Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement
between the City of Dublin and Crawford Hoying
Summary
On Monday, October 8, 2018, City Council had first reading of Ordinance No. 70-18, which would
amend the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and Crawford Hoying
Development Partners, LLC (Developer).
There were a number of follow-up questions that were posed to Staff during the meeting as well
as via email (specifically an email from Councilmember DeRosa dated October 5, 2018). This
memo provides responses to the questions that have been posed. So that Council does not have to
refer back to the original memo dated October 4, 2018, the explanation of each change is included
in this memo followed by the questions and responses.
Roadway Improvements
The roadway grid within Bridge Park has changed from the grid originally described in the
Development Agreement as development plans for each Block have been finalized. The
Amendment updates the Development Agreement to reflect these changes, all of which have been
previously approved by Council as part of the development review process.
Question: During the Council meeting, additional information was requested from the Developer
regarding the increased costs of the public roadways.
Response: There are two primary reasons for the increased costs. First, there were two roadway
segments added since the original preliminary development plan — Larimer from Dale to Mooney
and Longshore from Larimer to John Shields Parkway. Secondly, there has been a general cost
increases for all construction since the time of the original estimates. The Developer has
experienced cost increases from Block C to Block D of nearly 40%, both in labor and materials.
This would apply to the roadways as well. The roadways are publicly bid, usually receiving three to
four bids, of which the lowest bidder is selected. City staff and outside engineering consultants
review all bids to make sure costs are consistent with other roadway costs in the City and in other
cities.
Increased Debt Limits and Optional Redemption
The original Development Agreement set forth a cap on debt that can be issued by the Columbus -
Franklin County Finance Authority to fund Bridge Park public improvement costs. The cap took the
form of both an absolute dollar amount ($61 million of costs funded by debt) and "debt service
coverage", which is the ratio of annual TIF and NCA revenue to annual debt service payments (TIF
and NCA revenue must be at least 115% of annual debt service payments).
Memo re. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Crawford Hoying
October 15, 2018
Page 2 of 10
Just as the City has seen cost escalation in its public improvement projections in the three plus
years since the Development Agreement was approved, the Developer is also experiencing cost
escalation for the Bridge Park public and private improvements. In addition, more roadways have
been added to the plan and the construction of the Public Market is proposed. Collectively these
will require that the Columbus -Franklin County Finance Authority issue more debt, and in order to
accommodate these increased costs and to allow the project to continue to develop, it is necessary
to increase the debt cap. The increased debt cap for the public improvements is occurring in
tandem with a significant increase in the value and square footage of the project's private
improvements. The Administration recommends that the absolute dollar amount cap be
eliminated, and the debt service coverage cap be increased to 120%. Given that private
improvement costs and values, which ultimately create the TIF and NCA revenue, significantly
increased from what was originally contemplated in the Development Agreement, additional
revenue is expected to be generated to pay debt service on the public improvements without a
meaningful financial impact to the City. The 120% coverage requirement (increased from 115%)
helps ensure that there are sufficient revenues available to pay debt service. When the developer
eventually takes this debt to the marketplace, the underwriters will of course assess its
creditworthiness, but in no case will the City have any exposure or risk associated with this debt.
The amendment also extends the date of the earliest permitted optional redemption date from 10
years to 15 years for taxable debt. This is in response to current debt market conditions. There
are fewer buyers for taxable debt with a 10 year optional redemption date, resulting in higher
interest rates. Extending the earliest optional redemption date to 15 years avoids higher interest
rates without imposing other financial burdens on the City.
Question: Earlier Councils felt that a cap was important. Can you please share the financial
consequences/benefits to the City of Dublin and taxpayers of having a cap (why it was included in
