However, we wanted to wait and make sure our complete streets was adequately funded. But before we started a new program, the King's Crossing Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend to you the consideration. The allocation of 1 million dollars in funding for wayfinding signage program as written on page 4 Dash 2, one of the 2017 redevelopment update. It states the implementation of a consistent, clean, inaccurate system of wayfinding signs can better define points of interest and other destinations within the cra reinforcing each of the district's unique attributes and assisting both motorists and pedestrians and navigating through the area and a pleasant, easy way. The districts are defined in the 2008 redevelopment plan. And I've included that page in your packet so that you have an idea of what definitions of you to the districts are. And on the back page, you will find the character areas allocated within the boundary. It's approximately 2300 acres. They each have their character area. Using our complete streets designed build consultants. We were able to utilize their subs Lakeside sign company and api Design Architects as a consultant on this initiative.

CHAIRMAN, before we get started, I would like to point out to you that there was a >> slight change in the resolution for this item. That was emailed out to last Wednesday and the one that you have in front of you, the change was written as a change in residential units from 90 to 100 units when, in fact, it's 90 units to 110. So the resolution you have in front of you, it just 810, which is accurate. By way of background College Park, only town and country shopping center is located in the cra boundary at the at the intersection of University Boulevard in Arlington Expressway. It is the gateway to the Arlington neighborhood and is also the gateway to downtown from the east. It comprises approximately 19 acres. Over decades of time. Town and country became a dated underutilized in desperate need of redevelopment. We began working with Alex Baucus, Jwb and his team in 2020. They are truly pioneers in Arlington neighborhood. They said that that area, I truly expected that redevelopment would start at the North and on the other side of Jay, you I can see by shopping center where all the development is coming up and out of the ground. They went into the area that is a rough area of the corridor. Their this project just is truly a gift. I have provided you at your place some before. And after pictures. This is really and brag book for Jwb. It's a beautiful property in project. If you haven't. But now there to see it. Please do. It's magnificent. We're very proud what it's turned into. The redevelopment project consist of a mixed use approach. That includes a grocer Winn-Dixie which also stalled for food desert. Retail restaurant, the future open air food court and either a hotel or a residential component to be determined. There were many unanticipated, an unforeseen circumstances that impacted project facing such as supply chain shortages and very problematic fdot, extremely delayed reviews for permitting on the frontage of Arlington Expressway and University Boulevard. What you are considering today is the 4th Amendment to that hid infrastructure. Grant Ada. We are not requesting any adjustments to the funding we are. We are requesting some what flexibility and the timing of their job creation and the timing of their deliverables. If you will turn in your materials to the page behind. Number 16, the pike that page numbers on the bottom of packets. This page is behind at the very end of your packet. It's kind of it. Term sheet to cheat that I am going to go through very quickly. And just give you an idea of that. It's here. Current section that we're going to be changing 1.1 that you d a this is truly a scrivener's error and actually said air and the amendment and it should have referenced exhibit a. 3.1 performance schedule of amendment 3. We are asking a change from commencement of no later than AUGUST. 23rd 2026 AUGUST 23rd 2029. This is for the hotel or the rest in residential component. We also are requesting a change of maximum from 90 residential units to a maximum of 110 residential units. 4.2, the last pay interest payment fiscal year change from 2025. 26 to. We don't like to add 2, 2026. 2027. 5.1 amendment 2 job creation. We would like to request that. We extend that date from DECEMBER 31st. 2024 to DECEMBER 31st. 2026. 