Sep 10, 2024 City Council

FIRST ONE IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD TO CONSIDER THE ISSUANCE OF SEWER REVENUE CAPITAL LOAN NOTES FOR THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $330 MILLION IN CONNECTION WITH THE WPCF PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS CONTRACT PROJECT TWO.

ROY I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU.

ROY HUSSMAN, UTILITIES DEPARTMENT.

[00:30:02]

GOOD AFTERNOON COUNCIL.

AT THE AUGUST 13TH, 2024 MEETING, COUNCIL APPROVED AWARDING CONSTRUCTION AWARDING A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $348,307,500 TO BOWEN ENGINEERING COMPANY FOR THE WPCF PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS.

CONTRACT TWO PROJECT.

THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT IS IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING THE AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS WITH BOWEN, AND CONSTRUCTION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN THIS MONTH.

AS DISCUSSED PRIOR TO AND DURING THE AWARD OF THIS PROJECT, THE CITY INTENDS TO UTILIZE CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND, OR SRF LOANS TO PAY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS PROJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SRF PROCEDURES.

A PUBLIC HEARING. PUBLIC HEARING IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION LOAN APPLICATION.

OUR LOAN SCHEDULE IS STRUCTURED ON SECURING MULTIPLE SEWER REVENUE CAPITAL LOAN NOTES UNDER THE SINGLE APPLICATION, BASED ON CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS IN EACH FISCAL YEAR, AND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FAVORABLE INTEREST RATES AS THEY CHANGE, AS RECOMMENDED BY OUR BOND COUNCIL, THE NOT TO EXCEED LOAN AMOUNT IS NORMALLY SET HIGHER THAN THE APPROVED PROJECT AMOUNT, WHICH INCLUDES DESIGN FEES, CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT TO ALLOW FOR FLUCTUATIONS FOR INFLATION AND AMENDMENTS TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

THIS GIVES THE CITY THE FLEXIBILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL REVENUE CAPITAL LOAN NOTES IF NEEDED WITHOUT FINANCING DELAYS.

THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION OF A LOAN AND DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENT, AND THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED $390 MILLION IN SEWER REVENUE. CAPITAL LOAN NOTES.

NO LOANS WILL BE ISSUED ABOVE THE PROJECT COST APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVING THE RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE MULTIPLE LOAN AND DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS AND THE ISSUE OF NOTES FOR THE WPC PROCESS IMPROVEMENT CONTRACT TWO PROJECT.

WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU, MAYOR, FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, ROY.

THIS IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL? IF SO, APPROACH THE MICROPHONE ON THE LECTERN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU LIVE FOR THE RECORD.

LET THE RECORD INDICATE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER HAS BEEN HELD, WITH NO OBJECTIONS SHOWN IN THE RECORD.

THAT BRINGS US TO ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION.

COUNCIL MEMBER SCOTT OLSON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO TEM ROY.

JUST A COUPLE ITEMS. AND YOU DID DO THIS IN YOUR PRESENTATION.

BUT BEFORE, AGAIN, THE STATE PROGRAM WE JUST SELECTED OVER THE FEDERAL PROGRAM TO FUND THIS.

AND COULD YOU JUST REMIND US, I THINK WE'RE GETTING A VERY FAVORABLE INTEREST RATE AND THEN THE LENGTH OF THE PAYMENTS AND HOW IS THIS FUNDED AND IMPACT OUR UTILITY RATES? SURE. SO, THE SRF IS ADMINISTERED BY THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

THE INTEREST RATE VARIES ON A QUARTERLY BASIS.

IT'S A SUB PRIME INTEREST RATE, AND CURRENT INTEREST RATE IS 3.68 FOR ANYTHING OVER 20 YEARS.

SO MOST OF THIS NOTE WILL BE 30 YEARS OR PERHAPS LESS THAN 30.

AND AS WE PROCEED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION, WE WILL TAKE THOSE LOANS OUT AS NEEDED.

IF BY CHANCE WE'RE ABLE TO DO A SMALLER YEAR OR A SMALLER PIECE THAT'S ACTUALLY LESS THAN 20 YEARS ON A 20 YEAR NOTE, THEN THAT INTEREST RATE WILL DROP BY ONE FULL PERCENT.

IN FACT THE UTILITY.

SO OVERALL IT AS WE EVALUATED THE UTILITY RATES, IT HAS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME RATE IMPACTS AS WHAT WE HAVE SEEN HISTORICALLY IN THE PAST IN THE SAME GENERAL BALLPARK AS THOSE RATE INCREASES THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, IT SHOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU COUNCIL.

SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY SCOTT OLSON, SECONDED BY TYLER OLSON.

AYE, AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

THANK YOU. A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER THE VACATION OF 0.20 ACRE UTILITY EASEMENT ADJACENT TO RECENTLY VACATED OLD

[2. A public hearing will be held to consider the vacation of a 0.201-acre utility easement adjacent to recently vacated Old Bridge Road between the Cedar Rapids & Iowa City Railway crossing and 68th Avenue SW as requested by Iowa Land and Building Company (Rob Davis). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #EASE-000620-2024]

BRIDGE ROAD BETWEEN CEDAR RAPIDS AND IOWA CITY RAILWAY, CROSSING AT 68TH AVENUE SOUTHWEST, AS REQUESTED BY THE IOWA LAND AND BUILDING

[00:35:05]

COMPANY. ROB, I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND PRO TEM AND CITY COUNCIL ROB DAVIS WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS A PROJECT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.

IT WAS IT'S COMING A LITTLE PIECEMEAL BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY PREVIOUSLY TO GET OLD BRIDGE ROAD VACATED TO ACCOMMODATE THE GOOGLE DATA CENTER, AND THIS IN PARTICULAR IN GREEN, WHERE THE SUBSTATION WOULD GO.

THIS AREA ON OLD BRIDGE ROAD FROM 68TH AND UP TO THE CRADOCK RAILROAD IS CROSS-HATCHED.

AND THE EAST WEST DIRECTION AND NORTH SOUTH WAS PREVIOUSLY VACATED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.

THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT THAT'S NOT UNDER THE FOOTPRINT OF THE SUBSTATION, WHICH ALSO NEEDS TO BE VACATED.

THERE ARE NO UTILITIES IN THERE, BUT WE DO NEED TO RELOCATE THAT EASEMENT ALONG WITH THE ROAD THAT WILL BE DEDICATED AT A FUTURE TIME. SO HIS TEN FOOT EASEMENT REALLY, AGAIN, IT'S MORE PROCEDURAL SINCE NOTHING'S IN THERE.

BUT WE DO WANT TO CLEAR THAT REST OF THAT CORRIDOR, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT UNDERNEATH THE SUBSTATION, AS I MENTIONED.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE CONVEYANCE.

THANK YOU. ROB.

THIS IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO ADDRESS COUNCIL ON THIS MATTER? IF SO, PLEASE APPROACH A MICROPHONE ON THE LECTERN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU LIVE FOR THE RECORD.

LET THE RECORD INDICATE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER HAS BEEN HELD, WITH NO OBJECTIONS SHOWN FOR RECORD.

THAT BRINGS US TO ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS OR CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY MAYOR, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER VANORNY.

AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER PROPOSED PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, FORM OF CONTRACT AND ESTIMATED COSTS FOR THE LIGHT LINE LOOP PROJECT.

[3. A public hearing will be held to consider the proposed plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the LightLine Loop project (estimated cost is $12,320,000) (Ken DeKeyser). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #3018030-02]

ESTIMATED COST IS 12,320,000.

KEN, I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

KEN KAISER WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND ADAM LINDENLAUB WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OF THE OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT.

IT IS SPLIT UP INTO FOUR MAIN ELEMENTS OF A ROUNDHOUSE BUILDING, SOME GATEWAYS, PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING LOTS BEHIND CZECH VILLAGE, AS WELL AS A B STREET AND 18TH AVENUE WITHIN THE SITE.

THE PROJECT WILL BID ON SEPTEMBER 25TH.

WE ANTICIPATE CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN NEXT SPRING WITH A SPECIFIED COMPLETION DATE OF JULY 31ST OF 2026.

OUR COST OPINION IS 12.32 MILLION, WHICH INCLUDES A $3 MILLION DESTINATION IOWA GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE, PER A 2023 AGREEMENT, AS WELL AS FISCAL YEAR 2024 THROUGH 2026.

TIF BONDS.

THE PROJECT IS A COUNCIL PRIORITY FOR RECREATIONAL AND CULTURAL AMENITIES, AND IT IS THE FIRST GOAL LISTED ON THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR THE APPROVED CZECH VILLAGE NEWBO AREA ACTION PLAN. WE DID CONDUCT SEVERAL PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETINGS.

WE HAD THEM DURING THE PRELIMINARY STAGE OF THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT IN JULY OF 2023.

WE HAD SOME FINAL PLAN DISCUSSION IN 2024, AND THEN WE HAD A COUNCIL UPDATE PRESENTATION IN SEPTEMBER 2023.

AND THERE WAS ALSO CONTINUING PUBLIC INPUT THROUGH OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CZECH VILLAGE ASSOCIATION ABOUT THE PARKING LOT, AS WELL AS WITH INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS, AS WE TALKED ABOUT OBTAINING TEMPORARY EASEMENTS AND THEN ANY OTHER CONCERNS THEY MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE PROJECT.

THE SLIDES YOU'RE GOING TO SEE HERE ARE WHAT WE'VE SHOWN IN OUR LAST APRIL PRESENTATION.

SO YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THESE BEFORE IF YOU'VE BEEN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS ONE, BUT THE IMAGE HERE SHOWS AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT.

WE HAVE SOME AREAS OF THAT ARE SHADED IN WHITE AND THEY SAY NOT INCLUDED WITH PROJECT.

THE FIRST ONE HERE THAT'S CLOSEST TO THE CEDAR RIVER IS PART OF THE GREENWAY PROJECT.

SO ANY WORK THERE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURE GREENWAYS.

THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT AREN'T NOTED HERE ALONGSIDE THE RIVER.

COULD BE CONCEIVABLY THE KAYAK LAUNCH AND TRAILHEAD AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS WOULD BE AS PART OF THE GREENWAY PROJECT, NOT PART OF THE LIGHT LINE LOOP.

ALSO, YOU CAN SEE PROXIMITY TO THE LIGHT LINE BRIDGE.

THAT'S AN UPCOMING BID FOR THIS FALL, AND THAT'S SHOWN HERE IN THE UPPER RIGHT OF THE IMAGE.

THIS SHOWS THE OTHER ELEMENTS CALLED IT.

THIS SHOW IS THE DUTCH TERM FOR LIVING ROADWAY.

THAT WAS MORE OF A DESIGN USE TERM.

[00:40:01]

THAT IS NOT WHAT WE'RE CALLING IT, A MOVING FORWARD INTO CONSTRUCTION, BUT THAT IS A MULTI-PURPOSE, MULTI-USE ROADWAY AS WELL AS THE GATEWAYS, THE PROMENADE THAT EXTENDS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE LIGHT LINE LOOP PROJECT INTO CZECH VILLAGE.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME AREAS HERE ALSO SHADED WHITE THAT ARE RESERVED FOR SOME FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND THERE'S ALREADY SOME DEVELOPER INTEREST ON THOSE.

SO ONCE WE GET THE LIGHT LINE LOOP PROJECT BUILT, THEN THOSE WILL BE READY TO DEVELOP FURTHER.

HERE'S AN OVERVIEW OF THE SITE PLAN.

AGAIN JUST A DIFFERENT VIEW SHOWING OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE EXTENDING ALL THE WAY FROM 21ST AVENUE ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN, ALL THE WAY INTO CZECH VILLAGE TO 16TH AVENUE AND THEN THE RECONSTRUCTED PARKING LOT.

INDICATED BY LETTER K.

THE ROUNDHOUSE BY LETTER A, AND THEN SOME.

THE IMPROVEMENTS TO 18TH AVENUE HERE, STARTING WITH THE ELEMENTS HERE OF THE ROUNDHOUSE.

