Macon-Bibb County voters elect one person as mayor, but that individual will put scores of other people in leadership positions
MACON, Ga. As the Age Friendly Communities Advisory Council was planning strategy for 2020, members realized they are lame ducks appointed by Mayor Robert Reichert, who is in his last year of office.
So, the new mayor could change everything? one of them asked.
Right, was the reply.
A similar conversation took place at last months Land Bank Authority meeting.
While discussing the COVID-19 drain on tax revenues and the possibility of working with other county departments on the budget, authority member Gary Bechtel asked, When we get a new administration whos going to be in these positions?
Some of the entities serve as advisory boards to research issues and report back to commissioners and the mayor, others have their own regulatory power, such as the Macon-Bibb County Planning and Zoning Commission which can approve or deny projects based on specific zoning requirements, strategic plans and the publics interest.
Even autonomous entities such as the Macon Water Authority, which is comprised of five elected members, also includes two appointed representatives of Macon-Bibb County.
Chris Floore, the Assistant to the County Manager for Public Affairs, said Mayor Robert Reichert not only draws from his personal knowledge of the local talent base of experts, but listens to others suggestions.
Sometimes hell ask the commission or board for their recommendations, Floore said.
There are nearly four dozen organizations that oversee everything from economic development to the county treescape to what type of public art should be on display.
Some of those groups, such as the newly reconstituted Macon-Bibb County Tree Board, are totally staffed by appointment from the mayor with the approval of the Macon-Bibb County Commission.
The by-laws for each organization often include specific qualifications for appointees.
For instance, when the commissioners considered the recommendations for the Construction Board of Appeals last month, they learned five active members, two alternates and a county building official will hear disputes between local business services staff and construction professionals. The county official would not have a vote and not be able to participate in deliberations or decisions reached.
The five active members must include representatives with experience in architecture or building construction, design and structural engineering, mechanical and plumbing, design and electrical engineering and fire protection engineering.
By code, the reconstituted Tree Board also requires that at least some members are professionally trained in forestry, botany or landscape architecture. The 14 members include half appointed by the mayor and commission and the others are ex-officio, or serve automatically due to the position they hold.
Other entities, such as the Fort Hawkins Board, simply require that a member live in Middle Georgia and be vitally interested in the early history of Macon.
The mayor, or a designee, also has a seat on private boards such NewTown Macon an the Cherry Blossom Festival Board of Directors.
Commissioners have the right to screen the mayors nominees and interview them before voting whether to approve the appointment.
Most often, its more of a rubber stamp procedure with the countys district commissioners generally spending more time discussing the makeup of boards and diversity than grilling the individual persons nominated by the mayor.
Any boards we have, it needs to reflect the community, Commissioner Elaine Lucas said during last months screening of appointments to the Tree Board. We need to make that statement to whoever the new mayor is. We expect these boards to reflect the whole community and not leave anyone out.
Sometimes, a funding source for an organization dictates requirements.
For instance, the Macon-Bibb County Transit Authoritys board must reflect the racial makeup of the area it serves, per Federal Transportation Administration regulations.
For the Macon-Bibb County Hospital Authority, Georgia law mandates the local governing authority submit a list of three names to fill a vacancy and the authority members vote on the nominees.
For the last several years, its been the authoritys practice to send a list of three suggested nominations to the mayor, who can make substitutions as Reichert did in 2017 and 2018 when he added his own name and another suggestion. Those substitutions were not selected.
