's solar project. I will have to ask our program manager and get back to you on that. 00:02:09.696 --> 00:02:14.302 - I doubt it. I don't think they did. They did receive seal. 00:02:14.466 --> 00:02:20.551 - funding, which is our solar energy efficiency and lighting grant program that supports nonprofits. But 00:02:20.551 --> 00:02:26.695 - I think they have new panels, but we can find them. OK, I'll just verify, because there were still some 00:02:26.695 --> 00:02:32.899 - additional panels that we had left a while back. A lot. Oh, so, yes. Yes, that's why I'm asking, because 00:02:32.899 --> 00:02:38.925 - if they could be utilized in something, it'd be great. Next one, and this is just specifically me and 00:02:38.925 --> 00:02:42.942 - a little bugaboos, we get to it at some point on Evergreen Village. 00:02:43.106 --> 00:02:50.915 - That's for lawn care maintenance of the lots that we own in there, which they've done a great job. I'd 00:02:50.915 --> 00:02:59.028 - just at some point like to see that moved forward to the homeowners. Thank you. We have attempted multiple 00:02:59.028 --> 00:03:07.216 - homeowners actually sold following our attempt. So we'll continue that attempt. OK, thank you. And actually 00:03:07.216 --> 00:03:13.054 - that mowing is specific to the retention pond. So it's just a drainage area. 00:03:13.602 --> 00:03:20.698 - Which, keeping it mode is very good, given the amount of rain, as you well know, we've all had near 00:03:20.698 --> 00:03:28.290 - reason. So thank you. Page five of five, or page 13 in the packet, depending on how you go at it. Marshall 00:03:28.290 --> 00:03:35.457 - security for security patrols at Hopewell. I'm not questioning the expense itself, but I'm wondering 00:03:35.457 --> 00:03:43.262 - if you could just give us a 60 second update on what we're experiencing with security challenges at Hopewell. 00:03:44.802 --> 00:03:53.318 - We are continuing to receive a number of security incidents at the Hopewell properties. Specifically, 00:03:53.318 --> 00:04:01.750 - the garage has been targeted. We did have an encampment in the garage, which we recently cleaned up. 00:04:01.750 --> 00:04:10.432 - But the patrols and reports range from the garage all the way over to the 714 site. They're doing their 00:04:10.432 --> 00:04:13.438 - job, though, and discouraging a lot 00:04:13.762 --> 00:04:22.319 - Folks for being there in the evening hours as well, but those are the two big areas of concern the existing 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:30.481 - buildings So hopefully as activity Increases we'll start to see less activity, but at this time we are 00:04:30.481 --> 00:04:39.038 - still receiving With as much security as we have there. How does anybody have time to set up an encampment? 00:04:40.354 --> 00:04:47.890 - That doesn't happen overnight. Our security patrols are 12 hours and they vary in timing. They're not 00:04:47.890 --> 00:04:55.353 - the same 12-hour shifts every day. That's intentional to try and catch whatever activities happening 00:04:55.353 --> 00:05:03.111 - at varied hours. It's surprising, but it did occur. It wasn't a large encampment, but there was an awful 00:05:03.111 --> 00:05:09.982 - lot of trash and debris. I think there was a full truckload that was pulled from the garage. 00:05:10.082 --> 00:05:17.712 - There's a specific part of the garage, too, where there's a lot of overgrowth and shrubbery that they 00:05:17.712 --> 00:05:25.417 - were hiding underneath and behind. So we've posted it. They've been removed. It's been cleaned up. And 00:05:25.417 --> 00:05:33.196 - actually, Marshall did the cleanup for a very insignificant amount of money. I think it was $800 total. 00:05:33.196 --> 00:05:37.086 - So it was money well spent. To your point on the... 00:05:37.218 --> 00:05:42.735 - It would be the east side of that parking garage that has substantial growth. Is that something from 00:05:42.735 --> 00:05:48.197 - as an ownership standpoint, we should look at clearing that back so that they can actually visually 00:05:48.197 --> 00:05:54.206 - see it from Roger Street. We've cleaned that up a couple different times. I'm talking removes the vegetation. 00:05:54.370 --> 00:06:00.024 - Yes. So that we get back to the structure so you can actually visually see that garage and if there's 00:06:00.024 --> 00:06:05.622 - any activity. We've cleaned it up a couple of different times. One of the other things right at that 00:06:05.622 --> 00:06:11.387 - spot is that there's a fence that is wrapped around and they keep pulling the fencing away. We've tried 00:06:11.387 --> 00:06:17.207 - to secure it numerous times. Part of the cleanup that was done, they drove an auger down into the ground 00:06:17.207 --> 00:06:22.861 - and used a nice big two by four to try and secure that fence even more so that they couldn't gain any 00:06:22.861 --> 00:06:23.582 - more access. 