Most business owners did not feel safe due to inadequate lighting. The CRA Master Plan authorizes the Board to improve perceptions of nighttime safety and fund incentive programs; therefore, $35,000 was established for a matching grant. To establish participant interest, business owners will receive a letter from the Board explaining the program and the owner s financial responsibility. The results will determine the scope of the project. A slide presentation provided the specifics of the program.

Special Announcements and Comments None. 3. Amendment to Tri-Party Development Agreement The amendment to the Tri-Party Development Agreement affects the Phase II parcel of the Municipal Complex site. The original agreement was approved over a year ago, and Deputy City Manager Jennifer Bramley reviewed the events leading to proposed amendment. The Tri-Party Agreement ensures cost efficiencies for the parties and contemporaneous development of the area and construction of the Municipal Complex, the Parking Garage, the Phase II parcel and the Phase III parcel. It established a clear set of activities that are to take place and obligations for each of the three parties in the Tri-Party Agreement. The obligations, as approved in October 2015 include deadlines for deliverables. The Tri-Party Agreement stipulated that as of October 1, 2016, Amera Corporation was to submit a final site plan as articulated and specified within the Land Development Code. Final site plan includes floor plans, building elevations, existing tree survey overlaid on the proposed site plan, civil engineering plans, drainage calculations, soil erosion and sediment control plan, landscape plans, public safety/security plans, photometric plans and traffic and noise studies if applicable and required by the Director of Development Services. On October 13, 2016, the Development Services Department received a submittal from Amera Corporation, but the submittal did not meet the requirements for a Final Site Plan as described in the Land Development Code secondary site plan submittal. Amera was informed that the submittal was incomplete on October 19, 2016, via correspondence from James Hickey, Chair of the Development Review Committee, and Amera did not object that it was not a final complete submittal.

5 CRA Board Special Meeting Summary November 28, 2016 Page 2 Amera is requesting additional time to complete the submittal and move forward with the development. The letter from Amera dated November 17, 2016, was ed to the CRA Board this morning. It also contained a draft of the Tri-Party Development amendment. Any extension of time necessitates an amendment to the Tri-Party Agreement and all parties must approve the amendment. Deputy City Manager Jennifer Bramley then reviewed the First Amendment to the Tri-Party Development Agreement: The amendment addresses parts of the agreement that are affected by an extension of time. The amendment allows for an extension for final site plan submittal from October 1, 2016 to March 7, The amendment allows for an extension of the commencement of construction of a principal structure from August 1, 2017 to December 1, 2017, but it still stipulates that construction of all improvements must be completed no later than 24 months after the final site plan approval. The amendment stipulates that Amera submit executed letters of interest for 50% of the floor area for the Phase II parcel. In discussions with Amera, the parties mutually agreed that the term letters of interest as required in the Amendment shall mean letters from specific entities stating the entities intent to locate within the Phase II Parcel Development. The parties also mutually agreed that while the letters of interest would not be binding on the entities providing the letters, the letters must state a specific, clear intent to locate in the Phase II Parcel Development. George Rahael confirmed that he was clear on Deputy City Manager Bramley s statement. The information was ed to Mr. Rahael earlier today; however, the City had not received a response. Mr. Rahael again confirmed he agreed with the verbiage. Language was added to the agreement via this amendment that should the site plan and the letters of interest not be submitted by March 7, 2017 by 5:00 PM, by the close of business, the agreement will automatically terminate. Some of the exhibits have been amended. Legal descriptions have been incorporated (Exhibits E and F), and Exhibit J which was the timeline has been deleted. Amera has agreed with the amendment and all the conditions mentioned above. In addition Amera has committed to update staff on a monthly basis on progress towards completing the site plan and getting commitments from the appropriate entities. CRA Attorney Sue Delegal reviewed and approved the amendment. If the CRA Board approves the amendment, it will appear before the City Commission on December 7, 2016, for their vote. Members of the Board briefly discussed the amendment. ACTION: Board Member Kasten moved, seconded by Board Member Vasquez, to approve the Amendment to the Tri-Party Development Agreement. The motion was approved unanimously (5-0). 4. Other Business None.
