The subject recommendation includes key business terms with developer BRIDGE Housing Inc for the construction of a proposed mixed-use complex located on the Cityshyowned Heritage Square South site The development Includes 7500 sq ft of commercial space and a 70-unit permanent supportive housing (PSH) project for

homeless seniors Financing for the housing component includes 4 tax credit equity County of Los Angeles funding and City loan assistance in the amount of $4992683 ($72358 per affo~able unit) The local benefits requirements for the project consists of 15 local hiring 20 local contracting and middot30 local purchasing BRIDGE Housing will develop and operate the project under a 99-year ground lease with the City

BACKGROUND

On January 28 2019 City Council approved the development concept for the Cityshyowned site located at 710-738 N Fair Oaks Ave and 19-35 E Orange Grove Blvd totaling approximately 54500 square feet commonly referred to as Heritage Square South and directed staff to negotiate with developer BRIDGE Housing Inc BRIDGE) on the teiTT)s for the development of the site Accordingly the City and BRIDGE entered into that certain Exclusive Negotiation Agreement dated July 24 2019 Agreement No 23101 The original staff-recommended development concept as approved by City Council consisted of two components a) commercial use with 10000 square feet to 15000 square feet and b) permanent supportive housing (PSH) with up to 70 units to serve homeless seniors

Following the City Council action staff formed and consulted with a working group of community members comprised of Jim Morris Luke Walker Cindy Schneulle Daniel Pinzon and Rogelio Ramirez In addition staff and BRIDGE conducted community outreach and hosted community meetings with businesses residents and resident associations faith-based congregations and schools Constructive dialog took place in tne community meetings and within the community working group The vast majority of participants were supportive of the PSH project Concerns were raised and discussed Key concerns pertained to security local benefits and the desire for the new retail tenants to positively impact the neighborhood by bringing goods and services not currently available to the community

Analysis of Development Scenarios BRIDGE evaluated a number ofdevelopment scenarios These options varied by amount of retail space and parking (surface parking at-grade structured podium parking and subterranean parking podium) Parking for this development Is driven by the retail requirement (3 spaces per 1000 sf of retail =34 spaces) BRIDGE found the following costmiddotImpacts associated with the three parking types 1) Surface parking has a negligible cost impact 2) At-grade podium parking is approximately $25000parking space 3) Subterranean parking costs can nm $60000parking space depending on soil conditions layback conditions and temporary shoring The financing gaps that resulted from the development scenarios ranged from $49 million (7500 sf retail space) to $103 million (15000 sf retail space) as summarized below

In early February 2020 BRIDGE consulted with a regional retail developerowner that has a track record in Southern Callfomla In markets similar to the area within which Heritage Square South Is locat~ to gauge market demand for 10000 sf of retail space for this location Based on the scale of retail and location demand was considered weak at best Since then COVI()19 pandemic impacts have negatively impacted retail market risk and demand With businesses across the region and country shuttering doors It is anticipated there will be more significant retail vacancies Uncertain of how soon the economy will _resume with demand for dining and retail BRIDGE believes that it is prudent to avoid a large retail frontage that may be vacant for some years to come

Accordingly BRIDGE utilized conservative financial underwriting assumptions for the retail component of this project resulting in a low retail revenue stream which supports conventional permanent financing in the amount of $29M at best Increasing the retail component greater than 7500 sf will increase the financing gap requiring additional City non-affordable housing funds to subsidize the gap Most of the proposed $39 million in total financing for the proposed project are required to be used exclusively for affordable housing (tax credits state and County funds City lnclusionary funds and a portion of the City land contribution and Housing Successor funds) This leaves only approximately $7 million of remaining financing sources available to support the retail development cost (conventional loan deferred developer fee and a portion of the City land contribution and Housing Successor funds) middot

Heritage Square South Project May 112020 Page 4 of 10

Hence given the constraints of the available funding sources and appropriately conservative underwriting the project would not be financially feasible with a retail component in excess of 7500 sf As previously noted financing sources required to be used exclusively for the development of affordable housing cannot be used to develop and operate retail space and associated parking Any significant Increase In the size of the retail space and associated parking will require additional City non-affordable housing subsidy

