EXECUTIVE   (HARBISON & THILTGEN)

  1. Approval of FHA Loan for Madison Towers.

The Agency has applied for a FHA-insured Section 223(f) loan to be taken against the Net Operating Income of Madison Towers.  With the interest now rate-locked at 3.44%, the net loan proceeds of $6,757,300 will be used to provide the cash equity for projects being undertaken as part of the Envision Cayce initiative.  The FHA loan program requires that the property owner/loan borrower be a single asset entity; for that purpose, we have incorporated the MDHA Madison Towers, LLC.  It is requested that the Board authorize the transfer of the ownership and the PBRA HAP contract of Madison Towers to the LLC and authorize the Executive Director to execute the financing documents on behalf of both MDHA and the MDHA Madison Towers, LLC.

EXECUTIVE   (HARBISON & CHOPPIN)

  1. Approval of Bifurcation of Cayce Housing Assistance Payments Contracts – Kirkpatrick Park, Boscobel I, and Boscobel II.

As coordinated with HUD, MDHA will need to enter into one or more agreements with HUD to split the Cayce Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract and transfer PBRA assistance from Cayce to Kirkpatrick Park (36 units), Boscobel I (50 units), and Boscobel II (45 units). The result of such split is four HAP contracts-one for Cayce and one for each of the new properties-all of which adopt the existing terms of the original Cayce HAP Contract, except for an amendment to the subsection on Owner’s Warranties.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT   (HARBISON & CAIN)

  1. Approval of Amendments to Capitol Mall and Phillips Jackson Loan Agreements.

MDHA and lender Regions Bank identified approximately $7.5 million in funds in debt service accounts for Capitol Mall and Phillips-Jackson Loan Agreements that were in excess of the required debt service for 2019 (“excess cash flow”). Per the terms of the loan agreements, these funds would be used to pay down additional principal on July 1. The attached resolution and loan amendments would allow the excess cash flow to be transferred to MDHA, which would then fund a transfer of the excess cash flow to the Metropolitan Government.
