Item 520 – Continuing support of application to HUD for Section 108 loan for Berdan Building, $10.25M – Martinez – proposed amendment – takes away 9/30 deadline – won't affect project. McNamara – doesn't understand it. Martinez – loan will be agreed upon from Columbus – Administration – took out date – doesn't want the same thing that happened to the Glass Tower (sunset clause). This amendment will give it a sunset clause. Adam Loux – eliminate any doubt – could be argued at the application process. Martinez – definitive sunset clause. McNamara – was there something wrong with what was proposed? Adam Loux – no deadline. Ludeman – don't want to “muddy the waters” on this project – don't want to do anything to jeopardize this project. Webb – This is a confusing issue. Cruthers – Agrees with an end clause. Webb – this will slow down project. Hicks-Hudson – clarification. Adam Loux – was this satisfied with a sunset provision? - no challenge from HUD – this will nail it. Steel – confused – clarification. Adam Loux – doesn't agree with Martinez. McNamara – created an Amendment with all the points in it – date of 9/29/12 as a sunset. Cruthers – we have a deadline of 9/30/11 for HUD application – can't accept deadline for Amendment – HUD loan is already done – we put them in (dates) – could cause problems. Copeland – this will hold things up (He is hard to understand. SZ) Martinez – disagree with the date – need accountability. Herwat – move forward. - vote for 520-11 amended.