Under state redevelopment dissolution law the City as Housing Successor is remiddotquired to encumber a certain amount from the Low Income Housing Asset Fund annually by June 30 The amount is determined by an annual audit of the fund The minimum required amount to be encumbered by June 30 2020 Is $2539446 The use of $3468834 of these funds for the proposed middotproject will enable the City to middotexceed the encumbrance requirement leaving a non-programmed fund balance of$1102781 In addition $1523849 in City lncluslonary Housing funds are proposed to be used for the prpject leaving a non-programmed fund balance of $1 602018

Based on the analysis of development scenarios the most financially feasible development program is a three-story non-podium project that includes 7500 sf of retail space a PSH residential project with 70 units and surface parking This project has a financing gap in the amount of $4992683($72358 per affordable unit which would be filled by a direct funding subsidy from the City The proposed project would be developed owned and operated by BRIDGE The PSH component would consist of 69 one-bedroom units for homeless seniors plus one (1) unit for a resident manager Adjacent to the north of the proj~ct site Is the 70-unit Heritage Square Senior Apartments that BRIDGE developed in 2016 which provides affordable rental housing for very low income seniors Operating on the City-owned Heritage Square South site is a commercial tenant Churchs Chicken restaurant at 710 N Fair Oaks Avenue which BRIDGE will be responsible for relocating The City-owned Heritage Square South project site would be leased to BRIDGE under a 99-year ground lease

BRIDGE Experience Supportive Services Operations Property Management BRIDGE has over 16 years of experience with mixed-use and supportive housing developments Since 2002 BRIDGE has successfully completed 11 supportive housing projects (682 total units) and 30 mixed-use projects (4034 total units) in current operations Of the mixed-used projects five include tax credit financed supportive middot housing components

For the proposed Heritage Square South PSH project an array of supportive services would be available to the residents including case management food health care employment and job training and education These services would be provided directly by or coordinated through Union Station Homeless Services under a resident supportive services contract with BRIDGE

BRIDGE will implement a good neighbor policy in which community concerns are anticipated and preempted Close proximity to BRIDGEs Heritage Square Senior

In early February 2020 BRIDGE consulted with a regional retail developerowner that has a track record in Southern Callfomla In markets similar to the area within which Heritage Square South Is locat~ to gauge market demand for 10000 sf of retail space for this location Based on the scale of retail and location demand was considered weak at best Since then COVI()19 pandemic impacts have negatively impacted retail market risk and demand With businesses across the region and country shuttering doors It is anticipated there will be more significant retail vacancies Uncertain of how soon the economy will _resume with demand for dining and retail BRIDGE believes that it is prudent to avoid a large retail frontage that may be vacant for some years to come

Accordingly BRIDGE utilized conservative financial underwriting assumptions for the retail component of this project resulting in a low retail revenue stream which supports conventional permanent financing in the amount of $29M at best Increasing the retail component greater than 7500 sf will increase the financing gap requiring additional City non-affordable housing funds to subsidize the gap Most of the proposed $39 million in total financing for the proposed project are required to be used exclusively for affordable housing (tax credits state and County funds City lnclusionary funds and a portion of the City land contribution and Housing Successor funds) This leaves only approximately $7 million of remaining financing sources available to support the retail development cost (conventional loan deferred developer fee and a portion of the City land contribution and Housing Successor funds) middot

Hence given the constraints of the available funding sources and appropriately conservative underwriting the project would not be financially feasible with a retail component in excess of 7500 sf As previously noted financing sources required to be used exclusively for the development of affordable housing cannot be used to develop and operate retail space and associated parking Any significant Increase In the size of the retail space and associated parking will require additional City non-affordable housing subsidy

Under state redevelopment dissolution law the City as Housing Successor is remiddotquired to encumber a certain amount from the Low Income Housing Asset Fund annually by June 30 The amount is determined by an annual audit of the fund The minimum required amount to be encumbered by June 30 2020 Is $2539446 The use of $3468834 of these funds for the proposed middotproject will enable the City to middotexceed the encumbrance requirement leaving a non-programmed fund balance of$1102781 In addition $1523849 in City lncluslonary Housing funds are proposed to be used for the prpject leaving a non-programmed fund balance of $1 602018

