Staff Report: https://barrie.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9884256&GUID=892F7DC5-409B-4F18-AC60-8C6685F4296F
Renegotiating the BIA's financial commitments associated with the Dunlop Streetscape ($300,000) and Meridian Place ($3,351,775) projects – of which $2,347,613 (over 70%) is still outstanding.
Current agreement is to pay the remaining funds over 10 years beginning in 2022, at 4.25% interest.
No payment has been made towards the Dunlop Streetscape commitment
$1,675,887 was supposed to have been paid by special BIA levy, and $1,675,888 by BIA fundraising
The special levy has not been used to pay down the BIA's debt, but $162,941 of additional fundraising commitments have been put towards this portion, bringing the outstanding levy amount owed to $1,512,946
The BIA has fundraised $1,838,829 – however, only $1,304,162 of that has been paid to the city, leaving $534,667 (which it appears are pledges that have not yet been collected)