5.1 bet a job creation had language extending reporting requirements for new job to retention. This extends the reporting requirement for Jwb. 9.2 of the eta specific defaults change bill change the to DECEMBER 31st. 2026 to match the job creation requirement. And then 9.2 speaks to their specific default. If none of these states are met, they will have to repay what has been paid out to them, which is approximately, which is exactly 1.2 million dollars. Those are the changes we are requesting. Jwb has been an excellent partner and Arlington. We think changes are reasonable and necessary to get them to the finish line for completion. This property project and hope you will consider them. I'm available to answer any questions. You might have an Alex Baucus with Jwb is here. If you have any questions for him. Thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN. Seeing the q is lit notes. Kings on cue I have a question mark. More of a statement done. Doesn't you really enlighten me into situation that was kind of difficult for jwb in this with proving that job creation? There's a a graph or chart that says every job has to have to have their name. They're still scared number. All this. So they they built a Winn-Dixie there. And you can just go and see theirs redshirt in the parking lot. Those jobs. But Winn-Dixie is refusing like most employers would to give up there. Employees, Social Security numbers and on information for them to qualify for getting credit for green those jobs. How do we fix that worsens? Lose that MR. And office here that might be part of economic development. You know the code and what we have to do. Prove job creation. But just thinking outside the box with a lot of smart people in the room, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions or Mr and off on how we account for this in the future. So it's not so difficult. >> What you are referring to, what is that the chairs referring to is exhibit e which is in your package is on page. 42 go to the bottom numbers. 42 is exhibit e and this is required in all of our eta's. It's a job report. >> And if you go to the back of page, 43, you'll see the detail that the CHAIRMAN Is referring to. >> This is standard reporting requirements that we have on all of our projects. We have to be able to go in and verify that these are legal jobs. It's part of our core competency. It's required. And the grit and r p I p any waiver that would be an amendment to the p I p our finance and compliance staff have said far as Social Security number goes, we can at least take the last 4 digits. But we do have to be able to go in and verify that 20 jobs were created. The situation with Winn-Dixie is they will not give us the information we need to verify that will that will satisfy or financing compliance office. We know that created probably 70, 80 jobs. If you've been in there and shop there you see there's Falstaff. There's also Max's restaurant that has 36 people on staff. There's a nail salon. There's an ice cream parlor. There's a bait shop. There are shops there. We know jobs have been created. We as staff have not been able to verify them in accordance with our guidelines. So with been working with Alex for the next tenants coming in has confirmed that he is going to put this exhibit e and their lease so that MAY know coming and they will have to complete it and we won't have. We will need to come out and verify them. So I think moving forward, we have a solution, which is why we're asking you to extend their date another year. >> Makes sense. MISTER Randolph, a stand-up not to take everyone's time upon this. Maybe it's better Center committee are some private meetings. But is this a common issue? You have an economic development deals or is there another solutions that you use to help employers and help developers prove that they're creating jobs. >> So at Randolph led to the chair. Yeah. So collectively across the board, our economic development agreements, it is a requirement that they supplied the Social Security number lot of times we'll get them redact. Most of that. But it's more from perspective, the kind of truly say that it's not Marius easier, Mikey, that your listing out. But really needs to be a defining element of that job. Just evidence of that job and that individual working for that company. So security number again, even if part of its redacted normally is the element of which are especially our council auditors asked to to show proof of. So it's we did get pushed back periodically on that from employers. You know, each year when they have to turn in there, annual reports. But but truly there that there's not probably there's fewer of few other ways to really actually you know, identify that specific individuals working and those particular locations in Duval County. Appreciate your article landing on then. I'm sure we could. We could follow up ways that >> Maybe creative that still, you know, protect taxpayer incentives and the dollars spent creating jobs so we can verify them. Someone asked me for all my so scary numbers. My in place, Tom rocks. All right. MISTER Salem, are On the q? You're recognized? Thank Chair. I threw the chair of mission is wrong. >> And maybe mistress of pockets. First of all, very grateful our 2 resident for what you've done at that shopping center, if you have not seen it, it's unbelievable. How is transformed the interim starling to. But I'm a little confused. Is it 110 residential units or a hotel one or the other in. Does he have the choice which one it's built there? Can you explain >> chair, it is an either or scenario. They aree. They either have to the they can either create an apartment or housing some kind of residential component or a hotel either or and it is at their discretion. >> And that is on the sight there close to the expressway. Correct through the chair. Yes, That's correct. