(See attached Public Hearing Agenda) I. Monica Kurzejeski advised the board that Elon Emanuel was unable to make the meeting today and spoke briefly about the project at 2 River Street on his behalf. Mrs. Kurzejeski advised that the lease for Old Brick Furniture will stay in place through phase I of the project where they anticipate completing 48 apartments. After the lease runs out, they will begin phase II and add more apartments until they reach their goal of 68. Mrs. Kurzejeski advised he is anticipating having a high end lobby, a gym that is available to the tenants and the public, and storage units. Mrs. Kurzejeski mentioned that improvements will be done to the outside of the building as well as the parking lots. Elon has also spoke to the surrounding businesses about completing improvements. Bob Doherty stated that it was important to keep the residential projects such as this moving along and praised the board and the City for doing so. Mr. Doherty asked a general question about how we arrive at the figures for the PILOTs for each project. Justin Miller explained that there are three kinds of assistance available for a project like this; a mortgage recording tax, sales tax exemption and PILOT. The amount mortgage of recording tax depends on the amount of debt they plan to have on the project, the sales and use tax exemptions depends on the amount of taxable things they will incorporate and the PILOT savings is specific to the project. There is a general PILOT schedule that is used as a starting point then Bill and Monica would work with the owners to come up with an agreement. A cost benefit analysis and project description are factored in as well, a copy of which is included in the public hearing packet. Mr. Doherty added that he was happy with the direction we are taking when it comes to assisting residents and tenants, speaking about the O’Neil Apartments and Monument Square Apartments. Bill Dunne spoke about the process of coming up with the PILOT, advising that they try to abate the increase to allow the project to be feasible. There will still be 1 significant benefit to the City and IDA through fees and investments. Mr. Dunne also noted that this project is further South than downtown where we have worked in the past. Mr. Doherty asked if we graduate the property taxes when a home owner makes significant upgrades to a property. Mr. Dunne advised that there is a section of the code that allows this. Mr. Doherty stated this would be a tool that could also attract people to Troy. The Vice Chairman asked if there were any other additional comments. There were no additional comments and the Vice Chairman closed the public hearing portion of the meeting at 10:15. II. Mansions on Water’s Edge, LLC Justin Miller spoke about the attached project authorizing resolution for Mansions the Water’s Edge LLC. Mr. Miller advised it is the final step for the IDA to approve the project and proceed to the closing. He also noted that pages three and four of the resolutions are slightly different than previous resolutions due to the changes in March to the Uniform Tax Exemption Policy.

PROJECT SUMMARY MANSIONS AT THE WATER’S EDGE LLC (the “Company”), has requested the Authority’s assistance with a certain project (the “Project”) consisting of (i) the acquisition by the Authority of a leasehold or other interest in certain parcels of real property located in the vicinity of 2 River Street, Troy, New York 12180 (the “Land”, being comprised of 4 parcels of real property identified as TMID Nos. 100.76-9-21, 100.76-9-22, 100.76-9-23, and 100.76-9-24) and the existing improvements located thereon, including an approximately 110,000 square foot, multi-story commercial and warehouse building structure located thereon (the “Existing Improvements”); (B) the renovation, reconstruction, refurbishing and equipping by the Company as agent of the Authority of the Existing Improvements to provide for up to 68 market rate apartment units, including the reconfiguration of existing commercial and warehouse space to accommodate apartment units, along with the installation and improvement of common areas, heating systems, plumbing, roofs, windows and other site and infrastructure improvements (collectively, the “Improvements”), all of the foregoing intended for the Company’s ownership and operation of the Improvements as a commercial housing facility that will be leased by the Company to residential tenants; (C) the acquisition of and installation in and around the Land, Existing Improvements and Improvements of certain machinery, fixtures, equipment and other items of tangible personal property (the “Equipment” and, collectively with the Land, the Existing Improvements and the Improvements, the “Facility”); and (D) the lease of the Authority’s interest in the Facility back to the Company. It is contemplated that the Authority will acquire a leasehold interest in the Facility and lease the Facility back to the Company. The Company will operate the Facility during the term of the leases. The Authority contemplates that it will provide financial assistance (the “Financial Assistance”) to the Company in the form of (a) a sales and use tax exemption for purchases and rentals related to the Project; (b) mortgage recording tax exemptions(s) related to financings undertaken by the Company to construct the Facility; and (c) a partial real property tax abatement structured through a PILOT Agreement. The foregoing Financial Assistance and the Authority’s involvement in the Project are being considered to promote the economic welfare and prosperity of residents of the City of Troy, New York. The Authority is contemplating a deviation from the UTEP to provide the following PILOT parameters: (i) the Authority contemplates utilizing a fixed “Base Value” of $654,000 Full Market Value for the Land; and (ii) the PILOT Agreement will carry a term of 15 years and provide a graduated abatement factor (“Abatement Factor”) applied to the increased assessed valuation attributable to the Improvements made to the Facility by the Company, as an Agent of the Authority, for the Project (the “Added Value”). The abatement schedule shall allow for a 100% exemption from taxation for the Added Value in PILOT Years one through eight, with such exemption being reduced to 80% in PILOT Year nine, 60% in PILOT Year ten, 40% in PILOT years eleven and twelve, and 20% in PILOT Years thirteen through fifteen. IV. AGENCY COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The Company Application for Financial Assistance indicates a total project cost of approximately $8,000,000. Based upon additional information provided by the Company, the Agency estimates the following amounts of financial assistance to be provided to the Company: Mortgage Recording Tax Exemptions ($8,000,000 Mortgage) = $80,000.00 Sales and Use Tax Exemptions (Estimated $5.2M in taxable materials) = $416,000.00 PILOT Savings = $1,157,872.00 Total estimated Financial Assistance = $1,653,872.00 ** - PILOT savings based on assumed as-completed assessed value of $4,000,000, which would generate an estimated $2,080,000 in taxes over 15 years without a PILOT Agreement. The abatement schedule will provide an estimated $ 1,157,872 in net exemption savings. IV. SEQRA: The City Planning Commission has undertaken a review of the Project as lead agency under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Regulations adopted pursuant thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York (collectively, “SEQRA”). The Authority anticipates ratifying the findings of the Planning Commission upon approval of the Project. VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS - No Public Comments VII.

