Stanton discussed land banks with Rebecca Thompson, as she was in attendance at the  
same conference. Stanton also met with other land trusts.  
VI. OLD BUSINESS  
CCLT Banking Services  
LaBrunerie provided an update. He is waiting on a couple of other banks, but feels the  
current rates they have will not be beat by other institutions. Deaver reminded the Board  
about the time commitments involved if they do decide to change banks. LaBrunerie will  
do one more reach out and will give the final update at the December meeting.  
External Marketing Materials  
i. Housing Summit Marketing Materials Invoice  
Deaver said the motion that was authorized previously for purchases was for $100 and the  
receipts for brochures and pens were above that amount. $111.18 for flyers and $211.97  
for pens.  
The current marketing budget is $2000 and no money has been spent out of that budget  
line yet.  
Stanton would like Bush-Cook and Ascani to work on a buyer based brochure. He would  
like to also look into QR code cards for Board members.  
Motion to approve the outstanding invoices for marketing materials totaling  
$323.15: LaBrunerie

Motion passed unanimously: 7:0  
CCLT Expenditures of ARPA Funds  
i. Cullimore Cottages  
Attachments: PCE Construction  
Grove Construction  
Amelunke discussed bids and pricing options for Cullimore Cottages construction. Best  
and final offer was requested and responses were received from Grove Construction and  
PCE Construction. The bid pricing is per house and two houses are to be built. Stanton  
asked if Job Point could possibly do the builds. Amelunke stated that while it might be a  
viable option in the future, Job Point currently doesn't have the capacity.  
Motion to take the lowest, most qualified bid based on staff recommendations:  
Stanton  
Motion to 2nd: Trotter  
Motion passed unanimously: 6:0  
ii. 6 Fourth Ave.  
Amelunke stated that 6 Fourth Ave. is one lot right now and can start building with one of  
the responses from Grove Construction. Subdividing is possible, but a lengthy process  
that requires neighborhood engagement, going to the Board of Adjustment, going to  
Planning and Zoning, and then City Council. That process will be about 6 to 7 months  
worth of work. Then you would need a house and get the house approved. Once that is  
done, would need to get the house built.  
Board discussed the option of splitting the lot and potentially building two houses and  
what the process would look like. The discussion included doing additional research  
about the lot itself by City staff and Board members. Research is also needed on  
universal design and federal funds.  
Motion to employ City staff and Board to investigate the use of the lot on Fourth  
street as two lots before issuing an RFP for the site: Stanton  
Motion to 2nd: LaBrunerie  
Motion passed unanimously: 6:0  
Amendments to Bylaws  
Attachments: CCLT Bylaws  
Deaver said that at the next meeting the bylaws will be discussed.  
i. Attendance Policy  
Deaver brought up the attendance policy and asked the Board to take a look at it to  
decide if they would like to keep it as it is or make changes. Stanton commented that he  
would like the policy to reflect what Planning and Zoning currently has. City staff will  
locate and send both Planning and Zoning's policy along with the current Land Trust  
attendance policy to members for review.  
Fundraising Operations  
LaBrunerie and Bush-Cook need to pick a date; however, a fundraising event will be  
planned for the Spring of 2025. Stanton asked City staff to locate and email members the  
"Fundraisers Bill of Rights."  
VII. NEW BUSINESS  
Approval of Administrative Agreement for 2025  
Attachments: CCLT DRAFT Administrative Agreement  
Deaver said that the attached agreement was the same one they used in the past with  
updated dates for 2025.  
Motion to approve the 2025 Agreement for Administrative Services: Stanton  
Motion to 2nd: Head  
Motion passed unanimously: 6:0  
VIII. GENERAL COMMENTS BY PUBLIC, MEMBERS AND STAFF  
No public comment.  
LaBrunerie and Stanton reconfirmed that the RFP for realtor services will be on the  
December agenda.  
Deaver said that the recent Housing Summit was great. LaBrunerie was representing the  
Land Trust. Builders, not for profits, housing authority and others were in attendance. It  
was a good networking opportunity. Stanton said that while it was good, he felt like the  
event was preaching to the choir and needed more people who don't get it such as  
banking institutions. Deaver stated that the summit was more about presenting findings  
with the housing report.

X. ADJOURNMENT

Motion to 2nd: Trotter
