Economic Dev. Mgr./Assistant City Administrator Brama stated that every project is different. <br />He noted that some projects have a real time split, some projects the City pays the costs up front <br />and assesses the cost back to the developer over time, and in this case the developer would pay <br />the costs up front and the City would reimburse their portion. He noted that this proposed case <br />would be the least amount of risk for the City. He noted that this will move forward to the City <br />Council on January 23rd. He advised that a final review would still come back before both the <br />EDA and City Council for consideration of a formal TIF Agreement. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if there would be first floor retail or a restaurant. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr./Assistant City Administrator Brama replied that the developer moved their <br />project further away from Sunwood in order to avoid that element. He noted that the City would <br />retain ownership of the parcel along Sunwood Drive for future commercial or mixed use <br />development. <br />Motion by Member Hardin, seconded by Member Skaff, to recommend to City Council to <br />approve the public infrastructure MOU with CAP Acquisitions. <br />Further discussion: Member Riley stated that this appears to simply be related to the short-term <br />financing method as the long-term financing will come from TIF. He stated that it appears this <br />option will let the developer finance upfront, with TIF paying that back in the future. Economic <br />Dev. Mgr./Assistant City Administrator Brama confirmed that is generally correct. Member <br />Riley stated that this seems to be a good use of TIF. Economic Dev. Mgr./Assistant City <br />Administrator Brama stated that in past practice this seems to be a realistic time for payback. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Steffen, Members Hardin, Skaff, Burandt, Johns, <br />Kanaventi, and Riley. Voting No: None. Absent: Member LeTourneau. <br />Member Riley stated that he does not like the street names. He stated that they have gone away <br />from the naming mechanism in the past within The COR district and therefore recommend that <br />they go away from the mechanism in this case as well. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr./Assistant City Administrator Brama stated that he will pass on the <br />comments. <br />4.04: CBRE: Pricing Strategy (Portions of this case may be closed to the public) <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama presented the staff report. <br />Member Kanaventi left the meeting. <br />Recess and Reconvene <br />Motion by Member Riley, seconded by Member Hardin, to recess the meeting to closed session <br />at 8:18 a.m. <br />Economic Development Authority/January 11, 2018 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
