REGULAR MEETING October 26, 2015 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />technology. Schools are upgrading their computers for like 10 years. This may be an opportunity <br />to help support the schools through our tax abatement. I will be in contact with you real soon <br />about that one. <br /> <br />Mark Neal, Bradley Company 112 Suite 300- The petitioner comes before the Council looking <br />th <br />for your favorable approval of this tax code for the fourth (4) portion of the building. The first <br />three abatements covered the hotel, residential, garage, and the rental on the ground and <br />basement levels. The residential apartment units will be on floor seven (7) and floors seventeen <br />(17) through twenty-five (25). The application indicates eighty-six (86) units, the most recent <br />design work includes eighty-five (85) units with a common area for the apartments on theseventh <br />th <br />(7) floor. The expected investment is about 12.5 million to be complete in 2017 or if needed <br />2018. Requesting the three (3) years rather than the two (2) years for the abatement. I still expect <br />the hotel to be delivered to the A Loft brand in the first quarter of 2017. With the apartments to <br />follow after that. <br /> <br />Council President Scott- Asked for questions from the Council for questions seeing none. <br /> <br />Council President Scott- Is there anyone wishing to speak in favor or in opposition seeing no one <br />the public hearing is now closed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to adopt Resolution 15-95. Councilmember Derek <br />Dieter seconded the motion which carried and the resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of <br />seven (7) ayes. <br /> <br /> <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br />1.REPORTS FROM AREA PLAN COMMISSION <br /> <br />a.BILL NO. 47-15 <br /> <br />b.BILL NO. 48-15 <br /> <br />c.BILL NO. 49-15 <br /> <br />d.BILL NO. 50-15 <br /> <br />e.BILL NO. 64-15 <br /> <br />Councilmember Derek Dieter made a motion to send 47-15, 48-15, 49-15, 50-15, 64-15 to the <br />th <br />Zoning and Annexation Committee on November 9. Councilmember Gavin Ferlic seconded the <br />motion which carried by a voice vote of seven (7) ayes. <br />Councilmember Henry Davis Jr.- All of you received a letter from the Mayor about the letter I <br />sent in reference to violence in the City. I’ve had a very eye opening experience about action <br />concerning the City and whose concerns are heard more so than ever before that the crime that is <br />happening is a Black problem. The only reason why Henry is talking about it is because it effects <br />the Black community. I think all crime affects all people. No matter whose community, no <br />matter who’s the victim of the crime. Regardless of what one’s opinion may be about the crime, <br />crime is bad. We’ve had several shootings at one gas station. If you want to get shot you go to <br />that gas station on Bertrand and Olive. I also have an issue with, this past week when I went to <br />Tim Scott’s district where that car was shot up and it looked like a scene off of the Untouchables <br />or the Godfather. I think we need to have a serious conversation about how do we tackle crime. I <br />keep saying this, it isn’t that we need more police to stop it because that may not necessarily be <br />the answer to it. <br /> <br />What I am interested in is having the conversation on how we intentionally bring economic <br />results to areas that are subpar or even worse. In particular, on Marquette and O’Brien there was <br />one street light over there and that street light was covered by trees. You can imagine how dark it <br />is during the night time. Simple things to cure the ills, many of the people in that area were <br />homeowners, had been there for years and decades and they just never thought their investment <br />would return them in this manner. I think that there is a lot to be said about how we can go about <br />changing the way this thing is working because it is not getting better. We tried gang violence <br />intervention, crime is going up, and all we do is hear about more shootings than before. It’s not <br />9 <br /> <br /> <br />