00:06:23.906 --> 00:06:34.243 - But yes. That's an issue. So one last question on the claims. Page 307 on the Fund 2234, unsafe building 00:06:34.243 --> 00:06:44.087 - on the appraisal for Shamrock Point. Is that based upon we've got an unsafe building? That was part 00:06:44.087 --> 00:06:46.942 - of the settlement agreement. 00:06:48.066 --> 00:06:55.372 - And I'm not sure how much more information I can go into other than that's part of a settlement agreement. 00:06:55.372 --> 00:07:02.337 - Yes, it is an unsafe building. And we required the appraisal and then listing at the appraised price. 00:07:02.337 --> 00:07:09.575 - OK. Thank you. Any other questions from commissioners? If not, I'll take a motion for the claims register 00:07:09.575 --> 00:07:15.038 - of July 31. We have approval for the claims register for July 31, 2026. Second. 00:07:15.490 --> 00:07:21.492 - We have a first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Next on the 00:07:21.492 --> 00:07:27.494 - agenda is the payroll register from August 7th, 2026. Any questions or comments from commissioners on 00:07:27.494 --> 00:07:33.202 - this item? Move for approval. Second. We've got a first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. 00:07:33.202 --> 00:07:38.910 - Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Next we'll have reports please. Do we have a director's report? 00:07:39.650 --> 00:07:47.711 - I would like to report that on Friday we hosted the Incremental Development Alliance developer, small 00:07:47.711 --> 00:07:55.614 - developer training at the mill. It was wonderful. We had some industry experts that came and it was 00:07:55.614 --> 00:08:03.834 - fascinating, wonderful. I gave a short presentation and there's a lot of excitement related to HopeWild 00:08:03.834 --> 00:08:07.390 - and we're glad to have that piece over with. 00:08:07.554 --> 00:08:15.704 - But the next step is we will be offering a boot camp, which is virtually offered starting, I believe, 00:08:15.704 --> 00:08:24.094 - in October. But let me circle back to you on the exact dates. It'll be once a week for a period of time. 00:08:25.794 --> 00:08:32.562 - And it is a prerequisite that you attended the small developer training that we hosted. That training 00:08:32.562 --> 00:08:39.395 - is also offered online if somebody needed to catch up and was not able to be present in person. I also 00:08:39.395 --> 00:08:45.898 - do just want to give a shout out to the mill. When we were there, it was such a great atmosphere. 00:08:45.898 --> 00:08:52.599 - I mean, they're doing really, really good things. It's the great combination between being practical 00:08:52.599 --> 00:08:55.518 - and productive. And every need that we had, 00:08:55.714 --> 00:09:03.776 - was there on Thursday of this week. The mill is opening back up that event space. So there is an event 00:09:03.776 --> 00:09:11.759 - you guys should have received an email about that. It looks great. So they've maximized the space and 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:20.369 - encourage you to go check it out. But they're doing really great things there. How many books were registered 00:09:20.369 --> 00:09:24.126 - for the? I think it ended up being 32. Awesome. 00:09:26.018 --> 00:09:32.341 - And we had more people trying to attend, but we reached capacity. OK. Great. And for folks that weren't 00:09:32.341 --> 00:09:38.421 - able to attend, since that's a requirement for them to attend the boot camp, is there any option to 00:09:38.421 --> 00:09:44.501 - do some alternate versions so they can attend the boot camp? Yes. So it's offered virtually through 00:09:44.501 --> 00:09:50.581 - Incremental Developments website. So they'll do a catch-up session, and they offer it periodically, 00:09:50.581 --> 00:09:55.870 - I think, once every few weeks. How does someone find Incremental Developments website? 00:09:56.578 --> 00:10:04.000 - I'd be happy to post it to our website, but it is just incrementaldevelopmentalliance.org. Great, 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:11.650 - thank you. Okay, well thank you. Do we have a legal report? Yes, I'd just like to give you an update 00:10:11.650 --> 00:10:18.845 - on the Hopewell Residential Tiff and also where we're amending the consolidated Tiff to remove 00:10:18.845 --> 00:10:25.662 - the residential properties. August 10th, where's the Planning Commission regular meeting. 