that resistance often stems from misinformation about their functions, environmental
impacts, and community integration.
Ms. Williams asked if there were any questions, and there were none.
Secretary/Treasurer's Report
Mrs. Kingston said the South Police Precinct, located at 3303 Jefferson Avenue, was
originally developed in 2015 with the EDA serving as developer for the construction of the
building. She stated that, upon completion of the project, the EDA entered into a lease with
the City for its operation of the Precinct, notating that per the lease, at the expiration of the
10th year of the term, the City may request that the EDA convey ownership of the property.
She said that the intention for the property was always for it to be conveyed to the City and
that now is the appropriate time. Mrs. Kingston noted that the City has provided notice
requesting the transfer, with City Council action to accept the conveyance scheduled for the
September 23rd Council meeting. She stated that she would be seeking a Motion at the
end of her report to authorize the conveyance.
Mrs. Kingston said that staff has been coordinating with NNRHA and Pennrose on the
development of the final phase of CNI housing Downtown. She said that one of the
coordination items has been with Dominion on the relocation of lines servicing parking lot
lighting – including the EDA owned parking lot at 114 29th Street and 2806 and 2810 West
Avenue. Mrs. Kingston announced that staff have coordinated with the Engineering
Department on a new pole and wiring location that will provide sufficient lighting coverage
for the parking lot and allow for the removal of lines affecting the housing site, noting that
the new pole and overhead line will be located on the adjacent EDA-owned 2804 West
Avenue. She stated that she would be seeking a Motion at the end of her report to
authorize the easements.
Mrs. Kingston shared that as part of the EDA’s commitment to supporting CNI activities is
the provision of 1,004 square feet of space on the 9th Floor of Rouse Tower to
accommodate Urban Strategies, Inc. (USI) in its implementation of the People Plan. She
said that the current lease with USI expires September 30, 2025, and that staff have
worked on an extension to continue USI’s presence through the end of September 2026,
which is consistent with the extension of the CNI Implementation Grant period. USI
currently pays $12 per square foot, which is ultimately billed as part of USI’s cost to deliver
services. She stated that she would be seeking a Motion at the end of her report to
authorize the amendment.
