Feb 19, 2026 Redevelopment Agency

[Call to Order]

[00:00:07]

FALLS REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH, 2026. WE HAVE A QUORUM. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING PRESENT TODAY. WE NEED TO EXCUSE CHRIS PELKA LILY, BUT WE HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT.

[1. ACTION ITEM: Modifications, Additions, Changes to the Agenda]

[2. ACTION ITEM: Approval of Minutes: January 15, 2026]

ARE THERE ANY MODIFICATIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA TO THE MINUTES? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? SO IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY. AYE. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL

[3. ACTION ITEM: Approval of Expenditures and Finance Report]

AND SO FIRST OF ALL, YOU WILL NOTICE THIS FINANCIAL REPORT. WE HAVE OPIOID PAYMENTS THAT WILL BECOME. SO WE GET LUMP SUM PAYMENTS IN JANUARY AND JULY FROM THE COUNTY. THEY COME OUT AFTER ALL YEAR. BUT THE TWO BIGGEST PAYMENTS ARE JANUARY AND JULY. AND SO AFTER THAT WE ISSUE OUR PAYMENTS, WHICH IS TWICE A YEAR. THIS MONTH IN JANUARY, WE'RE ONLY ISSUING TWO PAYMENTS, ONE FOR EARTH COMMONS, WHICH IS TO BEND AND RIVER IN INDIA, WHICH WE TYPICALLY DO, AND THAT IS BROKEN OUT BASED ON THEIR PERCENTAGE. WE ARE NOT DOING EAGLE RIDGE BECAUSE THERE'S SOME WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO ON ON THAT, ON THAT OPIOID PAYMENT AND HOW WE'RE PAYING THAT ONE. BUT DUE TO SOME OTHER PAYMENTS THAT WERE IMPACTED. SO THAT ONE WE'RE HOLDING ON. I'M GOING TO WORK WITH BRAD ON THAT HERE IN THE COMING MONTH, AND WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT EAGLE RIDGE WITH THE PAYMENT. SO IT'LL BE ABOUT A MONTH LATE. TYPICALLY THERE WILL BE USUALLY DONE. AND THEN JACKSONVILLE JUNCTION, WE HAVE THE PAYMENT FOR THIS MONTH, WHICH ALSO INCURS A A RESERVE PAYBACK. SO IT'S ABOVE THEIR NORMAL PERCENTAGE BECAUSE THE BOARD APPROVED PREVIOUSLY TO PAY BACK SOME OF THOSE RESERVES, WHICH WAS 235,000. SO THAT ONE IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN NORMAL. AND THAT LEAVES THE DISTRICT 81,000. AFTER IT'S DONE, THE REMAINING DISTRICTS PANCARI EAST ENTERS A BUSH, AND STANLEY BOTH DO NOT HAVE A BOOK AGREEMENT THAT FINISHED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. SO THOSE FUNDS ARE JUST BEING HELD UNTIL THOSE ARE FINALIZED. SO THAT'S ONE THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT.

AND THIS THIS MONTH'S FINANCIAL REPORT. NOW I WANT TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET, WHICH IS THE BUDGET TO ACTUAL REPORT. YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE IN RIVER COMMONS THAT THAT THIS MONTH'S OPIOID PAYMENT TAKES UP MOST OF THE BUDGET, WHICH MEANS WE'RE GOING TO DO A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AND JULY TO MOVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT BUDGET TO THE OPIOID PAYMENT. THE REASON WHY IS THE TAX INCREMENT THIS TIME WAS HIGHER THAN THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME. MISUNDERSTANDING ON THE PARCELS. AND SO WHEN BRAD WAS DOING A PERSPECTIVE PLANNING, HE WAS DOING THE THE CHANGE TO THE AREA. WE NOTICE THAT THERE IS ONE PARCELS HAVE BEEN DROPPED OFF AND HAVE BEEN DROPPED OFF FOR TWO YEARS. WE HAD NOTICED THAT FROM OUR ANALYSIS THAT THE REVENUE WAS GOING DOWN, BUT WE DIDN'T IDENTIFY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS UNTIL WE STARTED LOOKING AT INDIVIDUAL PARCELS AND NOTICED THAT ONE PARCEL HAD BEEN DROPPED OFF AT THE DISTRICT. THAT'S BEEN CORRECTED. AND SO THIS YEAR'S PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT IS HIGHER. THERE'S NOT, IN MY OPINION, THERE'S NOT A NECESSITY TO GO BACK AND TRY TO CAPTURE THE REVENUE FROM THAT DISTRICT BEING DROPPED OFF, BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PAID OUT TO THE OTHER TAXING DISTRICTS. YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND GET THEM TO YOUR COUNTY AND THEN TURN OUT. YES, IN MY OPINION, THAT'S NOT WORTH DOING. AND IN IF THERE WERE COMMENTS, BUT IT'S THE BOARD'S DECISION IF THEY WANT TO TAKE THAT. IF YOU LOOK AT JACKSON HOLE,

[00:05:03]

ONE OF THE THINGS IT LOOKS LIKE ON THIS REPORT, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MATTERS, BUT YOU GET BV LENDING UNDER FINANCE REPORT FEBRUARY 19TH FINANCE REPORT. IT'S GOT BV LENDING GETTING $11,000 AND 672 OF THOSE SHOULD BE SWITCHED. YES I WILL MAKE THAT CORRECTION OKAY. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MARK. WHAT'S THE AMOUNT OF THE POTENTIAL RECAPTURE ON THE RIVER COMMONS REDISTRICTING OR RECOUPING THE DISTRICT. IT WOULD BE A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER ABOUT PARCEL DATA. I DON'T HAVE THAT. BUT I CAN BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WAS MISSING. AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE COST TO GET IT BACK, WELL, WE'D HAVE TO GO TO EACH TAXING DISTRICT AND REFUND IT. BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED, INSTEAD OF BEING IN THE DISTRICT AND TAKING THE INCREMENT OUT AND SENDING IT TO THE AGENCY, THE WHOLE THING WENT OUT TO ALL THE TAXING DISTRICTS, AND THERE'S 10 OR 15 OF THOSE 5 OR 6 PER 5 OR 6 TAXING AGENCIES THAT HAVE THE CITY AND COUNTY. FIRE DISTRICT, CEMETERIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS WELL. YEAH. VERY GOOD. MEGAN, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. COMMISSIONERS, JUST A QUICK POINT OF CLARIFICATION ON THE SOME OF THE OPAS THAT WERE REFERENCED. SO STANLEY BOGUE, THERE IS NOT AN OPA IN PLACE FOR BOTH PANCARI EAST BANK AND ANDERSON BUSH. THE CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CUTTING A CHECK THAT HAVE NOT ALL BEEN COMPLETED YET, BUT THERE ARE OPAS IN THOSE DISTRICTS. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. SO WHICH PARCEL WAS IT THAT GOT MISSED? I DON'T BRING THAT WITH US, BUT WE CAN I CAN I WAS TRYING TO WORK WITH BRAD FOR ALL THE DETAILS. OKAY. SO CAN I ASK. WE'RE NOT SHORTING THE DEVELOPER ANY MONEY BECAUSE OF THAT. THAT AIR THAT'S COMING OUT OF RESERVES, IS THAT CORRECT? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T COLLECT IT. WE DON'T PASS IT ON.

