(The agreements have been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 28 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 Baltimore Development – First Modification to Amended Corporation (BDC) and Restated Note ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the first modification to amended and restated note with Living Classrooms Foundation, Inc. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The action requested will 1) reduce the outstanding principal loan balance from $475,419.73 to $400,000.00, and 2) reduce the interest rate on the loan concurrently from 5.625% to 2.0%. On July 5, 1989, the City provided a $600,000.00 term loan to then, The Lady Maryland Foundation, Inc. (now known as: Living Classrooms Foundations, Inc. “LCF”) to construct a shipyard and job-training program on Center Dock in the Inner Harbor East Urban Renewal area. The facility was to train students for specific jobs in shipbuilding and repairs, marina and boatyard management, and similar maritime trades. The $600,000.00 loan structure in 1989 was, principal and interest deferred for two years, then fully amortizing for 15 years at 8.0% (cost of City funds at the time). In 1994 the loan was refinanced (under the name, Living Classrooms) by the City at 5.625% with a principal balance of $600,000.00, with additional balloon interest of $126,562.50 due and payable in one lump sum on July 1, 2023. The additional $126,562.50 was accrued interest on the original principal sum from November 1, 1989 to July 31, 1993. Currently, the LCF is paying $3,751.00 (principal and interest) per month that began on August 1, 1995 and was to continue these payments through maturity (July 1, 2023), with the balloon interest payment to be paid at maturity on July 1, 2023. All principal and interest payments are current. According to the City records the balance that was owed on July 1, 2013 is $480,844.87 which includes the balloon interest payment. 29 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 BDC – cont’d Request: The LCF is requesting that all amounts owed to the City over $400,000.00 ($75,419.73) be forgiven and that the rate of interest be reduced from 5.625% to 2.0%. The remaining $400,000.00 principal loan balance will be amortized over a period of 15 years, making LCF’s monthly loan payment $2,574.00 a month or $30,888.00 annually. According to the LCF, forgiving a portion of the loan will free up $21,000.00 per year by the LCF restricting $0.21 per $1.00 of the first $100,000.00 raised through unrestricted contributions each year. The foundation will invest these funds in programs that will directly benefit the City. The LCF operates within its program of activities Project SERVE (Service-Empowerment-Revitalization-Volunteerism-Employment Training). Project SERVE provides on-the-job training for unemployed and disadvantaged young adults in marketable skills while they revitalize Baltimore neighborhoods. For its fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the borrower spent $284,855.00 on Project SERVE (the “2012 Baseline”). The borrower agrees to increase its financial commitment to Project SERVE over the next six years in an amount equal to the forgiven amount. No later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the borrower will provide the City with a certification by its chief financial officer stating the amount of funds spent during the preceding fiscal year on Project SERVE, including a statement as to the amount of such annual expenditure over the 2012 Baseline (each an “Annual Excess Amount”). If as of the certification to be delivered by March 31, 2019, the total of all Annual Excess Amounts is less than the forgiven amount, then the borrower will pay the difference to the City on demand. In addition, the borrower will restrict such funds for Project SERVE in a dedicated account. Project SERVE’s major goals are to positively impact communities with direct services, provide workforce development, increase education and service-learning opportunities, help keep City neighborhoods clean and safe, and help provide housing renovations for low-income residents. Individuals enrolled in 30 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 BDC – cont’d SERVE live mostly in East Baltimore neighborhoods characterized by crime and violence, and generally suffer from poverty and involvement in the drug culture.

MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The Hilton–North Avenue Limited Partnership has signed a Commitment to Comply with the Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise Program. (The second amendment to the land disposition agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 45 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 Department of Housing & - Land Disposition Agreement Community Development ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of a land disposition agreement with Samko, LLC, developer for 1434 W. Baltimore Street and 1821 Pennsylvania Avenue. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $10,000.00 – 1434 W. Baltimore Street 8,000.00 – 1821 Pennsylvania Avenue $18,000.00 – Purchase Price BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The project will consist of the rehabilitation of the two properties. Once rehabbed, each property will be rented as residential and commercial units. The upper levels on both buildings will be used for residential while the lower levels will be used for commercial purposes. The project will be privately funded. The developer plans to invest $170,000.00 into the project. The sale of these properties once developed could generate a considerable amount of revenue each in real estate property taxes to the City of Baltimore, thereby preventing tax abandonment. The properties were journalized and approved for sale on December 22, 2010. The properties were priced pursuant to the Appraisal Policy using the waiver valuation process. The property at 1434 W. Baltimore Street was priced at $9,250.00 and 1821 Pennsylvania was priced at $7,167.00. The properties are being sold for more than the price determined by the waiver valuation. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The developer will purchase the properties for a price that is less than $50,000.00 and will receive no City funds or incentives for the purchase or rehabilitation, therefore MBE/WBE is not applicable. (The land disposition agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 46 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 Department of Housing - Expenditure of Funds & Community Development ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve an expenditure of funds to reimburse TRF Development Partners Baltimore, LLC (TRF DP) for acquisition related expenses in the Oliver community as contemplated by the Baltimore City Affordable Housing Program.

