Thank
you,
chair
lewis
and
commissioners.
Today
we
have
an
annual
contract
to
renew
our
funding
for
the
home
program
by
senior
community
services.
This
amount
was
approved
in
our
2022
budget.
It
is
for
twenty
six
thousand
dollars
as
it
was
last
year
we
have
representatives
deb
taylor
and
hopefully
john
burkhow,
in
the
in
the
room,
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
program
itself.
H
As
you
know,
this
program
provides
services
to
seniors
in
bloomington,
including
minor
home
repairs,
winter
washing
safety
items,
security,
snow
removal,
raking
screen
window,
changing
that
sort
of
thing
included
in
your
packet
is
or
in
this
description
is
information
on
their
services.
Last
year
there
is
a
typo
here
in
myra.
Can
you
make
sure
that
the
minutes
are
updated
to
reflect
that
these
are
actually
the
2021
accomplishments
that
they
have
supplied?
H
I
Okay,
thank
you
brian.
This
is
deb
taylor
and
what
I
would
like
to
john
and
I
were
gonna
just-
do
a
just
a
really
brief
overview.
We
thought
we'd
share
with
you
just
three
three
main
points
about
senior
community
services
and
going
through
covid,
like
all
the
rest
of
us
together
right
and
then
john's
gonna
talk
specifically
about
home.
I
What
I
will
also
say
is
point
number
three
is
that
we
serve
one
of
the
hardest
hit
populations
due
to
covid
and
that's
older
adults.
60
plus
eight
out
of
10
covet
deaths
in
the
u.s
are
are
seniors
and
we
believe
that
helping
seniors
to
remain
in
their
own
homes
and
in
the
city
they
love
positions
them
much
better
than
them
having
to
move
into
a
senior
housing.
Assisted
living
or
nursing
home,
where
we
know
that
the
virus
is
spreading
still
in
those
facilities.
I
I
H
H
I
Correct
we
have
paid
staff
that
do
the
handiwork
and
we
have
paid
independent
contractors
that
do
the
lawn
mowing
and
the
snow
removal,
and
we
have
local
community
volunteers
that
do
the
spring
and
fall
yard
cleanup
and
all
of
the
the
field
staff
are
vetted.
We
do
background
checks
and
and
make
sure
whether
they're,
an
independent
contractor
or
an
employee
that
we've
done
a
background
check
on
them.
Most
of
the
time.
I
Our
best
luck
that
we
have
for
staff
for
this
position
is
actually
people
that
are
kind
of
in
retirement
themselves
or
they're
college
students
looking
to
pick
up
some
extra
money,
but
those
that
are
retired
themselves
are
really
looking
for
more
purpose
and
to
give
back
to
the
community,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
people
that
work
for
us
are
are
retired
folks
and
have
a
passion
for
the
mission.
It's
nice
to
make
a
few
extra
dollars.
I
I
could
do
that
with
regards
to
the
whole
program
sure
so
for
the
whole
program.
We
have
between
40
and
50
homemakers,
but
that's
not
part
of
this
grant
funding.
We
have
anywheres
between
40
and
50
independent
contractors
and
for
painters
and
maintenance.
Folks
we
can
have
anywhere
between
15
and
25.
H
B
G
B
I'm
sorry
who
was
the
second
who
came.
It
was
moved
by
commissioner
thorson
with
the
second
by
commissioner,
who
came
to
approve
the
resolution
approving
the
2022
home
program
funding
agreement
with
senior
community
services
for
26
thousand
dollars.
Is
there
any
discussion
hearing
no
discussion?
May
we
have
the
roll
call
vote?
Please.
I
B
J
Yes,
good
evening,
chair
lewis
and
commissioners,
I
am
jason
schmidt,
the
economic
development
analyst
I
actually
work
in
the
port
authority.
However,
I
did
previously
work
in
the
hra
about
two
years
ago
before
making
the
full
transition
100
over
to
the
port
authority,
and
I
do
have
a
presentation
myra.
Would
I
be
able
to
get
the
permission
to
share
my
screen.
J
The
current
developer
that
we're
working
with
is
working
was
working
on
an
option
agreement
at
the
former
days
insight
as
they
were,
responding
to
a
medical
office
rfp
that
was
out
for
a
south
metro
region.
During
those
conversations,
they
were
able
to
secure
an
option
agreement
with
the
owner
of
the
day's
insight.
J
So
at
that
time,
in
2017,
the
hra
board
passed
a
resolution
to
begin
kind
of
the
the
preliminary
review
and
authorization
for
redevelopment
project
and
issuance
of
revenue
bonds
in
2018.
The
hra
approved.
Actually
the
resolution
for
this.
