Exhibit A

Memo To: Redevelopment Commission From: Mark Brinson Subject: Powerhouse Lease- Falling Watters, LLC Date: January 10, 2014 Falling Waters, LLC has submitted a proposal to the Redevelopment Commission to lease property adjacent to the millrace powerhouse. The company proposes to construct improvements that would allow for the operation of a small hydro-electric generating facility. A proposed lease was submitted to the Commission in 2013 for consideration, but no action was taken. Further consideration of the lease was tabled due to concerns expressed by Falling Waters related to the lease payments. The proposed lease established an escalating monthly lease that would cap at $2,000 per month. Falling Waters has proposed a modification to the lease that would base lease payments on 10% of the gross revenue received from the sale of electricity to Nipsco. Attached is a letter from Falling Waters giving further explanation to their request. This topic is included on the January agenda as a discussion item.

FALLING WATERS LLCNovember 05, 2013

Dear Mark;

Starting this missive I wish to remind one and all we are a startup company and as such we do not yet possessexperience for the equipment we intend to use, and have naught but the performance numbers supplied to us by themanufacturer's installations at numerous Europe sites. We do not expect any difference in function, but areuncomfortable committing to a substantial monthly rent payment in the face of so many uncertainties. Furthercomplications; flow rate in the canal is undetermined, nor does the city procured a commitment from ElkhartCounty Parks Department on the acre feet of water they will allow to the Goshen hydraulic canal now or in thefuture. These facts cause fungible numbers leaving us to hope for the best, and these numbers are in our pro­forma. We expect to spend upwards of $300,000 in engineering fees, for which we pray the TIF District will decideto make a contribution in consideration of the TIF's return in tax and rent payments, for this $3m installation. Theengineering must be completed before we present our requests to ACOE, DNR, FERC, USDA, and others forpermitting, funding etc. It should be noted as we discussed previously working with these agencies may take from3-5 years.

1. In lieu of a fixed monthly payment to Goshen we propose to pay 10% of our monthly gross income fromthe sale of electricity to NIPSCO from the first disbursement from NIPSCO, continuing with everypayment received thereafter until such time as lease is terminated in accordance with the provisions of thelease agreement. In achieving this we present you with two different suggestions:

a. NIPSCO pays FWLLC who then pays Goshen the rental payment of 10% with the right to auditNIPSCO payments FWLLC receives

b. We suspect NIPSCO will need the electrical production agreement in Goshen's name, NIPSCOpays Goshen, City Treasurer shall deduct the city's 10%, remaindering the balance to FWLLC

2. TERM: Starting December 01, 2013 with a payment of $125.00 to Goshen upon mutual execution of leaseagreement and Goshen's approval of FWLLC's proposed improvement plans, and said lease shall be filedwith the County Recorder as a Public Notice of the Goshen lien

3. INSURANCE: FWLLC shall have insurance in place before the commencement of any on siteconstruction work such as excavation, installation, etc.

Another issue continuously being brought forth is what happens if we are unsuccessful and the equipmentremains behind in the canal bed along with the new ancillary building on the baole In the forty three years I havebeen in business I have never seen a "what happens" contained in a lease. So I do not know how one would injectsuch a statement that in my mind is detrimental to the lender's comprehension of our business plan and lease whenthe lease contains the potential for failure to our landlord within our executed lease, nonsensical. Here to the bestof my knowledge is what could happen if we defaulted on our business loan; the lender would foreclose on ourbusiness loan thereby taking ownership of the installed equipment; lender then presents demand to USDA forreimbursement of 80% of loan amount. At reimbursement USD owns the equipment and probably delivers toGSA to dispose. GSA then lists it for sale and a buyer buys at the best price after meeting with you to discuss thelease and canal flow, etc., buyer may possibly pull equipment and move to a more viable location for these turbinesare in short supply. A scrapper may purchase, scrapping equipment and removing under terms of recorded lease.Follows the last updated lease of 8/15 with our comments in the balloons. Some comments now conflict with thisletter, questions arise please contact me.