SO WE ARE PENALIZING THE DEVELOPER. POTENTIALLY WE COULD. MY THOUGHT WAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS LOST BECAUSE THE CALCULATION TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ALL THE STACKS ARE, AND THEN WE COULD GO FROM THERE. AND THEN WE YOU DO HAVE RESERVES. YOU CAN PAY THAT OUT OF YOUR OWN RESERVES. OR YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE TAXING DISTRICTS AND EXERCISE. THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS PAYING OUT RESERVES. THEN WHEN A DISTRICT CLOSES AND WE RETURN THOSE FUNDS, IF THERE'S ANY LEFT OVER TO TO THE GENERAL FUND, WE'RE REDUCING THE GENERAL THAT PAYOUT BY THE AMOUNT OF RESERVE WE USE TO PAY THIS BY. YEAH. BUT YOU'RE ALSO TAKING IT BACK THAT YOU WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT BACK HAD YOU RECEIVED THOSE FUNDS. OKAY. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DISTRIBUTION WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME. CORRECT. AND IS IT THE EXPECTATION THAT THAT FUND WOULDN'T IT. YOU YOU ADDRESS THIS TO BEGIN WITH. WHEN WHEN THAT DISTRICT CLOSES, THERE

[00:10:04]

IS THAT IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT, MR. CHAIR. AND COMMISSIONERS, THE OBLIGATION IS TO PAY A PERCENTAGE BACK. THESE ARE OLDER OPAS THAT ARE STRUCTURED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WOULD CHANGE. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY OBLIGATION FOR US TO GO BACK AND TRY AND RECRUIT FUNDS THAT WE DIDN'T GET. WE'LL DO SOME INTERNAL DUE DILIGENCE AND FIGURE OUT, I'M NOT SURE IF THESE PARCELS ARE COMPLETELY DROPPED OUT OF THE REVENUE ALLOCATION OR JUST COMPLETELY DROPPED OFF THE TAX ROLLS, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT WE HAVE. BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PASS IT ON.

AND IS IT ALSO RIGHT THAT, I MEAN, THE THE, THE DEVELOPERS GET SOME ACCOUNTING FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING EVERY TIME WE PAY AN OPA, THAT THEY COULD AUDIT THESE AT ANY TIME AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE GETTING ALL THE PARCELS THAT ARE GETTING ALLOCATED THE RIGHT WAY. SO WHEN WE DO THE PAYMENTS, WE DON'T LOOK BY PARCEL, WE LOOK BY CASH RECEIPT. THE ONLY ONES THAT WE DO BY PARCEL ARE THE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE INDICATED BY PARCELS, OR EAGLE RIDGE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WE LIST OUT EVERY PARCEL, WHAT WE COLLECT. EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST REVENUE. I THINK.

BAND AND RIVER, WE ALSO SEPARATE OUT. YEAH, RIGHT. SO WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT REVENUE SO THEY COULD GO BACK TO THE COUNTY. THEY COULD FIND THEY COULD FIND THIS TOO IF THEY WANTED TO CHECK IT VERY CAREFULLY. CORRECT. OKAY. BUT IF WE DON'T ACTUALLY OWE THEM ANY MONEY FOR ANYTHING THEN. IS THERE A POINT IN GOING AHEAD WITH A AUDIT AND A RECLAMATION OF THOSE FUNDS? WE'VE GOT THE MONEY TO DO THE BONEYARD AND HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER. SO WE'D JUST BE LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMETHING, SOME FUTURE UNKNOWN PROJECT IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. CORRECT. AND IT WOULD ALL BE 25% OF THE FUNDS THAT WE COLLECTED, BECAUSE WHATEVER WE COLLECT, SAY, 5% WOULD GO TO ABANDON RIVER AND. OKAY, I HAVE HEARTBURN WITH NOT DOING IT RIGHT. YEAH. I MEAN, BUT THE SYSTEM IS KIND OF DIFFICULT TO TAX. WE'VE GOT THE ASSESSOR AND TREASURER WORKING ON THIS OVER THE COUNTY. HOW THIS ALL COMES TOGETHER AND US CHECKING IT EVERY TIME THERE IS, YOU KNOW, THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME DISCREPANCIES IN TIME. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE WE DO PRETTY WELL, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN BE PERFECT ALL THE TIME. AND DEVELOPERS ARE FREE TO CHECK US. BUT IF WE. BUT IF WE KNOW IT, I MEAN, IF WE DON'T KNOW IT, THAT'S ONE THING. BUT WE KNOW IT, RIGHT? WE KNOW IT.

SO WE KNOW IT NOW, AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT UP AS TIME GOES ON TO GET THEM. SO GET THEM BACK ON THE ROLLS AND GET THE MONEY COMING IN FOR THOSE. I THINK THIS WOULD BE A FUTURE DECISION. I THINK WE NEED TO BRING THE DATA FORWARD AND TELL YOU THIS IS THE PARCEL.

THIS IS WHAT DRUG? THIS IS WHY IT DROPPED OFF AND THIS IS WHERE IT WENT BEFORE YOU COULD REALLY MAKE A AN INFORMED DECISION. MY POINT HERE TODAY WAS TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND LET THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET. BUT I STILL THINK THAT THERE'S MORE WORK TO BE DONE. RIGHT? RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS GOOD. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

MARK. AND YOU KNOW, MR. CHAIR, WE JUST DON'T OPERATE IN THE BUDGET LEVY ASSESSMENT SPACE.

SO IT'S VERY CHALLENGING ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE FOR THE AGENCY. YEAH. AND THE COUNTY

[00:15:04]

YOU KNOW, THEY DO THIS WORK OF DIVIDING THESE UP AND MAKING SURE THEY ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TAXING ENTITIES ON THEM. AND, AND WE'RE ON THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT IS A STEP IN THE PROCESS THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO BE MORE CLEAR WITH DEVELOPERS. PLEASE CHECK US BECAUSE WE DO PRETTY WELL. BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY GO CHECK WITH THE ASSESSOR AND TREASURER AND GO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S HAPPENING THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE COULD BE GUARANTORS OF EVERYTHING THAT'S COMING OUT OF BONNEVILLE COUNTY. THAT'S NOT REALLY IN OUR CONTROL. THE PROCESS FOR FOR AGENCIES LIKE A CITY, YOU'D GET REPORTS AND DATA ABOUT THE PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS AND, AND YOUR AREA VALUATION CHANGES AND THE URBAN CONSTRUCTION AND ANNEXATION REPORTS OF THAT AGENCIES. YOU DON'T YOU JUST GET THE INCREMENT OF THOSE TAXING DISTRICTS THAT COME IN. AND SO YOU DON'T GET A LOT OF DATA TO ANALYZE. AND SO WHAT YOU DO, YOU HAVE YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ERROR. AND IF YOU'RE GOING IN OR ADJUSTING A PARCEL OR SPLITTING OR DOING THING, SOMETIMES THERE HAPPENS. AND SO THAT'S HOW IT KIND OF GETS DROPPED OFF. BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IN THIS CASE. BUT I KNOW THAT THINGS GET UPDATED REGULARLY. AND SOMETIMES MISTAKES HAPPEN. RIGHT? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. THANKS.

