Ih considering proposed amendments to this Agreement or the Approved Application,HUD shall review, among other things, whether the amendment would have affected the ranking of the application in the year it was approved sufficiently to have resulted in the application not ranking high enough for funding, and whetoer the amendment is otherwise consistent with the Act, the Regulations, and the NOFA. Any increase in the amount of the approved BEDI Grant represents a new grant obligation by HUD and must be documented by a formal amendment to this Agreement, or a new BEDI Grant Agreement, executed on behalf of the parties by officials with the authority to execute the original Agreement. b. The Recipient shall at all times maintain an up-to-date copy of its Approved Application, including all amendments approved in writing by HUD, and all drawdowns, deposits, and expenditures of grant funds and program income under this Agreement and any other records required by 24 CFR 570.506, in its files and available for audit or inspection by duly authorized representatives of HUD or the Comptroller General of the United States. 9. Default; Remedies. A default under this Agreement shall consist of any use of grant funds other than as authorized by this Agreement, any other noncompliance with this Agreement deemed material by HUD, or any misrepresentation or omission in the application submissions which, if known to HUD, would have resulted in this grant not being provided.

I've provided answers in blue text below your questions. Please call me at 473-2376, or on my cell phone at 509-2804 if you have any follow-up questions on this issue. From: Roy Runyon [mailto:d4bremerton@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, August 27,2009 11:18 PM To: City Council Subject: BED! grant and loan I have some information requests and questions regarding the BEDI grant and loan the Council will be asked to approve obligating the City to accept: 1. Was the grant (and loan) application vetted by the City Administrator, Finance Director and DCD Director before the presentation was made to the Council during the last study session? Yes. The Agenda Bill was discussed at the weekly Department Head meeting and received all typical approvals prior to presentation to Council last Wednesday. 2. If not, why not? City council policy requires that proposals for applying for grants be approved by the mayor BEFORE they corne to the council. N/A 3. Though the loan interest rate is unbeatable, I'm concerned about committing our CDBG funding as collateral for the loan. What other forms of collateral have been identified to satisfy HUDs requirement? Unfortunately, HUD requires the pledge of CDBG funds as security for the Section 108 loan - attached is a fact sheet which provides additional information on Section 108 financing for your information. Note that the two types of financing available under Section 108 are "Interim Financing" and long-term bond financing. The Interim financing rate is a variable rate, set at UBOR + 0.20%; the bond rate is set when the bond is sold. HUD indicated that the bond rate is typically equal to the Treasury Rate. At this time, we're only requesting permission to apply for the Section 108 loan, and intend to provide more detailed information regarding the annual debt service of the loan when we present the loan to Council for approval. That said, if 9/2/2009 Page 2 of3 the City opted to obtain the $2.8M Section 108 loan and the interim financing rate were to remain stable at the current 0.61 %, the typical principal and interest payment amortized over 20-years would be on the order of $150,000 annually. Finally, note that in communication with HUD (see attached e-mail) they indicated that neither the Grant, nor the Section 108 loan funds can be expended until after we've received "an environmental release from HUD." Since the proposed funding would be used for construction only, I understand this to mean that these funds would not be available until after permits are in-hand. 4. Related to number 3, under what circumstances might the City default on the BEDI loan and therefore jeopordize CDBG funding or other resources? We'd be in default if we didn't make a payment. 5. To reiterate, please make available to council copies of the Econ Northwest Study on the economic benefits of the Boardwalk. This might give us some indication of the ability of the City to handle the debt. I'm more interested in Boardwalk-derived direct financial benefits in the form of prospective propety values, sales tax revenues and yes, B&O revenues. Attached is a copy of the ECONorthwest study. Note that the study evaluated two scenarios; a "fair share" scenario where the boardwalk would cause an initial 10% increase in tourism in Bremerton and then cause annual tourism to be comparable to the State Average, and an "upper quintile" scenario where the boardwalk would cause an initial 20% increase in tourism and then cause tourism to be on par with the top counties in the State. Key excerpts from the report are included in the two tables presented below.

