That should be in for this month because next month starts what we talked about. Is that correct? 38 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,520 And then we also have some past due amounts on the 1475 residential. 39 00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:22,090 But you can see on the back of the page current cash balance, 343,174.20. 40 00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:26,530 Last month we had talked about putting that in some sort of interest bearing. 41 00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:31,410 There will be a couple things to talk about in executive session that we put a pin in at 42 00:03:31,410 --> 00:03:35,170 and so we'll deal with that later in the meeting. 43 00:03:35,170 --> 00:03:38,730 Are there any questions for Steve? 44 00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:40,710 Give me a moment to take a look at it. 45 00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:33,490 Any questions? 46 00:04:35,310 --> 00:04:35,650 All right. 47 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:42,430 In terms of the President's report, Pride 1, we thought that we would be seeing a possible 48 00:04:42,430 --> 00:04:47,610 amendment this month, but it's being kicked down the road, and so we'll be revisiting that. 49 00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:52,730 Next month, there are some items relating to that that will handle an executive session. 50 00:04:54,090 --> 00:04:56,350 So we'll move to the executive director's report. 51 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,220 First, I'm requesting permission to apply for grant funding from the Howard Department 52 00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:06,800 of Development, Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program. 53 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,100 The funding just opened, and I reached out to the Summit County Land Bank. 54 00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:12,840 They're the lead agency on this funding. 55 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:14,880 They were really excited about the project. 56 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,540 Highly encouraged us to put in an application. 57 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:22,000 I actually already started filling it out, and she, I was lucky enough to sit next to 58 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,560 her at the state of the county and they were saying it was, it was, it was looking great. 59 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,800 I did ask her, you know, if we could get the demolition funded for the south side, 60 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,440 whether we should keep going and if they are eligible because we haven't made any steps. 61 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,860 She said absolutely, they feel like they would cover five, all five buildings at this point. 62 00:05:45,860 --> 00:06:02,720 I think if we wanted to, we would have to give termination letter to our final residential property, 1475, South Cleveland, Maslan Road, and we could also include Sundance in that with just a letter from them that we have permission and that there's intent to purchase. 63 00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:10,480 We'll talk about that further down if that is a final deal and we decide we would like to include that. 64 00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:16,500 You're also able to do some work to get the parcel site ready. 65 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,180 They recommended that we possibly build a sidewalk. 66 00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:27,860 I don't know if that's, you know, we are going to be coming through possibly with some roundabout work and the copy trail. 67 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,920 But I talked to Greg and we could possibly fill some gaps there. 68 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:38,020 So a rough estimate on that was an additional $30,000 request for sidewalk and landscaping. 69 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,880 And lastly, then we would be able to include, you can do 10% of the requests can be for acquisition. 70 00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:49,000 So we could make back $8,600 for Sundance on the acquisition of that. 71 00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:55,330 And I mean, this is all I could think to request at this point. 72 00:06:55,470 --> 00:07:00,870 So if you can think of anything else that we could do to possibly enhance the deal for the developer, 73 00:07:00,870 --> 00:07:06,130 I could check it and see if that's something we would want to include, but he did read me the list 74 00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:11,250 and the only thing that I that sounded eligible was sidewalks at this point. Infrastructure that 75 00:07:11,250 --> 00:07:13,570 wasn't anything that was on the table. 76 00:07:16,050 --> 00:07:20,010 We had talked about like putting some light landscaping, 77 00:07:20,050 --> 00:07:25,150 so I didn't know if we did have to do some placeholder landscaping to make it more appealing. 78 00:07:25,150 --> 00:07:29,070 I actually liked it more for wiggle room in case there's a spestus. 79 00:07:29,870 --> 00:07:34,690 So if we do have a high spestus cost, I feel like it'd be very likely I could take the 80 00:07:34,690 --> 00:07:40,090 money from the site revitalization and move it to a spestus mid-grant and make that request. 81 00:07:41,590 --> 00:07:45,470 It was, it's like per 30,000 was the amount for the sidewalk, yeah. 82 00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:49,090 But it also give us wiggle room during demolition if we find a spestus. 83 00:07:49,150 --> 00:07:53,890 It's not on the quote right now, so I think it would be a hard request for them to fund that. 84 00:07:59,260 --> 00:08:02,220 there was not a cap but there is a 25 percent match. 85 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:16,920 I 86 00:08:21,050 --> 00:08:26,130 mean that'll take our 87 00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:30,170 match up so I didn't know where where we want to be where I'm at right now 88 00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:36,490 we're about 20,000 I know we had already approved 55,000 for demolition so I 89 00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:41,330 I don't know where you want me to stay, how much savings we want to get using this grant. 