1. Budget Request (former Salvation Army Building)
Mr. Hurst presented Budget Request (for Salvation Army Building). This budget
request is for $150,000 from the River West TIF district, to cover the cost of roof
repair and replacement at the former Salvation Army building. The City has
received bids for the work and unfortunately, the cost exceeds the funds already
approved. Due to the age and construction materials that were previously used,
patches are no longer feasible. The entire upper roof portion must be replaced.
Once completed, the new roof will hold a 20-year warranty. The boiler will be fixed
soon, and the new roof will be completed in the spring. Commission approval is
requested.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Warner, seconded by Secretary Phillips, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Budget Request (former
Salvation Army Building) submitted on Thursday, November 23, 2020.

Mr. Buckenmeyer presented Fifth Amendment to Real Estate Purchase
Agreement (410 W Wayne Street). This is the former Gates Service Center sold
to Barehands Brewery August 2016. Due to COVID, progress was stalled. We
ask the Commission to extend their commitment deadline to March 21, 2021.
Commission approval is requested.
Upon a motion by Secretary Phillips, seconded by Commissioner Warner, the
