WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.860
-  Okay, all right, let's go ahead and start

00:00:03.860 --> 00:00:08.760
-  Okay

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:13.220
-  Okay, so are we ready to roll yeah, you want me to take a roll call. Yeah, let's go do a roll call

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:15.740
-  All right, Commissioner Martin

00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:18.760
-  President

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.160
-  Mr. Cassidy present Commissioner Kiesling here. Commissioner McCarty here Commissioner Jones

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.640
-  We and Commissioner Tucker indicated to me he was not going to be able to make it tonight

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.800
-  So we have all five voting members of the Redevelopment Commission present at this meeting

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.080
-  outstanding

00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:43.120
-  Okay, please note who else is here like City Council and BDC. Oh, yes

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.760
-  County County Council County Council Councilman Fido was here

00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:56.040
-  Jen pro from the BDC is here and Ashley from the auditor's office as well as Lisa Ridge and myself

00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:57.720
-  Jeff Cockrell. Yeah

00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:04.800
-  I just find it easier if we put put people's names down for who is here so we can go back and talk

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:05.280
-  to them later

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.820
-  If we need to or want to all right

00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:12.520
-  That's okay. We have the professor and Marianne

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:17.760
-  Okay, all right, so we ready to

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.720
-  Move forward then

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.600
-  Should have received four different resolutions one for each of our

00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:29.360
-  tax increment finance districts

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:34.120
-  And they're also in the packet. I did prepare a kind of a quick presentation

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.840
-  To kind of just go through I did the

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:44.880
-  The question is whether there is any excess assessed value in any of these TIF districts

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:50.310
-  That pretty much means do we think we have too much funding coming in to cover what we're what's

00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:50.960
-  necessary

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.540
-  These are state required findings

00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:57.440
-  so we do this annually I

00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:00.480
-  guess in

00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.680
-  The history of this we've never found that there was excess assessed value

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.870
-  But I'm going to kind of go through a lot of this information is directly from our last meeting and

00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:11.880
-  our annual report

00:02:11.880 --> 00:02:15.320
-  so I don't think any of this will be earth-shattering, but I thought it would be great to have a

00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:21.400
-  Kind of a little presentation. Okay, Jeff, would you walk us through briefly the that definition of

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:22.600
-  excess value?

00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:29.430
-  Excess assessed value, so excess assessed assessed value assessed value as you right. I think

00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:30.460
-  everybody knows is

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:34.840
-  What we base tax bills on and your homes assessed value

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.640
-  And there is a tax rate associated with that and then that tax rate

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.620
-  multiplied the assessed value and I'm simplifying it because there's homestead credits and there's

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:45.760
-  all kinds of there's tax payments and they're all kind of

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:52.130
-  Things that can affect that but primarily that assessed value multiplied by your tax rate is your

00:02:52.130 --> 00:02:52.640
-  tax bill

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:59.080
-  And so the TIF districts as a whole have an assessed value where you add up all the assessed

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.480
-  Values of each individual parcel and that would be the TIF districts assessed value

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:09.720
-  mm-hmm, and then that gets calculated into a tax rate and then that is the

00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:15.130
-  Gets on the tax bills and when they're paid collected the TIF district gets the portion of it that

00:03:15.130 --> 00:03:16.340
-  belongs to the TIF district

00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:22.620
-  So then the excess yeah an excess assessed value would be if you find that hey that

00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:27.020
-  Revenue is more than we need to do our operations in our business

00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:32.000
-  so we're collecting more than we want and so instead of collecting it and having the

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.080
-  Redevelopment Commission and the TIF district kind of hold money

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.340
-  They don't need the state has a mechanism where the the redevelopment Commission say hey, we don't

00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:40.920
-  need this

00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:43.800
-  extra assessed value

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.800
-  please put it back and I think they they term it that way so that

00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.390
-  You know, you can't say we don't need the excess value and it just goes to the county or to a township

00:03:52.390 --> 00:03:52.960
-  or anything

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.960
-  It would get distributed as as a property tax for for that area would be

00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.480
-  Westside TIF district for instance is

00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.400
-  Mostly in Richland Township. So Richland so it would have all those different

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.440
-  tax rates associated with a piece of property in Richland Township and

00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:13.000
-  So it would get distributed that way

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:18.520
-  Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I just wanted to yeah good background

00:04:18.520 --> 00:04:23.000
-  But the excess is something that hard for me to get my head around even after a couple years

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.080
-  But thank you to be sure. Yes

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.360
-  Want me to get on a soapbox. I will tell you that in the next couple years after Senate bill one

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.180
-  I think there's going to be a lot of places in Indiana that are going to have to look at redeveloped

00:04:38.180 --> 00:04:39.320
-  commissions and this

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:42.520
-  Excess excess value question. Yes

00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:47.680
-  I think that I think I think this whole process is going to gain an importance in the next five

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.800
-  years that I don't think a

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:55.340
-  Lot of us ever thought it would I have never read a fiscal note on a bill so many times

00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:57.960
-  until this

00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:00.720
-  Thank you

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.440
-  So I'm gonna go through the resolution

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:06.560
-  2025 1 and it's can you go to the next page on?

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.000
-  20 is for the Westside TIF district

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.530
-  At the beginning of the year, we had a cash balance of three hundred and forty seven thousand three

00:05:15.530 --> 00:05:16.800
-  hundred and sixteen dollars

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.480
-  as you probably are where we've we've spent some of that in

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:26.720
-  the stem steam payment to the RVB schools and

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.860
-  I think I actually I think that one may be the one that the auditor picked up and we're going to

00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:33.640
-  have to correct

00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:39.960
-  After July 1 we have made a payment on one of the firetruck for Ellisville out of there

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:42.600
-  So that that number is reduced from that amount

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.240
-  as of today

00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.640
-  The recommended minimum cash balance in that fund is a million dollars. I think I think

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.680
-  everybody on the RDC except for maybe mr. Jones understands what we went through last year with the

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.320
-  vernal bike connector

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:06.650
-  Road and the the the grant funding and the need to pay the upfront amount for that grant funding

00:06:06.650 --> 00:06:07.920
-  that occurred last year

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:13.440
-  So this was kind of an anticipated low point for the for the Redevelopment Commission

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:19.620
-  And we believe by the end of this year. We should be back close to that million dollar figure for

00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:20.840
-  our minimum cash balance

00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:23.080
-  so

00:06:23.080 --> 00:06:28.600
-  When we talk to the financial solutions group they get they're the ones the financial advisors who

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.040
-  do our presentation of our annual reports

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.820
-  They advised a recommended and recommended a finding of no excess SS value

00:06:36.820 --> 00:06:40.880
-  Misspelled assessed on this I

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:44.120
-  Apologize

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:48.920
-  So let's go on to the next page and you'll see that error throughout this presentation

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.800
-  And and this is just kind of the budget that we approved with the west side TIF district

00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:01.440
-  This one's a little bit more complicated than than the rest of the the TIF district

00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:05.680
-  So I just wanted to show you kind of what we expect our expenditures over the next five years

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.100
-  You'll see we have kind of reoccurring payments to

00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:16.640
-  Richland being blossom school for the stem project of two hundred and seventy thousand a year

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.000
-  The else of a fire truck of just under five hundred thousand a year and then we've got some

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:28.100
-  Curry Pike reconstruction and some other projects thrown in there, but kind of those are the two

00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:32.960
-  Kind of reoccurring one. The rest of them are a project by project and they will come and go

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:35.880
-  on an annual basis

00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:42.290
-  Well, I guess you want to take questions by district or you want me to just go through them all and

00:07:42.290 --> 00:07:43.560
-  then ask questions at the end

00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:50.200
-  Some well, let's go through it by district instead of going all the way back

00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:55.720
-  After we're done. So let's so if anybody has any questions regarding this one

00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.720
-  When we're looking at our overall fiscal amount for the Westside TIF

00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:04.200
-  We want to get up to a million dollars based upon where we are as far as our fiscal

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:09.280
-  Plan through 2029. Will we be able to hit that based on what we see from?

