Councilor Justin Costa/Chair Next Meeting Date: April 3, 2018 CITY OF PORTLAND/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPT./389 CONGRESS ST./PORTLAND, ME 04101/(207) 874-8683  Minutes Economic Development Committee March 6, 2018 A meeting of the Economic Development Committee (EDC) of the Portland City Council was held on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 209 of Portland City Hall. Present from the Committee was its Chair Councilor Justin Costa and members Councilors Nicholas Mavodones and Spencer Thibodeau (arriving soon after meeting started as noted herein). Also present from the City Council was Mayor Ethan Strimling. Present from the City staff were Public Facilities Director Kathy Alves, Associate Corporation Counsel Michael Goldman, City Manager Jon Jennings, Economic Development Director Greg Mitchell, and Senior Executive Assistant Lori Paulette. Chair Costa said that the City has been working to livestream Council Committee meetings, and this meeting is the first livestream of any Council Committee. Chair Costa also noted that the Committee has one public item, followed by an executive session for four items, at which time the livestream will be closed. Item #1: Review and accept Minutes of previous meeting held on February 20, 2018. On motion made by Councilor Mavodones, seconded by Chair Costa, the Committee voted unanimously (2-0) to accept the Minutes as presented. Item #2: Public Hearing and vote to recommend to the City Council a Purchase and Sale Agreement and City Lease back for 44 Hanover Street. Mr. Mitchell said that this is last piece of Bayside Public Works properties to be placed under Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) and City Lease back until construction is done at Canco Road to relocate current operations. Mr. Mitchell also noted that the City had Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) done, and those have been shared with the buyer. The 1 property is being sold “as is”. Mr. Mitchell then described the terms and conditions of both Agreements, and Mr. Watson’s proposed development projects. Ms. Alves added that she is confident that construction at Canco Road for this relocation would be done by September 2019. (Councilor Thibodeau joined the meeting at this time.) Mayor Strimling asked for clarification on the rent credit, and Mr. Mitchell explained that it is related to the timing of the closing and the amount of time the City needed to complete construction and relocate. Chair Costa noted that this works together with the City and the purchaser. Mayor Strimling asked about the subdivision referred to in Section 10(a) of the PSA, and Mr. Mitchell said that his Department is currently in the process of obtaining Subdivision Approval from the Planning Board, scheduled for March 13th, to subdivide 82 Hanover, 44 Hanover, and 55 Portland Street into three parcels, after which closings could occur. Mayor Strimling said it would be helpful to have a chart showing the status of all the Public Works properties under PSA, and Mr. Jennings said that the chart will be updated for the Council. Mayor Strimling then referred to p. 15 of 35, particularly, “In addition, if Buyer determines that interest rates or community demand for the use of the Premises change . . . Buyer may request the City’s approval of such changes.” He asked if the Buyer can make changes with City administration or City Council approval. Mr. Goldman said that if the changes are non- substantive, City administration can approve; if substantive, they would be brought back to this Committee and the City Council. 2  Chair Costa said that if staff had any gray area at that time, it should come back to the Committee and Council. Councilor Thibodeau suggested that “may” be changed to “shall”. Mayor Strimling asked if there was a buy back provision, and Mr. Mitchell indicated that there not a buy back provision. Mayor Strimling expressed concern about giving up site for commercial rather than housing, noting that the zoning allows for at least 136 units. Chair Costa opened the meeting for public comment. George Rheault of Bayside looked forward to the chart showing the status of the Public Works Bayside properties. He questioned why the City was now negotiating with Tom Watson versus the staff recommendation to negotiate with Harold Pachios. Mr. Rheault asked about Kathy Alves’ role in this, as her title is Port Director, rather than Chris Branch. Lastly, he expressed concern with Lancaster Court remaining a public amenity, noting there is no Exhibit B in the packet, and that Section 12(f) is not clear and that Mr. Watson should be the controlling person. See no further public comment, Chair Costa closed public comment. Councilor Mavodones made a motion to forward the PSA and Lease Agreement to the City Council with a recommendation for approval in substantial form as presented, noting to change “may” to “shall” in the last sentence of section 12(b); Councilor Thibodeau seconded the motion. Regarding Lancaster Court, Mr. Mitchell said that this public street was discontinued but a public easement has been retained for public access. There will be no building on this easement area. 3  Mr. Jennings said that with regard to staff’s recommendation to negotiate with Harold Pachios, the Committee directed staff to negotiate with Tom Watson. Mr. Jennings also noted that he requested Public Facilities Manager Kathy Alves to lead this effort for the physical relocation of Public Works, as she has been with City long before Chris Branch came onboard and was, and has been, involved in this project. Mayor Strimling expressed concern about housing development not occurring at the site, suggesting to put it out to bid again for housing even if the City would have to give it away. Councilor Mavodones that there has been nine public meetings for this project, and he is pleased to support this item. Mr. Jennings noted a past RFP for 65 Hanover/52 Alder Street with one response to buy it for $1.00, and, because of significant environmental issues, the sale did not close. Councilor Thibodeau thanked staff for all their work on getting these properties to Purchase and Sale Agreement. At the time of placing these properties on the market, the City asked for bidders to be creative with these properties. The City now has some housing being created, as well as mixed uses providing for creative reuses of the properties. Mr. Jennings said that he would like to thank past EDC Committee Chair Councilor Brenerman during 2017 in leading this project. Chair Costa agreed, and thanked staff as well. This will revitalize the neighborhood and makes sense on many levels. Housing on the site, however, does not make economic sense. Mr. Goldman noted that with regard to Lancaster Court, there may be a request to disallow vehicles on that area and allow pedestrians only, which would require Council approval. Seeing no further discussion, Chair Costa asked for a vote on the motion and it passed unanimously. 4  Mayor Strimling noted that although he is not a member of the Committee, he did not support the motion. Item #3: Discuss Draft 2018 Work Plan for the Economic Development Committee (Mr. Jennings left the meeting at this time.) Mr. Mitchell said that the Work Plan has been redrafted into two categories – short term during 2018, and long term – 2019 and beyond, noting that this would help in the Council goal setting session. Chair Costa said that he would share this information with the facilitator for that session. Mayor Strimling noted that the facilitator was looking for three new things from each Committee, and discussion took place whether this Committee has three new things as it still needs to work on the Eastern Waterfront items, for one. Also, during the goal setting session, prior to formal City Council goals being set, the items can be further debated. Item #4: Executive sessions: Pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. 405(6)(C), the Committee will go into executive session to discuss real estate negotiations and provide guidance to staff for the following: a. Proposed Amendment to Ready Seafood Lease (see enclosed memo and backup) b. Proposed Amendments to the Bay Ferries, Ltd. Lease (see enclosed memo and backup); c. Proposed sale of City owned Riverside Street property (see enclosed memo and backup); and, d. Proposed Waterfront TIF District Credit Enhancement Agreement request (backup to be handed out at meeting) Chair Costa said that this concludes the public session and live streaming as the Committee will be going to executive session at this time. Mayor Strimling questioned 4(d) as to why the applicant for the CEA was not named. 5  Mr. Goldman said that he felt the City was not obligated to name the applicant and would also like to discuss this further with Corporation Counsel West-Chuhta. Chair Costa said to err on the side caution now and keep it as it is, and this would be clarified at the next meeting. After discussion, Councilor Thibodeau made a motion to suspend the Rules and allow public comment for all four items at one time. Councilor Mavodones seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. George Rheaault noted that on the City website it has Kathy Alves’ title as Maritime Manager. Regarding 4(d), this needs specificity for the public. See no further public comment, Chair Costa closed the public comment session. Chair Costa said that staff will be reviewing whether specificity is needed as noted earlier. #4(a): Proposed Ready Seafood Lease Amendment Councilor Mavodones then made a motion to go into executive session pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. 405(6)(C) to discuss lease negotiations and provide guidance to staff for proposed amendments to the Ready Seafood Lease. Councilor Thibodeau seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously at 6:41 p.m. At 7:09, the Committee came out of executive session. Mayor Strimling requested that item 4(d) be taken up next as he has another meeting to go at 7:30. #4(d) Proposed Waterfront TIF District Credit Enhancement Agreement Request Councilor Thibodeau then made a motion to go into executive session pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. 405(6)(C) to discuss negotiations for a proposed Waterfront TIF District Credit Enhancement Agreement. Councilor Mavodones seconded the motion, and the motion passed 6 unanimously at 7:10 p.m. At 7:45 p.m., the Committee came out of executive session, and Mayor Strimling left the meeting. #4(b): Proposed Amendments to the Bay Ferries, Ltd. Lease Councilor Mavodones then made a motion to go into executive session pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. 405(6)(C) to discuss lease negotiations and provide guidance to staff for proposed amendments to the Bay Ferries, Ltd., Lease. Councilor Thibodeau seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously at 7:45 p.m. At 7:57 p.m., the Committee came out of executive session. #4(c): Proposed sale of City owned Riverside Street Property Councilor Thibodeau then made a motion to go into executive session pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. 405(6)(C) to discuss real estate sale negotiations for City-owned property on Riverside Street. Councilor Mavodones seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously at 7:57 p.m. At 8:10 p.m., the Committee came out of executive session, and the meeting was then adjourned.

The rent set forth in this paragraph does not include utility charges, which are addressed in paragraph 5 of the Lease.

