• Authorizes a 2%, 3-year loan in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 to the Jacksonville Housing

Authority (JHA) for the demolition and environmental remediation of the Downtown East

Apartments (formerly known as Franklin Arms)

• Appropriates $1,000,000 in debt to fund the loan

• The estimated cost of the demolition and environmental remediation is $683,224

• The City previously appropriated $1.5 million in ARP funding toward the purchase of this

property pursuant to Ord. 2023-672-E

• JHA plans to redevelop the property into 130-units of housing for seniors aged 55+ earning

30-70% of AMI

COMMENT

The legislation authorizes the City to borrow commercial paper or fixed-rate debt to fund the

loan. It is anticipated that the City will use commercial paper due to the 3-year term for the loan.

Given the one-time nature of this expenditure, the duration of the loan, and the City's current rate

on commercial paper (approximately 2.5%), General Fund Operating Reserves should be

considered as a funding source for the loan.

AUDITOR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT

We recommend revising the Loan Term Sheet to 1) clarify that closing expenses will be paid by

JHA and 2) disburse the loan on a work performed and invoiced basis after receipt of supporting

documentation from JHA
