BACKGROUND SLS COMMUNITY: Founded by Ashton and Betts McCombs in 2016, SLS Community is a non-profit organization with the vision and plan to create a community of vocational, residential, and clinical resources that will improve the lives of neurodiverse residents and their families. The City of Fayetteville was first introduced to this project over five years ago when it was still in its nascent stage. This vision was borne out of the McCombs' experience caring for their daughter Anna who was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at an early age and is now an adult. In 2019, South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC, an independent, privately -owned impact partner of SLS Community, Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 acquired the 230-acre parcel north of Kessler Mountain Regional Park to serve as the home of SLS Community. In 2020, the organization received a letter of intent from the Psychiatric Research Institute of UAMS, expressing its plans to build an outpatient, multi -specialty facility specially adapted for the needs of neurodiverse adults on the property that would serve as a center -of -excellence for neurodiverse care and research (the "UAMS Facility"). Following this significant advancement, a conceptual master plan was developed in 2021 with input from a wide range of impact partners, including City of Fayetteville Departments such as Development Services and Parks and Recreation (attachment 1). The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences also completed a conceptual master plan for the UAMS Facility during this same time (Attachment M). The SLS Community initiative will also honor the visionary behind this project and friend of the City: Ashton McCombs III whom we lost late last year. As both the SLS Community and the McCombs family have been navigating this challenging time, the SLS Community organization has continued to dedicate a high level of energy and resources to this project, with Ashton McCombs IV becoming the Executive Director of SLS Community. BACKGROUND COMMUNITY PROJECT FUND AWARD: Spring of 2021: Congressman Womack submitted a Community Project Fund request for infrastructure support for SLS Community and their impact partners, the University of Arkansas for Medical Science and South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC. On March 8, 2022, President Biden signed the Federal Budget, which included a $3M Community Project Fund award for the City of Fayetteville. March 22, 2022: City staff notified the City Council that the City had received a Community Project Fund award from Congressman Womack and provided expanded background information and details on the project, SLS Community, and South Cato Springs Holdings (attachment n). Additionally, a webpage was built to keep the public informed of this project: www.Favetteville-AR.gov/4107. July 26, 2022: Mayor Jordan receives award notification letter from Deputy Assistant Secretary Robin Keegan with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The letter outlined next steps and requirements for the City of Fayetteville to proceed with review of the proposed project. August 2022: City staff attends a series of online trainings with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development pertaining to administering and implementing the Community Project Fund award. September 2022: City staff and SLS Community Executive Director provide an update to the City Council during the September 27, 2022 City Council Agenda Session. Staff submits required Federal forms and detailed project descriptions immediately following the City Council update (Attachment C). November 2022: Grant B-22-CP-AR-0016 Agreement recieved for $3,000,000, staff submits item for City Council review and consideration (Attachment B). DISCUSSION: SLS Community and South Cato Springs represent a unique Economic Vitality project in Fayetteville. Grounded in a model that utilizes impact partners to support the mission of the non- profit, SLS Community, this project represents a remarkable opportunity for equitable and inclusive economic development for a population in need. Beyond the benefits to the mission of SLS Community, this project's residential, commercial, employment, and placemaking components bring significant benefits to the City of Fayetteville. The conceptual land plan shows intention with ensuring the neurodiverse community have meaningful interactions with patrons, visitors, and residents of the site. It respects and addresses Kessler Mountain Regional Park, with a mix of open spaces and natural areas throughout the property, presenting a development pattern far less dense than the former South Pass Planned Zoning District. The following section provides expanded details on each of the unique components for this project. Collectively, they represent an opportunity that is so uniquely Fayetteville. SLS Community and South Cato Springs: SLS Community is a non-profit grounded in the mission to support lifelong success for neurodiverse adults and their families by making essential resources accessible to all. SLS Community is grounded on a collective impact model and collaborates with impact partners to connect residential, vocational, recreational, health and wellness, and clinical resources. The outcome of these efforts will be the creation of opportunities for neurodiverse adults to interact meaningfully with the broader community- finding their own path to self -actualization. Self - actualization is the concept that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves the opportunity and resources to explore and develop their innate gifts and interests to reach their full potential. Their goal extends beyond the City of Fayetteville, developing a replicable model that can be replicated across the country. SLS Community will be locating their headquarters on the property thanks in large part to impact partners such as South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC. The South Cato Springs project abuts Kessler Mountain Regional Park to the north and front's Cato Springs road to the east. The master plan for the project intentionally integrates commercial, residential, cultural, educational, and entertainment components that promote a healthy lifestyle and meaningful interaction between the neurodiverse and broader community (Attachment Q. Discussed further in the following section, the problems SLS Community is aiming to solve are complex. To address these issues, the South Cato Springs project is the platform for impact partners, such as UAMS, whose resources will be leveraged to help realize the goals of SLS Community. Problem Framing: Why does SLS Community exist? SLS Community exists to address the unique challenges facing neurodiverse adults and their families. • 1.3M neurodiverse adults live with family caregivers over the age of 60; • Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder have an unemployment rate of 85%; • Federal Supplemental Security income is $841/mo. per person, Arkansas is one of six states without a state supplement; • 30% of the homeless population have intellectual/development disabilities; • The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has stated that housing for neurodiverse is in the worst -case housing needs category; • The average wait time for a Medicaid waiver for an individual with developmental disability is 10-years; For additional information please review p. 4 of the `City Council Community Project Fund Notification Letter from March 2022' (Attachment O). Impact Partners: In addition to the land owner, South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC, two other impact partners will serve as anchors for the development: Phigenics. A growing water -tech company named Phigenics, LLC has committed to develop its new corporate headquarters on the land. R&D efforts at the new facility will focus on developing microbial, molecular, and viral diagnostics. Phigenics has been an early impact partner of SLS Community. Ashton McCombs was one of the founders of Phigenics and served as its President and CEO until his death. UAMS. SLS Community has also partnered with UAMS to develop and construct an outpatient medical facility on the property. Specialty medical services and allied therapeutic services will be provided to all patients, with special adaptations and accommodations for the special needs of the neurodiverse population. Other benefits of the UAMS medical facility include: • Provide access to primary and specialty care for neurodiverse adults; • A place for advancing science allowing these adults to live richer, meaningful lives; • A home to academic programs for educating the next generation of health professionals, caregivers, and researchers. Infrastructure Assistance: Following the acquisition of the land in 2019, SLS Community and South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC approached the City about the possibility of infrastructure assistance given the site lacked access to sanitary sewer and is bisected by a planned Master Street planned road. In early 2021 following a presentation of the conceptual Master Plan, SLS Community and South Cato 0 Springs Holdings, LLC formally requested infrastructure assistance. The Department of Economic Vitality and the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce began exploring various State and Federal avenues for assistance, ultimately securing the $3,000,000 Community Project Fund award to fully cover the cost of sanitary sewer to the property. To fund the access drive, staff is proposing to use a mix of Q6 Economic Development Bond funds ($2,000,000) and $1,480,000 in Street funds. Project Component Price Proposed Funding Source Sanitary Sewer Connection $2,937,738 HUD Community Project Fund SLS Community/Kessler Mountain Regional Park Access Drive $3,480,000 $2,000,000 Q6 Economic Development Bon $1,480,000 in Street Funds