 We'll call it to order, and we will do the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you so much. Given the agenda today, do we have any potential conflicts of interest? Okay, hearing none. Yes, I believe yes. David. I will not be voting or participating on the item 3.1. Item 3.1, then let's reverse the order of the agenda so that David can use himself. We will take item 3.2. Chair, if I can interject, I think David, you can participate. You just can't vote on it. You'd have to abstain. Oh, okay. Clarification came from the city attorney. No, that clarification came from some previous discussion about this. All right, that wasn't my understanding, but we'll deal with it. Okay, I also see guests here. I see Heather Cleveland and Jason LeBouvy and Ryan Zinkel and Bob Moeller, and Amy Horst of the, good morning, Amy, of the authority has also joined us. Thank you so much. The chair will entertain a motion to approve the minutes from the December 2nd meeting. Salute by Soxie, seconded by Horst. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. Thank you so much. Discussion and possible action on 3.2. A historic preservation and facade grant application by Heather Cleveland for 1117 North A Street, which is the former Sucia News building. Chad, how about you kick in this one off, please? Sure. So Heather is on the line with us. I don't know if there's anybody on from Legacy Architecture, but Heather is proposing to work with Legacy Architecture to do a facade renovation study. She has recently or is closing very soon on the former Sucia News building on A Street. This is one of those projects we talked about at our last meeting that we are also working with her on an upper floor rehab project for that property as well. So staff is recommending approval of this. We have the funds, and this is in our target area. Great. Okay. What is that going to be used for? This will be used to, this $5,000 will be used to do research and develop drawings on a historic renovation of that building. What is the refurposing of the building? What's going to go on in the first floor? Heather will have to answer that. Heather, why don't, yeah, Heather, why don't you give us a little update about what you're planning to do here? It's a business called Green Bicycle Company. So the first floor space will be retail. And what do Green Bicycles do? Green Bicycle Company, the retail space. It'll sell commuter bicycle gear and then other sustainability type supplies like kombucha making kits, sourdough making kits and other household goods, along with books and magazines. Thank you. And if the upstairs is to be refurbished, I am assuming it will be residential? That's correct. Okay. Anybody on the authority have any questions? No, I would make a motion to approve the grant. Okay. Amy made the motion. Is there a second? Second, James. Second from James. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. All right. Aye. Motion carries. Your votes aye. Motion carries. Thank you. Perfect. Good luck, Heather. We appreciate your willingness to step up to the plate and help with refurbishing a street. Thank you. You're welcome. It'll be great. Can I excuse myself from the meeting? You may. Okay, great. Thank you, everybody. You're welcome. Okay. Discussion and possible action on the assumption of the ground leaf between the molar development company and grateful properties LLC. Chad, take this one off. So, Chair, I believe City Attorney Adams has joined us. I don't know if Dave Gass is still on. I can't see. So, we do have a quorum if he wants to sign off or if we want to confirm with Chuck whether Dave can listen in, even though it's being represented by somebody in his office. Chuck, I don't know if you want to answer that. Is there a conflict of it? I'll just sign off. Okay. Thank you, Dave. I can just sign off. Yeah, that'll make it easier. All right. Have a good day, everybody. Thank you. Merry Christmas. You too. So, this is the molar shanty that's on the west side of the golf course on South Pier. The Bob molar built the shanty, as I understand it. And there's a number of representatives from these different entities. I can probably explain this a little bit better than me. But Bob is selling the property to, I believe, the grateful properties LLC. And this assignment of an assumption of ground lease would be to transfer the ground lease underneath that building to the new owner. And I'm guessing they're trying to close before the end of the year. So, that's about what I know. I would ask you to get any other information from the people on the phone. Okay. We have both Ryan Zinkel, who I'm assuming is the attorney of record. And Jason LaBouvie, who is the potential new property lease. Or, okay, Ryan, if you'd like to start. Yeah, I mean, I think Chad summarized it pretty well. Bob bought the initial ground lease, an 85-year lease back in 2007. And he's looking to assign the ground lease, the remaining term of that lease to Mr. LaBouvie, who's set up an LLC to hold title, hold the remaining term of the ground lease. Okay. Mr. LaBouvie, if you would like to add your intentions on that property, what you're planning to do? Yeah, good morning. I'm purchasing the property as an investment. The upstairs condo I'm planning to use as a Airbnb rental property. And then the downstairs, I've actually formed another LLC called Harbor Cafe LLC. My intentions are to open a small kind of light breakfast, lunch, dinner, cafe. I'm actually realistically thinking in the spring of 2022, just for a