Dear Miss Ridley,

nec1=1ven n FEB 1 2 2018 u BY-· ____ _

As the discussion continues regarding the benefits and detriments of medica l marijuana, our association's members will be working and watching in our community. Any decision to allow any usage will have an immediate and long-term effect on real estate and property owners.

With the city of Mt. Pleasant being poised to take an active vote on the issue of medical marijuana being produced and distributed within it's city limits, our association would like to impress upon you the importance of keeping a minimum of a 1,000-foot buffer zone between any marijuana production or distribution center and any public or private schools. Being in an industry that is ever reliant on continuing education, we feel that allowing such a controversial issue, with it's public as well as it's unintended imagery, has no place near an under-age learning institution.

Our local and national association stand for real property rights, while also respecting and recognizing

specific situations that would pose a risk for one or more parties.

Sincerely,

Julie Rush, President

Request for Proposal.pdf

From: "Kristin Tencza" <[email protected]> To: "Lents, Allison" <[email protected]> Subject: Applicant Selection System: Vetting Process

Allison,

I greatly appreciate you taking the time to speak with me earlier today. Please read through this email reiterating our conversation earlier today in its entirety and send it to the other commissioners. I’ve included a brief overview of our company for the sole purpose of adequately informing the other commissioners in regard to who we are.

Wild Bill’s Overview

Wild Bill’s Tobacco is the largest tobacco retailer in the state with over 70+ locations and we are the 4th largest in the U.S. We are a law-abiding corporate citizen who does our due diligence and has expertise in operating under a heavily regulated industry (tobacco). We recently started our medical marihuana company—Oasis Wellness Centers and are looking to delve into the depths of another heavily regulated industry. We have been in contact with 250+ municipalities across the state inquiring in regard to action or the absence thereof under the guise of Public Act 281: Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (hereafter referred to as MMFLA). Members of our general legal counsel have analyzed draft ordinances across the state. We have sat in on work sessions and we have attended meetings with Shelley Edgerton and Andrew Brisbo at the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. We have personally assisted municipalities such as Lansing, Niles, Bangor Township and Sturgis with the drafting of their MMFLA ordinances. Wild Bill’s is a well established business and we plan to employ the same ethical business praxes within Oasis Wellness Centers. We are looking to be a big player in the new commercial medical marihuana industry and we have already been approved for our 320,000 square foot grow facility in Bangor Township which is a $20 million investment.

MMMA Mishap and MMFLA to the Rescue

Wild Bill’s pushes a very specific agenda when it comes to our involvement in the medical marihuana industry and we are not shy about it. We firmly believe that the MMFLA presents the perfect opportunity to regulate the activity pertaining to medical marihuana and that it presents the chance to remove the bad actors from the industry entirely. The purpose and legislative intent of the MMFLA is to provide a safe and regulated environment for patients to purchase their medicine and to allow market forces to drive illegal home growing operations out of the basements. The MMFLA takes a black market driven by unregulated basement operations and legitimizes it into a real and legal commercial market that will bring revenue to municipalities across the state per the established statute mandating a 3% marijuana excise tax on all provisioning centers operating within the confines of any given municipality. Patients will go to provisioning centers to obtain their medicine and caregivers who have been growing or harvesting illegally since the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act passed in 2008 will lose the funds to continue operating illegally. When illegally operating caregivers lose their funds they will no longer be able to supply black market dispensaries and the black market operations will close down.

Applicant Vetting Systems

What we push for more specifically is referred to as an applicant vetting system. We believe that any municipality who plans to opt-in or has opted-in under the guise of the MMFLA should put a hard cap on the number of provisioning center license types and facilities allowed within the municipality (we recommend 1 for approximately every 10,000 populace) and let the cream rise to the top so to speak. With an applicant vetting system, you could decide that you wish to allow for three provisioning centers

