" Funds are subject to the Cit er's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller,
then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
PURPOSE OF RE UEST: Budget request to provide funds for improvements of RDC owned properties
SPECIFICS: The RDC is the owner of several buildings within the River West TIF which have active leases.
Those buildings include the Leighton Building, Union Station, and the Main/Wayne Parking Garage. The
requested budget of $50k would be to provide improvements to those buildings over the course of 2026
to ensure the leased spaces are safe and secure. These funds are needed for the RDC to meet its
obligations as a lessor in those agreements as well as enhancing local public improvements. All funds
would be expended in RDC-owned buildings with active tenants. Improvements will include such items as
improved ADA accessibility and restroom facilities.
Staff recommends approval.
