LEONCINI, Agency Secretary CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AGENDA ITEM NO.: 5 MEETING DATE: October 2, 2000 San Rafael Redevelopment Agency Agenda Report Department: Redevelopment Prepared by:_ Initials: Nanc y ackle, Econo c evelopment Director Rod Gould, Executive Director SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A $ 750,000 LOAN AGREEMENT WITH CANAL HOUSING ASSOCIATES (BRIDGE HOUSING) FOR THE ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION OF 162-172 BELVEDERE STREET ("CAHIP") AND APPROVAL OF RELATED DOCUMENTS. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Agency adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Economic Development Director to execute a $ 750,000 loan agreement with Canal Housing Associates (BRIDGE Housing) for the acquisition and rehabilitation of 162-172 Belvedere Street ("CAHIP") and approval of related documents. BACKGROUND: The Agency approved the Canal Area Housing Improvement Program ("CAHIP") in 1998 and allocated $250,000 annually to the program. The $750,000 loan represents three years of allocations for the program. Agency funds will be utilized to assist BRIDGE Housing Corporation to acquire, rehabilitate and manage 162-172 Belvedere Street, a 26 -unit building located between Medway Road and Alto Street, across from the bowling alley. Non-profit ownership will assure that; rents will remain affordable for the life of the project, overcrowded conditions will be eliminated, and the buildings will be well maintained. The total project costs, including acquisition, rehabilitation and relocation costs are currently estimated at $6.5 Million. The estimated cost includes approximately $800,000 for temporary and permanent relocation that will be necessary to rehabilitate the units and reduce overcrowding within the units. FOR AGENCY SECRETARY ONLY File No.: Agency Meeting: Disposition: ANALYSIS: Financial Provisions of the Agency Loan Agreement The loan interest rate will be 1% and the term is fifty-five years. We have structured the Agency's contribution as a loart, rather than a grant, to meet the tax credit requirements. The principal amount of the loan will be paid from residual receipts on the project. BRIDGE will supply annual financial statements on the property operations including the residual receipt calculation. It is not anticipated that there will be any residual receipts. The Agency has the same arrangement on the Centertown Ground Lease. The loan will be subordinate to the following: Westamerica Construction Loan to be funded with tax exempt bond proceeds $3,591,000 Marin Community Foundation 1,500,000 Non -Financial Provisions of the Agency Loan Agreement The Agency has the right to approve the construction schedule and the plans and specifications. In addition, the Agency must approve any individual change order over $10,000 or any changes with a cumulative cost of $25,000. Prevailing wage will be required for all construction contracts. (Section 3.8). Pacific Relocation Consultants, through BRIDGE, will provide monthly reports on relocation activities. Agency staff must approve draws against Agency funds for relocation activities. FISCAL IMPACT: The Agency has allocated $250,000 annually since FY 1998-99 to this program and the majority of the funds remain unspent. The Agency made one $40,000 payment to BRIDGE in July to fund the second deposit on the building. The total payment to BRIDGE will be reduced by this $40,000. The Agency funds will be placed in escrow and only released when the property is transferred to BRIDGE.

Trustor shall not use, generate, manufacture, store or dispose of on, under, or about the Property or transport to or from the Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, including without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances," hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," or "toxic substances" under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Hazardous Materials") except such of the foregoing as may be customarily kept and used in and about multifamily residential property. Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written notice of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above hereinafter referred to a "Hazardous Materials Claims"); and (iii) Trustor's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as "border -zone property" under the provision of California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq. or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Materials Law. Beneficiary shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims and to have its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by Trustor. Trustor shall indemnify and hold harmless Beneficiary and its councilmembers, supervisors, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential damages; (b) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (c) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with clauses (a) and (b), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Trustor shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous 141\01\136546.1 Materials on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgement, impair the value of the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor shall notify Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either (1) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Trustor establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to by Beneficiary. The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736. In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is enviromnentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the rate specified in the Note until paid, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be 141\01\136546.1 9 due and payable to the Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.

Section 7.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may: (a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Default (as defined below) hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such Default or pursuant to such Notice of Default and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale; (b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof, (c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the Security to be sold 141\01\136546.1 10 ("Notice of Default and Election to Sell"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in the Official Records of Marin County; or (d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing all or any portion of the obligations secured hereby, or provided by law.

Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, the Beneficiary shall give notice to the Trustee (the "Notice of Sale") and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which shall be deemed to constitute evidence that the unpaid principal amount of the Note is immediately due and payable), and such receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee may require. (a) Upon receipt of such notice from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and Election to Sell and after Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said Notice of Sale, whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient and in such order as it may determine unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale. (b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other amounts owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to Trustor. (c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new Notice of Sale. Section 7.5 Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, shall have the right to 141 \01\1 36546.1 11 apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or apart thereof), and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated. Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Section 7.7 No Waiver. (a) No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by the Beneficiary to or any breach by the Trustor in the performance of the obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the part of the Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default by the Trustor. (b) If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security or the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents, (v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (iv) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any other obligation of the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or any maker, co- signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor shall any such act or omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by the Beneficiary shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby. 141\01\136546.1 12 Section 7.8 Suits to Protect the Security. The Beneficiary shall have power to (a) institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Security and the rights of the Beneficiary as may be unlawful or any violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) preserve or protect its interest (as described in this Deed of Trust) in the Security, and (c) restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement for compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security thereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of the Beneficiary. Section 7.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Trustor, its creditors or its property, the Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by the Trustor hereunder after such date.
