Martinez, Executive Director cc: SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO.3690 ACCEPTING A LOAN OF$195,000 FROM THE COUNTY HOUSING BOND TRUST FUNDS FOR THE CASA DEL RIO SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY LOAN DOCUMENTS I. RECOMMENDED ACTION ADOPTION of Resolution No.3670 ACCEPTING a loan of$195,000 from the Contra Costa County Housing Bond Trust Funds for the Casa del Rio Senior Housing Development in Antioch and AUTHORIZING the Executive Director to execute documents necessary to secure the loan from the County. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Loan funds will be provided from the Contra Costa County Housing Bond Trust Funds. The loan will be repaid from the annual project cash flow within the first live years. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND The Housing Authority is currently building 82 units of very low income senior housing at the Casa del Rio Senior Housing Development in Antioch,CA. The existing funding for this$7 million project comes from the California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA),State Rental Housing Construction Program (RHCP),Antioch Development Agency (ADA), Housing Authority, and Bank of America Community Development Bank sources. Due to unanticipated cost overruns, there is now a $195,000 funding gap. The majority of these overruns are due to unforseen construction costs as well as to costs related to saving the Eucalyptus tree. In order to continue the current funding and to complete the construction, the Housing Authority needs to be able to cover these cost overruns by the end of August 1993. The Housing Authority requested that the County provide a short-term loan from the Housing Bond Trust Funds to cover this funding gap. Due to an increase in the RHCP approved rents and a reduction in the interest rate for the CHFA loan, there will be sufficient cash flow to enable the Authority to repay the loan over the first rive years the project is in operation. The proposed loan terms include: a. Total repayment by July 1999, a five year term; b. Zero interest (001o) charged if repaid within the five year term; C. Subordination of the County loan to CHFA, RHCP, City and Bank of America financing; and d. Repayment commencing in July 1994,with a lump-sum payment of$115,000,with full payment out of project cash flow as soon as possible thereafter, but not later than July of 1999.

ATIUSIED August 17, 1993 Phil Batchelor,Clerk of the Boanl of Commissioners BY :7 ,DEPUTY In July 1994,the Antioch Development Agency(ADA)will repay the Authority$115,000 for the Authority's short term loan to the ADA. At that time, the Authority will rollover that amount to the County for the initial lump-sum payment on its loan. The remainder of the County loan will be repaid from the additional cash flow described above. The Housing Authority will be reimbursed for the rolled over amount from the cash flow over the first five years of project operation. At its regular meeting on August 16, 1993, the Advisory Housing Commission recommended adoption of Resolution No.3690 accepting the loan and authorizing the Executive Director to execute all necessary loan documents to secure this loan from the County Housing Bond Trust Funds. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION; Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve Resolution 3690 accepting the loan and authorizing the Executive Director to execute all necessary loan documents,the Housing Authority will not be able to complete the construction of Casa del Rio. No other short term funding was available which was acceptable to the State RHCP program. mirb"195.ash THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA RESOLUTION NO. 3690 RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A $195, 000 LOAN.