Typically, the mayor sends back the same three names the hospital authority has suggested.If the authority rejects the first slate, they must choose from a second slate the county submits.
In recent months, commissioners have questioned Reicherts selection process for coming up with nominees and indicated they would like more input.
Filling a vacancy on the Urban Development Authority was as simple as running into former Macon City Councilman Cole Thomason, Reichert said.
I bumped into Cole when he was overseeing the installation of a new glass front on a building on Cotton Avenue, Reichert told the Economic and Community Development Committee in February. I think it would be great to get a business persons perspective.
In other instances, Reichert took commissioners suggestions and tapped graduates of the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerces Leadership Macon program, County Manager Keith Moffett said.
Commissioners want input
Commissioners Lucas and Al Tillman want more involvement in the selection process.
All of us here, we need to be making some suggestions to these boards, Lucas said when Thomasons UDA nomination came up for a vote.
We have all given a list of names before, Tillman said. There are folks lve talked to who would like to serve. As a combined government now, we make all the appointments and when Im gone I would like to have some folks on there that will do right.
In March, commissioners balked at the slate of 10 nominees Reichert proposed for multiple boards and suggested a moratorium on administrative appointments.
Table all appointments until we have further discussions, Tillman suggested. If were not going to be part of the process I just dont think we need to go forward.
Lucas suggested asking the state legislative delegation to revisit the charter that gives just about absolute authority to the mayor, she said.
The meeting ended with all 10 people being approved by the committee which recommended approval to the full commission. No moratorium was enacted.
When creating the Friends of Rosa Parks Square Board early last year, Tillman specified that the mayor pro tem, a position he currently holds, would be responsible for appointments to that body, which is looking for ways to fund enhancements to the public square across from Government Center, set its mission and plan for future maintenance.
Of the dozen friends of the park, one will be the chairman of the Facilities and Engineering Committee or a designee and the rest will be appointed by the mayor pro tem, who is elected by other members of the commission.
Board terms are typically staggered so that the entire organization does not turn over at the same time.
In the recent reconstitution of the Construction Board of Appeals, the initial members terms varied from about 6 months to nearly 4 years so that they would not all rotate off together.
Commissioner Valerie Wynn wants the courtesy of knowing when the mayor is looking to fill vacancies.
I would have input if we knew, Wynn said. We dont get to have a say-so in this and thats part of the problem.
The county has a spreadsheet with the names of nearly 400 people who serve on local boards and authorities. Many of them serve at the pleasure of the mayor and will likely remain on the various boards until the end of their terms even as the next administration takes over.
A copy of the spreadsheet obtained by the Center for Collaborative Journalism shows a column dedicated to when appointments expire, but more than 80 of those were either overdue or the list has not been updated as members were reappointed. Some of the board terms on the document expired years ago.
Tracking the timeline for each persons tenure is not easy, nor is researching each board and its role. The task is even difficult for staff and elected officials.
Clerk of the Macon-Bibb County Commission Janice Ross discovered in her office a large binder left by a predecessor. The book was loaded with by-laws and other information about the countys boards and organizations. It, too, was woefully outdated.
The next mayor will not only have to compile his own staff and evaluate whether to change department heads but must begin identifying candidates to serve on his behalf on all these boards and authorities.

