5. Resolution approving an amendment to the restated Director of Finance Margolis explained the amend-
Owner Participation Agreement with Homart Devel- ment to the OPA with Homart in depth: the bonds
opment Corp., and repayment agreement, look to repayment of the outstanding debt in several
steps; first to issue bonds; use of the i~crement to
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 1992 pay some portion of the interest that then due; to
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED RESTATED cover the administration costs up to the $150,000 a

AGREEMENT WITH HOMART DEVELOPMENT outstanding principal; and there was a provision to
CORPORATION AND APPROVING THE REPAY- issue more bonds to pay the outstanding amount in
MENT AGREEMENT one lump sum if the Agency was so able.
Boardmember Yee questioned if this item should be
postponed until 12/9/92 when we know if we are
able to sell the bonds.
Director of Finance Margolis stated that it was
written at this point to provide a contingency if the
bonds are not issued. She believed it was for the
Agency to act because the prior agreement says that
the increment goes to Homart if you don't issue
bonds; and this says the bondholders will get it first.
Executive Director Armas stated that the effect date
of the agreement is the date the bonds are sold.
Boardmember Yee stated that if we did not get the
money December 9th, then this agreement will have
to be revamped anyway.
He questioned why the administrative costs were of
second priority, and felt that paying them off should
be first priority and then the interest.
