CONSIDERATION OF AGENDA It was moved by Rentenbach, seconded by Zemaitis to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 5-0.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

PUBLIC COMMENT - None

DIRECTOR COMMENTS Galla noted that she has gone back and forth with Janik and attorney David Stoker with emails regarding documents and there are still a few minor tweaks to be made. 2nd document is resolution which is only actual action you have to take care of today. Leland River Lots Second Agreement – the title needs to change as it has two actions in the title and has to be changed for recording with the county. We have requested they clean up that title. Next document is Exhibit A, restated condominium bylaws. Section 5.6 on page 10 of 21, title is Well and Water Infrastructure Expense Reimbursement. Revision is Units 1-9 were increased from $4,000 per unit to $7,500 per unit. Units 10, 11 and 12 which are ones being sold to Mr. LaFave, stay at $2,000 per unit. Below that is a section that if the LCBRA ends up retaining any of these, you will not pay that amount. It only kicks in after these go into the new condominium. Next change is the Order Granting Approval and in that Item I, page 4 of 7, this is the Order with the Township that the township and LCBRA and the developer sign. Rentenbach asked if this was sent and Galla stated it is right behind the Resolution in the packet. Item I was clarified as it was being worked on between the developer and the Township on Unit 9, the historic jail building. This section has nothing to do with the LCBRA, it is the agreement between Courthouse Redevelopment Group and the Township and this section is modified that they will try to preserve the old jail or get it to a non-profit. If that doesn’t work, they have right to come back to the township to ask for that lot to be a buildable lot. Galla said she still needed some revisions on documents for Courthouse Redevelopment Group, including the 20% match portion that CRG needs to pay the LCBRA at closing ($38,662.50). A long time ago when this was being negotiated, it was agreed the LCBRA would pay half and CRG would pay half. All of these documents are being reviewed by the attorney before they will be finalized for approval and signing. Final change is the description on the Warranty Deeds as the description needs to change to the new descriptions under the new condominium. Janik asked about this document and Galla said she sent it to our attorney right away who said he was NOT comfortable with the Warranty Deeds as they needed to show the new legal descriptions. CRG is changing the two condo developments on the site with 24 total units and taking it down to 1 condo development with 12 total units. That has to be done first and we have to assign rights to CRG and then sell the new lots, Lots 10, 11 and 12, to Mr. LaFave. All these documents have been done in order to take the two condos, transfer down to one condo, and then record all the documents and Warranty Deed. So the action that the attorney stated has to be done today, the only action, is to approve the Resolution. The Resolution covers signing all of the documents, as well as the closing documents.

Walter said before we go to actual closing, we will get the approval from the attorney to sign. Galla agreed. Janik said if Walter does not get approval from the attorney, then he won’t be signing.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS - none NEW BUSINESS Leland Township Properties 1. Review of Closing Documents

Rentenbach felt having the last line in the Resolution to have approval by the attorney, covers us. Zemaitis commented that the attorney only looks at it from the legal standpoint. He doesn’t look at it financially. He doesn’t look at errors. Rentenbach said the only thing we had questions about were the match. Galla replied that is on the settlement statement. The other changes are coming from the developer, to meet township requirements. Janik asked if there were other changes and Galla was not aware of any but members could ask the attorney if there are additional questions. Zemaitis questioned Leland River Lots, 2nd amendment, pg 6 of 7. Why is Iron Bridge Capital, LLC, its manager? She was uncomfortable with that. Galla said that was the document they put together for the township, to get the amendment to the PUD. Zemaitis said our documents do not have anything to do with Iron Bridge Capital, LLC. All our buy sell agreements do not have that on there. Rentenbach said it was a good question for our attorney. Janik stated we could ask that question of our attorney and he is available by phone. Rentenbach asked when closing would be. Galla said 3 pm and 4 pm tomorrow, with the two parties. The last document they are waiting for is the site plan revision that shows the 12 units and it has to be signed off and stamped by licensed surveyor and engineer. They are working on that and we have emails this morning regarding that but it is unlikely it will be done tomorrow. It may be next week. It will be soon.

Janik contacted Attorney David Stoker by phone and he was put on speaker. Walter reviewed the question Zemaitis had, regarding Iron Bridge Capital and told Attorney Stoker that none of our prior documents had listed Iron Bridge Capital, LLC. Stoker agreed. He will call the attorney for the buyer. The agreement is with Courthouse Redevelopment. If Iron Bridge is signing for CRG, then we would need a resolution authorizing them to do that. Galla stated she pulled the file on the purchase and one of the Addendums is signed by Ross Satterwhite, as operating member of Iron Bridge Capital. Stoker said at closing, there will need to be a resolution giving authority for them to sign on behalf of CRG. This is more of an agreement with the township than with us. We are involved for about 5 minutes before we turn it over to CRG. Mark Eckhoff present at 1:15 pm.

