Kenneth Henderson, Executive Director, explained that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (RUD) strongly suggested that staff competitively procure service providers for the $43,000 awarded to the Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP). Consequently, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP). Several agencies responded by providing information relative to their prospective shelters. The submitted information and related records were reviewed and analyzed by staff and the Homeless Ad~Hoc Committee which resulted in the said recommendation. . Councilman Hemandez expressed concems of the growing number of homeless families/individuals and questioned how the utilization of monies would be allocated to alleviate said problem. He felt the allocation of funds was a band aid approach to handling a severe problem.

(lIayor and C~ Council) Council Mem~er Minor made a motion, seconded by Council Member Miller to approve the awarding of Fiscal Year 1991/1992 Emergency Shelter Grant Program funds totalling $43,000 to the Salvation Army in the amount of $23,000 and to the Frazee Community Center in the amount of $20,000 respectively.

SAK _nnnlO OIll1'IED SCHOOL DISTRICT - DlM&IaOB SCHOOL REOUEST FOR FIlWICIAL ASSISTAKClI: Timothy Steinhaus, Economic Development Agency Administrator, said this proposal was not recommended by the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee due to unresolved questions regardins the project's eligibility. On May 20, 1991 staff was directed to identify an alternative fundins source for the Emmerton School proposal. Mr. Steinhaus further indicated that the form motion requested the Mayor and Common Council approve the use of Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO) Residual funds in the amount of twenty-thousand ($20,000) for the fundins request submitted by Emmerton Elementary School. Councilwoman Pope-Ludlam said she was against approval of said motion because the Council has not: 1) been given an account ins of bond refinancing; 2) contributed input on the disbursement of funds; 3) been informed of how much money is left; 4) had the opportunity to set priorities for the spendins of funds. Kenneth Henderson, Executive Director, gave a detailed explanation of the process used to obtain funds and clarified that there were two (2) separate sources used to describe Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO) monies. The source of money recommended was from the CMO residual funds received prior to the sale of the mortgage revenue bonds and not the bond proceeds portion. Furthermore, Mr. Henderson stated that various reports regard ins the current use of encumbered and unencumbered bond proceeds was submitted at the recent Budget Retreat and are available for review. Council Member Estrada said she requested a day be set. aside durins the Budget Retreat to review the financial reports and potential prOblems of the project areas so that the Commission would have been better braced on the overall status of the project areas and the agencies. That did not occur. She recommended that henceforth, staff include on the Redevelopment Committee agenda a review of at least two of those project areas per meetins.

Henderson, Executive Director, reported that Gene Wood met with Mark Schurgin and Nick Bush on May 14, 1991, whereby Mr. Schurgin again stated his desire for the Development Department to guarantee or enhance the bonds held by Chase Bank, with Chase discounting the bonds by 10-15:1: of the current face value. If Chase agrees to discount the bonds, Mr. Schurgin suggested the savings of approximately $750,000 be used either to pay the notes held by the Development Department, be used for low/income housing, or be used for any other project the City deemed to be appropriate. Kenneth Henderson said that on May 31, 1991, staff received word that Chase had acted to extend the bonds and received a formal request from their bond counsel to extend the bonds. However, staff recommendation at this point is still to deny the request for credit enhancement. If in fact, Chase is able to work something out with the Agency and with Schurgin Development Company reconsideration will be given, but at present there is no information that would lead staff to change its recommendations. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the potential risk for Schurgin Development if the request was denied and bankruptcy ramification issues. Mr. Henderson said since Chase has agreed to extend the bonds for another six montha it must be formally approved by the Council. The request was received and will be brought back to Council at the next regularly scheduled meeting. (lIayor and COBIan Council) Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by counciiMember Reilly to deny the request submitted by Schurgin Development relative to the issuance by the Development Department of a credit enhancement for the Central City Promenade Bonds.

COllVBRTIOIl Aim VISITORS _AU Timothy Steinhaus said the Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB) and Agency Administration have been in negotiations to find an equitable solution to comply with the Council/Commission's adoption of resolutions which included the CVB into the EDA. An agreement has been composed that still gives the CVB latitude of being a non-profit organization, keep staffs separate, and allows the EDA to oversee the CVB's budget and operations and to eliminate confusion and duplication of work items. The agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and Redevelopment Committee.

IWUWD V&T.T.1N DEVELOPIIKBr AGEBCY FJW&WCIRG Timothy Sabo, special counsel, summarized the memorandum dated May 30, 1991 and backup information for the Commission which described the manner in which the administrative expenses and redevelopment activities of the IVDA may be financed with tax allocation notes issued by the Redevelopment Agency (Development Department) without pledging tax increment generated by any of the Agency's Redevelopment Project Areas. Staff recommends that the Agency issue the bonds and release monies on an "as-needed" basis to the IVDA for ongoing expenses and to repay the County in a dollar amount yet to be determined. Any potential financial exposure of the Agency will be limited by the fact that under the loan agreement with the IVDA and the Agency, not all the bond proceeds will be turned over to the IVDA upon issuance. The Agency will essentially control disbursements by the IVDA through limiting the amount of bond proceeds and the nature of the proposed expenditures to be paid by the IVDA with the bond proceeds. Discussion ensued regarding the other IVDA members and their level of participation. Lorraine Velarde reported that the Mayor met with both Loma Linda and Colton and they were suppose to get conceptual feedback from their councils. She reminded the Commission that a division of proportionate shares would reveal that Loma Linda and Colton's share is leas than 5% - 8%, whereas the City is more than 77%. COIMISSIOlUDl POPB-LUDLAII WAS EXCUSED AT 11:54 A.M.. MAYOR W. R. HOLCOMB ARRIVED AT 11:55 A.M. COIMISSIOlUDl POPB-LUDLAII IlJ5YUJaIUW AT 11:57 A.M. Mayor Holcomb supported the City taking a leadership role and felt it would be a prudent financial and strategic opportunity. Commission Member Estrada agreed and suggested the IVDA Board provide a written request for assistance which acknowledged that Colton and Loma Linda concurred with same. The Commission was reminded that funds would be cut off as of June 30, 1991 and that only conceptual approval was necessary to proceed with conditions at this point. Finalization of all necessary viewpoints would be forwarded at a later date. (Community Developaent C~ssion) Commission Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Commission Member Pope-Ludlam to approve in concept the issuance of tax allocation bonds to finance the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) administrative expenses and redevelopment activities and authorize staff to proceed wit~ the preparation of all necessary and appropriate documentation.