Total $6,417,738 Triple Bottom Line Benefits: Social: • True inclusion of neurodiverse residents with the broader community; • Incorporation of a network of soft surface hiking and biking trails throughout the property expanding trail opportunities for Kessler Mountain Regional Park patrons; • On -going discussion on utilizing South Cato Springs Holding's land for ball -field development to avoid cutting into the slope of Kessler Mountain again; • Lodging, accommodation, food services, and recreational support businesses for Kessler Mountain Regional Park. • As outlined in the Kessler Mountain Regional Park Master Plan, removal of the onsite sewer treatment plant allows for the development of another needed soccer/multipurpose field; • The public sewer connection will also allow for future expansion of other facilities at the park. Economic: • Estimated capital investment of over $238,000,000 throughout the entire site; • Headquarters of SLS Community and home to their residential, vocational, and clinical services; • Headquarters and Research and Development facilities of Phigenics, a national water quality company; • Neurodiverse job skill training, education, and employment opportunities across a range of industry sectors; • UAMS Facility with specialty and allied therapeutic services for all residents, with adaptations and accommodations for the neurodiverse population; • Significant sales tax revenue as the project develops (see attachment e); • Placing Kessler on Sewer removes the city's long-term maintenance of the individual sewer treatment plant currently serving the park • Staff note: This section will be expanded upon receipt of the Economic Impact Analysis. • Removal of the onsite sewer allows for development of another multi -purpose field that can be used to host tournaments and generate revenue for the city. Environmental: • Connection of Kessler Mountain Regional Park to sanitary sewer and removal of the current onsite septic system; Economic Development Project Agreement: Required by the Local Job Creation, Job Expansion, and Economic Development Act of 2017, the attached Economic Development Project contract outlines a series of milestones and provisions related to the funding of the access drive associated with the project (Attachment D). The key provisions of the contract include a series of project milestones that must be met by South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC (Section 4), including the securing of Certificates of Occupancy for both a healthcare facility and specialized technology employer within five years after the completion of the infrastructure. Staff felt it was necessary to extend this contract beyond a single year given the high level of economic uncertainty at the national level. The utilization of occupancy permits rather than Large Scale Development submittals represents a much more strict milestone. Lastly, the recapture amount proposed by staff is $890,000, with the rationale provided below. Described further in the chart below, both infrastructure projects provide benefit to the City of Fayetteville, which have been considered in the development of the recapture amount (Section 6). Recapture Agreement Justification/Exploration Access Drive Total Cost 3,480,000.00 City Sewer Benefit (1) $ (900,000.00) Kessler Regional Park Access Drive Benefit (2) $ (1,690,000.00) Recapture Amount (3) 890,000.00 (1) Estimate from Water and Sewer Department on what the cost would be for the City to connect Kessler Mountain Regional Park with Sewer without considering the South Cato Springs Property. The sanitary sewer connection unlocks three acres of programmable land currently being used as a leach field for the onsite septic system. The Kessler Mountain Regional Park Master Plan currently calls for Championship fields to be built in this location. These fields would enable the City of Fayetteville to compete for more tournaments across a range of sports. Additionally, expanding the onsite septic system as planned would erode the Great Lawn given the need to expand the leach field. The figure $900,000 is the cost of connecting Kessler Mountain Regional Park to sanitary sewer without taking the South Cato Springs property into consideration. (2) This figure represents 50% of the cost if the City was going to build a 20' secondary access drive to the park. This estimate was developed by Public Works in 2022. (Total estimate was $3,380,000) (3) The recapture amount represents the additional cost to the City for the development of the 30' cross section that enters the site off Cato Springs. Staff Note: The cost of the sewer ($3,000,000) is not being considered given no parties has a cost associated with this project. The City benefits from the grant, which would not have been received but for SLS Community and South Cato Springs project, which is why staff is attributing City benefit to the sewer. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: This resolution recognizes $3,000,000 in Federal Grant revenues from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to use $2,000,000 in Q6 Economic Development Bond funds as well as $1,480,000 in street funds.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Email: mayor@fayetteville-ar.gov Dear Mayor Jordan: In the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, (P.L. 117-103) (the Act), Congress made available "grants for the Economic Development Initiative for the purposes of Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending." These Community Project Funding (CPF) awards are administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Pursuant to the requirements associated with the Act, this Letter of Invitation (LOI) is an important step in the grant award process and outlines the grant award requirements and the information needed from you to prepare the Grant Agreement for execution. Once we receive and verify your information, we will send your Grant Agreement for signature. The information we received about your project in the Act's Joint Explanatory Statement (JES) is below. A Grant Number has been generated and will be the unique identifier for your project during the grant process. The Grant Number is noted below. Grantee: City of Fayetteville Project Description: Fayetteville Supporting Lifelong Success (SLS) Community Infrastructure Grant Amount: $3,000,000.00 Grant Number: B-22-CP-AR-0016 The next step is for you to provide 1) your organization's Authorized Representative, 2) a detailed project narrative, 3) a line -item budget, and 4) certain Federal forms. The detailed project narrative should capture the maximum anticipated scope of the proposal, not just a single activity that the CPF grant is going toward. It should include all contemplated actions that are part of the project. The line -item budget should identify the use of the CPF grant funds in context of the full project budget. The "FY2022 Community Project Funding Grant Guide" (CPF Grant Guide) provides instructions for completing the requested information and filling out the required administrative forms. The CPF Grant Guide also provides information on the appropriations -specific and cross -cutting Federal requirements that govern these funds. Links to the required forms are included in the Grant Guide as an attachement to this letter and on our website at this link: https://www.hud.goy/program offices/comm plannin /g edi- ants Upon receipt of your information, we will review the materials for consistency with the intent of Congress as set forth in the JES and prepare your Grant Agreement for signature. If there are questions about any of the information provided, the Department will notify you prior to issuing the Grant Agreement. Please note two important considerations regarding allowable costs: The first is that the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, prohibits CPF funds from being used to reimburse expenses incurred before the date the CPF Grant Agreement is executed. The second is that, in keeping with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and HUD's NEPA-implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 50 or 24 CFR Part 58, environmental reviews must be completed, and a Request for Release of Funds and Certification must be approved by HUD, as applicable, for all projects prior to taking any choice limiting actions.' This step is required to avoid violations under 24 CFR 58.22 which provides limitations on activities pending clearance, and Section 110(k) of the National Historic Preservation Act which prohibits anticipatory demolition or significant harm of historic properties prior to completion of the historic preservation review process known as Section 106 review. Examples of `choice limiting actions' include, but are not limited to, purchasing land, entering into contracts for property acquisition or construction, or physical work on the project. HUD has determined the federalization of CPF projects as the date of this Letter of Invitation. This is also referred to as the federal `nexus' date for environmental review for CPF projects. To prevent choice limiting actions from occurring, following issuance of this letter, you may not commit funds or take any actions (outside of existing contracts) until an environmental review is completed. Further explanation of choice limiting actions and the environmental review process, including historic preservation review, is included within the CPF Grant Guide. All information required for your grant award should be submitted via email to the dedicated mailbox at CPFGrantsnhud.gov. In transmitting your information, please copy and paste the bolded information as the subject line of your email: B-22-CP-AR-0016: City of Fayetteville: Submission of Required LOI Materials. If you or your staff have any questions regarding how to complete or submit the required documents or about your grant in general, please feel free to contact, Holly A.