00:10:25.762 --> 00:10:35.987 - And it both did receive approvals there. Next, it moves on to Common Council, which right now is scheduled 00:10:35.987 --> 00:10:45.544 - for September 2nd. And it would go there for approval. Upon approval, it would come back to the RDC 00:10:45.544 --> 00:10:54.622 - for a public hearing on September 21st and a confirmatory resolution. Again, this would be for 00:10:54.882 --> 00:11:02.532 - the Hopewell residential TIF, the creation of that, and also we're removing the residential properties 00:11:02.532 --> 00:11:10.034 - from the consolidated TIF. We are following, just so everybody knows, whenever you create a TIF like 00:11:10.034 --> 00:11:17.759 - Hopewell, if you are modifying by removing these properties, you have to follow the exact same process. 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.918 - So that's why we're doing them at this exact same time, 00:11:22.178 --> 00:11:30.405 - They follow this exact same process. So just when everybody knows we are following the exact legal process 00:11:30.405 --> 00:11:38.479 - that you need to do to remove these properties from the consolidated TIFs. So things are moving forward, 00:11:38.479 --> 00:11:46.245 - and we'll keep you up to date. Thank you. Do we have a Treasurer's Report? I don't see Jeff here. He 00:11:46.245 --> 00:11:50.782 - is not here this evening. There was no Treasurer's Report. 00:11:50.946 --> 00:11:59.238 - Budget hearings are starting at council this evening, so he needs to be there. I have the pleasure of 00:11:59.238 --> 00:12:07.530 - going last this evening as well. Well, we'll try and make sure we end in time for you to not have any 00:12:07.530 --> 00:12:15.741 - conflicts. You had to go pretty late. That's true. I sounded so optimistic at that end of the table. 00:12:15.741 --> 00:12:19.806 - Well, we are next up for a business adult update. 00:12:20.514 --> 00:12:26.571 - No update. Other than I would like to formally introduce Paige Sharp, who's our new Assistant Director 00:12:26.571 --> 00:12:32.628 - for the Arts. We're really excited to have her on our team. And she comes to us from the state and has 00:12:32.628 --> 00:12:38.861 - been just doing an awesome job. Welcome, Paige. You did a phenomenal job. Welcome, Paige. Welcome, Paige. 00:12:38.861 --> 00:12:41.566 - Thank you. Glad to have you. Good to be here. 00:12:42.626 --> 00:12:48.724 - Okay, we are on to new business. The first item on our agenda is Resolution 2655, which is an amendment 00:12:48.724 --> 00:12:54.997 - of Resolution 2589 regarding a partnership agreement with BCT Management and Authorization for Recipients. 00:12:54.997 --> 00:13:00.978 - Would you like to speak to that? I'll take this one and then I'll pass to our guests this evening. So 00:13:00.978 --> 00:13:06.900 - I did just introduce Paige and then I'll also introduce Steve Versa, who's the Executive Director of 00:13:06.900 --> 00:13:07.838 - BCT Management. 00:13:08.034 --> 00:13:16.746 - which is the company that manages the BCT, the nonprofit that manages the BCT. The BCT is a parks asset 00:13:16.746 --> 00:13:25.291 - and is supported by multiple departments at the city. So I included a memo in the packet just to kind 00:13:25.291 --> 00:13:33.835 - of give some of the history. But in a nutshell, the RDC approved an agreement in 2025 to fund $74,000 00:13:33.835 --> 00:13:35.678 - annually for upgrades 00:13:36.546 --> 00:13:43.954 - and really supporting new assets at the BCT. The park supports repair and maintenance. And so these 00:13:43.954 --> 00:13:51.585 - funds are really to go toward assets, I think is how I understand that. And so the resolution requires 00:13:51.585 --> 00:13:59.586 - that ESD staff approve those requests and bring them to the RDC. So we do approve what they are requesting. 00:13:59.586 --> 00:14:05.438 - There's detailed information in the packet about the equipment that they would 00:14:05.570 --> 00:14:12.662 - like to request, and then this updated resolution also does acknowledge that the previous resolution 00:14:12.662 --> 00:14:19.824 - said the funding had to be requested in that year. I'm not sure why that didn't happen last year. The 00:14:19.824 --> 00:14:27.127 - resolution was approved, but then staff didn't return with a funding request. So we would like to amend 00:14:27.127 --> 00:14:34.078 - the resolution to allow the BCT to access that $74,000 from 2025. The only other thing I might say 00:14:34.594 --> 00:14:41.830 - before bringing Steve up to the