The applicant, Mr. Thomas Rodocker, explained that they would not be averse to getting a third
party bid. The business has yet to occupy the space and a lot ofinterior code updates needed to
take place before they could be granted occupancy. Commissioner Bailey explained that he was
only concerned about transparency. Commissioner Amoroso asked about the projects
timeframe. Mr. Rodocker stated that they had planned on occupied the space within 6 months.
CommissÍoner Hopkins asked which facades would be painted. Mr. Rodocker stated that the
north and east facades would be painted.
Commissioner Hopkins moved to table the grant discussion until December 13 so the

West reminded the Commission that they could approve the grant application with
conditions for a third parfy estimate. The motion did not carry.

works with replacing existing signage. The signage was new, and therefore not eligible.