Stoker said it was more of an agreement with the township than with us. We want to be sure that the signer at closing is the signer to represent CRG. Walter asked if we needed a new resolution. Stoker said our agreement is with CRG and we don’t need to do anything beyond that. If the other party gets added on their end, that is their problem. Our deal is with CRG. Walter clarified wording on our resolution makes no difference. Stoker replied no. If I’m the township, I’m going to want to know if Iron Bridge is signing, what authority they have to sign. Walter said he did not want something to hold us up, once we get to closing. Janik said that would not be our issue, it would be their issue. Stoker mentioned we need to understand the general background of what is going on here. We have deeds to get rid of old condos and make new condos before we do the transfer. Some of that goes all the way back to Varley Kelley, because they layed out the condos and only did 2 condos and called everything else common elements. Stoker explained the order of the documents and said the LCBRA is developer for about 5 minutes, until the transfer occurs.

Janik asked Eckhoff if Mr. LaFave is the purchaser. Eckhoff said the purchaser is Leland Real Estate LLC. Walter asked if resolution needs to change to Leland Real Estate, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company. Stoker answered, yes. The proposal came in as Gene LaFave, we could also include both names. Eckhoff commented it (purchase agreement) came in as Gene LaFave or ‘assigns’. He maintained right to assign to another entity which is what he is doing. LaFave specifically did that. The purchase agreement said ‘or assigns’. Eckhoff said LaFave’s attorney has already requested that any legal documents related to this be changed to Leland Real Estate LLC. Stoker asked if we could get it in writing. Eckhoff said the organizational documents for the LLC already state that. Janik asked if we needed proof that it is reassigned from Gene LaFave to Leland Real Estate LLC. Stoker said it would be done at closing, and it could say Gene LaFave or the LLC. Eckhoff asked why you would do that? The purchase agreement says Gene LaFave ‘or assigns’. Galla confirmed that is what is on the purchase agreement. Walter said the resolution needs to be clear before we approve it. Eckhoff stated on your document you are approving, you could have Gene LaFave or assigns. Walter clarified he would show the document at closing. As to who is signing. Eckhoff answered yes, and the title company already has that document. Resolution will be changed to read “Eugene LaFave or assigns”.

Members thanked Stoker. Stoker said he just got email from Satterwhite stating final documents are being submitted to the title company. The site plan is the only thing left, because surveyor has not finished it yet, we are still waiting on that. Janik asked Stoker if he was comfortable with that. Stoker answered yes. It is better having all this reviewed ahead of time, before closing. We want final versions that everyone has looked at. Even if we delay closing a couple of days, it is worth it. Call ended with Attorney Stoker.

2. Approval of Resolution 2017-03 Resolution changed to add ‘or assigns’. It was moved by Janik, seconded by Rentenbach to approve resolution 2017-03 as presented, with modifications noted today. Roll Call Vote: Janik-yes Rentenbach-yes Sterken-yes Zemaitis-yes Walter-yes Motion carried 5-0. Janik commended Zemaitis for a good question regarding Iron Bridge. FINANCIALS – None CORRESPONDENCE/ COMMUNICATION ITEMS – None PUBLIC COMMENT Gary Zemaitis of Leland Township spoke and said over the years, he has been watching this process and wanted to compliment the board to make sure it is done right because over the years there’s been

so many mistakes where this county and taxpayers lost so much money on this deal. So you have to cross the t’s and dot the i’s and don’t be afraid to not be the rubber stamp. Being the rubber stamp puts us at risk, the citizens, to make up the difference, which we have done several times on this property. Thank you for your time and thank you for your diligence. Walter thanked Zemaitis for his comments.

DIRECTOR COMMENTS –None MEMBER COMMENTS/CHAIRPERSON COMMENTS Janik thanked Galla as she has spent countless hours, especially the last few years and last few weeks going back and forth constantly on this. She has done a great job. Rentenbach also thanked Galla, and said it was really gratifying to see this coming to an end. Hope it is tomorrow, or within the next few days.

Zemaitis felt this is a very momentous occasion for all the citizens of the county to get this back on the tax rolls, which was the idea of taking a brownfield area and giving it back to be developed, so it is useful part of the community and will give back to the community. Very happy to have been part of the process.

ADJOURN It was moved by Rentenbach, seconded by Zemaitis to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 1:37 pm.

