JEDC
Executive Director Ron Barton spoke in favor of the revised authorization to allow
the developer additional time to sell the remaining units while beginning to
collect the REV grant based on the per square foot sales prices to date. AMEND/APPROVE 6-1 (Yarborough
opposed) 1. Removes 6 penthouse units from calculation
of average sales price per square foot. 2. Proposes to allow developer to begin
drawing REV grant payout based on current average sales price per square foot
of $233 and requires sale of remaining 12 units by 12/31/12. 3. Reduced REV grant would warrant developer
67.5% for years 1-4. 4. Places covenant restriction on remaining 12
units for future sales ensuring an average sales price per square foot for
the development of $229.99. 5. If developer is able to sell remaining
units by 12/31/12, the portion of the REV Grant that would have been received
had the developer met the original criteria will be paid out to the developer
over the number of years it takes developer to sell price restricted units. 6. If units remain unsold at 12/31/12, the
developer would be required to repay all grant payments made by the City. 7. Removes price restrictions placed on
remaining 12 units. 8. If units remain unsold at 12/31/12, the
developer would receive the reduced REV grant payout at the applicable
average sales price per square foot not to exceed 60%. |

Greger explained that the need for the emergency approval is to get the
available dollars put to work as quickly as possible to help stave off
foreclosures for those homeowners who qualify. The department’s experience has been that
the current $5,000 cap on assistance is insufficient to meet the needs of
some homeowners for appraisals, closing costs, escrow shortages, etc. Homeowners must participate in financial
literacy counseling and prove their ability to keep up with the refinanced
mortgage. R: Emergency/Approve EMERGENCY/APPROVE 5-1

Chris
Pearson of the Solid Waste Division explained that the request for emergency
is due to the fact that the previous lease for the facility expired at the
end of 2008. The City had a company
under contract to clean and restore the site but discharged the contractor
for non-performance and seized their bid bond. A second company has been hired to pick up
the work and restore the site. EMERGENCY/AMEND/APPROVE 6-0 Add
emergency language. |
The chairman announced that
the Finance Committee would be holding a shade meeting immediately after the
conclusion of the regular meeting in City Council Conference Room A for the
purpose of discussing collective bargaining issues.
The chairman also noted that
the administration had distributed copies of the Human Resource Division’s
quarterly report on the group health insurance procurement and invited the
members to review the document and direct any questions to Millie Reeves in the
HR Division.
There being no further business,
the meeting was adjourned at 3:40 p.m.
