Further, it is requested that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Release and Satisfaction of Agreements upon receipt by the City of the agreed-upon payments in full. BACKGROUND: The City, through the Housing and Community Development Division, administers various federally funded affordable housing programs. The Multi-family Rehabilitation programs provide the financial assistance necessary to undertake rehabilitation of buildings in order to provide decent, safe and sanitary affordable rental housing for low and moderate income individuals. The City has offered this financial assistance for the past ten (10), years resulting in the successful renovation of over 1,000 units of rental housing. The funds for these programs come directly to the City from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The guidelines for these programs require that the buildings be maintained in rental use for a specified period of time. The City's Subsidy Agreements include stipulations requiring repayment to the City if the owner fails to perform requirements of the Agreement. In the event of a default, the federal regulations provide that: a) the subsidy amount be repaid in full if the project contains 25 or more units and, b) if a project contains less than 25 units, only a prorated portion of the subsidy must be repaid. (The regulations provide the formula for repayment.) 1 AGENDA ITEM r-~-A , DATE~ COMMISSION MEMO JUNE 1, 1994 PAGE 2 Under the Rental Rehabilitation Program (RRP) , the owner must maintain the units in rental use for a 10 year period and may not convert to condominiums. Failure to do so results in repayment of all or a portion of the original subsidy. ANALYSIS: The owners of two (2) buildings that were renovated through this program were notified that the projects were in default of the obligations under their respective agreements. Staff from the City's Housing and Community Development Division and the City Attorney's office have successfully negotiated the return of the full amount of the subsidy payments as provided under the agreements and as provided by the federal regulations. The owners' representative has cooperated fully in resolving this matter, and is anxious to comply with the repayment requirements. The specific projects and the repayment terms are as follows: . Windsor Plaza Apartments - 1320 Drexel Avenue: On March 13, 1985, the City of Miami Beach entered into an agreement entitled: "MULTI -UNIT RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION LOAN AGREEMENT", with Windsor Plaza Associates, Ltd., a Florida Limited Partnership (owner) , and with the lender, International Savings and Loan Association in the amount of $143,06l. The City, through the federally funded Multi-Family Rental Rehabilitation Program (RRP) , provided funds to rehabilitate the referenced property in the amount of $143,061. The terms for this repayment are articulated in the attached letter from the owner's attorney. The owner failed to maintain this building in its rental use and proposes to convert to condominiums. Therefore, since this project contains more than 25 units, the full amount of the subsidy will be repaid to the City on or before July 15, 1994. . Esplanade Apartments - 934 16th Street/1569 and 1575 Michigan Avenue: On October 25, 1988, the City of Miami Beach entered into an agreement entitled: "SUBSIDY AGREEMENT", with Esplanade Associates, Ltd., a Florida Limited Partnership (Owner), and with the lender, Pan American Mortgage Corp. The Agreement relates to the property located at 900 16th Street which was funded through the Federal CDBG Program as well as 934 l6th Street/ 1569 and 1575 Michigan Avenue, funded through the RRP program. (Separate buildings were funded through different federal programs - both CDBG and HUD-authorized RRP funds were used for the renovation of these properties) . The RRP program, which has a federal prohibition against condominium conversion for a 10 year period, provided financing in the amount of $61,947. The owner of this property has filed a petition in Bankruptcy Court under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act. Filing such a petition constitutes a default of the City's Agreement. Therefore, since this project contains less than 25 units, only a prorated portion of the subsidy, in the amount of $18,083.10, will be repaid to the City on or before August 1, 1994. The terms for this repayment are articulated in the attached letter from the General Partner. (The CDBG provisions of the subsidy have been fully satisfied.) " - COMMISSION MEMO JUNE 1, 1994 PAGE 3 The owners have agreed to cure the defaults under each of the Agreements by repaying the funds to the City as required by the federal regulations. Upon receipt of the payments for the above described projects, the City will provide the standard Releases of Lien to the owners, which will evidence satisfaction of the owner's obligation thereunder. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that the Mayor and City commission adopt the attached Resolutions authorizing settlement of defaults under the Mul ti _ family Rehabil i tation Program Subsidy Agreements and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the attached Release and Satisfaction of Loan Agreements, upon receipt by the city of the agreed-upon payments in full RMC/STP/me Attachments 3
