This ordinance authorizes amendments to the Redevelopment Agreement (RDA) and the Museum Improvements Costs Disbursement Agreement between the City, the Downtown Investment Authority (DIA), and the Museum of Science and History (MOSH). The key changes include:

• Reduced Parking Obligation: The requirement for parking spaces for the museum is reduced from 75 to a minimum of 30 spaces.
• Alignment of Performance Schedules: The timelines for MOSH's obligations, including design, construction drawings, permit submittal, and project completion, are extended. The museum completion date is now January 30, 2029, with construction commencement no later than September 1, 2026.
• Administrative Approval of Parcel Descriptions: The CEO of the DIA, the Director of Public Works, and the Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services are authorized to administratively approve final legal descriptions for the Project Parcel, Joint-Use Parcel, and Park Parcel, provided there is no reduction in the area or quality of the Joint-Use/Partnership and Park Parcels.
• City Oversight: The Department of Public Works will oversee the museum and CIP projects, while the Department of Parks, Recreation & Community Services will oversee park design.

The amendments are intended to align with current estimates and allow MOSH to proceed with the project, which involves constructing a museum of at least 75,000 gross square feet on approximately 2.5 acres, along with associated park and Riverwalk improvements on a total of 7.23 acres.

Residents will see a reduction in the required parking spaces for the new museum development. The project's timeline has been extended, with the museum completion now set for January 30, 2029, and city departments will provide oversight for the museum and park construction.