The
redevelopment
agreement
that
we
currently
have,
as
well
as
the
issuance
and
sale
of
bonds
to
purchase
that
site
from
the
developer,
and
so
the
developer
exercised
their
option.
J
The
hra
done
in
turn,
purchased
it
with
revenue
bonds
to
assist
the
developer,
with,
basically
that
the
holding
costs
on
the
property,
in
turn
the
the
hra
subleased,
the
hotel
to
the
city,
which
inten
in
turn,
then
the
city
subleased
it
to
the
developer
in
which
they
continued
to
run
and
manage
the
days
in
sight.
During
that
time
frame.
The
way
the
development
agreement
was
written
was
that
they
were,
the
developer
was
still
going
to
be
seeking
a
medical
office
facility
on
this
site,
upwards
of
about
120
000
square
feet.
J
Just
recently,
we
were
before
you,
the
hra
commission,
with
a
resolution
to
amend
the
first
amendment
to
the
agreement
to
allow
the
developer
to
demolish
the
hotel
prior
to
any
acquisition
of
the
site,
and,
as
you
can
see,
that
that
is
the
develop.
The
demolition
has
occurred
on
the
property,
as
you
can't
see,
because
you
can't
see
the
slide,
I'm
showing
sorry
about
that.
I
also
want
to
show
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
bond.
So,
as
I
stated,
the
hra
did
issue
bonds
to
purchase
the
property.
J
J
The
developer
per
the
agreement
is
required
to
buy
back
this
property
by
the
maturity
date,
and
so
the
developer
is
required
to
buy
this
property
by
august
of
2023,
with
or
without
a
proposed
development.
However,
tonight
we're
here
to
actually
see
because
they're
proposing
a
development
with
that.
In
addition,
the
developer
is
to
pay
off
the
revenue
bond,
the
5.15
million
dollar
fees
as
part
of
of
closing
or
at
the
time
of
closing
on
the
property.
J
The
hra
investment
on
this
site
has
been
staff
time,
we've
been
the
holder
of
the
bond
and
we
have
had
some
hr.
A
development
funds
that
have
been
set
aside
in
accounting,
set
aside
for
a
backstop
in
case
of
the
developer,
were
to
miss
one
of
the
payments
that
the
hra
would
be
able
to
cover
that.
However,
the
developer
has
not
missed
any
payments.
J
So,
as
state
majority
of
you
were
at
the
planning
commission
meeting
on,
excuse
me
january
6th,
and
at
that
time
the
entitlements
were
moving
forward
on
this
site,
and
so
what
the
developer
is
proposing
is
a
fully
enclosed,
automo
automobile
dealership
on
this
site.
It's
a
four-story,
178,
000
square
foot,
building
with
which
the
first
floor
would
be
service
and
showroom,
and
the
second
through
second,
third
and
fourth
floors
would
be
inventory.
J
Project
schedule
so
tonight
is
the
consideration
for
the
updated
contract
for
redevelopment
with
the
hra
february.
They
will
be
going
before
the
city
council
for
zoning
entitlement
approvals.
They
would
be
looking
to
close
and
commence
construction
on
this
project
in
april
of
22,
with
a
projected
opening
in
the
spring
of
23.
J
There
is
no
hra
financial
assistance
requested
for
this
project.
This
development
would
be
100
privately
financed.
The
developer,
as
previously
stated,
would
purchase
the
property
from
the
hra
paying
off
those
bonds.
At
that
time,
the
hra
would
have
unencumbered
development
fund
dollars,
then
to
put
towards
future
projects.
J
And
so
with
that
staff
has
a
motion
that
is
in
the
packet
to
go
ahead
and
adopt
the
attached
resolution
approving
the
amended
and
restated
contract.
As
stated
with
that,
I
am
available
for
any
questions
and
the
app
or
to
me,
the
developer
is
here
as
well.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions
for
them,.
K
B
Thank
you.
It
has
been
moved
by
commissioner,
who
came
with
a
second
by
commissioner
coulter,
to
adopt
the
resolution
approving
amended
and
restated
contract
for
private
redevelopment,
with
bloomington
crossroads,
venture
llc
and
the
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
B
F
B
H
Hello,
commissioner,
lewis
and
commissioners,
brian
hartman
hra
program
manager,
bringing
forward
to
you
today
a
resolution
to
approve
entering
the
contracts
for
administrative
support
of
ten
thousand
dollars
each
for
bridging
housing
link,
oasis
for
youth
and
veep.
These
amounts
were
approved
in
our
2022
budget
last
fall
and
we're
bringing
forward
this
resolution
today
to
formalize
those
agreements
for
those
non-profits
for
general.
