PEDC Meeting Minutes: 6/01/2023 1 of 6 PASADENA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Pre-Board Meeting June 1, 2023, 3:00 p.m. Minutes Members present: Members Absent: Rick Lord, President Marilyn Wilkins, Treasurer Salvador Serrano, Jr., Vice President Ernesto Paredes, Secretary Efren Arjona Angela West Others Present: Jeff Moore, Brown & Hofmeister, LLP (via Zoom) Rick Guerrero, Executive Director Julianne Echavarria, PEDC Marketing Manager Karina Tomlinson, PEDC Manager Yolanda Vegas de Eaves, PEDC Sr. Office Assistant Call to order: The Pre-Board meeting for the June 1, 2023 Pasadena Economic Development Corporation was called to order at 3:00 p.m. by Board President, Rick Lord. He read through the items on the agenda stopping at the below. Agenda Item Six: Public Hearing a. Signage at the Convention Center Facility– Rick Guerrero started with a slide of the new signs for the Convention Center. He explained that the reason to reschedule the meeting was that this item was taken out of the current contract with the purpose of funding it separately and through a different vendor and by doing that will save $60,000.00. Mr. Paredes asked who was going to take the credit for the changes, and Mr. Guerrero responded it was Mr. Robin Green, who responded that we’re saving the markup. b. Fairmont Utility Extension Project – Word was given to Mr. Green, a slide with a map was presented and he went on explaining the project’s location. He stated that to the East of the project the City owns 99 acres, and after meeting with the Corp of Engineers and FEMA it was discovered that out of those 99 acres there are 44 acres that can be developed. Mr. Green added that this project runs on the front side of Fairmont and will add sewer and water to the 44-acre tract of land. He added that the south portion of the 99 acres is wetlands, but he suggested that Pasadena can do the same as the City of Katy, where they build elevated walkways that can also be used to birdwatch., it wouldn’t be completely useless, it would make it impossible to construct any kind of improvements there. He went on to explain that this contractor has done a lot of work for the City and whose prices are very competitive. He added that he has a high level of confidence in the numbers. There is a lift station and a force main that will set you up so that the tract will be developed.
PEDC Meeting Minutes: 6/01/2023 2 of 6 Agenda Item Seven: Board Actions – Resolutions a. Board to call a Public Hearing on June 22nd – Mr. Guerrero started with slides showing images regarding the current state of the economy and what has affected it in the last fiscal year. There was a brief technical interruption and he continued after it was resolved. He stated that despite the negativity in the media and across the country, you can see that the budget for 2023 was at $14.154M and the yearend estimate is at $17.635M because of the interest accounts doing so well. The proposed FY 24 is for $17.65M, so despite the negative media, the EDC is doing well. Mr. Guerrero went on to the next slide with an overview of the FY 2024 budget, showing the Catalyst Projects: Major Corridors, Business Development to have a stronger focus on small business, a continued focus on Pasadena Loves Local campaign, and so the plan is for the Board to adopt the new budget at the June 22nd meeting. Next, he spoke about the estimated Fund Balance at Year End ‘23 of approximately $20M, and a portion of that money will be used to fund accounts needing replenishment for upcoming projects. The current revenue guidance for FY ‘24 is $14.45M and recommendations allow the Board to continue to implement the ED Strategic Plan Update. The next slide was the Operating Budget for FY ‘24, and he explained that it will be flat with major decreases in committed incentives. He added that some of those incentives have been paid out, one was Restaurant Depot with a payment of $289K at the beginning of the year so this commitment is pretty much done. The only other incentive EDC has on the books is the Petroleum Service Corporation and EDC made the first payment last year and have one more to make of $100K. Ms. West asked the reason for that payment to Restaurant Depot and Mr. Guerrero explained that it was an incentive with a complicated agreement. The EDC has now paid it out and now the only payment left is the $100,000.00 incentive for Petroleum Service Corporation. Mr. Rick Lord asked if some of that had to do with the land value, Mr. Guerrero responded that some of it was land value and some of it had to do with infrastructure that actually saved millions. Mr. Green added that there was a site swap. Mr. Guerrero then continued with the Operating Budget slides and with account 7124 Incentives Committed. The next slide was a clearer picture of the EDC going from $489K in FY ‘23 to $100K in FY 24 and PSC Group being the only item left to pay in incentives and that was the reason for the change in the operating budget. He showed the Board with the next slide what’s currently committed for FY ’23 and proposed for FY ‘24. For Business Recruitment/Retention and Expansion we are keeping it the same at $1M. Legal consulting, business façade and other implementation was kept close. These changes keep the Professional Services proposed totals with a decrease of $100k with FY ’24 at $2.7M and FY ’23 at $2.8M. He moved on to CIP- FY ‘24 slides, spoke about the Budget Amendment that was approved in February that allocated resources. He added that for the upcoming fiscal year recommendations will be subject to change and it is something we will continue to work on until the very end. EDC continues to have a strong focus on Historic Pasadena with the North Pasadena Redevelopment, Strategic Corridors, and the most important Pasadena Blvd, that we want to make sure we get right because it carries the name of the City. In the next slide for the CIP Mr. Guerrero reviewed candidates for additional funding which include Industrial District estimating about $7M, Vince Bayou Greenway Trail which continues to be designed will be about $2M and finally Corridor Development that will be replenished in the amount of about $1M. He continued with the FY ‘24 Recap, the Operating Budget will see limited changes, the CIP- Request limited to replenishing accounts and allocating funds for recommendations, opportunity for EDC budget to fully implement ED Strategic Plan Update and Livable Centers II, and finally the Budget to be approved at the June meeting. He asked if anyone had questions. Mr. Lord asked Mr. Guerrero when the Updated Strategic Plan would be presented, and Mr. Guerrero answered that it would be coming out this coming week. He added that the plan is finished and was reviewed by the Mayor’s office and the EDC will be sending it out this coming week. He added that Livable Centers plan won’t be ready until the end of summer or early fall. Agenda Item Eight: Report by Executive Director Richey Street: Mr. Guerrero explained that the project has started mobilizing on May 22nd, milling equipment was delivered on May 23rd, so all the electrical conduit and pole footings activity on the West Side of Richey is scheduled to start on June 6th .
