LDCMT -26-2909
1. Adoption <strong>of</strong> the Minutes <strong>of</strong> the January 8, 2013 <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> <strong>Meeting</strong><br />
As the first order <strong>of</strong> business, Mr. Pinsky asked if there were any comments or questions<br />
relating to the minutes <strong>of</strong> the January 8, 2013 <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> meeting. There being no<br />
questions or comments, a motion to approve such minutes was made, seconded, and adopted<br />
unanimously.<br />
2. Financial Statements for December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Unaudited)<br />
Brian Halber, Director <strong>of</strong> Financial Reporting for NYCEDC, presented the Agency's<br />
Financial Statements for December 31, 2012 and 2011 (Unaudited) evidencing that the Agency<br />
recognized total project finance fees from 11 transactions totaling approximately $1.6 million in<br />
addition to $100,000 from Liberty Bond project finance fees and $200,000 in Ext ell GT LLC<br />
project finance fees. Mr. Halber stated that in regard to other income derived from<br />
compliance, post-closing and other fees, the Agency recognized approximately $658,000. Mr.<br />
Halber stated that in regard to expenses the Agency made an initial payment to the NYCEDC in<br />
the amount <strong>of</strong> $800,000 for the creation and administration <strong>of</strong> the Hurricane Emergency Loan<br />
Program. Mr. Halber stated in regard to expenditures that no major operating expenses<br />
occurred.<br />
Mr. Morris stated that with respect to note 6 and the special projects, he commended<br />
Agency staff for presenting very detailed and very informative status reports on the special<br />
projects and funded studies in the <strong>Board</strong> materials. Mr. Morris stated that the special projects<br />
run a broad gamut and some <strong>of</strong> them were broadly characterized, such as waterfront studies.<br />
Mr. Morris recommended that the <strong>Board</strong> discuss how the Agency could conduct its studies<br />
while coordinating with other City agencies so that the Agency could capitalize on other<br />
people's work, which could reduce costs and help others in the work that the Agency had<br />
undertaken, and vice versa. Mr. Pinsky stated that Agency staff make a significant attempt to<br />
coordinate with other City agencies. Mr. Pinsky stated that if Mr. Morris was aware <strong>of</strong><br />
examples <strong>of</strong> studies where there was a duplication <strong>of</strong> efforts across City agencies that he should<br />
bring them to the attention <strong>of</strong> Agency staff. Mr. Pinsky stated that Agency staff would be<br />
happy to have discussions regarding this issue in the future.<br />
3. Appointment <strong>of</strong> Officers<br />
Jeffrey Lee, a Vice President <strong>of</strong> NYCEDC and Executive Director <strong>of</strong> the Agency, presented<br />
for approval the appointment <strong>of</strong> Tabitha Gil lim and Howard Spieler as Assistant Secretaries to<br />
the Agency. There being no comments or questions, a motion to approve such appointments<br />
was made, second, and approved unanimously.<br />
LDCMT-26·2909
4. Rock Beach Food Corp.<br />
Molly Hartman, a Project Manager for NYCEDC, presented for review and adoption Rock<br />
Beach Food Corp. ("Rock Beach"), a straight-lease (Industrial Incentive Program) inducement<br />
resolution and an associated deviation from the Agency's Uniform Tax Exemption Policy<br />
("UTEP") policy. Ms. Hartman stated that there was a correction to be made in the <strong>Board</strong><br />
materials which was that the project was noticed at the public hearing held on February 7 1 h,<br />
2013. Ms. Hartman described the project and its benefits, stating that staff had reviewed the<br />
Environmental Assessment Form ("EAF") and recommended the adoption <strong>of</strong> a SEQRA<br />
determination that there are no significant effects upon the environment.<br />
In response to a question from Mr. Morris, Ms. Hartman stated that the benefits<br />
provided by the sales tax exemption program were also provided within the Food Retail<br />
Expansion to Support Health ("FRESH") program so both would not be available to Rock Beach.<br />
Ms. Hartman stated that Rock Beach was eligible for the Hurricane Emergency Loan Program<br />
("HELP") program but did not believe they were pursuing that as a source <strong>of</strong> financing. In<br />
response to a question from Mr. Morris, Ms. Hartman stated that if Rock Beach pursued<br />
assistance from the HELP program it wouldn't impact their deal structure but that they were<br />
still finalizing their financing. In response to a question from Mr. Morris, Ms. Hartman stated<br />
that the FRESH program requirements were related to the interior selling space and the interior<br />
layout <strong>of</strong> the store did qualify for the FRESH program and had been approved by the City's<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> City Planning. Ms. Hartman stated that Rock Beach <strong>of</strong>fered more than 50% <strong>of</strong><br />
the interior selling space for groceries with over 2,000 square feet <strong>of</strong> produce. Mr. Dinerstein<br />
stated that as a point <strong>of</strong> clarification one <strong>of</strong> the requirements for the FRESH program was that<br />
the store had to be at least 6,000 square feet and that the benefits accrued only for the<br />
supermarket operation and not to any other ancillary retail operation that would be in the<br />
building. In response to a question from Mr. Morris, Mr. Dinerstein stated that if there was a<br />
very large building with a supermarket, it could occupy less than 50% <strong>of</strong> the shopping center<br />
because if the typical shopping center was 50,000 square feet with a 20,000 square foot<br />
supermarket but the building has 30,000 square feet <strong>of</strong> ancillary retail the supermarket would<br />