table is just that the BCT has done a really incredible job managing 00:14:41.830 --> 00:14:49.066 - this facility. They're extremely careful with all the materials, the carpeting, all of the assets of 00:14:49.066 --> 00:14:56.373 - the building, the curtains, and they have managed it in such a way that most of the building's assets 00:14:56.373 --> 00:15:04.254 - have gone well beyond what their functional life should have been. And so the request today, you can come up, 00:15:04.706 --> 00:15:12.342 - The request today is really to replace some of those key critical equipment needs, and they remain with 00:15:12.342 --> 00:15:20.124 - the building. So if the operation were to fold, it's not like BCT management would take the audio console 00:15:20.124 --> 00:15:27.687 - with them and sell it. So the main requests are audio console, lighting console, and lighting updates. 00:15:27.687 --> 00:15:32.606 - This is part of a five-year plan to kind of get the infrastructure 00:15:32.706 --> 00:15:41.283 - of the theater and the theatrical needs as well as safety issues taken care of. But the most firmly 00:15:41.283 --> 00:15:50.032 - needed things in this first year or two is actual theatrical equipment. Three reasons. The soundboard 00:15:50.032 --> 00:15:58.866 - that the city purchased in 2012 has already gone away. The BCT management before my time found a donor 00:15:58.866 --> 00:16:01.182 - to give another used model 00:16:01.410 --> 00:16:08.507 - And we've been pushing that for now seven years almost, you know? So it's at the end of life. Lighting 00:16:08.507 --> 00:16:15.604 - console just went down. We knew it would. Now, BCT has found another creative way, as all of us in the 00:16:15.604 --> 00:16:22.494 - theater world and the venue world, we found a creative way to find a lighting console to use in the 00:16:22.494 --> 00:16:29.729 - interim. But we're at this breaking point. And it's much past its use. And finally, probably the biggest 00:16:29.729 --> 00:16:31.038 - is within the last 00:16:31.170 --> 00:16:39.583 - We've all known that incandescent bulbs for theatrical lighting, they're gone. So smartly, we have stocked 00:16:39.583 --> 00:16:47.524 - up. We only have incandescent bulbs for theatrical lighting. We only have those units. And it's time 00:16:47.524 --> 00:16:50.590 - to transfer to LED for sustainability. 00:16:50.786 --> 00:16:57.442 - but also to actually be able to turn some lights on on the stage, because we're getting down to the 00:16:57.442 --> 00:17:04.098 - end of that. So these are just normal, everyday items that a theater would need to run, whether BCT 00:17:04.098 --> 00:17:11.153 - management is doing it, whether anybody else walks into that building, but for it to be a useful building 00:17:11.153 --> 00:17:17.876 - for its purposes and to give the public some place, the community some place, to come for 150 to 180 00:17:17.876 --> 00:17:19.806 - events a year that we put on 00:17:20.258 --> 00:17:28.457 - These are much needed dynoms. So just to say it outright, the request today is for two years then of 00:17:28.457 --> 00:17:36.899 - that $74,000 amount. So it's for a total of $148,000. This is probably in the detail. Do you anticipate 00:17:36.899 --> 00:17:45.098 - that $148,000 is enough to take care of the needs that you just outlined? Yes. So with Bolivar, it's 00:17:45.098 --> 00:17:48.670 - right there at the cusp, and we'll minimize 00:17:49.378 --> 00:17:58.170 - a little bit for this to get down to the 148 from about a 10K difference. OK. And you went through a 00:17:58.170 --> 00:18:07.223 - bidding process and included those numbers in the packet as well. Yeah. You anticipate coming back next 00:18:07.223 --> 00:18:15.927 - year, though, as well? This would be 25 and 26, with the hopes that 27 we could pull our final year 00:18:15.927 --> 00:18:18.974 - in the contract, with updated new. 00:18:19.170 --> 00:18:25.131 - I have a new idea for the standing. OK. OK. Well, thank you for that presentation. I'll open up for 00:18:25.131 --> 00:18:31.152 - questions from commissioners. Excellent idea. It's time. I mean, you guys have been operating it for 00:18:31.152 --> 00:18:37.114 - 20 plus years and doing a phenomenal job with that. With this, you didn't spend the money last year 00:18:37.114 --> 00:18:43.135 - is essentially what we're coming down to. We just didn't spend it. As opposed to doing it partially, 00:18:43.135 --> 00:18:48.798 - you now have the ability, by combining these two, to get a complete project that will bring it 00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:55.667 - into the area