Chase St. $378,063.82 - 9910-906460-9588-900000-704040 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: To facilitate the furtherance of the project, the TRF DP has spent $378,063.82 of its private funds for the acquisition of the foregoing privately held abandoned properties in the Oliver Community. On September 13, 2006, the Board approved funding in the amount of $1,155,800.00 from the Affordable Housing Trust. The funds are for acquisition, relocation of occupants, and demolition of properties within the Southwestern portion of the Oliver neighborhood, including the 1500 and 1600 blocks of E. Preston Street, the 1600 blocks of Ellsworth Streets and Hakesley Place and the 1200 and 1300 blocks of N. Dallas and N. Bond Streets. This area has subsequently become commonly referred to as the Preston Place redevelopment zone. 47 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DHCD – cont’d On June 26, 2013, the Board approved an amendment to the September 13, 2006 Board Memo, which expanded the boundaries of the project to include the 1200 block of Broadway, the 1200 and 1300 block of N. Caroline Street and the 1500 and 1600 blocks of E. Biddle and E. Chase Streets. The Baltimore City Affordable Housing Program was established by Ordinance No. 06-181 to improve and expand housing opportunities for working families and other persons of low and moderate income and to promote economic diversity in City neighborhoods. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the program, the Commissioner may expend up to 100% of the program funds for grants and loans to implement the core program activities, which include: acquisition, relocation, demolition, and site preparation. The Commissioner may spend up to 15% of the funds for preservation, rehabilitation and development of economically diverse housing in City neighborhoods. The TRF DP is a recognized Baltimore City Community Housing Development Organization serving the East Baltimore Community and it has invested over $11.2 million of federal, state and private resources to acquire, demolish, rehabilitate, and construct properties in the Preston Place redevelopment zone. The DHCD and the TRF DP and its affiliates have established a long term working relationship to acquire, demolish, rehabilitate, construct, sell, lease and manage properties for the express purpose of stabilizing the community in and around the Preston Place redevelopment zone. The Board approved a Land Disposition Agreement to transfer 155 properties to the TRF DP, in furtherance of the Preston Place redevelopment initiative on July 2, 2008. The Board approved a Land Disposition Agreement to transfer 43 properties to the TRF Development Partners, in conjunction with the Preston Place redevelopment initiative on June 20, 2012. 48 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DHCD – cont’d The Preston Place area has been extended to include the 1100 and 1200 blocks of N. Broadway under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP3). As part of the NSP3 project, the City of Baltimore, TRF Development Partners-Baltimore-LLC and East Baltimore Development Incorporated (EBDI) are working together to redevelop at least thirty-three abandoned homes in the expanded Preston Place zone. The project will invest $6,800,000.00 of federal, state, and private funds in the Preston Place redevelopment zone. Since 2008, the partnership between the DHCD and TRF DP has resulted in the construction and rehabilitation of over 60 homes serving over 130 Baltimore City residents in the Preston Place redevelopment footprint. The TRF DP’s activity has reduced the vacancy rate in the area by 30%. APPROVED FOR FUNDS BY FINANCE 49 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 Department of Housing and – Memorandum of Understanding Community Development (DHCD) ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Inclusionary Housing in Harbor Point with Beatty Development Group, LLC (Beatty Development Group). AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: No City funds are requested. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The developer, Beatty Development Group is undertaking the Harbor Point project in the City of Baltimore. On September 09, 2013, the City Council approved legislation authorizing the City to issue Tax Increment Financing (TIF) bonds to support the Harbor Point project. The TIF is considered to be a public subsidy under the City’s Inclusionary Housing Law and triggers a review by the DHCD. The required DHCD review of the Harbor Point Project determined how many, if any Inclusionary Housing units must be built in conjunction with the development. Based on the provisions of the Inclusionary Housing Law in this case, the DHCD Commissioner determined that the Harbor Point Project is exempt from the requirement to create affordable housing under the Inclusionary Housing Law. The Beatty Development Group supports the policy goals of Inclusionary Housing and has agreed voluntarily to provide either housing units or contribute money to the City in support of Inclusionary Housing. The Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Inclusionary Housing in Harbor Point sets forth the terms and conditions of the agreement. The following summarizes the key points of the Memorandum of Understanding: 50 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DHCD - cont’d 1) Beatty Development Group will contribute $30,000.00 per unit for 10% of the units in any building containing residential units to the Inclusionary Housing Fund (Fund). These funds can be used City-wide for any purpose allowed for the Fund. 2) The DHCD has developed a methodology under the Inclusionary Housing Law to determine a dollar value for each Inclusionary Housing unit. The Beatty Development Group may, at its option, replace the cash contribution described above with Inclusionary Housing units in the Harbor Point Project area on a dollar for dollar basis. 