qualify, and the idea was to provide the benefits only to the supermarket.<br />
In response to a question from Mr. Mirones, Ms. Hartman stated that Rock Beach was<br />
hoping to staff up to previous levels, which totaled five and a half full-time equivalent<br />
employees. Mr. Pinsky stated that there were a number <strong>of</strong> part-time employees that add up to<br />
the equivalent <strong>of</strong> five and a half full-time employees, which is not atypical for this kind <strong>of</strong><br />
operation. In response to a question from Mr. Mirones, Ms. Hartman stated that there were<br />
additional part-time employees at the store that work just a few hours a week, at busier times<br />
<strong>of</strong> the day, as well as on the weekends. Mr. Morris stated that the project was a tough one<br />
because the Comptroller's Office wanted to support any business that was affected by<br />
Hurricane Sandy and actively looked for ways to do that. Mr. Morris stated that it was difficult<br />
to support the project due to the high cost-per-job which was among the higher costs that the<br />
<strong>Board</strong> had seen which would yield 5.5 paying jobs at the end <strong>of</strong> 3 years, paying approximately<br />
$8 per hour. Mr. Morris stated that that was a lot <strong>of</strong> money to be spent on the creation <strong>of</strong><br />
LDCMT·26·2909
entry level jobs at ordinarily modest wages.<br />
In response to a question from Mr. Morris, Mr. Pinsky stated that the purpose <strong>of</strong> the<br />
FRESH program was not simply to create employment but also to ensure vital service to<br />
communities that were lacking that service. Mr. Pinsky stated this was especially true for a<br />
community like the Rockaways which lacked these services before Hurricane Sandy but now has<br />
even fewer services available. Mr. Pinsky stated that he would like to point out that the dollar<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> the benefits was primarily coming from a property tax abatement that was paid out<br />
over 25 years, which was not to say that the aggregate number wasn't important, but on an<br />
annual basis the number that the <strong>Board</strong> was talking about was relatively modest. Mr. Pinsky<br />
stated that the <strong>Board</strong> materials were showing the benefits per job because that was the<br />
Agency's standard template but that the benefits per job doesn't tell the whole story <strong>of</strong> why<br />
the Agency was <strong>of</strong>fering the benefits to Rock Beach. Mr. Pinsky stated that the Agency was<br />
looking to ensure that a service, which was vital to this community, be returned as quickly as<br />
possible. Mr. Pinsky stated that the Agency was looking to help the people <strong>of</strong> the area both to<br />
find economic opportunity, which was the job creation aspect, and also to ensure that the<br />
community was able to get their very basic needs met such as the availability <strong>of</strong> food. Mr. Lee<br />
stated that not only was it important for Rock Beach to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> providing food to the<br />
surrounding community but also that the food-related retail be compliant with the FRESH<br />
program, meaning that there was a minimum square footage dedicated to fresh produce and<br />
groceries. In response to a question from Mr. Morris, Mr. Lee stated that Agency staff had<br />
been talking with groups like Rockaway Development and Revitalizaton Corporation and local<br />
elected <strong>of</strong>ficials such as Council Member Eric Ulrich and Queens Borough President Helen<br />
Marshall who have been strongly supportive <strong>of</strong> this project and have the best understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
the local situation. In response to a question from Mr. Ferrari, Mr. Morris stated that the<br />
Comptroller's Office conducted its own investigation within the local community and that their<br />
findings <strong>of</strong> that survey were not in the same vein as the Agency's findings. In response to a<br />
question from Mr. Ferrari, Mr. Pinsky stated that the local elected <strong>of</strong>ficials had expressed strong<br />
support for the Agency using the FRESH benefits to get Rock Beach reopened. In response to a<br />
question from Mr. Ferrari, Mr. Pinsky stated that the local population was those elected<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficial's constituency.<br />
There being no further comments or questions, a motion to approve the inducement<br />
resolution on behalf <strong>of</strong> Rock Beach, was made, seconded and adopted with Mr. Morris voting in<br />
opposition.<br />
5. Service Contract for the Comprehensive Citywide Ferry Study<br />
Hannah Henn, a project manager for NYCEDC, presented for review and approval a<br />
proposal for a service contract with NYCEDC in order for NYCEDC to subcontract with<br />
consultants to perform the 2013 Citywide Ferry Study and an environmental assessment <strong>of</strong><br />
existing potential ferry locations. Ms. Henn described the program and its benefits.<br />
LDCMT-26-2909
There being no further comments or questions, a motion to approve the<br />
aforementioned service contract was made, seconded and unanimously adopted.<br />
6. Service Contract for the Mitigation and Restoration Strategies for Habitat and<br />
Ecological Sustain ability<br />
Andrew Genn, a Senior Vice President for NYCEDC, presented for review and approval a<br />
proposal for a service contract with NYCEDC in order for NYCEDC to explore policies and<br />
strategies that foster sustainable waterfront development while also enhancing and protecting<br />
the City's coastal resources through implementing the Mitigation and Restoration Strategies for<br />
Habitat and Ecological Sustainability Initiative ("MARSHES"). Mr. Genn described the program<br />
