Cookson, City Attorney Contact Number: 407 - 581 -9715 Reviewed By: Department Director: City Manager: Subject: AIISports Senior Living Project Financing (District #3: Johnson) Background Summary: Windermere Senior Living, LLC (the "Applicant ") intends to construct a senior living facility which will contain approximately 72 assisted living units and approximately 48 memory support units on 6.47 acres of property located on the north side of Roberson Road just east of the Roberson Rd./Windermere Rd. intersection. The Applicant originally desired the assistance of the City in obtaining conduit financing pursuant to the Florida Industrial Development Financing Act, Chapter 159, Part II, Florida Statutes (the "Act'). However, the Applicant has obtained a new financing source through the Capital Trust Agency once the Applicant and the City could not come to terms on the financing requirements. On June 18, 2013 the City took action with the adoption of a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act Resolution (the " TEFRA Resolution "). In order to provide adequate notice to all interested parties and comply with Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), the Applicant desires to have the City adopt a new TEFRA Resolution in connection with the new source of financing through the Capital Trust Agency. Adoption of the TEFRA Resolution requires a public hearing mandated by the IRS to provide reasonable opportunity for interested individuals to express their views, either orally or in writing, on the issuance of bonds and the project for which the bond funds will be allocated. As with the prior TEFRA Resolution adopted June 18, 2013, the adoption of this TEFRA Resolution does not bind the City to the obligation to issue the bonds or approve the project. The actual issuance of the bonds will come at a later date, should the Applicant the Capital Trust Agency decide to proceed with the conduit financing under the Act. Issue: Should the City Commission adopt the TEFRA Resolution to provide the requisite notice under the Code for the financing of the project? Recommendations City Staff recommends that the City Commission adopt the TEFRA Resolution. Attachments: TEFRA Resolution Financial Impact: Adoption of the TEFRA Resolution will have no fiscal impact to the City.