For the companys upcoming projects, LaTerra is placing more value on amenities like balconies, patios and at-home workspaces. Photo by RICHARD HART
Century City-based LaTerra Development is growing fast and aiming high.
The company, which was founded by Charles Tourtellotte in 2009, has more than 3,000 multifamily units under construction or development.
We think that could make LaTerra one of the largest apartment developers in Los Angeles, said Tourtellotte, who serves as the companys chairman and chief executive.
LaTerra specializes in multifamily and mixed-use developments. Since its creation, the company has worked in markets including Santa Monica, Los Feliz, Mar Vista, Burbank, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Echo Park and Silver Lake.
One of our primary goals no matter where we are developing or constructing, no matter where we are entitling, we try to address the rental needs of the community, Tourtellotte said.
The company, he added, does this by offering a range of unit sizes and rents.
Tourtellottes son Chris, who serves as managing director, said LaTerras ability to entitle land sets it apart from other developers.
For example, he said, the company may see a shopping center with underlying residential zoning as a potential project site and look at it as a different opportunity than other investors would. A lot of our competitors can only buy entitled land.
LaTerra, he added, will buy entitled land if it can add value another way.
Charles Tourtellotte said he believes the current supply-demand imbalance for residential units works to the companys advantage.
The market were in is a great market for what we do, he said. The overall supply-demand imbalance here favors our business. The need for housing seems to always outpace the supply. The assets we bring to the table always remain in demand.
QuadReal team-up
In June, LaTerra announced a joint venture with QuadReal Property Group to invest up to $250 million in equity to develop in Southern California.
Were thrilled to have them as a partner, Charles Tourtellotte said.
At the time the partnership was announced, QuadReals managing director for the Americas, Tim Works, said in a statement, Los Angeles has extremely high barriers to entry, and we are excited to partner with a local operator that has significant entitlement expertise and reach into the local market.
The venture has closed on a property at 777 N. Front St. in Burbank that will be used to develop 573 apartments.
The project is located near a Metro station and close to employers like Walt Disney Co.
Charles Tourtellotte said the development includes a $275 million residential component, and an adjacent 300-room hotel has been approved. The site entitled for the hotel, he added, would likely be sold to a developer.
The joint venture has also closed on a site at 7617 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood that will be used for a 71-unit development.
Chris Tourtellotte said bringing in joint venture partners is one of many ways to finance projects.
We seek joint venture capital partners for these big projects because they are so big, and we arent sitting on huge piles of cash to do this on our own, he said.
The QuadReal agreement, he added, will allow LaTerra to have one partner to do multiple projects with, and it lets the company focus on the developments instead of finding partners.
He said this means LaTerra can hold assets longer, as compared to doing a venture with investment partners who might just be looking to build and sell.
Its a pension fund, as opposed to U.S. private equity money, Charles Tourtellotte explained. Theres a big difference between those two sources of capital. Its the character of that capital. Its longer term in nature and, generally speaking, a lower cost.
Multifamily strength
While Covid-19 has had a negative effect on many industries including real estate, multifamily properties have felt that impact less than other asset types.
Multifamily is not suffering like the other real estate types. A lot of my clients are reporting that their collections are pretty high, said CBRE Group Inc.s Laurie Lustig-Bower, adding that rent collections were in the 90% range, (which is) amazing given how the other types of real estate are suffering.
And developers are still interested in creating new product.
We still see a strong appetite for multifamily development, even among Covid times, she said. We still are seeing that developers feel the demand is still there for housing in Los Angeles, and by the time a new project could be approved and built, we should be well past the Covid pandemic.
Multifamily didnt experience any dislocation in the liquidity in the capital markets that almost every other asset type has experienced in the last couple of months, Charles Tourtellotte said.
That strong showing, he added, gives La-Terras investors the confidence to continue to do projects.
We read a lot about distress in the market. So many of the capital partners we speak with say theyre sitting on hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, he added. Theres a lot of capital on the sidelines. We dont think theres going to be a lot of distress ... in our space. Now we have great access to capital, and while we will be more selective in the opportunities we do and weve changed our underwriting standards rent growth (concessions), we are actively looking for new opportunities.
In response to the Covid-19 outbreak, LaTerra has made some changes.
For upcoming projects, the company is placing more value on balconies and patios. It is also adding more workspaces because the company thinks its likely more people will be working from home in the future.
Lustig-Bower said other developers have also expressed interest in creating designated work areas.
If we are going to change the way we work going forward, it would be nice if tenants would have a small office space in the apartment where they could work from home and have it look more professional, she said.
LaTerras leasing practices have had to change, too.
Now, the company is offering some virtual leasing options and said it is leasing at a strong rate.
Contractor affiliate
LaTerra has also set itself up to perform as a general contractor through affiliate LT Building Corp.
The affiliate, which launched earlier this year, is working on two projects in Mar Vista.
For now, it is only working on LaTerra projects.
It gives us much better visibility on costs and better control of the process, Charles Tourtellotte said.
He added that the company had already done construction management and had a team in place.
Looking ahead, Tourtellotte said LaTerra is hoping to put together a branding strategy for the whole portfolio.
Chris Tourtellotte added that the company would be changing the landscape of L.A. as it continues to develop new properties in the area.
Lustig-Bower said she has not heard of projects being put on hold, and developers are still interested in land for new projects. In the first quarter of 2022, effective rent rates are expected to return to pre-Covid levels.
In the time frame it takes to build, we will be beyond the pandemic, she said, adding that multifamily remains a good investment.

