Jason Crapo, Department of Conservation and Development (DCD), presented the staff report. 

Mr. Crapo directed the Board's attention to the background information in the Boardorder regarding the September 14, 2015 meeting of the Internal Operations Committee. The agreement providers requested a revision to the operating agreement to reflect that the combined amount of any pre-existing loans plus the PACE lien of a property not exceed 95% of the value of the property. The Internal Operations Committee recommends this revision be adopted.

Additionally it was noted that  Exhibit A to Resolution 2015/442 was not attached at the time of publication, and staff requested a motion to enter the exhibit into the record.

By unanimous vote with all Supervisors present, the Board WAIVED the Better Government Ordinance (BGO) 96-Hour Time Limit to allow inclusion of the exhibit.

The Board ACCEPTED the staff report; ADOPTED Resolution No. 2015/442 and exhibits to become an Associate Member of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), a joint powers authority, and to join the California HERO PACE financing program established by WRCOG; and AUTHORIZED the DCD Director, or designee, to executed an operating agreement, as revised today, with WRCOPG authorizing WRCOG to operate the California HERO PACE financing Program in the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County.
