The Chairman called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. I. Public Hearing-669 River Street, LLC See attached public hearing agenda. II. Minutes The board reviewed the minutes from the October 27, 2017 board meeting. Tina Urzan made a motion to approve the October 27, 2017 meeting minutes. Hon. Dean Bodnar seconded the motion, motion carried. III. 669 River Street, LLC – Authorizing Resolution The board reviewed the authorizing resolution for the project related to the public hearing that just took place. Mr. Strichman noted to the board that the building located at the project site is currently generating $4,000 a year. He advised that without the incentives, he feels the amount generated from the building would be much less. Mr. Strichman noted that the incentives from the IDA will ensure that this project gets done. He added that there are a lot of great projects happening in this area which this project will be a part of. Ms. Urzan noted that if this project does not take place, it will cost us in the long run with a deteriorated building and neighborhood. Mr. Doherty agreed and stated that we will increase the amount of money we are currently receiving and significantly improve the neighborhood at the same time. Mr. Carroll noted that this project clearly shows that the IDA’s incentives will increase the amount of money coming in. Ms. Urzan advised her main concern is the future of North Central; if nothing is put into it, nothing will happen. The board agreed and noted that we can only do the projects that are brought to us; we can’t go out and do projects. (See attached Resolution 12/17 #1) 1 Tina Urzan made a motion to approve the authorizing resolution for 669 River Street, LLC. Brian Carroll seconded the motion, motion carried. IV. IDA Fee Sharing program Mr. Strichman spoke about the administrative fee sharing policy that has been discussed in previous meetings. He advised this has been patterned after the Saratoga County IDA. He advised that when a project comes to the IDA that was facilitated by the LDC, it will be indicated on the application. He added that the IDA would share 50% of the fee for projects up to $10 Million of value and 25% for the next $10 Million. Mr. Strichman advised there will be a cap of $75,000. He noted that most of the projects do not have LDC involvement. Mr. Carroll asked how this board will decide on whether or not the fee should be shared with the LDC or will it be automatic. The board had a general discussion on the process and agreed that this board should vote to approve the fee sharing each time it occurs. Mr. Doherty noted that he feels the fee should be higher. (See attached Resolution 12/17 #2) Brian Carroll made a motion to approve the ratification of the administration fee policy. Hon. Dean Bodnar seconded the motion, motion carried. V. Executive Director report 701 River Street - Mr. Strichman spoke to the board about the project at 701 River Street; the former Marshall Ray building. He advised that the project is moving forward and are submitting an application for a Restore NY grant. He added that they will be back in front of the planning commission for review later this month or next and then they will come back in front of this board for final approvals. The chairman asked for a project pipeline report for January. VI. Financials Ms. Flores advised that the balance sheet shows $1.2 Million in assets with $800,000 in cash versus $200,000 in liability and $1 Million in equity. She advised that the biggest change on the balance sheet is the due to other governments and accounts payable; the $85,000 we are holding for Uncle Sam Garages and the management fee paid to the city of Troy. The board had a discussion about setting up a meeting on how to put our funds to use over the long term. Mr. Carroll asked that he would be willing to attend a meeting to come up with some ideas and added that he would like to see the funds be used to help a sector of the community that needs it. Mr. Strichman noted that he will set up a meeting for early January before our next meeting. Ms. Flores advised $30,000 in profit for the month of November; admin fees from 515 River Street and 10 River Street minus the management fee we pay to the City of Troy. Brian Carroll made a motion to accept the financials as presented. Tina Urzan seconded the motion, motion carried. VII. Old Business 2 RFP for Auditors - Mr. Strichman advised that we sent out an RFP for Auditing services for the next three years and received three responses back all within a thousand dollars of each other; The Bonadio Group, Wojeski & Co. and Teal, Becker and Chiaramonte. After review and discussion, Wojeski & Co. CPAs, P.C. was awarded the bid for $69,000. He added that Wojeski & Co. are a Rensselaer based business that has experience with the Rensselaer County IDA. Brian Carroll made a motion to award the Auditor’s bid to Wojeski & Co. CPAs, P.C. for the next three years in the amount of $69,000.00. Lou Anthony seconded the motion, motion carried. VIII. New Business Mr. Strichman advised that the 2018 meeting calendar is included in the packets and requires only one change for the month of March. He asked that everyone note that the meeting will be moved to March 9th. Mr. Strichman noted that the annual board member evaluations are included in the packets. He asked to get those back in as soon as possible so they can be submitted to the ABO. The chairman advised that we are also losing two of our board members due to their city council terms ending. He added that it has been his pleasure to serve with both Mr. Bodnar and Mr. Doherty. Both have contributed good sense and unbiased views at each meeting. The chairman extends his warmest thanks and good wishes for them. Ms. Urzan asked if there are replacements lined up yet. The chairman advised that we will be getting some appointees in the next few months. Mr. Strichman noted that the board members present are also appointed to three year terms and they will be renewing them at different points throughout the year in order to stagger the term dates. Mr. Doherty commented on an editorial he found from a local historian in 1908 titled “Why doesn’t Troy move forward”. The