Office Building Construction | Comments Off on North America CHP Market to reach over $800 million by 2026, Says Global Market Insights, Inc. – GlobeNewswire
The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) recently approved the construction of a three-story infill and addition at 56 North Moore Streetin the Tribeca West Historic District. The building will eventually debut as a modern office space with multiple outdoor terraces set above the historic masonry faade.

Renderings from ODAs New York design studio offer a first look of the redeveloped property and how the team will refurbish and expand the aging structure, which dates back to the early 1900s. To complete the effort, the architects worked with preservation consultants Higgins Quasebarth & Partners.
Along North Moore Street, scope of work calls for the removal and replacement of all doors, windows, and associated support structures with dark aluminum-cased glass throughout. At the ground floor, the project calls for new concrete sidewalk with stone curbs, a cantilevered storefront marquee, an updated lighting system, and security cameras.

At the upper levels, construction teams will remove existing skylights, fire escapes, and relocate an existing stairwell. The three-story infill and expansion will partially replace the fifth floor and establish two new levels above. The entire addition is enclosed in a modern glass and aluminum faade. The massing of the addition incorporates a number of setbacks that support several terraces and flexible outdoor spaces, as well as reduce sight lines from the street.
When complete, the structures elevation will increase from five to seven stories for a total height of approximately 145 feet including the elevator bulkhead and mechanical enclosure.

While the project is approved by the LPC, the commissioners did not grant a final Certificate of Appropriateness, which is required for the project to proceed. An official letter from the LPC stipulates that ODA must further minimize the visibility of the bulkhead and set back the proposed railing above the existing parapet. Upon receipt, review, and approval, an official Certificate of Appropriateness will be granted.

Contract expired:Exchange at Jacksonville
While the 1,063-acre Southeast Quadrant at Butler Boulevard and Interstate 295 still is planned for development, the proposed 67-acre Exchange at Jacksonville mixed-use retail project no longer is under contract.
Atlanta-based developer Jeff Fuqua introduced the project in March 2019 with a public presentation of a promotional video, but has not responded to calls, texts or emails seeking comment about the status.
The Exchange was designed with a food hall, grocery store, theater, apartments, hotels and office space.
A.C. Chip Skinner III said most of the single-family residential property in the Southeast Quadrant is under contract and is expected to close before year-end, but that the Fuqua project has been delayed indefinitely. He said the Fuqua contract expired.

Landlord Simon Property Group hasnt announced a fourth phase of St. Johns Town Center, although plans were filed and two of the tenants are on board.
Simon announced in February that RH Jacksonville, The Gallery at St. Johns Town Center, would open late this year, although the timing has changed. The site is cleared and the city is reviewing a foundation permit.
A South Carolina developer also confirmed it intends to bring an AC by Marriott hotel to the center, but did not have a timeline.
Both projects, along with a theater and more retail space, are designed in the fourth phase, although COVID-19 has stalled or ended some proposed commercial developments in Northeast Florida.

First Baptist Church announced Aug. 2 it will not pursue a plan to sell a majority of its Downtown campus and consolidate to The Hobson Block on West Church Street as offers dwindled to buy its 11.29-acre property amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
First Baptist Senior Pastor Heath Lambert told the congregation that six to eight large buyers that were interested in the property ended communication after the onset of the pandemic in March.
The decision also halts the churchs plan to demolish a 1927-era building at 125 W. Church St. to construct a new welcome center
Recent offers included smaller sections of the property and were about 25% of the value brokers advised First Baptist to accept, Lambert said.

Work is underway on a new four-story, 110,000-square-foot medical office building at Huffmeister Road and Hwy. 290 in Cypress. (Rendering courtesy NexCore Group)
Construction kicked off in early August on a new four-story, 110,374-square-foot medical office building that will be located on the HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress Campus at the intersection of Huffmeister Road and Hwy. 290 in Cypress.
The project is being built by Denver-based NexCore Group, a health care real estate developer. It will join the HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress Hospital at the site as well as another existing medical office building.
The development will span different medical disciplines and potentially include an outpatient endoscopy suite and an ambulatory surgery center, according to an Aug. 5 press release. Clinical office space will be available for independent specialty physicians, including those in general surgery, urology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, nephrology, family practice, ophthalmology, orthopedics, cardiology and podiatry.
The new building will be located on the west side of Huffmeister Road, north of an existing parking garage and where a street-level parking lot currently exists. Plans for the new building also include 364 parking spaces surrounding it, according to a NexCore site plan.
The building is being developed in partnership with area physicians, who will own and manage it upon completion, according to the release. Those involved with the building's development formed a partnership board of managers, which includes local physicians in Cy-Fair.
"There has been a tradition of physician ownership on the North Cypress campus for over a decade. The physician response to the opportunity to once again own and manage their own office building was incredible," said Dr. David Mack, a board member and an orthopedic surgeon in Cypress.
Jim Brown, CEO of the nearby HCA hospital, said he was excited to bring the project to the North Cypress campus.
"This development will foster our ongoing growth for many years to come," he said in a statement. "I am appreciative of our physician leaders, NexCore and HCA leadership for helping bring this project to fruition."
The new center is slated to open Oct. 1, 2021.
