CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL 1 J 0 -,—
FROM: BRUCE A. COLEMAN, ECONOMIC/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER �'1�✓j
DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 2007
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A $105,000 CDBG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOAN FOR 11 FORNO
RESTAURANT, 619 NORTH AZUSA AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Economic Development
Loan Agreement for up to $105,000 between City of Azusa and 11 Forno Restaurant. The loan proceeds will be
used for working capital, in accordance with the Economic Development Loan Program guidelines. The working
capital will enable the business to secure an on sale general — eating place liquor license - ABC License Type 47
("liquor license"), increase operating revenue, and thus create and retain two full-time equivalent jobs and
potentially create one full-time equivalent job for persons from low- and moderate -income households.
BACKGROUND
The Program:
The Economic Development Loan Program ("EDLP") was adopted by the City Council with the approval of
Resolution No. 07-C73 on August 6, 2007. The loan program was designed to create and retain jobs for
individuals from low- and moderate -income households by encouraging the development of new businesses and
the retention of existing businesses within the EDLP Downtown Azusa Target Area. The focus of the program is
to retain existing retail, encourage and promote new retail, quality sit-down restaurants, and entertainment
businesses to locate in Downtown Azusa. The program is funded through the Community Development Block
Grant ("CDBG") program and all applicants must comply with all applicable US Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD"), County of Los Angeles, and EDLP regulations. Applications are reviewed and approved on
a first-come first -serve basis.
The Applicant
11 Forno opened in March 2007 and has served as Azusa's first new downtown restaurant anchor. During its five
months of operation, it has garnered considerable support from the community as it provides a much needed
upscale sit-down restaurant. On average, 11 Forno's sales have increased 20% monthly since it opened. Although II
Forno's clientele is growing at a steady pace, the owner is seeking financial assistance so that it may purchase a
liquor license. The additional revenue generated by the liquor license will allow the business owner to create and
retain two full-time jobs, and potentially create one additional job in early January 2008. These positions will
allow the restaurant to continue to offer full service operations to solidify its customer base.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
September 17, 2007
Loan for 11 Forno Restaurant
Page 2of2
Application Process
II Forno submitted its application to the Redevelopment Agency on August 8, 2007. The EDLP guidelines require
that an applicant demonstrate that jobs would be lost without agency assistance. The information provided on
the loan application by Il Forno was reviewed and verified by securing copies of its Point -of -Sale receipts, and
copies of the various business expenses. The analysis concluded that jobs will be lost without agency assistance.
On September 6, 2007 the Economic Development Loan Committee (EDLC), comprised of Alan Kreimeier,
Director of.Administrative Services/CFO, Bruce Coleman, Economic/Community Development Director, and
Robert Person, Assistant City Manager, convened a loan review meeting. Staff presented its findings and review
of the loan application to the loan committee. Staff recommended that II Forno either secure a liquor license by
entering the intercounty liquor license lottery or by purchasing one on the open market.' An intercounty lottery
license would cost approximately $70,000, while a license purchased on the open market would cost $105,000.
Staff recommends that the EDLP loan amount be equal to the cost of the working capital required to secure the
liquor license.
11 Forno will be notified by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control by no later than October 20, 2007 if it
qualifies to purchase an intercounty liquor license. If 11 Forno is granted the right to purchase an intercounty liquor
license, then the staff recommends that a loan amount of $70,000 be granted. This loan amount would require
that II Forno retain one job position and create one job position for individuals from low -and moderate -income
households. However, if 11 Forno is not granted the right to purchase an intercounty liquor license, then staff
recommends a loan amount of $105,000 be granted, which would require that two job positions be retained and
one job position be created for individuals from low -and moderate -income households.
Upon review of 11 Forno's application, its income and expenses, its objectives to retain and create jobs for
individuals from low- and moderate -income households, the EDLC voted unanimously to recommend that the
City Council approve a loan amount up to $105,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
As directed by the City Council on August 6, 2007, a budget amendment for $125,000 was prepared to fund the
Economic Development Loan Program. Currently, $125,000 is available and payable from CDBG funds. The
funding of this loan will leave between $55,000 and $20,000 remaining for the Economic Development Loan
Program.