ATTACHMENT C: City of Fayetteville HUD Project Submittal CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS CPF-B-22-CP-AR-0016 Supporting Lifelong Success Community Infrastructure Support Project Contact: Devin Howland Director of Economic Vitality 479.575.8221 DHowland@Fayetteville-ar.gov SLS Community Project Narrative CPF-B-22-CP-AR-0016 Narrative for Full SLS Community Infrastructure Project Mayor Lioneld Jordan is preparing an infrastructure package to support the development of Supporting Lifelong Success Community (SLS) and their impact partners South Cato Springs Holding's LLC and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). The infrastructure package and acceptance of the $3,000,000 CPF award will be considered by the Fayetteville City Council upon receipt of a grant agreement from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for CPF-B-22-CP-AR-0016. The project connects SLS Community and their impact partners with critical infrastructure needed to proceed with construction of their facilities and delivery of services to neurodiverse residents, their families, and the broader community. Critical infrastructure includes a sanitary sewer connection to the project site (Exhibit C) which is comprised of 5,000 feet of sewer force main, 3,400 feet of new gravity lines, and 2,000 feet of sewer line enlargement. The sanitary sewer connection is the portion of the project proposed to be funded by the Community Project Fund award, with an estimated cost of $2,937,783. The other infrastructure component includes the construction of approximately 3,500 of road way (Exhibit B) to provide access the property. The road way is composed of two different cross sections: a 30' access drive and a 20' access drive, with a total estimated cost of $3,480,000. The SLS Community initiative is one of the most significant and inclusive economic development projects to ever come to Fayetteville. Beyond these benefits, the infrastructure that serves the project also provides a sanitary sewer to Kessler Mountain Regional Park and a secondary access point to the park enhancing the safety of participants and park users. Narrative for Community Project Fund Portion of SLS Community Infrastructure Project The City intends to use the Community Project Funds received for infrastructure improvements to serve City facilities and SLS Community in the area of Cato Springs Road and Judge Cummings Road in southwest Fayetteville. The improvements enable SLS Community and other impact partners such as the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and South Cato Holding's LLC to begin development of a holistic community centered around bettering the lives of neurodiverse residents and their families. Infrastructure improvements for the Community Project Fund portion may include sewer gravity lines and force main lines, improvements to existing streets, and new street connections with associated sidewalks, storm drainage, and other appurtenances. Approximately 5,000 feet of sewer force main, 3,400 feet of new gravity line, and 2,000 feet of sewer line enlargement. It is expected that the sewer project will utilize all of the CPF funds; any excess funds will be used for the construction of approximately 3,500 feet of street connections within the project area. The funding of the infrastructure package and acceptance of the $3,000,000 CPF award will be considered by the Fayetteville City Council upon receipt of a grant agreement from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for CPF-B-22-CP-AR-0016. CPF-B-22-CP-AR-0016 Project Narrative and Budget p.1 SLS Community Project Narrative CPF-B-22-CP-AR-0016 About SLS Community and their Impact Partners SLS Community is a Fayetteville founded non-profit grounded in the mission of supporting lifelong success for neurodiverse adults and their families by making essential resources accessible to all. It will create opportunities for neurodiverse adults to flourish, interact meaningfully with the broader community and find their own paths to self -actualization. SLS is planning a community in South Fayetteville that provides clinical, educational, residential and employment opportunities for neurodiverse residents and their families. You can learn more about SLS Community by visiting its website: SLSCommunity.org. SLS Community has adopted a collective impact model in order to combine resources from impact partners to solve the complex social problems experienced by neurodiverse adults. Its goal is to orchestrate this effort with its impact partners, including government, private enterprises, universities and philanthropic groups. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has partnered with SLS Community develop an on -site Genomic Clinic, including specialty medical services and allied therapeutic services for all residents, with special adaptations for neurodiverse residents.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates 2.21 person per household for the City of Fayetteville (2019)1. • Market Value: Staff utilizes property tax collections on similar properties/businesses in Fayetteville to estimate the market value for various buildings and businesses2. The market value assumption includes a combined valuation of the building and land within its parcel. • Internet Sales from residential living units: In 2021 staff estimated the average internet sales per housing unit by totaling all sales in NAICS Code 454110 `Electronic Shopping and Mail -Order' and dividing it by the number of residential units in the City3. This averaged $3,500 per residential unit'. • Restaurant Sales Per Foot: Staff uses the estimate of $350 in annual sales per square foot of the restaurants. This figure is used to define a `high profit' restaurant in the accommodation and food services industry. Some restaurants produce more than this and some produce less. Restaurants in Fayetteville totaled $304 million in sales in 20196. Retail Sales Per Foot: Staff uses CoStar data to estimate sales per square foot for brick and mortar retail establishments. CoStar is the largest commercial real estate listing firm in the United States. CoStar focuses of listings and market analytics for commercial real- estate. $325 in retail sales per square foot is an estimate derived from CoStar'. The City of Fayetteville has exceeded the national average for retail sales per square foot in the past, with retail (NAICS 44-45) sales totaling $1.5 billion in 2020. Office Employee Spending: This item is an estimate of weekly spending by full time office/medical employee on the site. Staff utilized the 2012 study by the International Council of Shopping Centers Office -Worker Retail Spending in the Digital Age. Using the 2011 figures from the estimate of $150-160 in spend per week', inflation was estimated to 2020 dollars using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI Inflation Calculator, which equates to $180 per week in spending'. https://www.census.-gov/quickfacts/favettevilIecityarkansas 2 https://www.actdatascout.com/RealProl)erty The Department of Economic Vitality uses similar properties to hypothetical properties in the assessments to establish market value. 3 https://www.ark.oro/dfa/localtaxes/index.php The Department of Economic Vitality utilizes DFA data to calculate true sales by NAICS code in the City of Fayetteville. NAICS codes are classifications of businesses within the North American Industrial Classification System. 4 In 2019, NAICS code 454110 totaled $71 million in taxable sales. In 2020 from January to November, this sector totaled $110 million in taxable sales and continues to climb at a healthy rate. The average per residence is estimated by dividing the total sales figures by an estimate of residential living units in Fayetteville ($3, 500 per household). 5 /CSC `The Successful Integration of Food and Beverage Within Retail Real Estate'. p. 37 `Sales productivity per square foot'. s https://www.ark.org/dfa/localtaxes/index.php The Department of Economic Vitality utilizes DFA data to calculate true sales by NAICS code in the City of Fayetteville.

The actual project gap and total cost of the project will not be known until more detailed engineering and design is completed. The City's Public Works Director has advised that detailed engineering and design begin as soon for the true project total to be identified and value engineering be able to take place. Project Specifics Total cost for entry road and sewer connection to Kessler $7,890,000 Federal Support $3,000,000 Initial City funding allocated to the project $2,000,000 Project funding gap pre -cost inflation $900,000 Current project funding a $2,890,000 Staff estimates that recapture of municipal investment ($4.4M) would take place during the onset of construction of phase three of the development, roughly 30 months after the completion of municipal infrastructure (the analysis can be found on p. 12). After one full year of operation, the site will provide the City of Fayetteville with net profit of $5.8M and produce annual revenue of at least $3.2M every year thereafter. The Department of Economic Vitality feels this estimate is grossly conservative for the 230-acre site, primarily due to the lack of housing density for single family homes, townhomes, duplexes and triplexes. Presently, the programing document that accompanies the master plan shows 40 single family homes and 45 townhouses, duplexes, and triplexes. The zoning districts of LIT, CS, and NC afford the property owner residential density that greatly exceeds the figures outlined in the programing document. Increased residential density would not only greatly increase municipal revenue it can also enable the site to develop more sensitively when it comes to the environment. Lastly, the City's investment will be protected by a `Recapture Provision' a requirement of the Local Economic Development Enhancement Act. The structure of the provision will rest on the delivery on several occupancy permits, ensuring that primary anchor tenants not only commit to the property but also complete construction of their respective facilities within five years of sanitary sewer connecting to Kessler Regional Park, and a preliminary road connection to Judge Cummings Drive . Given increased size of this municipal investment, this recapture provision is far more strict than those used for the two railroad crossings in north Fayetteville. Staff Note on Report: This report is focused solely on direct municipal revenue from the South Cato Holdings project. It does not explore induced and indirect economic benefits, social benefits such as enabling neurodiverse residents to achieve self -actualization, or environmental benefits from connecting Kessler Regional Park and the land fill to sanitary sewer. p. 3 South Cato Holdings, LLC Infrastructure Incentive Analysis November 29, 2021 Constants: The tables below outline the variables used when assessing the projects economic impact. As with previous economic impact analyses performed by the Department of Economic Vitality (Drake Farms Phase 1 and River Pointe LLC), the variables were applied in the same manner with the only exception being a focus on adjusting for inflation given increases in building materials and cost of goods sold. The economic constants are aggregated by the Department of Economic Vitality to ensure consistent application across all projects. The South Cato Holdings constants were derived from the programming document that accompanies the South Cato Springs Master Plan.