 REPORTS – none  UNFINSIHED BUSINESS – none  NEW BUSINESS 1. Request for Brownfield Plan amendment.  Ron Walters, West Shore and Mac McClelland, Otwell 

Mawby   McClelland handed out summary of changes for the Plan. McClelland stated the request today was to amend the brownfield plan that was done for West Bay in 2007 and then amended later in 2007.  Project did not proceed forward.  Walters has come back with a new partnership to change the project and continue on and redevelop the property.  Would like to be able to utilize many of the similar activities that were there, many of the environmental activities are the same and some additional activities being requested in the amendment.  He mentioned that he had spoken with Hawkins and there are some technical changes, could get into brownfield mired detailed discussions but think what they would like to consider today is an adoption of the brownfield amendment with final approval from Galla and Hawkins.  Would like to request that today to keep the project moving forward.  

 McClelland reviewed the list of revisions.  The project is now West Shore, it was going to be $8 million dollar commercial and residential with boat storage and marina.  It has changed to $18 million hotel – more investment, more tax generation, and good deal of opportunity to increase the taxes and decrease time to recapture taxes.  Melichar property, the Dockside party store and former Knights of Columbus were included in the original plan as potential eligible properties since negotiations were under way for those properties. That did not proceed. Project is limited to 3 properties:  main property that was Zephyr Oil, the residential to the north, and the marina.  The marina has a parcel number and should be added so eligible activities on eligible properties can be considered. Going to dredge the marina and there may be contaminated soils. Dredging is a new environmental activity that is available.   In essence, taking off those 3 parcels, initial taxable value is based on other 2 parcels and the marina parcel.  Marina parcel is valued at zero right now.  Just capturing on those parcels in 2017 and then increase on those parcels.  Previous plan had limitation of 15 years from 2007 and part of the amendment is to codify that.  At meeting last month, mentioned that this would be up in 2022.  There wouldn’t really be enough time for capture.  Asking for the time period to be extended to 2030.   That still allows for the additional 5 years for the Local Brownfield Redevelopment Fund (LCRF).  Added eligible activities of:  dredging materials, non‐environmental (lead and asbestos abatement surveys, abatement on existing buildings, and site & building demo).  Also in the plan a serious of 4 or 5 questions on relocation of any residences.  Had to address that in the original plan but those have been vacant now for some time.  Also added in language that Galla requested which was to address the reimbursement agreement and refer back to it.  Also updated some of the environmental information.   In a summary:  changes in eligible properties, extending the capture period, and adding some eligible activities.

 Rentenbach raised a question on the initial taxable value.  McClelland said there were originally 5 parcels in the Plan; the residential property to the north, main Zephyr facility, and then ownership carved out of that parcel (Melichar property, Dockside, and Knights of Columbus).  All were originally included in the Brownfield Plan.  Those properties are no longer in play for this capture and they are suggesting eliminating those parcels from this Plan.  Their initial taxable value is about $677,000.  Rentenbach asked about the Melichar property and McClelland said it is commercial property, on the south boundary.  McClelland said for their purposes, it doesn’t matter if it is included or not included.   It could be left in and left to capture on it, but they thought it was best to exclude those parcels as they are not part of the project.    Janik said he assumed our consultant would respond.    Egan asked for Hawkins to comment.  Egan asked where in brownfield plan does it come up with the initial taxable value?  McClelland answered it is on top of page 6.  Was originally established for 5 parcels in 2006 tax year at $1,166,638.  With elimination of parcels, initial value is $677,159.  Egan suggested talking pros and cons of taking out those other parcels. When originally done, she remembers asking question of why these properties were included.  At the time, it made sense to capture increase of surrounding parcels.  Let’s make sure we understand pros and cons of going from 5 parcels to 3.  McClelland said from our standpoint, it doesn’t matter.   Initial motivation was they wanted to try and acquire those properties.  They were included as potential. You can capture more taxes by leaving those in – that’s choice of the LCBRA.  We thought since they are not part of the project and there is no development, removing them would be more straightforward. Egan liked the fact they are not in there now.    Rentenbach and Zemaitis thought it was good to remove the 3 parcels.  Janik asked if there was any reason the parcels should be in there.  McClelland answered to capture value.   Zemaitis asked if there were any environmental problems on those 3 parcels.  Galla said she was not aware of any.  Galla asked for Hawkins in put on whether or not the parcels could be taken out since we have been collecting on these. Has Hawkins seen this happen before – where parcels are removed from a brownfield plan?   Hawkins thought the approach the new developer wants to take is appropriate, amending a brownfield plan is appropriate, we are not resetting the initial year of tax capture so we are staying within the allowed 30 years of tax capture, and time frame is shorter than original development because of increased investment.   We can’t change initial year of tax capture because tax capture has been occurring, and we can add eligible activities to a plan.  The activities they are proposing to add, in addition to what is already in the plan, are appropriate:  dredging, asbestos, lead, etc.  Hawkins felt there were some thing that need to be worked through.  Galla had raised the question about going from 5 parcels to 3 parcels and it is a possibility.  He thought it would be okay to remove parcels from a plan. The challenge is the brownfield plan has been capturing on all 5 parcels, since plan was initiated in 2007.  One of the things that is a trigger that allows us to amend this plan or to terminate, is the fact that it has been captured.  If you had not been capturing, you would have had to shut the plan down or reset it and start over.  Plan shows reset of value to the 2 parcels remaining.  Showing a lower initial taxable value – would be of the mind we really can’t do that because it was portrayed at capturing it at $1,000,000 vs. $677,000.   McClelland noted the Brownfield Act talks about capturing by parcels, so parcels can be eliminated or left remaining.

