AGENCY CONSIDERATION:
5. 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 (RA) — File R-434
Stephanie Lovette, Senior Specialist, reported they are continuing along the path of acquiring 162-172
Belvedere and are on schedule for the end of October. She presented one set of documents which needed to
be brought to the Agency, i.e. the $750,000 Loan Agreement with BRIDGE Housing Corporation. This
represents $250,000 annual appropriation that was made for the last three years. The Loan Agreement is set
up to work with all of the other financing; it is basically a grant but because the Tax Credit Allocation
Committee required it to be a loan it is called a Loan and has an interest rate of 1 %. It is a 55 year loan; the
Loan Agreement also requires that the contractor BRIDGE uses on the project be paid prevailing wage.
Chairman Boro stated he was pleased to announce to the Agency that a Press Conference was held in the
Council Chambers this afternoon. Representatives from BRIDGE, the Marin Community Foundation and
Westamerica Bank, along with the City were present to talk about this project and it was truly a great meeting
of the four interest groups to make this particular project work in the Canal. He thanked Stephanie, stating she
had done a great job for the City.
Vice -Chair Heller stated it looked as if it was going to be a long involved process and asked if Stephanie had
any idea about when it would be completed and everyone will have been moved back in.
Ms. Lovette reported it is a long involved process, noting that construction will commence probably in late
Winter or early Spring, and go through the Fall of next year. She estimated they are aiming for the end of
2001.
Member Cohen brought up a wage issue, stating when there is an arrangement like this the question can
arise of who is responsible to answer questions about certified payroll, which goes along with the California
Labor Code on prevailing wage. There have been experiences in the past where people made requests for
this information, which under that provision should be public record, but could not get this because it had not
been worked out. He suggested that maybe before this, and some other projects are undertaken, there should
be a policy outlining where people can go to get information about the proper payment of prevailing wage, up
to and including certified payrolls. Member Cohen noted he did not know if this issue needed to be resolved
this evening.
Nancy Mackie, Economic Development Director, commented that the Redevelopment Agency would work
out a system whereby the payroll records would be available in her office for anyone who wished to see them.
Member Miller moved and Vice -Chair Heller seconded, to adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 2000-31 — 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.
