(George H. Waters Nutrition Center)
THIS NUTRITION CENTER FUNDING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is dated as of the 5411
day of March , 2019, by and between the City of National City ("City") and the Community
Development Commission -Housing Authority of the City of National City ("Housing Authority").
RECITALS
A. Housing Authority is the fee title owner of that certain real property located at 1317 D
Avenue and 1415 D Avenue in the City of National City, which is more commonly known and
referred to as the Kimball and Morgan Towers.
B. Since 1979 the City has operated, or caused to be operated, the George H. Waters
Nutrition Center ("Nutrition Center") at the Kimball and Morgan Towers.
C. The Kimball and Morgan Towers are "housing projects" as defined in California
Health and Safety Code Section 34212. California Health and Safety Code Section 34212 defines
housing project to include "real or personal property for necessary, convenient or desirable
appurtenances, streets, sewers, water service, parks, site preparation, gardening, administrative,
community, health, recreational, educational, welfare or other purposes." The Nutrition Center
provides important and necessary community, health, recreational educational, welfare and other
benefits to low income residents of the Kimball and Morgan Towers housing projects and other low
income persons in the City of National City. As such, the Nutrition Center is a portion of the
housing project for purposes of California Health and Safety Code Section 34212.
D. The Housing Authority is ground leasing the Kimball and Morgan Towers to two (2)
affordable housing project developer/operators, who are required to rehabilitate the Kimball and
Morgan Towers and operate the Kimball and Morgan Towers as low income affordable housing
projects. A portion of the consideration payable by the Kimball and Morgan Towers
developer/operators is in the form of seller carryback notes ("Kimball and Morgan Notes").
E. The Housing Authority and the City believe it will be beneficial to the health and
welfare of the community and the citizens of the City of National City for the Nutrition Center to
continue to be operated by the City for the benefit of its low income residents, rather than having the
Nutrition Center run by private interests. Therefore, as a material consideration for the Housing
Authority's entry into the ground leases for the Kimball and Morgan Towers, the Housing Authority
is requiring the ground lessee of the Morgan Tower (the building in which the Nutrition Center is
located) to enter into a 99 year lease with the City with respect to the Nutrition Center with an annual
rent of $1.00.
F. California Health and Safety Code Section 34312 empowers the Housing Authority to
use its funds to operate housing projects. As part of the foregoing transaction and in lieu of having
the ground lessee of the Morgan Tower operate and pay for the Nutrition Center, the Housing
Authority has agreed to pay to the City a portion of the consideration received annually by the
1
Housing Authority from the Kimball and Morgan Notes. Which the City shall use to fund operation
of the Nutrition Center (which is part of a housing project as defined in the California Health and
Safety Code) in furtherance of the City's and the Housing Authority's goal of improving the health
and welfare of the community and the citizens of the City of National City.

covenants set forth below, the City and the Housing Authority agree, promise and declare as follows:
1. Annual Payments. The Housing Authority shall make fifty-five (55) annual payments to the
City. The first such payment shall be in the amount of $475,000.00, and further payments shall be

Kimball and Morgan Notes. The first annual payment shall be due and payable by the Housing
Authority to the City ten (10) business days after receiving such annual payments from the Kimball
and Morgan Towers ground lessees.
2. Use of Funds. The City shall use the funds received by the City pursuant to Section 1, above,
solely for the purpose of funding operation of the Nutrition Center (which is part of a housing project
as defined in the California Health and Safety Code). No portion of such funds shall be used for any
purpose other than funding operation of the Nutrition Center without the express written consent of
the Housing Authority, which consent shall be granted only in the event that the use of those funds
by the City is allowed under the Housing Authorities Law, Health and Safety Code Section 34200, et
seq.