you need. And you should be able to save some money on electricity. Absolutely. Which 00:18:55.667 --> 00:19:02.673 - should make it helpful in your overall operating cost. So I appreciate everything you're doing, keeping 00:19:02.673 --> 00:19:09.544 - the theater going. The first theater I saw was Mickey Mouse at five. So having it has a little bit of 00:19:09.544 --> 00:19:15.742 - a special intent to it. So I appreciate it. Thank you. Can I just share one other BCT item? 00:19:16.098 --> 00:19:22.920 - We have a great kind of cross-functional project where ESD is working with parks and the theater. We 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:29.675 - received a grant for $508,000 through the Indiana Department of Energy. And so BCT is getting a new 00:19:29.675 --> 00:19:36.902 - HVAC upgrade and battery energy storage system out of it, which will allow the theater to become a climate 00:19:36.902 --> 00:19:44.062 - resilience hub. So in periods of extreme heat, they'll have a really great cooling system and the ability 00:19:44.062 --> 00:19:45.278 - to run it even in 00:19:45.538 --> 00:19:52.731 - if there's a power outage. So they'll be able to welcome community members in a safe space. So we're 00:19:52.731 --> 00:19:59.212 - really excited. And I think we'll get that installed in January. February, yeah. February. 00:19:59.212 --> 00:20:06.405 - So we're all? Fingers crossed. Yeah, doing the same. So there's a lot going on. It's time. I've been 00:20:06.405 --> 00:20:13.598 - here for three years, and I won't go on too long. But the stewardship before my time was immaculate. 00:20:13.858 --> 00:20:20.417 - I haven't seen a theater like this around the world. This old, this clean kept up with so much grace 00:20:20.417 --> 00:20:26.912 - and determination. So I'm really looking forward to moving us into the next era and continuing that 00:20:26.912 --> 00:20:33.666 - for the community. Thank you. Appreciate it. Anything else from commissioners? If not, I will entertain 00:20:33.666 --> 00:20:40.030 - a motion for Resolution 2655. I'll make a motion to approve Resolution 2655 as presented. Second. 00:20:40.418 --> 00:20:47.632 - We've got a first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Sorry. I'm late to the game. 00:20:47.632 --> 00:20:55.131 - Your aye. I'm not posing. I'm aye. I'm aye for it. OK. So no opposed. A motion passes unanimously. Thank 00:20:55.131 --> 00:20:59.774 - you so much for all you do. Thank you all. Really appreciate it. 00:21:01.986 --> 00:21:08.449 - The next item on our agenda tonight is resolution 2656, which is the approval of the first amendment 00:21:08.449 --> 00:21:14.976 - to the agreement which HGCG Enterprises DBA Office Pride commercial cleaning services for services at 00:21:14.976 --> 00:21:21.631 - the trades district garage. Is that also? I didn't take this on as well. So Office Pride is the service 00:21:21.631 --> 00:21:28.030 - provider for, again, professional cleaning services at the trades district garage. We have a tenant 00:21:28.030 --> 00:21:31.422 - in that commercial space and as part of their lease, 00:21:31.970 --> 00:21:39.219 - the city provides commercial cleanings, janitorial services, and the tenant reimburses, sorry, they 00:21:39.219 --> 00:21:46.830 - pay an estimated monthly amount to cover those expenses, and then they settle up at the end of the year. 00:21:46.830 --> 00:21:54.296 - So the RDC gets fully reimbursed for these costs, but we need to have the expenditure approved so that 00:21:54.296 --> 00:21:58.718 - we can pay the service provider on a monthly basis. We were, 00:21:59.298 --> 00:22:06.480 - Well, I think we, I'm saying we, Dana, because we were both on the email, but we were excited to see 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:13.662 - that Office Pride was willing to extend their 2024 service rate for three additional years from now. 00:22:13.662 --> 00:22:20.987 - So we feel like that's a really good deal. So we went ahead and tried to extend or have the time frame 00:22:20.987 --> 00:22:28.240 - extended for the full three years. I think that's it. They've been really happy with the service. OK, 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.022 - thank you. 00:22:29.314 --> 00:22:37.621 - That said, I'll open it up to questions from commissioners. Does the contract have a cancellation clause 00:22:37.621 --> 00:22:45.929 - if for some reason the tenant doesn't stay and we don't need the service as presented? I'm just looking. 