Tenant, with Landlord’s cooperation, will engage the services of a contractor or contractors to perform the Pier Repair Work in one or more projects. Tenant shall not commence any Pier Repair Work project without the Director’s prior written approval. At any time prior to, during, or after completion of a Pier Repair Work project, Tenant, at Landlord’s request, will provide Landlord with documentation related to the Pier Repair Work in form and substance satisfactory to the Director, including, without limitation, any related estimates, proposals, contracts, plans, specifications, diagrams, invoices, proof of payment of invoices, and mechanic’s lien waivers from Tenant’s 4 of 41 contractors and subcontractors (“Pier Repair Work Documentation”). Upon review and approval of applicable Pier Repair Work Documentation, the City will apply the Rent Credit to rent due in the months following completion of a Pier Repair Work project until the Rent Credit has been fully applied. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to be, or shall be deemed a waiver of, the Landlord’s right to enforce the Tenant’s obligations to maintain, repair, and replace elements of the Premises, the Common Areas, and the POT as set forth in section 10 of the Lease. Tenant understands that in any contract for any work on the POT, Tenant will include the following provisions: Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Contractor will procure and maintain occurrence-based Automobile Liability Insurance, Commercial General Liability Insurance (including completed operations coverage for at least 24 months after completion of the work), for bodily injury, death and property damage, and Pollution Liability Insurance coverage in amounts of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence, naming the City as an additional insured thereon, and also Workers’ Compensation Insurance coverage to the extent required by law. With respect to the Automobile and Commercial General Insurance, the Contractor shall name the City as an additional insured for coverage only in those areas where government immunity has been expressly waived by 14 M.R.S. A. § 8104-A, as limited by § 8104-B, and § 8111. This provision shall not be deemed a waiver of any defenses, immunities or limitations of liability or damages available to the City under the Maine Tort Claims Act, other Maine statutory law, judicial precedent, common law, or any other defenses, immunities or limitations of liability available to the City. Prior to execution of this Agreement, the Contractor shall furnish the City and thereafter maintain certificates evidencing all such coverages, which certificates shall guarantee thirty (30) days' notice to the City of termination of insurance from the insurance provider or agent. Contractor shall also provide a copy of any endorsement naming the City as additional insured. A certificate that merely has a box checked under "Addl Insr," or the like, or that merely states the City of Portland is named as an Additional Insured, will not be acceptable. The Workers’ Compensation insurance shall include an endorsement waiving all rights of subrogation against the City of Portland, its officers or employees. Contractor shall be responsible for any and all deductibles and/or self-insured retentions. City’s acceptance or lack of acceptance of Contractor’s Certificate of Insurance or other evidence of insurance shall not be construed as a waiver of the Contractor’s obligation to obtain and maintain such insurance as required by this agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers and employees, from and against all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, just or unjust, including, but not limited to, the costs of defense and attorney's fees arising out of or resulting from the performance of this Agreement, provided that any such claims, damage, loss or expense (1) is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury 5 of 41  to or destruction of tangible property, including the loss of use therefrom, and (2) is caused in whole or in part by any act or omission of the Contractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by it, or anyone for whose act it may be liable. Such obligation of indemnification shall not be construed to negate or abridge any other obligation of indemnification running to the City which otherwise exists. The extent of the indemnification provision shall not be limited by the provision for insurance in this Agreement. Contractor’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. 7. Section 6 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: Landlord shall provide Tenant, during the term of this Amended and Restated Lease Agreement, the use of five (5) angled passenger vehicle parking spaces and four (4) box truck parking spaces located on the west side of the wooden portion of the Common Areas. The five passenger vehicle parking spaces are for short-term/turnover use by Tenant, its customers, and vendors during the day and evening, and for Tenant employee parking at night. Further, Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord at any time to relocate any passenger vehicles and trucks to allow the Common Areas to service Compass Park activities and other City needs. The City reserves the right to re-locate all parking spaces to a reasonably convenient alternative location selected by the City at any time during the term of this Lease. 8. The following is added to the Lease as section 14(a)(iv): “Pollution Liability Insurance - $2,000,000 per occurrence.” 9. The following is added to the end of Section 14(c) of the Lease: Contractor shall be responsible for any and all deductibles and/or self-insured retentions. City’s acceptance or lack of acceptance of Contractor’s Certificate of Insurance or other evidence of insurance shall not be construed as a waiver of the Contractor’s obligation to obtain and maintain such insurance as required by this agreement. 10. Section 17(b) of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: In the event Landlord terminates this Agreement for its convenience prior to the Rent Credit being fully applied, the Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the outstanding balance of the Rent Credit provided that Tenant has provided documentation satisfactory to the Landlord for the Pier Repair Work. 11. Any and all terms of the Lease not herein amended shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of the Lease as amended hereby and are hereby ratified. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Lease and any exhibits thereto, the terms of this Amendment shall govern and control so long as this Amendment is in effect. 6 of 41  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives or officers, as of the date first written above.

If required by the US Coast Guard, Tenant shall create its own Facility Security Plan. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, claims, and demands, including reasonable counsel fees, which may arise directly out of Tenant's (including its officers, volunteers and employees) failure to comply with the covenants of this paragraph, and such failure shall be deemed a default under this Agreement. d.

Landlord uses: Landlord reserves the right to permit other parties to use the Common Areas and the remainder of the POT warehouse (other than the Interior Space) during the term of this Amended and Restated Lease and thereafter, so long as such use does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises and Common Areas by Tenant as permitted or required by this Amended and Restated Lease. d. Tenant agrees to work with the Landlord to coordinate Tenant’s use of the Premises and Common Areas with other tenants and users of the POT, and Pier. e. Nothing herein is intended to create, nor shall it be deemed to be, a joint venture between the parties. 4. Rent.

At Tenant’s expense and with Landlord’s approval, a device, such as a derrick shall be installed at the southern end of the Pier. Tenant shall accept deliveries of lobsters by vessel at the southern end of the Pier, utilizing the derrick or similar device. The parties recognize that the southern end of the Pier represents the edge of the federal channel. Tenant shall insure that deliveries by vessel shall be expedient, such that delivery vessels are located at the southern end of the Pier for as short a period of time as possible during deliveries. When cruise ships are docked at the Pier, Tenant shall not have access to the southern end of the Pier to accept deliveries. On said cruise ship days, Tenant shall accept deliveries in the embayment located to the west of the POT. Subject to review and approval by Landlord, Tenant may install a derrick or similar device and a float to assist with deliveries in the embayment. Tenant shall not utilize the public landing located in the embayment for deliveries. 8. Tenant to Plow and Remove Snow.

POT Building and Pier Infrastructure Responsibility for Repairs and Maintenance; Tenant’s Acceptance Of Premises In “As Is” Condition. Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises and does hereby accept the Premises and Common Areas in their present “AS IS” condition as of the Effective Date. During the term of the Existing Lease, Tenant has, at its sole expense, maintained and made substantial repairs to the Premises, the Common Areas, Pier, and the portion of the POT building containing the Interior Space and the Interior Common Area. Tenant shall continue to maintain and repair, at its sole expense, the Premises, the Common Areas, and all interior, exterior, and structural portions of the POT building containing the Interior Space and the Interior Common Areas, including, without limitation, the plumbing, electrical, mechanical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in the building, but not including the roof or exterior walls. The Landlord shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of said exterior walls and roof, and Tenant shall make no alteration to them without the prior written consent of the Landlord. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, may conduct such inspections as are necessary to evaluate the structural integrity of the POT building and Pier to support Tenant’s use and shall report the results of any such inspections to Landlord. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall be responsible for maintaining, repairing, or replacing the Pier’s structural elements, including, without limitation, its pile caps, stringers, and decking, in order to support so much of Tenant’s use as is beyond those uses that would cause ordinary wear and tear. Landlord shall only be responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the Pier to the extent that the structural integrity has been jeopardized due to normal wear and tear, and not from any of Tenant’s operations causing greater than normal wear and tear. Landlord may enter any portion of the POT and Pier, including the Premises, to conduct inspections, maintenance, or repairs, but will only enter the Premises upon reasonable notice to Tenant at times and in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s on-going business activities. 11. Traffic Control. Tenant shall be responsible for managing truck access over the Pier to the Premises and Common Areas. In doing so, Tenant will work cooperatively with other POT tenants and the Casco Bay Lines to manage traffic and pedestrian congestion. Landlord will assist Tenant by removing illegally parked vehicles on a timely basis when requested to do so by Tenant or by any signatory to a Maine State Pier Tenant Operational Agreement. Tenant agrees to participate and work cooperatively with other POT tenants and the Casco Bay Lines to create such an operational agreement. 12 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, promptly observe and comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, requirements, orders, directives, rules and regulations of the 18 of 41 federal, state, and county and city governments, including the City Of Portland Facilities rules as they may be amended from time to time, and of all other governmental authorities, affecting the Premises or appurtenances thereto, while such laws or regulations are in force, regardless of when enacted. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, claims, and demands, including reasonable counsel fees, which may arise directly out of Tenant's failure to comply with the covenants of this Section, and such failure shall be deemed a default under this Agreement. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and licenses required for its use and occupancy of the POT at its own cost and expense. 13 Indemnification. a. General. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall at its own expense defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Landlord, its officers, agents, and employees from and against any and all liability, claims, damages, penalties, losses, expenses, or judgments, just or unjust, arising from injury or death to any person, or damage to property sustained by anyone (including but not limited to Landlord employees or property), including but not limited to claims based upon violation of any environmental law or regulation, except to the extent that such claims arise from a negligent act or omission of the Landlord, its officers, agents, servants or employees. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, defend any and all suits or actions, just or unjust, which may be brought against Landlord or in which Landlord may be impleaded with others upon any such above-mentioned matter, claim or claims, including claims of contractors, employees, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers. In cases in which Landlord is a party, Landlord shall have the right to participate at its own discretion and expense and no such suit or action shall be settled without prior written consent of Landlord. Such obligation of indemnity and defense shall not be construed to negate nor abridge any other right of indemnification or contribution running to Landlord which would otherwise exist. b. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby agrees to assume all risk of injury, harm or damage to any person or property (including but not limited to all risk of injury, harm or damage to Tenant's officers, agents, employees, contractors, customers or invitees or to their property) arising out of, during, or in connection with the rental or use of the POT warehouse property or any portion thereof and the activities hereunder which injury, harm or damage is alleged to be related to the presence of mold at or in the Premises, and to defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless from any such liability, claims, damages, losses or expenses. c. Covenant against liens: Tenant shall not cause or permit any lien against the Landlord’s property or any improvements thereto to arise out of or accrue from any action or use thereof by Tenant and shall hold the Landlord harmless therefrom; provided, however, that Tenant may in good faith contest the validity 19 of 41  of any alleged lien. Upon request of the Landlord, Tenant shall post a bond warranting payment of any such lien in the event Tenant contests such lien. d. Survival. The Terms of this Section shall expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 14. Insurance. a. Amounts. Without expense to the Landlord, and with no lapse in coverage, Tenant shall procure and maintain, at its own cost, and show evidence to the Landlord of the following insurance to protect the Landlord from claims and damages which may arise from Tenant’s operations under this Agreement, whether such operations shall be performed by the Tenant or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by it, in the types and minimum amounts set forth below: Description Coverage Each Occurrence (i) Commercial General Liability B.I./P.D. $1,000,000 (ii) Automobile Liability Insurance $ 400,000 (iii) Worker's Compensation Maine statutory amount b.

