Mr. Trevino noted staff will move forward on parking management and reissue the <br />RFQ for the 3rd and Broadway site. <br />A. YMCA PROPERTY— DISCUSSION OF RFQ SUBMITTALS AND NEXT STEPS <br />Muriel Ullman, Consultant, provided background information on the YMCA RFQ <br />process and presented the Committee with a RFQ Short List that listed the type of <br />proposal, brief description /highlights, experience of developer and financial <br />capacity. Ms. Ullman noted from the seven proposals received, staff reviewed and <br />evaluated each one based on criteria and came up with the three developments in <br />each category. The first proposal for Housing Development #1 proposes two <br />development scenarios: affordable housing for low income households and Single <br />Room Occupancy Program units for chronically homeless and high risk population <br />adding the developer has extensive historic renovation experience and housing <br />throughout Southern California and has experience in developing financials. The <br />second proposal for Commercial Development #2 proposes a medical facility <br />called a multi - purpose health, wellness and learning center, employee health, <br />partnering with local non-profit for vocational training noting it would be a single <br />user tenant/owner operator. The third proposal for Hotel Development #3 <br />proposes a boutique hotel, multi- purpose event center, historic arts display and <br />archive collection adding the developer has developed many buildings in the area <br />and is financially secure. Ms. Ullman noted the three organizations are qualified <br />adding staff does not feel the need to send out a Request for Proposals, noted the <br />last step with the Committee's approval is requesting a financial pro forma which <br />will then be analyzed by the financial consultant and interviews conducted and <br />come back to the Council with a recommendation. <br />Mr. Trevino noted the process was to narrow the list based on the criteria, <br />interview the teams and make a recommendation that the Council enter into an <br />exclusive right to negotiate with the team either the second meeting in February or <br />first meeting in March. <br />Vice Chair Martinez stated the Committee has not seen any of the proposals <br />adding the process has been driven by staff and the only information they were <br />provided with is what was based on the short list, noted support of requesting <br />financial pro forma, and asked for a timeline of the process. <br />Committee member Benavides noted the previous discussion by the Committee <br />after receiving the RFQ's to invite ULI to conduct Mini -TAPS for both the 3rd and <br />Broadway structure and YMCA building, adding the Mini -TAP was conducted for <br />the 3rd and Broadway structure but the YMCA was tabled, noted the benefits and <br />value of conducting a Mini -TAP for the YMCA building. <br />Mr. Trevino noted if the Committee is interested in conducting a Mini -TAP for the <br />YMCA staff will be supportive and schedule. <br />Vice Chair Martinez commented on the difference between both properties and <br />noted she would not support conducting a second Mini -TAP for the YMCA building. <br />Development & Transp.