within your municipality and then heavily vet out the applicants based off of a particular criterion so as to ensure that the most qualified and wholesome operators are granted issuance of the licenses. We encourage the imposition of a well though-out, merit based selection system similar to the City of Lansing’s scoring system and rubric criterion (see sections 1300.5-1300.6), the City of Hazel Park’s vetting system (see sections 5.04.040-5.04.050), or the City of Niles request for proposal process (see attached). The Lansing rubric has a long list of criterion including but not limited to: lack of criminality, proof of legally acquired liquidity, patient education program, security plan, employee training plan along with job creation expectancy, drug and alcohol awareness program, proposed business and municipal investment plan, proposed promotional and marketing plan, charitable plans and strategies, communal outreach plan, presentation of financial structure, etc. The Hazel Park vetting system is less extensive and was crafted for a municipality of a smaller size in comparison to Lansing or Niles but it still allows them to select three operators based off of merit. While the Niles request for proposal process requires criterion similar to Lansing’s scoring system including: executive summary, relevant industry experience, proof of insurance, proposed building diagram, lack of criminality, full description of facility operational plans, full acknowledgement of facility to law enforcement, applicant licensure history, history of payment delinquency etc. The Niles request for proposal process is similar to what takes place when a liquor quota license becomes available due to expanding populace. In the event that a quota license is made available for issuance, the process that takes place for selection of a recipient to be granted issuance of the license is similar in nature to a business interview where each entity gets a chance to demonstrate how it would best serve the community if it were to be granted the license. If you wouldn’t implement a lottery system to select a seller of alcohol (a legal substance), then why would you utilize a lottery system to select a seller of a schedule 1 drug federally speaking? The Problem with Relying on Prequalification from LARA as a Vetting System LARA has made it clear they will not be doing any extensive vetting of applicants at the state level. LARA is simply seeking applications that are completed in their entirety, they do not have the time, resources, nor the man power to properly and heavily vet out applicants and this is something that they assume is taking place at the municipal level. LARA requires proof of lack of criminality and the minimum capitalization requirements. However, they do not consider other matters of importance such as business experience or expertise. There are people in the marijuana business who have committed criminal acts but have not been caught. Currently, there are a whole slew of dispensaries operating illegally in Detroit. These business owners are technically felons as they are not abiding by the state law but they have not been caught and prosecuted. Characters such as this are able to pass prequalification at the state level. Relying on LARA to regurgitate applicants to your municipality at random means that the municipality is at risk of licensing operators who have not adequately demonstrated their ability to be a good operator. LARA is going to randomly generate applications needing their rubber stamp of approval which is a process similar in nature to picking names out of a hat. This process takes 3-4 months in total and there is no specific order implemented throughout the process. If I turn my prequalification application in today and John Doe turns his in two weeks from now, he very well could receive his completed prequalification months before I receive mine. Putting careful aforethought into the applicant selection process is imperative because it essentially allows you to regulate the market within your municipality and the legislative intent of the MMFLA is to bring heavy regulation into fruition in order to fully stabilize the newly burgeoning medical marijuana market. Therefore, it is up to municipalities to take the reigns by carving out formal applicant expectations so as to ensure that only the right types of characters are spearheading this newly commercialized business. Importance of Applicant Selection Process The aforementioned applicant vetting systems allow each municipality to sift through applicants based on the quality of information they are able to demonstrate in their application, as well as the type of character they possess as individuals, and the ethical business praxes they employ within their entities and emphasize in their business or operational plans. Application process is crucial in terms of licensure because you have all different types of characters applying for licenses under the guise of the MMFLA. John Doe, a registered primary caregiver who has been illegally growing or harvesting in his basement for eight years see the MMFLA as an opportunity to legitimize his illegal business. He can obtain prequalification through LARA as well as demonstrate the bare minimum including a site plan, a business plan, a security plan etc. but the quality of those plans should be deliberated based on their merit or lack thereof. Highly qualified candidates are well able to demonstrate that they have sustained the wherewithal to run and manage a successful business. A lottery based system is unable to determine the most qualified applicant and will not provide ensurance that the most wholesome and qualified applicants

