held at the City Hall, Madison Room TO DO List:
Everyone attend March 5 board meeting
In attendance: Jon Owens, David Fine, Maddy Roche, Nolan Campbell, Andrew Cetraro,
Kevin Cook, Susan Fraser, Mayor Mehl
A. Call to Order – Andrew called to order at 4:31pm.
B. Changes to Agenda – none.
C. Public Comment – none.
D. Approve Minutes
Nolan motioned acceptance of January minutes as presented. Kevin seconded the motion.
All in favor.
E.1. Action Item – Audrey’s Pizza, Festival Street Project settlement
Danielle with Sanderson Stewart joined to explain. Settlement to close Aspen drive
entrance so can go to bid with project. Have been working on this since September and
easement document was delivered to the property owner two weeks ago, reported David.
Hoping for a final meeting with the owner tomorrow.
Discussion. No downside seen for owner. Kevin made the motion to direct staff to pull
offered easement at 3:30pm on February 18, 2020; Nolan seconded. More discussion. All
in favor.
E.2. Action Item – Nu2u, streetscape settlement
Seller’s representative is encouraging owners to do easement but they want some
agreement with board for ~$50K façade improvement grant. Discussion. Directed staff to
decline as façade trade is short-sighted and not aligned with the District’s goals.
E.3. Ongoing Urban Renewal Projects and Bonding
David reported the Commission heard the bond item on Monday and approved
unanimously. Now working on RFP for bonding agents.
Streetscape project out for bid; have heard interest from three contractors.
When engineering finalized for Festival Street then that will go out to bid. Have already
heard interest from one on bidding this project.
F. FYI
Nolan wants at some future board meeting to talk about adding a mechanism so that if a
property arises MURB might purchase it and use its sale to promote the District’s vision.
Discussion.
Adjournment
Andrew adjourned the meeting at 5:30pm.
