CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: DAWN NEVERS, ASSISTANT COMMUNTY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR RE: APPROVAL OF THE OPEN MARKET SALE OF SURPLUS ASSESSORS PARCEL NUMBERS 012-021-011, 021 & 022
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
SUMMARY
The Council may consider approving the sale of three City owned parcels, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 012-021-011, 021 & 022, on the open market as they are substandard in size and undevelopable as individual parcels.
DISCUSSION
The three parcels (see attached map) were deeded to the City of Oroville in the early 1900s.
Each is less than 1/10 acre and not contiguous which renders then undevelopable as individual parcels. At the request and expense of a developer interested in the parcels, title reports were ordered for the parcels. The title company conducted an extensive search and discovered there is currently no legal descriptions or base information for the title of the parcels.
Recently, the City was approached by the developer with a request to purchase the parcels to develop the location. By selling the property, the City no longer responsible for the care or have any liability that may arise from the property. Due to the anticipated time and monetary investment needed to produce parcel descriptions and establish a title record, staff recommends negotiating this cost into the sale of the parcels.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue to the General Fund for the sale of the parcels is unknown at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to proceed with the sale of the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 012-021-011, 021 & 022, on the open market as they are substandard in size and undevelopable as individual parcels.

FRRPD shall absorb and pay the cost of providing electric service to power the lights. The new lights will be affixed to the existing northern perimeter poles of the Bedrock Tennis Courts and connected to FRRPD electrical service meter.
The FRRPD Board of Directors has approved the requested agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT

The total cost for the third purchase will be $96,190.95.
Staff is requesting authorization to spend up to $96,190.95 on this purchase, to account for any increases in delivery, shipping and/or tax costs between the time of approval to actual purchasing.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND OROVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL LAGRONE, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: CONTRACT FOR INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES WITH THE BUTTE
COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE IN AN AMOUNT NOT
TO EXCEED $400,000 ANNUALLY
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
SUMMARY
The Council will consider a contract with the Butte County District Attorney’s Office for investigative services for specific child abuse cases.
DISCUSSION
Currently the Oroville Police Department staffing allows for one full time Detective. The current Detective is always working at and above capacity. Due to the staffing shortages, it is necessary to seek alternative ways to complete investigations. One such option is to contract for support services for specific types of investigations. One of our partners the Butte County District Attorney’s Office has the capacity at this time to support specific investigations related to child abuse.
This opportunity not only provides additional investigators to augment our depleted staff, but also provides limited training for our staff regarding these types of crimes. The proposed contract is adjustable to meet the demands of the investigations. The minimum amount for this contract is $220,000.00 annually for one full time investigator, to include all overhead and supervision necessary. If the Department experiences a large influx of these types of crimes the contract will be adjustable up to two full time investigators to include all overhead and supervision necessary in an amount not to exceed $400,000.00 annually. This contract can be cancelled by either party with proper notice and must be renewed each year.
The Police Department is experiencing a tremendous salary savings annually due to funded unfilled positions. Funding for this project will come from those salary savings.
The Department is actively recruiting and training new Officers to fill these vacancies and will return to Council with a recommendation, regarding this contract, once all vacant positions are filled.
30 Item 7.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this contract will come from the salary budget of the Oroville Police Department for fiscal year 2022/2023 budget in an amount not to exceed $400,000.00

FROM: BILL LAGRONE, INTERIM CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THE FEDERAL ENGERY REGULATORY
COMMISSON REGARDING THE ORO DAM RELICENSING
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
SUMMARY
The Council will consider a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission asking to require the renegotiation or addendums be added to the original agreement prior to the relicensing of the Oroville Dam.
DISSCUSSION
In 2006 an agreement was reached between several stakeholders and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) regarding the reissuance of an operating license for electrical generation at the Oroville Dam Facility. The agreement at the time was believed to be an equitable agreement. Since the agreement was reached 17 years ago, the value of the original monies discussed has diminished and cost have increased. The original agreement does not allow for in value or cost escalators. It was never imagined it would take 17 plus years to issue an operating license. The Department of Water resources has operated for the past 17 years with a temporary permit each year.
During the past 17 years the Oroville community has seen little investment into the recreational opportunities for community members and tourist. The DWR has extend numerous boat launches at the Oroville Dam Facility due to low water levels. This does allow for boat access to the reservoir, but hardly provides recreational opportunities for the greater part of this Community. The low level of the reservoir is not an attraction to those seeking a place to operate their boats.
The attached letter was approved by the Feather River Recreation and Parks District. The letter outlines the issues that surround the Oroville Dam Facility and ask FERC to delay the relicensing of the Oroville Dam Facility until the original settlement agreement can be modernized to meet the needs of the community. For additional details see attached proposed letter.

FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR -
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
RE: PURCHASE OF CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
SUMMARY
The Council may consider the purchase of Certificate of Deposit in accordance with the City’s Investment policy.
DISCUSSION
The City currently has over 65 million of cash deposited in the State’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). This fund is currently yielding 2.245 percent interest return. Our money is safe here but lately the interest return on Certificates of Deposits (CD’s) have been consistently rising. CD’s are currently yielding from 3.6% to 4.8%. This rate of return is almost double what we are earning now.
Staff is recommending we work with a licensed local financial advisor, Ryan Midkiff to purchase CD’s in the amount of 10 million.
A strategy of purchasing most of the CD’s as long term investments at 5 year CD’s and the rest spread out over other terms.
5 year CD’s 5 million (2.5 million callable, 2.5 million non-callable) (3.6% to 4.8%) 3 year CD’s 2 million (1 million callable, 1 million non-callable) (4.05% to 4.8%) 12 month CD’s 1 million (4.5% to 4.8%)
6 month CD’s 1 million (4.5% to 4.8%)
month CD’ 1 million (4.1% to 4.55%)
We believe this strategy is the best plan of action for the City.
A callable CD can be called at the issuers discretion, usually after a year and then quarterly/semiannually after that. The reason for not doing all callable CDs is you run the risk of missing out on the higher rate of return if the interest rates go down and you’re offerings are less.
44 Item 10.
FISCAL IMPACT
$10,000,000.00 from LAIF to CDs.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the purchase of $10,000,000.00 in Certificates of Deposits.

