The City Center is for people, not cars. Please place the Pedestrian FRONT and CENTER of all designs going forward. The automobile has ravaged our city, Like a cancer, empty sterile bomb shelter-like parking garages have gobbled up tens of blocks of our city. They are ugly and mildewed. They are dark and lifeless. Please demand a city that is designed for pedestrians. Cars can be left parked outside the immediate area. Oslo, Sweden has banned cars, Amsterdam has excellent and wide separated cycling paths and road share policies, reducing speeds for cars to very safe levels. Our current cycling lanes are inadequate narrow ribbons that will not be used because they are unsafe. Please consider wider & separated cycling paths throughout our city. Please consider linking paths to former garbage alleys in Springfield and Riverside as safe, wide and interesting commuting options. 130 00:13:30.540 --> 00:13:40.200 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): And as I said a second ago, I will share a couple of the images here and then I will also send this email and the images to all the board members as well. 131 00:13:42.390 --> 00:13:48.360 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you for reading that public comment into the record.

The budget itself was considered and recommended by the finance and Budget Committee in their meeting last week, it remains unchanged from that presentation, you have a copy of the actual budget before you and since it was distributed to the board and discussed at some length in the finance and Budget Committee meeting, I am happy to take any questions and answer those. But I was not planning to go through line item by line item of the budget, unless you would like to restrict here. 140 00:15:31.710 --> 00:15:38.190 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Would any board member like a line item by line item review of the budget? 141 00:15:47.850 --> 00:15:48.300 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Hearing non, We will entertain a motion.

I mean, it's a standing committee motion, or resolutions, I guess don't require a second but that I support Ms. Worsham's motion. 159 00:17:18.570 --> 00:17:19.110 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you. 160 00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:26.520 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Discussions. Mr Froats would you like to go first since you cheer this subcommittee with discussion. 161 00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:29.130 Todd Froats (DIA Board): Okay. 162 00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:34.590 Todd Froats (DIA Board): So we met...So I just want to thank the DIA staff for putting this together. I understand that there are some new accounting systems in the city. And I know they spend a lot of time on this. But I just want to point out that a lot of the budget items for this year under the plan unauthorized expenditures are in the unallocated plan authorized expenditure account. And I think the idea there is that Miss Boyer would like to keep it there, based on the current status of where things are at so that we have some flexibility going forward as to where we want to allocate those expenses. 166 00:18:15.750 --> 00:18:25.170 Todd Froats (DIA Board): I just want to point that out. Other than that, I have no other comments. Oh, sorry, one more, we did discuss the parking garage. The, the $5 million. As you can see on the north bank that represents over half of the budget and you know it's a contract that was entered into a very long time ago. I don't want to judge the decision of that because we weren't around at that time. 168 00:18:40.260 --> 00:18:43.410 Todd Froats (DIA Board): Currently, now it's it's obviously eating up a lot of our 169 00:18:44.910 --> 00:18:59.790 Todd Froats (DIA Board): Revenue and I know that the DIA staff is doing everything that they can to at least monitor the performance of that contract and Mr Crescimbeni have spent a lot of time going through looking at 170 00:19:01.230 --> 00:19:10.200 Todd Froats (DIA Board): The compliance of that contract. And I understand that they're going to be continuing to do so we'll probably talk about it further at the next finance meeting. 171 00:19:10.770 --> 00:19:24.270 Todd Froats (DIA Board): But I did want to point that out. And I also encourage Miss Boyer to continue negotiations to determine whether or not we can do something with this contract potentially buying it out so. Thank you. 173 00:19:28.290 --> 00:19:28.830 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you. 174 00:19:32.370 --> 00:19:35.040 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr Barakat, Any comments to the motion? 176 00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:47.910 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): I'm on the budget and finance committee and have worry thoroughly reviewed and did approve this budget.