Based upon additional information provided by the Company, the Agency estimates the following amounts of financial assistance to be provided to the Company: Mortgage Recording Tax Exemptions ($8,000,000 Mortgage) = $80,000.00 Sales and Use Tax Exemptions (Estimated $5.2M in taxable materials) = $416,000.00 PILOT Savings = $1,157,872.00 Total estimated Financial Assistance = $1,653,872.00 ** - PILOT savings based on assumed as-completed assessed value of $4,000,000, which would generate an estimated $2,080,000 in taxes over 15 years without a PILOT Agreement. The abatement schedule will provide an estimated $ 1,157,872 in net exemption savings. 3 IV. SEQRA: The City Planning Commission has undertaken a review of the Project as lead agency under Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Regulations adopted pursuant thereto by the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York (collectively, “SEQRA”). The Authority anticipates ratifying the findings of the Planning Commission upon approval of the Project. VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS VII.

The review is uncoordinated. Based upon the review by the Authority of the Negative Declaration, related Environmental Assessment Form (the “EAF”) and related documents delivered by the Company to the Authority and other representations made by the Company to the Authority in connection with the Project, the Authority hereby ratifies the SEQRA determination made by the Planning Commission and the Authority further finds that (i) the Project will result in no major impacts and, therefore, is one which may not cause significant damage to the environment; (ii) the Project will not have a “significant effect on the environment” as such quoted terms are defined in SEQRA; and (iii) no “environmental impact statement” as such quoted term is defined in SEQRA, need be prepared for this action.

Based upon the representation and warranties made by the Company the Application, the Authority hereby authorizes and approves the Company, as its agent, to make purchases of goods and services relating to the Project and that would otherwise be subject to New York State and local sales and use tax in an amount up to approximately $5,200,000.00, which result in New York State and local sales and use tax exemption benefits (“sales and use tax exemption benefits”) not to exceed $416,000.00. The Authority agrees to consider any requests by the Company for increase to the amount of sales and use tax exemption benefits authorized by the Authority upon being provided with appropriate documentation detailing the additional purchases of property or services, and, to the extent required, the Authority authorizes and conducts any supplemental public hearing(s). Section 4. Pursuant to Section 1963-b of the Act, the Authority may recover or recapture from the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, any sales and use tax exemption benefits taken or purported to be taken by the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, if it is determined that: (i) the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project, is not entitled to the sales and use tax exemption benefits; (ii) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are in excess of the amounts authorized to be taken by the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project; (iii) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are for property or services not authorized by the Authority as part of the Project; (iv) the Company has made a material false statement on its application for financial assistance; (v) the sales and use tax exemption benefits are taken in cases where the Company, its agents, consultants, subcontractors, or any other party authorized to make purchases for the benefit of the Project fails to comply with a material term or condition to use property or services in the manner approved by the Authority in connection with the Project; and/or (vi) the Company obtains mortgage recording tax benefits and/or real property tax abatements and fails to comply with a material term or condition to use property or services in the manner approved by the Authority in connection with the Project (collectively, items (i) through (vi) hereby defined as a “Recapture Event”).