Based on the analysis of development scenarios the most financially feasible development program is a three-story non-podium project that includes 7500 sf of retail space a PSH residential project with 70 units and surface parking This project has a financing gap in the amount of $4992683($72358 per affordable unit which would be filled by a direct funding subsidy from the City The proposed project would be developed owned and operated by BRIDGE The PSH component would consist of 69 one-bedroom units for homeless seniors plus one (1) unit for a resident manager Adjacent to the north of the proj~ct site Is the 70-unit Heritage Square Senior Apartments that BRIDGE developed in 2016 which provides affordable rental housing for very low income seniors Operating on the City-owned Heritage Square South site is a commercial tenant Churchs Chicken restaurant at 710 N Fair Oaks Avenue which BRIDGE will be responsible for relocating The City-owned Heritage Square South project site would be leased to BRIDGE under a 99-year ground lease

BRIDGE Experience Supportive Services Operations Property Management BRIDGE has over 16 years of experience with mixed-use and supportive housing developments Since 2002 BRIDGE has successfully completed 11 supportive housing projects (682 total units) and 30 mixed-use projects (4034 total units) in current operations Of the mixed-used projects five include tax credit financed supportive middot housing components

For the proposed Heritage Square South PSH project an array of supportive services would be available to the residents including case management food health care employment and job training and education These services would be provided directly by or coordinated through Union Station Homeless Services under a resident supportive services contract with BRIDGE

ICAUTION This email was delivered from the Internet Do not click links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe

Good afternoon

Thank you for considering steps to reopen Pasadena businesses

The first step is for Pasadenas Public Health Department to determine it is safe to do so even on a limited basis Like restaurants I think most retailers could be able and willing to do curbside pick-up of goods I expect they would welcome guidelines for safety cleanliness and protective equipment that might be necessary That would come from the Public Health Department and should be clearly written and provided to all retailers at no cost

Please as you consider steps to reopen commerce in Pasadena do not place any burden on the businesses and do not do anything at all to delay or impede that opening

As an example other jurisdictions are going to allow restaurants to reopen when it is safe to for dine in customers without requiring in-person health inspections Restaurants will be able to self-certify over the phone or via email or online fillable form that they have sanitized the establishment been treated for vermin (as required) and have necessary safety equipment and procedures in place to protect customers Requiring a health inspector to visit each establishment will mean delays and most likely additional costs for anyone wanting to reopen This is not the time to pile on delays and costs for any business in Pasadena

A recent survey found that as many as 25 of small local businesses will fail for lack of $10000 to $15000 That amount is enough to keep them open over through the next five months Please do not add any costs or place any impediments in the way of reopening for those retailers and restaurants who are significant employers in our community and contribute so much to Pasadenas character and attractiveness for visitors and local residents alike

This is a more than precarious circumstance for 80 of your locally owned businesses It is a disaster Anything that delays reopening or adds costs to reopening may mean fewer are able to reopen at all

Thank you

Good afternoon

Thank you for considering steps to reopen Pasadena businesses

The first step is for Pasadenas Public Health Department to determine it is safe to do so even on a limited basis Like restaurants I think most retailers could be able and willing to do curbside pick-up of goods I expect they would welcome guidelines for safety cleanliness and protective equipment that might be necessary That would come from the Public Health Department and should be clearly written and provided to all retailers at no cost

Please as you consider steps to reopen commerce in Pasadena do not place any burden on the businesses and do not do anything at all to delay or impede that opening

As an example other jurisdictions are going to allow restaurants to reopen when it is safe to for dine in customers without requiring in-person health inspections Restaurants will be able to self-certify over the phone or via email or online fillable form that they have sanitized the establishment been treated for vermin (as required) and have necessary safety equipment and procedures in place to protect customers Requiring a health inspector to visit each establishment will mean delays and most likely additional costs for anyone wanting to reopen This is not the time to pile on delays and costs for any business in Pasadena

A recent survey found that as many as 25 of small local businesses will fail for lack of $10000 to $15000 That amount is enough to keep them open over through the next five months Please do not add any costs or place any impediments in the way of reopening for those retailers and restaurants who are significant employers in our community and contribute so much to Pasadenas character and attractiveness for visitors and local residents alike

This is a more than precarious circumstance for 80 of your locally owned businesses It is a disaster Anything that delays reopening or adds costs to reopening may mean fewer are able to reopen at all

Hi

My name is Joe Bautista and I live at 1989 CasaGrande Street right next to Marshall Fundamental

As much as I hate new development if a lot is to be built up I would much prefer to see public affordable housing built on Pasadena land as opposed to retail space It doesnt necessarily have to be an eitheror situation - for example one could have mixed use where the first floor is retail and all floors above that are residential but if I had to choose one over the other it would be housing

