CPHA and the citizens of Broadway East and Oliver neighborhoods will begin an outreach campaign with the goal to discover new talent that will be trained and mentored to enable the community associations to lead in community revitalization. The project focus is located along North Avenue and Biddle Street. Both neighborhoods are bisected via major roadways, Harford Road in Oliver and Gay Street in Broadway East. Both neighborhoods have strong institutions in the heart of the neighborhood but citizen engagement is lacking. 26 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/31/2012 DHCD – cont’d In Oliver, lies the Oliver Recreation Center which continues to serve the citizens by providing both recreational opportunities and human services. At the center of Broadway East lies a more recent investment, the American Brewery Building now occupied by Humanim Corporation. The CPHA has aggressively tackled key challenges facing the region with the core belief that informed and organized citizens are essential to improving the quality of life for everyone. This belief has taken the organization from issues of slum housing, to preserving parkland, to supporting neighborhoods, to fighting liquor advertising, to combating drug addiction and crime, and addressing broad regional issues affecting neighborhoods throughout the region. CPHA has also supported neighborhood residents in organizing themselves to improve conditions in their own communities, becoming the “neighborhood leader's best friend”. 2.

The Board is further requested to authorize the Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Development to execute any and all documents to effectuate this transaction subject to review and approval for form and legal sufficiency by the Department of Law. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: In November 2008, the State of Maryland voters approved a constitutional amendment that authorized a maximum of 15,000 video lottery terminals (VLT) at a maximum of five locations. A VLT Facility was authorized in Baltimore City, if located within one-half mile of Interstate 95 and Interstate 295, on property owned by the City of Baltimore, and not adjacent to or within one-quarter mile of a residential property. In September 2011, the Board approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and, subsequently, in August 2011, a first 47 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/31/2012 BDC – cont’d amendment to the MOU was approved outlining the terms for the Baltimore City facility. These terms needed to be further documented in a definitive ground lease agreement and other agreements. Subsequent to the September 2011 approval of the MOU, the parties engaged in discussions to locate the VLT Facility on Russell Street and convey other City-owned parcels to provide parking for the Project. In accordance with the LDA, the CBAC will purchase from the City parcels of land known as 1501-1525 Warner Street, 1601-1625 Warner Street, 1629-1631 Warner Street, 1633-1643 Warner Street, 1645-1725 Warner Street, 2102 Oler Street, 2104 Worcester Street, 2119 Haines Street (garage site), and the associated street beds for construction of an approximately 4,000 space parking garage. The purchase price for the garage site will be $1,200,000.00 per acre (purchase price). The CBAC will have the option to purchase 701 Ostend Street and 1411 Warner Street for future development to complement the VLT Facility. The option must be exercised within two years of the VLT Facility opening and the purchase price will be the greater of $1,200,000.00 per acre or the appraised value of the sites. In accordance with the lease, the CBAC will be leasing 1501- 1521, 1525, and 1551 Russell Street for up to 50-years from the City and will pay the City: 1. ) 2.99% of the gross gaming revenue with a guaranteed minimum payment of $8,000,000.00 in year one, $10,000,000.00 in year two, $12,000,000.00 in year three, $13,000,000.00 in year four, $14,000,000.00 in year five, and thereafter. (Gross gaming revenues will equal the amount of money bet through the video lottery terminals that are not returned to successful players, and which are submitted to the State.) 48 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/31/2012 BDC – cont’d 2. ) The greater of the property tax payable to the City each year or $3,200,000.00. If the taxes are less than $3,200,000.00, then the difference between the $3,200,000.00 and the taxes is paid as additional rent. Based upon the mid-range projections by an independent consultant, rent and other benefits from the VLT Facility are estimated to generate a five cent property tax reduction on the Baltimore City tax rate in year one, increasing to a seven cent property tax reduction by year five. The VLT Facility is expected to generate 1,939 direct and indirect construction jobs and $119,000,000.00 in wages and benefits annually. Once operational, the VLT Facility will generate 1,894 direct and indirect jobs, and total on-site operational wages and benefits of $72,000,000.00 annually. The CBAC has committed to the Employ Baltimore Program and will make every effort to employ Baltimore City residents. In addition, to the revenue received from the sale of the properties, the ground rent calculation, and from the benefits received as a result of this VLT Facility, the City of Baltimore will receive additional funds for education, local impact grants (which will be used to improve infrastructure in the area and to provide services to the communities in the immediate proximity to the VLT Facility), and funds for the redevelopment of the Park Heights area from the State’s revenue. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The Request for Proposals for a VLT Terminal Facility was issued by the State. The CBAC will comply with the MBE requirements as described in Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement article.

On June 9, 2010, the City entered into an agreement with M.C. Dean for the exclusive provision of certain telecommunication services at the BCC. The exclusivity granted to M.C. Dean does not apply to the in building radio distribution system. In 2011, the BCC was approached by a number of telecommunication companies inquiring about installing a DAS at the BCC. The DAS is similar but much more extensive than the building radio distribution system. The DAS has greater coverage and allows for use by co-locators. The BCC requested the Department of Real Estate to evaluate the offers from the telecommunication companies, select the best offer and conduct negotiations with the selected company. The Cellco Partnership was selected to install the DAS with the understanding that their use of the site would be subject to the rights granted to M.C. Dean and that the DAS would be constructed in a manner that would provide equal access to other telecommunication companies. The previous 1993 agreement with Cellco’s predecessor in interest has been terminated. The Memorandum of Understanding will insure that the DAS will not infringe upon the exclusive rights granted to M.C. Dean to provide telecommunication services to exhibitors at the BCC.