and its benefits.<br />
In response to a question from Mr. Haber, Mr. Genn stated that the scope <strong>of</strong> the study<br />
was citywide but the study's initial focus had been around the Jamaica Bay, Newtown Creek<br />
and Flushing Bay areas. In response to a question from Mr. Haber, Mr. Genn stated that ifthe<br />
pilot program was effective, then the entire city would benefit from it. Mr. Morris stated that<br />
there was overlap <strong>of</strong> several agencies performing similar studies such as those conducted by<br />
the City's Office <strong>of</strong> Long-Term Planning and Sustainability, the City's Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Environmental Protection and the City's Department <strong>of</strong> Parks and Recreation. Mr. Morris<br />
recommended that there should be a master plan and a pipeline for these studies so as to avoid<br />
duplicating work across City agencies. Mr. Pinsky stated that the study being presented to the<br />
<strong>Board</strong> examined a different concept than those Mr. Morris was referring to. Mr. Genn stated<br />
that the study focused on the creation <strong>of</strong> a banking system for the City and was being<br />
conducted in conjunction with the City's Office <strong>of</strong> Long-Term Planning and Sustainability, the<br />
City's Department <strong>of</strong> Environmental Protection and the City's Department <strong>of</strong> Parks and<br />
Recreation. Mr. Genn stated that Agency staff were coordinating with the Mayor's Office and<br />
the aforementioned agencies to make sure the study was successful. In response to a question<br />
from Mr. Rodriquez, Mr. Genn stated that the City was divided into different watershed areas,<br />
so there would be banks representative <strong>of</strong> each watershed area and that there would be a<br />
banker who would conduct a restoration project. Mr. Genn stated that in order for<br />
development to be conducted within a certain area <strong>of</strong> the City a developer would go to the<br />
appropriate bank and purchase the necessary credits. In response to a question from Mr.<br />
Rodriguez, Mr. Genn stated that this type <strong>of</strong> system incorporated federal and state law which<br />
requires developers to avoid, minimize and then mitigate an affected area. Mr. Genn stated<br />
that when a project was conducted on waterfront property one must first demonstrate that<br />
one can completely avoid any negative impact and come up with an alternative. Mr. Genn<br />
stated that implementing this new system did not change the usual course <strong>of</strong> events when<br />
mitigating an affected area. Mr. Genn stated that at the end <strong>of</strong> the process <strong>of</strong> analyzing<br />
impacts, only the smallest amount <strong>of</strong> impact is left and that what typically happens was a<br />
private developer, or an agency like New York City Economic Development Corporation, must<br />
find a site, usually a small site somewhere else in the City, which Agency staff found takes a<br />
long time. Mr. Genn stated that since the mitigation would be conducted anyway, identifying<br />
large, contiguous wetlands and putting resources into those wetlands upfront would allow<br />
LDCMT·26-2909
more restoration to happen sooner. Mr. Pinsky stated that as Agency staff look for ways to<br />
protect the City against the impacts <strong>of</strong> climate change one such area was significant wetlands<br />
restoration, which could be expensive and that this was a viable strategy to finance it. Mr.<br />
Pinsky stated that this program was supported by Governor Cuomo in his post-Hurricane Sandy<br />
report. Mr. Pinsky stated that Mr. Morris' concerns were valid and that Agency staff would<br />
make sure the program would not create other problems on top <strong>of</strong> the problem Agency staff<br />
was trying to solve. In response to a question from Mr. Haber, Mr. Genn stated that the<br />
Kosciusko Bridge project was a specific area, which would probably have specific mitigation<br />
needs. Mr. Genn stated that Agency staff was well informed about those types <strong>of</strong> projects and<br />
that implementing this banking system and being able to demonstrate a new way <strong>of</strong> looking at<br />
how to <strong>of</strong>fset these impacts would benefit the entire City.<br />
There being no further comments or questions, a motion to approve the<br />
aforementioned service contract was made, seconded and unanimously adopted.<br />
7. Service Contract for the Oil and Gas Supply Chain Study<br />
Miquela Craytor, a Vice President for NYCEDC, presented for review and approval a<br />
proposal for a service contract with NYCEDC in order for NYCEDC to seek to enhance its<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> the distribution <strong>of</strong> oil/gas as well as its distribution, storage, processing and<br />
shipping in and out <strong>of</strong> the City through a subcontractor who would develop a geographic<br />
database <strong>of</strong> oil/gas distribution, storage, processing and shipping in and around the City (the<br />
"Oil/Gas Supply Chain Study"). Ms. Craytor described the program and its benefits.<br />
In response to a question from Mr. Rodriguez, Ms. Craytor stated that the study would<br />
focus on gas and heating oil in all forms. In response to a question from Mr. Rodriguez, Mr.<br />
Pinsky stated that there were some natural gas dislocations after Hurricane Sandy and that<br />
around 80,000 customers lost gas service, which was not due to the pipelines since they<br />
survived largely intact but instead due to the loss <strong>of</strong> electricity at transfer stations. In response<br />
to a question from Mr. Rodriguez, Ms. Craytor stated that the study would focus on all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fuel and oil that goes in and out <strong>of</strong> the City from a residential and business perspective. Ms.<br />
