Interim Redevelopment Director Steel addressed item regarding Owner Participation
Agreement with the Azusa Unified School District, and its acquisition of property located
at 429 North Azusa Avenue, which will be used as an Adult Education Center. He detailed
how the City will be assisting the School District in acquiring the property by paying off
debt obligations through a former agreement with AUSD as well as providing a loan to
them which combined will total approximately $690,000. He also stated that the two
properties owned by Agency on San Gabriel could possibly be utilized as a day care center.
He then detailed AUSD and Agency Obligations and advised that no definitive site plans

wished to obtain Boardmembers conceptual approval before they enter into a purchase and
sale agreement. After he explained more about the funding issues, he recommended that
Boardmembers approve the proposed financing commitments with the final commitments
subject to negotiation of an Owner Participation Agreement.