3

receive licensure, nor will it substantiate that the applicant selected is the one best able to contribute communally. Deciding to select applicants through a lottery puts a municipality at risk of licensing a faulty operator. Selecting an applicant at random by way of lottery system leaves licensure up to chance and does not mandate or necessitate that the most qualified applicants will be selected as operators. We have investors in California and we have seen how the lottery systems go. Hundreds, even thousands of people camp out in hopes of receiving a license. We saw bodyguards, fist fights, and even people paying thousands of dollars just for a better spot in line. We trust that this is not the kind of chaos you want to bring into your community. Ergo, we are huge proponents of the implementation of a merit based selection system when it comes to the issuance of medical marihuana licenses. I have attached two sample ordinances (Lansing and Hazel Park) that have been adopted and are in effect, as well as a request for proposal process (Niles) so that you may view the aforementioned applicant vetting systems. We’ve assisted these municipalities in creating applicant vetting systems and we firmly believe in their ability to entirely eradicate the bad actors from this industry. By implementing an applicant vetting system, a municipality has the power to alleviate stress as they are well aware of the quality, character and morale of the entities operating under a license within their jurisdiction. Should you have any questions, comments, concerns or wish to seek additional information please do not hesitate to give me a call.

COMMISSION LETTER #029-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 21, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: BIDS AND QUOTATIONS a. Mower and V-Plow

The attached memo from DPW Director John Zang indicates that both a mower and a v-plow were scheduled and budgeted for replacement in 2018. As the Parks and Motor Pool departments reviewed the needs and the available equipment it is recommended the purchase of one piece of equipment from Spartan Distributors will best meet the needs of the Parks department. This purchase will allow for year-round and more versatile use of the equipment. The attached flyer shows the equipment and how it can be converted. It should be noted that this purchase only includes the mower and the v-plow and does not include the snow blower this is shown at the bottom of the flyer. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the purchase of a Toro Groundmaster from Spartan Distributors for $36,033 and the appropriate budget amendment.

b. Cab and Chassis Purchase

The attached memo from DPW Director John Zang recommends the purchase of a Ford F-350 cab and chassis from Krapohl Ford at a price of $26,167. This purchase was budgeted for in 2018 and is the first piece of the purchase with additional equipment to be added on. Based on the favorable pricing from Ford, we are recommending a sole source purchase for this equipment. Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the purchase of the Ford F-350 cab and chassis from Krapohl Ford in the amount of $26,167.

To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager February 13, 2018 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: Approve Purchase of Toro Groundsmaster 7200 Mower with Polar Trac™ V-Plow Attachment and Budget Amendment

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary Request: The City Commission is requested to approve the purchase of a Toro Groundsmaster 7200 mower with Polar Trac™ and a V-plow attachment from Spartan Distributors, Incorporated of Sparta, Michigan, for $36,033, and a budget amendment of $933.

Reason for Purchase: As part of the Motor Pool capital replacement plan, Unit 444, a 2008 Toro Groundsmaster mower, and Unit 450, a 2010 Polaris Sportsman ATV, are scheduled for replacement this year. These units are used by the Parks Department for mowing and snow removal in the parks, trail system and at City Hall. Instead of replacing the existing units with equivalent new units, the Parks Department suggests purchasing a 2018 Toro Groundsmaster 7200 mower with Polar Trac™ and a V-plow attachment. The Polar Trac™ system consists of a climate controlled hard cab and removable rubberized track that transforms the mower into a snow removal machine, and allows the unit to be used year-round. The tracks are installed over the wheels to provide increased traction for snow removal or in overly muddy conditions, and can be removed for the mowing season.

The Toro Groundsmaster can be purchased at a significant cost savings through the National IPA procurement program. The National IPA is a no-cost program that operates similarly to State of Michigan’s MiDeal program and allows its members to benefit from the cooperative buying power of more than 50,000 entities nationwide. Spartan Distributors is the sole Toro dealer for commercial equipment in Michigan that participates in the National IPA program. The cost is as follows.

