16.1

PUBLIC HEARING - TEFRA PUBLIC HEARING AND ISSUANCE OF

BONDS BY THE CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY IN

AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $20 MILLION FOR ORCHARD

COMMONS - 811 BOYD STREET

BACKGROUND: The issuance of tax exempt, private activity bonds

must be approved by the jurisdiction the project is located following a

public hearing. Santa Rosa Boyd, LP (“Borrower”) has selected the

California Municipal Finance Authority (“CMFA”), a joint-powers

authority of which the City is a member, to be the issuer of multifamily

housing revenue bonds for Orchard Commons, formerly known as Boyd

Street Family Apartments, 46 rental units, located at 811 Boyd Street (

“Project”), in an amount not to exceed $20 million, and has requested

that the City Council conduct a public hearing in accordance with the

Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1983 (“TEFRA”). A public

hearing is required to provide a reasonable opportunity for interested

individuals to express their views, orally or in writing, on the proposed

issue of bonds and the location and nature of the proposed project to

be financed. All financial obligations of the bond issuance are the

responsibility of the Borrower. The project was completed on January

10, 2023. The Borrower is now seeking to convert from construction

financing to permanent financing and needs access to the bond

proceeds. A public hearing for this item was held on January 14, 2020,

due to COVID-19 related delays, the project was unable to close on the

bond financing within one year of City Council approval required

pursuant to tax code Section 147(f).

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department that the Council: 1) conduct a public

hearing under the requirements of the Tax Equity and Fiscal

Responsibility Act of 1983 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

amended; and 2) by resolution, approve the issuance of tax exempt

multifamily housing revenue bonds by the California Municipal Finance

Authority in an amount not to exceed $20 million to finance Orchard

Commons, 811 Boyd Street.
