REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 10/2/2006 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED 06-37
Analysis: The City's five-year management contract with the current managers of Emerald
Cove, Western Seniors Housing, Inc., will expire soon. Expecting this, in July the Real
Estate Services division solicited bids from 14 management firms experienced with
affordable and/or senior housing. Five proposals were received from various management
firms, including Community Housing Services Management, Living Opportunities
Management Company (LOMCO), Western Seniors Housing, Barker Management
Incorporated, and John Stewart Company, Inc. Staff reviewed the proposals and also
requested that Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) objectively review, analyze and perform
background checks on each proposal, including a comparison of the affordable and senior
housing experience, knowledge, financial stability, proposed staffing and site management
experience, budget preparation and management fee, references and senior program
services being offered by each proposer. Overall, staff and KMA ranked John Stewart
Company, Inc. (Stewart) first in all categories and recommends Stewart as the most qualified
managing agent for the Emerald Cove complex (See Attachment #1 and Attachment #2-
Exhibit F).
An interview with the regional managers of Stewart was attended by Community Services,
Senior Center, Economic Development and Real Estate Services department staff. The
interview included a review of Stewart's accounting and management procedures,
recreational and social programming, maintenance standards, ability and experience with
regard to large, "tenant -in -place" capital repair projects, and management transition needs.
Additionally, staff toured several of the facilities now being managed by Stewart. Staff is
recommending that Stewart be awarded the five-year contract for the management of
Emerald Cove based on the above analysis, interview, and the many new social and
independent living programs and facility enhancements that will be made available to
Emerald Cove residents and Stewart's ability to coordinate major "tenant in place"
rehabilitation projects.
The management fee being charged by Stewart is $78,240 per year ($40 per rented unit per
month), which is equal to $391,200 over the life of the five year contract. Staff has confirmed
that this amount is comparable to the management fees being charged at other similar senior
apartment complexes. The term of the agreement is five (5) years, with an option to extend
the agreement for an additional two (2) times in increments of two (2) years. The total
proposed annual budget for Emerald Cove is as follows:
*Income

$ 972,600.00

Net Income $ 506,240.00
*Income based on actual July 2006 rents received
#Antici ated expenses as per proposed budget
To accommodate anticipated and unexpected monthly expenses, the Emerald Cove
Operating Account balance will be raised to $50,000.00. An amount not to exceed
$488,920.00 will be budgeted annually to cover the monthly expenses associated with
Emerald Cove. All other differences between the former contract with Western Seniors
Housing, Inc., prepared by the City Attorney, and the attached contract are minimal.
Staff's recommendation of Stewart was presented to the Economic Development Committee
on August 14, 2006 where it was recommended that staff seek City Council's approval of the
attached five-year contract with Stewart for the management of the Emerald Cove Complex.
The attached management contract between the City of Huntington Beach and John Stewart
Company, Inc. is being presented to the City Council for approval (See Attachment #2).
Environmental Status: Not applicable.

Questions
A.
Difference between assisted & market rate props.
Main difference is the focus and rental objective.
Assisted housing properties have more stable tenancy, but more complicated (and
sometimes conflicting) regulatory restrictions (certifying households, regulatory
auditsfinspections)
Market rate focuses on maximizing rents and minimizing vacancy rates. Vacancy costs,
concessions, marketing commission and advertising costs are most important factors.
B.
Transition Plan
Attached comprehensive takeover list (lists important documents & issues to be
addressed).
Will request meeting with existing management and interview existing staff initially.
C.
Goals & Objectives
Maintain property professionally, provide rich/supportive rental environment, achieve
budgeted operating results. Will work closely with City.
D.
Resident Outreach/Tenant Activity Programs
Several community -sponsored activities (listed in monthly newsletter). Experience
providing seniors with supportive services.

prior written notice to City when, in Manager's judgment sufficient cause (including, but not
limited to, nonpayment of rent) for such termination occurs under the terms of the tenant's lease.
Manager is authorized to consult with legal counsel to bring actions for eviction and to execute
notices to vacate and judicial pleadings incident to such action; provided, however, that Manager
shall obtain the prior written approval of the City Attorney for any such consultation, and that
Manager follow such instructions as City may prescribe for the conduct of any such action.
Subject to the City Attorney's prior written approval, attorney's fees and other necessary costs
incurred in connection with such actions will be paid out of the Operating Account as Site
expenses.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES PLAN
BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Emerald Cove Senior Apartment Complex (Complex) was constructed in
1984 as affordable housing for low and very low-income senior citizens (60
years or older). The Complex has 164 apartment units--32 studios and 132
one -bedroom units --which are grouped into nine buildings. The Complex
Includes one manager's unit and a recreation building for use by all tenants.
All persons living in the Complex must be able to care for themselves and
live independently, and must qualify as low or very -low Income according to
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income
standards.
Since 1984, the City has contracted with two different property management
firms, utilizing a management agreement that is negotiated every five years.
The management firm will be expected to provide for the complete
maintenance, repair, and operation of the facilities. Additional expected
services include recreational activities, limited counseling, 24 hour on -duty
staff presence, and rent collection. Because an exterior renovation project is
scheduled to begin in the near future, the selected management company
