Mayor Pro Tern Delgleize stated her support for the item and discussed with Director Luna-Reynosa the benefits for the City by providing middle-income rental housing, and her appreciation for the opportunity to provide affordable housing to middle-income wage earners. Councilmember Posey stated his support for this item and the potential for increased discretionary income spent at local businesses to offset some of the property tax loss . He also sees the benefit for local preference for people who are working in Huntington Beach . Councilmember Posey and Janice Eckles, Administrative Analyst Principal discussed details related to certifying and annual audit to ensure project residents meet the local preference qualifications , which will be determined at the time the property is converted. In response to Councilmember Posey's question to clarify how a taxing agency, such as Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control as an example, is made whole , Ben Barker of California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) ex plained that only property taxes , not any special levies , are impacted by this program . Councilmember Moser and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed that school districts are made whole at the time the property transfers to the City as a general levy on property tax . There was further discussion that California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines do not affect this project because these are existing buildings and their environmental impact has already been addressed . In response to whether these units will help meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers, Director Luna-Reynosa explained that under today's law these units do not quality to be counted to meet the City's RHNA numbers; however, pending legislation could change that. Ben Barker explained that he is not aware of any major opposition to California Assembly Bill 787, but it is probably about two years out from being implemented if it passes. Councilmember Peterson stated he cannot support projects or government housing that provide subsidies, which in his opinion is effectively rent control. Mayor Pro Tern Delgleize asked for clarification on property tax implications and Director Luna-Reynosa explained that since the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) purchasing the assets is a government entity and therefore tax exempt, the properties fall off the tax roll for at least 15 years . In the end, when the property transfers back to the City at an appreciated value, the Return on Investment (ROI) is e xpected to be significant enough to replace the lost property tax for all affected entities, plus additional revenue . Mayor Carr and staff Analyst Eckles reviewed CMFA's commitment to giving the City twenty-five percent (25%) of the bond issuance fee, currently estimated at $267 ,500, which would be committed to the Local Council/PFA Regular Meeting Minutes July 20, 2021 Page 10of11 Housing Trust Fund for future middle-income projects . In addition, CMFA has committed to giving another 25%, or $267 ,500, to a local non-profit of the City's choice. Mayor Carr further stated that one-third of the units would be available for those at 80% of Area Median Income (AMI), one-third available for those at 100% of AMI , and one-third available for those at 120% of AMI. In response to statements questioning whether this project is rent control , Director Luna Reynosa stated since the rental amounts are determined by the property owner, rather than by a municipality restricting what a private property owner can charge, this project is not rent control. A motion was made by Carr, second Delgleize to adopt Resolution Nos. 2021-43 and 2021-44 approving , authorizing, and directing execution of joint exercise of powers agreements relating to the CMFA Special Finance Agency VII and VIII (collectively the "Agency") supporting the Agency's issuance of bonds for the production, preservation, and protection of essential middle-income rental housing ("Middle-Income Housing Program"); and, authorize and direct the City Manager to enter into Public Benefit Agreements, substantially in the form attached , with the Agency, which may result in the City receiving surplus revenue from the future sale of the Projects; and, authorize and direct the City Manager to execute related documents and take any additional actions that may be required to implement the Middle-Income Housing Program; and, determine that this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3), because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and it is not a "project" pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