THIS IS THE REIMAGINED VERSION OF THE ROUNDHOUSE OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING THAT WE'VE HAD FOR MANY YEARS, SINCE 1960S, BUT WAS UNFORTUNATELY DESTROYED IN THE 2008 FLOOD. THIS ROUNDHOUSE WILL HAVE THE YEAR-ROUND USE.

IT CAN SEAT UP TO 197 PEOPLE, AND IT CAN BE PROGRAMED FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE ORIGINAL ROUNDHOUSE WAS USED FOR WAS A TRADITIONAL FARMERS MARKET THAT CERTAINLY COULD BE TRIED HERE, AS WELL AS OTHER PROGRAMED EVENTS.

AT THE TIME THAT THIS IS CONSTRUCTED, THE PROGRAMING AND, AND THAT WOULD BE WITH, WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION TO DO THE PROGRAMING AND THEN FACILITIES WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE BUILDING.

THERE'S SOME THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS THAT WE POINT OUT HERE IN OUR BULLETED LIST INCLUDE THE ARCHED DOORWAYS THAT CAN ALL OPEN OUT TO GIVE IT MORE OF AN OPEN AIR FEEL.

THERE YOU CAN NOTICE, TOO, THAT THEY HAVE RECESSED DOORS AND CANOPY FOR THE ELEMENTS, SO YOU CAN STILL KEEP THEM OPEN IN CASE YOU KNOW OF A LIGHT RAIN.

IT'S GOT A NICE ORIENTATION TO THE REST OF THE LIGHT LINE LOOP SYSTEM.

A FULL CATERING KITCHEN AND AN AUDIO-VISUAL SYSTEM FOR EVENTS.

THERE IS SOME RESTROOMS WITHIN THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS THERE IS A SMALLER ANNEX BUILDING ON THE OUTSIDE TO THAT INCLUDES RESTROOMS. HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW OF THE ROUNDHOUSE.

WE SHOW THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE, BUILT FROM 1963 AND THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE SCREEN.

THIS KIND OF SHOWS WHAT THE LAYOUT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

SO IN GREEN, YOU'LL SEE THIS IS THE SEATING OR THE MULTI-USE AREA FOR VARIOUS EVENTS.

AND IN PURPLE THERE IS THE CATERING KITCHEN.

AND THEN WE HAVE, RESTROOMS SHOWN HERE WITH THE YELLOW SHADING WITHIN THE BUILDING, AND THEN RESTROOMS WITHIN THE ANNEX BUILDING AND THEN VARIOUS, YOU KNOW, WE GOT MECHANICAL AND OTHER STORAGE FOR EQUIPMENT HERE.

THE SECOND MAIN ELEMENT OF LIGHT LINE LOOP IS THE B STREET AND PROMENADE.

SO THIS IS THE MULTI-USE ROADWAY.

IT'S ONE DAY IT COULD BE USED JUST AS A REGULAR ROAD.

AND THEN DURING EVENTS THERE ARE SEVERAL BOLLARDS SYSTEMS THAT CAN BE INSTALLED AND THEN THE AREA CAN BE CLOSED OFF FOR PEDESTRIANS.

PROGRAMED EVENTS LIKE FOOD TRUCK EVENTS.

SO THERE'S LIGHTING THROUGHOUT.

PEDESTRIAN LEVEL LIGHTING AND ESTHETIC LIGHTING, AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR VARIOUS VENDORS AND OTHER EVENT PEOPLE TO CONNECT TO. AND AGAIN THIS COULD BE USED FOR ANY NUMBER OF THINGS.

AND IT HAS A CONNECTION TO OUR TRAIL NETWORK.

THAT CONTINUES TOWARD THE LIGHT LINE BRIDGE.

THESE ARE THE GATEWAYS THAT WILL BE FEATURED AT THE ENDS OF THE PROMENADE.

THEY HAVE A IMAGERY THAT'S EVOCATIVE OF CZECH HERITAGE.

THERE'S ALSO ROOM ON THESE FOR TEXT.

IF WE WANTED TO, TO PUT ANY KIND OF A GATEWAY LANGUAGE ON THERE.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DETERMINED AT A LATER POINT.

EXACTLY WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SHOW THERE.

AND THEY ALSO WOULD BE ILLUMINATED TOO.

THIS IS THE PARKING LOT.

SO, THIS IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EXISTING PARKING LOT BEHIND CZECH VILLAGE.

IT'S GOING TO BE EXPANDED GREATLY FROM A CURRENTLY 58 SPACES TO OVER 100, ALSO INCLUDING SOME OF THE ON STREET PARKING.

IN GENERAL, IT'S GOING TO BE AN IMPROVED IMPROVEMENT OVER WHAT'S THERE NOW WITH THE FLOW THROUGH THE LIGHT LINE LOOP.

AND THERE'S GOING TO BE AN INCREASE OF LANDSCAPING AND TREES.

AND WE'RE PRESERVING A NUMBER OF THE EXISTING TREES AS WELL.

HERE'S SOME JUST AN EXAMPLE OF CONSTRUCTION STAGING.

YOU KNOW, FOR A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DONE UNDETECTED.

THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME NOISE AND SOME CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC COMING IN AND OUT OF THE AREA.

SO, LIKE ALL OF OUR OTHER PROJECTS, WE DO HAVE PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE STAGING PLANS FOR EACH STAGE OF THE PROJECT.

WE PROVIDE ALL THE BUSINESS SIGNAGE AND GOOD GUIDANCE FOR THE PUBLIC.

[00:45:02]

WE WILL HAVE PERIODIC MEETINGS WITH THE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION, AS WELL AS ANYBODY ELSE WHO NEEDS ASSISTANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BUSINESSES CAN BE ACCESSED AT ALL TIMES, AND THAT PEOPLE ARE WELL INFORMED OF THE CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY AND THEN UPCOMING STAGING THAT MIGHT BE OCCURRING.

AND WITH THAT, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVING RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THESE PLANS.

KEN. THIS IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER.

DOES ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISH TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON THIS MATTER? IF SO, PLEASE APPROACH THE MICROPHONE ON THE LECTERN AND STATE YOUR NAME AND WHERE YOU LIVE.

