Detroit’s Community Benefits Ordinance Yields Hours of Dialogue and Almost No Community Benefits March 19, 2018 In 2016, Detroit voters approved one of the nation’s first community benefits ordinances. The new law requires developers — who are going to get tax breaks or other economic incentives for large projects in the city — to sit down with residents and listen to their concerns about how the project will impact communities. The measure made it on to the ballot, in part, because of concerns about ample tax abatements given to developers. Some thought the city was handing these out without enough consideration for the community that would be missing out on that revenue. In its first year, the new ordinance required six large development projects to follow the new process. Of the six projects: One is still in negotiations with the city One is the posterchild for this new law - a $100 million renovation of the abandoned Herman Kiefer Hospital campus north of downtown. The developer has agreed to contract with local residents for some of the rehabilitation work and says it will first offer new rentals to existing members of the community. Four belong to Dan Gilbert’s real estate company, Bedrock. The projects are a combination of new construction and rehabilitation projects, totaling $2.2 billion.
The 1920s-era Book Tower skyscraper has sat vacant for the past decade. Bedrock LLC plans to turn it into office spaces, residences and a small hotel.

WDET found that after 12 weeks of community benefits talks with residents across the four projects, Bedrock committed to two community benefits in its agreements with the city. The first: Bedrock would communicate with residents about constructionrelated activity. And the second: Bedrock would support job training initiatives, something the company has been doing for years. Bedrock officials say while they didn’t make major changes to the agreement, the company did do other things, like add greenspace to its plans. In addition to the six projects, developers twice volunteered to go through the meeting process — Palace Sports and Entertainment did this with the Detroit Pistons’ practice facility and Bedrock LLC with the former Detroit Free Press building rehab. WDET found the city last year conducted over 28 meetings for the
community benefits ordinance process. The conversations between community members and developers resulted in mitigating the negative impacts of the new construction and in some cases developers making tweaks to their plans. But, after all was said and done, the first year of Detroit’s Community Benefits ordinance yielded almost no community benefits that the city can enforce. And there’s debate about whether the law is effectively giving voice to community concerns or resulting in tangible neighborhood amenities. WHAT DOES A CBO MEETING LOOK LIKE?
Working with the Biggest Player in the Game Dan Gilbert is one of the biggest private property owners in downtown Detroit. His real estate development company, Bedrock, has five major projects projects — totaling about $2.2 billion in construction costs and $250 million in tax incentives — that participated in the community benefits process last year. So what was it like for residents to work with the biggest player in the game? To answer this, let’s look at one of Bedrock’s three community benefits processes - the Book Tower rehabilitation and Monroe Block development, two different projects that the city grouped into one process. Rogelio Landin lives across the street from the iconic, but abandoned, Book Tower. He remembers seeing activity around the tower. Last year crews power-washed the facade and have been gutting the building in preparation for a hotel, office space and residences.
“When I first saw what was happening, I thought it was just fantastic,” says Landin.
Landin, a 64-year-old lifelong Detroiter volunteered to serve on the Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) to the Book Tower and Monroe Block projects. He and eight others were selected by fellow residents and city officials to make up the nine-person panel that would spend the next several weeks learning about the projects and making recommendations to Bedrock.
Rogelio Landin, a 64-year-old downtown resident, served on two Neighborhood Advisory Councils last year.
Alexandra Novak, a 24-year-old urban planner, served on the NAC alongside Landin. She says combining these two very large, very different projects into one community benefits projects overwhelmed the NAC. Despite reading the ordinance and city officials explaining how everything would work, Novak says she was still confused about what exactly she could ask from the developer.

says Novak.
“What was I supposed to be asking about? … That was still really unclear to a lot of us throughout the whole process,”
The NAC brought up concerns about issues related to the construction itself: parking, traffic, pedestrian walkways and noise. Bedrock representatives
explained their existing plans, saying the company was working on a traffic logistics plan and would comply with other city ordinances. Company representatives also agreed to set up a direct line of communication for submitting complaints about any problems that would arise.
THE NATIONAL THEATRE CONTENTION
The National Theatre, designed by Albert Kahn, is over 100 years old and the last remaining theatre from DetroitĘźs first theatre district.

A significant portion of the conversations in the meetings dealt with an historically designated structure left standing on those mostly vacant lots off Monroe Street - the National Theatre. It was designed by architect Albert Kahn and is the oldest surviving theatre from Detroit’s first theatre district. Steve Ogden, vice president of government affairs for Quicken Loans, represented Bedrock and its projects at these community meetings. He said the company could not leave the theater in place. “It would have been on a structural wall that would not lend to the success of the development,” he says. “We were going to move it, it was just how it was going to get done.” Several NAC members thought the structure should be salvaged and restored
to some kind of working venue. Ogden says when all was said and done with the community benefits meetings, Bedrock settled on using the facade as part of the entryway to the development. “What we were proposing came together after several conversations with a lot of stakeholders in that space,” says Ogden. “We met with the National Historic Preservation Network, we met with the city’s historic advisory committee, we met with various historians and then our development community. We all came together, and guess what, we had three or four different perspectives. …There was no consensus.” Five out of the nine NAC members submitted a letter to the Detroit City Council saying Bedrock’s response was unsatisfactory, and that they had asked for alternative design solutions that would better honor the historic site.
What Came Out of The Community Benefits Ordinance Meetings? While Bedrock did not agree to save the theatre, Ogden says the company made other changes like incorporating more greenspace into their designs. But, when all was said and done, the company and the city did not change their development agreement to include major community benefits. And according to the new law, developers do not have to agree to anything. Overall, Ogden says the company was pleased with the experience of going through the community benefits process.
“This did not slow us down. What it helped us do is tell our own story,” says Steve Ogden, vice president of government relations for
Quicken Loans. “What we’re faced with in this organization is leaks to the media and people are running out trying to say what we’re up to, and so this really gave us a chance to tell our own story and share our vision,” he says. Alexandra Novak says she enjoyed working with Bedrock representatives and is glad they will be doing the work in her neighborhood. But she was not completely satisfied with the outcome of the neighborhood council’s work. “As far as responding to our concerns and things we feel are really important, [Bedrock] tends to dance around a direct answer,” Novak says. “[After the community benefits process finished] it was like, ‘I don’t know why we spent all our time and energy doing that if you weren’t going to really care or try hard to respond to our needs.’”
“I don’t know why we spent all our time and energy doing that if [Bedrock wasn’t] going to really care or try hard to respond to our needs,” says Neighborhood Advisory Council member Alexandra Novak. Rogelio Landin, Novak’s fellow NAC member, saw it differently. “I think Bedrock has extended themselves, to the extent that anyone can, above and beyond to meet, wherein possible, the expectation of the NACs,” he says.
Room for Improvement Because the new ordinance has passed the one-year mark, City Council can amend it. And there are a couple of changes that council members say they support.
First, some city administrators and residents who have participated in the community benefits process have expressed an overarching concern: time. Rogelio Landin, the downtown Detroit resident who served on two of the NACs for Bedrock projects, including the Hudson’s skyscraper which broke ground in December, says they were meeting almost weekly to put shovels in the ground before the end of the year.
Bedrock broke ground in December 2017 on what will become Detroitʼs tallest skyscraper.
“It was fast tracked. It was fast paced,” says Landin. “People would have liked to have had more time to really go out and do more community engagement to get more input and more ideas.” Reports from City Council’s Legislative Policy Division over the past year
repeatedly recommended that council extend the amount of time alloted for these meetings, stating,
“The timeline, as it stands, does not have the necessary amount of time built in for thoughtful requests or responses from either the NAC (Neighborhood Advisory Council) or developer.” City Council Member Scott Benson says extending the timeline is on the top of the list for proposed changes. In addition to the timeline adjustment, City Council Member Raquel Castaneda-Lopez says she’d like to see city officials do more detailed civic engagement work, such as educating and preparing communities before a development comes to the neighborhood. “Four to six weeks to run through a community benefits process is a little disingenuous to have true community engagement in development,” she says. As it stands, that education comes during the process, which takes away from time that could be spent consulting neighbors or talking with the developer. The second on the list of changes has to deal with transparency. Benson and Castaneda-Lopez say they will support changes to the law that make provisions for getting NAC members the documents they request in a timely manner. Benson says several projects are already expected to trigger the Community Benefits Ordinance this year, so the city will have more opportunity to implement these changes. Was the first year successful? Read some expert opinions
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY COUNCIL? To serve on a Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC), you must live in the impact area of the new development. This is determined by census tract. If a new large development is slated for your neighborhood, the city will mail you a flyer informing you of the first community meeting. At that meeting you can nominate yourself for the council and your fellow neighbors and city officials will choose 9 people from that pool of nominations. *ALL of the meetings related to the Community Benefits Ordinance are public.

Detroit's inclusionary housing ordinance, explained
The Hamilton, formerly Milner ArmsNick Hagen
Last September, housing advocates and members of city council stood outside the Spirit of Detroit statue downtown for an announcement about the justpassed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO). The ordinance, which stipulates that housing developments subsidized with over $500,000 in city or federal funds must include affordable housing, was a milestone moment for the city—a degree of housing equity had been enshrined at a time when property values and rental rates were booming.
And yet, there was a noticeable amount of dissent at the announcement. Some developers thought that requiring affordable units would freeze development at a critical juncture. On the other hand, housing advocates, and even Mary Sheffield, the councilmember who shepherded the ordinance, thought the requirements were too lenient. Half a year later, questions remain. Has the IHO had its intended impact? Who, if anyone, has been and will be affected by it? And, most importantly, is it sufficient to ensure mid- and low-income Detroiters will have housing options in the most desirable parts of the city? Detroit's rental scene Housing in Detroit today is not affordable for many of its residents. A little data proves this point. According to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, at some point this decade over half of Detroiters became renters. The average monthly rental price citywide in 2016 was $702—a number which has almost certainly increased since. In downtown and Midtown, rents are even higher. Assuming a common recommendation that 30 percent of a household's income should go towards rent, individuals making $28,080 a year, or about 60 percent of the area median income (AMI), could comfortably afford that amount. (Area median income is determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and locally encompasses the Detroit-WarrenLivonia Metropolitan Statistical Area.) Detroit's median income, however, is $28,099, meaning about half the population would struggle to save or pay off debts, have to forgo certain necessities, or barely scrape by to afford these rates.
Many in Detroit's housing scene, including a broad swath of developers of multi-family buildings, recognize that average Detroiters cannot and will not be able to afford almost all the new market rate units being built without making sacrifices. See the right sidebar for a list of some of the multi-family developments underway in Detroit --->>>
That's why, back in 2014, Sheffield convened experts and stakeholders to craft what would eventually become the Inclusive Housing Ordinance. Francis Grunow, an urban policy consultant who was part of those discussions, thinks it was wise of Detroit to get ahead of the negative consequences of gentrification. "If you look at examples from other cities that struggle with affordability like San Francisco, New York City, or D.C.," he says, "they would probably say from a policy perspective that they wished they had passed something years before."
Francis Grunow - photo by Marvin Shaouni Sheffield points out how reasonable the IHO is—developers can waive the obligation on one building if they find a "substitute structure" and it only affects developers who receive subsidies. "The ordinance brings the City closer to delivering a real and tangible benefit for Detroiters for the tax incentives and public funds/assistance developers receive," she wrote by email. Imperfect but important While some have voiced concerns about the IHO's potential to inhibit development, there's little indication it's had that effect. A symbolic version of the ordinance took place in 2015 when Mayor Mike Duggan announced his goal that all new residential contain affordable housing. Since, numerous developments that voluntarily meet the city's affordability goals have been announced.
"The effect was already in place prior to the ordinance," says Richard Hosey, a developer and president of the Detroit Housing Commission who was also part of Sheffield's IHO working group. "The push from the mayor's office and city council let people know this is important, this is not going away. ‌ Developers in 2010 knew the only way to get the bankers on their side was to build something of quality. Developers now know the only way to truly get the city on their side is to include affordable housing —even without subsidies." Most of the debate around the ordinance Richard Hosey relates to where the affordability line was drawn—developers must make 20 percent of a building's units affordable at 80 percent AMI. While that number may be considered affordable for the rest of Wayne County, that's still well above the median income in the city of Detroit. For that reason, the ordinance originally also included stipulations for units at 50 and 60 percent AMI. "Unfortunately," Sheffield wrote, "an amendment was proposed and the spread was eliminated by a majority vote." While Sheffield was a little disappointed in the final outcome, many felt that given the competing interests and the importance of getting something done, the final result was acceptable. "I don't think it's unreasonable to subsidize people at that level," says Hosey. "These are folks who aren't thinking about buying a new Benz, but thinking
rather, 'If I save everything, I should be able to retire.'" Hosey adds that the solution to creating affordable housing options for people at every income bracket will come from a variety of sources, such as the growth and upkeep of affordable single-family homes (which make up 70 percent of Detroit's housing), and what planners refer to as "naturally occurring" affordable housing funded through federal programs like block grants. The Detroit Affordable Housing Development and Preservation Fund, also part of the IHO, will be another part of the solution. Funded through penalties accrued from developers who don't abide by the IHO guidelines and sales of city-owned commercial property, the fund will generate $2 million annually to use towards housing projects affecting people at 50 percent AMI or lower. Such projects could include making a building ADA compliant, preventing homelessness, or supporting the activities of a nonprofit that develops affordable housing, to name a few. Another positive to take away from the process is the way the ordinance was systematically crafted. The city recognized a need, spent years engaging important actors in the field, then passed something accepted by most. "Is it perfect? No," says Grunow. "There are valid questions around providing quality housing for people at lower income brackets. But at the same time, everyone made an attempt to split the difference. ‌ This was good example of how community interests and the city can work together on crafting something. Not everyone was 100 percent pleased, but at least everybody had some say in how it evolved and what it looked like."

