WEBVTT 00:00:00.386 --> 00:00:07.395 - Okay, okay. Well, that's good. Okay, well, we will get started. Welcome to the redevelopment Commission 00:00:07.395 --> 00:00:14.269 - meeting for the city of Bloomington for Monday, October 19, 2026. Let's start the meeting with a roll 00:00:14.269 --> 00:00:21.211 - call, please. Steve Scamalerni here. Randy Cassidy here. John West here. Laurie McRobbie here.

Christina Denley, hand 00:00:28.085 --> 00:00:28.894 - department. 00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:38.287 - Kay McCaskwell, Hand Department. Anna Gregovich, Economic and Sustainable Development. Thank you. So 00:00:38.287 --> 00:00:47.576 - we have reports. Do we have a director's report? No director's report. Happy to answer any questions. 00:00:47.576 --> 00:00:57.502 - A legal report? Nothing this evening. Okay. Our treasurer is not with us tonight. Maybe later. I don't know. 00:00:57.986 --> 00:01:06.903 - And I don't see our business development update provided. She's also out of town, so. OK. OK, just checking. 00:01:06.903 --> 00:01:14.920 - Yep. OK, well, we will move on to claims. We've got a claim register from November, or excuse me, 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:23.183 - October 9, 2026. Do we have any questions or comments from commissioners on this item? Move approval 00:01:23.183 --> 00:01:26.046 - of the claims for October 9, 2026. 00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:34.257 - In the first and the second, we'll do a vote where we'll call, please. C. Scambaleri, yes. Randy Gassley, 00:01:34.257 --> 00:01:41.163 - yes. John West, yes. Laurie McRabby, yes. Deborah Meyerson, yes. Passes unanimously. Before we go on 00:01:41.163 --> 00:01:48.411 - to the next item of our treasurer here, we've gone through staff reports and asking if there's any report 00:01:48.411 --> 00:01:51.966 - from the treasurer. Not to report. Okay, thank you. 00:01:52.962 --> 00:01:59.398 - The next AOD agenda is the RBC minutes from October 5th. Do we have any questions or comments 00:01:59.398 --> 00:02:06.382 - from commissioners on this item? If not, I'll take a motion. Move approval of the minutes for October 00:02:06.382 --> 00:02:13.639 - 5th, 2026. Second. We've got a first and a second. We'll do the vote by roll call, please. C. Scandalari, 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:20.623 - yes. Randy Gasti, yes. John West, yes. Laura McRobbie, yes. Deborah Meyerson, yes. Passes unanimously 00:02:20.623 --> 00:02:22.814 - for the minutes of October 5th. 00:02:24.450 --> 00:02:31.805 - Next on our agenda is for new business, we've got resolution 2680, which is the authorization for expenditure 00:02:31.805 --> 00:02:38.558 - of funds necessary to effectuate the purposes of resolution 2638. We're going to have the completion 00:02:38.558 --> 00:02:45.511 - of the secondary plat of both South and related matters. Who's going to speak to that? I would be happy 00:02:45.511 --> 00:02:52.264 - to address that. In completing the secondary plat, there are a number of things that, little details 00:02:52.264 --> 00:02:54.270 - that got to be taken care of. 00:02:54.626 --> 00:03:03.758 - One of them is the vacation of existing easements. And this, as one example, CenterPoint requires an 00:03:03.758 --> 00:03:12.981 - application fee to be paid in order to be able to, for them to go through the process of looking them 00:03:12.981 --> 00:03:15.422 - up, finding what they got, 00:03:15.682 --> 00:03:26.708 - reviewing them, and then filing for the easements to be vacated. So they charge a fee. The fee in their 00:03:26.708 --> 00:03:37.629 - particular case ranges from $600 to $900. There are no buckets of money set aside in any of the things 00:03:37.629 --> 00:03:44.414 - that have been set aside on this project for fees such as this. 00:03:44.514 --> 00:03:52.716 - So I created this resolution so that we would be able to have a small bucket that we could use when 00:03:52.716 --> 00:04:00.918 - these incidental things come up, so we could get them paid for to keep the process moving along. So 00:04:00.918 --> 00:04:09.613 - this would be for incidental expenses, again, such as this current one is an application fee for vacating 00:04:09.613 --> 00:04:14.206 - an easement, but it would be for these types of things. 00:04:14.530 --> 00:04:22.609 - incident of the expenses. Thank you. Any questions or comments from commissioners on resolution 2680 00:04:22.609 --> 00:04:30.687 - as presented? I have just a question. It's rather minor, but in the excuse me here, I think it's the 00:04:30.687 --> 00:04:39.486 - fifth, whereas I think there are a couple of words missing that should be in there. It's the way it reads it. 00:04:40.098 --> 00:04:47.883 - But by resolution 2584, any and all bids for Hopewell South blocks 9 and 10, as they did not appropriately 00:04:47.883 --> 00:04:55.596 - serve the goals, I think there needs to be a word rejected. But it would have to be whatever the language 00:04:55.596 --> 00:05:02.290 - is that was actually in the resolution that took that action