AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Several individuals, who purchased tax liens at auctions in Baltimore City, colluded to keep the prices low by agreeing before the auctions to allocate the bids among themselves. This reduced competitive bidding, violated Federal anti-trust laws and resulted in the City obtaining less revenue for its tax liens. The Baltimore City Code (Code) provides for the debarment of individuals who commit certain criminal offenses. Debarment is a process by which the Board prohibits an individual or entity from entering into contracts with the City of Baltimore. Article 5, Section 40-1 (Finance and Procurement) of the Baltimore City Code provides that the Board of Estimates "may debar a person from entering into a contract with the City if that person, or a principal of that person, or any other person substantially involved in that person's contracting activities...has been convicted of a criminal violation of an anti-trust statute...of the United States." Similarly, a person may be debarred if he has admitted in writing or under oath that his actions constitute grounds for conviction under the law described above. Finally, the Code provides that the Board may debar a person who is a "principal, successor, assignee, subsidiary, or affiliate of a person who is debarred or suspended." 29 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 Department of Law ­ cont'd Three of the individuals in the bid rigging (Messers Steve Berman, Jack Stollof, and Harvey Nusbaum) pled guilty to violating federal anti-trust law. Three other individuals, (Messers John Reiff, Anthony De Laurentis, and Terry Turer) who were partners in a law firm and in an investment partnership, were able to enter into a cooperation agreement with the government and received amnesty. This latter group, however, participated extensively in the illegal conduct. Of the six principals involved in the federal bid rigging, five have voluntarily agreed to debarment. Mr. Harvey Nusbaum has not agreed to debarment. (The City has made several offers to Mr. Nusbaum through his counsel). Mr. Nusbaum, who is currently incarcerated for his participation in the federal bid rigging scheme, is unable to directly participate in tax lien auctions at this time, but his daughter, Ms. Tacey Himelfarb, who worked with her father prior to his conviction, remains actively involved in the purchase of tax liens in Baltimore City. The actions of the above-named individuals who violated federal anti-trust law have tarnished the integrity of the tax lien auction process in Baltimore City and cost the City many thousands of dollars in revenue because of depressed prices. Likewise, the continued participation of Mr. Nusbaum's daughter, a close affiliate and participant in his business entities during the time that he was engaging in illegal conduct, continues to put a blemish on the tax lien process. Therefore, the City Solicitor is recommending the Board institute debarment proceeding against Mr. Harvey Nusbaum and Ms. Tacey Himelfarb. The City Solicitor further recommends that Mr. Harvey Nusbaum and Ms. Tacey Himelfarb be suspended from entering into contracts with the City pending completion of debarment proceedings, as permitted by the Baltimore City Code, in light of the Baltimore City tax sale, which will occur in May 2011.

Preston Street. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: Sale price In-House Valuation (INV) Discount from INV $30.00 $137,607.00 $137,577.00 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The assessed value for each property is less than $20,000.00, so an in-house valuation using recent comparable sales was performed for three representative properties. Based on the comparable sales and amount of subsidy needed for the project, the reduced sales price of the properties will be $30.00, which will be paid by the Developer by cash or certified check at settlement. The City will convey all of its rights, title, and its interest at the offer price of $1.00 per property. Once transferred and redeveloped, the properties will be active on the tax rolls of Baltimore City preventing tax abandonment. In 2008, the Developer was awarded the development rights to develop City and Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) owned properties in the Johnston Square neighborhood. The Developer recently completed Phase One, which was the rehabilitation of ten existing public housing units at 800, 802, 836 and 838 E. Preston Street for the HABC. Phase Two will consist of the conveyance and rehabilitation of 12 City-owned properties into 12 units for affordable homeownership. Phase Three will consist of the conveyance and rehabilitation of 18 City-owned properties into 18 units for affordable homeownership, with 834 E. Preston Street containing one rental unit. 31 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd The Developer plans to invest approximately $9,098,063.00 into this project. The Developer applied for and was awarded $5,078,000.00 in Federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 Funds to help primarily fund the construction of homeownership units. The City is also reviewing a request from the Developer for approximately $2,000,000.00 in CDBG funds to subsidize the construction, which is contingent on a final development plan and other financing. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND RATIONALE FOR SALE BELOW THE APPRAISED VALUE: In accordance with the City's appraisal policy, as approved on November 3, 2010, an appraisal is not required for this disposition, as the determination of market value is uncomplicated and less than $20,000.00. The properties are to be sold below the appraised value and in- house value to allow for the creation of 30 single-family affordable homeownership units. · The community will receive the benefit of the development of 30 affordable homeownership units. These units will be affordable to households earning 80% or less of the area median income. · If the properties were sold for the in-house valuation, an additional subsidy of City CDBG funds in the amount of $137,577.00 would be required to subsidize the development. As it is now, the project is already maximizing the amount of available CDBG funds. 32 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd · The development will eliminate neighborhood blight caused by the City's vacant buildings and revitali- zation of the 700 and 800 blocks of Preston Street in the Johnston Square neighborhood. The vacant buildings will be renovated and sold as affordable homeownership units which will complement several adjacent develop- ments and projects, including the new City Arts Apartments in the 1500 block of Greenmount Avenue in the Greenmount West neighborhood, HABC's renovation of 38 scattered site public housing units in Johnston Square using Federal Stimulus money, and the construction of a 73 unit, green, affordable multi- family apartment building in the 1300 block of Greenmount Avenue by the French Development Company. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The Developer has signed the Commitment to comply with Article 5, Subtitle 28 of the Baltimore City Code and MBE and WBE goals established in the original agreement. (The land disposition agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 33 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 Department of Housing and ­ Community Development Block Community Development Grant Recovery Loan (CDBG-R) ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve a CDBG-R loan to People's Homesteading Group, Inc., (Borrower), in the amount of $50,000.00.