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you, MR. Stale. I think we'll entertain a motion move resolution r. >> If a 2026 year >> We've got a motion and a second on that before I call for a vote. Is there any public comment? There's no public comment. So we're gonna open the ballot and record your vote is Thank you. >> 15 yeas, 0 nays. >> actually, the motion is approved and is now the relish there. Any other new business? No new business. So business of business and your packages, you have your quarterly mandatory compliance grant program report for this quarter. >> It's required early, I usually them out of this meeting and it was sent out your e-mail last Wednesday. All right. That's just informant of any action on that. It's case q. >> And we do have public conduct salmon. You'll be recognized. Yes, stocks down. Thank you, chair. I just wanted to if you have not driven down University Boulevard north recently, you're really beginning to see the fruits of our >> investments to the businesses there. There's all sorts of. >> Just in the last 2 or 3 months, things popping up, signs coming down and it appears like this is the beginning of that transformation that we have talked about for this cra for years. >> terribly excited. And looking forward to that continuing the one comment I would make is, you know, we've got that complete streets project that that we want University Boulevard north and I assume the sidewalks I see coming in are consistent with that. And we won't be ripping up things down the road when that complete streets comes Is that correct? >> Through the chair? Yes. Service and further. We are designing the conceptual plans with that in mind with also around to where maybe conduit line will go for that undergrounding. So as conceptual plans for University Boulevard com online, we're sending them to the consultant. >> And I can assure you, Councilmember Morrow now will will be pounding the pavement for undergrounding of those utilities. Yes, sir. Thank you. Chair. All right. Thank you, Thank you. Have one public comment card. Forgive me on reading your hand running. Think it says Jorgen Allo from 2 to 14 Boulevard. All right.

CHAIRMAN Karen Natural, a weedy staff today for your consideration is the funding for a king suit? Al crossing Wayfinding signage. >> Program for the entire boundary of the cra, the vice chair in the advisory board have wanted to implement a program for very long time. However, we wanted to wait and make sure our complete streets was adequately funded. But before we started a new program, the King's Crossing Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend to you the consideration. The allocation of 1 million dollars in funding for wayfinding signage program as written on page 4 Dash 2, one of the 2017 redevelopment update. It states the implementation of a consistent, clean, inaccurate system of wayfinding signs can better define points of interest and other destinations within the cra reinforcing each of the district's unique attributes and assisting both motorists and pedestrians and navigating through the area and a pleasant, easy way. The districts are defined in the 2008 redevelopment plan. And I've included that page in your packet so that you have an idea of what definitions of you to the districts are. And on the back page, you will find the character areas allocated within the boundary. It's approximately 2300 acres. They each have their character area. Using our complete streets designed build consultants. We were able to utilize their subs Lakeside sign company and api Design Architects as a consultant on this initiative. I've included the presentation to the advisory board in your meeting package. It looks like this. They did our downtown RiverWalk signage packed program, which is illustrated in the last few pages of this presentation. If you would like to take a look. Because a con is lead on our complete streets project. They will be coordinating and managing the logistics from design to fabrication and then to installation. If you agree to fund this program, it will leave a balance of 3 million, $821,000 and unallocated plan authorize expenditures available for projects this fiscal year. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN, back to you. >> All right. There is no one in the queue gets emotion on the item move resolution.

