Beginning March 1, 2001, the offset will decrease to SO cents on the dollar until March 1, 2004. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Old Lodi Union High School Site Foundation has partnered with the City to build a $10 million Performing Arts and Conference Center at Hutchins Street Square. The Foundation relies on donations and fund-raisers to generate revenues for repayment to the City. To encourage the Foundation to pay off the loan in a timely fashion, staff is recommending that the Council approve the offsetting dollars as noted in the Recommended Action. The Foundation is not required to pay interest on the outstanding debt, so it is therefore advantageous to the City to collect present day dollars whose value will be greater than dollars collected in the future. The Foundation, with this new marketing tool of a "dollar -for -a -dollar" should be extra motivation to conduct a fundraising campaign soliciting contributions for the loan repayment.
