WEBVTT

00:00:00.386 --> 00:00:07.910
- Good evening, it's 6.01. I'd like to call this meeting to order. My name is Liz Fiddle. I'm the county

00:00:07.910 --> 00:00:15.506
- representative for the Collaborative Justice Project Working Subcommittee. And with me here on the dais

00:00:15.506 --> 00:00:23.103
- is council member, city council member, Sydney Zulek, representing the city council. And Karen Renbeck,

00:00:23.103 --> 00:00:30.334
- representing the public defender's office. And April Wilson, representing the prosecutor's office.

00:00:30.978 --> 00:00:40.469
- and then we have staff here as well with the county. So I think we'd like to adopt the agenda. I believe

00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:49.959
- Ms. Turner-King might have had something to talk about with the agenda. Am I thinking that's right here?

00:00:49.959 --> 00:00:59.902
- Did you have something to talk to about the agenda? You were talking about adopting the agenda at some point.

00:01:16.130 --> 00:01:23.092
- We need to formally amend the agenda. I think Mr. Allen does have an update that he will provide whenever

00:01:23.092 --> 00:01:29.856
- you feel appropriate. Sure. Okay. All right. Great. So can we adopt the agenda as presented here? I'll

00:01:29.856 --> 00:01:36.423
- take a motion. Can I actually move to amend the agenda? Oh, I guess we can talk about it. I there's

00:01:36.423 --> 00:01:43.582
- one metric I wanted to add. And so I just would like to move on the metrics sheet. Is it a question or what?

00:01:44.418 --> 00:01:50.973
- Yes, so I think there's one key one that we left off and it's whether or not it can maintain constitutional

00:01:50.973 --> 00:01:57.588
- standards of care. I just want to make sure that we. Yeah, we'll be we'll be working on the site evaluation.

00:01:57.588 --> 00:02:03.779
- So maybe can we talk about it there and add it there as long as yes, I think adding is I just want to

00:02:03.779 --> 00:02:10.091
- make sure I keep track of the question because all of our metrics don't actually get to that issue that

00:02:10.091 --> 00:02:13.854
- they don't. And so we might pick a site based on the metrics.

00:02:14.242 --> 00:02:23.130
- but ultimately if it can't pass muster of being able to maintain constitutional standards of care. Right.

00:02:23.130 --> 00:02:31.516
- I hear you. So you put it down under the site of an evaluation. Thank you. To add an item. Okay. So

00:02:31.516 --> 00:02:40.069
- can we adopt the agenda as presented for now? I move that we adopt the agenda as presented. I second.

00:02:40.069 --> 00:02:41.662
- All in favor? Aye.

00:02:42.338 --> 00:02:48.969
- Well, I guess we all voted yes, so it doesn't matter. All right. So next on our agenda is the square

00:02:48.969 --> 00:02:55.798
- footage, and I believe that maybe Jeff Cockrell, Attorney Cockrell, might have had something to present

00:02:55.798 --> 00:03:02.626
- there, as I understand. I'm not sure I had something to present, but I did send an email to Kim Schell.

00:03:02.626 --> 00:03:08.798
- You did? Sorry. Yesterday, that I hope got to you, had the minimum square footage, as well as

00:03:11.138 --> 00:03:18.883
- An estimated cost for both the sheriff's side and the other side. I assume that that got sent out. I

00:03:18.883 --> 00:03:26.627
- think I sent it to you yesterday after we talked. Kind of do that. You just sent it to Kim? Yes. And

00:03:26.627 --> 00:03:34.295
- if I need to, I can go print it off and I can recite it. It's not a problem. Is it very long? Would

00:03:34.295 --> 00:03:38.206
- it be okay to go get it? I'll be back in a second.

00:03:39.074 --> 00:03:49.724
- Let me double check. I know that I sent several things off, so I don't want you to... I know that I

00:03:49.724 --> 00:04:01.120
- forwarded... Sorry. I hope I sent it. Got me second guessing it. Well, I don't recall it, but that doesn't

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.718
- mean anything.

00:04:04.386 --> 00:04:12.296
- chair wishes I can talk about some public comments that were received at this point while we look for

00:04:12.296 --> 00:04:20.438
- the square footage. That would be great. Thank you. You some economics here. We did receive a few public

00:04:20.438 --> 00:04:28.192
- comments through the form variety of comments. Some of them suggesting new properties generally. So

00:04:28.192 --> 00:04:31.294
- one just kind of talked about a concern

00:04:31.618 --> 00:04:37.648
- If you'd like to know each one, my plan is to also share this with you from a read only so you all can

00:04:37.648 --> 00:04:43.913
- see this. But we received one comment that was basically that this is taking too long. They do not believe

00:04:43.913 --> 00:04:49.826
- that the North Park site was a good fit. The cost of the land is outrageous, and people are tired of

00:04:49.826 --> 00:04:55.739
- higher taxes. And so they wanted to just encourage you to keep going on your mission and exclude the

00:04:55.739 --> 00:04:56.734
- North Park site.

00:04:57.154 --> 00:05:04.542
- We also received extensive comment from Commissioner Jodi Madeira as well talking about the requirements

00:05:04.542 --> 00:05:11.718
- for the lawsuit in regard to the site, which I think I don't know if Commissioner Madeira wants me to

00:05:11.718 --> 00:05:18.965
- necessarily summarize that particular part here. I think that that's been pretty well covered as well.

00:05:18.965 --> 00:05:25.438
- She also had some significant suggestions for metrics to make sure that those are included.

00:05:25.570 --> 00:05:32.204
- as well, which I'm happy to share with the group. Is that different than what we have on our metric

00:05:32.204 --> 00:05:39.037
- form now? Did you know? It critiques various lists of the portions of it. If you'd like me to read it,

00:05:39.037 --> 00:05:45.936
- I'm happy to read it. It would take quite a while to read the full thing. I would be interested to know

00:05:45.936 --> 00:05:51.774
- what's different about what we already have, if there's a way to figure that out. Yeah.

00:05:52.194 --> 00:05:58.579
- The first recommendation is to create a pass fail gate before scoring. A site should not proceed to

00:05:58.579 --> 00:06:05.219
- preference scoring if it's legally impossible or lacks the minimum usable acreage, cannot be controlled

00:06:05.219 --> 00:06:11.732
- in time, or has any fatal environmental floodway problems, or cannot possibly support construction on

00:06:11.732 --> 00:06:18.372
- the litigation timeline. The second recommendation is to weight each of the criteria, so they're scored

00:06:18.372 --> 00:06:21.118
- with different weights, such as, you know,

00:06:21.250 --> 00:06:27.704
- Purchase price and distance to walking paths, et cetera, are parallel weighted. Those are not equal

00:06:27.704 --> 00:06:34.545
- considerations in accordance to Commissioner Madeira. And she is here, so I don't want to mischaracterize

00:06:34.545 --> 00:06:40.999
- anything at all if she wants to at some point approach. But you're reading from what was submitted,

00:06:40.999 --> 00:06:43.710
- right? I'm reading from what's submitted.

00:06:44.066 --> 00:06:51.567
- Require evidence for each answer each site should have an evidence column GIS source owner communication

00:06:51.567 --> 00:06:58.854
- appraisal zoning memo engineer architect opinion utility provider letter environmental report Transit

00:06:58.854 --> 00:07:06.284
- confirmation etc. Without that the matrix can become a set of impressions rather than a defensible work

00:07:06.284 --> 00:07:10.142
- record Weaknesses slash fixes first the quote-unquote

00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:16.235
- Defensible to the court is underdeveloped. The only listed question under that heading is the earliest

00:07:16.235 --> 00:07:22.215
- groundbreaking date. That is important, but court defensibility should include more. Is the site legally

00:07:22.215 --> 00:07:28.023
- available? Is there a documented path to acquisition? Are utilities available on a reliable timeline?

00:07:28.023 --> 00:07:33.205
- Are zoning slash permitted steps ministerial or discretionary? Is the site free from known

00:07:33.205 --> 00:07:38.558
- fatal environmental and floodway obstacles? Can the county show that the site does not create

00:07:38.722 --> 00:07:44.478
- quote, unreasonable delay, unquote, compared with alternatives. Does the site support a facility that

00:07:44.478 --> 00:07:50.122
- actually remedies the unconstitutional conditions? Second, the metrics do not distinguish must-have

00:07:50.122 --> 00:07:55.822
- from nice-to-have. For example, floodway status, minimum usable acreage, and the site control should

00:07:55.822 --> 00:08:01.804
- be threshold questions. Walking paths, future transit, and proximity to services are important but should

00:08:01.804 --> 00:08:05.246
- not be allowed to outweigh the fatal timeline legal barrier.

