Re: Amendment to Petition for Extension of Time
Dear Mayor, Council Members and City Manager:
Previously Spanish Inn filed a Petition to extend two months time to complete our hotel
project. That petition is scheduled for hearing on your January 5, 2011 calendar and we
appreciate the Council's consideration. This letter is intended to serve as an
amendment to that petition.
As we pointed out in my original petition, our lender, Nara Bank, agreed to allow
Spanish Inn to use the $250,000 City's loan to run the hotel business upon completion.
However, we are requesting that the City Council release the $250,000 loan portion of
that$500,000 City's grant/loan in January 2011 and before issuance of the Certificate.
Acceleration of the distribution of the funds is necessary in order to ensure a successful
opening of the hotel. Because of additional works and expenses about which we
discussed in the original petition, the money available for items such as marketing,
advertising, networking, kitchen equipments, "grand opening" expenses, and other
related costs have been diverted to completion of the actual construction. As we
pointed out, the increase in these expenditures was not due to any dereliction on our
part. We therefore, respectfully suggest that this latest request is appropriate and will,
ultimately, benefit the City as well as Spanish Inn.
Once more, we thank you for your patience, concern and consideration throughout this
process. We promise that both the confidence and funding by the Council will be
rewarded.
Very truly yours,
_-�
Nejat Kohan
Spanish Inn, Inc.
