Archstone desires to refinance the bonds along with other properties it owns. The City's assistance is again being requested. DISCUSSION: In 1997 Archstone Communities purchased the Le Club Apartments in Moorpark and requested the City's assistance in refinancing the bonds that had been issued for construction. In June 1997 the City approved the refinancing. Archstone Communities is proposing to refinance those bonds along with the bonds issued for other properties that it owns, but requires the City's assistance. The City would be required to hold a Tax Equity and Financial Responsibility Act (TEFRA) hearing on the proposed bond refinance. Staff proposes that this be held on March 17, 1999. In addition the Council would need to approve amendments to the various covenants on the bonds before they can be sold. These would be developed with the assistance of the City's consultants, Urban Futures, Inc. and well as financial implications to the City. oOO214 Bond Refinancing Assistance Meeting of 17 February 1999 Page 02 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve providing assistance for Archstone Communities, proposed refinancing of bonds for Le Club Apartments and set the TEFRA hearing for March 17, 1999. 000215