Toro Groundsmaster 7200 w/Polar Trac™ $31,833.00 V-Plow with Hydraulic Angle $ 4,200.00 Total $36,033.00

Equipment Purchased Separately: Toro Groundsmaster 7200 without V-Plow $31,833.00 V-Plow with Hydraulic Angle $ 4,200.00 Polaris Sportsman ATV $ 7,243.95 Total $43,276.95

Vendor Name and Address: Reason for Selection: Spartan Distributors, Inc. National IPA contract No. 2017025 487 W. Division Street Sparta, MI 49345 Method of Purchase: Direct Bill As you can see, we can save over $7,000 by purchasing one machine for multiple uses. The amount budgeted for the replacement of both Unit 444 and 450 combined is $35,100. The cost for the new Groundsmaster and V-plow attachment through the National IPA is $36,033. A budget amendment of $933 requires approval by the Commission. Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission approve the purchase of a Toro Groundsmaster 7200 mower with Polar Trac™ and a V-plow attachment from Spartan Distributors for $36,033, and a budget amendment of $933.

To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager February 19, 2018 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: Cab and Chassis Purchase

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary

Request: City Commission is requested to approve the purchase of a 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty cab and chassis from Krapohl Ford Lincoln, of Mt. Pleasant, for $26,167.

Reason for Purchase: As part of the Motor Pool capital replacement plan, Unit 340, a 1990 Ford F-350, is scheduled for replacement this year. This unit is used by the Street Department for asphalt, curb, manhole, and catch basin repair work. We will purchase the bed and related items for the new cab and chassis at a later date. The anticipated cost for the bed and related items is less than $10,000. The total amount budgeted for the replacement of the truck is $50,000.

The cab and chassis can be purchased through the MiDeal program for $36,115. MiDeal contracts are bid and awarded by the State. However, Ford Motor Company allotted additional monies to the Ford fleet program for municipalities after the State of Michigan awarded the MiDeal contracts. As a result, Krapohl is able to pass along the additional savings. Their quote of $26,167 is significantly under the MiDeal price.

New orders of the 2018 F-350 cab and chassis models must be placed within the next three weeks, as Ford will cease assembly of the 2018 models in June.

Vendor Name and Address: Krapohl Ford Lincoln 1415 E. Pickard St. Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858

Reason for Selection: Method of Purchase: Single Source Supplier Contract - Direct Bill

Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission approve the purchase of a 2018 Ford F-350 cab and chassis from $26,167. Funds are available in the 2018 Motor Pool Capital Outlay Budget.

COMMISSION LETTER #030-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 21, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE XV, CHAPTER 150,

SECTION 150.02 OF THE MOUNT PLEASANT CITY CODE REGARDING PRIVATE SWIMMING POOLS AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR MARCH 12, 2018 ON THE SAME

Last fall the regulations related to swimming pools were moved out of the zoning ordinance and into the regulatory ordinance. At that time we indicated that additional review of the regulations was warranted based on current state and federal requirements. Based on the review of those requirements we are recommending the attached changes to the pool ordinance. This would change the expectation from not allowing pools to be emptied into the sanitary sewer system to a situation where that is the preferred method based on current regulations. If that method is not feasible, two alternatives are offered to property owners. As the memo from DPW Director John Zang indicates, we also reviewed the fencing requirements for pools and are recommending no changes to the current requirements related to pool fencing in the zoning ordinance. We are recommending that a public hearing on these proposed changes be set for March 12, 2018. Recommended motion: Move to set a public hearing for changes to Section 150.02 of the Code of Ordinance for March 12, 2018. NJR/ap

Example of ASTM F1346 Cover

To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager February 9, 2018 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: Recommended Changes to Swimming Pool Ordinance Section 150.02 We have completed our review of the Swimming Pool Ordinance related to drainage requirements and given consideration to questions raised regarding the changes in the fencing standard.

The requirements for draining a pool are included in the attached proposed amended ordinance. The language changes are necessary because the current ordinance language conflicts with state and federal requirements regarding the discharge of pool water into storm sewers.

