DISCUSSION
A. Matt Mazgaj: There have been changes to the General Municipal Law including a new application, a new uniform criteria for evaluating projects, a new sublease agreement, and also a project monitoring compliance policy. These changes will bring the IDA in line with the requirements of the law.
There is also the proposal of a Transactions Committee. It will be made up of a couple Board members and either Kevin or Rich, that will be able to sit down with an applicant and as if there were a preliminary resolution. The group can authorize the IDA members to go forward and issue notices of public hearings and act in a more expedient pace rather than requiring everyone to come in, get a quorum, get the project moving. Everything is still within the decision of the Board. This will help alleviate special meetings to get the permission of the board.