00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:13.360
-  Excess value

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:17.120
-  To maintain that I think we'll be in good shape until

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:24.030
-  2028 and in 2028 we get about three and a half million dollars in projects that TIF district

00:08:24.030 --> 00:08:24.800
-  generally

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.680
-  Collects about two million a year. So for this year, you know, we're low but we only have about a

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:31.760
-  million in expenditure

00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:35.200
-  So we expect to be up to a million at the at the end of this year

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:40.800
-  The next two years it looks like we'll probably grow that fund by about five hundred thousand a

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:41.040
-  year

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:47.640
-  So but then in 28 we have three and a half million dollars projects not doing the math off the top

00:08:47.640 --> 00:08:48.280
-  of my head

00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:51.760
-  I think that comes to real close to getting us back down to that million dollar figure

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:54.400
-  but

00:08:54.400 --> 00:08:56.400
-  Should be able to maintain that

00:08:56.400 --> 00:09:02.010
-  That a situation as we look from project to project that we have to look based on SB 1 and where we

00:09:02.010 --> 00:09:03.080
-  look fiscally in

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.080
-  The next few years that we have to potentially

00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:10.620
-  Trim the projects that we have on big or will that be something will be be able to be determined

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:11.820
-  based on what our fiscal

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:17.240
-  Well, I think there's two things as a factor in here and when we get to the Curry Pike

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:23.060
-  District one of the things where we've discussed and discussed at the last meeting is maybe adding

00:09:23.060 --> 00:09:24.460
-  some of the Curry Pike

00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:28.020
-  Reconstruction project to that TIF district

00:09:28.020 --> 00:09:34.300
-  That isn't generating a lot of revenue at this point. Maybe in a couple years it might be

00:09:34.300 --> 00:09:41.140
-  But that would be one option and I think the other option is that you know for the

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:44.220
-  Kind of other than number three and number four on this list

00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:50.820
-  I mean that those projects aren't set in stone as there's no federal grant funding that that is

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:54.700
-  Dictating that schedule that schedules more dictated by what?

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:57.700
-  revenues to do and I think

00:09:57.700 --> 00:10:03.390
-  Lisa always is good at finding one extra revenue and two she's got a couple other funds that if we

00:10:03.390 --> 00:10:04.020
-  get close

00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:06.620
-  could help support these projects and

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:12.100
-  Based on where we're setting out on this fund of the prairie prairie reconstruction on a three-year

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:12.980
-  basis that

00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:19.060
-  Fulfills the needs of the community and the schedule for the highway to be complete in the time

00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:19.540
-  frames

00:10:19.540 --> 00:10:24.540
-  That'll get us on a cycle where we're not basically the roads degrading to a point

00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:32.380
-  Now then making it happen over the next three years keeps it in the shape that it's

00:10:32.380 --> 00:10:35.460
-  Doesn't get to a point that it's devastated

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.220
-  And that's what we're trying to stay ahead of it

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:43.360
-  Kind of stay ahead of the game one. We'll probably start doing a little bit of engineering

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.180
-  I had budgeted I believe two hundred thousand in the budget already in 2025

00:10:47.180 --> 00:10:51.860
-  Start to do just a little bit to make sure that we reconstruct it correctly

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:56.260
-  We got a lot of stormwater infrastructure there in that first section

00:10:56.260 --> 00:11:02.420
-  We should have the plans and everything when we built curry pike, I think it was we did I was

00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:03.300
-  looking at old files

00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:06.500
-  I think we did the groundbreaking 90 or 92

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:09.540
-  first phase of curry pike

00:11:09.540 --> 00:11:15.280
-  so it's it it's at the end of its lifecycle for the amount of traffic that it takes and

00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:20.020
-  You know, there's inflation out there that's hit a lot of the project

00:11:20.020 --> 00:11:25.580
-  So we did this as current as we could on the cost of what our projects are costing right now

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:31.020
-  So and if we have to break it down into another segment to help make the need we can do that

00:11:31.020 --> 00:11:35.180
-  We're just trying to cautiously move forward so we can get the TIF back into

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:38.020
-  Where it needs to be with the million-dollar balance

00:11:38.020 --> 00:11:43.060
-  Leading up to this year this past year. We knew we were going to be close

00:11:43.060 --> 00:11:49.060
-  I think we kind of almost took the gamble of not bonding because we really didn't want to

00:11:49.060 --> 00:11:54.100
-  And then we had my local road and street budget to kind of back it up and it has a little bit

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:59.260
-  I think there's some that'll come back to it after we get distribution and make the corrections. I

00:11:59.260 --> 00:12:00.060
-  think there was

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:07.020
-  a bond payment or something that was supposed to be paid out of the bonds and they were paid out of

00:12:07.020 --> 00:12:08.300
-  the West type TIF and

00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:10.860
-  So those adjustments will come this year

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:13.140
-  but I

00:12:13.140 --> 00:12:15.060
-  Think you'll get back to your

00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:16.860
-  Your million to where you need to be

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:21.700
-  Back to me where we are and still have the funding and the time frame in in order to get our public

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:22.300
-  infrastructure

00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:26.250
-  All right, and we're not sure what will happen with Depmer, you know the trail we would love to

00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:26.860
-  finish that

00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:33.140
-  In 2016 that little piece was estimated at five hundred thousand as you can see it's now at a

00:12:33.140 --> 00:12:34.700
-  construction of 1.8

00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:37.820
-  so that's just

00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:40.980
-  We just don't have the funding at this time to really

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:46.500
-  Set aside for that. So thank you. Appreciate it. Richard. Did you have anything?

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:55.540
-  Yes, are we going to have any more expenses this year for the the bridge project over the railroad

00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:59.060
-  Whereas all that been now paid prepaid, etc

00:12:59.060 --> 00:13:07.320
-  So as of right now the deck was poured this week. So we are still looking at mid-august completion.

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:07.380
-  I

00:13:07.380 --> 00:13:10.380
-  Do not have any outstanding change orders

00:13:10.380 --> 00:13:14.800
-  We paid our construction match when it started

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:17.940
-  We have paid anything that's not

00:13:17.940 --> 00:13:23.890
-  Provided by the grant. We've paid that either out of what was appropriated already in the West Side

00:13:23.890 --> 00:13:24.540
-  Tiff or

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:28.460
-  Again, we've used a little bit of local road and street money

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:32.820
-  So at this time I do not have any

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:37.260
-  Extra expense on that product. What about inspection?

00:13:37.260 --> 00:13:40.380
-  construction inspection we're still

00:13:40.380 --> 00:13:44.860
-  Under we're still within our budget on that within the contract

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:49.060
-  Let me think that one got

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:55.380
-  That one the construction inspection on that is not

00:13:55.380 --> 00:14:00.060
-  reimbursed, I don't think that was covered by a grant, but we appropriated but

00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:03.660
-  We said

00:14:03.660 --> 00:14:08.890
-  Indicated we were going to have to pay that okay. That's what I'm thinking because I have Fullerton

00:14:08.890 --> 00:14:10.240
-  Pike going on at the same time

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.140
-  but we

00:14:12.140 --> 00:14:14.140
-  appropriated enough for

00:14:14.140 --> 00:14:19.180
-  That line to be paying for construction inspection services out of the West Side Tiff that was

00:14:19.180 --> 00:14:20.520
-  already appropriated

00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:22.800
-  Okay

00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:27.120
-  Okay, thank you a

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.600
-  Quick question on

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.720
-  The trail and curry pike are those included in the let's say the transportation improvement plan?

00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.040
-  Or is that when you look ahead is that something that's already on the future project?

