The requested contribution from the Town of Pulaski would total $15,582 and is based on a $1.75 contribution annually per capita per local government. This funding helps meet a projected target of $300,000 annually from local government contribution (see table below). An additional $300,000 is being sought from other partners including universities, health care institutions, and other major employers, for a total annual request of $600,000. Disbursement of these funds will occur on a five-year rotation throughout the region. Pulaski County was one of the initial recipients of pilot funding, receiving $850,000 for the redevelopment of the old Claremont School. The pilot funding was from a state grant funder, not local sources. The Regional Commission will be presenting at the March 5th Council meeting to discuss this request further.

Hale From: Bryan Ailey <bailey@PEOPLEINC.NET> Tuesday, February 6, 2024 2:29 PM Olivia C. Hale Sent: To: Cc: Erika Dietz Subject: Pulaski Village Apartments -People Incorporated Attachments: Importance: PVII Tab G Zoning Certification -VH 2024 1.pdf; PVII Tab O Plan of Development Certification Letter 2024 1.pdf; Revitalization Area Info 2024-1 .pdf; WMPII - Revitalization Resolution SAMPLE.pdf High CAUTION : This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you know the content is safe. Hi Olivia -my name is Bryan Ailey and I am the Chief Development Officer at People Incorporated of Virginia, a nonprofit, community action agency and housing provider, located in Abingdon, VA and the owner/operator of the Pulaski Village Apartments located in the Town of Pulaski on Memorial Drive. Pulaski Village is a USDA-RD property consisting of 44, lBR units with a community room and office building. Back in 2007-2009 I was on the original team here at People Inc. that completed the rehabilitation of those apartments and am reaching out to the Town to let you all know that the property has exited it's initial 15-year compliance period and that we are seeking funding to complete another renovation and update. As such, I am hoping you might be able to connect me with the appropriate staff for some items that we are seeking to include in our Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) application due in mid-March. These items are as follows: l. Zoning Certification: as part of the application process we will need the zoning administrator to sign off on the current zoning of the property. We will not be adding new units or changing use so this should be a straightforward administrative process. I have attached a completed copy of the form above for reference and will be happy to discuss any questions with the appropriate staff person as you direct. 2. Plan of Development: because this project is a rehab and is not adding new units or changing the existing site, this document should also be a straightforward administrative request. Feel free to point me in the direction of the appropriate staff to discuss, but you will see at the bottom of the form there is a box to check that indicates that no change is anticipated to the site. 3. Revitalization: I believe that this request will require a resolution from the Board of Supervisors. In order to increase the competitiveness of our LIHTC application, our developments typically seek a resolution by the governing locality designating the site/property as a revitalization area. This designation does not require material assistance from the Town, but rather seeks to name the site by the terms of the attached language in the Revitalization attachment by way of section 5.2.ii. Additionally, I have attached our most recent resolution as provided by the Washington County Board of Supervisors for reference of a completed document. As you will see, the language from 5.2.ii. is copied and pasted into this resolution in its entirety. Of these requests, the Revitalization is the only one that I believe requires Board action and subsequent approval and would welcome the opportunity to get onto the next available agenda to discuss. Please review this information and let me know if there are better contacts with whom I should discuss these requests and I'll be happy to do. It was a real pleasure working in Pulaski years ago and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

