Administrative Director’s Report Director Mitchell stated the Energy Advisory Committee met on Thursday, April 17 where the new members were onboarded. She indicated the Energy Advisory Committee would meet next on Friday, May 16. Development Director’s Report Director Jagoe provided the JDA with an update from the JDA Advisory Committee. She noted this group met on Wednesday, April 9 where the phasing plan for mass grading was discussed along with the timing of the spine road construction. She indicated the JDA Advisory Committee was scheduled to meet again on Wednesday, April 23 where phasing, housing and amendments to the TRC would be discussed, however there was a scheduling conflict with JDA members. She indicated this could have still been held between the Alatus team and staff members. She commented Alatus provided some information on but not to the level of detail needed to address the questions that were raised during the April 9 JDA Advisory Committee meeting. For this reason, the meeting scheduled for April 23 was postponed to Wednesday, May 7 and was subject to cancellation pending receipt of the information requested from Alatus. Commissioner Monson stated it was disappointing Alatus had not provided staff with the requested information on April 23. It was her hope Alatus could provide this information in order for the May 7 meeting to go forward. Director Mitchell stated the prevailing wage information was one of the topics Alatus has not addressed, along with the sustainability requirements. Commissioner Weber questioned when the prevailing wage topic has brought to Alatus. Director Mitchell explained this was in the Term Sheet that was agreed to in December of 2023. Commissioner Monson commented on how Alatus was stating they could not meet the sustainability guidelines, but indicated this could not be done wholesale, but rather Alatus would have to prove why the guidelines could not be met. It was her hope that Alatus could come to the meet on Wednesday with the requested information. Commissioner Updates Commissioner McGuire indicated she was receiving positive comments regarding the groundbreaking that occurred on Outlot A and they were excited to see the remainder of the project moving forward. Commissioner Weber thanked Mayor Grant for his comments at the recent groundbreaking ceremony.
