The BEDI is a key competitive grant program that HUD administers to stimulate and promote economic and community development and is designed to assist cities with the redevelopment of abandoned, idled, and underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion and redevelopment is burdened by real or potential environmental contamination. From HUD's website, "the purpose of the BEDI program is to spur the return of Brownfields to productive economic use through financial assistance to public entities in the redevelopment of Brownfields, and enhance fie security or improve the viability of a project financed with Section 108-guaranteed loan authority. Therefore BEDI grants must be used in conjunction with a new Section 108-guaranteed loan commitment." Currently, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino (the "Agency") administers the City of San Bernardino's (the "City") CDBG program. The CDBG program includes the use of HUD's Section 108-guaranteed loan program. In FY 1988-1999, the City obtained a $7 million HUD Section 108 loan commitment for the financing of the 20-Plex CinemaStar movie theater in Downtown. In 2008, the movie theater closed. In 2009,the Agency was successful in obtaining a new $4.76 million HUD Section 108 loan commitment to upgrade and renovate the vacated movie theater. In July 2010, the Agency refinanced the balance ($3.8 million) of the original $7 million HUD Section 108 loan. These actions taken are part of the City's efforts to revitalize Downtown via the implementation of the Downtown Core Vision Plan ("Vision Plan"). As part of the Vision Plan, areas targeted for renovation, improvements, and new construction include the vacant movie theater, the California Theatre, surface parking, various offices in and around the movie theater, and the Agency's vacant parcels in front of the movie theater; these areas have been identified as "Theater Square." The redevelopment objective for Theater Square is to create an entertainment and dining district that would support the California Theatre and a new movie theater, thereby becoming the first development in the revitalization of the Downtown. With approximately $3.3 million of remaining HUD Section 108 loan capacity and a $660,000 BEDI grant, these funds would be used to enhance the public itiftastructure of Theater Square, including street access and design,building seismic remediation, public parking (via a parking structure), support of the development of mixed uses, and address Brownfields issues. 2010,09-16-10PM�.�I.N.Sld A,..-BED]SR,&�� COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 08/16/10 Agenda Item Number: Economic Development Agency Staff Report PB Americas, Inc. -Professional Services Agreement Page 2 CURRENT ISSUE: In response to the federal Fiscal Year 2009-2010 BEDI NOFA and with HUD indications that BEDI funding may no longer be available in the future, the Agency has prepared, for the approval of the Commission, a professional services agreement with PB America, Inc. (PBA), to complete a BEDI grant application, and to coordinate and interface with the preparation of a new $3.3 million HUD Section 108 loan application. These funds, if received would be used primarily for the development of a parking structure, related ground floor retail and service uses, Brownfields site remediation, and seismic enhancements to the California Theatre. The attached "Concept Plan" indicates the location of possible parking structure with related retail and service uses. Additional consideration for these funds may include needed seismic retro-fitting for the California Theatre and development of vacant Agency owned property in front of the movie theater along with a public plaza area for dining/entertainment venues. PBA's Strategic Development Team is experienced in the BEDI and the HUD Section 108 loan programs and is capable in preparing a BEDI funding application as required within the short submission time frame. The $34,000 not to exceed cost includes the preparation of the BEDI grant application, monitoring of the grant's review process, and coordination/interface with the preparation of anew $3.3 million HUD.Section 108 loan application. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The action of preparing a BEDI grant application and the approval of a professional services agreement does not meet the definition of a "project" under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA). FISCAL IMPACT: There is no adverse fiscal impact to the City's General Fund by the preparation of a BEDI grant application and the approval of a professional services agreement with PBA. The $34,000 not to exceed cost of this project is an Agency FY 2010-2011 budgeted "Professional Services" line item. Account Budgeted Amount: $0.00 Balance as of: Aueust 10, 2010 I Balance after approval of this item: $0.00 RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Development Commission adopt the attached Resolution.
