Presentation and discussion of a proposal from Southern Roots regarding the potential development of a baseball complex on land within the Midtown Business Park. Michael Ostrowski, Chief Development Officer, announced Southern Roots' proposal for an 80-acre, 9-field all -turf baseball complex in Midtown Business Park. Aiming to attract national sports tourism and meet local youth baseball needs, the project was relocated from outside City limits near Millican Reserve to Midtown due to better infrastructure, visibility, alignment with development goals, and reduced risk. He stated that currently the city has plans for three additional baseball fields at Veterans Park, including a championship field for the Brazos Valley Bombers, and the City Council may want to consider how the project might affect these plans. Mr. Ostrowski explained that if the Southern Roots project moves forward the expansion plan for Veterans Park, estimated at $30-$35 million, may be a consideration along with the opportunity cost of removing Midtown site from future employment - based development Proposed Complex Considerations as Proposed: • City would provide 80-100 acres of land and capital participation of $15-$20 million • Possible change in future use of Midtown Business Park • Potential Veterans Park and Athletic Complex ballfields project economic impact Thomas Rogers, Southern Roots, stated that they are seeking a public —private partnership with the city to bring to life an 80-acre, 9-field, all -turf tournament baseball complex which would anchor Midtown as family -oriented destination, deliver long -envisioned amenities to the area, and position College Station as a national sports tourism hub. They believe that with public opposition to industrial uses in Midtown, this project could be a better fit and attract visitors and support local businesses but would consume land zoned for future business. A draft site plan preserves frontage along Midtown Drive for future development, includes a future academic baseball academy, and additional educational and economic opportunities. In addition, they would provide weekday field access at no cost for local CCM 100925 Minutes Page 4 youth leagues and city programs which would be measurable, scheduled, and reported annually. The city would be minority participant with a total project build -out cost of $55-60 million. Southern Roots Requests of the Citv of College Station • Land: Donate 80 acres in the Midtown district (behind Costco) with an option to purchase 20 acres for future expansion. • Capital Participation: $15MM-$$20MM (eligible to phase over 2-3 years). 15M for base model and an additional 5M to incorporate a 3,800-seat stadium with press box and suites. • Capital Improvements such as roads, sewage, and water infrastructure. • Rezoning for this use. Mayor Nichols opened for Citizen Comments. James Murr, College Station, addressed the Council, emphasizing the community's desire to bring baseball fields back to Midtown. He highlighted strong resident support for Thomas's proposal and criticized Veterans Park's (VPAC) side fields as unsuitable. Mr. Murr recommended a public -private partnership and suggested reallocating funds from ancillary fields at VPAC to expedite the project. Jeffery Hughes, College Station, voiced support for the baseball complex project, citing its potential economic benefits, local business boost, and attraction of visitors. He recommended incorporating community input to align the project with residents' values, advocating for a collaborative approach. Rex Sanders, College Station, raised concerns about Baseball Academies emerging due to the legislature's school voucher system. These academies recruit high school athletes with promises of scholarships, causing athletes to leave their local schools and communities to lose talent. Mr. Sanders explained that state athletic associations and local coaches oppose this trend and hope the Council will address these issues by supporting this development. There being no further comments, Citizen Comments was closed. The Council directed staff to continue discussions with Southern Roots on this project, keeping the veterans' options open with goal is to finalize aspects like timing, funding, and agreement terms within a given period to make a go or no-go decision on both projects in the near future.

Anthony Armstrong, Director of Planning and Development, stated that this item is an opportunity for the Council to discuss their vision for a Small Area Plan for Midtown. He presented the reviewed options, objectives, scope, and a possible timeline for completion. Mr. Armstrong requested that council define the planning area's boundaries, topics, and data included as well as prioritize this effort alongside existing projects like Northgate and the Harvey Road Corridor Small Area Plans. Potential Options for City Efforts in Midtown • Full Small Area/Neighborhood Planning effort ✓ Recent ex.: Northeast Gateway Plan • "Abbreviated SAP"/Engagement Plan CCM 100925 Minutes Page 5 ✓ Recent ex.: Greater Northgate Plan • Land Plan Charrette ✓ Recent ex.: None.

