EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed action provides for the substitution of trustee and full reconveyance of the rental rehabilitation loan lien that is in place on 2412 Marshallfield Lane. As part of the Deferred Loan Program Agreement, the City recorded a lien on the property until the home repair loan was repaid. On May 12, 2025, the City received a check, drawn by SoCal Title Company, in the amount of $7,621.60 to pay the outstanding Deferred Payment Loan (Instrument No. 02-3173451) note in full. Accordingly, the City may proceed with release of the property lien.

This loan was made possible through the City's Deferred Payment Loan Program, which provided low-interest home improvement loans for qualifying low-income Redondo Beach homeowners. The loan could be used to pay for roofing repairs, plumbing and electrical work, and bathroom remodeling. In this case, the annual interest rate was 4% per year for ten years. The Deferred Payment Loan resulted in a lien on the property that was to be removed from the property title once the loan was paid in full.

The owners terminated the contract with the construction company before the work was fully completed, and as a result, the contract was reduced to $5,000 to reflect the portion of work that had been completed. A new Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust was signed on March 12, 2003, for a $5,444 loan, which included the work that was completed at the house and the document recording fee of $444.