ECONorthwest has stated that it is therefore likely that the model results will actually under-estimate the economic benefits of the boardwalk project. Also note that the "State and Local Tax Revenues" presented in the two tables are a combination of sales tax, property tax, and other tax revenues collected county-wide. To be able to respond to your question more completely, I asked ECONorthwest to provide a breakdown of the City's share of the tax revenues - they provided the following information: Fair Share Estimated Bremerton From Table 1 of Reoort Share Year Annual Cumulative Annual Cumulative Year 1 $872,000 $872,000 $46,853 $46,853 Year 2 $939,200 $1,811,200 $50,464 $97,318 Year 3 $1,010,700 $2,821,900 $54,306 $151,624 Year 4 $1,086,600 $3,908,500 $58,384 $210,008 Year 5 $1,167,200 $5,075,700 $62,715 $272,723 Year6 $1,252,800 / $6,328,500 $67,314 $340,037 Year 7 $1,343,700 $7,672,200 $72,198 $412,235 9/212009 Page 3 of3 L:8 $1,440,200 $9,112,400 $77,383 $489,619 $489,619 Total U Q"f1 'Doer um Ie Estimated Bremerton Year From Table 2 of Report Share Annual Cumulative Annual Cumulative Year 1 $1,744,000 $1,744,000 $93,707 $93,707 Year 2 $1,989,300 $3,733,300 $106,887 $200,594 Year 3 $2,255,000 $5,988,300 $121,163 $321,757 Year 4 $2,542,600 $8,530,900 $136,617 $458,374 Year 5 $2,853,600 $11,384,500 $153,327 $611,701 Year 6 $3,189,700 $14,574,200 $171,386 $783,087 Year 7 $3,552,600 $18,126,800 $190,885 $973,972 Year 8 $3,944,200 $22,071,000 $211,926 $1,185,897 Total $1,185,897 6. Since the Boardwalk is no longer a Wastewater project, would debt service payments be handled via the General Fund or could we/would we establish a Special Revenue Fund for the purpose? Debt incurred in construction of the Boardwalk Project would be a General Fund obligation. Thanks ahead of time for your complete and thoughtful responses to my questions and information requests.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECTION 108 LOAN GUARANTEES Section 108 is the loan guarantee provision of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Section 108 provides communities and states with a means of leveraging their CDBG funds to obtain additional financing resources for economic development, public facilities, large-scale physical development projects and housing rehabilitation. Regulations governing the Section 108 program may be found at Title 24 Code of Federal Register Part 570, Subpart M "Loan Guarantees". ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS AND ACTIVITIES Eligible Applicants. Eligible applicants include the following public entities: . CDBG entitlement entities, and . Nonentitlement communities that are assisted in the submission of applications by States that administer the CDBG program. Eligible Activities. Activities eligible for Section 108 financing include: . Economic development activities eligible under CDBG; . Acquisition of real property; . Rehabilitation of publicly-owned real property; . Related relocation costs; . Clearance, demolition, and removal on acquired or rehabilitated public property (including environmental cleanup); . Site preparation including construction, reconstruction, or installation of public facilities related to property acquired or rehabilitated using Section 108 funds or for economic development purposes; . Payment of interest on the guaranteed loan and issuance costs of public offerings; . Debt service reserves; . Housing rehabilitation eligible under CDBG; and . In limited circumstances, housing construction as part of community economic development. Public entities may directly use the funds or may re..loan funds to businesses, non-profits or other third parties to undertake eligible activities. All CDBG regulations apply. As with the CDBG program, projects and activities must either principally benefit low and moderate income persons, aid in the elimination or prevention of slums and blight, or meet urgent needs of the community. Section 108 loan guarantee funds are included in the requirement that 70% of all CDBG expenditures must benefit persons of low and moderate income. HOW THE PROGRAM OPERATES Maximum Commitment Amount. Commitments are limited as follows: · An entitlement entity may apply for up to five times the public entity's latest CDBG entitlement amount, minus any outstanding Section 108 commitments or principal balances on Section 108 loans. · A nonentitlement entity may apply for up to five times the latest CDBG amount received by its State, minus any outstanding Section 108 commitments or principal balances on Section 108 loans for which the State has pledged its CDBG as security. State programs may apply additional restrictions. Financing Source. Section 108 obligations are financed annually through underwritten public offerings in which fixed rate notes are sold to private investors. To ensure the marketability of Section 108 notes, HUD provides a 100 percent full faith and credit guarantee to investors. Financing between public offerings is provided through an interim lending facility established by HUD. Although HUD coordinates the funding process, it does not have a direct role in the flow of funds. The interim lender and investors provide funds, underwriters and the Fiscal Agent manage the transactions, and the locality and any third party participants borrow the funds. Security. Security for the loan guarantee includes a pledge by the public entity or State (in the case of ncinentit]ement entities) of its current and future CDBG funds. The CDBO funds are not escrowed and may continue to be used as planned. Additional security is also required, which provides a safeguard to reduce the risk to CDBO funds. The additional security requirements will be determined on a case-by- case basis, but could include assets financed by the guaranteed loan. Loan Repayment. The maximum repayment period for a Section 108 loan is 20 years. Interim loan interest payments are due quartel']y on the first day of the months of February, May, August, and November. On permanent loans, principal payments are due once a year on August 1 and interest payments are due twice a year on August 1 and February 1. Principal payments must be made in increments of $1 ,000. Interest begins accruing from the date the funds are deposited in the entity's account. HUD has the ability to structure the principal amortization to match the needs of the project and borrower. Prepayment. Investors buying the Section 108 notes are guaranteed the timely payment of principal and interest for a ten-year period. Technically, the borrowe"r cannot prepay the loan during this period. However, by guaranteeing the income stream to the investor through a deposit of funds with a Fiscal Agent, the borrower is defeasing or voiding the Section 108 obligation. Interim loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Jurisdictions do have the options of remaining in the interim financing facility for the term of the loan. Interest Rates. Interest rates on interim borrowing are priced at the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LlBOR) plus 20 basis points (0.2%). Interest rates on obligations sold in public offerings will be determined by market conditions at the time but generally will be slightly lower than yields on Federal agency securities (e.g. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) with comparable terms. Financing Fees. The only financing fees of the Section 108 program are those related to issuance of the Section 108 notes, such as fees to the underwriters and the Fiscal Agent and any other expenses related to the offering. Total financing fees will generally be one-half to one percent (0.5% - 1.0%) of principal. Other than these up-front fees, no additional maintemince fees are charges for permanent Section 108 notes. Interim loans are charged a $100 quarterly fee. Regulations. All CDBG program regulations such as citizen participation, Davis-Bacon, and relocation/displacement compliance must be met. The environmental assessment must be compk~ted prior to incurring or expending any project costs. Developing an Application. Applications for Section 108 guarantees are accepted throughout the year. Public entities wishing to apply for Section 108 loan guarantee assistance are advised to contact HUD in ad vance for guidance in preparing an application. For assistance contact: Donna J.
