The agreement will bring to the CHIP Program 3-3/4% per annum financing which is 2-1/2% lower than what Balboa Bank is currently offering. The new agreement would augment rather than supercede the older agreement with Balboa Bank. The lenders have differing capabilities and restrictions. Used in concert, the two agreements will give the program and the homeowner greater flexibility in financing home repairs.

Form A-113 (Rev 5-75) ~i i 'til- .~ is BANKnFAMERICA CITY IMPROVEMENT AND RESTORATION PROGRAM (CIRP) SAN FRANCISCO HLAUOUA R7ERS PROPOSAL FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDS PURPOSE August, 1976 The purpose of the plan is to utilize funds received by the City from the federal government under the Community Development Act of 1974 in such a way as to provide below-market rate home improvement loans, principally to eligible owner-occupants and some owner non- occupants in designated areas of the City• GENERAL CONCEPT The City will refer and direct potential borrowers to a desig- nated community office of the Bank of America. The Bank shall perform its customary credit evaluation with respect to each applicant, make its judgment with respect to the credit-worthiness of each applicant, and inform a designated representative of the City of such judgment. If the City desires that the loan should be made, the Bank shall make the loan to the applicant, taking into account the pledged deposit (described below) to support the loan. Each loan made by the Sank will be supported by a non-interest bearing deposit account pledged to the Bank by the City. The deposit will be made on a loan-by-loan basis when such loan is granted. Because the account will be non-interest bearing, the Bank will lower its prevailing interest rate for the rehabilitation Loan made under this program. The non-interest bearing deposit relieves the Bank of all but 3% of its cost of funds for the amount of the loan granted. RANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST ANO SAVINGS ASSOCIATION • ROX 37000 • SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 94137 -2- The 3% cost o'f funds represents the Federal Reserve requirement relative to public agency deposits. The necessary deposit must be made by the City on or before the date the loan proceeds are advanced by the Bank. The Bank will be authorized in advance to debit the account for the then earned and unpaid interest and principal on all loans which remain in default Eor a period of 90 days. The Sank will follow its normal collection procedure in servicing the loans, but shall not service after assigning Loans to the City. If requested, the Bank shall accept such loans for collection purposes only, pursuant to the Bank's then current installment collection (IC Account) procedures. Concurrently, the Bank will assign without recourse or warranty the note and any security therefore to the City. TERMS: Loan Interest Rates: The effective rate to the borrower can be as low as 3.75% when supported by a 100% deposit from the City. This interest rate is the annual percentage rate per annum, payable monthly. Loan Origination Fees: The Bank waives the following loan origination fees which are normally the applicant's expense: Lot Book Report Notarization Appraisal Recording of Deed of Truat -3- Maturities: Fully amortized in equal monthly payments not to exceed 15 years. As the principal amount of the debt is reduced, the Bank will return the surplus portion of the supporting deposit on a monthly basis. Security: A Deed of Trust on the real property being improved. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS If City desires, the bank also offer to control the disbursement of funds while the home is being remodeled. Agreement "A" Bank disburses Loan funds to borrower the day the Loan is made. Agreement "B" Bank retains and disburses loan funds (in maximum 4 draws) during the construction period. The construction loan is then converted to an installment basis. IMPI.EMENTATI ON The Bank and the City will enter into a written agreement setting forth this proposal, together with such details as may be agreed upon between the parties and their counsel, and shall include as conditions precedent the receipt by the Bank of opinions of counsel for the City that the agreement does not conflict with any laws or regulations applic- able to community development funds. This proposal is not intended to be the exclusive method by which the City utilizes its community development funds. This agreement would be reviewed by both parties after one year, and could be altered or terminated at that time.
