The period of the agreement is April 18, 2011 through April 17, 2036. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $1.00 ­ Annual Rent BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The DSC is a non-profit community sailing center that offers instruction and access to sailing without the cost of private ownership and boat maintenance. Its mission since 1994 is to make the joy of sailing accessible to everyone regardless of age, income, ability or disability. With over sixty boats, the DSC operates group and individual sailing programs, day camps, and racing for Baltimore City young people, people with disabilities (using specially adapted boats), and adults. Keeping its membership fees affordable, the DSC funds its operations with State and private foundation grants and private gifts. Since 2000, the DSC has operated at the 1407 Key Highway site under various temporary agreements with the City. Operations at the leased area are connected to the larger DSC marina that is under a long-term lease with the Museum of Industry, located at 1415 Key Highway. In 2010, the DSC developed a plan to replace its older and dilapidated docks and piers in the leased area with new, more suitable and accessible floating docks and finger piers. Because the plan will require the DSC to solicit gifts or grants from a number of government, foundation, and private sources, the DSC has requested that the City enter into a long- term lease agreement. 11 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 BDC ­ cont'd The new lease agreement will have a term of 25 years. The annual rent will be $1.00 per annum. The lease will provide the DSC the right to develop the submerged lands and riparian area out to but not crossing the bulkhead line. The leased area will be used solely to support the DSC's non-profit activities. The DSC agrees to comply with the Key Highway Urban Renewal Plan and the Maritime Master Plan. The DSC agrees to permit the BDC and the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) to review the construction plans and to work cooperatively with the BDC in any future redevelopment of 1407 Key Highway fast lands. In the event, City-owned fire, marine police or the Department of Public Works boats, currently berthed at a federally owned pier immediately north of Fort McHenry or other berthing locations within the Inner Harbor, are required to move elsewhere, the DSC will reasonably provide space at its docks and piers in the leased area or other suitable areas in its marina. This space will be provided to the City at no charge. The lease has been reviewed and executed by the Chief of the BCFD. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 5, SUBTITLE 28 OF THE BALTIMORE CITY CODE (2000 EDITION), THE ORGANIZATION HAS SIGNED THE COMMITMENT TO COMPLY WITH THE MINORITY AND WOMEN'S ENTERPRISE PROGRAM.

The loan funds will be used to support a portion of the hard construction costs of the Coppin Heights Homeownership Project located at 2777 - 2781 West North Avenue, and will be secured in a second lien position during the construction period. The Coppin Heights Homeownership Project will involve the construction of two new townhomes on vacant lots located at 2779 and 2781 W. North Avenue and a substantial rehabilitation of an existing vacant row house located at 2777 W. North Avenue. All three of these units will be for-sale townhomes to be sold to first time homebuyers with incomes at or below 80% of area median income. The developer, Coppin Heights CDC is a Certified Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and non-profit organization established in February 2, 1995, to assist in the revitalization of the Coppin Heights community. 26 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd The two-story townhomes will have gross square footages as follows: 2777 W.

The Buyer's Proportionate Share will be evidenced by a promissory note and other security instruments and structured as an unsecured deferred loan. If each Buyer complies with all applicable terms and covenants of the loan documents for a 15 year period of affordability, the payment of the outstanding principal will be forgiven. In the event a conveyance occurs during the "period of affordability", such Buyer will immediately repay the Department all or a portion of its loan out of net proceeds. The HOME loan will be non-recourse debt. The Department will be entitled to a fifty percent (50%) share of any and all excess sales proceeds after the developer (i) earns no more than 10% in profit and overhead based on a cost certification, and (ii) is reimbursed for documented predevelopment overhead on the project for such items, in such amounts and for such periods as are approved by the DHCD.

