PUBLIC HEARING - 303 WEST THIRD STREET - LOAN
AGREEMENT (R31)
Executive Director Van Osdel submitted a staff report dated August 2, 2000,
regarding 303 West Third Street - Owner participation Agreement, Loan Agreement,
HUD 108 Financing.
Mayor Valles opened the hearing.
Mr. Dave Gondek, Sabo and Green, explained that the Economic Development
Initiative (EDI) component of $344,000 was intended to be a special grant component
attached to the project in order to make it economically viable. Part of the discussions
in the use and application of the EDI grant was to provide for interest waiver on the
$344,000 EDI component and will be repaid to the Economic Development Agency and
the City at the time of recordation of the borrower's construction loan. It is expected
that the City and the Agency will recover the EDI Grant within 18 months after the
close of escrow. Once the EDI Grant proceeds are repaid by the borrower, those
monies become program income and can be used by the City for other qualified CDBG
programs and projects. Part of the EDI Grant requires the City and the Agency to
come up with a qualifying special Economic Development project and the 303 West
Third Street acquisition, renovation, and reuse satisfies federal requirements, and
without the project, the community would not have the benefit of the EDI Grant.