00:08:06.370 --> 00:08:12.051
- Third, within city limits should be treated as a scope constraint, not a quality metric. Because the

00:08:12.051 --> 00:08:17.845
- subcommittee is charged to evaluate properties within the city limits, that criteria should be a gate.

00:08:17.845 --> 00:08:23.582
- So again, that pass fail gate may be a gate for this committee, but it should not be scored as though

00:08:23.582 --> 00:08:29.433
- being inside the city automatically makes a site operationally or legally superior. Fourth, the owner's

00:08:29.433 --> 00:08:34.270
- willing to sell is too vague. Willing to sell should be replaced or supplemented with

00:08:35.298 --> 00:08:42.451
- Written expression of interest, asking price, appraisal basis, option or purchase agreement, feasibility,

00:08:42.451 --> 00:08:49.266
- title issues, relocation issues, condemnation risk and timeline, likelihood of price escalation once

00:08:49.266 --> 00:08:56.216
- the site is publicly discussed. Fifth, and just to preview this, there are eight total main points and

00:08:56.216 --> 00:09:02.964
- still three more sub points, so this goes on for a little bit more. Thank you. The cost metrics are

00:09:02.964 --> 00:09:03.774
- too narrow.

00:09:04.002 --> 00:09:09.316
- Purchase price is only one part of the cost. The matrix should evaluate total site cost, including

00:09:09.316 --> 00:09:15.006
- acquisition, demolition, relocation of existing occupants, road improvements, utility extension, grading,

00:09:15.006 --> 00:09:20.481
- stormwater, environmental remediation, legal fees, delay, inflation cost, temporary prisoner transfer

00:09:20.481 --> 00:09:26.225
- cost, operational cost over time. Sixth, operational adequacy needs more jail-specific detail. The current

00:09:26.225 --> 00:09:29.982
- metrics ask about 448 beds, single-floor design, co-location transit.

00:09:30.146 --> 00:09:35.890
- Entrances, exits, hospital distance, emergency services, and distance to services. That is useful, but

00:09:35.890 --> 00:09:41.746
- it misses key operational questions such as secure vehicles, Sallyport feasibility, separation of public

00:09:41.746 --> 00:09:47.490
- staff service, detainee circulation, adequate setbacks, secure perimeter, ambulance fire access, staff

00:09:47.490 --> 00:09:53.123
- parking and shift change flow, visitor family access, attorney visitation, medical and mental health

00:09:53.123 --> 00:09:59.257
- space, classification separation intake, release flow, programming space, future expansion without disruption

00:09:59.257 --> 00:10:00.094
- of operations.

00:10:00.482 --> 00:10:06.942
- Seventh, 448 beds should be handled carefully. The metric asks whether the site adequately has usable

00:10:06.942 --> 00:10:12.959
- space for 448 beds. The B-square reports that the number was tied to the 2020 criminal justice

00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:19.355
- and incarceration studies 30-year estimate of 448 to 150 beds by 2049. That may be a useful capacity

00:10:19.355 --> 00:10:25.182
- planning ceiling, but the matrix should avoid making 448 beds look like a policy commitment

00:10:25.314 --> 00:10:31.916
- Better phrasing would be, or can is, can the site accommodate the adopted program, required classification

00:10:31.916 --> 00:10:38.147
- separation, medical mental health programming space, future expansion of capacity if needed. Eighth,

00:10:38.147 --> 00:10:44.687
- renovation plus curry should not be treated as just another site without special scrutiny. If the current

00:10:44.687 --> 00:10:48.574
- jail plus curry is included, the matrix needs extra questions.

00:10:48.866 --> 00:10:54.744
- Can the existing building be made constitutional? Can the renovation occur while the jail remains occupied?

00:10:54.744 --> 00:11:00.241
- What temporary housing transfer plan would be required? What is the cost of phasing? Does renovation

00:11:00.241 --> 00:11:05.684
- create unreasonable delay? Does the existing structure allow modern classification, medical, mental

00:11:05.684 --> 00:11:11.126
- health programming, and staff safety needs? Would the site actually add enough net usable detention

00:11:11.126 --> 00:11:14.174
- and service space? Suggested revised scoring structure.

00:11:14.562 --> 00:11:22.256
- We could divide the matrix into gates and scored criteria, pass fail gates. A site should fail early.

00:11:22.256 --> 00:11:30.026
- And if any of these are not satisfied, the gate questions could be legal feasibility. Just give me one

00:11:30.026 --> 00:11:37.645
- second. I'm sorry. Legal feasibility, my apologies. I'm just trying to deal with a team's issue. The

00:11:37.645 --> 00:11:44.510
- gate question, legal feasibility, is a site legally available for jail justice use without

00:11:44.642 --> 00:11:50.899
- fatal floodway zoning statutory barrier site control can the county obtain control quickly enough through

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:56.860
- purchase option donation or other documented path minimum usable area does the site meet the minimum

00:11:56.860 --> 00:12:02.881
- usable acreage square footage of the adopted program utility feasibility can water sewer electric gas

00:12:02.881 --> 00:12:09.374
- fiber stormwater needs be met in the required timeline environmental geotechnical feasibility are there known

00:12:09.986 --> 00:12:16.413
- fatal environmental soil floodplain wetland remedial remediation issues litigation timeline can the

00:12:16.413 --> 00:12:23.162
- site plausibly support a court defensible construction schedule. Then weighted scoring after those gates

00:12:23.162 --> 00:12:29.654
- are satisfied suggested weight for each category court defensibility speed to construction should be

00:12:29.654 --> 00:12:31.582
- 25 percent of all the scores.

00:12:31.810 --> 00:12:39.435
- operational adequacy in jail design functionality should be 20 percent legal zoning permitted certainty

00:12:39.435 --> 00:12:47.279
- 15 percent total site development and life cycle cost 15 percent access to courts council services transit

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:55.344
- families 10 percent expandability resilience and long-term flexibility 10 percent evidence quality confidence

00:12:55.344 --> 00:13:01.502
- level 5 percent that concludes her significant comments and then just as additional

00:13:01.794 --> 00:13:09.658
- We received additional comments of additional sites. Those included two recommendations for the former

00:13:09.658 --> 00:13:17.446
- hospital site, so the Hopewell sites has been split up. We also had some significant suggestions from

00:13:17.446 --> 00:13:25.157
- city council member Flaherty, including some new properties and including some that you have already

00:13:25.157 --> 00:13:30.654
- considered. Those include the convention center parking lot that's just

00:13:31.010 --> 00:13:37.771
- West of the beeline, which I believe is county owned the city hall parking lot. So the parking

00:13:37.771 --> 00:13:45.031
- lot immediately in front of city hall off of Morton street hope well again and then A privately owned

00:13:45.031 --> 00:13:51.294
- site. There have been two sites recommended for for that are currently in private hands

00:13:51.458 --> 00:13:56.215
- My recommendation and of course this board does not have to follow my recommendation but my

00:13:56.215 --> 00:14:01.697
- best recommendation would be for those properties that are owned privately. We may want to set 30 minutes

00:14:01.697 --> 00:14:07.075
- aside to meet an executive session just to discuss those properties in their details. That way you know

00:14:07.075 --> 00:14:12.246
- we avoid some of the problems that we talked about before. Of course that's a discussion matter for

00:14:12.246 --> 00:14:17.417
- you all but we did receive at least two suggestions. One from the site owner themselves in terms of

00:14:17.417 --> 00:14:20.830
- private property that could be available and then another is just

00:14:21.058 --> 00:14:28.500
- the community member observed underutilized space. Thank you. And might you know on the two additional

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:35.870
- ones that may or may not need a meeting, do you know if they're in the city? They're both in the city

00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:43.385
- as I recall. It's possible one isn't, but I think they're both in the city. Okay. Thank you. And I just

00:14:43.385 --> 00:14:47.070
- maybe a slight other detail is I understand we are

00:14:47.874 --> 00:14:53.501
- just for the sake of the operation of this board. We are working on getting you those details. So as

00:14:53.501 --> 00:14:59.129
- Commissioner Madeira had recommended, some of those details are important obviously that are already

00:14:59.129 --> 00:15:02.750
- on your metrics. We think it's important to have those in a very

00:15:02.914 --> 00:15:07.757
- usable summary format that's uniform. So that is something we are going to work on and to hopefully

00:15:07.757 --> 00:15:12.599
- provide to you by the next meeting Monday is that you'll have every site listed with those details,

00:15:12.599 --> 00:15:17.442
- including what the current zoning is, what their responsibility was, is it historically designated,

00:15:17.442 --> 00:15:22.381
- what the parcel is, is it in private hands, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. There are obviously some

00:15:22.381 --> 00:15:27.272
- answers that we won't know. Some of those are very detailed construction questions, just due to that

00:15:27.272 --> 00:15:31.582
- would be farther down the line, but we'll provide the information that we possibly have.