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:48.560
-  So curry is that part of they are not in they're not in the tip. Is that what you're asking? Yeah

00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:52.880
-  Yeah, no the the projects that we put in the tip

00:14:52.880 --> 00:15:00.560
-  run through the MPO and then they get later put into the step when it's federally funded so then

00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:01.760
-  that so you're at the

00:15:01.760 --> 00:15:05.940
-  Lower level of the say the local transportation improvement program

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:11.380
-  Any of those run through our MPO? Okay, anything outside of that would run

00:15:11.380 --> 00:15:17.840
-  If it's not within the NPO just go straight into the step if it's federally funded

00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:23.560
-  And that but that's true of all tiff district

00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:30.230
-  Road improvement or street only if you're dealing with federal funds is it going to go into a tip?

00:15:30.230 --> 00:15:31.840
-  Okay, or the step?

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.840
-  anything that's

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.930
-  Locally funded we have a couple bridge projects that we don't have federal funds for it does not go

00:15:39.930 --> 00:15:40.520
-  into any

00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:43.760
-  tip or any step, okay

00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:49.140
-  Thank you. That helps. Okay. Any other questions on the West Side?

00:15:49.140 --> 00:15:54.040
-  We're gonna deal with these one at a time you want a motion for each one then

00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:56.320
-  Jeff I

00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.350
-  Think you could do a motion after each one if that's how we're going to do the discussion that

00:16:00.350 --> 00:16:01.240
-  would make the most sense

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:06.800
-  So like to entertain a motion then for approval the West Side tips

00:16:06.800 --> 00:16:10.680
-  Make a motion that we prove resolution number

00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:13.600
-  20 to 25 - oh one

00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:15.880
-  I

00:16:15.880 --> 00:16:17.880
-  Second and most has been cited

00:16:17.880 --> 00:16:21.800
-  This cock will call rule. Mr. Martin

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:24.480
-  Yes

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.480
-  Commissioner Cassidy. Yes

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.920
-  Commissioner Kiesling. Yes, Mr. McCarty. Yes, Commissioner Jones

00:16:30.920 --> 00:16:35.760
-  Motion is approved five to zero. All right State Road 46

00:16:35.760 --> 00:16:41.920
-  State Road 46

00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:47.920
-  This is the one where we are currently have a bond outstanding was issued in 2021

00:16:47.920 --> 00:16:56.140
-  For the connection from State Road six or 46 to Arlington Drive based over the Hunter Valley. I

00:16:56.140 --> 00:17:02.120
-  Guess the gravel honey Hunter Valley Road was going to be there's going to be a bridge there and

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:02.460
-  then that

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:04.600
-  gravel part was going to be converted into

00:17:04.600 --> 00:17:10.320
-  basically the same style of road that goes up to that to Stout's Creek and so

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.820
-  That bond has not been really utilized yet

00:17:14.820 --> 00:17:20.170
-  Although I will tell you today in my staff comment that I just got something this afternoon where

00:17:20.170 --> 00:17:21.880
-  they're starting to ask for

00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:27.640
-  reimbursements for funding that we'll look at at the next meeting but it's anticipated that that

00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.120
-  roadway will hopefully be either complete

00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:33.320
-  hopefully be completed this year depending on the

00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:37.320
-  Nomar

00:17:37.800 --> 00:17:41.680
-  Lomar, excuse me Lomar. They that sometimes the acronym is get too much

00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:47.040
-  But that is an estimated to be a four and a half million dollar road project

00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:53.290
-  The cash flow based upon the current assessed values in that TIF district will not cover a hundred

00:17:53.290 --> 00:17:55.280
-  percent of that at this point

00:17:55.280 --> 00:17:58.600
-  It's anticipated or it's hoped that something

00:17:58.600 --> 00:18:03.600
-  Some of a business or two will move into that area and then that will give us adequate revenue to

00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:06.040
-  cover those debt payments

00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.980
-  With the with the caveat that if they're not covered, then they're the developers responsibility to

00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:13.520
-  pay back. It doesn't go to any kind of

00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:16.720
-  property act back backed

00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.840
-  financing

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:25.800
-  And again the financial solutions group advised that there was no excess assessed value at the last

00:18:25.800 --> 00:18:26.400
-  meeting

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:37.340
-  Any any questions on just a bit just to verify from the general public in regards to it

00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:41.270
-  It's a four and a half million dollar project. There's been four and a half million dollars worth

00:18:41.270 --> 00:18:43.660
-  of bonds that have been drawn on it and it's

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:48.120
-  Yeah, it's four and a half million dollars of bonding funder available to them

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:53.520
-  They do not draw on those bonds until they've done some work and paid some bills

00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:56.640
-  As soon as that starts getting drawn down

00:18:57.320 --> 00:19:02.400
-  That's projected that there won't be enough revenue to cover that construction cost

00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:09.140
-  There won't be enough revenue to cover the repayment of those bonds without additional

00:19:09.140 --> 00:19:16.530
-  Assessed value being added to that which this road project is expected to to add that to add the

00:19:16.530 --> 00:19:17.320
-  additional

00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:20.000
-  development that will create excess

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:27.320
-  Revenue into the bond but the county as a whole and the taxpayers don't have any liability for

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:28.420
-  additional repayment

00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:33.100
-  Correct. The the only thing that's pledged to that is the revenues from this district

00:19:33.100 --> 00:19:38.500
-  That's this district develops. It will get more but a significant portion of the district has been

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.820
-  taken out and will now be into non-taxable

00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:44.160
-  Area, okay

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.740
-  Jeff this resolution is what number I don't have it

00:19:48.760 --> 00:19:52.000
-  502 oh - okay should be in the packet behind

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.640
-  I know I see it but it is

00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:58.080
-  Mixed up already. I

00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:02.160
-  Got it run front of me now and in looking at

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.840
-  At those revenues future revenues

00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:09.280
-  This is where the

00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:11.480
-  the complexity comes in

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.480
-  Because there's going to be a county government center

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.240
-  located within that district

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.360
-  And I think to you know kind of latch on to Randy's point

00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:26.160
-  Then how

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:33.620
-  It's probably a crystal ball, but but how do we have a sense of how this is going to impact that

00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:41.620
-  That payment of that bond if a considerable amount of assessed value which

00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:46.640
-  You know, the value is grown exponentially once the deal is closed

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.320
-  You

00:20:49.320 --> 00:20:54.680
-  Know, how do we cover that? I guess that's the or is it something we need to worry about

00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:59.120
-  Why I guess I guess I don't want to tell you not to worry

00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:04.760
-  I mean, it's good to talk about worry is kind of

00:21:04.760 --> 00:21:08.960
-  in my mind a little misplaced of a word because

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.200
-  It doesn't it's not going to cost

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:16.280
-  The Redevelopment Commission any more than they receive in revenue

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:21.040
-  It's not going to cost taxpayers outside that district any more than

00:21:21.040 --> 00:21:25.440
-  Other than what the Redevelopment Commission collects in the increment

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:31.280
-  The developer is also the property owner who who is selling the property

00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:35.120
-  and then and finally, I think

00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:38.240
-  Right now there is no

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.920
-  Improvements on the property and there haven't been any improvements on the property since this

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:44.200
-  district was founded in

00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:51.720
-  2006 ish, so it's it's been out a while and it hadn't grown naturally so

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:59.460
-  This district if my memory is correct ends around 2030. Mm-hmm. And so it's you know

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:02.040
-  It's really time to get something

00:22:02.040 --> 00:22:06.840
-  Going there now. Now there is you mean it's not

00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:13.400
-  Incorrect to say that the the county's use of that property for a tax-exempt purpose

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:20.750
-  Takes that property out of the pool of properties that would be available to have developed and

00:22:20.750 --> 00:22:22.200
-  increased the increment

00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:28.820
-  That's not an incorrect thing to say either. Yeah. Yeah, and I think that's the concern. Yeah

00:22:28.820 --> 00:22:37.170
-  Or me the last question I doubt if we have that particular is based upon the total acreage that we

00:22:37.170 --> 00:22:38.920
-  have and we're looking at increased

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:44.870
-  Assessed value by bringing businesses in or anything that has a taxable base that can be paid after

00:22:44.870 --> 00:22:47.200
-  we take out the government

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:52.940
-  Center and the correctional facility how many acres is actually left over that will have you know