number of reasons. I want to do some buildouts, build a small deck so people can sit outside, build a deli counter, and then get in compliance. And there's a couple of plumbing things that would need to be done. And then also, as everyone knows, the fall is here. I shut down until the end of 2021. So with that and then my day job, I think realistically, I'm hoping for 2022. So that's really my intent with that property is to kind of make a nice family place to go and just kind of enjoy a light lunch or breakfast outside on the south pier. Does anyone on the authority have questions for either of these two men? I move to approve. Is there a second? Amy, seconded. I have a question for Jason. Are you intending to run the cafe or will you have someone else running? I'm kind of looking for a manager. I've got a guy in mind. But yeah, it's something I do. I do have a full-time employment. And so I, and then, yeah, it's going to kind of be a side business that I'll be a kind of a silent owner with a general manager. Okay, thank you. My ears did open up when you said you want to add a deck. If that is your intent that has to come back to this authority, I believe. And I'm aware, yeah, I've kind of got the vision just kind of waiting to get any plans drawn up. And that's why I didn't want to try to rush it by the spring of 2021. I think, you know, just with the current climate, you know, with the COVID and everything in restaurants. So I thought just taking my time and trying to get the city to, you know, walk along with me through it. So, All right, that's happening. Any recommendations for this? Yes. If I can just make a comment that I would encourage you, Jason, to work with the city finance department if you're going to run it as an Airbnb to make sure you're in compliance with paying room tax. Okay. Any other questions of the authority? There's a motion on the floor. Hearing none. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Chair votes aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Okay. Roberta, can I make a comment or ask a question? Yes, you may, Ryan. So I wanted to just be clear because when I looked at the agenda, there was an attachment on the agenda of the memorandum of the assignment and assumption of the lease. I had prepared and sent three documents on Thursday in two separate emails. So I just want to confirm that the authority is going to be signing the assignment and assumption, the memorandum of the assumption, because that's the document that will record and register a deed's office. And the original brown lease that Mr. Mohler has, the original brown lease never had a recorded memorandum and the title company in this transaction requiring us to have it. So that's why I forwarded all three of those documents. Chuck, did you get all that? Yeah, there's only the one document on the agenda. That's the only thing that was published and so that's the only thing you can act on. So what do we have to do? Have those other two documents presented as a subsequent meeting? Yeah, and notice it. Yeah, it's not in the notice for this meeting, so you can't act on it today. I am assuming that you want this transfer to occur in this calendar year? Let me ask a technical question. Isn't it one and the same? Isn't this document one and the same? No, what was noted on the agenda was simply the memorandum of assignment and assumption of interest in the brown lease. I know, but the second document does what technically, please? Well, it sounds like there's two other documents and one of them is a memorandum of a prior lease and another one of them is a sound like a more detailed assignment and assumption of interest. That's right. So the prior memorandum is really just putting in the public record what you already did back in 2007 in the original lease. There was just nothing that was recorded in the title. So what can happen is I can review the memorandum. I haven't seen it, but I can review that previous memorandum. That may not require RDA approval, but the other document definitely requires RDA approval and if it's not noticed on the agenda, even if it kind of goes with the same thing, you can't act on it today and you'd have to have a special meeting. Okay. What I'm hearing is that we will have to have a special meeting. I am also understanding the timely urgency of this. So among all of those parties, Mr. Adams, Mr. Zinkel and Mr. Peleshek, if you could figure out what the authority needs to do and then make sure we have a quorum to call a special meeting. I guess what I would ask is, Ryan, Mr. Zinkel, if you could forward that email again, I'm guessing I only got one email with attachments. So I don't know if it, whatever. If you can forward that email that has the right attachments to it to Chuck and I, and then I guess for the authority members, I would ask, do you have availability on Friday morning at the same time? It'll take five minutes from 7.45 to 7.50. We can post an agenda today and get the proper stuff and get it wrapped up this week. We are talking Friday the 18th at 7.45. Yes. That works for me. Does it work for everybody else on the call? Okay. All right. We've got at least four. Thank you. All right. Okay. We will hold a special meeting on Friday the 18th to deal with the technical issue of the transfer of the ground fleet to Mr. Labudin. Hearing no other business. Chair, we'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Moved by Soxi. Are there any objections? See you Friday. We are adjourned and we'll see you Friday. Thank you.
