3. CALL FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS – N/A
4. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A
5. FOLLOW UP FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS – N/A
6. TCAC PRIORITIES FOR CITY CENTER
Sean said the costs of some of the projects will be known soon, but the focus should be on which
projects or programs will have the most impact. Tom recommended that Commissioners ensure all
the Projects, Programs and Values they want included before moving forward. The City’s financial
advisor is helping to figure out when to borrow and the amount, so completing the priorities before
year end will help guide TCDA decisions. Commissioners discussed weighting of the different values
contained in the column headers, allowing new Commissioners to reevaluate the priorities, adding a
Visual Design column, broadening column nine by changing it to Environmental Impact, and add to
column five the complimentary character of the project to what already exists and what the future
vision is. Tom asked that the Projects and Programs be reviewed with recommended changes shared
via email for discussion at the November meeting.
7. DOWNTOWN REIMAGINED UPDATE (CONT.)
Sean noted the presentation from the last meeting was shared with Council/TCDA. He briefly
reviewed the proposed Land Use and Connectivity Concepts. Commissioners asked for a document
listing proposed changes. That document is planned, but Sean will move the timeline up for it. It
was noted that for the Housing Strategy, the requirement to include affordability is applicable for
projects requesting TIF funding, so the verbiage will be changed.

8. 3RD QUARTER GOALS/PLANNING ANNUAL REPORT
Commissioners did not have any changes. Tom asked them to review the updates as the annual
report will be drafted soon. Any necessary changes will be shared via email. The liaison work with
the TDA will be added to the annual report.
9. NICK WILSON MEMORIAL PLAZA UPDATE
Sean briefly shared the Concept drawings from the Consultant that were included in the Agenda.
The existing Main St. crossing was seen as the best option, but concern was expressed regarding
potential conflict between bicyclists and pedestrians. With a straighter path bicyclists may travel at
higher speeds. Sean will check with the Consultant to explore methods for both Concept A and B to
allow a mixed-use trail with bicyclists, pedestrians, people and recreating at the Plaza without
impacting ADA access. Any preferences or additional concerns will be shared via email with Sean.
10. PROJECT UPDATES
Sean briefly reviewed the updates included with the Agenda.
11. TCAC RECRUITMENT UPDATE/ OFFICERS FOR 2024
Adrian announced he will not be able to serve next year. Tom and Scott will be terming out at the
end of the year. Both the Chair and Vice Chair positions will be vacant. There is still one voting
position vacant and applications should be submitted before October 20, 2023.