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:58.080
-  Approximately four years before this to district sunsets that could potentially

00:22:58.080 --> 00:23:00.120
-  increase

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:02.120
-  tax base I

00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:05.560
-  Do not know that answer off the top of my head I

00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:13.270
-  would guess that if you're including the area the county bought for the quarry park, which in my

00:23:13.270 --> 00:23:14.080
-  mind is

00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:20.400
-  Not really developable. Maybe you could argue 2020 25 acres of it is though

00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:23.400
-  because it doesn't

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.640
-  It's got to do with

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:33.240
-  environmental constraints and things so we're taking approximately 53 acres out for the

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:36.680
-  justice complex

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:40.760
-  My guess is that there's that that total

00:23:40.760 --> 00:23:43.280
-  area was

00:23:43.280 --> 00:23:48.960
-  Probably close to 200 acres. I again. I don't know this off the top. I off top my head

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.560
-  I it looks to me what that 53 is is probably

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:56.900
-  At most a quarter of what would be remaining after that

00:23:56.900 --> 00:24:03.040
-  Now what I said about the quarry park and how some of it's not developed because of environmental

00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:08.150
-  There's other areas of that TIF district that aren't really developed because of how the land is,

00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:08.720
-  you know

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.040
-  There's there's some of that. I mean, so it's not like

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:17.280
-  That 25 percent is 25 percent of all the developmental land, but that would be of the area and

00:24:17.280 --> 00:24:22.380
-  That that kind of math as to what's develop or will not is one of the reasons

00:24:22.380 --> 00:24:24.380
-  I'm not working with the Plan Commission

00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:28.920
-  Because they have those kind of answers and they're just that I just don't know it

00:24:29.080 --> 00:24:33.800
-  That's fine. My main objective in regards to asking the question is the total overall acreage

00:24:33.800 --> 00:24:39.880
-  We approximately based on this being 2026. We sunset in 2030 over here is literally if we're

00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:41.400
-  looking for anything in an increased value

00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:48.000
-  That would go towards this TIF that then also helps pay for anything that difference a

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.320
-  Infrastructure standpoint. We only have four years to get it done

00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:58.680
-  Otherwise we lose our increment and then if we bond it it will sunset in 2030

00:24:58.800 --> 00:25:00.800
-  is that a correct statement I

00:25:00.800 --> 00:25:08.160
-  And I can't remember. It's 2030 or 2031 or 2032. It's somewhere in that area and I think

00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:16.060
-  the other interesting is this is also the area we looked at for residential TIF and so, you know

00:25:16.060 --> 00:25:20.760
-  The non development of that area

00:25:20.760 --> 00:25:23.440
-  Because when you when you tip something

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:29.200
-  You take the assessed value as it is the second you you put that in a TIF district

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:35.780
-  so if you were going to do a residential TIF it not having any buildings on it is

00:25:35.780 --> 00:25:38.120
-  kind of

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:42.120
-  You either want it not to have anything on it or what's on it to be really?

00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:51.180
-  Needing of redevelopment, right? So, you know, so that option is still open. I don't know. I'm not

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:52.080
-  bond council

00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:56.600
-  I'm not financial advisor. I don't know how that would interplay with the the current debt and

00:25:56.600 --> 00:25:58.500
-  whether there was something you could do

00:25:58.500 --> 00:26:04.620
-  To kind of help with that or not. I just I just I'm guessing there is but I'm not sure what it

00:26:04.620 --> 00:26:05.160
-  would be

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:07.360
-  That's fine. I just looking at the time frame

00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:11.800
-  We actually have to deal with if we're looking to capture any increment to take care of any public

00:26:11.800 --> 00:26:12.560
-  facilities

00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:17.720
-  And that window is shrinking in such a time frame that where we had talked previously about a

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.200
-  residential TIF may not be the ability

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:26.670
-  To actually do it do anything on that if we may sunset our TIF and then you know, we have what we

00:26:26.670 --> 00:26:26.920
-  have

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.880
-  Go back to the other taxing entities when something gets built

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.000
-  Okay

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:40.360
-  Didn't I appreciate that. I hope my answer was clear. You did. Thank you

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:47.960
-  Yes, any any other questions comments on that in the state road 46

00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.480
-  Did we get a motion on that one? We do not have a motion. I'll entertain a motion

00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.480
-  second

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.480
-  Go ahead here

00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:03.120
-  Okay, okay, I thought Richard was saying something else

00:27:03.120 --> 00:27:09.740
-  Did Richard say yes, yeah Richard did you make the motion

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:16.070
-  Yes, okay. I thought you had and then I seconded I seconded and then I thought I said something

00:27:16.070 --> 00:27:17.400
-  else. Okay, so

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:19.200
-  Mr. Cockrell

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.200
-  Commissioner Martin

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.560
-  Yes

00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:29.320
-  Commissioner Cassidy. Yes, Commissioner Keesley. Yes, Commissioner McCarty. Yes, Commissioner Jones.

00:27:29.320 --> 00:27:31.400
-  Yes motion is approved five to zero

00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:35.600
-  Resolution on the Fullerton Pike tiff

00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:41.120
-  Fullerton Pike tiff

00:27:41.120 --> 00:27:43.720
-  This is we we

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:49.740
-  We engaged in a bonding for this tiff district this that bonding included two different funding

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.160
-  sources

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:56.460
-  One is this tiff district. The other is the major bridge fund as part of the redevelopment's

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:57.340
-  commitment. They

00:27:57.340 --> 00:28:03.720
-  Indicated that they were whole going to hold at least 50% of the revenues to pay towards that

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.800
-  bonding I think it was

00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:11.590
-  Anticipated that the majority of the major bridge was going to have to deal with the majority of

00:28:11.590 --> 00:28:12.320
-  that anyway

00:28:13.080 --> 00:28:18.800
-  Just because of the revenues in this again, the Fullerton Pike tiff has one primary

00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:24.640
-  Taxpayer and that's the hospital and ever since its inception

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:30.400
-  The concern has always be has been whether that hospital would go to a tax-exempt entity and if

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.160
-  that did that would really

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.540
-  Negatively affect the revenues in that tiff district

00:28:36.540 --> 00:28:39.640
-  so given that

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:47.880
-  You have the recommendation from the financial advisor that there is no excess SS value, I guess

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:49.700
-  you have questions

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:54.360
-  Richard

00:28:54.360 --> 00:29:02.280
-  Does Richard have a question on Fullerton? Yes, we have committed 50% to the

00:29:02.280 --> 00:29:06.640
-  Fullerton Pike project

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:12.240
-  We have not committed anything else at this time for the other 50 percent. Is that correct?

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.240
-  That's correct

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.880
-  Okay, and

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:25.880
-  So I guess Lisa have you got anything in the works in that area in the next few years

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.000
-  No, I do not

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:39.040
-  Okay, so our options are to use the other 50% we can pick it into the bridge project as well

00:29:39.040 --> 00:29:41.040
-  the full and Pike project if we need to

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:43.960
-  But it's we are at the point where

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:47.000
-  the the accumulating excess

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:53.440
-  That would not be used on that bridge project may in fact be excess funds. I

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:58.880
-  Can spend because we don't have a product and find a way to spend it. That's not a problem

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:12.960
-  Yeah, I I have projects that definitely could be done you could do

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:17.080
-  Reconstruction on quite a bit of roadways that are within these TIF districts

00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:23.760
-  You know, there's other bridge projects and such and in that area. So I

00:30:23.760 --> 00:30:28.000
-  Would just add to what Lisa's saying that

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:30.840
-  Patient

00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:36.730
-  Has kind of affected bridges and I can't I don't remember if they went so far with the major bridge

00:30:36.730 --> 00:30:37.320
-  fund as

00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:44.100
-  What we were hoping for so there was conversation this year about opening up the major bridge fund

00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:45.160
-  to be able to fund

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.000
-  some of the more traditional kuhn bridge projects and

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:53.280
-  So I think you know long term if they do that