Each such policy shall provide that such policy may not be changed, altered or canceled by the insurer during its term without first giving thirty (30) days' notice in writing to the Landlord. Each liability policy required to be obtained hereunder shall be on an occurrence basis. In the event that policies are not available on an occurrence basis, Tenant shall purchase a “tail” which provides coverage hereunder for a minimum of six (6) years after termination of this Agreement. All policies required hereunder shall be primary to any insurance or self-insurance which Landlord may maintain for its own benefit. Liability insurance coverage shall also extend to damage, destruction, and injury to City-owned or City-leased property and City personnel, to the extent caused by, or resulting from negligent acts, operations, or omissions of Tenant, its officers, agents, employees, invitees, and/or contractors. 20 of 41 d. Certificates. Certificates or other evidence of insurance coverages required of Tenant in this Section, in amounts no less than those stipulated herein or as may be in effect from time-to-time, shall be delivered to the Landlord prior to use of the Premises. Such certificate or certificates shall at all times while this Agreement is in effect provide Landlord with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change or modification in insurance coverage or insurance carrier. 15. Assignment/Subletting. Tenant shall not sublease, transfer or assign this Agreement or the rights granted hereunder at any time during the term of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s discretion. No such assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of any obligations hereunder and any person accepting such assignment shall take the Agreement subject to all prior breaches and shall be liable therefore in the same manner as Tenant. 16. Casualty Damage. a. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other unavoidable casualty so that the same shall be thereby rendered unfit for use, then, and in such case, the Rent hereinabove stated or a just and proportional part thereof, according to the nature and extent of injuries sustained, shall be suspended or abated, until the Premises shall have been put in proper condition for use by Tenant. Provided, however, in the event of such destruction or damage, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving the other party written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, and upon the giving of such notice, the term of this Agreement shall cease and come to an end as of the date of such damage or destruction and any unearned rent shall be returned to Tenant. b. Tenant shall be responsible for covering the equipment and supplies with such property and casualty insurance as it deems necessary and Landlord shall have no responsibility therefor. Tenant assumes all risk of damage, loss or casualty to its property, equipment and/or supplies while located at the POT, even if the cause of such damage is the result of the negligent act or omission of Landlord, its officers or employees. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless from any claim based upon any damage, loss or casualty to its property, equipment and/or supplies while at the POT. Any casualty insurance obtained by Tenant for its property, equipment or supplies at POT shall include a waiver of subrogation against the Landlord. 17. Termination for Convenience or Cause. a. Either party may, in its discretion and for its convenience, terminate this Agreement upon no less than Thirty (30) days prior written notice to the non- terminating party. In the event of termination during a rental period, Landlord 21 of 41  will reimburse to Tenant the pro-rated amount paid in rent for any time period after the effective date of the termination; provided, however, that Tenant shall remain liable to pay any Rent accrued and owed for the time period prior to the effective date of termination. b. In the event Landlord terminates this Agreement for its convenience prior to the expiration date, the Landlord will reimburse Tenant for documented construction expenditures made by Tenant for the purposes of build-out, improvements, additions or installations to the Premises, made in 2013-2014 as part of the then expansion, but such reimbursement shall: (1) in no event shall exceed $375,000; and (2) such reimbursement shall be reduced over ten (10) years, on a straight-line basis, from the date of installation. c. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon no less than Thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice for failure of the non-terminating party to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In such event, the non-terminating party shall have the right to cure such default within the Thirty (30) day period, or in the case of default in any payment due hereunder, within Ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of such default. Such notice of default shall not be required to coincide with a rental period. d. Upon any termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Section 16 hereof. If this lease is terminated, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all Rent accrued and unpaid up to the date of such termination. In no event shall either party be liable to the other for incidental, special, or consequential damages of any nature claimed as a result of the breach of any term of this Agreement or termination of this Agreement. 18. Return of Premises; Trade Fixtures. Tenant at the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall peaceably yield up to Landlord the Premises in good repair in all respects, reasonable use and wear and damage by fire and all other unavoidable casualties not caused by Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, invitees or contractors excepted. Tenant shall remove all trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property installed or placed by it at its expense in, on or about the Premises; provided, however, all damage caused by or as a result of such removal shall be repaired by Tenant at its expense. Should Tenant fail to remove its fixtures, equipment or property within Thirty (30) days of a notice to do so from Landlord, ownership of such fixtures, equipment and property shall automatically be vested in Landlord and Landlord have the right dispose of such fixtures, equipment and property in any manner it sees fit, and retain all proceeds therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall continue to be liable to Tenant for the costs of any such removal and disposal in excess of any such proceeds. 22 of 41 23 of 41 24 of 41 25 of 41  DATE (MM/DD/YYYY) CERTIFICATE OF LIABILITY INSURANCE 6/19/2015 THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED AS A MATTER OF INFORMATION ONLY AND CONFERS NO RIGHTS UPON THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: 1. Section 1(c) of the Lease, Parking, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “There shall be no parking included in this Lease.” 2. Section 2(a) of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “Term. The Term of this Lease shall be from the date set forth above to November 15, 2018. Provided that Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that Tenant is not in default of any term or condition of this Lease, Landlord may agree to renew this Lease for up to one additional year upon terms mutually agreeable to the parties. If Tenant desires to so renew this Lease, Tenant shall notify Landlord on or before October 15, 2018. 3. Section 2(b) of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “Operating Season; Wind Up and Wind Down Seasons; Off Season. Tenant’s Operating Season shall be June 8, 2018 to October 8, 2018 (the “Operating Season”). The term “Wind Up Season” shall mean June 5-7, 2018. The term “Wind Down Season” shall be October 9-12, 2018, or the three (3) day period following the Operating Season if the Operating Season terminates before October 8, 2018. Tenant shall have no right to occupy, and shall vacate, the Queuing Area, the Berthing Area, the Ramp, the Exterior Common Areas, the Terminal Building, and any other City-owned property, other than the Departure Building, after October 21, 2018. Tenant shall vacate the Departure Building and surrender possession of it to the  Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease on or before November 15, 2018. The term “Off Season” shall mean from the date first set forth above until June 4, 2108. In the event that Landlord agrees to renew this Lease as set forth above, the term “Off Season” shall also mean the period between the end of the 2018 Wind Down Season and commencement of the 2019 Wind Up Season” 4. Section 5(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “In the event Tenant wishes to make any improvements to any portion of the Premises, including any improvements required by CBP, it shall obtain the written approval of Landlord prior to undertaking any such improvements, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All such improvements shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.” 5. The following language is added to the Lease as section 7(t): “On or before May 1, 2018, Tenant shall present Landlord with a licensed engineer’s plan (“Plan”) satisfactory to the City’s Waterfront Manager, to mitigate future damage to the Seawall or any other part of the City’s property which shall include installation of riprap by Cross Excavation at the quoted cost of $15,698. Prior to the commencement of the 2018 Operating Season, Tenant shall complete construction of any required facilities described in said Plan, up to a maximum expenditure cap of $20,000 (inclusive of the $15,698 referred to above), to the Waterfront Manager’s satisfaction. Compliance with this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant of any responsibility otherwise existing for any damage to, or its obligation to maintain or repair, the Premises or other City property.” 6. The following is added to the Lease as section 28: “28. USCBP 2018 Security Equipment Requirements: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP“) requires that a series of equipment and operational changes (the “CBP Requirements") be made to the Premises as a prerequisite to CBP providing inspection services for the 2018 Operating Season. The details and exact terms of the CBP Requirements are being discussed on an ongoing basis between CBP, the Tenant, and the Landlord. The parties acknowledge and agree that without such inspection services, Tenant cannot operate its ferry service. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, in the event that CBP, at any time, decides to terminate its international inspection services for Tenant’s ferry service, the Lease shall automatically terminate. Within 5 days after the date of CBP’s decision to terminate such inspection services, Tenant shall vacate the Queuing Area, the Berthing Area, the Ramp, the Exterior Common Areas, the Terminal Building, and any other City-owned property, other than the Departure Building; and within 30 days after CBP’s decision to terminate the inspection services, Tenant shall vacate the Departure Building and all other portions of the Premises not previously vacated. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for all of the costs associated with the CBP Requirements, including, without limitation, all costs associated with the initial 2 assessments undertaken by third party contractors, all costs associated with the purchase and installation of equipment required by CBP, and all other costs associated with complying with, and maintaining, any CBP Requirements for approval of the Premises for Tenant’s operation of its international ferry service (the “CBP Improvements Costs”). It is the intent of the parties that the Landlord shall incur no expense in connection with obtaining CBP’s approval of the Premises for Tenant’s operation of its international ferry service and maintaining that approval during the term of the Lease, and the Landlord shall not be responsible for any portion of the CBP Improvements Costs. It is understood that the contracts for the most significant elements of the CBP Improvements (the "CBP Improvement Contracts") may be entered into with Battelle Memorial Institute, Pacific Northwest Division, UNISYS, or other contractors (collectively the "CBP Contractors"). If permitted by the CBP Contractors, Tenant will enter into any CBP Improvement Contracts with the CBP Contractors. The CBP Improvement Contracts shall be subject to the Landlord’s approval, but Landlord shall not be liable for any expenses, costs, losses, damages, or claims incurred under such contracts. Should it become necessary that Landlord, as owner of the Premises, be a party to any CBP Improvement Contracts, the Landlord’s execution of such contracts shall be conditioned upon Tenant first paying to Landlord all amounts due to the contractors under such contracts, or, at Landlord’s option, providing some other financial security in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord, acting reasonably, which is reflective of Landlord's financial exposure pursuant to the terms of the CBP Improvement Contract(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord incurs any costs related to the CPB Requirements, Tenant shall pay Landlord for such costs within five days of Landlord's demand for same, failing which the Lease shall automatically terminate.

