7.c. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 25-022,

APPROVING ACCEPTANCE OF FUNDS FROM THE LOS ANGELES

OF FUNDS TO THE PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION

PROGRAM

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requires entitlement jurisdictions to use their allocation of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant Program for eligible housing related projects and programs to assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of our community, in addition to assisting persons who are experiencing homelessness. The City was allocated $103,037 for Year 5 by a formula grant by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-022, approving the 2023-24 allocation of Community Development Block Grant-Permanent Local Housing Allocation (CDBG-PLHA) Program Year 5 funds, as outlined; and

2. Authorize City Manager or designee to execute any and all documents necessary to further the potential projects approved herein, including but not limited to amendments and modifications for CDBG projects with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The action proposed herein is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 21065 of CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15378. Approving and allocating funds for eligible housing projects is an administrative action that would not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, the proposed action is not a “project” subject to CEQA, as defined in Section 21065 of CEQA and Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Since the action is not a project subject to CEQA, no environmental document is required.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
(LACDA) AND ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO THE

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM
SUMMARY: The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requires entitlement jurisdictions to use their allocation of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant Program for eligible housing related projects and programs to assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of our community, in addition to assisting persons who are experiencing homelessness. The City was allocated $103,037 for Year 5 by a formula grant by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-022, approving the 2023-24 allocation of Community Development Block Grant-Permanent Local Housing Allocation (CDBG-PLHA) Program Year 5 funds, as outlined; and

Approving and allocating funds for eligible housing projects is an administrative action that would not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, the proposed action is not a “project” subject to CEQA, as defined in Section 21065 of CEQA and Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Since the action is not a project subject to CEQA, no environmental document is required.

Page 33 of 203 ends

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The $103,037 PLHA funds are reimbursable and will be expended out of Fund 51 - Permanent Local Housing Allocation Fund.

DISCUSSION: LACDA has chosen to use their funding allocation to fund the Eviction Defense Program. However, cities are given the option to utilize their allocated funds for other eligible housing activities. If a city does not choose an alternative program, the city's funds will be designated to the Eviction Defense Program. PLHA allocation amounts are only available to cities that have an HCD approved Housing Element.

Eligible activities for the formula allocations are:

1. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, rental housing that is affordable to extremely low- , very low-, low-, or moderate-income households, including necessary operating subsidies.

2. The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing, including Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), that meet the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120-percent of AMI, or 150-percent of Area Median Income (AMI) in high-cost areas. ADUs shall be available for occupancy for a term of no less than 30 days.

3. Matching portions of funds placed into Local or Regional Housing Trust Funds.

4. Matching portions of funds available through the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund pursuant to subdivision (d) of California Health and Safety Code Section 34176.

5. Capitalized Reserves for Services connected to the preservation and creation of new permanent supportive housing.

6. Assisting persons who are experiencing, or at risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.

7. This activity may include sub-awards to administrative entities as defined in California Health and Safety Code Sections 50490(a)(1-3) that were awarded California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) program or Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) funds for rental assistance to continue assistance to these households.

8. Applicants must provide rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelter, and transitional housing activities in a manner consistent with the Housing First practices described in 25 CCR, Section 8409, subdivision (b)(1)- (6) and in compliance with Welfare and Institutions Code Section 8225(b)(8). An applicant allocated funds for the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent supportive housing shall incorporate the core components of Housing First, as provided in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 8255, subdivision (b).

9. Accessibility modifications in lower-income owner-occupied housing.

10. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes and apartments.

11. Homeownership opportunities, including, but not limited to, down payment assistance.

12. Fiscal incentives made by a county to a city within the county to incentivize approval of one or more affordable housing projects, or matching funds invested

Page 34 of 203 ends

by a county in an affordable housing development project in a city within the county, provided that the city has made an equal or greater investment in the project. The county fiscal incentives shall be in the form of a grant or low-interest loan to an affordable housing project. Matching funds investments by both the county and the city also shall be a grant or low-interest deferred loan to the affordable housing project.

