The water wheel deposits the trash in an attached dumpster which is periodically emptied and the trash is taken to BRESCO for final disposal. The water wheel is very visible and has attracted extensive, positive media attention.

Trash collected by the water wheel would otherwise need to be collected by the Department’s skimmer boat operation. This agreement represents an excellent collaboration between government and a nonprofit that represents business interests that support environmental initiatives. Under the terms of the agreement, upon approval by the Board the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, Inc. will submit an invoice to the DPW covering hauling, disposal, and tipping fees from May 8, 2014, the date the water wheel began operation through the approval of this agreement.

The PILOT commencement date which is effective upon the date a State Agency begins to pay rent on space within the PILOT project term of the PILOT Agreement is through 20 years. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The State of Maryland (State) owns and occupies property known as the State Center roughly bounded by Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Madison Avenue, Dolphin Street, and North Howard Street. The State has entered into a master development agreement and related phase ground leases with State Center, LLC (the developer), for the redevelopment of this state-owned property into a mixed-use, transit oriented development, that upon final completion, is expected to include approximately 2.1 million square feet of office space, 1,500 residential dwelling units with a commitment to affordable housing, 265,000 square feet of retail space, 345,000 square feet of public space, and 5,500 parking spaces. This project represents a substantial investment in the City of Baltimore that will provide a transit- connected anchor for the entire region. As State-owned and occupied land, the City of Baltimore currently receives zero dollars in real property tax revenue. The first phase (Phase 1) of the project is on Parcel G (Block 459, Lot 3) and Parcel I-2 (Block 478, Lot 2), and will include approximately 515,000 square feet of office space to be leased by the State of Maryland (including 390,000 square feet to be leased by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 100,000 31 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 BDC – cont’d by the Maryland Transit Administration, and 25,000 by the Maryland Department of Planning), 15,000 square feet of private office space, 200,000 square feet of other commercial space, 20 residential mixed-income rental units, a parking garage, and 15,000 square feet of retail. The cost of the first phase is approximately $215,000,000.00. The 20-year PILOT applies to the incremental City real property taxes assessed for the state-leased portions of Phase I only. The rest of the project, including the remainder of Phase I will pay full City taxes. Under the PILOT, the state-leased offices will pay $2.50 per square foot, and Phase I alone is expected to generate approximately $1.7 million in annual tax revenue for the City. The PILOT allows the City to participate in profit- sharing if the project were to achieve a return above a specified rate. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The Developer has signed the Commitment to Comply with Article 5, Subtitle 28 of the Baltimore City Code (2000 Edition) regarding Minority and Women’s Enterprise Business in its development of this project.

The Developer’s proposed residential conversion project will be an adaptive re-use of the existing structures and will be designed to include ground floor retail. The project is expected to include between 5-9 market-rate residential units, and 500 - 2,600 square feet of retail space.

The Department is now requesting to pay the contractor for work performed on Walther Avenue from Moravia Road to Eastern Parkway and Northern Parkway at Hillen Road that included paving, signage, and electrical work. The cost of the needed items will be offset by underutilized items remaining in the contract. This request is submitted late because it was necessary to obtain review and approval of the re-design of the above locations, which resulted in the need for new bid items and additional time to complete the work. 34 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 Dept. of Transportation – cont’d DBE PARTICIPATION: The Contractor made Good Faith Efforts towards achieving the 30% DBE goal.