Craytor stated that one <strong>of</strong> the things Agency staff found was that certain agencies use their<br />
backup generators that require fuel and that when they couldn't get that fuel, even larger<br />
logjams resulted. Mr. Ferreri stated that in Staten Island he was responsible for two hospitals,<br />
which found themselves in a desperate situation where they could not have access to gasoline.<br />
Mr. Ferreri stated that one <strong>of</strong> the hospitals was running for five days <strong>of</strong>f a generator, which<br />
became a critical issue. Mr. Ferreri stated that gasoline was shipped into the Staten Island<br />
Armory and that there violence broke out among people trying to buy gasoline at gas stations.<br />
Mr. Ferreri stated that gasoline was shipped from Fort Dix to the hospital where they<br />
distributed gasoline to all healthcare workers in the community, which was not the best way to<br />
deal with the crisis. Mr. Ferreri stated that he supported the program.<br />
In response to a question from Mr. Morris, Ms. Craytor stated that she coordinated with<br />
the Mayor's Office <strong>of</strong> Emergency Management's staff as well as other agencies that were<br />
LDCMT-26-2909
involved in the Hurricane Sandy relief effort. Ms. Craytor stated that one interesting finding<br />
was that this was an area that the City didn't typically regulate, in the same way that utilities<br />
were regulated, so Agency staff found that no one had a good sense <strong>of</strong> who all the players were<br />
and that information wasn't being received in real time in a way that was useful to respond to<br />
the emergency as efficiently as it could have been. Ms. Craytor stated that she coordinated<br />
with those City agencies and learned in the process <strong>of</strong> proposing or contemplating this study<br />
that they were not looking at how to store contact information and make it usable at different<br />
levels so that it was not locked into just one agency. Ms. Craytor stated that one <strong>of</strong> the big<br />
issues was that sometimes agencies had information which other agencies that did not, so this<br />
was why this particular product would be uniquely useful in function. In response to a question<br />
from Mr. Morris, Ms. Craytor stated that in terms <strong>of</strong> looking at this particular platform, what<br />
Agency staff learned from a potential vendor was that the supply chain system that he had was<br />
the only one in the market that functions in this more dynamic way, which made conducting<br />
this study even more attractive. Ms. Craytor stated that Agency staff had talked to staff at the<br />
City's Department <strong>of</strong> Information Technology and Telecommunications' Geographic<br />
Information Technologies and Services department (GIS Services), who were trying to<br />
understand how this was different from how other vendors function.<br />
There being no further comments or questions, a motion to approve the<br />
aforementioned service contract was made, seconded and unanimously adopted.<br />
8. Adjournment<br />
There being no further business to come before the meeting, pursuant to a motion<br />
made, seconded, and unanimously adopted the meeting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> was<br />
adjourned at 9:48a.m.<br />

Financing and Benefits Summary<br />
Financing for this Project is still being finalized, but is anticipated to consist <strong>of</strong> a combination <strong>of</strong> Company funds<br />
and commercial financing. The terms <strong>of</strong> this financing will be finalized before the Company seeks authorization,<br />
but based on conservative assumptions about the likely terms <strong>of</strong> financing, the Company demonstrates sufficient<br />
ability to service the debt.<br />
The benefits available to this Project are limited to sales and use tax exemption, mortgage recording tax deferral,<br />
and property and land tax abatement. The benefit term will be 25 years.<br />
Company Performance and Projections<br />
The Company forecasts generating gross pr<strong>of</strong>it <strong>of</strong> $2.6 million in the first year <strong>of</strong> operation, and approximately 5%<br />
growth per year for the next two years. Sales forecasts are based on market research considering demographics,<br />
income, and purchasing preferences in the store's market, and sales data from comparable stores.<br />

Because this is a startup, the number <strong>of</strong> jobs to be created at year three was used in the following calculations.<br />

149 Street Food Corp<br />
The location <strong>of</strong> the Project is the Hub in the South Bronx, at the intersection <strong>of</strong> 149'' St. and Third Avenue. The<br />
Hub is one <strong>of</strong> the retail hearts <strong>of</strong> the South Bronx, and sits at the convergence <strong>of</strong> the Melrose and Mott Haven<br />
neighborhoods, two areas <strong>of</strong> the Bronx with limited access to fresh, affordable food. The Project will be located<br />
within Triangle Plaza, a new retail development that will include other retail, nonpr<strong>of</strong>it <strong>of</strong>fice space, and parking.<br />
Triangle Equities closed on the purchase <strong>of</strong> the site from NYCEDC in December 2012 as a result <strong>of</strong> a competitive<br />
RFP to purchase and develop two parcels <strong>of</strong> land within the Bronxchester Urban Renewal plan. This development is<br />
expected to begin construction in the summer <strong>of</strong> 2013 and open by the middle <strong>of</strong> 2014. This new retail plaza,<br />
including the supermarket component, will bring much-needed retail amenities to an underserved neighborhood.<br />
The Project will face 149tn Street, a busy pedestrian street with significant foot traffic.<br />
The store would produce 52 full time equivalent jobs for local residents within three years that range in annual<br />