FOR THE RECORD.

LET THE RECORD INDICATE THAT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS MATTER HAS BEEN HELD WITH ZERO OBJECTIONS SHOWN IN THE RECORD.

THAT BRINGS US TO ANY COUNCIL COMMENTS OR CONSIDERATION.

COUNCIL MEMBER VANORNY.

THANKS MAYOR PRO TEM.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN UNDERLYING THREAD OF LOSS AND HEALING IN CEDAR RAPIDS.

AND AS A CZECH PERSON, FIFTH GENERATION CZECH FAMILY WHO'S BEEN IN THE SAME AREA THAT MY FAMILY CAME FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC WITH THIS IS NOT LOST ON ME.

WHEN I STARTED ON COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, WE HADN'T RECEIVED ANY FLOOD PROTECTION DOLLARS.

AND SO WE WERE STILL VERY MUCH IN THIS PHASE WHERE WE WERE JUST TRYING TO HEAL, TO TRY AND TO GET OUR BARRIERS UP SO THAT WE COULD PREVENT ANY, YOU KNOW, MORE HARM FROM COMING FROM THE FLOODS.

AND CERTAINLY IN MY LIFETIME ALONE.

YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER THE HARM THAT THE FLOOD OF 93 HAPPENED, THAT 2008, THE DEVASTATION THAT CAME TO SO MANY LOW-LYING PARTS OF CEDAR RAPIDS THEN AND THEN 2016 AND 2018, AND THEN WE HAD OUR DERECHO.

AND I KNOW THAT THAT SOUNDS EXASPERATING, BUT WE'RE FINALLY AT THE POINT WHERE WE'VE DONE ENOUGH OF THAT HARD WORK, THAT INVESTMENT THAT WE GET TO DO INCREDIBLE PROJECTS LIKE THIS. AND EVERY SINGLE PART OF IT IS INCREDIBLE.

I REMEMBER BEING AT THE CZECH MUSEUM WITH MAYOR PRO TEM POE, AND WE WERE TALKING AND REALLY JUST NERDING OUT ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBILITIES.

AND AS A FELLOW CZECH PERSON, WE WERE JUST EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE GET TO RECLAIM THIS AREA BECAUSE I TEASE COUNCIL MEMBER TODD ALL THE TIME THAT IT'S NOT IN MY DISTRICT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS IN MY HEART.

BUT THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE.

THE WHICH I KNOW THAT PEOPLE WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THAT THE PROMENADE.

THAT WILL BE THE USE OF THE ROUNDHOUSE.

I THINK I'VE HEARD ABOUT THAT LONG BEFORE I JOINED COUNCIL, BUT ALSO COUPLING THIS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LONG TERM PLANS THAT THE CZECH MUSEUM HAS AS WELL, FOR EXPANSION AND REALLY RECLAIMING THE HISTORY OF CEDAR RAPIDS AND THE ROOTS OF IT.

THIS IS SIGNIFICANT.

AND WE DO THINGS HARD, YOU KNOW, HARD THINGS ALL DAY AT THE CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS AND ALL OF THEM ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, COMPOUNDING.

BUT THIS IS A REALLY BIG MOMENT WHERE WE GET TO RECLAIM THIS SPACE THAT HAS REALLY SAT VACANT SINCE THOSE FLOOD WATERS TOOK OVER AND REALLY TORE IT APART.

AND I JUST I'M SO DARN HAPPY.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE REBUILDING, BUT BOY, ARE WE EVER.

AND THIS IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT.

SO I JUST AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT AND WEIGHED IN ON THAT.

AND HAVING FINALLY BEEN TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND EVEN SEEN THE VILLAGE THAT MY FAMILY CAME FROM FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THESE BOHEMIAN THEMES IN THE ARTWORK AND EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D SEE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC, AND I AM SO GLAD THAT WE GET TO BUILD ON THAT MOMENTUM FOR THIS PART OF TOWN. SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK ON THIS REALLY STRONG WORK.

COUNCIL MEMBER TODD.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK ANNA MENTIONED THE CZECH VILLAGE NEWBO ACTION PLAN IN 2019.

THOSE WERE PAINFUL MEETINGS.

SOME OF THOSE MEETINGS AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE.

SO RIGHT AFTER THE PEN.

SO SUWALSKI.

WHO WAS IT? JENNIFER. DO YOU KNOW WHO DID THE ORIGINAL PLAN RIGHT AFTER? THANK YOU.

YES. YOU KNOW AND SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT HOW LONG IN TERMS OF HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO, TO GO FROM VISION TO FUNDING TO ENGINEERING TO IMPLEMENTATION.

I MEAN, A LOT OF THESE CONCEPTS WERE IN THAT INITIAL PLAN.

YOU'RE TALKING 16 YEARS.

AND I REMEMBER THE ROUNDHOUSE, I WAS IN CHARGE OF IT AS PARKS COMMISSIONER.

THIS IS A FOR THOSE THAT THAT THAT FOUGHT AGAINST US REPLACING IT.

[00:50:05]

THIS WILL BE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT.

AND I JUST MAKE THE ANALOGY TO THOSE THAT CRITICIZED US TO A DEGREE, FOR WHAT WE DID AT THE ELLIS CLUBHOUSE.

NOW, THAT IS A VERY ACTIVE, FUNCTIONAL, EXCITING PLACE.

AND SOME OF US THOUGHT MAYBE IT MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY WORK THAT WAY, BUT IT'S ALONG THE LINES OF IF YOU BUILD IT, YOU KNOW PEOPLE WILL USE IT.

SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE STAFF SOME CREDIT FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND THEIR COMMITMENT OF TIME AND ENERGY TO REALLY MARSHAL THIS PLAN THROUGH ALL THE PROCESSES TO GET TO THE POINT THAT IT IS TODAY.

AND SO, KEN, CONGRATULATIONS FOR INHERITING IT TO A DEGREE.

BUT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GOOD, GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER OLSON.

THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM I THIS IT'S AN EXCITING TIME TO SEE SOME OF THESE THINGS COMING TO FRUITION THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE.

