The said property is 2.84 -acres in total area (one lot), of which 2.80 -acres is located within Monterey Park and 0.04 -acre is located within the City of Rosemead. 1MIX%X"M111101: Q' p1C�9:da. .6�71.1Sm.1grll � � W.hrtmore Std - dl�■ � �� z Ilr� ■■■� I: Ilpl� — I �c tie!% tib■■til ori+:■ �. G e p;� :iii^■' ■+�a�E' '._ 3 elm.0 AGENDA ITEM 8.A City Council Meeting April 23, 2024 Page 2 of 4 The property owner of 126 North New Avenue Monterey Park, CA ("Whitmore Villa" 63 -unit multifamily and condominium project) is pursuing bond financing with the California Statewide Communities Development Authority's (CSCDA) Open PACE program. The program is available to residential and commercial property owners to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and seismic improvements. The improvements installed on the property would be financed by the issuance of bonds by CSCDA. The bonds would be secured by a voluntary contractual assessment levied on the property and collected as part of the regular county property tax bill. The CSCDA Open PACE Program Administrators would provide: • Develop managed contractor networks in California communities. • Provide 100% financing for energy efficiency projects. • File repayment obligations through property tax bills. Cities and counties must be members of CSCDA and adopt a resolution to opt -in to CSCDA Open PACE to participate. Monterey Park is a CSCDA member and has adopted a resolution for the property tax assessment required for the Open PACE program for the Whitmore Villa project. Even though Rosemead's portion of the said lot is small (0.04 -acre of the 2.84 -acre lot) and improvements are limited to open parking spaces and landscaping, CSCDA requires that Rosemead become a CSCDA member and adopt a resolution for the property tax assessment. Without Rosemead, CSCDA would not facilitate the bond issuance. DISCUSSION This is an unusual case in that the request is for Rosemead to join a JPA for a project that except for 0.04 -acre (1,700 SF) is outside of its jurisdiction. Moreover, the proposed improvement in Rosemead is limited to five surface parking spaces and landscaping. Staff believes that there are two salient considerations, as follows: 1. Should Rosemead adopt a Resolution authorizing property tax assessment for the 0.04 -acre portion within Rosemead for the CSCDA Open PACE program? Staff supports the requested Resolution as it would have minimal effect on Rosemead. As noted by CSCDA, Rosemead would not incur any liability by being a Program Participant of CSCDA. The Agreement expressly provides that CSCDA is a public entity separate and apart from the Program Participant, and CSCDA's debts, liabilities or obligation do not constitute debts, liabilities or obligations of any parry to the Agreement. Furthermore, the Resolution is specific and limited to the said property and no other properties in Rosemead would be allowed to participate in the CSCDA Open PACE Program without the approval of the City Council. In addition, the Program Participants (e.g., City of Rosemead) are not responsible for any repayment of bonds issued by CSCDA. Any bonds issued by CSCDA are issued as limited obligations of CSCDA, not of the Program Participants, payable solely out of the revenues and receipts received by CSCDA from the applicable project or the loans made City Council Meeting April 23, 2024 Page 3 of 4 by CSCDA to the respective borrower with the proceeds of the bonds. In order to further limit CSCDA's financial liability and that of its Program Participants, CSCDA requires that in connection with the loan of bond proceeds to a borrower, such borrower must indemnify CSCDA and the applicable Program Participant from all losses, damages, claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses of any conceivable nature, kind or character relating to the applicable bonds and project, although any such indemnification could be impacted by bankruptcy of the borrower or other limitations on legal remedies. Consistent with this requirement, the Property Owner will indemnify the City. 2. Should Rosemead join CSCDA as a member entity? At this time, the benefit specific to Rosemead is not present to join CSCDA. Rosemead joining CSCDA would be the sole benefit to the project. Staff did discuss the option of subdividing the 0.04 -acre Rosemead portion so that the tax assessment is solely within Monterey Park, but the property owner declined. Another option was to amend the city boundary line, but that process is a lengthy and complex annexation process with LAFCO and is not feasible at this time. However, by becoming a member the City could pursue programs offered by CSCDA if it chooses to in the future. The CSCDA programs offered are listed on its website (cscda.org) and are included in this staff report as Attachment B. A brief description of CSCDA The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (`CSCDA'), the largest joint powers authority in California, was founded and sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties in 1988, under California's Joint Exercise of Powers Act, to provide California's local governments with an effective tool for the timely financing of community-based public benefit projects. More than 535 cities, counties and special districts are program participants in CSCDA (the "Program Participants'), which serves as their conduit issuer and provides access to efficient financing for locally -approved projects. CSCDA has issued more than $75 billion in tax-exempt bonds for projects. There is no cost to be a member of CSCDA. Fees are levied by CSCDA for bond issuance and project administration costs. The cities may opt -out of the JPA at its discretion. City Council Meeting April 23, 2024 Pase 4 of 4 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the following: 1. Approve Resolution No. 2024-13 authorizing the City Manager to execute the Joint Powers Agreement with California Statewide Community Development Authority (CSCDA). 