article mentioned that the effect of our politics, being so strained and conflicted, is detracting from our ability to move forward. He hopes that the work Mr. Bodnar and himself have done throughout the year’s show that they both have worked on things for the people and the betterment of the community without letting our personal differences interfere. Mr. Bodnar wanted to note that being on this board over the past few years has been very meaningful for him. He added that he has learned a lot, met a lot of people and got to understand the thinking of the developers and people with vision. Mr. Bodnar spoke about the project we spoke about today at 669 River and noted that this project caps the migration of development that has been happening north of the green island bridge that started about 30 years ago with Brown’s. He advised that when that business first started, there was nothing in that area and is glad to see how far it has come. Mr. Bodnar advised that this board should feel good about the decisions it’s made to further this progress and added it has been very rewarding. Mr. Strichman noted that it has been a pleasure working with both of them. IX. 444 River Street Mr. Strichman noted that the project being done by Vecino Group at 444 River Street is the project that started the fee sharing discussion and would like to have the board vote to vote on sharing a portion of the administration fee. Mr. Miller advised that board that 3 the project has been closed for quite some time and we have been waiting for this agreement to be finalized in order to move forward. Hon. Bob Doherty made a motion to approve sharing a portion of the administration fees received by the IDA for 444 River Street with the LDC according to the agreement. Tina Urzan seconded the motion, motion carried. X. Adjournment 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. 4 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA TROY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 669 RIVER STREET LLC DECEMBER 15, 2017 AT 10:00 A.M.

III. PROJECT SUMMARY 669 RIVER STREET LLC, for itself and/or on behalf of an entity to be formed ( collectively, 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 interest in approximately .49 acres of real property located at 669 River Street, Troy, New York 12180 (the “Land”, being more particularly identified as TMID No. 90.78-3-2.1) and the existing building structure located thereon consisting principally of an approximately 40,000 square foot four story building and related site improvements (the “Existing Improvements”), (ii) the planning, design, engineering, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation and improvement of the Land and Existing Improvements into a mixed use, multi-tenanted retail, commercial and apartment rental building, including exterior access and egress improvements, mechanical, roof, window, utility and HVAC improvements, and parking, curbage, signage and related exterior improvements (collectively, the “Improvements”), (iii) the acquisition and installation by the Company in and around the Land, Existing Improvements and Improvements of certain items of equipment and other tangible personal property necessary and incidental in connection with the Company’s development of the Project in and around the Land, Existing Improvements and Improvements (the “Equipment”, and collectively with the Land, the Existing Improvements and the Improvements, the “Facility”); and (iv) the lease of the Facility 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. IV. AGENCY COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The Company Application for Financial Assistance indicates a total project cost of approximately $3,800,000. 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 Exemption = $ 28,000.00 Sales and Use Tax Exemptions = $ 240,000.00 Estimated PILOT Savings = $1,975,873.00 Total estimated Financial Assistance = $2,243,873.00 IV. SEQRA: For purposes of the Project, the City Planning Commission served as lead agency for purposes of review pursuant to SEQRA. VI. PUBLIC COMMENTS Michael Phinney, co-owner, introduced himself to the board and spoke about the steps he has taken to date with the project. Mr. Phinney advised that he attended RPI for architecture and has stayed in the area. He noted that the building at 669 River Street is about 44000 square feet mixed use building and has gone through the planning and zoning process. Mr. Phinney advised he has gone through the State Historic review and is currently in the Federal Historic review process. Mr. Phinney advised that he is the co-owner of The Local Public Tea House located in Saratoga Springs; a property he purchased and developed with Johnathan Haynes about ten years ago. He advised it is a 10,000 square foot building that is three stories. The pub is on the first floor and our design offices are on the second and third floor. Mr. Phinney explained that when they first moved into the building their office was on the third floor and a sub-tenant and gallery were on the second floor. They designed the building to accommodate growth and it is currently full. Mr. Phinney advised that they are also expanding their design offices to a small office space in Troy. He advised their success allowed them to open the Lake Local on Saratoga Lake. He would like to bring their brand to Troy. The Troy Local will occupy the first ground level of the building as well as a basement level that opens up to the river. Mr. Phinney advised that they will add brewing operations, headed up by Mr. Haynes, that will help supply all three restaurants and help grow their brand recognition. Mr. Phinney advised the Saratoga restaurant has a great brunch following and uses local coffee roaster. He added that they would like to do their own coffee roasting in this location and hopefully add in a small bakery and café that will also help to supply all three of the restaurants with locally produced goods. Mr. Phinney advised that the middle floor of the building was approved for apartments and/or offices. After discussions, it was decided to use it for office/incubator space and have residential on the top floor. Mr. Phinney explained that they are involved