ITEM NO. 4—Consider and act upon issues surrounding the provision of WEDC assistance toward infrastructure improvements to be made by Taylor and Son Properties, LLC benefiting property located at 107 N. Jackson Avenue. WEDC—Minutes June 12, 2018 Page 3 of 4 As directed by the Board in the May 16th Board Meeting, staff approached Taylor & Son to encourage the maximum amount of parking spaces be developed at the 1,290 square foot remodel taking place by Taylor at their new 107 Jackson Street acquisition. Staff was able to confirm that with WEDC assistance, Taylor will provide seven parking spaces behind the building. Using the rationale that a minimum of three spaces contemplated by Taylor could be constructed and meet reasonable parking requirements, staff proposed that the WEDC fund 50% of the cost associated with maximizing the parking on the lot which would add four additional spaces. The thought is that the WEDC/downtown business district and Taylor are both benefitting from the additional parking and the WEDC shares in the cost. Taylor indicated that the additional 4 spaces will cost $6,400 with staff proposing to fund $3,200 for reimbursement of expenses associated with the qualified infrastructure. Staff recommended that the WEDC Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to enter into a Performance Agreement with Taylor and Son Properties, LLC to provide up to $3,200 in reimbursements for qualified infrastructure assistance. MOTION: A motion was made by Bryan Brokaw and seconded by John Yeager to authorize the Executive Director to enter into a Performance Agreement with Taylor and Son Properties, LLC to provide up to $3,200 in reimbursements for qualified infrastructure assistance.