AND BUT I THINK THE MAIN THING THAT I WANTED TO JUST ADD TO THE CONVERSATION IS HAVING HELPED SEVERAL BUSINESSES IN THAT AREA AND HAVE A COUPLE NEW BUSINESSES WE'RE WORKING WITH TO GO INTO THAT AREA.

CONSTRUCTION OF THIS SCALE, LOSS OF THE PARKING IS DIFFICULT FOR START UP BUSINESSES OR EXISTING BUSINESSES TO HANDLE.

AND SO YOU LAID OUT A PLAN.

AND WE'VE WATCHED ON SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN THE BRIDGE WAS BEING WORKED ON AND BUSINESS CLOSED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER BECAUSE OF THE STREET CONSTRUCTION JUST RECENTLY.

AND SO I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT OUR PLAN TO HAVE ACCESS AND TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO COME DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S A HEAVY AREA WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF VISITORS TO THAT AREA AND THEY GET IF THEY RUN ACROSS BARRICADES AND OTHER TYPES OF THINGS, THEY JUST DON'T STOP.

AND SO I THINK THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I THINK YOU SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE IN ONE YEAR OR NOT.

IT DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER.

BUT I THINK I JUST WANT TO STRESS, AND I'VE SEEN YOU WORK ON THAT, THAT WE HAVE TO DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF SIGNAGE, WORKING WITH THE BUSINESSES SO THEY CAN TELL THEIR CLIENTS BECAUSE WE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED THESE START UPS, SMALL BUSINESSES, AND THIS TYPE OF PROJECT DOES CAUSE PAIN FOR THOSE BUSINESSES, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT IS.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO REEMPHASIZE THAT HOW IMPORTANT THAT PLAN IS, THAT YOU HAVE TO STAGE THE CONSTRUCTION TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO THESE BUSINESSES. BECAUSE IN TODAY'S WORLD, THIS TYPE OF PROJECT CAN TAKE A BUSINESS UNDER.

SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WHENEVER WE GET THAT CONTRACTOR PICKED, THAT THEY ALSO KNOW THAT IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SIGNAGE AND WORKING TO KEEP THOSE BUSINESSES ACTIVE. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS, KEN.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT THE NAME OF THE WOONERF IS JUST AN ACTIVE WORKING NAME.

WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A REALLY GREAT CZECH NAME.

PERHAPS THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

ALSO, WHEN YOU'RE COMMUNICATING, MAKE SURE YOU'RE ALSO REACHING OUT TO THE CZECH VILLAGE, NEW BOHEMIA SCHMID AS PROPERTY OWNERS, THEY HAVE A LOT INVESTED IN THAT AREA.

AND THEY CAN ALSO HELP DISSEMINATE INFORMATION.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE PROMENADE BETWEEN SAKURA'S AND CHECK TOWN STATION.

I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE TILES THAT ARE THERE.

SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME.

THEY'RE HISTORIC IN NATURE.

ARE WE PLANNING ON REPLACING THOSE TILES? AND WHAT ARE WE PLANNING ON DOING WITH THOSE TILES IN THAT AREA? THE PLAN IS TO TAKE COLLECT THEM AND HAVE THEM.

WE ARE GOING TO BRING THEM BACK TO THE ASSOCIATION FOR, YOU KNOW, FURTHER DISPOSITION, WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM.

BUT THERE WERE SOME THINGS, INCLUDING THE TILES AND A KIOSK AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE PART OF THE REMOVAL PLAN THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE.

THEY'RE NOT JUST GOING TO BE GOTTEN RID OF.

WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING THOSE AND PRESERVING THEM AND THEN FIGURING OUT WHERE TO INCORPORATE THEM.

THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE PUBLIC ART SPACES OR SOME OTHER THINGS.

WE HAD A QUESTION DURING THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT IS LIKE, ARE THERE PIECES OF THE ROUNDHOUSE, THE ORIGINAL ROUNDHOUSE GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE NEW ROUNDHOUSE? AND WE SAID, NO, THERE WEREN'T, BUT AGAIN, THERE WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY, MAYBE WITH THE PUBLIC ART IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT.

SO GREAT. THAT'S THE INTENT.

YEAH. WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS WHOLE PROJECT IS GOING TO BE TRANSFORMATIONAL TO THE CZECH VILLAGE AREA, BUT ALSO THE NEWBO AREA, NEW BOHEMIA AREA, WITH THE CONNECTION WITH THE LIGHT LINE LOOP THROUGH ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND MANY OF THOSE PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETINGS WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

AND I'M REALLY PROUD, REALLY PROUD OF HOW YOU, THE TEAM, LISTENED TO WHAT THEY WANTED AND WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE APPROPRIATE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC AREA.

[00:55:02]

SO THE FACT THAT WE'VE GOT THE ARCHES WITH CALLBACK TO HERITAGE CZECH AND SLOVAK HERITAGE, I THINK IS REALLY HUGE.

OF COURSE, THE PROMENADE GOING DOWN TO THE, YOU KNOW, OVERDUE AND LONG AWAITED ROUNDHOUSE IS GOING TO BE WONDERFUL.

AND THEN THE EVENT SPACE AND THEN OF COURSE, EVENTUALLY ALL THE ADDITIONAL PARKING THAT WE NEED IN THAT AREA.

SO IT TOOK A LOT OF WORK.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CZECH VILLAGE ASSOCIATION FOR THEIR WORK.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AUTHORITY FOR HELPING US WITH THE MONEY, AND CERTAINLY OUR TEAM.

YOU TOO, ALONG WITH JENNIFER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS.

I KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S HOW MUCH YOU'VE DONE.

SO REALLY GRATEFUL BECAUSE THIS REALLY IS GOING TO BE AN AMAZING, AMAZING SPACE TO FURTHER TO FURTHER SUPPORT THOSE VIBRANT HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL ATTRACT, I THINK, VISITORS FROM ACROSS THE MIDWEST.

SO CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS. REALLY HAPPY.

OBVIOUSLY I'M STRONGLY IN SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROJECT.

SO, WITH THAT SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY TODD, SECONDED BY VANORNY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO, AND THE MOTION CARRIES.

