Ms. Creighton -Smith shared that she has received several inquiries about allowing Rock Star to take the lead on purchasing these properties. Tenants who have expressed their concern are about the landlord's lack of care for the properties along with the belligerent and denigrating response to the tenants. Mr. Boesen commented that he would like to see a heavier emphasis on homeownership as opposed to incentivizing the purchase price to create rental property. He further commented that this company does not outline the specifics of the development like other applicants do, so he has no idea what their plan is for these properties. And he has a real issue with increasing rental properties rather than increasing homeownership for low and moderate income families. Mr. Nichols questioned if there were other bids received on these properties from individuals who might have been looking for homeownership.

Mr. Boesen questioned how someone could get on the mailing list of individuals interested in rehab properties. Page 7 of 15 Aric Schoeder explained that on the Planning Department's page of the City's website there is a page that lists the properties available along with contact information on how to reach our office.

David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, shared his concern that there are a lot of individuals that do not want to see this happen, yet the decision will be made by the seven council members without asking the citizens of Waterloo.

Roll Call vote -Ayes: Five. Nays: Two (Boesen, Simon). Motion carried. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2024-724. Ms. Creighton -Smith commented that she believes city hall belongs to the people. She stated that the community should have input into the idea of relocating city hall. She questioned if there could be an alternative process put in place to talk about the plans and get community buy -in on the process. Page 8 of 15 Mayor Hart commented that eight years ago he had a building audit done to talk about the condition that city buildings are in. It was noted at that time, that the city should not invest even one cent in this building. He spoke of a number of concerns that need to be addressed for the safety, efficiency and comfort of our employees and citizens. Mr. Boesen commented that he agrees that we need to get a new city hall and have needed to for some time. He questioned the associated costs and requested clarification on the numbers. Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, provided an overview of the building's assessed value, current costs for renovations vs. replacement and the development agreement. Noel Anderson addressed various questions from the council. Bridgett Wood, Finance Director, explained that if the decision was to purchase the building outright, funding would be through regular bond issuance which would increase levy rates and debt service levy, thus raising property taxes. Mr. Boesen questioned when the developer would receive the $6.2 million dollars. Noel Anderson explained that the $6.2 million would be payable at closing. Resolution approving a Development Agreement and Minimum Assessment Agreement with FDP CD, LLC including the sale and conveyance of city -owned property, located at 715 Mulberry Street and 626 Mulberry Street, in the amount of $1.00, in exchange for the acquisition of a property located at 100 E. 4th Street in the amount of $1.00, including a grant of $6,200,000.00, an annual tax support grant equal to the amount of tax increment collected by the City, and seventy percent tax rebates for fifteen years for each completed phase.

Mr. Boesen commented that the details of the Development Agreement do not require the developer to take possession of the property for up to 48 months, leaving the property as a liability of the city. Sam Adelson, representative for 1515 Sycamore, LLC, commented that getting a Real Estate Purchase Agreement in place is the final step in order to obtain funding. Charles Moore, representative for 1515 Sycamore, LLC, explained that the Iowa Finance Authority required clarification on how Elm Street was getting worked into the project. To satisfy those concerns, they require a purchase agreement to satisfy all the conditions. He further explained that this is the last step to secure the historic tax credits and move forward with the project. He provided an overview of their anticipated timeline. Mr. Boesen questioned if, after this amendment, all the requirements have been met other than the historic tax credits. Sam Adelson confirmed. Mr. Chiles commented on the significant amount of time the development agreement allows for the developer to take possession of the property. He stated that it sounds like that timeline doesn't need to be as long as is currently written in the document. He questioned if that is something that could be orally change to be shorter. Noel Anderson explained that the lengthier timeline was to keep the development agreement alive in the event they didn't get the Greyfield credits, because they would have to wait a year to reapply. It does sound like things are moving along a lot faster. He shared that once they get the allocations, there are timelines of two to three years, so they will need to get going pretty quickly once they get those.