the agreement)?
Response: The purpose of the cap was to make sure that there was a reasonable and
appropriate relationship between the cost of the Community Facilities/Public Improvements being
financed by the Developer via the various economic development financing tools (such as TIFs,
NCA charges)and the taxable value of privately developed improvements.
The specific cap within the DA was derived from the preliminary estimated costs of the Community
Facilities that were the developer's responsibility and they related to the original estimated values
of all of the associated private improvements committed to by the Developer. Those developer
responsible Community Facilities/Public Improvements were the Phase 2 (Block A) and Phase 3
(Block D) roadways, five of the seven parking structures, and the events center. Given the
number of facilities to be financed, the City felt it was appropriate to have a cap that allowed the
City to assess the progress of the development mid -stream if costs increased and the cap would be
exceeded. The DA outlined the anticipated cost of each of those which totaled $60.9 million, or
the cap of $61 million. That amount of financing for those facilities was determined to be
reasonable and appropriate for the then planned value of the private improvements and the City
ensured that the estimated revenue from the TIFs and the NCA charges from the private
development would be sufficient to fund this debt service for the Developer's Community
Facilities/Public Improvements (with 115% coverage required). Since the original DA was
Memo re. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Crawford Hoying
October 15, 2018
Page 3 of 10
executed, the development plans have evolved and now provide more square footage and
assessed value of private improvements, thereby supporting an adjustment to the original cap.
Increasing the coverage requirement from 115% to 120% also ensures that increased private
value and revenues match the increased debt amount, so that the City's net position is not
negatively affected. Finally, after Block D, there are only two parking structures remaining to be
built, so Staff believes that having another debt assessment after the Block F financing is of limited
usefulness.
Question: The absolute dollar amount of the cap was set at $61M. What is the current debt
balance outstanding?
Response: Debt funding of approximately $45 million of costs has been issued for Blocks A and Z
to date leaving $16 million available under the existing cap. The costs for Block D will exceed the
cap.
Of the debt that has been issued, the entire amount is outstanding given that the first principal
payments on the currently outstanding debt begin in May/June of 2019.
Question: The "public improvement cost" portion of debt that will be issued for Block D includes
only the first floor, or the designated Public Market space, not the entire building/garage bond
debt. Is this correct? If correct, what is the financial portion of the anticipated bond financing
that applies to the "public improvement provision" and any cap requirement?
Response: The Block D community facilities would include the Public Market space and the
garage for an estimated total cost of $22,850,000. The Block D roadways would also be included
as part of the Block D debt.
Question: Moving forward, what would be the financial/risk pros and cons to Dublin of setting a
(new) higher cap vs. removing the cap requirement altogether?
Response: We do not view removing the cap as exposing the City to any financial risk. The
proposed increase in the cap is commensurate with the increases in the amount and value of the
approved private improvements. The original DA has a revenue "waterfall" which provides the
priority of how the TIF revenues/NCA charges will be distributed (other than Blocks B & C, where
the City receives 100% of the TIF revenues). In looking at the amount of debt CFCFA issues
alone, one could make the argument that it reduces the possibility that there is excess revenue
which would ultimately reach the City. However, while the amount of debt would increase, we
fully expect the TIF revenues/NCA charges to increase as well given the increased amount of
private investment and taxable assets, beyond what was outlined in the agreement, to cover the
additional debt being issued.
Additionally, in consideration for removing the cap, Staff have proposed increasing the debt
coverage ratio requirements on the Developer's financing from 115% to 120%. Therefore, unless
that amount of revenue coverage is available, the debt cannot be issued. The coverage test of
120% effectively caps the amount of debt that can be issued based on estimated project
revenues. The 120% coverage test assures that the amount of nonrecourse debt stays
proportional to the amount of development and expected revenue.

