Page 2 <br /> • Primary Issues to Consider <br /> The HRA has the following primary issues to consider regarding this issue. <br /> 0 What is the amortization schedule for repayment? <br /> The amortization schedule as proposed by the Finance Department is <br /> attached to this report. The significant aspects of this schedule include an <br /> immediate payment of$75,000 from the HRA cash reserves, and the <br /> payment of$225,000 on July 1, 1997, after sale of the property to the <br /> developer (The Chuba Company). In addition, the HRA agreed to budget <br /> $37,000 for a payment on this loan in 1997. <br /> It is projected that approximately $36,000 be paid by the HRA in 1998 <br /> and an additional $36,000 be paid in 1999 for total repayment of the debt. <br /> 0 What is the effect on the HRA's cash balance and future budgets? <br /> The HRA cash balance as of September 30, 1996, was $109,000. This <br /> would be the source of funds for the initial payment of$75,000. <br /> The primary assumption in the proposed loan repayment schedule is the <br /> payment of$225,000 on July 1, 1997. This assumes the HRA will close on <br /> • the sale of the property to the developer on this date. Although every <br /> effort will be made to complete this transaction on July 1, 1997, it is <br /> foreseeable that issues may arise regarding timing which will affect this <br /> date. <br /> Staff recommends that the HRA make it clear in its discussion of this <br /> issue that the $225,000 payment cannot be made until such a time as the <br /> HRA closes on the sale of the properties to the developer. <br /> Future HRA budgets will include a line item for payment of the King and <br /> Main obligation. <br /> Alternatives <br /> The HRA has the following alternatives regarding this issue. <br /> 1. Approve the action as recommended by staff. <br /> 2. Continue the item for additional information. With this alternative it is <br /> important to keep in mind that for future budgeting purposes, the HRA <br /> • should take action on this item prior to the end of 1996. <br />