Modification to Public Session- No modifications was made. 8. Public Hearing- Joint Hearing with Planning Commission a. Case Number 2024-CPA-01 Amending the 2023 Town of Pulaski, Virginia Comprehensive Plan. Ordinance 2024-05 Kevin Meyer, Chairman of the Town of Pulaski Planning Commission, called the Planning Commission meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. and asked for a roll call. Dustin Davis- Aye Terry Hale- Aye Anthony Schrantz- Aye Van Taylor- Aye Kevin Meyer- Aye Rachel Arthur- Absent Summer Bork, Town Planner, reported every Comprehensive Plan adopted within the state of Virginia is required to be sent to VDOT to ensure that its transportation section is consistent with the Commonwealth Transportation Board’s Statewide Transportation Plan. The recommended changes from VDOT have been made to the Comprehensive Plan which included the Town to be designated as a VDOT Urban Development Area (UDA). The designation enables the Town to be eligible for more VDOT funding opportunities for transportation related improvement projects. The Vice Chair-man recessed the Planning Commission’s meeting from February 12, 2024 to the Town Council meeting on February 20, 2024 due to not having a quorum. Chairman Meyer opened the Public Hearing for the Planning Commission. Mayor Collins opened the Public Hearing for the Town Council. Chairman Meyer closed the Public Hearing for the Planning Commission. Mayor Collins closed the Public Hearing for the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recessed their meeting for discussion. The Mayor continued to move forward with the agenda for the Town Council Meeting. 9. Presentations a. Brian Wishneff & Associates- Adam Markwood Mr. Markwood, Director of Investments with Brian Wishneff & Associates presented to the Council the Historic Tax Credits incentive program for Calfee Community and Cultural Center. The program is targeted for historic buildings to raise income for improvements and secure a bridge loan, which is needed to start construction on the center. Mr. Markwood stated the bridge loan would be needed as the historic tax credit equity wouldn’t be available until the construction is complete, an up-front cash source would be needed to pay for construction costs until the historic tax credit is received. He stated the liability to the Town was minimal if all goes according to plan. However, worse-case scenario would be the project will not be approved due to renovations not meeting compliance based on agreed upon design. The Mayor paused the presentation as the Planning Commission returned from discussion. The motion was made by Mr. Hale and seconded by Mr. Davis to reconvene the Planning Commission meeting. Dustin Davis- Aye Terry Hale- Aye Anthony Schrantz- Aye Van Taylor- Aye Kevin Meyer- Aye Rachel Arthur- Absent Ms. Bork reported in Open Session that the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the advised changes to the Comprehensive Plan to the Town Council.

Howard Community Center- Guy Smith Guy Smith, Executive Director for the T.G. Howard Community Center presented to Council the history of the center and the recent renovations the center underwent and how the center is involved in the community.

Stephen Simon of Linden Circle addressed Council with his concerns of a human waste in the creek in his backyard. Mr. Simon stated he is trying to make people aware of the problem to ensure it is handled appropriately and asked Council what is going to be done to fix the problem. Mr. Reis asked what the name of the creek he was referring to. Mr. Simon stated it’s the creek behind Poor Boys.

Radcliffe- Aye Jeremy L. Clark- Aye G. Tyler Clontz- Abstained Brooks R. Dawson- Aye Michael P. Reis-Aye 13. Council Comments Mr. Dawson asked about UDA benefits from the changes to the Comprehensive Plan, if those funding benefits would be something we could apply for or if the Town will receive because of the changes. Darlene Burcham stated the UDA will open doors for the Town to apply for funds that we have not applied for. Mr. Radcliffe stated the lobby at the Post Office is now closed in the evenings and weekends and stated it would hinder the residents and small businesses who need to access their boxes after hours. Mr. Radcliffe asked if Mr. Day could reach out and ask why the lobby has been closed. Mr. Reis asked if a sidewalk could be added to Route 11 from Walgreens down toward the hospital. He also thanked Public Works for fixing the valve on Washington and 6th Street. Mr. Reis also stated “pursuant to VA Code 2.2-3114 (F) the transaction of the request presentation earlier from Mr. Markwood that I am the registered agent for both the Calfee Community & Cultural Center Incorporated and the Calfee CCC LLC which is the entity that will be used for the real estate tax credits, there are more people like me who provide services like that to those entities, though I am able to participate in the transaction fairly, objectively, and in the public interest, I will choose to abstain from doing so.” Mayor Collins thanked Ms. Burcham for her time as Mr. Day transitions into the Town Manager. 14. Manager’s Report Mr. Day stated the Calfee Community & Cultural Center project is complex and he’s impressed with how Ms. Burcham handles that with grace and tactic. He stated he received a request from Jill Williams and asked her to speak to Council. Ms. Williams stated the Calfee Community & Cultural Center has been invited to apply for additional ARC funds to revise and add to the ARC grant specifically for the expansion of the kitchen. Ms. Williams stated they are asking for permission to submit the request under the Town’s header in hopes to get the additional funding. Mr. Day asked if the addition has the same criteria and guidelines as the original ARC guidelines just additional funding. Ms. Williams stated it is the same thing that CCCC has requested. Mr. Day asked when is the las opportunity for the Council to respond to CCCC regarding the historical tax credit. Ms. Williams stated there is no application process but CCCC would like to close the tax credit by August, they would need an answer by May 1, 2024 or earlier. Mr. Day then thanked Ms. Burcham for her assistance and patience with him during the transition period of him coming in as the Town Manager. 15. Reminder of Future Council Meeting a.