I am the co-founder of SLS Community and the wife of Ashton McCombs III. This project is grounded in our personal experience with our daughter, Anna, who is on the autism spectrum with severe behavior. Along our journey with Anna, we met many families in the same struggle to find access to services and a supportive environment where their loved one can thrive. SLS Community seeks to be a part of the growing movement to change the current paradigm of services, opportunities, and inclusion for those with neurodivergent conditions. We are devoted with many incredible partners to building on the groundwork Ashton laid and making the family's dream for Anna and others a reality for many. Our vision is a "live, work, play" community with the requisite resources and services for neurodiverse adults to reach their full potential. This includes capacity for those individuals with high intervention needs for severe behavior that can be hardest to place. Like everyone, neurodiverse individuals seek to lead full lives, and deserve access to community, employment, housing options, recreation, health resources, and support services. Our goal is to orchestrate this effort through collaborative relationships with our "impact partners". This infrastructure funding is an important catalyst for the combined SLS Community/South Cato Springs project. We believe this project, once actualized, will reap substantial quality -of -life, economic, and social dividends for the neurodiverse population and many others in NWA. Thank you very much for recognizing the importance of this mission and your leadership. We seek to produce a model that is a jewel for Arkansas, and replicable in other parts of the country. As the tide of Northwest Arkansas continues to rise, our mission is to help ensure that those with the greatest need are brought along.

South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC and SLS Community have worked closely together on our planned mixed -use development that is grounded in the non -profit's mission: to create opportunities for neurodiverse adults to flourish, interact meaningfully with the broader community, and find their own path to self -actualization. To this end, we have collaborated with architects, engineers, clinical experts, the business community, and the City of Fayetteville on a master plan for a development that not only addresses the needs of this neurodiverse population, but also becomes a stage that promotes positive everyday interactions between the neurodiverse and broader population. We are proud to be an impact partner of SLS Community and part of a community that is receptive to these ambitious goals. Thank you for considering this infrastructure funding which will be an essential piece in activating the project. Sincerely, Matthew R. 5aras Office of Chancellor 4301 W.

This development, on land near Kessler Mountain Regional Park, will support neurodiverse adults in their journey to fulfillment and self -actualization. To enable this project, SLS Community will need your support. Years ago, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) opened a clinic to serve patients with these kinds of challenging behavioral conditions. More recently, we started a similar clinic on our Northwest Campus in Fayetteville, with our specialists seeing patients every two weeks. Much of the inspiration to open a clinic in Northwest Arkansas came as we got acquainted with the McCombs family, who founded the SLS Community. Betts and the late Ashton McCombs were inspired to start SLS Community as a way to assemble the specialized types of resources that would allow neurodiverse adults, such as their daughter Anna, a young adult who requires intense support to manage her behavioral and physical health. Their vision for this development is a community that would include housing, employment, recreation and on -site services to promote the physical and mental wellbeing of the neurodiverse. Based on the McCombs' vision for this project, UAMS joined with them to convene an advisory group of national and international neurodiversity experts. The group included parents of neurodiverse children and adults, along with clinicians and researchers focused on a planned clinic for the project and how it could be most impactful to those its patients. The advisory group offered suggestions around infrastructure, design considerations and ways the clinic could dramatically improve the life experiences for neurodiverse individuals in a holistic manner, complementing to the entire development. This shared vision included attention to these individuals' medical, neuro-psychiatric, nutritional, recreational, social, training and employment, and spiritual needs. Page 2 Letter of Support — SLS Community 11-10-2022 I am thrilled that the SLS Community's plan is moving forward. This unique project will serve and improve the lives of individuals from all over Arkansas and beyond. UAMS will continue to be a supporter and champion for it. While the SLS Community's vision is achievable, it will need your help. Specifically, we are hopeful the city will provide support for land development at the site. I ask you to support the SLS Community in this endeavor. If I can provide any additional information in support of this project, please let me know.

This project will be a game -changer for neurodiverse adults, who suffer life-long challenges in employment and engagement. In addition, the integrated approach being undertaken engages the largest healthcare, real estate development, and entrepreneurial support organizations in the State to help drive an unprecedented public -private partnership. This SLS project will have significant impacts on the overall quality of life in Northwest Arkansas, not just for the neurodiverse, but for the entire community. Startup Junkie Consulting has been an active partner in promoting and supporting the SLS project since inception. Startup Junkie supports, inspires, and educates entrepreneurs and innovators by providing no -cost, one-on-one consulting; events, workshops and programs; and access to capital and talent. We remove barriers for historically underserved populations by democratizing access to entrepreneurial resources and providing strategic support to any individuals seeking to establish or grow their business. Our robust team is equipped to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey including but not limited to venture finance, commercial finance and crowdfunding. We work with over 1000 entrepreneurs each year across multiple disciplines. I also have run several early -stage funds and have an investment portfolio of over 90 ventures with some substantial exits. The SLS project expands access to employment and entrepreneurship to a neurodiverse community largely overlooked historically. This SLS team has continuously demonstrated commitment, passion, and willingness to make this needed organization and infrastructure a reality. Startup Junkie Consulting will continue to support the SLS team as they launch and expand their capabilities. The requested infrastructure match funding is absolutely crucial for the impact of the SLS Community to be fully realized.

Mountain St. Fayetteville, AR 72701 Dear Mayor Jordan and City Council, November 16th, 2022 It is rare for a project to come before us that has such a profound impact on our City. The SLS Community project is a symbol of hope and the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of countless families. I have had the honor of being in the life of many individuals who would be touched by this development, and I know all too well the need for this in our community. It truly speaks to the character and goodwill of Fayetteville and its collaborators, and the partnerships created will be immortalized in the very fabric of our City. We have an opportunity to reshape what it means to deliver community and healthcare services. This project will be an example for all to see that we can always become more inclusive, more supportive, and better equipped to meet the modern needs of the families of the neurodiverse. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will provide a new heart and soul to Fayetteville, supplementing the amazing growth we are already experiencing. This will ensure that through all that growth, we continue to focus on providing services to those most in need. The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce is in complete support of the SLS Community project. We urge the community and our leaders to rally behind the staff and officials behind this project and thank them for bringing us to where we are now. The Chamber specifically thanks the McComb's Family, Matthew Zakaras, Devin Howland and the City of Fayetteville Staff for the heart and vision to see this through.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Dear Council, Notice of receipt of a Community Project Fund Award: Starting in 2017, the City of Fayetteville administration became aware of the potential to attract a new economic development project. The City began working with Ashton and Betts McCombs, founders of the non-profit SLS Community, on planning for a large-scale development that would seek to address the issue of a lack of community resources, infrastructure, and 215t century vocational opportunities aimed at serving neurodiverse individuals and their families. The project is comprised of several different impact partners including UAMS, the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce, and Phigenics. In April of 2021, Mayor Jordan sent a letter to Congressman Womack requesting support for a $15 million Federal Community Project Fund Award to build infrastructure needed to support the property identified for the project. The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce has also been instrumental in securing this award from Congress. Referenced in his letter, Mayor outlined a proposed match of $2 million that he plans to bring to the City Council for review and consideration (proposing to use Q6 Bond Economic Development Funds). Question 6 of Fayetteville's 2019 Bond Program is Economic Development. As you've read in the news, the Federal Budget finally passed on March 8, 2022. On March 9, 2022, we were notified that the City of Fayetteville would receive a $3 million Federal award. The acceptance of this award will be brought before you for your review and consideration this year. Given cost escalation in construction as inflation challenges continue, City staff is currently in the process of refining infrastructure project costs to reflect current pricing. The Administration wants to provide you with an update on (i) the City's collaboration with a local non-profit SLS Community charged with improving the lives of neurodiverse adults and (ii) a related development project called South Cato Springs located just north of Kessler Regional Park. SLS Community and this project were included in the Mayor's State of the City address in January, and were also part of US Congressman Steve Womack's recent press release on infrastructure projects in his district that were awarded federal funding as part of the recently passed federal spending bill. