Bragdon Director of Community Development DATE: April 27, 1993 SUBJECT: 1987 Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS (S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS Adopt resolution approving a residual asset purchase contract between the County and Magnus Capital Corporation relative to the 1987 Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds. FISCAL IMPACT The County would receive a residual asset cash payment upon completion of the proposed defeasance of the 1987 Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds. The magnitude of the cash residual is estimated at $500, 000. The proceeds of the cash residual must be used for affordable housing purposes. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On August 27, 1987, the County of Contra Costa issued its 1987 Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds. The principal amount of bonds issued was $35.92 million. The Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds are secured by mortgage backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) . Because of the GNMA securities, the bonds are rated AAA.

Because of a unique relationship that exists in the market today between the cost of federal securities and the value of GNMA securities, the County can realize an immediate cash return on its asset value. While the underlying security for the Home Mortgage Revenue Bonds will change, their rating would not. The federal securities purchased would be sufficient to retain the AAA rating. The actions provided for in the resolution are summarized in Appendix A. ATTACHMENT A ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN 1. Approve form and authorize execution of a residual asset purchase contract between the County of Contra Costa and Magnus Capital Corporation (purchaser) ; 2 . Appoint Arnelle & Hastie as special counsel and Litten Financial Consulting as financial advisor; and 3 .
