completed and the permanent financing is needed. The recommended action will
authorize issuance of new bonds the proceeds of which will be used to retire the interim
financing and fund the construction permanent mortgage of the facility.
Cypress Meadows is a 110 unit senior assisted living project located at the northwest
corner of Lone Tree Way in the Contra Costa Canal in the City of Antioch. The site is
across the street from Delta Memorial Hospital. The proposed project',will include dining
facilities, recreational facilities, a beauty and barber shop, and a variety of other on-site
facilities and services. Twenty percent of the units (22 units) will be reserved for
occupancy by very low income senior households. Because the facility provides board
and care services, the Regulatory Agreement specifies an affordablerent and care rate
that would be affordable to seniors earning 50% of median income or less. The City of
Antioch is fully supportive of this financing. The developer of the project is Skyline Crest
Enterprises, LLC, a California corporation which is wholly owned by Dr. Vincent Malfitano.
The bonds to be issued will finance the construction and provide the permanent financing
for the project. The bonds will be secured by a pledge of rents, reserve accounts, and
guarantees of the project owner and the project operator. Because the bands will not carry
a credit enhancement, they will be subject to the County's guidelines for the issuance of
unrated bonds. These guidelines require that the financing be structured so that only
sophisticated investors who have done extensive due diligence and are capable of
assessing the risks inherent in the investment are able to purchase the bonds. The
financing structure will require bond denominations that are not less than one million
dollars ($1,000,000). Purchasers will be required to execute a "Sophisticated investor"
letter indicating that they have undertaken due diligence an accept any risks associated
with the bonds and the project being financed. In addition, the guidelines provide for a
third party assessment of the financial feasibility of the project. The firm of Druker, Rahl
& Fein from Princeton, New Jersey has undertaken a financial feasibility study as part of
the structuring of this issue. This financial feasibility information is being provided to the
prospective purchasers of the bonds. The bonds are to be issued in two series: a 1998
series E, which consists of$12,765,000 of tax exempt bonds; and a 1998 series F, which
consists of up to $3.0 million of taxable bonds.
The underwriter for this transaction is the GMS Group. This underwriter has had extensive
experience in structuring, marketing and selling unrated securities for senior living facilities
comparable to the Cypress Meadows project.
The bond sale resolution authorizes a number of actions, a summary of which are provided
as Attachment B.

BACKr2BOUNQ/REASONS FOR RE7 MENUAT=. INNS
On March 17, 1998 the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the sale of
multi-family housing revenue bonds for the Cypress Meadows Senior Apartments in Antioch
(Attachment A). Since that time, the sale has been delayed due to unexpected construction
cost overruns and changes to the market feasibility study for the project, necessitating a_
redesign of the proposed facility. In order to allow time for the redesign to be completed
and the permanent financing previously approved by the Board of Supervisors to be
marketed,County consultants have prepared documents necessary to complete an interim
financing for the project necessary to be issued to satisfy State board allocation issuance
deadlines. The attached resolution authorizes the interim financing and the completion,
as soon as practicable of the permanent financing which will be used to retire the interim
financing and otherwise finance the construction of the Project.