00:15:32.130 --> 00:15:39.066
- Thank you for the I hope it'll be ready by next Monday's meeting, right? I will make sure that it's

00:15:39.066 --> 00:15:46.003
- ready for next month. Thank you so much. That's very useful. Did you know we're under we're under a

00:15:46.003 --> 00:15:53.078
- tight timeline. So there was a lot to hear here. I'd like to hear what you all are thinking about the

00:15:53.078 --> 00:16:00.222
- whole list of things that were presented that Larry read from Commissioner Madura. Is there a comment?

00:16:01.570 --> 00:16:08.337
- feedback on that at this point. Personally, I'm really appreciative for all the public comments that

00:16:08.337 --> 00:16:15.438
- we've received. My first feedback is I know Mr. Allen shared that he's going to send them to us. I didn't

00:16:15.438 --> 00:16:22.473
- receive anything from Councillor Flaherty yet, so if we could all receive a copy of them, I'd appreciate

00:16:22.473 --> 00:16:25.086
- it. Yeah, we were getting those today.

00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:30.726
- My thought, again, is to have the read-only spreadsheet. So you'll just be able to see them as they

00:16:30.726 --> 00:16:36.311
- come in so you can look. You just can't comment with each other. Right. That'd be great. Read-only is

00:16:36.311 --> 00:16:41.896
- fine. So since there's so much to review, would it be OK if we can kind of digest those new comments,

00:16:41.896 --> 00:16:47.482
- start our site evaluations? And if we need to add metrics, we can do that along the way. It'll let us

00:16:47.482 --> 00:16:50.110
- fine tune. Right. Some of them I think we have.

00:16:50.274 --> 00:16:56.661
- pretty good capture of some of them that were on here is I mean I wasn't looking at it wasn't comparing

00:16:56.661 --> 00:17:02.987
- everything is they were all read off but I thought there were some that may have been at least similar

00:17:02.987 --> 00:17:09.313
- so we can fine tune them maybe and add others right that what you're thinking right right anybody else

00:17:09.313 --> 00:17:15.823
- have anything on that yes based on attorney Allen's comments I'm wondering if everyone would be available

00:17:15.823 --> 00:17:19.262
- at 530 on Monday to have an executive session or at 515

00:17:19.490 --> 00:17:25.862
- make sure we have enough time to do the transition, but to have that executive session to discuss the

00:17:25.862 --> 00:17:32.234
- private property. Briefly. One issue is probably Monday's not going to be available to you because of

00:17:32.234 --> 00:17:38.793
- the 48-hour rule, because Friday's a holiday, and so we don't have the 48 hours at this point. You could

00:17:38.793 --> 00:17:45.353
- meet after the meeting and executive session, but we'd have to post it literally now, as the clock runs.

00:17:45.353 --> 00:17:48.414
- So Wednesday is a more viable option. I'm sorry.

00:17:48.514 --> 00:17:53.743
- Are we not meeting on Thursday? It's possible Thursday. Thursday. Actually, it's Thursday.

00:17:53.743 --> 00:17:59.603
- It's not Wednesday. It's not Wednesday. Boston, the fruit's out of my mouth. Is the Naughty Hill Room

00:17:59.603 --> 00:18:05.579
- available at 515 on Thursday next? I believe it's July 9th. I think typically you would do an executive

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:11.497
- session in a different meeting room. Oh, a conference room. We can do it in my conference room. Great.

00:18:11.497 --> 00:18:16.094
- Thank you. Are you all available? I think so, but let me check. What day is it?

00:18:16.386 --> 00:18:31.844
- So Thursday the 9th at 515 in the HR Council conference room. And do you know where that is? So you

00:18:31.844 --> 00:18:43.902
- know where the council office is. There's a conference room right next to it.

00:18:45.410 --> 00:18:53.562
- That's 306, right? The council office is 306. That will be the executive session. I have 15. Okay.

00:18:53.562 --> 00:19:02.207
- All right. So that brings us to thank you, Jeff, for giving me the information about the square footage.

00:19:02.207 --> 00:19:10.606
- Should I just read that, you think, or do you want to read it for us? I could just go through it real

00:19:10.606 --> 00:19:13.982
- briefly. That would be great. Thank you.

00:19:14.626 --> 00:19:21.843
- I think that we have, when we, and these are all from a document, which I think you did. Yeah,

00:19:21.843 --> 00:19:29.515
- I just came, I just printed it. Yeah, so all these numbers came from that document, and there's more

00:19:29.515 --> 00:19:37.188
- in there, so dig into your heart's content. The total score, that document's from August 20th, 2025,

00:19:37.188 --> 00:19:41.214
- so it probably is not the most up-to-date, accurate,

00:19:42.146 --> 00:19:49.854
- If we had gone through the final process that we were working on finishing in December, so there might

00:19:49.854 --> 00:19:57.488
- be some slight changes, but I think it's a good baseline for what we're talking about here. The total

00:19:57.488 --> 00:20:05.420
- planned square foot for the joint facility was 237,316 square feet. And the total building, the estimated

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:08.414
- cost, construction cost was 194 million

00:20:08.866 --> 00:20:20.342
- $90,689 that did not include a little over $30 million of soft costs and soft costs would include things

00:20:20.342 --> 00:20:32.036
- such as purchase price of the property and furniture and a lot of other things. I think maybe even utility

00:20:32.036 --> 00:20:33.566
- work as well.

00:20:33.762 --> 00:20:45.131
- of that, the budget for the construction of the sheriff and jail space was for 123,455 square feet and

00:20:45.131 --> 00:20:55.838
- that budget was the estimate was $122,256,182. I'm not positive if that included any of the site

00:20:56.610 --> 00:21:04.609
- I mean, if you look in the document, it's a little unclear. With the remaining 113,861 square feet,

00:21:04.609 --> 00:21:12.928
- or were associated with the courts in the justice-related department, and that estimated cost was going

00:21:12.928 --> 00:21:20.927
- to be $71,834,507. I would say that we've been told by the estimator all along that for every year,

00:21:20.927 --> 00:21:26.206
- you're going to look at 5% to 10% increase in construction costs.

00:21:26.306 --> 00:21:34.389
- So that is a factor. The other thing I included in the email is we talked about jail transport. And

00:21:34.389 --> 00:21:42.715
- so we actually not too long ago, the jail did purchase a transportation van and it was about $105,000.

00:21:42.715 --> 00:21:51.364
- And so in the starting jail staff is approximately $30 an hour, $29.99. When we were looking at transport,

00:21:51.364 --> 00:21:55.486
- we were thinking of maybe six swing shifts in this

00:21:56.226 --> 00:22:02.285
- different aspect of this, but I'm not sure it would be needed for this portion. And we were looking

00:22:02.285 --> 00:22:08.768
- at it, it'd be about $500,000 for the personnel side if you needed six people. Again, when we were looking

00:22:08.768 --> 00:22:14.827
- at that, we were thinking, what happens if we have to transport people out of county and bring them

00:22:14.827 --> 00:22:20.946
- back? And so that was what we were thinking about with that estimate, but I think it's a number that

00:22:20.946 --> 00:22:23.006
- you guys should be made aware of.

00:22:26.306 --> 00:22:33.331
- I do have some questions if you don't mind. I guess just starting at the end of the memo, so what, could

00:22:33.331 --> 00:22:40.089
- we find out what the annual cost of each jail employee would be, including benefits, because I think

00:22:40.089 --> 00:22:47.181
- that's what the budget would require. Could we get that? That $500,000 figure, I have it on a spreadsheet

00:22:47.181 --> 00:22:53.938
- in my office. That would be for six. I could just take a six of that to get that number, and that is

00:22:53.938 --> 00:22:54.942
- for a starting

00:22:55.810 --> 00:23:03.553
- jail staff, right? Yes. I think the answer is the cost of employment of that would be easy to find out.

00:23:03.553 --> 00:23:11.446
- Okay. And then when you talk about a jail transport van, how many people would be able to be transported?

00:23:11.446 --> 00:23:18.966
- I'd have to talk with the jail staff about that. No idea. And so these are only six employees needed

00:23:18.966 --> 00:23:23.582
- to be on the transport van from go to one place to the other.

00:23:23.778 --> 00:23:31.986
- this is not additional staff that might be needed once they get to that location. In the context of

00:23:31.986 --> 00:23:40.194
- what you guys are looking on, I can't answer that question. I don't know how that would be. I guess

00:23:40.194 --> 00:23:48.402
- in my mind, if I am the person responsible, and we'd have to talk to the jail transition team about

00:23:48.402 --> 00:23:50.782
- the answer to this question.