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Representatives from SLS Community would like the opportunity to meet with each member of the City Council to share the SLS Community story, their plans, next steps for the project as well as solicit feedback from you on ways to improve their project. These meetings will be held on the property where SLS will locate and include representatives from UAMS. The City's Department of Economic Vitality will be reaching out to you to coordinate these meetings in the coming weeks. Background on SLS Community Founded by Ashton and Betts McCombs in 2016, SLS Community is a non-profit organization with the vision and plan to create a community of vocational, residential, and clinical resources that will improve the lives of neurodiverse residents and their families. The vision of SLS Community was borne out of the McCombs' experience in caring for their daughter Anna who was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at an early age and is now an adult. The Administration first met Ashton five years ago when SLS Community was still in its nascent stage. On June 4, 2018, Ashton McCombs gave a presentation about the SLS Community to the Town and Gown Committee. Progress on the SLS Community project has also been referenced in several of the City's Economic Vitality Contract partners monthly reports. During the City Council Meeting on February 2, 2021, the project was discussed during the Entrepreneurial Contract Services renewal (2021-0020). Most recently, Mayor Jordan announced in his 2022 State of the Citv Address: "This year, you will hear more about a new project in Fayetteville that I'm really excited about. SLS Community and South Cato Springs LLC are creating a community of vocational, residential and clinical resources that will help improve the lives of neurodiverse residents and their families. I believe this will be one of the most significant economic and community development projects ever to come to Fayetteville." Mayor Jordan, January 25, 2022 Grounded on a collaborative model which leverages the resources of impact partners, SLS Community will create opportunities for neurodiverse adults to interact meaningfully within the broader community, flourish and find their own paths to self -actualization. The SLS Community initiative will also honor the visionary behind this project and friend of the City, Ashton McComb's III whom we lost late last year. As both the SLS Community and the McComb's family have been navigating this challenging time, we are excited to report that the SLS Community organization has continued to dedicate a high level of energy and resources to this project. South Cato Springs Project The South Cato Springs project is located on +230-acres along South Cato Springs Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The land is near the University of Arkansas campus, Kessler Mountain Regional Park, downtown Fayetteville, and Interstate 49—the main thoroughfare in northwest Arkansas. The master plan, which is still a work in progress and living document that includes commercial, vocational, residential, recreational, and clinical resources to improve the quality of life of the entire community of Northwest Arkansas while promoting meaningful interaction between neurodiverse adults and the broader community along "live, work and play" themes that are interwoven in "this mixed -use" development. The City of Fayetteville has been collaborating with the private landowner South Cato Springs Holdings, LLC (another impact partner which purchased the land in 2019), to craft a land plan that was grounded in the SLS Community mission and the City of Fayetteville's vision for the future. The City has had an unprecedented seat at the table for the past five years working with the SLS Community. Staff has been exploring opportunities for how the South Cato Springs Project can provide a number of other City benefits. Examples include a sanitary sewer connection to Kessler Mountain Regional Park. A secondary access point to Kessler Mountain Regional Park and other recreational enhancements have also been discussed. This high level of collaboration has enabled us to work together on numerous fronts to ensure a great deal of social, environmental, and economic benefits for our community. One of the challenges of the project relates to infrastructure, specifically access to sanitary sewer and an access road for the site. Following a request from SLS Community for infrastructure assistance, staff began exploring numerous avenues for grants to support this request. The project intentionally integrates commercial, residential, cultural, institutional and entertainment components that promote a healthy lifestyle and meaningful interaction between the neurodiverse and broader community. True inclusion of neurodiverse individuals within the broader community is more likely to succeed if neurodiverse individuals are seen as assets rather than burdens. Triple Bottom Line Benefits The project boasts an array of social, economic, and environmental benefits: Social: • Headquarters and facilities for SLS Community and the UAMS Genomic Clinic; • Opportunities to enhance Kessler Mountain Regional Park; • Incorporation of a network of soft surface hiking and biking trails; • True inclusion of neurodiverse residents with the broader community. Economic: • Estimated capital investment of over $238 million; • UAMS Genomic Clinic; • Headquarters and Research and Development facility of Phigenics, a national water quality company; • Technical education and employment opportunities for neurodiverse residents. Environmental: • Expanded tree preservation on the property; • Connection of Kessler Mountain Regional Park to sanitary sewer and removal of the current onsite septic system. Problem Framing: Why Does SLS Community Exist? About a half million individuals with neurodiversity in the United States will become adults over the next decade, a swelling tide for which the country is unprepared. When they turn 21, these individuals leave behind the programming and funding they received under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act and enter a labyrinth of government services that vary wildly from state to state. This gap between services provided to a neurodiverse child and services provided to an adult is often called the "Services Cliff." In general, adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are eligible for resources through Medicaid, income supplement programs under Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and various state disability agencies. These funds are meant to be combined and configured to fit the needs and priorities of each person, going toward everything from employment opportunities and day services to long-term care. It is difficult for families to navigate these layers of bureaucracy. But all the layers of bureaucracy often seem to tangle together for families. Safeguards intended to protect neurodiverse adults from being exploited often stymie parents and cost them money they simply do not have. The reality is that less than two percent of funding for autism is directed to the experience of adulthood and aging —even though people with autism spend a vastly greater proportion of their life as adults. Meanwhile, global estimates range as high as 85 percent unemployment or underemployment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)—the lowest employment rate among disability groups. There's not enough funding in the first place, but even so, a lot of money is left on the table because the system is so difficult to navigate. It's an extremely tough problem for families of full-time professionals and nearly impossible for families with less resources. In addition, services for adults with neurodiversity are overcrowded and ill-equipped. Nationally, 850,000 people with significant disabilities are waiting for help to avoid being institutionalized. People with neurodiversity and their families often wait years —sometimes decades —to access these government -supported services. Furthermore, many private healthcare providers report lacking skills and tools to care for the growing number of adults with neurodiversity. The scale and complexity of the social problems facing the neurodiverse community has made reforms difficult. The heroic efforts of countless direct service providers and nonprofits, together with billions of dollars in charitable contributions, may have led to important improvements in individual services, yet systemic change seems out of reach. While many of these services exist, the crux of the problem remains that they are often both isolated and cost -prohibitive for most families. Against these daunting realities, a remarkable exception is emerging in Fayetteville Arkansas: SLS Community and its impact partners. 0 Other Impact Partners of SLS Community: UAMS and Phigenics UAMS. SLS Community has also partnered with UAMS to develop and construct an outpatient medical facility on the property. Specialty medical services and allied therapeutic services will be provided to all consumers, with special adaptations and accommodations for the special needs of the neurodiverse population. Other benefits of the UAMS medical facility include: • Provide access to primary and specialty care for neurodiverse adults; • A place for advancing science allowing these adults to live richer, meaningful lives; • A home to academic programs for educating the next generation of health professionals, caregivers, and researchers. Phigenics. A growing water -tech company named Phigenics, LLC has committed to developing its new corporate headquarters on the land. R&D efforts at the new facility will focus on developing microbial, molecular, and viral diagnostics. Phigenics has been an early impact partner of SLS Community. Ashton McCombs was one of the founders of Phigenics and served as its President and CEO until his death. The SLS Community, UAMS, McComb's family, and other project partners are excited to meet with each member of our City Council in the coming weeks and share more about their plans, next steps for the project as well as solicit feedback from you on ways to improve their project. The Department of Economic Vitality will be assisting in coordinating these meetings which will be hosted at the project site. A separate email for scheduling purposes and logistics will follow.

