President
thanks
Commissioners
good
evening
just
a
couple
things
on
the
staff
site.
We
had
our
new,
affordable
housing
program
manager,
Stephanie
LaFontaine
start
today
at
hand,
which
is
great
we're
going
to
be
interviewing
for
our
assistant
director
position
starting
next
week.
E
The
other
item
I
had
was
as
I
as
you
know,
I
sent
an
email
to
all
the
Commissioners
last
week
about
asking
a
member
of
the
Redevelopment
commission
to
be
on
the
committee
that
is
going
to
interview
the
finalists
for
what
could
be
an
owner's
rep
for
the
Hopewell
project,
and
this
is
to
help
push
the
ball
forward
on
Hopewell
as
we
that
development
expands
by
the
way
we
have
our
proposals
due
back
on
the
first
section
next
week.
As
we
look.
K
E
G
Have
a
couple
of
things
one
is
I
wanted
to
just
update
you
on
something
that
has
an
indirect
association
with
next
tomorrow
night,
the
mill
primarily
but
with
staff
support
will
be
presenting
to
the
city
council
a
request
for
funding
to
help
fill
the
construction
Gap
that
currently
exists
for
the
cost
of
constructing
the
trades
District,
the
Eda
trades
District
building.
G
So
that
is
going
to
it's
been
read
in
as
a
as
an
appropriation
ordinance
and
it's
it
will
be
presented
much
more
thoroughly
tomorrow
at
Council,
so
as
as
an
FYI.
What
happened
to
lead
into
that
is
that
the
Bloomington
Industrial
Development
advisory
committee,
commission
commission,
which
which
is
like
the
RDC
statutorily,
set
up
to
to
have
a
very
specific
function
in
this
case
that
commission
was
in
charge
of
overseeing,
what's
called
a
Creed
district,
and
there
are
two
of
them
in
Bloomington.
G
They
have
run
their
course
and
the
cree
districts
like
in
the
case
of
other
types
of
similar.
You
know
districts,
Tif
districts,
Works
somewhat.
In
the
same
way,
they
set
a
baseline
of,
in
this
case,
certain
revenues
that
would
go
to
the
state
and
then
the
increment
over
the
over
the
years
to
that
Baseline
come
back
to
the
city
with
certain
caps,
and
that
was
a
variable
cap
for
each
district
decree
District
anyway.
G
Those
monies
have
been
accruing
have
been
invested
along
the
way,
but
have
also
there's
a
remaining
balance,
and
so
the
request
from
Council
will
be
to
to
take
the
some
of
that
balance
and
help
fill
the
Gap
that
exists.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understood
that
that
was
happening
tomorrow,
we'll
let
you
know
how
it
goes
and
I'll
certainly
open
it
up
to
any
questions.
If
you
have
any.
C
G
And
the
bidac,
which
is
the
commission,
that
oversees
that
those
districts
that
oversaw
the
actually
the
fund
that
were
derived
from
the
district,
those
that
the
buy
DAC
voted
to
revert
the
money
from
District
funds
to
the
general
fund,
which
then
would
need
to
be
reappropriated,
which
is
what
the
request
is
of
council.
That
was
first
thing.
They
voted
to
terminate
the
districts
and
they
voted
to
terminate
the
commission
themselves
because
it
essentially
ended
its
its.
G
The
council
so
right
now
just
broad
Strokes,
the
the
economic
development
commission,
roughly
committed
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
the
grant.
The
RDC
committed
two.
J
G
Dollars
to
the
project
and
there
is
a
gap
right
now,
it's
an
estimate
because
we
haven't
gone
to
bid
yet,
but
there's
a
gap
of
three
and
a
half
million
dollars.
So
the
three
and
a
half,
the
incremental
incremental
three
and
a
half
beyond
the
two
million
that
the
RDC
has
committed
is
what
we
are
skiing
appropriation
for
from
the
council.
Okay,.
C
G
That's
to
be
determined,
I
think
the
the
ongoing
use
of
those
funds
hasn't
really
been
determined.
Yet
it's
just
cloud.
G
So
so
there
are
two
types
of
districts:
one
is
a
site-specific
one,
and
one
is
a
geography,
a
geographically
defined
one,
and
this
the
Thompson
one
is
a
site-specific
one
and
that
was
very
specific
to
the
kind
of
industrial
potential
of
the
site,
which
had
obviously
just
gone
through
a
pretty
significant
shock
at
the
time
that
that
District
was
set
up
so
I.
