This will allow the developer to receive the benefit of the tax credits that will be done by December 15, 2022 and then the benefit of the HUD permanent financing and the PILOT during the first quarter of 2023.

 Action Items-

 

1.     Final approval of revised (i) Board PILOT Application, (ii) MHA PILOT Application, (iii) Board PILOT Policies and Procedures, (iv) MHA PILOT Policies and Procedures and (v) Board Bond Policies and Procedures

Corbin Carpenter presented this agenda item by indicating this process began with Board staff in January 2022. Carpenter stated that through taking input from Board members and through his firm’s experience navigating PILOT and Bond transactions, Carpenter and Board staff were able to put together revised policies and procedures for the Board, and the respective applications making each more comprehensive and providing additional clarity and guidance for all. Carpenter stated that these revisions reflect the current environment and addressing different complexities facing each type of transaction. Carpenter reviewed the major changes that have been implemented within the policies and procedures as follows:

A.  The definition of Qualified Tenants was revised to require at least forty percent (40%) of the completed units of the project, at all times, shall be rented to and occupied by families and/or individuals whose income is sixty percent (60%) or less of the area median income.

B. The Tenant Benefit definition was revised to provide clearer guidance and examples of the requirements and expectations of Tenant Benefits to be provided to the residents; as well as, activities that do not qualify as Tenant Benefits.

C. Disclosure requirements were revised enhancing PILOT internal and external monitoring and compliance, in addition to, the quarterly and annual reporting requirements of the Lessee.

D. Due to increased costs with external monitoring and the annual audit we increased our rate that the Lessee is annually charged for residential rental units from $12 per unit to $14 per unit, effective January 1, 2023.

E. In accordance with the increased diligence and oversight required due complexity and nuances for current PILOT and bond transactions, the PILOT and Bond application fees were increased to cover the additional time expended by internal and external personnel.

F. The applications for PILOTs and Bonds were updated to reflect the new requirements in the MHA PILOT and HEHFB PILOT and Bond Policies and Procedures.

G. Overall the PILOT and Bond applications are more extensive and requests more diligence information about the Applicant, its development team and the proposed project, e.g. requesting more information regarding the Applicant’s: (i) character and fitness, (ii) development experience, (iii) financial background, (iv) proposed Tenant Benefits and (v) proposed uses of financial capital for the proposed project.

H.        Carpenter specifically pointed out certain questions in the bond and PILOT applications wherein the Applicant is requested to provide: (i) an explanation and description of the proposed Tenant Benefits the Applicant intends to create for the tenants ensuring such Tenant Benefits are tailored to the property’s anticipated or current demographics and resident base; (ii) the economic feasibility and detailed description of the residential rental project, including an explanation of the total economic and social impact this project will bring to the City of Memphis; (iii) the total number of rental units and the percentage of units: (a) that qualify as affordable; (b) with project-based rental assistance; and/or (c) that are occupied by the elderly and tenants with disabilities; and (iv) the projected monthly rental rate increases for new construction and/or the projected monthly rental rate increase per unit category due to the proposed rehabilitation.

I. More diligence for PILOT transferees, including extending the application review period from 30 days to 60 days.

Carpenter stated this this a progressive transition from the current version of the policies and procedures and it will be in the best interests of the tenants, the City of Memphis, and for the Board. Dan Reid expressed his appreciation to Carpenter Law Firm and Board staff in putting these documents together and making a road map that will evolve as the PILOT and bond programs evolve.

Charles Carpenter noted, for PILOT Lessees and other legal counsel that are in attendance at the meeting, that the Board is considering a roll out of these new policies and procedures with all of the PILOT Lessees through hosting a mandatory meeting to be scheduled for early 2023 so that everyone is on the same page going forward and can understand with clarity exactly what the obligations are and what is expected of PILOT Lessees. James Jalenak stated for the record that there has been extensive discussion of these documents over the last nine (9) months, and although it seems like a quick procedure in today’s meeting, it is the tail end of a long process and a lot of work between the Board’s legal counsel, the Board members and Board staff.

