Regulatory Agreement, former Redevelopment Agency Deed of Trust, HOME
Regulatory Agreement, and HOME Deed of Trust; approving the City entering into
Community Development Block Grant /Section 108 Regulatory Agreement; and
Approving a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust with Willow Gardens Housing
Associates for the Willow Gardens Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project; and
Authorizing the City Manager to execute said documents.
Economic and Community Development Manager Gerber presented the staff report recommending
that Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to: 1) Execute amendments to the
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Regulatory Agreement, RDA Deed of Trust, HOME Regulatory
Agreement and HOME Deed of Trust; 2) Enter into a CDBG /Section 108 Regulatory Agreement; and
3) Approve as to form a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust with Willow Gardens Housing
Associates for the 1999 Willow Gardens Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project. Manager Gerber
explained that the action was necessary to finalize replacement agreements that had been agreed to,
but that had not been executed. He explained that essentially over a period of several years a cluster
of fourplexes were acquired to provide affordable workforce housing. During that phase, several
different funding sources were accessed and layered to permit acquisition and phasing of the project.
Since that time, the homes have been occupied by low and very low income working families. When
the County funds came in to replace the Redevelopment Agency funds, replacement agreements were
not formally executed. The recommended action would put these regulatory agreements in place as
well as all the related notes and deeds of trust.
Councilwoman Matsumoto noted that she was on Council at the time the fourplexes were acquired.
She stated that the true purpose of the acquisition at the time was to protect residents again absentee
landlords and to remove blight. Affordable workforce housing was likely not even in the conversation
at the time, but has turned out to be an ancillary benefit.
MidPen representatives, Karen Somner and Kyle Eisenhoffer, addressed Council. Mr. Eisenhoffer
explained that the MidPen Willow Gardens Project has been operated as an affordable housing
property. There are nine (9) fourplexes including a total of 36 units. Average occupancy per unit is
three (3) residents. Average household income is $47,000. He advised the operations are going very
well and the majority of the current tenants have been there since inception in 1999.
Mayor Addiego queried whether MidPen had any examples of success stories related to residents of
the District.
Mr. Eisenhoffer responded that as a finance staffer, he did not, but he could certainly look into the
matter.