 Hawkins said if we can demonstrate what the initial value was for all 5 original parcels, he would be of the opinion that you could take 3 out and just include the 2 at their initial value back in 2007.  He didn’t think you could just show it all the way back as has been done in the tables.  McClelland said he didn’t realize taxes had been captured all along.    Hawkins felt everything else was legitimate.  One of the benefits to amending vs. starting over, there are already approvals from DEQ for Act 381 Work Plan.   Want to make sure DEQ is going to honor that, perhaps a phone call with them.  He has not done a category by category comparison, out of Act 381 work plan and Table I eligible activities, what costs have already been incurred.  There are some things completed that were already under the plan.  McClelland asked if that was under the DEQ Brownfield grant.  Hawkins said there was some outside of that – not a lot.    Hawkins mentioned a couple minor things to fix in the amendment.  Hawkins brought to the attention of the LCBRA, that the developer is requesting their debt service be paid with interest.  That was in the last plan, and interest is eligible for reimbursement. It shows prime rate minus 1%.   You can look at what others do. You have a policy which you can follow, or choose not to follow.  As far as Michigan Strategic Fund, they typically max it at 5% annually at simple interest, or up to 5%.  Don’t have spreadsheets in excel so assuming you are calculating it based on what you think debt will be and calculating that through your debt.  Need a simple form on how you are calculating that interest.  McClelland said he used interest calculation.  Hawkins mentioned total interest is greater than $700,000 over time.  The question to LCBRA is when should it be paid?  Some people pay interest as they go and some pay at the end.   Hawkins said the amendment still allows for the Brownfield Authority to capture the Local Brownfield Redevelopment Fund (LBRF) at the end, and still within time frames.  As with all of this, it is dependent on investment made and values created.   Hawkins noted there need to be clarifications of millages included because based on what he is seeing, the tables don’t match.   Egan asked if originally there was both DEQ grant and loan on this property.  Hawkins answered yes. There was an even split of approximately $580,000 grant and same of loan. The original intent was to use the loan to get through some activities. When 2008 hit and financial challenges arose, DEQ allowed charging to grant only.  About $34,000 of grant and a couple thousand on the loan were used. There was minimized impact on the property. The loan was paid off and closed out, and the grant is gone.  McClelland asked if it was moved to the Norris school property.  Galla said the funds were allocated to Norris school property but never used on that site.  Rentenbach asked what is being requested. McClelland asking for approval of the amendment, with final approval by Galla and Hawkins. You do need to approve it so we can move forward with the township, public hearing, etc.  The context is appropriate, do have some things to clear up.  Hawkins asked about numbers for the final development. Has there been any conversation with the assessor on those numbers?  McClelland answered no, actually investment would be more than $18 million but we took those numbers down.  Hawkins said we typically ask the assessor to look at these numbers and come up with future value of what is anticipated for the project.  That’s what we base our numbers on.  Janik said progress was being made, but there are still some unresolved issues.  McClelland is asking LCBRA to approve this pending approval by Hawkins and Galla, but there seems to be some unresolved

