[00:00:43] That's 5-0. Commercial Interior build-out grant agreement for 5743 Main Street. [00:00:53] Consent agenda? Well, could I pull it from the consent agenda? I'd like to learn a little bit about it from what I'm looking at. [00:01:02] All of them, or the first one? [00:01:06] They're all for the same property, so I'd like to get some understanding of what we're doing. [00:01:13] Okay. There's two addresses, but it's all for the same property. [00:01:18] And Mr. Gannon, Mr. Gannon can present all of them to you, starting with the build-out grant agreement at 5743 Main Street. [00:01:30] Absolutely. This is Chesco Inn, for everybody to know. [00:01:33] They've come in with a couple of requests to update that building, both inside and outside. [00:01:38] The main thing they're doing interior is an upgrade of their HVAC systems. [00:01:42] If you notice when you walk by that building, they have all the window boxes in all the windows, the air conditioning ones. [00:01:48] They're going to get rid of all those and do mini splits throughout the building. [00:01:51] So that's about 93% of the 104,000 interior improvements they have, they would like to do. [00:01:57] And on the exterior, they're going to replace all of the awnings and repaint the building. [00:02:01] That's the majority of the costs they're looking for there. [00:02:04] So why are we dividing it up into two pieces? [00:02:07] We have a maximum $25,000 grant on an interior, but we can do that per property address. [00:02:16] Ellie? [00:02:17] That's what the grant allows to occur, the grant program. [00:02:26] And there's only two businesses? [00:02:31] No, there's multiple businesses there. [00:02:33] You have Herschel's, you have Gonjucy, and you have a bunch of office tenants up top, Main Street is one of them. [00:02:38] And those addresses are not included here, or do they use it? [00:02:45] They have about four or five different addresses on Chesco Inn. [00:02:50] But we picked two of them so we could split it in half. [00:02:54] Well, I know how much we've given to some other properties for remodeling, whether they're commercial or not, [00:02:59] so I think the argument is kind of moot to some degree. [00:03:02] But it does beg the question of us needing to relook at our grants overall forward for the way in which they're managed. [00:03:14] Okay. [00:03:15] Thank you. [00:03:16] All those in favor, signify by aye. [00:03:18] I have a motion. [00:03:23] Do we have a consent agenda? [00:03:24] You took it off, so now you need to open it up to the public as well. [00:03:26] Okay. [00:03:27] Does anybody have any comments from the public on the consent agenda? [00:03:31] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back for discussion and vote. [00:03:34] So we've had discussion, now how about a vote? [00:03:37] I'll move to approve. [00:03:44] Anything else you'd like to say, Pete? [00:03:45] Well, under consent there's no discussion, so we're done. [00:03:52] Well, yeah, well, when you pulled it, I didn't really get a chance to jump in before we brought it back for a motion, so can we? [00:04:02] We're right now in the process. [00:04:04] I understand, but he. [00:04:05] He could get three votes. [00:04:07] Right, but it's consent, so there's no discussion. [00:04:09] Let's just call it an action that was pulled from the consent so that we can hear the members. [00:04:16] Just to clarify, since there was a question on breaking it up, can you give out the grant amounts broken down? [00:04:27] Yeah, we have two commercial interior grants, both at $25,000. [00:04:31] There you go. [00:04:32] Okay, and then we'll have the facade grant, the exterior grant of $18,015. [00:04:38] Thank you. [00:04:39] And that's a 50-50 match on the exterior.