00:23:51.074 --> 00:23:56.732
- completely, but if we're going out of county, it's going to be a longer trip, and so therefore, I'm

00:23:56.732 --> 00:24:02.391
- not sure if they couldn't do double duty and transport in, stay with the person through their court

00:24:02.391 --> 00:24:08.049
- time, and then transport back out. Whether that needs to be two different shifts, one shift, I just

00:24:08.049 --> 00:24:13.877
- don't know. That would be a question for them. The jail transition team? We could send an email to the

00:24:13.877 --> 00:24:16.254
- jail transition team to get more details.

00:24:18.530 --> 00:24:25.323
- Can I keep going? I do have some more if you don't mind. Yes, I think so. Go ahead. Okay. So it says

00:24:25.323 --> 00:24:32.250
- the total square footage of the planned facility, and I have that. I was hopeful that we could get per

00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:39.043
- department and the shared spaces. And I know there's a version of that. When I was watching the CATS

00:24:39.043 --> 00:24:40.254
- meeting from 225,

00:24:40.610 --> 00:24:46.889
- about seven minutes and 50 seconds into that video, DLC during their presentation puts up a building

00:24:46.889 --> 00:24:53.105
- programming spreadsheet in which they were like, this is a sampling and this spreadsheet shows what

00:24:53.105 --> 00:24:59.384
- the square footage is for each of the departments. It would be helpful to know those if we're trying

00:24:59.384 --> 00:25:04.606
- to come up with creative solutions and what square footage we need for the project.

00:25:04.706 --> 00:25:11.361
- I could not find those yesterday when I sent this email, but I think I have those now, so I can forward

00:25:11.361 --> 00:25:17.824
- that to Kim and she can process it through this evening still. Oh, perfect. And I just want you guys

00:25:17.824 --> 00:25:24.351
- to be aware is that these numbers, these numbers that we talked about, those would include all shared

00:25:24.351 --> 00:25:30.878
- spaces, hallways, bathrooms. I think when you look at department-specific spaces, the numbers will be

00:25:30.878 --> 00:25:33.886
- smaller than the total because of that, right?

00:25:34.658 --> 00:25:41.000
- 70 or 113,000 square feet divvied up amongst all the departments, it will be, some of that's divvied

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:47.594
- up, but the hallways and things would not be assigned necessarily to any department. I think I'm hopeful

00:25:47.594 --> 00:25:53.873
- if I get the spreadsheet I could do the math and maybe show my work and you can correct me if I've.

00:25:53.873 --> 00:26:00.279
- And my last question was when we're, I think frequently talk about the project, we talk about sheriff

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.230
- and jail. And I was trying to be very specific

00:26:04.322 --> 00:26:13.631
- I understand what we're talking about. When we talk about building the jail, I'm thinking literally

00:26:13.631 --> 00:26:23.126
- the jail and jail administration. Then the sheriff is separate really from that in some ways. So when

00:26:23.126 --> 00:26:31.038
- you talk about the sheriff in the jail space, the budget was $122 million in change.

00:26:31.266 --> 00:26:38.050
- Can you tell me how much was that for the jail and jail administration versus the sheriff's office?

00:26:38.050 --> 00:26:45.105
- What I plan to send you has the square footage, I think, for the jail and the sheriff's spaces. I don't

00:26:45.105 --> 00:26:52.024
- know what the cost difference allocation between those are. If you look at the material, it basically

00:26:52.024 --> 00:26:56.094
- talks about the sheriff's space, including the jail and the

00:26:56.354 --> 00:27:04.116
- non-sheriff's face, a justice face. So I don't have it broken down between sheriff and jail. Is there

00:27:04.116 --> 00:27:09.214
- someone we could follow up with to find out what the breakdown is?

00:27:16.098 --> 00:27:23.161
- I think the person who I would talk to if we still had them under contract and we still had the ability

00:27:23.161 --> 00:27:29.953
- to compensate them would be the WGS group who is the estimators for this. They would be the one who

00:27:29.953 --> 00:27:36.812
- put together all these numbers and said this is what it's going to cost. The county doesn't have any

00:27:36.812 --> 00:27:41.566
- spreadsheets that we could look at that we could maybe figure it out.

00:27:42.594 --> 00:27:52.551
- I think what you have is probably the closest. I can look for additional, but I'm not sure. I don't

00:27:52.551 --> 00:28:02.906
- recall ever breaking out the sheriff from the jail space. Thank you. I appreciate it. Anyone else? This

00:28:02.906 --> 00:28:09.278
- design, the numbers you have, this was a single story, correct?

00:28:10.178 --> 00:28:18.353
- There was no double stories anywhere in this one? Not the Justice Building, sorry. I know that was double

00:28:18.353 --> 00:28:26.065
- stories or two stories, but just the jail part. The jail part would have... I don't consider it two

00:28:26.065 --> 00:28:34.008
- stories, but there would be a mezzanine level where the staff would be so that they could see into the

00:28:34.008 --> 00:28:38.558
- secured areas. So it's not a... The jail itself would have

00:28:42.466 --> 00:28:47.982
- the current situation where they're staying on two different floors in the same block is what you're

00:28:47.982 --> 00:28:53.444
- saying. I kind of want to make sure I'm extremely clear on this because if you walk into a block in

00:28:53.444 --> 00:28:59.124
- the current jail, there's one level of cells and there's a second level of cells. I think that remains.

00:28:59.124 --> 00:29:04.804
- What I don't think is that you have one level of cells, second level of cells, another floor, one level

00:29:04.804 --> 00:29:10.430
- of cells, second level of cells. Okay. So when we say single story, we do mean potentially two floors.

00:29:10.562 --> 00:29:17.565
- just not in the same way that it is now. Two housing floors, one floor for common area. Yes. Okay.

00:29:17.565 --> 00:29:25.064
- I gotcha. Okay. That is my understanding. Okay. In the course of all the discussions with cost estimates,

00:29:25.064 --> 00:29:32.491
- did the county commissioners or county council receive any estimates regarding multiple floors, multiple

00:29:32.491 --> 00:29:35.038
- floored jail? Not for the jail, no.

00:29:53.346 --> 00:30:07.510
- Okay, we're good I think. Okay. So now we have that. Thank you for presenting this to us. No problem.

00:30:07.510 --> 00:30:21.118
- So now on the data, I guess we're on to side evaluations maybe, no? Yeah. So we have, I gave you,

00:30:21.474 --> 00:30:30.263
- The staff printed out a copy of the most recent updated site metrics evaluation, which includes an address

00:30:30.263 --> 00:30:38.724
- or near address where it may be close to an intersection. So how, shall we just go through it? Is that

00:30:38.724 --> 00:30:47.678
- the best way or do you have a priority as far as doing different areas first or second or third or whatever?

00:30:47.678 --> 00:30:50.142
- You have two recommendations.

00:30:50.370 --> 00:30:56.271
- Oh, that's right, you do it, I forgot. So the first one is, I was hopeful that any properties that we

00:30:56.271 --> 00:31:02.057
- receive to evaluate would be included on the spreadsheet. And even if they ultimately get screened,

00:31:02.057 --> 00:31:08.132
- I just wanted one place for the public to be able to look to know everything that was suggested. I heard

00:31:08.132 --> 00:31:14.033
- a few tonight. I know that Attorney General is gathering those, but by next meeting, with permission,

00:31:14.033 --> 00:31:18.430
- if I could just add those into the spreadsheet so that we don't lose track.

00:31:20.418 --> 00:31:26.912
- I think it's fine to put them out there in the same spreadsheet, no? Yeah. If they're private, I will

00:31:26.912 --> 00:31:33.469
- not name them. I'll just simply say private site one, private site two. I'm happy to do that so we can

00:31:33.469 --> 00:31:40.217
- provide that for the next time. And yeah, we'll give some sort of designation for any private site that's

00:31:40.217 --> 00:31:45.310
- added. Perfect. Then I was hoping we could add the question if it, as a metric,

00:31:45.538 --> 00:31:51.426
- whether or not it can maintain constitutional standards of care. That's right. And where would that

00:31:51.426 --> 00:31:57.432
- fit in, you think? I think it would actually be a screening question. Screening, OK. I recognize that

00:31:57.432 --> 00:32:03.496
- there are many components to reaching constitutional standards of care. For example, if we look at the

00:32:03.496 --> 00:32:09.620
- ACLU letter that I shared with everyone on Monday, I think we get some of that information there, which

00:32:09.620 --> 00:32:15.390
- I'm hoping we can share on the county website for the subcommittee if we can. And the Ray report.

00:32:15.586 --> 00:32:21.244
- I'm just concerned that we may pick a site that can't reach those standards. What would the screening

00:32:21.244 --> 00:32:26.846
- question say on our form here? Does it meet constitutional care or something like that? It meets the

00:32:26.846 --> 00:32:32.504
- constitutional standards of care. Can the property, shall we say, can the property, will the property

00:32:32.504 --> 00:32:34.334
- meet? That's a great suggestion.