2. Approve Resolution No. 2024-14 approving the inclusion of Open PACE so that CSCDA can provide financing for the installation of Improvements on the property located at 126 North New Avenue, Monterey Park, California, which is partially located in the City of Rosemead. FISCAL IMPACT There is no negative fiscal impact to the City's general fund by consenting to the participation of the Participating Property in the CSCDA Open PACE Program. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The City Council has determined that there is no possibility the proposed amendment may have a significant effect on the environment as the Council is only agreeing to adopt a resolutions related to participation in a State funding program, therefore the exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) applies.

CSCDA was created in 1988, under California's Joint Exercise of Powers Act, to provide California's local governments with an effective tool for the timely financing of community-based public benefit projects. CSCDA has over 535 member agencies. More information about CSCDA is available at www.cscda.ora . CSCDA has implemented Property Assessed Clean Energy ("PACE") on behalf of its member cities and counties to finance and refinance the installation on real property of distributed generation renewable energy, energy efficiency, water efficiency and seismic strengthening improvements, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and other improvements authorized by state legislation ("Improvements"). The owner (the "Participating Property Owner") of the property located at 126 North New Avenue, Monterey Park, California (the "Participating Property"), which currently consists of a single legal parcel that, somewhat unusually, is primarily in the City of Monterey Park and partially in the City of Rosemead, has asked CSCDA to provide financing through the CSCDA Open PACE Program for the installation of Improvements on the Participating Property as part of the construction of the Whitmore Villa, a 63 -unit multifamily and condominium development of 11 buildings with attached and subterranean garages on the Participating Property (the "Project"). See Exhibit A for annotated map indicating the portion of the Participating Property located in the City of Rosemead. CSCDA (and not the City of Rosemead) will be responsible for entering into the voluntary contractual assessment agreement with the Participating Property Owner, levying the voluntary contractual assessment on the Participating Property, issuing bonds to finance the Improvements and taking remedial actions in the event of delinquent assessment payments. The resolution expressly provides that the City of Rosemead will not be responsible for the conduct of any assessment proceedings, the levy of assessments, any required remedial action in the case of delinquencies in assessment payments, or the issuance, sale or administration of any bonds issued by CSCDA. The proposed approval is limited to the property located at 126 North New Avenue. No other properties in the City of Rosemead would be allowed to participate in the CSCDA Open PACE Program without the express written consent of the City Council. The City of Monterey Park previously authorized the CSCDA Open PACE program. Under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, CSCDA cannot provide the proposed financing without the City of Rosemead being a member of CSCDA. However, just as the City of Rosemead's participation in the CSCDA Open PACE Program would be limited to authorizing CSCDA to provide financing to the property located at 126 North New Avenue, the City of Rosemead's participation in CSCDA would be limited to the PACE financing for 126 North New Avenue.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization can finance projects at a lower interest rate than conventional financing because the interest paid to bondholders is exempt from federal (and in some instances state) income taxes. HOUSING BONDS For-profit and nonprofit developers can access tax-exempt bonds for the financing of low-income multifamily and senior housing projects. The Bonds may be used to finance or refinance the acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing project or for the construction of a new project, provided the developer agrees to set aside all, or a portion, of the units in a project for individuals and families of very low, low or moderate income.