3) The units that Beatty Development Group contributes are restricted in the following ways: a) no more than half of the developer’s contribution to each building may be made as Inclusionary Housing units. This ensures that the City receives Inclusionary Housing funds to use throughout the City, b) no unit may be available to a tenant earning more than 80% of the Area Median Income, c) no more than half of the units contributed (by dollar value) can be efficiency apartments, and d) each unit contributed must be affordable as Inclusionary Housing for 30 years. The Beatty Development Group may exercise a ‘buy-out’ option to reduce that period of affordability after the 15th year. If the developer buys out the unit, it must pay the balance of the value of the unit as determined in section (a) above. 51 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DHCD - cont’d Based on the initial development plans and projections used by the City to support the TIF, the Developer is planning to produce as many as 914 housing units on site. In addition, the developer is intending to amend the plan to include another 109 units bringing the total planned residential unit count to 1023. Under the memorandum of understanding, if the developer actually builds this many units, the total contribution to the Fund would be $3,069,000.00. This figure is likely to change as the developer refines the development plan over time. The memorandum of understanding does not place any obligation on the City as to the geographic use of the Inclusionary Housing Funds contributed. As noted above, the funds would be deposited into the Inclusionary Housing Fund and would be available to support City-wide Inclusionary Housing Goals. (The Memorandum of Understanding has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 52 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 Department of Housing and - Acquisition by Gift Community Development (DHCD) ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve the acquisition by gift of the leasehold interest of the property located at 410 S.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The Community Legacy Program is a Smart Growth tool that catalyzes new investment in older neighborhoods and business districts in support of local revitalization plans. Community Legacy funds assist urban neighborhoods that have a comprehensive approach to reversing disinvestment in communities. Community Legacy provides resources to assist local governments and their nonprofit community development partners in realizing comprehensive community revitalization initiatives. The program is intended as a flexible resource to fill key funding gaps not being met by other State or local financing and to position older communities for increased private investment. According to the State, funded projects should capitalize on the strengths of a community and be part of a larger revitalization strategy to revitalize a declining area. Projects/activities typically include, but are not limited to: • mixed-use development consisting of residential, commercial and/or open space, • business retention, expansion, and attraction initiatives, 83 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DHCD – cont’d • streetscape improvements, • increasing homeownership and home rehabilitation among residents, • residential and commercial façade improvement programs, • real estate acquisition, including land banking, and strategic demolition, and • establishing funds to provide loan guarantees and credit enhancement to leverage other public or private financing.

Kraft, Councilman, to solicit donations from local individuals and businesses to fund the continued operation of supplementary programs in First District Schools. The period of the campaign will be effective upon Board approval through June 30, 2014. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: No general funds are involved in this transaction. BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The Southeast Schools Fund has been established with the Baltimore City Foundation in order to maintain these funds. Expenditures will be reviewed at meetings, including representatives of participating schools and other involved community members. A potential donor list will be comprised of businesses and individuals who have a history of participating in activities related to the content matter or specific programs, or who live or do business in the communities served by participating schools. Most of the individuals and corporate entities fitting that description are not controlled donors. However, those potential donors who are controlled donors will not be targeted or singled out in any way and will not be solicited, if at all, in the same manner as all other potential donors. There is an acute need to provide Baltimore City students with supplementary programs that will allow them to explore issues and activities beyond the classroom.