should be inserted there. Yes. 00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:08.766 - I can do that. OK. It doesn't change the meaning of the resolution, but it doesn't read. 00:05:10.178 --> 00:05:19.815 - Correct. Thank you. Any other comments or questions from commissioners? Just as we as we look forward 00:05:19.815 --> 00:05:29.547 - to try to get this moving forward, is this one of those final things that needs to be done? And what's 00:05:29.547 --> 00:05:38.334 - our time frame to get our plat? It is currently in the process of being finalized right now. 00:05:38.754 --> 00:05:51.174 - It has been sent to CBU and planning preliminarily to try to get some early feedback along with the 00:05:51.174 --> 00:06:04.588 - construction plans. We're waiting on getting the covenants and restrictions ready and the HOA documentation 00:06:04.588 --> 00:06:08.190 - ready due to the capacity of 00:06:08.546 --> 00:06:16.945 - legal that Marjorie Rice has decided to, the Corporation Council has decided to get outside councils 00:06:16.945 --> 00:06:25.759 - assistance with those particular items. So we are working on that. So we'll be getting those incorporated 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.838 - in. Otherwise, it's just 00:06:28.194 --> 00:06:36.790 - working on little details. We've been talking about easement language with CBU and MOU with CBU regarding 00:06:36.790 --> 00:06:45.142 - the stormwater detention. So there's things like that that we're still working on. The hope is as soon 00:06:45.142 --> 00:06:53.819 - as within the next month, month and a half that we'll have everything in place to actually file a complete 00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:56.414 - package for the application for 00:06:56.610 --> 00:07:04.303 - for the secondary plat to be approved. And then that starts the plat, secondary plat would get approved 00:07:04.303 --> 00:07:11.700 - pretty quickly, but it would take probably a couple of months to get the construction plans through 00:07:11.700 --> 00:07:19.541 - approval processes because, you know, there's always going back and forth with CBU, you know, what valves 00:07:19.541 --> 00:07:26.494 - here and things there, and there's that level of detail. There's usually some back and forth. 00:07:26.626 --> 00:07:34.753 - But hopefully things will be ready to possibly get bids ready by the very end of the year, the first 00:07:34.753 --> 00:07:42.881 - of next year for the infrastructure. So our goal, just to be clear in regards to this, to try to get 00:07:42.881 --> 00:07:51.571 - something started from a housing standpoint would be first of next year when season comes in, approximately 00:07:51.571 --> 00:07:56.158 - March to April. OK. OK. Definitely. OK. Thank you. Yeah. 00:07:56.418 --> 00:08:05.624 - It really is getting close. And it's getting exciting when you see the depth of the plans of how they 00:08:05.624 --> 00:08:15.371 - are now. It's really, really coming together. So it's getting exciting. OK. Thank you. Any other questions? 00:08:15.371 --> 00:08:20.606 - If not, I'll take a motion. This is for resolution 26-80. 00:08:21.250 --> 00:08:27.430 - I'll make a resolution or a motion to approve resolution 26-80 as presented with the Scribner's error 00:08:27.430 --> 00:08:33.490 - corrected as was pointed out. Second. We've got a first and a second. We'll do a vote by roll call, 00:08:33.490 --> 00:08:39.731 - please. Sue Scambaleri, yes. Randy Cassidy, yes. John West, yes. Lori McFarley, yes. Deborah Meyerson, 00:08:39.731 --> 00:08:42.942 - yes. Resolution 26-80 passes unanimously. Thank you. 00:08:43.138 --> 00:08:49.337 - Next item on the agenda is the approval of a reimbursement for partial costs at the installation of 00:08:49.337 --> 00:08:55.537 - installation of fire suppression system at the visit Bloomington unit at the 4th Street garage. Who 00:08:55.537 --> 00:09:01.736 - would like to speak to that? It doesn't matter. I'm happy to give you an update. So we learned when 00:09:01.736 --> 00:09:06.014 - visit Bloomington was working on their build out plans that when the 00:09:06.210 --> 00:09:12.597 - previous project in this suite was undertaken that they only did a gray box of the suite and actually 00:09:12.597 --> 00:09:18.984 - did not install sprinklers, which likely should have already been installed. So part of the work that 00:09:18.984 --> 00:09:25.622 - needs to be done is that we need to install the sprinklers into the system. This is something that should 00:09:25.622 --> 00:09:32.510 - have been in place for Visit Bloomington. It is a partial cost though, because if we had had those sprinklers 00:09:32.510 --> 00:09:33.950 - in place in the suite, 00:09:34.018 --> 00:09:41.581 - They would have had to pay approximately $2,500 to relocate some of those based on their buildout, which 00:09:41.581 --> 00:09:48.928 - they're still willing to participate in, so it's a little bit less than the installation cost for us, 00:09:48.928 --> 00:09:56.419 - but it is something that absolutely needs to happen. Thank you. These funds, there