SUBJECT: CONSULTANT SERVICES - BIBO PROPOSAL
BACKGROUND
BIBO, Inc. development company has proposed to the City an
affordable housing project on property south of Los Angeles Avenue
and east of the existing Regal Townhomes. BIBO, Inc. is requesting
a density bonus for this project to raise the dwelling unit per
acre from 12 to 20. Proposed is a rental complex.
Although the Affordable Housing Committee has met several times
with BIBO, Inc.; there has been no consensus of density or
provisions of affordable housing.
At this time there is a need for consultant services to assist the
City in determining the overall effectiveness in granting density
bonuses over and above the mandated State requirement. The
evaluation of various options to create an affordable program for
this project can be more quickly evaluated by a professional who
specializes in this area of financial development.
Attached are the replies from two firms regarding this matter. The
firm of Urban Futures, Inc. has a charge rate of $125.00 per hour
Plus out of pocket. The Agoura Group charge rate is $100.00 per
hour plus out of pocket expenses. After reviewing both proposals,
it is staff's opinion that Urban Futures, Inc. has the best
understanding of the City's needs

Moorpark, CA 93021
Dear Mr. Richards:
We are pleased to present this letter proposal to provide professional services to the
City of Moorpark. It is our understanding that the City wishes to engage a qualified
firm to develop a program to allow developers conditional use permits in exchange for
providing low - to-moderate income housing (pursuant to density bonus legislation enacted
in 1979 under Government Code Section 65915- 65918), and to provide financial advisory
services in the event the City determines to go forward with a debt financing.
Urban Futures feels well - qualified to participate in this engagement. Incorporated in
1972, Urban Futures has existed in its present form since 1974. Located in Fullerton,
California, Urban Futures is a multi - discipline consulting firm offering services in
public finance, redevelopment planning and implementation, urban planning and bond
administration
We have served in the role of bond administrator since 1979 and compliance agent since
1982. Urban Futures currently is serving as administrator and /or compliance agent on
over 90 single- and multifamily bond issues. Included in this total are bond issues for
Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties. Some of these bond programs
also include density bonus agreements.
Urban Futures, Inc. has served as financial advisor and /or bond administrator to over 55
counties, cities and redevelopment agencies. The cumulative value of issues for which we
have served approaches close to $2,000,000,000. A list of representative bond issuers
and client references is attached. In addition, major foreign banks have issued Letters
of Credit to a significant number of California Redevelopment Agencies based on their
confidence in our work product.
This proposal will detail the firm's proposed scope of services. For the engagement,
Urban Futures will assign Marshall Linn, Richard Oakley, Douglas Anderson and Karen Hawe,
which will bring to the engagement over 40 years of "hands on" redevelopment, planning,
and public finance experience.
Urban Futures' proposed fee structure is outlined in the final section of this proposal.
We welcome the opportunity to further serve the City of Moorpark. If you have any
questions or need additional information regarding this proposal, please call me at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
URBAN FUTURES, INC.

