The purchase price for each property was reduced to $5,000.00. The reason for reducing the sales price are as follows: 1) the properties are located in a distress area and renovating them would provide a specific benefit to the immediate community, 2) the conditions of the properties and structural deterioration, which occurred subsequent to the appraisal also made it necessary to reduce the price, and 3) it will provide a boost for development in the Winston Govans area.

Compensation for the Deputy Fire Chief is to be maintained at 115% of the maximum salary plus longevity of a Fire Battalion Chief grade 344 ($92,992.00). The salary of the current Deputy Chiefs will be adjusted within the range of $106,941.00. The compensation of Assistant Fire Chief will be adjusted and maintained at 125% of the maximum salary plus longevity of Fire Battalion Chief, grade 344 ($92,992.00). The compensation of the current Assistant Fire Chief will be adjusted within the range of grade 959 to $116,240.00. Upon authorization of the fixed compensation relationship between these sworn assignments, future salary adjustments within the range may be made as needed to maintain the relationship. This fixed salary applies only to Deputy Fire Chief and Assistant Fire 50 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/28/10 Department of Human Resources ­ cont'd Chief assignments. Compensation for these positions will now be treated as a flat salary rate and will not be eligible for performance-based salary adjustments within the range. The proposed pay adjustments are expected to ameliorate retention and recruitment difficulties experienced for these critical assignments, which have been impacted by pay compression from the lower ranks. APPROVED FOR FUNDS BY FINANCE. 51 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/28/10 Baltimore Development) ­ Land Disposition Agreement Corporation (BDC) ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the land disposition agreement with New Pulaski Company Limited Partnership (NPC), developer, for the sale of the City­owned property located at 6709 Pulaski Highway comprising of 19.136 acres. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $1,090,000.00 ­ Sale Price BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: In 1981, the City, as owner of the Property, leased it to Pulaski II Limited Partnership (Pulaski), a predecessor of the NPC under a 50 year ground lease. Under this agreement, the City sold the site improvements to Pulaski II Limited Partnership and the organization agreed to operate and maintain the incinerator through 1995. On May 3, 1995, the Board amended the original ground lease, providing Pulaski with four successive ten-year renewal options at a market rent beginning in 2031 when the original lease expires. The price of $1,090,000.00 that the NPC will pay the City is based on a January 2009 appraisal. As of January 2009, the appraisal for 6709 Pulaski Highway notes the likely need for environmental clean-up but does not estimate the clean-up cost. The value of the City's leased fee rights is based on a commercial use, which assumes that the property has been re- zoned to allow such use. The values under the appraisal are as follows: Estimated fee simple value $4,900,000.00 Estimated leasehold estate value ( 3,810,000.00) Estimated leased fee value (City's value) $1,090,000.00 52 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/28/10 BDC ­ cont'd The Property is currently zoned heavy industrial (M-2-1). The NPC has requested the introduction of a Planned Unit Development legislation that, if approved by the City Council, would allow the property to be used for commercial as well as industrial purposes. Pulaski and the NPC submitted an application for the site to MDE's Voluntary Cleanup Program on April 23, 2003, as responsible persons, requesting a "no further requirements determination". Completion of the Remediation Action Plan requirements will result in a Certificate of Completion (COC) being issued to the applicants for the property; the COC would limit the City's future liability for existing contamination at the site. The City will not contribute to the cost of remediation. The land disposition agreement will also retain two City easements; one for access to adjacent city property and the other for utilities. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: (The land disposition agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 53 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/28/10 Baltimore Development ­ Transfer of Funds Corporation (BDC) ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve a Transfer of Funds to the Baltimore City Department of Transportation (DOT). AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $1,800,000.00 - Account Number 9911-905858-9600 (State-Other) BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On February 3, 2010, the Board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Maryland Transportation Administration (MTA), the DOT, and the BDC which specifically included the Howard Street Catenary Project. Under the intergovernmental agreement, the MTA will complete the design and construction work for Replacement Catenary Poles that will allow for the removal of the existing poles and crossbeam system that the Light Rail Catenary wires are now connected at four locations on each side of Howard Street between Fayette and Saratoga Streets. The review of the design will be coordinated by MTA with both the DOT and the BDC. The actual construction will proceed under the direction of the MTA. The DOT will manage the project on behalf of the City. The MTA is franchised by the City, to operate Light Rail along Howard Street. The City owns certain real property, known as Howard Street, and through its agency, the DOT, maintains Howard Street and the intersecting contiguous streets. The City through the DOT will provide the MTA with funding in the amount of $1,800,000.00 for the construction work from its remaining State of Maryland FY 2009 and FY 2010 appropriation for the Westside Revitalization Project. 54 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 7/28/10 BDC ­ cont'd The Catenary Project will be completed in conjunction with the relocation of the Light Rail Lexington Station Southbound (S/B) Platform from its present location between Fayette and Lexington Streets, to between Lexington and Saratoga Streets; and the replacement of bus shelters on the northbound (N/B) side of Howard Street; a new highblock with glass railings on the S/B side, new or modified highblock with glass railings on the N/B side, light rail and bus shelters, ticket vending machines (TVMs) and other transit amenities such as benches, trash receptacles, etc. Other improvements include the removal of transit related items from the S/B platform presently located on the westside of Howard Street between Fayette and Lexington Streets and the restoration of the underlying sidewalk area. MTA will complete the design and construction of landscape improvements on Howard Street, which may include such elements as landscaping, streetscaping, and planters. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: MTA will adhere to the State of Maryland requirements for MBE/WBE. THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