in real estate and development with their main job being architecture and design. He noted that they are not interested in a quick turnaround with the real estate portion; they want to build a brand with the restaurants. The board asked why the PILOT is necessary to their project. Mr. Phinney noted that when you look at our pro forma with the PILOT, the real estate makes a small amount of money. He added that this project will be a risk for them; there are some environmental factors with the building that have to be addressed. He explained that for us to take that risk, they need to seek assistance. Mr. Phinney spoke about the turnaround that happened at the location of their first venture in Saratoga. He explained that it was considered to be off the beaten path and not a location the people wanted to visit. He advised that over time, their investment helped the area around the business by reducing criminal activity, the city installed new street lights and it became an area that people felt safe. The board noted that the PILOT incentive they are offering will not go below the amount currently being received for taxes. The current taxes will be the starting point and will gradually go up each year based on the improvements and new assessed value of the property. The chairman added that this PILOT will take a property in an area that will materially improve the property while improving the neighbor hoods viability. Mr. Phinney agreed and noted that the real estate portion of this project is secondary for us, we may make money at some point down the road, but we are more focused on success of the restaurant. He added that we will bring in a large amount in sales taxes. The board asked about how they will be affected if something changes with their federal tax credits, due to changes with the federal program. Mr. Phinney advised they will still do the project, but may have to make some slight changes. Mr. Doherty wanted to note his enthusiasm for the project; both for what they are doing in that area and the type of work they do as far as investing in an urban setting. Mr. McCandless spoke about his role in the project and noted that he has had studio space in this neighborhood for about 35 years. About three years ago he purchased the building where the Hanger is now located, hoping to create a small performance space for music and events. He noted that it was a side project for him; not his core business. Mr. McCandless noted that 669 River Street generated a lot of interest over the years, but noted that not many people wanted to take on the challenges of such a unique building. Originally he hoped that the building site would eventually be parking for The Hanger, but after discussions he saw the potential of the site. He added that Mr. Phinney and Mr. Hayes have great track records and believes this space could become a staple to the area; especially adding in the brewing and coffee roasting portion of the business. Mr. McCandless spoke about the neighborhood coming together as a whole with this restaurant bringing more people and jobs to this specific area and the other development that has taken place over the past few years. The board asked about job numbers. Mr. Phinney noted that they are planning on about 50 jobs; and that is being conservative. The Local in Saratoga has 45 year round jobs and is about 1/5 the space of this building. He added that the Lake Local is about 145 seasonal jobs and 5 year round jobs. Mr. Phinney added that the Troy location could potentially have more jobs if the ancillary projects take off. The board asked about the amount of capital invested. Mr. Phinney advised we will have close to $1 Million invested. He added that we can provide the engineering, architectural and construction management services. This helps us with getting our financing. The chairman asked if the bank will be asking for recourse. Mr. Phinney advised yes. Mr. McCandless spoke about his part in the project explaining that the Hanger will be combined with the project at 669 River and become his investment into this project. Mr. Nathan asked about the cluster or properties and the condition of the streets and traffic in that area. Mr. McCandless agreed that the traffic in that area does need to be slowed and made safer for pedestrians. Mr. Strichman noted that the Uncle Sam Connection is currently out to bid and will begin construction next spring. He added that there will be bike lanes clearly marked, traffic calming and sidewalk improvements that will help the situation. The board agreed that it can be a dangerous spot. Mr. Strichman added that the city has a complete streets policy with a committee that will be looking citywide at major thoroughfares and how to implement improvements. Ms. DalPos asked about the timeline of the project once all approvals and credits are approved. Mr. Phinney advised that the tax credits are a big part of that and we should know something in the next few months. He advised that once that is determined, we have some additional details to complete and then work can start in late fall 2018 or early spring of 2019. VII.

Dean Bodnar made a motion to approve the September 15, 2017 meeting minutes. II. R Lou Anthony seconded the motion, motion carried. First Columbia 433 River Street, LLC – Authorizing Resolution T Mr. Strichman advised that we need to make a correction to the authorizing resolution for AF 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 D 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 R 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. T Haynes owns and operates two restaurants already in Saratoga. He added that this will AF 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. VI. D Brian Carroll seconded the motion, motion carried. Ratification of Administration Fee Policy VII. R 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. City Staffing Agreement 2017 and 2018 T AF 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 D 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 R 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. T Tina Urzan made a motion to accept the financials as presented. AF 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.