INTRODUCTION
Urban Futures has been incorporated in California since 1972, serving California
municipalities, counties and private- sector clients in finance, redevelopment and
planning.
As a multi - disciplinary firm, Urban Futures is able to understand its clients' needs in
managing and financing their growth and development. As a specialist in California
cities and counties, Urban Futures brings to its assignments a keen understanding of the
economic and political climate of the areas it serves. The firm is currently serving
California cities as far south as Imperial County and as far north as Del Norte County.
If Urban Futures is selected to perform the duties required by the City, the Bond
Division will assume the responsibilities. This division provides comprehensive and
innovative financial consulting services to public- and private- sector clients. Over the
past five years, Urban Futures has served as financial advisor in more than one billion
dollars' worth of municipal securities.
In the administration field, the firm is serving as administrator and /or compliance agent
for a portfolio of single- and multifamily housing issues totaling over two billion
dollars in face value. Included in this portfolio are a wide variety of issues including
small cities, major California counties, and housing finance agencies. Also included are
multifamily issues subject to the regulations mandated by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and
issues using the new low - income tax credit. Additionally, some of the issues also
include density bonus agreements with the cities.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The City of Moorpark wishes to establish a density bonus program to provide a consistent
approach for future developers who desire conditional use permits. A standard agreement
needs to be developed that meets the City's affordable housing criteria yet allows enough
flexibility to enable developers to make a profit. The agreement needs to be recorded
with the title to each relevant parcel so that it is binding upon future owners of the
property.
It is important that the agreement be acceptable to the City Attorney, yet understandable
to a lay person.
The City desires to ensure that its affordable housing requirements are met; thus the
form of agreement needs to include reporting requirements and penalties for
noncompliance.
Additionally, it is important that all projects being considered for density bonuses are
economically viable; therefore each project's pro - formas must be carefully evaluated and
analyzed by the City.
The City needs to develop both general and project specific conditions of approval in
qualifying projects for the density bonus program.
It is the desire of the City to engage a firm who will develop, negotiate and administer
a density bonus program including representing the City before meetings with project
applicants.
It is also the desire of the City, to engage a financial advisory firm to provide an
independent analysis of any prospective debt financing.
The final desire of the City is to set up �, -nonitoring system for all density bonus
projects.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Urban Futures, Inc. proposes to serve as the central contact regarding the City's density
bonus program.
This would involve the following:
Developing a standard agreement for use by future developers interested in
conditional use permits.
2. Review and analyze project specific pro - formas of all applicants for the
program to insure economic viability.
3. Develop both general and project specific conditions of approval in qualifying
projects for the program.
4. As the official representative of the City, conduct face to face meetings with
project applicants.
5. Implement a monitoring system to ensure that the City's requirements are met by
the property owners.
In order to achieve these objectives we expect that it will be necessary to attend
meetings with City staff and the City Council if necessary. Additionally, interviews
will take place with developers currently under contract to determine their projects'
current status, and their receptiveness to proposed future requirements. We expect that
this project will take a cooperative effort between the City and interested developers.
Financial Advisory Services
The scope of services performed by the firm would be dependent on the needs of the City
with respect to the transaction. The following list serves as a guide, outlining the
services the firm customarily performs in transactions similar to the proposed issue. We
realize that the City may have relationships with bond counsel, underwriters or trustees
and may wish to use these services in this transaction; however, we would be available
for consultation in these areas if needed.
Develop program goals and objectives with other members of the Bond Team.
Develop realistic schedules in which to achieve these goals.
3. Prepare a strategy to recruit lenders Find surety guarantors if needed.
4. File the requisite forms in order to obtain an allocation to issue bonds from the
California Debt Limit Allocation Corlunittee (CDLAC).

Dear Patrick:
It was good to talk with you the other day. To reiterate, The
Agora Group (TAG) would be very interested in assisting you
with the project analysis and negotiations you mentioned.
TAG provides a full range of affordable housing financial
consultant services. The principals of TAG, Jennifer Bigelow
and myself, have extensive experience providing technical
assistance to public agencies and non- profit organizations in
the financing and development of affordable housing. We have a
detailed working knowledge of the array of programs and
innovative techniques currently being utilized in California
and nationally to provide below- market rate rental and
ownership housing. Our experience in affordable housing ranges
from regional needs assessments arid Policy design through
establishing project management systems and organizational
capacity building. However, our focus has been the creative
use and leveraging of scarce public and private financial
resources in order to develop qocxi quality housing which is
affordable to low and moderate income families and individuals.
Below is a list of the range ( >(!rvi ��es which we normally
provide:
* site selection, evaluation arid negotiations
* development team sele(,tie�n
* programmatic strategics arid packaging
* financial structuring and analysis
* detailed pro formal and feasibility analyses
* seed money and pre - development financing
* Prop 77, Prop 84, 1)1701u 107 and Tax Credit analysis and
packaging
* program and financial apf,lications to HCD, CHFA, MBAC,
FHLB and other agenci,—, and institutions
* bridge financing
* interim and convent.i�),, it financing
-- RECEIVED --
.11? I 13 1330
* structuring limited partnerships and syndications
* review of legal and partnership documents
* investor identification and negotiations
* raising equity
* coordination with brokers
* marketing materials
* program, financial and syndication closings
* establishing management systems
* Board and resident training
* ongoing project monitoring
Of course, in your case, as we understand it, our scope of
services would be more restricted. We would specifically focus
on financial feasibility analysis, public fund leveraging, and
negotiations with the developer.
For these more defined services, we believe that we would be
ablp.to provide the basic analysis and the initial meetings and
negotiation sessions within a $5,000 budget. We would bill
monthly at our small public agency rate of $100 per hour plus
approved travel expenses. (We do not bill for travel time.)
However, our experience in cases of this kind is that unless
agreement can be reached relatively rapidly, the time for both.
analysis and negotiations becomes much more extended. At this
point we would not be able t-o make a detailed estimate of the
additional time and expenses since they are contingent upon any
results with the developer. Hc)wever, we would suggest that for
budgetary purposes, even though these funds may not be
necessary, you plan for an additional $5,000 to $10,000 to
cover additional negotiations irid analysis.
I hope this helps explain our 'onsultant arrangements. TAG
would very much like to find a way to work with you.
Additional material on oursely -::t, our firm and our capabilities
is enclosed. Please call me t' you h-ive any questions.
Sincerely,
Edward M. Kirshner