issues.  Janik asked Galla and Hawkins if this can be approved or if we need final report and special board meeting.    Galla said she was not a voting member, she was fine with helping to review it and working with Hawkins and McClelland, but not with signing off on this.  She would be more comfortable that once it is a final document, it is back in front of the LCBRA and get concurrence from the township and approval with County Board.  Janik said that was his point – we don’t have final approval by Galla or Hawkins.    Rentenbach asked if we could hold a special meeting if time is of the essence.  She would be willing to do that but would prefer holding off until we get the answers.  Hawkins said it’s always helpful to hear from the developer on the timing and what they need to finish.  Maybe it’s a good question for the developer to ask for a sense of timing from the developer and how this fits in.  Walters said he was on the agenda for township tonight to approve site plan and he felt they would get that approval.  Wanted to start working on the site immediately, especially on one building that needs to be demolished before it caves in.  Trying to get to it in early June.  If approval goes through tonight, would like to start that.  It is an eligible activity so we need the Plan approved.  McClelland said there are allowances to allow those activities to occur if they are in the Plan.  Hawkins replied the DEQ won’t do that.    Zemaitis asked Galla about our policy and fees for amended brownfield plan.  Galla replied that Walters filled out the application for Part I and Part II and paid fees for both. Amendment falls under Part II.  Janik asked how much time it would take to come up with completed amendment. McClelland said if they have time, could talk after the meeting, go through the details, prepare draft plan fairly quickly and get back to Galla and Hawkins.  Hawkins hoped we could do something like that.  There may be some questions.  Also, we just had a 2 hour session on May 4 encouraging assessors to make sure they are part of the process and that’s important.  Janik asked Hawkins if it was a fair statement that Hawkins was not ready to make recommendation to LCBRA on this amendment.  Hawkins said based on the current situation and some of the numbers, he would not recommend approval based on numbers portrayed. They are close, but there are still some things to iron out.  The basics of the plan with respect to amendment request, TIF, term of the plan, ballpark with respect to the values in there – he felt it was close and the issues are resolvable.  Hawkins could not answer the question if interest calculation was acceptable to the LCBRA.  Galla and Hawkins can’t answer that for the LCBRA.  Janik said he was not comfortable making a decision without recommendation from Hawkins on moving forward, and Hawkins is not ready to make recommendation.  Hawkins said if you want to set something today, then we could work through other items in here.  But there are certain things Hawkins could not answer.  Janik asked if a 1 week window would work?  McClelland thought that would work with the township and county board meeting dates, if we can hit those June dates that would be fine.  Janik said the next LCBRA meeting is 4 weeks away.   Walters mentioned the township meetings coincide with our meeting, on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. He wants to be on their agenda to approve the Brownfield Amendment as well.    Walters commented as far getting values from an assessor, to give you an idea ‐ they used construction cost which will be lower than value. At construction cost, payback is fast.  $18 million is probably a low number. They have 122,000 square feet of hotel rooms being built, with other facilities.  If you apply any

kind of a reasonable number to that, $18 million is on the low side and payback would be quick, about 35 months or so from time it is built.  The interest is calculated over the whole time period.  Realistically it should only be 1/8 of that because of time frames.  McClelland said they can work it out and see what specific questions are and information Galla and Hawkins need, and then meeting in a week to 10 days set up review of final plan.    Members asked about special meeting. Galla said if you are going into June already with township meeting and County Board meeting – do you need a special meeting or can you handle this at your regular June meeting?  Janik said if we have a special meeting, can get the questions resolved.  McClelland thought the township and County Board would like action of the LCBRA in their meeting packets.  Walters said if all the work has been done, and McClelland can not make the meeting but he and Galla and Hawkins are in agreement  ‐ would that be sufficient? Janik thought it would.  Walters commented on Galla’s suggestion taking it to the June meeting.  If that is done at township level, we would probably have an issue with the township.  Galla noted the order with the Two Peas site and we took it to the Village first.  Walters commented on the township, and they would want LCBRA approval first, before they meet.  He felt positive of that.  Galla asked if a meeting was being set?  Also, there is a charge for a special meeting.  Are you charging that fee or waiving it?  Egan said we have to charge it.  This is the applicant wanting to expedite things for their schedule, it’s not because we didn’t do our homework and we are slowing it down.     Special meeting set for 10:30 am on Tuesday, May 30 for finalization of plan amendment.  Sterken said it seems like interest is something we need to come to agreement on.  Hawkins has informed us he could not tell us how to decide, but has given information on what others have done.   Galla noted that after this is done, assuming it is completed, there has to be a new Reimbursement Agreement done between the LCBRA and the developer, and that spells out terms and you have done that before on other plans.  It also spells out if there are conflicts between the plan and the Reimbursement Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement takes priority.  So, you can spell out in there, and you have in the past, who gets paid and in what order.  There are priorities as to what gets reimbursed back.  McClelland said the Brownfield plan sets the boundaries, the reimbursement agreement operates from actual costs, the interest rate is set within that and there is a number that you can’t go over.  Hawkins mentioned the order of things for approvals. Everyone has acknowledged public notices have to be done, and go to full County Board and they adopt plan amendment. That is subject to your recommendation of approval and the township, as well, and 10 day notice is needed for taxing jurisdictions.  Zemaitis asked on the $100,000 amount for brownfield administrative and operating costs.  McClelland said it is split between environmental and non‐environmental with a $90,000 and $10,000 split.       It was moved by Janik, seconded by Rentenbach, to table the discussion and have a special meeting on Tuesday, May 30 at 10:30 am.  Motion carried 6‐0.

It was moved Motion by Rentenbach, seconded by Soutas‐Little to approve the Dirt Fill Agreement for the Leland site, as presented. Motion carried 6‐0. 