00:30:53.280 --> 00:30:56.480
-  You know while we've only pledged fifty percent

00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:01.560
-  there's nothing that says you can't pay a higher dollar amount than fifty percent for that and if

00:31:01.560 --> 00:31:02.160
-  we could

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:08.160
-  If that would free up a little even a little bit of funding for other bridge projects. I think that

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.020
-  would be something that

00:31:09.020 --> 00:31:13.920
-  We probably make that request if that were to occur

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.880
-  Yeah, absolutely

00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:19.320
-  You'd have to have somebody to support the bill

00:31:19.320 --> 00:31:25.840
-  I do know Allen County is the only county that has been successful and opening up their major

00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:26.520
-  bridge fund

00:31:26.520 --> 00:31:28.240
-  To be able to do fun

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:33.800
-  So if you have a major bridge fund, you can only use the funds for a bridge over 200 feet in length

00:31:33.800 --> 00:31:40.300
-  After Fullerton Pikes built we should probably have nine bridges that fit to that. We have some

00:31:40.300 --> 00:31:42.160
-  under design that will probably fit that

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:48.520
-  But Allen County was able to go through legislative and put in the Indiana code under the major

00:31:48.520 --> 00:31:50.360
-  bridge fund that they can use it for any

00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:52.040
-  size bridge

00:31:52.040 --> 00:31:58.680
-  But the but the cost of inflation of what these bridges are costing now the maintenance of them

00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:03.160
-  It would be a tremendous help to Monroe County if we could

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.980
-  Try and figure out I'm not a political

00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:12.000
-  Legislative person. I don't know how to get a bill started. I don't know how you word it

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.320
-  I don't know how you create it. I don't even know where you begin

00:32:14.320 --> 00:32:19.800
-  But it would be a huge benefit to Monroe County if we could get that

00:32:20.560 --> 00:32:26.760
-  in our direction, I think they're still unknown because in Senate bill one our

00:32:26.760 --> 00:32:31.720
-  Cune bridge and major bridge fund is part of that

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:34.880
-  property tax levy

00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.500
-  So I don't know how the funding is what is going to move forward for Cune bridge or major bridge

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:40.040
-  fund either

00:32:40.040 --> 00:32:42.640
-  I don't know how they're going to be affected

00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:47.040
-  So you say we ought to wait to see what the General Assembly does to us

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:51.440
-  I think the Senate bill one is already done

00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:56.240
-  That's but I don't know how that works at your local level how it's distributed

00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:00.640
-  I know they have different rates on the Cune bridge and the major bridge

00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:07.410
-  Oh, yeah, I was in the frozen levy one's not that's really out of my normal day-to-day work. So I

00:33:07.410 --> 00:33:08.140
-  don't know

00:33:08.140 --> 00:33:11.160
-  How that funding is going to be affected?

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:14.820
-  I think we all know that the Senate bill is going to affect up

00:33:14.820 --> 00:33:17.440
-  We all know that the Senate bill is going to affect our funding

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:23.140
-  Yeah, and we all know that and so I think I think in my mind

00:33:23.140 --> 00:33:28.180
-  Along with that there was language that

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:35.940
-  requires counties to do all the bridges in the county except for a very limited number of

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:42.020
-  Items mostly if the county wasn't involved in design and hadn't accepted it

00:33:42.020 --> 00:33:46.440
-  Which we had always done because we have a Cune bridge fund

00:33:46.840 --> 00:33:48.240
-  but

00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.640
-  they've clarified a lot of things in there and so I'm

00:33:51.640 --> 00:34:00.360
-  So if you wanted to read a house bill 1461 that so

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:06.000
-  It's always been understanding that a county no matter if it's in within the city

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.880
-  If you have a Cune bridge that you maintain the bridges

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:13.520
-  It was always known that the bridge definition included that it was over a 20-foot span

00:34:13.520 --> 00:34:16.920
-  Okay, so over the last year or two, there's been some

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:26.280
-  Cities or towns to challenge that Indiana code because in that specific area it did not say

00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.520
-  20-foot span so

00:34:28.520 --> 00:34:35.590
-  Some of the entities were coming back saying to the counties you are responsible for everything and

00:34:35.590 --> 00:34:36.580
-  within our

00:34:36.580 --> 00:34:42.120
-  Municipality including small culverts. Well, that's a huge impact on county. That's right

00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.760
-  So they did get house bill

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:50.670
-  1461 with that new language that Jeff's talking about that now it does specifically say that it has

00:34:50.670 --> 00:34:52.060
-  to be over a 20-foot span

00:34:52.060 --> 00:34:55.160
-  for it to be

00:34:55.160 --> 00:35:00.800
-  Maintained by the county. We did go to the state house and speak about

00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:09.140
-  Including that a county has to be involved in the in the design of that bridge for them to maintain

00:35:09.140 --> 00:35:09.320
-  it

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.670
-  They did put that language in force. Otherwise, you know, you don't know what you're accepting out

00:35:14.670 --> 00:35:15.080
-  there

00:35:15.080 --> 00:35:17.000
-  so we

00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:19.000
-  We did work hard on

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.760
-  House bill 1461

00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:27.980
-  For more clarification just not sure how the funding will move forward in that

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:32.300
-  Do we have somebody in the county who's following that aside from you?

00:35:32.300 --> 00:35:35.740
-  Well, we we have been we

00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:42.940
-  We kind of got into the major bridge discussion probably more later than we could have we were very

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:44.220
-  involved with I aches

00:35:44.220 --> 00:35:46.440
-  our

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:50.950
-  County highway engineers and supervisor group. We had legislative meetings probably every other

00:35:50.950 --> 00:35:52.560
-  week. We were

00:35:52.560 --> 00:35:56.440
-  We had our representative from a IC Brian Hoff

00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.400
-  going there

00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:04.360
-  House bill 1461 could have you know come out a lot worse, but I think we

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:11.210
-  Got some got some clarification in there that really helped counties not have to take over all the

00:36:11.210 --> 00:36:12.420
-  infrastructure

00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:18.540
-  Because it was leading also to I think it was Johnson County eliminated their kuhn bridge fund,

00:36:18.540 --> 00:36:19.200
-  right?

00:36:19.200 --> 00:36:23.360
-  So there's other counties that was starting to head that direction

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:28.220
-  So that kind of puts fear into taking care of infrastructure in your bridges if everyone was going

00:36:28.220 --> 00:36:30.280
-  to start eliminating kuhn bridge funds

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:32.320
-  so that's why they

00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:38.080
-  Really kind of put that more the clarification for the definition of a bridge in the house bill. So

00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:43.400
-  Local entities couldn't come back and tell the county and basically that they were in charge of

00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:51.580
-  Clarification good clarification. Yes whose responsibilities from a

00:36:51.580 --> 00:36:56.760
-  Loophole that was there and they closed and they were they were closing that loophole. So

00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:05.200
-  For clarification on regards to it if we were to help to enact some

00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:09.510
-  Legislation similar to Allen County in order to move things through. So Monroe County while we are

00:37:09.510 --> 00:37:10.080
-  number one

00:37:10.080 --> 00:37:12.520
-  Who and getting this?

00:37:12.520 --> 00:37:15.840
-  What would that do for the county in?

