The first lot, a vacant land parcel at the southeast corner of Third and "I" Streets, may be acquired in the future by Caltrans, in connection with the widening of Interstate 215. For this reason, it is not an attractive acquisition prospect for the Agency at this time. The other property, a parcel of improved real estate located at 184 South "E" Street, is seen as having value to the Agency for two (2) reasons. First, it would increase our holdings in the Central City South Overlay Zone, where a gradual land assemblage has been taking place for years. Secondly, it would increase the size of the old Harmon Motors property (see attached plat map), which the Agency currently owns, and which would make an excellent future retail center location. Staff has negotiated a purchase price of $298,000 for the second parcel, from which will be deducted the $24,000 balance of a CDBG loan which was used some time ago to demolish a building on the Third and "I" Streets property. Thus, the net negotiated purchase price would be $274,000. Goodwill has agreed to a $100,000 down payment, with an additional $100,000 in principal plus $8,700 in interest (computed as five percent (5%) per annum on the unpaid balance) payable one (1) year from the close of escrow. The final $74,000 principal payment plus $3,700 in interest would be due two (2) years from the closing. The total, then, of principal and interest would come to $286,400. It should be noted that the Agency plans to demolish the structures on the property. These consist of an approximately 5,600 square foot retail building and an approximately 2,500 square foot metal shed building. The costs of demolition and possible asbestos removal are unknown at this time, but would clearly be in addition to the acquisition price. The funding will come from bond proceeds, but there are inadequate bond funds in the Central City Redevelopment Project area where the subject property is located. Because of this situation, mutual benefit resolutions must be adopted. Copies of these are attached for your reference. A final reason to approve the acquisition is that it would help Goodwill's cash flow during these difficult economic times. It is well known that Goodwill conducts a number of charitable activities which benefit the entire community. The sale proceeds would help to ensure the continuation of these noteworthy programs.
