Commissioner Keenan seconded the motion. <br />Motion passed 4-0. <br />B. Authorize Signature - Met Council Grant Agreement Amendment - Block 16 <br />Metropolitan Council has agreed to extend the grant agreement to fund construction of <br />the Block 16 Red Rock Commuter Parking lot until December 31, 2012. <br />The Commission is asked to Authorize Signature of the 1st Amendment to the Grant <br />Agreement. <br />Commissioner Keena motioned to approve Authorization of Signature of Agreement. <br />Commissioner Kelley seconded the motion. <br />Motion passed 4-0. <br />V. <br />R&I <br />EPORTSNFORMATION <br />A. Hudson redevelopment - Reuse Plan Discussion <br />The Commission discussed the recent findings of the Hudson Reuse Study conducted <br />by Stark Preservation. The Commission agrees that before anything can be done with <br />the Hudson site the market needs to be tested for variables and feasibility. <br />Also the Commission suggested that the Heart of Hastings plan be reexamined and <br />determine what the Community “wants”to do and what the “vision” isfor the site. <br />The Commission also understands, and wants the public to understand, that most <br />importantly everyone needs to bepatientwith this project. This is a huge site and a <br />great opportunity for the community. HEDRA doesn’t wantto just rush into things <br />unprepared. <br />HEDRA agreed that the first step most likely will be for the Commission toconsider <br />demolishingthe 1974 portion of the facility soonerrather than later based on the <br />understanding that this portion of the building holds no historic value or other value to <br />the site.A benefit of demolishing the 1974 addition nowwould be that the site could <br />then bepreparedto “show off”during any event surrounding the construction of the <br />new bridge. <br />The Commissioners also agreed that holdingonto the 1946 addition fornow and not <br />making any decision on keeping or demolishing it until a developer is on board would <br />be in the projects best interest. This way the developer is the one thatismakingthe <br />decisionsbased on actual market tests and feasibility studies. <br />The Commissioners agreed that HEDRAand the City brought the property into public <br />ownership so that more funding opportunities would be available. <br />HEDRA Chair Toppin suggested the Commissionschedule a workshop in mid- <br />February to discuss Hudson concepts as well as next steps with the marketing plan. <br />B. Hudson - Environmental Update <br />Everything is on track to be ready for spring environmental grant deadlines. <br />
