Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
The chairman thanked the applicants for applying and doing the projects. Bill Dunne
advised they will be sent approval letters and a check list of items that will be needed
throughout the process.
III. 41-43 Third Street
Jim Conroy, a licensed real estate broker with Berkshire, Hathaway and Blake
Realtors, introduced himself to the board members and advised that he represents
the property of 41-43 Third Street. He advised that he supports the growth of the
City and appreciates that we are trying to do the best for the City. He added that our
course of action of foreclosing and evicting the tenants does not get us where we
want to be. He added that the loan was given for a reason; to improve the building
and to help establish a new business and advance the goals of this organization. Mr.
Conroy advised that for whatever the reason, there was an issue of paying back of
the loan and understands that there were other liens put on the property because of
contractors that were not paid. Mr. Conroy suggests that the best way for the TLDC
to get its money back, the lienholders to get paid and everyone to walk away with
better project quickly is to allow the continued market and sale of the building. He
advised that he has received an offer from an individual that will provide enough
revenue to pay off all of the liens, pay the LDC and pay for his commission. He
stressed that this would be the quickest way to get everyone paid. If you are
successful in continuing with the foreclosure and eviction of the O’Brien’s, it will be a
long process to complete. Mr. Conroy advised there are also arguments that may
have not been heard fully. I encourage you to allow the marketing and sale of this
property. It will help fulfill the original intent of the loan, get a better development and
the O’Brien’s will accomplish theirs. Foreclosure and eviction will cause the process
to start from the beginning. Mr. Conroy advised that he has shown the building 6-10
times and has gotten interest each time. He advised that it will take a lot to rehab the
building and advised that the private market would be the best way to get that done.
Mr. Conroy advised the board to contact him for any other information. The board
thanked him.
IV. BDAP Loan request
Infinity Cafe –
Bill Dunne advised the board that Infinity Café applied for a loan to expand their
business into an adjacent space. The application was previously approved. The
applicant had some delays, but is not ready to move forward on the loan. There
have been some updates to their term sheet and an authorizing resolution has been
drawn up. A copy was been given to the board for review. Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan
spoke in favor of the projects expansion. Mr. Ross asked about the location of the
project. Mr. Ryan advised that it is located at 172 River Street; one of the apartment
buildings that Tom Rossi had renovated. (See Attached Resolution 10/15 #1)
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan made a motion to approve the authorizing
resolution for Infinity Café’s BDAP loan in the amount of $23,500.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
2
Troy Kitchen –
Mr. Dunne introduced Cory Nelson to the board. Mr. Nelson spoke to the board
about the project. He advised Troy Kitchen will be a gourmet food court where there
will be five vendors total; four food vendors and one coffee. We had an opportunity
to move to the former Pioneer Market and close on it next week. The chairman
asked if Pioneer Bank still owned the property. Mr. Nelson advised yes. They were
very helpful with the process.
Mr. Nelson spoke about the floor plan of the space. He explained that the layout of
the building works for the type of businesses that will be going in. We want to utilize
as much of the equipment that is already there. The vendors will be able share the
commercial kitchen. He wants to bring life and excitement to that block and thinks
that this project will help with that. Mr. Nelson said the best way to describe this
project is as a food business incubator. It will assist food entrepreneurs start up their
own locations without a lot of overhead costs and less risk. Mr. Nelson advised that
they want to capture the growing workforce that is coming to the downtown. The set
up will give people a variety at a reasonable price at a quicker pace than a sit down
restaurant.
The board had a general discussion on the purchase of the property and the layout
of the vendors sharing the space. Mr. Nelson advised that there is currently a large
hood in the space. There will be three vendors sharing the hood; the other vendors
do not require the hood. Mr. Nelson advised that there will be room for each vendor
to do set up and prep work at their own booth. There will be some empty space for
lines and future seating. The board discussed the possibility that the LDC would be
taking first position on the loan. Mr. Nelson will discuss with the lender. The board
agreed that the project will be great for that area and felt it should move forward.
Bill Dunne made a motion to approve the BDAP loan request for
Troy Kitchen in the amount of $50,000.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan seconded the motion, motion carried.
V. Financial Services Consultant
The board had a general discussion about the background of the CFO search. He
advised that CFO for Hire will allow for more accountability to us. Mr. Dunne advised
that SaxBST will still be used for the yearly audits. A staff member from CFO for
Hire will have space in one of our empty offices and will be working with Andrew
Piotrowski and Joe Mazzariello to make it a smooth transition.
Andy Ross made a motion to enter into an agreement with James
Lozano of CFO for Hire for fiscal oversight of the Troy LDC.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan seconded the motion, motion carried.
