The ownership entity is San Pablo Senior Associates II, a California Limited Partnership., the Managing General Partner of whom is Ecumenical Association for Housing, a San Rafael based non-profit housing developer. The City of San Pablo is supportive of the acquisition and renovation of Casa Adobe. The proposed financing would implement policy of the City and the County to preserve the supply of affordable housing. The site is near transportation, retail services, and educational facilities. The site is approximately 1-acre. San Pablo City Hall is across the street. The site abuts San Pablo Creek. An application for Private Activity Bond Authority is to be submitted to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee in the summer of 2008. The recommended action is the adoption of a Resolution by the Board, as the legislative body of the County, authorizing the issuance of bonds. The Board's action acknowledges that a public hearing has been held by the Deputy Director—Redevelopment as required by Section 147(f)of the Internal Revenue Code. The recommended action of the Board is not the Bond Sale Resolution. Such actions would come back to the Board after receipt of an allocation from the State for Private Activity Bond Authority. Expected timing for a Bond Sale Resolution would be in September, 2008.