00:22:45.929 --> 00:22:54.078 - I assume so, but I... Yeah, I would assume so also. It's probably a mutual cancellation clause, but... 00:23:06.338 --> 00:23:17.845 - Traditionally, the city may terminate or suspend performance of this agreement at the city's prerogative 00:23:17.845 --> 00:23:29.352 - at any time upon written notice to contract it. Another question. Can you explain in the resolved number 00:23:29.352 --> 00:23:34.174 - two, just to clarify, what do you mean when 00:23:34.850 --> 00:23:44.834 - the amount won't exceed $50,000. There are times that additional work is requested. And attached to 00:23:44.834 --> 00:23:55.318 - the original contract is hourly rates. So sometimes there will be additional work that will be requested 00:23:55.318 --> 00:24:03.006 - of them. So at no time can the contract go over that total amount without it 00:24:03.874 --> 00:24:11.771 - Because if you add up all the months for the years, it would not be up to $50,000. But you could go 00:24:11.771 --> 00:24:19.905 - up to $50,000. That allows them just a little bit of extra should they need to ask for some additional 00:24:19.905 --> 00:24:28.118 - services. So the minimum contract is $16,000. And you're paying that monthly for whatever their general 00:24:28.118 --> 00:24:31.198 - cleaning is. And then there's $34,000. 00:24:32.770 --> 00:24:42.110 - No, $16,000 was the original contract for the first year. And so there's three more years that is going 00:24:42.110 --> 00:24:51.451 - in place. There's 48. So you've got just $2,000? Yeah, it's like one month of service in case something 00:24:51.451 --> 00:25:01.150 - happens. It's a minimal amount, but just in case something comes up that they need a little extra cleaning. 00:25:03.874 --> 00:25:11.734 - I didn't think it was written clearly, but as long as you get it, I guess. OK. Any other questions? 00:25:11.734 --> 00:25:19.672 - Yes? Quick question. This is nothing more than a pass-through, reimbursable expense that we're going 00:25:19.672 --> 00:25:27.846 - to recapture in our 2519 fund on a yearly basis. I don't know what fund it goes back into. It goes back 00:25:27.846 --> 00:25:33.662 - into 2519. I'm just verifying where it's coming out, where it's going to. 00:25:33.762 --> 00:25:39.740 - And then this is specifically for the office portion of our trades district that is there. We'll just 00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:45.894 - take one building. Well, I know. But I'm asking about the parking garage portion of it. Who cleans that? 00:25:45.894 --> 00:25:52.106 - That's the parking garage. That's why I want to verify. When we hit trades district garage, I just wanted 00:25:52.106 --> 00:25:58.142 - to have a clarification. Trades district garage commercial space. Thank you. OK. Just making sure. OK. 00:25:58.142 --> 00:26:03.710 - Thank you. There's no other questions or comments. I will ask for a motion of resolution 2656. 00:26:04.066 --> 00:26:10.615 - I'll move approval or resolution 2656. Second. Another first and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. 00:26:10.615 --> 00:26:17.099 - Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Thank you. Next item in the agenda is resolution 2657, which is the 00:26:17.099 --> 00:26:23.584 - approval of Payment to Cone, Incorporated for their invoice. Would you like to speak to that? I just 00:26:23.584 --> 00:26:30.261 - noticed the last couple resolutions was no public comment requests. Oh, I beg your pardon. Yeah, that's 00:26:30.261 --> 00:26:33.022 - a courtesy that we usually mean to extend. 00:26:34.530 --> 00:26:43.664 - I will, yeah, apologize for that. Let's go ahead with this resolution, and then I will open for public 00:26:43.664 --> 00:26:52.621 - comment for any of the above. Resolutions. Yeah. There you go. Exactly. Thank you. OK, so we are now 00:26:52.621 --> 00:27:02.110 - opening up to hear about resolution 2657. Who wants to speak to that? I'd be happy to talk about this one. 00:27:02.210 --> 00:27:16.532 - There was work that was needed on the Showers West elevator. And so it was arranged to be taken care 00:27:16.532 --> 00:27:31.422 - of by our facilities director, Jay Duport. And so he arranged for it. This was started back in December. 