February 2, 1987, the Mayor and Common Council approved an $81,000 CDBG rehabilitation loan to the Hispanic Chamber of of Commerce with a twenty (20) year term with interest accruing at five percent (5%) per annum. 0143/3-25-87 3-')..5-<(7 CI10 OF SAN BERNARDI~ - REQU~T FOR COUNCIL A~N STAFF REPORT On February 2, 1987, the Mayor and Common Council approved a CDBG rehabilitation loan to the Inland Empire Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (HCC) in the amount of $81,000. The principal of the loan was deferred with the Chamber required to make interest only payments for twenty (20) years, the term of the loan. At the end of twenty (20) years, the loan would be ftrolled overft if the Chamber continued to utilize the building as originally envisioned. The above action was taken subsequent to the sale of the building, a former City fire station, to the Chamber for one dollar ($1.00) and for the express purpose of allowing the Chamber to secure a CDBG rehabilitation loan from the City. Attached is a copy of a letter from George Aguilar, President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, to Councilwoman Esther Estrada. The letter indicates the desire of the Chamber's board of directors to forgo the loan because of monthly interest payments and an increase in the total amount of the loan. Although the letter does not provide appropriate background information relative to this project, staff is recommending that the Mayor and Common Council rescind its previous action approving the loan to the HCC. It should be noted, however, that significant costs have been incurred by the City in anticipation of the loan going through. Those costs are as follows: Structural Engineer Report: Property Appraisal: Plot Plan: Title Report: TRW: $1,000.00 $1,200.00 $ 450.00 $ 405.20 $ 40.00 $3,095.20 .

Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. ~G.~~ Kenneth J. Henderson Director of Community Development KJH/lab/0144 3/25/87 75-02M . "...'" GEOIIGE A.

The decision was based on the fact that the loan was not what we had agreed on. The new t.erIl8 placed on the loan made it inp)ssible for us to live with. We appreciate the work dale by you and others at City Hall, but the in::reaseof the loan anount for an estimteeS $35,000 to $81,000, plus the change of the deferred loan to a IItlI'1thly payment is UI'JolOI'kable. We felt that the buildiD;J after renovation under the city's plan would not be of nore benefit to the Olantler or the CXlIlIlUllity . ly, .