I have looked into the cost and scope of such studies nationally and present the following findings as you deliberate your course of action. I was unable to find smaller, perhaps more comparable cities who had conducted such studies.  A disparity study examines whether there are differences between: o The percentage of dollars that minority-, woman- and veteran-owned businesses received on an agency’s prime contracts and subcontracts during a particular time period (utilization); and o The percentage of dollars that those businesses would be expected to receive based on their availability to perform on the agency’s prime contracts and subcontracts (availability).  Typically, disparity studies also analyze other quantitative and qualitative information about: o Legal considerations surrounding implementation of M/W/VBEs o Contracting practices and business assistance programs that the agency currently has in place; and o Potential program measures for consideration as part of the agency’s implementation of M/W/VBEs.  Disparity studies conducted by cities most often focus on their own contracting practices, not of an entire marketplace.  Studies can examine disparities across all agency contracting or in specific areas, like construction, professional services, and goods and support services.  Most studies take about two years to complete.  Scope is fairly standardized.  Costs range from $100,000 to over $1,000,000.  Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority o Study objectives: Identify best practices that will help the SWA build business programs to stimulate the economic growth of local businesses o Study components: Collect prime and sub-contracts, analyze prime and sub- contractor use, identify willing and able market area businesses to participate, collect anecdotal accounts, make recommendations to eliminate barriers to contracting o Consultant: Mason Tillman Associates Ltd Page 1 of 6  o Study completed 2016 o Cost: $377,325 o https://swa.org/481/FY-2016-Disparity-Study  City of Charlotte, NC o Scope:  Examine what, if any, barriers may be adversely affecting the participation of MWBEs in contracts issued by the City;  Identify the availability of MWBEs that are ready, willing, and able to do business with the City in the relevant market area(s);  Analyze the contracting and procurement data of the City to determine its respective utilization of MWBEs;  Determine the extent to which any identified disparities in the utilization of available MWBEs by the City are attributable to discrimination;  Recommend programs to remedy the effects of any discrimination identified, and to reduce or eliminate any other marketplace barriers that adversely affect the contract participation of such MWBEs; and  Identify best practices for the policy recommendations on remediating any identified disparities, as well as effective tools for developing MWBE capacity. o Consultant: BBC Research and Consulting o Study completed 2017 o Cost: $345,750 o http://charlottenc.gov/mfs/cbi/Pages/Disparity-Study.aspx  City of Denver o Scope: To examine the city’s procurement of services and products, the subcontracting participation of contractors/service providers who do business with the city, and anecdotal evidence collected from a cross-section of the local business community.  Assess disparities between the participation and availability of minority- and women-owned businesses for city contracts.  The study will focus on construction, design services, professional services, goods, general services, and airport concessions contracts awarded from 2012-2016.  Contracts and procurements from the city’s Departments of Aviation, General Services, Public Works, and others will be examined. o Consultant: BBC Research and Consulting o Study in progress o Cost: $797,653 o https://www.denvergov.org/content/denvergov/en/denver-office-of-economic- development/do-business-with-denver/DISPARITY_STUDY.html Page 2 of 6  City of Cleveland o Scope:  Ensure compliance with constitutional mandates and M/WBE best practices;

Mitchell, Director TO: Chair Costa and Members of the Economic Development Committee FROM: Bill Needelman, Waterfront Coordinator DATE: March 16, 2018 SUBJECT: March 20, 2018 Public Hearing: Portland Ocean Terminal at the Maine State Pier – Concept for increased utilization CC: Jon Jennings, City Manager Greg Mitchell, Economic Development Director Sally Deluca, Parks, Recreation and Facilities Director Kathy Alves, Facilities and Port Director Introduction: The Economic Development Department requests a public hearing with the Economic Development Committee (EDC) to report on the results of stakeholder and public outreach on redevelopment concepts for portions of the Portland Ocean Terminal (POT) on the Maine State Pier. Staff additionally seeks guidance on next steps from Committee members. Background: Following briefings to the EDC and a workshop with the full City Council during the fall of 2017, City staff from Economic Development, Facilities, and Planning conducted a series of stakeholder and public meetings to solicit feedback and generate awareness of development concepts for the POT. These meetings included a presentation of the background informing redevelopment and concept graphics showing potential uses, circulation, and architectural improvements. Central to the meetings, City staff presented and circulated questions for consideration by the participants. Development Program: While looking to preserve +/-80% of the first floor of the POT for current marine operations, the current process is exploring introduction of a specific and limited set of potential new uses in the POT building and site improvements, including: 1 of 72  1. A first floor pedestrian open walkway; 2. A roundabout pick up and drop off circulation yard located at the northerly end of the POT; 3. 6000-8000 sq ft of first floor stall style market retail; and, 4. 28,000 sq ft of second floor incubator office and event space. The above improvements and uses were specifically and carefully selected by staff as: 1. Functionally compatible and/or complementary to other pier uses; 2. Physically compatible with the pier circulation and existing POT building structure; 3. Reasonably achievable in scope;, 4. Generating limited external impacts – specifically in terms of parking and transportation demand; and, 5. Consistent with existing EWPZ zoning. Staff Work Group, Design Team, and Graphics Development: The current process has been conducted by an interdepartmental team consisting of: Bill Needelman, Waterfront Coordinator Kathy Alves, Facilities and Port Director Diane Gagnon, Facilities Project Manager Christian Roadman, Planner Bruce Hyman, Transportation Program Manager Nell Hanig, Business Programs Manager John Peverada, Parking Manager has also contributed significantly. The process also benefitted from the active participation by staff from Casco Bay Lines, specifically Paul Pottle, Director of Projects. Prior to meeting with the EDC in November 2017, City staff worked with Dick Reed Architecture and C. Michael Lewis, Illustrator, to translate the suggested program into visualization graphics. These graphics are intended to show how a reimagined POT building could look and to demonstrate that the suggested program physically fits within the anticipated footprint. Process and Outreach Schedule to Date: Under the leadership of former Councilor David Brennerman and the EDC during the Fall of 2017, establishing direction for the future of the Portland Ocean Terminal has been on the City Council priority list for several years. Consistent with this goal, the City Manager directed staff to generate concepts for discussion and to establish a process for public input and Council review. 2 of 72 This current process evaluating the POT began in September of 2017 at a workshop of the Economic Development Committee. City staff presented a general concept of limited market uses on portions of the first floor with event space and incubator office on the second floor. The EDC recommended a full City Council Workshop to gauge support for the concepts prior to further development. The Council conducted their workshop in October 2017, where staff was directed to conduct a rigorous stakeholder and public outreach process to inform the concepts and future process steps. Following this direction, Staff conducted the process outlined below. City Council Process • September 5, 2017 Economic Development Committee • October 2, 2017 City Council Workshop • November 28, 2017 Economic Development Committee Stakeholder and Public Outreach • February 13, 2018 Waterfront Alliance • February 15, 2018 CBITD Operations Committee • February 27, 2018 Seafood Industry • February 28, 2018 Food and Beverage Industry • March 1, 2018 Maine State Pier Tenant Meeting • March 12, 2018 Open House with the public and islander stakeholders • March 12, 2018 Peaks Island Public Meeting hosted by the Peaks Island Council There have been four primary goals for the above process: 1. To inform stakeholders and the public on the potential new uses and improvements; 2. To gather input informing refinement of the concepts; 3. To generate interest among the development community and potential tenants; and, 4. To inform staff drafting and development of “Request for Proposal” documents, if so directed. Staff specifically looked for feedback on uses and tenant types to encourage, uses to avoid, and potential for undue competition with private real estate and business enterprises. Understanding the standing concerns of island residents, pier tenants, and Casco Bay Lines, staff also looked for feedback on pier circulation, congestion, and parking. Public and Stakeholder Participation: With the notable exception of the February 28 Food and Beverage Industry meeting, all of the above meetings were well attended. Universally, all of the meetings generated thoughtful and meaningful dialogue and exchange. City staff is extremely grateful for the time, energy, and information provided by all stakeholders and participating members of the public. 3 of 72 The typical format for each meeting included a summary of background, policies, and recent development interest relevant to the POT building followed by a presentation of the suggested program and illustrations showing current thinking. The presentations concluded with questions to the participants as described above. The questionnaires used at each meeting are provided in the attachments along with the compiled answers. Meeting Summaries February 13, 2018 Waterfront Alliance Approximately 20 members of the Waterfront Alliance heard the summary presentation which was followed by questions and comments. Minutes from the Waterfront Alliance meeting are attached to this memo. February 15, 2018 CBITD Operations Committee Representatives from multiple Island Communities and Casco Bay Lines staff provided feedback on the suggested program. Parking and congestion were areas of primary concern. February 27, 2018 Seafood Industry Approximately 19 participants in the seafood and development industries provided detailed feedback on the suggested development program. The balance between private competition and increased opportunity was discussed. The greatest enthusiasm expressed came from aquaculture start-ups and food cart vendors looking to settle into a fixed establishment. February 28, 2018 Food and Beverage Industry Only three attendees participated in the Food and Beverage meeting, with one of them representing development interests. However, the two food representatives provided detailed and informative insights into the potential and limitations of the proposal. One participant was particularly interested in the education potential of the space. March 1, 2018 Maine State Pier Tenant Meeting With the exception of the Portland Tug Boat, all current on-pier tenants participated in a presentation and discussion on the suggested program. There was a general consensus that the program could work, but tenants expressed concerns over pier congestion and truck access. A participant in the cruise ship industry cautioned against limiting future opportunities to further expand cruise ship operational capacity. March 12, 2018 Open House with the Public and Islander Stakeholders A mixed group of about 15 islanders, interested parties, and food industry reps met at the Casco Bay Lines terminal. Islander concerns were largely consistent with the CBITD Operations Committee meeting and with the Peaks Island meeting described below. Other comments and questions were largely general interest and broadly supportive. 