Members reviewed maps of two potential options. The first map details a 20 car parking lot off of East Interstate Drive and west of Academy Sports + Outdoors.

DISCUSSION REGARDING ONGOING PARK MAINTENANCE AND BUDGET Matt Hendren, Parks Superintendent, reviewed the FYE19 Budget Request document which outlines BID expenses for Legacy Park maintenance and UNP enhancements. Total revenue for the next fiscal year is expected to be about $200,000 and total expenditures are expected to be about $423,000. Expenditures include the construction of the Tecumseh Entrance and repairs needed for the Legacy Park fountain. Jeff Bryant then reviewed the Cash Flow Statement showing an expected FYE18 net cash flow of $329,604 that will transfer to FYE19 for the beginning balance. Kathryn Walker will begin assessments of the properties for presentation to City Council in August for billing at the end of the calendar year. 5. UPDATE AND POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE UNIVERSITY NORTH PARK TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT Jeff Bryant presented the UNP Master Plan update by RTKL and explained additional projects being discussed for the TIF district. He also handed out documents that were presented to the Planning Commission for Ordinance Amendment O-1718-15, amending the Planned Unit Development designation to allow the development of up to 50 net acres north of Rock Creek Road for entertainment type commercial uses. This PUD Amendment was approved 5 to 1 by the Planning Commission on June 6, 2018. The first reading of the Amended PUD Ordinance is scheduled for June 26th and the second reading for July 10th. An Amended Project Plan is also being discussed that Council could send to a Statutory Review Committee for recommendation in July and then possibly to City Council for consideration in August. The RTKL Master Plan that has now been revised from its presentation last fall, was presented and discussed. The Center for Economic Development Law has been retained to help draft Project Plan amendments that will provide a tax increment financing method to accomplish the original Project Costs from 2006 and also provide for the entertainment district, the arena, additional traffic and roadway improvements. The amended Project Plan attempts to address implementation of the jointly funded RTKL Master Plan in a way that would address the needs of the partnering ad valorem taxing jurisdictions, while inducing around $500 million in private investment into the District. The details of the proposed amended Project Plan were discussed. 6. TOPICS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION Austin Goodwin spoke about the Architectural Review Board (ARB) streamlining its process. There are approximately 25 parcels to keep track of and a list of parcel owners will be compiled however the ARB cannot police structures after construction has been completed. Since who takes over monitoring the tenants after construction is in question, someone assigned to specifically monitor maintenance would be helpful. This person could call the City when a violation is noticed. UNP BID Advisory Board June 15, 2018 Page 3 of 3 Jeff Bryant asked if this was about the time a Property Owners Association (POA) could be established and if so, then the POA could also take over future assessments in addition to monitoring maintenance. Mandy Haws asked if a Merchant Association could be created instead. ARB member, Austin Goodwin, said he would discuss options and come back to the Board with an update. 7. DISCUSSION ABOUT DATE, TIME AND LOCATION FOR THE NEXT MEETING The next meeting is set for August 17, 2018 at 10:00 am at Embassy Suites with the room TBD. 8. MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION None. The meeting was adjourned at 10:43 a.m.