 3. Request from Land Bank for assessment funds – Mill St., Maple City Wells said there are recognizable environment concerns (RECs) on the property and he is recommending Phase II on the site to see if there are any contaminants in soil or water before demolishing buildings. There are a couple other options, on how land bank may want to manage site long term.    John Gallagher said Land Bank feels the site is best suited for housing. The site itself is right in the middle of Maple City, neighbors are concerned with conditions on the site and would like to see it returned to useful state.  So the use of these funds to interface and check to see if there is any contamination would be beneficial.  They are moving forward in pursuit of demolition.  And then, if there is contamination they could possibly entertain looking at a brownfield plan. May be premature at this point of discussion but, none the less, he felt it was prudent to look forward to some kind of  housing complex or house on that property because 1) it’s in dire need and 2) best use of that parcel.    Egan summarized that we have a Work Order for Phase II, Environmental Site Assessment that would cost $6,885, and there is an introduction of the idea of a brownfield plan on the site.  Gallagher added, if it is feasible.    Wells said the way he proposed this is there are 2 tasks in order here for a brownfield plan.   The first part is a lower cost, just doing TIF table projection, looking at the cost, and end use to see what available taxes there are to see if it makes sense to do a plan.  If you are going to do a plan, are you able to capture the costs within a reasonable time and is it worth it or is it a hassle to take the time and expense to do this.  If you decide to do it, then you can proceed with a brownfield plan and incur the full cost.    Galla asked if that was the top portion of Work Order #23 and Well replied, yes.    Egan – county got the property and we are spending money on this and the funds could come back out of the sale of the property.  Galla said you also have ability through a brownfield plan to capture 5 years for the LBRF.  Egan was trying to look at rationale of doing the brownfield plan.  Wells said one of the reasons to run a TIF analysis on this – if it is a homestead property and you can’t capture the 18 mills, that is a big chunk.  If it is a rental or a second home and it is non‐homestead, then the 18 mills are available and makes more send for a brownfield plan.  Not knowing what the end use is, makes it difficult.  If we do the TIF projection, can give you a couple different scenarios depending on the end use.  Egan said the first step is a Work Order for Phase II.    It was moved by Rentenbach, seconded by Janik, to approve Work Order #22 in an amount not to exceed $6,885 out of the EPA assessment grant. Motion carried 6‐0.  

 Members agreed they wanted the results from Work Order #22 before considering Work Order #23.  Request to County Board – Extend Assessment Grant Galla noted that Leelanau County received the EPA grants, and we are not able to expend all these funs when the term will be up later this fall.  In the past, we have asked for an extension.  It is a draft letter

A Special Meeting of the Leelanau County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (LCBRA) was held on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at the Government Center.    CALL TO ORDER Meeting called to order at 10:30 am by Chairman Walter, who led the Pledge of Allegiance  ROLL CALL Members Present:      M. Walter, C. Janik, K. Egan, P. Soutas‐Little, K. Zemaitis,            C. Rentenbach (10:45 am) Members Absent (prior notice):   K. Sterken  Staff Present:        T. Galla Public Present        Eric Carlson, Mac MacLelland, Ron Walters, Pat Johnson,            (representatives from 2 TV stations and the Record Eagle)  CONSIDERATION OF AGENDA Motion by Janik, seconded by Zemaitis, to approve the agenda as presented.  Motion carried 5‐0.  (Rentenbach not present at this time)  CONFLICT OF INTEREST – None  PUBLIC COMMENT ‐ None  DIRECTOR COMMENTS  Galla commented on bank notice she received that the Leland branch will be closing.  It was noted that one of the offices in Suttons Bay will also close.    UNFINISHED BUSINESS ‐ None  NEW BUSINESS West Shore Properties – Request to Amend Brownfield Plan 

1.  Amendment  Janik asked Galla to give an overview of the Amendment.    Galla reported that she would update on what she and Hawkins have worked on with Mac McClelland and Ron Walters over the last couple weeks and McClelland and Walters could clarify or update on any of that.  The amendment has gone back and forth a couple times and Galla and Hawkins have been reviewing the dollars listed in the Amendment, along with cleaning up some of the terms in the document. The tables are probably the heart of the amendment that has received the most attention from Galla and Hawkins, and how they add up.  Keep in mind these are estimated costs.  The Amendment shows the estimates and the Reimbursement Agreement will look at how funds will be reimbursed back and that will be based on paid invoices, lien waivers, etc.  Going to page 7, a question that Galla had a lot of questions on, and those questions were based on previous dollar amounts and the numbers didn’t quite add up.  Total Tax Revenue and Captured Revenue were not the same in some parts of the charts and McClelland stated that the links to these charts needed to be updated.