4 of 72  March 12, 2018 Peaks Island Public Meeting hosted by the Peaks Island Council See details below: Outreach Outcomes: Based on feedback generated to date, interest in the potential redevelopment of the northerly end of the POT remains strong. Opinions and feedback generated in the above process are varied, both between stakeholder groups, and related to specific program elements. The bullets below capture some, but not all of the agreements and dichotomies expressed. Areas of Consensus: • The POT building and Pier circulation need improvement. Few, if any, participants expressed desires to preserve the existing conditions. There was general acceptance of the presumption that physical change and increased occupancy were reasonable, inevitable outcomes worthy of effort. • The suggested redevelopment program is well considered and attractive. While there is a wide range of opinion regarding the prudence of specific program elements or whether the City should move forward with this or any redevelopment effort, the design approach was very well received. The exception being Peaks Island, where the overwhelming opinion expressed was that the City should do nothing on the pier prior to addressing parking concerns. • Loading and servicing of any new uses needs to be timed and/or located to avoid causing congestion or interference with existing pier uses. • Whatever new uses are considered, the direct and indirect parking impacts should be considered. • Compatibility and collaboration with existing Pier uses, including Casco Bay Lines, will be critical. • Generally, marine uses received greater support and more positive feedback than non- marine uses. • Retail entities, whether seafood or non-seafood, should look to avoid competition with existing restaurants, raw seafood retailers, and on-island grocery. • Smaller scale retail, with emphasis on prepared food and limited seating, generated the most positive feedback, when a positive opinion was expressed. Differences of Opinion: • Some participants believed that the circulation improvements (northerly roundabout and internal walkway) would greatly improve circulation on the pier, while other believed that the increased activity would exacerbate existing congestion issues. • Many participants expressed support for small scale retail as an expansion of opportunity, while others expressed concerns over undue competition by a public entity over private enterprise. Concerns over competition were most strongly articulated by the Peaks Island participants. 5 of 72 Peaks Island: The Peaks Island meeting on March 12 generated an unambiguous and unvarnished negative response from the +/-36 attendees. Moreover, City staff was unsuccessful in getting participants to provide feedback on particular aspects of the suggested uses. While respectful, polite, and articulate, the participants were adamant and unified: the City should not consider more uses on Maine State Pier until longstanding parking issues are addressed. Similar opinions were expressed by island residents from Peaks, the Diamonds, and Long Island at the CBITD Operations Committee meeting and at the March 12 Open House. Concluding Thoughts and Next Steps: The recent outreach process provided substantial input informing future use and development of the Portland Ocean Terminal. Staff has received enough feedback to assist in the drafting and issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) reflecting the suggested development program. However, the significant concerns raised by Islanders (parking and pier congestion) and by members of the retail and development community (competition with private enterprise) warrant consideration both within and apart from any pending procurement process. Competition: If the City leadership directs staff to proceed with a RFP, the potential for undue competition needs to be addressed. The City should undertake sufficient market analysis to confirm healthy market conditions post development and avoid unfair competition with the private sector. Islander Parking: Islanders have essentially demanded a halt to any redevelopment of the POT until longstanding grievances over expensive and constrained parking are addressed. The recent Fort Hill Infrastructure report, City of Portland Parking Study for Downtown, the Old Port, and the Eastern Waterfront, Sept 2017 contains a number of recommendations targeted at relevant to Islander parking concerns. Recommendations include: • Explore the Formation of a Non-Profit Transportation Association • Explore expanding Specific Island Resident Parking Programs • Improve Parking Management and Technology • Explore shuttled parking • Expand use of TNC (Lyft and Uber…) If the City is to move forward with redevelopment efforts on the Maine State Pier, Council should consider a simultaneous and robust effort to implement relevant recommendations from the Fort Hill Report. Engagement with Island communities on parking and traffic issues should continue under any outcome. 6 of 72 Next Steps: Staff recommends the EDC hold a public hearing on March 20, 2018 to present to the results of the public stakeholder meetings, receive additional public input and receive EDC direction on next steps. Staff’s position is that the Proposed Maine State Pier POT redevelopment can be accomplished only through a public-private partnership in order to maximize leveraging private funds and non-municipal public funds. Staff recommends the EDC direct staff to propose an RFP process to attract public-private interest to support the Proposed POT Redevelopment Plan. Attachments 1.

This is the launch of the public process and stakeholder meetings to ask what is needed; what are the opportunities for municipal sponsored facility versus competition with private sector development.  Building on lessons learned from 2007-2008 effort and using the 2006 Policy Statement as a framework for direction with updates based on new market realities and changes. Several proposals did not come to fruition. Not looking for something grandiose, but rather based on range of possibilities coming from seafood, marine passenger transportation, and hotel/tourism industries.  Concentrating efforts on north end of pier (Commercial Street end) with Casco Bay Island Transit District as critical design partner. Basic intent is to safely separate pedestrians and vehicle traffic. Idea to put a roundabout for car, bus, taxi drop off closer to Commercial Street, and let only necessary vehicles proceed further.  Currently the whole building is a 105 Security Zone – need to change this for flexibility.  No zoning changes will be required. Concept includes higher utilization of upper floors of the building, consolidating and organizing operations, retaining existing marine tenants, and other operating parameters such that 80% of the first floor will be marine- related uses. All current uses will be accommodated. Not intended to be t-shirt shops nor all groceries nor all seafood. Conceptually urban- style walking with stall-style retail, open to outside, separated by wall from car traffic, attractive, mezzanine seating level above, return upper floor windows to building as was designed in 1922.  Kathy Alves responded to a question concerning the condition of the pilings and reported she and an engineering consultant spent 30 days under the pier in fall 2017. The deck itself and pile caps are in pretty good shape; maybe 15% need attention. There is a combination of wood and steel pilings. Discrepancy from previous evaluation (2006-ish) concerning condition of the pier was based on the intended new use of the pier (then) and what is contemplated now. Most of the new work with impact on pier structure will be needed to relocate mechanicals.  Comments and discussion that followed included: o Observation by John Spritz that the “bones” look real good. Idea to match notion from Pierce Atwood vis-à-vis repurposing a waterfront building. Old photo was compelling. o Bill N. responded to question about “timeline” noting they are currently focusing on public outreach and next step after that is the need to find an appropriate development partner. City leadership is behind the effort. 2020 is an aggressive build date. Kathy A. noted that the outcome of stakeholder meetings may drive this project in a different direction. o John Spritz wondered if this is an extension of the Commercial Street corridor congestion. Bill N. reported that Peaks Islander opinion about the needs of the facility 8 of 72  are critical. Will want a “seafood face” of processing, retail, and consumption. A modest 6 – 8,000 sq. ft. available for several small stalls. (Seafood? Coffee? Local beer? Bakery?). Idea is small vendors / pushcarts and not street vendors. Must be a tenant of building to sell. Avoiding crush of typical cruise ship events. o Hank Berg from Casco Bay Lines reported they are investing in several site upgrades and opined this project will be a transformational change and they are working closely with the city. Again, this is intended to solve problems that are caused by mix of vehicles and pedestrians vying for the same space. Separating them in an inviting way (covered walkway) is a good idea. o Again concerning congestion and short term parking, Bill N responded that the building will be for uses that would not encourage more activity. That is, people would be there as a secondary reason, not as the primary purpose of the trip. Think Islanders walking by to and from the ferry. Bruce Hyman noted that the city has PACTS planning funds for a Commercial Street Operations and Master Plan that includes the need for accessibility to the piers as a key to economic vitality. Bruce opined that development pressure [on Commercial Street] accentuates the need to catch. o Tom Meyers offered that the Waterfront Alliance was willing to discuss opportunities for another Open House for this project, similar to the one in 2017 for the rezoning effort on the western waterfront. o Dennis Keeler observed that he appreciated the thoughtful approach and analysis the city is taking in this renewed effort, suggesting the process will rebuild credibility lost in 2006. 9 of 72 Attachment 2 MSP Questionnaires, Blank 10 of 72 Attachment 2 MSP Questionnaires, Blank 11 of 72  Attachment 3 Maine State Pier Questionnaire - Maine State Pier Input: Seafood Industry Compiled Responses 11 Responses 1.

