Dean Bodnar and Lou Anthony Absent: Paul Carroll Also in attendance: Justin Miller, Deanna DalPos, Mary Ellen Flores, Cheryl Kennedy, Sara McDermott, Brian McCandless, John Haynes, Tim O’Byrne, Kevin Bette and Denee Zeigler. The Chairman called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. I. Minutes The board reviewed the minutes from the September 15, 2017 board meeting. Hon. Dean Bodnar made a motion to approve the September 15, 2017 meeting minutes. Lou Anthony seconded the motion, motion carried. II. First Columbia 433 River Street, LLC – Authorizing Resolution Mr. Strichman advised that we need to make a correction to the authorizing resolution for 433 River Street, LLC regarding job numbers. He noted that the numbers used in the authorizing resolution were based on the number of employees rather than the number of FTE’s; 1025 is being reduced to 930. The board members had a general discussion on how to calculate the number of FTE’s. Mr. Miller noted that the extended PILOT for this project was largely based on job retention and the agreement stated if they went below the 1025 number, this board would have the authority to end the PILOT. Mr. Miller noted that the updated job numbers will now be updated in the resolutions to show the bottom line as 930 FTE’s. Mr. Bette advised that there was an error when the forms were filled out during the application process. He wanted to make sure the numbers were clear and accurate. Mr. Bette noted some upcoming changes with the tenants and advised of some updates to the project on the ninth floor. Mr. Strichman asked if there was any change to the project description. Mr. Miller advised no, just the number of jobs that will need to be met. (See attached Resolution 10/17 #1) Hon. Bob Doherty made a motion to approve the amended authorizing resolution for 433 River Street, LLC. Tina Urzan seconded the motion, motion carried. III. Five one Five River Street, LLC – Authorizing Resolution Mr. Strichman advised that there are also some corrections needed to the authorizing resolution for Five one Five River Street. He noted that the original resolution mentioned only one parcel, not both. This increased the acreage to 2.25, 80,000 sf. It also amends 1 the number of rooms from 124 to 132. Mr. Bette spoke to the board about the parcel corrections. He noted that there was a restaurant planned for the south end of the hotel which began to outgrow the intended space; 3000 sf. Mr. Bette advised that they went back to Marriot and asked them if we could change the retail use and include some additional rooms without changing the design of the building. (See attached Resolution 10/17 #2) Susan Farrell made a motion to approve the amended authorizing resolution for Five one Five River Street, LLC. Hon. Dean Bodnar seconded the motion, motion carried. IV. 669 River Street, LLC – Initial Project Resolution Mr. Strichman introduced the project to the board and noted that the building was previously used as a paint factory and is located across from the Ale House. He introduced Dr. McCandless and Johnathan Haynes to the board. Dr. McCandless advised that the building is four floors and approximately 44,000 sq ft. The board asked about the project details. Mr. Haynes advised that the two lower levels consist of street level and below street level. He noted that those will be a mix of restaurant, brewery and café. The third floor will be office space and the fourth floor will be apartments. Dr. McCandless noted that originally they wanted residential only on the upper floors, but decided that there is a demand for small office space and felt it would be a good fit with the retail uses on the lower floors. Mr. Haynes also noted that a floor of office space would be a nice buffer for the residential units on the top floor. The board agreed that this will be a nice addition to the neighborhood. Dr. McCandless spoke about his ongoing vision for the neighborhood, which started with his purchase of The Hangar several years ago. Mr. Doherty asked about the number of FTE’s intended for the project site and how they were determined when there is no vendor for the site. Dr. McCandless advised that he did not want to over promise on the application, but noted that his partner, Mr. Haynes owns and operates two restaurants already in Saratoga. He added that this will be Troy location of one of his restaurants. Mr. Haynes noted that his smaller location in Saratoga has 50 employees; approximately 2,000 sf. This location, 20,000 sf, will be much bigger and will have more employees. Mr. Doherty asked about the machinery and equipment listed of $1 Million and wanted to clarify if it included everything. Mr. Haynes advised that it includes the micro-brewing equipment. Mr. Doherty advised that it is encouraging that they already have EZ approval and they are expanding into this neighborhood. (See attached Resolution 10/17 #3) Tina Urzan made a motion to approve the Initial Project Resolution for 669 River Street, LLC. Hon. Bob Doherty seconded the motion, motion carried. V. Beacon Communities Development MLK Revitalization project – Phase II Mr. O’Byrne spoke to the board about the history of the project and Phase II of the MLK project. He spoke about the sometimes lengthy application process for low income housing tax credits. Mr. O’Byrne noted that Phase I started in 2014 and is currently under construction and about 50% complete. He added that the first building will be occupied next week. Mr. O’Byrne thanked the IDA for their support on Phase I. He added that they are now ready for Phase II of the project and are asking for a letter of support to send in with their application for low income housing tax credits. The chairman explained that that is the main reason we are here today and noted that we will see this project again for resolutions after low income housing tax credits are obtained. 