MARK DOES THAT ALSO MAYBE LIKE ADDRESSING KIRK'S CONCERN, MAYBE WE COULD GO AHEAD AND GET THESE COST BENEFIT NUMBERS AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT MAYBE WHAT MIGHT BE COMING UP AND HOW IT RELATES TO OUR AVAILABLE FUNDS GOING THROUGH THE END OF THE DISTRICT. AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD JUST LAY IT OUT THAT, YES, WE ACKNOWLEDGE WE MADE THIS, THERE WAS THIS MISTAKE MADE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, AND HERE'S HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO GET IT BACK. AND HERE'S WHAT WE COULD GET BACK. NET AND THEN JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION AND MAYBE JUST SAY, WE DON'T KNOW OF ANY PROJECTS AT THIS TIME, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO KIND OF ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS MADE. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION ON IT AT THIS POINT. IF WE CAN'T IDENTIFY ANY OTHER PROJECTS GOING FORWARD. YEAH, I THINK LET'S HAVE MARK LOOK INTO IT AND SEE WHERE WE'RE AT. YEAH.

THE WHOLE THE WHOLE SITUATION, BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FUND WHAT WE'VE COMMITTED TO FUND TO BE. AND SO WE SHOULD BE FINE IF WE'RE NOT PERFECT. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS, CONCERNS. YEAH. JUST JUST BRING US BACK SOME INFORMATION NEXT MONTH AND WE'LL LOOK AT IT IN MORE DETAIL. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO NOW WE HAVE THE EXPENDITURES AND FINANCE REPORT. THERE WAS ONE. THERE'S AN EXPLANATION. THERE WAS A CHANGE TO THE PV LINE THE ABANDONED RIVER DESIGNATIONS ON THERE. BUT WITH THAT MODIFICATION IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE EXPENDITURES AND FINANCE REPORT. SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL

[4. ACTION ITEM: Approve Task order for Executive Director Services]

THEY'RE DOING GREAT WORK IN THEIR IN WHAT THEY NEED TO DO WITH ALL THE LAND USE PLANNING AND ZONING AND ALL THE OTHER BUILDING PERMITS AND APPROVALS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON.

AND THE CITY IS IN A GROWTH MODE, AND A LOT OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY AND WE'RE GROWING COMMUNITY, THANK GOODNESS. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. AND SO THE MAYOR AND HAS APPROACHED US TO SAY, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU GIVE ME BACK A LITTLE BIT MORE WEIGHT? CAN YOU GIVE ME A WAY BACK A LITTLE BIT MORE? AND AND I SAID, YOU KNOW, SO MY RESPONSE TO THAT WAS, YES. WHAT HE'S DOING FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IS ESSENTIAL. WHAT WE DO IS IMPORTANT AND AND CREATIVE, BUT IT'S NOT QUITE AS ESSENTIAL AS WHAT HE'S DOING. SO THE THE IDEA IS WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT THIS TASK ORDER FOR AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SHIFT SOME OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES ONTO BRAD AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,

[00:20:07]

HE CERTAINLY HAS EXPERIENCE ACTING AS EXECUTIVE OF OUR AGENCY IN THE PAST. AND HE GOOD AT MEETING WITH PEOPLE AND HELPING THEM THROUGH THEIR PROJECTS. AND HE'S KNOWLEDGEABLE, BUT HE'S NOT HERE. SO WE NEED ALSO TO REPLACE. WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT'S HERE IN THE OFFICES THAT'S HERE, A CITY EMPLOYEE WHO CAN WORK WITH ANNE AND BRIAN AND MEGAN AND BRAD MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY'S DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT WE'RE FULLY COMPLIANT ON ALL PUBLIC MEETINGS, ALL KINDS OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCE LAW. AND, AND FOR OUR, YOU KNOW, ORGANIZING THE MEETINGS, ORGANIZING EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT WE'RE MEETING ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF BUDGETS AND, AND ANNUAL REPORTS AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF THING. SO WE NEED SOMEBODY WITHIN THE CITY THAT'S GOING THAT CAN DO THAT. AND THE MAYOR'S ASKED CATHERINE SMITH, WHO HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH US, TO TAKE ON THAT ROLE AS WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A GOOD NAME FOR PROGRAM MANAGER OR SOMETHING, THAT WHERE SHE IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE ALL THE CITY WORK IS STILL GETTING DONE EFFECTIVELY. SO THAT'S THE PLAN WE'VE COME UP WITH, AND WE'VE DRAFTED THIS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND MEGAN PREPARED THIS SO THAT WE COULD RETAIN BRAD TO DO THAT. AND THAT WOULD MEAN THAT WE'RE PAYING BRAD IN PERSPECTIVE, PLANNING FOR THAT WORK INSTEAD OF ALLOCATING COSTS TO TO THE CITY, AS WE'VE DONE FOR WADE'S TIME IN THE PAST. LET'S GO THROUGH THIS ONE AT A TIME. MEGAN, DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER AND DESCRIBE THE THE TASK ORDER TO US? SURE. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. COMMISSIONERS. SO AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS AN EXISTING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE AGENCY AND MR. KRAMER. AT ONE POINT, HE HAD ACTUALLY SERVED AS AN INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THERE MAY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN A SEPARATE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, BUT WE DO THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, HAVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE TASK ORDERS FOR CERTAIN SCOPES OF SERVICES. AND SO HERE WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS TASK ORDER 15, WHICH OUTLINES THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SERVICES THAT BRAD IS BEING RETAINED TO SERVE ON BEHALF OF THE AGENCY. THERE WAS EFFORT THAT WAS THAT WAS TAKEN TO TRY AND ALMOST SCRIPT OUT WHAT A JOB DESCRIPTION WOULD BE AND ADDING A NUMBER OF SPECIFIC BULLET POINTS THAT WOULD PROVIDE SOME FRAMEWORK AND SCOPE AS TO WHAT BRAD WILL BE DOING FOR THE AGENCY. AND IT REALLY IS FOCUSING ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE PIECE THAT COMES WITH THIS ROLE. THAT'S ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO PREPARING FOR THE BOARD PACKETS, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S IN THE BOARD PACKET FOR RESOLUTIONS.

AGREEMENTS WILL BE REVIEWING IF THERE NEEDS TO BE ANY POLICY GUIDELINES OR UPDATES. ALSO IN THAT ROLE, COORDINATING WITH CITY STAFF, WORKING WITH BRIAN, CATHERINE AND ANNE TO BOTH COORDINATE WITH MEETING WITH POTENTIAL DEVELOPERS ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS, AS WELL AS COORDINATING ON THE PUBLIC PIECE IN TERMS OF HOSTING THE AGENDA AND MEETING NOTICES.

