Robert Petrovich stated Chris Andreucci is representing the IDA as conflict counsel. Kevin McAuliffe stated last year the Agency approved the construction of two 41,000 square feet buildings on an approximately 11 acre parcel in the Town of DeWitt. He stated the first building is under construction and that is going to be the international headquarters of Widewaters. He stated due to COVID they have determined it is not logical at this time to proceed with construction of the 2nd building which will be purely speculation on occupancy. He stated they have asked the Agency to allow counsel to modify the documents and remove from 2 Page:4 the relationship the 2nd parcel upon which nothing would be constructed at this time. He stated the legal description would be modified and the description of the project changing it down to reflect one 41,000 square foot building. He stated there will still be all the jobs as originally presented in the 2019 application. He stated the net effect actually increases the cost benefit ratio because they are spending only a slightly smaller amount of money when you look at the total investment but all the jobs and salaries will be there. He stated they simply won’t be building the second building and would eliminate from the IDA relationship of that second parcel.

Robert Petrovich stated the project cap has been reduced by roughly 50% in terms of the benefits to the project. He stated the original is in the package as well as the modified summaries of the project to see the differences. He stated counsel has determined that we are in compliance by doing this. Chris Andreucci agreed and said that he will draft an omnibus amendment to remove the second building from the project description. He stated individual documents that would modify the record will be filed with the County Clerk’s office to show the change. He stated the PILOT schedule will be modified to reflect only one building and the sales tax exemption authority will be reduced which will be evidenced in a modified ST-60 that he will prepare and file with the State on behalf of the Agency.
Victor Ianno asked if 18 months from now things turn around and they have an opportunity to build another building, is that going to be a brand new application at that time. Chris Andreucci stated it will be a brand new application.

3 Page:5 SSC LYSANDER LLC – SECOND MEETING David Spotts stated the project is a 3.5 megawatt AC ground mounted solar facility.

Jeff Davis stated this is a request for an authorization of purchase for land on Caughdenoy Road. He stated OCIDA currently owns all the land from Route 31 and Caughdenoy Road north to the railroad tracks and all the frontage there with the exception of this small parcel owned by the Arnaults. He stated there has been some interest in acquiring this property for quite some time. He stated the property that is just north of the Arnaults that OCIDA owns has an existing house on the property. He stated there is a life estate for the Kings on this property and there is a relationship between the Kings and the Arnaults. He stated by acquiring the property by the Arnaults it is the understanding that the life estate for Kings would in all likelihood have Mrs. King move to be closer to relatives as the Arnaults are relocated. He stated this is 3.17 acres of land and it gives OCIDA all the road frontage on Caughdenoy Road from the intersection of Route 31 to the railroad tracks. He stated everything on the east side of Caughdenoy Road would then be owned by OCIDA which is all part of the current White Pine Park and covered under the 336 acre generic environmental impact study that was done in 2013. He stated before the Board are two requested resolutions. He stated the first is a SEQR resolution that identifies this as an unlisted action and recognizes the fact that there is no direct subsequent development or commitment by this Agency by proceeding with a purchase of the property. He stated there is potential for future development and if it were to occur that would be part of a specific environmental review. He stated the development that could be on the property is currently unknown. He stated it would not be productive to do a full environmental review of the property other than just an environmental review for acquisition of the land so that the Agency can control it and become part of the White Pine Park for any future development which then would be studied separately. He stated the first request is that the Agency would act as lead agency and we will issue a recommendation for a negative declaration with regard to the purchase of the

He stated the second is authorizing the execution of the purchase and sale agreement for $300,000 to purchase the Arnault property. He stated the Arnault property is improved property and it contains a home, out buildings and out parcels etc. He stated the purchase price is reflective that this is last remaining parcel that the Agency does not own with road frontage on the east side of Caughdenoy Road as well as the relationship with the property to the north with the life estate.
Victor Ianno asked how much frontage we have along Route 31 going east. Jeff Davis stated about one quarter mile.
Susan Stanczyk asked if this is the last piece on Caughdenoy Road. Robert Petrovich stated yes. Patrick Hogan asked if this is locking up the last piece of property in furtherance of the Agency’s plans for further development of this property. Jeff Davis stated it has been included and identified on the marketing efforts for OCIDA for White Pine so it’s one that has been the hold out and we are now in a position to purchase that and move forward to obtain all of the rectangle that is currently identified as the White Pine Park.
Victor Ianno asked if at this point we are done with Caughdenoy Road side and the acquisitions along Route 31. Jeff Davis stated yes. He stated this would conclude rounding out the Caughdenoy Road/Route 31 side.
8 Page:10 3.17 acres of land from the Arnaults. He stated the second is authorizing the execution of the purchase and sale agreement for $300,000 to purchase the Arnault property. He stated the Arnault property is improved property and it contains a home, out buildings and out parcels etc. He stated the purchase price is reflective that this is last remaining parcel that the Agency does not own with road frontage on the east side of Caughdenoy Road as well as the relationship with the property to the north with the life estate.
Victor Ianno asked how much frontage we have along Route 31 going east. Jeff Davis stated about one quarter mile.