2 Mr. O’Byrne advised that we should know in May 2018 if they were approved for the housing credits and wanted to note that they are only asking for a PILOT agreement; no mortgage recording tax exemption or sales tax exemptions. Mr. Miller advised that the mortgage recording tax and sales tax exemptions are received through a different agency. He added that this site was previously tax exempt and now will be place on the tax rolls via the PILOT agreement. Mr. O’Byrne explained that phase II includes two different parcels; the remaining parcels located within MLK and an adjacent parcel to the MLK site. He further explained that it is on the right hand side as you are heading into the MLK apartments. Mr. Bodnar asked about the plans to include properties located in the North Central neighborhood. Mr. O’Byrne explained that HUD has a program in place that didn’t fit with this project, but may let us do work elsewhere. Mr. Bodnar asked if there is a Phase III that would include properties in North Central. Mr. O’Byrne advised no, but they may be able to come up with a plan in the near future that fits with one of HUD’s programs. Mr. Carroll asked for a recap of Phase I and the new areas for Phase II. Mr. O’Byrne advised that the MLK parcel was subdivided before the project began. Phase I was done on one parcel, Phase II will be on the parcel that was subdivided and a parcel adjacent to this site. Mr. O’Byrne illustrated the Phases on a map. Hon. Dean Bodnar made a motion to approve a letter of support be drafted for the Beacon Communities Development MLK Revitalization project Phase II. Brian Carroll seconded the motion, motion carried. VI. Ratification of Administration Fee Policy Mr. Strichman noted that this item will be reviewed next month and advised that there are still some details that need to be worked out between the IDA and LDC. VII. City Staffing Agreement 2017 and 2018 Mr. Strichman spoke about the agreement we have with the city for services provided to the IDA by staff in the planning department. He advised that we adopted the amount of $100,000 in the budget for this year, but it has not been paid out to date. Mr. Strichman noted that he would like to keep the amount the same for next year. The board had a general discussion about the reimbursement amounts over the past few years and how they were calculated. Mr. Doherty asked if we should increase the amount paid to the city by 2% to account for budget settlements and salary increases. Mr. Strichman advised not for this year or next year; the city has already budgeted in $100,000. Mr. Carroll asked for clarification on the process. Mr. Strichman explained that we approve the amount in the budget the previous year and the board authorizes the payment to be issued. The board advised that the city is fairly reimbursed by both the IDA and LDC noting that the LDC contributes $15,000 per year towards Steve’s salary. Hon. Bob Doherty made a motion to approve the $100,000 payment to the city for staffing reimbursements for both 2017 and 2018. Tina Urzan seconded the motion, motion carried. VIII. Budget Mr. Strichman noted that the budget in front of them includes a couple of additional items on the top line and bottom line to help us determine our financial standing; it’s not submitted as part of the budget. Mr. Strichman went through each line item with the board members. 3 Hon. Dean Bodnar made a motion to approve the 2018 IDA Budget as presented. Susan Farrell seconded the motion, motion carried. IX. Executive Director Report 701 River Street – Mr. Strichman advised this project is going back in front of the Planning Commission now that the City Council has looked at abandoning the portion of President Street that separates the Mlock parcel from the Marshall Ray building. He advised that there will be a public hearing regarding the parcel transfer on December 7th. Mr. Miller advised that we will be able to move forward with our portion of the project once they have the public hearing in December. X. Financials Ms. Flores advised that the balance sheet shows $981,000 in assets with $670,000 in cash. She advised that the biggest change on the balance sheet is that cash went up. The board asked about a negative amount showing in the receivables. Ms. Flores advised that represents an early PILOT payment that was received. The chairman asked about the $100,000 showing under land. Ms. Flores advised that is related to the Mlock parcel. Ms. Flores advised $169,000 in income; includes admin fees for 444 River Street and a portion of 515 River Street. Mr. Miller advised that 515 River Street will be closing next week. He added that we will also get funds from 10 River Street and 701 River Street. The board noted that the project at 701 River Street would not have happened without the help from the Troy LDC; another reason to set up the fee sharing agreement. Tina Urzan made a motion to accept the financials as presented. Susan Farrell seconded the motion, motion carried. Adjournment to CRC portion of the meeting at 10:50 a.m. Tina Urzan made a motion to adjourn to the IDA portion of the meeting to convene as the CRC. Susan Farrell seconded the motion, motion carried. Brian Carroll made a motion to re-convene the IDA portion of the meeting at 10:15 a.m. Hon. Bob Doherty seconded the motion, motion carried. XI. Old Business No new business to discuss. XII. New Business No new business to discuss. XIII. Adjournment 4 Hon. Doherty spoke about the mission of our board and noted how he appreciates that over time we have worked with recipients that are considered more in need of services we offer; student housing, senior housing and lower to middle income. The chairman agreed and noted that he is happy that we have also expanding into some of the underserved areas of the city. With no other items to discuss, the IDA portion of the meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m. Tina Urzan made a motion to adjourn the IDA meeting. Hon. Bob Doherty seconded the motion, motion carried. 5 AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION (First Columbia 433 River Street, LLC Project) A regular meeting of the Troy Industrial Development Authority (the “Authority”) was convened on October 27, 2017, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at 433 River Street, Troy, New York 12180.
