TCAAP/RICE CREEK COMMONS UPDATE <br /> City Administrator Jagoe stated the preliminary development agreement between the JDA and <br /> Alatus for the site's main parcel was set to expire on June 30, 2025. The Rice Creek Commons <br /> Joint Development Authority (JDA)met on June 25 to consider Alatus' request for an extension <br /> to the preliminary development agreement. After hearing testimony from Alatus and a lengthy <br /> discussion, the JDA took no action regarding the extension request and the agreement terminated <br /> by its own terms on June 30, 2025. <br /> On July 7, the JDA held a work session and staff provided an overview of the 2016 and 2023 <br /> solicitation processes for Rice Creek Commons. From this discussion, Commissioners directed <br /> project staff to research potential alternative scenarios for a developer solicitation based on those <br /> previous Rice Creek Commons solicitations and taking into consideration current market <br /> conditions. Staff will bring information back to the JDA at their August 4 JDA meeting. <br /> Neither of the Advisory Committees have met since the last Council meeting. <br />