Administrative
support
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
E
B
B
Second
thank
you
has
been
moved
by
commissioner
thorson
with
the
second
by
commissioner
hukim,
to
approve
the
resolution
approving
the
grant
agreements
between
bridging
housing
link,
oasis
for
youth
and
veep,
and
the
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
Is
there
any
discussion,
madam
chair?
Yes,
commissioner
hukim,
thank
you.
K
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
really
appreciate
this.
I
think
it
we
have
three
or
three
great
organizations
here
in
the
city
of
bloomington
that
we're
blessed
to
have
here
and
I'm
it's
an
honor
to
be
able
to
donate
money
and
help
them
keep
doing
what
they're
doing
for
our
community.
So
I
really
thank
staff
for
for
this,
and
I
and-
and
you
know,
working
hard
to
get
this
approved.
B
B
L
That
goes
towards
the
plans
that
we
have
identified
here
in
the
city
and
as
the
hra.
So
the
success
of
the
application
for
the
project
is
predicated
on
local
support
of
the
proposal
and
staff
is
specifically
requesting
approval
of
the
resolution
that
would
show
one
the
board
supports
the
application
for
the
project.
Two.
L
Barb,
wolff
and
sean
james
are
both
here.
Barb
wolfe
is
special
projects
and
initiatives
manager
with
community
development
and
sean
james
is
a
planner
with
planning.
They
have
been
working
with
this
project
with
this
application
and
in
discussions
with
the
owner
and
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
or
provide
any
background
information.
You
would
like.
B
M
B
F
M
N
Thank
you
barb
and
chair
commissioner
thorson,
so
the
plans
that
were
submitted
to
the
city
you're
correct.
They
are
very
tentative
at
this
point,
so
nothing
formal
has
been
submitted
yet,
but
staff
has
seen
the
preliminary
plans
to
expand
the
existing
restaurants
to
the
east
and
it
would
cover
a
portion
of
this
site
at
nine
thousand
pen
and
there
would
also
be
the
addition
of
an
outdoor
patio
space.
N
Current
plans
show
around
100
seats
for
outdoor
patio,
but
again
very
tentative
at
this
point,
also
more
parking
and
landscaping
or
vegetation
on
the
site
as
well.
So
so
yeah,
along
with
the
demolition
of
the
existing
building.
There
would
be
site
improvements,
such
as
exterior
lighting,
vegetation
and
more
parking
to
support
the
use.
F
N
F
B
B
B

L
Thank

L
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
erica
coleman,
hra
administrator
I'd
like
to
bring
this
before
you
all.
If
we
have
things
coming
forward
and
just
so
you're
aware
of
it
so
on
the
february
8th
meeting,
which
is
our
next
meeting
and
proposing
that
the
port
authority
provide
an
update,
this
is
an
update
about
the
work
the
port
authority
is
doing
and
and
has
done,
and
what
what
we're
looking
forward
to
and
how
we're
working
together
number
two:
the
98th
street
station
study.
L
B
K
Thank
you,
I'm
just
curious.
I
know
I
guess
I
just
need
for
my
own
information,
because
I'm
kind
of
new
to
what
the
process
is
is
where
we're
at
on
expanding
our
board
legislative
wise.
So
what
does
that
all
entail?
What
is
there
anything
we
can
do?
Can
we
approach
people-
and
you
know,
be
like
look
we'd
really
like
your
support
on
this
things
like
that
like?
Where
are
we
sitting
all
right,
good
question.
L
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
commissioner
huheen
commissioners,
so
the
memo
that
was
requested
to
be
sent
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
requesting
that
we
include
in
the
2022
legislative
agenda
for
the
city
of
bloomington
as
an
increase
requi,
a
request
to
increase
our
board
from
five
commissioners
to
seven
be,
has
gone
forward.
The
reason
we
had
to
do
that
is
because
the
statute
that
the
originating
excuse
me,
the
enabling
statute
that
created
the
h,
bloomington
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
or
the
housing
redevelopment
authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
L
We
use
the
same
lobbying
firm
just
because
we
go
through
the
city
work
with
our
lobbying
firm
to
move
forward
with
getting
an
author
for
that
proposed
legislation
and
then
having
that
proposed
legislation
be
introduced
during
session,
which
is
starting
during
session
and
moving
forward.
That
way
we
are
available.
L
I
am
providing
information
as
requested
by
any
of
our
legislative
delegation
or
anyone
that
may
ask
for
more
clarification,
but
that
is
where
we
are
in
terms
of
you
being
able
to
approach
anyone.
You
are
all
bloomington
residents
as
well
as
commissioners,
and
I
encourage
you
to
always
reach
out
to
your
representatives
and
senators
and
council
members.
If
there
are
things
that
you
are
interested
in
and
you
would
like
to
