Fiscal Note
This resolution authorizes the selection of a developer and negotiations toward an agreement to develop the private element of Block 88 above the publicly-owned below-ground and above ground parking facilities. A development agreement will also include compensation for the air rights and the above-ground Podium structure consisting of ground floor retail space and two floors of above ground parking. A total of $50.4 million has been appropriated from Parking Utility Reserves ($23.4 million), TID 25 incremental revenues ($24 million), City general obligation borrowing ($2.3 million), and remaining Federal TIGER grant funds ($0.7 million).