7.     PILOT Refinancing Application for The Villages TN LLC (d/b/a The Villages at Harrison Creek)

Carpenter presented this refinancing application for the project doing business as The Villages at Harrison Creek. Carpenter advised the Board that they were provided materials in their Board packet on this project, including an updated Sources and Uses table submitted by the applicant. Carpenter invited Elizabeth Friary to speak on this agenda item. Friary stated that the development team is proud of this project and that rehabilitation has been completed ahead of schedule. Friary stated that Covid-19 issues caused the development team to invest more equity than anticipated, and due to these issues and changes is the marketplace, the development team invested more of its own funds and are seeking this refinancing to pay back investors and also to continue to upgrade the project. Friary stated that when the project was taken over, there was a lot of crime, and the new ownership has since effectively addressed the crime and hired additional staff to be on hand to resolve all issues as they arise. Friary stated that now, this project is a good, safe, affordable apartment community. Carpenter stated that the revised Sources and Uses table shows how the refinancing proceeds will be used.  Cliff Henderson stated that based on the information provided from the Board’s most recent third-party compliance inspection, the property seems to have an occupancy issue. Carpenter asked Friary what the current occupancy is on the property? Friary stated that the current occupancy is seventy percent (70%) occupied. Bryce Miller stated that the most recent compliance report shows one hundred thirteen (113) vacant units out of the total three hundred seventy-three (373) units. Stephanie Bryant advised the Board that occupancy was at fifty-four percent (54%) at this time the original PILOT application was approved. Miller stated that as of October 18, 2022, reports show two hundred sixty (260) units occupied out of the three hundred seventy-three (373) total units. Miller asked Friary to provide the Board with an expected timeline for completion of the project. Friary stated that she would provide that information to the Board via email, but that the applicant has put a lot of money into the project and updated many of the units and will continue to do so, but she will provide a more specific timeline. Carpenter stated the Board’s policies require  a minimum seventy-five percent (75%) occupancy and since there is no evidence of that now, Carpenter proposed that the Board defer action on this item until the November 30, 2022 Board meeting in order to clarify the occupancy issue or the Board could approve this refinancing application subject to confirmation of the seventy five percent (75%) occupancy. Friary stated that the development team had hoped to close this transaction as soon as possible on this refinancing, but they would defer to what the Board decides and work within that timeframe. Corbin Carpenter asked Friary to state who the lender is for the refinancing. Friary responded that the lender for the refinancing transaction is Santander. Cliff Henderson expressed his concern is seeing the proceeds with the refinancing going back to the investors and compliance reports show that the property manager stated on October 18, 2022 that two hundred sixty (260) units are occupied of the total three hundred seventy-three (373) units and this was the same level of occupancy stated on July 25, 2022. Henderson stated that these items give pause until additional information is provided. Dan Reid stated that having heard the opposition and noting that the compliance report shows that occupancy has not changed from July 25, 2022 to the most recent visit on October 18, 2022, that this item be deferred to the November 30, 2022 Board meeting and advised the applicant that they would be required to provide documentation of occupancy to the Board to reflect the minimum seventy-five percent (75%) occupancy and Reid requested that Board staff provide the applicant with the most recent compliance report submitted to the Board by its third-party compliance inspector for reference. There were no further questions or comments.

 

PILOT Default Status Updates:

1.     Creekside Meadows (f/k/a Bent Tree):

Carpenter advised the Board that the Board packet includes the written report from the management company, as well as reports from Wilbanks Architecture & Associates, and the Board’s internal monitors have also been out to look at the property. Bryce Miller noted he has observed that management has repaired many of the broken windows which have been of continued concern to the Board, and further noted that some of the new windows have already been broken again. Miller stated that he would like to do an on-site visit with management to walk the property and discuss what can be done to prevent this issue moving forward. Rachel Stenger-Wiley agreed and stated that she is aware of the windows Miller is referring to and that management is in the legal process with the tenants of that unit. Stenger-Wiley stated that there are three (3) boarded windows and two (2) of the three (3) boarded windows belong to this unit that is involved in legal proceedings. Stenger-Wiley stated that management is currently waiting on the glass vendor to fix those windows. Miller stated that the on-site visit would be helpful to directly address some concerns on the property, but he has observed work that is moving the property in the right direction. Cliff Henderson asked if management had an estimate of how many windows have been damaged by this particular tenant or tenants? Stenger-Wiley responded that management can only identify with certainty that windows in the unit belonging to the tenants were broken by those tenants and they continue to repeatedly break their windows. Stenger-Wiley stated that they are working diligently with the court on the issue, but it is a slow process. Stenger-Wiley stated that additional window frames have been replaced on the property as well. Cliff Henderson asked if most of the broken windows were in unoccupied units. Stenger-Wiley responded that has been the case in the past, but that is no longer the case and broken windows are now mostly a result of squatters trying to enter the unoccupied units or kids breaking the windows and running off.  Miller stated that the broken windows he has observed in his most recent visits is observing a double pane window and only one pane is broken, which is consistent with Stenger-Wiley's assessment, and it does not look like someone attempting to enter the unit. Stenger-Wiley agreed but stated that the property has had issues with squatters and all unoccupied units are checked daily. After the completion of discussion, Carpenter recommended the property be included in the November 30, 2022 Board meeting agenda for further reporting following the on-site visit.

 

2.     New Horizon Apartments:

Carpenter stated that this property is a difficult property with eight hundred ninety-eight (898) units, and representatives have reported to the Board on a regular basis and invited Mark Jobe to make any further comment.  Jobe apologized for not providing a written update to the Board for this month's report but stated that renovation continues, the management company has added more HVAC, EPA certified technicians, electricians, plumbers and makeready specialists to continue these renovations. Jobe stated there are currently ninety-five (95) units under construction and expect fifty-five (55) of these ninety-five (95) units to come online within the next thirty (30) days, leaving one hundred thirteen (113) units remaining to be renovated. The property is now expected to be completed by early 2023. Jobe stated that there are the tenant benefits through the various nonprofits that are involved on the property and other committed tenant benefits in place. Jobe stated there is an online work order submission system to allow tenants to give service requests that can be handled promptly. Jobe expressed his appreciation to the Board for the continued oversight and working with management to see this renovation get completed. Jobe stated that they would be happy to schedule an on-site visit with representatives of the Board and that would be helpful to all parties to bring this renovation to a completion.

Carpenter stated that the Board would like to hear from Yitz Horowitz for an update on the construction on site. Carpenter also mentioned that the Board's occupancy requirement is also a focus on this project. Jobe stated that current occupancy is at sixty-eight percent (68%) occupied, which includes the down units and that the units that are online are leased for the most part and as units are completed and brought online, occupancy will increase with that. Yitz Horowitz introduced himself as the vice president of project management for the PILOT property, stating that he handles this and other projects for the ownership group, and he is very confident that management will see this project through to its completion. Horowitz stated that due to the size of the property and the full effects of post COVID, that construction has experienced some hurdles from a supply constraint, and the project has run into issues with occupancy due to the rental assistance not coming in anymore and it has been drawing up the funds the property has had. Horowitz stated that the property has experienced a lot of evictions, which has caused much of the positive progress that has been happening on the construction side to not really reflect very positively on occupancy. Horowitz explained the challenge of the property having significant move-outs and move-ins and the development team plans to hire additional crews to perform work on units beginning in 2023 so that they can speed up their progress.

Horowitz stated that there are many times work is unable to be performed in units due to lack of power and utilities due to staffing issues with Memphis Light Gas and Water (MLGW), in addition to MLGW only allowed to perform fifteen (15) requests a day to turn on power in these units. Horowitz stated that the development team has reached out to MLGW many times via phone and email and does not really get anywhere. Horowitz advised the Board that an additional project manager has been relocated to Memphis to provide additional concentration on New Horizon Apartments in order to see the project through to completion as soon as possible. Horowitz stated that the additional crews will assist in this as well because focus on construction is sometimes shifted to maintenance issues and with additional crews, focus will be able to stay on construction. Carpenter stated that staff would be in touch in order to schedule an on-site walkthrough of the property to have a more comprehensive understanding of where things when the PILOT Lessee reports at the November 30, 2022 Board meeting.