James Murr, College Station, stated that he is advocating for the Midtown plan's implementation, emphasizing what he feels is the promise of city investment since 2012. He went on to state that residents are dissatisfied with their higher tax rates due to a lack of commercial developments in the area, which they believe requires significant city leadership and investment to change. Shelby Behm, Midtown, came before council promoting a comprehensive approach to Midtown. She highlighted learning from past experiences, setting clear goals, and securing community buy -ins before proposing large plans. She endorses involving all stakeholders and ensuring documented commitments with measurable actions and timelines. Jeffery Hughes, College Station, expressed his strong support for a community area planning workshop. He emphasized the importance of this initiative for maintaining neighborhood integrity and attracting beneficial investments. Mr. Hughes underlined the potential of converting unused land into spaces suitable for recreation, business, and family activities. Amy Alge, College Station, came before council urging the city to invest in the long-awaited Midtown plan after years of delays.

A consensus of Council decided staff to use a charrette-style approach for the land plan, with the assumption that the city will proceed with baseball fields as proposed in 8.1 by Southern Roots. Staff were requested to start the process after 30 days, engaging stakeholders in two to four open house community meetings to gather input on land use planning, capital expenditure preferences, and seeking general feedback from the public. Additionally, identify other desired capital expenditures, ensure trail connectivity between all parks, and return with the logistics of a Lakeway bridge project. 8.3. Presentation, discussion, and Possible action regarding policies and procedures related to real estate transactions, economic development incentives, development agreements, and non- disclosure agreements. CCM 100925 Minutes Page 6 Michael Ostrowski, Chief Development Officer, provided an overview of the City's procedures concerning real estate transactions, economic development incentives, development agreements, and non -disclosure agreements (NDAs). Mr. Ostrowski explained that this item aims to elucidate the standard processes currently in place for each of these areas and to foster a broader discussion on potential refinements to enhance awareness and public engagement. General Process • Item or request is submitted to the Council for direction. • Based on that direction staff engages in negotiations. • Council receives updates on the progress of negotiation and provides additional direction. • If a preliminary agreement is established, the item is added to the Council agenda for presentation, discussion, and possible action. Potential Options • Require a non -decision workshop session prior to finalizing any property transaction or economic development incentive, providing an opportunity for public discussion and feedback. • Arrange public engagement gatherings (Meet the Project) for significant development or redevelopment initiatives to encourage community participation. • Create a standardized template for non -disclosure agreements and/or require Council consent for non -disclosure agreements related to development projects. • Require Council consent for both the language and scoring criteria utilized in bid/proposal requests. • Council to take formal action in an open session after any executive session where direction is given on a specific item. • Update or modify guidelines for economic development incentives to ensure they align with current objectives. Mayor Nichols opened for Citizen Comments. Jeffery Hughes, College Station, addressed the Council about concerns regarding non -disclosure agreements (NDAs) in city government. He argued that NDAs undermine public trust and accountability by limiting transparency, especially in significant decisions like economic development deals. Mr. Hughes highlighted that secrecy could reduce community input, obscure conflicts of interest, and diminish confidence in leadership. He recommends public disclosure of all agreements involving public funds, an open forum for residents before any action, and urged the Council to adopt transparent practices. Lloyd Davis, College Station, addressed the Council about NDAs, specifically. He made two suggestions on NDAs: real estate transactions should require signatures from a majority of Council members, not just staff and must expire at least three weeks before the topic is discussed publicly so the public can review and provide input. There being no further comments, Citizen Comments was closed. CCM 100925 Minutes Page 7 The majority of the Council has directed staff to bring back a policy incorporating a mix of the options presented with the goal of formalizing a process for the disclosure of NDA's and requiring period of public input before Council action. 9.