Memorandum  

  

To: Redevelopment Commission From: Becky Hershberger Date: January 14, 2014 RE: Permission to Conduct Supplemental Phase II Investigations at 214 W. Jefferson Street –

Hawks Building

We are requesting permission from the Commission to utilize our USEPA assessment grant to fund supplemental sampling for the Hawks property.

In 2008-2009, we completed assessment activities on this property and discovered a groundwater plume of PCE at the northern end of the parcel. The source for the contamination has been identified as the former dry cleaning facility at the northeast corner of 3rd and Jefferson and they are working with IDEM to develop a plan for cleanup but it will take years before the remediation activities are complete. In the meantime, the plume continues to impact our property and is causing concern for the equity investors working with LaCasa on the residential redevelopment project. Our previous sampling indicated that there are no groundwater impacts at the south end of the existing Hawks property but our data does not show how far south the plume does extend. Our intent with the requested supplemental assessment is to conduct sampling at six (6) locations around the building to further evaluate groundwater, soil and soil gas. Provided the data comes back as we expect and shows that the southern portion of the building planned for residential is not impacted by the plume, LaCasa will receive a Comfort Letter from the Indiana Brownfield Program (IBP) that does not list the plume as a Recognized Environmental Concern (REC). Without the additional sampling, it will have to be noted as a concern in the letter.

SME has provided a not-to-exceed cost of $19,600 to complete the sampling for this site. A map depicting the sampling locations is attached and we have discussed this plan with both the USEPA and the IBP and they agree with the plan.

We are requesting that the Commission approve this request which will be utilizing our USEPA assessment grant funds.

Memorandum  

  

To: Redevelopment Commission From: Becky Hershberger Date: January 14, 2014 RE: Permission to Conduct Phase II Investigations at 718 E. Lincoln Avenue

We are requesting permission from the Commission to utilize our USEPA assessment grant to fund a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property at 718 E. Lincoln Avenue. The property has historically been residential. However, it is located within close proximity to the salvage yard at 828 E. Lincoln Avenue and is being considered as a potential site for the retention pond planned to address the drainage problems along Steury Avenue. The intent of the sampling would be to confirm that there is no contamination migrating to this site from the adjacent sites. The Phase I ESA that was recently conducted identified the need for limited sampling.

SME has provided a not-to-exceed cost of $14,600 to complete the sampling for this site. The cost includes 4 borings along the eastern edge of the site and will evaluate contamination based on run-off from adjacent properties as well as potential groundwater impacts. A map depicting the sampling locations is attached and the property owner has agreed to provide access to all locations to facilitate the work. There is currently a purchase agreement in place. However, the City will not complete property acquisition until this work is completed.

We are requesting that the Commission approve this request which will be utilizing our USEPA assessment grant funds.

January 2014 Redevelopment Report  

To: Redevelopment Commission

Date: January 14, 2014

1. Hawks Furniture Building Status Both LaCasa and the Redevelopment Commission have obligations under the purchase agreement that must be met prior to closing as well as obligations that must be met after closing:

Commission Obligations (to be completed)

Prior to Closing • Demolish the non-historic sections of the building and complete the environmental remediation under

those sections of the building. The planned partial demolition and remediation project for this site is now complete. LaCasa’s equity investors, however, have concerns regarding the PCE plume that exists at the north end of the parcel. We are requesting permission from the Commission at this month’s meeting to conduct supplemental sampling around the building to further define the extent of the plume. The gathered data will be reflected in the Comfort Letter issued by the Indiana Brownfields Program prior to transfer of the site to LaCasa in March 2014. The sampling plan has been reviewed by both the EPA and IBP and both are on board with the City’s approach to further delineation.

Post-Closing • Extend water and sewer lines • Convert alley into a street • Complete the environmental remediation along the canal bank (to occur after demolition) – Complete • Construct a public parking lot with 20 spaces • Move the utility lines on the west side of the alley • Construct a pedestrian path along the canal

LaCasa Obligations (to be completed)

Prior to Closing • Obtain funding commitments - Complete

Post-Closing • Complete building exterior, phase one interior (35 apartments) and site improvements

The only item remaining to be completed is the receipt of environment closure documents from IDEM. It is expected that this will occur in December which will allow for a closing before December 31, 2013.

