C. Community Reinvestment Agency Business - the CRA Board of Directors will receive information and/or hold discussions and/or take action on:
1. Election of Chair and Vice Chair 2:05pm, 15 min.
The Board will take a straw poll to nominate the Board Chair (a one-year term) and Vice Chair (a one-year term). The process includes expressions of interest from Board Members, nominations for each position, and then voting each for the Chair and Vice Chair positions.
2. Board Appointment: Reinvestment Advisory Committee - Ian Joyce 2:20pm, 5 min.
The Board will interview Ian Joyce, resident of District 7, prior to considering appointment to the Reinvestment Advisory Committee for a term ending January 21, 2030.
3. Resolution: Accessory Dwelling Unit Financing Program Term Sheet Modifications 2:25, 20 min.
The Board will receive a briefing about and will consider adopting a resolution approving modifications to the term sheet for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Financing Program with the Community Development Corporation of Utah (CDCU). The request would remove two program terms: CDCU's right of first refusal on all borrower homes and partial loan forgiveness for owners.
4. Informational: USA Climbing at Rio Grande District - Salt Lake Mattress Company Building 2:45pm, 30 min.
The Board will receive a briefing and consider options for incorporating the Salt Lake Mattress Company building into the USA Climbing project. While the Board previously approved terms for the disposition of CRA-owned property for USA Climbing's headquarters and national training center, further evaluation found the Mattress Building would require additional structural reinforcement, increasing project costs to
$7.3 million. USA Climbing cannot absorb costs beyond the $6 million provided by the CRA. As an alternative, USA Climbing proposed reconstructing the building using concrete masonry block clad with the historic brick, which would require an additional
$250,000. The Board will discuss the $1.3 million funding gap, the historic brick alternative, and other options.
5. Straw Poll: City Creek Daylighting Design Plan 3:15pm, 20 min.
