Subject: Approval of Fidelity Mortgage Investors
as a Secured Lender on Balboa Bay Club
Leasehold Property
On December 15, 1971, the City Council consented to the assign-
ment of the Balboa Bay Club's lease and improvements located
on the leased property to U. S. Financial Corporation as secu-
rity for refinancing the Club for the purpose of paying off
existing debts and to expand the Club facilities.
The terms of the Consent Document approved U. S. Financial
Corporation or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof as lender,
or "such other corporation, persons or entities as may be
subsequently specifically approved by the City of Newport
Beach."
Pursuant to that Consent Document, a portion of the Balboa Bay
Club lease was assigned to U. S. Financial to secure a loan of
$6,650,000.00. As part of that original refinancing arrange -
ment,.the Balboa Bay Club now wishes to assign the remaining
portion of their leasehold estate to Fidelity Mortgate Inves-
tors as security for an additional loan of $4,594,000.00.
Because Fidelity Mortgage Investors is not an affiliate or
subsidiary of U. S. Financial, prior approval of the City
Council is required pursuant to terms of the original Consent
Document.
I have prepared an appropriate resolution which if adopted would
provide the necessary City approval of Fidelity Mortgage Inves-
tors as a secured lender on the Balboa Bay Club leasehold
property.

Re: Approval of Fidelity Mortgage Investors as a

Dear Mr. O'Neil:

In December of 1971 the City by resolution and consent
to assignment, approved the sale or hypothecation of the Balboa
Bay Club's leasehold estate through deed of trust and /or sale -
leaseback in transactions not to exceed an aggregate total of
$13,200,000.
The consent to assignment, a copy of which is enclosed,
approved U. S. Financial Corporation or an affiliate or subsidiary
thereof as lender, or "such other corporation, persons or entities
as may be subsequently specifically approved by the City of
Newport Beach."
As you will recall, pursuant to that consent an interim
wrap- around loan in the amount of $6,650,000 was made on the
Terrace Apartments portion of the Bay Club property. I have
enclosed herewith a copy of a letter dated March 2, 1972 from
Mr. R. S. Walter of U.S. Financial to you more fully describing
that transaction.
Now, as a subsequent step in the program of refinancing,
the Bay Club intends to obtain an interim wrap - around mortgage
loan on the other portion of the Bay Club property, i.e., the
portion which is subject to the first deed of trust in favor of
Great Western Savings. This loan is in the amount of $4,594,00.0..
Of this $2,145,000 will be reserved to cover the underlying debt
to Great Western -Savings & Loan and of the balance, a portion of
the proceeds will be used to serve as construction financing for
the Guest House addition which has been thus far financed out of
the Bay Club's own working capital reserves.

As you will note, the combined total of the wrap - around
mortgages to U.S.F. Investors and Fidelity Mortgage Investors,
including the underlying debt to Union Bank and Great Western
Savings & Loan Association, respectively, totals $11,244,000:
This.is still well within the $13,20.0,.000 anticipated by the
City's original consent authority. As I mentioned, these are
both interim steps and will be later replaced with more permanent
financing through new loan and /or sale - leaseback transactions.
I have enclosed for your review and information a copy
of the Fidelity Mortgage Investors mortgage loan commitment
for Loan No. 73 -549.
The proposed lender, Fidelity Mortgage Investors, is
a real estate investment trust which is publicly held and traded
on both the New York and Pacific Coast Stock Exchanges. As you
know, both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York
Stock Exchange review the character and reputation of the officers
and directors of.publicly held companies so listed. Should you
desire any additional information, please let me know and I will
furnish it to you.
All of the requirements and conditions contained in the
original consent will, of course, again be complied with and I
will furnish you with copies of all the final loan documents.
I will plan to attend the Council Meeting of February 12th to
answer any questions which the Council may have concerning this
matter, should the consent of the City Council be necessary..
Very truly yours,
O'Keefe, Recht & Griepp,