salary from $23,000-$62,000 for full time employees and $11,000-$18,000 for part time employees.<br />
Inducement<br />
The Company has represented that without discretionary incentives it cannot open and operate a supermarket in<br />
the project location to meet the grocery retail demand in this underserved neighborhood.<br />
I. City policy, as set forth by the Food Retail Expansion to Support Health (FRESH) program, aims to promote<br />
the establishment and retention <strong>of</strong> neighborhood grocery stores in underserved communities.<br />
II.<br />
Ill.<br />
The Company intends to lease the space at the project location, and has represented that without the<br />
benefits available through the FRESH program, the benefits <strong>of</strong> opening a retail supermarket at this<br />
location, such as creating new jobs for area residents and meeting unmet grocery retail demand, are<br />
unlikely to be realized.<br />
The Company has represented that without the benefits available through the FRESH program, the Project<br />
would not happen or would happen at a substantially reduced level.<br />
UTEP Considerations<br />
The Agency finds that the Project meets one or more considerations from Section 1-B <strong>of</strong> the Agencis Uniform Tax<br />
Exemption Policy ("UTEP"), including the following:<br />
I. Financial assistance is required to induce the Project.<br />
II. The Project is financially feasible.<br />
Ill. The Project involves the grocery industry in an area considered eligible for the FRESH program, which the<br />
Agency seeks to retain and foster.<br />
Deviation from UTEP<br />
A deviation is necessary because the Applicant is seeking Industrial Incentive Program benefits for a retail project.<br />
The Department <strong>of</strong> City Planning is expected to make a determination that the Applicant's proposed project meets<br />
the FRESH program criteria.<br />
The Food Retail Expansion to Support Health (FRESH) Program<br />
In partnership with the City Council, the City established the FRESH program to promote the establishment and<br />
retention <strong>of</strong> grocery stores in underserved communities. The FRESH program benefits grocery store operators<br />
seeking to renovate existing retail spaces and developers seeking to construct or renovate space that will be leased<br />
to full-line grocery store operators. In order to benefit from the FRESH program, a proposed grocery store must<br />
satisfy the following criteria:<br />
(a) Provide a minimum <strong>of</strong> six thousand square feet <strong>of</strong> retail space for a general line <strong>of</strong> food and nonfood<br />
grocery products intended for home preparation, consumption and utilization;<br />
(b) Provide at least fifty percent <strong>of</strong> retail space for a general line <strong>of</strong> food products intended for home<br />
preparation, consumption and utilization;<br />
(c) Provide at least thirty percent <strong>of</strong> retail space for perishable goods that may include dairy, fresh produce,<br />
fresh meats, poultry, fish and frozen foods; and<br />

149 Street Food Corp<br />
(d) Provide at least five hundred square feet <strong>of</strong> retail space for fresh produce.<br />

TO: <strong>Board</strong> Members at NYCEDC<br />
RE: Proposed Supermarket at 459 East 149 Street Bronx, NY<br />
We propose to build a 14,000 sq. ft. supermarket in The Hub area <strong>of</strong> the South Bronx which is<br />
currently lacking in produce and grocery store choices. This area has been designated by the<br />
USDA as a food desert. We feel this proposed location with a prominent produce dept. along<br />
with bakery, dairy, deli, grocery and frozen foods will be a major draw to a community that has<br />
been underserved in shopping choices for a long time. There are a large number <strong>of</strong> new<br />
residential buildings currently being occupied, and under construction in the area that make this<br />
location an attractive opportunity for success.<br />
There are currently three major supermarkets within a five mile area. They are Western Beef at<br />
143rd and Morris, Food Bazaar at 161st and Grand Concourse and BJ Wholesale on River<br />
Avenue and !59th none <strong>of</strong> which is walking distance to the existing customers in the hub.<br />
We expect initial build-out to be $1.25 million and additional inventory purchases to be<br />
$250,000. Projected sales are expected to be $325,000 per week with a pr<strong>of</strong>it margin <strong>of</strong> 30<br />
percent before expenses and taxes. A I 0 percent increase in sales year over year for the next<br />
three to five years.<br />
We are counting on the Fresh Program incentives run by NYCEDA that, if approved will help<br />
decide on us going forward with the build-out <strong>of</strong> supermarket. The R.E. tax benefits together<br />
with the sales tax savings on equipment purchases will make a big impact on our ability to run a<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>itable business. Moreover, the savings on construction costs will be the determining factor in<br />
us undertaking this endeavor.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Frank Pimentel

Because this operating company, the number <strong>of</strong> jobs at application was used in the following calculations.<br />

Eclectic/Encore Properties, Inc.<br />
Inducement<br />
I. The Company has represented that acquiring a new facility is crucial to its business plan and long term<br />
growth strategy;<br />
II.<br />
Ill.<br />
IV.<br />
The Company maintains that, through the Project, it will create approximately three {3) new full-time<br />
employees at the facility within the next three years;<br />
The Company has located several sites in New Jersey that would provide sufficient space at lower costs.<br />
Staff has concluded, based upon evidence and representations provided and made by the Company, that<br />
