Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />June 26, 2024 <br />Page 5of8 <br />Director of Public Works noted that it will cost about 10% of the entire project to design the plan, <br />which would come out of the LRC reserve or city reserve without a bond to carry the cost <br />forward for the next 12 months. He added that staff are currently reviewing CIP requests for the <br />city and still dealing with the fire aftermath to determine priorities. <br />Chair Adler asked about the timeline for City Council approval. The EV Manager commented <br />that the hope is to get LRC approval today so it can be brought before council in July. <br />Mayor Leh commented that the Commission is struggling on time and that he doesn't want to <br />stand in the way of trying to get something done today. In terms of identifying projects, he asked <br />if there should be an early July meeting or a special meeting in August to refine this or are we <br />able to move forward today. He noted that it sounds like the LRC isn't ready to move forward <br />today. <br />The EV Manager commented that the LRC can refine the work plan and priorities at any time. <br />She noted that the bond resolution wording speaks to capital improvement funding and that <br />refining the work plan can be done simultaneously with the bonding process. <br />Mayor Leh commented that he doesn't want to fall any farther behind. <br />Commissioner Harald commented that he is struggling with the process and the content. He <br />said he understands that the LRC needs to initiate the bond issuance process presumably this <br />is pretty baked and approving it is a formality. He said it feels a little out of sequence and that <br />the formality is getting the process moving and under the LRC's and Council's authority LRC <br />initiates the process. He feels the resolution is overly detailed for a request to initiate the <br />process. Commissioner Harald said it makes sense to go forward, noting that he is concerned <br />with the $10M request because that is what the LRC can afford but he struggles with the math <br />of the total cost of all three large projects currently on the table. He feels this confusion and <br />differences of opinion on what it will take to complete the projects is why this is taking so long. <br />The Director of Public Works commented that project costs will likely increase as construction <br />documents are developed. The LRC will review and approve certain aspects of the projects they <br />wish to support and can afford. The EV Manager commented that she has run the bond <br />scenarios, noting that bonding anything over $10M turns LRC into a debt service and other <br />programs won't be able to continue such as Facade Improvement, etc. It was noted that a $10M <br />bond allows programming to continue and provides funding for proposed capital projects. <br />There was a discussion around debt service, revenues, and future programming. <br />Commissioner Lipton commented that he understands staff wants to move as fast as possible. <br />He asked who the bond counsel and financial advisor firm is. The EV Manager noted that both <br />the City's bond counsel and financial advising firm have been involved in the bonding resolution <br />process presented today. She reiterated that today's resolution doesn't commit the LRC to <br />spending, it is to allow staff to start the process to dial in interest rates, the true cost of the <br />money, reserves needed, etc. This information will be brought back to LRC for final approval to <br />bond. City Attorney Hoffman commented that working with bond counsel and financial advisors <br />is included in section 1 of the resolution. <br />Chair Adler suggested the LRC review the resolution and provide comments to staff. <br />