This is my main request that Ed Tech and the City Council approve the development of Heritage Square South

Secondarily ifwe wish to keep small business owners in Pasadena I believe we should begin looking into the possibility of rent control for commercial property This has been done in other municipalities including New York City and while it may be controversial at this time it may be the best bet for fully utilizing commercial space that is left vacant due to an undue hardship on small business owners to continually increase cash flow to keep up with rising rents

Finally if we want to limit development in Pasadena- specifically for housing- I think it behooves the City Council to consider a vacancy tax What is a more wasteful use of land than to have a perfectly liveable unit of housing not occupied This seems like an egregious waste when we have both residents on the street homeless and residents who wish to keep Pasadena from becoming overdeveloped

Dear Mayor and City Council members

I thank you for your unanimous approval of homeless senior housing at Heritage Square South in 2018 I also want to thank you for your 100 vote in support of the Salvation Army proposal to build permanent supportive housing I urge you to give final approval for both these proposals Pasadenas homeless population will undoubtedly increase as a result of the Covid 19 crisis and its economic fallout The Salvation Army proposal meets an urgent need and has not met with much opposition from neighbors Heritage Square South has wide-spread community support from congregations and neighbors in Northwest Pasadena

The work of Friends In Deed supports the folks that will live in these places and we know firsthand how critical it is to have safe and supportive housing for our most vulnerable neighbors including the many seniors amongst us The Bible tells us to do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord I cant think of a better way to live out this teaching then by building these two important housing locations

I thank you for your unanimous approval of homeless senior housing at Heritage Square South in 2018 I also want to thank you for your 100 vote in support of the Salvation Army proposal to build permanent supportive housing I urge you to give final approval for both these proposals Pasadenas homeless population will undoubtedly increase as a result of the Covid 19 crisis and its economic fallout The Salvation Army proposal meets an urgent need and has not met with much opposition from neighbors Heritage Square South has wide-spread community support from congregations and neighbors in Northwest Pasadena

The work of Friends In Deed supports the folks that will live in these places and we know firsthand how critical it is to have safe and supportive housing for our most vulnerable neighbors including the many seniors amongst us The Bible tells us to do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord I cant think of a better way to live out this teaching then by building these two important housing locations

Dear Ed Development and Tech Committee I am writing to support the Heritage

Housing South development Even before this pandemic we had been making

headway in housing our unhoused (homeless) neighbors This important project

would continue to move us in the right direction by housing those in our

communities that are most vulnerable our senior residents

In addition to this critical health benefit no general funds are needed This project

includes 15 local hire 20 local contracting and 30 local purchasing

agreements a local economic boon during a time when so many in our communities

are out of work

I have heard from many small businesses that would like to reopen and get their

employees back to work They are the economic engine of the City and the biggest

source of local hiring SBA and other funding sources have been a challenge to

access for these businesses If the City can come up with a check list for a business to

open and the business submits a plan on how to fulfill the requirements they should

be allowed to open for the next phase Thank you to EdTech for meeting to provide a

EdTech Committee

Open Local Retail Over the last few weeks I have comfortably shopped at Annstrong Nursery Lincoln Nursery Total Wine Ace Hardware Target and of course several local grocery stores In each place the staff and customers practiced social distancing and lately wore masks and deployed other safeguards to result in a fear-free likely very safe experience So why are all other Pasadena retail stores still closed Why can I buy a gardening book at Armstrong and not at Vromans Why can I buy wine glasses at Total Wine and not at Pottery Barn Why can I buy garden furniture at Ace and not at Patio World Why can I buy a camera at Target and not at Sammys

The essential business edict has been patently unfair from the start and after six weeks it is time to open up all Pasadena retail We dont want curbside pick-up -lets not pretend that means open Ive been able to curbside pick-up from Michaels during the entire shutdown another unfair and even arbitrary situation

I dont know if the grocery stores enacted some government-based protocol or not but they did a great job of creating their own and largely unifonn guidelines And nearly every shopper bought in to the requirements Our many retailers are responsible and will generally adopt similar protocols without a lot of city or county guidance- I trust Vromans and others to act responsibly and deliver a safe shopping environment And shoppers will demand and expect it

Every day we delay opening our stores is another nail in their coffins likely leading to a graveyard of failed locally-owned stores within weeks

