FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund. At the closing for the notes, the County is reimbursed for costs incurred in the issuance process. Annual expenses for monitoring of Regulatory Agreement provisions ensuring units in the Development will be rented to low income households will be reimbursed through issuer fees established in the documents for the notes. The notes will be solely secured by and payable from revenues (e.g. Development rents, reserves, etc.) pledged under the note documents. No County funds are pledged to secure the notes.

BACKGROUND:

The recommended action is the adoption of Resolution 2018/512 by the Board of Supervisors, as the legislative body of the County, authorizing the issuance of multifamily housing revenue notes, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the development of Bay Point Family Apartments, an 193-unit residential housing development located at the Northeast corner of the intersection of Port Chicago Highway and Willow Pass Road in Bay Point (the “Development”).  
  
The ownership entity for the development will be Bay Point Family Apartments, L.P. (the "Borrower"), a California limited partnership sponsored by Meta Housing Corporation, an experienced for-profit developer.   
  
Conservation and Development staff held a noticed public hearing on July 9, 2018 to permit interested parties to comment on the proposed financing and the Development. No comments were received from the public. The Board adopted Resolution No. 2018/432 on July 10, 2018 to authorize proceeding with the issuance of bonds for the Development pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code and the submittal of an application by the County for tax-exempt private activity bond authority from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. On September 19, 2018, the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee awarded the County authority to issue bonds in a maximum principal amount of $67,000,000 through Resolution No. 18-101.  
  
The structure of the bonds will be two series of notes (the term “note” is interchangeable with “bond” as they both evidence a borrowing). The County of Contra Costa, California Multifamily Housing Revenue Note (Baypoint Family Apartments) Series 2018B-1 (the “Senior Note”) in an amount up to $63,500,000 will be purchased by Pacific Western Bank (the “Bank”) and the proceeds of the sale will be loaned by the County to the Borrower (the “Senior Loan”) to finance the acquisition and construction of the Development. The Senior Loan will be assigned to the Bank.  
  
County of Contra Costa , California Multifamily Housing Revenue Note (Baypoint Family Apartments) Series 2018B-2 (the “Subordinate Note”) in the amount of $3,500,000 will be purchased by Bay Point Family Apartments LLC (“Baypoint”), an affiliate of Meta Housing, and loaned by the County to the Borrower (the “Subordinate Loan”) to further finance the acquisition and construction of the Development. The Subordinate Loan will be assigned to Baypoint.  
  
In addition to the proceeds of the Notes, the Development will be funded with low income housing tax credits. The transaction is expected to close on or about November 1, 2018.  
  
The Development will be one hundred percent affordable with 171 units at or below 60% area median income and 20 units at or below 50% area median income plus two managers units. It also includes larger size units appropriate for families; 79 3-bedroom units and 24 4-bedroom units. A Regulatory Agreement governing these affordability restrictions will be recorded against the property. The County approved a Development Plan for the project on April 25, 2017.  
  
Pursuant to California Government Code 5852.1, the Bank has provided a good faith estimate of the cost of the bonds, which is included as Attachment A.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action would prevent the County from issuing the Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds in order to provide a loan to Baypoint Family Apartments, L.P. to finance the construction of Bay Point Family Apartments.
