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 />

1<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 />

2


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 />

Bronx, NY 10455<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 />

EDC c/o NYC IDA<br />

110 William Street<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 />