South El Monte Plan to spend PLHA formula funds:
• The activity for Year 2 allocations was selected for homeownership opportunities including, but not limited to, down payment assistance. • The activity for Year 3 allocations was selected for homeownership opportunities including, but not limited to, down payment assistance. • The activity for Year 4 allocation was selected as assisting persons who are experiencing or are at-risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.

Funding Allocation Recommendations for Year 5 allocation:
• Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.

Staff is suggesting using the CDBG-PLHA funds towards addressing the unmet housing needs of our community by selecting Housing for Homeless: Rental Assistance. The PLHA Rental Assistance Program will assist seniors 62 years of age and older experiencing homelessness or “at risk of homelessness”. The assistance is intended to be a temporary solution that allows a tenant to build their savings and better manage their personal finances. PLHA agreed to extend the submittal deadline to March 6, 2025.

Dear Rene Salas:

AWARD LETTER NOTICE YEAR 5 (2023 ALLOCATION)

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM
The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is pleased to announce that the City’s tentative Year 5 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding allocation is $103,037. Overall, LACDA experienced a decreased level of funding for Year 5 PLHA funds, which is why you will see less funding available now compared to prior years.

Once the LACDA receives the Year 5 funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the city of South El Monte will be required to enter a contract with the LACDA that will set forth the conditions for funding and program/regulatory requirements that are required to be met for the funding and implementation of the City’s PLHA funded activity. Please note that in order to receive funding, the City must be in compliance, specifically having a State approved Housing Element at the time of the award commitment from the State to LACDA.

If you wish to accept these funds for current or new eligible activities, the city of South El Monte must:

1. Submit a Letter of Intent which includes concise details of the proposed Activity and Sub-Activity and describes how the City plans to expend the funds by June 30, 2028;

2. Complete a proposed Exhibit A form for the planned activity;

3. Provide a city council approved resolution; and

4. Provide proof of 30-day Public Notice.

Please submit all required documentation on or before February 14, 2025. If the Letter of Intent, including supporting documentation is not received by the due date, the available allocation will be retained by the County and reallocated to Countywide program(s).

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.d.

AGREEMENT (PSA) TO HERA PROPERTY REGISTRY TO

ADMINISTER THE FORECLOSURE REGISTRATION

PROGRAM
SUMMARY: Staff seeks City Council approval to award a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Hera Property Registry as the responsive, responsible bidder to administer and implement the Foreclosure Registration Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council

1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-023, awarding a Professional Services Agreement to Hera Property Registry to administer and implement the Foreclosure Registration Program; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, and allow Hera Property Registry to retain an agreed-upon amount of the registration fees collected.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact on the City. The Foreclosure Registration Program will be funded entirely through registration fees paid by property owners of foreclosed properties. Hera Property Registry will retain a set amount of these fees for its services, eliminating the need for City funds to cover administrative costs.

Page 40 of 203 ends

DISCUSSION: The Foreclosure Registration Program is designed to mitigate the negative impacts of vacant, abandoned, or foreclosed properties by ensuring timely registration, maintenance, and compliance with local regulations. The program establishes a structured process for monitoring and enforcing property maintenance standards, reducing blight, and improving neighborhood stability. To ensure effective program administration, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on November 14, 2024, seeking qualified firms with expertise in foreclosure registration and compliance tracking.

The proposals were evaluated based on the following criteria:
• Compliance with RFP requirements
• Understanding of the project scope
• Relevant experience with foreclosure registration programs • Technical capabilities and software functionality
Following the evaluation process, Hera Property Registry was determined to be the most responsive and responsible bidder. Hera Property Registry’s platform offers a datadriven approach to tracking vacant and foreclosed properties, and improving enforcement efficiency. Their demonstrated experience in successfully administering similar programs for other municipalities further supports their selection. By awarding this contract to Hera Property Registry, the City will enhance its ability to track, manage, and enforce foreclosure property regulations without any financial burden on City resources. Hera Property Registry will be responsible for all administrative functions of the program, including:
• Property registration tracking and management
• Automated notifications and compliance monitoring
• Collection and processing of registration fees
• Data analytics and reporting
This agreement ensures the effective implementation of the Foreclosure Registration Program while maintaining financial sustainability for the City.