It is drawn from one staff member’s meeting notes* Seafood Industry (Main State Pier Mtg.) 2/27/18 There are already a lot of retailers – cost of business is an issue of concern. The City is changing, and we have an opportunity to do something better. Founded on lobster industry – potential for “Maine Marine Discovery Museum? Not sure 8000 square feet is sufficient. Regarding important services: refrigeration, ice machine, water. Require square footage. New England Ocean Cluster: It seems like this is more of a street food vendor-level market (one step up from a food truck). Would capitalize on throughput of cruise ship passengers (limited processing). Similar to the market at the Iceland Ocean Cluster. Presents an opportunity for Robin Hood Cove Oyster visibility. Interested potential vendor. Pike’s Place Market (Seattle): range of visitors crowding through, lack of parking. “Seafood market,” but more flower vendors than seafood vendors. Represents a different type of retail customer than someone going for fish / seafood sales. Cruise ship traffic seems to get caught by small craft, card-table vendor types. Pike’s-market style would be better. “Don’t forget the fishermen.” Relevance of concept depends on what you’re selling. Raw seafood requires parking. Boston Eataly – no parking. 40,000 sq. ft. facility but fish market is pretty small. Prepared foods represent much more. Raw seafood is much more difficult in this concept. Pike’s Place: great view of harbor. Are there places at MSP to incorporate public space to take advantage of views? BN: Compass Park wildly underutilized. 2nd floor office space? Does this present an opportunity for views? Opening up oysters on site would probably work. Could be designed as a showcase for Maine seafood products – what does Maine offer more than just lobster? When in the area, people look around for fishermen to interact with. Great opportunity for educating community/visitors about how to buy Maine seafood. “Don’t know how to get folks to work together, but getting folks to eat oysters there doesn’t make people not want to go to Eventide. May make them want to go to Eventide.” Ecotourism, aquaculture. Most people that eat seafood don’t know much about aquaculture. Oyster food cart (shucks oysters): Wood like to have a nook where folks could eat. Likes the education piece idea. Education + fresh oyster = unique, satisfying experience. Supportive of idea, interested. Potential opportunity for some raw seafood? Baked oysters? Crudo? *This document is not a transcript or minutes. It is drawn from one staff member’s meeting notes* Food and Beverage Industry (Main State Pier Mtg.) 2/28/18 Non-City Attendees: Matt Thornton, Identity Group 15 of 72 Mike Alfiero, Harbor Fish John Naylor, Rosemont Market MA: Interesting concept. Congratulations. JN: Nice looking concept. Parking and car issues in summertime. Retail season extended now. Stay away June, July, August. Eight months to really put it together. How do we get people in Jan, Feb, March? # of retailers on Commercial and India Streets, some opening up. How will this differ? …. Finding more opps off peninsula. BN: But are we eating your lunch? JN: Depends on islanders. If we could serve the islanders right there maybe it could be good for us. KA: Affordable stalls. Year-round cruising. WEX and other development.  Potentially getting more customers. JN: Something to think about for sure. MA: IF it was a raw seafood market I would be concerned and might feel we need a stall. But yesterday, sounded like a lot of prepared foods. BN: Takeaways from seafood ind. mtg: Importance of and opportunity for food-ready-to-eat, education. MA: Discovery Center for seafood industry? History of, how lobsters are caught. Way for the industry to come together, opportunity to do something special. JN: Food / agriculture history also notable. MA: I think it would be worth the City’s interest to at least look at the possibility of a marine discovery center. Food infrastructure is expensive: showcase can be $30-40k. Kitchens are $$$. JN: Munjoy Hill store: ~ 900 sq. ft. Delivery 3 times/day. Warehouse supplies. JP: Watch out for servicing semis. MA: Question whether the City should be getting involved in private business. JN: Supply spot for the islands? JP: Cruise ship days: 15 min parking. MA: Prepared foods the only way I am interested. Harbor Fish & Rosemont Market could share a space/ kitchen. JN: Agriculture is growing. “Food museum,” education and opportunities for processing. We produce a lot of food in Maine and a lot of people don’t know about it. 16 of 72 *This document is not a transcript or minutes. It is drawn from one staff member’s meeting notes* Tenants (Main State Pier Mtg.) 3/1/18 Non-City Attendees: Casco Bay Lines (~3 employees) Jack Megan Jones Scott John Ready Jack: Concern regarding new pedestrians being introduced to the pier when there is already constrained space. Why not doubling down on marine use? This is the last part of the eastern waterfront dedicated to marine use. $$ spent vs return? Start with the upper floor, skip the retail. BN: If we don’t do the retail I don’t think we should do the corridor. 17 of 72 Jack: Look at marine use first, not non-marine. KA: (Longer?) cruise ships want access to Portland. BN: Maybe we should be talking with cruise ships. Scott: From a perspective of sailing passengers, this could work. Customers wonder where they should go afterword for a coffee or sandwich. John (?): Issues regarding pedestrian circulation and safety are real. KA: Upper floor gets more attractive with the bottom area getting better / more attractive. Scott: “Pie in the sky request:” It would be great to see from one end of the building to the other – really great location on the pier. Water viewing would be great. Jack(?): These changes preclude other developments that are marine based. (?): I see this as a positive as well as long as you don’t prohibit the potential development of another industry. BN: I don’t think this plan precludes longer ship turnarounds, but we should explore. Megan: The rotary concept is brilliant, will help a lot. We struggle from an operational standpoint with our own vehicles. There are a lot of people down there in the summertime. (?) Putting thought into vehicle traffic to Compass Point Park, police access. BN(?): Pier being maintained as marine/fishery supporting is important. Scott: can we mandate that 50% seafood be included in the final building/tenants? The authenticity is really important. KA: Information re: where the food comes from and what processes are included. BN / Scott: Ticket booth? Would that be helpful? BN: Casco Bay ticket kiosk? (?): Cruise ship industry is changing and can change quickly. Scott: Rough time frame from here? BN: Economic Development Committee, report out what we heard, suggest next steps. Not hearing showstoppers, but I do want to further explore potential operations constraints per Jack’s comment. KA: Waiting area in there? Casco Bay Lines: Don’t know…. People want to be outside in nice weather. Vehicular traffic is a problem. Important not to increase vehicular traffic that doesn’t need to be there. Flow of peds / vehicles. KA(?) BN(?): Re-emphasis of small space. 1000 feet of deep water berthing that needs to be maintained. Echo’s Jack’s thought that it should be flexible. Casco Bay Lines: Overall thought: maintain or improve flow for peds and vehicles. 18 of 72 John: Vehicle traffic. Marketing and promotional power is good. 53’ trailers. Having someone in an enforcement role other than tenants. 5 or 6 trailers a day coming in from secondary packaging companies. Improvements managing pedestrian crowds recently. Desire for enforcement / people management. Megan: Point person at the rotary that decides whether you can go down the pier or not. Enforcement, management. (?): We can’t handle additional vehicles if we don’t ease up other areas. Facility not designed with the volumes we are experiencing. BN: Let’s have a separate conversation about trucks and how to make that work. (?): Let’s get more box trucks in there and have more regular access. Jack: I don’t think you hit a fatal flaw, because you have to improve the pedestrian experience. *This document is not a transcript or minutes. It is drawn from one staff member’s meeting notes* Casco Bay Lines Open House (Main State Pier Mtg.) 3/12/18 What do you mean by business incubator / why? BN: Low barrier for entry. Small business, startups. More manageable size and use for the space that we have. San Francisco Ferry terminal is an example of this type of facility. Great treasure of the city. Retail use, offices. Walkability is a big issue. 21st century, people are in the terminal all the time, very well utilized. Farmers’ market. Vote against the bar, incubator towards other retail related spaces like pottery / artist studios and retail that are open until 9 (cafés, etc). Businesses spaces are not public. I think it’s pretty exciting. I think it’s a pipe dream to think that you can do this without parking. Funnel of parking need does not get reflected in the study numbers alluded to. The last great hope for island people to have a parking place. People walk from cars to the ferry in the winter with their bags. Not buying the idea that this is tangential to the project. It’s just more. Just wrong. Presentation doesn’t show lines of traffic. Islanders are not going to support 5 or 6 shops. Harbor Fish. Ready seafood. BN: There is zero use in the upstairs. The idea of developing the space overall is good. Sitting there as it is now is problematic. But a parking crisis exists now and this is just going to add to it. What would it take to put in infrastructure for parking? 