ARKANSAS TO: Mayor Lioneld Jordan City Council Devin Howland, Director of Economic Vitality THRU: Alison Jumper- Director of Parks and Recreation Ted Jack- Parks Planning Superintendent FROM: John J. Scott - Urban Forester DATE: May 12, 2022 STAFF MEMO SUBJECT: Forestry Assessment, Parcel 765-15443-500 117.2 Acres, 765-15443-000 36.8 Acres, 765-15443-003 11.1 Acres, 765-15443-002 5.9 Acres, 765-15443-503 1.3 Acres, 765-15443-504 12.6 Acres, 765-15443-503 4.2 Acres, 765-15443-202 2.0 Acres, 765-15433- 200 32.2 Acres, and 765-15443-208 5.9 Acres. A total of 229.2 Acres. BACKGROUND: Urban Forestry staff was asked by Devin Howland, Director of Economic Vitality, to conduct a Forestry Assessment of the properties listed above, totaling 229.2 acres. Staff divided the property into four sections based on existing boundaries, such as a fence and streams, for ease of review. Section 4 Section 2 7% Section 3 Section 1 ' 5 I e r-1-01 F , Exhibit 1- Overall Site with Sections 2022 This assessment looks at the general condition of the forests, age, species profile, and health of the forests. Information about hydrology, wildlife habitat, and the history of the lands is included in the assessment. The assessment is created with GIS aerial images and information gathered during several site visits. Forestry staff used the standard measurement of tree diameter at breast height (D13H) to indicate tree size and approximate age for the assessment. Large and medium species trees Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 with a DBH of 10-20" are typically no larger than 30 feet and not older than 30 years. Large and medium species trees with a DBH of 20-30" are typically 30-50' tall. Trees with 30" DBH and above are typically larger than 40' in height. The age of a tree after 20" DBH is more difficult to determine without taking core samples from the tree. Small species trees usually hit maturity at 20-25' tall, and the DBH varies according to species, usually no larger than 20" DBH. SECTION 1 SITE VISIT: On May 9, 2022, staff visited section 1 of the property, accessed from the south side of Judge Cummings Road through the fields. Staff also accessed the west and north sides of section 1 via Cato Springs Trail. SECTION 1VO s r NqL 40 '-. A r Judge Cummings Road, Exhibit 2- Section 1 2022 SECTION 1 ANALYSIS: Evidence of typical wildlife was found and seen during the site visit. Deer, coyotes, raccoons, and other mammals are typically found in areas like this, and evidence of all three and many more was observed during the site visit. A few typical bird species, such as crows, blue jays, and red tail hawks, were also observed during the site visit. Archival aerial imagery shows that the southern and middle portions of the site were historically used as pasture and agriculture fields, which did not have trees in the fields or the fence rows before 1998. The area in front of the homestead was maintained as a lawn/field. Aerial images indicate that this site has been a working farm until very recently, around 2007. Exhibit 3- Section 1 1998 The trees in the southern and middle fields and the fence rows are no larger than 24" DBH. The pine trees that run along S. Cato Springs Road are between 20-26" DBH. The species found in the fence rows consist of hackberry, locust, Bradford Pear, and bush honeysuckle with less than 24" DBH. The most important forest and trees in section one are along the streams. Most of the property drains into two creeks, meeting at the northwest corner of section one. The trees along these streams consist of oak, willow, osage orange, hackberry, locust, hickory, persimmon, dogwood, cedar, and pine trees. These stream corridors provide important habitats for wildlife and help with stormwater and flood control. Exhibit 4- Streamside forests 151 SECTION 1 HOMESTEAD: There are several large trees near the homestead. North of the home is a clump of trees containing three large oak trees 40-50" DBH. Two of these oaks are healthy, and one is in poor condition. There is also a large 46" DBH hackberry growing into the house. To the southwest of the home are two large healthy hackberries 46" DBH or above. There are a few large mature cedar trees around the home as well. Exhibit 5- Section 1 Homestead 2022 SECTION 2 SITE VISIT: On May 1011, staff visited section 2 and accessed the property from the Traverse trail and open field areas. Staff walked up the hillside and observed the wooded areas. Exhibit 6- Section 2 2022 SECTION 2 ANALYSIS: Section 2 has four distinct ecosystems. The trees in the open field in section 2 are mostly pines, cedar, hackberry, and callery pear trees. Pines dominate the healthy pine forest, and there are very few other species in this location. The cedar tree dominates the healthy cedar forest part of section 2 and contains some pines and a few oaks. The west portion of section 2 contains a mixture of pioneer plants, such as callery pear, locust, cedar, hackberry, bush honeysuckle, green briar, and blackberry patches. a Rk % . 9W. ? Exhibit 7- Forests 2022 A 0 SECTION 2 HISTORICALLY: Section 2 is on the northeast portion of this property. This section was mostly void of vegetation as recent as 1965. The western part of section 2, identified with pioneer species, was an agriculture field in the 1980s. Exhibit 8-1980 SECTION 3 SITE VISIT: On May 111", staff visited section 3. Staff used the field, Traverse Trails, and remnant farm roads to access the site. Exhibit 9 — Section 3 2022 SECTION 3 ANALYSIS: After the site visit, staff noted there were significant large trees scattered about section 3. Overall most of the trees have grown since 2000. There is a large pond to the south adjacent to Kessler Regional Park. The pond was used for agriculture but now provides a healthy wetland ecosystem. SECTION 3 HISTORICALLY: This area was a maintained agriculture field prior to 2000. The trees grown in the area are typical pioneer species, locust, callery pear, hackberry, bush honeysuckle, and cedar. { - ►�� a t kt s _ o- of 4 Nib .70 mow __F •' 4d2000 ram. Exhibit 10- Section 3 2000 1# There are two large walnut trees on the northeast side of section 3; both are 40" DBH or greater. Two large hackberries are near the middle of section 3 and are both 40" DBH or greater. The rest of the significant trees are oaks scattered in the field. These are healthy post oaks that are 40" DBH or greater. E-1 SECTION 4 SITE VISIT: Urban Forestry staff visited section 4 on May 12'. This portion contained several impenetrable areas due to thorns from locusts, briar, blackberry, and callery pears. Staff used park access roads, the Traverse Trail, and open fields to access the site. Exhibit 11- Section 4 2022 SECTION 4 ANALYSIS: Like the other sections, most of this site was used for agriculture until 1998-2000. The areas that have grown since 1998 are colonized by callery pear trees, honey locusts, cedar, willow, and bush honeysuckle. l Exhibit 12- Section 4 1998 The portion to the west adjacent to the park is a healthy, typical oak -hickory forest. There are several species of hickory and oak in section 4. Other tree species typically found in these areas: are persimmon, ash, osage orange, elm, dogwood, redbud, locust, and cedar trees. The trees along the stream and drainage corridor are mature and consist of locusts, willow, 9 sycamore, osage orange, oaks, and hickory. The vegetation along the stream and western portion of section 4 has been wooded since 1965. • � ` rr,� •f • �.LLI a�i Exhibit 13- Section 4 forests MDMAk -41to 066'P 10 OVERALL SITE ANALYSIS: The entire site serves as drainage for the surrounding mountains. Two creeks run through the site and join in the eastern portion of the site. The streams continue to the east and under Cato Springs Road. GIS maps illustrate several wet spots, and most of the site contains hydric soils. Exhibit 14- GIS Streams and Hydric Soils The most important areas are highlighted and consist of stream corridors, a pine forest, an oak - hickory forest, and scattered large trees in the open fields. Exhibit 15- Overall Site with noted Forests 11 The overall site is indicative of historic pasture lands that have gone fallow and are turning back into forests dominated by pioneer species. High -quality mature trees are primarily located on the western portion of the site adjacent to Kessler Regional Park, with bands of mature trees following the stream corridors and historic fence rows. Large significant oaks are sprinkled through the fields on the southwest portion. a , PIW ie Nib- r40, f•. - * + ` •! z Y Exhibit 16- Overal Site 2004 a Exhibit 17- Overall Site 2022 12 City of Fayetteville, Arkansas - Budget Adjustment Form (Legistar) Budget Year Division Adjustment Number ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (050) /Org2 2022 Requestor: Devin Howland BUDGET ADJUSTMENT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MAYOR JORDAN TO SIGN AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH SOUTH CATO SPRINGS HOLDINGS, LLC, SIGN AND ACCEPT A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR $3,000,000, COMMITTING $2,000,000 OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOND FUNDS AND $1,480,000 OF STREET FUNDS TO CONSTRUCT A MASTER STREET PLANNED ROAD, ACCEPT AN ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, AND APPROVE A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.

