Resolution 15-2006 Establishing Certain Funds and Accounts in Connection with the Lease Dated as of July I, 2006, between the City of Carmel Redevelopment Commission and the City of Carmel Redevelopment Authority Relating to the Authority's County Option Income Tax Lease Rental Revenue Bonds, Series 2006, Pledging Certain Revenues to makeLease Rental Payments under such Lease,and other Related Matters Mr. Hammer moved for approval of Resolution 15-2006. Seconded by Mr. Worrell and unanimously approved. Report from Architects and Engineers Mr. MOliarity presented a proposed site plan for the performing arts center mechanicals. The recommendation is that a separate building be placed south of the garage area on Parcel 7 ancl have the mechanicals serve both the theater and the PAC. Piping of chilled water and steam would be placed along the Monon Trail. The equipment is moclular so more could be added later if needed. An additional advantage, besides cost savings, would be that construction on this building could start sooner than the PAC and be ready to go as soon as needed in the PAC. The emergency generator for the PAC would also be located in this building. Duke Energy will be asked to move the utility boxes underground at the comer of City Center Drive and Third A venue SW. Discussion followed. Different suggestions were made for making the building attractive, especially on the east side which fronts on the Monon. The noise abatement was also discussed. Mr. Sharp suggested that as Mr. Moriarity brings suggestions to the CRC, absent any objections at that time from members, that he has approval to continue. I CRC Minules. Augus,22, 2006, 7:00,p,m.
