JARA, SR. ACCOUNTANT-REDEVELOPMENT VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 7, 2003 SUBJECT: FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002, FOR THE CITY OF AZUSA MULTIFAMILY HOUSING PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Financial Statement for Year Ended June 30, 2002, for the Multifamily Housing Program, $19,515,000 Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1994. BACKGROUND In 1985, the City issued multifamily housing revenue bonds totaling $20,450,000 (Prior Bonds), which were loaned to Pacific Glen LLP for the land acquisition and construction of the Pacific Glen Apartments. In return, Pacific Glen guaranteed 20% of the 320 units would be set aside for low-to-moderate income households. In 1994, the $19,515,000 Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1994 were issued to refund the remainder of the Prior Bonds, and were guaranteed by FNMA. Annually, the City’s independent auditors audit this bond issue in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for compliance with the 20% set-aside low-to-moderate income housing requirements. The issue was found to be in conformance with financial auditing standards. However, there were some minor non-compliance issues pertaining to the set-aside requirements. These are explained in the attached letter to Council dated March 1, 2003, and have also been discussed with the apartment administrators. Staff is aware of these minor program discrepancies, and will continue to monitor for compliance. FISCAL IMPACT Although the City arranged the Multifamily Housing Program and issued the bonds, this issue is a special obligation and does not constitute a debt, nor a pledge of faith and credit of the City. The bondholders may look only to the assets of the bond issue for payment. As a result, there is no fiscal impact to the City. Prepared by: Roseanna J.