Staff suggests the City maintain the current policy regarding the fencing requirements as outlined in the zoning standards. The building code recently provided for other methods for securing a pool. However, under an exception for a powered safety cover that compiles with ASTM F1346, the functionality of these covers is heavily dependent on property owners securing the pool when not in use. This is also true for above ground pools where the building code may allow the side wall of the pool to serve as the barrier, provided the ladder is removed or otherwise secure to prevent access to the pool itself.

Staff believes the added measure of the fence requirement will help prevent a child from entering onto a property where there could be an unattended pool and, therefore, staff recommends the fencing requirement of the ordinance remain unchanged.

The City attorney has reviewed the ordinance and the recommended language changes are noted in red in the attached document. Recommendation Staff recommends the Commission amend Ordinance 1029, Section 150.02 regarding private swimming pools as submitted.

To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager February 13, 2018 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: Approve MDOT Contract No. 2018-0227 for Replacement of AWOS Ceilometer and Budget Amendment

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary

Request: The City Commission is requested to approve a resolution and contract no. 2018-0227 with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for the replacement of the ceilometer on the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) at the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport. Reason for Purchase: Accurate and timely information about weather conditions is vital to the safety of pilots and passengers alike, and the AWOS located at the Mt. Pleasant airport is used to provide this information to pilots who fly within range of the airport. One component of the AWOS instrumentation is the ceilometer. This instrument is used to measure the height and thickness of cloud cover. Recently, MDOT informed us the ceilometer needs to be replaced as it has reached the end of its useful life and is no longer being supported by the manufacturer. The total cost of the replacement is $29,000, with MDOT paying 90% of the cost. The City’s share is $2,900. Since the replacement is not part of the planned capital improvement projects for 2018, the Commission will need to approve a budget amendment for this expense. The Airport Advisory Board recommends approval of the resolution and MDOT contract. Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission approve the resolution and MDOT contract 2018-0227 for the replacement of the AWOS ceilometer at the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport and a budget amendment for $2,900.

COMMISSION LETTER #032-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 21, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTIONS #1 AND #2 TO COMMENCE THE

PROCEEDINGS FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENT, TENTATIVELY DETERMINE THE NECESSITY, AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR MARCH 12, 2018 REGARDING THE NECESSITY OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT #1-18

Discussion on the status of residential alleys occurred during both the 2016 and 2017 budget work sessions. As a result of those discussions in 2016, a letter was sent to property owners who abut alleys that might benefit from reconstruction. The letter outlined the process for petitioning to have the City Commission consider a special assessment to pay for the cost. A copy of the letter mailed to property owners on alleys needing reconstruction is attached for reference. During the fall of 2017 discussions were held as part of the budget process regarding increasing the City contribution toward the cost of residential alley reconstructions. The approved budget includes an increased contribution to 30% of the cost (from the standard 10% contribution) for the three alleys deemed to have the lowest condition rating. Staff is sending letters to those abutting property owners informing them of the increased City contribution to determine if any are interested in petitioning for an alley reconstruction. The map showing the rating of the alleys is attached for reference. The three alleys with a rating of 1 (identified in red) were the alleys identified for the higher City contribution amounts. Attached to this memo is a petition that was received by DPW on January 18, 2018 for the reconstruction of the alley between Fancher and Kinney from Locust to Wisconsin. The City Charter and Code of Ordinances outlines the process for a petition for a special assessment. If more than 50% of the impacted property owners petition for an improvement, the ordinance outlines the procedure to move the special assessment forward. The first steps of the process are to submit the petition to the City Commission, along with estimates for the project. Resolution #1 asks for a report which is satisfied by the petition attached, the map attached and the draft assessment roll which includes the estimated cost. Resolution #2 then accepts the estimate and sets a public hearing on the need for the improvement.

