The board reported no action came from the closed session.

On finance, staff reported receipt of a $400,000 payment identified as “CVS” in other income. Staff said an additional project closing that had been expected in April was anticipated to close in May and would add about $200,000 to revenues. For April the agency reported net income for the month of roughly $149,000 and a year-to-date deficit of about $600,000. Liquid assets were reported at just under $1.2 million as of April 30; staff noted fixed assets on the balance sheet will require review during the upcoming audit period.

The board ratified multiple vendor checks that had already been paid. Items the board listed included (amounts as stated in meeting): Digi Lehi for $82,572 for two Visionmax LED video screens; Ice Builders for $5,744 for poly sheets and bleacher board; a corrected Markertek invoice (amounts quoted in the transcript were inconsistent and are not specified here); Eastern Shore Broadcasting (amount as stated in transcript unclear); Capital Resource Corp for $31,803.14 for repair and maintenance; and an additional check to Capital Resource Corp for miscellaneous LeCom event center bills (amount as stated in the transcript was unclear). Board members said some of the LED-screen-related expenses are being pursued for ARPA funding and that the total ARPA requests related to these items were roughly $200,000; staff estimated additional LED and marquee expenses could bring that total toward $300,000–$400,000 with a half-million-dollar balance remaining in the IDA account.

The board moved into an executive session by motion to discuss a particular person or corporation’s financial history and the proposed acquisition, sale or lease of real property; the motion passed by voice vote. After returning from executive session, the chair announced “No action in executive session.” The meeting then adjourned. The associated Chemung County capital resource corporation meeting that followed did not present a financial report because the audit work was still in progress.

Votes noted on the record during the meeting were taken by voice vote; the meeting audio does not include a roll-call tally for these items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Chemung County - Chemung County IDA/CRC - May 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the May 2025 meeting the Chemung County IDA approved April minutes and the budget, ratified multiple vendor payments, authorized staff to pursue ARPA-funded items, entered executive session on property and financial matters and returned with no action.","taxTitle","Chemung County, New York","taxId",12531,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6563328,"Chemung County IDA authorizes nonbinding feasibility study with Reify Solar for arena roof",312,384000,696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229030-fd07013098aff161a241d21985a77b72&start=384&end=696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229030-fd07013098aff161a241d21985a77b72/thumbnail_384000.jpg","/articles/6563328/Chemung-County/New-York/Chemung-County-IDA-authorizes-nonbinding-feasibility-study-with-Reify-Solar-for-arena-roof","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563328-a0872504088bc8d2152c3afa58072e67/orig.mp4?Expires=1775852927&Signature=SLpvOA8hnT21pkm57xNrsEeX-JARGloXvmDL1JUzc2fMBgvGrsRPJG-JJ0fZ1uHtnJQRyTAAJ8jRvgW2k~HZeMI~nh7WF-3STGTmKd3Fg2jDWiRYbrZ-mUbhM0QsM3qu-Co6fRb0k6esGQ3IFwz2rzHzYorpIa6s5s7kW6LuznO8Pb0QDxZkGlfeO9ROCasBUlMcFBwvG05G3tmB6z2FPnqab1V8HwZV7-T4geNUqM~6gVS1ys1n2UC1MgrMslWztlHOOXpjg9j9A5iky9Hj4kAxTFu9rsLn0T1XvVllptsAr9UkEv61TRCW2jWyTXevXNUpo4NujPiWeDToACAhfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chemung County Industrial Development Agency on a voice vote in May 2025 authorized staff to sign a nonbinding letter of intent (LOI) with Reify Solar to permit the company to conduct a feasibility study of installing solar on the arena roof.

The LOI, as described by Steve Mayer, Reify Solar representative, is limited to due diligence and “basically just permitting them to ... the feasibility study, figure out if it's worthwhile.” If the study produces a positive result, the LOI would lead to negotiations over a potential lease and power arrangement.

Board members discussed likely commercial terms during the meeting. One board member said the developer would pay rent for roof space, the IDA would use electricity generated for interior needs, and excess generation would be exported to the grid. The board and staff also noted Reify Solar was looking at several city-owned roofs and that other IDA properties such as 17 Aviation Drive could be considered because of its large, flat roof.

The LOI includes no binding rent, lease term or definitive financial commitments for the IDA; it authorizes only the vendor to undertake feasibility work and does not obligate the IDA to accept any subsequent proposal. The board voted to authorize staff to execute the LOI; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded nay votes.

Next steps identified at the meeting are for Reify Solar to complete feasibility work and, if results are positive, for the parties to enter good-faith negotiations on lease and power-purchase terms.","At its May 2025 meeting the Chemung County Industrial Development Agency authorized staff to sign a nonbinding letter of intent allowing Reify Solar to perform a feasibility study on installing solar panels on the county arena roof; if feasible, the parties would negotiate terms for a lease and power arrangement.","actionData","errors"]