INFORMAL HEARING - PUBLIC NUISANCE APPEAL FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 204 E.
FOOTHILL BLVD. AND 632 N. ALAMEDA AVENUE (FREEMAN'S TOWING AND AUTO BODY
REPAIR).
Community Improvement Supervisor Mc Minn addressed the Hearing stating that this is an
appeal by property owner Lee Patterson for above noted property due to an order of
abatement issued at a Public Nuisance Hearing held on June 27, 2007. The towing and auto
repair businesses and operations located at 204 E. Foothill Blvd. and 632 N. Alameda
Avenue became nonconforming uses on January 6, 1983 and a 20 year amortization expired
on January 3, 2003. At the City Council meeting held on August 15, 2005, City Council
approved an extension of the amortization period for the towing service use and the auto
body/repair uses only until February 1, 2007 with the following conditions that there can be
no further extension of time and the uses shall cease before the deadline, and there can be
no expansion of the amortized uses in the interim. At that same meeting Council
determined that the U -Haul truck rental business for "office use only" cease operations on
January 1, 2006. Currently the business license for Freeman's Towing Services was closed
out on March 14, 2007, and the auto repair business license was closed out on April 30,
2007. Due to the non -conforming uses of the property, the business license will not be
renewed due to the following violations: 1. The customer parking spaces are blocked by the
storage of several tow vehicles. (Precise Plan of Design P-1184 requiresl8 parking spaces
for customer parking. Violation of amortization of nonconforming uses and Sections 10-I,
88.54.080(B), 88.60.030 and 14-412(6) AMC Azusa Municipal Code. 2. There is no
business license on File for the towing service, in violation of Section 18-5 Azusa Municipal
Code. 3. The continuous use of the parking spaces by U -Haul vehicles is an illegal use,
in violation of Sections 10-1, 14-412(6), 88.54.080(6), 88.60.030 and 18-5 AMC Azusa
Municipal Code. 4. The business license on file for the U -Haul business is for "office use
only" and not for storage of hauling vehicles, in violation of Section I8-5 Azusa Municipal
Code. He stated that Mr. Patterson's appeal states there is no unlicensed business being
operated by this owner, and that the company Is building a new facility in San Dimas. He
asked for an extension until the end of October 2008 and all trucks will be removed and
office completely closed by that date. He recommended that the appeal be denied and the
order of abatement be adopted. He responded to questions posed by Councilmembers
regarding the process of abatement. Discussion was held regarding options on amortization,
enforcement power and options for the appellant.

