ORDINANCE

 

 

WHEREAS, the City of Chicago (the "City") is a home rule unit of government under Section 6(a), Article VII of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois and as such may legislate as to matters which pertain to its local government and affairs; and

 

WHEREAS, the City has determined that the continuance of a shortage of affordable housing to persons of low and moderate income is harmful to the health, prosperity, economic stability and general welfare of the City; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Community Development Block Grant Program, Year XXI, which had been created by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the City received an allocation of funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("Multi-Program Funds") to make loans and grants to expand the long-term supply of affordable housing through acquisition and rehabilitation in low- and moderate-income areas, to be administered by the City's Department of Housing, which Department has been succeeded by the City's Department of Planning and Development ("DPD"); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to an ordinance approved by the City Council of the City (the "City Council") on August 2, 1995 and published in the Journal of Proceedings of the City Council for such date at pages 5261-5266 thereof (the "Original Ordinance"), the City made a loan of Multi-Program Funds on January 8, 1996 in the principal amount of $205,437, with an interest rate of zero (0%) percent per annum and a term not to exceed 22 years (the "Loan"), to three (3) individuals, Donna A. Kruel, Irene Kruel and Roger L. Kruel, jointly and severally (collectively, the "Original Borrower"); and

 

WHEREAS, the proceeds of the Loan were used to finance a portion of the costs of rehabilitation of a building located at 1826 S. Avers Avenue, Chicago (the "Property"), to provide six (6) units of affordable housing; and

 

WHEREAS, the Loan was evidenced by a note which was secured by, among other things, that certain Junior Mortgage, Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated as of January 8, 1996, made by the Original Borrower in favor of the City and recorded with the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, Illinois (the "Recorder's Office") on January 10, 1996 as document number 96026393 (the "Mortgage"), and that certain Regulatory Agreement dated as of January 8, 1996 between the City and the Original Borrower and recorded with the Recorder's Office on January 10, 1996 as document number 96026391 (the "Regulatory Agreement"); and

 

WHEREAS, the Mortgage is subordinate to a certain mortgage dated as of January 8, 1996 and recorded with the Recorder's Office on January 10, 1996 as document number 96026392 that secured a loan by Community Investment Corporation to the Original Borrower in the amount of $104,000 (the "Original Senior Loan"); and

 

WHEREAS, in 2007, Irene Kruel died, causing the Original Borrower to be comprised of Donna A. Kruel and Roger L. Kruel, jointly and severally; and

 

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to an ordinance approved by the City Council on February 13, 2013 and published in the Journal of Proceedings of the City Council for such date at pages 46145-46147 thereof (the "First Amending Ordinance"), the City approved a restructuring of the Loan in a manner that (1) would replace the Original Borrower with a limited liability company as successor borrower, (2) would not alter the principal balance of the Loan, (3) would not alter the interest rate of the Loan, (4) would not extend the maturity date of the Loan, and (5) would not alter the priority of the lien of the Mortgage (the "First Restructuring"); and

 

WHEREAS, since the date of the First Amending Ordinance, (1) the First Restructuring did not occur, (2) the Loan matured in 2016, with a then-outstanding principal balance of approximately $145,000, and said amount has not yet been repaid, (3) the Original Senior Loan matured in 2016 but has not been fully repaid by the Original Borrower, (4) the Property has developed additional rehabilitation needs, and (5) the Original Borrower assigned its ownership of the Property to K-FAM LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, the sole members of which are Donna A. Kruel and Roger L. Kruel (the "Successor Borrower"); and

 

WHEREAS, the Successor Borrower now desires to refinance the Original Senior Loan by entering into a new senior loan in a principal amount not to exceed $270,000 (the "New Senior Loan"), the proceeds of which will be used, among other things, to retire the Original Senior Loan and to rehabilitate the Property, and to execute a mortgage (the "New Senior Mortgage") in connection with the Property in favor of a new senior lender acceptable to the Authorized Officer (as hereinafter defined), and has requested that the City approve the proposed refinancing of the Original Senior Loan and a restructuring of the Loan; and

 

WHEREAS, DPD desires to approve a restructuring (the "Second Restructuring") of the Loan in a manner that (1) will assign the Loan note, the Mortgage, the Regulatory Agreement and other documents associated with the Loan to the Successor Borrower, (2) will not change the amount of the Loan, (3) will not change the interest rate of the Loan, (4) will extend the maturity date of the Loan to a term of 30 years or the maturity date of the New Senior Loan, whichever is longer, (5) will forgive all accrued default interest and loan-related penalties, if any, (6) will subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to the lien of the New Senior Mortgage, and (7) will extend the termination date of the Regulatory Agreement to a date that shall not exceed the maturity date of the Loan (collectively, the "Material Terms"); now, therefore,