00:32:44.770 --> 00:32:52.428
- that you sent me that I would send those properties to you once I had them but it sounds like mr. Allen

00:32:52.428 --> 00:32:59.792
- is gonna be able to do that for me okay sorry I was looking for something so misunderstood and then

00:32:59.792 --> 00:33:07.230
- my last suggestion would be we start with the screening questions specifically the floodway question

00:33:08.290 --> 00:33:15.674
- because I think we learned Ms. Turner-Kings was sharing with us the floodway conversation, which if

00:33:15.674 --> 00:33:23.206
- anyone needs from the public would like to hear that again, we could do that. But my understanding is

00:33:23.206 --> 00:33:31.033
- we cannot build a jail within a floodway because it's a property where someone is in a boat while they'll

00:33:31.033 --> 00:33:38.270
- be sleeping. That would be my suggestion if you're. So that's the first question you think still.

00:33:38.882 --> 00:33:47.101
- And then where does this new one we just added fit? The question would be the third question under the

00:33:47.101 --> 00:33:55.639
- screening questions. We have basically 312 if I wrote it up above. Okay. So is the property on a floodway?

00:33:55.639 --> 00:34:03.619
- Shall we start there? I have another question though. I don't think Monroe Hospital is in the city.

00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:05.374
- Can you confirm that?

00:34:05.730 --> 00:34:11.889
- I think I had two questions about that one. One, are you really talking about Monroe Hospital or are

00:34:11.889 --> 00:34:18.109
- you talking about the property south of Monroe Hospital? I thought we were talking about the property

00:34:18.109 --> 00:34:24.268
- south of Monroe Hospital. Okay. It is not in City Women's, if that's your question. Okay. Yeah. So I

00:34:24.268 --> 00:34:30.609
- thought that column should probably be deleted if we're not keeping non-city properties. Right. I think

00:34:30.609 --> 00:34:34.878
- in some ways, I think that's what we ought to do first for me. Right.

00:34:35.842 --> 00:34:42.083
- We move up question B2, which says within city limits, move that up to a screening question, that'd

00:34:42.083 --> 00:34:48.761
- be screening question four, and just say within city limits. But parentheses by county council resolution,

00:34:48.761 --> 00:34:54.565
- because the within city limits was because county council put that in the resolution forming

00:34:54.565 --> 00:35:00.493
- the subcommittee. We have not evaluated it, we have not made a determination on that they did.

00:35:00.493 --> 00:35:04.862
- So I just, I think my concern is if we keep non-city columns in here,

00:35:05.154 --> 00:35:11.967
- like we can just keep adding columns to infinity. We didn't choose the mandates of how we came to be

00:35:11.967 --> 00:35:18.713
- in the subcommittee, but I do think, and I understand keeping North Park, I suppose, for comparison

00:35:18.713 --> 00:35:25.729
- purposes, I think I'd suggest moving it all the way to the right, just so it's kind of in its own zone,

00:35:25.729 --> 00:35:32.812
- perhaps, because that is the property that's kind of been evaluated maybe the most already. But in terms

00:35:32.812 --> 00:35:35.038
- of Monroe Hospital or any other,

00:35:35.138 --> 00:35:41.571
- I think all the rest of these are in city limits, but if I missed one, I apologize, but I think anything

00:35:41.571 --> 00:35:47.698
- other than North Park should be struck. I just don't think it's productive to be listing, because I

00:35:47.698 --> 00:35:53.824
- mean, there's 10 more things we could add on this list that have been evaluated previously. I mean,

00:35:53.824 --> 00:36:00.258
- we talked about several of them, and I don't know. I just think we can draw a line somewhere, but that's

00:36:00.258 --> 00:36:01.054
- my position.

00:36:02.786 --> 00:36:10.884
- going to make a motion or where I would move to strike Monroe Hospital and move North Park like to the

00:36:10.884 --> 00:36:19.060
- furthest right on this column and maybe you know just somehow mark that it's for comparison only second

00:36:19.060 --> 00:36:27.000
- okay all those in favor I I'm gonna pose it I think miss Renbeck is completely right about how there

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.302
- could be several on here the reason I'm a

00:36:30.498 --> 00:36:36.141
- I'm opposing it because I was hopeful there would be one spreadsheet the community can go to and say

00:36:36.141 --> 00:36:41.951
- what sites have been suggested. It will be screened out so we won't do the evaluation, but I'm opposing

00:36:41.951 --> 00:36:47.650
- it because I don't want members of the community to have to go through hundreds of documents and CATS

00:36:47.650 --> 00:36:53.628
- videos to be able to figure out what we did. So that's the only reason. Let me offer a friendly suggestion

00:36:53.628 --> 00:36:59.774
- here maybe. Can it be shaded or something so that we know it's not available? That column, that whole column?

00:37:00.642 --> 00:37:06.916
- Well, to indicate to the public that it was on there, but we're not considering it now. We talked about

00:37:06.916 --> 00:37:13.130
- a cover letter too. So if we want to include a list in the cover letter of, you know, other properties

00:37:13.130 --> 00:37:19.162
- that were, we could not consider because they were not in the, you know, other properties that have

00:37:19.162 --> 00:37:25.255
- been considered previously, but are not in the city. So we could not consider them. Right. Because I

00:37:25.255 --> 00:37:30.142
- know there's several. Something like that. I don't know. Maybe the cover letter.

00:37:30.466 --> 00:37:36.556
- Here are the ones we are aware of. Mr. Cockrell at our first meeting, I think, you know, it's already

00:37:36.556 --> 00:37:42.347
- listed some of them. We already have them. Okay. Colonel Pike and a few others, I think he said.

00:37:42.347 --> 00:37:48.378
- Colonel Pike, there's one that's called the one really far south and then the Monroe Hospital. Yeah.

00:37:48.378 --> 00:37:54.587
- The hospital or the three that. So then maybe that's a place they could be. The north parts. Accessible

00:37:54.587 --> 00:37:57.214
- to the public, but not necessarily on here.

00:37:57.794 --> 00:38:03.793
- I think that's fair. I would agree with that. If we voted on that, I would. So do you want to make it

00:38:03.793 --> 00:38:09.851
- a friendly amendment? I would make a motion, then. Well, I'm going to keep my previous motion. I think

00:38:09.851 --> 00:38:15.673
- it's been voted on. But wait, can we? I'm sorry. Previous motion has already been voted on. Right.

00:38:15.673 --> 00:38:21.966
- Can we? We've done this before. We could be in the draw. I'm going to amend my motion. Can we not withdraw

00:38:21.966 --> 00:38:23.966
- them? You can vote it on. OK. OK.

00:38:24.194 --> 00:38:29.513
- You could just do a motion to reconsider. Okay, thank you. I knew there was some other terminology.

00:38:29.513 --> 00:38:34.938
- Sure, then I guess I do a motion to reconsider and just continue to strike Monroe, move North Park to

00:38:34.938 --> 00:38:40.683
- the far right, and then include a section in our cover letter that describes a list of the other properties

00:38:40.683 --> 00:38:46.002
- that are not in the city that have been considered previously. So it's all in one location. Second.

00:38:46.002 --> 00:38:51.321
- All right. So all those in favor of the, what did we call that? I motion to reconsider. Reconsider,

00:38:51.321 --> 00:38:53.502
- that's the term. To reconsider, say aye.

00:38:53.762 --> 00:39:06.150
- Opposed. Okay. We have come to terms with that. Thank you. Now we're down to. So do we. Are we are we

00:39:06.150 --> 00:39:18.538
- thinking about. Hospital was or wasn't in the city. It is not. So that one stays in or goes out. That

00:39:18.538 --> 00:39:23.518
- goes out. Okay. Thank you. West side of.

00:39:23.650 --> 00:39:32.375
- Yes, I know where it is. I just want to make sure I got the city criteria right. Yeah. Well, it's like

00:39:32.375 --> 00:39:41.438
- south of the hospital too. Yeah. All right. So let's reaffirm where we're at with the number of properties

00:39:41.438 --> 00:39:49.909
- we have left. 11 plus North Park, but that doesn't include the ones Mr. Allen's going to add. Okay.

00:39:49.909 --> 00:39:52.958
- So are we all on the same page now?

00:39:53.858 --> 00:40:00.682
- Okay, he has I think he I think four though, right? You said city parking convention parking and then

00:40:00.682 --> 00:40:07.440
- to private And then to private for potentially more. Okay. Okay. All right So now are we down to the

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:14.265
- is the property in a floodway or by my keeping track? All right. Yes Okay, so Start from the left and

00:40:14.265 --> 00:40:21.290
- work our way to the right I mean, I guess I'd ask if anyone from any of the legal's know if any of these

00:40:21.290 --> 00:40:23.230
- properties are in a floodway

00:40:23.426 --> 00:40:32.319
- off the top of their heads. I think the Bloomington tarantula garage is so it's partially in the floodway.