THERE'S ALSO, IN THIS ROLE, AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ACTIVE IN TERMS OF COORDINATING BETWEEN THE AGENCY AND THE DEVELOPER. AS WE REALLY START TO DIVE INTO THE DRAFTING OF THESE OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS AND FIGURING OUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE ELIGIBLE PROJECTS ARE, HOW THOSE ESTIMATES ARE MADE, AND THE COORDINATION THAT REALLY NEEDS TO OCCUR BETWEEN IFRA AND CITY STAFF IN TERMS OF WHAT THE CITY MAY BE DOING ON THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE AND EXISTING AND OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS FOR SPECIFIC PARCELS, AND JUST COORDINATING INCENTIVES BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES. AND SO MR. KRAMER CAN BE INSTRUMENTAL IN WORKING WITH CATHERINE AND CITY STAFF ON THAT AS WELL. SO I'LL ALSO POINT OUT THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE EXISTING. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT. MR. KRAMER'S READ AT THAT TIME WAS 160 AN HOUR FOR THIS SCOPE OF WORK. IT'S PROPOSED TO BE $170 PER HOUR, AND THAT WILL BE FOR

[00:25:09]

THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SHIFT TO FROM THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS AN ABILITY TO TERMINATE ON BOTH SIDES, YOU KNOW, SHOULD THINGS CHANGE AT SOME POINT. SO ANYWAY, HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. OKAY. ONE QUESTION FOR IF WE NEEDED FEASIBILITY STUDY ELIGIBILITY REPORTS, I SHOULD SAY ELIGIBILITY REPORTS. WHO ELSE IS AVAILABLE OTHER THAN BRAD TO HELP WITH THOSE? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. COMMISSIONERS IN THIS AREA, THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF FOLKS THAT DO THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF WORK. THE FEW OTHERS THAT WE HAVE ENGAGED IN THIS SCOPE OF WORK ARE, ARE NOW REALLY WINDING DOWN, SUCH AS RENEE MCGEE. IT IT MAY BE THAT BRAD WOULD BE CALLED UPON PURSUANT TO A FUTURE TASK ORDERS, TO CONTINUE TO DO SOME OF THIS ELIGIBILITY STUDY AND OR FEASIBILITY STUDY WORK.

THERE'S NOTHING IN THE STATUTE THAT SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS THAT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. BUT THERE'S THERE'S JUST NOT MANY FOLKS THAT DO THIS IN YOUR AREA, FRANKLY, STATEWIDE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. KIRK, THAT THAT WAS MY QUESTION. WAS THE IMPACT THAT HIM BEING A CONTRACT FOR THIS FUNCTION, WOULD THAT IMPACT HOW DEVOTED REPORTS AND YOU ADDRESS THAT. SO. YEAH, WE DO HAVE WE HAVE AN RFQ IN PLACE DON'T WE.

WHERE WE DID THE BID PROCEDURE FOR SOME FOR SOME ENGINEERING COMPANIES THAT MAY BE ABLE TO DO THIS KIND OF WORK? I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T REMEMBER. I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING IN PLACE WHERE WE APPROVED SOME. I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY. THAT'S NOT COMING TO MIND. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AROUND FOR THAT. OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TASK ORDER. JUST FROM A BUDGET STANDPOINT, HOW DOES THIS IMPACT WHERE WE'RE BRINGING THIS INTO PLAY DURING THE CURRENT YEAR? HOW DOES THAT IMPACT OUR CURRENT BUDGET? WE HAVE TO REOPEN BUDGET BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MUCH HIGHER COST ON THE CITY ADMINISTRATION LINE WITHIN THE BUDGET THAN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED WHEN WE SET IT TO BEGIN WITH.

AND I GUESS THEN. WHAT IS OUR EXPECTATION FOR THE YEAR? DO WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO PUT THIS CONTRACT IN PLACE AT THE RATE THAT'S BEEN DETERMINED? SO JUST QUESTIONS ABOUT FEASIBILITY, VIABILITY, I GUESS, TO BE ABLE TO PAY OUT THAT AMOUNT. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I NOTE ON THE BUDGET REPORT WE HAVE TODAY, WE HAVE FOR THE TOTAL WE HAVE 48,000 FOR CITY ADMINISTRATION. AND WE'VE SPENT 6400 IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS. SO WE HAVE THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE I THINK. WE I MEAN, MY OPINION IS WE PROBABLY GET A PRETTY GOOD DEAL FROM THE CITY. I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT TOO LOUDLY. EVERY CITY HOLDS THEIR EARS, BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE WE GET A GOOD DEAL. IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE. RIGHT? AND THEN SO HOW IF WE'RE PAYING THAT RATE PER HOUR, HOW DO WE. IT'S UNDER A TASK ORDER. SO IT'S AN OPEN TASK ORDER WITH HOW THEY NOT TO EXCEED PROVISIONS. SO IF SOMETHING

[00:30:02]

SO WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US YOUR INPUT ON THIS? APPRECIATE THAT. FIRST. SURE. THANK YOU. CHAIR.

YEAH, THAT'S HARD TO DETERMINE ON THE AMOUNT OF HOURS WE WERE TRACKING THOSE QUITE EXTENSIVELY. I THINK 20 HOURS IS IS ACTUALLY RATHER FEASIBLE FOR HOW MUCH TIME WE, WE DID SPEND ON THE DIFFERENT TASKS THAT WE HAD THAT EBBS AND FLOWS. SOMETIMES IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE LESS I DIDN'T SEE IT USUALLY EXCEEDING THAT I WAS I WAS TRYING TO THINK THROUGH MY HEAD FROM RECENT MEMORY, IF IT EVER EXCEEDED EVEN TO 40, AND I NEVER GOT UP TO THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS YOU AT ALL TO GIVE YOU THAT CONSTRAINT THAT I TYPICALLY FOUND IS AROUND 20. SO I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE. AND DOES THIS SEEM WORKABLE TO I MEAN, THIS CHANGE DOES THIS DOES THIS WORK FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT AND FOR THE CITY? YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION. YEAH. I, YOU KNOW, I, I LOOK AT I HAVE TO SAY IT, I ENTERED PUBLIC SERVICE TO, TO SERVE. THAT'S HOW I SO I LOOK AT WHATEVER BENEFITS THE ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE IS I THINK BETTER. THE MAYOR HAD TALKED TO ME ABOUT THIS PRIOR. EVEN DURING THE ELECTION. SHE HINTED AT A COUPLE THINGS. SO THAT BEING SAID, WITH ME PERSONALLY, IT'S IT'S PERFECTLY FINE. I'M PERFECTLY FINE WITH IT. WITH THIS CITY, WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO COORDINATE. WHAT I FORESEE IS WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO SIT DOWN WITH CATHERINE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SHUFFLE SOME OF THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES A LITTLE BIT. I STILL THINK THAT WE WOULD BE INVOLVED, LIKE BRYAN GENERATING MAPS AND AND A COUPLE OTHER TASKS THAT WE HAVE THAT REALLY ARE KIND OF CITY SPECIFIC THAT WE WOULD REALLY HAVE TO COORDINATE. BUT I'M HAPPY TO MY STAFF TIME AND AND VOLUNTEERING MY STAFF IS. BUT I REALLY DO THINK JUST TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING AND TO KEEP HELPING YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS IS YOU'RE HAPPY TO HELP IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN. OKAY, WELL, WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE AND ALL THE WORK. YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU BRING TO THIS. YOU KNOW, YOUR KEY TO TO WHAT WE DO, WHETHER YOU'RE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OR NOT, YOU'RE STILL YOU'RE STILL VERY KEY TO OUR SUCCESS. SO WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU. NO PROBLEM. WELL, MARK, I THINK IF THERE'S THE CONCERN THAT THERE'S NOT A CONTROL OR INTERNAL CONTROL THAT THAT THIS COULD GO BACK TO BILL 60 HOURS A WEEK, YOU WOULD PUT AN APPROVAL THAT ANYTIME THEY GO OVER 20, YOU WOULD HAVE CATHERINE APPROVE THE PROJECT OR THE TASK THAT HE'S WORKING ON. THAT WOULD BE A CONTROL TO HELP CONTROL THAT PERMISSIONS OF GOING OVER THE 20 HOURS PER WEEK. OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION. WE CAN PUT THAT IN PLACE. BRAD, WHY DON'T YOU SPEAK TO THIS? I IMAGINE YOU'RE RUNNING A PRACTICE NOW AND YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF DEMANDS ON YOUR TIME. I'M KIND OF WONDERING WHETHER.

