Staff outlined the properties that needed to be disposed of.
A motion was made by T. Weber and seconded by M. Schueller to adopt Resolution No. 588 authorizing staff to dispose of 1122 Shawano Avenue, 507 Third Street, and 225 South Ashland Avenue as part of the New Homes In Your Neighborhood and CDBG Impact Area programs. Motion carried.
2. Update and action on Tank Redevelopment and Disposition Plan.
K. Odegaard gave a brief update on the Tank Redevelopment and Disposition Plan. She stated that the RFP for the project has been sent out and there was an informational meeting held for all interested parties. Four different entities attended. The RFP is due back on April 20, 2007.
3. Adopt Resolution No. 589 authorizing purchase of 727 N. Webster using 2006 Home allocations.
C. Renier-Wigg stated that this is the last property left on the block that houses Olde North Crossing and the fire station. This property was owner occupied. The owner passed away and it is now vacant and available for purchase. Staff recommended using 2006 Home allocation, which was originally meant for the Walnut and Webster project, for the purchase of this property. Staff would then work with NeighborWorks and they would use their CHDO allocation to move this property to the 1100 block of Day Street. Property is assessed at $70,700 with an equalized value of $75,500. The property is in very good shape with original elements still in tact inside the home. The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A motion was made by D. Dallich and seconded by T. Weber to adopt Resolution No. 589 authorizing purchase of 727 N. Webster Avenue using 2006 Home allocations. Motion carried.
4. Review rehab specifications for 251-253 N. Baird.
K. King gave a history of the purchase of the property. This property was purchased using neighborhood enhancement funds and will be removed at the time that the trail along the East River is constructed. This could be as long as 10 years. Staff would like to do repairs to the property in order for it to be rented out. The rents collected would then be placed back in the Neighborhood Enhancement Fund. K. King handed out a list of estimates for rehab from three contractors.
A motion was made by D. Dallich and seconded by T. Weber to award the contract to the Job Jar Guy with a total project cost not to exceed $14,000, with a review of flooring materials for upgrade. Motion carried.
5. Adopt Resolution No. 590 authorizing the purchase of 1520 Day Street using, in part, commercial enhancement funds.
C. Renier-Wigg stated that this is a Department of Public Works (DPW) project, which would close off a portion of Day Street that comes together with the intersection of University and Elizabeth. There is a warehouse property presently owned by Upright Services located at 1520 Day Street. Currently this property accesses Day Street and with the closing off of this area would have to start to access Harvey Street, which is a residential neighborhood, in order to get out to University Avenue. DPW would like to see this property purchased so the access onto Harvey Street could be eliminated. This building could be utilized by DPW or the Police Department for storage usage. Currently there is $145,000 available in Commercial Enhancement Funds. The total project cost ranges from $218,000-$235,000, which leaves a balance of money that would need to be obtained from a different City funding source. Total project costs equaled the amount to purchase the property plus what potential relocation benefits would be if the property were condemned. We are not condemning the property at this time because it would jeopardize the funding that was received for this project. The question is whether or not $145,000 of Commercial Enhancement Funds should be used to go towards the purchase of this property. D. Dallich stated that he could see in the long term how obtaining this property now would be a good idea for the City.
A motion was made by D. Dallich and seconded by T. Weber to adopt Resolution No. 590 authorizing purchase of 1520 Day Street using $145,000 of Commercial Enhancement Funds contingent on additional funding be allocated by the City of Green Bay. Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m.
