Staff said a county work session on the TADs is expected later in the month, and the committee would have to vote to change its schedule. The committee agreed to keep the December 10 meeting on the calendar and revisit it by email vote if guidance changes.
  • A member asked how people should submit a project for the mall TAD; staff and members pointed to the county website and the economic development staff.
  • No other business; the meeting adjourned by voice vote.

03:58special

03:59sorry we have two items the special

04:01overlay district that is in process and

04:04an update on our committee vacancies.

04:07Okay.

04:08>> So I'll hand it over to you.

04:10>> Thank you. I'm actually uh trying to

04:12mess with the audio because

04:15uh Miss Caitlyn is in and she says she

04:18can't hear anything.

04:19>> I can hear you now, Daniel. I can hear

04:21you a lot better than I can hear Susan.

04:24>> Okay, thank you. I uh I just hit the

04:26volume button a lot, so [laughter]

04:29that's Yeah,

04:30>> great. That sounds better.

04:32>> Thank you. And I'm sorry I'm not there.

04:36>> All right. Uh, so if I can, so I have

04:38notes on here for the special district

04:40overlay and according to uh an email

04:44from planning director Bruce Lonnie. Um,

04:47he sent to me on September 4th, uh, the

04:50planning commission had met the night

04:52before, uh, Thursday, September 3rd, as

04:54they do, the first Thursday of every

04:55month. Uh, he said they tabled the mall

04:58overlay item uh, and provided staff,

05:01being ACC gov staff, planning staff, uh,

05:04with a punch list. Uh Bruce did not

05:06specify what items were on this punch

05:08list, but a punch list to work between

05:10staff and the developer uh to look at uh

05:13with a tenative uh date of returning to

05:16the planning commission on Thursday,

05:18November 5th. He said there is a

05:21possibility they will meet the first

05:22Thursday of October, which is the 1st,

05:25but most likely it's going to be uh

05:27November 5th. So, unfortunately, there's

05:30going to be uh nothing to update here

05:32today uh other than the overlay is still

05:35in process.

05:39Um,

05:41real quick, I did want to just

05:42interject. Uh, there's a new item on the

05:44bottom of your agenda. Uh, I have been

05:47asked by my leadership uh to start

05:49putting the account balances

05:52uh on the agenda.

05:54Uh, typically finance has helped me with

05:56that because this is going to be a more

05:57regular ask. I am learning how to do it.

06:01So, the note on there says it's adds of

06:03July 20th. That information is also on

06:04the TAD web pages by the way. Uh, so if

06:07you ever go to accgov.com and look up

06:09the TADS, uh, it is at the bottom with

06:11all six TADs um, with their balances.

06:15Um, I did check this also last week and

06:18as of that that check, uh, and based on

06:20the numbers I have, everything matched

06:22what I was last given in July 20th. So,

06:24there's been no updates the last month

06:25and a half.

06:28Uh, returning to the actual agenda, um,

06:31committee vacancies. Frankly, I do not

06:33have an update. Um, historically, uh, I

06:37will bring the information to the

06:38manager's office and the manager's

06:40office will notify Mayor Girtz. Uh it is

06:42a mayor appointment uh pretty much

06:44exclusively uh to keep six committees um

06:49uh full with seven people. Um I think

06:52that the mayor has asked for assistance

06:53for recommendations

06:56and and I know that some me some

06:59potential members have reached out to

07:00the mayor specifically. It's it's always

07:02funny to talk to people and they say

07:03I've got Kelly on on uh in my contacts

07:07because I don't um and I shouldn't. But

07:10I think some people are are taking the

07:11initiative and reaching out to him. I

07:14have not heard anything about no

07:15appointments. Um, this committee has

07:17five members and four is necessary for a

07:19quorum.

07:24U ma'am, unless there was anything else

07:26you would like me to cover, that's all I

07:28had.

07:29>> Okay, that's it for you. Um,

07:33on our agenda,

07:35I don't see that we have any old or

07:37unfinished business.

07:39Unless someone else knows of any.

07:43>> Um, did we want to talk about the

07:45possibility of moving these meetings to

07:48an ad hoc basis? I know we talked about

07:50that over email and then that kind of

07:51fizzled.

07:53I don't have strong opinions, but I

07:55didn't know if we wanted to take this

07:56opportunity to make any decision on

07:58that.

08:02>> Daniel, I think you might have more

08:03information about what the um discussion

08:06might be.

