GFELLER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS ( "C" Street Plaza and parking Structure ) The City Manager presented the staff report and recommendation. As recommended in the report dated February 10, 1982, prepared by the City Manager, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Sharp, to authorize: l) The Mayor to execute the final form of the agreements between the City and Gfeller Development Co. for ~the parking structure and mall and plaza; 2) A loan from the General Fund to the Redevelopment Agency in the amount of $350,000, to be repaid in three years at 12% interest (or whatever higher rate is authorized by State law and subsequently approved by the City Council), said loan to supplement Agency funds allocated for the parking structure; and 3) The Redevelopment Agency to allocate an additional $83,743 from the Agency unrestricted fund balance to supplement the $250,000 currently budgeted for the parking structure and the $350,000 loan. Councilman Edgar noted that although additional funds of $83,743 will be appropriated, the funds in the bank are now drawing interest and acknowledged that perhaps $45,000 to $50,000 could be earned by those funds during the period the City waits to pay off the loan. In response to the Mayor, the Community Development Director stated that it will be less costly to install fire sprinklers than to redesign the subterranean level of the parking struc- ture. He also responded that the City would not need openings on the east side of the parking structure. The ground level is solely for utilization by the Stevens Square facility and the upper deck is for use by the public. To obtain access from the upper deck would be a matter of working with the adjacent prop- erty owner to provide a stairway down to the level. The motion carried 3-0, Hoesterey and Saltarelli absent. 81 In response to Councilman Edgar, the Director of Public Works reported that the two power poles on "C" Street will be removed and utilities installed underground; two new street lights will be installed between "B" and "C"Streets; and the old street light will be removed.