90 00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:48,290 Yeah. 91 00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:50,110 We're talking very late. 92 00:08:50,210 --> 00:08:53,710 And that was the Lewis, that was the late deal. 93 00:08:54,930 --> 00:08:56,350 And then that would be all. 94 00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:01,250 Yeah. 95 00:09:01,390 --> 00:09:02,010 It would. 96 00:09:02,830 --> 00:09:04,250 That would have been my suggestion. 97 00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:19,460 The motion did increase it. 98 00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:23,180 Can you move the demolition number up as well? 99 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,480 We could. 100 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,460 I know it's 64, basically, on a few minutes from last month. 101 00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:40,800 That was not including the residential, because we had signed the quote for, I was going to turn in the quote, we're going to add it like a supplemental one for the other one. 102 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,660 So right now I'm requesting what I can turn in documentation for. 103 00:09:46,660 --> 00:09:49,540 We have 15 to go to the building. 104 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,080 Okay. 105 00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:55,740 Okay. 106 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,980 And have butchering son possibly write me up something for asbestos, a quote. 107 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,160 You have to submit an inquiry. 108 00:10:07,130 --> 00:10:11,910 Yeah, so I'm going to submit our letters with it as part of the package. 109 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,140 I was excited Sundance offered to include a letter of support if we include them. 110 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:25,000 And I have a letter of support from the schools if we're able to include Sundance in the package. 111 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,080 And I feel like having some support on this is really strengthens the package, so I don't know what we'll decide 112 00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:46,880 Just because at the time it felt like they were causing us the least amount of grief and so and at the time 113 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,980 We had no interest in the property, so we were thinking okay, let's just you know for these 114 00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:55,380 is let's get that part of the corner ready 115 00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:58,320 and we'll deal with it down the road. 116 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:04,760 But even though they applied for the rent relief grant 117 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,200 and we did receive monies from United Way, 118 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,180 right off the get-go after that, they're behind. 119 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,540 So that is not, because the thought was 120 00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:17,600 and they had indicated that we just need to get caught up. 121 00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:19,800 Once we get caught up, we're gonna be fine. 122 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,580 Well, they're not fine, you know. 123 00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:23,700 So we still have an issue. 124 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:30,120 So then it kind of makes you think that maybe we go ahead and terminate. 125 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,400 So that was before we knew about this laying bank? 126 00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:35,900 Yes, yes. 127 00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:39,340 I have a 30 days notice clause. 128 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,260 Well, the release is up by month. 129 00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:46,900 Well, because I think it was up in October, right?

139 00:12:45,790 --> 00:12:48,270 He said this was a fast grant typically. 140 00:12:48,630 --> 00:12:53,290 So he felt like we would probably have an answer by January. 141 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,920 Can we table this into after executive session? 142 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,200 Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I'm because I think there are some pieces there that 143 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,640 I'm trying to talk about a personal rent issue. 144 00:13:15,790 --> 00:13:16,230 Okay. 145 00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:25,610 Sanctity for them. Okay. I think I'm talking about rent for business. Sure. Okay. All right. So let's move on to your. 146 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:31,950 Okay. And then I just wanted to put out just in this can be part of the discussion too or just part of the thought process. 147 00:13:32,430 --> 00:13:38,230 There are development grants on my radar right now. So GR has a capital grant that just opened for $50,000. 148 00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:45,290 dollars, they're looking for projects that have a story like ours, like something that's 149 00:13:45,290 --> 00:13:49,130 in your downtown that is blighted, that needs to revitalize a building. 150 00:13:49,570 --> 00:13:54,170 I think we're a great candidate for it, so I feel like that's something we can, if we 151 00:13:54,170 --> 00:14:01,890 have a developer on the table, we could definitely apply for it, I think we should apply for. 152 00:14:01,890 --> 00:14:08,570 Also, the jobs, Ohio vibrant communities, it's a rolling grant, it's always open, there's 153 00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:10,810 a 50% match, it's up to a million dollars. 154 00:14:11,930 --> 00:14:19,230 This is for smaller cities, towns and villages, it aligns with our story, it's for economic 155 00:14:19,230 --> 00:14:25,850 development projects in a downtown vicinity, so I feel like this is another grant if we have 156 00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:28,510 a developer on the table that we should go for. 157 00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:35,430 So potentially wherever you know it has a 50% match, so I don't know how what will be on the table, but 158 00:14:36,030 --> 00:14:40,990 Definitely something that I think should be offered to the developer and apply for 159 00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:46,430 Okay, so does it do you want to hold on the resolution crafted until afterwards? 160 00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:50,410 We're table and that's it.
