DATE: September 25, 2001
SUBJECT: Inducement Action for Multifamily Projects
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
ADOPT resolution conditionally providing for the issuance of revenue. bonds to finance
multifamily rental housing developments to be owned by the parties listed as the ownership
entity of Exhibit A attached.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. In the event that the bonds are issued, the County is reimbursed for costs incurred in
the issuance process. Annual expenses for monitoring of Regulatory Agreement provisions
are accommodated in the bond issue. In the event that no bond issue occurs, the County has
already been paid in "Inducement Fee" to offset expenses.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The owners of prospective multifamily rental housing developments desire to be included in a
future multifamily revenue bond financing program. In order to provide financing eligibility for
costs incurred the development must be induced, i.e., a conditional statement of intent by the
Board of Supervisors must be adopted. The inducement action does not obligate the County
or the owner without future discretionary actions.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
RE: Preliminary Agreements -
Multi-Family Mortgage Revenue Bond Financing
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth certain terms and conditions under which the County
of Contra Costa, a legal subdivision and body corporate and politic of the State of California (the
"County"), will agree to assist in the financing of a housing project for persons of low income (the
"Project")for (the "Owner") or for a related entity,
or for a successor to the interests thereof approved by the County, by issuing bonds (the "Bonds"),
subject to the conditions set forth herein and in Resolution No. of the County.
In consideration of the County's expression of willingness to provide such financing, the
Owner agrees as follows:
1. The Owner agrees to pay, or to make arrangements for persons other than the County
to pay, all costs involved in the issuance of the Bonds, including by way of example and not
limitation, fees and disbursements of bond counsel, the County, underwriters, or financing advisors
and any other experts engaged by the Owner or by the County in connection with the issuance of the
Bonds, bond printing and other printing costs, publication costs and costs incurred in order to obtain
a rating for the Bonds. Such costs may be paid from proceeds of sale of the Bonds. In the event that
the Bonds are not issued for any reasons, the Owner agrees to pay all of such costs and assume the
County's obligations, if any, for payment of such costs. Pursuant thereto, the Owner agrees to pay
a fee upon demand of the County in an amount equal to the lesser of 1/10 of one percent of the
amount of the proposed Bond issue or $2,000, as consideration of the County conditionally
expressing its intent to issue Bonds for the Project. Any amount.so paid is to be credited toward the
County's cost of issuance.
2. The Owner agrees to pay the cost of preparation of any studies, reports or other
documents necessary to be prepared by or for the County to comply with the California
Environmental Quality Act.
3. The Owner agrees to pay any and all costs incurred by the County in connection with
any legal action challenging the issuance or validity of the Bonds or use of the proceeds thereof, or
challenging proceedings or determinations by the County under the California Environmental quality
Act.
The County agrees to proceed, and to direct bond counsel to proceed, with the planning and
preparation of the necessary proceedings for the offering of the bonds for sale to.finance the Project.
The Owner understands that this Agreement does not exempt it from any requirements of the County
or any department or agency thereof or other governmental body that would apply in the absence of
the proposed Bond financing, and compliance with such requirements is an expressed precondition
to the issuance of the Bonds by the County.
q '� Gorr//yyo
The Owner further understands and agrees that the issuance of any Bonds by the County is
contingent upon the County being satisfied with all of the terms and conditions of the Bonds and of
the issuance thereof and that such issuance is in the best interest of the County, and that the County
shall not be liable to the Owner or to any other person if the County shall determine for any reason
not to issue the Bonds.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on
199_.
