Executive Director Warnke said the only change we talked about between the tentative budget and the final budget is the appropriation of $30,000 to start the façade grant program. This is just the appropriation. In the past we put together an application, which we will find. We will talk to the agency more specifically about how we want to handle the application process. Chairman Fridal asked if we will advertise that there is a façade grant available. Board Member Rohde said we need to be careful because last time we were not focused on how we wanted to standardize that look. We need to put the money in there and start accumulating, but we need to standardize what we want those facades to look like. Executive Director Warnke said once the Board appropriates the money, we need to figure out how we are going to administer the program. Board Member Vance said we need to hold a meeting to get ideas and figure out which way we want to go with it. Executive Director Warnke said the Historical Preservation Commission could be a part of this process. A lot of the buildings on Main Street have some historic value. There is thought of standardizing the look of the buildings, but for it to be architecturally accurate, we have to harken back to the era the building was constructed. We need to observe and respect the architecture that is associated with that era. The Evans, Grover, and Beins building is an example of that. They made some nice improvements, but some were incompatible with the original architecture. As Board Member Vance suggested, we need to get everyone together and spend some time on this. It could take several meetings to figure out how we want to proceed. Board Member Vance said it would be good to see how other cities have handled these types of things so we are not recreating the wheel. Executive Director Warnke agreed and said most successful programs have an architect that the agency pays to look at individual buildings, come up with a sketch and a proposed budget. We have talked to architects in the past about doing that. We need some professional expertise to help guide the process on a building-by-building basis.

Motion by Board Member Rohde to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Board Member Holmgren. Roll Call Vote: Board Member Holmgren – aye, Board Member Rohde – aye, Board Member Vance – aye. Motion approved.

b. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. RDA No. 18-06 adopting amendments to the Annual Budget entitled “The Redevelopment Agency of Tremonton City Annual Implementation Budget 2017-2018 for Tremonton West Liberty Foods EDA 172 and Fund 71 RDA District #2 – Downtown for the period commencing July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2018

Executive Director Warnke drew their attention to an amendment, which relates to the 480 West road that the RDA put in. This is a good example of the City making a financial contribution to the RDA and allowing them to do a project. That road is in, but there was a little bit of a change order that occurred. We propose amending the budget to address that change. We do not know exactly how much that is going to be. It specifically relates to the Top Lube. Owner Devin King made some improvements to the parking lot at the same time we were making improvements to ours, which changed the elevation of his parking lot and made it different than what we designed the road to be. The drive approach into his building was too steep. So instead of pointing fingers the RDA changed the approach. We took the sidewalk and did a gentle slope down and were able to lower it and split the outcome.

Motion by Board Member Holmgren to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Board Member Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Board Member Holmgren – aye, Board Member Rohde – aye, Board Member Vance – aye. Motion approved.

5. Adjournment

Motion by Board Member Holmgren to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Board Member Vance. Vote: Board Member Holmgren – aye, Board Member Rohde – aye, Board Member Vance – aye. Motion approved.
