Park Street CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Bob Youde, Bob Giles, Monty Moore, and Colby Nielsen, Rick Fereday, Shelly Johnson, and Nic Swanson were all present as well as Community Development Director Michelle Groenevelt, Permit Tech Rachel Santiago-Govier and consultant Phil Kushlan. NEW BUSINESS • Request to .approve Professional Service Agreement for On Call Services • Request to approve Scope of Work For Consulting Services - Kushlan Associates Ms. Groenevelt introduced Mr. Kushlan who gave a brief introduction and synopsis of his experience with Urban Renewal. Ms. Groenevelt reviewed the need to create a new district. The current district will endrin the next 3 to 4 years. The board asked staff at the last meeting to procure professional services for the creation of a new district. Mr. Kushlan discussed the eligibility report and defining boundaries. He would like to limit owner residence properties, because they are exempt and do not generate revenue. Kushlan get feedback from the Board on the district study area and then examine it for eligibility. Base value of the new and old district cannot exceed the value of 10% of the district if they are created at the same time. If the old district sunsets than that is a non -issue. There can be more than one district as long as there is only one board. Chairman Moore asked about the State Legislatures viewpoint on Urban Renewal. Mr. Kushlan described that the State legislature has not been favorable towards Urban Renewal Districts. They have created some limiting rules that have caused difficulty and limitations for Urban Renewal Boards in general. Legislation surrounding Urban Renewal may change by the end of the year, and he suggested it would be best that the Board act before then. Legislation has changed the maximum number of years a district can exist from 30 to 20 years. Legislation has also limited Urban Renewal by geography, can only annex once. If the current plans are ever modified than the base assessment is reset. Urban Renewal Districts have to be very specific as to their goals, and they may not be added to or altered after being initially laid out. McCall Redevelopment Agency April 10, 2018 Minutes Chairman Fereday spoke to the history of some Idaho Urban Renewal Agencies and that there were a few bad actors in a few URA's in the past. This cast a bad light on agencies in general and the state legislature has passed legislation to regulate that behavior. In the case of McCall, the URA has been great for McCall and accomplished important and transformative projects. Member Youde asked about the funding of this consulting and whether it should come from the URA or the City Council because UR funds must be spent within the district. Mr. Kushlan stated that there can be an administrative budget for the operations of the board and the funds can come from there without upsetting and bond holders. It is a,loan that can be paid back once the new district is established. Chairman Fereday asked who Mr. Kushlan's associates are in his firm. His wife is the Associate. Member Swanson asked about the deliverables. There will be three; he will be presenting a map, a report for the board, and a written attachment for the plan. CH2Hill had previously provided a delineation for a 3`d street urban renewal area as requested by a previous McCall City Council. Ms. Groenevelt had provided that historical analysis of the development along the corridor to the board and to Mr. Kushlan. Member Youde made a Motion to approve the draft scope of work and Professional Service Agreement for On Call Services from Kushlan in the amount not to exceed $18,000.00.