G
You
know,
if
you
look
at
it,
you
think
to
yourself
that
could
have
been
a
real
blight
look
at
it
now
I
mean
it's
a
very
successful
use
of
of
create
Monies
to
help,
and
there
were
other
monies
that
went
into
it,
but
to
help
kind
of
reactivate
that
site.
The
downtown
similarly
was
having
trouble
with
you
know,
sort
of
hard
to
believe,
but
he
was
having
trouble
with
with
development.
G
I
was
having
trouble
with
wage
growth,
and
so
so
some
tactical
Investments
along
the
way,
were
really
made
to
try
to
drive
that
and-
and
so
we
feel
like
in
both
of
those
cases,
they
were
very
successful.
Uses
of
creed
funds.
G
A
So
Alex
what
was
the
date
that
they
expired
on
the
June
of
2022
and
just
no
action
had
been
taken
there.
G
G
The
districts
were
active
that
there
was
a
geographic
boundary
to
to
to
the
expenditure
and
in
fact
there
were
other
very
strict
rules
about
what
what
you
could
use
them
for,
and
so,
when
we
were
using
them,
we
did
invest
them
along
the
way
a
recipient
had
to
follow
pretty
pretty
strict
guidelines
like
it
wasn't
just
for
anything
right,
I
mean
there
were
some
pretty
specific
things
that
you
could
do
and
not
do
so.
G
All
of
that
was
done
successfully
in
terms
of
applicants
that
it
had
approached
the
city
over
the
years
to
to
get
Investments
once
that
ends.
Then
it's
really
strategically.
You
want
to
keep
using
it
for
the
same
type
of
stuff
that
its
original
intent
was,
and
so
but
I
think
some
of
the
boundaries
around
that
are
loosened
because
the
districts
are
gone
and
the-
and
you
know
the
the
process
is
different.
C
G
And
so
we
feel
like
this
trade
system,
Technology
Center,
which
is
about
wage
growth.
It's
about
employment
growth,
it's
really
about
the
kind
of
the
same
kinds
of
things
that
the
Creed
districts
originally
were
set
up
to.
Do
we
think
that
it's
actually
an
appropriate
use,
even
if
technically,
it's
not
a
out
of
the
Creed
fund
anymore,
because
those
have
been
retired,
but
it's
an
appropriate
use
of
this
money
that
tie
closely
to
the
original
intent.
So.
C
J
G
Building
at
College
Square,
which
I
know
is
going
to
be
on
the
agenda.
The
parking
lots
can
be
my
agenda,
but
I
received
a
phone
call
at
the
end
of
the
day
on
Friday
from
Chief
Moore
who,
as
you
know,
the
fire
department
is
temporarily
having
their
station
one
in
there
apparently
there's
an
issue
with
the
public
access
to
the
lobby.
G
Unaffiliated
visitors
will
put
it
that
way
with
any
of
the
tenants
who
are
accessing
the
building
and
they
are
doing
damage
to
the
downstairs
base
to
the
the
first
floor
bathroom.
So
it's
kind
of
unfortunate.
What
seems
to
be
happening
is
that
they
may
be
accessing
it
during
the
time
that
the
front
door
is
open
during
business
hours,
hiding
and
then
after
hours
is
when
some
of
the
damage
is
being
done.
G
So
we
are
working
with
the
fire
department
and
also
with
our
facilities,
to
try
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
to
address
the
situation.
It
seems
like
there's,
probably
two
likely
ways.
One
is
to
lock
that
particular
bathroom
and
then
hand
out
the
keys.
It
doesn't
entirely
eliminate
access
to
the
building,
but
it's
certainly,
if
that's
an
attraction
point,
it
would
eliminate
that
if,
for
some
reason
that
doesn't
work
as
as
much
as
we'd
like
then
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
possible.
G
Other
options,
like
even
you
know,
unfortunately,
limiting
access
to
the
building,
which
is
not
what
we'd
like
to
do,
because,
as
you
know,
there
are,
there
are
tenants
in
there
who
have
visitors
all
the
time
so
anyway.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
that.
That
was
going
on
and
we'll
Circle
back
with
you
and
we
may
come
back
with
a
funding
request
just
on
those
kind
of
relatively
small
scale,
Just
For
Locks
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
then
just
a
reminder
that
the
art
show
continues
to
go
on.
G
A
F
F
So
we
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
before,
but
just
to
memorialize.
So
this
is
the
parking
lot
that's
outside
of
the
building.
That
Alex
was
just
talking
about
the
College
Square,
there's
technically,
two
lots
here:
they're
owned
by
Nancy
held
and
Thomas
six
brother
and
sister,
we
have
been.
