13:37Actually, it's not the monthly meeting, the second meeting this month of the um Health Education Housing Facilities Board of the City of Chattanooga.
13:55So the first piece we'll do is the minutes of the April twentieth meeting, which I think we reviewed informally at the last meeting.
14:20Questions, additions, corrections.
15:07Not to exceed 62 million, and they were before us at the last meeting.
15:14And is there anything you all want to add?
15:19Or is any questions that we have that the board has for them on this?
15:28Can we get a reminder of what the term is on this?
15:34I'm happy to be great.
15:38Well, Russ Miller was after we are fund council to 10% on the 10th fine bonds.
15:51I said the first one.
15:52And John Lynch is a financial visor for bank.
16:00Robert said, um, this the max 61-ish million dollars.
16:05It's really sort of two separate issues.
16:07One is to be financed their existing 2017 bond, which is through this reward.
16:11Um that's around 18 million dollars.
16:14Um that would be uh I would sure around 2022, I think.
16:19And it has sort of the same information that it has existing bonds for pushing out.
16:28Um deal um the 2020 board.
16:35You all heard about those last community norm and some uh five improvements um and energy uh fund improvements on the campus.
16:43So that bond will be a 30-year bond.
16:45Um they expect uh the initial issuance will be um 47 or so million.
16:51Uh they expect to pay down a lot of that in the next five years when pledges they come in.
16:56And so I think uh the final three would be third years, but they're really only um like 30 million of that over the remaining period.
17:04Um probably hopefully some pledges uh they're gonna pay down both of it.
17:08So it's very interesting through.
17:12So the refinancing it says will uh mature in 16 years, and the uh the bulk of beyond that is 30 years, right?
17:19Yes, yeah, and pinnacle is agreeable with funds for that period.
17:23All right, I want to let's back up and get a motion for discussion.
17:28So before she throws apples at me.
17:31So move to interdiscond.
17:36Okay, we have motion second.
17:38Any other questions?
17:40Anybody up here has for them?
17:50I don't want to cut off anything, but they did make a presentation last time.
17:54I've done this before here in that.
17:58I'm just glad to know somebody around here as a school can float a 62 million dollar bond.
18:05Having been there, I couldn't do that.
18:09Uh seeing no further questions, all in favor of the resolution, please say aye.
18:15Opposed, like signed.
18:18Seeing none, resolution passes.
18:24I think it's a safe loan on Mr.
18:29Um we have our second.
18:33Dallas, good to see you.
18:37Our second uh item is resolution uh regarding the payment of a uh payment in lieu of taxes transaction with overlook apartments.
18:50I think we have a gentleman that's going to give us an update on that.
18:53This is, I think we heard the uh the TIFRA hearing the last a couple of times ago, and so they're coming in for a pilot.
19:02And um let him do his one over here and speak on the microphone, identify yourself, and we'll make sure everybody here is up to date.
19:13Have you done a pilot before?
19:14You haven't have you, or have you?
19:17Make sure everybody's comfortable with what we're doing before we vote.
19:20You want to give us a little update, please?
19:24My name is Zane Mahmoud.
19:26I work at PATS Development, which is the affordable housing development arm of TIAA.
19:31We do affordable housing tax credit projects around the country, and one of them is overlook apartments, which is 162 units.
19:37There's a large tower in some townhouses to the side.
19:40We are working on closing the tax credits indication on the 26th of June, so next month.
19:46And we have underwritten the pilot as of you guys are well aware, it's very hard to get financing structured on the Tennessee views without a pilot, so you basically need one to even close the transaction.
20:00And I was previously here and presented the project in more detail with the presentation when we came in for the issuance of the tax exempt bonds in the amount of 15 million, which was approved.
20:06Uh that was in November.
20:08And now we're but as per THDA's deadlines you need to co-fund the bonds within 120 days.
20:12We've been working on the project, getting everything else in line.
20:16The investors signed off.
20:17We just put in the final application to Freddie Mac.
20:20So we are very much on track to close next month, yep.
20:45Yeah, it's 100% affordable LITEC, as I mentioned.
20:56Exhibit B has got your description of the project on here.
21:00And uh the project itself is an original structure that was already built in 1978.
21:06I was gonna say I thought so uh they're they're updating it correctly updating a 1978, it's nine-story high-rise residential building, uh four two-story townhouse style building that is in there, uh 16 studios, 122 one bedroom apartments, and 24 two bedroom.
21:25That on the golden gateway up there.
21:26Yes, that's what over on Boynton Drive, it's like the big white tower, you guys are probably thinking that whole area is actually going through a revitalization.
21:34The housing authority is very much invested.
21:36So I actually just had a meeting with the with Betsy at the housing authority, yeah, and we were discussing other potential projects that we could do in Chattanooga.
21:44And there is also a letter in the file here that Hanukkah has given us uh that is in support of the overlook apartments for uh Mayor Kelly in connection with this, uh stating that 100% of the units will be maintained as an affordable uh housing principally to serve low and moderate income housings at 60 percent of the area meeting income.
22:05And there has been a 4% allocation from the Tennessee housing development agency to help with these uh issues here.
22:13So this is involved.
22:14There was also uh some question at all as to whether the county needed to have notification of this event as well.