Dublin and Crawford Hoying

Additionally, it should be noted that the purchasers of the CFCFA debt will perform their due
diligence and will also be looking to ensure there is adequate coverage. If the financial model was
not solid, the market would demand a higher interest rate or there would be no willing buyer of
the bonds.
The pros would be that as long as the "belt and suspenders' are in place, the City benefits by
having a well-planned series of Public Improvements/Community Facilities to serve the
development, including this special community amenity that will be the Public Market to serve our
residents, with no financial risk to the City.
A potential con is that the City could determine at this point to eliminate the planned garages for
Block F and Block G, and require the developer to come forward at a later date to have those
garages added back to the Development Agreement if the developer still desired to build garages
on those blocks at the time of development. Doing so would likely increase the amount of excess
revenue accruing to the City over a 30 year time period, although the City would lose the public
parking planned for Block F and Block G and likely some of the revenue from those Blocks.
Question: What is the estimated interest rate difference in today's bond market between a 10 -
year and a 15 -year redemption date?
Response: The market for non -rated taxable development revenue bonds is very limited and
there are a limited amount of investors that can purchase this type of product. Investors who buy
this type of bond accept substantial development risk and construction risk and therefore earn a
higher interest rate. Longer calls provide investors yield protection.
With a 10 year instead of a 15 year call protection period for taxable debt, it is estimated that
yields would increase by 15-20 basis points (this equates to .15%-.20%)
Question: Earlier Councils felt that a 10 -year redemption rate was important. Why was it part of
the original agreement? What are the financial/risk Pros and Cons of changing to 15 years.
Response: The original DA contained multiple provisions (debt cap, call provisions and cost of
issuance) that would allow the City to be informed and manage any needed changes that weren't
in line with an agreed upon set of assumptions. The assumptions were reasonable at the time as
agreed to by the City and the Developer with the expectation that things change and that
amendments were possible as the development professed over time. The 10 -year call was
considered the general standard for tax-exempt bonds, and it was anticipated that any long-term
debt would be sold after the related Block was completed. There are fewer buyers in today's
market for taxable debt with a 10 -year optional redemption date, especially taxable debt issued
before construction is complete, all of which drives up the interest costs. To the extent that the
Developer's interest costs are higher, the potential for'excess revenue' flowing down to the City
(by way of the waterfall) is reduced. The City has a vested interest in having interest costs as low
as possible.
Another way to look at this is that the Development Agreement originally anticipated that short
term debt would be issued during the construction phase for each Block. That short term debt
was to be refunded in year 5, with a 10 year optional call, meaning that in year 15 it could be
Memo re. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Crawford Hoying
October 15, 2018
Page 5 of 10
refinanced without penalty. Since the developer has been able to secure advantageous long term
financing prior to construction, allowing for a 15 year call protection period maintains the overall
refinancing opportunity the same as originally contemplated, while allowing the developer to
reduce interest costs.
Revenue Waterfalls
The proposed amendment modifies the TIF and NCA revenue waterfall solely for Block D and the
Public Market by creating a new waterfall that requires the 0.5% retail sales charge to be collected
from retail tenants in Bridge Park and creates a funding mechanism for the operating and
maintenance reserve for the Public Market. This waterfall also dedicates 100% of any excess
revenue after funding the operating and maintenance reserve to paying down the Block D debt
more quickly (currently the Development Agreement provides that 50% of excess revenue is to be
used for this accelerated pay -down). This accelerated pay -down creates a more efficient bond
structure. While the City will likely have to wait a few additional years before receiving any excess
revenue from Block D, because the debt will be repaid more quickly, there is less interest cost and
the City should receive more excess revenue overall.
Question: For clarity, the sales tax funds are to cover any operating or maintenance "deficits"
resulting from running the not-for-profit North Market. The sales tax funds would not be used for
either maintenance or for operations of the areas of the Block D building/area. Is this correct?
Response: The sales tax charge are only committed to Block D debt service for the public market,
garage and roadways (all combined in the bond issue) and C&M for the public market.
Question: Are the (if any) "excess funds" used to pay down all of the Block D debt, or just the
debt related to the North Market designated area?
Response: Any excess revenues generated can be used to pay down the Block D debt (public
portion — parking garage/public market/public roadways)
Question: During the last meeting (September 24, 2018 Council Meeting regarding the Public
Market), it was stressed that no excess funds will likely be generated from operations (hence the
need for the not-for-profit status). Nelson Yoder indicated that this water -fall provision was not
the real need during his remarks to Council. He indicated that they would be willing to not ask for
this provision (if I understood his remarks correctly). If this is the case, what would be the reason
that Dublin would choose to remove itself from this provision in the funding mechanism? If no
benefit will accrue to either party, why make this change the agreement?
Response: It was not clear to Staff what Mr. Yoder was referring to in his waterfall remarks on
September 24. In Staff's most recent discussion with the Developers legal counsel and financial
advisor, they indicated that a turbo structure is necessary for the Block D bonds to amortize given
the reductions in revenue that occur once County compensation and additional School
compensation payments begin in year 15. The waterfall needs to be revised to accommodate this
structure (for just Block D).

