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. The bonds will be solely secured by revenues (e.g. rents, reserves, etc.) pledged under the bond documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the bonds. County staff is recommending that this project be allocated $1.3 million in County HOME Investment Partnerships Act funds and $250,000 from the Summer Lake trust account on separate Board actions being considered at the February 26, 2013 Board of Supervisors meeting.

ATTESTED: February 26, 2013 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C. 89 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation & Development Date:February 26, 2013 Contra Costa County Subject:Inducement Action for Multifamily Project - Oak Ridge, Oakley BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) operates a multifamily mortgage revenue bond financing program. The purpose of the program is to increase or preserve the supply of affordable rental housing available to lower income households. The County program may be undertaken within the unincorporated County and within the cities. Corporation for Better Housing has requested to participate in the County’s multifamily mortgage revenue bond financing program. They propose to construct Oak Ridge Family apartments, a 30-unit multifamily rental housing project located at 73 Carol Lane in the City of Oakley. The proposed development meets the eligibility criteria for bond financing, and the proposed plan of finance appears to be consistent with County policy for this program. The prospective owner of the project will be a limited partnership between Corporation for Better Housing, or one of its affiliates, as managing general partner, and a to-be-named tax credit investor as a limited partner. A description of the project can be found in Exhibit A. A requirement of federal tax law is that the prospective financing be subject to a conditional statement of intent to issue bonds, i.e. an inducement resolution must be adopted by the Board of Supervisors. The inducement action does not obligate the County or the owner without future discretionary actions of the Board of Supervisors. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without the Inducement Resolution, Corporation for Better Housing will not be able to commence with the process of applying to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee for an allocation of multifamily mortgage revenue bond authority through the County in an amount not to exceed $8 million. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
