RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, Trestle Glen Apartments at El Camino Transit Village (the “Project”), is a multifamily affordable housing project located adjacent the Colma BART Station that is under development by BRIDGE Housing Corporation, and which has appeared before the Board six previous times since November 2005, primarily to request approvals related to various funding; and

WHEREAS, the Board has approved the following funding related to the Project: CDBG $621,508; HOME $1,378,492; HELP $1,500,000 through the California Housing Finance Agency; and Section 108 Loan Program $10,745,000 through HUD; and

WHEREAS, because the various funding sources impose specific restrictions on their uses and the Project has proceeded well along in its development phase, it has now become necessary to restructure the existing financing that has already been approved; and

WHEREAS, on November 14, 2006, by Resolution No. 68382, the Board approved $2,000,000 of combined HOME AND CDBG funding for the Project and with Bridge nonprofit-affiliate, Northpoint Housing, Inc (“Northpoint”); and

WHEREAS, the financing restructuring calls for another BRIDGE nonprofit-affiliate, MCB Family Housing, Inc. (“MCB”) to purchase the land from Northpoint at a market price utilizing Section 108 Loan Program and CDBG funds; and

WHEREAS, Northpoint shall pay back the existing HOME loan of $1,378,492, and the County desires to re-loan these funds to Trestle Glen Associates, the limited partnership controlled by BRIDGE, to be used for the completion of the Project; and

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its consideration and acceptance an Agreement with Trestle Glen Associates for a $1,378,492 HOME loan (the “TGA HOME Loan Agreement”), reference to which is hereby made for further particulars, and the Board of Supervisors has examined and approved the same as to form and content and desires to enter into the same.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the President of this Board of Supervisors be, and is hereby authorized and directed to execute said TGA HOME Loan Agreement for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President’s signature thereto.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Director of the Department of Housing or the Director’s designee shall be authorized to execute contract amendments and other documents as may be appropriate to achieve the intent of the TGA HOME Loan Agreement, so long as said amendments and other documents do not modify the County's maximum fiscal obligations by more than $25,000, in aggregate.