Galla continued, noting that the 1st year is 2007 which is the current brownfield plan, known as West Bay, with capture showing down to 2017. Galla has not been able to verify the final numbers with the County Treasurer, he was not available last week. These are costs we have already captured. Starting in 2018, you will see how the numbers increase as the redevelopment of this site starts occurring.  Next couple pages show the changes in the legal descriptions, there are a couple parcels coming out of the plan and there will be 3 parcels, plus personal property. Note that when personal property numbers are identified those will also be included.  They added a map which shows the properties.   Table 1.1 eligible activity costs, spells everything out from BEA to Due Care, stormwater, dewatering, etc..  As you get to the bottom you see 8 years interest listed at 5% simple interest.   The LCBRA Fee Schedule allows interest and that is capped at 5%.  Administration and operation costs are the LCBRA costs.  Table 1.2 is non‐environmental eligible activity costs and totals are at the bottom, which is where the additional $10,000 for administration and operation costs is listed for the LCBRA – total of $100,000 for LCBRA.  Larger tables toward the back were requested to be put into the document, similar to prior plans.  These allow us to look at the millages, estimated costs per year, and have it spelled out in a chart.   Janik asked if Galla and Hawkins were comfortable with this amendment.  Galla said the last email she got from Hawkins was if the LCBRA could approve it and allow us to still make any final little fixes to it, he would be comfortable with it.   We still wanted to go over some of the dollars and should not take too long but with the holiday weekend and people being out of the office, it was a little difficult to do it through emails.    Janik asked what type of fixes and Galla said the charts.  Would like the ability to go over that again and review with Walters and McClelland and get them as close as possible before it goes to the township.  Janik asked if Hawkins was endorsing it with those final fixes and if Galla felt the same way, and Galla concurred.    Walter restated that we would be looking for approval, with a last review by Galla and Hawkins.  Janik asked if Galla and Hawkins were of the same opinion on this and Galla replied, yes.  Walter said this chart starts out in 2007 but basically, what we are talking about is 2018 and beyond.  The other amounts were already captured.  Galla said that was also her understanding.   Walter reiterated that capture is from 2018 and moving forward.   McClelland said he still owes Galla some other forms.  This is the new state form that is required for state tax capture.  First year is the annual capture.  2nd page is probably more significant.  Provides what the capture is and balance of reimbursement.  This shows the capture of state and local would end in 16th year of the plan, starting at 2007 to 2023 is what we anticipated.  As Galla stated, these are all estimates.  Millage rates change every year and these are out of date the next year but at least they provide an overview of the costs.  Also, provides for Local Brownfield Revolving Fund (LBRF) capture for additional 5 years so it would end in 2027.  Really appreciated Hawkins and Galla review of this.  McClelland was out of the state and had to go back and forth a bit, really appreciated that.  The plan will be paid off in relatively short period of time because of value of the property ‐ $18 million anticipated for expenditures.  As Galla said, will be expensing those.  Don’t know all the activities we will have to incur, kind of included the worst case scenario and we can’t go above that but will be below those costs.  Have to document environmental and non‐environmental costs and those are the obligations upon which they will be paid.

Janik asked Galla if there was anything unique or that sticks out or we should be aware of in this Plan?  Galla replied she did have one question, and it goes back to the name of this – a condo hotel.  She asked Walters if any of the units would be individually sold, because that would affect how they are taxed. Walters said they were exploring every possibility at this point, and that is a possibility – that individual units would be sold to individual buyers but it would still be West Shore Hotel.  Idea is they would be making an investment in a room, as part of a pool of rooms, that would be rented out just as a hotel.  So, it operates as a hotel with the possibility of being sold individually.  Big benefit if it is sold individually is the value is reflective of the purchase price.   The average of what condos are being sold for in Traverse City and on the water per square foot basis would make the value of this project substantially higher than what is being reflected here as straight hotel.    So, if we do that, as far as the brownfield is concerned, it would be a much quicker return because now you’ve got individual units that are being valued based upon purchase price, from an assessor’s standpoint, as your basis for tax capture.  McClelland said his only concern would be if there were homesteads in those where you can not capture the 18 mills.  Walters said their documents will not allow for that.  By IRS standards, if you are able to stay 15 days or longer in your purchase, it is no longer an investment it is a 2nd home. If you stay 14 days at a time, it is considered an investment.  If we do that, (something we are exploring), our maximum stay would be 14 days, and would therefore be an investment, and could not be considered a homestead.  McClelland said that from tax capture it would have a significant impact because it would be more.   Peachy Rentenbach present at 10:45 am.  Soutas‐Little asked if you go in that direction, how many of the allowable rooms would you allow to be purchased.  Walters said they do not have definitive number at this time, exploring all options.  The idea is that we would have a majority of rooms not be sold.  We want to make sure in month of August or July, when you have most demand for rooms, that we have rooms available.  So, there would be a limitation, which is an unknown number at this time, of rooms that would be able to be occupied by an owner for a period of time, which would not be greater than 14 days.  Soutas‐Little said she was asking because one of the advantages is bringing available lodging for tourism. Walters agreed.  Soutas‐Little felt if the rooms are owner‐used, that cuts down availability of tourism rooms.  Walters replied that they want to have the rooms when tourists are here and dollars the highest, we want to have those rooms available.  There is a dollar sharing between the operating company and the investor.   If room rack rate is X in winter, and X times a multiple in the summer, you want that big dollar available for the split between the two.  So, keeping rooms available in July, August, September, October, the busiest months would be of highest regard for us because that’s when there’s the dollars to be made.  Conversely, from your standpoint or your question, that’s when the people would need the rooms and that’s when you want to provide them anyway so they work in unison.    Egan asked if you sell these units individually and they create new parcel numbers that are not in the plan, are we capturing on those numbers.  Walters said it would be a unit number on the same parcel.  McClelland replied it is based on the parent parcel.  Even if you have subsequent property numbers, it is within the parent parcel.   Egan asked if the plan should reflect that.  Walters didn’t feel that could happen at this point.  The new numbers would still be under the parent parcel.  McClelland said they are inclusive of the plan.  There are many properties that have splits and sold as 1 large eligible property and all those subsequent parcels are still included.  Egan asked Galla if she was comfortable with that. She said it would be similar to Leland property as we had metes and bounds descriptions to start with.  Then, it developed into condos and all those separate