absent Agency assistance, the Company will be unable to withstand the extra carrying costs for the<br />
acquisition and renovation <strong>of</strong> the Project location. Therefore, the financial assistance that the Agency<br />
may provide is necessary to (i) induce the Company to locate their facility in New York City (ii) renovate<br />
and fit out this property located in the Long Island City, and (iii) hire employees in New York City.<br />
UTEP Considerations<br />
The Agency finds that the Project meets one or more considerations from Section 1-B <strong>of</strong> the Agency's Uniform Tax<br />
Exemption Policy ("UTEP"), including the following:<br />
I. The Project will create and retain permanent private-sector jobs.<br />
II.<br />
Ill.<br />
IV.<br />
Financial assistance is required to induce the Project.<br />
Value <strong>of</strong> Financial Assistance is reasonable relative to the total estimated impact to be provided through<br />
estimated City tax revenues.<br />
The Project will generate a significant amount <strong>of</strong> private-sector investment.<br />

Ms. Heidi Springer<br />
Vice President,<br />

New York, NY 10038<br />
Dear Ms. Springer:<br />
Eclectic/ Encore Properties is one <strong>of</strong> the largest prop rental companies on the east coast. We rent<br />
props to motion pictures, television, and theatci· industry with over 150,000 unique antique and<br />
period items for short-term lease. Our inventory is in use from Canada to Florida and all points in<br />
between; productions in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,<br />
Connecticut and Massachusetts to name a few. We speciali7.e in antique and pel'iod items rather<br />
than contemporary pieces that are the specialty <strong>of</strong> most <strong>of</strong> our competitors. In addition to the<br />
entertainment industry we serve event planners, advertisers, stylists, photographers and new, Web·<br />
episodes.<br />
We have been operating out <strong>of</strong> our Manhattan warehouse showroom consisting <strong>of</strong> between<br />
90,000 and 75,000 square feet for tlw last 23 years. The neighborhood has gone tlu-ough a<br />
tremendous transformation and it now appears to be the desired home base for the contemporary<br />
art galleries, fashion and hi-tech worlds in the Big Apple. Our landlord is dreaming <strong>of</strong> upgrading<br />
the building ru1d receiving far more income than they have in the past and has increased our rent<br />
by 40%. We cannot afford this increase because we are part <strong>of</strong> a very competitive industry;<br />
therefore, with the increase looming, we began looking for other large affordable alternate sites.<br />
There are several relocation options that I have been considering and evaluating. The simplest<br />
would be to relocate my entire operation to New Jersey or some other lower cost location. I have<br />
been in touch with the Connecticut Office <strong>of</strong> Film, Television and Digital Media and have been<br />
seeking sites and relocation opportunities with them. More fmitful opportunities have arisen<br />
closer to home in New Jersey. We were looking at a 60,000 square foot lease at Hartz Mountain<br />
Industrial Complex in Secaucus that has large open self contained buildings in immediate movein<br />
condition. It was somewhat near the train so we could get in from Penn Station in 30 minutes.<br />
The rental was quoted at $7.00 per sq. foot and would cut operating costs to under $400,000<br />
versus the $700,000 I am paying now to the projected $900,000 later this year when my rent<br />
increases. In New Jersey I also located a 65,000 square foot building in North Arlington for<br />
$4,000,000, which is right outside the Meadowlands area near Secaucus and just <strong>of</strong>f the New<br />
Jersey Turnpike. In Freehold, New Jersey we visited a 51,000 square foot building on the<br />
620 WEST 26TH STHEE'l' 4~'~' FLOOH • NEW YORK CITY • NY • 10001<br />
TEL 212.64.'5.8880 e FAX 212.243.6508 " www.edeclicpmps.com • EcltEncore@aol.com
market for $3,800,000, which had high ceilings and was also in move-in condition with a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
parking and truck bays for easy shipping and receiving.<br />
Over the last six years we have been photographing and bar coding every single item in the<br />
invent01y. l knew that the computer would become a tremendous vehicle and afford a huge<br />
opportw1ity to rent ow· props up and down the eastern seaboard. Our website is designed as a<br />
Rental Request site allowing our customers the ability to see everything we have and they are<br />
able to create their orders any time, day or night. No one has to visit our showroom to select<br />
items to rent, if time is <strong>of</strong> the essence, shopping is a click away; ~'W"' Ciec'iy·~nf>S. Co"l. This is<br />
why I am able to consider operating Eclectic Props in Connecticut or New Jersey.<br />
Another option we can consider is to remain in 30,000 square feet in Manhattan and relocate just<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the facility to a less expensive locale. As we have been contemplating these different<br />
options, a building became available in Long Island City that seems to provide me with the longterm<br />
security l need <strong>of</strong> owning a prope~1y so as to not be threatened by the rental trends in the<br />
market place. This building is quite expensive and I can only purchase it if I am able to take<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> the New York City IDA incentive package that I have become aware <strong>of</strong> through the<br />
course <strong>of</strong> my real estate search. The building would provide the space and flexibility to carry out<br />
all my expansion plans. Also, the parking lot in the Long Island City facility would enhance the<br />
shipping and receiving that has become such a headache on 26'" Street. While moving will be<br />
