Thank you very much and Now we will do A discussion and action on the request from angler's avenue to use the rda owned land adjacent to their Building for july 2nd and july 3rd The information was in your packet Do we have any questions chad? Do you want to add anything? I do so the Anglers folks are not in the chambers at the time, but I did speak with them This is a standard request to use the property as part of the fourth Fourth of july celebration except this year. It's july 2nd and july 3rd What I will say though is they do not have an extension of premise for their liquor license to go on to this property So the recommendation is a little modified to approve the request Subject to them getting the appropriate other city approvals in order to use the land They do you know if that's in process chad? I don't think it's going to happen because they're It sounds like there would need to be a special meeting of the licensing hearings and public safety And a special meeting of the common council to get it approved because it is not on tonight's agenda Is that fair? Yeah, yeah, so Basically, it's unlikely they'll be able to serve alcohol your permission will allow them to serve food and that kind of thing And there may be ways around it, but they're just going to have to be a little more creative than than they had to be in the past They won't be able to actually have a beer tent okay all right we then will Vote on granting the extension for food service and the pitching of a tent on RDA land for two days I'm assuming that we have a beginning and an end for the tent comes down, etc Yeah, I would believe it would be all down by the monday afterwards. I'm not too worried about that Okay All right, any further discussion Hearing none chair will entertain a motion Sorry, sir Russian Harrison moved Is there a second Second Oh in seconds. Thank you very much gentlemen any further discussion Hearing none all those Just to confirm it's be it's the motion is to grant it subject to the other city approvals Right, okay I I have a question They can still use it for food if we grant the authority Yes Okay, so that gave me a thumbs up Okay So we can grant for the use of food and serving liquor is subject to other Other granting That is correct. All right All right, all those in favor say aye Aye Aye Opposed Chair votes aye motion carries And as I'm sitting here looking at james conway in his little rectangle Let's let's pause james is the james conway.

Would you like to? Uh, give us a little discussion here Yes, so my husband adam disambria and I purchased the building in november of 2020 And it was built in 1887. We've done significant amount amount of um demolition and restoration work on the interior of the building and we're looking for support on um remediation of the exterior of the building to bring it back to its historic um Look and then also to restore it to preserve it um into the future So revert if if I may add chair, so we funded a facade uh historic preservation facade uh project on this uh, heather and her team worked with jennifer lurky um, there was a number of revisions of the plan and got to something that was feasible to build um and the uh Jennifer has consented to the proposal that's before you guys today So the request the project is 159 000 total The request is for 75 000 We have the latitude to go anywhere between zero and 100 000 we have the budget to do it actually we have some Older money frankly that needs to be sold I mean it needs to be used so um the the recommendation from staff would be to fund this at 75 000 I think heather and her team have done a very good job of getting to a design that works for everybody and it will be a nice addition to the east street corridor When when heather talked about uh having done some um interior construction one of one of our things is that You can't have started the project and then come back for money, but this is exterior versus interior That's correct Okay, okay, and um The the project will begin as soon as we Bless it and we'll take place yet this summer or That's correct time frame Mine um the next step is to go to the architecture review board and then it'll begin Perfect. Thank you heather Okay, uh anybody have any other questions of heather or is the staff Yeah, I just have one additional added it should be noted that these are five year forgivable loans So we will work with the attorney's office to draft the paperwork And then it's if she holds a property for five years. It's fully satisfied and she pays nothing Okay, so this is really a grant presuming she will remain in that facility for five years That's correct Okay And I can I'll make a motion to approve the grant 75,000.

So thank you very much Okay, uh item 3.3 discussion and possible action on a request from shabuigan visual artists to use the rda owned land on south pier to establish an art venue from july 1st through september 30th and Members this was the item that was amended to This was the item that was put on the agenda that caused our agenda to be amended Because this came in just just just after the deadline for the original So, um chag, why don't you start us off and we have paula from shabuigan visual artists online? So, um, give us a little background chag Sure. So, um Paula contacted me a couple weeks ago about their interest in setting up what she's calling as an art venue kind of a pop-up artist Tent thing if you will on the south pier district for the summer months particularly july 1st through september 30th. So As you can see from the letter there'll be a There'll be a number of tents that would just pop up throughout that time frame an average of five to six tents that will be selling arts that are In different paintings and things that the shabuigan visual artists group has so You know, I think giving what I looked at this is is kind of fitting into our pop-up shop thing But more outside and that it brings some more activity to the south pier District and who knows maybe some of these people if they're successful will look at opening a storefront in the future So staff was recommending approval of it to give it a try subject to a insurance policy listing us as an additional insured Hold harmless agreement and a $50 charge But um other than that. I think it it's just another reason for people to go to the south pier district Okay, paula Do you have something to add? I don't chat did a very nice job. I appreciate it We've been working for months on getting together stuff that we think that will interest Visitors that will be down here for all the different activities And um, I think this will be a boon to the businesses even down at south pier and we would love to grow this district to have more activity and have more retail shopping Perfect I personally have been to the sva final fridays when they were being held pre-covid And they were always delightful and Uh showed a myriad of talent within our community. So we appreciate what the sda does Um, I had earlier conversation with uh, Amy Horst and said Amy who is on this committee But was unable to be here. I said Amy. What do you think about this? And she was very excited So, um, we appreciate what the sda is trying to do um Anybody else have any questions of paula or of staff?