Page 95: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Monday, February 26, … · 6. Minutes of the Airport Advisory Board (January). 7. Minutes of the Tax Increment Finance Authority/Principal

For the petition received, all of the appropriate documents are attached for consideration of Resolutions #1 and #2. The resolution and the draft special assessment roll are based on an assumption of a 10% City contribution toward the project cost since this alley was not one of the three identified during the budget process. This petitioned alley has a rating of 2 on the map that was used during the budget discussions. Resolution #1 and #2 are presented which would set a public hearing on the necessity for the project for March 12, 2018. Recommended motion: Move to approve Resolutions #1 and #2 for Special Assessment District #1-18 as presented. NJR/ap

Subject: Alley Reconstruction July 1, 2016 Dear Property Owner: The alley adjacent to your property is in need of reconstruction. In May, a letter was sent to you that described the potential options to fix deteriorated paved alleys, including:

1. Reconstruction (financed via special assessment) 2. Returning the alley to gravel (no cost to property owners)

Based on questions received, we are sending this follow-up letter to clarify the associated costs and next steps, should there be an interest in your neighborhood to reconstruct the adjacent alley. By law, the City cannot use street funds to repair or reconstruct alleys. When the alley was first paved, it was paid for by a special assessment to the adjacent property owners with the expectation that any future reconstructions would also be financed via special assessment. Therefore, a new assessment is required should your neighborhood decide collectively to reconstruct the adjacent alley. To offset the expense, the City Commission has tentatively planned to contribute 10% of the cost of the reconstruction from the City’s general fund. Approximate Cost of Alley Reconstruction: The cost of reconstruction will be approximately $75.00 per lineal foot of property that abuts the alley. As an example; if you own a 60-foot-wide lot, your estimated cost for the prorated share of the 90% covered by property owners would be $4,050. Reconstruction Approval Process: If you would like the City Commission to consider reconstructing the alley in your neighborhood, the following steps outline the process:

1. The property owners of more than 50% of the property abutting the alley must petition to the City Commission for the reconstruction. You, or someone in your neighborhood, must obtain the signatures of the property owners who together own more than 50% of the property that abuts the alley.

2. If a petition is received from your neighborhood, City staff will complete an assessment of actual cost for the reconstruction of your specific alley.

3. The City will schedule a public hearing at which residents can offer input on the requested alley reconstruction. (Those who signed the petition can still withdraw their support at or before the public hearing.)

4. Following the public hearing, the City Commission will vote on the request. (If the owners of more than 50% of the property provide a written objection to the reconstruction, a two-thirds vote by the Commission for the improvement is required to move forward.)

- over-

Page 97: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Monday, February 26, … · 6. Minutes of the Airport Advisory Board (January). 7. Minutes of the Tax Increment Finance Authority/Principal

5. If approved by the City Commission, all property owners abutting the alley would be

assessed their share. 6. The assessment for the cost of the reconstruction may be spread over a number of

years. For planning purposes, the City Commission has tentatively set guidelines for a repayment term of eight to 10 years. If the petition is approved, the City Commission will schedule a second public hearing to set the actual repayment schedule.

If the majority of the adjacent property owners choose not to petition for the reconstruction, the City will return the alley to gravel.

A sample petition is included with this letter. The deadline to submit a petition is Friday, July 22, 2016. Please send petitions to Jen Flachs, Division of Public Works, 1303 N. Franklin Street, Mt. Pleasant. If you have additional questions, please contact Jen at (989) 779-5406, or send an email to [email protected]. Thank you for your input! Sincerely, CITY OF MT. PLEASANT – PUBLIC WORKS

COMMISSION LETTER #033-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 21, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE CENTRAL BUSINESS

DISTRICT (CBD) TAX INCREMENT FINANCE AUTHORITY (TIFA) PLAN TO ADD FIRE SAFETY GRANTS AS AN ELIGIBLE PROJECT

At the November 13, 2017 City Commission meeting action was taken to postpone consideration of the amendment to the Central Business District (CBD) Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) Development Plan. The recommendation from the TIFA Board was to amend the plan to allow for the use of captured TIFA funds for funding toward a fire protection grant program for eligible properties in the downtown. The City Commission requested the TIFA Board consider whether a no interest loan due upon sale could be considered for this program. The attached memo from Downtown Development Director Michelle Sponseller provides the history of the discussions and research by the TIFA Board. At their February meeting, the TIFA Board took action to recommend the fire grant safety program as originally proposed based on the rationale provided in her memo. Although the amendment includes an estimate of $600,000 over the life of the plan, the current 5-year capital plans only estimate an allocation of up to $150,000 in the next three years. Since the public hearing has already been held on this proposed plan amendment, the City Commission can take action on the recommendation from the TIFA Board. Recommended motion: Move to approve the resolution to add the fire protection as an eligible expense for the CBD TIFA Plan as presented. NJR/ap