quite a great distraction and inconvenience, it will allow my company to expand il1to several new<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> operation such as the following:<br />
On the ground floor space we have plans to build a photo studio with green screen capability to<br />
rent hourly to photographers for their photo shoots. The rental <strong>of</strong> Eclectic's props for these<br />
shoots will be an easy addition to their package. We also have a plan to provide furniture repair<br />
and an upholstery shop. We have seen the need for custom upholstery work; photographers, film<br />
designers or television art directors will typically like the lines <strong>of</strong> a chair, chaise or settee, but not<br />
be able to use it in the fabric that we are <strong>of</strong>fering. The ability to change the material (and<br />
certainly a charge for this service would occur) would give the designer the desired look, and<br />
quickly. Finally, we'd be able to expand our existing furniture repair shop and <strong>of</strong>fer the ability<br />
to build props. Our employees are skilled in the art <strong>of</strong> prop building and Eclectic will be able to<br />
capitalize on this imp011ant need.<br />
The inefficiencies <strong>of</strong> my current Manhattan west side space have become very burdensome. The<br />
space is not heated and it is unpleasant to work in the winter months for my staff and visitors.<br />
75,000 square feet on 3 floors is serviced by only 2 small elevators and the loading, shipping and<br />
receiving in Manhattan is terribly crowded and inefficient. Not only do we have non-exclusive<br />
use <strong>of</strong> our main elevator but we increasingly find ourselves waiting with down time; yet, we arc<br />
requir·ed to pay the landlord for repairs, security and operations staff.<br />
We are seeking SBA financing as well as bank financing as part <strong>of</strong> this project and hope that the<br />
whole package can soon be completed so that our payroll <strong>of</strong> 18 persons can relocate to Long<br />
Island City. We will create at least 5 new jobs. If the IDA does not help us with this benefits<br />
package we will be forced to cancel our contract. There is no way I can afford full real estate<br />
taxes, energy costs, as well as mortgage recording tax costs for this very expensive acquisition.
ll is crucial that the IDA approves our project. I hopefully have demonstrated to you that we are<br />
an important wmpany to keep in New York City within the crucial New York City based media<br />
entertainment sector. We are an integral part <strong>of</strong> the industry and that is some <strong>of</strong> the reason that<br />
Connecticut has tried to woo us north. We would prefer to stay in New York and hope that the<br />
IDA will approve ow· project so that we can remain here.<br />
Thank you for your consideration.<br />

Financing and Benefits Summary<br />
The Company will be obtaining a 1-year construction loan from Key Food co-op in the amount <strong>of</strong> $800,000 to<br />
finance this project, which will carry an interest rate <strong>of</strong> 5.5%. The company has an existing commercial business<br />
loan from Carver bank, with an outstanding balance <strong>of</strong> approximately $170,000 to be paid over 3 years. It is<br />
anticipated that the Company will secure permanent financing to take out both <strong>of</strong> these loans. Total debt service<br />
on the permanent financing will be approximately $192,000 per year, and the Company demonstrates sufficient<br />
ability to service the debt. Based on historical financials, the Company has a DSCR <strong>of</strong> at least 1.49X.<br />
Company Performance and Projections<br />
The Company shows strong financials, generating gross pr<strong>of</strong>its <strong>of</strong> $1.53 million in 2011. The store is located in a<br />
primarily residential section <strong>of</strong> Rockaway Park, Queens, and is the only full-line grocery store within a quarter-mile<br />
pedestrian area. Much <strong>of</strong> this neighborhood was significantly affected by Hurricane Sandy, including the store. The<br />
approximately 3,250 residents <strong>of</strong> the surrounding census tract, many <strong>of</strong> whom are now without cars, rely on this<br />
store for grocery shopping. Furthermore, this store has a parking lot for 80 cars and is a destination for residents<br />
throughout the peninsula who need groceries.<br />
1<br />
Because operations have ceased, the number <strong>of</strong> jobs to be created at year three was used in the following<br />
calculations.<br />
2
Rock Beach Food Corp<br />
The store would also create 3 FTE jobs for local residents and produce 2.5 additional FTE jobs within three years.<br />
The owners intend to re-hire workers displaced due to business interruption and hire local residents for new<br />
positions at the store.<br />
Employee Benefits<br />
Employees receive on-the-job training, paid sick days, personal days, and paid vacation. Employees receive a 5%<br />
discount on purchases at the store.<br />
Recapture<br />
Pursuant to UTEP, all benefits subject to recapture for a 10-year period.<br />
Due Diligence<br />
The Agency conducted a background investigation <strong>of</strong> the Company and its principals and found no derogatory<br />
information.<br />

POST-CLOSING AMENDMENT<br />
AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.<br />
MEETING OF MARCH 12, 2013<br />
Project Summary<br />
In 1990, 1994, 2002, and 2005, NYCIDA issued bonds (collectively, the "Bonds") for the benefit <strong>of</strong><br />
American Airlines, Inc. ("American"). On November 29, 2011, American filed for bankruptcy. NYCIDA<br />
has been requested by The Bank <strong>of</strong> New York Mellon, as bond trustee (the "Trustee") acting on behalf <strong>of</strong><br />
the bondholders, to approve a stipulation that will be presented for approval by the Bankruptcy Court<br />