00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:20.560
-  Maintaining and repairing or replacing it would be huge

00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:27.160
-  Okay, it brings in twice the money that kuhn bridge at this point in time kuhn bridge brings in

00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.280
-  I

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.800
-  Mean

00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:35.960
-  Major bridge fund brings in probably three million

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:40.040
-  My staff that is

00:37:40.040 --> 00:37:45.290
-  Bridge crew, they're all paid their benefits are all paid out of kuhn bridge, which is probably

00:37:45.290 --> 00:37:46.440
-  over half the budget

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:51.880
-  But I can't use major bridge fund for any any of that

00:37:53.080 --> 00:37:58.080
-  Opening that up you you could fund more bridges you could you know

00:37:58.080 --> 00:38:00.720
-  for an example

00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:06.810
-  That road bridge it's been under design. We were going to do it all locally for construction design

00:38:06.810 --> 00:38:07.920
-  right of way

00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:12.690
-  When we started out it was going to be at a cost of approximately seven hundred thousand dollars

00:38:12.690 --> 00:38:14.120
-  for construction. We felt like

00:38:14.120 --> 00:38:19.440
-  Given the time we could do that all locally now. We're at the time for construction. It's 1.8

00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:21.560
-  million. We can't afford to do that

00:38:21.560 --> 00:38:28.480
-  So actually I put it into a NOFA call with NDOT and it was actually awarded for construction in 2029

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:34.000
-  But we will be shovel ready because we paid for design and right away locally at a hundred percent

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:39.640
-  So if we can move it up we will because we contributed that much locally

00:38:39.640 --> 00:38:44.080
-  But it's just those kind of instances if we had major bridge fund to use

00:38:44.080 --> 00:38:47.080
-  Then maybe we we could have probably done it all locally

00:38:47.080 --> 00:38:51.920
-  Is this a situation where when we're looking at like Fullerton Pike and are having like 50% of

00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.100
-  assessed value

00:38:53.100 --> 00:38:57.520
-  Would that be something that we get actually as a redevelopment Commission utilize in?

00:38:57.520 --> 00:39:04.920
-  hiring someone to help go through that legislative process in order to because I know from a staff

00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:05.680
-  standpoint with

00:39:05.680 --> 00:39:12.400
-  County and such time and other items it can fall to the wayside because you guys are over

00:39:12.600 --> 00:39:17.920
-  Overworked and I did I did a lot of I did a lot of digging on how Allen County

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.640
-  Succeeded in that they sent me a lot of the

00:39:22.640 --> 00:39:27.920
-  Descriptions on how they succeeded that I don't know if we fit any of those

00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:32.260
-  I think you could probably come up with some of those matching ideas

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:35.320
-  but again, I did I I

00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:41.040
-  Was given all the steps on what how they used the factors to be able to do that

00:39:41.560 --> 00:39:45.160
-  so from from a fiscal standpoint, this is something we'd want to ask fs

00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:51.480
-  Fsg if that money could be utilized in that to try to move forward that so it opened up like that

00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.740
-  consulting consulting a consulting service

00:39:53.740 --> 00:39:55.740
-  In order to try to help

00:39:55.740 --> 00:40:01.120
-  Open that up so that we can take care of our existing bridges need replaced our maintenance

00:40:01.120 --> 00:40:07.000
-  And then I know at some point with everything that went through 69 there'll be items that will fall

00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:08.880
-  into the county's

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:11.840
-  Responsibility. Yeah, that's the problem with that

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.580
-  You know having the funding to maintain the things even after they're built

00:40:16.580 --> 00:40:21.800
-  So is that are you asking if you guys can get a lobbyist is that a?

00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:30.070
-  Consultant I well the county has a lobbyist and I they would work with Lisa in kind of helping

00:40:30.070 --> 00:40:30.760
-  present

00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:38.320
-  Kind of the issues with House Bill 1461 and this was part of that. I guess the

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:44.880
-  the value I think that could be added is if they when they do something next year, maybe have a

00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:52.680
-  Redevelopment Commission member come in and talk to the legislature and produce testimony about hey

00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:58.540
-  These are the struggles we're seeing with our funding and we want to help these things

00:40:58.540 --> 00:41:02.520
-  You know, I think that's kind of the level of support. I think that we're

00:41:03.240 --> 00:41:08.190
-  we have we have it through Lisa and we have it through a few others, but the the louder or the

00:41:08.190 --> 00:41:09.680
-  bigger the voice may be

00:41:09.680 --> 00:41:14.720
-  More helpful as opposed to hiring another lobbyist to do work. That's already been done

00:41:14.720 --> 00:41:18.520
-  Yeah, I was unaware that we had a lobbyist for the county specifically

00:41:18.520 --> 00:41:25.400
-  So Lisa has a IC and their other affiliates been helpful at all. Yeah, they're they're great

00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:28.100
-  We we worked hard on 1461

00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:34.450
-  Major bridge was kind of not every county has made a bridge fund. So it wasn't really a hot topic

00:41:34.450 --> 00:41:35.240
-  for a lot and

00:41:35.240 --> 00:41:37.640
-  There's so much thrown into

00:41:37.640 --> 00:41:44.320
-  House bill and a lot of this is so over my head. I don't get involved in it, but

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:48.560
-  House bill 1461 has a lot built into it. Actually

00:41:48.560 --> 00:41:53.640
-  they've even thrown in about township roads and township budgets and

00:41:53.640 --> 00:41:57.520
-  Using part of their funds to

00:41:58.120 --> 00:42:00.840
-  Maintain roads within their township. I

00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.080
-  I find that interesting. I don't even know what a township brings in

00:42:06.080 --> 00:42:12.180
-  But I actually I think it's Benton Township trustee, maybe Benton Michelle bright

00:42:12.180 --> 00:42:15.920
-  Touch base with me last week because she's aware that it's out there now

00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:18.920
-  It's quite a bit of road to worry to worry about

00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:25.160
-  But I told her it's a hundred thousand at a hundred and ten thousand dollars

00:42:26.200 --> 00:42:31.840
-  Average estimate to pave one mile of road. I don't think they bring in those kind of funds. No

00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.680
-  So there's just a lot in that House bill so that

00:42:35.680 --> 00:42:42.760
-  AIC and our group focused more on things that were in there and major bridge wasn't in there

00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:46.120
-  Because it dealt with community crossings and how that's changing

00:42:46.120 --> 00:42:50.300
-  So in Cune Bridge, there's just a lot of different

00:42:51.240 --> 00:42:55.770
-  Items in that House bill. So we really focused on that one. I was probably more of the one that

00:42:55.770 --> 00:42:57.000
-  wanted the major bridge

00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:01.040
-  Because I have a major bridge, so it's okay. It's probably just a different Avenue

00:43:01.040 --> 00:43:04.080
-  I'll have to go out, you know, they would support it in a heartbeat

00:43:04.080 --> 00:43:08.520
-  But it's just probably something if I really want to push it

00:43:08.520 --> 00:43:11.720
-  I'm gonna have to find a sponsor of the bill like that

00:43:11.720 --> 00:43:15.670
-  So I think you will get it pretty quickly because other counties are going to be needing it

00:43:15.670 --> 00:43:16.160
-  themselves

00:43:16.240 --> 00:43:21.720
-  I think the way inflation is yeah, and if you can have the major bridge, I think that the

00:43:21.720 --> 00:43:27.810
-  Fluctuation to use those funds should be available to us because they do nothing but stress that

00:43:27.810 --> 00:43:29.880
-  they want you to use all resources

00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:34.020
-  Locally before you know reaching out to other

00:43:34.020 --> 00:43:40.570
-  Assistants that's something that's sitting there that could be very utilized if you if we have

00:43:40.570 --> 00:43:41.360
-  access to it

00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:46.310
-  Well, I remember when I was on a county commissioner, there were some counties that had access to

00:43:46.310 --> 00:43:47.080
-  bridge funds

00:43:47.080 --> 00:43:49.600
-  But they weren't using it and they were told, you know

00:43:49.600 --> 00:43:55.900
-  Either you use it or you lose it because that's a good place to make good improvements on your

00:43:55.900 --> 00:43:56.440
-  roads

00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.440
-  Because if you don't have a good bridge

00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:04.430
-  Facility, you can't let the trucks through and a few other things that come to play at that point.