CITY OF OROVILLE
HOMEBUYER PROGRAM GUIDELINES
1.0. GENERAL
The above–named entity, hereinafter referred to as the “City,” has entered into a contractual relationship with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) to administer one or more HCD-funded homebuyer programs. The homebuyer program described herein (the “Program”) is designed to provide assistance to eligible homebuyers in purchasing homes, also referred to herein as “housing units”, located within the Program’s eligible area, as described in Section 3.1.A. The Program provides this assistance in the form of deferred payment “silent” second priority loans as “Gap” financing toward the purchase price and closing costs of affordable housing units that will be occupied by the homebuyers as their primary residence.
1.1. PROGRAM OUTREACH AND MARKETING
All outreach efforts will be done in accordance with state and federal fair lending regulations to assure nondiscriminatory treatment, outreach and access to the Program.
No person shall, on the grounds of age, ancestry, color, creed, physical or mental disability or handicap, marital or familial status, medical condition, national origin, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation be excluded, denied benefits or subjected to discrimination under the Program. The City will ensure that all persons, including those qualified individuals with handicaps, have access to the Program.
A. The Fair Housing Lender and Accessibility logos will be placed on all outreach materials. Fair housing marketing actions will be based upon a characteristic analysis comparison (census data may be used) of the Program’s eligible area compared to the ethnicity of the population served by the Program (includes, separately, all applications given out and those receiving assistance) and an explanation of any underserved segments of the population. This information is used to show that protected classes (age, gender, ethnicity, race, and disability) are not being excluded from the Program. Flyers or other outreach materials, in English and any other language that is the primary language of a significant portion of the area residents, will be widely distributed in the Program-eligible area and will be provided to any local social service agencies. The City will provide homebuyer classes to help educate homebuyers about the home buying process and future responsibilities. Persons who have participated in local homebuyer seminars will be notified about the Program.
B. The City will work with local real estate agents and primary lenders to explain the Program requirements for eligible housing units and homebuyers, and to review Program processes. Local real estate agents and primary lenders will also be encouraged to have their customers participate in the Program.
C. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits the exclusion of an otherwise qualified individual, solely by reason of disability, from participation under any program receiving Federal funds. The City will take appropriate steps to ensure effective communication with disabled housing applicants, residents and members of the public.
51 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 5
1.2. APPLICATION PROCESS AND SELECTION
A. The City maintains a waiting list of applicants. Each applicant is asked to complete an application form, which asks for sufficient information concerning income, employment, and credit history to establish preliminary eligibility for Program participation. Completed applications are processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Applications are deemed complete only if all information is completed, the application is signed and dated, and a primary lender’s pre-qualification letter is attached to the application. Incomplete applications are returned to the applicant and will not be date/time stamped until complete.
B. Once the applicant’s name comes to the top of the waiting list, their Program eligibility is confirmed, and City will contact the applicant to ensure they are still interested.
If the City encounters material discrepancies and/or misrepresentations, and/or there is income, asset, household composition, or other important questions that can't be resolved, the City reserves the right to deny assistance to the household.
In this case, the applicant may re-apply after six months have elapsed from the time of written assistance denial.
C. Each applicant must participate in individual Homebuyer Counseling As required by 24 CFR 92.254 (a)(3) and 24 CFR 5.111, to be provided by a HUD-certified homebuyer counselor employed by an entity approved by HUD to provide housing counseling.
Housing counseling is independent, expert advice customized to the need of the consumer to address the consumer’s housing barriers and to help achieve their housing goals and must include the following processes: intake; financial and housing affordability analysis; an action plan, exept for reverse mortgage counseling; and a reasonable effort to have follow-up communication with the client when possible. The content and process of housing counseling must meet the standards outlinedin 24 CFR part 214, which include:
• Addressing unique financial circumstances or housing issues, • Focusing on ways of overcoming specific obstacles to achieving a housing goal such as repairing credit,
• Addressing a rental dispute, purchasing a home, locating cash for a down payment, and being informed of fair housing and fair lending requirements of the Fair Housing Act,
• Finding units accessible to persons with disabilities, • Avoiding Foreclosure,
• Resolving a Financial crisis,
• Except for reverse mortgage counseling, all counseling shall involve the creation of an action plan
Acceptable forms of housing counseling include in-person, phone, and/or internet, as long as the client and counselor can have an individual dialogue, with guidance and advice tailored to client’s needs. This includes creating a 52 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 6
client budget, financial analysis, and action plan, and referrals to relevant resources such as down payment assistance programs or legal services.
A copy of each borrower’s certificate of completion must be placed into each homebuyer file maintained by the City.
D. The potential homebuyer is given 90 days in order to find a qualified home and begin securing a primary loan for the housing unit. If during the 90-day time frame, the potential homebuyer is unable to purchase a home, an extension may be given. However, if it appears the potential homebuyer cannot participate in the Program, the reservation of funds expires and the next person on the waiting list is given an opportunity to participate in the Program.
1.3. THE HOME PURCHASE PROCESS
A. The following is a simplified example of how a primary lender would analyze a homebuyer’s finances to determine how much the homebuyer could afford to borrow from the primary lender towards homeownership
DEBT SERVICE
FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR EARNING $3,388 PER MONTH
HOUSING PAYMENTS TOTAL OVERALL PAYMENTS
Principal & Interest Payment $ 865 $1,180 Housing
Insurance 82 +200 Other Debt Service
Taxes 233 $1,380 Total Debt Service
Total Housing Expense $1,180 (Overall debt service per month is 41% of $3,388) (PITI is 35% of $3,388)
OTHER HOUSEHOLD DEBT SERVICE
Car Payment $ 150
Credit Card Payment 50
Total Other Debt $ 200
A $865 per month loan payment equates to borrowing $143,000 at 5.88% for a 30-year term.
SUBSIDY CALCULATION
FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR EARNING $3,388 PER MONTH
Purchase Price of Property $ 239,000
Less Primary loan amount 138,000
Less down required down payment 1,000
Equals “GAP” $ 100,000
B. The housing unit selection process will be conducted by the homebuyers. Prior to making an offer to purchase an eligible housing unit (see Section 3.0), homebuyer shall provide seller with a disclosure containing the following provisions:
1) Homebuyer has no power of eminent domain and, therefore, will not acquire the property if negotiations fail to result in an amicable agreement; and
53 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 7
2) Homebuyer’s offer is an estimate of the fair market value of the housing unit, to be finally determined by a state licensed appraiser. 3) The housing unit will be subject to inspection. The housing unit must comply with local codes at the time of construction and local health and safety standards.
4) All housing units built prior to January 1, 1978 will require a lead paint disclosure to be signed by both the homebuyer and Seller (Attachment E); 5) Since the purchase would be voluntary, the seller would not be eligible for relocation payments or other relocation assistance.
6) The seller understands that the housing unit must be either: currently owner-occupied, newly constructed, or vacant for three months prior to submission of the purchase offer.
7) If the seller is not provided with a statement of the above six provisions prior to the purchase offer, the seller may withdraw from the agreement after this information is provided.
C. Applicant submits executed standard form purchase and sale agreement and primary lender prequalification letter to City. The purchase and sale agreement will be contingent on the household and housing unit meeting Program eligibility requirements and receiving Program loan approval. City verifies applicant eligibility, housing unit and loan eligibility and amount of assistance to be provided consistent with these guidelines.
D. At this point, an escrow account should be opened and a tentative date for closing shall be established. The applicant is required to place a minimum of $1,000 deposit in the escrow account and provide a receipt to City. The $1,000 must be applied towards the purchase price of the property and shall not be refunded to the buyer at the close of escrow. The purchase agreement shall be written in such a way that if the sale of the home does not come to completion, the deposited will be returned in full to the applicant. The Title Company is to provide a copy of the Preliminary Title Report. A forty-five to sixty-day escrow is required for all Homeownership loans. It’s the responsibility of the applicant to notify the City that escrow has been opened.
E. When all items are received, City submits a recommendation to the City Loan Advisory Committee (LAC) for approval or denial, including reasons for the recommendation. Any changes to the loan amount, term, rate, etc. on the primary loan shall be approved by the LAC. An exception to this rule would be if the interest rate should change before escrow closes due to unforeseen reason. If this should occur, the Manager of Business Assistance and Housing Development shall have the authority to accept minor changed to the primary loan as long as the applicant still meets minimum housing expense ratio between 25% and 35% and the total debt to income (DTI) falls between 28% and 42%, and does not exceed the HOME requirements stated in the current Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
F. All properties must be inspected and cleared by the City prior to the close of escrow. It is the responsibility of the applicant/agent to schedule an appointment with the City. If the property is in need of repairs, a list of corrections or deficiencies will be submitted to the seller/agent. It will be the responsibility of the parties involved to make the necessary corrections prior to close of escrow. The 54 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 8
property will also be inspected for lead based paint hazards.
G. When requirements are met, program funds are deposited into escrow, with required closing instructions and loan documents.
H. At the time of escrow closing, the City shall be named as an additional loss payee on fire, flood (if required), and extended coverage insurance for the length of the loan and in an amount sufficient to cover all encumbrances or full replacement cost of the housing unit. A policy of Title Insurance naming the City as insured is also required.
1.4. HOMEBUYER COSTS
A. Eligible households must document that they have the funds necessary for down payment and closing costs as required by the Primary Lender and the City. The Program’s down payment requirement (below) is in place even if the Primary Lender has a lower down payment requirement. If the Primary Lender has a higher down payment requirement, there is no additional down payment requirement required by the Program.
B. Homebuyer must contribute a minimum down payment of $1,000 but may contribute more if desired.
C. City will not provide a subsidy that is greater than the amount of the primary mortgage. Additionally, City will not provide a loan greater than $100,000. The subsidy will write down the cost of the primary lender’s loan so that the payments of PITI are within approximately 25% to 35% of the gross household income. The City will determine the level of subsidy and affordability during underwriting of the Program’s loan to make sure that it conforms to the requirements of the HCD funding Program.
1.5. HOMEBUYER EDUCATION
Buying a home can be one of the most confusing and complicated transactions anyone can make. Providing the future homebuyer with informative homebuyer education training, can bring success to the City, the Program and most importantly, the homebuyer.
It has been documented that first-time homebuyers that have had homebuyer education have the ability to handle problems that occur with homeownership.
All Program participants are required to receive housing counseling prior to Program approval, delivered by a HUD-certified housing counselor who works for an organization certified by HUD to perform housing counseling. A list of such counseling entities is at https://apps.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm?searchstate=CA&filterLng=&filterSvc=&filter MultiState=&searchName=&searchCity=&searchZip=&searchService=PPC&searchLang=&search Affiliation=&webListAction=Search. See section 1.2.C above for housing counseling requirements.
1.6. CONFLICT OF INTEREST REQUIREMENTS
55 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 9
When the City’s program contains Federal funds, the applicable Conflict of Interest requirements of 24 CFR Section 570.611 shall be followed for CDBG assistance. Section
92.356 of the HOME Final Rule shall be followed for HOME assistance, as follows:
(a) Conflicts prohibited. No persons described in paragraph (b) of this section who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to activities assisted with HOME funds or who are in a position to participate in a decision making process or gain inside information with regard to these activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from a HOME-assisted activity, or have a financial interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement with respect to the HOME-assisted activity, or the proceeds from such activity, either for themselves or those with whom they have business or immediate family ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter. Immediate family ties include (whether by blood, marriage or adoption) the spouse, parent (including stepparent), child (including stepchild), brother, sister (including a stepbrother or stepsister), grandparent, grandchild and in-laws of a covered person. (b) Persons covered. The conflict-of-interest provisions of paragraph (a) of this section apply to any person who is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected official or appointed official of the participating jurisdiction, State recipient, or subrecipient which are receiving HOME funds.
(c) Exceptions: Threshold requirements. Upon the written request of the participating jurisdiction to HCD, HUD may grant an exception to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section on a case-by-case basis when it determines that the exception will serve to further the purposes of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and the effective and efficient administration of the participating jurisdiction's program or project. See 24 CFR
92.356(d)(1-6) for details on the documentation needed in order to submit an exception request to HUD.
A contractor with a vested interest in the property cannot bid on a rehabilitation job. Such a contractor may act as owner/builder, subject to standard construction procedures.
Owner/builders are reimbursed for materials purchased which are verified by invoice/receipt and used on the job. Reimbursement occurs after the installation is verified by the Program Operator to be part of the scope of work. Owner/builders are not reimbursed for labor.
1.7. NON-DISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS
The Program will be implemented in ways consistent with the City’s commitment to nondiscrimination. No person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefit of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part with State funds on the basis of his or her religion or religious affiliation, age, race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, familial status (children), physical or mental disability, national origin, or ancestry, or other arbitrary cause.
2.0 APPLICANT QUALIFICATIONS
2.1. CURRENT INCOME LIMITS FOR THE AREA, BY HOUSEHOLD SIZE All applicants must certify that they meet the household income eligibility requirements for the applicable HCD program(s) and have their household income documented. The 56 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 10
income limits in place at the time of loan approval will apply when determining applicant income eligibility. All applicants must have incomes at or below 80% of the County’s area median income (AMI), adjusted for household size, as published by HCD. (Attachment C).
Household: Means one or more persons who will occupy a housing unit. Unborn children count in family size determination.
Annual Income: Generally, the gross amount of income of all adult household members that is anticipated to be received during the coming 12-month period.
2.2. MINIMUM CREDIT SCORE
All applicants must have a minimum credit score of at least 620 and demonstrate the ability to receive a prime interest rate no more than 1% of the Fannie Mae 90 day published rate.
Additionally, applicant can’t have had a Foreclosure or Bankruptcy in the past two (2) years.
2.3. INCOME QUALIFICATION CRITERIA
Projected annual gross income of the applicant household will be used to determine whether they are above or below the published HCD income limits. Income qualification criteria, as shown in the most recent HCD program-specific guidance at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/fa/cdbg/GuideFedPrograms.html, will be followed to independently determine and certify the household’s annual gross income. The City should compare this annual gross income to the income the Primary Lender used when qualifying the household. The Primary Lender is usually underwriting to FHA or conventional guidelines and may not calculate the household income or assets in the same way as required by the Program. Income will be verified by reviewing and documenting tax returns, copies of wage receipts, subsidy checks, bank statements and third-party verification of employment forms sent to employers. All documentation shall be dated within six months prior to loan closing and kept in the applicant file and held in strict confidence.
A. HOUSEHOLD INCOME DEFINITION:
Household income is the annual gross income of all adult household members that is projected to be received during the coming 12-month period and will be used to determine program eligibility. Refer to Income Inclusions and Exclusions for further guidance to the types of incomes to be included or excluded when calculating gross annual income. For those types of income counted, gross amounts (before any deductions have been taken) are used. Two types of income that are not considered would be income of minors and live-in aides. Certain other household members living apart from the household also require special consideration. The household’s projected ability to pay must be used, rather than past earnings, when calculating income.
The link to Annual Income Inclusions and Exclusions is:
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/fa/cdbg/FedProgGuideDocs/AppendixB_AnnualIncomeInc lusionsExclusions.doc
57 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 11
See Attachment A: 24 CFR Part 5 Annual Income Inclusions and Exclusions B. ASSETS:
There is no asset limitation for participation in the Program. Income from assets, however, is recognized as part of annual income under the Part 5 definition. An asset is a cash or non-cash item that can be converted to cash. The value of necessary items such as furniture and automobiles are not included. (Note: it is the income earned – e.g. interest on a savings account – not the asset value, which is counted in annual income.)
An asset’s cash value is the market value less reasonable expenses required to convert the asset to cash, including, for example, penalties or fees for converting financial holdings, and costs for selling real property. The cash value (rather than the market value) of an item is counted as an asset.