I. INTRODUCTION Bedrock LLC proposes to undertake an adaptive reuse/rehabilitation of the historic Detroit Free Press Building, located at 321 W. Lafayette. The 14-story Art Deco masterpiece housed the Detroit Free Press newspaper, including all associated operations, when it opened in 1925. The building, which also contained rentable retail and commercial space, was commissioned by Free Press owner E.D. Stair. Historic features include: exterior limestone carvings by New York sculptor Ulysses Ricci, advertising room murals depicting early Detroit history by Roy C. Gamble, to name a few. On July 23, 1998, the Free Press left its home of nearly 75 years, where much of the city’s best journalism had been created. Since the Free Press vacated the building it has fallen into a state of severe disrepair. Bedrock LLC projects to spend $69 million to transform the historic Detroit Free Press Building, located at 321 W. Lafayette. The project will create a mixed-use development that will include retail on the first floor, office space on the second and third floors, and residential apartments on the remaining floors above. Construction is expected to begin in the 3rd Quarter of 2017. The developer is seeking approval of a Brownfield Plan for the project (Attachment L). Other additional public financing incentives include seeking approval for a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone Tax Abatement, a Michigan Brownfield Tax Credit, and State and Federal Historic Credits. The below summary notes that the minimum threshold development cost for engagement with the Community Benefits Ordinance (CBO) process is $75 million. As noted above, Bedrock LLC proposes to spend $69 million on the rehabilitation of the historic Detroit Free Press Building. However, Bedrock LLC has agreed to voluntarily engage with the community by following the Tier 1 section of the CBO process to determine the outstanding issues related to the project; and the best means of mitigating the concerns pertaining directly to the project. This report outlines the process the City and the Developer has undertaken in support of Bedrock LLC’s efforts to voluntarily engage in the CBO process.

III. PUBLIC NOTICE AND IMPACT AREA The first public meeting for the Detroit Free Press Rehabilitation took place on June 5, 2017 from 6-8 PM. The meeting was sponsored by Bedrock LLC and held at One Woodward Building, Beacon Room, 2nd Floor, 1 Woodward, Detroit MI, 48226. The notice that is attached to this report was mailed to approximately 1000 residents within the Impact Area, as described below. Thirteen (13) people signed into the meeting, twelve (12) being from outside the community and one (1) resident living in the impact area. The meeting attendees were notified of subsequent CBO meetings, which were tentatively set to take place on June 12th, June 15th, and June 28th. These meetings were later rescheduled to be held on June 15th, June 19th, and July 6th. The ordinance requires Public Notice of the first meeting be mailed to all residents within the Impact Area at least ten (10) days before the meeting. Planning and Development Department (PDD) staff delivered the notices to the City of Detroit mailroom on May 24, 2017. Notice of the meeting was provided via a flyer developed by PDD. Additional outreach was undertaken by District 6 Department of Neighborhoods (DON) Deputy Manager and PDD staff so that City staff could generate more interest for the second CBO meeting, which was held on June 15, 2017. Specifically, on June 14th and June 15th 2017, PDD and DON staff distributed flyers within the boundaries of the Impact Area, targeting community areas of residential buildings. The effort also included the e-mailing flyers to building managers within the Impact Area to distribute through mass email to residents, distributing flyers to local businesses within the impact Area, and distributing flyers directly to residents in public spaces within the Impact Area. The project’s CBO information, including notice for all meetings, was posted on the Planning and Development Department’s CBO website. The link to the Detroit Free Press CBO Process can be found at: http://www.detroitmi.gov/Government/Departments-andAgencies/Planning-and-Development-Department/Community-Benefits-Ordinance#cbo-3 Impact Area The Impact Area, as depicted below and in Attachment C included the boundaries of the Census Tract within which the subject building is located, Census Tract # 5208, as required by the CBO. It was noted that the Census Tract within which the subject building is located is dominated by commercial uses, with limited numbers of actual residents/residential properties. PDD staff therefore extended the boundaries of the Impact Area to include a wider area north of the Census Tract, north of Michigan Avenue, in an effort to include a greater number of residents in the engagement process. The final Impact Area boundaries are roughly Bagley, Grand River, and W. Elizabeth to the north; Woodward to the east; 6th and Trumbull to the west; and the Detroit River to the south.

V. MEETINGS June 5, 2017 The first meeting of the CBO process was held at The Beacon (1 Woodward Detroit MI 48226), within the boundaries of the Impact Area on June 5th from 6 – 8 PM. The purpose of this meeting was: 1) To allow the developers to present the project to the public; 2) To elect two (2) Neighborhood Advisory council (NAC) members; 3) To get feedback from the general public on impacts of the building in their neighborhood. The following narrative outlines the trajectory of the first public meeting. Approximately 3 community members attended the meeting, of which, one lived in the Impact Area. This attendee, Beverley Burns, nominated herself to serve on the NAC and voted for herself. Therefore, much of the discussion for this first meeting was around the next steps to ensure that subsequent meetings had more community attendance. 1) R. Steven Lewis from PDD opened the meeting with introductions of the development team and City staff. 2) District 6 CM Raquel Castaneda-Lopez, CM President Brenda Jones and CM At-Large Janee Ayers (staff members) gave remarks on the project 3) PDD representative, Jennifer Ross, presented the Planning and Development Department’s overview of the CBO and the roles and responsibility of NAC members; as well as future meetings to come. She also discussed the creation of the Impact Area and potential impacts which might arise as a result of the project. 4) Arthur Jemison from Housing and Revitalization answered questions regarding affordability. 5) Bedrock representatives presented the Free Press Building renovation and initial programming of the building’s interior spaces. Issues Raised by the Community Present The community raised a few issues – some directly related to the impact of the facility; and some that were not directly related but based on precedent development. Below are the principle issues raised in the forum: 1) Concern expressed about affordable housing and proportion within the facility 2) Concern expressed about NAC procedures moving forward 3) Concern expressed about the tax abatements being offered

June 15, 2017 The second meeting of the CBO process took place from 5:30-7:30 PM in the Erma Lois Henderson Auditorium located on the 13th floor of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, 2 Woodward Ave. The purpose of this meeting was 1.) An introduction to, and seating of the full NAC 2.) To present the project to board members and the general public from the impact area who may not have been at the first meeting and 3.) For the developer to gather feedback from the NAC and the community on project impacts. An agenda was prepared and distributed to NAC members, the public, and the respective offices of City Council members. Officially, thirty-four people signed the sign-in-sheet. NAC members present include Beverly Burns, Eric Plummer, Leslie Tom, Kim Johnson, Alexandra Novak, Andres Rosenthal, James Martin, Debra Walker, and Will Butler. The following narrative outlines the trajectory of the second meeting. 1) Jennifer Ross opened the meeting to announce the order of presentation, and acknowledge the representative City Council members. 2) PDD staff presented the newly seated NAC and information packet including the agenda, meeting notice, slide show presentation, and a copy of the Community Benefits Ordinance. 3) The representative from Bedrock LLC gave a brief presentation of the Free Press rehabilitation project to update new NAC members and residents attending the meeting for the 1st time 4) Jennifer Ross presented the PDD’s overview of the CBO process as this was the first meeting which included 9 NAC members. She also discussed potential impacts which might arise as a result of the project. Vince Keenan with the DON outlined the roles and responsibility of NAC members. Arthur Jemison from Housing Revitalization addresses questions/concerns re: affordable housing. Note that this was the first meeting in attendance by the LPD representative, Kimani Jeffrey, as the representative was chosen after the first meeting. Issues Raised by the Community Present The NAC, community, and the City Council members present raised a number of issues – some directly related to the impact of the facility; and some that were not directly related, but based on precedent development. Below are the principle issues raised in forum: NAC Guidelines – Whether it was possible for the NAC to hold independent meetings to privately discuss CBO ordinance and impact. x City Council Response: The NAC is allowed to hold private meetings away from City Council, Planning, and Developer. Council Member Castañeda-López offered assistance with for holding private meetings and encouraged NAC to reach out
8
CBO Process – Concern about CBO process being rushed, NAC having access to Developer’s documents to review, and if NAC will influence outcome x Developers Response: - Developer acknowledged that theCBO process was being driven by the Developer and is a rushed process in order to get it before City Council before they go on recess July 25th. They are attempting to stick with the construction schedule and get through the approval process which has to get approved by the state - They will deliver plan on their portfolio of properties by 11 AM the next day - What the NAC does is legitimate and will influence the outcome but whether or not City Council denies financial incentives based on NAC’s recommendations is untested Employment and Workforce – Inquiry into if Bedrock will continue to follow the 51% rule once the building is complete x Developers Response: – - There are currently plans to hire 10 full-time employees to run the building and every effort will be made to hire Detroit residents; - Bedrock encourages retail tenants to follow the 51% rule - Use Detroit-based business where they can but in some instances there is not enough skilled trades - such as steel workers - available to meet the 51% quota - are actively working on workforce development and have invested in Randolph Technical School to prepare the workforce necessary for future development projects and employ Detroit residents Affordable Housing – Issues surrounding affordable housing and if the rule of spreading the 20% across their portfolio allows for skewing in certain neighborhoods. x Developers Response:– - The proposed affordable housing ordinance requires that 20% of rental units be affordable which is defined by 80% of the AMI taken from areas like Warren, Livonia, and Detroit which is $38,000 to $50,000. Because Bedrock owns so many properties they are attempting to work out a deal with the City in which the 20% rule would be spread across their entire portfolio, not each building; - Not every property is appropriate for affordable housing and the plan is to produce affordable housing in the same geographic area in order to create mixed neighborhoods Quality of life – Desire expressed for increased walkability, mobility, sustainability, greenspace, retail offering essential goods and services for conducting daily living such as grocery stores and medical care, and supporting the educational system Downtown by coordinating with other major developers in supporting programs such as school libraries, music programs, etc. x Developer Response: 9

The meeting was sponsored by Bedrock LLC and held at One Woodward Building, Beacon Room, 2nd Floor, 1 Woodward, Detroit MI, 48226. There was a posting of the event on the PDD’s CBO website to note time, place, and day of this event to the public. The purpose of this meeting was: 1) To allow PDD the opportunity to present the NAC’s final Impact Report and the Developer’s response to the community; 2) To allow the Developer to respond to the NAC’s questions; 3) To allow City of Detroit staff the opportunity to address questions about the CBO process and City-related questions; and 4) To allow the public the opportunity to ask questions. Officially 6 people from the public were in attendance in the audience; excluding CM Castañeda-López and City staff. NAC members present included Beverly Burns, Leslie Tom, Debra Walker, Will Butler, Andres Rosenthal, and Melody Martin. The following narrative outlines the trajectory of the meeting: 1) Jennifer Ross with PDD opened the public meeting to announce the order of presentation, and acknowledge the representative City Council members. Ms. Ross then presented a general outline of the sections within the CBO which involved the NAC’s expression of their concerns and the Developer’s response to these issues. Ms. Ross also outlined a preliminary list of questions that the NAC submitted to the Developer on 6/12/2017 (captured in Appendix I), the NAC’s Impact Report, and the Developer’s response to the NAC’s Impact Report/remaining concerns (captured in Appendices J and K and in the below Section 6). 2) The NAC was allowed the opportunity to voice additional convers to the Developer.
13
Issues Raised by the Community Present
The NAC members present raised several issues – some directly related to the impact of the facility; and some that were not directly related, but based on precedent development. The following generally captures the discussion between the NAC and the Developer. Project Fluidity – Inquiry noting that the project is in its very early stage and that a number of the answers to the NAC’s questions/concerns were not “concrete” Affordable Housing – Inquiry noting remaining concerns about the fact that the Freep building will not include affordable housing. Also, concerns that Bedrock supply affordable housing units in the CBD were raised. Finally, the NAC wanted to know what happens if both the City Ordinance for Affordable Housing and the Developer/City agreement for providing affordable housing across their portfolio did not happen: x Developer Response: - The Developer is working with the administration to create an agreement which would spread the 20% housing requirement across Bedrock’s entire portfolio. The Developer also noted that affordable housing “Preservation”, i.e. partnering with other owners of affordable housing units which are about to revert to market rate, night be an option. Specifically they would provide support to their partners to ensure that the units remained as affordable. Finally, the Developer noted that the majority of their portfolio is located within the CBD (with the exception of the City Modern development in Brush Park), therefore most affordable housing units they provide will be in the CBD. Community Input – The NAC wanted clarification re: their concerns with the gathering of community input: x Developer Response: - The Developer agreed to host regular meetings within the Freep Building in order to enable community input. He also posed the idea that the NAC members serve as boots on the ground resources within the community. Developer also noted that they intend to supply a single point of contact who will attend these meetings and address any NAC/community questions along the way. Jobs – The NAC wanted clarification on the process for the reporting on the job requirement numbers for the project: x Developer Response: - The Developer will submit the report to the City as required. They will make that report available to the NAC upon its completion.

VI. NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY COUNCIL IMPACT REPORT AND DEVELOPER RESPONSES As per Sec.14-12-Tier 1 Projects, Subsection(d)(2) of the CBO, PDD is required to submit a Community Benefits Report to the Detroit City Council which includes the following: x An itemized list of the concerns raised by the NAC. x A method for addressing each of the concerns raised by the NAC, or why a particular concern will not be addressed. On June 21, 2017 the NAC submitted a preliminary list of 12 questions/concerns to the Developer which touched upon public arts, potential retail amenities, bicycle plans, job creation, affordable housing, parking, historic preservation, resolution of issues residents might have during construction, and additional lifestyle questions. The Developer answered those questions on June 23, 2017. PDD staff also provided further information for one of the NAC’s questions re: Historic Preservation on June 23, 2017. Please see Attachment I for these documents. On June 26, 2017, the NAC submitted their final Impact Report to the Developer for review and response. The Impact Report outlined 7 outstanding concerns/questions the body had with the project. Specifically, the remaining questions/concerns focused on the broad categories of job creation, affordable housing, parking, historical significance, construction, Fraternization/Community Input and placemaking. Additionally, the NAC outlined a list of 8 “pitfalls” associated with the implementation of the project’s CBO process (Attachment J). On June 30, 2017, the Developer submitted a document which addressed each of the concerns raised by the NAC in their Impact Report. Note that both the Impact Report and Developer response frequently REFER BACK TO THE June 21/23, 2017 PRELIMINARY LIST OF QUESTIONS which was exchanged between the NAC and the Developer. Therefore, the following table includes the general NAC concern; the Developer’s applicable/associated answer, pulled from the June 21/23 preliminary list of questions; the status of the concern as outlined in the NAC’s Final impact Report; and the Developer’s Final response to the NAC’s stated concern.
15
Jobs Concerns/Benefits The Developer has confirmed that by existing requirements, 51% of the work hours on the project have to be performed by Detroit residents. The Developer estimates that about ten post-construction jobs would be created for individuals employed by the landlord; at this point it’s not possible to estimate the number of jobs created by tenants in the building.
Developer 6/23 Response to NAC’s Status of Issue NAC’s 6/21 Request/Document Additional Requests
Developer Final Response
We are attaching a copy of the City of Detroit’s Executive Order related to this topic, 2016-1. Bedrock adheres to all Executive Orders and ordinances and will do the same with the Freep. We welcome the City’s related Skilled Trades Employment Program (STEP), which seeks to increase access for Detroiters to skilled trades careers. More information on that program can be found here:
Bedrock will share the reports with the NAC that are submitted to the City with respect to this project, as it relates to our compliance with the city’s current Executive Order.
The Developer’s 6/23 written response to NAC’s 6/21 Request 4 addresses this question adequately for the time being; the NAC requests periodic status reports on compliance with this requirement.

