The City of Mesquite Redevelopment Agency approved a $17,873.25 grant on March 17 to BP Living Trust for landscaping improvements at 12 West Mesquite Boulevard, the shopping center across from City Hall.
Staff presented the application under the agency's new RDA 2 program, which staff said was developed after the 1995 redevelopment agency 30-year plan expired. Staff said the project's total cost is $23,831; the applicant submitted three comparable bids, and staff proposed applying the lowest bid and a 75% reimbursement rate for properties inside the Central Business District to produce a $17,873.25 reimbursement. "Although only two bids are necessary for the application process, they submitted three," staff said. Staff recommended approval.
Councilman Wanless questioned why the board was awarding 75% reimbursements when, he said, the last three years had seen a 50% maximum for awards. Staff replied that projects inside the Central Business District receive 75% reimbursements while projects outside the district receive 50%, and said there is a defined boundary that determines eligibility. "Inside the Central Business District, it's 75%," staff said.
Councilman Parrish asked whether Star 1 Landscaping was licensed; staff confirmed it is a licensed company and stated that Star 1 is owned by Matt Woods. Board members asked for examples of past recipients who received 50% awards; staff said many businesses in the same shopping center'including a bakery and "Hello Gorgeous"'had received 75% and offered to provide a spreadsheet and the program's 10-page description detailing boundaries and eligibility.
Councilwoman Fielding moved to approve the reimbursement to BP Living Trust; the motion was seconded and the agency voted. The chair announced the motion passed. The transcript records some roll-call utterances (for example, "Shelby, aye," "Perez, aye," "Yellow, aye") but does not provide a clear, complete tally in the record provided.
With no final public comment, the chair adjourned the meeting.