REQUEST FOR (1) A LETTER OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY REGARDING THE
SALE OF BEER AT AN EXISTING RESTAURANT, CHICA'S PLACE, LOCATED AT 251 S.
IRWINDALE AVENUE, AZUSA. CASE NO: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2001-06.
BUSINESS OWNER: MARIA SEGURA; AND (2) TO DELEGATE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO THE
REVIEW AUTHORITY, TO DETERMINE IN THE FUTURE, IF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR
NECESSITY WILL BE SERVED BY THE ISSUANCE OF A LIQUOR LICENSE FROM THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL (ABC) NOTWITHSTANDING A
DETERMINATION BY THE ABC THAT THERE IS AN UNDUE CONCENTRATION OF LICENSES
IN THE CITY OF AZUSA.
Senior Planner Cole addressed the issue stating that on August 29'" 2001, the property
owner obtained a CUP to sell beer at noted property and the Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) issued a type 40 license which is still valid. At that time the license was Issued they
did not consider the census tract in which the property is located to have undue
concentration of licenses. ABC is requiring the applicant, Maria Segura, to obtain a letter of
public convenience or necessity from the City that would mitigate the issue of over
concentration in the tract. She stated that the applicant is required to show that the public
convenience or necessity is served by the issuance of a beer license In this location; she has
submitted a request for the letter and provided a statement that the issuance of a letter
would provide convenience for her customers to offer beer along with meals. The Police
Department has noted that the crime rate is low in that section of the City. She
recommended that the letter of public convenience or necessity be issued by City Council.
On a related matter, she stated that the Development Code allows the Review Authority,
(the Zoning Administrator or the Planning Commission) to approve or deny a Minor Use
Permit or Use Permit for alcohol use, with right of appeal to the City Council. It does not
explicitly allow the Review Authority to satisfy the "public convenience or necessity"
requirement of the Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4.a3.b. This can only be
determined by the City Council. In March 1995, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control notified the City that the City Council may delegate the duties of determining
whether or not public convenience or necessity are met to a subordinate agency such as a
zoning, planning or law enforcement official if desired. Staff recommended Council
designate the Review Authority, to Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission, to satisfy
public convenience or necessity requirement of the Business and Professions Code. Lengthy
discussion was held regarding the issue, hours of operation, the business to remain as a
restaurant, and proposal that the review authority be the planning commission. City
Attorney Carvalho advised if there was a concern about the expansion business hours they
could have amendment to the cup stating operating hours are Monday — Saturday from 6-4
p.m. and that if sold, and new owners wish to expand operating hours an amendment to
CUP would be warranted.
Moved by Councilmember Gonzales, seconded by Councilmember Macias and unanimously
carried to approve the request for a letter of Public Convenience or Necessity. Aker further
discussion it was moved by Councilmember Macias, seconded by Councilmember Gonzales
and unanimously carried to delegate the responsibility to the Review Authority to the
Planning Commission, to determine in the future, if public convenience or necessity will be
served by the issuance of a liquor license from the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) notwithstanding a determination by the ABC that there Is an undue
concentration of licenses in the City of Azusa.

SUBJECT: AZUSA READS and AZUSA CALCULATES, OFF -CAMPUS FEDERAL WORK-
STUDY PROGRAM AGREEMENTS WITH AZUSA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve two Off -Campus Federal Work -Study
Program Agreements; one for Azusa Reads and another for Azusa Calculates and
authorize the City Manager to sign the attached agreements between Azusa Pacific
University (APU) and the City of Azusa.
BACKGROUND
Azusa Reads will be starting its seventh year of collaboration and operation with APU,
the Azusa Unified School District (AVSD) and the Azusa City Library. The mission of
the Azusa Reads program is to equip and encourage the elementary school children of
Azusa in developing literacy skills through a free after-school tutoring program. Azusa
Calculates, a program for math tutoring was started in early 2007 and modeled
against the successful Azusa Reads program. Initial funding for Azusa Calculates was
made possible through a grant from the Canyon City Foundation. The goal of Azusa
Calculates is to help AVSD middle school students with algebra.
Effective July 1, 2000, new Federal Work Study (FWS) requirements stated that higher
education institutions would be required to use at least 7% of their total FWS
allocation to employ students in community services jobs. Additionally, these
institutions must employ one FWS student as a reading tutor for preschool,
elementary school or a family literacy project. As a result, the Office of Community
Service Learning and Student Erimployment Services have again contacted the Azusa
City Library for continuance of these important programs at the Azusa City Library.
The Azusa City Library and the Azusa community derive benefit from this program by
increasing library usage, developing better readers, and students who understand
basic math.
Description of the Azusa Reads and Azusa Calculates Programs
Azusa Reads and Azusa Calculates programs operate from the Azusa City Library. The
City Library as host provides a natural learning environment for the students. These
programs provide 10-19 after-school tutors at the Azusa City Library to assist
preschool and elementary students in reading and math. The programs are
coordinated through the APU Office of Community Service Learning. An assigned
coordinator works with City Library staff, and paid tutors to facilitate the
implementation of this program. All recruitments, training, placements and
supervision of the tutors are the responsibilities of the APU coordinators. City Library
staff provides some training, especially local logistics and a basic orientation and
welcome for the program's tutors. Additionally, City Library staff members
participate in the year-end assessment and celebration to, evaluate and recognize
student and tutor achievement.
This year the Azusa Reads and Azusa Calculates programs begin @ the Library on
September 10, 2006 and both programs will end sometime in April 2008. The
program will operate from Monday through Thursday after school. Azusa Reads
tutors are identifiable through red tee shirts and Azusa Calculates tutors wear black
tee shirts.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the City Library's budget. All funds to support this
program are provided by APU through the Federal Work -Study Program. The City
Library and city residents receive intangible benefits as a result of tutoring Azusa's
youth.