Dublin and Crawford Hoying
October 15, 2018
Page 6 of 10
Question: While Council understood that the City did not expect any revenue from Block D, they
requested what was anticipated as part of the original financing plan/assumptions used at the time
the original DA was executed.
Response: The pro forma that was used as the basis for the original DA estimated that for Block
D, the excess revenue that would come to the City over the 30 -year period would total
approximately $6.0 million. The most recent pro formas, reflecting the change in the waterfall as
well as the turbo bond structure, reflects approximately $11.7 million in excess revenue to the City.
This increase is largely attributable to an increase in taxable square footage, as well as a change in
the type of development (for example, the original DA anticipated apartments valued at $110/sf
whereas the new plan calls for for -sale condos at $230/sf).
Issuance Costs
The Development Agreement currently contains a 2% limitation on public improvement debt
issuance costs for each debt issue. As originally proposed, the City and Developer anticipated
short term construction debt with 2% cost of issuance, with long-term debt to refinance the
construction debt issued at project stabilization (approximately 3-5 years later) with another 2%
cost of issuance, for a total of 4% costs of issuance for each public improvement project. The
Developer has been able to secure long term debt for each of the previous debt issues, and
anticipates doing so for the remaining Blocks, and has requested a 3.5% limitation on issuance
costs for any such long-term debt, which will provide a 0.5% savings on issuance costs versus the
anticipated costs of issuance at the time of the original Development Agreement.
There were no follow-up questions related to the Issuance Costs.
Release of Developer Obligation to Pay Make -Whole Premium
When the bonds were issued for Block A projects (the garage next to the hotel and the events
center), they were sold with what is known as a "make -whole premium", which could require the
Finance Authority to pay a premium if the City required that the bonds be refinanced in the future.
The Developer proposed this structure in order to obtain better interest rates for the bonds. The
Administration agreed that this make -whole premium could be used to obtain the better interest
rates, provided that the Developer agree to pay any make whole premium should the City require
that the bonds be refinanced in the future. The Administration further agreed with the Developer
to study the positive financial impact of the make -whole premium and, if the Administration agreed
with the Developer's assessment as to the positive impact of the make -whole premium,
recommend to Council that the Developer be released from its obligation to pay any make -whole
premium in the future. The Administration has since consulted with its financial advisors and
determined that the make -whole premium most likely resulting in lower interest rates for the Block
A bonds, and those lower rates likely outweighed the cost of the make -while premium (which
would be in the form of speculative savings from a hypothetical refinancing of the bonds occurring
10 or more years in the future).
Question: This statement is too complex for me to explain to a resident. Can you please explain
in another way or provide an example or two.
Memo re. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Crawford Hoying
October 15, 2018
Page 7 of 10
Response: The make -whole provision is difficult to understand. The way the original DA was
written, any debt issued shall have optional redemption at par plus accrued interest at 10 -years. A
make -whole provision permits a borrower to redeem a bond prior to maturity by making a lump -
sum payment equal to the present value of future interest payments that would not otherwise be
paid as a result of the early call.
In this case, the purchaser of the bonds necessitated this make -whole provision in order to get the
long-term financing at the onset at a reasonable rate of 6% for the taxable bonds. Otherwise, the
potential purchasers were asking for interest rates in excess of 7% to include the 10yr par call on
the taxable debt. Block A revenue could not support such a rate. In order for the make -whole
provision to have a negative impact to City excess funds, the Block A bonds would have to be
refinanced with an interest rate of less than 4.25%, which is less than what is available under
current market conditions. As the City's financial advisor mentioned at the last Council meeting,
long term rates are expected to rise. Staff believes that the make -whole call is ultimately a
financial benefit to the City and does not believe the Developer should be penalized for obtaining
advantageous financing.
Question: What is an estimated dollar amount of any potential financial risk and/or cost to the
City of this proposed change — if borrowing/bond rates increase over time, if rates decrease over
time?
Response: By achieving a 6% rate on the taxable debt (vs. 7% if it had to include the par call in
year 10), Crawford Hoying was able to save approximately $160,000 per year in interest cost
(approximately $16.2 million in taxable bonds were issued). That amount would have been saved
annually for at least 10 years until the hypothetical call date. We of course cannot know what the
interest rate environment will be in 10 years but, as noted above, the current rate environment is
one of the most favorable ever, and there would not be any savings (i.e. more City excess) if the
same interest rate exists in 10 years. If rates are higher in 10 years, the debt would not be called.
The par call only provides savings in the event interest rates are much lower and the debt can be
refinanced at a lower rate. Crawford Hoying had a bird in the hand with at least a 1% interest
rate savings at the onset.
Simply put, the change will require the make -whole premium (if any) to be funded from the
existing Block A cash flows instead of from the Developer. As treasury rates go up, the make -
whole goes down. As rates go down, the make whole amount goes up. If the bonds are not
called, the make whole is not paid. If the bonds are called, the make -whole is paid (if any) but
that would only happen if here were other financial savings to offset that cost.
Question: What value/benefit accrues to the City and to the Developer of this modification to the
agreement?
Response: The release of this make -whole provision is the result of negotiations of all of the DA
modifications together. A make -whole is a premium paid to call or pay-off existing bonds early.
Normally, the premium is paid from new bond proceeds as part of a refinancing. The make -whole
premium is not paid unless there is a financial benefit to doing so. For example, if the outstanding
bonds could be refinanced for savings, the Developer and City would want that to happen. It is our
opinion that it benefits all parties to lock in a lower interest rate from the onset as opposed to at
Memo re. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Crawford Hoying
October 15, 2018