Affordable Housing Concerns/Benefits
Developer 6/23 Response to NAC’s Status of Issue NAC’s 6/21 Request/Document Additional Requests
Developer Response
The Developer and the City confirmed that a written agreement and/or ordinance are pending with approval expected by the end of July. To the extent that the NAC considers this to be an issue, the timing of approvals for such an agreement and/or ordinance could be problematic in light of the schedule that’s been proposed for our work. And if the Project is going to include affordable housing, the requirements around application, selection, transparency in decision-making and so on could be relevant to the NAC.
The City has a policy that there be 20% affordable housing associated with projects that receive tax incentives or receive land at a discounted price. It is also our understanding that an ordinance is going through council to formalize this policy, but nothing has yet been passed. Given the number of development projects Bedrock has close to one another, working with the City, we have developed a strategy to provide 20% affordable units across our portfolio. This will ensure that as Bedrock continues to support the redevelopment of the greater downtown, we will be supporting the development of an inclusive, mixed-income community.
Bedrock will forward relevant documents describing any affordable housing agreement with the city with respect to this Project, once it’s filed with the City Clerk.
The affordable housing Bedrock provides will include not only new construction, but also the preservation of existing affordable housing to ensure that residents currently living in affordable housing can continue to do so. We are working on an agreement that lays out this plan with the City, which we hope to finalize in the coming weeks. While there will not be affordable housing in the Freep building (as it is not economically feasible to do so in light of the very significant costs of restoring this distressed historic building), we have affordable housing under construction in Capitol Park and Brush Park and are continuing to explore other opportunities to provide affordable housing in Detroit. In terms of tenant selection, we would be happy to work with housing agencies as well as social support groups, area non-profits and churches to obtain referrals.
1. In response to NAC’s 6/1 Request 5, the Developer advised there will be no affordable housing in this project. This was new information to the NAC and accordingly, while the NAC appreciate the Developer’s additional information about affordable housing requirements and practices, we request a copy of the written agreement with the City that confirms the City’s and the Developer’s agreement that no affordable housing will be provided in this project. If there is no such agreement at this time, the NAC requests to be advised approximately when the agreement will be made final, and requests to be provided with a copy of such agreement immediately.

Parking Concerns/Benefits
Developer 6/23 Response to NAC’s 6/21 Request/Document
Status of Issue NAC’s Additional Requests
Developer Response
The Developer has no plans for parking as a part of the project, so presumably the City does not require it. This places a burden on existing surface lots and/or nearby parking structures as well as on-street spaces.
The link below will provide a comprehensive view of the available parking around the Free Press Building and throughout the CBD. The two concentric rings depict a quarter mile and half mile from the Freep building. Parking garages are shown in dark blue, while surface lots are shaded lighter blue. Clicking on the respective sites will display street address and reported parking count for each of the selected locations.
In response to NAC’s 6/21 Requests 6 and 7, the Developer provided substantial information as to potential measures to alleviate parking limitations and costs, and to enhance safety. The NAC requests to be periodically updated on the progress in this area.
Bedrock will update the NAC on this matter bi-annually on or before June 30 and December 31st, throughout the duration of construction.
Detroit CBD Parking Map The Bedrock controlled parking count is roughly 2,200 spaces if 1401 1st Street is included, which is on the edge of the 3-block radius from the building. If that garage is excluded, the Bedrock owned count drops to less than 1,600 bedrock owned spaces. Parking rates vary across these sites based on type (garage vs. surface lot), proximity to the CBD, and freeway access among other factors. Utilization also varies across the sites, with those closest to the CBD typically having the highest utilization Monday – Friday. The initial study attribution is noted by clicking the arrow in the upper left corner of the web page. Residents are encouraged to work with Universal Parking Management, who manages Bedrock’s garages. The garages we own contain over 18,000 stalls in all. We are also working on programs to minimize the expense for people that live and work downtown and only need access to their vehicles on the weekends. They would have the opportunity to park outside of the Central Business District Monday through Friday and then would have weekend access to a garage closer
18
to their home for convenience on the weekends.

Historical Significance Concerns/Benefits
Developer 6/23 Response to Status of Issue Developer NAC’s 6/21 NAC’s Additional Response Request/Document Requests
The project is apparently governed in this respect by local, state and federal requirements.
Bedrock is in the process of pulling all applicable historic preservation guidelines, as there are several that we have to address. We have a strong track record of historic preservation and both our team members and historic consultants have deep familiarity and respect for the requirements.
Both the Developer and the City have provided information that adequately addresses this question.
No response as the NAC feels that this concern was adequately addressed.
We have received a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City Historic Council for the exterior plan of the Free Press Building and will be in front of both the Historic District Commission for final approval next month for the storefronts. This ensures that they meet the historic criteria from the local office. The second track is our submission to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the State of Michigan’s historic department that approves the historic portions of the building. This is then sent for submission to the National Park Service at the federal level as it relates to Historic Tax Credits for the building. Overall, this is a threepart process with Part One and Part Two ensuring we agree to the criteria and Part Three verifying that the work was completed per the plans. Appropriate oversight by both the local and state historic offices again ensure that the agreed upon work remains in compliance.

Construction Concerns/Benefits
1. Schedule for the project 2. Assuring timely notices to residents of all major activity that could affect them 3. Noise, traffic congestion, blocked streets and sidewalks 4. Dust, pollution, hazardous material risk 5. Power interruptions 6. Assuring neighbors are informed of complaint process if they see a need to make one 7. Specifics on the environmentallyfriendly aspects of the project..
Developer 6/23 Response Status of Issue NAC’s to NAC’s 6/21 Additional Requests Request/Document Bedrock is committed to helping make Detroit a more walkable city, and as such, all of our residential developments are situated so that residents are never far from the amenities Detroit’s urban environment has to offer. We have no plans to provide shuttles to the QLine for this building, as it is a relatively short walk away of approximately 0.3 miles. We will absolutely be using a wide variety of marketing materials, both online and printed to help people with interest and of every demographic find us.
The Developer’s responses to the NAC’s 6/21 Requests 10 and 12 will substantially address construction issues. Additionally, the NAC requests that the Developer and City consider maintaining a safe pedestrian walkway on Lafayette (and Washington and Cass when necessary) for the duration of the construction. Further, the NAC requests to be kept apprised of developments on lifestyle issues as the Project progresses. Further, the NAC asks that the e-blast Bedrock has not yet finalized a protocol described by the program for this building, Developer in its responses to meaning that we are unsure of Request 12 be implemented the exact square footage for all breakdown for office, retail, and commercial/retail/residential residential space. Laundry residents of the Impact Area. facilities will be dependent on how many residential units are programmed. In Bedrock’s 28Grand project, laundry facilities have been located on every floor. In the Malcomson project, a stacked washer and dryer is in every unit. Every project is unique and these are two examples of how laundry facilities may be provided.
Developer Response In response to the NAC’s request for a pedestrian walkway during construction, per the city code, Bedrock will take all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of pedestrians in and around the site during construction. In response to the request for being kept apprised of developments on lifestyle issues, Bedrock will endeavor to provide email updates regarding significant construction impacts to those residents in the impact area who have supplied email addresses. Lastly, as requested, Bedrock will utilize the e-blast protocol process that was explained in the 6/23 response to the NAC.
Bedrock will set up an e-blast protocol to the NAC via which closures and other major construction related items can be proactively communicated based on the email list that NAC members have provided. We are open to allowing the e-blast distribution list grow to include other members of the community if that is the NAC’s preference. Some construction processes and closures are more need-based and spontaneous than planned, so while we will try to communicate all instances
21
that would affect the surrounding community, we may not always be available to in advance. In those instances, as mentioned above, the community will have access to contact the Rock Security Command Center if construction issues are negatively impacting our neighbors. Additionally, the city requires of all developers a comprehensive street closure plan through the permitting process. We will be happy to provide that plan to the NAC and the community via an e-blast once it has been developed.

Fraternization / Community Input Concerns/Benefits
Developer 6/23 Response to NAC’s 6/21 Request/Document
1. How will This specific question was not community input outlined in the NAC 6/21 impact document. development? 2. Currently, emails and NAC members are posting fliers in apartment buildings. Who will pay for future public meeting announcements?
Status of Issue NAC’s Additional Requests 1. How will community input be collected? 2. How will community needs of grocery, laundry be addressed?
Developer Response
1. The community can utilize the email address FreepCBO@bedrockdetroit.com to send community input. 2. The plan for laundry hasn’t been finalized however, there will either be in unit washer and dryers or a laundry room within the development. In terms of groceries, there are several grocery stores in the area in addition to grocers that now deliver in Detroit. Tenants are choosing their lifestyle and can decide whether they will walk, ride a bike, use a ridehailing service like Uber or Lyft, have their groceries delivered or utilize a ZIP car.
23
Placemaking Concerns/Benefits
Developer 6/23 Response to NAC’s 6/21 Request/Document
1. Outdoor This specific question Placemaking: was not outlined in the How will the NAC 6/21 document. project enhance the livability of the area (ie place-making, walkability, bikeability, lighting, safety, inviting outdoor space, etc? NOTE: This is less of a concern for cameras and more of a concern for atmospheric feeling of a safe, welcoming space; see CPTED, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, also PPS, Project for Public Spaces)
Status of Issue NAC’s Additional Requests
Developer Response
The NAC appreciates additional information provided by the Developer as to its commitment to placemaking, biking and safety. The NAC asks that the Developer give strong consideration to including human-scale lighting on the sidewalks, in order to reduce shadows from current towering light poles; separating the sidewalk vertically from the road in order to enhance the sense of safety; planning for sidewalks wide enough, and unimpeded by light poles in the middle, to allow for seating, pedestrian and possible bike traffic; providing bike racks at the building, and advocating for bike lanes to connect the project area to other bike lanes and activity centers like Cobo Hall and Campus Martius.
Bedrock agrees and aggressively supports placemaking, pedestrianization, and cycling efforts throughout downtown; we will continue to explore opportunities to do so. We will make sure that there is adequate, high-quality pedestrian space, seating, and other amenities on the sidewalk in front of this building and we would be supportive of streetscape redevelopment and bike lane development efforts led by the City and other stakeholders in this area. Our architecture and design team will pay attention to the quality of light coming from exterior lights on our building and will work with the City and other partners to make sure there are appropriate levels of light outside of this building. We will have bike racks outside of this building, the number of racks will be determined by the final program of the building. There will likely be some indoor storage for bikes too but this will depend on the final program of the building.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 2016-1
TO:
ALL BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY CLERK, DEVELOPERS, CONTRACTORS, AND DETROIT ECONOMIC GROWTH CORPORATION (DEGC).
FROM:
MICHAEL E. DUGGAN, MAYOR
SUBJECT:
UTILIZATION OF DETROIT RESIDENTS ON PUBLICLY-FUNDED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
DATE:
December 16, 2016
WHEREAS, it is the policy of this Administration to encourage and maximize the utilization of Detroit residents on all City contracts and all projects benefited by City subsidies. An important component of the economic revitalization of Detroit is the employment of Detroit residents. Accordingly, this Executive Order directs any entity entering into a publicly-funded construction project to implement specific residency targets for its workforce, as follows: 1. A “publicly-funded construction project,” for purposes of this Executive Order, means (a) any construction contract for more than $3,000,000.00 (Three Million Dollars) made by the City with any person or entity; and (b) any construction project for which the City, affiliated public or quasi-public entities of the City, or any of their agents or contractors provides funds or financial assistance via any of the following methods, where total assistance from the City or its affiliated entities is over $3,000,000.00 (Three Million Dollars): (1) The sale or transfer of land below its appraised value; (2) Direct monetary support; (3) Public contributions originated by the State of Michigan or its agencies, the United States government or its agencies, or any other non-City government entity, and for which City approval is required and obtained; or (4) Tax increment financing. For purposes of calculating the total assistance directly provided through tax increment financing, tax revenue that would have accrued to all government entities shall be counted. Other persons or entities doing business with the City, but not covered by this section, may voluntarily agree to be bound by some or all of the substantive requirements of this Executive Order.
2. A “bona-fide Detroit resident,” for purposes of this Executive Order, means an individual who can demonstrate residency in the City of Detroit as of a date at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the person seeks to be employed for work on a publicly-funded construction project. Residency shall be established by the address listed on (a) any one of the following: State of Michigan identification card, State of Michigan driver’s license, or Detroit municipal ID; plus (b) any one of the following: Voter Registration Card, Motor Vehicle Registration, most recent federal, state, or City of Detroit tax returns, Lease/Rental agreement, the most recent utility bill (or utility affidavit signed by a landlord with respect to a leased residence), or most recent municipal water bill. Other forms of proof-of-residence may be accepted under certain circumstances. 3. All publicly-funded construction contracts shall include a provision providing that at least 51% of the workforce on the publicly-funded construction project shall be bona-fide Detroit residents. This requirement shall be referred to as the “Workforce Target.” The Workforce Target shall be measured by the hours worked by bona-fide Detroit residents on the publiclyfunded construction project. 4. Developers, general contractors, prime contractors and subcontractors are all required to comply with the terms of this Executive Order. Collectively, these entities are hereinafter referred to as “contractors.” It is, however, the sole responsibility of the person or entity contracting with the City of Detroit to require all of its subcontractors either to (a) meet the Workforce Target; or (b) make the required contribution to the City’s Workforce Training Fund, as provided in Paragraph 6 of this Executive Order. Contractors may utilize local unions, Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation, or other entities to help meet the Workforce Target. Failure to satisfy the requirements of this Executive Order shall constitute a breach of contract and may result in the immediate termination of the contract. 5. Upon execution of a publicly-funded construction contract, the City of Detroit’s Civil Rights, Inclusion and Opportunity Department (“CRIO”) shall determine whether the Workforce Target in the contract shall be measured periodically either (a) monthly or (b) quarterly. This period shall be referred to as the “measurement period.” Thereafter, for the duration of the construction project, the contractor shall, at the end of each measurement period, submit to CRIO a report indicating: (1) The total hours worked on the project during the preceding measurement period (“total work-hours”); (2) The total hours worked on the project by bona-fide Detroit residents during the preceding measurement period; and (3) If applicable, the amount by which the contractor fell short of meeting the Workforce Target. A contractor falling short of the Workforce Target shall report both (a) the raw number of total work-hours by which the contractor fell short of the Workforce Target; and (b) the percentage of total work-hours by which the contractor fell short of the Workforce Target.
6. A contractor who does not meet the Workforce Target in any measurement period shall help strengthen Detroit’s workforce by making a monetary contribution to the City’s CRIOadministered Workforce Training Fund, thereby supporting the skill development of Detroit residents. The required contribution for any contractor who does not meet the Workforce Target shall be the sum of the following: (1) For each work-hour comprising the first 0-10% of total work-hours by which the contractor fell short of the Workforce Target, 5% of the average hourly wage paid by the contractor on the publicly-funded construction project during the preceding measurement period. (2) For each work-hour comprising the second 0-10% of total work-hours by which the contractor fell short of the Workforce Target (if applicable), 10% of the average hourly wage paid by the contractor on the publicly-funded construction project during the preceding measurement period. (3) For each work-hour comprising the remaining 0-31% of total work-hours by which the contractor fell short of the Workforce Target (if applicable), 15% of the average hourly wage paid by the contractor on the publicly-funded construction project during the preceding measurement period.1 7. If a contractor contracts for labor through a union which is meeting the goals set for it under the Detroit Skilled Trades Employment Program, that contractor will be deemed to have met the Workforce Target with respect to the employees for which it contracted through such a union. Specifically: CRIO will make a periodic determination whether a union participating in the Detroit Skilled Trades Employment Program is meeting its established goals under that Program. For purposes of calculating a contractor’s compliance with the Workforce Target, a union which, as of the date a contractor executes its publicly-funded construction contract or subcontract, is meeting its goals under the Program shall be deemed to have no less than 51% of the hours worked by its members on the publicly-funded construction project worked by bona-fide Detroit residents. If bona-fide Detroit residents actually account for more than 51% of the hours worked by union members on a publicly-funded construction project, that actual percentage may be used for purposes of calculating compliance with the Workforce Target. 8. If CRIO determines a contractor is in non-compliance with the requirements of this Order, CRIO will notify the contractor, in writing, of the contractor’s non-compliance. If a contractor wishes to challenge a finding of non-compliance, the contractor may, within fifteen (15) days of the notice of non-compliance, file with CRIO a written notice challenging the finding of non-compliance, and detailing the reasons for that challenge. The challenge will then 1 Thus, for example, if 25% of the total work-hours performed on a publicly-funded construction project were performed by bona-fide Detroit residents, the contractor will have fallen short of the Workforce Target by 26% of the total work-hours. That contractor’s minimum required contribution would be the sum of (1) 5% of the average hourly wage for 10% of the total work-hours; (2) 10% of the average hourly wage for 10% of the total work-hours; and (3) 15% of the average hourly wage for 6% of the total work-hours.
be forwarded to a panel comprising of (1) the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corporation Counsel or his or her designee; (2) the head of the Department of Administrative Hearings or his or her designee; and (3) the Director of the Buildings, Safety, Engineering, and Environment Department, or his or her designee. The panel shall adjudicate the challenge and issue a written decision. The panel may, but need not, schedule an oral hearing on the challenge. If, following written notice of non-compliance and the adjudication of any challenge, the contractor fails or refuses to take corrective actions within thirty (30) days, the City of Detroit may do any of the following: (1) withhold from the contractor all future payments under the construction contract until it is determined that the contractor is in compliance; (2) refuse all future bids on city projects or applications for financial assistance in any form from the city or any of its departments, until such time as the contractor demonstrates that it has cured its previous non-compliance; (3) debar the contractor from doing business with the City of Detroit for a period of up to one year. In addition, the City of Detroit reserves the right to re-bid the contract, in whole or in part, or hire its own workforce to complete the work. 9. All applicable construction contracts, construction contract amendments, change orders and extensions shall include the terms of this Executive Order. CRIO shall have the responsibility for preparing administrative guidelines related to this Executive Order, and for monitoring and enforcing the provisions of this Executive Order. *

