MIDTOWN ARTS & DESIGN ALLIANCE DEVELOPMENT & DISPOSITION AGREEMENT UPDATE Mr. Scott said we are working hard with MADA to get this done. Marcos is working on all the legal issues, red lines and getting consent back. He is doing a great job. He is focused mainly on technical issues and is making good progress. We are realistically optimistic that we can get there by the end of the year and are hopeful that this will go before the Governing Body at their December meeting. It will be a formal development agreement, but contingent on their meeting deadlines and milestones. Their funding is a big part of this. They are renovating buildings, not building new buildings. We anticipate that they will not start on a building until they are fully funded. B. MIDTOWN MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT SCHEDULE UPDATE Mrs. Venditti reported that there will be a special meeting of the Governing Body on November 19th to get approval on the amendments. C. UPDATES FROM CITY MANAGER AND INTERIM MRA DIRECTOR, MARK SCOTT Mr. Scott said he sent an email to the Commission with this report. He walked into this two months ago with concerns about momentum and moving forward. He is encouraged now after working with the engineers and partners. He has been quite concerned that we would have progress to show the world. The restaurant, which is part of Phillip’s development of Aspect Studios, will be open in October. Mr. Czoski asked how does the City budget for infrastructure without a complete plan. Mr. Scott said he can show the Legislators that we will be shovel ready for appropriations. We are meeting with the Legislators now. Mr. Czoski asked so the plan is to seek capital outlay as opposed to bonds. Mr. Scott said all of the above. We are hoping to get some money at the upcoming Legislative session. We have some financing. The parking garage is on a separate track. We will be calling each of you this week to set up individual meetings to show you the plan. Consuelos is a challenge for us. It is a challenge of the heart. Mr. Gonzales asked Mr. Scott to talk a bit more about Consuelos. MRC October 1, 2025 Page 3  Mr. Scott said we have a draft repot from Wilson and Company assessing the structures. There are still some questions about the building. Mr. Scott said Carly will be setting the individual meetings with the Commissioners. 10. MATTERS FROM THE COMMITTEE None. 11. MATTERS FROM THE CHAIR None. PUBLIC COMMENT Mike Harris. Mr. Harris said this is a really vibrant Midtown site. Great work. It is dynamic. You have given us a tremendous about of information and it is very impressive. When will the information on the infrastructure be made public. It will be great to know what the City proposes to do. Mr. Scott said the risk is putting things out early and then they change. We are trying to be far enough along for more certainty. At lease the basic description of what we are talking about will be available at the next Commission meeting. We want the public to know things are moving forward. Chair Silva said it is a priority of mine as well. He wants the public to know that things are happening. Mr. Harris asked about the clean up and landscape of the site. Mr. Scott said we are getting started on that very soon. Mr. Czoski asked about the signage. Mrs. Venditti said the bid is open and the design has been approved. We should have fabrication soon. 12.