some point in the future. The City team felt that we received other benefits from the proposed
modifications, such as the change in the bed tax (recognizing the 35% payable to the DCVB versus
25%) as well as the increased bond coverage from 115% to 120%, making this a reasonable
request.
Bed Tax Grant
The Development Agreement provides for a bed tax grant in an amount equal to 25% of the bed
taxes generated from the H2 Hotel and any hotels within the Bridge Park project, after deducting
the 25% bed tax contribution to the Dublin Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Subsequent to the
Development Agreement, Council increased this contribution to 35%. Since the City cannot deduct
the entire 35% contribution when calculating the grant, the 10% difference due to the Convention
and Visitor's Bureau must be paid out of bed tax dollars that the City would otherwise retain for
other programming. The Administration has requested, and the Developer has agreed, to increase
the deduction to 35% for hotels other than the H2 hotel and the AC Marriott (which cannot be
reduced at this time since the grant funded by bed taxes from those hotels is pledged to repay the
Block A bonds).
There were no follow-up questions related to the Bed Tax Grant.
General Questions
Question: I have received questions from a couple residents about the North Market and the
finance/cost to the City (based on newspaper article). I would like to be able to provide a brief
overview. Can you please put together a summary paragraph that states the "why we are
doing/exploring this' and the "the benefits and costs to the City of Dublin" of the North Market
concept and the proposed changes to the Development agreement to make this happen that
Council members could share with residents when asked.
Response: The exploration of the Public Market concept by the developer occurred after its many
discussions with prospective traditional grocery store operators. These discussions included a
range of types and sizes of operators, but in the end, no economically viable lease arrangement
could be agreed upon. Grocery stores and supermarkets in Central Ohio are generally paying very
low rent and serve as primary anchors of community shopping centers. Mixed-use buildings with
structured parking facilities add significantly to the complexity and cost of accommodating more
conventional grocers. After vetting all traditional grocery options, and needing to advance its
planning and development of Block D, Crawford Hoying reached out to the North Market to
determine if there was interest in locating such a facility within Bridge Park.
From the City's perspective, the inclusion of some type of grocer or market operation has long
been viewed as a very desirable addition to both Bridge Park and the Bridge Street District. A
major goal of the Bridge Street District is to provide a mix of uses that will help "capture" trips
within the District that would otherwise be putting folks in cars and out onto our arterial and major
collector roadways. Trips to grocery stores are relatively frequent in nature, so being able to
capture some portion of those trips within this walkable district by the residents, workers and
visitors who are already there will help achieve this objective. It also adds another important
amenity to the dynamic mix of uses in Bridge Park that adds to the quality of life and will make it
even more attractive to residents, employers and visitors. This "value added" activity helps
preserve and enhance the real estate values within the project, which in turn enhances the
Memo re. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement between the City of
Dublin and Crawford Hoying

economic viability of the various economic development financing tools that are being utilized
within the development. The growing focus on more locally sourced foods and wellness, especially
among the young professionals that are such a key focus of our local company's economic
success, is another key benefit.
The operators of the North Market made it very clear that many projects and communities have
requested that they consider bringing a version of the North Market to their
project/community. The unique combination of assets that Dublin's Bridge Park development
provides (density, walkability, accessibility, dynamic mix of uses, etc.) has provided the only
opportunity where North Market operators believe the concept is both feasible and desirable. As
has been the case with the many restaurants that have been (and are being) located within Bridge
Park, a new Public Market would provide a truly unique asset and amenity that would serve the
entire Dublin Community.
One of the other key benefits to the proposed Public Market concept is that it creates no financial
risk nor requires any financial investment from the City of Dublin. The Market is in effect self-
funded by new charges that are imposed upon and generated by the Bridge Park businesses
themselves.
Question: What is the impact of the market on the surrounding areas?
Response: The City Manager will be personally engaging in discussions with businesses in Historic
Dublin to get their sense of the impact of the Public Market on their businesses. He will share the
results of these discussions with City Council at the October 22 Council meeting.
While there have been some businesses within Historic Dublin that have gone out of business,
there is also indication that due to business -to -business association, as well as increased activity in
the area (as a result of there being more offerings to residents and visitors), some existing
businesses have benefited.
Question: Section 4 of Exhibit E (Application of Service Payments and NCA Revenues), part of the
original DA, seems to have a number of'If statements not followed by any'Then' statements
(page 166 of 241 of the electronic Council packet for the October 8 meeting).
Response: This section provides the application of service payments and NCA revenue from
Blocks A, F, G, H and Z. While there is no'Then' in priorities 1 and 2, there are "to" statements,
which is normal language for revenue waterfalls for public financings. The intent is that if there
are service payments collected pursuant to the applicable reference, then the amount will be
payable to Franklin County (in Section 4 (1)) and to Dublin City School District and the Tolles
Career and Technical Center (in Section 4 (2)).
Other Information
Staff has included as "Exhibit A" a copy of a study conducted in 2016 titled "Economic and
Tax Impacts of the North Market" for Council's review. A link to the study is listed below.

