EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approves a Resolution
approving the form of a Loan Agreement with Fifth Third Bank for a $13,500,000 term loan;
authorize the CRA Chairman to sign and make payments as needed to purchase real property and
finance various capital improvement projects within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA; pledge
Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Tax Increment Funds (TIF) and other legally available monies
as the loan repayment source; and authorize all necessary budget amendments
OBJECTIVE: To approve a Resolution approving the form of a Loan Agreement with Fifth Third
Bank for a $13,500,000 term loan; authorize the CRA Chairman to sign and make payments as needed
to purchase real property and finance various capital improvement projects within the Bayshore
Gateway Triangle CRA; pledge Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Tax Increment Funds (TIF) and other
legally available monies as the loan repayment source; and authorize all necessary budget amendments.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 23, 2009 the CRA accepted a Fifth Third Bank proposal for a
$13,500,000 Term Loan to pay off an existing Wachovia Bank Line of Credit debt of $5,901,000 and
provide an additional $7,599,000 in new debt. As a condition, Fifth Third Bank accepts a pledge of CRA
TTF, proceeds from sale of real property and other legally available CRA moneys as the repayment
source. The additional funds will be used to acquire parcels of land important to the proactive
redevelopment of the Gateway Triangle sector of the CRA. Notification to all affected taxing bodies has
been made by certified letters.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient Bayshore /Gateway Triangle CRA tax increment revenues are available
to service debt service payments. Budget amendments will be necessary to set up the required debt
service transfer to Fund 287 and establish the appropriate expense budget in Fund 187 to acquire the
targeted strategic parcels. This financing requires the pledge of CRA tax increment revenues as the debt
repayment source. Closing on the term loan is scheduled September 1, 2009.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Policy 4.7 of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth
Management Plan states that redevelopment plans may be developed for specific areas within the
County, including the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Bond counsel and the County Attorney's Office have reviewed and
prepared all necessary loan documentation as presented for approval. This item is not quasi-judicial, and
as such, ex parte disclosure is not required. A simple majority vote is necessary for CRA action.
(HFAC).
RECOMMENDATION: That the CRA approves a Resolution approving the form of a Loan
Agreement with Fifth Third Bank for a $13,500,000 term loan; authorize the CRA Chairman to sign and
make payments as needed to purchase real property and finance various capital improvement projects
within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA; pledge Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Tax Increment
Funds (TIF) and other legally available monies as the loan repayment source; and authorize all
necessary budget amendments.

FIFTH THIRD BANW
Please find below an updated Term Sheet for Fifth Third Bank's proposal to provide a
$13,500,000 Term Loan to the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment
Agency to refinance the existing Line of Credit with Wachovia Bank and finance the
acquisition of land associated with the Gateway triangle Project.
Updated Term Sheet
Borrower: Bayshore Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency ( "CRA ")
Guarantor: N/A
Request: $13,500,000 Term Loan
Purpose: (1) Refinance existing revolving Line of Credit debt with Wachovia
Bank; and
(2) Acquisition of land associated with the Gateway Triangle Project
Term: Five (5) Year Term
Amortization: Fifteen (15) Years
Rate: (1) Taxable Variable Rate Option
Taxable rate of 30 -Day LIBOR plus 3.75 %; for illustrative purposes,
the rate as of June 15, 2009, is 4.07 %.
(2) Taxable Fixed Rate AIternative
Fifth Third Bank would be pleased to offer an interest rate hedged in
the form of an interest rate swap. As of June 15, 2009, the indicative
market rate of interest for a 5 -year swap (including the Borrower's
option to cancel the swap at any month after the second year) would

Y July 28, 2009

Tomorrov� "pry'' «,;:. iiFTH 1 HIRr) BA14W
be an indicative all -in fixed rate of interest of 6.80 %. This rate is
subject to changing market conditions until execution of a swap
agreement via a recorded phone line.
The CRA may hedge the rate of interest of the proposed credit facility
via the execution of an interest rate swap with a counterparty deemed
acceptable by Fifth Third Bank. Under the interest rate swap
agreement, the CRA would receive the proposed variable rate index
and pay a fixed rate to the swap provider. The variable rate received
by the CRA would offset the proposed credit facility's variable rate
index. The proposed effective all -in fixed rate of interest to be paid by
the Borrower would be the fixed rate paid under the swap agreement
plus the proposed credit spread over the variable rate index.
Repayment: (1) Monthly principal plus interest;
(2) Monthly principal plus interest (similar to a 15 -year mortgage
style amortization)
Fees: $800 Loan Documentation Fee plus Borrower is responsible for all legal and
out of pocket expenses associated with the proposed financing. if the
Borrower elects to execute a swap agreement, there will be a $750 Swap
Documentation fee. All documents shall be prepared by CRA bond counsel
and documents and opinions shall be acceptable to the Bank and it's counsel.
Collateral: The loans will be secured by tax increment revenues and a covenant to budget
and appropriate from all legally available CRA non -ad valorem revenues.
Prepayment: There are no prepayment penalties. However, if the Borrower fixes the
interest rate via the execution of a swap agreement , the Borrower is subject to
a mark to market adjustment at the time the swap is terminated.
Contingencies
and
Covenants:
1) During the term of the facility, the CRA agrees to budget and appropriate
from tax incremental revenues an amount equal to or greater than the
projected Annual Debt Service on the respective credit facilities.
2) The CRA will maintain Debt Service Coverage equal to or greater than
1.25:1.0. The calculation shall be determined by using the average of
actual receipts and cash carried forward (reserves) for the prior fiscal year
based on the CRA's annual audit.
3) The CRA agrees to maintain a Debt Reserve Fund equal to or great than:
o Annual principal and interest debt service for the Term Loan
4) If any land is purchased by the CRA with Fifth Third Bank loan proceeds
and subsequently sold, the sale proceeds will be required to be applied
against the principal amount outstanding.
5) If any land already purchased by the CRA under the Wachovia Line of
Credit is sold, the sale proceeds will be required to be applied against the
principal amount outstanding.
6) Quarterly financial statements shall be submitted within 45 -days of
quarter end.

year -end.

the Agency does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or
