IN COOPERATION WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE
WHEREAS, there is a shortage in the County of Orange (the"County") and in the City of
Huntington Beach (the"City") of decent, safe and sanitary housing, particularly of housing
affordable by first-time buyers, and a consequent need to encourage the availability of homes
affordable by such persons and otherwise to increase the housing supply in the City and in the
County for such persons; and
The Board of Supervisors of the County has declared its intent to engage in a mortgage
credit certificate program(the"Program") pursuant to Part 5 of Division 31 of the Health and
Safety Code of the State of California(the"Act") and to issue mortgage credit certificates
pursuant to the Act to provide funds for the Program; and
The City desires to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the County to permit the
operation of the Program within the boundaries of the City; and
Section 146 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the"Code"), limits the
amount of mortgage credit certificates that may be issued in any calendar year by entities within a
state and authorizes the governor or the legislature of such state to provide the method of
allocation within such state; and
Chapter 11.8 of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code of the State of California
(the"Government Code") governs the allocation of the state ceiling (as that term is defined in the
Code) among governmental units in the State of California(the"State") having the authority to
issue mortgage credit certificates; and

an allocation of authority to issue mortgage credit certificates and elects to transfer to the County
pursuant to Section 8869.5(d) of the Government Code, the total amount, if any, of such
authority allocated to the City; and