Pursuant to the powers vested in me by the 1963 Michigan Constitution and by the 2012 Detroit City Charter, I, Michael E. Duggan, Mayor of the City of Detroit, issue this Executive Order. This Executive Order is effective upon its execution and filing with the City Clerk and supersedes Executive Order No. 2014-4 issued by me on August 22, 2014. Provided, however, that this Executive Order shall not supersede the operation of any prior Executive Order with respect to any publicly-funded construction project on which construction activities have commenced as of the date of this Executive Order.

LEGAL MEETING NOTICE TO RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE IMPACT AREA OF THE DETROIT FREE PRESS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (SEE MAP ON BACK OF PAGE)
DETROIT FREE PRESS DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC KICKOFF MEETING DATE & TIME Monday, June 5, 2017 6:00pm – 8:00pm LOCATION One Woodward Building 1 Woodward Avenue Beacon Room, 2nd Floor Detroit, MI 48226 (see attached map and flier for more info) GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION The City of Detroit welcomes Bedrock LLC to present adaptive reuse/rehabilitation of the historic Detroit Free Press Building, located at 321 W. Lafayette. The 14-story Art Deco masterpiece housed the Detroit Free Press newspaper, including all associated operations, when it opened in 1925. The building, which also contained rentable retail and commercial space, was commissioned by Free Press owner E.D. Stair. Historic features include: exterior limestone carvings by New York sculptor Ulysses Ricci, advertising room murals depicting early Detroit history by Roy C. Gamble, to name a few. On July 23, 1998, the Free Press left its home of nearly 75 years, where much of the city’s best journalism had been created. Since the Free Press vacated the building it has fallen into a state of severe disrepair. Bedrock LLC projects to spend $69 million to transform the historic Detroit Free Press Building, located at 321 W. Lafayette. The project will create a mixed-use development that will include retail on the first floor, office space on the second and third floors, and residential apartments on the remaining floors above. Bedrock LLC has noted that the project is estimated to create 196 temporary construction related jobs and 10 permanent jobs. This total job creation number does not include employment created from tenants occupying the retail and commercial space, which is expected to create additional permanent full-time jobs. Construction is expected to begin in the 3rd Quarter of 2017. For more information on the project and the Community Benefits Process, please see the below website address KWWS ZZZ GHWURLWPL JRY *RYHUQPHQW 'HSDUWPHQWV DQG $JHQFLHV 3ODQQLQJ DQG 'HYHORSPHQW 'HSDUWPHQW &RPPXQLW\ %HQHILWV 2UGLQDQFH POTENTIAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION STRATEGIES The City of Detroit is aware of and acknowledges potential community concerns related to this project in the below areas: A. Construction Impacts – Noise, dust, and temporary sidewalk/street closures which might result from the rehabilitation B. Workforce Development – Will the development meet the requirement for the number of hours worked on the project by Detroit residents C. Stress on Existing Infrastructure – Will the introduction of new housing and commercial tax the existing water/sewer system? D. Affordable Housing – How will this project address affordable housing in Detroit Please bring any additional concerns to the conversation on the evening of June 5, 2017

TIMELINE – Where we have been in meeting the Ordinance requirements re: NAC concerns and Developers response?
FREE PRESS BUILDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT MEETING
2. Plans for what amenities you might add for retail and what the density might be around the area (i.e. grocery, bars, restaurants, etc.) We are currently in the early stages of redevelopment for this building, essentially everything about the use and merchandising is still to be determined. That said, the surrounding residents and day time office population will certainly be top of mind as we continue to refine our strategy. Our intention is to remain consistent with our typical retail merchandising strategy, which is focused on creating unique and engaging experiences through amazing retail destinations, food and beverage offerings, street level activation and neighborhood services.
1. Plan for any public arts fund and process to choose artists/engage community As discussed at the Free Press Building CBO meeting #3, Bedrock does not have a fund for public art, but it is something we do with many projects. We have a track record of engaging local artists including both in our recent small business mural project, for which we brought in three local artists in addition to hundreds of Family of Companies volunteers to paint murals throughout the city, as well as working with Charles McGee, who created a mural on our 28Grand development. Sydney James, another local artist, has created a mural in Bedrock’s Federal Reserve Building. There are also pieces by Tiff Massey, Bev Fishman, Scott Hocking, Tylonn Sawyer, and many others throughout Bedrock’s building portfolio. Like all of our projects, the Free Press Building will incorporate art in a thoughtful way.
June 21, 2017 Preliminary NAC Questions and Developer’s Reponses
FREE PRESS BUILDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT MEETING
4. Written documentation of the 51% requirement regarding work hours on the project We are attaching a copy of the City of Detroit’s Executive Order related to this topic, 2016-1. Bedrock adheres to all Executive Orders and ordinances and will do the same with the Freep. We welcome the City’s related Skilled Trades Employment Program (STEP), which seeks to increase access for Detroiters to skilled trades careers. More information on that program can be found here: http://www.detroitmi.gov/News/ArticleID/1169/City-Launches-New-InitiativetoEnsure-More-Detroiters-Have-Access-to-Skilled-Trades-Apprenticeships-and-Careers
3. Bicycle plans Bedrock is an advocate for cycling infrastructure in downtown Detroit. Bedrock, and the Quicken Loans Family of Companies, has previously invested in the design of a network of protected bike lanes in downtown Detroit (to be delivered by the Downtown Detroit Partnership in 2018) and would be supportive of bike lane network extensions that connect the Free Press Building to this network – and the city overall – via Fort Street, Lafayette Boulevard, Washington Boulevard, and Cass Avenue. Bedrock is also committed to providing bike storage and other bike related amenities in our residential and commercial properties. In Bedrock’s Malcomson project, bicycle storage is provided on each floor. In our 28Grand project, bicycle storage is located on the first floor. Bedrock is also supportive of MoGo Detroit bike share and would like to work with MoGo’s leadership to encourage the placement of a bike dock near the Free Press Building.

We are working on an agreement that lays out this plan with the City, which we hope to finalize in the coming weeks. While there will not be affordable housing in the Freep building (as it is not economically feasible to do so in light of the very significant costs of restoring this distressed historic building), we have affordable housing under construction in Capitol Park and Brush Park and are continuing to explore other opportunities to provide affordable housing in Detroit. In terms of tenant selection, we would be happy to work with housing agencies as well as social support groups, area non-profits and churches to obtain referrals.
5. Written confirmation of the current requirement for 20% affordable housing and a written description of the Developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to implement that requirement at the Free Press site including but not limited to the process for selection of tenants for the affordable units The City has a policy that there be 20% affordable housing associated with projects that receive tax incentives or receive land at a discounted price. It is also our understanding that an ordinance is going through council to formalize this policy, but nothing has yet been passed. Given the number of development projects Bedrock has close to one another, working with the City, we have developed a strategy to provide 20% affordable units across our portfolio. This will ensure that as Bedrock continues to support the redevelopment of the greater downtown, we will be supporting the development of an inclusive, mixed-income community. The affordable housing Bedrock provides will include not only new construction, but also the preservation of existing affordable housing to ensure that residents currently living in affordable housing can continue to do so.

7. The developer’s plan, if it has been created at this time, to assist tenants, both residential and commercial, to find regularly accessible nearby parking Residents are encouraged to work with Universal Parking Management, who manages Bedrock’s garages. The garages we own contain over 18,000 stalls in all. We are also working on programs to minimize the expense for people that live and work downtown and only need access to their vehicles on the weekends. They would have the opportunity to park outside of the Central Business District Monday through Friday and then would have weekend access to a garage closer to their home for convenience on the weekends.
The Bedrock controlled parking count is roughly 2,200 spaces if 1401 1st Street is included, which is on the edge of the 3-block radius from the building. If that garage is excluded, the Bedrock owned count drops to less than 1,600 Bedrock owned spaces. Parking rates vary across these sites based on type (garage vs. surface lot), proximity to the CBD, and freeway access among other factors. Utilization also varies across the sites, with those closest to the CBD typically having the highest utilization Monday – Friday.

Regarding the request for pertinent local, state and federal requirements for historical preservation, Jennifer Ross from the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Historic District Commission (and also Planning and Development Department), can provide the requested information.
The second track is our submission to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the State of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic department that approves the historic portions of the building. This is then sent for submission to the National Park Service at the federal level as it relates to Historic Tax Credits for the building. Overall, this is a three-part process with Part One and Part Two ensuring we agree to the criteria and Part Three verifying that the work was completed per the plans. Appropriate oversight by both the local and state historic offices again ensure that the agreed upon work remains in compliance.
We have received a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City Historic Council for the exterior plan of the Free Press Building and will be in front of both the Historic District Commission for final approval next month for the storefronts. This ensures that they meet the historic criteria from the local office.
8. Copies of pertinent local, state, federal requirements for historical preservation, together with the Developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process for complying with same Bedrock is in the process of pulling all applicable historic preservation guidelines, as there are several that we have to address. We have a strong track record of historic preservation and both our team members and historic consultants have deep familiarity and respect for the requirements.

10. Regarding additional lifestyle questions, please advise whether shuttles will be provided to the nearest QLine stop for residents; whether there are plans to assure diverse occupancy of the residences; whether the floor plans for market rate units will differ from the affordable units; and what laundry facilities will be provided. Bedrock is committed to helping make Detroit a more walkable city, and as such, all of our residential developments are situated so that residents are never far from the amenities Detroit’s urban environment has to offer. We have no plans to provide shuttles to the QLine for this building, as it is a relatively short walk away of approximately 0.3 miles.
Steve Ogden, Bedrock’s NAC representative, has shared his contact information with the NAC members in case of any problems during construction. Bedrock’s VP of Property Management, Krista Capp, will also make herself available to help and can be reached at (313-782-9730).
9. Written confirmation of the process for neighbors, both residential and commercial, to get prompt resolution of problems during construction—noise, obstruction, safety issues, for example All of our residents are given the Rock Security Command Center (RSCC) number to call with any interior or construction related issues after hours, and we will be happy to share that number with non-tenant neighbors as well. The RSCC takes all of their information and will send a security officer over to evaluate the issue and remedy it where possible. RSCC will also call the property manager to alert them to the problem if they cannot resolve it so that we can make calls to area construction project managers requesting a cease or change in operations. While it is much easier to control this for Bedrock construction projects, the RSCC can make these requests for non-Bedrock projects as well. Residents also have their property manager’s number to contact with any problems 24/7.