MEMORANDUM

TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Michelle Sponseller, Downtown Development Director DATE: February 19, 2018 SUBJECT: Fire Safety Grant Update – TIFA Plan Amendment CC: Mary Ann Kornexl, Finance Director Bill Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director BACKGROUND Attached is the recommendation that was provided to the City Commission from the TIFA Board in fall, 2017 for an amendment to the CBD TIFA Development Plan. After holding the required public hearing, the City Commission voted to refer the amendment back to the TIFA Board to ask them to consider changing the program to a zero interest loan program due upon sale. At the November TIFA meeting the following questions were raised and staff was asked to pose the questions to legal and provide answers.

• What, if any is the income tax liability to the building owner? • What are the legal and tax ramifications of selling the building to a family member? • What are the ramifications if the building is “transferred” rather than sold (example – divorce,

death, etc.)? • What if there is a fire and the building is destroyed, what obligation would the owner and

insurance company have in repayment to the city? • What if the building is owned by a corporation and is transferred or sold to a subsidiary?

The city legal team indicated the details of the program can be tailored as the TIFA board sees fit and as the board hasn’t decided what elements to incorporate.

o Ex: if TIFA wanted the loan due only upon sale of the building to someone (person or corporation) outside of a sale between family members we can write it into the program. Another example would be to write into the program that if a fire destroys the building the loan would become due.

Legal can’t provide advice on the tax ramifications, property owners would need to make inquiries with their tax preparers. Based on this TIFA members requested staff present streamlined options for the fire safety grant at their February meeting so they would be able to review the options and provide feedback to city commission on the suggested change to the fire safety grant program.

Although TIFA members were unable to come to a consensus at their January meeting, some members indicated they would be interested in reviewing the possibility of changing the grant to a payback based on a specific number of years. Additionally, staff was requested to look into the possibility of Brownfields and Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act (OPRA) for possible funding sources. At the February 15, 2018 meeting the following information was presented to the TIFA board:

• Brownfield o Fire safety equipment is not an eligible expense, eliminating it from a potential source of

funding. • Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act (OPRA)

o OPRA are used for large scale rehabilitation projects rather than more modest conversions of vacant/office spaces to apartments. Only one potential applicant would fit the criteria.

Based on the numerous discussions and the information provided previously staff offered TIFA the following three options to choose from:

1. Keep the Fire Safety Grant Program as a grant with no changes to the program and ask city commission to consider after TIFA has discussed the suggestion of changing the program to payback upon sale of building.

2. Change Fire Safety Grant Program from grant to payback over a fixed period of time at zero-

interest. Staff believed this option, although not matching the City Commission suggested change of “due upon sale of property”, fits closely by providing payback to TIFA and also avoids many of the legal and tax preparer issues that were detailed above. Assuming the full $25,000 allocation, TIFA could have selected a payback timeframe from the following two options:

a. 5 year payback = $416.66 per month b. 10-year payback = $208.33 per month

3. Choose to eliminate the Fire Safety Grant Program.

At the February 15, 2018 meeting TIFA passed the motion for option #1, to keep the fire safety grant program as a grant with no changes to the program and ask city commission to approve the Central Business District TIFA plan amendment as presented previously. Requested Action: Consider the adoption of the attached resolution to amend the Central Business District TIFA plan on February 26, 2018.