Please consider seeding a fund to support locally owned small businesses that are at

risk of failure as result of the COVID-19 pandemic Studies have shown that as many

as 25 of local small businesses across the US may fail Those that do not survive

will have failed for lack of between $10000 and $15000 The City of Pasadena can

make an investment in its own future by providing seed money for a fund that can be

administered locally to small businesses that either did not qualify or did not receive

PPP loans You can help save the essential character and attractiveness o our city and

preserve sales tax and other city revenues into the future with a relatively modest

Good afternoon members of the EdTech Committee

In these unprecedented times I truly appreciate the citys nimble actions to ensure that important community meetings such as this can continue in a safe yet still public process In preparation for todays committee meeting I wanted to assure you that BRIDGE will be in attendance at todays meeting and to the extent communication is possible available for questions and comments

I want to express BRIDGEs ongoing commitment to bringing high quality development to the city of Pasadena providing much needed housing for Pasadenas seniors We remain committed to the Local Benefit Plan ensuring that the investment of the citys housing funds are well leveraged to bring economic benefit to Pasadenas workforce businesses and the general economy

In these uncertain times our economically fragile neighbors will be the most deeply impacted and many will face the loss of their housing The urgency to produce quality affordable housing opportunities is greater now than ever

I urge you to vote in support of this important investment for Pasadena providing much needed housing for our vulnerable seniors

IcAUTION This email was delivered from the Internet Do not click links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe

Hello - please replace this letter with the prior one from earlier today - as I realized I neglected to use the middotspecific words permanent supportive housing in my request I cannot simply assume that everyone will understand my meaning without the correct words Thank you Patricia Cunliffe

To Whom it May Concern

My name is Patricia Cunliffe I am a 59-year-old documentary filmmaker artist amp freelance journalist My partner is a 73-year-old 80s hit songwriter amp music professional As impressive as that may sound- we have perfect credit amp been tenants in the same house for 27 years- We are not homeowners I just lost my part-time survival income bookkeeping job to a younger person willing to take Jess money In fact we aspire to poverty level That is how poor we actually are

You may have an opinion in your mind of the type of individuals who require affordable income based senior housing The truth is you have no idea how many people some actually high-profile in the area who worry constantly about what is to become of us It is a very very scary thought to wonder when it is our tum to be homeless

I am begging you to please take compassion on fellow human beings over the revenue that could possibly be made from those who are willing to pay any price to become the majority amp move out the current residents of our city When I say move out- that does not even mean relocate What that means is place on the street Take a good look at the homeless population sleeping outside of the $200000000 condos amp please ask yourselves how this is even possible

I BEG YOU to please find compassion in your hearts to utilize Heritage Square South for permanent supportive housing over any other usage PLEASE

No general funds are needed for Ed Tech and the Council to vote for

1) Leasing land to the developer Bridge Housing Inc

2) Providing funding from the Housing Successor Low Income Housing Asset Fund and the lnclusionary Housing Trust Fund - so that no money is needed from the General Fund

This project includes 15 local hire 20 local contracting and 30 local purchasing agreements -which will be of benefit to our economy during these scary times

The fact that affordable housing advocates have been working for 3 years to achieve this goal is ludacris The idea that providing housing for Pasadenas low-income amp homeless seniors is not the first thought in our elected officials minds is abonimable

Hello - please replace this letter with the prior one from earlier today - as I realized I neglected to use the middotspecific words permanent supportive housing in my request I cannot simply assume that everyone will understand my meaning without the correct words Thank you Patricia Cunliffe

To Whom it May Concern

My name is Patricia Cunliffe I am a 59-year-old documentary filmmaker artist amp freelance journalist My partner is a 73-year-old 80s hit songwriter amp music professional As impressive as that may sound- we have perfect credit amp been tenants in the same house for 27 years- We are not homeowners I just lost my part-time survival income bookkeeping job to a younger person willing to take Jess money In fact we aspire to poverty level That is how poor we actually are

You may have an opinion in your mind of the type of individuals who require affordable income based senior housing The truth is you have no idea how many people some actually high-profile in the area who worry constantly about what is to become of us It is a very very scary thought to wonder when it is our tum to be homeless

I am begging you to please take compassion on fellow human beings over the revenue that could possibly be made from those who are willing to pay any price to become the majority amp move out the current residents of our city When I say move out- that does not even mean relocate What that means is place on the street Take a good look at the homeless population sleeping outside of the $200000000 condos amp please ask yourselves how this is even possible

