Special Conditions
City and ICCA agree:
1. Services to be Provided. ICCA agrees to provide those services described on the
attached Exhibit A (the "work").
2. Consideration. The consideration which City shall grant to ICCA for the work,
including any expenses incurred by ICCA in performing the work, shall be $105,000,
payable to C.E.R.V.S. and Crater Title Insurance Company at closing of the property
purchase. Closing shall occur no later than December 29, 1995. The obligations of
ICCA under this agreement shall be secured by a trust deed on the property. City
agrees to release the property from the trust deed after the expiration of ten years
from the date of this agreement.
3. Conditions of Default. The CDBG benefit of this acquisition grant will be realized
only after ten years of public service to very low and lower income Ashland residents
at a level of 51% of all clients served at the property. It is the City's intention that the
full public benefit of this project inure to ICCA's clients, or in the alternative, that City
recover the monetary equivalent of any unrealized public benefit as follows:
3.1. If ICCA should sell the property acquired with CDBG funds, or for any
reason discontinue using the property for the client services, or reduces service from
the required 51% very low and lower income Ashland residents level, which it currently
delivers, prior to the 10 years from the completion date, ICCA will be obligated to
repay CDBG grant funds to City, upon demand, that percentage of the grant equal to
the percentage of time then remaining until the expiration of 10 years from the
completion of the work. (For example, if ICCA discontinues service and the property is
PAGE i-GRANT AGREEMENT (p:~g~xi¢~.~)
sold after one year, ICCA shall repay 90% of the grant funds to City. Payment shall be
made by ICCA within 90 days of the date ICCA sells the property or otherwise
discontinues its use for the following public services:
3.1.1. Crisis, access, and referral services, including case management,
counseling, and assisting clients to access other needed social services;
3.1.2. Showers and laundry facilities provided in-house; and
3.1.3. Vouchers for prescriptions, transportation, camping, and motel
stays.
3.2. If within the 10 year period, ICCA moves to a new location where it
continues to deliver client services similar to those it now provides, City may, at its
sole option, find the replacement facility a satisfactory replacement and waive the
reimbursement payment required by paragraph 3.1.
3.3. ICCA may not change the use or planned use of any such property unless
ICCA provides affected citizens with reasonable notice of, and opportunity to comment
on, any such proposed change, and either:
3.3.1. The new use of such property qualifies as meeting one of the
national objectives and is not a building for the general conduct of government
or;
3.3.2. If ICCA determines, after consultation with affected citizens, that it
is necessary or appropriate to change the use of the property to a use which
does not qualify under paragraph 3.3.1, it may retain or dispose of the property
for such use if City is reimbursed in the amount of the current fair market value
of the property less any portion attributable to expenditures of non-grant funds
for acquisition of, and improvement to, the property.
4. Option to Purchase. In consideration of the award of this grant, ICCA grants to City
an option to purchase the property acquired with these grant proceeds. Such an
option to purchase shall give City an exclusive right to purchase the property for the
price and on the terms set forth in this agreement, if the property is offered for sale or
disposition.
4.1. This option to purchase may be exercised by City giving written notice to
ICCA of the exercise of the option within 30 days of written notice to City of ICCA's
intention to sell the property. The purchase price shall be fair market value of the
property as determined by a qualified appraiser selected by ICCA and City minus the
amount of CDBG money paid to ICCA for purchase of the subject property as of the
date of the exercise of the option.
4.2. Closing shall occur within 30 days after determination of the purchase
price. Each party shall pay one-half of the closing costs. At closing, ICCA shall convey
the subject property to City by statutory warranty deed, free and clear of all liens and