The total in-dollar incentive from the City all comes in the form of abating or capturing taxes that would not exist “but for” the development taking place. The City receives no tax benefits from the vacant building today. By utilizing these tax tools to make the redevelopment possible, the City will not lose any revenue it has today, but will instead get significant new revenue from all of the residents, jobs, and businesses that will occupy in the building. We will provide the
11. Regarding economic impacts, please advise whether retailers will be subsidized by the developer; the impact of NEZ and the length of the requirement for the residential units to be rentals; the total in dollar-incentive from the City and how those dollars will be spread throughout the project; and the Developer’s goals or plan to achieve at least 51% of hours on the job to Detroit residents, and whether these goals or plans apply to post-construction hours as well as those during construction. The NEZ property tax abatement is necessary for the project to be economically feasible. The NEZ is intended to help make rehabilitation projects possible by not imposing tax on the improvements being made for a period of up to 12 years, with a phase out after that. Separate from the NEZ, the Federal Historic Tax Credits require that the units be maintained as rental units for at least five years. If Bedrock were to convert to condominium units after that, and there are no plans to do so, Bedrock would have to work with the City and the State to request the transfer of the NEZ benefits to the ultimate owner.
We will absolutely be using a wide variety of marketing materials, both online and printed to help people with interest and of every demographic find us. Bedrock has not yet finalized a program for this building, meaning that we are unsure of the exact square footage breakdown for office, retail, and residential space. Laundry facilities will be dependent on how many residential units are programmed. In Bedrock’s 28Grand project, laundry facilities have been located on every floor. In the Malcomson project, a stacked washer and dryer is in every unit. Every project is unique and these are two examples of how laundry facilities may be provided.

12. Supplementing item 9 above, the Developer’s plan to keep the impact area apprised of ongoing construction impact—street and sidewalk closures, possible debris and so on. Bedrock will set up an e-blast protocol to the NAC via which closures and other major construction related items can be proactively communicated based on the email list that NAC members have provided. We are open to allowing the e-blast distribution list grow to include other members of the community if that is the NAC’s preference. Some construction processes and closures are more need-based and spontaneous than planned, so while we will try to communicate all instances that would affect the surrounding community, we may not always be able to in advance. In those instances, as mentioned above, the community will have access to contact the Rock Security Command Center if construction issues are negatively impacting our neighbors. Additionally, the city requires of all developers a comprehensive street closure plan through the permitting process. We will be happy to provide that plan to the NAC and the community via an e-blast once it has been developed.

Regarding the 51% Detroit hiring requirement, as noted in our response to Question #4 above, we will adhere to all Executive Orders and Ordinances.
FREE PRESS BUILDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT MEETING
The Impact Area includes many residents who live in apartments; notice to them of the first—and subsequent—meetings was spotty and resulted in only a single resident attending the first meeting. The nine-member NAC was not complete until the third scheduled meeting, and that—added to the compressed timeline the NAC was asked to meet—caused procedural challenges for the NAC members, each of whom has busy schedules. The NAC met with the Developer and the City, and conducted other communication via email and telephone. This proved effective for the current project. No doubt in large part because the CBO is so new, the “charge” to the NAC was not abundantly clear. For example, in one presentation the NAC was asked to focus on the negative effects of the Free Press Rehab project; the CBO, on the other hand, focuses on economic growth and prosperity for all residents. Further, it remains unclear what consideration should be given by the NAC to commercial and retail “residents” of the Impact Area. Future NACs might benefit from a clear description, at the outset, of the respective roles of the City, the pertinent City Council members, the Developer and the NAC. While the Free Press Rehab NAC took a broad view of relevant issues, we recognized that we may have raised issues not exactly pertinent to this project. Certainly, the NACs may raise whatever questions they wish, recognizing that their role is purely advisory; however, it may nevertheless help future NACs to hear examples of the scope of issues that may be pertinent to their projects. We believe that one challenge to the implementation of this CBO process is very simply that each project will be different from the one that came before, and the one that comes after. So while it will be critical to develop a process that is effective and efficient, that process will also need to be flexible in order to accommodate projects as varied as the few that have already been tested under the CBO. The process for future NACs must address the reality that not all NAC members will have equal access to, or capability with, technology.

The Developer has confirmed that by existing requirements, 51% of the work hours on the project have to be performed by Detroit residents. The Developer estimates that about ten post-construction jobs would be created for individuals employed by the landlord; at this point it’s not possible to estimate the number of jobs created by tenants in the building.

FINAL NAC IMPACT REPORT AND DEVELOPER RESPONSES
FREE PRESS BUILDING COMMUNITY BENEFIT MEETING
The Developer and the City confirmed that a written agreement and/or ordinance are pending with approval expected by the end of July. To the extent that the NAC considers this to be an issue, the timing of approvals for such an agreement and/or ordinance could be problematic in light of the schedule that’s been proposed for our work. And if the Project is going to include affordable housing, the requirements around application, selection, transparency in decision-making and so on could be relevant to the NAC.
Concerns/Benefits
The affordable housing Bedrock provides will include not only new construction, but also the preservation of existing affordable housing to ensure that residents currently living in affordable housing can continue to do so. We are working on an agreement that lays out this plan with the City, which we hope to finalize in the coming weeks. While there will not be affordable housing in the Freep building (as it is not economically feasible to do so in light of the very significant costs of restoring this distressed historic building), we have affordable housing under construction in Capitol Park and Brush Park and are continuing to explore other opportunities to provide affordable housing in Detroit. In terms of tenant selection, we would be happy to work with housing agencies as well as social support groups, area nonprofits and churches to obtain referrals.
The City has a policy that there be 20% affordable housing associated with projects that receive tax incentives or receive land at a discounted price. It is also our understanding that an ordinance is going through council to formalize this policy, but nothing has yet been passed. Given the number of development projects Bedrock has close to one another, working with the City, we have developed a strategy to provide 20% affordable units across our portfolio. This will ensure that as Bedrock continues to support the redevelopment of the greater downtown, we will be supporting the development of an inclusive, mixed-income community.
Developer 6/23 Response to NAC’s 6/21 Request/Document
Affordable Housing: 1. In response to NAC’s 6/1 Request 5, the Developer advised there will be no affordable housing in this project. This was new information to the NAC and accordingly, while the NAC appreciate the Developer’s additional information about affordable housing requirements and practices, we request a copy of the written agreement with the City that confirms the City’s and the Developer’s agreement that no affordable housing will be provided in this project. If there is no such agreement at this time, the NAC requests to be advised approximately when the agreement will be made final, and requests to be provided with a copy of such agreement immediately.
Status of Issue NAC’s Additional Requests
Bedrock will forward relevant documents describing any affordable housing agreement with the city with respect to this Project, once it’s filed with the City Clerk.

The Developer has no plans for parking as a part of the project, so presumably the City does not require it. This places a burden on existing surface lots and/or nearby parking structures as well as on-street spaces.
Concerns/Benefits
Parking:
Residents are encouraged to work with Universal Parking Management, who manages Bedrock’s garages. The garages we own contain over 18,000 stalls in all.

Developer 6/23 Response to NACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6/21 Request/Document
This specific question was not outlined in the NAC 6/21 document. Outdoor Placemaking: How will the project enhance the livability of the area (ie place-making, walkability, bike-ability, lighting, safety, inviting outdoor space, etc? NOTE: This is less of a concern for cameras and more of a concern for atmospheric feeling of a safe, welcoming space; see CPTED, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, also PPS, Project for Public Spaces)
Concerns/Benefits
Placemaking: The NAC appreciates additional information provided by the Developer as to its commitment to placemaking, biking and safety. The NAC asks that the Developer give strong consideration to including human-scale lighting on the sidewalks, in order to reduce shadows from current towering light poles; separating the sidewalk vertically from the road in order to enhance the sense of safety; planning for sidewalks wide enough, and unimpeded by light poles in the middle, to allow for seating, pedestrian and possible bike traffic; providing bike racks at the building, and advocating for bike lanes to connect the project area to other bike lanes and activity centers like Cobo Hall and Campus Martius.
Status of Issue NACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Additional Requests
Bedrock agrees and aggressively supports placemaking, pedestrianization, and cycling efforts throughout downtown; we will continue to explore opportunities to do so. We will make sure that there is adequate, high-quality pedestrian space, seating, and other amenities on the sidewalk in front of this building and we would be supportive of streetscape redevelopment and bike lane development efforts led by the City and other stakeholders in this area. Our architecture and design team will pay attention to the quality of light coming from exterior lights on our building and will work with the City and other partners to make sure there are appropriate levels of light outside of this building. We will have bike racks outside of this building, the number of racks will be determined by the final program of the building. There will likely be some indoor storage for bikes too but this will depend on the final program of the building.

I. INTRODUCTION In order to promote the revitalization of environmentally distressed and blighted areas within the boundaries of the City of Detroit, Michigan (the “City”), the City has established the City of Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the “DBRA”) pursuant to Michigan Public Act 381 of 1996, as amended (“Act 381”). The primary purpose of this Brownfield Plan (“Plan”) is to promote the redevelopment of and private investment in certain “brownfield” properties within the City. Inclusion of property within this Plan will facilitate financing of environmental response and other eligible activities at an eligible property, and will also provide tax incentives to eligible taxpayers willing to invest in revitalization of eligible sites, commonly referred to as “brownfields.” By facilitating redevelopment of brownfield properties, this Plan is intended to promote economic growth for the benefit of the residents of the City and all taxing units located within and benefited by the DBRA. This Plan is intended to apply to the eligible property identified in this Plan and, to identify and authorize the eligible activities to be funded by tax increment revenues. This Plan is intended to be a living document, which may be modified or amended in accordance with the requirements of Act 381, as necessary to achieve the purposes of Act 381. The applicable sections of Act 381 are noted throughout the Plan for reference purposes. This Plan describes the project to be completed (see Attachment C) and contains information required by Section 13(1) of Act 381.

Legal Description
See Attachment B
Pyramid Development CO., LLC is the project developer (“Developer”) and owner of the Property. The Former Free Press Building redevelopment is planned as a historic rehabilitation to create a mixed-use development that will include first floor retail, second and third floor offices, with residential apartments on the remaining floors above (“Project”). A Brownfield Plan, an Act 381 Work Plan, and a Large Brownfield MBT Credit, titled “Detroit Free Press House” and “Free Press Plaza and Apartments” were approved for the Eligible Property in 2010. The Brownfield Plan, Act 381 Work Plan, and the Brownfield MBT Credit need to be modified to update the following information: legal descriptions, scope of Project, Eligible Activities, Eligible Investment and Qualified Taxpayer that were included in the original approvals. The Developer is requesting the concurrent termination of the “Detroit Free Press House” Brownfield Plan, approved in 2010, and the approval of the Former Free Press Building Brownfield Plan in 2017. The Developer will then terminate and request approval of a new 2
Exhibit A Former Free Press Building - 321 W. Lafayette Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
Act 381 Work Plan to address the changes in the Brownfield Plan, and amend the Large Brownfield MBT Credit. In addition, it is understood that the Eligible Property is located within the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and therefore the Developer will only be able to capture available school taxes during the life of the Brownfield Plan. The DDA will capture all local property taxes, except for Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA), which will be captured by the Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (DBRA) to cover their administrative fees. The project description provided herein is a summary of the proposed development at the time of the adoption of the Plan. The actual development may vary from the project description provided herein, without necessitating an amendment to this Plan, so long as such variations arise as a result of changes in market and/or financing conditions affecting the project and/or are related to the addition of amenities to the project. All such changes to the project description that affect the scope or amount of eligible activities are subject to the approval of the DBRA staff and shall be consistent with the overall nature of the proposed development, its proposed public purpose, and the purposes of Act 381. Attachment C provides a description of the project to be completed at the Property (the “Project”) and Attachment D includes letters of support for the Project. B. Basis of Eligibility (Section 13 (1)(h) and Section 2 (o)) The Property is considered “eligible property” as defined by Act 381, Section 2 because (a) the Property was previously utilized or is currently utilized for a commercial purpose; (b) it is located within the City of Detroit, a qualified local governmental unit under Act 381; and (c) the Property is determined to be a functionally obsolete. The Property is considered “eligible property” as defined by Act 381, Section 2 because the 321 W. Lafayette Blvd parcel is functionally obsolete. The building’s deterioration has left it dangerous and unable to be used to adequately perform the function for which it was intended due to a substantial loss in value. Further description of its eligibility is outlined below. x The current configurations do not meet market demand for the original commercial purpose of the building, nor do they meet market demand for its future mixed retail, commercial, and residential uses. x Mechanical and electrical systems must be replaced. x The elevators must be replaced. x Interior finishes have been stripped. x Life safety systems (smoke detectors, fire alarm systems, exit signs and fire sprinklers) must be replaced. x A new security system must be installed. x The windows must be replaced. x The entire roof must be replaced. 3
Exhibit A Former Free Press Building - 321 W. Lafayette Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
C. Summary of Eligible Activities and Description of Costs (Section 13 (1)(a),(b)) The “eligible activities” that are intended to be carried out at the Property are considered “eligible activities” as defined by Section 2 of Act 381, because they include lead and asbestos abatement, hazardous materials removal, interior and exterior demolition, and development and preparation of brownfield plan and a MSF Act 381 Work Plan. A summary of the eligible activities and the estimated cost of each eligible activity intended to be paid for with Tax Increment Revenues from the Property are shown in the table attached hereto as Attachment E. The eligible activities described in Attachment E are not exhaustive. Subject to the approval of DBRA staff in writing, additional eligible activities may be carried out at the Property, without requiring an amendment to this Plan, so long as such eligible activities are permitted by Act 381 and the performance of such eligible activities does not exceed the total costs stated in Attachment E. It is currently anticipated that construction will begin in the summer of 2017 and eligible activities will be completed within 24 months from the approval of the Brownfield Plan. It is anticipated that the construction will be completed in December 2020. Based on the existing Brownfield Michigan Business Tax Credit, the project must be completed and receive a temporary certificate of occupancy by December 14th, 2020 to receive the Credit. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the DBRA, all eligible activities will be completed within three (3) years after execution of the Reimbursement Agreement (as that term is defined below), however, any long-term monitoring or operation and maintenance activities or obligations that may be required will be performed in compliance with the terms of this Plan and any documents prepared pursuant to this Plan. The Developer desires to be reimbursed for the costs of eligible activities. Tax increment revenue generated by the Property will be captured by the DBRA and used to reimburse the cost of the eligible activities completed on the Property after approval of this Plan pursuant to the terms of a Reimbursement Agreement with the DBRA (the “Reimbursement Agreement”). The costs listed in Attachment E are estimated costs and may increase or decrease depending on the nature and extent of environmental contamination and other unknown conditions encountered on the Property. The actual cost of those eligible activities encompassed by this Plan that will qualify for reimbursement from tax increment revenues of the DBRA from the Property shall be governed by the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement. No costs of eligible activities will be qualified for reimbursement except to the extent permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Agreement and Section 2 of Act 381. The Reimbursement Agreement and this Plan will dictate the total cost of eligible activities subject to payment, provided that the total cost of eligible activities subject to payment or reimbursement under the Reimbursement Agreement shall not exceed the estimated costs set forth in Attachment E. As long as the total costs are not exceeded, line item costs of eligible activities may be adjusted after the 4
Exhibit A Former Free Press Building - 321 W. Lafayette Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
date this Plan is approved by the governing body, to the extent the adjustments do not violate the terms of the approved MSF work plan. D. Estimate of Captured Taxable Value and Tax Increment Revenues (Section 13(1)(c)); Beginning Date of Capture of Tax Increment Revenues (Section (13)(1)(f); Impact of Tax Increment Financing on Taxing Jurisdictions (Section 13(1)(g)) This Plan anticipates the capture of tax increment revenues to reimburse the Developer for the costs of eligible activities under this Plan in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement. A table of estimated tax increment revenues to be captured is attached to this Plan as Attachment F. Please note that all estimates are just that, and are subject to change depending on actual assessed value and changes in the millage rates. Tax increments are projected to be captured and applied to (i) reimbursement of eligible activity costs and payment of DBRA administrative and operating expenses, (ii) make deposits into the State Brownfield Revolving Fund (SBRF), and (iii) make deposits into the DBRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (LSRRF)as follows:

Total: $7,967,953 In no event shall the duration of the Plan exceed thirty-five (35) years following the date of the governing bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution approving the Plan, nor shall the duration of the tax 5
Exhibit A Former Free Press Building - 321 W. Lafayette Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
capture exceed the lesser of the period authorized under subsection (4) and (5) of Section 13 of Act 381 or 30 years. Further, in no event shall the beginning date of the capture of tax increment revenues be later than five (5) years after the date of the governing bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution approving the Plan. E. Plan of Financing (Section 13(1)(d)); Maximum Amount of Indebtedness (Section 13(1)(e)) The eligible activities are to be financed solely by the Developer. The DBRA will reimburse the Developer for the cost of approved eligible activities, but only from tax increment revenues generated from the Property. No advances have been or shall be made by the City or the DBRA for the costs of eligible activities under this Plan. All reimbursements authorized under this Plan shall be governed by the Reimbursement Agreement. The inclusion of eligible activities and estimates of costs to be reimbursed in this Plan are intended to authorize the DBRA to fund such reimbursements and does not obligate the DBRA or the City to fund any reimbursement or to enter into the Reimbursement Agreement providing for the reimbursement of any costs for which tax increment revenues may be captured under this Plan, or which are permitted to be reimbursed under this Plan. The amount and source of any tax increment revenues that will be used for purposes authorized by this Plan, and the terms and conditions for such use and upon any reimbursement of the expenses permitted by the Plan, will be provided solely under the Reimbursement Agreement contemplated by this Plan. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Developer, the DBRA, and the State of Michigan, the DBRA shall not incur any note or bonded indebtedness to finance the purposes of this Plan. Reimbursements under the Reimbursement Agreement shall not exceed the cost of Eligible Activities permitted under this Plan. F. Duration of Plan (Section 13(1)(f)) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the DBRA, all eligible activities shall be completed within three (3) years after approval of the Michigan Strategic Fund work plan, if applicable, or three (3) years after execution of the Reimbursement Agreement (as that term is defined below), however, any long-term monitoring or operation and maintenance activities or obligations that may be required will be performed in compliance with the terms of this Plan and any documents prepared pursuant to this Plan. Subject to Section 13(22) of Act 381, the beginning date and duration of capture of tax increment revenues for each eligible property shall occur in accordance with the TIF table described in Exhibit F. This Plan, or any subsequent amendment thereto, may be abolished or terminated in accordance with Section 16(8) of Act 381 in the event of any of the following: 6
Exhibit A Former Free Press Building - 321 W. Lafayette Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
a. The governing body may abolish this Plan (or any subsequent amendment thereto) when it finds that the purposes for which this Plan was established have been accomplished. b. The governing body may terminate this Plan (or any subsequent amendment thereto) if the project for which eligible activities were identified in this Plan (or any subsequent amendment thereto) fails to occur with respect to the eligible property for at least five (5) years following the date of the governing body resolution approving this Plan (or any subsequent amendment thereto). Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, this Plan (or any subsequent amendment thereto) shall not be abolished or terminated until the principal and interest on bonds, if any, issued under Section 17 of Act 381 and all other obligations to which the tax increment revenues are pledged have been paid or funds sufficient to make the payment have been identified or segregated. G. Effective Date of Inclusion in Brownfield Plan The Property will become a part of this Plan on the date this Plan is approved by the governing body. H. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible Property (Section 13(1)(i-l)) There are no persons or businesses residing on the eligible property and no occupied residences will be acquired or cleared, therefore there will be no displacement or relocation of persons or businesses under this Plan. I. Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (â&#x20AC;&#x153;LSRRFâ&#x20AC;?) (Section 8; Section 13(1)(m)) The DBRA has established a Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (LSRRF). The LSRRF will consist of all tax increment revenues authorized to be captured and deposited in the LSRRF, as specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381, under this Plan and any other plan of the DBRA. It may also include funds appropriated or otherwise made available from public or private sources. The amount of tax increment revenue authorized for capture and deposit in the LSRRF is estimated at $0. J. Brownfield Redevelopment Fund (Section 8a; Section 13(n)) The DBRA shall pay to the Department of Treasury at least once annually an amount equal to 3 mills of the taxes levied under the state education tax, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, that are captured under this Plan for up to the first twenty five (25) years of the duration of capture of tax increment revenues for each eligible property included in this Plan. If the DBRA pays an amount equal to 3 mills of the taxes levied under the state education tax, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, on a parcel of eligible property to the Department of Treasury under Section 13(21) of Act 381, the percentage of local taxes levied on that parcel and used to reimburse eligible activities for the Project under this Plan shall not exceed the percentage of local taxes levied on that parcel that would have been used to reimburse eligible activities for the Project under this Plan if the 3 mills of the taxes 7
Exhibit A Former Free Press Building - 321 W. Lafayette Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
levied under the state education tax, 1993 PA 331, MCL 211.901 to 211.906, on that parcel were not paid to the Department of Treasury under Section 13(21) of Act 381. K. Developer’s Obligations, Representations and Warrants The Developer and its affiliates shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, executive orders, and other regulations imposed by the City or any other properly constituted governmental authority with respect to the Property and shall develop the Property in accordance with this Plan. The Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall be solely responsible for and shall fully comply with all applicable federal, state, and local relocation requirements in implementing this Plan.

Project Overview:
Pyramid Development CO., LLC is the project developer and owner of the Property. The Former Free Press Building redevelopment is planned as a historic rehabilitation to create a mixed-use development that will include first floor retail, second and third floor offices, with residential apartments on the remaining floors above. The 14-story Art Deco masterpiece housed the Detroit Free Press newspaper, including all associated operations, when it opened in 1925. The building, which also contained rentable retail and commercial space, was commissioned by Free Press owner E.D. Stair. Historic features include: exterior limestone carvings by New York sculptor Ulysses Ricci, advertising room murals depicting early Detroit history by Roy C. Gamble, to name a few. On July 23, 1998, the Free Press left its home of nearly 75 years - where much of the city’s best journalism had been created. Since the Free Press vacated the building it has fallen into a state of severe disrepair. A Brownfield Plan, an Act 381 Work Plan, and a Large Brownfield MBT Credit, titled “Detroit Free Press House” and “Free Press Plaza and Apartments” were approved on the Eligible Property in 2010. The Brownfield Plan, Act 381 Work Plan, and the Brownfield MBT Credit need to be terminated/amended to modify the following: legal descriptions,
scope of Project, Eligible Activities, and Eligible Investment that was included in the original approvals. The Developer is requesting the concurrent termination of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detroit Free Press Houseâ&#x20AC;? Brownfield Plan, approved in 2010, and the approval of the Former Free Press Building Brownfield Plan in 2017. It is anticipated that 196 temporary construction related jobs will be created and 10 permanent jobs will be created. This total job creation number does not include jobs created from tenants occupying the retail and commercial space this total new job creation number is ~325 permanent FTE. Other additional public financing incentives include seeking approval for a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) Tax Abatement, a MBT Brownfield Credit, and State and Federal Historic Credits. Construction is expected to begin in the 3rd Quarter of 2017.

National Examples of Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) Source: The Partnership For Working Families (proud supporter of the Union United coalition) CBAs Currently in Effect Kingsbridge Armory CBA (New York City): In April 2013, the Kingsbridge Armory Redevelopment Alliance (KARA), a broad-based coalition of community organizations, entered into a comprehensive CBA regarding the redevelopment of the Kingsbridge Armory, in the Northwest Bronx. The project, an ice sports center, will include nine hockey rinks, a 5,000-seat arena and a 50,000-square-foot community space. Shortly after announcement of the CBA, the developer who had entered into the agreement was selected by the City of New York to build the project. Under the CBA, the developer agreed to: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
a “wall to wall” living wage payment requirement, covering all workers within the project; a requirement that at least 25% of construction employees be targeted workers; a requirement that at least 51% of non-construction workers within the project be local workers, with first priority placement of underemployed residents of the immediate neighborhood; an $8,000,000 initial contribution, plus substantial ongoing contributions, to a coalition-controlled fund that may be used for specified community needs; a grant program for local businesses that employ large numbers of local workers; local contracting, M/WBE utilization, and local procurement requirements; extensive green building measures and community consultation on environmental issues; priority community access to the project’s athletic facilities; and formal structures for community-based oversight and enforcement of CBA commitments.
As the first strong, community-driven CBA in New York City, the Kingsbridge Armory CBA is a major step forward for the community benefits movement. Bayview-Hunters Point CBA (San Francisco, CA): In late May 2008, the San Francisco Labor Council, ACORN, and the San Francisco Organizing Project (SFOP) entered into a community benefits agreement regarding a major development project in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco. Under the CBA, Lennar, a national housing developer, agreed that if the project moves forward, Lennar will: ● ensure that 32% of housing units built within the project are affordable, at a range of income levels; ● provide over $27 million in housing assistance funds targeted to neighborhood residents, including down payment assistance enabling additional units to be sold below market rates; ● provide over $8.5 million in job training funds targeted to neighborhood residents; ● ensure that all project employers participate in a state-of-the-art local hiring program; and ● ensure labor peace (i.e., card check / neutrality) in key industries within the project: grocery stores, hotels, and certain service contracts. Since all of these benefits are contained in the CBA, they are legally binding and enforceable by the Labor Council, ACORN, and SFOP. Hill District CBA (Pittsburgh, PA): In August 2008, Pittsburgh United joined with unions and several community groups in the Hill District neighborhood as the One Hill Coalition and recently entered into a CBA with the Sports and Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, the County of

Allegheny, the City of Pittsburgh, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh, and the developers and operators of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ sports arena, an anticipated arena hotel and adjacent redevelopment projects.The CBA provides for the following community benefits: ●
●

the establishment of a steering committee with representatives appointed by City officials and the Coalition to oversee the creation of a Master Plan for the Hill District with extensive community participation. In addition, the developers agreed to quarterly meetings with community members on the development and construction of the new arena. $1,000,000 from both the City and the developers toward the local governments’ goal of securing a grocery store within the Hill District by the end of 2009.The local governments agreed to ensure that: (a) the grocery store operator uses the CareerLink/ the Hill District Resource Center to secure referrals of applicants that are Hill District residents for jobs created at the grocery store (b) the grocery store operator provides a range of healthful and affordable food and a full service pharmacy for Hill District residents; and (c) the grocery store is a full service grocery store that contains a minimum size of 25,000 square feet. creation and funding by the coalition and the local governments of a model first source referral center to provide or coordinate job preparation, counseling, training and supportive services, and to serve as a first source referral of qualified Hill District residents to employers connected with the project. The city and Allegheny County agreed to provide $150,000 a year for at least two years to start the program. targeted outreach to, and pre-bid meetings with and workshops for, local, minority and disadvantaged businesses related to business opportunities associated with the new arena. a formal review by the local government entities, under the oversight of the steering committee, of the services being provided to residents of the Hill District. the creation by the coalition and the developers of a Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP), to be funded by the Pennsylvania Neighborhood Assistance Act, to address critical needs in the Hill District. assistance by the local governments and the coalition to the Pittsburgh YMCA in developing a multi-purpose center for youth, family and seniors in the Hill District community.
Gates Cherokee CBA (Denver, CO): In February of 2006, FRESC and the coalition members of the Campaign for Responsible Development secured a set of Community Benefit Achievements at the site of the former Gates Rubber Factory.These achievements were the result of more than three years of research, advocacy, organizing, leadership from the city and elected officials, and a process of dialogue with the private developer. The redevelopment project, undertaken by developer Cherokee Investment Partners, is a 50+ acre, $1 billion brownfield located on a light rail transit line and at the intersection of I-25 and Broadway in central Denver.(A brownfield is an abandoned, idled, or underused industrial or commercial facility where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination.) Cherokee sought $126 million in public subsidies and taxing authority to support the clean-up and redevelopment of the site into a mixed-use, transit-oriented development that will include retail, offices, housing and open space. The CRD took the position that any project receiving that magnitude of public support should meet principles of responsible development and provide community benefits.