So these are estimates at the time based on last year's numbers, but we recognize this will change and hence the reason in the resolution themselves, where we say in the second paragraph of the resolution that we are authorized to submit this budget. 229 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:43.980 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): But make necessary changes as required by the budget office to reflect supervisory allocation and ad valorem revenue changes as determined by the city and that will result in a change in the amount in the unallocated point authorized expenditures, if there is one. 230 00:24:46.260 --> 00:24:47.130 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Okay, thank you. 231 00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:54.180 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): What is the board's pleasure with regard to resolution 2020-05-02 232 00:24:55.530 --> 00:24:56.640 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): We'll entertain a motion. 233 00:25:01.560 --> 00:25:02.430 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr Froats 234 00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:04.170 Todd Froats (DIA Board): Motion to approve. 235 00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:06.330 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Moved by Mr. Froats 236 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:08.670 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Second, 237 00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:11.880 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Second by please 238 00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:14.250 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Oliver Barakat 239 00:25:14.550 --> 00:25:15.540 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Mr.Barakat 240 00:25:16.590 --> 00:25:24.930 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Properly moved in second discussion on resolution 2020-05-02 let's begin with Mr. Adams. 241 00:25:27.930 --> 00:25:29.070 Bill Adams (DIA Board): I have no comments.

Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr. Barakat. 251 00:25:57.870 --> 00:25:58.500 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Oliver Barakat , No comments. 252 00:25:59.310 --> 00:26:00.450 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): And Mr Froats 253 00:26:01.590 --> 00:26:10.710 Todd Froats (DIA Board): A couple of comments just to point out to everybody. The amount for the district. I believe in a sport. That's the, that's a required amount. Correct. The minimum required amount? 254 00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:24.090 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): I would say it is not a mandatory contractual required amount, but it is the amount that we committed to city council, we would provide at a minimum, each year when we asked for their approval of the legislation and the redevelopment agreement for the district. Ultimately, it is a $23 million obligation for infrastructure improvements we have accumulated about $8 million to date. This would bring that total to 10 And the contractual arrangement is that when the work is completed the construction work is completed, we have to reimburse for those construction costs at that time, which will require the DIA to borrow funds from the city. 258 00:26:57.300 --> 00:27:13.650 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): For any deficiency. So if we have 10 on hand and the bill is 23 we would be borrowing 13 from the city, our commitment to city council was to set aside enough money that we reduce that borrowing to the maximum extent possible. 259 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.980 Todd Froats (DIA Board): Thank you. I just wanted everybody to to understand that. All right, thank you. No further comments. 260 00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:36.180 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you.

Mr Boylan I neglected to ask you for any comments. I apologize. 276 00:28:17.730 --> 00:28:19.680 Michael Boylan: No worries. Sir, I'm fine, thank you. 277 00:28:19.950 --> 00:28:20.520 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you. 278 00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:36.510 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): That closes out the business of the community redevelopment agency. Let's move on to the downtown Investment Authority meeting resolution 2020-05-03. Ms. Boyer. 