YOU MIGHT HAVE THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM. WHETHER WE GET ENOUGH OF YOUR TIME. BUT TELL US. TELL US HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT TERRY'S QUESTION. I THINK IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION. AND ONE THING I JUST NOTICED THAT I DIDN'T END UP IN HERE, THAT I NOTICED THAT I WANTED TO DO IS DO A REVIEW IN SIX MONTHS OF HOW MANY HOURS ARE ACTUALLY BEING SPENT IN THE BUDGET TO HAVE THAT. AND MAYBE THERE'S A BETTER METHOD THAN WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE. THE REASON I PROPOSED WHAT I'VE DONE IS. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IT'S GOING TO BE A STRUGGLE FOR ME TO GIVE YOU 20 HOURS IN ANY WAY, AS WHEN I FIRST WAS APPROACHED, I SAID I WOULD PROBABLY DO 10 TO 15 MAX. AND SO THAT THAT 20 HOUR RATE INCREASE IS A SELF-PRESERVATION METHOD, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE. SO THIS IS RETROACTIVE, I BELIEVE. AND SO I WAS ASKED TO DO A FEW THINGS LAST WEEK THAT WERE TIME SENSITIVE, AND IT WAS ABOUT AS BUSY OF A WEEK AS I COULD THINK OF. RIGHT. AN ANNUAL REPORT MEETING WITH DEVELOPERS, AND IT WAS PAST 15 HOURS, SO I'M CONFIDENT THAT IT WON'T BE A BUDGET ISSUE IN TERMS OF GOING OVER 20 HOURS REGULARLY, PARTLY BECAUSE I CAN'T I DON'T HAVE THAT CAPACITY. AND I THE WHAT MARK SUGGESTED WORKS. I'M

[00:35:05]

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME PROTECTIONS SO THAT IF IT'S GOING TO BE BEYOND 20 HOURS, THAT EVERYBODY MYSELF, YOU AS A BOARD ARE THINKING ABOUT IT AND REALIZING THAT THERE'S A COST TO THAT. OKAY. VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. CATHERINE, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? HI.

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD EXCEPT FOR I'M EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF MY FRIEND AND WORK CLOSELY WITH BRAD. HE'S A JOY AND A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO. AND BEING INVOLVED WITH PBS IN THIS WORK IS ALSO REALLY INSPIRING. SO ANY ABILITY GIVE ME TO BOSS BRAD AROUND, I'M HERE FOR AS WELL. BUT NO, BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ROLE. SO THANK YOU. OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. AND I THINK THAT'S ONE THING ABOUT THIS IS WE GET CATHERINE WILL STILL BE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY. AND SO WE WE MARRY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A LITTLE CLOSER TO OUR AGENCY AS WELL TO HAVE SOME POSITIVE THINGS. WOULD YOU MIND IF ONE MORE THING? ON THAT NOTE, ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS WITH WHEN I WAS APPROACHED ABOUT THIS IS I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN ENCROACHING IN WHITE'S TERRITORY WEIGHTS, DOING A GOOD JOB. I DON'T WANT TO BE LINGERING BECAUSE I USED TO WORK HERE, AND MY CONCERN WAS IT'S HIS STAFF THAT NEEDS TO HELP CONTINUE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE AGENCY. AND SO I THINK HAVING CATHERINE IS AN INCREDIBLY SMART MOVE, BECAUSE IT IS BEING IN CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY IN THE CITY THAT I DIDN'T EVER SUPERVISE, OR SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CITY PUTTING THAT IN PLACE. JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT PUBLICLY AS WELL. SOUNDS GOOD. VERY GOOD. OKAY, FURTHER DISCUSSION BY LISTENING. TERRY DOES THAT. CAN WE KEEP AN EYE ON IT, YOU THINK? WELL, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO USE WE ARE GOING TO USE THE BUDGET OF VERY RAPIDLY, EVEN AT $15 A WEEK. I MEAN, YOU JUST RUN THE NUMBERS AND WE'RE DOUBLE OR TRIPLE WHAT WE BUDGETED. SO I'M JUST ASKING THE QUESTION AND I THINK MAYBE MARK OR WADE, WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING TO COME FROM. AT THAT RATE. SO WE'LL HAVE TO REOPEN THE BUDGET FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO READ. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT DISTRICT IS PAYING FOR IT RIGHT NOW. WE WOULD CHARGE THAT FOR COMMENTS, BUT WE COULD DO IT BASED ON REVENUE COLLECTION.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FROM THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, WHICH HAS 2.4 MILLION, UP TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST TO COVER THAT. BUT WE COULD DEFINITELY, FOR NEXT MONTH, GIVE YOU A PROJECTION OF WHAT IT WOULD BE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR BASED ON 15 OR 20 HOURS AND HOW WE WOULD ALLOCATE THAT TO ALL THE DISTRICTS. YEAH, AND IF IT'S DOABLE, IF IT'S ALLOCATED TO THE DISTRICTS AND WE CAN SEE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY COMING IN TO COVER THE COST. SO THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING IF WE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU. SO WHAT WOULD WE HAVE TO OPEN THE BUDGET AGAIN? OR DO WE JUST PUT THAT GREAT BIG NUMBER IN THE BUDGET AS A PLACEHOLDER IN CASE THE THE NEED GENERATES, YOU KNOW, THAT MUCH REQUIREMENT? BECAUSE THAT'S $177,000. IF YOU WERE 20 HOURS A WEEK FOR 52 WEEKS. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT. I JUST WONDER, HOW DO WE PUT THAT IN THE AGREEMENT AND KIND OF MAKE IT BLACK AND WHITE? SO THERE'S TWO WAYS TO DO THAT.

TECHNICALLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REOPEN THE BUDGET UNLESS YOU EXCEED ALL YOUR BUDGET AUTHORITY FOR ALL YOUR DISTRICTS. SOME DO IT ANYWAY JUST TO SHOW THAT THEY USUALLY DO IT IN SEPTEMBER AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE OVERSPENT THE YEAR BEFORE, REOPEN THE BUDGET FOR THE LAST MONTH AND THEN CLOSE IT JUST TO SHOW THE CHANGES FOR ME WHY I DO IT ON THE LAST MONTH, NOT DO IT AT ALL. BUT YOU HAVE THOSE TWO OPTIONS. OKAY. VERY GOOD. I MEAN, FROM MY PART, I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRACY MATTERS. THE ELECTION, THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT HOW WELL WE WERE DOING IN PLANNING AND ZONING, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY NEAR TO A LOT OF PEOPLE'S HEARTS. AND AND THE BUDGET, WE DID OUR BUDGET IN JULY BEFORE ALL OF THAT. AND SO THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT HAPPENS, LIKE YOU HAVE TO RESPONDING TO THE ELECTORATE, RESPONDING TO THE PEOPLE, TRYING TO DO BETTER TO RESPOND

[00:40:04]

NEXT, NEXT, NEXT I HAVE MY INITIAL COMMENT TO BRAD WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS IS WHEN DO WE START? AND SO THAT WAS THE ONE THING I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN TO HAVE THAT PREPARED OKAY. RIGHT.

