As you will see, we are offering more than what the city paid and paying our realtors’ commission. Additionally, we are making a written promise to donate 2% of any business revenue, for the first 5 years, to the Columbus School Nutrition Angel Fund. We are doing this to show that we intend to be committed, contributing members of the community. We understand that the City has an RFP out for this property. We are nonetheless submitting this offer because the fact of the matter is we need a place to live. Brian’s start date at UW Health is set; we simply do not have the time to ride out the entire RFP process. As stated during the last City Council meeting, the City has every right to move as quickly or as slowly as they want with RFPs. Because of these timing factors related to Brian’s job, we are submitting this offer now so that we have a place to live once we move. As a courtesy, we are also letting you know that we intend to publish the basic details of our offer to social media. We are doing this because throughout our pursuit of this property, we have encountered many Columbus residents who feel strongly about its fate. We want to maintain transparency with those who support our vision for the Dingee Farm. Throughout this entire process, we have had the pleasure of interacting with many residents of Columbus. They have shown us that Columbus is a welcoming and supportive community. Consequently, we are extending this offer in the hope that we can make Columbus and the Dingee Farm our home. Thank you for your consideration.

There is a Pickleball group that meets indoors at the Columbus Elementary School three times a week to play; in the beginning of the year, they met once. With summertime approaching it would be wonderful to get everyone outside in our park, to play this sport. This same group has offered to volunteer their time to paint lines on the city tennis courts. The city would fund the stencils and the paint as a park expense; approved by DPW Interim Director Brandon Bledsoe. I would be there to help where needed when the project is underway. I am asking for council support on this project so we can add more amenities (for adults) to our parks. Thank you for your consideration.

Attached is a draft capital street plan for 2023 through 2032 showing the proposed street projects and potential expenses. The overall Capital Streets Plan list has more than $17M in improvements, but only about $10M are budgeted in the next 10 years. In 2032 this will result in approximately $173,000 in additional debt service compared to 2023, although by 2033 it will have dropped substantially. These projects were selected and timed based on anticipated financing terms and conditions, but it is important to note that many things could play a role in the viability of this plan moving forward. We made our debt service assumptions using 20 year bonds at 3.75% interest, so more favorable conditions will reduce borrowing costs or allow us to borrow greater amounts at the same cost. Additionally we did not include any grant funding that has not already been awarded, so we are hopeful that at some point during this timeframe the City would be fortunate enough to be awarded some type of transportation grant that would defray some costs. As staff and the City Engineer reviewed the earlier draft of the Capital Streets Plan, there were a few changes incorporated based on project overlap and the desire to avoid multiple projects at one time that might create compounding traffic concerns. Changes include moving two project into 2024 when there were no projects previously, moving the School Street project back one year, and handling the repaving of S Dickason Blvd separately from the School Street project. One important note is that this plan goes well into the future, and it is difficult to know how these roads will fare during that time. This plan is intended to be a guideline and can be changed as necessary to meet changing conditions. The most critical piece of adopting this plan is that it locks the funding intention into place so staff can incorporate this into overall debt management plans, while maintaining the flexibility for projects to be substituted as necessary.