The property is located at 1125 N. Patterson Park Avenue, which includes an open lot. Dayspring Square will be a historic renovation/restoration of a long-vacant structure and the construction of a new building on the adjacent open lot. When complete, the existing building and the new building will contain a multi-purpose center that will house a new, 5,000 square foot state-of-the-art Head Start Center, an approximately 5,000 square foot office and program space for the Dayspring program, 22 supportive housing units, parking, and a playground (collectively, the Development). Using a combination of Historic Tax Credits and New Market Tax Credits, grants from various foundations, short-term loans, and the proceeds of loans from the City and the State funding, the development team is proposing to redevelop the approximately 42,000 square feet of usable space that will be created following renovation/ construction. The proceeds of the City loan will finance a portion of the hard costs of the supportive housing (Rental Project). Of the Rental Project, 17 are expected to be two-bedroom units and five are expected to be three-bedroom units and each of the units will remain affordable to individuals earning less than 50% of area median income, adjusted for family size. Because of the complicated financing structure that is required by the use of Historic Tax Credits plus the New Market Tax Credits in this transaction, the proceeds of the City loan will be disbursed to Dayspring, who will then make the proceeds of the City loan available to the Owner, who will own the Development. To secure the City loan, the Owner will execute a mutually acceptable and legally sufficient guaranty (the Guaranty). The Owner will also grant to the City a subordinate Lien Indemnity Deed of Trust (IDOT) to secure the Guaranty and ensure that the Owner complies with the HOME program restrictions and other requirements of the City loan. At the end of the recapture period of the New Market Tax Credits, the Borrower will ensure that the City loan continues to be secured by a lien on real property or with other collateral whose appraised value is not less than the outstanding principal and 31 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd interest on the City loan, such as a letter of credit. The City agrees that to the extent the Borrower arranges for permanent financing of the Rental Project at the end of the seven-year period in which the New Markets Tax Credits can be recaptured, the payment of the City loan and the terms, conditions and lien of the City's mortgage, if any, will be subordinate to the terms, conditions and lien of any mortgage securing any component of such permanent financing, and City agrees to enter into a commercially reasonable subordination agreement and standstill agreement with any such permanent lender. In order to gain maximum leverage of the New Markets Tax Credits, certain funds will be aggregated with a leverage fund (the Leverage Fund) associated with U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation (USB CDC). The Leverage Fund will in turn use these funds to make a Qualified Equity Investment into a Community Development Entity (the CDE) associated with NCB Capital Impact, a non-profit community development organization, which in turn will make a Qualified Low Income Community Investment (QLICI) into the Owner. The Borrower and the Owner will represent and warrant that the proceeds of the City loan will be used only for hard costs of constructing the Rental Project (Approved Construction Costs) in accordance with an approved development budget and draw schedule, both to be reviewed and approved by the City prior to the closing of the City Loan. To the extent the Borrower makes any draw requests to the CDE to obtain disbursement of the QLICI, a copy of such request will also be submitted to the City. Following the completion of construction, the Borrower will submit a written certification as to the final Approved Construction Costs funded by the proceeds of the City loan. An appraisal was prepared on June 23, 2010, by Lipman Frizzell & Mitchell LLC. The prospective market value of the Project upon completion and stabilization, based on Section 8 rents, was determined to be $3,950,000.00. 32 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd PARTICIPATING PARTIES A. Developer and Borrower: Dayspring Programs, Inc. (Dayspring) will be the borrower of the City Loan but will then make an equity contribution of such funds to the Owner. Dayspring has been approved as a "Community Housing Development Organization" under the HOME Program. Dayspring will also be the developer of the Development and has retained the Historic East Baltimore Community Action Coalition as a development consultant. B. Owner and Guarantor: 1125 North Patterson Park LLC (the Owner), a subsidiary of Dayspring will own the Development and the property. The Owner will guaranty the City Loan. The membership interests of the Owner are expected to be owned as follows: .01% by the managing member entity and 99.99% by a programs management entity, both such entities to be owned and operated by Dayspring. C. General Contractor/Architect: The general contractor will be A.R. Marani, Inc. The project architect will be Hord Coplan Macht. The City Loan will be used solely to finance a portion of the hard construction costs of the Rental Project. D. City Loan: The City loan will have the following terms. Interest will accrue at one percent annually and the loan will have a maturity of 20 years following construction completion (the Maturity Date). No payments will be due and interest will not accrue during the construction period. During the twenty-year period following construction completion, payments of interest only will be due monthly. All principal and interest owed will be due at the Maturity Date. Following the completion of construction the Borrower will submit a written certification as to the costs funded by the City Loan. 33 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd The City loan will be primarily secured by the Guaranty and the IDOT. At closing, the IDOT is expected to be subordinate to various liens, including the liens securing the QLICI. The Borrower has agreed that at the end of the Recapture Period, the Borrower will secure the City Loan by either continuing the subordinate lien on the Development or providing other collateral, such as a letter of credit. Sale or refinancing of the Development without the consent of the City will be an event of default and the principal amount of the City loan plus any and all outstanding interest owed will be immediately due. E. Participating Financing: Leverage Fund and CDE: As described above, the Leverage Fund will be controlled by USB CDC. The Leverage Fund aggregates various financing sources in order to leverage additional New Markets Tax Credit equity. A CDE receives the allocation of New Markets Tax Credits from the Federal treasury and makes the direct investment into the Project.