[01:00:05]

CHARITY TYLER.

NOW WE'VE GOT YOU. COME ON UP.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ITEM 16 Z OR 23.

I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR OUR CEDAR RAPIDS PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION AND BIG DREAMS LLC.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

I'M CHARITY TYLER.

I'M HERE TODAY TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR REZONING REQUEST FOR THE LAND ON WHICH A NEW WEST SIDE LIBRARY WILL BE BUILT.

FROM FREE PUBLIC COMPUTERS AND LIBRARY PROGRAMS TO RESUME WORKSHOPS AND JOB FAIRS AT OUR OPPORTUNITY CENTER.

THE LADD LIBRARY HAS BEEN HEAVILY USED AND WELL LOVED FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.

OUR LADD LIBRARY CURRENTLY SERVES MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY.

WHEN OUR NEW WEST SIDE LIBRARY OPENS ITS DOORS, WE EXPECT THESE NUMBERS TO TRIPLE.

A LARGER CHILDREN'S LIBRARY WITH A DEDICATED CHILDREN'S PROGRAMING ROOM WILL ALLOW FOR MORE FREQUENT CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG FAMILIES.

A NEW TEEN LIBRARY WITH A DEDICATED TEEN COMPUTER AREA WILL WELCOME GROWING YOUNG ADULTS AND WILL ALLOW FOR MORE DEDICATED MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS. AND LIKE THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY, THE WESTSIDE LIBRARY'S NEW CONFERENCE AND LEARNING CENTER WILL OFFER EQUITABLE ACCESS TO FREE SPACE FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WANTING TO HOST BABY SHOWERS, BIRTHDAY PARTIES, EMPLOYEE TRAININGS, AND MORE.

WHEN COMPLETE, THE NEW WESTSIDE LIBRARY CAMPUS WILL CREATE A COMMUNITY HUB LIKE NO OTHER IN THE AREA.

WITH YOUR APPROVAL, YOU'RE SETTING A STAGE FOR THE TRANSFORMATIONAL PROJECT IN THE WESTDALE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE'RE SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THE IMPACT THAT THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

NEXT, WE HAVE ELIZABETH HEPWORTH.

THANK YOU. MY NAME IS ELIZABETH HEPWORTH.

934 ROLLING CREEK DRIVE NORTHEAST.

JUST A SMALL CORRECTION THAT I GET ALL MY LIFE.

SO DON'T FEEL INCONVENIENCE THERE.

AND I'M HERE TODAY AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CEDAR RAPIDS PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

BUT I'M ALSO A MOM AND AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY MEMBER.

ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE WEST SIDE LIBRARY PROJECT AND ALL LIBRARY SERVICE, FOR THAT MATTER, IN CEDAR RAPIDS. OVER THE YEARS, YOU'VE DEMONSTRATED A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE POWER OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, AND BECAUSE OF YOUR SUPPORT, WE HAVE AN AMAZING AWARD-WINNING LIBRARY IN OUR CITY CENTER.

HOW EXCITING THAT WE'RE COLLECTIVELY ON THE PRECIPICE OF BUILDING THIS NEW LIBRARY ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN.

AS A PARENT, I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO HER FIRST STORYTIME AT THE NEW WEST SIDE LIBRARY, AND WHAT A RELIEF TO KNOW THE ADJOINING PARK WILL ALLOW HER TO EXPEL EVEN MORE ENERGY. THE OPPORTUNITIES THIS NEW LIBRARY WILL OFFER TO RESIDENTS ON THE WEST SIDE AND ACROSS THE COMMUNITY, ARE TRANSFORMATIONAL.

SPACE FOR A LARGER CHILDREN'S COLLECTION MEANS MORE CHILDREN WILL HAVE ACCESS TO BOOKS.

ADDITIONAL MEETING SPACE MEANS NOT ONLY AMPLE SPACE FOR BUSINESS MEETINGS, CLASSES AND TRAININGS, AS CHARITY MENTIONED, BUT IT'S MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO FREELY GATHER AND CELEBRATE, LEARN, AND CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER.

A YOUNG ADULT LIBRARY WILL SERVE AS A SAFE AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR TEENS TO SOCIALIZE, STUDY, AND EXPLORE THEIR VERY OWN COLLECTION OF LIBRARY BOOKS ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN. SO MUCH OF WHO I AM TODAY I OWE TO THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

THE LIBRARY HAS TAUGHT ME THE VALUE OF SHARED RESOURCES, THAT THERE'S WONDER THAT COMES ALONG WITH POSSIBILITY, AND IT'S EASY SOMETIMES TO ASK FOR HELP. THIS NEW LIBRARY WILL BE THAT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF CEDAR RAPIDS, IT'S A MEMORY THEY'LL HOLD CLOSE WHEN THEY THINK OF WHAT A LIBRARY MEANS TO THEM, BUT ALSO WHEN THEY THINK OF HOME.

SO THANK YOU FOR HELPING MAKE THIS SHARED BIG DREAM A REALITY.

THANK YOU, ELSPETH.

ALL RIGHT. THAT CLOSES OUT OUR PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

NOW WE CAN MOVE ON.

[MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA]

THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU, JEFF COUNCIL.

ANY QUESTIONS? MAYOR. JEFF, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE ARE PUTTING INVESTING IN THE NORWICH GREENHOUSE AND I WOULD ALSO AT THE SAME TIME SORT OF CHALLENGE MY COMRADES HERE AND MY, OUR COMMUNITY TO SORT OF THINK ABOUT THE VALUE THAT WE GET FROM THE GREENHOUSE AND WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO TAKE THE GREENHOUSE TO THE NEXT LEVEL? FOR YEARS, WE'VE BEEN USING BAND-AIDS TO TRY TO KEEP IT IN PLACE, AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF IT.

BUT THE GREENHOUSE, WE GROW ALL OF OUR PLANTS THERE, AND IT SAVES THE CITY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.

BUT IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO GO OUT THERE AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT WHAT A JUST A FANTASTIC JOB CITY STAFF DOES INTERNALLY OUT THERE WITH THEIR PLANTINGS.