RIGHT. SO SO IN GENERAL IT IT IS BASED ON THE LIKE THE REVENUES LIKE FROM EACH DISTRICT. AND SO IF WE'RE GOING TO AUGMENT THAT, WE COULD DO THAT PROPORTIONATELY SUBJECT TO THE, THE OPA'S AND THE DIFFERENT BUDGETS THAT WE'VE ALREADY COMMITTED FOR THAT YEAR.

WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. RIGHT. LIKE BRAD'S TIME WILL BE ALLOCATED IN THE SAME WAY, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WE DO. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION, I MEAN, WE HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE. IF THIS ENDS UP BEING TWO TIMES WHAT WE BUDGETED BACK IN AUGUST, THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE, RIGHT, MARK. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. DOES THAT ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS? IS THAT ALL THE DISCUSSION I WANT TO HAVE ON IT OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE TASK ORDER NUMBER 15. MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE TASK ORDER NUMBER. YOU SAY 15. THERE WE GO. DATED FEBRUARY 1ST, 2026. IS THERE A SECOND? YEP. THERE A SECOND. YEAH. OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. VERY GOOD. WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. WE KNOW WHICH LINE TO LOOK AT HERE ON THE BUDGET ACTUAL REPORT. AND MARK GIVES US EVERY MONTH. AND ALSO WE KNOW WHICH LINE TO LOOK AT ON THE MONTHLY REPORT. SO LET'S KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND SEE HOW IT GOES. BUT WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE CITY I THINK THEY GIVE US GIVE US A GOOD DEAL. THEY'RE TRYING TO SUPPORT US AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THEM. THE NEXT ACTION ITEM IS TO ACCEPT KATHERINE MCCLURE AND

[5. ACTION ITEM: Accept Catherine McClure as Agency Program Manager]

[00:45:01]

THANK YOU. THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. KATHERINE. ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM

[6. ACTION ITEM: Consider Resolution 26-01 to Approve the Eligibility Report for the Proposed Skyline/Broadway District]

EACH SUBAREA IS ELIGIBLE ON ITS OWN, JUST NOT NOT AS COMPLETELY, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF A NUMBER OF CRITERIA MET. A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AGREEMENT WOULD ADDRESS THOSE THREE DIFFERENT AREAS OR ALLOCATE FUNDS IN A DIFFERENT WAY. AND ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THE WHOLE THING WOULD BE JUST TREATED AS ONE DISTRICT. AND SO THOSE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS.

SO THE DISTRICT WOULD BE A SINGLE DISTRICT TO THE EXTENT THAT PROJECTS COME FORWARD, FOR EXAMPLE, IN SEVERAL AREA ONE, WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL BOUNDARY, IT WOULD BE LIKELY THAT AN OPA WOULD BE DEVELOPED WITH THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPER FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT AND REVENUES WOULD COME FROM. BUT THAT'S THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL. THAT'S SLP RIGHT? I MEAN THAT'S YEAH.

YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. PRETTY STANDARD. I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW MANY. MAYBE I'LL SKIM THROUGH THESE REAL QUICK AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING PARTICULAR NOTE. AND AGAIN, I'M HAPPY TO DO THE WHOLE THING. I JUST KNOW YOU HAVE A BUSY AGENDA. YEAH. YOUR VOLUNTEERS.

YEAH. SO MAYBE WHAT? I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS NOT IN THE REPORT, THIS IMAGE. SO MAYBE IF I JUST POINT OUT THIS ONE BECAUSE IT AFFECTS TWO DIFFERENT CRITERIA, BOTH DISTRICT PATTERN AND THE SAFETY ISSUES. AND THEN EACH OF THOSE RED DOTS REPRESENTS AN ACCESS POINT IN THIS KIND OF ON BROADWAY EITHER ARTERIALS. UNDER TODAY'S STANDARDS, THOSE SHOULD BE 660FT APART. THEY ARE IN SOME CASES CLOSER TO 10 OR 15FT APART. SO ONE IMAGE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE IN THE REPORT, AT LEAST TRY TO EXPLAIN HERE. I DID FIND THAT TO BE A. ELIGIBLE CRITERIA IN A COUPLE OF CASES. AND THE OTHER THING IS PROBABLY JUST SMALL IN THE REPORT.

THAT'S MAYBE MAKES A LITTLE MORE SENSE HERE IS IN THAT FILTHY LOT LAYOUT HERE IN THAT NORTHWEST PORTION OF WALGREENS, YOU HAVE ESSENTIALLY WHAT IS A SPIKE STRIP. THE PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN BLUE ARE UNDER ONE OWNERSHIP. THE PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED IS A DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP. IF YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THERE IS A STRIP OF LAND THAT BREAKS THOSE PIECES, WHICH IS A WHAT WE HAVE. SO OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS FAIRLY STANDARD. THERE'S A LOT OF ROCK TOPOGRAPHY DROP FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST. IT DROPS 36FT. AND YOU KNOW, THE PHOTOS IN THE IN THE REPORT. AND IT'S STILL WELL WITHIN THE 10% LIMITATION. I'M HAPPY TO JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE IF THAT'S WHAT YOU PREFER. THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD. ALL RIGHT. ANY YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THIS. RIGHT. JUST JUST QUICKLY ON ON SUBAREA ONE. AND WE WERE TOLD

[00:50:05]

COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION NUMBER 2020 6-01 BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO.

AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CHAIRMAN OR ADMINISTRATOR TO TRANSMIT THE REPORT AND THIS RESOLUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS REQUESTING ITS CONSIDERATION FOR DESIGNATION OF AN URBAN RENEWAL AREA AND SEEKING FURTHER DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. VERY GOOD. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THAT RESOLUTION? IS THERE A MOTION TO PASS THAT RESOLUTION? MR. CHAIR, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 2026, DASH ZERO ONE, AS WRITTEN OR AS READ. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SAY NAY. THAT MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT.