279 00:28:37.620 --> 00:28:47.730 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Resolution 2020-05-03 is the administrative budget of the downtown Investment Authority. So this is our general fund budget. This is our budget as an agency Economic Development Agency and it is also our role as the supervisory agency for the Division of Public parking You will see that this budget is essentially flat from year to year. 282 00:29:03.030 --> 00:29:13.470 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): And in fact, most of the amounts in the individual categories are very close to what they were for the prior year we've adjusted some things up and down as needed for example as we now have more staff actually working. We need additional office supplies. So there are some very minor adjustments of note is the fact that we have two professional service items that we are including this year. That include $250,000 for additional funds for both real estate consulting services, you'll recall, we use CBRE for a real estate consultant, when we put the Ford on Bay or old courthouse and city hall Annex sites out to bid. We want to have funds available for that use as well as for design use on the landing site and the item that's referred to as MPS independent audit is not really a single audit but auditing services to enlist the assistance of an accountant with AUDITING BACKGROUND to help us in review of the traunch requests as they come in and, in particular, to test or sample a few items in each traunch request to ensure compliance. 289 00:30:21.750 --> 00:30:29.220 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): So those are the the noteworthy professional service items and otherwise, I think the budgets fairly self explanatory again. I would draw your attention at the very bottom to the supervision allocations, which are all purely estimates, those will be provided to us by the budget office. 291 00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:43.980 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Once they have calculated those figures for this year, you should expect 292 00:30:44.340 --> 00:30:54.210 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): That we will likely see increases. I'm expecting that we will see increases in those because, among other things, that's an allocation of building maintenance costs and I would expect there to be increased sanitation and and cleaning fees that are going to pass through to us. In addition, you see things there that have to do with our use of the services of the Office of General Counsel and as we those tend to reflect last year's hours and we have a lot of hours over the last year. Mr. Sawyer can attest to that as we had a lot of transactions coming through so likely that we will see some increases in the supervision allocations. 296 00:31:24.600 --> 00:31:36.480 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Miss Boyer. What is the body's pleasure this regard to resolution 2028-05-03 our administrative budget. Mr. Moody has his hand raised. 297 00:31:37.110 --> 00:31:39.540 Ron Moody (DIA Board): I make a motion that we approve this budget. 298 00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:41.670 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Approved by Mr moody. 299 00:31:42.690 --> 00:31:44.490 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Ms. Worsham has her hand raised. Carol Worsham (DIA Board): I second. 300 00:31:46.560 --> 00:31:48.150 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Seconded by Ms. Worsham. 301 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:51.420 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Any discussion. Let's begin with Mr. Adams. 303 00:31:56.760 --> 00:31:57.900 Bill Adams (DIA Board): No discussion. Thank you. 304 00:31:58.560 --> 00:31:59.580 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr Citrano. 305 00:32:03.510 --> 00:32:04.590 Jimmy Citrano (DIA Board): Jim Citrano. no discussion. 306 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:06.090 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Ms. Worsham 307 00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:08.340 Carol Worsham (DIA Board): Carol Worsham, no questions. 308 00:32:10.260 --> 00:32:11.040 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr ward. 309 00:32:14.010 --> 00:32:14.550 David Ward (DIA Board): Nothing for me, please. 311 00:32:15.060 --> 00:32:15.420 David Ward (DIA Board): Thank you. 312 00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:17.220 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr. Moody 313 00:32:18.690 --> 00:32:28.470 Ron Moody (DIA Board): Only one question. I'm a little surprised that the salaries basically show no increase at all sure it was fully discussed, but I'm just curious why there's no no increases there. 315 00:32:34.410 --> 00:32:46.650 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Thank you, through the chair to board member moody, the salaries are basically held flat at this year's level that comes from a concern that we have regarding the overall city budget and city finances as we go into the next year. I mean, I think most of my staff is happy that we all have jobs and are paid and a lot of people in the economy that are not right now. So it was the only slight variation we have in that is we have one employee who came here slightly before the beginning of this fiscal year and we are adjusting that to reflect the salary increase that they would have normally received on October 1 of this past year. So, otherwise you are correct, that they show no increased for this year. 319 00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:24.900 Ron Moody (DIA Board): Okay. Thank you. 320 00:33:26.310 --> 00:33:28.260 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Mr. Moody, Mr Gillam. 