See Attachment B: Part 5 Annual Income Net Family Asset Inclusions and Exclusions
2.4. DEFINITION OF AN ELIGIBLE HOMEBUYER
For CDBG, an eligible homebuyer means an individual or individuals or an individual and his or her spouse who meets the income eligibility requirements and is/are not currently on title to real property. Persons may be on title of a manufactured home unit, who are planning to sell the unit as part of buying a home located on real property. Documentation of homebuyer status will be required for all homebuyers. CDBG-funded programs may assist eligible homebuyers who are not “first-time” homebuyers.
HOME -funded Programs are required to use the following definition of an eligible homebuyer, which is a “first-time homebuyer” from 8201(l) Title 25 California Code of Regulations:
“First-time homebuyer” means an individual or individuals or an individual and his or her spouse who have not owned a home during the three-year period before the purchase of a home with subsidy assistance, except that the following individual or individuals may not be excluded from consideration as a first-time homebuyer under this definition:
1. a displaced homemaker who, while a homemaker, owned a home with his or her spouse or resided in a home owned by the spouse. A displaced homemaker is an adult who has not, within the preceding two years, worked on a full-time basis as a member of the labor force for a consecutive twelve-month period and who has been unemployed or underemployed, experienced difficulty in obtaining or upgrading employment and worked primarily without remuneration to care for his 58 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 12
or her home and family;
2. a single parent who, while married, owned a home with his or her spouse or resided in a home owned by the spouse. A single parent is an individual who is unmarried or legally separated from a spouse and has one or more minor children for whom the individual has custody or joint custody or is pregnant; or
3. an individual or individuals who owns or owned, as a principal residence during the three-year period before the purchase of a home with assistance, a dwelling unit whose structure is:
a. not permanently affixed to a permanent foundation in accordance with local or state regulations; or
b. not in compliance with state, local, or model building codes and cannot be brought into compliance with such codes for less than the cost of constructing a permanent structure.
3.0. HOUSING UNIT ELIGIBILITY
3.1. LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS
A. Housing units to be purchased must be located within the eligible area. The eligible area is described as follows: “Within the City-limits of Oroville”.
B. Housing unit types eligible for the homebuyer Program are new or previously owned single-family residences; condominiums; or manufactured homes in mobile home parks, in common-interest developments or on a single-family lot and placed on a permanent foundation system. HOME does not allow manufactured homes unless on a permanent foundation system.
C. All housing units must be in compliance with State and local codes and ordinances.
D. Housing units located within a 100-year flood zone will be required to provide proof of flood insurance with an endorsement naming the City limits of Oroville as loss payee in order to close escrow.
E. Housing that is for acquisition by a family must meet the affordability requirements of this paragraph (a).
(1) The housing must be single-family housing.(2) The housing must be “modest” housing as follows:
(i) In the case of acquisition of newly constructed housing or standard housing, the housing has a purchase price for the type of single family housing that does not exceed 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area, as described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section. (ii) If a participating jurisdiction intends to use HOME funds for homebuyer assistance, the participating jurisdiction must use the 59 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 13
HOME affordable homeownership limits provided by HUD for newly constructed housing and for existing housing. HUD will provide limits for affordable newly constructed housing based on 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area using Federal Housing Administration(FHA) single family mortgage program data for newly constructed housing, with a minimum limit based on 95 percent of the U.S. median purchase price for new construction for nonmetropolitan areas. HUD will provide limits for affordable existing housing based on 95 percent of the median purchase price for the area using Federal FHA single family mortgage program data for existing housing data and other appropriate data that are available nation-wide for sales of existing housing, with a minimum limit based on 95 percent of the state-wide nonmetropolitan area median purchase price using this data. In lieu of the limits provided by HUD, the participating jurisdiction may determine 95 percent of the median area purchase price for single family housing in the jurisdiction annually, as follows. The participating jurisdiction must set forth the price for different types of single family housing for the jurisdiction. The participating jurisdiction may determine separate limits for existing housing and newly constructed housing. For housing located outside of metropolitan areas, a State may aggregate sales data from more than one county, if the counties are contiguous and similarly situated. The following information must be included in the annual action plan of the Consolidated Plan submitted to HUD for review and updated in each action plan.
3.2. CONDITIONS
A. Construction Inspection and Determining Need for Repairs.
Once the participating homebuyer has executed a purchase agreement for a housing unit, and prior to a commitment of Program funds, the following steps must be taken for the housing unit to be eligible for purchase under the Program:
1) When the City’s Program utilizes Federal funds and if the housing unit was constructed prior to 1978 then the lead-based paint requirements of Section 3.2.C will apply.
2) The City or a certified housing inspector representative will walk through the housing unit, determine if it is structurally sound, and identify any code related and health and safety deficiencies that need to be corrected. A list of code related repair items will be given to the homebuyers and their Realtor to be negotiated with the seller. Only new construction and homes built within the previous 12 months and not previously occupied are not subject to a home inspection.
3) Upon completion of all work required by the City, appraiser, pest inspector and/or certified housing inspector, a final inspection will be conducted prior 60 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 14
to close of escrow. The inspector will sign off on all required construction work assuring that each housing unit receiving Program assistance is in compliance with local codes and health and safety requirements at the time of purchase and prior to occupancy.
B. Per Section 8208 of the State HOME regulations, no additional HOME assistance, including rehabilitation funds, may be provided during the period starting one year following the filing of the Project Completion Report through the end of the Affordability Period.
The HOME Affordability Period is as follows (amount does not include Activity Delivery Costs paid to the State Recipient by HCD):
Amount of HOME Assistance Period of Affordability in Years Under $15,000 5 years
$15,000 to $40,000 10 years
Over $40,000 15 years
C. Lead-Based Paint Hazards: All housing units built prior to 1978 for which HOME or CDBG funding is anticipated are subject to the requirements of this section 3.2.C.
Such homes must undergo a visual assessment by a person who has taken HUD’s online Visual Assessment course. Deteriorated paint must be stabilized using work safe methods. Clearance must be obtained after paint stabilization by a DHS certified LBP Risk Assessor/Inspector. HOME and CDBG general administrative and activity delivery funds may be used to pay for lead-based paint visual assessments, and if lead mitigation and clearance costs are incurred, these programs may incorporate the costs into the calculation of Program assistance.
The following requirements must be met:
1) Notification: a) Prior to homebuyer’s obligation to purchase a pre-1978 home, the Buyer will be given the most recent copy of and asked to read the EPA pamphlet “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home” (EPA 747-K-94-001). A signed receipt of the pamphlet will be kept in the Sponsor’s homebuyer file; b) A notice to residents is required following a risk assessment/inspection using form DHS 8552, which is provided by the DHS-certified Risk Assessor/Inspector; c) a notice to residents is required following lead-based paint mitigation work using Visual Assessment and Lead-based Paint Notice of Presumption and Hazard Reduction form, LBP – 1 (Attachment H).
2) Disclosure: Prior to the homebuyer’s obligation to purchase a pre-1978 housing unit, the HUD disclosure (Attachment E), “Seller’s Lead-based Paint Disclosure” notice must be provided by the seller to the homebuyer. 3) Inspections: The Inspector shall conduct a “Visual Assessment” of all the dwelling unit’s painted surfaces in order to identify deteriorated paint. All deteriorated paint will be stabilized in accordance with CFR 35.1330 (a) and (b); and a Clearance shall be made in accordance with CFR 35.1340. 61 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 15
4) Mitigation: If stabilization is required, the contractor performing the mitigation work must use appropriately trained workers. Prior to the contractor starting mitigation work the Program Operator shall obtain copies of the contractor’s and workers’ appropriate proof of LBP training, as applicable to the job in order to assure that only qualified contractors and workers are allowed to perform the mitigation.
D. The City will: 1) confirm that the housing unit is within the eligible area, 2) will review each proposed housing unit to ensure that it meets all eligibility criteria before funding, and 3) ensure a completed Lead Compliance Document Checklist is placed in each purchaser’s file (see Attachment I).
3.3 ANTI-DISPLACEMENT POLICY AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE
Eligible homes will be those that are currently owner-occupied or have been vacant for three months prior to the acceptance of a contract to purchase. A unit is ineligible if its purchase would result in the displacement of a tenant. It is not anticipated that the implementation of the Program will result in the displacement of any persons, households, or families. However, if tenant-occupied homes are included in the Program and relocation becomes necessary, the activity will be carried out in compliance with City’s relocation plan, which describes how those permanently displaced will be relocated and paid benefits in accordance with the following Federal laws.
A. Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA) and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970
The federal URA and Real Property Acquisition Policies, as amended by the URA Amendments of 1987, contains requirements for carrying out real property acquisition or the displacement of a person, regardless of income status, for a project or program for which HUD financial assistance (including CDBG and HOME) is provided. Requirements governing real property acquisition are described in Chapter VIII. The implementing regulations, 49 CFR Part 24, require developers and owners to take certain steps in regard to tenants of housing to be acquired, rehabbed or demolished, including tenants who will not be relocated even temporarily.
B. Section104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 Section 104(d) requires each contractor (CHDO or State Recipient), as a condition of receiving assistance under HOME or CDBG, to certify that it is following a residential anti-displacement plan and relocation assistance plan. Section 104(d) also requires relocation benefits to be provided to low-income persons who are physically displaced or economically displaced as the result of a HOME or CDBG assisted project, and requires the replacement of low-income housing, which is 62 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 16
demolished or converted. The implementing regulations for Section 104(d) can be found in 24 CFR Part 570(a).
3.4. PROPER NOTIFICATION AND DISCLOSURES
A. Upon selection of a housing unit, a qualified seller and homebuyer will be given the necessary disclosures for the Program. The homebuyer must have read and signed all Program disclosure forms. Any and all property disclosures must be reviewed and signed by the homebuyer and seller.
B. All owners who wish to sell their housing units must receive an acquisition notice (Attachment F) prior to submission of the homebuyer’s original offer. This notice will be included in the contract and must be signed by all owners on title. The disclosure must contain the items listed in 1.3.B. (required for federally-funded programs).
4.0. PURCHASE PRICE LIMITS
The purchase price limits for this Program shall not exceed the Maximum HOME Program Purchase Price/After-Rehab Value Limit for Sponsor’s County as updated by HCD.
Note: For HOME and CDBG-funded Programs the value cannot exceed the Maximum Purchase Price/After-Rehabilitation Value Limits as established by HCD and HUD.
Attachment C: MAXIMUM PURCHASE PRICE/AFTER-REHAB VALUE LIMITS *City will update these limits annually as HCD provides new information.
5.0. THE PRIMARY LOAN
Prior to obtaining a loan from the City, a homebuyer must provide evidence of financing for the maximum amount the Primary Lender is willing to loan (the “primary loan”).
A. QUALIFYING RATIOS
The front-end (housing) debt-to-income ratio shall be between 25% and 35% and is the percentage of a borrower’s gross monthly income (before deductions) that would cover the cost of the loan principal and interest payment, property taxes, property insurance, mortgage insurance, and HOA dues, if any.
The back-end (total) debt-to-income ratio shall be between 28% and 42% and is the percentage of a borrower’s gross monthly income that would cover the cost of housing as described in the paragraph above, plus any other monthly debt payments like car or personal loans and credit card debt, as well as child support and alimony payments.
B. INTEREST RATE