I BEG YOU to please find compassion in your hearts to utilize Heritage Square South for permanent supportive housing over any other usage PLEASE

No general funds are needed for Ed Tech and the Council to vote for

1) Leasing land to the developer Bridge Housing Inc

2) Providing funding from the Housing Successor Low Income Housing Asset Fund and the lnclusionary Housing Trust Fund - so that no money is needed from the General Fund

This project includes 15 local hire 20 local contracting and 30 local purchasing agreements -which will be of benefit to our economy during these scary times

The fact that affordable housing advocates have been working for 3 years to achieve this goal is ludacris The idea that providing housing for Pasadenas low-income amp homeless seniors is not the first thought in our elected officials minds is abonimable

I have heard from many small businesses that would like to reopen and get their

employees back to work They are the economic engine of the City and the biggest

source of local hiring SBA and other funding sources have been a challenge to

access for these businesses If the City can come up with a check list for a business to

open and the business submits a plan on how to fulfill the requirements they should

be allowed to open for the next phase Thank you to EdTech for meeting to provide a

path forward

EdTech Committee

Open Local Retail Over the last few weeks I have comfortably shopped at Annstrong Nursery Lincoln Nursery Total Wine Ace Hardware Target and of course several local grocery stores In each place the staff and customers practiced social distancing and lately wore masks and deployed other safeguards to result in a fear-free likely very safe experience So why are all other Pasadena retail stores still closed Why can I buy a gardening book at Armstrong and not at Vromans Why can I buy wine glasses at Total Wine and not at Pottery Barn Why can I buy garden furniture at Ace and not at Patio World Why can I buy a camera at Target and not at Sammys

The essential business edict has been patently unfair from the start and after six weeks it is time to open up all Pasadena retail We dont want curbside pick-up -lets not pretend that means open Ive been able to curbside pick-up from Michaels during the entire shutdown another unfair and even arbitrary situation

I dont know if the grocery stores enacted some government-based protocol or not but they did a great job of creating their own and largely unifonn guidelines And nearly every shopper bought in to the requirements Our many retailers are responsible and will generally adopt similar protocols without a lot of city or county guidance- I trust Vromans and others to act responsibly and deliver a safe shopping environment And shoppers will demand and expect it

Every day we delay opening our stores is another nail in their coffins likely leading to a graveyard of failed locally-owned stores within weeks

Please consider seeding a fund to support locally owned small businesses that are at

risk of failure as result of the COVID-19 pandemic Studies have shown that as many

as 25 of local small businesses across the US may fail Those that do not survive

will have failed for lack of between $10000 and $15000 The City of Pasadena can

make an investment in its own future by providing seed money for a fund that can be

administered locally to small businesses that either did not qualify or did not receive

PPP loans You can help save the essential character and attractiveness o our city and

preserve sales tax and other city revenues into the future with a relatively modest

investment

Wayne Hunt 1 06 S Grand A venue

EdTech Committee

Open Local Retail Over the last few weeks I have comfortably shopped at Annstrong Nursery Lincoln Nursery Total Wine Ace Hardware Target and of course several local grocery stores In each place the staff and customers practiced social distancing and lately wore masks and deployed other safeguards to result in a fear-free likely very safe experience So why are all other Pasadena retail stores still closed Why can I buy a gardening book at Armstrong and not at Vromans Why can I buy wine glasses at Total Wine and not at Pottery Barn Why can I buy garden furniture at Ace and not at Patio World Why can I buy a camera at Target and not at Sammys

The essential business edict has been patently unfair from the start and after six weeks it is time to open up all Pasadena retail We dont want curbside pick-up -lets not pretend that means open Ive been able to curbside pick-up from Michaels during the entire shutdown another unfair and even arbitrary situation

I dont know if the grocery stores enacted some government-based protocol or not but they did a great job of creating their own and largely unifonn guidelines And nearly every shopper bought in to the requirements Our many retailers are responsible and will generally adopt similar protocols without a lot of city or county guidance- I trust Vromans and others to act responsibly and deliver a safe shopping environment And shoppers will demand and expect it

Every day we delay opening our stores is another nail in their coffins likely leading to a graveyard of failed locally-owned stores within weeks

Thank you

stretch and strengthen and relieve stress for those not familiar with yoga We believe we can be ready to