00:40:32.319 --> 00:40:40.962
- The eastern most edge of the transit property is in 100 year floodway. So it's not it's not in the most

00:40:40.962 --> 00:40:45.118
- volatile floodway area. It's on the fringe of it.

00:40:47.106 --> 00:40:54.622
- And some of the documents I think we presented before have shown the maps of those, right? The various

00:40:54.622 --> 00:41:01.991
- floodways. So those have been in previous agenda, or yeah, packets. Okay. So the next one, the Curry

00:41:01.991 --> 00:41:09.288
- Building? I don't think, I think the next one on the list that may or may not be is, I know part of

00:41:09.288 --> 00:41:13.374
- the HT building is in a floodplain, but I don't know if

00:41:14.594 --> 00:41:22.358
- I guess I don't know if that necessarily precludes you from being able to build the jail. I do think

00:41:22.358 --> 00:41:30.276
- it, my memory is that it might preclude you from being able to co-locate both the jail and the justice

00:41:30.276 --> 00:41:38.425
- facility on that site. I don't know how you want to answer that. Was the ruling on floodways not directly

00:41:38.425 --> 00:41:43.422
- related to people inhabiting a boat? Would that not be the jail?

00:41:43.554 --> 00:41:50.892
- Part of the property is, but I think there's enough room outside the floodway that you could still build

00:41:50.892 --> 00:41:58.159
- the facility. Okay. Thank you. But not enough room to build justice departments. Correct. I'm not sure.

00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:05.218
- I think the property's just not big enough for both uses. Maybe this is a dumb question, but justice

00:42:05.218 --> 00:42:10.878
- departments can be built in the floodway. They can. Correct. No one lives there.

00:42:11.106 --> 00:42:18.164
- I don't know if that's advisable, but it's possible. And also, thank you. I drive by that building every

00:42:18.164 --> 00:42:25.289
- day when I go home. The floodway is a floodway, and I don't think you want to build on that. The question

00:42:25.289 --> 00:42:32.079
- then is, if we re-envision this, is there a way to build both of those on there? For this particular

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:39.002
- site, yeah. The issue is not just a floodway. It's the hidden creek that runs behind there. So there's

00:42:39.002 --> 00:42:40.414
- a significant slope.

00:42:40.514 --> 00:42:46.997
- on the western edge of that property that goes down into a literal waterway. So that's why it's partially

00:42:46.997 --> 00:42:53.175
- in the floodplain. So that's what Mr. Cockrell's speaking about. It's not really, it's not buildable

00:42:53.175 --> 00:42:59.597
- space. All the buildable space is probably, just looking at the map, is outside of the floodplain. Okay.

00:42:59.597 --> 00:43:01.310
- How would we describe that?

00:43:03.042 --> 00:43:11.823
- Yes, asterisks. I think it's good to be specific and then to the extent we can estimate how much acreage

00:43:11.823 --> 00:43:20.520
- is actually buildable, that would be another criteria for you all to consider. Thank you. And the other

00:43:20.520 --> 00:43:28.882
- one I think is the south of post office I believe is in a flood. That one is in flood? Pretty sure,

00:43:28.882 --> 00:43:32.478
- yes. I think it's the same floodway as the

00:43:32.610 --> 00:43:40.683
- as the transit garage. Are those the only properties that are in a floodway that are on the list? Out

00:43:40.683 --> 00:43:48.755
- of all the properties on the list, are those the only properties in a floodway? That I'm aware of. So

00:43:48.755 --> 00:43:56.828
- there's pretty much three, is that right? Could we please verify that by the next meeting? Thank you.

00:43:56.828 --> 00:44:02.526
- Oh, north and south, OK. So the only ones that would then be eliminated

00:44:02.786 --> 00:44:10.687
- south of Post Office, HT building, with an asterisk, and then Bloomington Transit Garage. Right. So

00:44:10.687 --> 00:44:18.587
- we have those three. The rest of them remain, right? Okay. All right. The next one is, are we ready

00:44:18.587 --> 00:44:26.014
- to move on to the next one? I'm ready to go. Okay. Is the owner willing to sell the property?

00:44:30.114 --> 00:44:37.266
- other information that we may or may not know about up here? I guess my response is, I'm not sure how

00:44:37.266 --> 00:44:44.278
- we want to answer the things that the county currently already owns, because I don't know if that's

00:44:44.278 --> 00:44:51.360
- a yes or a no. I would say it's not applicable. I think it's not applicable, yes. So I would say the

00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:58.302
- Curry building and the renovations of current building with Curry would be not applicable. I think

00:45:00.450 --> 00:45:10.257
- would be not applicable? I guess when I spoke with the people at IU, they had plans for the Bloomington

00:45:10.257 --> 00:45:19.969
- Transit garage. So at that point in time, I guess I would say no. Does IU actually own that? Ah, okay.

00:45:19.969 --> 00:45:27.230
- A fell iron bender. I don't know for certain, but I think one of the reasons

00:45:27.554 --> 00:45:33.862
- One of the few reasons we really quit looking at it is that we understood that it was going through

00:45:33.862 --> 00:45:40.360
- the city planning process, at least the fell iron was. And so I believe that site had sold, so I would

00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:46.794
- be skeptical whether that would be available for sale, but I have not talked to whoever purchased it.

00:45:46.794 --> 00:45:53.229
- I think it ended up in the property transfer section, as I remember. I think it was going through the

00:45:53.229 --> 00:45:56.446
- city planning process when we began looking at it.

00:45:56.962 --> 00:46:05.551
- And so we kind of backed away because if it was going to be reused. So I'm guessing it's not for sale

00:46:05.551 --> 00:46:14.560
- because they already just sold. Just for transparency then, could we confirm that between the next meeting

00:46:14.560 --> 00:46:23.486
- and we can just leave that blank until we know for certain? City legal. Thank you. In regard to Hopewell.

00:46:25.474 --> 00:46:32.540
- That would be up to the Redevelopment Commission, who I have not spoken to them recently, but I believe

00:46:32.540 --> 00:46:39.470
- the last time they took up the issue, they voted it down. Can you help me a little bit with Hopewell?

00:46:39.470 --> 00:46:46.264
- This is where I guess, and this is probably my own ignorance, so I need the education. I thought of

00:46:46.264 --> 00:46:48.574
- Hopewell as one kind of monolith.

00:46:48.802 --> 00:46:55.254
- My understanding is it's actually three different segments and we talked about this in a prior meeting

00:46:55.254 --> 00:47:01.517
- but would you mind kind of explaining what the multiple segments are because we're talking about it

00:47:01.517 --> 00:47:07.844
- like it's only one. Well I'm probably not the most well equipped to explain that in detail but there

00:47:07.844 --> 00:47:14.608
- are three different properties all are I believe in different stages of the zoning process. The Bloomington

00:47:14.608 --> 00:47:16.926
- City Council just approved the south

00:47:17.314 --> 00:47:27.136
- parcel to be under a PUD for development. I, truth be told, do not know the exact status update of the

00:47:27.136 --> 00:47:36.671
- other two properties, but I believe this did come to the Redevelopment Commission not recently, but

00:47:36.671 --> 00:47:46.302
- in the past few years, and I believe they declined to sell either of them. But I follow up with RDC.

00:47:46.978 --> 00:47:54.315
- And when you say either it's south, east, or is it west? So the south property is what we just voted

00:47:54.315 --> 00:48:01.651
- on. And then I believe they're the east and west properties. And I guess when we were looking, and I

00:48:01.651 --> 00:48:08.915
- don't know the city's nomenclature for where we're, but when we were looking at it, we were looking

00:48:08.915 --> 00:48:14.654
- at it on the property that currently has the old parking garage from the city.