The minutes are approved. >> Moving on to the next item which will ask again for MISS. Karen has relative bless us at the podium. The floor is yours before we thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN, before we get started, I would like to point out to you that there was a >> slight change in the resolution for this item. That was emailed out to last Wednesday and the one that you have in front of you, the change was written as a change in residential units from 90 to 100 units when, in fact, it's 90 units to 110. So the resolution you have in front of you, it just 810, which is accurate. By way of background College Park, only town and country shopping center is located in the cra boundary at the at the intersection of University Boulevard in Arlington Expressway. It is the gateway to the Arlington neighborhood and is also the gateway to downtown from the east. It comprises approximately 19 acres. Over decades of time. Town and country became a dated underutilized in desperate need of redevelopment. We began working with Alex Baucus, Jwb and his team in 2020. They are truly pioneers in Arlington neighborhood. They said that that area, I truly expected that redevelopment would start at the North and on the other side of Jay, you I can see by shopping center where all the development is coming up and out of the ground. They went into the area that is a rough area of the corridor. Their this project just is truly a gift. I have provided you at your place some before. And after pictures. This is really and brag book for Jwb. It's a beautiful property in project. If you haven't. But now there to see it. Please do. It's magnificent. We're very proud what it's turned into. The redevelopment project consist of a mixed use approach. That includes a grocer Winn-Dixie which also stalled for food desert. Retail restaurant, the future open air food court and either a hotel or a residential component to be determined. There were many unanticipated, an unforeseen circumstances that impacted project facing such as supply chain shortages and very problematic fdot, extremely delayed reviews for permitting on the frontage of Arlington Expressway and University Boulevard. What you are considering today is the 4th Amendment to that hid infrastructure. Grant Ada. We are not requesting any adjustments to the funding we are. We are requesting some what flexibility and the timing of their job creation and the timing of their deliverables. If you will turn in your materials to the page behind. Number 16, the pike that page numbers on the bottom of packets. This page is behind at the very end of your packet. It's kind of it. Term sheet to cheat that I am going to go through very quickly. And just give you an idea of that. It's here. Current section that we're going to be changing 1.1 that you d a this is truly a scrivener's error and actually said air and the amendment and it should have referenced exhibit a. 3.1 performance schedule of amendment 3. We are asking a change from commencement of no later than AUGUST. 23rd 2026 AUGUST 23rd 2029. This is for the hotel or the rest in residential component. We also are requesting a change of maximum from 90 residential units to a maximum of 110 residential units. 4.2, the last pay interest payment fiscal year change from 2025. 26 to. We don't like to add 2, 2026. 2027. 5.1 amendment 2 job creation. We would like to request that. We extend that date from DECEMBER 31st. 2024 to DECEMBER 31st. 2026. 5.1 bet a job creation had language extending reporting requirements for new job to retention. This extends the reporting requirement for Jwb. 9.2 of the eta specific defaults change bill change the to DECEMBER 31st. 2026 to match the job creation requirement. And then 9.2 speaks to their specific default. If none of these states are met, they will have to repay what has been paid out to them, which is approximately, which is exactly 1.2 million dollars. Those are the changes we are requesting. Jwb has been an excellent partner and Arlington. We think changes are reasonable and necessary to get them to the finish line for completion. This property project and hope you will consider them. I'm available to answer any questions. You might have an Alex Baucus with Jwb is here. If you have any questions for him. Thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN. Seeing the q is lit notes. Kings on cue I have a question mark. More of a statement done. Doesn't you really enlighten me into situation that was kind of difficult for jwb in this with proving that job creation? There's a a graph or chart that says every job has to have to have their name. They're still scared number. All this. So they they built a Winn-Dixie there. And you can just go and see theirs redshirt in the parking lot. Those jobs. But Winn-Dixie is refusing like most employers would to give up there. Employees, Social Security numbers and on information for them to qualify for getting credit for green those jobs. How do we fix that worsens? Lose that MR. And office here that might be part of economic development. You know the code and what we have to do. Prove job creation. But just thinking outside the box with a lot of smart people in the room, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions or Mr and off on how we account for this in the future. So it's not so difficult. >> What you are referring to, what is that the chairs referring to is exhibit e which is in your package is on page. 42 go to the bottom numbers. 