Glover, District V Supervisor Contact: Jim Kennedy, 925-335-7225 I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on the date shown. ATTESTED: March 15, 2011 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C.116 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation & Development Director Date:March 15, 2011 Contra Costa County Subject:Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds - Pinole Grove Senior Housing, Pinole Bonds; and RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D) 5) authorizing and directing any authorized officer of the County to do any and all things, take any and all actions, and execute and deliver any and all certificates, agreements, and other documents which the officer may deem necessary or advisable in order to effectuate the purposes of the Resolution. 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 provided for in the bond issue. The bonds will be solely secured by a pledge of revenues (rents, reserves, etc.) pledged under the bond documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the bonds. BACKGROUND: The recommended action is the adoption of a Resolution by the Board, as the legislative body of the County, authorizing the issuance of Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds which will be used to finance the costs of acquisition and rehabilitation of the Pinole Grove Senior Housing, a 70-unit multifamily rental housing development located at 800 John Street (APNs 401-186-035-2 and 401-186-035-3) in Pinole. The Bonds, when issued, will be used to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Pinole Grove Senior Housing by the ownership entity. The ownership entity will be a California Limited Partnership, the Managing General Partner of which will be BRIDGE Housing Ventures, Inc. (a local non-profit housing developer) or a related entity. The proposed financing would implement City of Pinole and County policies to preserve the supply of affordable housing. The City of Pinole is supportive of the acquisition and renovation of the Project. The main purpose of the proposed Resolution is to acknowledge that a public hearing has been held by the Deputy Director – Redevelopment and to meet other bond issuance requirements which are specified in Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. The recommended action of the Board is not the Bond Sale Resolution. The proposed bonds could not be issued until a separate resolution is adopted by the Board of Supervisors specifically authorizing the sale of bonds. Such a separate proposed resolution to authorize the sale of bonds would come back to the Board after receipt of an allocation from the State of California for Private Activity Bond Authority. An application for Private Activity Bond Authority will be submitted to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee in March of 2011. The expected timing for a Bond Sale Resolution would be in the summer of 2011. The proposed resolution would not relieve the Borrower from obtaining other required permits or approvals required by law, nor obligate the County to incur any obligation or provide financial assistance with respect to the Bonds or the Project. Annual expenses of the County related to the monitoring of the Regulatory Agreement are provided for in the bond issue. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Negative action would prevent the County from meeting the public approval requirement of the Internal Revenue Code for issuing Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, and prior actions of officers and agents of the County would not be confirmed and ratified. As a result, the Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds could not be issued and funds would not be available to refinance the Pinole Grove Senior Housing located at 800 John Street in Pinole.