00:27:31.650 --> 00:27:40.785 - controls that needed to be purchased and they were installed. Everything was completed towards the end 00:27:40.785 --> 00:27:50.185 - of March. Then there was an invoice that was sent for the work to be done. It was in excess of the amount 00:27:50.185 --> 00:27:59.674 - that could be paid for directly. So it needed to come to the RDC for approval. It is showing up in August, 00:27:59.674 --> 00:28:01.182 - which is as late 00:28:01.314 --> 00:28:11.926 - Um, the, um, it was, uh, lost in email and, uh, resurfaced. And so that's the reason for the delay, 00:28:11.926 --> 00:28:22.750 - but this is one of the, uh, things that Showers West again, it has issues and, and, uh, the passenger 00:28:22.750 --> 00:28:31.134 - elevator was needed to be repaired. And, and this is the invoice that was, uh, 00:28:31.586 --> 00:28:43.442 - And it was for $14,236.08 to repair the elevator. The invoice, you'll notice, was for a little more 00:28:43.442 --> 00:28:56.010 - than that because they were including tax. And the city and the RDC does not pay taxes. So the contractor 00:28:56.010 --> 00:29:00.990 - will need to deal with that on their own. 00:29:01.090 --> 00:29:08.522 - we did reduce the amount of tax because the RDC will not be paying that. Thanks for that clarification. 00:29:08.522 --> 00:29:16.239 - Let me also chime in and say that the repair, so that elevator's board, internal control board, is obsolete 00:29:16.239 --> 00:29:23.600 - at this point. So they had a lot of trouble trying to repair the elevator. It went on for quite a long 00:29:23.600 --> 00:29:30.174 - time before they were able to fix it. They had to pull out the board and make some repairs. 00:29:30.946 --> 00:29:38.134 - The next time this happens, we don't know exactly what's going to happen with the elevator because they 00:29:38.134 --> 00:29:45.183 - can't find a replacement part for that specific board. So just FYI, if you hear rumblings from any of 00:29:45.183 --> 00:29:52.301 - the tenants, it was down for a prolonged period of time while they were trying to make repairs because 00:29:52.301 --> 00:30:00.318 - they could not find parts for it. OK, thank you. OK, we're now opening this for public comment for resolution 2657. 00:30:02.402 --> 00:30:12.256 - Sorry, I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. Question, do we have maintenance contracts on this particular 00:30:12.256 --> 00:30:22.202 - elevator or any other than we have? There is a maintenance contract that Public Works has for all facilities 00:30:22.202 --> 00:30:31.326 - and in specialty things like this elevators, the RDC does not have a separate maintenance contract. 00:30:31.490 --> 00:30:40.623 - for that. So we go through the public works and then so it gets invoiced to public works and then it 00:30:40.623 --> 00:30:50.750 - gets sent over to the RDC to just get separated out. But it was under a formal contract that the work was done. 00:30:51.170 --> 00:30:57.782 - But the question I want to do we have a maintenance contract in this to and his point regards to obsolescence 00:30:57.782 --> 00:31:04.335 - in regards to this from an elevator standpoint where we would be with a DA in regards to our fire department 00:31:04.335 --> 00:31:10.346 - other individuals that we have in there at the present moment in order to be proactive and find out 00:31:10.346 --> 00:31:12.510 - what it will take at a future time. 00:31:13.794 --> 00:31:19.848 - Are you indicating you would like to pursue a replacement? I would like to at least see what the cost 00:31:19.848 --> 00:31:26.139 - to upgrade is. And on a basis of just finishing up on something that I'm involved in, a similar situation 00:31:26.139 --> 00:31:32.490 - came up and it was a $68,000 for a three-stop elevator. So if we think there's going to be future problems 00:31:32.490 --> 00:31:38.425 - due to obsolescence, it would be more prudent to identify what the cost is now as opposed to having 00:31:38.425 --> 00:31:42.046 - to be reactive and having it down with accessibility issues. 00:31:42.914 --> 00:31:51.349 - I would be happy to work with our facilities director to try and identify what that would look like. 00:31:51.349 --> 00:32:00.201 - OK. Thank you. Appreciate it. Any other questions from commissioners? If not, I will open this for public 00:32:00.201 --> 00:32:08.970 - comment, either online or in person. Seeing none, I will ask for a motion for resolution 2657. So moved. 00:32:08.970 --> 00:32:12.478 - Move approval of resolution 2657. Second. 00:32:13.026 --> 00:32:19.150 - We've got a first and a second. All in favor say aye, please. Aye. Any opposed? Passes unanimously. 00:32:19.150 --> 00:32:25.518 - Before we go on to our next resolution, I will make up for my oversight for the earlier two, which have 00:32:25.518 --> 00:32:32.254 - been adopted. But nonetheless, public comment is more than welcome. On either 2655, which was the partnership 00:32:32.254 --> 00:32:37.214 - agreement with BCT management and the authorization for lease of funds, or 2656. 