Victor Ianno asked when will OCIDA be at the point when we say we don’t need any more property there. Jeff Davis stated in the marketing of the property to the high end users that have been identified in discussions that have gone on since 2013 with various potential suitors, he believes it’s fair to say, that we have identified the fact that current land holdings for OCIDA are not sufficient to support the scale of development that one would want to bring here. He stated there are a lot of nice things in terms of water, availability, location and access but the size is restrictive at the current acreage OCIDA owns. He stated the current White Pine Park under GEIS is 336 acres. He stated OCIDA has purchased additional land outside of that and has under control right now about 600 acres through option agreements. He stated there is a need to expand that to a larger area for the type of development that we are trying to attract. 9 Page:11 Upon a motion by Janice Herzog, seconded by Victor Ianno, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution authorizing the adoption of a SEQRA negative declaration determination. Motion was
carried.

Jeff Davis stated in 2013 the Agency completed a generic environmental impact statement studying potential development on the property and that included a parcel on White Pine Park that is 336 acres. He stated as discussed it is currently vacant and they have identified and learned that the park needs to be a larger area. He stated this Board has undertaken a process through acquisition of lands to do that, expand the park and consider acquiring more land. He stated the motion before the Board now is a reopening of the 2013 GEIS so that this Board can commence a similar generic environmental review of a larger White Pine Park area. He stated it will become the supplemental GEIS so the request before the Board is to issue a positive declaration under SEQR that will commence the process of notifying other agencies involved and interested that OCIDA plans to be lead agency for purposes of conducting a supplemental GEIS and we will send out notices to all involved and interested agencies of that intent. He stated they will have 30 days to comment and provide their consent to the Agency to be lead agency for this supplemental GEIS. He stated upon the completion of that 30 day period and assuming nobody objects OCIDA will then take on conducting a generic environmental review of an expanded White Pine Park up to 1,253 acres along the Caughdenoy Road/Route 31/Burnet Avenue corridor area and slightly east of Burnet Avenue. He stated the potential development of 1,253 acres would be studied in the same way that OCIDA studied the potential development and issue the GEIS in 2013. He stated there is no specific project at this time but a GEIS is an appropriate step taken when one is trying to develop a future high end business park like this and become shovel ready. He stated the action before the Board is authorizing the Agency to consider itself and declare itself lead agency to issue the appropriate notices and to commence a supplemental generic environmental impact statement on that 1,253 acre park.

10 Page:12 Patrick Hogan asked if this would advise all other governmental entities that the Agency would be the lead agency. Jeff Davis stated we are declaring by issuing a positive declaration that we are saying there is a potential for significant environmental impact for future development for this area and we are going to study it. He stated we are asking to be lead agency to perform that study. He stated it would in essence be reopening what was done in 2013 and taking a look at those exact same impacts over a larger geographic area and what would come with a development that would be a larger development in that geographic area.
Upon a motion by Susan Stanczyk, seconded by Janice Herzog, the OCIDA Board approved a resolution authorizing the adoption of a SEQRA determination, declaring the Board’s intent to act as lead agency, and authorizing the Executive Director to take the necessary steps to initiate and develop a supplement to the September 2013 final generic environmental impact statement. Motion was carried.
Patrick Hogan stated he would like to congratulate staff, Mr. Petrovich and certainly the County Executive’s office.
Upon a motion by Janice Herzog, seconded by Victor Ianno, the OCIDA Board adjourned the meeting at 9:31 am. Motion was carried.

Bob Murray stated the request in effect is an allocation of the already approved sales tax benefit with respect to the project. He stated nothing is changing. He stated at the time the application was submitted the name of the tenant could not be disclosed. He stated tenant’s contemplated investment was included in the overall scope of the project. He stated at this point in time the tenant has confirmed its spend with respect to machinery and equipment that is subject to sales tax. He stated the gross figure was included in the initial investment of $250,000,000 that was on the landlord’s ledger. He stated $100,000,000 of that dollar amount is being allocated to tenant’s spend so the landlord’s spend of expenditures subject to sales tax will decrease by $100,000,000 and Amazon’s expenditure will increase by $100,000,000. He stated the sales tax benefit authorized to the landlord will decrease. He stated there will be about $8,000,000 of sales and use tax benefits. He stated at the end of the day it is an accounting exercise with respect to who is making purchases within the facility but as it stands Amazon does not have the authority to make sales tax exempt purchases and that is the request before the Board today.

Robert Petrovich stated the overall project benefit is not going to change but the allocation is going to change. He stated the resolution is authorizing a public hearing. He stated there is going to be some substantiation on what the spending was and the allocation of the use of sales tax thus far to confirm what the remainder is. He stated he understands this is a generic request in the sense that it is taking big numbers and moving them around. Jeff Davis stated we may have received some of that information already so this will then have to be papered over and documented because OCIDA does not have an agreement for any privity of contract to provide the sales tax exemption to Amazon at the moment. He stated there will have to be some new 4 Page:19 paperwork completed assuming that everything goes through with the public hearing and the Board authorizes it.
Robert Petrovich asked if there will be another closing. Jeff Davis stated not quite a closing but execution of documents creating a relationship that allows OCIDA to extend the sales tax exemption to Amazon.
Patrick Hogan asked if this is the same procedural template that Amazon uses at their other facilities. Brad Griggs stated this has been a standard process to date with the other IDA applications because of the confidentiality of the projects.