08:09higher level about the meetings and

08:14>> so yeah I'm not sure if I'm going to

08:17cover exactly what you might have in

08:18mind I do know that uh each committee uh

08:21by ordinance has been given leeway to

08:24determine how it to operate its its own

08:27pace its own bylaws um also uh mayor

08:31elect Fiser uh has recommended a work

08:34session uh with the other commissioners

08:36or at least a portion of them again I'm

08:38not for sure uh who's attending that,

08:40but there's going to be a work session

08:42sometime later this month uh to discuss

08:44the TADS uh and how they're moving

08:46forward. So,

08:48uh it's kind of the same old thing we

08:50did this last year where

08:52we we don't know what to expect. Um but

08:56business as usual. Um there is no

08:58official business to to vote on other

09:00than approving your your minutes and

09:01your agendas at this time. There are no

09:03projects coming in. There's no requests

09:05for tag funding. uh and the mall project

09:08is uh officially terminated as is as of

09:12December.

09:14So

09:15there is no action.

09:16>> So I understand that when they do this

09:20work session and under a new mayor they

09:22may change the rules but as of now

09:25we would be able to

09:29change our meeting schedule from every

09:31three months to when they're you know as

09:34needed basis. So when someone did

09:36request funds, you could let us know and

09:38we could schedule a meeting for that

09:39purpose. I just don't know if there's a

09:41lot of point in meeting every three

09:43months just to approve the minutes and

09:45then not. But if people feel differently

09:48or if we have to do that, I'm fine with

09:50it.

09:54When is Dexter when is Dexter plan on

09:57calling that? You don't know?

09:59>> Uh I don't know that I have the exact

10:01date. Let me see.

10:04Um

10:09I'll tell you my boss has been reaching

10:10out to a lot of

10:13departments for supporting documentation

10:14about this meeting uh upcoming retreat.

10:17That's that's all I have. And then

10:21it's not it's not super exact, but I can

10:23tell you that I have been asked to be in

10:26a follow-up meeting on Monday the 21st

10:30>> of September.

10:31>> Yes. Okay. So I assume sometime in the

10:33next week or two.

10:34>> Okay.

10:35>> So could you after you've had that

10:37meeting maybe just send us guidance,

10:39anything that changed or anything like

10:41that and maybe we can take that up at

10:42our December meeting.

10:45>> Uh yes, ma'am. And then uh to kind of a

10:47point you were sort of making the um the

10:50committee would have to vote the

10:51committee voted on the schedule. So the

10:53committee would have to vote on

10:54modifying the schedule. So right now

10:56we'd be sticking with December unless

10:58something happens

11:00uh here today.

11:08Why don't we leave the December meeting

11:10on the calendar and then if need be, we

11:12could send out maybe a a vote to change

11:17that based on your meeting that's coming

11:19up.

11:20>> Yes, ma'am.

11:21>> That works.

11:23>> That work?

11:24>> Sounds good. Okay, let's do works for

11:27me.

11:30Okay. Any new business? Anyone?

11:34>> Um Danny, is that million dollar figure

11:37just for the Maltad or for Altad?

11:40>> That is for the mall area.

11:42>> That's the Maltad.

11:43>> Yes, that is your one. Yes, sir.

11:47>> Um and I I just had a question that I

11:49have been receiving some questions on.

11:52Um,

11:54is there is there um people are kind of

11:57wondering like if they want to submit

11:59something for the mall tag, what's the

12:02process to do that? And so I was just

12:06kind of wondering given the change with

12:08the mall status and all of that if there

12:11is a way that I should direct people

12:14>> like a development project.

12:16>> Yes. So they're interested in you know

12:18just doing something in the mall area

12:20like is there are there certain where

12:22are the requirements and all that well

12:25the ACC website is that the best place

12:27to direct them to currently

12:28>> there's a whole process with the

12:31>> uh under the tad

12:33>> okay that's what I've been saying is go

12:35to the it's it's yes

12:37>> and I found the best way to find what

12:38you want on the acc.com website is to go

12:41to chatgpt

12:43and ask it to look on the acccc.com

12:46website for information regarding blah

12:48blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

12:48blah blah blah blah and it boom

12:49>> okay

12:52>> find that that was the best location

12:54>> Daniel you might want to try it sometime

12:56>> you're right maybe I will sometime

12:57>> it's an efficiency move