VI. Former E-Lot building
3
Mr. Dunne spoke about the cleanup process that will be starting soon by National
Grid at the former King Fuels site. He advised that phase II of the project involves
digging down about 35 feet and mixing in a cementatious material with the soil to
lock the pollutants in the ground. Mr. Dunne advised that the digging will be very
close to the foundation of the building on site and there is a concern that it may
compromise the building to the point that it will have to come down. He advised that
it is not definite, but the asbestos survey being done will give them an idea of what
type of exposure the building contains. He advised the $500 being requested is an
additional amount that will go towards completing the asbestos survey. Mr. Ryan
asked when this would be happening. Mr. Dunne advised that it will be completed in
the next few weeks.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan made a motion to approve the additional $500
to be used towards the asbestos survey at the E-lot building
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
VII. Demolition of 2265 5th Ave
Mr. Dunne spoke about 2265 5th Avenue; a foreclosed property that was donated to
the TLDC by Wells Fargo. He advised that the property is derelict and currently
vacant. Mr. Dunne advised the property is adjacent to the current First Columbia
parking lot and may be a parcel they are interested in as part of a future transit
center and parking facility. Mr. Dunne advised that they also received a $10,000
donation along with the building to underwrite costs.
Mr. Dunne explained that he would like to keep the building in place; however, the
condition of the building is such that heavy snow might necessitate the building
coming down. He advised that the conditions in the building will not allow us to go
inside to do an asbestos survey so the building would have to be taken down with
asbestos in place. He advised there have been some quotes received and it should
not exceed $50,000. The board noted this was a prospective request and asked if
First Columbia had any interest in the building. Mr. Dunne advised not at this time.
Mr. Ross asked why we cannot do an asbestos survey now. Mr. Dunne advised that
we hired Chazen Engineering to do an engineering report. The result of the report
stated the building was unsafe to enter to do any inspections. Our City Engineer
agreed with the report and also generated a report.
Andy Ross made a motion to approve up to $50,000.00 in emergency
demolition funding for 2265 5th Avenue if needed.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan seconded the motion, motion carried.
VIII. Financials
Andrew Piotrowski went over the assets with the board members. He noted that
footnotes have been added next to the items that required more information. The first
note pointed out the $25,000 is the balance of monies held for the parking study paid
to the TLDC by Monument Square. The second note stated that one account is
outstanding as of September 30th. The third note reflects that the September invoices
were paid in the beginning of October. Mr. Piotrowski explained that as of today the
balance is zero. The last note references the grants approved by the TLDC board
4
that are pending paperwork for disbursement. The Chairman thanked Mr. Piotrowski
for making the updates to the financials and added it is very helpful.
Mr. Piotrowski went over the foot notes on the Operating Statement. He advised that
there is a negative balance listed under penalty charges on late payments due to the
Freelot write off. The second note shows the value of the 2265 Fifth Avenue
donation. Note number three shows the remainder of BEDI funds used for Section
108 loan payments in 2015. The note number four indicates the expenditure from the
Freelot lease termination agreement. Note five shows the grants approved as of the
September 2015 board meeting. The last note indicates the interest accrued as of
September 30, 2015 on the Section 108 loan.
Andy Ross made a motion to accept the financials as presented.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan seconded the motion, motion carried.
IX. Budget
Mr. Dunne spoke about the five year budget for 2016 that the ABO requires us to
post. Copies were given to the board members for review. Mr. Dunne advised that
once CFO for Hire comes on board, we can work closely to make the budge more
accurate. The chairman asked the amount that the IDA gives to the City. Mr. Dunne
advised $100,000. Mr. Ross asked if this is something that has to be approved. Mr.
Dunne advised it has to be adopted by the board and sent in to the ABO. Mr. Dunne
advised it is a working budget.
Andy Ross made a motion to approve the five year budget for 2016
as presented to the board.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan seconded the motion, motion carried.
X. Adjournment
Jim Conroy asked the board when he would get a response to his question. Mr.
Dunne advised that we may not be able to discuss at this time due to pending
litigation. The Chairman advised that there is a strong consensus with this board to
move forward with the legal strategy that we have in place. He advised we will
continue with this course of action. Mr. Conroy advised that he disagrees, but
understands. The Chairman asked if there was any other business.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:01 a.m.
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.