BACKGROUND: The City previously implemented a Foreclosure Registration Program to address the growing number of vacant and foreclosed properties affecting community safety and neighborhood conditions. The program requires financial institutions and property owners to register foreclosed properties with the City, ensuring proper maintenance and reducing public nuisances.

However, manual tracking and enforcement challenges have resulted in inefficiencies, delayed compliance actions, and lost revenue. To address these issues, the City has sought to modernize its approach by partnering with a qualified service provider with advanced technological capabilities.

The selection of Hera Property Registry as the program administrator allows the City to:
• Proactively enforce vacant and foreclosed property maintenance • Enhance data tracking and reporting through real-time analytics

Page 41 of 203 ends

• Increase compliance rates with automated monitoring
• Improve neighborhood conditions by reducing blight and nuisances By awarding the contract, the City strengthens its ability to uphold property maintenance standards, protect community well-being, and ensure financial accountability all at no cost to the City.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.e.

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HOUSING AND COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (HCD) FOR THE CALHOME

PROGRAM TO HELP OWNER OCCUPIED OWNERS WITH

HOME REPAIRS AND THE FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER

PROGRAM
SUMMARY: The City of South El Monte seeks City Council approval to apply for $2,525,000 in CalHome Program funding from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). These funds will be used to administer the OwnerOccupied Rehabilitation Program and First-Time Homebuyer Program, which provide financial assistance to eligible low- and very low-income households through deferred payment loans and mortgage assistance. The City has already secured a consultant to administer the programs and will utilize these funds to support program implementation.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution No. 25- 024, authorizing the City Manager or designee to apply for CalHome Grant funding in the amount of $2,525,000 to assist homeowners with rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer down payment assistance. If awarded, the City Manager or designee will be authorized to execute all necessary agreements, subject to City Attorney approval.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will request $2,525,000 in CalHome funding, allocated as follows:

First-Time Homebuyer Program:
• $1,200,000 for homebuyer assistance (deferred payment loans). • $5,000 for homebuyer education.
• $120,000 for administrative costs.

Page 123 of 203 ends

Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program:
• $1,000,000 for rehabilitation assistance (deferred payment loans). • $200,000 for administrative costs.

The $320,000 in administrative costs will be used to cover program implementation, application processing, and compliance monitoring by the City’s previously selected consultant.

All program costs will be covered through CalHome grant funds, and the City will use CalHome Reuse Funds to cover immediate program expenses while awaiting grant approval. These funds will be replenished once the new CalHome funds are received.

DISCUSSION: The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has announced the availability of $57 million in CalHome Program Funds from the Affordable Housing Bond Act Trust Fund of 2018. These funds are designated to assist Local Public Agencies and Nonprofit Corporations in delivering homeownership assistance to low- and very low-income households.

The CalHome Program aims to:
• Increase homeownership opportunities for low-income residents. • Encourage neighborhood revitalization and sustainable development. • Maximize the use of existing housing stock through rehabilitation and new ownership assistance programs.

To ensure the City of South El Monte maximizes available funding, staff is applying for funds to support two key initiatives.

The First-Time Homebuyer Program will provide mortgage assistance through deferredpayment loans to first-time homebuyers. To ensure long-term homeownership success, participants will be required to complete a homebuyer education program. Administrative costs will support program operations, including application processing, financial disbursements, and compliance monitoring.

The Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program will assist low-income homeowners with essential home repairs, rehabilitation, and safety upgrades. Homeowners will receive deferred-payment loans to maintain and improve their residences. Administrative costs for this program will support application processing, project management, and regulatory compliance.

The City has already secured a consultant with expertise in housing assistance program administration to manage these programs. Their responsibilities include marketing the programs, reviewing applications, verifying eligibility, tracking financial disbursements, and maintaining compliance with State and Federal regulations.

