CITY OF'VIOORP- .RK., CALIFORNIA City Cmincil Meeting Of .d,''12P17�1R9 ACTION: i��y BY: 62 LAA� . John E. Nowak, Assistant City Manager 05 November 1999 (Meeting of 11/17/99) SUBJECT: Consider the Tax Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) Hearing Related to the Villa Del Arroyo Mobilehome Park. (CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING) BACKGROUND: Prior to issuance of the proposed Mobile Home Park Revenue Bonds (the "Bonds ") to finance the acquisition of the 241 -space Villa Del Arroyo Mobilehome Park (the "Project ") located at 15750 East Los Angeles Street, the City Council, sitting as the legislative body of the City, must hold a public hearing. DISCUSSION: As the City Council will recall from prior memoranda, the Caritas Corp., a California 501(c) (3) non- profit corporation, has requested that the City of Moorpark be the conduit to issue non - recourse revenue bonds similar in nature to other non - recourse housing revenue bonds which have been issued by the City from time to time. Neither the City, nor any other public agency will be responsible for the payment of the Bonds, as they are backed solely by rent revenue generated by the Project. The TEFRA hearing is a requirement of the Internal Revenue Service and is mandated for all housing revenue bond issues. The purpose of the hearing is to give the general public the opportunity to express their views regarding either the issuance of the Bonds, or the Project itself. 00(060 TEFRA Hearing on Villa Del Arroyo Bonds Meeting of 17 November 1999 Page 02 The TEFRA hearing does not approve the Bonds' sale, or and conditions that might be imposed on the sale. The actual approval of the Bond documents will take place at a subsequent Council meeting. The hearing was initially scheduled for the November 3 Council meeting. At that time the Council opened the public hearing and took testimony. The matter was then continued to this meeting with the public hearing remaining open. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Take testimony from the public. 2. Close the public hearing. 3. Approve a motion that the TEFRA requirement of the IRS has been met and public comments have been duly recorded. 000662'
