OB - Item 3E - Rosemead Senior Housing ComplexesROSEMEAD SUCCESSOR
AGENCY STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: MATTHEW HAWKESWORTH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 25, 2012
SUBJECT: ROSEMEAD SENIOR HOUSING COMPLEXES
SUMMARY
The Rosemead Housing Development Corporation owns and operates two low- income
senior housing Facilities. The Angelus Senior Housing facility was built in 1995 and the
Garvey Senior Housing Facility was constructed in 2002. Under the laws which
regulate affordable housing, these facilities have covenants which require them to be
maintained as affordable housing facilities for 35 years and 55 years respectively.
The Rosemead Housing Development Corporation (RHDC) is a 501c3 non - profit
organization and relies solely upon funding from outside sources to operate and
subsidize the rents of these two facilities. As such, the RHDC has an Assistance and
Operating Agreement with the City of Rosemead and the Rosemead Community
Development Commission (Commission) to provide funding and operational staffing.
This agreement provides for the transfer of low and moderate income housing funds
from the Community Development Commission to the RHDC to subsidize the costs of
the ground lease, administrative overhead and to make up any shortfalls between the
rents collected and general operational costs.
Staff Recommendation:
That the Oversight Board recognize the Ground Leases and Assistance and Operating
Agreement as an enforceable obligations and authorize payment from either the low
and moderate income housing funds being held by the Successor Agency or through
tax increment distribution.
BACKGROUND
The Angeles Low - Income Senior Housing Complex (Angelus) was constructed in 1995
on a parcel which is owned by the City of Rosemead. Prior to the construction of the
facility, a ground lease was approved which provided for annual lease payments to be
made over a thirty -five year period beginning with the anniversary date of the
occupancy of the facility. Angelus was issued a Certificate of Occupancy on February
7, 1995 and annual ground lease payments have been made from the RHDC to the City
of Rosemead each year since. At the same time an Assistance and Operating
Agreement between the RHDC, the City of Rosemead and the Commission was
approved for the operations and maintenance of the facility. This agreement provided
ITEM NO. 3Z
City Council Meeting
April 25, 2012
Page 2 of 3
for assistance with the funding of pre- construction and construction activities along with
the ongoing operations of the facility. In the agreement, the Commission is obligated to
reimburse the RHDC for any shortfalls occurring between the gross receipts of rents
collected and the permitted operating expenses. This annual shortfall was $220,705 for
the 2010 -11 fiscal year and is projected to be approximately the same for the 2011 -12
and 2012 -13 fiscal years.
The Garvey Low - Income Senior Housing Complex (Garvey) was constructed in 2002 in
conjunction with the construction of the Garvey Community Center on a parcel of land
owned by the City of Rosemead. Similar to what was done for the Angelus facility, a
ground lease was approved which provided for annual lease payments to be made over
a fifty-five year period beginning with the anniversary date of the occupancy of the
facility. Garvey was issued a Certificate of Occupancy on September 19, 2002 and
annual lease payments have been made from the RHDC to the City of Rosemead each
year since. At the same time, a revised Assistance and Operating Agreement was
drafted which incorporated the operation , maintenance and funding of both the Angelus
and Garvey facilities. With the revised agreement, the Commission continues to be
obligated to reimburse the RHDC for any shortfalls occurring between the gross receipts
of rents collected and the permitted operating expenses. The annual shortfall for 201 Q-
11 was $238,110 and is also projected to remain stable for the 2011 -12 and 2012 -13
fiscal years.
Shortly after the Supreme Court made their ruling regarding ABx1 26 and 27, Senator
Steinberg drafted Senate Bill 654 which permitted the transfer of any financial assets or
cash from the low and moderate income housing fund of the previous redevelopment
agencies to the Successor Agencies for the continued operation of low and moderate
income programs. While this Bill was approved by the legislature, it did not contain
urgency language and therefore does not go into effect until January 1, 2013..
Furthermore, the Governor has not yet signed this Bill and has made previous
references that he does not intend to sign any bills which would extend funding for
redevelopment or housing activities. If this Bill is not approved, the Rosemead
Successor Agency would have to relinquish more than $2 million dollars which had
been set aside for the operation of these two low- income senior housing facilities.
Furthermore, if these funds or tax increment funds are not approved for these two
facilities, the City would be forced to step down as the Successor Agency for housing
related functions. Ultimately, the RHDC would be dissolved and the two complexes
would be relinquished to the County's Housing Authority or another non - profit
organization in accordance with law.