The loan funds will be used to support a portion of the hard construction costs of the M on Madison Apartments located at 301 W. Madison Street. The M on Madison Apartments will involve the acquisition of a 0.51 acre lot and construction of a 74 unit mid-rise apartment building located on the corner of Howard and Madison Streets in the Mt. Vernon Historic District. In addition to the gross leasable area, the proposed development will feature 25 surface parking lot spaces, a community room, an exercise room, a business center and an on-site management office. The building will be constructed to meet LEED Silver standards and will contain a green roof, terrace, and Energy Star appliances. The tenants will also benefit from several amenities, such as a dishwasher, and washer and dryer included within their units. In addition, individual case management and adult education programs will be provided at no cost and a portion of the cost of high-speed internet services provided in 35 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd all units will be subsidized. In 2007, the developer, HTA Development, LLC, successfully completed the rehabilitation of the Holly Lane Apartments, a 170 unit garden style apartment complex, using HOME funds. Upon completion of the construction, there will be one efficiency unit, 58 one-bedroom, and 15 two-bedroom units. One hundred percent of the project's units will be affordable to families with incomes at or below 60% AMI for 40 years. The Borrower will provide 23 units for Non-Elderly Persons with Disabilities (the NED Units) that are affordable and reserved for not less than 15 years in accordance with and meeting the requirements of the Bailey Consent Decree. The term NED means a household that meets the following criteria: (i) whose sole member, head of household, or head of household's spouse has a disability and is under age 62; (ii) which is eligible for a one-bedroom public housing unit or for a two-bedroom public housing unit because a second bedroom is needed for disability- related reasons; and (iii) which is on the HABC waiting list for public or Section 8 subsidized housing. The Department intends to provide rent subsidy in the form of Project-Based Housing Choice Vouchers for the NED units RCDH & Co. of Maryland, LLS prepared an appraisal, dated October 20, 2010 for the permanent first lender. The estimated market value of the subject property as if completed and stabilized at restricted rents with consideration to the tax credits is $15,810,000.00. The appraised value is below the total development cost of the project which is common for transactions involving LIHTC, subsidized rents and preferred governmental financing. The LIHTC provides equity and is not considered as long-term debt to the property. The rents are considered restricted because they are supported with financing that requires long-term income and rent restrictions. As a result, the rent levels are set below the market rate thereby decreasing the property's appraised value. Gap financing, such as the HOME loan and the other governmental sources are in place in order to allow for continuing affordability. The appraised value meets the underwriting standards for the must-pay permanent superior mortgage. The DHCD is comfortable with recommending the City loan as described under these circumstances. 36 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd Participating Parties: A.

The Board is also requested to permit the Director of Transportation, in consultation with the Director of General Services and the Director of Finance, to establish a security deposit and form of payment for the same, not to exceed the value of the equipment to be used; and issue guidelines for the use of City equipment. This policy will take effect for any event scheduled on or after April 15, 2011. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On November 3, 2010, the Board approved a fee schedule for event permits for block parties, fairs and festivals and other special events. The approval applied only to the event permit application fee charged by the Department of General Services, but did not specify the fees for use and delivery of particular equipment types. Subject to the approval of each permit, the DOT is responsible for providing equipment such as stages, food and display booths, picket fencing, bicycle racks, etc. for use by community organizations, event promoters, and others. Under current fees and policies, where a community organization wanted to use 5 carnival/food booths, it would pay an equipment fee of $10.00 per booth, a travel charge of $20.00, and labor costs of at least $240.00, although more typically in the range of $500.00 to $1,000.00 for mid-sized events. Pursuant to the approved policy of November 3, 2010, the fees are then discounted by 50% for all non-profit organizations. Due to the 46 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 2/16/2011 DOT ­ cont'd discount, community organizations frequently order more equipment than is needed, and many organizations also seek fee waivers. Though providing equipment for special events is not a core function of the DOT and in light of current budget pressures, the DOT can no longer sustain the costs of these services absent either an increase in fees or a change in the model for delivering services. In consultation with the Mayor's Office of Neighborhoods, Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, and frequent community event organizers, the DOT has restructured its service delivery model in a manner that will reduce charges for smaller, community-based events. Community organizations will be permitted to pick-up smaller equipment directly from the DOT's Special Events Division, which will supply large, sturdy tents instead of heavy wooden booths. While an application fee will still be charged and a security deposit required, no rental fees will be charged for basic equipment. This will save the DOT a considerable amount of staff time and a significant amount of money for community organization. Additionally, for large events such as Artscape, the Baltimore Book Festival, ethnic festivals, etc., one of the DOT's major costs is the installation of electrical wiring throughout the entire event site. Deployment for these can cost between $25,000.00 and $400,000.00 in labor, supplies and materials. Under the DOT's new service model, portable electrical generators will be used to supply necessary electrical services. Again, significant cost savings will occur both for the event organizer and for the DOT.
