Agenda 05/13/2013 Item #14B15/14/2013 14.B.1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approves a
resolution containing the form of a Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA restructuring
Loan Agreement with Fifth Third Bank — the Series 2013 Taxable Note - in the
amount of $7,557,900; authorize the CRA Chairman to sign the authorizing
resolution; and authorize all necessary budget amendments. Pursuant to Notice
required under Section 163.346, Florida Statutes.
OBJECTIVE: Approve the resolution containing the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA
Series 2013 Taxable Note Loan Agreement; and authorize the CRA Chairman to sign the
authorizing resolution.
CONSIDERATIONS: For the past twenty -four months CRA staff, in conjunction with
County and Clerk of Courts financial staff, has worked to restructure the Taxable Series
2009 term loan which the BCC as the CRA entered into with Fifth Third Bank on
September 1, 2009. The Series 2009 note totaled $13,500,000 at inception, and currently
amortizes to a balance due of $7,893,900 as of September 1, 2014. The term loan is the
only outstanding debt the CRA has and is structured with monthly principal and interest
payments secured by CRA tax increment revenues and other CRA operating revenues.
There is no pledge of County revenues as security for this credit.
Board members will recall that the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA borrowed funds to
acquire certain strategic property within the district in order to facilitate redevelopment.
Shortly after acquiring the properties, the economy lapsed into a prolonged recession and
efforts to re- develop stalled.
Restructuring the current term loan has several important objectives including;
• Extending the re- payment deadline past September 1, 2014 at the same interest
rate factor while allowing the CRA time to pursue re- development initiatives
under improving economic conditions.
• Postpone the need to liquidate CRA owned property at a substantial loss and
allow the property to be sold within an improving market environment and in
reasonable conformance with existing approved re- development plans.
• Use existing debt service reserve cash to pay down the current term loan, thereby
mitigating interest costs, and re- establish a lower debt service reserve.
• Maintain monthly principal and interest payments and establishes a level of
budgetary and financial flexibility within the CRA.
The following table provides a comparison of the current 2009 Series CRA loan
provisions /terms against those offered by Fifth Third Bank under ITB 12 -5877 and the
current Fifth Third May 2013 loan restructuring negotiated proposal.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: Both the Bayshore Gateway
Triangle CRA Advisory Board and the Finance Committee recommended unanimously
Packet Page -730-
5/14/2013 14.B.1.
that the Restructuring Term Loan Agreement — the Series 2013 Taxable Note - receive
favorable approval by the Board of County Commissioners. -
FISCAL IMPACT: Extending the current re- payment period to June 2018 provides time
for the district to pursue its redevelopment program and eliminates any adverse impacts
associated with the September 2014 balloon payment required under the current loan
agreement. Assuming that the district's taxable value has stabilized and may increase
modestly going forward, it is possible with the sale of property to pay off this loan prior
to June 2018. If not, then the CRA prior to June 2018 can solicit market proposals for
refinancing the balance or negotiate an extension with the current lender. Either way,
time is a valuable consideration and this restructuring allows for a measure of financial
and budgetary flexibility within the CRA.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This matter has been reviewed by the County Attorney,
is legally sufficient, and requires majority vote for approval. —JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Redevelopment Agency approves a
resolution containing the form of a Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA restructuring Loan
Agreement with Fifth Third Bank — the Series 2013 Taxable Note - in the amount of
$7,557,900; authorize the CRA Chairman to sign the authorizing resolution and; approve
all necessary budget amendments.

(e) As of the date hereof, no outstanding indebtedness of the Agency exists
other than the Prior Loan and any interest accrued thereon.
SECTION 2.02. GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND

and to perform its obligations hereunder, and such execution and delivery will not
M
n
Packet Page -748-

constitute a violation of its charter, articles of association or bylaws. Pursuant to the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Bank agrees to provide the loan evidenced
by the Series 2013 Note to the Agency for the purpose of refinancing the Prior Loan.
SECTION 2.03. SERIES 2013 NOTE NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF
THE AGENCY, COUNTY OR STATE. The Series 2013 Note, when delivered by the
Agency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall not be or constitute an
indebtedness of the Agency, the County, the State of Florida or any political subdivision
or agency thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter
limitations of indebtedness, but shall be payable solely from the Pledged Funds, as herein
provided. The Bank shall never have the right to compel the exercise of the ad valorem
taxing power of the Agency or the County, or taxation in any form on any property
therein to pay the Series 2013 Note or the interest thereon. The Series 2013 Note is a
special and limited obligation payable as to principal and interest solely from the Pledged
Funds.
SECTION 2.04. SECURITY. The Series 2013 Note shall be secured by and
payable from the Pledged Funds. The Agency does hereby irrevocably pledge the
Pledged Funds to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2013 Note in

Agency covenants and agrees to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if
necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues lawfully available in each Fiscal Year,
amounts which shall be sufficient to pay the Annual Debt Service on the Series 2013
Note. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Agency to budget and appropriate
such amounts of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid,
and shall continue until such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds
in amounts sufficient to make all such required payments shall have been budgeted,
appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the Agency,
the Agency does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or
maintained by the Agency, which generate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues.
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge
of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the Agency from pledging in
the future its Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the Agency to levy and
collect any particular Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Bank a prior claim
on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the
Agency. Such covenant to appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all
respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem
Revenues heretofore or hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on
other debt instruments). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate in its annual

described herein and in the Resolution Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and placing on the
Agency a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts
sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder.

Agency covenants to do all things necessary or required on its part by the Act, or other
applicable provisions of the law, to maintain the levy, collection and receipt of the
Increment Tax Revenues. The Agency shall exercise all legally available remedies to
enforce such levy, collection and receipt now or hereafter available under law. The
Agency will not take any action, or enter into any agreement that shall result in reducing
the level of Increment Tax Revenues received by the Agency from that level prevailing at
the time the Agency takes such action or enters into such agreement. Without limiting

the Community Redevelopment Area to be decreased or the Agency to cease to exist
without the prior written consent of the Bank.
SECTION 2.08. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS. The

shall pay interest on the Debt Service Reserve Fund at the same rate as similarly situated
public depositories.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.10, moneys in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund are required to be maintained in an amount equal to the Reserve
Requirement. The investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be valued at their
market value annually as of September 30 of each Fiscal Year. If at the time of any
valuation the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund is less than the
Reserve Requirement as a result of a decline in the market value of investments in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Agency shall deposit to the Debt Service Reserve Fund
from the Pledged Funds the amount necessary to restore the amount on deposit in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement within 120 days following the

Series 2013 Note, the Agency shall deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund the amount
which was withdrawn in not more than 12 substantially equal monthly payments
beginning with the first day of the first month after the month in which such draw
occurred.

previously purchased by the Agency with proceeds of the Prior Loan or with proceeds
drawn under the line of credit refinanced by the Prior Loan is subsequently sold, all of the

applied to the prepayment of the principal outstanding under the Series 2013 Note within
30 days of the receipt of such sales proceeds pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof.
SECTION 2.12. PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The
Agency will furnish to the Bank a copy of the Annual Audit, including financial
information concerning the Agency, and all standard statements for a Comprehensive

Increment Tax Revenues collected and Non -Ad Valorem Revenues for such Fiscal Year.
Within 45 days of the close of each quarter, the Agency will furnish to the Bank a copy
of the unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Agency, which report shall show
the Increment Tax Revenues and Non -Ad Valorem Revenues collected for such quarter.
The Agency shall also provide the Bank with a copy of the annual budget of the Agency
each year within 45 days of the final adoption of such budget.