The primary loan must have a fixed interest rate that does not exceed, by greater than one percent, the FNMA 90-day rate, found at: https://singlefamily.fanniemae.com/pricingexecution/historical-daily-required-net-yields.
The applicable FNMA rate should be from the date the primary mortgage rate was locked, or else the date of loan approval. No temporary interest rate buy-downs are permitted.
C. LOAN TYPE AND TERM
The primary loan shall be fully amortized and have a term “all due and payable” in no fewer than 30 years. There shall not be a balloon payment due before the maturity date of the Program loan. Additionally, stated income, adjustable rate mortgage, interest only and balloon payments due before maturity date are not allowed.
D. IMPOUND ACCOUNT
All households will be required to have impound accounts for the payment of taxes and insurance to ensure they remain current.
6.0. THE PROGRAM LOAN
The amount of Program assistance to a homebuyer toward purchase of a home shall not exceed the maximum HOME subsidy limit for City’s County per bedroom per the HCD website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/financial-assistance/home-investment-partnershipsprogram/homelimits.html and shall never exceed the amount of the primary mortgage.
See Attachment C of these Program Guidelines for current limits. Any approved “grant” amount for lead-based paint evaluation and reduction activities or for relocation assistance shall be included in this amount, as shall Activity Delivery Costs.
B. NON-RECURRING CLOSING COSTS
Non-recurring costs such as credit report, escrow, closing and recording fees, and title report and title insurance, title updates and/or related costs may be included in the Program loan.
C. AFFORDABILITY PARAMETERS FOR HOMEBUYERS
The actual amount of a buyer’s Program subsidy shall be computed according to the housing ratio parameters specified in Section 5.0.A. Each borrower shall receive only the subsidy needed to allow them to become homeowners (“the Gap”) while keeping their housing costs affordable. The City will use the “front-end ratio” of housing-expense-toincome to determine if the amount of the proposed primary loan is acceptable and, ultimately, the Program subsidy amount required, bridging the gap between the acquisition cost (purchase price plus closing costs) less down payment, and the amount of the primary loan.
D. RATE AND TERMS FOR PROGRAM LOAN
All Program assistance to individual households shall be made in the form of deferred payment (interest and principal) loan (DPL).
64 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 18
The Program loan’s term shall be for at least as long as the primary loan. The interest rate shall be 3% simple interest per annum for the first fifteen (15) years of the term. On the fifteenth (15th) year following the date of the loan execution, simple interest will stop accruing and 50% of the interest accrued thus far will be forgiven. On the twentieth (20th) year following the date of loan execution, all interest shall be forgiven and only the principal loan amount is due.
All Program loan payments shall be deferred because the borrowers will have their repayment ability fully utilized under the primary loan. Loan principal shall not be forgiven, and the loan period cannot be extended, except for loans that are resubordinated when a rate and term refinance is approved, per Attachment D.
E. COMBINED LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO
The loan-to-value ratio for a Program loan, when combined with all other indebtedness to be secured by the property, shall not exceed 100 percent of the sales price plus a maximum of up to 5 percent of the sales price to cover actual closing costs.
6.1 LOAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE PURPOSE AND COMPOSITION
1. Loan Advisory Committee Purpose- the function of the LAC will be to review and act on applications for financing recommended by the Housing staff. The LAC shall specifically review funding proposals and base their recommendation on eligibility, compliance with all program requirements, consistency of staff recommendations regarding the type of assistance. The LAC will also review/approve program guidelines changes and make recommendation to council to approve or deny the changes.
2. Composition- The LAC will consist of three (3) members of the City Council to be appointed by majority vote of the City Council for a maximum two-year term; two (2) individuals that reside in the Oroville City limits and/or own a business or work within the City Limits of Oroville., to be appointed by majority vote of the City Council for a maximum two-year term; two (2) individual alternates to be appointed by the City Council.

