Barbara J. Lindseth, Acting Director, Development Department, explained that staff prepared
two (2) plans for financing the stadium. Plan A financing would include the use of tax allocation bonds

balance of the loan would not occur until the final year of payment.

COMMISSION MEMBER NORINE MILLER RETURNED AT 3:44 P.M.
Timothy Steinhaus acknowledged the receipt of his letter. Legal Counsel Sabo is looking into
possible conflicts between public/private bonds. At this point they are comfortable with the rates being
proposed.
Barbara Lindseth addressed the Commission and reported on figures provided by Miller &
Schroeder on June 5. What was approved was to restructure and refinance the bonds with the new bonds.
The documents and resolutions are just now coming back. Based on figures by Miller & Schroeder, the
debt service on current bonds versus the restructured bonds and new additional debt, EDA was still
$400,000 a year lower with the additional debt for debt service. Even if you took new bonds out of there,
you could probably reduce it another $300,000 a year. Just on the restructured bonds, you would
probably look at another $700,000 a year savings without the new additional debt.

2. ROUNDING THIRD, LLC, AGENCY EXTENSION
(Community Development Commission)
Timothy C. Steinhaus, Administrator, Economic Development Agency, explained that this item
was continued from the Commission meeting of November 6, 1995, to determine whether or not
Rounding Third should be granted an extension on its contract with the Agency.
Commission Member Hernandez recommended that the Rounding Third Agreement be extended
for sixty (60) days.
Joe Levine, Representative, San Manuel Indian Bingo, believed that it was in the City's best
interest not to extend its agreement with Rounding Third. He felt the proposal submitted by the tribe far
exceeded the agreement with Rounding Third and requested the Commission review its proposal.
Commission Member Hernandez read portions of the agreement with Rounding Third,
emphasizing that the agreement noted that other proposals could not be considered until the current
agreement has expired.
--
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam questioned the amount of funding available from the recent
bond refinancing.
-"
Mr. Steinhaus stated that there was approximately $29 million available from the refinancing,
and indicated that another refinancing could be done in approximately three (3) to five (5) years. He also
noted that only $10 million from the refinancing had been allocated, and that was for the stadium.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam commented on previous attempts to have the tribe involved
with this project with no success. She also commented that her belief was that a card room would be
built within the City to assist with the costs of the stadium.
Commission Member Oberhelman reminded the Commission that a vote was taken on this
project with approval given to spend not-to-exceed $13 million on the stadium before there were any
plans for a card room in San Bernardino.
Commission Member Negrete stated that the City should continue with its plans to build the
stadium regardless of the agreement with Rounding Third or the tribe.
Commission Member Devlin commented on the upcoming election in March when citizens will
vote as to whether or not they want a card room in the City.

requesting Commission approval to extend the CDBG Float Loan of$3,150,000 with Harris' Company
for one year, with automatic one (1) year extensions not-to-exceed five (5) years. He stated that the loan
is backed by a letter of credit from the Agency.

improvements to its San Bernardino location and expectations to spend approximately $1 million on
exterior improvements before May 1, 1996.

(Community Development Commission)
(Councilwoman Pope-Ludlam's Recommendation)
Ronald E. Winkler, Director, Development Department, stated that Mr. Ari Miller, Developer,
sent a correspondence to the Agency requesting that certain action be taken on his loan with the Agency.
Ari Miller, Owner/Developer, University Village, explained that the construction loan on his
project in the amount of $1.4 million is due March 1, 1996. He stated that he has obtained permanent
financing on the loan contingent upon the Agency's second trust deed of $600,000 being paid in full.
Mr. Miller requested the Agency discount his $600,000 loan using a discount rate of9.2% and
authorize him an early pay-off of $370,000. He commented on the many obstacles he has had to
overcome while working on this project. He noted that the project is currently costing him $14,000 a
month.
-""
Mr. Miller stated that the benefit to the early pay-off of the Agency loan would allow the Agency
to be repaid three (3) years earlier the expected and prevent his first trust deed from default. He also
stated that the completed project would increase jobs and sales tax in the City.
--
Timothy C. Steinhaus, Administrator, Economic Development Agency, noted that in addition to
the $600,000 loan from the Agency for this project, the Agency also contributed $650,000 to this project
in the form of a grant.
Commission Member Oberhelman commented on the amount of funds the Agency has invested
in this project. He recommended that more information be obtained on this project before a decision is
made.
Mr. Miller spoke of his efforts to locate businesses in the shopping center with little success. He
stated that he is working with Steward and Associates to lease space at his site.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam expressed concern regarding the need to assist this
developer with the project before the project is in default. She commented that the recession added to
the problems that many developers are facing with shopping centers.
Mr. Steinhaus noted that staff had not had sufficient time to complete a thorough analysis ofMr.
Millers' proposal. He also stated that additional information, including an appraisal was needed from
Mr. Miller to complete that analysis. He recommended that this matter be continued for two (2) weeks.

(Community Development Commission)
Ronald E. Winkler, Director, Development Department, discussed staffs position regarding this
item, and recommended that the form motion be approved. He commented on the developer's request to
discount the note and stated that the note had already been discounted approximately $520,000 because it
was a non-interest bearing note.
,.....'..

Commission Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Commission Member Devlin~ to
reject the offered payments totaling $401,000 as payment in full of the Agency's $600,000 note, and that
any balance remaining after applying payments received on the note be carried as secondary financing
against the property or other assets owned by the developer. (No vote taken).
Terry Goggin, Attorney representing Ari Miller, stated that he worked diligently to develop a
proposal that would insure that the Agency's $600,000 was repaid. He believed that the new proposal
would completely pay off the Agency's note.
Mr. Goggin discussed the new proposal submitted indicating that the first trust deed would be
secured by three (3) parcels and the second trust deed by nine (9) parcels. He stated that the loan would
be paid in the year 2000 with no interest. He felt this proposal was far superior then what was previously
discussed by staff. He also stated that the proposal requires the developer to sign a personal guarantee.
Mr. Goggin also indicated that per staffs request, that if the three (3) parcels appraise for less
than $600,000, any net proceeds from refinancing would go toward making up the difference; any net
cash flow would also go toward making up the difference.

Mr. Goggin believed the parcels were worth approximately $250,000 a piece. He stated that the
parcels in question were parcels "H", "J" and "D".

Timothy C. Steinhaus, Administrator, Economic Development Agency, clarified the parcels as
"4", "6" and "9".
Commission Member Oberhelman questioned several components of the proposal. He clarified
previous comments made by the attorney such as the entire note being secured by three (3) parcels
instead of the $600,000 with the note being due and payable in the year 2000, interest free.
Mr. Goggin indicated that the value of the project was approximately $2.2 million. He also
stated that the project was 95% incumbered. He explained that the project had been seriously diminished
due to the project taking place across from his project. He stated that if the project was to continue, it
would need some assistance; otherwise it could end up in foreclosure.
Mr. Steinhaus noted that at present, the $600,000 is due in the year 1999, with interest payments
to begin in 1998.
Commission Member Curlin reminded the Commission that the developer was willing to place a
personal guarantee on the note in the event there is a shortfall. He questioned if this was an additional
commitment or if it was part of the original agreement.
Mr. Goggin stated that it was an additional commitment by the developer.
~
Mr. Winkler stated that he had reviewed the developers financial statements which placed him at
a net worth of $350,000 to $400,000. He reminded the Commission the refinancing would reduce the
developers net worth due to the new loan obligation.

only be able to obtain permanent financing for approximately $1 million - $1.2 million with no surplus.
