"Greensboro council to consider building parking deck near baseball stadium
The City Council will discuss Tuesday whether to build an eight-story parking deck near the downtown baseball stadium.
The 1,050-space deck would provide the foundation — quite literally — for the 15- to 20-story mixed-use building Greensboro developer Roy Carroll is planning.
Carroll’s building would sit atop the deck.
...“We’re going to build on our property a city parking deck and we’re going to retain the air rights above the parking deck,” he said.
...The deck would serve not only Carroll’s planned building, but an office tower adjacent to First National Bank Field that’s under construction.
...Tuggle Duggins law firm will use the top 2½ floors of the building, which will be about one-third the size of the Lincoln Financial Building.
Tuggle Duggins and other tenants would lease 265 parking spaces from the city.
...Carroll’s building would lease 450 spaces from the city. Carroll would first create ground-level retail space within the deck, then add the high-rise on top.
Tenants of the two buildings would use 715 spaces. The other 335 would be available to the public for a fee, just like other downtown decks.
The plan would cost the city $2.5 million a year, including repaying construction debt. The city would pay for it with parking fees and with money from the general fund."

WHEREAS, the City desires to provide parking to the LLC as part of the Eugene Downtown Development Project which includes construction of a new City parking deck, a new office building owned and operated by LLC, and a future retail, office, hotel, and residential building located below and above the new City parking deck;...
Roy Carroll already got the parking deck deal in May;
"...on May 2, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution #098-17 and authorized the City Manager to enter into a Downtown Development Agreement (DDA) with CHI Greensboro, LLC to design and possibly build a public/private parking structure in the Eugene/Bellemeade area;
WHEREAS, the parking structure will contain approximately 1,050 public parking spaces in an eight (8) story building;
WHEREAS, CHI Greensboro, LLC plans to include basement parking and ground level retail space with the parking structure (Phase I) and has future plans to build an approximate 15-20 story mixed use facility on top of the parking structure (Phase II). Upon completion of the project, the City of Greensboro will own and operate the public parking spaces in the structure. At full build out of Phase II, the mixed use facility would require approximately 450 parking spaces which would be leased from the City at market rates;

WHEREAS, annual operating expenses and debt service costs totaling approximately $2.5 million will be funded from operating revenues from the new deck, existing parking fund revenues, and general fund revenues.
The City Council will discuss Tuesday whether to build an eight-story parking deck near the downtown baseball stadium.
The City, as in Greensboro's taxpayers
The 1,050-space deck would provide the foundation — quite literally — for the 15- to 20-story mixed-use building Greensboro developer Roy Carroll is planning.
Taxpayer funded give away to Roy Carroll,
so he can have parking for his new building
after the 'City' gave Roy a City street and water and sewer infrastructure
so he could build his hotel across the street
Carroll’s building would sit atop the deck.
...“We’re going to build on our property a city parking deck and we’re going to retain the air rights above the parking deck,” he said.
Greensboro's taxpayers are going to build a parking deck
on Roy Carroll's property,
so he can money on the backs of poor City resident's property taxes
...The deck would serve not only Carroll’s planned building, but an office tower adjacent to First National Bank Field that’s under construction.
...Tuggle Duggins law firm will use the top 2½ floors of the building, which will be about one-third the size of the Lincoln Financial Building.
Tuggle Duggins and other tenants would lease 265 parking spaces from the city.
Tuggle Duggins and Roy need the taxpayer funded parking deck
to make the buildings they are already building usable,
which means this deal was already baked into the parasite cake,
enabled by crooked City executives and bought and paid for City Council members
...Carroll’s building would lease 450 spaces from the city. Carroll would first create ground-level retail space within the deck, then add the high-rise on top.
Who gets the revenue from the retail leases?
Is Robbie Perkins going to be the commercial real estate broker?
Tenants of the two buildings would use 715 spaces. The other 335 would be available to the public for a fee, just like other downtown decks.
Taxpayers would have access to 32% of the parking spaces,
while the other 68% go to Roy and Tuggle Duggins
The plan would cost the city $2.5 million a year, including repaying construction debt. The city would pay for it with parking fees and with money from the general fund."
"Money from the general fund" = Tax Increase

WHEREAS, annual operating expenses and debt service costs totaling approximately $2.5 million will be funded from operating revenues from the new deck, existing parking fund revenues, and general fund revenues.
...the City Manager is authorized to enter into a Downtown Development Agreement (DDA) with CHI Greensboro, LLC to design not to exceed $2 million and possibly build a public/private parking structure in the Eugene/Bellemeade area."
From the minutes of the meeting;
"11. ID 17-0257 Resolution to Enter into a Downtown Development Agreement (DDA) with CHI Greensboro, LLC to Design and Build a Public/Private Parking Structure
Mayor Vaughan thanked the speakers for their patience.
No mention of how much money Vaughan took from Roy Carroll and Tuggle Duggins
Councilmember Hightower voiced concern with the lack of M/WBE goals; and requested staff look at the criteria and requirements for Professional Service Contracts.
City Manager Westmoreland explained that staff would work with the company; and inform them of the City's M/WBE requirements.
City Attorney Carruthers referenced that this was for professional services; and confirmed that compliance with the M/WBE Program was a requirement of the agreement.
Moved by Councilmember Outling, seconded by Councilmember Hoffmann, to adopt the resolution.
No mention of how much money Outling and Hoffmann took from Roy Carroll
The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
Ayes, Nancy Vaughan, Yvonne J. Johnson, Mike Barber, Marikay Abuzuaiter, Jamal T. Fox, Sharon M. Hightower, Nancy Hoffmann, Justin Outling and Tony Wilkins"
Some would thing Tony Wilkins should be removed from the Republican Party,
but isn't this really what both parties really stand for?
No mention of the campaign contributions associated with this deal
No mention as I recall of a Rhino Times story
outlining how Roy and Tuggle Duggins pilfered the poor to line their pockets
No disclosure of who was actually getting the money
or the benefits of taxpayer subsidization by the News and Record
This stuff doesn't just happen in a vacuum
The press dropped the ball on this give away, as usual
How much are our property taxes going to go up to pay for Roy and Tuggle Duggins profits?
Our population is stupid because it is kept stupid by our local media
We deserve what we get, good and hard
We are paying Roy to keep up his Yacht