00:32:37.602 --> 00:32:44.503 - which was for the office pride commercial cleaning services. So I'm just gonna invite anybody either 00:32:44.503 --> 00:32:51.472 - online or in person who would like to offer public comment, either of those is more than welcome. And 00:32:51.472 --> 00:32:58.373 - I do not see any takers on that. So again, apologies for my oversight, but I appreciate the patience 00:32:58.373 --> 00:33:00.286 - with compensating for that. 00:33:00.418 --> 00:33:08.626 - So our last resolution on new business is resolution 2658, which is the ratification of settlement and 00:33:08.626 --> 00:33:16.674 - litigation and lease termination agreements regarding Showers West. Would you like to speak to that? 00:33:16.674 --> 00:33:25.758 - Yes, I'll be speaking with that. There was a resolution by the RDC that would allow for 2642 that would allow for 00:33:25.922 --> 00:33:37.364 - Deborah Meyerson as RDC president or her designee, and Marjorie Rice or her designee to settle litigation 00:33:37.364 --> 00:33:48.914 - that was going on regarding two different tenants with Showers West. And so both those cases were settled. 00:33:48.914 --> 00:33:55.390 - The terms of the agreements are attached to the resolution. 00:33:55.778 --> 00:34:05.460 - Well, this is not necessary to be passed, this ratification, because it was under due authorization 00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:15.336 - for keeping things transparent and making sure that we have a complete record. We wanted to make sure 00:34:15.336 --> 00:34:25.502 - that it did come back before the full RDC so that you were all informed of the terms of the settlements. 00:34:25.602 --> 00:34:35.732 - couldn't be happy to answer any questions regarding them. But this did settle all claims between the 00:34:35.732 --> 00:34:45.962 - parties. And there were appeals filed with the city. The RDC filed appeals in both cases. The summary 00:34:45.962 --> 00:34:53.886 - judgments from the trial courts and both of those appeals have been dismissed. 00:34:54.306 --> 00:35:06.668 - And the stipulated releases were also filed in the trial court cases. So this buttons up all of the 00:35:06.668 --> 00:35:19.154 - litigation regarding Showers West. So this is a ratification, again, just to make sure that the full 00:35:19.154 --> 00:35:24.222 - RDC is totally informed of what occurred 00:35:24.322 --> 00:35:33.268 - And there is a record of that. Thank you. I'll put it up for questions or comments from commissioners. 00:35:33.268 --> 00:35:41.954 - I just want to quick thank Commissioner Cassidy for joining me to be part of the mediation process. 00:35:41.954 --> 00:35:48.382 - Dana, just to clarify everything, once this is passed, sorry, it's just a 00:35:49.602 --> 00:35:55.323 - ratification on it. If the case has been dismissed, or will they be dismissed? They've already been 00:35:55.323 --> 00:36:01.558 - dismissed. They've already been dismissed. We've already signed them. We've signed. It's just a ratification 00:36:01.558 --> 00:36:07.279 - accordingly. And at this point, the RDC, the city of Bloomington, no longer has an issue. We can do 00:36:07.279 --> 00:36:13.229 - what's necessary with the building. And we have no possibility of being in violation of our bond issue. 00:36:13.229 --> 00:36:18.206 - That is correct. The Bloomington Board of Realtors are going to remain in their space. 00:36:18.338 --> 00:36:27.874 - through June of next year, but they are not paying rent. So the RDC is not receiving any revenue. And 00:36:27.874 --> 00:36:37.224 - so that would have been the issue of receiving revenue. So they will be staying as they continue to 00:36:37.224 --> 00:36:47.134 - search for an appropriate location. And again, everything has been satisfied. Everything is over already. 00:36:47.362 --> 00:36:55.718 - This is just informed of purposes. And I always like to button things up with the ratification so that 00:36:55.718 --> 00:37:03.992 - you all can sign off that you know about it. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Any other questions 00:37:03.992 --> 00:37:12.348 - or comments from commissioners? If not, I will open it for public comment. Seeing none, I will ask for 00:37:12.348 --> 00:37:14.782 - a motion for resolution 2658. 00:37:15.234 --> 00:37:21.985 - I'll make a motion to approve resolution 2658, ratification of settlement. Second. We've got a first 00:37:21.985 --> 00:37:28.737 - and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Thank you. And that brings 00:37:28.737 --> 00:37:34.686 - us to the conclusion of our meeting. We'll take a motion to adjourn. To move. Thank you.
