Minutes May 13, 2013 — Regular Meeting June 12, 2013 — Regular Meeting 3. MATTERS FROM STAFF OF THE ROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR AGENCY A. Chamber Loan Agreement On October 8, 2012, the Oversight Board approved modifications to the loan agreement between the former Community Development Commission and the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce (Chamber). Under the modifications, the first payment, due on July 1, 2012, was amortized over the subsequent three years of the term without any penalties or interest. Per the attached letter, the Chamber is requesting that the payments due July 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014 be suspended and one lump sum payment be made on July 1, 2015 for the entire $25,000 amount. The requested modifications are permitted under the Health and Safety Code since the debt is not being forgiven and the final payment period is not being extended. Additionally, the loan will continue to be secured by the real property owned by the Chamber and used as their offices. The staff reports from the September 10, 2012 and October 8, 2012 meetings have been attached for reference. Page 2 of 3 ROSEMEAD OVERSIGHT BOARD MEETING AGENDA Auaust 21. 2013 Recommendation: That the Oversight Board provide direction regarding the requested loan modification. If the Oversight Board is willing to approve the modifications as requested, the Oversight Board needs to approve Resolution 2013 -0009, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION APPROVING REVISED TERMS FOR THE PROMISSORY NOTE WITH THE ROSEMEAD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DATED SEPTEMBER 14, 2010 B. Consideration of a Loan Agreement Between the City and Successor Agency At the June 12, 2013 Oversight Board meeting, the Board approved the Master Bond Agreement along with several contracts in order to permit the Successor Agency to move forward with bond funded projects. On August 9, 2013 the Successor Agency received a letter, attached, from the Department of Finance (DOF) denying the request to immediately include the contracts and Master Bond Agreement on the existing ROPS for the July — December 2013 period. However, the DOF did specifically state that they were not objecting to the Successor Agency's proposal to use the City as the contractor under the Master Bond Agreement or the individual contracts with vendors for the various projects. The DOF also noted in their letter that the City has the ability to utilize the provisions of Health and Safety Code section 34173 (h) to provide a loan from the City to the Successor Agency for the capital improvement projects, which would be repaid by the existing bond proceeds. Due to the necessity to expedite some of the projects, especially those such as the Public Plaza that have been "shovel ready' for more than two years, the City Council will consider a loan agreement at their regularly scheduled meeting on September 10, 2013. Staff is seeking direction from the Oversight Board in anticipation of this loan agreement to ensure that all questions and concerns may be adequately addressed prior to the drafting of the agreement. It is the City's intent to award the contract for the construction of the Public Plaza in September along with expediting the construction documents necessary to complete the Rosemead Community Center expansion and improvements. Recommendation: That the Oversight Board provide direction and guidance regarding the preparation of loan documents between the City of Rosemead and the Successor Agency. 4. ADJOURNMENT The next regular Rosemead Oversight Board meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Page 3 of 3