321 00:33:30.540 --> 00:33:31.980 Braxton Gillam (DIA Board): No further comments or questions, thank you. 322 00:33:32.790 --> 00:33:33.750 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr. Barakat. 323 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:44.160 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Only one comment. I think we discussed this at the committee level regarding the Jacksonville landing that we appropriated funds for the design competition and marketing and just to confirm and Miss Boyer, that we do not have to wait until the next fiscal year to start that process. Are we still planning on starting the wheels in motion this summer. 326 00:34:01.260 --> 00:34:02.070 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Absolutely. And we have other funds that will facilitate that. 329 00:34:08.250 --> 00:34:09.690 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Okay great. No other questions, Mr. Chairman. 330 00:34:10.140 --> 00:34:12.900 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Mr. Barakat. Mr. Froats. 331 00:34:13.290 --> 00:34:13.860 Todd Froats (DIA Board): No comment. 332 00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:18.180 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Any further comments from the Board, Mr councilman Boylan. 333 00:34:19.140 --> 00:34:28.320 Michael Boylan: Thank you, Mr. I did want to tee up line 41 as you would call it the Finance Committee and you asked about the LISC contribution for the development awards. I did actually follow up with someone from the LISC. I think they were they were remiss and not making that ask this past year. I'm not recommending we put it in the budget, but just want to advise or forewarm Ms. Boyer that LISC will probably back. 335 00:34:47.010 --> 00:34:49.830 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): We appreciate the ask. Thank you, Mr councilman Boylan. 336 00:34:52.590 --> 00:34:59.280 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Any further comments from the Board. Hearing none, all those in favor of resolution 2020-05-03 please signify by saying aye. When I have called your name, Mr Froats. Todd Froats (DIA Board): I 338 00:35:09.240 --> 00:35:10.050 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr. Barakat 339 00:35:11.250 --> 00:35:12.330 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Oliver Barakat, I 340 00:35:13.140 --> 00:35:13.740 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr. Gillam 341 00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:18.570 Braxton Gillam (DIA Board): Braxton Gillam, I.

Thank you. The next resolution is 2020-05-04 DVI budget. 352 00:35:51.090 --> 00:36:02.130 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Resolution 2020-05-04 is a recommendation to the city council of the DVI downtown vision budget. I'm going to let Jake Gordon present and describe that budget to you, but essentially it is our role as we are the agency that works most closely with them. And I will say we have had a very good working relationship over the last year on marketing initiatives as well as place making and clean and say all three of those. Were working very well together. The budget is essentially it is an increase, but it is a flat rate. So using the same millage rate as us. Previously, but applied to increase property values of city on properties and I'm gonna let Mr. Gordon go through the budget with you. 356 00:36:45.540 --> 00:36:47.760 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Ms. Boyer. Jake Gordon. 357 00:36:49.410 --> 00:36:51.780 Jake Gordon (DVI): Thank you, Chairman Gibbs and Ms, Boyer. Can you hear me? 359 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.730 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Yes. Would you be kind enough to identify yourself, please. 361 00:36:57.540 --> 00:37:10.350 Jake Gordon (DVI): Yes. Thank you, Jake. Gordon downtown vision to one for North Hogan streets, Suite 120 Jacksonville, Florida 32202 I'm the CEO of downtown vision. 362 00:37:11.310 --> 00:37:11.790 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you. 363 00:37:12.930 --> 00:37:26.070 Jake Gordon (DVI): As Miss Boyer noted Per are enhanced municipal services agreement with the city of Jacksonville. The DIA is the agency of record for us. And one of those obligations which we treasure is coming to this board of directors and having our annual budget approved for DVI. So really appreciate the opportunity. I do think Hopefully, all of the DIA board members and staff are aware of downtown vision of what we do. This is my fifth year at the budget. So I'll probably skip a lot of the things we do. But hopefully, you know, and if not, please visit downtownJacksonville.com 366 00:37:51.030 --> 00:37:56.070 Jake Gordon (DVI): We if you, if you look at the budget this year as Miss boyer noted You're looking at the on the screen the schedule ad, which is the city council's form auditor. So as you know, this would then get submitted to the