Infrastructure Finance Programs — CSCDA CSCDA CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Infrastructure Finance Programs SCIP Overview Q In response to the increasing local agency staff time and budget pressures caused by new commercial, industrial or residential development, CSCDA offers the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program ("SCIP"). SCIP is a financing program that enables developers to pay most impact fees and finance public improvements through an acquisition agreement that qualify under the 1913/1915 Act (excluding school fees) via tax-exempt bond issuance proceeds. The SCIP program has assisted communities and developers throughout California to finance over $750 million in impact fees and public infrastructure since 2003. This highly versatile program has been molded to the needs of each local agency participant of SCIP. As most local agencies require developers to pay impact fees prior to obtaining a permit, SCIP can be used to directly prepay these fees or, alternatively, to reimburse the developer after fee payment. The program can be used to enable developers to pay for, or be reimbursed for, all eligible impact fees or for a single impact fee. Moreover, the program may alleviate the need for a fee deferral program by providing the local agency with necessary funds and eliminating the risk of nonpayment by the developer. SCIP has been designed to minimize local agency staff involvement by using an experienced team of finance professionals to administer the program, thereby freeing valuable local agency resources for other functions. To participate, a local agency need only be a member of CSCDA and pass a resolution approving the program. Please refer to the SCIP FAQ's and the SCIP Manual for details.

Overview New Markets Tax Credit Program — CSCDA CSCDA CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY New Markets Tax Credit Program Q Created by the U.S. Federal Government in 2000 as part of the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act, the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program encourages investment in low-income communities. Through the NMTC Program, real estate projects or businesses in a low-income community are able to generate capital by providing investors - typically a bank or financial institution - a tax credit as an additional incentive for capital investment. The authority to determine how tax credits are allocated is granted to financial intermediaries called Community Development Entities (CDEs). CDEs have been certified by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury after completing a rigorous application process and demonstrating their commitment and history of investing capital into low-income communities. CSCDC is a certified CDE. Certified CDEs compete annually to receive awards under the NMTC Program and the CDFI Fund typically designates 70-120 CDEs to receive a NMTC allocation each year. Once awarded, a CDE may sub -allocate NMTC allocation authority to qualified projects or businesses that are aligned with the objectives of the NMTC program. In the last 20 years, the CDFI Fund has awarded $75 billion in tax credit authority to certified CDEs. CSCDC has been awarded $313 million in NMTC allocation since the inception of the program.

Overview Workforce Housing Program — CSCDA CSCDA CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Workforce Housing Program 0 CSCDA COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY (CSCDA CIA) WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM California's housing crisis remains critical and the State continues to experience a significant shortage of available affordable housing units. Affordable housing is typically financed with tax- exempt private activity bonds and low-income housing tax credits, but these subsidies are limited to projects that restrict units for residents earning less than 60% of the area median income (AMI) (in certain cases up to 80% AMI). Since its inception, CSCDA has financed the construction or preservation of nearly 100,000 affordable units throughout California. State leaders, as well as individual cities and counties have also recognized a serious shortage of workforce housing for those that have been termed the "missing middle", individuals and families that earn too much to qualify for traditional affordable housing, but not enough to afford market rate rents in the communities where they work. Workforce housing (sometimes referred to as middle-income or moderate -income housing) is housing for individuals and families typically earning between 60% and 120% AMI. Unfortunately, workforce housing for the "missing middle" is not eligible for tax credits, private activity bonds or most other federal, state or local government subsidies. The CSCDA Community Improvement Authority (CSCDA CIA), an affiliate joint powers authority, acquires public benefit oriented capital projects through the issuance of tax-exempt governmental purpose bonds. Through CSCDA CIA's Workforce Housing Program, government bonds are issued to acquire market -rate apartment buildings. These properties are then converted to income and rent - restricted units for moderate/middle income households, which are generally households earning 80% to 120% of AMI. Annual rent increases are capped at no more than 4%, which is significantly less https://cscda.orghvorkforc housing -program/ 1/2 4/16/24, 1:51 PM Workforce Housing Program — CSCDA than the rent limits under AB1482, the recently adopted State tenant protection legislation. Additionally, no existing tenants are displaced under the program. CSCDA CIA operates the largest workforce housing program in California and has acquired and converted more than 7,700 units for low- and middle-income tenants.
