Staff tells the TIRZ #1 board it recommends a 20-year extension; board funds $30,000 of a housing study
Andrew Freeman told the board staff recommended extending the zone's 30-year term by 20 years and wanted a City Council decision that year; asked what the board's role would be, he said it was to discuss and give feedback. At the same meeting the board voted unanimously to contribute $30,000 (staff had suggested $40,000) to a City housing study estimated at $100,000-$120,000, and approved a $50,000 streetscape grant for The Pergola Shop/Stater Construction, LLC at 701 S.E. 10th.[1]

Staff said the housing study would cost an estimated $100,000-$120,000, shared by the City, TIRZ #1, the AEDC and the Realtors' association. Board members Joseph Peterson and Gus Trujillo said $40,000 was too much for TIRZ #1; Peterson moved to contribute $30,000, Kelly seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. In May 2022 Freeman reported the completed study had been presented to the council. [1][3]

Freeman described the 701 S.E. 10th streetscape project as costing $125,000 overall; a motion by Leon Church seconded by Gus Trujillo to approve a $50,000 streetscape grant passed unanimously. In August 2022 the 2022-23 budget added the $50,000 back because the project was no longer moving forward, and in March 2024 the board formally cancelled the grant. [1][4][5]