the show. Ms. Tesnakis advised she anticipates another growth year. This year

V. Funding Requests
Troy BID –
Mr. Dunne spoke about the Downtown Troy BID’s request for $25,000 annual
sponsorship to be used for marketing the downtown and promotional materials. He
advised that part of our mission is to lessen the burden of government and the BID is
a quasi-governmental agency. A packet was given to the board outlining the
proposal. The board questioned if the City makes an annual donation. Mr. Dunne
advised yes, in the form of in kind donation of DPW services. The board noted that
D
the BID is not located in any other part of the City, only the downtown. Mr. Dunne
noted that the funds should be used towards promotional materials, not salaries or
other benefits. He added that the LDC’s logo will be on all printed material. Mr. Ross
asked about their other funding sources. Mr. Dunne advised that they have other
R
sponsorships and grant funding. Mr. Zalewski questioned the wording on the
request that states annual sponsorship. The Chairman advised that they will come
to us annually, but we are only approving for funding for one year.
T
Bill Dunne made a motion to authorize a sponsorship in the amount
of $25,000 to the Downtown Troy BID.
AF
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
Transport Troy –
Barbara Nelson spoke to the board about the grant request in front of them. Mrs.
Nelson advised that Transport Troy is completely volunteer citizens work group.
Mrs. Nelson noted that they are looking into becoming either a not for profit or
incorporating in the near future. Mrs. Nelson advised that the past three years’ worth
of their accomplishments is listed in the packet. She advised that they have worked
closely with several community groups; Troy Bike Rescue, Capital Roots and TAP.
Mr. Miller advised that we have done work with TAP.
Mrs. Nelson noted that this is the 3rd Annual Collar City Pre-Ramble is coming up
and while getting together paperwork for funding, they realized that there are small
amounts of funding needed for each of the groups they work with. She advised that
they decided to put all of the amounts together in one request. The board asked for
the total amount they are asking for. Ms. Nelson advised $22,750 is needed for the
four different activities.
Mrs. Nelson advised that there is a direct link to bikeable/walkable communities and
economic development. She advised that our community is on the edge of being
that community that people will come to bike, and use alternative transportation to
3
live and work. Mrs. Nelson noted that there are a good percentage of residents that
do not own cars. She advised Transport Troy has been working with CDTA, Capital
Roots and the Independent Living Center. Mrs. Nelson noted the biggest
accomplishment of her group has been drafting and getting passed the complete
streets ordinance.
The board members asked about the other stakeholders. Mrs. Nelson noted NE
Health, NYSCA and Stewart’s to name a few. The board noted that the funding
being asked for by the LDC is much more than the funding requested of other
groups. Mrs. Nelson agreed and advised that this is their first attempt at a large
funding request.
Mr. Ross asked if they have the horsepower to carry out the items listed in the
request. Jim Lewis spoke about the strong base of people they have to working on
the projects listed. Mrs. Nelson advised that the pre-rambles will eventually lead up
to the Collar City Ramble in a few years that will link to the other trails and
community events. Mrs. Nelson spoke about the importance about being able to
step out your door in an urban environment with more people moving back into cities.
Mr. Lewis spoke about the different demographics that they looked at; urban inner
D
city that does not have access to transportation, young entrepreneur’s that are
looking for a 21st Century City that is connected and has healthy activities available.
He also noted that they are working with an artistic spirit. The creative crosswalks
project was able to get the community involved in a fun way, helping to create a
R
place that they want to live. Mr. Lewis spoke about other community’s creative use
of open spaces. He advised that we don’t have a lot of open space, but can make
what we have great.
T
The board members spoke in general about the amount of the request and
suggested that they start at $12,500. The chairman wanted to note that he sits on
AF
the board of one of the other sponsors. He also advised that a lower donation from
us may help with leverage with some the other sponsors. Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Lewis
agreed and thanked the board for the amount they suggested.
Mr. Zalewski asked if they are a currently a nonprofit. Mrs. Nelson advised not right
now, but they are working on it. The chairman advised they should strongly consider
it. Not having that status could limit what other groups are able donate. She added
that they have been holding core leadership organizational meetings throughout the
summer. Mrs. Nelson advised one of her greatest assets has been working with the
National Parks Services. They have received a grant from NPS for the past two
years in the form of time from one of their employees. They have made a lot of
progress with his assistance. Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan noted that this group has been
working closely with the City on the Riverfront Trail Program and was instrumental in
re-resurrecting the grant funding. Mrs. Nelson spoke about the process they have
gone through bringing back the bike trail grant. Mr. Zalewski asked if bike fix-up
stations was part of her program. Mr. Lewis advised that the project he is asking
about was offered through one of the local fraternities.

Transport Troy in the amount of $12,500.
Hon. Ken Zalewski seconded the motion, motion carried.

Victorian Stroll –
The board members had a general discussion about the request in front of them for
sponsorship of the 2015 Victorian Stroll. They were all familiar with the event and
had no questions.
