1. Call to Order. Chair Brantly called the special meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. in the
• Administration Conference Room at City Hall.
2. Review Proposed Modification to Redevelopment Project No. 1 (Central
Business District), Modification No. 1 to TIF District No. 2 (Senior Citizen
Housing) and Modification No. 2 to TIF District No. 3 (DKM (Holyoke)
Professional Building).
Mr. Sobota reviewed the proposed modifications to Redevelopment Project No. 1,
District No. 2, and District No. 3. He noted that District No. 3 was originally created
for the DKM (Holyoke) Professional Building downtown and the Arkel Housing
Project. The Arkel housing project never materialized. Mr. Sobota stated that the
proposed Modification No. 2 to the TIF District No. 3 budget would allow increment
collected from the parcels directly north and west of City Hall to be used for potential
redevelopment costs including land write down, infrastructure improvements, or the
acquisition/demolition of the Budget Mart Building. Comm. Pogatchnik inquired if
Budget Mart is a willing participant in the redevelopment project. Mr. Sobota stated
that Budget Mart has expressed an interest in constructing a new convenience/gas
operation with a car wash predicated on being the only convenience/gas facility in
"Town Square".
Mr. Erickson stated that there is a need for an additional NURP pond to serve the
"Town Square" development area. This corner is a potential site for the pond due to
aesthetic and engineering benefits. He noted that location of the pond on the corner
• would free up more valuable land for commercial development within "Town Square".

Mr. Sobota reviewed proposed Modification No. 1 to TIF District No. 2. He noted
that the increment for this district is generated from the Fairfield Terrace Apartments.
He noted that the proposed modification to the district plan would allow for future
acquisition of two residential properties located south of the senior citizen center to
allow for potential future development of a senior housing project similar to Fairfield
Terrace. Mr. Erickson noted that this project would be at least five yeazs out, but the
modifications to the TIF District would need to be made now to provide for such
potential redevelopment. Mr. Sobota noted that the existing senior center could serve
as a potential common area connecting to a new senior housing project. He noted that
the existing senior center will eventually need additional space, and construction of a
new center would allow for anticipated growth. Mr. Sobota stated that staff is
recommending approval of the proposed modifications to Redevelopment Project No.
1, Modification No. 1 to TIF District No. 2, and Modification No. 2 to TIF District
No. 3.
