with city staff to satisfy various issues raised by the investor and the tax attorney. an issue raised by the tax attorney is a true debt tax which is analysis of the cash flow from the project that shows an ability for the project to repay the loan by year '35 5. the annual rent combined with the 3% interest rate will prohibit the project's ability to [speaker not understood] debt tax. therefore, i'm here before you today to ask for a reduction in the interest rate from 3% to 1.46%, which is just low enough to demonstrate repayment in year 55. the city's financial advisor reviewed the numbers and the requested interest rate ~ is determined that -- has determined that the 1.46% interest rate to be reasonable and not excessively low. this reduction in interest rate won't create any significant negative impact to the ocii loan and it won't change the nature of the enforceable

obligation. additionally, the investor and tax attorney have requested that the terms regarding the distribution of surplus cash in the loan agreement are consistent with the ground lease. which has one-third of the surplus cash paid to the developer up to $50,000 and two-thirds paid to the city to pay down the ocii and [speaker not understood] cd loans. all of these technical clarifications are consistent with the city's underwriting guidelines and with 'your approval today, staff anticipates bond closing and construction in april. and that concludes my presentation. thank you. >> madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards on this item? >> i have no speaker cards. >> alrighty, i'm going to open it up to commissioners here for questions and comments. no questions? >> i move that. >> okay. i do have just a couple

questions here. i guess the first is is this -- i was curious to know if this was typical of -- i guess we're in this case a lending institution or a lending entity to lower interest rates after things have been signed and agreed upon. >> yes. actually, thank you, commissioner ellington. actually it's very common. and when we were a part of the redevelopment agency, it was very typical to come back to commission to request a reduction in the interest rate and/or the term of the loan. and in those instances, then, the tax attorney could get comfortable with the project's ability to repay the debt. so, yes, it is typical. >> and then i looked at the spreadsheet that you guys provided in the memo and -- >> teeny-tiny -- >> that's fine.

i was not able to understand the repayment process. >> um-hm. >> and where our agency fit compared to the other investors. so, are we -- where are we in line with the -- who gets repaid first and how does the surplus cash go into that? >> okay. so, there is the tenant rent and then -- and the cash flow really lays it out. >> yeah. >> and there is operating expenses and then there's debt service. >> yeah. >> so, the conventional lenders are all paid above the line in the debt service category. and then below the line is where the developer gets their one-third and then we get the two-thirds of the cash flow to pay down the loan. >> i see, gotcha. and then we are transferring this to the mayor's office of housing? >> ultimately, after construction is completed. >> gotcha. >> um-hm. >> you know, i would just like -- i don't know if -- this seems like a pretty significant request and i would appreciate
