(Minutes-Board of Commissioners-May 1, 2012) Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2012 - 9 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Nash and seconded by Hill for second reading of said Ordinance. Mayor Wilkerson asked for discussion, and with none, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Nash, Waltrip and Wilkerson Voting Nay: None Ordinance No. BG2012 - 9 was adopted by unanimous vote. ORDINANCE NO. BG2012 – 10 (Second Reading) ORDINANCE RENAMING STREET ORDINANCE APPROVING THE RENAMING OF A PORTION OF NAVAJO DRIVE TO JEFFERSON COURT Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2012 - 10 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Waltrip and seconded by Hill for second reading of said Ordinance. Mayor Wilkerson asked for discussion, and with none, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Nash, Waltrip and Wilkerson Voting Nay: None Ordinance No. BG2012 - 10 was adopted by unanimous vote. ORDINANCE NO. BG2012 – 11 (Second Reading) ORDINANCE RELATED TO WKU GATEWAY TO DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN TIF DEVELOPMENT AREA ORDINANCE APPROVING AMENDED AND RESTATED LOCAL PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT #3 AND AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT #2 RELATED TO THE WKU GATEWAY TO DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN DEVELOPMENT AREA Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2012 - 11 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Nash and seconded by Hill for second reading of said Ordinance. Attorney David Lanphear, local counsel for Downtown Redevelopment Authority, Inc. (DRA) and on behalf of Attorney Nader Baydoun (out of town counsel), requested that the ordinance be tabled to allow time for them to look at the revised Master Development Agreement (MDA). He stated that he thought there were some changes that did not serve the best interests of DRA or the taxpayers. Mr. Lanphear responded to questions about waiting until this meeting to bring these issues forward and bringing them directly to the Board of Commissioners as the policy makers instead of approaching the City Attorney and staff in advance of the meeting. Among other issues such as the expansion of the district and the Master Developer’s compensation, Mr. Lanphear indicated that numerous changes to the MDA deleted obligations of the Master Developer to bring $2 million of private development in relation to DRA’s building at 601 State Street. He urged the Board to wait on approving the agreement for another two weeks, which would allow time for Mr. Baydoun to prepare an appropriate retort to protect DRA. 2 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-May 1, 2012) In response to some of the issues that Mr. Lanphear brought forward, Mayor Wilkerson stated that several of the changes to both agreements were discussed at the April 17th work session. He reiterated that many of the changes in the MDA related to actions already taken by the Board, including the expansion of the district in 2008 and compensation to the Master Developer. Downtown Redevelopment Authority Executive Director Ron Murphy responded to questions about not being able to meet with Mr. Baydoun before tonight and for not speaking up at the April 17th meeting when the ordinance was brought up for first reading. With Mr. Baydoun involved with a trial and unable to attend this meeting, Mr. Murphy requested that the Board table the issue to allow more time for DRA to study the changes. At the request of Comm. Denning, Attorney Kevin Brooks, representing Warren County Downtown Economic Development Authority (Authority), explained there was no direct relationship between the Authority and DRA, nor was DRA a party to or beneficiary of the MDA. He summarized that the changes being proposed made clear those things that should already be clear based on past decisions and actions already taken by the Authority, City and Warren County. Essentially, he believed that the changes simply memorialized the facts as they already are. Mr. Brooks also reiterated that making improvements to 601 State Street was predicated on borrowing money which has not been able to be done. City Attorney Gene Harmon advised that all parties to the agreement understood the expansion and its impact on the Master Developer compensation agreement. He also concurred with Mr. Brooks that it was the Authority’s intent to issue TIF bonds which would have provided the funds to make improvements to DRA’s building if such financing became available. There was continued discussion about the request to table the item and the inability of DRA and its attorneys to have enough time to gather information and review it prior to tonight. Comm. Denning made a motion to tabled Ordinance No. BG2012 - 11 to provide all involved more time to review the materials. The motion was seconded by Waltrip, and a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Waltrip and Wilkerson Voting Nay: Nash Motion to table Ordinance No. BG2012 - 11 was approved by majority vote. Following the vote, there was discussion about when the item should be brought back for continued discussion. Mr. Lanphear referred to a letter from Mr. Baydoun which requested the item be tabled until the June 5th meeting of the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Brooks indicated that approval of the MDA was needed to predicate other actions for the Block 6 development. He suggested that the item could be tabled again at the May 15th meeting if more time was needed. The Board agreed that the ordinance would be brought back for discussion May 15th.