STAFF REPORT
March 5, 2019
Agenda Item
Resolution of the Community Development Commission -Housing Authority of the City of
National City authorizing the Executive Director to execute a Nutrition Center Funding
Agreement with the City of National City for the purpose of funding the operation of the
George H. Waters Nutrition Center, located at 1415 "D" Avenue in National City, in the
amount of $475,000 for the first annual payment and increased by 3.5% each year
thereafter for a total of fifty-five (55) years.
Background
The George H. Waters Senior Nutrition Center ("Nutrition Center") was built in conjunction
with Morgan Senior Tower and has been operated by the City of National City ("City")
since 1978. The goals of the Nutrition Center are to provide good nutrition, reduce
isolation, and provide sound education and information to meet the needs of older adults,
as well as providing the availability of appropriate exercise classes to enable the target
population to maintain good health. The Nutrition Center provides National City's elderly
population with information about the benefits of good nutrition and exercise as a way to
avoid lengthy illnesses and nursing home confinement. The Nutrition Center serves over
40,000 congregate meals and makes over 17,000 meal deliveries to seniors each year.
The Nutrition Center is funded in part by the City of National City, program donations and
a grant through the federal Older American Act Title III. This federal grant is administered
by both State of California and County of San Diego and is regulated by the California
Department of Agriculture.
Comprehensive Renovation of the Nutrition Center
Since the Nutrition Center had not undergone renovations since it was placed in service
and the facility is well overdue for rehabilitation, the Community Development
Commission -Housing Authority of the City of National City ("Housing Authority") included
the Nutrition Center in the Kimball and Morgan Towers ("Towers") Rehabilitation and
Recapitalization Project ("Project") approved through a Development and Disposition
Agreement ("DDA") on June 19, 2018 by Housing Authority Resolution 2018-66 to ensure
full rehabilitation and financial sustainability of the Nutrition Center. As part of the Project,
the Project developer/operators of the Towers will provide for a comprehensive
rehabilitation and modernization of the Nutrition Center.
1
Attachment No. 1
Nutrition Center Lease Agreement at $1.00 per year
As a material consideration for the Housing Authority's entry into the ground leases for
the Towers as required by the Project's DDA, the Housing Authority is requiring the
ground lessee of the Morgan Tower (the building in which the Nutrition Center is located)
to enter into a 99 year Lease ("Lease") with the City with respect to the Nutrition Center
with an annual rent of $1.00 so that the City may continue to operate the Nutrition Center.
The Lease is a "Triple Net Lease" pursuant to which City shall pay (in addition to Rent)
its own utilities, janitorial, trash removal, repairs, maintenance, and other operating
expenses directly relating to the use of the Nutrition Center.
Annual Payments to the City for Operation of the Nutrition Center
Pursuant to the Project DDA, the Housing Authority is ground leasing the Towers to two
(2) affordable housing project developer/operators, who are required to rehabilitate the
Towers and operate them as low income affordable housing projects. A portion of the
consideration payable by Towers developer/operators is in the form of seller carryback
notes ("Kimball and Morgan Notes").
California Health and Safety Code Section 34312 empowers the Housing Authority to use
its funds to operate housing projects. As part of the foregoing transaction and in lieu of
having the ground lessee of the Morgan Tower operate and pay for the Nutrition Center,
the Housing Authority has agreed to pay to the City a portion of the consideration received
annually by the Housing Authority from annual loan payments received through the
Kimball and Morgan Notes. The City would use said portion of funds received by the
Housing Authority to operate the Nutrition Center (which is part of a housing project as
defined in the California Health and Safety Code) in furtherance of the City's and the
Housing Authority's goal of improving the health and welfare of the community and the
citizens of the City of National City.
Under a Nutrition Center Funding Agreement (Attachment No. 2 of this Staff Report), the
City would receive fifty-five (55) annual payments from the Housing Authority for the
operation of the Nutrition Center. The first such payment shall be in the amount of
$475,000.00, and further payments shall be increased by 3.5% each year thereafter.
Such payments shall be made from the proceeds of the Kimball and Morgan Notes. The
City shall use the funds received by the City from the Housing Authority solely for the
purpose of funding operation of the Nutrition Center (which is part of a housing project as
defined in the California Health and Safety Code). No portion of such funds shall be used
for any purpose other than funding operation of the Nutrition Center without the express
written consent of the Housing Authority, which consent shall be granted only in the event
that the use of those funds by the City is allowed under the Housing Authorities Law,
Health and Safety Code Section 34200, et seq.

Attachment No. 1
Financial Statement and Staff Recommendation
As part of the Kimball and Morgan Towers Rehabilitation and Recapitalization Project the
City's Nutrition Center will receive a comprehensive rehabilitation and modernization
without any out-of-pocket contribution from the City or the Housing Authority. The first
annual payment of $475,000 shall be due and payable by the Housing Authority to the
City ten (10) business days after receiving such annual payments from the Kimball and
Morgan Towers developers at closing. The first payment will be made to the City in early
April 2019. The annual payment represents a new revenue source to the Nutrition Center
Fund. This new revenue source offsets the operating support that the City's General Fund
has provided to the Nutrition Center. In anticipation of the receipt of this revenue source
the operating support previously provided from the General Fund was not included in the
Fiscal Year 2019 City budget. City staff recommends that the Community Development
Commission -Housing Authority of City of National City authorize the Executive Director
to execute attached Nutrition Center Funding Agreement at the close of escrow for the
Project.
