TROY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Board of Director Meeting Minutes October 9, 2015 8:30 a.m. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Kevin O’Bryan, Bill Dunne, Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan and Andy Ross ABSENT: Hon. Ken Zalewski ALSO IN ATTENDANCE: Bob Ryan, Andy Piotrowski, Ken Crowe, Jim Conroy, Cory Nelson, Vic Christopher, Kyle Engstrom, Sharon Martin, Deanna Dal Pos and Denee Zeigler Minutes The Chairman called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. I. Minutes The board reviewed the minutes from the September 11, 2015 board meetings. Andy Ross made a motion to approve the September 11, 2015 board meeting minutes. Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan seconded the motion, motion carried. II. 50/50 Façade Grant Requests The Chairman advised that the façade grants have all been reviewed ahead of time. He asked if the board members had any of questions for the applicants before they vote and asked that they vote on all of the façade grants as one. Dep. Mayor Pete Ryan made a motion to approve the Façade grants listed below:  71 4th Street, Marvin Fine  126 Colleges Ave, Louis J Caruso Jr.  2 Lee Ave, DP2Lee, LLC  451 Hoosick Street, Devito Properties  508 Grand Street, Michael Nofal  514 Grand Street, Greg Cholakis  22 Second Street, Vic Christopher and Heather LaVine  626 1st Avenue, Dan Marchese 1 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.

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.

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. Ross asked about their other funding sources. Mr. Dunne advised that they have other R sponsorships and grant funding.

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.

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.

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. XII. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 9:41 a.m. Andy Ross made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Hon. Ken Zalewski seconded the motion, motion carried.

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.