for the Southern District <strong>of</strong> New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The stipulation outlines a settlement<br />
proposal for claims filed by the Trustee in the American bankruptcy proceeding, with respect to the<br />
Bonds.<br />
The 1990 and 1994 bonds were primarily secured by a guaranty <strong>of</strong> AMR Corporation ("AMR"). In<br />
connection with the bankruptcy settlement proposal, a majority <strong>of</strong> the holders <strong>of</strong> the Bonds have<br />
negotiated an agreement (the "Agreement") recharacterizing the NYCIDA leases with respect to the<br />
1990 and 1994 bonds as unsecured financings not capable <strong>of</strong> being rejected. Under the Agreement, the<br />
holders <strong>of</strong> the 1990 and 1994 bonds are to receive in settlement a cash payment and are allowed<br />
unsecured claims with respect to the outstanding 1990 and 1994 bonds. The settlement payment will<br />
be paid from amounts being released from certain reserve funds held by the Trustee for the 2002 and<br />
2005 bonds, together with other funds.<br />
Pursuant to the Agreement, NYCIDA is seeking approval for amendments to the indenture with respect<br />
to the 2002 and 2005 bonds to (a) facilitate the release <strong>of</strong> a portion <strong>of</strong> the amounts on deposit in the<br />
debt service reserve funds for the 2002 Bonds and the 2005 Bonds in order to effectuate the terms <strong>of</strong><br />
the proposed settlement, (b) to extend the "no call" period for the 2002 bonds, and (c) authorize the<br />
execution and delivery <strong>of</strong> supplements to certain tax certificates for the 2002 and 2005 bonds and other<br />
related documents. The underlying Port Authority ground lease and Port Authority consent executed<br />
with respect to the 2002 and 2005 bonds allows these amendments to be made without additional<br />
approvals <strong>of</strong> the Port Authority.<br />
Importantly, as part <strong>of</strong> the Agreement, the leases for the 2002 and 2005 bonds are not being<br />
recharacterized and are being expressly assumed by American, leaving those bonds completely<br />
unimpaired. Any right on the part <strong>of</strong> American to recharacterize the leases for the 2002 and 2005 bonds<br />
is being expressly waived. In addition, the guaranties by AMR with respect to the 2002 and 2005 bonds<br />
are being reaffirmed and will remain fully effective and enforceable upon the emergence <strong>of</strong> AMR from<br />
bankruptcy. Moreover, the parties have agreed that NYCIDA's indemnification rights with respect to the<br />
2002 and 2005 bonds shall remain fully valid and enforceable as if there had never been a chapter 11<br />
filing. Finally, upon approval <strong>of</strong> the Bankruptcy Court, the Agreement will be binding on all holders <strong>of</strong><br />
the Bonds.<br />
The fees and expenses <strong>of</strong> NYCIDA and the Trustee, as well as their respective counsel fees, will be paid<br />
as part <strong>of</strong> this proposed settlement.<br />

NYCIDA Enforcement Action Report<br />
March 12, 2013<br />
Description Of Enforcement Actions and Entities<br />
The enclosed report (following this page) provides a description <strong>of</strong> enforcement actions and<br />
names <strong>of</strong> entities against which enforcement actions have been taken.<br />
Number <strong>of</strong> Ongoing Projects Outstanding<br />
As <strong>of</strong> March I, 2013, there were 534 projects, plus another 10 projects whose benefits have been<br />
terminated and have been referred to the New York City Law Department, for a total <strong>of</strong> 544<br />
ongoing projects.<br />
Percentage <strong>of</strong> Projects Subject to Enforcement Action<br />
The percentage <strong>of</strong> projects with respect to which enforcement actions are being undertaken (24)<br />
as compared to the ongoing projects outstanding (544) is 4.41 %.<br />
Defaulted Projects With No Contemplated Enforcement Action<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> projects for which events <strong>of</strong> default under program agreements have taken place<br />
and with respect to which no enforcement actions are currently contemplated is nine.<br />
Settlements Reached<br />
GES Bakery defaulted on its project and subsequently was subject to the recapture <strong>of</strong><br />
approximately $60,000 in benefits received. A recapture payment installment plan, payable over<br />
three years at the City's cost <strong>of</strong> borrowing (4%) was unanimously approved by the NYCIDA<br />
<strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Directors</strong> on December 11, 2012. The company will pay quarterly, equal installments<br />
<strong>of</strong> payment and interest until its obligations are paid in full. Total interest paid over the three<br />
years will be approximately $4,000. The present value <strong>of</strong> the $64,000 in payments received over<br />
the three years, using a discount rate <strong>of</strong> 6.25%, is $49,966.<br />
Manhattan Beer closed on a straight lease transaction in 2009 to purchase and renovate a facility<br />
located at I 080 Leggett Avenue in the Bronx. The company had begun renovations on the I 080<br />
Leggett Avenue facility until management learned <strong>of</strong> a larger property on East !49th Street, at<br />
which point the company approached the Agency to discuss receiving benefits in connection<br />
with the East !49th Street property. After discussions with the Agency, the company agreed to<br />
terminate the I 080 Leggett Avenue project and pursue the development <strong>of</strong> the larger East 149'h<br />
Street project. Instead <strong>of</strong> being recaptured upon the termination <strong>of</strong> the I 080 Leggett Avenue<br />
project, the benefits received by the Company (approximately $743,000) in connection with the<br />
I 080 Leggett Avenue project will only be subject to recapture if the East !49th Street project is<br />