The proposal involves the purchase and initial development of largely undeveloped parcels of land in an area known as South Cato Springs. The cost of land acquisition and connection of the property to basic infrastructure, including connecting to the sewer system, is estimated to be approximately $6.5 million. The City of Fayetteville has been awarded a federal Community Project Fund grant of $3 million to support the effort. Methodology Researchers will document the expected economic impact of the development using an IMPLAN model calibrated for Washington County. The scope of the analysis will include three specific business entities that have committed to the project, and will include the impact of construction activity during the development phase as well as the long-term impact on economic activity of their operations. By utilizing the IMPLAN model, we will be able to report not only on the direct effects of the development project, but also the indirect and induced effects as spending ripples through the local economy. Researchers will also include an estimate on the fiscal impact, facilitating a broad cost -benefit analysis from the perspective of the City of Fayetteville. Deliverables The research will involve information provided by the City of Fayetteville's Office of Economic Vitality and by the business entities that have committed to the project. The final report will contain the following information: 1. Analysis: estimating and describing economic impact and cost -benefit considerations 2. Methodology: Description and analysis of input-output model effects 3. Fiscal impact: Tax revenue generated for local government and ROI considerations. The data used for the project will be derived from reports provided by the Office of Economic Vitality and from other sources. Costs The cost of this study is $4,545, plus 10% indirect costs, which leads to the final of $4,999.50. 1 LA LA Arkansas Economic Development Institute LITTLE 2801 South University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72204-1099 ROCK 501.569.8519 1 YourAEDI.com I grow@YourAEDI.mm MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT This Memorandum of Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas acting for and on behalf of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock - AEDU a public institution of higher education having a principal place of business at 2801 South University Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204 ("University") and the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas with a principal place of business at 113 W.

BACKGROUND: In December of 2022, Mayor Jordan signed an MOU with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's Arkansas Economic Development Institute for a budgeted economic impact analysis with SLS Community (Legistar file 2022-1167, Internal Review). On January 3, 2023, staff received a request from UALR for the City to sign a MOA with the University of Arkansas for these services (attached). DISCUSSION: The Arkansas Economic Development Institute is a component of the University of Arkansas System, housed with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. AEDI is home to the State's Chief Economic Forecaster, Dr. Michael Pakko, who is personally completing this analysis for the City. The analysis for SLS Community and South Cato Springs Holdings was delivered prior to the City Council Meeting on December 6, 2022. The attached MOA has been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office and is consistent with the previously signed MOU. Given the urgency of the City's request to meet the SLS Community City Council deadline, UALR did not send the MOA before the MOU. The request for Mayor Jordan to sign the MOA is the University working to clean up their documentation. Staff has consulted with the City Attorney's office on this matter and has no issue with Mayor signing the MOA since we have not yet paid UALR.

Michael Pakko Arkansas Economic Development Institute (501) 569-8541 mrpakko@ualr.edu Accepted on December 1, 2022 By: LIONELD JORDAN Mayor of the City of Fayetteville uAr Arkansas Economic Development Institute LITTLE 2801 South University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72204-1099 ROCK 501.569.8519 1 YourAEDI.com I grow@YourAEDI.com Economic Analysis of The South Cato Springs Development Project Introduction The Arkansas Economic Development Institute (AEDI) has been asked by the City of Fayetteville, Office of Economic Vitality, to conduct an analysis of the potential economic impact of a proposed economic development project. The proposal involves the purchase and initial development of largely undeveloped parcels of land in an area known as South Cato Springs. The cost of land acquisition and connection of the property to basic infrastructure, including connecting to the sewer system, is estimated to be approximately $6.5 million. The City of Fayetteville has been awarded a federal Community Project Fund grant of $3 million to support the effort. Methodology Researchers will document the expected economic impact of the development using an IMPLAN model calibrated for Washington County. The scope of the analysis will include three specific business entities that have committed to the project, and will include the impact of construction activity during the development phase as well as the long-term impact on economic activity of their operations. By utilizing the IMPLAN model, we will be able to report not only on the direct effects of the development project, but also the indirect and induced effects as spending ripples through the local economy. Researchers will also include an estimate on the fiscal impact, facilitating a broad cost -benefit analysis from the perspective of the City of Fayetteville. Deliverables The research will involve information provided by the City of Fayetteville's Office of Economic Vitality and by the business entities that have committed to the project. The final report will contain the following information: 1. Analysis: estimating and describing economic impact and cost -benefit considerations 2. Methodology: Description and analysis of input-output model effects 3. Fiscal impact: Tax revenue generated for local government and ROI considerations. The data used for the project will be derived from reports provided by the Office of Economic Vitality and from other sources. Costs The cost of this study is $4,545, plus 10% indirect costs, which leads to the final of $4,999.50. 2 Un Arkansas Economic Development Institute LITTLE 2801 South University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72204-1099 ROCK 501.569.8519 1 YourAEDI.com I grow@YourAEDI.com MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT This Memorandum of Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas acting for and on behalf of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock - AEDI, a public institution of higher education having a principal place of business at 2801 South University Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204 ("University") and the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas with a principal place of business at 113 W.

ARKANSAS TO: Mayor Lioneld Jordan THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff Devin Howland, Director of Economic Vitality FROM: Chung Tan, Dep Dir, Employment & Industry DATE: April 3, 2023 STAFF MEMO SUBJECT: Mayor Jordan's signature is needed on the Amended Grant Agreement between the City and the federal Community Project Fund administered by HUD for the SLS Community Infrastructure project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending authorizing Mayor Jordan to sign the attached Amended Grant Agreement for the SLS Infrastructure Community Project Fund award. BACKGROUND: In April of 2021, Congressman Steve Womack requested a Community Project Fund, CPF, award be awarded to the City for the SLS Community Project. On March 8, 2022, President Biden signed the omnibus bill and the City was notified that the SLS Community Project was chosen to receive a Federal Award of $3M in the form of infrastructure assistance. The CPF program will be administered by HUD. On December 6, 2022, City Council approved to accept the award and authorized the Mayor to sign the original agreement. The original agreement was signed by HUD and became effective on February 24, 2023. DISCUSSION: The City was notified by HUD in March 2023 that a recently enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 made several changes that apply to CPF FY22 recipients including the City. In response to these changes, HUD has modified its grant award processes and award documents. Consequently, HUD has prepared a revised grant agreement that reflects the requirements that are now applicable. The revised grant agreement needs the Mayor's signature and HUD's for it to be effective. Fayetteville City Council authorized BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: No budget or staff impact on this item.

Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 Email: Dhowland@fayetteville-ar.gov Dear Mayor Jordan: The recently enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, (P.L. 117-328) (the FY2023 Act) includes changes for HUD's Fiscal Year 2022 Community Project Funding (CPF) grants initially authorized in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103) (the FY2022 Act).' In addition to these changes, HUD has determined that all of its FY2022 CPF grants will be subject of one of HUD's waivers of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions, which means that BABA will not be applied to your FY2022 CPF grant. To account for these changes and clarify the applicable requirements for your grant, HUD has determined that it is necessary to amend and restate your FY2022 CPF Grant Agreement and modify the FY2022 Grant Guide. This letter provides a brief overview of the changes and the process that FY2022 grantees should take to execute the amended and restated Grant Agreement. As a clarification, this letter applies only to your FY2022 CPF grant. If you have also been designated to receive a FY2023 CPF grant, HUD will provide a separate correspondence regarding that grant. Amending the Grant Agreement to account for the changes detailed below will give you more discretion over the use of your grant funds. Even if you do not wish to make any project or budget changes, however, please sign and return the amended and restated Grant Agreement so that all FY2022 CPF grant agreements include accurate and consistent requirements. If you choose to amend your project or budget, you must submit a letter to your Grant Officer at CPFGrants(ahud.gov with the revised project description, budget and/or timeline, along with a justification for the proposed changes. This new scope of work should include a detailed explanation of how the change keeps with the intent of Congress, why the change is needed and the details of the revised narrative or line -item budget. ' The FY2023 Act language related to Congressionally -directed Economic Development Initiative/Community Project Funding is on pages 696-697: https://www.con rg ess.gov/117/bills/hr2617/BILLS-117hr2617enr.pdf. Given that your award for this grant is currently under a fully executed Grant Agreement and deemed "obligated," you may continue to make draw down requests and HUD can continue to approve payments on eligible expenses per your current approved Grant Agreement. The FY2023 Act includes the following changes for FY2022 grants: 1) The FY2023 Act clarifies that eligible expenses include administrative, planning, operations, and maintenance costs; 2) The FY2023 Act authorizes the grant funds to be used for reimbursement of otherwise eligible expenses incurred on or after the date of enactment of the FY2022 Act, and prior to the date of grant execution; and 3) The FY2023 Act removes the previously applicable condition that expenditures for planning and management development and administration must not exceed 20 percent of the grant amount. In addition to this letter, the Grant Award Package includes: 1) The updated "FY2022 Community Project Funding Grant Guide: Version 2" (FY2022 CPF Grant Guide): a. The FY2022 CPF Grant Guide provides information on the appropriations - specific and cross -cutting Federal requirements that govern these funds. b. The Grant Guide also includes guidance for various grant administration related actions. Please refer to this document as it includes important information and forms for accessing the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system which manages the reimbursement process and periodic reporting of project status and accomplishments. i. Links to the required forms are included as attachments to this letter, in the Grant Guide and on our website at this link: https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm planning/FY_2022_edi- r 2) Amended and Restated Grant Agreement: a. The Grant Agreement specifies the applicable statutory provisions, regulations, and administrative requirements for this award. b. Please read this Grant Agreement carefully, including its incorporated appendices, which contain additional mandatory award terms as well as information specific to your award, such as your organization's indirect cost information. c. Please make sure all grantee information and award -specific information is entered completely and accurately before signing this Agreement. d. The Authorized Representative, or legal signatory for grantee, must sign and date the Grant Agreement. e. Please retain a "copy" (either electronic and/or printed) of the signed and dated document for your records pending receipt of the countersigned copy from HUD. To assist you with understanding the materials that you have received, HUD will be hosting a series of monthly webinars and weekly "office hours. Within the next few days, HUD will provide a prerecorded webinar that provides an overview of the material attached to this email. In the coming weeks, HUD will host a series of webinars and "office hours" to review the requirements and further Page 2 support grantees through the grant award process and beyond. HUD will send an invitation to the webinars and reminder emails prior to each session with the link to register. Overview of Changes from the FY2023 Act Superseding provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, have resulted in the following changes for HUD's FY2022 CPF grants: (1) FY2022 CPF grant funds may now be used for reimbursement of otherwise eligible expenses (including administrative, planning, operations and maintenance, and other costs) incurred on or after March 15, 2022 and prior to the date of grant execution; and (2) FY2022 CPF grants are no longer subject to the funding limitation that not more than 20 percent of the grant may be used for expenditures for planning and management development and administration. To be eligible, expenses must comply with applicable Federal requirements. This includes administrative requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, environmental laws, statutes, and Executive Orders, and other "cross -cutting" federal requirements adhered to by HUD. In addition, environmental reviews are required for all HUD funded programs and project activities. This includes soft costs as well as hard costs. In keeping with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and HUD's NEPA- implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 50 or 24 CFR Part 58, environmental reviews must be completed, and a Request for Release of Funds and Certification must be approved by HUD, as applicable, for all projects prior to taking any `choice limiting actions.'2 Environmental reviews must be completed before a grantee can undertake actions that prevent the grantee from taking an alternative action to minimize or avoid environmental harm, or that would have an adverse environmental impact ("choice limiting actions"). This step is required to avoid violations under 24 CFR 58.22 which provides limitations on activities pending clearance, and Section 110(k) of the National Historic Preservation Act which prohibits anticipatory demolition or significant harm of historic properties prior to completion of the historic preservation review process known as Section 106 review. Examples of `choice limiting actions' include, but are not limited to, purchasing land, entering into contracts for property acquisition or construction, or physical work on the project. HUD defines the "Federal Nexus" for a program or project as the event that triggers the requirements for federal environmental review under a host of laws, regulations, and Executive Orders, including the prohibition on choice limiting actions. Typically, the Federal nexus (for application of environmental requirements to a particular project) is the date when an application for federal assistance for a particular project is received. For formula programs, generally HUD's grantee receives a block of funds, but particular projects are selected by HUD's grantee and are not known until HUD's grantee receives an application for a particular project. The particular project is not federalized until that specific application is received by HUD's grantee. For competitive programs (where an applicant applies to HUD for particular projects), the date of application to HUD is the Federal nexus. Under the original process for the FY2022 EDI/CPF grants, given that grantees were not 2 Choice limiting actions constitute work, such as entering construction contract agreements/commitments and earth -moving activities/clearing/grubbing as well as building renovation/upgrades, that can have an adverse impact on cultural resources or the environment, or prevent the avoidance, minimization, or mitigation of those impacts. Page 3 aware of the federal requirements at enactment and that recipients could not be reimbursed for eligible expenses that occurred before obligation (interpreted to mean execution of the grant agreement), HUD determined that the Letter of Invitation (LOI) would serve as notification of the federalization of the award. HUD has determined the federalization date of FY2022 EDI CPF grants as July 18- 28, 2022. The exact date for federalization depends on the date of your Letter of Invitation. This is also referred to as the federal `nexus' date for environmental review for CPF projects. To prevent choice limiting actions from occurring, following the Letter of Invitation, you may not commit funds or take any actions (outside of existing contracts) until an environmental review is completed. Further explanation of choice limiting actions and the environmental review process, including historic preservation review, is included within the CPF Grant Guide. Specific to FY2022, federalization for hard costs at the LOI protects grantees who may have started work before the LOI from compliance with a host of environmental/cultural resources laws that they were previously unaware of, including the prohibition on choice limiting actions. Once a project is slated for federal funds, the project must comply with federal environmental laws and these laws were not written to take into account projects that were already under construction before the project proponent ensured the process was complete (including consultations with stakeholders prior to ground -disturbance). HUD wanted to maximize availability of funding for FY2022, while also protecting grantees from increased risk of prohibited choice limiting actions and non-compliance with federal law before they even knew that their projects were required to be compliant. HUD has considered how to implement the FY2023 Act's language in a way that maximizes eligible expenses for affected grantees. Based on the FY2023 Act's language changing the reimbursable expenses for FY2022 CPF grantees, HUD evaluated how to increase eligible project costs while ensuring adherence to all "eligibility" requirements. Given that the specific reference to "otherwise eligible expenses" within the FY2023 Act's language includes compliance with environmental requirements as paramount to project eligibility, the changes broaden costs reimbursement for the FY2022 cohort: 1. For soft costs, HUD conducted a nationwide environmental review to clear activities such as administrative, planning, and operations and maintenance costs (including costs to prepare an environmental review). After execution of the Amended and Restated Grant Agreement and the approved budget is changed as necessary to account for these costs, you may use your grant funds to reimburse soft costs incurred on or after the date of enactment of the FY2022 Act (March 15, 2022). 2. For hard costs: After execution of the Amended and Restated Grant Agreement and after the approved budget is changed as necessary to account for these costs, you may use your grant funds to reimburse hard costs that were incurred after the environmental review process was completed and after the date of the LOL All information required for your grant award should be submitted via email to the dedicated mailbox at CPFGrantsAhud.gov.
