II. Executive Directors Report
Alamo – The sale has not gone through but is currently in process working through
the contract details.
King Fuels – This sale has been delayed due to South Troy Industrial Access Road
issues and we may need to get an extension of the payback of CRC loan. The
remediation is going well and the gas pipeline has been installed. Phase 1 should be
completed by the end of 2023. Mr. Ross asked if someone signs off on the work
when complete. Mr. Strichman advised NYS DEC will do a final inspection.
III. Budget discussion
The budget is due to the ABO next month. A draft budget has been created and
distributed to the board members. Some of the items still need to be worked out
before adoption at the next meeting. The CRC loan will have to be added in;
$115,000 towards the sale of the Alamo and the rest for operating expenses for
2022. Mr. Ross asked if there were any additional expenditures that would come up
for the sale of the King Fuels site. Mr. Strichman advised there shouldn’t be any
large expenses, but there will be costs such as surveys and subdivision before a sale
occurs. Mr. Strichman advised that the rental and financing income line includes the
1
National Grid, BSM and County Waste rent. He noted those numbers will require
updating before approval next month. There will be an Audit and Finance Committee
meeting next month to review the budget in detail.

II. Executive Directors Report
King Fuels Remediation – The remediation of the former king fuels site is underway
and we are in early discussions regarding the sale of the property. The value is
currently $1.6 million but may sell for less due to the roadway going through the site.
DRI – The Downtown Revitalization Initiative is the $10 million grant awarded to the
City of Troy. The LDC has applied in the amount of $1 million for the district
geothermal project in Riverfront Park. The downtown BID had a request in for
$800,000 for a façade program that may end up being partially funded by the LDC
due to the BID boundary being outside the DRI district. There is also a riverwalk trail
application incorrectly showing the LDC as the applicant.
Sperry Building – The city approved the sale and it has never been completed. We
are currently in negotiations with this property. City equipment is currently in there.
Alamo – No closing has happened yet on this property.
BSM Banquet – Their loan has been renegotiated and payment is late. The address
for invoices has been updated. The owner mentioned they may have a potential
buyer for the site.

III. CRC Loan Application
Mr. Strichman advised that we have applied to the Troy CRC for a working capital
loan while we wait for the sale of properties to go through. He advised a request of
$215,000 was made to cover until the end of the year and while we wait for the sale
of the alamo to go through. The CRC will be voting on that later today. Mr. Strichman
noted that we are a component of the city and show up on their audits. He would like
us to show up in good financial position.
Steven Strichman made a motion to apply to the Troy CRC for a working
capital loan in the amount of $215,000 and receive the funding if approved.
Andy Ross seconded the motion, motion carried.
IV. Old Business
Cash Flow – A cash flow projection was sent around this morning to all the board
members which will be discussed during our financial position. He noted that the
negative ending balance does not reflect this loan or sale of properties. Mr. Ross
asked about the King Fuels amount that we are carrying compared to the potential
sale of the property. Mr. Strichman noted it appears that it contains multiple parcels
and it can be discussed with our financial people.
