Balance Sheet Comparison of FY2015 Budget vs Actual Results Statement of Project Expenditures Schedule of February, 2015 Expenditures

The Authority received $15,400 in reimbursements from businesses and organizations that commissioned ice sculptures for the ValentICE event. The funds will be used to pay the ice sculpture artists. Trend data for Local Tax Increment FY2015 Administration expenditures are improving. Several months ago trends were predicting a year-end negative variance in the amount of $250,000. As of February 28, the estimated negative variance will be $100,000. Kris Larson, Mary Sierawski, and I will continue to review costs, work with the City to adjust charges for services, and consider options to isolate project administration costs from general administration costs. The Authority continues to have sufficient cash to support budgeted expenditures. Please contact me at 616-456-4514 or [email protected] if you have any questions. Attachments

Note 1: This line is the accumulated amounts of the actuarially determined Annual Required Contributions (ARC) for pre-65 year old retiree health insurance in excess of the "pay as you go" charges disbursed from the Retiree Health Insurance Fund plus interest on the unpaid portion of the prior year liability. The trust fund is currently over-funded which is why the account has a negative balance. ddastmts-feb15.xls jmw 0305201

Kristopher Larson, AICP Downtown Development Authority Executive Director

FROM:

Mark A. De Clercq, P.E., City Engineer

SUBJECT:

Reconstruction of State Street from Jefferson Avenue to Lafayette Avenue and Reconstruction of Bostwick Avenue from Lyon Street to Crescent Street

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered this project at its February 11, 2015 meeting (DDA estimated share of $675,000). Certain concerns were expressed by DDA board members and a request was made that City staff review alternatives to the proposed design. The concerns focused on State Street. The original proposed reconstruction section for State Street included parking on the north side, bike lanes on both sides of the street and two 12’ travel lanes. The street currently is asphalt and would have been reconstructed with hot mix asphalt, bicycle lanes, landscaping and other features. At the DDA’s request, staff has reviewed requested alternatives and discussed possible changes with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Based on input from the DDA, discussion with MDOT, and consultation with DGRI staff, the proposed design for State Street was revised to feature the following elements: •

Porous pavement in the parking lane on the north side.



Concrete bike lanes on both sides of the street.



Brick 12’ travel lanes.



All other features including low impact design for stormwater in the parkway, historic street lighting, telecommunication improvements, salvaging and reuse of historic medina stone curb, streetscape enhancements including new street trees, new water main, storm sewers and sanitary sewers, and American Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk and ramp improvements in the project would remain the same.

A color rendering of the proposed State Street portion of the project is attached.

It should be noted that the brick section will not carry through the Jefferson Avenue/State Street or the Lafayette Avenue/State Street intersections as these intersections were reconstructed in the last few years. Also, it should be noted that the proposed materials and configuration limits any future changes to the roadway geometry. The brick and porous pavement as proposed are not eligible for the Surface Transportation Program – Urban grant. It is recommended that the additional cost for the brick pavement and concrete bike lanes estimated at $261,000 be funded by the DDA and the cost of the porous pavement under the parking lane be funded by the City's Vital Streets Fund. The Bostwick portion of the project would remain as previously presented. The project was anticipated to be bid by MDOT on March 6, 2015. The City has requested that the project be withdrawn from that bid letting. Reconstruction of both streets was initially scheduled to be completed yet this year. The new schedule for bidding and award of the project makes it is unlikely that both streets will be completed this year because of the amount of work and the constraints to complete the work on Bostwick Avenue during the Grand Rapids Community College summer session. The revised engineer’s estimate is $1,543,530. The revised estimated total expenditures required for this project equal a not to exceed amount of $ 2,085,340, which includes the construction contract, traffic safety and street lighting force account work, testing/permits, engineering/inspection/administration, and an approximate twelve percent allowance for local contingencies and ten percent allowance for MDOT contingencies. This project is being financed by a combination of MDOT grant funds, Sewer System Fund, Water System Fund, Vital Streets Capital Fund and the DDA. The DDA’s share of costs is for a portion of the local and non-participating project cost. The work includes streetscape enhancements including new street trees, low impact design for stormwater control, the recommended brick and concrete pavement on State Street, brickscape improvements, telecommunications improvements in both State Street and Bostwick Avenue, and new historic lighting in State Street. It is recommended that the DDA approve its revised share of costs in the amount of $936,000, contingent upon approval of the revised project scope by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Grand Rapids Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) and approval of the final project bid package by the MDOT. If the DDA approves its share of costs and the City receives SHPO, HPC and MDOT approval, the project will be bid at the earliest possible date at which time the City Commission will be requested to approve an agreement with MDOT and authorize the total expenditures for the project.

Mr. Kristopher Larson Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc. 29 Pearl, N.W., Suite 1 Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 Re: Venue Tower Project Adjacent to the BOB

Dear Kris: I am writing on behalf of Venue Tower Development Co., LLC ("Venue Tower") to request that the Grand Rapids Downtown Development Authority provide tax increment financing support for its proposed project adjacent to the BOB at 33 Ottawa Ave., N.W. This exciting new project involves the construction of a new 14-story tower (114,374 sf) that will house approximately 90 market rate apartments (studios, one and two-bedroom units) and associated resident amenities such as a fitness facility, club room, and common space. This project is expected to generate approximately 2-5 full-time jobs with estimated wages ranging from $8.15 to $1 5/hour. The total capital investment is estimated at $22 million. Venue Tower has partnered with 20 Monroe Building Company, which is constructing a flex space venue adjacent to the proposed tower. A portion of the venue will extend beneath the proposed residential tower. Venue Tower hereby requests 75% of available tax increment revenue from the project for a period of 15 years for reimbursement of the items listed in the attachment, which are public infrastructure items and costs that are necessary to comply with the requirements of the Michigan Construction Code to satisfy the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This project has several reasons that warrant the capture of 75% of the tax increment revenue for a 15-year period. The project will include a pedestrian walkway between the tower and the parking garage on Ottawa Avenue at a cost of nearly $1 million. In addition, Venue Tower is willing to work with the DDA to allocate three of the residential units for reduced rent, to be made available to lower income tenants.
