Title VI statement read as legally required.
The meeting was preceded by an executive session from 9-10:30 AM
Memorandum from executive session stating that they only discussed what was advertised was verified and approved.
ACTION from Executive session: Terri Randall was approved to proceed with incentives for Project Sticker.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES- November 14th minutes approved.
CLAIMS AND FINANCIALS Financials were passed out and claims for Land Consultants $3100 for survey on Stone Property in West Harrison TIF and Seitz for bond for DCRC board for 2020 are approved.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:Blighted property in Guilford - no mortgage on the properties. Board decided to proceed with appraisals by Nicole Daily and for Ewan to check with Tom Pittman to be sure this falls within the purview of the DCRC. Daily is also working to help DCRC on the Stone property issues.
NEW BUSINESS:
ONE DEARBORN REPORT: Randall said they were having a lot of response to the spec building being on the market. In January Crossdock hopes to be finishing their due diligence. (Why hasn’t this been done by now?) Crossdock wants to look at whole picture. Crossdock plans a 320,000 sq ft spec building and Cushman Wakefield is marketing it. The developer wants a partnership with the DCRC and get a master plan for the entire site. They are looking for somebody to partner with as the builder. They want a limited one year plan to let Crossdock keep the larger site as a future option. Crossdock has been making huge investments on their own.
Andrea and she will work together to put a proposal together to bring back to the board. DCRC agreed to proceed in that direction for a master plan.
Deaton said that they may need to set aside some funds and parameters for Terri and Andrea to get information for their meetings.
The board discussed One Dearborn’s role and how to communicate better. Also funding for various tasks. Board is often called together too early in the process. They should be able to run the numbers in advance of the meeting. May set it at about $10,000 NTE.
ATTORNEY’S REPORT- Lee Wilburn’s (Crossdock) email exchange had a mistake in contract. It has been re-executed and is being pre-signed. They will need to re-record the contract. They will notarize the signing.
OTHER BUSINESS Next meeting will be Dec 18 with executive session from 8 am-9am.
ADJOURNMENT - 11:11 AM
