Streets parking structure as follows:

Bakersfield, California, June 19, 1989 - Page 2
On Wednesday, June 7, 1989, the Development
Committee was presented with a request from
Milton Younger and Curtis Darling to con-
sider Central District Development Agency
(CDDA) acceptance of a discount offer. As
background to this matter, in 1985 the CDDA
sold the 17th and "K" Street parking structure
to the above referenced individuals. The sale
price at that time was $850,000 with a $75,000
down payment and the balance due over the next
thirty years at ten percent interest. During
the first fifteen years the payment schedule
was based on a negative amortization.
Based on the purchaser's interest in cashing
out the promissory note, an analysis was made
of the present dollar value on the balance re-
maining, as calculated that amount is $992,000.
The purchaser has offered to cash out the pro-
missory note by September 1, 1989, for $850,000.
Should it require a longer period, the purchaser
agrees to continue with the current monthly
payment; and in addition, pay seven percent
interest on the $850,000 for each month past
September through December.
In order to preserve the discount option through
March 1, 1990, the purchaser further agrees to
pay a premium twelve percent interest for each
additional month past December 31 through March 1.
The Development Committee's recommendation is
to accept the purchaser's offer and direct the
Executive Director to execute the necessary
documents.
Agency Member Killmer amended the report by changing the
following in the second paragraph ...pay seven and one half per-
cent per annum .... instead of...pay seven percent interest ....
Upon a motion by Agency Member Killmer, Development
Committee Report No. 89-4 was accepted as amended, and the recom-