PRELIMINARY REPORT, DRAFT REDEVELOPMENT PLAN, EXTENSION OF THE
OWNER PARTICIPATION RULES AND EXTENSION OF THE RELOCATION

AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE MERGED CENTRAL

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Agency Board adopt resolutions (1) approving the Preliminary
Report; (2) receiving the Draft Plan Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan; (3) extending the
Rules Governing Participation by Property Owners and the Extension of Reasonable Preference
to Business Occupants in the Added Area; and (4) extending Rules and Regulations for
Implementation of the California Relocation Assistance Law and Real Property Acquisition
Guidelines.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is the first of multiple steps needed to expand the City's Redevelopment Project area.
The expansion includes parts of Downtown and commercial properties located at the
intersection of the 1-210 freeway and Azusa Avenue.
Although the City continues to follow the policy of not using eminent domain on residential
properties, the documents herein have been updated to include language mandated by
State law which would only allow voluntary sales of residential units.
The ultimate adoption of the Redevelopment Plan Amendment will result in the ability of the
Redevelopment Agency to capture additional property tax increment revenues that would
otherwise have been captured by other taxing entities.

BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa ("Agency") is charged with the responsibility
for promoting the continued revitalization of the Merged Central Business District and West End
Redevelopment Project Area ("Merged Project Area"). Since the inception of the Project Area,
the Agency has implemented redevelopment activities to encourage reinvestment within the
Project Area; however, despite its best efforts, some blighting conditions remain in the Project
Area.
The Agency has undertaken proceedings for amending the Redevelopment Plan for the Merged
Project Area ("Amendment"). The Amendment will add 15.1 acres of territory to the Merged
Project Area ("Added Area") and increase the tax increment cap in the Merged Project Area
from $114 million to $300 million in order to fund future redevelopment activities.
The City Council of the City of Azusa ("City Council") adopted the Central Business District and
the West End Redevelopment Projects ("Redevelopment Projects") in 1978 and 1983,
respectively, pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety
Code Section 33000, et seq., ("Law"). The redevelopment plans for the Central Business
District Redevelopment Project and the West End Redevelopment Project have been amended
on numerous occasions to meet the requirements of the Law, extend time and financial limits in
the Redevelopment Plans, add territory to the Central Business District and the West End
Redevelopment Projects ("Original Projects" or "Original Project Areas"), merge the
Redevelopment Plans for the Original Projects, and meet the requirements of the Law as
amended through legislation.
The Agency is being asked to approve the Preliminary Report, receive the draft Amendment to
the Redevelopment Plan, and authorize transmittal of these documents to affected taxing
entities. The Agency has previously approved the Rules Governing Participation by Property
Owners and the Extension of Reasonable Preference to Business Occupants, and the Rules and
Regulations for Implementation of the California Relocation Assistance Law and Real Property
Acquisition Guidelines. This action will extend their applicability to the Added Area.
Preliminary Report
The purpose of the Preliminary Report is to provide information to affected taxing agencies, the
public and other interested parties pertaining to the Redevelopment Plan Amendment. The
Preliminary Report provides an opportunity to review the reasons for the proposed Amendment
prior to the joint public hearing of the City Council and Agency. The Preliminary Report and the
amended Redevelopment Plari will be transmitted to each affected taxing agency.
The Law requires that the Preliminary Report contain the following sections: (1) the reasons for