00:48:15.298 --> 00:48:22.678
- I know there's some reuse going on with the historic part of the hospital, but we were looking at kind

00:48:22.678 --> 00:48:29.986
- of the rest of that block, for lack of a better word. I think the Hunter School is still owned by the

00:48:29.986 --> 00:48:37.437
- school corporation, so basically from the Hunter School east to Rogers, I think is what, when we looked

00:48:37.437 --> 00:48:43.742
- at it, is what we were looking at with that corner where the historic building is being

00:48:45.442 --> 00:48:51.265
- You remember a known thing. Sorry. Do you remember if the county actually went to the RDC and asked

00:48:51.265 --> 00:48:57.497
- or my memory and I could be very wrong because this is a prior administration. But my memory was basically

00:48:57.497 --> 00:49:03.611
- that county had sort of informally approached the prior administration and was told basically absolutely

00:49:03.611 --> 00:49:09.667
- not. But I don't mean I did not attend an RDC meeting where that question was asked of them. So I don't

00:49:09.667 --> 00:49:13.278
- I don't know. I also talked to one of the current RDC members

00:49:14.210 --> 00:49:20.652
- last night after or Monday night after the meeting and he he didn't recall that either. But I but he

00:49:20.652 --> 00:49:27.095
- might be new to it right. So it might have been before his time. Right. I was before my time too but

00:49:27.095 --> 00:49:33.983
- I'm happy to take responsibility for that. Come back. And if the answer from whomever RDC or administration

00:49:33.983 --> 00:49:40.362
- is just no we just need to know it so we can move on. No judgment here at all on that. I don't know

00:49:40.362 --> 00:49:43.870
- their decisions. I will just put it out there that the

00:49:46.466 --> 00:49:52.852
- earlier today so if it's not true please don't cite me. I believe the RDC has canceled their July 6th

00:49:52.852 --> 00:49:59.677
- meeting which would be the only opportunity we would have to hear feedback from them prior to the conclusion

00:49:59.677 --> 00:50:05.938
- of this committee. So I'm neutral but I just want to put that information out there. Is it possible

00:50:05.938 --> 00:50:12.325
- that when we come back to the next meeting there could be a map that just helps explain what Hopewell

00:50:12.325 --> 00:50:15.518
- South is versus Hopewell Western. That way we just

00:50:16.098 --> 00:50:26.656
- When we address it, we're all talking about the same thing. Yes. Thank you. I'm sure that exists. Sorry,

00:50:26.656 --> 00:50:37.114
- Mr. Allen. I apologize. Thank you. You're giving him a lot of tasks, April. I know. Okay. Okay. Willing

00:50:37.114 --> 00:50:41.438
- to sell. Okay. So hope well. Unsure. Yeah.

00:50:41.762 --> 00:50:51.573
- double check, the last I understood is that the school corporation was in negotiation with a potential

00:50:51.573 --> 00:51:01.480
- purchaser, but I don't know where that would, where that's at. That's MCC. MCC owns that, or did, okay.

00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:10.910
- And next is North Park, no? North? Yeah, I mean, whether it's on the right side or not, the answer

00:51:12.130 --> 00:51:23.093
- I'm just gonna keep it on this list. South of the post office, right? South of the post office. South

00:51:23.093 --> 00:51:34.700
- Walnut Street. That's first. Pardon me? Yeah, okay, I was just trying to picture it. I think I was thinking

00:51:34.700 --> 00:51:38.462
- of a different section over there.

00:51:38.658 --> 00:51:44.956
- Okay, so the post office on South College, the one that's all fenced off, that's where we're at, so

00:51:44.956 --> 00:51:51.381
- it would be... South of the pawn shop. Yeah. Gotcha. So the question is, is the owner willing to sell

00:51:51.381 --> 00:51:57.931
- that property? Do we know that answer? You know who owns it? Is that not private property? I think it's

00:51:57.931 --> 00:52:04.419
- several owners. Yeah, it's owned in private hands for the most part, and that's, again, something that

00:52:04.419 --> 00:52:06.686
- we can put together and potentially

00:52:08.514 --> 00:52:16.578
- That's private. All right. Then are we moving on to the Tap Road, Wabahani Road, and Weimer Road? I

00:52:16.578 --> 00:52:24.884
- do not know if that one is for sale or not. The north of Tap Road? Yeah. The north of Tap Road is also

00:52:24.884 --> 00:52:33.270
- in private hands. I'm not aware of it being for sale, but we can try to get more information about that

00:52:33.270 --> 00:52:36.254
- again. OK. Our apologies. That's OK.

00:52:37.058 --> 00:52:45.671
- And Tap Road South is for sale. Or I've spoken with the owner and he's willing to work with us and he

00:52:45.671 --> 00:52:54.116
- would sell us the property. It would be available. It's available. Yes. Okay. As is Fullerton. Yes.

00:52:54.116 --> 00:53:02.644
- Oh, Fullerton. Yes. Okay. All right. Then back to Tap Road South. The 69 in West Tap Road area. Yes,

00:53:02.644 --> 00:53:06.782
- that is. Oh, yeah. He said yes. That's for sale.

00:53:07.874 --> 00:53:15.993
- He said they're willing to. Yes. They've reached out to us and have expressed a willingness to work.

00:53:15.993 --> 00:53:24.193
- All right. So then we talked about Fullerton. That was available. So I think we've done that question

00:53:24.193 --> 00:53:32.473
- all the way across if I'm recording correctly, right? Yes. All right. So now to will the property meet

00:53:32.473 --> 00:53:36.894
- constitutional care with the inserted question, right?

00:53:43.970 --> 00:53:51.677
- That's one of those questions that as we talk through the property might be able to answer better. So

00:53:51.677 --> 00:53:59.233
- fill it in as we go, is that what you're suggesting? Yeah. Okay. All right. That's one of the other

00:53:59.233 --> 00:54:06.789
- questions that get more information collected. Okay. All right. So then we go down to defensible to

00:54:06.789 --> 00:54:13.438
- court, which is the earliest groundbreaking date, right? You can answer that right now.

00:54:14.146 --> 00:54:20.227
- Anybody have any idea of any of those properties would be able to be. Ground earliest on or is there

00:54:20.227 --> 00:54:26.609
- any timeline on any of them that anyone knows about. I think the only one that I could say with certainty

00:54:26.609 --> 00:54:32.931
- is I think for the North Park we could probably break ground in a year. So just generally besides naming

00:54:32.931 --> 00:54:36.062
- specific properties and I apologize for the general

00:54:36.194 --> 00:54:42.295
- generalization but any green field development is going to be much faster obviously. So green field

00:54:42.295 --> 00:54:48.457
- development where there are no particular immediately obvious environmental obstacles is going to be

00:54:48.457 --> 00:54:54.802
- the fastest development. Anything that requires demolition or has been a historic site is going to take

00:54:54.802 --> 00:55:00.903
- just a bit of lead time and certainly much longer potentially adds up anywhere from I would say six

00:55:00.903 --> 00:55:05.662
- to twelve months to your construction time on depending on the complications.

00:55:06.274 --> 00:55:15.305
- And then do we know of properties, I guess, besides North Park that would be Greenfield? Some of the

00:55:15.305 --> 00:55:24.426
- Tap Road suggestions are Greenfield. They are not Brownfield development. Maybe the south of Tap Road

00:55:24.426 --> 00:55:33.278
- might be Brownfield. But those are the ones that come to mind. Just also as a word of information,

00:55:33.538 --> 00:55:40.684
- Anything that's going to be in downtown Bloomington is going to require significant environmental study,

00:55:40.684 --> 00:55:47.625
- just period, just from the historic uses. And it's likely that cleanup would also be required on some

00:55:47.625 --> 00:55:54.567
- of those sites. It's just a reality of developing in the downtown. So can we mark the chart somewhere

00:55:54.567 --> 00:56:01.781
- for that? The ones that are downtown? I don't know. Because I'm not sure exactly how far downtown reaches

00:56:01.781 --> 00:56:03.006
- for that purpose.

00:56:03.586 --> 00:56:09.150
- What you have on here is you have environmental considerations. And so what we'll try to do is highlight that.

00:56:09.282 --> 00:56:14.854
- Where we think and some of that would be taking some information I think is it's probably a

00:56:14.854 --> 00:56:21.333
- useful conversation as you narrow down this list and you get it down to the key properties we can probably

00:56:21.333 --> 00:56:27.632
- address that by looking at analogous neighboring properties. There are a few known features in the city

00:56:27.632 --> 00:56:33.688
- such as you know high arsenic levels is a common thing. Obviously we have we have a high background

00:56:33.688 --> 00:56:36.958
- arsenic naturally occurring arsenic levels. There is.

00:56:37.122 --> 00:56:44.845
- Shockingly number of historic gas stations that existed in downtown Bloomington that come up periodically

00:56:44.845 --> 00:56:52.204
- and then also of course Karst areas and if you you have any kind of water intrusion into the site so

00:56:52.204 --> 00:56:59.490
- So following up with this run back what she was suggesting I was wondering if we could add to under

00:56:59.490 --> 00:57:06.558
- B site profile under question to within city limits add another question say considered downtown

00:57:07.010 --> 00:57:12.931
- And then you can tell us which one of these properties would be considered in the region that you're

00:57:12.931 --> 00:57:19.321
- talking about. Sure. Yeah, we can do that. Would we do that? And I don't know what Greenfield and Brownfield

00:57:19.321 --> 00:57:25.184
- is. I could pretend, but if you could help me understand what that is. The shortest form of that is

00:57:25.184 --> 00:57:27.294
- did it have something on it before?