00:44:04.430 --> 00:44:04.560
-  So

00:44:04.560 --> 00:44:08.520
-  Good work. Thank you. I think we need to

00:44:09.200 --> 00:44:11.560
-  Personally, I think we need to continue this discussion and

00:44:11.560 --> 00:44:14.720
-  maybe lean in toward

00:44:14.720 --> 00:44:20.100
-  Getting that advice whether it's the Association of Indiana counties or whoever we should and in

00:44:20.100 --> 00:44:21.800
-  identify what needs to be done

00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:23.800
-  You know zero in on that

00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:29.560
-  And I'll tell you what from a broadband perspective as we see more and more

00:44:29.560 --> 00:44:35.960
-  People use it out in the country, you know, cuz I want them that you're gonna get some heavy-duty

00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.100
-  trucks FedEx

00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:44.120
-  Prime, you know ups even the US mail. Some of the bigger vans have been out in the country

00:44:44.120 --> 00:44:48.640
-  That's where a terror, you know, and they need bridges to cross

00:44:48.640 --> 00:44:54.300
-  Some of these places. So I think if we could zero in on that that would be great and find a use for

00:44:54.300 --> 00:44:55.040
-  that 50%

00:44:55.040 --> 00:45:04.160
-  Anyway, any anything else regarding resolution 25 20 25 - 0 3 it's just three and we have to do

00:45:04.160 --> 00:45:07.080
-  I moved up a proof

00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:12.440
-  Resolution 20 25 0 3. I'll second. I think that's

00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:18.800
-  Okay, please call the roll mr. Koppel mr. Martin

00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:21.320
-  Yes

00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:26.680
-  Commissioner Cassidy. Yes, Commissioner Keasley. Yes, Commissioner McCarty. Yes, Commissioner Jones

00:45:26.680 --> 00:45:34.360
-  Motion is approved 5 to 0 moving on to resolution 20 25 - 0 4. This is the curry profile

00:45:35.680 --> 00:45:39.280
-  and hopefully this will be the most straightforward. Yeah

00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:45.760
-  Much like the 46 quarter. We had issued a bond that hasn't been drawn down upon

00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.280
-  however, in this case, it's

00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:54.240
-  Intentional and that it won't be and the the person who has the bond is not intending to draw down

00:45:54.240 --> 00:45:55.340
-  on it because of issues

00:45:55.340 --> 00:45:58.040
-  That arose during the kovat pandemic

00:45:58.040 --> 00:46:02.960
-  They would appreciate it if we just paid off what was already

00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:09.680
-  Drawn down which was about $100,000 and we've been working towards that for the last year or so

00:46:09.680 --> 00:46:15.000
-  I think it'll be another couple years before it's all paid off. And then once that gets paid off

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.000
-  we had a discussion last month about maybe you know, if if

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:25.480
-  Clearly there's not a significant amount of funding going in there now if that changes and maybe

00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:27.680
-  that could do used to help offset some of

00:46:27.680 --> 00:46:29.600
-  the curry

00:46:29.600 --> 00:46:31.000
-  reconstruction costs

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:35.760
-  But I think for right now, I think the goal is to get that bond paid off

00:46:35.760 --> 00:46:39.320
-  Get it extinguished and then reevaluate where we are

00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:45.280
-  Revenue standpoint after we've paid it off see where it's gonna be. Okay

00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.040
-  Any questions on on this resolution?

00:46:49.040 --> 00:46:54.120
-  I'll make a motion to approve resolution 25 - for

00:46:54.120 --> 00:47:00.260
-  Call the roll mr. Cockrell, mr. Martin

00:47:01.260 --> 00:47:03.260
-  Yeah

00:47:03.260 --> 00:47:10.780
-  Mr. Cassidy, yes, Commissioner Kiesling. Yes, Commissioner McCarty. Yes, Commissioner Jones

00:47:10.780 --> 00:47:13.540
-  Motion is approved five to zero

00:47:13.540 --> 00:47:15.380
-  Okay

00:47:15.380 --> 00:47:20.580
-  Minutes we did not have a meeting last month. Correct. And so we got the March

00:47:20.580 --> 00:47:26.100
-  It's that meeting but I did read the minutes. Thank you

00:47:26.100 --> 00:47:28.100
-  I

00:47:28.100 --> 00:47:32.940
-  This time will entertain any

00:47:32.940 --> 00:47:35.180
-  questions any

00:47:35.180 --> 00:47:39.300
-  Corrections anybody sees or even a motion the German

00:47:39.300 --> 00:47:42.900
-  Curry profile tiff

00:47:42.900 --> 00:47:47.780
-  You state the amount is that supposed to have a dollar sign in front of the six?

00:47:47.780 --> 00:47:52.980
-  It's a it's an editorial issue but

00:47:52.980 --> 00:47:54.980
-  Yeah

00:47:54.980 --> 00:47:57.140
-  Yes

00:47:57.140 --> 00:47:59.140
-  It looks that way. I

00:47:59.140 --> 00:48:00.980
-  just

00:48:00.980 --> 00:48:05.980
-  Reading people will not identify a system. No dollar dollars to be signed it

00:48:05.980 --> 00:48:11.940
-  So I'd like to have an editorial. Okay on that. That's the only thing I saw when I was reading I

00:48:11.940 --> 00:48:14.580
-  Think yeah

00:48:14.580 --> 00:48:19.300
-  It does look like six million slips of

00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:21.300
-  Bonds

00:48:21.300 --> 00:48:30.420
-  Trying to move approval of the minutes of the

00:48:30.420 --> 00:48:37.520
-  County Redevelopment Commission for March 26 2025 with the

00:48:37.520 --> 00:48:46.320
-  Addition of a dollar sign in front of the six under the Prairie profile kiff district. I second

00:48:48.620 --> 00:48:51.380
-  This cockle and call the roll Commissioner Martin

00:48:51.380 --> 00:48:54.800
-  Yes

00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:57.520
-  Mr. Cassidy. Yes, Commissioner Keasley

00:48:57.520 --> 00:49:01.020
-  Commissioner McCarty. Yes, Commissioner Jones

00:49:01.020 --> 00:49:05.460
-  Motion is approved five to zero. All right moving on to claims

00:49:05.460 --> 00:49:11.620
-  Yes, we have

00:49:11.620 --> 00:49:15.980
-  Kind of two sets of claims one for Butler Fairman and

00:49:16.540 --> 00:49:23.910
-  Sofit ink for sixteen thousand six hundred and ninety nine dollars and two cents and these are for

00:49:23.910 --> 00:49:24.340
-  the

00:49:24.340 --> 00:49:27.260
-  karst green greenway

00:49:27.260 --> 00:49:29.900
-  connector trail inspections

00:49:29.900 --> 00:49:36.340
-  and then we have a second set of claims for financial solutions groups and that was for the

00:49:36.340 --> 00:49:41.020

00:50:21.980 --> 00:50:25.520
-  Let's get we have members of the public here when we

00:50:25.520 --> 00:50:29.680
-  if anybody like to make a comment before we move to staff

00:50:29.680 --> 00:50:35.340
-  On up

00:50:36.340 --> 00:50:38.340
-  I

00:50:38.340 --> 00:50:40.140
-  Just see everyone

00:50:40.140 --> 00:50:44.400
-  My name is Jen Pearl and I'm the president of the Bloomington Economic Development Corporation for

00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:45.720
-  those that aren't familiar

00:50:45.720 --> 00:50:51.110
-  We are a nonprofit that serves all of Monroe County in attracting and growing quality jobs to the

00:50:51.110 --> 00:50:51.820
-  community

00:50:51.820 --> 00:50:58.340
-  Talk Ben to your mic, please. I'm sorry fix your mics talking to the mic. Thank you

00:50:58.340 --> 00:51:03.780
-  Actually, this comment is just a follow-up on the discussion around SB one

00:51:04.500 --> 00:51:10.540
-  We published an article in The Herald Times a few weeks ago about tools that communities have to

00:51:10.540 --> 00:51:12.220
-  respond to revenue

00:51:12.220 --> 00:51:15.500
-  Deficits following the passage of SB one

00:51:15.500 --> 00:51:21.660
-  In terms of the economic development toolkit, there's really three things. It's attracting new

00:51:21.660 --> 00:51:28.460
-  Real property which is you know land and building growth in the community

00:51:28.460 --> 00:51:32.460
-  The second is business personal property above two million dollars