7.2. RECEIVING LOAN PAYMENTS
A. Program loan payments will be made to:
City of Oroville
Business Assistance and Housing Development
1735 Montgomery St.
65 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 19
Oroville CA 95965
B. The City will be the receiver of loan payments or recaptured funds and will maintain a financial record-keeping system to record payments and file statements on payment status. Payments shall be deposited and accounted for in the City’s Program Income Account, as required by HCD programs. The Program lender will accept loan payments from borrowers prepaying deferred loans, and from borrowers making payments in full upon sale or transfer of the property. All loan payments are payable to the City. The City may at its discretion, enter into an agreement with a third party to collect and distribute payments and/or complete all loan servicing aspects of the Program.
7.3. DUE UPON SALE OR TRANSFER
In the event that an owner sells, transfers title, or discontinues residence in the purchased property for any reason, the principal balance of the DPL is due and payable, except:
A. The owner shall be assured a fair return on investment including the owner’s investment and any capital improvement. If the Net proceeds are insufficient for the City to recapture the balance of Program Loan owed, the City shall share the Net proceeds with the owner in proportion to each party’s investment in the property. The Net proceeds are the sales price less repayment of the primary loan, and closing costs.
B. If the owner of the property dies, and the heir to the property meets income requirements, the First-Time Homebuyer definition, and intends to occupy the home as a principal residence, the heir may be permitted, upon approval of the City, to assume the loan at the rate and terms the heir qualifies for under the current participation guidelines. If the property owner dies and the heir does not meet eligibility requirements, the loan is due and payable.
C. If an owner wants to convert the property to a rental unit, or any commercial or non-residential use, the loan is due and payable.
D. The loan will be in default if the borrower fails to maintain required fire or flood insurance or fails to pay property taxes. See Attachment D on loan defaults for further information on property restrictions.
7.4. LOAN SERVICING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
See Attachment D for local loan servicing policies and procedures. While the attached policy outlines a system that can accommodate a crisis that restricts borrower repayment ability, it should in no way be misunderstood: The loan must be repaid. All legal means to ensure the repayment of a delinquent loan as outlined in the Loan Servicing Policies and Procedures will be pursued.
7.5. LOAN MONITORING PROCEDURES
City will monitor Borrowers and their housing units annually to ensure adherence to Program requirements including, but not limited to, the following:
66 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 20
A. Owner-occupancy
B. Property tax payment
C. Hazard insurance coverage
D. Good standing on Primary loans
E. General upkeep of housing units
8.0. PROGRAM LOAN PROCESSING AND APPROVAL
A. Loan Processing
All homebuyers or their representatives will be sent out an eligibility packet with all the necessary forms, disclosures, information, and application. They should submit a complete application packet with all the City’s Program loan documents executed as well as all the information from the Primary Lender. The Primary Lender should submit: 1) accepted property sales contract with proper seller notification; 2) mortgage application with good faith estimates and first mortgage disclosures; 3) full mortgage credit report and rent verification; 4) current third party income verifications and verifications of assets; 5) homeownership education certificate, if applicable; and 6) signed underwriting transmittal summary and final signed loan application, both from primary lender. Staff will work with local lenders to ensure qualified participants receive only the benefit from the City’s Program needed to purchase the housing unit and that leveraged funds will be used when possible.
B. Creditworthiness
Qualifying ratios are only a rough guideline in determining a potential borrower’s creditworthiness. Many factors such as excellent or poor credit history, amount of down payment, and size of loan will influence the decision to approve or disapprove a particular loan. The borrower’s credit history will be reviewed by the City and documentation of such maintained in the loan file. The City may elect to obtain a credit report or rely on a current copy obtained by the primary lender.
C. Documents from Primary Lender
After initial review of the qualified homebuyer's application packet, the City will request any additional documents needed. Documents may be faxed, but originals shall be received through the mail before Program funds are committed to escrow.
Based on receipt and review of the final documents, the City will do an income certification (using most recent HCD program’s guidance on income calculation and determination), and homebuyer certification (review of credit report and income taxes). Documentation of affordability will then be verified and subsidy requirement determined.
D. Disclosure of Program and Loan Information to Homebuyers The Program’s application and disclosure forms will contain a summary of the loan qualifications of the borrower with and without Program assistance. Housing ratios with and without Program assistance are also outlined in these guidelines. 67 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 21
Information on the Program’s application will be documented with third party verifications in the file. For example, the sales contact will provide the final purchase price and outline how much of the closing costs are to be paid by the seller, etc. The appraisal, termite and title report will provide information to substantiate the information in the sales contract and guide the construction inspection. The Program loan application will provide current debt and housing information and will be documented by the credit report and income/asset verifications. The Primary Lender’s approval letter and estimated closing cost statement should reflect all the information in the loan package and show any contingencies of loan funding. Reviewing the Primary Lender’s loan underwriting documentation will provide basic information about the qualification of the applicant and substantiate the affordability provided by the Program loan. By reviewing and crosschecking all the Primary Lender information, the final Program loan amount approved will fall within the affordability parameters of the Program.
8.1. COMPLETION OF UNDERWRITING AND APPROVAL OF PROGRAM LOAN Once the loan approval package has been completed City will review the request and may approve it with or without conditions. Upon approval, a final closing date for escrow is set and Program funds are accessed for the homebuyer.
8.2. PRIMARY AND PROGRAM LOAN DOCUMENT SIGNING
The homebuyer(s) sign promissory notes, loan agreements, deeds of trust, and statutory lending notices (Truth In Lending (TIL), etc.); the Deeds of Trust are recorded with the County Clerk/Recorder at the same time, and the request(s) for copy of Notice of Default are also recorded with the County Clerk/Recorder.
8.3. ESCROW PROCEDURES
The escrow/title company shall review the escrow instruction provided by the Program lender and shall issue a California Land Title Association (CLTA) and the American Land Title Association (ALTA) after closing. The CLTA policy is issued to the homebuyer and protects them against failure of title based on public records and against such unrecorded risks as forgery of a deed. The ALTA is issued to each lender providing additional coverage for the physical aspects of the property as well as the homebuyer’s title failure.
These aspects include anything which can be determined by only physical inspection, such as correct survey lines; encroachments; mechanics liens; mining claims and water rights. The Program lender instructs the escrow/title company in the escrow instructions as to what may show on the policy; the amount of insurance on the policy (all liens should be covered) and the loss payee (each lender should be listed as a loss payee and receive an original ALTA).
9.0. SUBORDINATE FINANCING
With today’s high costs, in order for a low-income household to obtain a home, several funding sources might be required. Subordinate loans may be used to cover mortgage subsidy costs that exceed the Program maximum loan amount. All subordinate liens must have the payments deferred and the term must be for at least as long as the term of the Program loan.
68 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 22
10.0. EXCEPTIONS AND SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
The City may make amendments to these Participation Guidelines. Any changes shall be made in accordance with regulations and approved by the City Council. Changes shall then be sent to HCD for approval.
10.1. DEFINITION OF EXCEPTION
Any case to which a standard policy or procedure, as stated in the guidelines, does not apply or an applicant treated differently from others of the same class would be an exception.
10.2. PROCEDURES FOR EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
A. The City or its agent may initiate consideration of an exception and prepare a report. This report shall contain a narrative, including the City’s recommended course of action and any written or verbal information supplied by the applicant.
B. The City shall make a determination of the exception. The request can be presented to the City’s loan committee and/or governing body for a decision.
11.0. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND APPEALS PROCEDURE
Any applicant denied assistance from the Program has the right to appeal. Complaints concerning the Program should be made to the City first. If unresolved in this manner, the complaint or appeal must be made in writing and filed with the City. The City will then schedule a meeting with the Loan Review Committee. Their written response will be made within thirty (30) working days. If the applicant is not satisfied with the Committee's decision, a request for an appeal may be filed with the City’s governing body. Final appeal must be filed in writing with HCD within one year after denial.
The Appeals Board is made up of three (3) members, consisting of the Mayor and two (2) City Council members to be appointed by the Mayor. The two council members appointed by the Mayor cannot be the same as the LAC members.

