Staff Summary: Doppelgangers Bar & Grill is the outstanding brewpub at former Lucky Spur property. On May 20, 2008, the Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee unanimously approved a financial incentive request of $100,000 made by the owner of Doppelgangers Bar & Grill, Alan Adams, to assist with his multi-million dollar improvement project at the former Lucky Spur. Last year, the RDA received its reimbursement of $80,000 associated with the original $100,000 incentive awarded for the renovation of the property. Mr. Adams' latest request for incentive funding is for additional improvements to the property. The continued renovation and improvement of this important Carson City building adds value to this entire district and helps to reinvigorate the entire area. In fact, the RDA and Mr. Adams' representatives will soon begin discussions to conceptualize, plan for, and execute a mixed-use project across the street at the former Stewart Title building.
Staff Summary: The Redevelopment Authority (RDA) recently asked for certain funding projects to respond to immediate development opportunities and have a significant impact. The Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee is asking the Redevelopment Authority to consider allowing the RACC to budget $60,000 to have John Procaccini of the Brewery Arts Center construct and maintain a portable stage and other performance venue enhancements such as portable plaza enhancements specific to Downtown's needs.
E) Staff report on Downtown events coordination for 2008-09.
Staff Summary: Staff will report to the Redevelopment Authority regarding events coordination activities in the Downtown for this summer and fall.

Staff's role is focused on helping coordinate outreach, public relations and advertising, establishing finding tools for parking and pedestrian circulation and supporting downtown events and new activities.
Staff Summary: The Redevelopment Authority (RDA) recently asked for certain funding projects for consideration, specifically Mayor Teixeira=s desire to spend some bond proceed funds on streetscape improvements, but only if the proposed projects respond to immediate development opportunities and have a significant impact. Thus, the Redevelopment Authority Citizens Committee is asking the Redevelopment Authority to consider allowing the RACC to budget $200,000 of the remaining bond proceeds for a set of physical improvement projects in 2008-2009 in the Downtown. In addition, the adjoining property owners will be asked to help pay for improvement projects that directly advance the value of their property. The street frontage improvements will include storm drainage mitigation & gateway streetscape, lighting, engineering & construction management. The costs estimate will depend on final bids. In the next few months, the RACC will identify and prioritize its list of essential projects and bring these projects to the Redevelopment Authority for approval. Examples of possible physical improvement projects include Third Street, Telegraph Square, East Telegraph, and Stewart and Musser in front of D'Vine Wine.