Page 124 of 203 ends

BACKGROUND: Between 2015 and 2017, the City was awarded $2.5 million in CalHome funding for the First-Time Homebuyer, Manufactured Mobile Home Repair, and Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs. Due to program challenges and lack of successful implementation by 2017, the State required the City to return nearly $2 million, temporarily disqualifying the City from future CalHome funding until the completion of the General Plan Housing Element update.

From 2020 to 2023, the City made efforts to relaunch its First-Time Homebuyer and Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Programs, but these initiatives faced significant challenges and failed to meet their intended objectives. In 2022, the City engaged a consultant to assist in implementing the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program.

However, due to unsatisfactory performance, the City terminated the agreement in 2024.

The current Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CalHome requires applicants to demonstrate at least two years of experience managing similar programs within the last four years. Due to past program challenges, the City does not meet this requirement independently.

To address this issue, the City has secured a qualified subcontractor with proven expertise in housing assistance program administration. This partnership will ensure compliance with State requirements and restore the City’s ability to successfully deliver essential housing programs to residents. By securing $2,525,000 in CalHome funding, the City will efficiently implement, track, and manage the CalHome Owner-Occupied Home Repair and First-Time Homebuyer Programs, providing critical financial assistance to eligible households while ensuring full compliance with State and Federal funding guidelines.

• The maximum appraised home values at time of purchase or upon completion of acquisition/Rehabilitation work for Mortgage Assistance loans has been changed to the highest local median sales price of a single-family home during the past six months.

o If applying for one or more activity, the minimum application amount per activity is $500,000.

• Changes to the Scoring Rubric include the following:
o Feasibility scoring criterion decreased from 20 to 15. o New scoring criterion for number of prospective households served added for 5 points
o Scoring for the Prohousing Designation criterion will now award 5 points will to Projects or Programs that are located in jurisdictions that have received a Prohousing Designation or that have applied for a Prohousing Designation by the application due date and are certified by the Department within 45 days after the application due date.

Applicants should familiarize themselves with all applicable Statutes and Guidelines which, in the event of any conflict(s) with this HOSN, shall control.

This HOSN, the CalHome Final Guidelines (2024), and the Serna- Homeownership Final Guidelines (2024) implement the requirements of California Assembly Bill 434 (AB 434) (Chapter 192, Statutes of 2020). For the Homeownership activities of Serna, AB 434 requires the Department to:
• Make those funds available at the same time it makes funds available under the CalHome Program,
• Rate and rank applications in a manner consistent with the CalHome Program, except that the Department may establish additional point categories for the

Page 134 of 203 ends

California Department of Housing and Community Development Page 5 2024 Homeownership SuperNOFA (HOSN) (amended on January 17, 2025) purposes of rating and ranking applications that seek funding under Serna in addition to those used in the CalHome Program,
• Administer those funds in a manner consistent with the CalHome Program Attention Tribal Entities
• The 2024 HOSN does not include a funding set-aside for Tribal Entities.

Instead, Tribal Entities are encouraged to apply for CalHome funds via the Tribal CalHome NOFA of approximately $18 million, which is being released simultaneously with this Homeownership Super NOFA (HOSN). • The requirements set forth in NOFAs are subject to AB 1010 (Stats.2019, c. 660), which is set forth in HSC section 50406, subdivision (p). Accordingly, and pursuant to HSC section 50406, subdivision (p), (a) where the provisions of tribal law, tribal governance, tribal charter, or difference in Tribal Entity or legal structure would cause a violation or not satisfy the requirements of state financing being provided by the Department, said requirements may be modified as necessary to ensure program compatibility; and (b) where provisions of tribal law, tribal governance, tribal charter, or difference in Tribal Entity legal structure or agency create minor inconsistencies (as determined by the Director of the Department or a duly authorized designee thereof) with the requirements of state financing being provided by the Department, the Department may waive said requirements, as deemed necessary, to avoid an unnecessary administrative burden. Matters set forth or otherwise provided for in the requirements of state financing being provided by the Department that may be modified or waived include, without limitation, threshold requirements and any other matters set forth in HSC section 50406, subdivision (p)(2). AB 1010 may waive or modify state financing statutory requirements under Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code subject to the limitations of applicable law including the California Constitution and AB 1010. Any requests to waive or modify such statutory requirements will be considered by the Department on a case-by-case basis.
• Please note that AB 1010 does not automatically operate to obviate, or otherwise modify, any provision(s) of these Guidelines. To the extent that a Tribal Entity applicant believes that AB 1010 is applicable to such Tribal Entity, their Application, the Project to which their Application relates, or any number of them, it is recommended that such Tribal Entity applicant submit an AB 1010 waiver request to the Department before applications are due under the applicable NOFA to ensure that the Department has adequate time to review such waiver request and render a decision granting, or rejecting, the request.