are still bond funds 00:09:56.419 --> 00:10:03.838 - available that have not been expended yet, so these funds could come out of that, which again would be 00:10:04.194 --> 00:10:13.796 - construction funds. It was gray boxed, but it was felt by staff that a basic sprinkler system 00:10:13.796 --> 00:10:24.318 - is traditionally available when you rent out a space such as this. So we should at least, and they ask 00:10:24.318 --> 00:10:32.286 - us to contribute, and the $11,000 that they ask us to contribute is less than 00:10:32.962 --> 00:10:41.206 - if we would have just went in there, installed them, and then gave them the space. So there's a little 00:10:41.206 --> 00:10:49.450 - bit of savings there. And again, this would be coming out of the bond proceeds as opposed to RDC funds 00:10:49.450 --> 00:10:57.534 - otherwise. Thank you. Any questions or comments from commissioners? I was just going to comment that 00:10:59.106 --> 00:11:06.205 - just I guess for public information. What they call a gray box, I call a white box or vanilla box. The 00:11:06.205 --> 00:11:13.166 - sprinkler, the infrastructure for a sprinkler system in all the years that I've done this has always 00:11:13.166 --> 00:11:20.195 - been included in a white box or vanilla box. And usually the sprinkler heads get readjusted or moved, 00:11:20.195 --> 00:11:27.363 - but the infrastructure, the piping, the hookup, it's all there. And the fact that it was missed I think 00:11:27.363 --> 00:11:28.190 - is probably 00:11:29.218 --> 00:11:36.042 - Somebody didn't know the definition of vanilla boxing of space. So we should have paid for it then, 00:11:36.042 --> 00:11:43.071 - but we're paying for it now. But I don't consider it an extra cost. Thank you. Do you have a question? 00:11:43.071 --> 00:11:50.100 - Two quick questions in regards to what's left over in the bond fund. I know we've utilized that in one 00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:56.446 - other situation. Just want to make sure what kind of funds are available. $449,696, so $450. 00:11:56.930 --> 00:12:03.028 - Okay, $450,000 is still allocable. It's in an account. Correct. It's in the bond. Yes, it is. Fourth 00:12:03.028 --> 00:12:09.307 - Street Garage. So any ongoing situations that occur, there will be capital to take care of. Yeah, there 00:12:09.307 --> 00:12:15.345 - are capital that would have been performed or could have been performed as part of construction. At 00:12:15.345 --> 00:12:21.383 - the time frame. And then when we're looking at visit Bloomington, this won't delay their particular 00:12:21.383 --> 00:12:26.334 - occupancy time? No, this wouldn't delay because they would have had to alter this 00:12:26.434 --> 00:12:35.321 - the sprinklers anyway for theirs. So their contractor will just simply install them as part of work. 00:12:35.321 --> 00:12:44.471 - So it works out pretty well for them. That works out. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions or comments? 00:12:44.471 --> 00:12:53.534 - If not, I will request a motion for Resolution 2681, please. Move approval of Resolution 2681. Second. 00:12:54.178 --> 00:13:02.413 - Got a first and a second. We'll do a viral call, please. Steve Scambaleri, yes. Brandi Cassidy, yes. 00:13:02.413 --> 00:13:10.729 - John West, yes. Lori Necrofty, yes, sorry. Deborah Meyerson, yes. Resolution 2681 passes unanimously. 00:13:10.729 --> 00:13:17.822 - Thank you. Just check in our agenda. Anything for general discussion for this evening? 00:13:17.986 --> 00:13:30.083 - We were looking to see if we had anybody that would be willing to meet with us as we're evaluating architect 00:13:30.083 --> 00:13:41.404 - RFP respondents. Anna Dragovich, do you want to speak to that at all? Sure. You'll recall at our last 00:13:41.404 --> 00:13:46.398 - meeting, we opened the RFP for architectural 00:13:46.594 --> 00:13:54.294 - architectural services for the BPD project at 714 South Rogers. That's currently open. It will close 00:13:54.294 --> 00:14:02.300 - on November 6th. And we were thinking that a member of this committee could be a part of that evaluation 00:14:02.300 --> 00:14:10.382 - process, be on the evaluation committee. So I suppose we're looking for a volunteer to be on that, Randy. 00:14:10.382 --> 00:14:14.270 - Who wants to, anyone else wants to? No, thank you. 00:14:15.266 --> 00:14:22.998 - Appreciate your volunteering for that. Okay. So, thank you. Appreciate that connection. Anything else 00:14:22.998 --> 00:14:30.654 - for a general discussion? Not that I'm aware of, but if there's anything from you guys, I'd be like, 00:14:30.654 --> 00:14:38.462 - okay. Is this a record? Is this a record? This is a general discussion? I mean, is this a time record? 00:14:38.658 --> 00:14:49.595 - Oh, it is. It is not over yet. Turn German. So moved that was a record. OK, it is a record. Although 00:14:49.595 --> 00:15:00.531 - it's my 15 will have to kind of keep track of whether that's a record or not, but it's definitely up 00:15:00.531 --> 00:15:07.678 - there. So OK. Appreciate your time this evening. Thanks bye Lori.
