Grants a $1.7 million loan to St. Charles Town Company for costs related to the relocation of residents of the Shady Nook and Belmont Mobile Home Parks in Council District 3.       
Thank you, gentlemen. Lopez, can you please place Council Bill 376 on the floor for a vote? Thank you, Madam President. I move that council bill three 76/3 of 2015 be placed upon final, final consideration and do pass. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded. Comments by members of council. Councilwoman Fox. Thank you, Madam President. This is an ordinance that lends money to a developer for relocation costs of a project that's very important along Morrison Road. I approve of the project. I even approve of doing this relocation cost. But I am not willing to do is to lend more money to this specific developer. In a previous deal we had not only a financial deal with the developer, but there were two subsequent amendments to that deal, both of which were to the benefit of the developer, not the taxpayer. And so I am very picky about who I lend money to, and I'm going to say no today. Okay. Thank you, Councilman Lopez. Thank you, Madam President. I do have something to say about this council, bill. Yes? This is Saint Charles Holding Company as the developer of the site. Here's the problem. The problem is this site has been blighted for decades. And in this site, it's not like it's been empty. There have been folks who are living in these conditions that have been substandard and Denver and it's just not right. And we've talked about it for eight years. We looked at opportunities to what can we do to help improve the living conditions here for folks. And there was a lot of unanswered questions and a lot of people who how we had the ability to do it but are afraid to take the risk, afraid to do, afraid to come forward and basically not participate at all. That was true up into the point where Saint Charles Town Company and I think Charles Holding Company here said, you know, we'll do it. Will help will help not only improve the conditions here at this site by acquiring it, but will help trigger the Federal Relocation Act with the city. The city said, we will do this with you. There are folks who are living there who, because of this development, will be able to finally live anywhere else, be able to get benefits for it, relocation costs. And when all these units are built at 60%, am I going to be able to have first refusal, meaning they get the first choice to come back and this is how it should happen. And we can't rely just on VHA or some of the nonprofit folks who are already up. You know, they have their hands full. They don't have enough resources. They're begging for money. They're all fighting over the same pot of money, the same federal pot of money. It should we should actually be working with folks who are in the for profit development side that are willing to do this. And they've done it before on Alameda and Sheridan with those altos down. I mean, it's a very good project, filled a huge need in this city for affordable housing. That's what this does. And now affordable housing in the kind where you know that nobody takes care of and it's forgotten about. And when you complain, you either get kicked out or you just deal with it. Right. But this is the kind of housing these are the kind of units, units that will be maintained that are high quality standard of living, exactly what folks are needing and deserving in this neighborhood. And these are the folks that are willing to do the work. They've been doing the work with the community. It takes partnership from the city. This will help finalize those costs, help those folks find a place to live that way. They're not on the street while this develops or when they come back. I guarantee everybody is going to be standing there wanting to cut that ribbon. So that's what this is all about. And I urge my colleagues to support it. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Lopez.