mayor's office for NBRC and then also go to finance committee for city council. And we put as this and all the formats that the city has always asked of us. And so as Ms. Boyer noted it's effectively a flat budget a there is a tiny increase actually you could go to the next. The next sheet. We, we keep these budgets clean and safe than attractive marketing and business and stakeholder support. Those are our main lines of business so not overlapping but DIA at all. Um, I did want to say thank you for the investment in all the projects in downtown because the way downtown vision makes its money as as a PERCENTAGE OF 1.1 million on the private property owners and the city. Thankfully contributes that contribution so your investments on the DIA as an agency has been making property values, right. So we are the beneficiary of the work that you've been doing with the money you've been investing and then our hope is that we do form a great partnership with Miss Boyer and her team and all of you to make downtown even better. 376 00:39:14.970 --> 00:39:24.690 Jake Gordon (DVI): And it is getting better, even in this crisis. So you can see we spend about roughly 51% of our money on clean and safe 30% of our money on marketing. 12% on stakeholder support and then 94% goes to the programs and then management in general is about 6%. And so hopefully this is pretty straightforward. You can see in the notes. I don't have to go through those. If you go to the next page, please. This is where this is a comparison between this fiscal year. And what got approved what we're proposing and also what was adopted last year. So there seems to be pretty informative. You know I mentioned there's a slight increase. There's about a $62,000 increase in the private property owners, which amounts to about 3% so essentially flat, but just a little bit up. that increased was immediately reinvested into ambassadors and staffing and overhead. We had some rising costs. I did want to note, It looks like the city of Jacksonville's contribution is increasing by 12% but in reality that's more of a reallocation. It's a little confusing, but basically historically Downtown Vision is in the Ed Ball building that's a city owned building 383 00:40:29.580 --> 00:40:35.490 Jake Gordon (DVI): Historically we've contributed about a quarter of our rent as actual money we paid to the city and then and then 75% of that fair market value of our rent credit back to the city on your contribution. It sounds confusing because it was. And so with discussions with the city, we've tried to streamline that process. So you'll see in this rent has been zeroed out and basically we are going to deliver to the city, the fair market value of our space, which I think has been calculated right around $45,000 annually. And so we do have in this budget a $45,000 hold on an additional project that will work with the city in the mayor's office and DIA on making sure we're delivering value per that space, but just in terms of the city paying us and I was paying the city back and then us crediting it back. We're trying to streamline all of that. So the city's increase on a formula basis is actually only about 3% it's about $14,743 not the 14,000 you see that's more of a reclassification, as I mentioned. Overall it speaks for itself ambassadors. We've reinvested in those we do have one new position that's been working with us for a year, which is experienced manager. So we've been happy to get more boots on the ground i n downtown. That's really where we're investing Most of our money is in staff. So with that, I'm happy to take any questions on our budget or work in general. 393 00:42:02.340 --> 00:42:11.370 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Mr. Gordon. What is the body's pleasure with regard to resolution 2020-05-04? Mr moody. 394 00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.310 Ron Moody (DIA Board): Move that this resolution be adopted. 395 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.730 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Approve my Ron moody, Mr. Barakat. 396 00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:30.660 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): Oliver Barakat. I will second that. But I also want to mention. Mr. Chairman, that I'm a board member of downtown vision and like in years past. So I'm going to abstain from this vote. 397 00:42:32.130 --> 00:42:39.030 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Mr. Barakat, with a second. Let's begin discussion with Mr Froats. 398 00:42:40.290 --> 00:42:41.190 Todd Froats (DIA Board): I have no comment. 399 00:42:43.020 --> 00:42:44.970 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Mr. Barakat, Any comments? 400 00:42:47.100 --> 00:42:55.680 Oliver Barakat (DIA Board): No the only comment I would make is that I think Jake in the organization have done a really good job of diversifying the revenue stream and trying to get funds from the private sector, which further validates DVI's efforts through the downtown gala and through other sponsorships so the organization and the private sector, certainly I regard and it has a lot of good momentum. I think the most board members a DVI pretty pleased with the overall financial picture, picture of the organization and what it does for downtown. 