Bill Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director Re: Amendment the Central Business District TIFA Plan The CBD-TIFA was created in 1985 under the provisions of Act 450 of 1980. If the CBD-TIFA wishes to conduct activities permitted under Act 450 it must develop a “development plan.” Act 450 also specifies what the development plan must contain and the process that the Board and governing body (City Commission) must follow to adopt those plans. The Act also specifies how the plans are to be amended. Since the plans and amendments to those plans must be made by the governing body, the Act also requires that body to hold public hearings prior to adoption or modification of the plan. In an effort to promote fire protection within our irreplaceable, historic downtown, breathe new life into vacant spaces and provide unique housing opportunities back to these historic structures, the City has developed the Downtown Fire Protection Grant Program (Program) to assist with the cost to install necessary fire protection systems while maintaining and/or restoring the historic character of the building facades. The program is intended to provide funding to property owners in order to assist them with installing fire protection systems including suppression systems, sprinklers and fire alarms in existing commercial and residential buildings in the downtown historic district. Reimbursement grants are provided to property owners in recognition of the threat that fire poses to the residents of downtown, public at-large, loss of extensive taxable value, desire for growth in the number of residential housing units, and the unique historic buildings that help define our community’s character. Each building needs a new water lead from the water main in addition to the installation of the system, sprinklers and fire alarms. This is a reimbursement grant program – applicants must pay their contractors and suppliers and receive final approval for the installation before reimbursement by the city. Each grant is limited to $25,000 per property and the expectation is that we anticipate the leads will be shared with adjacent property owners whenever possible. To date there have been seven property owners who have expressed interest in this program however, there are more than 30 potential buildings that would be eligible for this program and 61 potential number new residents downtown. As the fire safety program is not currently listed as an eligible expense in the TIFA development plan it must be amended to include it so the program can begin in 2018. The plan amendment is listed on the following page. The TIFA plan amendment was considered at the September 21 meeting and is recommended for approval. This project was part of the 2018-2022 approved CIP and is still one of the priorities of the TIFA board in their latest budget prioritization, although at a lessor amount.

Page 108: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Monday, February 26, … · 6. Minutes of the Airport Advisory Board (January). 7. Minutes of the Tax Increment Finance Authority/Principal

Please note the cost indicated on the proposed plan. Although TIFA does not have $600,000 available for the program, TIFA plans require an estimate for the expense and an end date. Staff calculated program at its max level each year ($75,000) over the remaining years in the plan (8) providing the cost of $600,000. Property owners within the district were notified of this public hearing via mailing on October 10, 2017 and local taxing jurisdictions were notified of this public hearing via certified mail on October 12, 2017. Additionally, there have been two public notices placed in the Morning Sun for notification of the public. Requested Action: Consider the adoption of the attached resolution to amend the Central Business District TIFA plan on November 13.

MEMORANDUM TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager CC: Mary Ann Kornexl, Finance and Administrative Division Director Bill Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director FROM: Michelle Sponseller, Downtown Development Director DATE: February 19, 2018 SUBJECT: Downtown Amended Budget Requests - 2018 The Downtown Development Director is requesting the approval to amend the 2018 downtown budget for the following:

• Water Tank and Trailer The PSD board voted in November 2017 to request the carryover of $7,800 for the purchase of one 500-gallon water tank and trailer. For greater efficiency, it was discovered that watering of the 281 hanging baskets can be completed at a faster rate in the early and gators can be used to haul smaller tanks and therefore cover a larger area in a short amount of time. The PSD Board is therefore recommending the purchase of two 300 gallon tanks and trailers rather than one 500- gallon tank.

At their February 15, 2018 meeting the PSD voted to recommend to the City Commission a budget amendment of $7,800 from the assigned fund balance to purchase the two water tanks and trailers. This account has a balance of $9,810 for 2018. The additional $803.54 needed for the purchase will come from the 2018 groundskeeping contractor services account.

• Back to the Bricks Event Funding (2018 only) $3,000

Requested a carryover of $3,000 at the end of 2017 from four events that came in under budget to use as funding for the Back to the Bricks Car Show Promo Tour coming to downtown on Friday, June 8. This event was not planned as part of the 2018 budget process as the Back to the Bricks organization approached us after the budget had been set.

Both of the carryover requests were approved by the City Commission in the final 2017 amended budget. Staff is requesting the City Commission approve the expenditures in 2018 as part of the PSD budget. Requested Action: Review and adopt the two budget amendments as presented.