19 of 72  BN: We would have to exclude uses. We can explore parking, but would include extraordinary expense or excluding uses. Assumption that doing nothing is a bad option. Why do we always talk about parking and not getting folks to take public transit? BH: Responds re: public transit initiatives, Metro #1 and #8. We hear you but we’re not quite there yet. What are the current City uses / sq. footages? All marine uses? KA: Yes. Big gangways, etc. Queuing? How do you plan to manage that? KA: Working on that now. Perhaps similar to taxi management at airport. Ocean Gateway Flow? Would changes in that help? BN: Can be informed both ways. Depends on their flow, throughputs, and needs. Does this plan require rezoning? BN: Should not, per 2006 zoning. I think this is the opportunity to do more and better. Another deck to the Casco Bay Garage? There has to be more creativity on this parking issue. Shuttles? KA: The Wave will be coming online. 4 passengers at a time, not sure about impact, but a step in the right direction. Chebeague Island lot has shuttle service. Land off peninsula with shuttle? Looking at developer for each floor? BN: Probably one for the whole building. We are business owners on island, and some kind of convenience store would be great. BN: Very interested in uses that will save people a trip. Pharmacy, florist, convenience store, grocery. Removing need for trips to the store / owning a car may help with the parking issue (“subtraction by addition.”) Grandparents owned two cars, lived on island. Maybe wouldn’t have needed the with redevelopment proposed here. Green grocer, all-purpose grocer. Needs to survive winter, can’t survive on islanders alone. Not enough of them. Doesn’t the Nova Scotia ferry potentially offer some opportunities to other uses (i.e. parking). Customs / clearance flexibility? BN: Great potential there is flexibility. Depends. 20 of 72 *This document is not a transcript or minutes. It is drawn from one staff member’s meeting notes* Peaks Island (Main State Pier Mtg.) 3/12/18 Grocery store owner: what do I do with a 15% cut in business? Am I supposed to retire, pack up shop, and have store be developed for condos? Doesn’t fit City’s Comprehensive Plan. Light and noise pollution. More people. Won’t improve access to the water. Going to bring hundreds, thousands?, to the site. More congestion. Parking isn’t a static situation. It’s been shrinking for years. What do you mean by a market? Parking strategy and overall strategy and comp plan of community development. The City keeps hearing the issue of parking and kicking it down the road. Please take back to the City how important the issue of parking for islanders is. General discontent re: idea of shuttle parking. We don’t need a lot of the things you are talking about (bagels, coffee, market). Also, I was at the Casco Bay Lines meeting and did not hear that the shuttle idea was well received. WEX employees should be in a satellite lot. Not Peaks Islanders. Light rail connection from Marginal Way. What I want to hear is parking. That’s the issue for this group. BN: We are not getting quality feedback on reuse because we are thinking about parking. I don’t want to ignore this problem or burden this process with it. We don’t need more of a party down there. Seems like you’ve done a good job within the constraints that you’ve been given, but those constraints aren’t allowing you to address the problem. The message to the City Council is that you can’t bring more people, will make it unlivable. I think the last thing that any islander is interested in talking about is another cute shop. Your business is attractive for others, not islanders. Overhang piers with about 60 spaces, make some $$$. Most of the lot that is now roped off was a free lot for islanders (50 or 60 bucks for 3 months). What about that huge lot that used to belong to us? Somewhere that islanders could park. 21 of 72 Re: roundabout: you’d have another at Franklin a few yards away. Circulation is also pedestrians, who are oblivious. Roundabout won’t solve that – it’s for cars. Understand you have a job to do, appreciate that the whole existing area is congested. Have there been other uses explored? Marine-related or educational? Things that would have less impact and also benefit those that are in need. KA: This whole thing came out of how to help with pedestrian flow. [Attendee suggests a show of hands]. Who wants shops? (Essentially no response). Who wants parking? (Many hands up). The issue of little shops is not of interest. Parking is the cost of doing business. It’s what you get for living here. 22 of 72  Attachment 5 Casco Bay Lines Comments, Paul Pottle, Director of Projects Casco Bay Lines Feedback Bill; You wanted a list of concerns or issues that Casco Bay Lines might have as the City looks at the development of the Maine State Pier building known as the Portland Ocean Terminal (POT). The following comments come from discussions with some of our staff, but does not necessary represent the position of all of our Board members. You heard from some of the Board at the Operations Committee meeting and you may have also received comments during the Open House as well as the meeting on Peaks. I will assume that those comments were captured at that time and are included in your report. - CBL would not want to see anything that would increase vehicle traffic through the site. We understand the need to maintain good access for Ready Seafood, the activities and events that take place at Compass Park and for there to be some type of access for vehicles going into the POT site to service any development there, but it should try and avoid the need to stage anywhere in the open site or to park in one of the lanes and off-load any commodities that they may carry. Development of the POT building should also allow for that type of activity to happen within the site as well as some limited circulation. Any staging in what would otherwise be through or maneuvering lanes would have an adverse impact on those vehicles that are queuing up or being off-loaded from the car ferry or those dropping freight or passengers at our facility for transporting on a ferry. This would cause a jamming of traffic and have a very negative impact on our operation and ability to maintain scheduled service. - POT enhancements should be focused on improving pedestrian access through the site in making the experience more enjoyable as well as enhancing safety. The types of development should be focused on pedestrian traffic and not rely on users who would need to arrive by vehicle. - CBL supports site changes at the northern end of the site (entrance area) that provide ways to reduce traffic through our operational areas. Things like providing a place for a bus stand and taxi stand for the pick-up and drop-off of potential customers while keeping those vehicles out of our operational area would improve the flow of traffic through the site as well as enhance safety for all users and employees. This would also include identifying a space for a bus waiting shelter to service any new drop off area. Additionally, informative signs that re-direct traffic not intended for CBL or that inadvertently entered the site as well as discourages non users to exit before proceeding through the operational area. - It would be the desire of CBL that any increased activity for the POT building would have traffic accommodations within the footprint of the POT site as much as possible as well as limited movement to allow traffic to exit the site after completing and business. - That any development would be evaluated such that it does not intentionally or unintentionally add to the parking demand on the site. As we think all are aware, parking seems to be a major issue with many of the islanders and our customers. While this 23 of 72  Attachment 5 Casco Bay Lines Comments, Paul Pottle, Director of Projects project or our Phase II project does not directly address parking, we need to remain very sensitive to what is done so as not to exacerbate the issue. - That the City and CBL would cooperatively collaborate on way-finding signage that is also consistent with our branding so as to improve the visibility of our operation to visitors and first time users of our service. - We assume that the City will continue to collaborate with CBL and we with the City as plans are developed so that our outcomes are more complementary with each other. We would not want either of us to compete for the same areas and that we will continue to work to eliminating items that could be better served elsewhere. We think all know that the nature of our business requires us to be located on the waterfront and that in order to maintain an effect service that meets the needs of our customers and assists us in keeping our fares reasonable, that adding non-marine dependent activities that create operational conflicts detracts from that purpose. We support development of the POT building for we understand that in order to maintain such a facility, that the City needs an income stream to assist with day to day maintenance and improvement costs. That maintenance allows the facility to operate more efficiently and continues to support the marine dependent uses at the pier like the cruise ship visits, the schooners, tug boat operations and Ready Seafood. All of these enhance the waterfront and add to the uniqueness that makes Portland what it is. I trust this will help the City as it evaluates options and makes decisions regarding the development and use of the Maine State Pier facility. Paul Paul D.