LOAN SERVICING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
FOR CITY OF OROVILLE
The City of Oroville, hereafter called “Lender,” has adopted these policies and procedures in order to preserve its financial interest in properties whose “Borrowers” have been assisted with public funds. The Lender will to the greatest extent possible follow these policies and procedures, but each loan will be evaluated and handled on a case-by-case basis. The Lender has formulated this document to comply with state and federal regulations regarding the use of these public funds and any property restrictions, which are associated with them.
The policies and procedures are broken down into the following areas: 1) making required monthly payments or voluntary payments on a loan’s principal and interest; 2) required payment of property taxes and insurance; 3) required Request for Notice of Default on all second mortgages; 4) loans with annual occupancy restrictions and certifications 5) required noticing and limitations on any changes in title or use of property; 6) required noticing and process for requesting a subordination during a refinance; 7) processing of foreclosure in case of default on the loan.
1. Loan Repayments:
The Lender will collect monthly payments from those borrowers who are obligated to do so under Notes which are amortized promissory notes. Late fees will be charged for payments received after the assigned monthly due date.
For Notes which are deferred payment loans, the Lender must accept voluntary payments on the loan. Loan payments will be credited to principal. The Borrower may repay the loan balance at any time with no penalty.
2. Payment of Property Taxes and Insurance:
As part of keeping the loan from going into default, borrower must maintain property insurance coverage naming the Lender as loss payee. Except for HOME-funded loans, if borrower fails to maintain the necessary insurance, the Lender may take out force placed insurance to cover the property while the Borrower puts a new insurance policy in place. All costs for installing the necessary insurance will be added to the loan balance at time of installation of Borrower’s new insurance.
When a property is located in a 100-year flood plain, the Borrower will be required to carry the necessary flood insurance. A certificate of insurance for flood and for standard property insurance with an endorsement naming the City of Oroville as lender loss payee will be required at close of escrow. The lender will verify the insurance on an annual basis.
Property taxes must be kept current during the term of the loan. If the Borrower fails to maintain payment of property taxes then the lender may pay the taxes current and add the balance of the tax payment plus any penalties to the balance of the loan (not permissible when funded with HOME). Wherever possible, the Lender encourages Borrower to have impound accounts set up with their first mortgagee wherein they pay their taxes and insurance as part of their monthly mortgage payment.
3. Required Request for Notice of Default:
78 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 32
When the Borrower’s loan is in second position behind an existing first mortgage, it is the Lender's policy to prepare and record a "Request for Notice of Default" for each senior lien in front of Lender’s loan. This document requires any senior lienholder listed in the notice to notify the lender of initiation of a foreclosure action. The Lender will then have time to contact the Borrower and assist them in bringing the first loan current, if possible. The Lender can also monitor the foreclosure process and go through the necessary analysis to determine if the loan can be made whole or preserved. When the Lender is in a third position and receives notification of foreclosure from only one senior lienholder, it is in their best interest to contact any other senior lienholders regarding the status of their loans.
4. Annual Occupancy Restrictions and Certifications:
On owner-occupant loans, the Lender will require that Borrowers submit utility bills and/or other documentation annually to prove occupancy during the term of the loan. For CDBG, some loans may have income and housing cost evaluations, which require a household to document that they are not able to make amortized loan payments, typically every five years. These loan terms are incorporated in the original Note and Deed of Trust. On HOME-funded loans, annual occupancy verification will occur between January 1 and June 30 of each year.
5. Required Noticing and Restrictions on Any Changes of Title or Occupancy:
In all cases where there is a change in title or occupancy or use, the Borrower must notify the Lender in writing of any change. Lender and Borrower will work together to ensure the property is kept in compliance with the original Program terms and conditions such that it remains available as an affordable home for low-income families. These types of changes are typical when Borrowers do estate planning (adding a relative to title) or if a Borrower dies and property is transferred to heirs or when the property is sold or transferred as part of a business transaction.
In some cases, the Borrower may move and turn the property into a rental unit without notifying the Lender. Changes in title or occupancy must be in keeping with the objective of benefit to lowincome households (below 80 percent of AMI).
Change from owner-occupant to owner-occupant occurs at a sale. When a new owner-occupant is not low-income, the loan is not assumable and the loan balance is immediately due and payable. If the new owner-occupant qualifies as low-income, the purchaser may either pay the loan in full or assume all loan repayment obligations of the original owner-occupant, subject to the approval of the Lender’s Loan Committee (depends on the HCD program).
If a transfer of the property occurs through inheritance, the heir (as owner-occupant) may be provided the opportunity to assume the loan at an interest rate based on household size and household income, provided the heir is income eligible. If the heir intends to occupy the property and is not low-income, the balance of the loan is due and payable. For CDBG only, if the heir intends to act as an owner-investor (not permitted under HOME), the balance of the loan may be converted to an owner/investor interest rate and loan term and a rent limitation agreement is signed and recorded on title. All such changes are subject to the review and approval of the Lender’s Loan Committee.
Change from owner-occupant to owner-investor occurs when an owner-occupant decides to move out and rent the assisted property, or if the property is sold to an investor. If the owner converts any assisted unit from owner-occupied to rental, the loan is due in full. 79 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 33
Conversion to use other than residential use is not allowable where the full use of the property is changed from residential to commercial or other. In some cases, Borrowers may request that the Lender allow for a partial conversion where some of the residence is used for a business but the household still resides in the property. Partial conversions can be allowed if it is reviewed and approved by any and all agencies required by local statute. If the use of the property is converted to a fully non-residential use, the loan balance is due and payable.
6. Requests for Subordinations:
When a Borrower wishes to refinance their existing first mortgage, they must submit a subordination request to the Sponsor. The Sponsor will subordinate their loan only when there is no “cash out” as part of the refinance. No cash out means there are no additional charges on the transaction above loan and escrow closing fees. There can be no third-party debt payoffs or additional encumbrances on the property above traditional refinance transaction costs. The refinance should lower the existing housing cost of the household. The total indebtedness on the property should not exceed the current market value except when the borrower is obtaining a HARP II or other similar federally approved refinance loan. If the HARP II or other similar financing is approved and meets all other requirements, combined Loan-To-Value will not be considered when reviewing the subordination request.
Also, the loan must:
1. be fully amortized and have a fixed interest rate that does not exceed the current market rate, as established by an index identified in the most recent NOFA;
2. not have a temporary interest rate buy-down;
3. have a term “all due and payable” that matures prior to or concurrently with the maturity date of the Promissory Note. Therefore, the maturity date of the existing Promissory Note should be modified to coincide with the maturity date of the new first mortgage; and,
4. not have a balloon payment due before the maturity date of the Program loan.
Upon receiving the proper documentation from the refinance lender, the request will be considered by the Manager of Business Assistance and Housing Development for review and approval. Upon approval, the escrow company will provide the proper subordination document for execution and recordation by the Sponsor.
7. Process for Loan Foreclosure:
Upon any condition of loan default: 1) non-payment; 2) lack of insurance or property tax payment; 3) change in title or use without approval; 4) default on senior loans, the Lender will send out a letter to the Borrower notifying them of the default situation. If the default situation continues then the Lender may start a formal process of foreclosure.
When a senior lienholder starts a foreclosure process and the Lender is notified via a Request for Notice of Default, the Lender, who is the junior lienholder, may cancel the foreclosure proceedings by "reinstating" the senior lienholder. The reinstatement amount or payoff amount must be obtained by contacting the senior lienholder. This amount will include all delinquent payments, late charges and fees to date. Lender must confer with Borrower to determine if, upon paying the senior lienholder current, the Borrower can provide future payments. If this is the case, then the Lender may cure the foreclosure and add the costs to the balance of the loan with a Notice of Additional Advance on the existing note.
80 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 34
If the Lender determines, based on information on the reinstatement amount and status of Borrower, that bringing the loan current will not preserve the loan, then staff must determine if it is cost effective to protect their position by paying off the senior lienholder in total and restructure the debt such that the unit is made affordable to the Borrower. If the Lender does not have sufficient funds to pay the senior lienholder in full, then they may choose to cure the senior lienholder and foreclose on the property themselves. As long as there is sufficient value in the property, the Lender can afford to pay for the foreclosure process and pay off the senior lienholder and retain some or all of their investment.
If the Lender decides to reinstate, the senior lienholder will accept the amount to reinstate the loan up until five (5) days prior to the set "foreclosure sale date." This "foreclosure sale date" usually occurs about four (4) to six (6) months from the date of recording of the "Notice of Default." If the Lender fails to reinstate the senior lienholder before five (5) days prior to the foreclosure sale date, the senior lienholder would then require a full pay off of the balance, plus costs, to cancel foreclosure. If the Lender determines the reinstatement and maintenance of the property not to be cost effective and allows the senior lienholder to complete foreclosure, the Lender's lien may be eliminated due to insufficient sales proceeds.
Lender as Senior Lienholder
When the Lender is first position as a senior lienholder, active collection efforts will begin on any loan that is 31 or more days in arrears. Attempts will be made to assist the homeowner in bringing and keeping the loan current. These attempts will be conveyed in an increasingly urgent manner until loan payments have reached 90 days in arrears, at which time the Lender may consider foreclosure. Lender’s staff will consider the following factors before initiating foreclosure:
1) Can the loan be cured and can the rates and terms be adjusted to allow for affordable payments such that foreclosure is not necessary?
2) Can the Borrower refinance with a private lender and pay off the Lender? 3) Can the Borrower sell the property and pay off the Lender? 4) Does the balance warrant foreclosure? (If the balance is under $5,000, the expense to foreclose may not be worth pursuing.)
5) Will the sales price of home "as is" cover the principal balance owing, necessary advances, (maintain fire insurance, maintain or bring current delinquent property taxes, monthly yard maintenance, periodic inspections of property to prevent vandalism, etc.) foreclosure, and marketing costs?
If the balance is substantial and all of the above factors have been considered, the Lender may opt to initiate foreclosure. The Borrower must receive, by certified mail, a thirty-day notification of foreclosure initiation. This notification must include the exact amount of funds to be remitted to the Lender to prevent foreclosure (such as, funds to bring a delinquent BMIR current or pay off a DPL).
At the end of thirty days, the Lender should contact a reputable foreclosure service or local title company to prepare and record foreclosure documents and make all necessary notifications to the owner and junior lienholders. The service will advise the Lender of all required documentation to initiate foreclosure (Note and Deed of Trust usually) and funds required from the owner to 81 Item 11.
City of Oroville Homebuyer Program Guidelines Page 35
cancel foreclosure proceedings. The service will keep the Lender informed of the progress of the foreclosure proceedings.
When the process is completed, and the property has "reverted to the beneficiary" at the foreclosure sale, the Lender could sell the home themselves under a homebuyer program or use it for an affordable rental property managed by a local housing authority or use it for transitional housing facility or other eligible use. The Lender could contract with a local real estate broker to list and sell the home and use those funds for program income eligible uses. 82 Item 11.

FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAM GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
The City of Oroville, hereinafter referred to as the “Sponsor” has entered into a contractual relationship with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) to administer the CALHOME funded First-Time Homebuyer Program. Funds provided under the CALHOME Program will be a useful tool to expand the availability of affordable housing for low- and very low-income families.
The First Time Home Buyers Program (FTHB) is designed to seek new and creative ways to make home ownership a reality for low- and very low-income Oroville residents.
Ultimate FTHB Program goals are to provide local residents with an affordable housing opportunity that would not otherwise be available and to establish a pool of revolving loan funds to assist future low-income Oroville residents seeking assistance to purchase their first home. Funds available for this project may come from various funding sources. All loan repayments will be used to assist other first-time home buyers. FTHB will seek out additional sources of funds that may become available to further promote affordable housing activities.
I. PURPOSE
The City's First Time Home Buyer Program (FTHB) is designed to assist low- and very low-income families achieve home ownership. The FTHB Program is designed to help first-time home buyers purchase a home and qualify for long-term financing from a conventional lender of their choice. The mortgage subsidy provides assistance that enables families to achieve home ownership and directly assists in reducing monthly payments through down payment assistance and monthly debt service reductions on a mortgage originated by private lenders. The Program provides assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers in the form of deferred payment “silent” junior loans as “Gap” financing toward the purchase price of affordable housing that will be owner occupied.
II. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
No member of the City Council or other official, employee or agent of the City Government who exercises policy, decision-making functions, or responsibilities in connection with the planning and implementation of the City of Oroville’s CalHome Housing Rehabilitation Program will directly or indirectly be eligible for 94 Item 11.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR -
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
RE: UPDATE OF USER AND REGULATORY FEES
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution updating and establishing user and regulatory fees.
DISCUSSION
The item provides findings and recommendations from the recently completed user and regulatory fee study. The study, commenced in FY 2021/22, with support from ClearSource Financial Consulting (ClearSource), provides an up-to-date analysis of the City’s current costs of providing fee-related services. This information can be used by the City Council as it considers potential updates to fees.
User and regulatory fees are set at the direction of the City Council at the conclusion of a public hearing to consider adoption of any new fees or fee increases.
The services for which a city imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by a city’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service. When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.
The proposed fees are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees and charges are not a tax as defined in Article 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees.
Additionally, the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payor bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.
119
Item 12.
Industry best practice and California statute are in harmony: User and regulatory fees should be set according to the estimated reasonable cost of service and should bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and/or services provided by the City. Additionally, ongoing review and adjustment of fees provides multiple benefits, including:
Increasing the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety services. Keeping pace with general cost inflation.
Avoiding fee spikes that are more likely to occur when municipalities leave fees unchanged for a multi-year period.
Providing fee payers, city staff, and city policymakers with a pattern of consistency that provides information for forecasting and decision-making purposes. Helps meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.
Encouraging generational equity among fee payers by avoiding long-term stagnation of fees followed by significant fee increases.
Fee Categories that Were Examined in this Study
This study specifically examined fee categories including, but not limited to:
Building Fees: such as permitting of new construction or modifications to existing structures
Planning Fees: such as entitlement review and review for compliance with the zoning code
Land Development Engineering Fees: such as review and inspection of requests for subdivision and grading
Encroachment Permit Fees: for work or activities conducted in the City right-of-way Police Department Fees: such as vehicle impound and report fees Parks and Trees Department Fees: such as rates for admission and reserved use of City facilities.
Items Not Examined in this Study
This study specifically excluded examination of the following:
Development Impact Fees
Taxes
Assessments
Fines or Penalties
Franchise Fees
Utility Rates and Services Charges
These items are subject to different approval thresholds or are not subject to the same cost of service limitations as the fees examined as part of this study. Consequently, they were specifically excluded from the scope of this study.