the amendment; (2) a description of the blighting conditions which exist in the Project Area; (3)
a section which addresses urbanization requirements pursuant to Section 33320.1; (4) a
preliminary assessment of the proposed method of financing the redevelopment of the Project
Area, including an assessment of the economic feasibility of the project and the reasons for the
provision of tax increment; and (5) a description of how the Redevelopment Plan and the
proposed projects to be pursued by the Agency will improve or alleviate blighting conditions in
the Added Area.
The Preliminary Report generally provides a description of physical and economic conditions in
the Merged Project Area,. the financial feasibility of increasing the tax increment cap for the
Merged Project Area and how the proposed redevelopment program will improve. conditions in
the Added Area. The Preliminary Report identifies the blighting conditions that exist in the
Added Area and the Original Projects, and presents programs that can be implemented to
alleviate these conditions.
Plan Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan
The Plan Amendment is essentially a legal document (rather than a "plan") that sets forth the
Agency's goals, powers, duties, and obligations to implement a redevelopment program, which
is focused on eliminating blight from the Project Area. The Plan Amendment presents a process
and framework within which specific development plans will be presented, priorities for projects
will be established, and solutions will be proposed, and by which tools are provided to,the
Agency to fashion, develop, and proceed with such plans, projects and solutions. This Plan
Amendment document will supersede the original Redevelopment Plan, as well as all previously
adopted amendments to the Plan.
Generally, the Plan Amendment provides guidelines that allow the Agency to: (1) construct
public facility and infrastructure improvements; (2) collect tax increment revenue to fund public
improvements and other Agency activities; (3) fund property rehabilitation programs and new
development programs; (4) provide for affordable housing opportunities in conjunction with the
City's Housing Element; and (5) issue bonds to fund, in whole or in part, public improvements,
rehabilitation programs, and other Agency activities. This Plan Amendment makes the following
changes to the Existing Redevelopment Plan:
• Increases the'tax increment cap for property tax increment that can be received
during the life of the Plan to $300 million; and
• Adds approximately 15.1 acres of commercial property to the Central Business
District Project Area.

Subject: Resolutions to Consider Receipt and/or Approval of the Preliminary Report, Draft Redevelopment Plan,
Extension of the Owner Participation Rules and Extension of the Relocation Assistance Law and Real Property
Acquisition Guidelines for the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Central Business District
and West End Redevelopment Project
September 17, 2007
Page 4 of 5
West End Redevelopment Project is based on the Preliminary Plan, which was previously
approved by the Planning Commission and the Agency. The Preliminary Plan provides a
framework of goals, powers, duties, and obligations to implement the redevelopment program.
Extending the Existing Rules Governing, Participation by Property Owners and the Extension of
Reasonable Preference to Business Occupants to the Plan Amendment
The Rules Governing Participation by Property Owners and the Extension of Reasonable
Preference to Business Occupants (Owner Participation Rules) were previously approved by the
Agency through the adoption of the Original Projects. The Agency is *being asked to extend
application of those rules to this Plan Amendment, as required by the Law. The Law states that
within a reasonable time before the approval of an amended redevelopment plan, the Agency
shall make available for public inspection, rules to implement owner participation in connection
with the Redevelopment Plan. The Law also requires that the Agency adopt rules to extend
reasonable preferences to persons engaged in business in the Project Area to reenter within the
Merged Project Area, and these rules are also to be made available for public inspection prior to
their adoption. Although not required by the Law, it is reasonable to include the business
preferences rules in the same set of rules addressing owner participation.
The Owner Participation Rules provide guidelines for the participation of property owners,
operators of business and business tenants in the Project Area. More specifically, in the event
the Agency, a property owner, business operator or business tenant wishes to rehabilitate,
redevelop or develop a property in the Project Area the Owner Participation Rules outline the
procedures to be followed to ensure that both the rights of the participant in the redevelopment
process are preserved, and the goals stated in the amended Redevelopment Plan are achieved.
Extending the Existing Rules and Regulations for Implementation of the California Relocation
Assistance Law and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines to the Plan Amendment
Section 33411 of the Law requires that the Agency prepare a feasible method or plan for the
relocation of families, persons, and non profit local community institutions to be temporarily or
permanently displaced from facilities in the Project Area. The Agency adopted these Rules and
Regulations for Implementation of the California Relocation Assistance Law and Real Property
Acquisition Guidelines ("Rules and Regulations") in the Original Projects. Therefore, in
accordance with the Law the Agency must now extend these Rules and Regulations to the
Added Area to allow for and adopt a feasible method or plan of relocation for the Plan
Amendment. Once the Rules and Regulations are extended to the Added Area they will be
available for public review.