IT REALLY IS A NICE PLACE THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY THINK ABOUT LONG TERM ONE OF THESE DAYS.

SO THANK YOU.

A PRESENTATION AND RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AUTHORIZING CITY FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR THE STATE HISTORIC TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, APPLIED BY

[19. Presentation and resolution of support authorizing City financial incentives for a State Historic Tax Credit Program Application by Aspect Investments, LC for a redevelopment project at 222 3rd Street SE and 316 3rd Avenue SE, and authorizing local match funds through the Above Standard Economic Development Program (Scott Mather). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #TIF-0093-2024]

ASPECT INVESTMENTS, LLC, FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT AT 22 220 TWO THIRD STREET SOUTHEAST AND 316 THIRD AVENUE SOUTHEAST, AND AUTHORIZING LOCAL MATCH FUNDS THROUGH THE ABOVE STANDARD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

SCOTT. I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU.

SCOTT MATHER WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE.

AS STATED, WE'RE HERE TO CONSIDER A TERM SHEET WITH ASPECT INVESTMENTS, LLC.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND HERE.

APRIL 23RD OF THIS YEAR, CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED LOCAL MATCH INCENTIVES FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING TAX CREDIT APPLICATION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE GUARANTY BANK.

THE DEVELOPER WAS AWARDED WORKFORCE HOUSING AND IS NOW APPLYING FOR STATE HISTORIC TAX CREDITS.

CITY FINANCIAL SUPPORT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN AWARD.

THE PROJECT QUALIFIES UNDER THE TARGETED DISTRICT REINVESTMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

THE DEVELOPER HAS REQUESTED ABOVE STANDARD INCENTIVE, SO A FINANCIAL GAP ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED TO VERIFY COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL COSTS, AND TO ENSURE THE DEVELOPER EQUITY EXCEEDS PRESENT VALUE OF THE CITY.

INCENTIVES. THIS IS A $30 MILLION INVESTMENT.

THE GUARANTY BANK BUILDING RENOVATION INVOLVES A MAIN FLOOR COMMERCIAL SPACE, WITH THE SECOND THROUGH SIXTH FLOORS BEING 70 MARKET RATE RENTAL APARTMENTS.

THE EXTERIOR WILL HAVE FULL MASONRY RENOVATION AND CUSTOM WINDOWS MATCHING LARGER HISTORIC WINDOWS.

THE STRAND THEATER WOULD BE RENOVATED INTO A FITNESS CENTER.

THE EXTERIOR WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT MASONRY RESTORATION AS WELL AS NEW STOREFRONT WINDOWS.

THE PROJECT WILL RETAIN THE HISTORICAL FEATURES AND ARCHITECTURE REQUIRED BY THE STATE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION OFFICE.

CONSTRUCTION WOULD COMMENCE LATER THIS FALL AND COMPLETE IN THE FALL OF 26.

FINANCIAL INCENTIVES INCLUDE TAX INCREMENTS UP TO NET PRESENT VALUE OF 1.2 MILLION OR 20 CONSECUTIVE ANNUAL PAYMENTS.

SO JUST A COUPLE STREET VIEW PICS HERE.

THE STRAND, THE STRAND THEATER IN PARTICULAR.

NOTICE IT HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL NEED TO BE MADE TO MAKE THIS A USABLE BUILDING AGAIN.

SO TODAY WE'RE HERE TO CONSIDER THE TERM SHEET.

IF APPROVED, I WOULD RETURN IN THE NEXT BETWEEN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER TO AMEND THE CENTRAL CONSOLIDATED URBAN RENEWAL AREA AND BRING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BACK TO COUNCIL. WITH THAT, I TURN IT BACK TO YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SCOTT.

COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBER VANORNY.

THANKS MAYOR PRO TEM.

I JUST WANT TO PUT IN A PLUG THE STEPANEK'S WHO I HAD THE, THEY MAY NOT REMEMBER IT, BUT THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH ME AT THE SAME TIME.

WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, I WAS THINKING THIS REALLY WASN'T THE CONCEPT OF THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION THAT WE WERE HOPING FOR THE STRAND THEATER.

BUT THE REALLY AMAZING THING IS, I HAD THAT CONVERSATION WITH BRANT, AND IT WAS THE FACT THAT HIS DEDICATION TO HIS PARENTS, WHO REMEMBER THE STRAND THEATER AT ITS HEYDAY AND HIS COMMITMENT THROUGH THEM TO HONOR THAT AND THEIR MEMORY OF IT, ALTHOUGH IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WE FIRST IMAGINED.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT THIS NEW CONCEPT OF HAVING A GYM IN THERE IS REALLY VERY MUCH INTENDING TO MAINTAIN THE HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT MADE IT SO SIGNIFICANT.

SO I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT TOTALLY OBLITERATING THAT.

AND NOT JUST ARE THEY SAVING SOME PIECES, BUT THEY ARE REALLY LEANING INTO THAT BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO THAT FAMILY TOO.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT JUST GIVES SOME ASSURANCES TO WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE.

IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF THOSE SAME FLAVORS THAT WE WERE REALLY HOPING FOR IN THE ORIGINAL ITERATIONS OF THESE PROJECTS.

SO I'M EXCITED FOR IT AND APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY TODD, SECONDED BY TYLER OLSON.

AYE, AYE. THOSE OPPOSED SAY NO.

THANK YOU. NUMBER 20 PRESENTATION AND RESOLUTION APPROVING A PROJECT TERM SHEET WITH MODERN HOME BUILDERS, LLC FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY AT

[20. Presentation and resolution approving a project term sheet with Modern Home Builders LLC for the redevelopment of property at 123 and 129 16th Avenue SW (Scott Mather). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #TIF-0002-2024]

ONE, TWO, THREE AND 129 16TH AVENUE SOUTHWEST.

SCOTT. I WILL RECOGNIZE YOU.

THANK YOU. YES.

WE RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM MODERN HOME BUILDERS FOR CITY FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AT THE PRIOR US BANK LOCATION IN CZECH VILLAGE.