Item 12.
Overview of Cost of Service Analysis
Nearly every service for which a fee is imposed can be illustrated as follows, contrasting the components of the full cost of service, which is the maximum fee amount justified, against the local agency’s goals for cost recovery:
Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost recovery, inclusive of operating, direct, indirect, and capital costs, except in cases where the City Council cites a public interest in lower fees. The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.
Attachment A of this report includes the resolution and fee schedule proposed for adoption.
Attachment B of this report includes a comparison of current and proposed fees, including recommended fee changes.
Attachment C of this report includes the complete fee study report and cost of service analysis.
Primary Outcomes
During the course of study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout the attached User and Regulatory Fee Study Report. However, summarized in the following findings statements by broad fee category, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City policymakers.
Building Fees
Building fees are collected to recover the costs associated with plan review, permitting, and construction inspection for new and remodeled buildings and other structures. The City’s current building fees are calculated using a cost of $85 per hour. This is significantly less than current industry standards for in-house personnel or contract service providers. The City’s calculated cost of building review services is $166 per hour. This is consistent with rates calculated by the consultant for other municipalities 121
Item 12.
throughout the State.
Fees are proposed to be recalibrated to recover the calculated cost of service.
Recovering the costs of building plan review and permitting from building permit applicants is consistent with practices of other municipalities in the region and throughout the State.
Subsequent to recent fires, the City has experienced an atypical increase in new construction. Construction activity is anticipated to stabilize to more normal levels.
Planning Fees
Fee-related current planning activities focus on the review of development projects, condition compliance, and counter permits including, but not limited to: subdivisions; use permits; administrative permits; permit modifications and adjustments; sign permits; lot line adjustments/mergers; variances; etc.
The City uses a combination of fixed fees and time and materials deposits to recover the costs of fee-related planning services.
o Fixed fees are collected for projects that are relatively homogenous. o Time and materials billings are used for projects that are highly variable. Planning fees have been recalibrated to recover the City’s cost of service with the following exceptions:
o Appeals to the City Council of Planning Commission of Ministerial Decisions o Review of Applications for Home Occupation Permit
o Historical Landmark Alteration Permit
o Occupancy Review
o Sign Review
o Special Event Permit Application Review
o Temporary Use Permit
o Zoning / General Plan Compliance Letter.
Land Development Engineering and Encroachment Permit Fees Fees collected for reviewing public and private improvements for utility and land development projects for conformance with state and local requirements. Examples include:
Provide conditions of approval for land development projects Review and approve all Parcel and Tract maps for land divisions Perform grading and improvement plan check
Issue grading and encroachment permits
Ensure that proposed land development projects and construction sites conform to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements Perform inspection services of land development and encroachment permit projects; etc.
Engineering and encroachment permit fees have been recalibrated to recover the City’s cost of service with the following exceptions:
o Encroachment Permit for Construction Dumpster
o Encroachment Permit for Construction Job Trailer
122
Item 12.
Police Fees
Police fees are recommended for only minor inflationary adjustments, typically $10 or less.
Vehicle release/impound fees have been combined into one category, due to similar service level required to administer impound and release for vehicles.
Cultural Facilities Admission Fees
Fees are proposed for minor refinement to provide consistency in admission fees for the City’s various cultural centers.
Minor adjustment to entrance fees proposed. One dollar adjustment. Establish Saturday and Holiday rates for Sank Park/Lott Home (high demand days). Establish non-resident premium of 25% for Sank Park/Lott Home rental. Targeted inflationary adjustments to reserved park rental rates.
Fee Comparison Information
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in-range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.
Environmental Impact
Adoption of updated costs and charges is not considered a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on Section 15273 of the CEQA Guidelines. No other CEQA action is required.
Effective Date
In order to comply with California Government Code Section 66017, which outlines procedures for adopting fees, any new or increased development fees adopted by the City Council shall go into effect not sooner than 60 days after adoption. Consequently, staff recommends an effective date of July 1, 2023, for all fee adjustments.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any enhanced cost recovery is intended to “offset” the costs of existing services being provided by the City. Recovering these costs from service recipients will free up critical General Fund resources to be used for services and activities available to all Oroville residents and businesses, such as public safety, public works, and parks maintenance services.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution No. 9127 adjusting and establishing user and regulatory fees.

RESOLUTION NO. 9127
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN UPDATED SCHEDULE OF USER AND REGULATORY FEES.
WHEREAS, user and regulatory fees are established by the City Council; and WHEREAS, the City recently completed a study to identify the cost of providing various user and regulatory fee-related services; and
WHEREAS, the study examined fee-related services provided by the City, the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services, and the revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that providing these services is of special benefit to applicants both separate and apart from the general benefit to the public; and therefore, in the interests of fairness to the general public, the City desires to better recover the costs of providing these services from applicants who have sought or require the City's services by revising its schedule of fees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the study provides adequate evidence to conclude that the revised fees do not exceed the reasonable costs to provide the services for which the fees are charged; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that annually the City Manager may increase various fees based on the annual percentage change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Area (CPI), not to exceed five percent (5%) per year.
If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year; and
WHEREAS, prior to adopting adjustments to fees, the City Council shall have the opportunity to review and consider said adjustments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Oroville City Council as follows:
Section 1. Each WHEREAS paragraph, set forth above, is hereby adopted as a specific finding of this City Council.
Section 2. The City Council hereby adopts the schedule of fees as set forth in attached Exhibit "A" and incorporated by this reference.
Section 3. Annually on July 1, commencing July 1, 2024, various fees in the fee schedule may be updated based on the prior year annual change in the CPI, not to exceed 5%. If the CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made to the fee schedule that year.
Section 4. Any new or adjusted fees adopted by this Resolution shall go into effect 124
Item 12.
July 1, 2023.

PRESS RELEASE

OROVILLE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
OROVILLE, CA – February 15, 2023 – The Oroville City Council is asking the community to provide nominations for the “Samuel J. Norris Award for Excellence.” In 2002, the City Council approved this annual award for significant lifetime achievements toward improving the quality of life in the City of Oroville.
Samuel (Sam) Norris was a civil engineer who arrived in Oroville in 1903 with his wife and three children. He served in private and official capacities, including preparing a report that led to the construction of the Western Pacific Railroad with a one percent grade through the Feather River Canyon, doing most of the rail connection studies while working incognito. He served as City Engineer from 1911 until his retirement in 1952. His first assignments were paving specifications for the business district and the plans for the City’s storm water system.
Nominees can either be an individual or group of individuals that have improved the quality of life in the City of Oroville. Consideration will also be given to significant community service, providing positive leadership to the community and significant achievement(s) in the nominee’s life that inspired others to improve the community.
Past recipients include, Bernie Richter, Dan Cook, Kenneth Richter, Donald Richter, Eugene Ludwig, Jack McKillop, Elisabeth Isch, Clay Castleberry, Jim Moll, Darrell Stevens, Jim Lehoff, Ray Sousa, Lee Jernigan, Wendell P.

For a number of years, Cal Water has offered customers penalty- and interest-free payment plans to help them make ends meet. Now, we're rolling out a program that gives customers even more flexibility and convenience to help them pay their past due bills.
We are now offering PromisePay, a new service which enables residential customers to select from various payment plan options, set up automatic payments, and set up text reminders.
The best part is that they can do all this from their phone or computer without having to call anyone.
PromisePay is in addition to Cal Water’s other payment plans, all of which enable customers with past-due accounts to avoid interruptions in water service.
Cal Water residential customers with a past-due balance of $50 or more can now access the PromisePay online system at calwater.promise-pay.com.
Our goal is to make water bills easier to manage. We believe this new partnership will make a meaningful difference for those who are struggling and enable those reluctant to ask for help to get control of their bills privately.
You can read our press release here.
We'd love it if you could help us spread the word about this great new program to your constituents by sharing our posts on Twitter and Facebook.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. 244