Please consider seeding a fund to support locally owned small businesses that are at

risk of failure as result of the COVID-19 pandemic Studies have shown that as many

as 25 of local small businesses across the US may fail Those that do not survive

will have failed for lack of between $10000 and $15000 The City of Pasadena can

make an investment in its own future by providing seed money for a fund that can be

administered locally to small businesses that either did not qualify or did not receive

PPP loans You can help save the essential character and attractiveness o our city and

preserve sales tax and other city revenues into the future with a relatively modest

Good afternoon members of the EdTech Committee

In these unprecedented times I truly appreciate the citys nimble actions to ensure that important community meetings such as this can continue in a safe yet still public process In preparation for todays committee meeting I wanted to assure you that BRIDGE will be in attendance at todays meeting and to the extent communication is possible available for questions and comments

I want to express BRIDGEs ongoing commitment to bringing high quality development to the city of Pasadena providing much needed housing for Pasadenas seniors We remain committed to the Local Benefit Plan ensuring that the investment of the citys housing funds are well leveraged to bring economic benefit to Pasadenas workforce businesses and the general economy

In these uncertain times our economically fragile neighbors will be the most deeply impacted and many will face the loss of their housing The urgency to produce quality affordable housing opportunities is greater now than ever

I urge you to vote in support of this important investment for Pasadena providing much needed housing for our vulnerable seniors

You may have an opinion in your mind of the type of individuals who require affordable income based senior housing The truth is you have no idea how many people some actually high-profile in the area who worry constantly about what is to become of us It is a very very scary thought to wonder when it is our tum to be homeless

I am begging you to please take compassion on fellow human beings over the revenue that could possibly be made from those who are willing to pay any price to become the majority amp move out the current residents of our city When I say move out- that does not even mean relocate What that means is place on the street Take a good look at the homeless population sleeping outside of the $200000000 condos amp please ask yourselves how this is even possible

No general funds are needed for Ed Tech and the Council to vote for

1) Leasing land to the developer Bridge Housing Inc

2) Providing funding from the Housing Successor Low Income Housing Asset Fund and the lnclusionary Housing Trust Fund - so that no money is needed from the General Fund

This project includes 15 local hire 20 local contracting and 30 local purchasing agreements -which will be of benefit to our economy during these scary times

The fact that affordable housing advocates have been working for 3 years to achieve this goal is ludacris The idea that providing housing for Pasadenas low-income amp homeless seniors is not the first thought in our elected officials minds is abonimable

Good afternoon members of the EdTech Committee

In these unprecedented times I truly appreciate the citys nimble actions to ensure that important community meetings such as this can continue in a safe yet still public process In preparation for todays committee meeting I wanted to assure you that BRIDGE will be in attendance at todays meeting and to the extent communication is possible available for questions and comments

I want to express BRIDGEs ongoing commitment to bringing high quality development to the city of Pasadena providing much needed housing for Pasadenas seniors We remain committed to the Local Benefit Plan ensuring that the investment of the citys housing funds are well leveraged to bring economic benefit to Pasadenas workforce businesses and the general economy

In these uncertain times our economically fragile neighbors will be the most deeply impacted and many will face the loss of their housing The urgency to produce quality affordable housing opportunities is greater now than ever

I urge you to vote in support of this important investment for Pasadena providing much needed housing for our vulnerable seniors

Respectfully Anna Slaby

To Whom it May Concern

My name is Patricia Cunliffe I am a 59-year-old documentary filmmaker artist amp freelance journalist My partner is a 73-year-old 80s hit songwriter amp music professional As impressive as that may sound- we have perfect credit amp been tenants in the same house for 27 years- We are not homeowners I just lost my part-time survival income bookkeeping job to a younger person willing to take Jess money In fact we aspire to poverty level That is how poor we actually are

You may have an opinion in your mind of the type of individuals who require affordable income based senior housing The truth is you have no idea how many people some actually high-profile in the area who worry constantly about what is to become of us It is a very very scary thought to wonder when it is our tum to be homeless

I am begging you to please take compassion on fellow human beings over the revenue that could possibly be made from those who are willing to pay any price to become the majority amp move out the current residents of our city When I say move out- that does not even mean relocate What that means is place on the street Take a good look at the homeless population sleeping outside of the $200000000 condos amp please ask yourselves how this is even possible

I BEG YOU to please find compassion in your hearts to utilize Heritage Square South for permanent supportive housing over any other usage PLEASE