Report, Plan Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan, Existing Rules Governing Participation by

September 17, 2007
Page 5 of 5
Property Owners and the Extension of Reasonable Preference to Business Occupants, and Rules
and Regulations for Implementation of the California Relocation Assistance Law and Real
Property Acquisition Guidelines will be included as part of the Agency's Report to City Council (a
document which will be presented at the joint public hearing for the proposed Plan
Amendment) at a future meeting for final approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommended action has no fiscal impact. However, by proceeding with the Plan
Amendment to increase the tax increment cap and add territory to the Merged Project Area, the
Agency will be able to continue collecting tax increment revenues it would not otherwise receive
and address blighting conditions in the Merged Project Area and Added Area.

AGENCY AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
BOARD
FROM: BRUCE A. COLEMAN, ECONOMIC/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: . F.M. DELACH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR j"
DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 2007
SUBJECT: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR MAXAND MARTHA ARTEAGAS'NEW RESTAURANT
LOCATION, 635 NORTH AZUSA AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Redevelopment Agency approve (1).a $179,000 loan agreement (2) a secured
promissory note (3) a security agreement, and (4) a leasehold deed of trust with assignment of rents and fixture
filings between Mr. & Mrs. Arteaga and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa in connection with the
establishment of their new restaurant ("Los Magueyes"), which is to be located at 635 North Azusa Avenue. A
stable and successful business such as Los Magueyes will help bring additional vitality and commerce to the
downtown, in addition to providing the City with additional tax revenue.
BACKGROUND
Mr. &Mrs. Arteagas have operated Los Magueyes successfully at their present Azusa location for over five years,
and are now moving to a larger more convenient locale in downtown Azusa. They have demonstrated their ability
to run a thriving family restaurant that contributes positively to the,Azusa community. In addition, The Arteagas
will pay for 63% of the total project costs from their own resources, thus making them significantly vested in this
new venture. The move to downtown Azusa will allow them to increase the number of clients they are able to
serve and provide more convenient parking spaces for their clientele, while improving the quality and selection of
restaurants available.
In the past, the Agency has granted a loan for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) in the amount of
$150,000 for a restaurant in downtown Azusa. The FFB.E loan allowed the business owner to create a quality sit-
down restaurant, and a similar loan to Los Magueyes will further strengthen downtown Azusa commerce.
Terms of the Lease
Mr. & Mrs. Arteaga negotiated a five year lease, at a monthly rate of $3,500, with Esquivel Management. The
Arteagas will have the option to extend their lease for five additional years in 2012 and 2017. The landlord has
agreed to credit the Arteagas $1,000 for tenant improvements.
Terms of the Loan
The loan proceeds will be used to purchase the furniture, fixtures and equipment required to run a successful sit-
down family restaurant. The loan shall be secured by a first deed of trust on the leasehold and by a grant of
security interest in the furnishings, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) purchased by the borrower. At the conclusion
of the fifth year of operation, the loan will be forgiven. Loan proceeds will be prepared as two-party checks
payable to the borrower and its vendors.
Analysis of Proposal
The applicant provided all relevant information to Tierra West Advisors, a consultant on retainer by the Agency, to
ensure the loan is financially feasible and prudent. Based on their analysis, Tierra West Advisors recommends
that Mr. &Mrs. Arteaga receive the $179,000 FF&E loan.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the recommended loan were budgeted in the 2007 fiscal budget.
