The terms of the amortization were to be negotiated between the City and County at the time of conversion.The Agreement included a provision to permit forgiveness of the loan in the event the City provided documentation approved by the County that the Marina would not reach a breakeven,point within'a reasonable period of time. According to information provided by the City,the Marina has never achieved a breakeven point.Over the last five years,the Marina received subsidies from the City averaging$300,000 per year in order to maintain operations, In a continuation of this trend, during FY 2000/01, the City will provide an additional $300,000 to subsidize operations. The City is currently in the process of renegotiating the terms of state bond loans on the project in an effort to reduce the annual subsidy requirements. In 1994,the City of Antioch provided$100,000 in funds to support acquisition of the Central County Emergency Homeless Shelter located in North Concord and requested that the County accept the contribution as partial repayment of the Marina loan.On December 13, 1994,the Board of Supervisors accepted the City's contribution as a partial loan payment(principal and accumulated interest),leaving a remaining principal balance of$107,000.The current balance of the Marina loan with accrued'interest is $128,400. Since 1994,the City has contributed an additional$88,500 for the rehabilitation of the Central County Emergency Shelter in North Concord and.$50,000 for the development of the Fast County Transitional Facility ,,for Homeless Families in Antioch (total of $138,500).. The City has requested that its contribution to the County homeless facilities be accepted by the Board as payment in full for the remaining balance of Marina Lean.The City's request is supported by the fact the Marina has never achieved a breakeven point and is unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future. kWMarina 1
