CITY MANAGER'S AGENDA

I. REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR CLAFLIN SCHOOL:
Approval is requested to revise the current lease agreement with
Friends of Historic Claflin to allow for the conversion of the school into 44
(*/-) units of affordable housing. Staff is recommending that the lease
agreement and any other agreements between the parties be revised as follows:
- Change the scope of the project to include the conversion of the
school into 44 (+/-) units of affordable housing, with a portion of the school
to remain set-aside for educational programs and to display the school?s
history.
- Allow FHC to enter into an agreement, the terms of which shall be approved by
the City, with Developer to carry out the redevelopment utilizing Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits and Historic Tax Credits.
- In a separate letter of understanding address to the City, Developer will
confirm that the previous Memorandum of Agreement it entered into with FHC on
February 8, 2017 is no longer of any force or effect. In that letter, Developer
shall also assume full financial responsibility for any loss it incurs as a
result of any expenditures it makes for the benefit of the project in the
event that the project cannot proceed because the Federal Government does not
lift the deed restriction or because Developer is unsuccessful in obtaining the
tax credits necessary for the project.
- The current lease between the City and FHC will be extended to 45 years due
to the requirements of the tax credit programs.
- The amendment to the lease will also provide that the lessee, FHC agrees to
submit annual audits prepared by a CPA, financial statements and tax returns as
well as an outline of its educational programming for the year and that an
update of the results of such required reporting will be made to the Council
annually.
- The amended lease will contain a mechanism for replacing the current
non-profit lessee with another non-profit or governmental entity in the event
that lessee is non-compliant with the terms of the lease.
