Adding a quality sporting goods retailer to the critical mix will balance the retail amenities within the Center and yield the highest productivity levels and sales tax capture for Carson City. To fill the gap between the market lease rate needed by City Management Services to satisfy development financing requirements and the tenant=s lease expectations in an aging shopping center and a second generation, blighted building, the Redevelopment Authority has the opportunity to reimburse a portion of new sales tax to the property owner to ensure this highly productive retail occupancy.

Staff Summary: Carson City currently has the second deed of trust on the BAC's Performance Hall, formerly St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church. This second gives the City the ability to exercise a remedy to cure any notice of breach and default and election to sell relating to any financial obligations incurred by the BAC that have been secured by the Performance Hall property. In 2004, the BAC entered into a Revolving Credit Deed of Trust Security Agreement with Wells Fargo in the amount of 200,000. In December of 2006, Wells Fargo provided an Aextension notice@ to the BAC until March of 2007. On August 7, 2007, Wells Fargo notified the City of the Notice of Default relating to the BAC's failure to pay in full the loan's principal, late charges, interest, taxes, attorney fees and miscellaneous fees incurred. By curing this unfortunate default, the City would own this property for perpetuity and be able to ensure its use for civic purposes on behalf of the citizens of Carson City. The value of the property far exceeds the cost to cure.
