COMMISSION MINUTES Date: June 5, 1995 - PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THR AGENDA "... Mike Hough, Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee member, local banker, and citizen felt that f'mancing the stadium was not a prudent use of public funds. ...... COMMISSION MEMBER CURLIN ARRIVED AT 3:52 P.M. Commissioner Curlin queried Mike Hough about the proposed fInancing based on his banking expertise. Mr. Hough predicted a budget defIcit in 1996-97 and opined that a f'mancing and ownership of the stadium by a private developer would be the ideal way to go. Citizen, Aaron Hodgdon, voiced concerns that the $13.5 million f'mancial package doesn't adequately reflects the total cost of the stadium construction. Jeff Wright, citizen, questioned the appropriateness and implication of the gambling revenues going towards the stadium. Citizen, Warner Hodgdon, suggested meeting with staff and key City officials to work out another source of f'mancing the Stadium. RS.2. BASEBAI.I.STADIUMFINANCING (Community DevelQpment Commi~ion) fIIII"'I'O -- Theform motion (made by Councilwoman Pope-Ludlam/seconded by Devlin) was still on the floor from this morning's session. Commission Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by Commission Member Devlin (for purpose of discussion) to adopt the form motion. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the negative shortfall for operating the stadium and its impact on the City's budget, the implications from the Possessory Interest Tax, projections of revenue, using the stadium for other events, and so forth. EDA Administrator, Timothy Steinhaus, clarified that the bond debt has nothing to do with the operating costs. The Agency is picking up the debt service on the bonds. He noted the Mayor has indicated that the Agency should proceed with the funding of the bonds; however, no money will be released for the construction of stadium until $2 million in private funds are received. Ray Salvador, Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, stated that the Parks & Recreation Department projects approximately $338,000 for operating/maintenance cost per year. The lease points worked out with the team, anticipates $300,000 coming into the City for the lease based on 2,000 attendance per game. ,..... Commission Member Hernandez made a substitute motion, seconded by Commission Member Curlin (for discussioTl) that staff be directed to meet with Mr. Hodgdon and appropriate staff members to consider an alternate means of financing; and that the matter return to the Community Development Commission meeting of June 19, 1995. -- JOINT REGULAR MEETING TCS:dle:mln\9SJunOS .7. .COMMISSION MINUfES Date: June 5, 1995 ---.. ..._-------"----------_._._~. No vote was taken. Mayor Minor stated if there is no fInancing decision made today, we will lose the stadium for sure. I!IIlIlI Timothy Steinhaus, Economic Development Agency Administrator, noted public and private financing has been looked at carefully and Mr. Hodgdon has never contacted the EDA about an alternate method during the research period. - Councilman Oberhelman noted there is still an opportunity to consider alternate fInancing. He was concerned that the form motion has a $2 million dollar hole in it. There has not been any discussion on the private fmancing. He felt the Commission should go forward with the bond refInancing today, and still look at other alternatives meanwhile. He recommended a more thorough discussion on the private ftnancing option which has been presented. Legal Counsel, Tim Sabo, Sabo & Green Law Offices, advised the form motion approval to proceed with the restructuring would start a complex process of analyzing all the bond issues. During this 45-60 day process, a restructuring of the indebtedness would be done and additional bonding capabilities will surface. COMMISSION MEMBER DEVLIN WAS EXCUSED AT 4:33 P.M. Commission Member Dr. Curlin asked Warner Hodgdon to share his plan as a third alternative. Warner Hodgdon expressed a desire to work together with staff to explain his plan, for the good of the community.

No vote was taken. COMMISSION MEMBER DEVLIN RETURNED AT 4:38 P.M. Commission Member Oberhelman made a substitute motion. seconded by Commission Member Miller that the Community Development Commission direct staff and Miller and Schroeder Financial, Inc., to prepare the necessary bond fmancing documents to implement the refmancing and the incurring of additional bonded indebtedness to provide fmandal benefIts to the Agency pursuant to the implementation of AB-1290 all subject to approval by the Commission at a subsequent meeting; that the construction of the baseball stadium be approved in an amount not-to-exceed $13,000,000; and that the matter of fmancing be determined in two weeks.