Benefits include: ●
● ● ● ● ● ●

landmark Affordable Housing Plan that not only exceeds the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) in for-sale affordable units but also includes hundreds of affordable rental units targeting the income levels of Denver’s greatest need. construction of 150 affordable, for-sale units out of 1,500 total for-sale units (10%). construction of 200 low-income rental units out of 1,000 (20%). a commitment to conform with state, federal, and local handicapped accessibility standards, ensuring that all housing units are accessible or accessible-convertible. a unique agreement that excludes low-road big-box grocery stores like Super Wal-Mart who undercut existing good jobs in the grocery industry through poverty wages/inadequate health care. cooperation and participation with the neighborhood coalition Voluntary Cleanup Advisory Board (VCAB) that is monitoring the cleanup and communicating cleanup issues to affected neighbors. an unprecedented agreement to pay prevailing wages and benefits for every construction worker engaged in the publicly-funded construction of site infrastructure and maintenance of public spaces and facilities. an unprecedented agreement to extend Denver’s Living Wage Ordinance to include parking lot attendants and security personnel employed at the site’s public facilities. an enhanced “First Source” local hiring system that promotes recruitment of local residents to fill new positions and, for the first time, prioritizes immediately adjacent low-income neighborhoods.
Denver’s Office of Economic Development is now employing, for the first time, an explicit “public benefits framework” to outline the public financing package for this project. LAX CBA (Los Angeles, CA): In December of 2004, a broad coalition of community-based organizations and labor unions in Los Angeles entered into the largest CBA to date, addressing the Los Angeles International Airport’s $11 billion modernization plan. The CBA is a legally binding contract between the LAX Coalition for Economic, Environmental, and Educational Justice and the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), the governmental entity that operates LAX. The benefits obtained through this CBA campaign have been valued at half a billion dollars. The bulk of these benefits are set forth in the LAX CBA; the airport’s commitments to two area school districts are set forth in side agreements that were negotiated as part of the Coalition’s CBA campaign. The CBA has been hailed by both local policy-makers and the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration as a model for future airport development nationally. The wide range of benefits include: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
$15 million in job training funds for airport and aviation-related jobs; a local hiring program giving priority for LAX jobs to local residents and low-income and special needs individuals; funds for soundproofing affected schools and residences; retrofitting diesel construction vehicles and diesel vehicles operating on the tarmac, curbing dangerous air pollutants by up to 90%; electrifying airplane gates to eliminate pollution from jet engine idling; funds for studying the health impacts of airport operations on surrounding communities; and increased chances for local, minority, and women-owned businesses in the modernization of LAX.
The CBA has detailed monitoring and enforcement provisions, enabling Coalition members to ensure implementation of these benefits and to hold accountable the responsible parties. For information: Somerville Community Corporation, 617.776.5931, info@somervillecdc.org, www.somervillecdc.org

Among other things, the developer agreed to: ● ● ● ● ● ●
Strive to ensure that at least 70% of the on-site jobs pay a living wage Institute a first source hiring policy targeting local, low-income residents Provide $75,000 to job training programs Provide $15,000 to fund a health care access outreach program Include a union hotel Make 20% of the total rental apartment units affordable, with one-third affordable to households making 50% of the area median income (AMI), one-third affordable at 80% AMI, and one-third affordable at 120% AMI

Marlton Square CBA (Los Angeles, CA): In 2002, a coalition of community-based organizations entered into a CBA with the developer of the $123 million retail and housing Marlton Square redevelopment project in Los Angeles. The CBA included developer commitments to: ●
● ● ●
dedicate space within the development for a community services facility, such as a community center, youth center, or job training center, according to needs determined through a community process; require employers in the development to hire through a first source hiring policy; and take specified steps to achieve a 70% living wage goal. The CBA was incorporated into the master agreement the developer signed with the city.
Staples Center CBA (Los Angeles, CA): In May of 2001, a broad coalition of labor and community-based organizations – the Figueroa Corridor Coalition for Economic Justice – negotiated a comprehensive CBA for the Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment District development, a large multipurpose project that will include a hotel, a 7,000-seat theater, a convention center expansion, a housing complex, and plazas for entertainment, restaurant, and retail businesses.

5
million. The CBA is usually referred to as the “Staples CBA” because the project is located adjacent to the Staples Center sports arena, which was developed by the same company. The Staples CBA was a tremendous achievement in several respects. It includes an unprecedented array of community benefits, including: ● ● ● ● ● ●
a developer-funded assessment of community park & recreation needs, and a $1 million commitment toward meeting those needs; a goal that 70% of the jobs created in the project will pay the City’s living wage, and consultation with the coalition on selection of tenants; a first source hiring program targeting job opportunities to low-income individuals and those displaced by the project; increased affordable housing requirements in the housing component of the project, and a commitment of seed money for other affordable housing projects; developer funding for a residential parking program for surrounding neighborhoods; and standards for responsible contracting and leasing decisions by the developer.
These many benefits reflect the very broad coalition that worked together to negotiate the CBA. The coalition, led in negotiations by Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, LAANE, and Coalition L.A., included over 30 different community groups and labor unions, plus hundreds of affected individuals. These successful negotiations demonstrate the power community groups possess when they work cooperatively and support each other’s agendas. Multi-Parcel Standards in Effect Atlanta Beltline (Atlanta, GA): In 2005, Georgia Stand-UP succeeded in attaching community benefits language to a City ordinance authorizing almost $2 billion in public funding over a 20-year period for transit-oriented development. The Atlanta BeltLine project involves the development of a 22-mile light rail transit loop encircling the city. The $2.8 billion project is expected to take 25 years and will include transitoriented design, including multi-use trails, as well as 1200 acres of green space, affordable housing, brownfield remediation, historic preservation, and public art. The 2005 city resolution that created the BeltLine Tax Allocation District (TAD) included several community benefits principles that will apply not to an individual project, but to every project within the Beltline redevelopment area. These include: ● ●
●
Section 11- establishes the BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund, created by setting aside 15% of the net proceeds of every TAD bond issued to develop 5,600 units of affordable housing Section 12- establishes an Economic Incentives Fund by setting aside a portion of each TAD bond issuance that will incentivize private development in targeted areas of the BeltLine that have historically experienced disinvestment, poverty and unemployment. Section 19- requires that all capital projects that receive TAD bond funding will have attached “certain community benefits principles, including but not limited to: prevailing wages for workers; a ‘first source’ hiring system to target job opportunities for residents of impacted low-income BeltLine neighborhoods; establishment and usage of apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs for workers of impacted BeltLine neighborhoods.” Additionally, “a more complete list of such principles and a community benefit policy shall be developed with community input and included within the agreements to be approved by City Council.”
The Atlanta BeltLine project is an excellent example of how to apply CBA principles to large parcels of development, without losing the fundamental step of community involvement. For information: Somerville Community Corporation, 617.776.5931, info@somervillecdc.org, www.somervillecdc.org

ORDINANCE NO. 35-16 CHAPTER 14 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ARTICLE XII. COMMUNITY BENFEFITS COMMENTS AND ANNOTATIONS 1. Definitions: walk participants through starred terms (*) on Development Terms sheet 2. Current Tier 1 developments can be found here: (http://www.detroitmi.gov/Government/Departments-and-Agencies/Planning-andDevelopment-Department/Community-Benefits-Ordinance). Dan Gilbert’s Bedrock company is doing the Book Building and Tower, the Monroe Blocks, the Detroit Free Press renovation, and building on the Hudson’s Site. After 12 weeks of community benefits talks with residents across the four projects, there are only two community benefits in its various agreements with the city: (1) Bedrock would communicate with residents about construction-related activity; (2) Bedrock would support job training initiatives, something the company has been doing for years. Bedrock officials say while they didn’t make major changes to the agreement, the company did do other things, like add greenspace to its plans. 3. The public engagement process starts with a public meeting. This section lays out the public meeting timing and notice requirements. Important: a. WHO gets notification – residents living within 300 radial feet (about 3 blocks) of the project. b. WHAT is in the notice – date/time/location of public meeting and “general information” about the project, including ways the project is expected to effect the community and ways to address or mitigate/minimize the negative impacts. c. WHEN notice is given – “no less than 10 days before” the public meeting. Of note, the developer can’t request tax abatements or property transfers from Council until after the public meeting. The developer has incentive to see the tax abatements and/or property transfers as quickly as possible. 4. The community engagement process is monitored by someone for the city. Their job is to monitor, not help. 5. The rules creating the NAC are very general, but there are a handful of requirements a. Qualifications: (i) at least 18; (ii) lives in the Impact Area; and (iii) (nominated by resident of Impact Area). b. Selection of 9 members: From the nominated residents (i) 2 members will be selected by the community; (ii) 4 members selected by Planning Director; (iii) 1 member selected by the Council Member whose district contains the largest portion of the impact area; and (iv) 1 by each of the At-Large Council Members (currently Brenda Jones and Janae Ayers). c. If there aren’t enough people nominated to fill all the slots, the Planning Director can “seek out” additional nominees.
6. There is only one rule about how the NAC functions: All actions taken by the NAC must be done with the consent of a majority of members. a. No rules about structure or subcommittees b. No rules about removing a member c. No rules about adding a member d. No requirement that members attend meeting 7. NAC members are guaranteed 1 meeting with the Developer at this point. This meeting is for the purpose of learning more about the project and giving the NAC an opportunity to tell the Developer about community concerns. a. The CBO doesn’t say how the NAC is to learn about community concerns b. The CBO doesn’t give the NAC a right to meet again if the Developer alters plans (and that happens frequently) c. The NAC can get additional meetings at this point only if the Planning Director or Council (by 2/3rds vote) direct the Developer to meet with the NAC. 8. The Community Benefits Report is a document put together by the Planning Director containing the following information: a. How notice to organize the public meeting was provided; b. List of NAC members and how they were selected; c. Itemized list of NAC concerns; and d. How the Developer will address or those concerns or why those concerns won’t be addressed. 9. The Planning Director sends the Community Benefits Report to Council; the NAC may or may not get to see it before it’s submitted to Council. 10. The Community Benefits Report, which is the core of the community engagement process, is supposed to be sent to Council within 6 weeks of the date the notice of the first public meeting was set out. 11. Typically, developments are slowed down by while a developer seeks various approvals (zoning variances, permits) from Council. Under the CBO, not only are such requests expediated, the Planning Director is supposed to have them all approved at once. 12. The community engagement process is designed to result in a Developer Agreement between the Developer and the City. Any community benefits will be in a Community Benefits Provision that is part of the Developer Agreement. The Developer Agreement must contain the following: a. Enforcement mechanism and penalties the Developer could face for breaking the agreement including the return of City-provided benefits, revocation of land transfers, and fines. b. Procedures for community members to report violations to NAC. c. Number of years the developer will have to file an annual compliance report. d. Additional community meeting/engagement requirements 13. The Developer is only required contract with the City (the Developer Agreement) and only the City can enforce it. The Developer can contract with the community or a
representative of the community – such as a nonprofit or neighborhood organization – but only if such an agreement doesn’t pose a conflict of interests with the City. 14. The CBO creates an Enforcement Committee to make sure the Developer keeps promises. The Enforcement Committee is composed entirely of representatives of the City, including representatives from the Planning and Development Department, Law Department, Human Rights Department, and anyone else the Planning Director feels should be involved. 15. Twice a year, the Enforcement Committee will give Council and the NAC a Compliance Report. The CBO doesn’t specify what has to be in this report. 16. At least once per calendar year, the NAC is entitled to meet with the Developer to discuss the status of the project. This meeting is in addition to the 1 meeting required under Sec. 14-12-3(c)(1). (No. 7 on your annotated copy of the CBO.) 17. The NAC is required review complaints from the community that the Developer has violated the Community Benefits Provision. The NAC isn’t required to report the violations to the Enforcement Committee, but if it does so, it has to do so in writing if it wants the Enforcement Committee to act on them. 18. The Enforcement Committee has to investigate any violations referred to it in writing and is required to report back to the NAC in writing (“Findings”) telling: (a) whether the Committee’s investigation found the Developer actually violated the Community Development Provision; and (b) if so, how to enforce it or mitigate the violations. 19. From the day the Enforcement Committee gets written notice of a violation, it has 21 days to give the Findings to Council and the NAC. If it needs more time, the Enforcement Committee is supposed to let the NAC and Council know before the 21 days is up. If the NAC disagrees with the Findings or thinks the Enforcement Committee isn’t really trying to enforce the Community Benefits Provision, the NAC has to say so in a written notice to the Enforcement Comment. After getting that notice, the Enforcement Committee has 14 days to respond. If the NAC isn’t satisfied with the Enforcement Committee’s response, its only option is to petition the City Clerk to schedule a hearing on the issue in front of Council, where both the NAC and the Enforcement Committee will present their sides. 20. Council does not have to give the NAC a hearing. Council may, if it chooses, decide, based only on the written information submitted in the request for the hearing, that the Enforcement Committee has made reasonable efforts to ensure the Developer complies with the Community Benefits Provision. That is the only decision Council can make without a hearing. a. If Council determines the Enforcement Committee made reasonable efforts to ensure compliance, they have to notify the NAC. b. If Council determines the Enforcement Committee made did NOT make reasonable efforts to ensure compliance, Council is required to give the Enforcement Committee specific steps to do so. The Enforcement Committee must then give Council and the NAC monthly updates on compliance actions until Council adopts a resolution declaring the Developer is in compliance or has taken action to mitigate violations. Council can hold additional hearings if necessary.

A. INTRODUCTION Palace Sports and Entertainment (PSE), developers on behalf of the Detroit Pistons, as part of their return to the City and establishment of their home court at the Little Caesars Arena, have also agreed to move the franchise’s headquarters and practice facility from Auburn Hills, Michigan to the New Center area of Detroit. The project will be connected to another new facility by Henry Ford Health System that will specialize in sports medicine and compliment, programmatically, the headquarters and practice facility to take advantage of nearby medical facilities in training and rehabilitation by the Pistons players; while being in a distinct building. The practice and headquarters facility will be located on a site at 690 Amsterdam Street between Second and Third Avenues.1 The project will be a mixed-use facility that is expected to cost approximately $60 million with an 18-month timetable for construction. Per the Memorandum of Understanding between the Pistons and the City, the Pistons committed to “follow the community engagement requirements associated with the City of Detroit’s community benefits ordinance, even if the construction of the Headquarters does not qualify as a ‘Tier 1 Project’ under the ordinance.” PSE, on behalf of the Pistons, has agreed to voluntarily engage with the community by following the community engagement portions of the Tier 1 section of the Community Benefits Ordinance (CBO) process to determine the outstanding issues related to the project; and the best means of mitigating the concerns pertaining directly to the project. Because the voluntary agreement of the developer is limited to following the community engagement process (as described below), the City will include appropriate enforcement remedies in the agreement to be signed by the City and the developer.

