Update on projects and financing
CWAIC Executive Director Mike Kawleski updated the Committee on his activities since being hired. He has been working on building relationships for the Innovation Center and the Business Park. He showed the Committee a copy of the cover story that will be appearing in the September issue of the Wisconsin Agriculturist. He is working on publicizing current donors. Fundraising has been slow, but he has been building the base. CWAIC is also working on setting up some Advisory Councils in the areas of Education and Research and Development. They will lend credibility to the project and give the people/organizations that will be using the building the opportunity to give direction on their needs. CWAIC made a presentation to the County Board shortly after Mike was hired to give them an update on the project. Mike and Cindy Cardinal also reported on the Open House held at the CWAIC office and a meeting with EDA Regional Director, Jack Price. The meeting with Jack Price went well. He was given updates and timelines and required documents were discussed. He stated that New Market Tax Credits would not be able to be used for a match on this project. Deputy Clerk Cardinal reported that the bond sale is complete and funds have been deposited in the City’s bank account. MSA is working on bidding the infrastructure project with the Council to award bids in September.
Donation of TID 4 funds in the amount of $250,000 to CWAIC upon appropriation and receipt from the City of Owen
A Zukowski/Sybers motion and subsequent vote approved a donation in the amount of $250,000 to be given to CWAIC for engineering/design fees upon appropriation and receipt from the City of Owen, with the money to be paid as pay requests from the Samuels Group are submitted.
Agreement for Sale of Lots and Developers Agreement
The Committee discussed the fact that protections for the City need to be part of these documents. Committee members would like to see requirements for business plans, feasibility studies, and financials/credit checks as part of these documents. The documents also need to contain language as to the scope of proposed projects and timelines for completion. A Laube/Lulloff motion and subsequent vote approved to table approval of these agreements until the next meeting. It was also requested that this be added to a City Council agenda for discussion.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
Adjourn
A Zukowski/Wilkens motion and subsequent vote approved to adjourn the 8/18/10 open session meeting at 6:54 p.m.