404 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:26.880 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Mr. Barakat. Mr. Moody comments, questions? 405 00:43:27.600 --> 00:43:29.730 Ron Moody (DIA Board): I am for this budget. I have no comments. Craig Gibbs (DIA Chair): Mr. Ward. 406 00:43:30.540 --> 00:43:33.030 David Ward (DIA Board): No comments for me. Thank you. 407 00:43:33.660 --> 00:43:34.260 Craig Gibbs (DIA Chair): Ms. Worsham. 408 00:43:35.790 --> 00:43:47.490 Carol Worsham (DIA Board): The only question I had for Mr. Gordon would be that, given the current situation of our Covid-19 and the additional cleaning and sanitizing that goes on do you feel that your line item budget for that is sufficient. And are you experiencing above and beyond sanitizing and cleaning needs last year. 410 00:44:01.020 --> 00:44:14.850 Jake Gordon (DVI): Through a chair to board member Worsham. Yeah, thank you for that question our ambassador team is still working. They've worked through this whole crisis. I think kind of piggybacking on what a board member Barakat said we did just receive a grant from the First Coast Relief Fund through the United Way of $15,000 to supplement that. I think that's where we have that ability. And so we have put i think if you see we have porta potties downtown that are for the transient population because when all the businesses closed, people were using the streets as their bathroom. And so, um, we could always use more ambassadors. But I do think this is sufficient. I think I was just looking at 414 00:44:41.490 --> 00:44:48.600 Jake Gordon (DVI): When I got here in 2015 we had about 10 ambassadors and now we have about 18 on the street. So we've almost doubled our team so we feel like we're doing a great job. There's always a ton to do. But I do think this is sufficient. And really, it's more about deployment related to what we're doing. 416 00:44:57.030 --> 00:45:05.940 Jake Gordon (DVI): And we have heavily focused on the cleaning part and kind of pulled back from hospitality with less people in downtown. You don't need to greet as many people. So we're doing more cleaning. Hope that answers your question. 417 00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:08.040 Carol Worsham (DIA Board): Thank you. Thank you. 419 00:45:09.630 --> 00:45:11.580 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Ms. Worsham. Mr. Citrano. 420 00:45:13.950 --> 00:45:15.630 Jimmy Citrano (DIA Board): Jim Citrano, I have no comment. 421 00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:49.170 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): Looks like Mr. Gibbs might be frozen. 422 00:46:08.790 --> 00:46:11.040 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): We will wait for him for a moment. 423 00:46:12.660 --> 00:46:15.570 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Ina can you tell did he log out and is logging back in, or? 424 00:46:15.990 --> 00:46:19.500 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): Yes, he's no longer on the participants list so I'm assuming he's coming back in shortly. 426 00:46:56.430 --> 00:47:12.450 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): We will wait a minute. And if Mr. Gibbs does not return. Mr. Moody, you are vice chair, and I would have you call the role on the vote. Do we have a motion and a second yet on this. I don't know that we have. I think we were just, we do have a motion and a second? Okay. 428 00:47:14.490 --> 00:47:17.730 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): And I would have you if we don't see Mr. Gibbs return we will have Mr. Moody, call the role for the vote. 430 00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:28.260 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Any indication Ina that he is dialing in? 431 00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:29.760 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): Don't see him on yet. 432 00:47:31.080 --> 00:47:32.430 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Okay, Mr. Moody do you run through the board. 436 00:47:39.570 --> 00:47:44.760 Ron Moody (DIA Board): Resolution 2020-05-04.

Looks like he might be here. We'll let him handle his items. 464 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.830 Ron Moody (DIA Board): Okay, let's let's go down then. 465 00:50:20.730 --> 00:50:23.820 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Hol don I think he may be he may have returned. 466 00:50:27.150 --> 00:50:31.020 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): I was asking for comments for Mr. Adams and got knocked off. 467 00:50:32.220 --> 00:50:44.790 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): So, so, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Moody, Our Secretary, Mr gilliam AND I'LL ASK Ms. Worshm would she also joined in that nominations committee. 479 00:52:24.780 --> 00:52:25.830 Carol Worsham (DIA Board): Yes, thank you.