Andy Ross made a motion to approve sponsorship in the amount of
$5,000 to the Victorian Stroll.
Hon. Ken Zalewski seconded the motion, motion carried.
City of Troy –
Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan spoke about the funding request from The City of Troy to
assist with Police overtime. Mr. Ryan advised that the Troy BID is very active
throughout the summer with multiple events. Events such as Rockin’ on the River
have been taken to a whole new level and they realized that additional police
presence was needed. Mr. Ryan advised that this additional police presence put a
strain on The City budgets so the BID was asked to fund some of the costs.
He advised that The City is asking for $18,000 to help offset the costs. The board
D
asked if this is factored in when they are creating their budget. Mr. Ryan advised
that he is not sure how the budget is put together, but they have had a discussion
with the BID to limit the number of officers and to help come up with a better way to
manage. Mr. Zalewski noted that we just approved a $25,000 grant to sponsor the
R
Troy BID and here is another request to fund them. He thought that the taxpayers in
the business district helped to fund and sustain the BID. Mr. Zalewski added that he
feels as if the LDC is becoming a financing arm of the BID. The board agreed and
asked if the BID could come directly to them for the request so they can ask them a
T
few questions about the funding request and ask budget questions. Mr. Ross asked
if they could hire security instead of using the Police. Mr. Ryan advised that a Police
AF
presence is needed at the events. Mr. Ross asked if it had to be overtime that is
used. Mr. Ryan advised due to contractual reasons and the time of the events it
works out to be overtime.
Hon. Ken Zalewski made a motion to table the funding request from
The City of Troy in the amount of $18,000 to assist with cost of
Police OT during Troy BID events.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion tabled.
VI. Former E-lot building
Mr. Dunne advised he has been approached by the City to possibly utilize the site of
the former E-lot building to store road salt. Mr. Ryan advised that there is a deep
bay that a truck can fit into. Mr. Dunne questioned the wear on the concrete floor.
Mr. Ross added that there may be some wear on the building itself. Mr. Ryan
advised that they can have the City Engineer look into it. Mr. Ryan advised they
used to use the Sperry Warehouse, but the walls are starting to show some wear
and it is becoming unstable. Mr. Miler advised if they would have to set up a license
agreement. He suggested adding the Alamo into the agreement because there is
currently no agreement for the City’s use of that site.
5
VII. Surveillance Notification signs for King Fuels site
Mr. Dunne advised that the King Fuels site currently has no tenants. Security
cameras have been installed. Andrew Kreshik has asked that signs be installed to
notify people that there are surveillance cameras on site. Mr. Dunne noted that the
cost of furnishing and installing the signs is $775.00.
Hon. Ken Zalewski made a motion to approve $775.00 in funding for
surveillance notification signs at the King Fuels site.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
VIII. Temple University
Mr. Dunne spoke to the board about the success of the Temple University student
project that took place last year. He advised one of the byproducts was a book
detailing the students work. Mr. Dunne noted that several of the ideas will be used in
the CFA applications. He noted that he has a copy for each of the board members
and one will be donated to the Troy Public Library. Mr. Dunne wanted to note that
the students did a great job with this project.
IX.
D
Financials
Andrew Piotrowski went over the financials with the board members. He noted that
R
there is a big decrease listed on the first page of the balance sheet due to the Portec
mortgage payoff approved in December. Mr. Piotrowski advised that there are no
other large items. He advised that there was not much activity on the operating
statement. He noted the new income item relating to the donation of 2265 Fifth
T
Avenue. Mr. Dunne explained that the property was donated to us by Wells Fargo
along with $10,000. Mr. Miller advised if that donation is noted on the financials. Mr.
AF
Piotrowski advised yes, under cash deposits. Mr. Dunne noted that an outside
engineer was hired to do a structural analysis of the building and it was determined
that the building is not salvageable. Mr. Dunne advised that the report is currently on
the City Engineer’s desk to move forward on demolition. Mr. Ryan asked for a
breakdown of the $32,500. Mr. Piotrowski advised that $22,500 is for the assessed
value of the property and the $10,000 is the donation. Mr. Ryan asked about back
taxes. Mr. Miller advised that would have been taken care of by the bank.
