Consider expansion of Harrisonburg Arts & Cultural District Boundaries Brian Shull, director of the Department of Economic Development, stated the city was the first Arts and Cultural District in the state. He stated he has been working with Swartz Photography who is looking to open a business at 40 West Washington Street, which lies directly outside the arts and cultural boundary and they are requesting the expansion of the boundary. Mr. Shull stated when this request was made, staff decided to review the boundaries that were last adjusted in 2001 to see if other venues could be identified. After consultation with the Arts Council of the Valley staff, it is recommended to bring the Spitzer Art Center, the Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center, and the existing building located at 40 West Washington Street into the current district. Mr. Shull reviewed the new proposed boundaries. Mayor Jones noted that a new historical exhibit just opened up at the Simms Center. Mr. Shull stated the building Swartz Photography is looking to purchase has an existing business called Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, which is another arts related business. Mr. Shull noted the ordinance would also need to be amended to reflect a few new street names. Mr. Shull stated this district is to help market arts and culture businesses and a few incentives were available. Mayor Jones asked if the proper signage and badging would be displayed within the district. Mr. Shull stated it would be addressed, but currently there isn’t a lot of signage. Mayor Jones stated during the last few months there have been several different entities recognizing that the city has a signage and marketing issue and suggested to guide Public Works to coordinate efforts. A motion was made by Council Member Degner, seconded by Vice-Mayor Baugh, City of Harrisonburg Page 6 Printed on 7/13/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2016 to approve the expansion of the Arts and Cultural District as presented. Clay Clark, owner of Clementine’s, applauded efforts supporting and encouraging arts and culture in downtown Harrisonburg; however, he asked council to examine the ordinances that are currently in effect as to how they affect the businesses in downtown Harrisonburg and what the proposed ordinance will actually accomplish other than establishing bragging rights. Mr. Clark continued by asking council to review the ordinance of how it would support those local businesses making efforts to support arts and cultural, such as certain tax exemptions. Mr. Clark asked council to table this request until further review of the impact of the arts and cultural district, the exemptions that are provided, and whether or not they actually accomplish anything as far as encouraging local businesses to encourage arts and cultural activities. Mr. Shull stated he has been in conversation with Mr. Clark and others downtown regarding the admissions tax. Mr. Shull commented that the two requests aren’t mutually exclusive. The motion was amended by Council Member Degner, seconded by Vice-Mayor Baugh, to approve the district expansion and ask the director of economic development to report back to council on the effectiveness of the ordinance and recommend how it might be improved. The motion carried with a recorded roll call vote taken as follows: Yes: 5- Mayor Jones, Vice-Mayor Baugh, Council Member Byrd, Council Member Degner and Council Member Shearer No: 0 7.h. Consider a Restated and Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding for the development, ownership, and financing of a hotel and conference center City Attorney Brown reviewed the history of the hotel and conference center beginning with the approval of a memorandum and other documents on October 14, 2014 and noted the James Madison University (JMU) Foundation discovered the structure jeopardized its 501 (3)(c) status. City Attorney Brown stated over the last several months stakeholders involved have met to restructure the transaction and noted the main change is how the money flows from the Foundation to the developer. City Attorney Brown reviewed how the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) is involved and noted the repayment to the Foundation of the conference center financing funds will remain as previously approved by council. City Attorney Brown also noted the conference center will now be owned by the developer and that JMU will now lease the real property occupied by the conference center to the developer. City Attorney Brown clarified that JMU will own the property, but the developer will own the buildings. City Attorney Brown stated if approved, a public hearing will be held by the IDA on this matter. City Attorney Brown stated the city only has obligations to this request if there are tax revenues for 21 years from September 1 after the certificate of occupancy is issued. He also noted that there is a provision in the development agreement that if at the end of 21 years the Foundation hasn’t been repaid this council suggests that the future council renew City of Harrisonburg Page 7 Printed on 7/13/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2016 the agreement. Council Member Byrd asked if the city has complied 100% with the current MOU. City Attorney Brown replied, yes. Council Member Byrd stated with this new agreement they have agreed to reduce the current cap of the interest rate granted . Council Member Byrd stated even with the numbers presented by the developer paying the Foundation in 11 years, the Foundation wants the city to guarantee them 21 years. City Attorney Brown stated with the moral obligation the financing won’t count against the city’s debt. City Attorney Brown stated the Foundation voted on and approved the restated and second amendment to the MOU last week and it doesn’t change the financial liability of the city or the IDA. Council Member Byrd feels that now council is partnering with the developer instead of the Foundation which is an entity that the city knew and had received their audited financial statements. Council Member Shearer also feels that this isn ’t a minor change, there are significant implications, and council shouldn ’t vote before a public hearing is held. Council Member Byrd offered the following three suggestions: do nothing and continue operating under the current MOU, accept the changes as presented, or see if other changes can be made within the proposed MOU. Council Member Byrd noted staff originally recommended not going past 11 years for repayment. Council Member Degner clarified that the city has no liability in terms of paying anything back unless it collects taxes on the buildings that it would otherwise not get. City Attorney Brown stated that was correct. Council Member Shearer and Byrd noted that it is an incentive that we don’t provide for any other entity. Council Member Degner noted several things that the facility would be providing. Mayor Jones stated prior to him being on council he remembers the repayment was estimated at a maximum of 14 years. Vice-Mayor Baugh stated the repayment amounts have always been estimates and the 21 years just means if the debt hasn’t been repaid, then this body has to revisit it. City Attorney Brown noted that if the debt is repaid before the 21 years, this agreement is fulfilled. There was further discussion on why each member of council was for or against the project. City Attorney Brown noted the main disagreement of the original MOU was the length of repayment. Vice-Mayor Baugh noted that he is open to speak with anyone about other projects that might be at the interest of the city to support. City Manager Hodgen stated he and the city attorney approached this as the vote had already been taken, the city was asked to reconsider the MOU, and both felt they weren’t substantial amendments that significantly changed where the city was going to begin and end after the process is complete. A motion was made by Council Member Degner, seconded by Vice-Mayor Baugh, to approve the agenda item. The motion carried with a recorded roll call vote taken as follows: Yes: 3- Mayor Jones, Vice-Mayor Baugh and Council Member Degner No: 2- Council Member Byrd and Council Member Shearer 7.i. Consider appointing Pam Ulmer, administrative specialist, as clerk pro tempore during the absence of the city clerk City of Harrisonburg Page 8 Printed on 7/13/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2016 City Attorney Brown stated by appointing Pam Ulmer as the clerk pro tempore the clerk duties would resume during the absence of the city clerk. A motion was offered by Council Member Byrd, seconded by Council Member Shearer, to appoint Pam Ulmer as clerk pro tempore. The motion carried with a unanimous voice vote. 8.

Mr. Shaver noted the transfer doesn’t require any additional city funds. Mr. Shaver stated this year city schools received $82,000 of e-rate funding, which isn’t built into the school’s budget. He stated $68,000 is for the replacement of three computer labs that were originally purchased with federal City of Harrisonburg Page 9 Printed on 7/13/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2016 stimulus dollars back in 2008.