00:57:27.458 --> 00:57:32.902
- So if it had something on it before, it was already developed into something else, and this is reused,

00:57:32.902 --> 00:57:38.610
- that's typically brownfield development. It's already been something else, and it's changing into something

00:57:38.610 --> 00:57:43.948
- else. Greenfield typically means that it's a completely open, first-time, developable space. You can

00:57:43.948 --> 00:57:49.551
- turn some brownfield into greenfield, but typically all prior used properties are going to be brownfield.

00:57:49.551 --> 00:57:53.726
- Non-used properties, greenfield. Thank you. I appreciate that. Question? Sure.

00:57:54.050 --> 00:58:01.450
- The vast majority of the rest of these metrics will require more information. Given that it is seven,

00:58:01.450 --> 00:58:08.777
- I would suggest that we adjourn shortly and give our legal teams the adequate time to review for the

00:58:08.777 --> 00:58:16.176
- rest of the information. I just don't know that it's going to be an efficient use of our time to stop

00:58:16.176 --> 00:58:23.358
- this group. We need more information. Well, let's hear from legal. What does legal say about this?

00:58:24.066 --> 00:58:30.232
- Council Zulek recommended here. That's generally what I would also recommend. And I apologize that we're

00:58:30.232 --> 00:58:36.221
- putting you in this position. We appreciate your patience with us. We're trying to do this as quickly

00:58:36.221 --> 00:58:42.681
- as we can. But I think that information will be helpful just to make this a much more productive conversation

00:58:42.681 --> 00:58:48.670
- to have those basic facts for these properties. So is there anything breezing through the rest of the

00:58:48.670 --> 00:58:54.014
- questions? Do we have anything that we might be able to do yet? Does anybody see anything?

00:58:54.306 --> 00:59:06.736
- additional legal input. And how you look at the list, you see it the same way? Okay. All right. So that

00:59:06.736 --> 00:59:18.926
- brings us to the adjournment, I guess, right? Is there anything else from any of the committee or our

00:59:18.926 --> 00:59:20.958
- table over here?

00:59:21.314 --> 00:59:27.641
- legal and other experts that would like to weigh in before we adjourn for this evening. I would just

00:59:27.641 --> 00:59:33.905
- say I appreciate Commissioner Madeira wanting to know where the information is coming from. I don't

00:59:33.905 --> 00:59:40.170
- want to make this chart like full of footnotes or links or something that is not user friendly, but

00:59:40.170 --> 00:59:46.622
- I'm hoping, you know, when you guys are putting information on the chart that if possible, if we could

00:59:46.622 --> 00:59:51.070
- mark who added it or where the information came from, you know, that's

00:59:52.514 --> 00:59:58.976
- be adding a lot, but at least to know if city legalists who put this in or county legalists who put

00:59:58.976 --> 01:00:05.567
- this in or something. That way we can kind of go back to the source if we have questions about, or if

01:00:05.567 --> 01:00:12.416
- anyone has questions about where this information came from. Possible? I don't know. Anything's possible.

01:00:12.416 --> 01:00:15.518
- Okay. If you would be willing just to give us a

01:00:15.842 --> 01:00:21.124
- If we could confer with that before your next meeting and kind of try to figure out, because it might

01:00:21.124 --> 01:00:26.510
- make sense just to be able to, if we have source documents, we can just link them. So it's not a matter

01:00:26.510 --> 01:00:31.740
- of who's entering it, but they have access to it. But we can certainly try to work that out. So make

01:00:31.740 --> 01:00:36.918
- it readable and usable still. Links would be great. That would be awesome. Can I out in your emails

01:00:36.918 --> 01:00:42.718
- for something from me? I'm going to do my best to identify the history of Hopewell in relationship to the jail.

01:00:42.818 --> 01:00:49.871
- So a lot of it will probably be just chit chat. What you learn, yes. I will do my best to get us all

01:00:49.871 --> 01:00:56.993
- the information we can get. Thanks. Chair, final to that. So I think I would like to. I'm sorry, yes.

01:00:56.993 --> 01:01:04.256
- Oh, I was just piggybacking off the comment by Ms. Rembeck. The stuff that we've already been presented

01:01:04.256 --> 01:01:10.750
- today and that we've previously presented, if we could also include copies of that or links.

01:01:11.394 --> 01:01:17.333
- Mr. Cockrell was kind enough to give us this Menorah County Sheriff's Office and Jail and Justice Center.

01:01:17.333 --> 01:01:23.216
- Like in Venice? Well, for the subcommittee, we have our own website. Oh, on the website. I was wondering

01:01:23.216 --> 01:01:29.042
- if you could include a link or a copy just so the public can follow along as well. As I receive things,

01:01:29.042 --> 01:01:34.645
- I've been putting it on the website. Thank you. Yes, I will put a copy of what Mr. Cockrell gave us

01:01:34.645 --> 01:01:36.382
- tonight. Thank you. Thank you.

01:01:38.946 --> 01:01:45.804
- And then Miss April, if you're updating the matrix information, then when you forward that to me, I

01:01:45.804 --> 01:01:52.663
- will update that onto the website as well. I believe Attorney Allen agreed to update the metrics. I

01:01:52.663 --> 01:01:59.727
- think maybe we're not correct. I wanted to check. So you guys are going to handle updating the matrix,

01:01:59.727 --> 01:02:07.065
- sorry, both legal departments, so that we're not violating the open door by trying to do it all ourselves?

01:02:07.065 --> 01:02:08.574
- Correct. OK. Correct.

01:02:09.122 --> 01:02:14.843
- Turner King has already been making some of the updates for the suggested add additions for the additional

01:02:14.843 --> 01:02:20.349
- properties, you know, we'll add those as well so that everything's on one site. Although understanding

01:02:20.349 --> 01:02:25.803
- that non-city properties will go on a cover sheet that lists all the properties, so we'll try to also

01:02:25.803 --> 01:02:31.310
- develop the cover sheet. And then can we have, at some point, a link to, like, is it similar to, like,

01:02:31.310 --> 01:02:36.656
- a read-only situation, what you were thinking, where we can look at it, like, live? Yeah, so... You

01:02:36.656 --> 01:02:38.046
- mentioned that for the...

01:02:38.786 --> 01:02:44.039
- For the public comment, do you mean as you score it through the matrix, like as it gets filled in? We'll

01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:49.042
- just fill an entire matrix kind of as it's updated. Yeah, so it'll be available. It should come out

01:02:49.042 --> 01:02:54.095
- through the packet, and it'll be published again online so that it will be available to you all. And

01:02:54.095 --> 01:02:59.449
- it should get emailed out as part of the agenda. Awesome. Thank you. I will make no changes to any matrix.

01:02:59.449 --> 01:03:04.702
- You're not waiting on anything from me. We'll just come back to you. When they're doing the first thing.

01:03:06.978 --> 01:03:16.097
- Are we all on the same page here? I'm sorry about all this. A quick timeline, I know. You're in trouble.

01:03:16.097 --> 01:03:24.955
- Did you have something to add, anyone there? We're going to have to work out logistics because I'm on

01:03:24.955 --> 01:03:34.508
- vacation starting 4 o'clock tomorrow. Always taking off time starting next week. So we were just sympathizing

01:03:34.508 --> 01:03:35.550
- with Larry.

01:03:36.610 --> 01:03:44.433
- They're very concerned that I'll be the only one here for you. So we'll fill in what we can. We understand

01:03:44.433 --> 01:03:51.963
- it may not be completely done in a week. All right. Thank you. Meeting meetings. I think I'd just like

01:03:51.963 --> 01:03:59.346
- to summarize when the remaining meetings are. Yes July 6th at 6 p.m. Monday. We're going to continue

01:03:59.346 --> 01:04:03.806
- these site evaluations with an updated metric sheet and then

01:04:04.386 --> 01:04:13.130
- We've agreed to do an executive session to look at properties at 5 15 on Thursday. Regular meeting at

01:04:13.130 --> 01:04:21.788
- six on Thursday and then on the ninth we're going to have a meeting at seven. I'm sorry it's also on

01:04:21.788 --> 01:04:30.703
- the same day. Thank you. That willing the public meeting will be on this at seven on the ninth and then

01:04:30.703 --> 01:04:34.046
- Thursday and then on the 13th we will.

01:04:34.402 --> 01:04:42.175
- have another meeting Monday, and then make a recommendation. The meeting at 6 p.m. on Thursday will

01:04:42.175 --> 01:04:50.181
- also be public. It just will not be open to public comment. And at 7 p.m. that is the time that public

01:04:50.181 --> 01:04:57.954
- comment will start. That's right. For the Thursday meeting. That's right. Is it noon? That's right.

01:04:57.954 --> 01:05:04.094
- Yes. That's right. Yes. Thank you for that reminder. Thank you. Anything else?

01:05:04.642 --> 01:05:11.810
- We're going to call it adjourned. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for being here and thank you for everything

01:05:11.810 --> 01:05:13.374
- that we've done so far.