PEDC Meeting Minutes: 6/01/2023 3 of 6 Pasadena Boulevard: He stated that Public Works Staff met with Entech Civil Engineers the week of May 15th, to get a progress update and we made a big emphasis that this is important, being Pasadena Blvd., that we need to pay attention to the Boulevard being aesthetically attractive and confirmed that all underground utilities are in good condition before the concrete is poured, and in discussion with Robin we want to make sure we don’t go forward and then we have to back and break it for one reason or another, so that’s why it’s taking time because we want to make sure we get it right. Convention Center: He explained to the Board that as they continue to see there are improvements that continue to go on at the Convention Center as we speak, made a reference to the previous talk about the new signs that are going to be installed soon. He added that him and Sarah Benavides have been working on the next Phase of improvements and once that’s ready they will bring it to the Board for approval. He stated that more is going to be done at the Convention Center and right now they are putting all the pieces together. Mr. Lord commented that it’s looking a lot better at the facility and Mr. Guerrero answered that construction and electrical updates are being done. He finished his presentation reiterating that there is more to come for this project. Pre-board meeting adjourned at 3:16 pm.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Rick Guerrero DATE: June 16, 2023 SUBJECT: Skyrim Studio, Inc. Agreement (S165): Amendment 1 SUMMARY: The Strategic Plan identifies Support Structures for Economic Development that stretch beyond the typical scope of activities related to business growth and investment. Those activities promote, assist and enhance economic development through infrastructure and quality of life opportunities within the city. The Shaw Area Corridor has been identified as a key area for redevelopment. In December 2021 PEDC partnered with City of Pasadena to address the parking issues in the area while also bringing revitalization. EDCs participation focused on special lighting and art, while the City will handle restriping and parking improvements. The Board previously approved an agreement with Skyrim Studio, Inc. to create a light installation at the Shaver/Munger/Main Underpass (PEDC Resolution 21-048). Due to unexpected time delays the project experienced some long pauses that have pushed back the estimated completion. Out of an abundance of caution Staff is recommending an amendment to PEDC Resolution 21-048, an agreement with Skyrim Studio, Inc. to extend said agreement for a period of 12 months. STRATEGIC PLAN JUSTIFICATION: Section 6.4 - Work with the City to upgrade Pasadena’s visual appeal, especially along major commercial corridors and in districts targeted for new development and redevelopment. CURRENT ACTION: Consideration to amend PEDC Resolution No. 21-048, agreement with Skyrim Studio, Inc. to create a place making and light installation project (CIP# S165) by extending the completion date to June 30, 2024. PRIOR ACTION: In December 2021, the Board approved an agreement with Skyrim Studio, Inc. to create a place making and light installation project.

June 13, 2023 Mr. Rick Guererro Executive Director City of Pasadena EDC 1149 Ellsworth Houston, Texas 77506 RE: Qualification Summary Dear Mr. Guerrero, First, Way-Tech would like to thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to perform the construction and electrical work for the Pasadena Convention Center Site Improvements Phase IV Project. I am certain it will be a beneficial experience for all involved in the project. Attached is a Qualification Summary sheet listing some of our most recent projects. We chose these as being most relevant to the Convention Center Improvement Project because of their construction within the City of Pasadena and were built in accordance with all design, code, permit and inspection requirements set forth by the City. Additionally, the most recent two project were publicly solicited by the City on a bid basis. Even though we were the low bidder, Way-Tech is proud we were still able to provide savings to the projects through value engineering initiatives. Furthermore, the electrical subcontractor, Wayne Electrical, has performed work on projects as large as NRG stadium and Medical Center Hospitals, including Baylor and Methodist with scope up to $60 million. Also, our own personnel’s experience stretches back nearly forty years in constructing structures up to $50 million. Lastly, we would urge you to contact our references. All of our clients are truly proud of their facilities, especially the structures we have done on a design/build basis. However, Way-Tech’s reputation is based not just on the buildings, but mostly on the relationships we build through the process. Almost all of our business has resulted from references and repeat customers Again, thanks and we look forward to working with you on this project. Regards, John Plummer Snr.
