A. Resolution FYE2021-018: ACDC Financing - Bedell Village Acquisition
Resolution FYE2021-018 was introduced by Vice Chairperson Torbert. Commissioners were provided a copy of the resolution and a report reflecting a historical analysis of AHA Development LLC's operating reserves. Secretary/Treasurer Tolbert and Finance Director, Wendy Cochran, reviewed the report. There was various dialogue regarding the funding needed by the Auburn Community Development Corporation ("ACDC") to acquire Bedell Village. It was agreed that AHA Development LLC will provide up to $2,750,000 to ACDC
to purchase Bedell Village. The funds will be used as a cash offer with 10% paid as earnest money upon signing the purchasing agreement. Upon completing the due diligence process, the balance will be paid at closing. Once it has been determined ACDC was awarded the bid
for Bedell Village, it will then be determined what method of financing will be used by ACDC to re-pay AHA Development LLC.
