AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: 2073-000000-1424-160800-603013 - Loan & Guarantee Fund Amount to be determined by appraisal BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On November 28, 1984, the Board approved a ground lease of the Land, effective November 01, 1984, for a term of 60 years to Arcade. Pursuant to an Installment Purchase Agreement, the City sold the Building to Arcade, and pursuant to the Lease, the City leased the Building and the Land back from Arcade. The aim of this series of transactions was to provide a financing mechanism for the construction of the Lexington Market Arcade. As of December 01, 1992, in order to take advantage of lower interest rates, the Board approved a restructuring of the above transactions by replacing the Installment Sales Agreement with a conveyance of the Lexington Market Arcade Building to the Arcade pursuant to a Deed and Bill of Sale and approved certain changes to the Lease relating primarily to the amount of rent and dates on which the purchase option may be exercised. The Lease has an initial term of 30 years terminating on October 31, 2014, with the City having the right to extend the term for an additional three five-year renewal periods. The Lease provides an appraisal protocol by which the fair rental value rent for the renewal periods is to be determined. 54 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 06/04/2014 Department of Finance – cont’d Furthermore, the Lease also provides that the City has an option to purchase the Building back from Arcade on certain specified dates as more particularly therein set forth. The Lease provides an appraisal protocol by which the fair market value purchase price for the City’s acquisition of the Building is determined. According to the Lease, the new rental rate and the purchase price are determined independently by the appraisers. The determination of the appraisers is final. To retain possession of the Building, the City must irrevocably exercise its option to renew the Lease or purchase the Building. The Department of Finance requests that in order to preserve the City’s rights to the Building, the Director of Finance be authorized to exercise his judgment in the purchase and/or lease renewal options as needed. Once the purchase price for the acquisition of the Building and/or the renewal rent are determined, the Board will be advised of such amounts. 55 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 06/04/2014 Department of Finance - Targeted Homeowners Tax Credit Rate ACTION REQUESTED OF B/E: The Board is requested pursuant to Article 28 § 10-16 of the Baltimore City Code, to set the rate for the Targeted Homeowners Tax Credit at $0.1800 per $100.00 of improved assessed value.