[7. ACTION ITEM: Review Draft of the Willow Creek Economic Feasibility Study for theProposed Willow Creek Project Area]

I TRIED WHAT I'LL PROBABLY HIGHLIGHT IS ADDRESSING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP LAST MONTH IN A VERY, VERY ROUGH DRAFT OF THIS REPORT. I JUST TAKEN IT ON FROM RENEE. AND SO IN PARTICULAR, WHAT I THINK I'LL COVER IS JUST THERE WAS A QUESTION THAT CAME UP ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE BUILDING PADS WOULD BE AREAS OF SHADOW ROCK, AND IF THAT WAS A POTENTIAL ELIGIBLE COST THAT THE DEVELOPER HAD NOT PROVIDED. AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION ABOUT UTILITIES THAT I'LL BRING UP AS WELL. SO EVERYTHING ELSE IS A PRETTY STANDARD REPORT THAT YOU SEE IN A LOT OF THESE FOR ME. SO JUST BEING ORIENTED TO THE AREA BOUNDARIES, NORTHWEST CORNER OR NORTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF HOLMES AND CENTER SCIENCE CENTER, ROUGHLY 100 ACRES. THIS SLIDE HERE, THIS IS THIS IS WHERE THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT FOUNDATIONS AND BLASTING FOR BUILDING PADS IS PROBABLY THE MOST RELEVANT. SO IF I SKIP AHEAD SLIDE YOU CAN SEE THE GEOTECH STUDY. I'M SORRY IT'S A LITTLE SMALL, BUT JUST NOTE THAT ANY OF THOSE NUMBERS YOU SEE IN RED, THAT'S WHERE ROCK IS MORE SHALLOW. ANYTHING GREEN IS SUFFICIENT DEPTH. SO IF I GO BACK TO THE MASTER PLAN, THERE ARE SOME SOME BUILDINGS THAT ARE WITHIN THE AREAS OF SHALLOW ROCK. SO THE THE BUILDING HERE IN PHASE TWO ON THE WEST IS AN APARTMENT BUILDING. AND THEN MOST OF THE BUILDINGS UP HERE IN THE NORTH. SO AT LEAST ON THE WEST, AS YOU COME HERE ON PHASE THREE, ON THE NORTHERN END, THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL BLASTING THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY NEED ASSISTANCE. WITHIN THE WITHIN AN OPA. THOSE SITES FOR DEVELOPMENT. ALONG WITH THAT, YOU'LL NOTE THAT IN THE MASTER PLAN, THERE ARE TWO PUBLIC STREETS WITH PUBLIC UTILITIES. THOSE ARE ON BOTH EAST AND WEST HERE ALONG THE CENTER OF THE SITE AND THEN TO THE SOUTH WEST ON SORT OF JOGS. DOWNTOWN, WHERE THEY'RE BOTH PROPOSED AS PUBLIC ROADS WITH PUBLIC UTILITIES. WHAT'S UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS IN TERMS OF THE AGENCY'S ASSISTANCE IS THAT ON THE NORTHERN END, AROUND PHASE THREE AND POTENTIALLY WITHIN PORTIONS OF PHASE TWO, THERE THERE ARE PRIVATE STREETS WITH PUBLIC UTILITIES AND PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S ANYTHING THE AGENCY HAS EVER EVEN SEEN

[00:55:06]

JUST THE CITY EXPENSES. I MEAN, WE'RE YOU KNOW, YOU GET 6.5 MILLION. I MEAN, CHANGING HOMES.

ANDERSON. INTERSECTION WOULD BE A BIG PROJECT. HOW HOW DOES THAT GET FUNDED? YEAH, IT'S TOUGH WHEN WHEN THOSE PROJECTS ARE THIS FAR OUT TO KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE GOING TO COST. SO I WOULD I SHOULD POINT OUT THESE ARE VERY MUCH PLACEHOLDER NUMBERS. IT'S LIKELY TO COST MORE THAN $3 MILLION TO DO THAT INTERSECTION. I WOULD SEE THIS AS A POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTOR TO THAT PROJECT. THE CITY MAY HAVE GRANTS. THE CITY MAY HAVE SOME OF ITS OWN FUNDS TO GO TOWARDS THINGS LIKE THAT, THROUGH IMPACT FEES OR, OR OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN CONSIDERED IN THIS. THESE ARE JUST PROJECTS THE CITY'S LAID OUT THAT THEY COULD USE FUNDING TOWARDS SOME FUTURE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION VERY WELL. RIGHT.

THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT A DEVELOPER CANNOT REALLY BE REQUIRED TO DO IS THEY'RE NOT CAN NOT IN THE PROJECT AREA. BUT WE'LL BE OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. RIGHT. THE WAY THE LAW READS

[01:00:02]

THERE WAS A WORK SESSION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND IT WAS MORE OF A STRATEGIC, LONG TERM PLANNING SESSION AS TO WHAT THE ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS ARE AND NEXT STEPS. AND I THINK TO TAKE THE ENTITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL, REALLY LOOKING AT HOW DO WE FUND SORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TYPE DUTIES, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS CONTRACT, WHICH HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT A RATE AS WELL UNDER MARKET RATE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS? AND THEN WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT HAVING MORE OF A WEB PRESENCE? AND SO IN HAVING THE DIALOG WITH THE MEMBERS, THERE IS SOMEWHAT OF A TWO STEP STRATEGY TO THIS THING. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST STEP IS LET'S MAKE SURE WE ARE FULLY FUNDING OUR CONTRACTS WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE ADVISORS. AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME, WORKING A BIT ON OUR ONLINE PRESENCE AND SOME OF THE, I DON'T WANT TO SAY MARKETING MATERIALS, BUT JUST INFORMATION THAT REALLY SUPPORTS THE WORK THAT URBAN RENAL AGENCIES DO STATEWIDE, REALLY TO SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL TYPE EFFORTS AND ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. AND THEN IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, MAYBE LOOK AT TRANSITIONING TO AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THAT ALSO FUNCTIONS AS A GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS TYPE ROLE. TO DO THIS, THERE WAS A REEVALUATION OF THE BUDGET AND THE BUDGET THE BOARD AUTHORIZED REQUESTING FUNDS FROM THE TEN LARGEST URBAN RENAL AGENCIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO SEE IF THERE'S JUST A WILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE SOME EXTRA FUNDING TOWARDS THESE INITIATIVES. ULTIMATELY, THE BUDGET FOR FY 27 IS GOING TO INCLUDE A CHANGE IN THE DUES STRUCTURE SO THAT WE CAN MEET THE BUDGETARY GOALS, BUT THESE FUNDS REPRESENT GETTING US THROUGH THIS CURRENT YEAR. OKAY, SO WHERE ARE WE? WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW AND WHAT IS IT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FURTHER HELP ON HOW MUCH? SO I DON'T KNOW IF MARK HAS HOW MUCH IF REPAID INDUCE. FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR IT MIGHT BE ABOUT 4500. SO THE REQUEST IS REALLY MORE ONE OF PASSING THE HAT IN TERMS OF IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THIS ENTITY IS WILLING TO DO TO SUPPORT THIS $60,000 BUDGET NEED OF THE ORGANIZATION? AND IT REALLY CAN BE ANY AMOUNT, I THINK, TO THE EXTENT A SPECIFIC AMOUNT IS REQUESTED, THE NUMBER THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS PROVIDED IS, WELL, IT'D BE GREAT IF THE TOP TEN COULD EACH PUT IN $6,000. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE REQUEST. IT'S CERTAINLY BY NO WAY MANDATORY. IT'S JUST A PASSING THE HAT TO TRY AND GET THIS ORGANIZATION TO THE NEXT LEVEL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY

[01:05:06]

COMMISSIONERS. AND I THINK I NEED TO STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT. THE MISSION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION OF IDAHO SINCE ITS INCEPTION REALLY HAS BEEN TO TRY AND GET EVERY SINGLE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY AS A MEMBER OF THE ORGANIZATION SO THAT THERE CAN BE A LOT OF A CLEARINGHOUSE OF INFORMATION THAT SUPPORTS EDUCATION, BEST PRACTICES, AND HOW TO BEST USE THE TOOL, AND IN LARGE PART, TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE LEGISLATIVE CRITICISM THAT HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, DIRECTED TOWARDS URBAN RENEWAL AGENCIES AND HOW THEY FUNCTION. SO AS PART OF THAT, THE DUES HAVE BEEN KEPT PRETTY LOW. AND OVER TIME THERE WAS THEIR GENERAL DUES, AND THEN THERE WAS A LEGISLATIVE DUES, FEES. NOW IT IS REALLY STRUCTURED AS ONE MEMBERSHIP IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET. SO JUST FOR EXAMPLE, LEGISLATIVE CONTRACTS I THINK FOR THE YEAR ARE NOW GENERALLY ABOUT $60,000 A YEAR. OUR LOBBY IS ORGANIZATION HAS REALLY DONE THEM. I THINK THE FIRST YEAR MAY HAVE BEEN AS LOW AS 12,000 OR 16,000, AND NOW IT'S 20,024. AND I THINK WE'RE WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE IF, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A RUN AT MAYBE REALLY TRYING TO CORRECT THE TOOL IN THE FUTURE IN TERMS OF AN OVERHAUL OF THE STATUTE OR CONTINUE TO PROTECT THE TOOL.