The period of the campaign will be effective upon Board approval through March 27, 2015. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: No general funds are involved in this transaction. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The Department is launching its inaugural Born to Ride Program. A program designed to teach children the fundamentals of bicycle safety. In addition, Born to Ride will also secure future resident retention by granting the gift of bicycle ownership to individuals that may not otherwise have access to bicycles. As the Department works to improve bicycle safety, infrastructure, and accessibility, it has become apparent that a grassroots effort is what is needed to move this initiative forward. In 2014, the Department launched its’ Safe Routes to School Program, a platform that uses a Federal grant to create secure travel routes for students who walk and bicycle to school. Born to Ride would serve as a complement to the Safe Routes to School program, providing students from these schools an opportunity to participate in the program. To qualify for the Baltimore City Foundation’s account, the Department must first obtain an endorsement from the Board of Estimates. The City intends to enlist the help of the Baltimore 37 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 Department of Transportation – cont’d City Foundation, the City’s 501(c) (3), to secure donations from local and national businesses that support the Born to Ride cause. As a City agency, the Department is prohibited from using its’ funds to purchase items outright for charitable donations. The Baltimore City Code Article 8, Section 6-26, prohibits solicitation or facilitating the solicitation of a gift. An exception was enacted in 2005 to permit certain solicitations that are for the benefit of an official governmental program or activity, or a City-endorsed charitable function or activity that has been pre-approved by the Ethics Board. Ethics Regulation 96.26B sets out the standards for approval, which includes the requirement that the program, function, or activity to be benefited and the proposed solicitation campaign must be endorsed by the Board of Estimates or its designee. 38 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 Department of Transportation – Memorandum of Understanding ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with East North Avenue Community Development Corporation, B.U.I.L.D., Inc., and The New South Clifton Park Community Association. The period of the MOU is effective upon Board approval for ten years. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On June 25, 2014, the Board approved the transfer of Laurence G. Paquin School from the inventory of Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners to the inventory of Department of Transportation because the Department has a significant need for new office space to house its Maintenance Administration, because it needs to relocate its Towing Division to the 520 Fallsway facility. This MOU outlines the partnership with the community to make sure the Department causes the least amount of disruption and inconvenience to its neighbors and provides positive benefits to the community to improve the quality of life in the surrounding neighborhoods. The Department will use the school to house the offices of its Maintenance Administration including approximately sixty employees and 30 vehicles. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: N/A (The Memorandum of Understanding has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 39 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 Department of Human Resources – Housing Reimbursement ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize reimbursement of six months of transitional housing for Ms. Leana Wen effective January 15, 2015 through July 31, 2015. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $10,800.00 - 1001-000000-3001-599000-603003 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Ms. Wen was selected for the executive position as Health Commissioner, after a national search. The letter of intent included payment of her transitional housing costs. She will be provided six months of transitional housing because her recruitment was outside of the Baltimore area. Three estimates for transitional housing were received from communities in the area. The Department of Human Resources has reviewed the estimates provided and agrees that the term should be for six months at $1,800.00 per month beginning January 15, 2015. The total request for reimbursement is $10,800.00.

Mr. James B. Kraft wishes to continue to solicit donations from local individuals and businesses to fund the Southeast Schools Fund. The period of the solicitation is effective upon Board approval through December 31, 2015. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: No general funds are involved. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Donations will be solicited from local individuals and businesses. A potential donor list will be comprised of businesses and individuals that have a history of participating in activities related to the content matter or specific programs, or who live or do business in the communities served by participating schools. Most of the individual and corporate entities fitting that description are not controlled donors. However, those potential donors who are controlled donors will not be targeted or singled out in any way and will be solicited, if at all, in the same manner as all other potential donors. Baltimore City Code Article 8, Section 6-26, prohibits solicitation or facilitating the solicitation of a gift. An exception was enacted in 2005 to permit certain solicitations that are for the benefit of an official governmental program or activity, or a City-endorsed charitable function or activity. Ethics Regulation 96.26B sets out the standards for approval, which includes the requirement that the program, function, or activity to be benefited and the proposed solicitation campaign must be endorsed by the Board of Estimates or its designee. 42 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 Office of the President – cont’d There is an acute need to provide Baltimore City students with supplementary programs that will allow them to explore issues and activities beyond the classroom. However, the scarcity of resources available often means that supplementary programs are overlooked. These funds would be used to establish a variety of activities that could otherwise not be implemented, such as the Southeast Schools Baseball League, recycling competitions, and essays contests. These programs would promote competition and collaboration among schools and the involvement of community members in school-based activities. The Southeast Schools Fund has been established with the Baltimore City Foundation in order to maintain these funds. Expenditures will be reviewed at meetings including representatives of participating schools and other involved community members. 43 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/04/2015 Department of Human Resources – Personnel Matter The Board is requested to approve the following Personnel matter: Health Department Hourly Rate Amount 1.