We
assumed
Elise
as
part
of
the
purchase
of
the
Bunger
building.
F
That's
taken
a
long
time
recently,
just
in
terms
of
keeping
that
negotiation
going,
we
had
come
to
an
agreement,
at
least
in
principle,
on
a
potential
price
that
they
would
accept.
That
was
1.9
million
dollars,
which
was
higher
than
the
average
of
the
two
appraisals,
and
what
it
would
do
is
that
we
consolidate
that
lot
into
one.
So
right
now,
where
it's
carved
out
the
bunker
property
is
kind
of
an
l-shape
and
then
there's
these
two
parts
that
make
up
about
two-thirds
of
the
parking
lot.
This
would
combine
all
of
that
together.
F
This
was
just
as
a
reminder
for
the
public,
but
also
just
here
publicly.
This
was
the
favored
location
of
a
potential
Convention
Center
expansion.
We
did
a
large
public
charette
that
identified
this
as
the
best
and
most
likely
option
for
an
expanded,
Convention
Center,
connecting
it
to
the
existing
convention
center
and
having
those
work
kind
of
together
in
concert
to
provide
not
only
new
Convention
Center
space,
but
also
to
provide
new
public
meeting
space
and
things
like
that.
This
abuts
the
B
line
as
well,
so
there's
great
access
on
all
sides
to
this
particular
property.
F
That's
why
it
was
one
of
the
favorite
sites
for
for
an
expanded,
Convention
Center
as
well.
What
this
would
do.
This
is
there's
a
purchase
agreement
attached
to
this.
This
is
subject
obviously,
to
completing
a
phase,
one
environmental
things
like
that-
those
kind
of
conditions
precedent
to
closing,
but
this
would
be
a
purchase
price
of
1.9
million
and
it
would
come
out
of
the
Consolidated
Tiff.
We
had
also
talked
about
this
if
a
Convention
Center
project
gets
going.
F
K
F
K
Yeah
I
agree
with
Larry
it
with
the
time
just
considering
just
transferred
the
bunker,
Robertson
or
partial,
and
that
we
could
acquire
these
two
that
we
would
ask
for
reimbursement
to
those
okay.
A
K
B
And
so,
given
that
this
is
above,
the
average
of
the
two
appraisals
received,
this
does
help
us
to
consolidate
real
estate
in
basically
have
a
Consolidated
area
within
a
city
block.
So
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
acquiring
this
particular
property
will
affect
the
value
or
our
ability
to
do
different
things
with
the
fungal
property
that
we
already
have
bought
leaf?.
H
F
I
think
it
also
just
said
in
terms
of
the
Public's
rent
and
the
kind
of
preliminary.
It
was
obviously
very
preliminary.
You
know
this
isn't
the
final
design,
but
that
design
of
the
convention
center
actually
had
so
right
now,
there's
a
parking
lot
that
largely
faces
College
Avenue
and
instead
the
convention
center
would
have
Frontage
almost
exactly
on
College
Avenue
to
make
that
more
walkable,
and
so
that
these
Lots
would
be
directly
where
that
building
would
go
and
kind
of
those
public.
A
Can
I
just
ask
on
timeline
perspective
and
I
want
to
be
clear
on
what
our
I
guess?
Next
steps
could
be
so
next
step
one
could
be
selling
it.
Should
it
be
determined
that
it's
not
necessary
for
a
project
at
some
point
step
two
or
next
step
or
next
option
would
be.
You
know
making
it
a
part
of
the
convention
center
and
then,
lastly,
would
be
something
else
yeah
to
be
determined,
yeah.
A
H
H
H
That
would
really
real
I'm
talking
about
clearly
a
Convention
Center
expansion
would
be
one
of
those,
and
that
might
then
involve
some
further
discussions
with
the
county
which
is
sort
of
in
in
the
midst
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
its
next
steps
are
on,
that
other
potential
arts
or
Civic
engagement
projects
and
uses
for
that
property
and
pretty
much
anything
else.
I
think
that
would
be
the
first
Next
Step
really
because
a
number
of
things
are
kind
of
talked
about
and
discussed,
and
everything
I'm
really
sitting
down
now
and
scoping.
D
One
question:
are
there
any
limitations
on
the
land
use
in
terms
of
what
the
mission
of
the
RDC
is
and
the
RDC
has
put
up
the
acquisition
funds
for
the
property?
Are
there
any
limitations
in
terms
of
you
know?
Obviously,
Civic
use
just
wanted
to
clarify
if
the
city
would
change
the
property
and,
let's
just
say
it's
not
used
for
convention
center
expansion,
which
is
already
no.
