CC - Item 5B - Loan to the Rosemead CDC• • E M ~, 5 O ' '4 ~~ ~ ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL ~~..~ '~ STAFF REPORT ,,~,~ RFL)gA~(E:J ' TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER ~~~~..- DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2008 SUBJECT: ADVANCE OF $3,055,000 FOR A LOAN TO THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SUMMARY On June 10, 2008 the Rosemead Community Development Commission ("RCDC") held a regular budget meeting. At that meeting, by a unanimous vote, the RCDC Commissioners approved the budget totaling $5,544,450. Subsequently, it became necessary for the RCDC to purchase a parcel of real property in order to complete a redevelopment project. Inasmuch as the RCDC does not have enough cash to purchase the property, it is necessary for the City to loan RCDC the cash to make the purchase. The details of the property purchase can be found in a RCDC staff report presented at the RCDC meeting held on 10/28/08. This report is to request an advance of $3,055,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolution which will provide an advance of $3,055,000 to the RCDC and direct staff to execute the loan documents between the City and RCDC. ANALYSIS The loan will reduce the unreserved, undesignated fund balance in the City's General Fund and make it possible for the RCDC to execute an agreement with a major retail store. It is expected that the store will return a material increase to the City's Sales Tax revenue. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process.
