Page 2 - RDA 03/28/11 CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM "1" / RDA MINUTES Shanks moved, second by Miller, to approve the minutes of Regular Meeting of February 28, 2011 and Joint Adjoumed City Council /Redevelopment Agency Meetings of March 7, 2011 - March 14, 2011 - March 16, 2011. AYES: Deaton, Levitt, Miller, Shanks, Sloan NOES: None Motion carried ITEM "2" / RESOLUTION NO. 11 -03 / MODIFICATIONS TO HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (HIP) / LOW /MODERATE INCOME HOUSING FUNDS Director of Development Services stated the revised HIP loans would allow higher loan limits and eliminate the grants - the new loan program would not be forgivable and would have a maximum loan limit of $60,000 at zero percent interest with the principal amount due on sale - if the property is sold within 10 years, the owner would be required to repay the principal and a deferred interest rate of 8% compounded annually (current program limits allow for a $25,000 deferred loan and an additional $10,000 grant for qualified owner - occupied homes and mobile homes - if the property owner keeps the property for over 20 years the principal loan is totally forgiven - less than 20 years the loan amount that is forgiven is on a sliding scale). In response to Council comments: City staff approves loans after Civicstone (consultant) verifies applicants information and if they meets all the requirements; current loans will stay with old program; priority will be given to life safety improvements; committee of 3 - Director of Development Services, City Manager, and Building Official; program guidelines are laid out in broad terms and the details are currently being developed with Civicstone (new forms and operating guidelines for the committee). Major concerns: $60,000 is a lot of money to be approved by a committee; need more details on the proposed program; need to respect the RDA money; and should continue until there are more definite details. Shanks moved, second by Levitt, to adopt Resolution No. 11 -03 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING MODIFICATIONS TO THE HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (HIP) ".