THE PROJECT ALSO QUALIFIES UNDER THE TARGETED DISTRICT REINVESTMENT PROGRAM.

THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR ABOVE CITY STANDARD.

ABOVE STANDARD INCENTIVES.

SO A FINANCIAL GAP ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED HERE AS WELL TO VERIFY.

CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL COSTS AND ENSURING THAT THE DEVELOPER'S EQUITY EXCEEDS OUR CITY INCENTIVES.

[01:15:01]

THIS IS A $3 MILLION PROJECT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO FOURPLEX TOWNHOMES, FOR A TOTAL OF EIGHT UNITS.

THEY ARE A MIX OF THREE BEDROOM, TWO AND A HALF BATHS AS LONG AS WELL AS TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH.

EACH UNIT WILL HAVE A TWO STALL GARAGE AND ALL UNITS ARE MARKET RATE.

CONSTRUCTION WOULD START LATER THIS FALL AND COMPLETE IN THE FALL OF 25.

SO WITH THIS, THE CITY WOULD PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT UP TO 300,000 NET PRESENT VALUE OR 20 CONSECUTIVE ANNUAL PAYMENTS. SO THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES ARE JUST STREET VIEWS.

THIS IS FACING BACK TOWARDS 16TH AVENUE.

AND THIS IS LOOKING BACK TOWARDS PHASE ONE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IS ALREADY UP THOSE.

THERE'S FOUR, THREE PLEXES THERE.

IT'S ALL PART OF THE SAME.

THIS IS SORT OF PHASE TWO OF THE PROJECT AND THE SITE PLAN.

SO THE EXISTING BUILDINGS THAT THAT I JUST SHOWED IN THE LAST PHOTO ARE HERE.

AND THEN THIS WOULD BE WHERE THE FOURPLEX ALONG D STREET AND THEN THE ONE ALONG THE BACK SIDE.

SO HERE ARE THE FOURPLEXES THAT WOULD FACE D STREET.

THIS IS THE FRONT AND THE REAR.

AND THEN ALSO A RENDERING OF THE FOURPLEX THAT WOULD BE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT.

SO TODAY WE'RE HERE TO CONSIDER THE PROJECT TERM SHEET.

AND AGAIN I WOULD RETURN TO AMEND THE CENTRAL CONSOLIDATED URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AND BRING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BACK TO COUNCIL.

WITH THAT RETURN BACK TO YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBER VANORNY.

SCOTT COUNCIL.

IT'S ALWAYS A RUSH TO SEE BETWEEN ME AND MAYOR PRO TEM.

WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THE COMMENTS? I THINK THE DESIGN IS GREAT, AND CERTAINLY WE'VE SEEN OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS AND THEY GET MOVED INTO VERY QUICKLY.

SO I'M EXCITED THAT WE HAVE MORE OF THIS.

WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT 360 DESIGN.

I THINK THAT THAT'S TERRIFIC THAT THEY'RE ALREADY CONSIDERING HOW TO INCORPORATE ARTWORK INTO IT SO THAT IT BENEFITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL, BUT REALLY GOOD DESIGN AND WELCOME THEM INTO CEDAR RAPIDS.

THANK YOU.

YEAH. BEAUTIFUL.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THAT DOWN INTO THE CZECH VILLAGE AREA.

SO LOVELY.

SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MOVED BY OVERLAND, SECONDED BY MAIER.

NUMBER 21. PRESENTATION AND RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH LTRI LLC

[21. Presentation and resolution authorizing execution of Amendment No. 2 to the Development Agreement with LTRI LLC for the redevelopment of City-owned property along Ellis Boulevard and J Avenue NW (Scott Mather). (Council Priority) CIP/DID #DISP-0034-2020]

FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY ALONG ELLIS BOULEVARD AND J AVENUE NORTHWEST.

SCOTT, I'LL RECOGNIZE YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU. SO BACK ON MAY 25TH OF 2021, CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED INCENTIVES IN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH LTRI, LLC FOR A HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT ALONG ELLIS BOULEVARD AND J AVENUE NORTHWEST.

MARCH 14TH OF 2023, CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE, WHICH MODIFIED THE CONSTRUCTION, COMMENCEMENT, AND COMPLETION DATES.

BUT HOWEVER, DUE TO OVERALL PROJECT COSTS, THE REDEVELOPMENT HAS NOT STARTED, SO THE DEVELOPER HAS REQUESTED ABOVE STANDARD INCENTIVES TO MOVE THE PROJECT FORWARD.

AND SO WE PROVIDED A FINANCIAL GAP ANALYSIS.

WE MADE SURE THAT THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL COSTS WOULD SUPPORT SUCH AN INCENTIVE, AND WE ENSURED THAT THE DEVELOPER EQUITY EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF OUR INCENTIVES.

SO THIS PROJECT IS A $5.2 MILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND INCLUDES EIGHT THREE UNIT ROW HOMES, FOR A TOTAL OF 24 UNITS.

THESE ARE ALL TWO BEDROOM, TWO AND A HALF BATH.

COMES WITH A FLAT SURFACE PARKING AND MARKET RATE RENTAL UNITS.

CONSTRUCTION WOULD BEGIN LATER THIS FALL AND COMPLETE BY THE END OF 2026.

THE CITY WOULD PROVIDE UP TO 600,000 NET PRESENT VALUE OR 20 CONSECUTIVE PAYMENTS.

SO HERE IS A STREET VIEW FROM THE CORNER OF ELLIS AND JAY AVENUE NORTHWEST.

AND HERE IS A BASICALLY AN AERIAL VIEW OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH THE THIS BEING ELLIS ALONG HERE AND JAY AVENUE ALONG HERE. AND A COUPLE MORE RENDERINGS OF WHAT THE HOMES WILL LOOK LIKE FROM THE FRONT AS WELL AS FROM THE REAR.

SO TODAY WE'RE HERE TO CONSIDER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO, WHICH WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE PROJECT BEING ADDED TO THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN.

AND I WOULD RETURN TO AMEND AND ADD THIS PLAN, ADD THIS PROJECT INTO THE CENTRAL CONSOLIDATED URBAN RENEWAL AREA PLAN.

WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU.