B. Threshold Requirements

1. Site Control: For Homeownership Development Project Loans, Recipients shall

Page 145 of 203 ends

California Department of Housing and Community Development Page 16 2024 Homeownership SuperNOFA (HOSN) (amended on January 17, 2025) comply with the Site Control requirements listed in Guidelines §400.3

2. Minimum Point Score: Applicants must achieve a minimum point score of 55 points in the Base Evaluation Criteria in Section IV of this HOSN to be considered for a funding Award.

3. Other Threshold Requirements: A Project is not eligible for an Award unless it meets all the threshold requirements of the relevant Program (CalHome or Serna). Please review the individual Program Guidelines for each Program for complete information.

Below is a summary of some of the key threshold requirements and is not to be considered a complete representation of the entirety of the threshold, or other requirements, terms, and conditions for CalHome and Serna. a. CalHome and Serna Guidelines Section §208 Threshold Requirements The following are highlights of CalHome and Serna threshold requirements:
i. A Local Public Entity that is not a Tribal Entity shall only be eligible to apply for an Award of program funds for a Local Program or project located within its jurisdictional boundaries. A Tribal Entity shall be eligible to apply for an award of CalHome program funds for a Local Program or project located anywhere within the State of California. ii. A Nonprofit Corporation or Tribally Designated Housing Entity shall only be eligible to apply for an Award of program funds for a program or project if it has developed a project or operated a housing program in California within the past two years or if the Nonprofit Corporation or Tribally Designated Housing Entity has an existing 523 Self-Help Technical Assistance Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
b. Serna Guidelines §208: Threshold Requirements
All Serna threshold requirements shall be satisfied. The following are highlights of Serna threshold requirements:
i. All Unis assisted with program funds must serve Lower-Income Agricultural Households.

C. Rating and Ranking

1. All applications will be evaluated on the Base Evaluation Criteria included in Section IV(A) of this HOSN. Applications for Serna funding will also be scored on the additional Serna Criteria included in Section IV(B). All applications meeting the threshold requirements of the applicable Program and achieving a minimum point score of 55 points in Base Evaluation Criteria will be considered for funding pursuant to the process described below:

Page 146 of 203 ends

California Department of Housing and Community Development Page 17 2024 Homeownership SuperNOFA (HOSN) (amended on January 17, 2025) a. CalHome and Serna applications will be ranked separately since the additional evaluation criteria used for Serna applications means those applications have a higher possible maximum score.
b. Funding targets will be applied in the following order: 1) Community-Based Developers, 2) Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance and finally 3) geographic. All applications awarded under the Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance will also count towards meeting the applicable regional targets. If a concentration of Awards in any geographic area would make it impossible for the Department to meet the geographic funding targets established in this HOSN, the Department may skip to lowerscoring applications in other geographic areas. i. Applications that include some activities that are eligible for a funding target and some that are not eligible for a funding target, or include activities in multiple geographic regions, will be separated out into multiple applications for the purposes of rating and ranking. For example, if an Applicant applies for $1 million for Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation funds targeted to Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance and $2 million for Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation funds not targeted to Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance, the $1 million request will be scored separately from the $2 million request and only the $1 million request will be considered in the Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance funding target.

Similarly, if an Applicant applies for $500,000 in Mortgage Assistance program funds to be used in rural areas and $2.5 million in Mortgage Assistance program funds to be used in non-rural areas in Southern California, the $500,000 request will be scored separately from the $2.5 million request. As such, it is possible that only the part of a given application that is eligible as part of a funding target or is in an undersubscribed geographic area will be awarded funds if the remainder of the application does not score high enough in the general ranking.

