7a. First amendment to redevelopment contract – 36th Street, LLC (The Elmwood).
Resolution No. 19-01.
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report. He noted there have been construction
delays on the project at on 36th Street and Highway 100. The expected complete date
was August 15, 2019, but now the developer is asking for the date to be extended to
May 25, 2020, due to having to gather more right-of-way permits from state agencies.
President Hallfin asked if having dates move like this is considered common practice.
Mr. Harmening stated it does happen, and is sometimes related to environmental issues
with the land, that lead to permit issues.
It was moved by Commissioner Mavity, seconded by Commissioner Brausen, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 19-01, approving the first amendment to the
redevelopment contract between EDA and 36th Street, LLC.
The motion passed 6-0.