00:51:33.140 --> 00:51:34.900
-  based on the new

00:51:34.900 --> 00:51:40.380
-  Minimum de minimis, I guess you would say for personal property taxes. That's equipment for

00:51:40.380 --> 00:51:41.540
-  businesses

00:51:41.540 --> 00:51:43.540
-  and then finally is

00:51:43.540 --> 00:51:51.350
-  landing new residents that live inside of Monroe County, which is very critical given the possible

00:51:51.350 --> 00:51:52.980
-  shift from

00:51:52.980 --> 00:51:55.540
-  property taxes to

00:51:55.540 --> 00:51:57.860
-  local income taxes

00:51:57.860 --> 00:51:59.860
-  for making up revenue

00:52:00.140 --> 00:52:06.240
-  So the BDC stands ready to work alongside the county in trying to continue to attract and grow

00:52:06.240 --> 00:52:08.220
-  these opportunities here

00:52:08.220 --> 00:52:13.740
-  We published details on this in the Herald Times, but we're always happy to answer more questions

00:52:13.740 --> 00:52:15.300
-  and share information as needed

00:52:15.300 --> 00:52:23.240
-  All right, thank you Jen right running our signatures

00:52:23.240 --> 00:52:25.580
-  losing track

00:52:25.580 --> 00:52:30.740
-  Well, I appreciate everything you do at the BDC. I know they've been you've been very busy lately.

00:52:30.740 --> 00:52:31.540
-  So, thank you

00:52:31.540 --> 00:52:34.380
-  anyone else from the public

00:52:34.380 --> 00:52:36.860
-  We do have

00:52:36.860 --> 00:52:38.860
-  counselor was vital you have any

00:52:38.860 --> 00:52:44.820
-  Think so. I think I'm good. I haven't found anything that I didn't understand and that's a pretty

00:52:44.820 --> 00:52:45.820
-  good when I can go to a meeting

00:52:45.820 --> 00:52:47.820
-  like that

00:52:47.820 --> 00:52:55.100
-  So I'm going with that excellent, thank you and thank you for coming, okay

00:52:55.580 --> 00:52:57.580
-  staff comments

00:52:57.580 --> 00:53:04.140
-  Please if you want any project updates, I think the big one out there is Fullerton Pike

00:53:04.140 --> 00:53:10.140
-  We will be closing a section of that it went out today the news released for the last phase

00:53:10.140 --> 00:53:15.580
-  And then that is scheduled to open by August 4th for completion

00:53:15.580 --> 00:53:20.940
-  Probably be out there just finishing up things, but it'll be open for from

00:53:22.900 --> 00:53:25.040
-  High 69 to the

00:53:25.040 --> 00:53:32.300
-  New roundabout and phase two that was completed vernal pike again. The deck pour was done for that

00:53:32.300 --> 00:53:34.820
-  That's scheduled for mid-august

00:53:34.820 --> 00:53:37.100
-  completion and

00:53:37.100 --> 00:53:43.180
-  The karst trail that we had been working on they just are finishing up the punchless items there

00:53:43.180 --> 00:53:45.020
-  that extension and

00:53:45.020 --> 00:53:50.140
-  That's that's it of any other projects you need an update on

00:53:52.340 --> 00:53:54.340
-  First say that there will be

00:53:54.340 --> 00:53:57.380
-  Time when it opens for school bus traffic to start

00:53:57.380 --> 00:54:04.100
-  Traveling across that is that that's the target. Okay, because I think school starts like the fifth

00:54:04.100 --> 00:54:04.620
-  or sixth

00:54:04.620 --> 00:54:06.700
-  I think the six. Yeah something like yeah

00:54:06.700 --> 00:54:09.960
-  Close that those we're gonna make it

00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:12.700
-  We're going to make it. Yes

00:54:12.700 --> 00:54:20.100
-  Yeah, oh yeah, yeah your staff and the contractor out there at Fullerton Pike

00:54:20.100 --> 00:54:23.980
-  they seem to be doing an extremely good job of keeping things moving and

00:54:23.980 --> 00:54:26.980
-  When you start looking at it now

00:54:26.980 --> 00:54:32.660
-  Everybody is starting in that area to get excited because it will change the traffic patterns and

00:54:32.660 --> 00:54:34.340
-  give that east-west connector

00:54:34.340 --> 00:54:39.020
-  Which will be absolutely vital to the community. Yeah, they've done a really good job

00:54:39.020 --> 00:54:43.640
-  We have progress meetings every other week. We reach out to the public continuously

00:54:43.640 --> 00:54:46.660
-  We do door hangers out there

00:54:48.220 --> 00:54:51.780
-  We kept them we had an email listserv for the residents in the area

00:54:51.780 --> 00:54:57.850
-  So we really wanted to keep this one with a lot of communication. It's one of those projects love

00:54:57.850 --> 00:54:58.740
-  or hate it

00:54:58.740 --> 00:55:01.900
-  but I think it's

00:55:01.900 --> 00:55:05.260
-  Turned out well, I think people like it

00:55:05.260 --> 00:55:09.930
-  And I think a lot of the subdivisions will realize that it will eliminate that cut through traffic

00:55:09.930 --> 00:55:11.060
-  that they don't want

00:55:11.060 --> 00:55:13.740
-  Once it's opened

00:55:13.740 --> 00:55:15.740
-  So you have a lot going through?

00:55:16.300 --> 00:55:18.300
-  the

00:55:18.300 --> 00:55:23.740
-  Highlands to go to Rockport. I think they'll see that a lot of that will decrease

00:55:23.740 --> 00:55:30.820
-  Once once it's open so a good job. Appreciate it very much. Thank you. Great

00:55:30.820 --> 00:55:36.420
-  Okay, Jeff Cockrell anything I was just going to say that I

00:55:36.420 --> 00:55:43.180
-  This very afternoon. I got a reimbursement request for 162 thousand nine hundred and twenty dollars

00:55:43.980 --> 00:55:49.660
-  from Logan land development for the for the Hunter Valley extension

00:55:49.660 --> 00:55:53.900
-  clearly hadn't had time to go through it haven't had time to get to give it to the

00:55:53.900 --> 00:55:59.480
-  Highway Department to go through it. So it's not ready for your guys's to consume to look at

00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:00.060
-  tonight

00:56:00.060 --> 00:56:04.460
-  But just I think it's a sign that things are starting to move on that project, right?

00:56:04.460 --> 00:56:12.180
-  Wonderful that will be a great connector another great connector. So good. That's good news

00:56:13.380 --> 00:56:14.960
-  Okay

00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:18.140
-  Commissioner comments. So Richard, do you have any comments? Oh

-  Thank you, thank you good work Lisa with all the

00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:32.540
-  Legislation and everything else. I know it's mind-boggling

00:56:32.540 --> 00:56:39.570
-  I've never spoke. I've never testified before so that was that was a new experience for me, but I'm

00:56:39.570 --> 00:56:39.920
-  sure

00:56:41.500 --> 00:56:47.240
-  Thank you, and we do have a new redevelopment commissioner Michael Jones, so welcome you have any

00:56:47.240 --> 00:56:51.820

00:56:51.820 --> 00:56:55.500
-  Say

00:56:55.500 --> 00:56:58.420
-  Due to the area but 10 years. I'm some of the

00:56:58.420 --> 00:57:03.170
-  Some of the projects as you talk about them. It still takes a second for it to click as to where

00:57:03.170 --> 00:57:04.260
-  exactly that's at but

00:57:04.260 --> 00:57:07.620
-  That's fine

00:57:08.180 --> 00:57:13.880
-  Learning curve steep at this point. So welcome board. Yes. Welcome. Glad to have you and we're glad

00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:14.740

-  Been a very good meeting. I think that

00:57:21.540 --> 00:57:28.280
-  These resolutions come at a good time with you know, we have a lot of questions, but those are in

00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:29.980
-  the not-too-far future

00:57:29.980 --> 00:57:34.660