2. South Link Road Project

January, 2014 Redevelopment Report

2

The South Link Road project from SR 15 to Regent Street is progressing on schedule. We anticipate construction in 2016, which will be funded with 80% Federal STP funds and 20% local funds. The total construction costs are $9,455,003.00. The city has received $7,446,677.00 in Federal STP funds to utilize during the construction phase of the project. The City will be responsible for $3,487,978.00.

JPR is under contract to complete the design and manage all of the right-of-way acquisition.

3. Native Landscaping Project Maintenance We recently met with Parks Department staff to discuss future maintenance needs for the native landscaping projects that have been completed by the Redevelopment Commission in the last few years. These areas include US 33 – Phase I and II, the former NIPSCO site and the canal bank areas. Parks Department will be adding staff during 2014 and will have the capacity to assist with the maintenance. However, we intend to issue a Request for Proposals to qualified firms to assist in training for the proper care for these areas for the upcoming year. We hope to be bringing the proposals to the Commission early next year.

Phase III of the US 33 project has been designed by JPR but we plan to get all other areas under control and established prior to proceeding with that project.

4. USEPA Assessment Grant & Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grant Awards The City has received a community-wide assessment grant ($400,000) and a revolving loan fund (RLF) grant ($1,000,000) to be used for remediation projects from the USEPA. Both sources of funding will be used for sites throughout Goshen and will allow for collaboration with local businesses and developers to facilitate redevelopment projects.

For our assessment grant, we are working on Phase I’s for 902/904 Chicago Avenue and 630 Lincolnway East. Phase I’s have been completed for 310 S. 3rd Street, 215 Pleasant Street, 718 E. Lincoln Avenue and 808/810 Logan Street. We have also completed Phase II work at 828 E. Lincoln Avenue, 216 S. Main Street, 310 S. 3rd Street and the former Omnisource property. We have completed additional sampling at Site 7, as well, to gather the data necessary for closure with the Matthews development and are in the process of scheduling sampling activities at 215 Pleasant Ave. We are requesting permission from the Commission to complete Phase II sampling on Logan Street, 718 E. Lincoln Avenue and at the Hawks property at this month’s meeting. A few other prospective projects are under way and we will be bringing more information to the Commission as the official requests come in.

We met with our consultants for the RLF grant in early July to discuss potential projects and ideas for the available funding. We identified a few potential projects and have posed various questions to the USEPA looking at different ways we can utilize the funds to allow for the City to receive the best benefit from the grant.

5. Goshen Theater The next phase of the project will be to conduct a capital campaign feasibility study. This task will include interviews with potential donors and the evaluation of using Historic Tax Credits and New Market Tax Credits as innovative financing tools. This study has been funded, a consultant has been selected and it will be completed in the first quarter of 2014.

An application has been filed with the IRS to create a new 501 (C) (3) not-for-profit corporation called Goshen Theater, Inc. This new entity has been established to acquire the property and allow donors to make tax deductible donations to the renovation project, provided the capital campaign feasibility study produces favorable results.

January, 2014 Redevelopment Report

3

The Goshen Fire Department recently inspected the fire escape on the south end of the building and determined that it could no longer be used due to deterioration of the structure. The result is that the ballroom on the third floor cannot be used until the fire escape is replaced. Goshen Theater Inc. is in the process of seeking funds to complete this project.

6. Canal Road Construction Current plans call for a two-way street approximately 16 feet wide so as to keep speeds low and discourage cut-through traffic. The design will be completed by the Goshen Engineering Department. Construction is planned for 2014. The project area will extend from Douglas to Jefferson.

7. NIPSCO Building The Redevelopment Commission approved a lease/purchase agreement with the Goshen Brewing Company to convert the Nipsco building into a brew pub. The tenant will take possession of the building in November and should complete construction in the first quarter of 2014. The facility should be open to the public by May of next year.

8. Northwest Bike Connector The Northwest Bike Connector route will connect the northwest Goshen neighborhoods to the US 33 Commercial district. It extends west along Bashor Road from US 33 to CR 17 and then north to the Sam’s Club parking lot. The first phase of the bike path along Bashor Road has been constructed and the second phase is now being designed.