So our nominations committee will meet and discuss officers for the forthcoming year beginning July one that will be Mr. Moody, Mr Gilliam, and Ms. Worsham. 481 00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:44.730 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): And I'm sure, miss Boyer will coordinatre date and time for that meeting. 482 00:52:46.290 --> 00:52:57.960 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Yes, Mr. Chairman, will schedule that meeting. Prior to the June DIA board meeting, so that at the June meeting, the board has a chance to vote on the recommendations from the nominating committee. 483 00:52:59.160 --> 00:53:00.240 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you so much. 484 00:53:01.380 --> 00:53:05.040 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): The next item is the CEO informational briefing. Ms. Boyer. 486 00:53:07.980 --> 00:53:13.710 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Thank you, Mr. Chairman, will be real quick on this, but I did want to give you a status update. You may have seen that in the original published agenda, we had hoped to have the Ford on Bay term sheet ready for this meeting. We were not able to do that I regret. They are very excited about the site very interested in wanting to proceed. However, we were working through a number of terms in the term sheet did not have those sufficiently resolved at the seven day deadline prior to the meeting. And they asked to defer until the June meeting so expect to see that on the agenda for the June meeting. In addition, you should expect to see the Proposal for the independent life building redevelopment in June, we have committed to the developer that we will bring that forward to you at the June meeting.It is a little preliminary in as much as the normal course of dealing is that the full National Park Service approval of the historic renovations are approved. Prior to the time we actually set a budget and recommend the amount of the historic preservation grant. But in order to keep this process moving and apparently National Park Service has been very slow to respond and not really working and some of them are on furlough. It is our hope to move the project forward, we will include in our proposal to you and up to amount provided it's approved the the improvements are qualified improvements as determined by the National Park Service so we figured out a way to be able to move the project forward and let it move forward to city council and through the process. So you should expect that in June. 498 00:54:54.330 --> 00:55:01.920 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): There are, it is my hope that even if our June board meeting is on zoom which it is likely to be, we will be able to resume the full agenda, we had a number of items on our march agenda that have been deferred and those include our food and beverage Incentive Program, which I believe is still warranted and perhaps even more warranted than and originally was, and that we should go ahead and take that up. I anticipate that we will have a Facade grant program utilizing the funds that were authorized in last year's budget in this current operating year's budget that we will be bringing that program to the retail enhancement property disposition committee for a committee meeting prior to the June board meeting, and that you will have that on the agenda. 503 00:55:48.930 --> 00:55:58.140 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): We had a number of other items on the agenda regarding a potential Marina regarding the rejection of the convention center bid. And you can go back and look, I can send it out to you again, if you want to look at all of the things that were on the march agenda but expect the June meeting to be a more complete meeting. Then we have had these have been rather abbreviated and only dealing with those things that are absolutely essential from a timing standpoint, so that's that's the expectation for the June meeting and in that regard, we have both a need for both a strategic implementation committee meeting and an REPD committee meeting between now and the June board meeting. I will be reaching out to you for availability to try to schedule those. the intent in strategic implementation, we have to return to our parking discussion. A number of the things that we had previously vetted in the committee were due to take effect. 510 00:56:51.690 --> 00:57:05.490 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): And we have to evaluate whether, under the current circumstances, we want to delay that we've had any number of requests for parking concessions, both in our garages and in private garages. So we're seeing right at the current time a greatly reduced demand and we have to do some projecting of whether we are going to see a reduced demand for six months or a year or two years and as a result of that, how that would impact the various rate structures we had talked about implementation of shuttle service, etc. So I need. We need to get back into the consideration of that at as some of these lease renewals are coming up. We will be forced to make certain decisions. So those and then we would bring the facade grant program to the retail enhancement and I expect to have a draft of that within the next two weeks at the very latest maybe within the next week that we can begin to circulate for discussion and consideration by the board. So those are, that's a summary of what we have going on there are obviously many administrative matters that are in process as we are looking at reopening City Hall from our staffing perspective. 