Concerns over competition were most strongly articulated by the Peaks Island participants. 67 of 72 Stakeholder Feedback: Peaks Island: • +/-50 attendees • Negative response • Adamant and unified: The City should not consider more uses on Maine State Pier until longstanding parking issues are addressed. 68 of 72 Concluding Thoughts: • The recent outreach process provided substantial input informing future use and development of the Portland Ocean Terminal. • Staff has received enough feedback to assist in the drafting and issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) reflecting the suggested development program. However, the significant concerns raised by Islanders (parking and pier congestion) and by members of the retail and development community (competition with private enterprise) warrant consideration both within and apart from any pending procurement process. 69 of 72 Competition: The City should confirm healthy market conditions post development and avoid unfair competition with the private sector. Islander Parking: City of Portland Parking Study for Downtown, the Old Port, and the Eastern Waterfront, Sept 2017 Recommendations relevant to Islander parking concerns.  Explore the Formation of a Non-Profit Transportation Association  Explore expanding Specific Island Resident Parking Programs  Improve Parking Management and Technology  Explore shuttled parking  Expand use of TNC (Lyft and Uber…) and Chare Share Engagement with Island communities on parking and traffic issues should continue under any outcome. 70 of 72 Next Steps, Staff Suggestions: • Public-private partnership in order to maximize leveraging private funds and non-municipal public funds. • RFP process to attract public-private interest to support the suggested POT Redevelopment program. 71 of 72 Questions? 72 of 72  Economic Development Department Gregory A. Mitchell, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Economic Development Committee FROM: Greg Mitchell, Economic Development Director DATE: March 15, 2018 SUBJECT: 2018 Draft Economic Development Committee Work Plan As a follow-up to the February 6, 2018, EDC meeting discussion, the Draft 2018 Work Plan is now categorized with short-term (2018 timeframe) and long-term (beyond 2018) items as follows: SHORT-TERM Tax Increment Financing Employment Disparity Study and Workforce Job Training Program The 2017 EDC recommended that the City Manager and/or his/her designee undertake an analysis of the costs associated with the City undertaking an Employment Disparity Study and report back to the EDC in January 2018, and to explore the establishment of a City workforce job training program, utilizing funds from area-wide TIF Districts to fund the program. Next Steps: Staff is researching the scope and cost of conducting an employment disparity study. Results of that research will be presented at the EDC March 20, 2018, meeting. Also, staff will look at other municipal TIF programs regarding utilizing TIF revenue for adult education and workforce job training programs and report back to the Committee on its findings. FYE2017 Annual TIF Report to City Council: Annually the Economic Development Department issues a City Fiscal Year Report related to Portland TIF District activity. This report is available on the City web page at: http://www.portlandmaine.gov/529/Tax-Increment-Financing. The 2017 Annual Report was presented to the EDC at its February 20, 2018 meeting, at which time it voted to forward the Report to the City Council as a communication, and the City Council received it as a communication at its March 6, 2018 Council meeting. 1 Waterfront TIF: Amendment to add two development parcels: At the February 6, 2018 EDC meeting, it reviewed proposed amendments to the WTIF to add two development sites to the District, those being the WEX development at Thames and Hancock Streets, and Union Wharf development project. After review, the EDC voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council to approve the proposed amendments. This had a first reading at the City Council’s February 21, 2018, meeting and a second reading, public hearing, and vote at its March 6, 2018 Council meeting, at which time the Council voted unanimously (7-0 – Mayor Strimling and Councilor Batson were not in attendance) to amend the WTIF as recommended. Possible Amendments to Waterfront TIF District: One recommended TIF District amendment to discuss, in 2018, is the possible geographic expansion of the Waterfront TIF District. The areas to consider including in the Waterfront TIF District are East and West Commercial Street properties due to planned private sector investment projects and supporting public infrastructure needs. Next Steps: Presenting any private TIF District requests to the EDC for direction, along with revisiting the Waterfront TIF District boundaries for possible expansion. Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) New City Policy Staff prepared a draft policy for 2017 EDC consideration for non-profit tax exempt organizations to contribute annually to cover the cost of municipal services. At the September 5, 2017 EDC meeting, City Finance Director Brendan O’Connell provided a general overview of a proposed policy, and at the November 28 EDC meeting, provided a draft policy for review, discussion, and feedback. City staff is targeting a June EDC meeting presentation for Committee direction. Increase Utilization of Portland Ocean Terminal (POT) (2017 Mayor and City Council Goal) Establish direction on the future of the Portland Ocean Terminal, including waterfront concerts and Compass Park. With as much as 70,000 square feet of vacant space, the Portland Ocean Terminal on the Maine State Pier needs a plan for investment and optimized utilization. Existing uses, including City cruise ship port of call support (and storage in the winter for cruise ship activities), Portland Tugboat, and Ready Seafood, provide a solid basis for growth; however, the building’s age, condition, location within a Federal security area, and lack of supporting infrastructure (parking, loading, sidewalks …) severely limit the potential reuse of the building as currently configured. At the September 5, 2017 EDC meeting, City Waterfront Coordinator Bill Needelman provided the Committee with an overview and process to go forward, including conducting an inventory of uses, understanding current conditions, and coordination with existing operations. In the short-term, provide basic circulation and utilities changes and moving utilities into the main building. On October 2, 2017, the City Council held a workshop on suggested plans for the future of the POT, which was then followed by an EDC meeting on November 28, 2017, with staff providing illustrative redevelopment concepts for feedback from the Committee, including a draft updated Policy Statement for the POT. Under direction of the EDC, public outreach is underway during February 2 and March. At the March 20, 2018 EDC meeting, City staff will present stakeholder input and discuss policy direction. As the process moves forward, the evaluation of supporting infrastructure to attract anticipated increased commercial and marine tenant use of the space will be undertaken. Lease of City Properties Leasing City owned properties requires City Council approval. Policy discussion regarding the leasing of City owned properties needs to be discussed. Examples of commercial leases requiring EDC (in the form of a recommendation to the City Council) and City Council action include: Ocean Gateway to support ferry operator lease. An amendment to the Bay Ferries Lease is under negotiation to extend ferry service in 2018 subject to conditions. This was reviewed by the EDC in executive session on February 20, 2018 and March 6, 2018. Next step is a public review by the EDC on March 20, 2018, and recommendation to the City Council for approval. Portland Ocean Terminal tenant lease for Ready Seafood Companies. Proposed amendments for extending Lease were reviewed by the EDC in executive session on February 20, 2018 and March 6, 2018. Next step is a public review by the EDC on March 20, 2018 and recommendation to the City Council for approval. Spring Street Parking Garage Commercial tenant leases including the former Pirates space, with 2,400 square feet. At the February 6, 2018 EDC meeting, it reviewed proposed Lease and Parking Revenue Sharing Agreement with Portland Hockey, LLC. The EDC voted unanimously to forward this to the City Council for approval. The City Council took action on this at its February 21, 2018 Council meeting voting to approve both the Lease and Parking Revenue Sharing Agreement. Casco Bay Island Transit District (CBITD) Lease: Staff is beginning its review of the existing Lease to recommend, at the appropriate time, amendments. This current 30-year lease expires June 2018. City staff will update the EDC in executive session for direction. City Properties (Sales and Acquisitions) Sales Bayside former Public Works property at 44 Hanover Street. City staff discussed this in executive session at the February 6, 2018 EDC meeting and continued negotiations for a Purchase and Sale Agreement. At the March 6, 2018, the EDC reviewed the proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement and Lease back and voted to forward both to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. This item will be on the March 19, 2018, for a first reading, and then April 9, 2018 for a second reading and vote. Portland Technology Park. Three available sites. Riverside Street Seven (7) Acre Industrial Property. City staff will continue its marketing this property for sale. 3  This was discussed in executive session at the February 20, 2018 and March 6, 2018 EDC meetings for direction related to buyer interest. Thames Street Gravel Parking Lot. It is anticipated that during 2018, the EDC will consider options for the possible sale of the remaining portion of the Thames Street gravel parking lot. Acquisitions The Land Bank Commission is interested in accepting donations and acquiring privately- owned vacant land in the Redlon area of Portland, as well as other areas, to be placed into the Land Bank. Because of the property acquisition, this will come before the EDC, as well as the Land Bank Commission (LBC) for recommendations to the City Council. Outdoor Seating for Food Service Establishments: Review current permitting process/ordinance and any barriers, particularly for older buildings. Staff is working on this topic. Updates will be provided when appropriate. Open Forum for Restauranteurs: Forum for restaurant owners to talk about what is going well, what is not, and any other issues or comments they may have. LONG-TERM Broadband Access (2017 Mayor and City Council Goal). High speed infrastructure; broad band. IN PROCESS AND NEXT STEPS. At the July 26th, 2016, EDC meeting, staff provided a summary of a proposed Master Lease Agreement with Verizon to support small cell technology investment in Portland. The City Council approved this Master Lease on August 1, 2016. Also, it is noted the City issued a News Release on July 19th, 2016, with the topic “City Seeks Citizens to Complete Internet Services Survey” and noting “Selects SiFi Networks to explore potential citywide fiber network”. Staff continues to work with SiFi Networks to move forward with a public-private partnership. A City Council workshop was held on December 12, 2016 with Council direction to refer negotiations to the EDC to finalize partnership documents for recommendation to the City Council. At the February 6, 2018 EDC meeting, Jon Jennings updated the Committee that a company is looking to do this on its own at no cost to the City. Updates will be provided as they become available. Eastern Waterfront Public Infrastructure Investment (2017 Mayor and City Council Goal) Investing in public infrastructure is an important municipal government responsibility to attract private sector investment. Locations which require public infrastructure planning include both implementation of existing policies and creating new policy direction for investment: 4  Implementing Existing Policy: Private Development Integration. The Economic Development Department is leading a Planning, Public Works, and Parks & Recreation Department discussion to plan road, parking garage, and utility extensions in Portland’s Eastern Waterfront, facilitating planned and future development consistent with the Eastern Waterfront Master Plan (EWMP.) Next Steps. Public/private partnerships to develop public infrastructure improvements and revenues to finance the investments. Amethyst Lot Open Space Development. Implementing recommendations from the EWMP and conditions of approval from Ocean Gateway, to define program and design elements for signature waterfront open space promoting recreation and active use of the water. The 2017 EDC was provided a concept of redevelopment at its August 22, 2017, meeting, with overall consensus of agreement with the concept, which has been informally called “Portland Landing”. The EDC will be kept updated on the continued public process. Establishing New Policy Direction: Ocean Gateway to discuss reconfiguration of the “queuing area” located behind the fence to free up property for more diversified marine activity, support for the Portland Ocean Terminal, and expanded access to the water for commercial and public uses. The City Manager met with Custom Border Protection (CBP) personnel to discuss relocating U.S. Customs pre-clearance to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Staff is researching options; update forthcoming. Possible new Pier development between Ocean Gateway and the Maine State Pier to support increased commercial use of the waterfront and support for the marine passenger industry. Staff is exploring Federal funding opportunities and updates will be provided when appropriate. Portland Transportation Center (PTC) In partnership with the MDOT, NNEPRA, and private sector property owners, work to develop an expanded intermodal passenger station in the Thompson Point area. Next Steps. Staff to work with the transportation agencies and private partners to establish timeline and work plan for PTC improvements. Present briefing to the EDC when appropriate. Establish Development Impact Fees Staff will work with the EDC to create a formula that standardizes fees - providing certainty to the development community and City resources. At the September 5, 2017 EDC meeting, Planning and Urban Development Director Jeff Levine provided a general overview of the current City current impact fees, determined through development review. Next step is to bring a proposed overall impact fee policy to the EDC so that both the City and developers know formulas for impact fees and can insert them into pro formas. 5