The Goshen Engineering Department has received a commitment for federal matching funds for this project. A RFP for a design services was issued and proposals DLZ was selected as the project consultant. Construction is expected to begin in 2015.

9. 324 South 5th Street In April, 324 South 5th Street was transferred from the Board of Works to the Redevelopment Commission. The purpose of the property transfer was to allow the Commission to offer the property for sale or lease. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was approved by the Commission and has been issued. As of the initial due date, no proposals have been received.

This property is not actively being marketed at this time. Based on discussions with the Redevelopment Commission, staff will wait until a formal decision is made on the US 33 relocation project before transferring this property to a new owner.

10. Mill Race Townhomes and Flats The Redevelopment Commission has approved a development agreement with developer David Mathews to construct townhomes along the millrace. Approximately 25 townhomes and flats will be constructed on the parcel situated north of Purl and south of Madison. Under the terms of the agreement, the Redevelopment Commission will reconstruct the north/south alley on the eastern edge of the site, install new water and sewer mains and construct a public street between the townhome development and the millrace.

city will be responsible for reconstructing the alley from Purl to Douglas and extending sewer and water mains to the site. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2014.

12. Downtown Vault Repairs The Commission has approved $60,000 to fund the Downtown Vault Closure Program. The purpose of this program is to provide matching funds to close vaults located under sidewalks in the central business district. A total of 24 vaults were found to be in need of repair.

To date this program has funded vault closures at the following locations:

• 209 South Main (John Hall’s)

• 106 North Main (RC3 Realty)

• 227 S Main (Dew Drop Inn)

• 110 E Lincoln (Mervin Schrock)

• 101 S. Main (1st Source Bank)

• 115½ South Main (John Davis)

• 218 N. Main (Cuauhtemoc Perez)

• 122 S. Main Street (Gutierrez Mexican Restaurant)

• 120 S. Main Street (Sorg)

In addition, there were 47 properties where it could not be determined whether vaults existed because no access was available from the interior of the building. To conclude if additional vaults exist, it was necessary to use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to check for voids under the sidewalk. The GPR survey has been completed and a report on the results was presented at the August meeting. Preliminary findings indicated that there were additional open vaults in the downtown that were not discovered during the initial survey. However, upon further investigation it has been concluded that there is only one additional vault on East Lincoln that needs to be filled. Since this particular vault is not accessible from the adjoining property, the property owner will not be responsible for making the repairs. The Commission has authorized staff to fund these repairs out of the remaining funds that were allocated to the Vault Closure Program.

13. Powerhouse Proposal

The Commission has requested proposals to lease the Powerhouse. A proposal from Falling Waters, LLC was received in December and is currently being reviewed by City staff. The Commission has tabled this proposal and will take action at a future date.

14. Kercher Road Retention Area The Engineering Department is in the process of developing a plan for a stormwater retention area on the north side of Kercher Road, just east of the railroad tracks. This project will address some of the flooding problems in the Goshen Industrial Park.

The City has secured right-of-entry onto several of the properties and has begun conducting soil borings to determine the height of the water table and the type of soil conditions present in this area. Once these factors

are determined, a design for the retention area will be completed by the Engineering Department. Property acquisition is now complete.

15. Railroad Curve Realignment, Safety Improvements & Quiet Zone The Commission approved a contract with American Structurepoint earlier this year to begin looking at the feasibility of creating a quiet zone along Norfolk Southern’ s north/south line adjacent to 9th Street. This project was highly desired by the participants in the 9th Street Corridor planning project. The timing of the North Connector Route for US 33 and the curve realignment at the north end of the tracks seem to be aligning with the timing of implementation of the quiet zone. We met with the corridor business owners on the 9th and held a Corridor Steering Committee meeting on August 14th to present Structurepoint’s early findings. We also met with a few of the residents of the East Lincoln Crossroads neighborhood in late September to discuss the potential future projects and impacts that would affect their neighborhood. This is a project that will be discussed in much greater detail in the coming months as more information is gathered.