42 is exhibit e and this is required in all of our eta's. It's a job report. >> And if you go to the back of page, 43, you'll see the detail that the CHAIRMAN Is referring to. >> This is standard reporting requirements that we have on all of our projects. We have to be able to go in and verify that these are legal jobs. It's part of our core competency. It's required. And the grit and r p I p any waiver that would be an amendment to the p I p our finance and compliance staff have said far as Social Security number goes, we can at least take the last 4 digits. But we do have to be able to go in and verify that 20 jobs were created. The situation with Winn-Dixie is they will not give us the information we need to verify that will that will satisfy or financing compliance office. We know that created probably 70, 80 jobs. If you've been in there and shop there you see there's Falstaff. There's also Max's restaurant that has 36 people on staff. There's a nail salon. There's an ice cream parlor. There's a bait shop. There are shops there. We know jobs have been created. We as staff have not been able to verify them in accordance with our guidelines. So with been working with Alex for the next tenants coming in has confirmed that he is going to put this exhibit e and their lease so that MAY know coming and they will have to complete it and we won't have. We will need to come out and verify them. So I think moving forward, we have a solution, which is why we're asking you to extend their date another year. >> Makes sense. MISTER Randolph, a stand-up not to take everyone's time upon this. Maybe it's better Center committee are some private meetings. But is this a common issue? You have an economic development deals or is there another solutions that you use to help employers and help developers prove that they're creating jobs. >> So at Randolph led to the chair. Yeah. So collectively across the board, our economic development agreements, it is a requirement that they supplied the Social Security number lot of times we'll get them redact. Most of that. But it's more from perspective, the kind of truly say that it's not Marius easier, Mikey, that your listing out. But really needs to be a defining element of that job. Just evidence of that job and that individual working for that company. So security number again, even if part of its redacted normally is the element of which are especially our council auditors asked to to show proof of. So it's we did get pushed back periodically on that from employers. You know, each year when they have to turn in there, annual reports. But but truly there that there's not probably there's fewer of few other ways to really actually you know, identify that specific individuals working and those particular locations in Duval County. Appreciate your article landing on then. I'm sure we could. We could follow up ways that >> Maybe creative that still, you know, protect taxpayer incentives and the dollars spent creating jobs so we can verify them. Someone asked me for all my so scary numbers. My in place, Tom rocks. All right. MISTER Salem, are On the q? You're recognized? Thank Chair. I threw the chair of mission is wrong. >> And maybe mistress of pockets. First of all, very grateful our 2 resident for what you've done at that shopping center, if you have not seen it, it's unbelievable. How is transformed the interim starling to. But I'm a little confused. Is it 110 residential units or a hotel one or the other in. Does he have the choice which one it's built there? Can you explain >> chair, it is an either or scenario. They aree. They either have to the they can either create an apartment or housing some kind of residential component or a hotel either or and it is at their discretion. >> And that is on the sight there close to the expressway. Correct through the chair. Yes, That's correct. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you, MR. Stale. I think we'll entertain a motion move resolution r. >> If a 2026 year >> We've got a motion and a second on that before I call for a vote. Is there any public comment? There's no public comment. So we're gonna open the ballot and record your vote is Thank you. >> 15 yeas, 0 nays. >> actually, the motion is approved and is now the relish there. Any other new business? No new business. So business of business and your packages, you have your quarterly mandatory compliance grant program report for this quarter. >> It's required early, I usually them out of this meeting and it was sent out your e-mail last Wednesday. All right. That's just informant of any action on that. It's case q. >> And we do have public conduct salmon. You'll be recognized. Yes, stocks down. Thank you, chair. I just wanted to if you have not driven down University Boulevard north recently, you're really beginning to see the fruits of our >> investments to the businesses there. There's all sorts of. >> Just in the last 2 or 3 months, things popping up, signs coming down and it appears like this is the beginning of that transformation that we have talked about for this cra for years. >> terribly excited. And looking forward to that continuing the one comment I would make is, you know, we've got that complete streets project that that we want University Boulevard north and I assume the sidewalks I see coming in are consistent with that. And we won't be ripping up things down the road when that complete streets comes Is that correct? >> Through the chair? Yes. Service and further. We are designing the conceptual plans with that in mind with also around to where maybe conduit line will go for that undergrounding. So as conceptual plans for University Boulevard com online, we're sending them to the consultant. >> And I can assure you, Councilmember Morrow now will will be pounding the pavement for undergrounding of those utilities. Yes, sir. Thank you. Chair. All right. Thank you, Thank you. Have one public comment card. Forgive me on reading your hand running. Think it says Jorgen Allo from 2 to 14 Boulevard. All right.