517 00:58:08.100 --> 00:58:21.300 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): We are hopeful that as of next Monday we will be able to, we may not be working from the office, we may still be working from home, but at least return to a full complement of staff working so that staff who have been on administrative leave will be able to return to work on a work from home basis as of next week. And that will really help us with our productivity and our ability to move things forward because we have a number of folks that have been on full administrative Lee. So that's where we are at the present and I'm open to any questions if the board has any further questions are happy to discuss things individually with you as you wish. 521 00:58:49.980 --> 00:58:55.380 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you, Miss Boyer. Any further questions or comments for our CEO? 522 00:58:59.550 --> 00:59:00.480 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Hearing none. 523 00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:04.770 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): I think Mr. Boylan has his hand up. 524 00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:06.840 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Okay, thank you. 525 00:59:08.370 --> 00:59:17.400 Michael Boylan: I just wanted to advise Ms. Boyer, I suspect. Mr. Kelly already filled around, but the neighborhoods ommittee meeting on Monday, where they took up the Ambassador Hotel bill. There was a suggestion by one of the committee members may be appropriate time for Ms. Boyer to come and update the Council or research committee at least as to what's going on in the near future. 528 00:59:31.590 --> 00:59:40.140 Michael Boylan: I just suggest to them that we were in the process of reviewing the budget and perhaps that budget presentation has to be the appropriate time for that. I'll leave that to her discretion. 529 00:59:43.560 --> 00:59:54.510 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Thank you. I'd be happy to do that. And he did, he did brief me on it. So I don't know if it's the next committee cycle that they are asking for that, or just sometime in the next month. 530 00:59:55.080 --> 01:00:00.450 Michael Boylan: I'd recommend , I'd hold off until the budget process happens quite honestly, it doesn't need to happen right away. 531 01:00:01.680 --> 01:00:03.300 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Okay, thank you. Sure. 532 01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:10.590 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Thank you miss Boyer. anything else for the board. 533 01:00:14.700 --> 01:00:14.970 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Yes. 534 01:00:15.030 --> 01:00:15.780 Carol Worsham (DIA Board): Yes, thank you. Thank you. I wondered if we might have a brief DDRB update I received several emails from regarding the door building and I saw an article in the paper that they meet and and what was the outcome of the meeting and the Doro of building and you update us on that. 538 01:00:38.640 --> 01:00:42.660 Lori Boyer (DIA CEO): Yes, Mr. Parola do that, who was staff to the meeting. Mr. Parola. 539 01:00:43.830 --> 01:00:46.320 guy parola (DIA Staff): Thank thank you Miss Boyer. board board member Worsham through the chair. So the d'Oro building which will colloquially call it the entire block actually was approved for final approval last Thursday. There was a substantial conversation from people that felt that the the Doro building itself so that that one building located at a Philip and Adam Street should have been protected. We went through the various discussion points as to what the proper way to protect something is that it did not carry it any protections and the board ended up approving mixed use development there. Aside from those who felt that the building should be saved or least facades of it should be saved. There was, there was also this board members that really applauded the design of the building and recognize that the area has changed over, over time, I believe. Ina has or will soon have the meeting, the recording of the meeting online or available for anyone who would like to listen to it, I believe. Ina also has I know she prepared one for the meeting, kind of an assembly of all the public comments we received via email if any of our board members would like a copy of that we can provide that as well. It's all public record. 548 01:02:10.170 --> 01:02:10.620 Carol Worsham (DIA Board): Thank you. 549 01:02:11.130 --> 01:02:11.940 guy parola (DIA Staff): You're very welcome. 550 01:02:16.020 --> 01:02:22.260 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): I see no further hands. That being the case, we will entertain a motion to adjourn. 551 01:02:22.950 --> 01:02:23.760 Ron Moody (DIA Board): So moved. 552 01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:37.050 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): And I want to thank each and every one of you. Sorry for the glitch. I blame my outage on a solar flare. How's that from the sun energy from the sun that knocked off my signal so 553 01:02:37.380 --> 01:02:39.030 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Until then, we hope we can meet 554 01:02:39.270 --> 01:02:47.010 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): In June in person. But if not, we'll meet one another on zoom everyone. Have a good afternoon. Thank you for attending. 555 01:02:48.180 --> 01:02:48.660 Craig Gibbs (DIA Board Chair): Goodbye.