No general funds are needed for Ed Tech and the Council to vote for

1) Leasing land to the developer Bridge Housing Inc

2) Providing funding from the Housing Successor Low Income Housing Asset Fund and the lnclusionary Housing Trust Fund - so that no money is needed from the General Fund

This project includes 15 local hire 20 local contracting and 30 local purchasing agreements -which will be of benefit to our economy during these scary times

The fact that affordable housing advocates have been working for 3 years to achieve this goal is ludacris The idea that providing housing for Pasadenas low-income amp homeless seniors is not the first thought in our elected officials minds is abonimable

Please consider seeding a fund to support locally owned small businesses that are at

risk of failure as result of the COVID-19 pandemic Studies have shown that as many

as 25 of local small businesses across the US may fail Those that do not survive

will have failed for lack of between $10000 and $15000 The City of Pasadena can

make an investment in its own future by providing seed money for a fund that can be

administered locally to small businesses that either did not qualify or did not receive

PPP loans You can help save the essential character and attractiveness o our city and

preserve sales tax and other city revenues into the future with a relatively modest

investment

My name is Patricia Cunliffe I am a 59-year-old documentary filmmaker artist amp freelance journalist My partner is a 73-year-old 80s hit songwriter amp music professional As impressive as that may sound- we have perfect credit amp been tenants in the same house for 27 years- We are not homeowners I just lost my part-time survival income bookkeeping job to a younger person willing to take Jess money In fact we aspire to poverty level That is how poor we actually are

You may have an opinion in your mind of the type of individuals who require affordable income based senior housing The truth is you have no idea how many people some actually high-profile in the area who worry constantly about what is to become of us It is a very very scary thought to wonder when it is our tum to be homeless

I am begging you to please take compassion on fellow human beings over the revenue that could possibly be made from those who are willing to pay any price to become the majority amp move out the current residents of our city When I say move out- that does not even mean relocate What that means is place on the street Take a good look at the homeless population sleeping outside of the $200000000 condos amp please ask yourselves how this is even possible

I BEG YOU to please find compassion in your hearts to utilize Heritage Square South for permanent supportive housing over any other usage PLEASE

No general funds are needed for Ed Tech and the Council to vote for

1) Leasing land to the developer Bridge Housing Inc

2) Providing funding from the Housing Successor Low Income Housing Asset Fund and the lnclusionary Housing Trust Fund - so that no money is needed from the General Fund

This project includes 15 local hire 20 local contracting and 30 local purchasing agreements -which will be of benefit to our economy during these scary times

The fact that affordable housing advocates have been working for 3 years to achieve this goal is ludacris The idea that providing housing for Pasadenas low-income amp homeless seniors is not the first thought in our elected officials minds is abonimable

CAUTION This email was delivered from the Internet Do not click links or open attachments unless you know the

content is safe

gtIve read the report on the Heritage Square South project The approximate cost of $80 per square foot for each

permanent supportive unit seems reasonable

gt gtA few questions

gt 1 Land is city owned yet BRIDGE will own and operate

gt 2 What does the city stand to make from the lease deal gt 3 Loan repayment to come out of net-cash flow Is this like the Danny Bakewell projects Will the city ever see any

money

gt 4 Under Budget Summary- what does the $400000 relocation cost cover

gt 5 With our current economic challenges how will the retail space be handled Will residents be allowed to weigh in

on what sorts of businesses they would like to see in those spaces

gt gtBest

Good afternoon members of the EdTech Committee

In these unprecedented times I truly appreciate the citys nimble actions to ensure that important community meetings such as this can continue in a safe yet still public process In preparation for todays committee meeting I wanted to assure you that BRIDGE will be in attendance at todays meeting and to the extent communication is possible available for questions and comments

I want to express BRIDGEs ongoing commitment to bringing high quality development to the city of Pasadena providing much needed housing for Pasadenas seniors We remain committed to the Local Benefit Plan ensuring that the investment of the citys housing funds are well leveraged to bring economic benefit to Pasadenas workforce businesses and the general economy

In these uncertain times our economically fragile neighbors will be the most deeply impacted and many will face the loss of their housing The urgency to produce quality affordable housing opportunities is greater now than ever

I urge you to vote in support of this important investment for Pasadena providing much needed housing for our vulnerable seniors

Respectfully Anna Slaby