Additionally, attendees were notified of subsequent NAC meetings on April 12th, April 17th, and April 24th (later moved to April 27th to accommodate Council member Sheffield). Public Notice of the meeting (as required by law) was mailed out to neighbors by the City Clerk’s office on March 10, 2017, via a flyer developed in the Planning & Development Department. There was also assistance in community outreach from the office of District 5 Council Member Mary Sheffield, Council President Brenda jones, and At-Large Council Member Janee Ayres. Sign-in information from the March 20th and April 12th meetings was distributed to the full NAC on April 13, 2017. There was a delay in obtaining the information from the March 20th meeting from the Department of Neighborhoods (DON); hence the late distribution of sign-in information from that date. The Planning and Development Department launched a CBO website, with the Pistons Practice Facility and Headquarters as the first posting. Notice was sent to the NAC and representatives of the City Council, LPD, and the DON. 6 The link is as follows: http://www.detroitmi.gov/Government/Departments-and-Agencies/Planning-and-DevelopmentDepartment/Community-Benefits-Ordinance

Issues Raised by the Community Present The community raised a number of issues – some directly related to the impact of the facility; and some that were not directly related but based on precedent development. Below are the principle issues raised in the forum: 1) Concern expressed about access the community will have to the facility once it is open; vis-à-vis open basketball courts and access to players 2) Concern expressed by the community about the amount of parking lots in the proposed development (reference to the current ODM development) 3) Question concerning Fitness Works and if it will be included in the current program. 4) Concern expressed about mental health, assuming the facility becomes a draw to the general populace. 5) Concern expressed about the amount of tax abatements being offered in the deal to bring the practice facility and the headquarters to Detroit.

April 12, 2017 The second meeting of the CBO process was held at Henry Ford Health System, One Ford Place, Detroit MI 48202 - Suite 1B. The purpose of this meeting was: 1) An introduction to, and seating of the full NAC (Dr. Ken Harris participated via phone as he was traveling); 2) To present the project to board members and the general public from the impact area who may not have been at the meeting (3) For the developer to gather feedback from the NAC and the community on project impacts. An agenda was prepared and distributed to NAC members, the public, and the respective offices of City Council members. Officially, thirty-four people signed the sign-insheet; however the attendance was greater. 1) R. Steven Lewis opened the meeting to announce the order of presentation, and acknowledge the representative City Council members. 2) PDD presented the newly seated NAC and information packet including the agenda, meeting notice, slide show presentation, and a copy of the Community Benefits Ordinance. 3) Awenate Cobbina presented the Pistons Practice and Headquarters facility, along with an overview of the community engagement the Pistons have participated in during the last two years. 4) John Sivills presented the Planning Department’s overview of the CBO and the roles and responsibility of NAC members; as well as future meetings to come. The meeting listed for April 17th was considered optional should the NAC require another meeting.8 5) This was the first meeting in attendance by the LDP representative, Kimani Jeffrey, as the representative was chosen after the first meeting. Issues Raised by the Community Present The NAC, community, and the City Council members present raised a number of issues – some directly related to the impact of the facility; and some that were not directly related, but based on precedent development. Below are the principle issues raised in forum: 1) Accessibility - Practice Facility being available for rent, and to youth groups and organizations. • Developer Response – It will be evaluated. There was no commitment on behalf of the Pistons due to coordinating with basketball seasons far out as well as not having a definitive program. 2) Community Return on Investment - The amount budgeted for community engagement versus the amount in tax abatements is minuscule. 3) Employment and Contracting - The ability to match or better the required 51% Detroit resident workforce commitment based on the precedent at Little Caesars Area. Strong preference for union labor. Connecting labor training and apprenticeship organizations to opportunities generated by the project. 8

Developer Response – Pistons will work with City Council members to achieve the hiring and contracting goals. The Pistons are also open to suggestions and ideas to avoid fines as have been occurring with the construction of the Little Caesars Arena. 4) Fitness Works - Community/CM Sheffield desire to have Fitness Works to remain a part of the program. 5) Community Advocacy - Council Member Sheffield statement that the NAC needs to be true advocates for the community regarding this project; and that she will send a list of items to the NAC for consideration. 6) Internships - Desire expressed for year-around internships with the Pistons • Developer Response – Currently the organization does seasonal internships; but can explore year-around. 7) Tax Abatement Process - Concern expressed about the amount of tax abatements being offered in the deal to bring the practice facility and the headquarters to Detroit. • Developer Response – The tax abatement is subject to City Council approval.

We expect street parking to be equal to the number of current spaces. 9) CBO Process - Concern expressed about the process and if it is being rushed. (Linda Campbell). • Department of Neighborhoods’ Response – The ordinance contemplated the report being issued within 6 weeks, if possible. 10) Potential Tax Increases - There were concerns expressed about the contribution the Pistons were making to improve the basketball courts ($2.5 million/ six-years) and whether or not if the city is getting its full investment considering the abatements asked for, regarding this facility. This may garner tax hikes. • Department of Neighborhood’s Response - Tax rates in Michigan are not affected by the abatement or the donation. The NAC chose to exercise the optional April 17th meeting to take place in two components: 1. 2. 3. 4.
An executive session of the full NAC lasting for an hour, immediately followed by; A public session allowing for public commentary. PDD informed the NAC of its intent to attend and observe the meeting. The developer was asked not to attend either session.

April 17, 2017 The third meeting of the CBO process was held at Henry Ford Health System, One Ford Place, Detroit MI 48202, room 1C100, from 5-7pm. The purpose of this meeting was: 1) To convene an executive session of the NAC for one (1) hour to discuss community issues to be considered for mitigation; 2) To present a list to an open meeting for consideration; before sending the list on for consideration by PDD and the developer. An agenda was not prepared for this meeting. Officially, two people from the public were in attendance in the audience; excluding Council Member Sheffield and her staff. PDD attended the meeting to observe since the process is new to the department and the community at large. The NAC discussed concerns that needed to be considered for mitigation; and further categorized the concerns within the impact area and concerns that could be considered by the developer that were not a direct impact of the project. PDD answered some technical questions as it pertained to the CBO from the NAC and offered some technical advice, as warranted. PDD informed the NAC of the update in the schedule, which included the following: Submission of the NAC Proposed Community Benefits List to the developer by close of business on April 19, 2017; and a change in the next public meeting from April 24 to the 26th (later updated to April 27th to accommodate Council Member Mary Sheffieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April 26th event). The resulting NAC Proposed Community Benefits list will stand as record of the work for this date; in addition to the above accounting of the meeting. 9

April 27, 2017 The fourth meeting of the CBO process was held at Henry Ford Health System, One Ford Place, Detroit MI 48202, Gilmore Center, from 5:30-7pm. The purpose of this meeting was: 1) To publicly present the NAC’s Proposed Community Benefits; and 2) To present the developer’s response. 10 There was a posting of the event on the PDD’s CBO website to note time, place, and day of this event to the public. The NAC and City Council were charged to inform their respective constituencies. An agenda was prepared for this meeting. Officially, 15 people signed the sign-in sheet, although in observance there were more people present, including City staff, City Council staff, and Council Member Sheffield. The following NAC members were present for all or part of the presentation: Dr. Ken Harris, Kathryn Robertson, Diane McMillian, Lynore Foster, Randal Brown, Monique Dooley, and Sarah James. There was a departure from the prepared agenda to discuss the NAC’s role going forward in the CBO process. Because the project does not qualify as a Tier 1 project under the CBO and the developer is instead voluntarily participating in the CBO’s community engagement process, enforcement will occur through the City departments and agencies responsible for the respective issues and mitigation items. The future role of the NAC for this project will continue with direct engagement with PSE, specifically to help determine the public interaction with the new facility and to help HFHS in discussions over Fitness Works. NAC members will also have the opportunity to participate in the public approvals process through City Council to lend support or express concern on the direction of this project and the content of the developments agreement. Issues Raised by the Community Present The NAC, community, and the Council Member present raised a number of issues – some directly related to the developer’s response to the NAC’s Proposed Community Benefits List and the timeline and transition of the NAC’s work going forward. 1) Employment and Diversity – Is the one-time contribution to the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation (DESC) specific to this project. Is there a supplier diversity program? What are the Pistons goals versus contractual obligations regarding the employment? • Developer Response – The contribution is not specific to the Practice Facility project and the DESC can distribute the money as they wish. There is not a supplier diversity program. The Pistons committed to comply with 51% Detroit employment and will use best efforts to use 30% Detroit contractors.

Questioner’s Statement – Organization can help assist the Pistons with a diversity program; and the developers need to be concerned with the long-term effect on the community and economy. Detroit Public Community Schools District Partnership – Specifically address the items #2 and #5 from the proposed mitigation list.12 • Developer Response – Item #2 is not feasible; #5 – City departments and agencies for the enforcement of all of the mitigation items. NAC Engagement – Recommendation that the NAC stay engaged with the report going forward • PDD Response - The report is issued to the NAC; but not voted on by the NAC. It is also not voted on by City Council. It is presented to them for consideration in finalizing a development agreement and in conjunction with other items related to the Pistons move. Memorandum of Understanding – There was concern expressed by an NAC member that having the MOU readily available could have altered what to offer as a community benefit, given the perception that has been presented by the developer that some of the items were covered in the MOU. • Response – The developer presented a summary of the community benefits items in the MOU at the April 27th meeting and three other NAC members stated that they had access to the MOU online, since it is a matter of public record. 13 Grouping of Projects – There was concern with how the projects (HFHS and Pistons) were classified as separate, when marketed as a joint project. • Developer Response - The projects have complimentary programs; however, physically the buildings can be developed at different times. • HFHS Response - Should the developers decide not to relocate to Detroit, the HFHS facility will continue Fitness Works – Still concern regarding the future of Fitness Works. • HFHS Response - HFHS is in talks about the future of Fitness Works in the future facility since HFHS is contractually tied to Fitness Works. • Developer Response - The Detroit Pistons have no control on the outcome of the Fitness Works as it is not a part of their building program. Signage – Concern expressed about the “Ford Field Effect”, regarding signage and light pollution. • The LPD representative noted the new signage ordinance goes before City Council within two (2) months to accommodate changes in technology since the last update. • If the ordinance is not complete, the design will have to work with current law.
To conclude the CBO’s community engagement process, the developer has engaged with PDD to address and mitigate any negative impacts that the project may have on the community and 12

PISTONS’ RESPONSE PS&E and Henry Ford Health System are designing a parking structure that will replace the surface lot that HFHS currently uses and accommodate all anticipated PSE employees and visitors. As such, the neighborhood’s post-construction parking situation will not be negatively impacted by the Practice Facility. No permanent street closures are anticipated and we will work with the city to notify residents of temporary street closures in the area, and to otherwise minimize these impacts.

As the Detroit Public Schools continues with their transition, the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Pistons Foundation will continue to engage with Detroit Public Schools and its students through our grantees and non-profit partners, particularly City Year who the Pistons are helping to expand from 7 to 15 schools over the next two years. The Pistons also host (for the 12th year) an annual scholarship competition for Detroit and Flint public school students featuring $50,000 in college scholarships.

Steven Lewis; acobbina@palacenet.com; rhaddad@palacenet.com; kharr... Attachments: 2017-04-12 - CBO NAC 1.pdf Greetings NAC members! Thank you for your attendance and participation, from near and far (as was the case for Dr. Harris participating via phone while traveling). We appreciate the initiative in setting up the common e-mail address for Pistons NAC members. Just a reminder, if there are any rights and privileges regarding this e-mail address, please extend them to Dr. Harris as well. The NAC has opted to use April 17th for a meeting day with the schedule as follows: 5-6pm NAC members only (planning will attend this meeting as well; 6-7pm meeting is open the community). I need to know which room, if we can use HFHS facilities, this will be in. From the observation of last night, I do believe it is imperative that the distinction with community impact and subsequent mitigation and community requests from the development be noted. This does not exclude community requests from being a part of any agreement - as that is a matter of discussion between the developers and the community. But the central task is about identifying direct negative issues that may arise with the development and how to work to correct them and to document the process in doing so. It is also imperative for the developers/ Pistons to identify succinctly, what can and cannot be done vis-a-vis community requests. For those who came in late or were not able to attend in person; attached is the presentation, with the future schedule. I will release a contact list of those in attendance later today. Thank You, John Sivills

The NAC has opted to use April 17th for a meeting day with the schedule as follows: 5-6pm NAC members only (planning will attend this meeting as well; 6-7pm meeting is open the community). I need to know which room, if we can use HFHS facilities, this will be in.
From the observation of last night, I do believe it is imperative that the distinction with community impact and subsequent mitigation and community requests from the development be noted. This does not exclude community requests from being a part of any agreement - as that is a matter of discussion between the developers and the community. But the central task is about identifying direct negative issues that may arise with the development and how to work to correct them and to document the process in doing so. It is also imperative for the developers/ Pistons to identify succinctly, what can and cannot be done vis-a-vis community requests.
For those who came in late or were not able to attend in person; attached is the presentation, with the future schedule.
I will release a contact list of those in attendance later today.
Thank You,
John Sivills

John Sivills - Re: Pistons NAC - Change in Schedule From: John Sivills To: Kimani Jeffrey Date: 4/19/2017 8:40 AM Subject: Re: Pistons NAC - Change in Schedule Cc: R. Steven Lewis; Marcell Todd Hi Kimani, Sure. It was the intent for the NAC to meet alone. Steve Lewis and I went there to primarily observe, since this is all new to us. I mentioned this in the letter sent to the NAC following the meeting on April 12th that planning will be there. For your info as well, Council Member Sheffield was there with staff. The NAC discussed concerns that needed to be considered for mitigation; and further categorized the concerns within the impact area and concerns that could be considered by the developer that were not a direct impact of the project. Steve and I did answer some technical questions as it pertained to the CBO that the NAC had, as well as offered some technical advise warranted. We informed the NAC of the change in the schedule. When I receive the list today I will forward to you as well, if it isn't directly copied to you. Thanks, John John F. Sivills,

Would you be able to give me a brief update as to what occurred at the meeting of the 17th. I had the understanding that the NAC was going to meet alone and for the second half, possibly with the community. I guess I had a misunderstanding. I didn't know City staff would be there also. Also, can you provide me with the list of concerns and requests from the NAC once they send it to you. That will really help in my analysis of the process.

A. Act 197, Michigan Public Acts, 1975, as amended (the “DDA Act”) was amended in 2012 (the “2012 DDA Act Amendments”) to allow downtown development authorities to capture tax increment revenues derived from state and local school taxes levied on or after July 1, 2010, for the purpose of financing a “catalyst development project” approved by the Michigan Strategic Fund and a downtown development authority. A catalyst development project is defined in the DDA Act as a project located in a municipality with a population greater than 600,000 and expected to result in at least $300,000,000 in capital investment. Only one project may be so designated by each downtown development authority under the DDA Act. The 2012 DDA Act Amendments provided that costs associated with the land acquisition, preliminary site work, and construction of a catalyst development project may be paid for or reimbursed out of captured tax increment revenues derived from state and local school taxes levied on or after July 1, 2010. In addition, the 2012 DDA Act Amendments authorized the issuance of bonds after July 31, 2012, to pay for costs associated with a catalyst development project, and provided that a tax increment financing plan for such a project could pledge available tax increment revenues of the DDA as security for any bonds issued to develop and construct the project.