22:20And Annika sent a letter to the county officials here on May the 8th, uh, informing them of the information as to the date of this hearing, and we were wondering if there would be anybody else coming this morning in connection to that, but no one is showing up.
22:35And the HEB presentation date is today's date on that documentation that was sent to them.
22:40So um the mayor has approved this in accordance with uh state law under TCA 48101312, and because of that, he's forwarded it on to you all if you have any questions about the development to go forward.
22:54Does the county have to sign off on them?
22:55They don't know because it's a municipality issue here in connection with this matter.
23:01We've been getting a lot of feedback though from the county in recent times here where they are have been concerned, I guess, about anything that might be off of the market here for other types of development.
23:13But this is a lie tech development for low and moderate uh folks in here, and the mayor is in support of this project, and we believe this complies with the Tennessee statute that allows that to approve.
23:23So the notification is is purely just an FYI.
23:28So that's what I thought.
23:29We got a got a sort of a weird uh email from the county clerk's office back in March, and that's why we wanted to make sure we notified them so they would have an opportunity if they had any questions here today.
23:41Okay, and no one is here today.
23:43So let me ask you this.
23:44Uh not as much on this one then.
23:47On any pilot that we do, do we always give them notifications?
23:52We should at least clearly uh those this is a lie tech case, so it's a little bit different than some on there, but you know, any type of pilot we should be given notification.
24:00I was gonna say, Maria, if you'd make a note that let's try to make sure we do give them notice, I'd rather be on the offensive and on the defensive on those.
24:14Any other questions on this overlook?
24:18Chair have one for attorney knoblet.
24:20You mentioned um that the county assessor's office sent a letter.
24:25Was that in reference to values or what was the purpose?
24:30Uh I think they were just trying to make sure they knew about things coming up.
24:34That was that was the issue on their end of it.
24:36And they were supporting at that point in time.
24:38They they gave us a copy of a resolution that the county had passed.
24:42I believe we sent that on to you here that was in March.
24:45And uh they were wanting to make sure at least they knew when things were coming up in connection with the matter, and uh just wanted to have an opportunity to participate if they felt it was necessary.
25:00Part of the reason I think it's important we notify them is because you you're basically freezing the the current tax base.
25:03And so I think it just from a communication standpoint, so it's important for us to know on the but not find on the front end that a piece of your property that uh obviously what's in the city you pay county taxes on too.
25:18So that that way they're they're notified of it.
25:21Because if they have an issue with it, then the I'd rather them bring up the issue prior to us making a decision on someone's in front of us than getting it done and them saying, well, we had other plans for it.
25:34So I think I think that communication is important.
25:38On your agreement here, the the letter that at least that uh the mayor has signed.
25:42I think you've got that in your packet now.
25:51And the city's court portion and the county's portion that was involved in that, and that protects all of their school taxes that they are uh concerned about as they are currently.
26:00Any other issues with that, Hanukkah, that I need to address with them.
26:07So does that city portion include the schools?
26:11Well the county commission.
26:12I mean the county portion include the schools.
26:15Okay, because I thought it did.
26:19Any other questions?
26:20Here I have one other uh for the developer.
26:23So I recall your presentation us, which was extremely thorough a few months ago.
26:28And and you mentioned um that you all might even be doing some self funding prior to to obtaining um the pilot.
26:39Uh have you made improvements to the property?
26:42Yes, we have rehabed 64 off the 132 units as of this point, but uh we made sure to get bond resolution before that.
26:50So uh all of that would be just part of the tax credit development budget.
26:56Yeah, but like once we the exterior work and the remaining units one once we closed, we have a construction schedule, it should be done.
27:03We've conservatively budgeted 12 months, but because we're through 64 units already, it should be done well before that.
27:10So by the end of 12 months, you'll feel a brand new building.
27:16That's impressive, thank you.
27:18Uh from the 25th of June, which is our chosen paper.
27:23Because that's when the official 12 month kicks in on the Freddy Loan documents.
27:26You start betting down to a date gets a little more specific.
27:34Don't don't let me rush you.
27:37See none, all in favor of overlook project, please say aye.
27:42Oppose like no motion.
27:45Oh, I thought we did.
27:51Have a motion and second.
27:52I did real well on the first one though.
27:55One out of two is not bad.
27:56Okay, so we have uh properly moved, motion second on the on the on the on the project.
28:06Um all in favor of the the pilot project, please say aye.
28:14And and for the record, that is a resolution of the health educational housing facility board of the city regarding a payment in lieu of tax transaction with overlook apartments LP.
28:23I did I did read that.
28:26Takes three of us to keep us straight.
28:33Whatever business do we have to come before us?
28:37When are you leaving?
28:38Uh June 12th is my last day.
28:41Just wanted to recognize Hanukkah's with the uh housing part of the city and is moving to Chicago, so we appreciate she attends a lot and has been a a great uh uh contributor to the board and other things.
28:55So thank you for what you've done and we're gonna miss you.
28:59I appreciate you calling me this morning and getting me a copy of this letter.
29:05We all wouldn't make it we're on our own.
29:13And we have something we have an do you think we're gonna have anything right now.
29:18Okay, so next meeting is June 15th.
29:20We don't have any right now, but if we so put on your calendar, but if not, we will we will we'll pass.
29:30Thank you all very much.
