1. Approval of Minutes ~3:05 p.m. 5min.

2. Resolution: Commercial Development Loan Program Funding Allocations ~3:10 p.m. 15min.
The Board will receive a briefing about and will consider adopting a resolution that would fund allocations submitted for a competitive Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Commercial Development Loan Program (CDLP). Nearly $10 million was made available through the CDLP NOFA to incentivize the development of commercial and mixed-use projects within CRA Project Areas. CRA staff received seven eligible applications with $9,030,501 in requests.
3. Resolution: HomeInn Rio Grande Contract Update ~3:25 p.m. 20min.
The Board will receive a briefing about and consider adopting a resolution that would approve the term sheet for an amended lease with HomeInn Rio Grande, LLC, at 428 West 300 South. For the past 16 years, the property has been leased at no cost for the operation of an income-targeted, transitional, shared housing facility. The proposed amendment includes updating the tenant to a new non-profit organization, new lease extensions, altering the room rent cap, shifting responsibility for property insurance to the CRA, adjusting the lease so the tenant will begin paying monthly rent, clarifying ongoing maintenance responsibilities, and establishing the CRA as the entity responsible for major building components.

The Board will receive a briefing on Phase 1 of the Rio Grande District public improvements. The Rio Grande District is a two-block area located on the western edge of Downtown, bordered by 200 South to 400 South and 500 West to 600 West. The briefing will include the CRA's approach to construction and maintenance financing, management, and parking strategies.

The developer's proposal requests a discounted land sale at the Parry Block to support the creation of homeownership opportunities, affordable housing, and artist space.