• Noted below is information related to the original North Market, as found on their website.
North Market is more than a place to purchase high-quality specialty foods. It is a social
gathering point, a place of civic pride, a living example of community of small, owner -
operated businesses adding to the vibrant economic climate of our city. While the North
Market is retail in nature, it is guided by 'public goals. "Attracting shoppers to downtown,
providing affordable retail opportunities for small businesses, and preserving local farming
and farmland are all community benefits. Additionally, The Market creates a safe, in viting,
and lively public space in our city. The byproduct of North Market is helping stimulate local
economies by providing the opportunity for entrepreneurs to get a start in business; this is
of particular benefit to women, minorities, and individuals of ethnic origin. In a challenging
urban retail environment, The Market continues to provide a relevant and energizing
shopping experience. North Market brings together a diverse group of both merchants and
shoppers while contributing to the "social fabric "of our city.
Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council approve Ordinance No. 70-18 at the second reading/public hearing
on Monday, October 22, 2018.

Rem. Ordinance No. 70-18 — Amending the Bridge Park Development Agreement
between the City of Dublin and Crawford Hoying
That said, it is rather remarkable that with over $250 million of private development investments
having been made toward the implementation of the Bridge Park project, and with millions of
square feet of new buildings and extensive public 'Infrastructure having been built, the original
terms of the Development Agreement have served the parties so well, without any needed
amendments until now.
The following is a brief summary of each proposed amendmentf why it is proposed, and the
projected impacts. It is important to note that the amendments do not create any new financiai
obligations or risk to the City.
Roadwa Immovements
The roadway grid within Bridge Park has changed from the grid originally described in the
Development Agreement as development plans for each Block have been finalized. The
Amendment updates the Development Agreement to reflect these changes, all of which have been
previously approved by Council as part of the development review process.

The amendment also extends the date of the earliest permitted optional redemption date from 1#
years to 15 years for taxable debt. This is in response to current debt market conditions. There
are fewer buyers for taxable debt with a 10 -year optional redemption date, resulting in higher
interest rates. Extending the earliest optional redemption date to 15 years avoids higher interest
rates without imposing other financial burdens on the City.

Also, the addition of such a use within Bridge Park will provide the precise type of desired service
and amenity that will help preserve and enhance the desirability of living and working in this area
into the future (helping to protect and enhance property values over time). Also, the Market will
provide a year-round venue for local growers, butchers, bakers and other artisans, much like the
City has sought on a seasonal basis with 'Its Farmers' Market.
To Crawford Hoying's credit, they have developed an approach to provide a significant, well -
adapted space to accommodate such a Market within a parking structure, and to help fund the
out of this space, its start-up and other related costs via a sales charge levied only on Bridge Park's
retail tenants (and without any meaningful financial impact on the City). Additionally, space that
was originally planned for grocery and in more square footage is now going to be office space.
After much consideration and as discussed above, the Administration believes the Public Market, as
proposed, meets the desired intent of a "Community Facility" and recommends City Council
approve the proposed amendment to the Bridge Park Development Agreement via Ordinance No.
70-18.

The proposed Public Market includes approximately 34,000 square feet of floor space and is
located in the ground floor of the Block D Garage, on Longshore Street between hiller Ridge
Drive and John Shields Parkway. The Public Market will be operated by a non-profit entity and
be similar in operations and business model to the North Market located in the City of Columbus
ONO.

1. The primary sales of food, typically including meat, fish, dairy, produce, baked goods,
unique beverages, prepared foods, but also sales of other von -food items made by local
artisans.

operate seasonally one day per week.
3. Collection of independent, small businesses that are owner operated on site daily.
4. Fulfilling a public purpose beyond sales of food and other goods; it provides residents an
experience and public gathering place which is a civic resource to all.
