II. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On February 24, 1987 the Board of Supervisors referred to this office for implementation the matter of a ballot measure and related steps to establish-a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District to finance infrastructure in the Oakley area.

Based on their capacity to perform the required work within the tight constraints of the schedule it is recommended that the firm of Angus McDonald & Associates be retained as Special Tax Consultant and that Melody Howe Weintraub be retained as Campaign Consultant. III. FINANCIAL IMPACT No general fund monies are involved. Revenue to cover the cost of retaining said consultants is to be in the form of an advance from the housing trust funds. Said trust funds were obtained in the process of issuing and administering the County' s mortgage revenue bond programs for affordable housing. The creation of a Community Facilities District will enhance the opportunity for affordable housing in the Oakley area. It is intended that a cost-sharing plan among the infrastructure agencies be developed, however the current time schedule does not allow for such a plan to be in place prior to proceeding. Further, if a successful election occurs, the costs of forming the district would be reimbursable from the district tax revenues or a subsequent bond sale.