Funding targets will only be awarded to the extent that eligible applications (those meeting all threshold requirements including minimum point score) exist. If the Department receives fewer eligible applications than funding available, any unawarded funds within the funding targets may be used to fund remaining eligible applications based on ranked score.
ii. CalHome funding targets for Community-Based Developers, and Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance: Beginning with the topranked CalHome applications (according to the Base Evaluation Criteria, including tiebreakers as applicable) eligible for the funding target, the highest scoring applications will be “fully funded” (provided all applicable threshold, minimum point score, and other eligibility criteria are met).

Page 147 of 203 ends

California Department of Housing and Community Development Page 18 2024 Homeownership SuperNOFA (HOSN) (amended on January 17, 2025) “Fully funded” means these applications will receive an Award of all requested Program funds, subject to applicable limits. Applicable limits that could result in Department Awards below requested levels include but are not limited to: maximum allowable funding limits (per unit, per project and per Applicant) and available funding in the Homeownership HOSN.

Applicants that are eligible can compete in multiple funding targets if unsuccessful in one due to oversubscription. CalHome applications funded through the Community- Based Developer and Mobilehome or Manufactured Home assistance funding target are accounted for in the geographic percentage targets.
iii. Serna funding target for Community-Based Developers will begin with the top-ranked Serna applications (according to the Base Evaluation Criteria, including tiebreakers as applicable) eligible for the CommunityBased Developers funding target, the highest scoring applications will be “fully funded” (provided all applicable threshold, minimum point score, and other eligibility criteria are met). “Fully funded” means these applications will receive an Award of all requested Program funds, subject to applicable limits. Applicable limits that could result in Department Awards below requested levels include but are not limited to: maximum allowable funding limits (per unit, per project and per Applicant) and available funding in the Homeownership HOSN. Serna applications funded through the Community-Based Developer funding target are accounted for in the geographic percentage targets.

Once all funding targets are met to the extent possible, the highestranking remaining Serna applications will be fully funded until Serna funds are exhausted. However, if a concentration of Serna Awards in any geographic area would make it impossible for the Department to meet the geographic funding targets established in this HOSN, the Department may skip to lower-scoring Serna applications in other geographic areas. iv. If the last-ranked Serna application requests more Serna funds than remain, that Project will, conditioned upon the availability of additional funding, receive an augmentation of Serna funds, and be fully funded.
v. Finally, the highest-ranking CalHome applications will be fully funded until CalHome funds are exhausted. However, if a concentration of CalHome Awards in any geographic area would make it impossible for the Department to meet the geographic funding targets established in this HOSN, the Department may skip to lower-scoring CalHome applications in other geographic areas.
vi. If the last-ranked CalHome application requests more CalHome funds than remain, that Project will, conditioned upon the availability of additional funding, receive an augmentation of CalHome funds and be fully funded.

ADVISORS, INC.

SUMMARY: The City is in need of interim Public Works while recruitment for a permanent Public Works Director is being conducted. Tierra West Advisors, Inc. has provided a proposal to temporarily provide Public Works Director for the city.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The agreement is for a not-to-exceed amount of $95,000 for three (3) month services and an additional three (3) months, if needed, for an aggregate not-to-exceed of $190,000.

DISCUSSION: The City is in need of an interim Public Works Director to assist in running the Public Works Department, overseeing engineering, maintenance staff, NPDES storm water, street reconstruction projects, and encroachment permits. For temporary staff needs, staff would contact MuniTemps for filling positions temporary. Unfortunately, MuniTemps did not have any candidates available for Public Works Director services.

Staff contacted Tierra West Advisors and obtained a proposal for temporary Public Works Director services for the city. This would be for a three (3) month commitment with an option to extend three (3) more months.

Staff recommends approving the attached agreement for Public Works Director services provided by Tierra West Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $95,000 and for an additional three (3) months of services, if needed, for an aggregate not-to-exceed amount of $190,000.