D
F
F
We've
also
we've
kind
of
imposed
some
of
those
use
restrictions
typically,
when
we
sell
them
to
make
sure
that
whether
we're
talking
about
affordable
housing
has
come
in,
but
also
in
the
trades
district.
For
instance,
we
have
imposed
some
use
restrictions
on
purchase
agreements
there,
because
we
want
to
not
have
just
student
housing
there.
We
need
to
encourage
office
space.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
it
serves
the
purpose
of
the
certified
tech
part.
So
we
that
would
be
something
that
we'd
have
to
evaluate
at
that
time.
F
Convention
Center,
the
county
and
the
city
agree
that
we're
not
going
to
do
the
convention
center
we're
going
to
do
something
else,
then
maybe
we
look
at
what's
the
highest
and
best
use
of
the
property
at
that
time
and
then
consider
when
we
put
that
out,
we
would
have
to
put
it
out
for
public
offering
like
we
do
any
other
property
and
then
consider
some
restrictions
at
that
time.
Potentially
above.
C
Present
moment
I've
already
seen
the
choirs
that
were
subject
to
the
existing
planning
and
Udo
that
is
in
place
yeah.
We
have
our
restrictions,
anything
that
we
want
to
be
presented
forward
to
Convention,
Center
or
anything
of
that
nature
that
didn't
didn't
fit.
We
would
all
have
the
RDC
on
behalf
through
the
city
would
have
to
go
through
the
planning
process
and.
F
The
caveat
here
also
would
be
also
just
environmentals
just
to
be
clear.
You
know
we
have
we're.
This
is
subject
to
a
phase
one.
So
we'll
want
to
do
a
phase
one.
As
you
all
know,
in
the
downtown
Bloomington
area,
it
seems
like
we
had
about
10
000
gas
stations,
apparently
at
any
given
time,
and
so
there's
always
a
possibility
of
just
finding
something
in
the
soil
and
that
creating
it
doesn't
necessarily
create
use
limitations,
and
sometimes
it
does,
but
it
creates
a
menu
of
options
of
what
you
want
to
do.
F
If
you
don't
want
to
remove
the
soil,
sometimes
you
can't
have
first
floor
residential,
for
instance,
which
just
different
standards.
So
that's
something
we
would
want
to
keep
apprised
of
and
just
making
sure
you're
aware
of,
as
we
go
forward
about
what
those
options
are,
what
the
cost
options
are
for
those.
A
In
public
comment,
all
right,
without
with
that
I'll
entertain
a
motion
for
resolution
23-25.

I
K
Mean
I
I
might
actually
voted
for
any
other
source
because
it
could
be
that
there's
not
another
source
that
we're
not
aware
of
now,
as
it
comes
into
a
place
at
that,
because
I
wouldn't
necessarily
tie
it
directly
into
food
that
you
would
be
reimbursed.
Would.
I
A

Video
go
ahead.
Okay,
I
can
speak
to
unless
we
have
a
do.

A
K
F
Is
I
had
mentioned
this
in
part
as
part
of
the
legal
report
last
week,
just
in
terms
of
a
repair
that
cost
over
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
College
Square
building
again,
this
was
for
I'm
gonna.
Pretend
like
I,
know
what
this
is,
but
it's
a
phase
three
circuit
breaker
that
they
replaced,
which
is
one
of
the
big
circuit
breakers
that
serves
the
entire
building.
They
needed
to
upgrade
it
just
based
on
the
load.
They.
G
F
Improved
some
of
the
wiring
leading
into
that
circuit,
breaker
insulated,
the
opening
that
they
had
made,
and
so
this
came
out
to
be
with
labor
5635.69
per
resolution
2302,
which
is
your
general
maintenance
resolution.
Anything
it's
over.
Five
thousand
dollars
has
to
be
approved
by
you,
so
we're
bringing
this,
and
this
would
come
out
of
that
maintenance
fund
which
gets
paid
by
rents.
What
we
call
the
440.
J
F
F
Literally
everything,
so
obviously
they
possibly
can
help
us
out,
but.
I
So
I
guess
the
issue
is
this:
it
is
current
need
and
there's
no
way
to
wait
for
say
well
if
we're
going
to
tear
the
building
down
for
something.
So
we're
not
going
to
bother
it's
needed
by
the
current
tenants
and
the
fire
department
and
the
other
tennis
it
needs
to
be
done.
So
now
it's
going
to
get.
H
F
F
Believe
so,
this
was
taken
care
of
by
our
facilities,
manager,
JD,
Boris,
Bora.