Their mission is to historically renovate the houses in the area and sell them to first time homebuyers. The Borrower is a certified Community Housing Organization and a Maryland non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization with offices located at 410 East North Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland. 34 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd In Phase I of Anchors of Hope III (Phase I), the Borrower renovated and sold eight homeownership units in the 400 Block of East 22nd Street. Six units of Phase I were supported in part by a HOME Loan in the amount of $320,000.00 approved by the Board in 2005 and two supplemental HOME loans approved by the Board in 2008 and 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $240,000.00. The Borrower has completed and sold the six units supported by HOME funds. The final two units will be renovated and sold with private funds. In this Phase of the project (Phase II), the Borrower will rehabilitate and sell nine additional units before it moves to another block in the Barclay-Midway neighborhood. The Borrower has finished renovating the first unit of Phase II at 431 East 22nd Street and obtained a valid contract from an approved, income-eligible first time homebuyer (the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer). The home has been completed and has been approved for occupancy by the Baltimore City Building and Inspections Division of Baltimore Housing. Settlement with the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer must occur before March 31, 2011, as the potential homebuyer holds an approved Section 8 voucher, which will be used to cover a portion of the monthly mortgage payment. Southern Mortgage will be the first lien holder on the first mortgage of $170,000.00. The CDBG-R Loan in the amount of $50,000.00 is to be disbursed as follows: $32,500.00 of the CDBG-R loan amount will be used to write-down to the project costs ($5,000.00 of the $32,500.00 will be used to purchase kitchen appliances and complete the corrective punch out items). The remaining $17,500.00 will be used to support the purchase by the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer. Time is of the essence as the prospective buyer will not be eligible to utilize the approved Section 8 voucher for homeownership after March 31, 2011. 35 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd Participating Parties: A. Developer: People's Homesteading Group, Inc. B. General Contractor/Architect: The rehabilitation of historic preservation standards has been completed and the home has received an occupancy permit from the Baltimore Housing Division of Building Inspection. Except for final punch out items and kitchen appliances, all work has been completed and inspected by the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer and by Baltimore Housing. C. Participating Lenders: The construction lender is Capital Bank, N.A. of Rockville, Maryland and requires pay-off at closing. Baltimore City, by the action of the Board of Estimates, is providing a $50,000.00 loan from CDBG-R funds (CDBG-R Loan). The CDBG-R loan will have an interest rate of zero percentage per annum on sums advanced, and have a maturity date of sixty days (the Maturity Date) from Board approval. Upon the sale of the unit, the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer will enter into documents satisfactory to the City to indicate that the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer is assuming $17,500.00 of the CDBG-R Loan (the Buyer's CDBG-R Loan), which is to be evidenced by a promissory note and structured as an unsecured loan with a term not to exceed 15 years commencing from the date of purchase (the period of affordability) and an interest rate of zero percent per annum. The CDBG-R Qualified Buyer will also execute and record a regulatory agreement (the Buyer's Regulatory Agreement) continuing certain affordability and other restrictions required by the CDBG-R Program. Under the terms of the Buyer's Regulatory Agreement, if the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer complies with all applicable 36 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd terms and covenants of the Buyer's CDBG-R Loan through the period of affordability, the Buyer's CDBG-R Loan is forgiven in its entirety. In the event a conveyance or a refinance occurs during the period of affordability, the CDBG-R Qualified Buyer is required to repay the Department all or a portion of the Buyer's CDBG-R Loan out of net proceeds, depending on how long the CDBG-R Buyer has lived in the unit. When the unit is sold to a CDBG-R Qualified Buyer, the Borrower's obligation under this CDBG-R Loan will be forgiven. The Department is requiring the Borrower to pay to the Department 50% of all sales proceeds in excess of the construction costs, as determined by a costs certification of allowable costs, plus the certified carrying charges, professional fees and developer fee as approved by the Department. This profit-sharing requirement will be addressed through provisions in the documents evidencing the CDBG-R Loan. It is anticipated, however, that even with the price support provided by the CDBG-R Loan, the sales price of the unit will be less than the costs of construction. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: Article 5, Subtitle 28 of the Baltimore City Code for Minority and Women's Business Opportunity is fully applicable and no request for waiver or exception has been made. 37 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 Department of Housing and ­ Land Disposition Agreement Community Development ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the land disposition agreement with Jonathan Bassford, developer, for the sale of the property located at 619 Willow Avenue. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $1,000.00 - Sale price BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: A good faith deposit in the amount of $500.00 has been received from the Developer. The project will consist of the conversion of this vacant lot into a side yard for the adjacent property located at 627 Willow Avenue. Once transferred and redeveloped the property will be active on the tax rolls of Baltimore City thereby preventing tax abandonment. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND RATIONALE FOR SALE BELOW THE APPRAISED VALUE: The appraised value of this property is $6,750.00, however due to the proposed use as a side yard, and the buyer's current maintenance of this property, such as removing trash and debris and cutting the grass at his own expense, the purchase price was reduced. The adjacent owner plans in the future to consolidate 619 Willow Avenue, currently in leasehold interest with 627 Willow Avenue, which is also in leasehold interest at their own expense and through their title company and maintain both properties in fee simple. The purchase will eliminate blight and offer a specific benefit to the immediate community. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The properties are not subject to Article 5, Subtitle 28 of the Baltimore City Code because they will be sold for less than $25,000.00. (The land disposition agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 38 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 Department of Housing and ­ HOME Loan Community Development ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize a HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) loan to Franklin Square Housing Limited Partnership (Borrower).

In addition to the gross leasable area, the proposed development will feature a surface parking lot, a community room, a laundry room, and an on-site management office. The building will be constructed to meet "Green Community" standards and will feature Energy Star light fixtures and appliances, as well as low flow faucets and high efficiency toilets, HVAC and water heaters. The tenants will also benefit from several amenities installed into their units, such as dishwashers, garbage disposals and over-the-range microwaves. In addition, resident services staff will assist residents with accessing no or low-cost adult education and after-school programs in the area. In 2010, Greater Baltimore AHC Inc. (GBAHC), the developer and the principal of the Borrower, completed the acquisition of the project out of foreclosure using Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds. Upon completion of the construction, there will be approximately 18 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom and 22 three-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 property currently has a one-year Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract, which will be renewed for twenty years once renovations are completed. The Borrower will provide no fewer than 11 units that are "long-term affordable" and reserved for the Non-Elderly Persons with Disabilities (NED) so that such NED Units meet the requirements of the Bailey Consent Decree. The term "Non-Elderly Person with Disabilities" 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. 40 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd Diversified Property Services Inc. prepared an appraisal for the Maryland Community Development Administration (CDA) dated January 7, 2011. The estimated market value of the subject property as if completed and stabilized at restricted rents with consideration to the tax credits is $4,088,400.00. The appraisal has been submitted to the Real Estate Department. The appraised value is below the total development cost of the project which is common for transactions involving low-income housing tax credits, subsidized rents and preferred governmental financing. As the low-income housing tax credits provide equity, they are not considered to be 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, is in place in order to allow for continuing affordability. The appraised value meets the underwriting standards for the must-pay permanent superior mortgage. The Department is comfortable with recommending the HOME loan as described under these circumstances. PARTICIPATING PARTIES: A. Owner/Developer Franklin Square Housing Limited Partnership (Borrower) will be the borrower of record; the GBAHC will act as the Developer and is the general partner of the Borrower. The Community Preservation and Development Corporation, or an affiliate thereof, will own approximately 21% of the limited partnership interests for tax purposes but will not have any management duties or responsibilities with regards to the Borrower. B. General Contractor/Architect: Linden Contracting will act as general contractor. Marks Thomas Architects will provide architectural services. 41 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/16/2011 DHCD ­ cont'd C.