numbers were part of the plan.  It will happen again as the new owner will have a new condo and numbers may change.    McClelland commented that as Galla said with courthouse property, if it is divided into more parcels, it is still captured on the whole property.  Janik commented that in theory, could recapture dollars faster. McClelland agreed.  Zemaitis asked if the estimated costs for administration were adequate and Galla replied, yes.    Janik asked for timeline to be explained again.  McClelland reviewed the timeline for township and county approval, notices to taxing jurisdictions, and public hearing notices.  For additional state tax capture, above what has already been approved, need to prepare an Act 381 Work Plan that comes to this body for review and approval and that is sent to the state and DEQ for environmental activities, and MEDC for non‐environmental activities.    Janik asked Galla if we are looking at the June County Board meeting for this item and Galla said yes, or the following meeting.  Galla noted with prior plans, we have done an update at the Executive Committee meeting of the County Board and then did the Public Hearing and final action the evening of the full Board meeting.  Janik asked if we could meet those deadlines and Galla said she is working with Hawkins on the notices required in order to try and meet the dates.  McClelland offered assistance, as well.   Walters said he had talked to Sara Kopriva at township and they can be on the meeting agenda in 2 weeks.  It may be a meeting item or perhaps on the consent agenda.  He has had amendments to a brownfield plan in Traverse City on consent agenda before, and those have gone through fine.  He thought they would be on the meeting in June at Elmwood Township.    Mark Walter asked about Act 381 Work Plan and if it was an amendment?  McClelland said one was done in 2007 and a number of activities were approved.  This will be a separate one as we have to do again to look at soils to removed, stormwater, etc.  It has to come back to the LCBRA to finalize numbers and has to be consistent with brownfield plan for submittal to DEQ for activities on the site.  It is a lot more detailed document.  Zemaitis asked about timing and said previously you said you would concentrate on the hotel first and then go into development of the marina.   She asked if that was still the plan.  Walters said they are doing it concurrently but the problem is there are a lot more approvals required for the marina.  So, even though it is happening at the same time, it is not going to look like it.  We were approved by the township for the hotel.  We are on the agenda for the 20th for the marina.  Once we get that, it is the Corps of Engineers, and DEQ.  Even though I had previous permits, they won’t accept those until the township first agrees to it.  It will take some time for that process, even though it is happening, it will be a lot slower.    Motion by Egan, seconded by Zemaitis, to accept the Amendment to the Brownfield Plan, pending final review from the Director and our Consultant and their concurrence on the numbers and the tables.   Amendment to the motion by Janik, seconded by Soutas‐Little, that we receive the written endorsement by June 16 from the Director and Consultant Jeff Hawkins.

Conference Overview

Back to Where it All StartedIn 1996, a cross-section of stakeholders came together in Pittsburgh for the very rst federally co-sponsored National Brown elds Training Conference.

Now more than two decades later, Brown elds 2017 is coming back to the city where the cleanup and redevelopment movement started.

Cosponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), the National

Brown elds Training Conference will take place December 5-7, 2017, with pre-conference workshops on December 4th, in Pittsburgh, PA at the David

L. Lawrence Convention Center. Offered every two years, the conference is the largest gathering of stakeholders focused on cleaning up and reusing

formerly utilized commercial and industrial properties.

Mark your calendars and join us for three days of training, networking and business development!