An exception was enacted in 2005 to permit certain solicitations that are for the benefit of an official governmental program or activity, or a City-endorsed charitable function or activity. Ethics Regulation 96.26B sets out the standards for approval, which includes the requirement that the program, function, or activity to be benefited and the proposed solicitation campaign must be endorsed by the Board of Estimates or its designee. 94 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 Office of the President- Agreement ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of an agreement with the University of Maryland Foundation (Foundation), acting on behalf of the Shriver Peaceworker Program.

The period of the IQC is effective upon Board approval for 18 months. The Baltimore City IQC No. GS-13810 will be used for agreements with the following firms: 1. JOHN W. BRAWNER CONTRACTING CO., INC. $2,000,000.00 (not to exceed) 2. CENTENNIAL CONTRACTORS ENTERPRISES, INC. $2,000,000.00 (not to exceed) 3. TITO CONTRACTORS, INC. $2,000,000.00 (not to exceed) 4.

HESS CONSTRUCTION + $2,000,000.00 ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. (not to exceed) 150 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DGS – cont’d BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Pursuant to Md. Code, State Finance and Procurement Art. §13- 110, a local entity, such as the City, may utilize an intergovernmental cooperative purchasing agreement when it is demonstrated that efficiency and savings can result from the intergovernmental cooperative purchasing agreement and when the government entity that originally let the contract permits its use by another governmental entity. The City Schools contract specifically permits use of the City Schools contract by the City, but requires that the City enter into its own contract with each of the contractors. The City Charter at Article VI, §11(e)(i) allows an exception to formal advertisement when “no advantage will result in seeking, or it is not practicable to obtain competitive bids.” Because of the urgent need for the type work that is the basis of the City Schools contract, no advantage would result from DGS seeking and it would not be practicable to obtain competitive bids for the general contracting work that is the basis of the City Schools contract. On August 14, 2013, your Honorable Board approved a request by the Department of General Services to utilize the Baltimore City Public Schools Indefinite Quantity Contract BCS # 10042, On-Call Construction Management, Pre-Construction & Construction & Construction Services for General Construction Work and Related Services. Baltimore City Public Schools conducted a competitive bidding process in selecting the contractors under its contract. While DGS will “piggyback” onto the City Schools contract as permitted under the law, the DGS intends to use the contract to perform smaller general construction projects with values ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000.00 and will conduct an informal bidding process for each task among the contractors selected through the City Schools competitive bid process. Use of the City Schools contractors will provide administrative efficiencies and savings, as using the City Schools contractors will permit the City to respond in an expeditious manner to construction issues that require immediate attention, rather than having to put the project out for competitive bid. 151 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 10/09/2013 DGS – cont’d This IQC contract will remain in effect for (18 months) from the date of approval by the Board. The City does not guarantee that any work will be issued under this IQC contract, which is being established solely to provide a method for the Department of General Services to complete work deemed urgent in nature. Funds will be identified as urgent needs arise. The City’s IQC contracts with the selected contractors will follow current laws, policies, resolutions and ordinances of the City, including Employ Baltimore, Youthworks, and BATP. In addition, the MWBOO subcontractors will be certified through the City’s processes. In accordance with City law, Contractors and their subcontractors must be pre-qualified by the City’s Office of Boards and Commissions prior to being awarded or starting work under the contract. All of the Contractors are Pre-Qualified with Baltimore City, have committed to meet the aggregate contract MBE goals using City certified minority firms, will adhere to City Minimum Hourly Wage Rates, adhere to the City of Baltimore Specifications, 2006, and will provide the necessary insurance and bonding for all assigned work. The Department of General Services hereby certifies that written notice of the basis for the use of the City Schools contract has been provided to the Department of Finance in accordance with City Charter at Article VI, §11(e)(i). MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: MWBOO GOALS HAVE NOT BEEN SET AT THIS TIME FOR THE PROJECTS. The Chief of the City’s Minority and Women’s Business Opportunity Office (MWBOO) has shown his interest in following up the MWBOO normal practice of setting up MBE/WBE participation goals on a task-to-task basis.