X. Old Business
Mr. Dunne spoke about the current status of the façade grant funding. He noted that
there are currently four separate grant funds; three designated areas and one
general area. Mr. Dunne asked to move funding from the designated areas to
replenish the general grant fund. The Chairman asked if it is segregated on the
financials or if they are all listed together. Mr. Piotrowski advised they are all noted
in the cash to time deposits. Mr. Dunne advised that $75,000 would cover the deficit
and leave some available for recently awarded and future grants. Mr. Zalewski
asked about the current status of the funds in each of the areas. Mr.Dunne advised
Little Italy has $45,000 available, 2nd Avenue has $35,000 available, Pawling Avenue
has $40,000 available. The general fund is in a deficit of $55,000.01. None of the
amounts reflect the grants approved today. The board had a general discussion
about the areas that have responded to the grant and the success of the program.
6
Mr. Zalewski noted that we can use this information to help spread the word in some
of the areas that are not utilizing the grant.
Hon. Ken Zalewski made a motion to move $75,000 from the three
designated façade grant areas to the general façade grant fund.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
XI. New Business
444 River Street-
Mr. Miller spoke about the recent purchase of 444 River Street by Vecino Group New
York, LLC. He noted that we had set up an LDA that defined the project and outlined
a specific mix of units. Vecino Group recently applied to the Department of Housing
and Community Renewal for additional funding and has been asked to modify the
mix of units. Mr. Dunne explained that originally they were going to have a total of
75 apartments; 57 of the units market rate and the remaining 18 up to 90% AMI. The
supplementary round of funding will allow them to move through the process quicker.
Mr. Dunne explained that HCR asked that of the 18 subsidized units, 8 of them be at
D
60% AMI. Mr. Dunne noted that he is not opposed to those numbers and it will help
to move the project along. The Chairman asked why a change in the makeup of the
units requires action from this board. Mr. Miller advised that the LDA and the loan
agreement define the project to be what we previously conceived it to be. The
R
omnibus agreement in front of them will change the definition of the project, but hold
them to the obligations.
The board had a general discussion on the small parcel of land that is across the
T
street. Mr. Dunne advised that it was in front of the City Council at one point, but
there was some confusion and it was not voted on. Mr. Miller advised that parcel will
AF
have to go in front of the City Council again at some point.
Hon. Ken Zalewski made a motion to approve the omnibus
resolution for 444 River Street.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
701 River Street –
Mr. Miller gave an update to the board about the property at 701 River Street that the
LDC planned on receiving as a donation last year. Since that time, the property was
donated to another group who has engaged with a developer to put in senior living
style apartments. The City is currently in litigation because the donation of the
property goes against the reverter that was attached to the building. Mr. Miller
advised that the City, the seller and buyer have been in conversation to work out all
of the details and possibly keep the reverter clause for the new buyer. Mr. Miller
advised that an omnibus settlement agreement was put together that they would like
the LDC to be a party to. The settlement agreement has a monetary value that
favors the City and the LDC for $30,000 placeholder to cover costs and fees. The
board had a general discussion about the City’s reverter clause and questioned if
going through this process will be worthwhile. The Chairman asked if there were any
other questions or concerns about the agreement.
7
Hon. Ken Zalewski made a motion to approve the omnibus
settlement agreement regarding 701 River Street.
Andy Ross the motion, motion carried.

Overview:
Troy Kitchen is a gourmet food court, located in Downtown Troy. The concept pairs food
vendors, music, wine, and craft beer to create a unique dining and entertainment experience.
Guests of Troy Kitchen will be able to select from 4 permanent food vendors, a coffee bar, and a
variety of craft beers and wines.
The space will be not only a food destination, but also a sought out entertainment space in the
Capital Region. The daytime target demographic includes the growing Downtown Troy
workforce, as well as the various college students nearby. The afterhours and weekend crowd
will extend to all reaches of people in the Capital Region that often find themselves in Troy's
beautiful downtown for nightlife and a lively social atmosphere.
Troy Kitchen will greatly benefit the modern day food entrepreneur, by reducing the barrier of
entry into the industry, offering lower cost rent, and providing full access to an onsite
commercial cooking facility. Food based businesses that may not have the capital to open an
independent brick and mortar location will have the opportunity at Troy Kitchen to both produce
and sell their product at a prominent central location in Downtown Troy. Each vendor in Troy
Kitchen will employ a minimum of 3 people bringing the total number of minimum jobs created
within Troy Kitchen to 18.
Operations Summary:
Troy Kitchen will be owned and managed by Troy Kitchen LLC. As an operator, Troy Kitchen
LLC will rent 5 spaces to individual food and coffee vendors. Troy Kitchen LLC will operate a full
beer and wine bar within the space. Each vendor will have full access to an on-site shared
commercial kitchen, allowing them to prepare food to be sold at their vending stations. Vendors
will pay a flat monthly fee.
Hours of Operation:
Vendors will be allowed access the space before and after the hours of operation for food
preparation.