REALLY WANT TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AND FULLY FUND. AND SO TO DO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO SIGNIFICANT. AND THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY BEYOND BUDGET. I THINK THERE THE CONTRACT IS IN THE BUDGET. IT'S JUST THIS IS AN EFFORT TO FULLY COMPENSATE THEM FOR THE WORK AND THE HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK IN THE FUTURE MOVING FORWARD. BECAUSE GETTING SOMEONE UP TO SPEED ON URBAN RENEWAL AND THE TOOL AND HOW IT WORKS IS TIME CONSUMING.

AND SO THAT THAT'S PART OF IT. AND THEN THE OTHER PART IS JUST IT WAS A RESULT OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION, WHERE WE DO WANT TO FOCUS ON SOME OF THESE OTHER INITIATIVES,

[01:10:05]

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S GOOD. BUT WE HAVEN'T ANSWERED BRENT'S QUESTION. WE DON'T I MEAN, WE SUPPORT THIS ORGANIZATION, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE FIT IN, THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE WE ARE. WE DON'T KNOW HOW WE FIT BY ALLOCATION VERSUS ANYBODY ELSE. SO AND WE DON'T KNOW ANY FIRM NUMBER. IT'S JUST KIND OF IT WAS KIND OF A VAGUE REQUEST.

AND I MEAN, I THINK WE'RE WE'RE WILLING TO SUPPORT, BUT WE NEED SOME MORE. WE NEED THE ACTUAL NUMBERS AND, AND DETAIL. IT'S JUST HARD TO BE VAGUE ABOUT IT. AND WE KNOW IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY COMPLEX STATUTE. IT'S EASY FOR PEOPLE TO COME AROUND AND ATTACK IT, AND IT'S HARD TO RESPOND TO THAT. WE KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF WORK, BUT WE JUST NEED MORE. WE NEED MORE DATA, I GUESS IS WHAT I'M HEARING. AND I WOULD ADD TO THAT, I SUPPORT THAT ORGANIZATION FULLY. BUT I THINK SETTING AN EXPECTATION FOR THE FUTURE WOULD ALSO BE IMPORTANT FOR THIS BOARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR UPCOMING YEARS. IF THIS IS A ONE TIME CORRECTION, A ONE TIME FIX IS THE EXPECTATION, THEN THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN INCREASED DUES LEVEL IN LINE WITH WHAT THIS WHAT THIS FIX IS, YOU KNOW, BRINGING THIS FORWARD. SO IT'S MORE LIKE A $10,000 A YEAR DUES. WE NEED TO KNOW THAT JUST SO WE'RE ON TOP OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BUDGET FOR. AND WE KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT US. SO WHAT I'M HEARING IS WE'RE WE'RE WILLING TO PROVIDE MORE SUPPORT, BUT GIVE US SOME DATA. IT WAS JUST PRETTY VAGUE REQUEST AND WE NEED SOME MORE INFORMATION FOR NEXT MONTH. YEAH. NO PROBLEM. AND I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, THE SUPPORT OF THE WORK SESSION AND THE DISCUSSION AND HOW THE DUES ARE CURRENTLY ADMINISTERED. I HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION. HAPPY TO PROVIDE IT. OKAY.

LET'S PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT MONTH. AND LET'S LET'S GO OVER THAT. ALL RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS GOOD. WE'LL FOR ACTION ON THAT UNTIL WE GET SOME MORE INFORMATION. NUMBER NINE JUST

[9. DISCUSSION ITEM: Tentatively Approve the Draft of the 2025 Annual Report, Schedule Meeting to Take Public Comment and Authorize Publication of the Meeting Notice]

OR. OKAY, I JUST YEAH, I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO GET IT OVER. RIGHT. PERFECT. OKAY, IT'S BEEN UPDATED WITH THE NEW NUMBERS, UPDATED WITH THE NEW PROJECTS, UPDATED WITH NEW PICTURES. A LOT OF IT'S THE SAME AS WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST, BUT WITH UPDATED PROJECTS AND NUMBERS AND ALL OF THAT. ANY COMMENTS, ANY DISCUSSION OF THAT? ARE WE READY TO SCHEDULE OUT THE NEXT MONTH? WE HAVE TO SCHEDULE IT FOR NEXT MONTH, RIGHT? WHEN YOU WERE DOWN THE BONEYARD, DID THEY TELL YOU HOW MANY TRUCKLOADS OF THAT DEBRIS THEY WERE GOING TO HAUL OUT OF THERE? I SEE A LOT OF THOSE TRUCKS ON SUNNYSIDE. SHE DID, BUT SHE DIDN'T GIVE ME THE NUMBERS. BUT I'M TELLING YOU, IT IS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. SHE'LL GIVE YOU WHATEVER DATA Y'ALL WANT TO SEE. SO SHE'S SHE'S EXCITED. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE. IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS DRAFT SCHEDULE? NEXT MEETING TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AND AUTHORIZE PUBLICATION OF THIS. SO, MR. CHERRY, THIS WAS ACTUALLY JUST LISTED AS A DISCUSSION ITEM. SO WE WILL JUST GO AHEAD AND WITH YOUR. ASCENSION WE'LL GO AHEAD

[01:15:08]

[10. DISCUSSION ITEM: RAI and Legislative Update]

COMMISSIONER, THERE IS HOUSE BILL 670, WHICH IS BEEN INTRODUCED AS A CORRECTION TO THE BILL FROM LAST YEAR, HOUSE BILL 436, WHICH PROVIDED A PROCESS FOR FIRE AND AMBULANCE DISTRICT TO MAKE REQUESTS TO WITHDRAW FROM EXISTING REVENUE ALLOCATION DISTRICTS. IT ALSO PROVIDED A PATH FOR THEM TO OPT INTO FUTURE DISTRICTS. BUT THIS CLARIFICATION SEEKS TO REFINE SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT AN AGENCY HAS TO CONSIDER IN PERMITTING A WITHDRAWAL, AND SO ARGUABLY WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR FIRE AND AMBULANCE TO WITHDRAW FROM AN EXISTING DISTRICT. WITH THAT, I AM HEARING THAT THERE COULD BE A ANOTHER BILL RELATED TO AMENDMENTS TO THIS SECTION. WE'LL WAIT AND SEE IF IT'S INTRODUCED, BUT I EXPECT THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS SHORTLY. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE
