Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Department: Public Works
DATE: May 14, 2024
FROM: Lesley Milton, Asst. to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorization for a purchase of MicroC Processing Chemicals for the Micro Bioreactor (MBR) facility testing for a not to exceed cost $72,950.00.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Authorization to purchase process chemicals MicroC for
the MBR Facility.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
To purchase processing chemicals needed for testing at
the MBR Facility at the wastewater treatment plant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Processing chemicals are included in the approved FY 24 budget. No additional funds are requested with this
purchase.
BACKGROUND:
The Membrane Bioreactor system (MBR) for wastewater treatment is nearing completion. MBR is a process which combines a microfiltration or ultrafiltration membrane unit with a suspended growth bioreactor and is now widely used in both municipal and industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). MBRs are an increasingly popular wastewater treatment system that offer a range of advantages over conventional activated sludge systems for wastewater treatment. the City's MBR Plant has been under construction but has incurred delays on the schedule. Staff is anticipated to start testing components of the system beginning in June of 2024 and hopefully project completion will be soon thereafter.
DISCUSSION:
A critical component of the facility and process testing needs a specific processing chemical called MicroC. This chemical is a glycerin-based product that is widely used in denitrification, enhanced biological phosphorus removal and biochemical oxygen demand applications. It is a proprietary chemical that can only be purchased through distributors or directly from the manufacturer.
According to the purchasing policy, staff purchasing limits are exhausted at $25,000 therefore staff is requesting Council authorization to purchase up to $72,950 of MicroC processing chemicals for the testing and for the initial MBR Facility processing.
Attachment A is the quoted invoice for the first shipment, and one more is potentially needed prior to the end of the Fiscal Year.
Agenda Item #10.9.
Staff is recommending authorization to purchase the chemicals in order to proceed to the testing phase of the MBR Facility.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Not a CEQA project.
GOAL:
Goal 3: Pursue Water Security & Sustainable Management of Water Resources DOCUMENTS ATTACHMENTS:

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Department: Public Works
DATE: May 14, 2024
FROM: Lesley Milton, Asst. to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Kimley-Horn, Inc. for Civil
Engineering Services to provide engineering
documentation and bid specifications to assist with
completion of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Project W25-01 Napa Intertie Water Pipeline Replacement for a not-to-exceed cost of $446,200.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Approval of the Professional Services Agreement with
Kimley-Horn
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
CIP Project W25-01 was approved in May 2023 as part of
the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
To approve a professional services agreement for CIP
Project W25-01 Napa Intertie Water Pipeline Replacement project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact is $446,200. CIP Project W25-01 has an approved budget of $5.7 million which includes: design, construction management, construction contract, and
contingency.
BACKGROUND:
The City of St. Helena (City) provides water to its customers using a combination of three different sources: Bell Canyon Reservoir, Stonebridge Wells, and water purchased from the City of Napa (Napa). During the 5-year period between 2013 and 2017, the purchased water from Napa accounted for approximately 35 percent of the City’s average day demand and 20 percent of the maximum day demand.
The water purchased from Napa enters the City’s water distribution system through a single intertie connection located southeast of the City. A pump station boosts the water pressure and sends it northwest along St. Helena Highway (CA-128/29) through a single 12-inch diameter pipeline, where it eventually connects into the water distribution system near St. Helena High School.
The Integrated Utility Master Plan
(https://www.cityofsthelena.org/DocumentCenter/View/185/2021-04-Integrated-UtilityMaster-Plan-PDF) prepared by Carollo Engineers in April 2021 included the need to replace 17,300 linear feet of 12-inch pipeline from the City's Rutherford Pump Station to Agenda Item #10.10.
the south and the intersection of State Route 128/29 and Charter Oak Avenue to the north.
The plan identified the Napa Intertie pipeline to have the maximum possible risk score and recommended it as the highest priority replacement. Constructed in 1947, the pipe has a history of leaks, which could be precursors to a more significant failure.
Additionally, the pipe carries approximately a third of the systems average daily demand and has no redundancy. Should this pipe experience a major failure beyond the minor breaks the City has seen in recent history, the City would be a serious risk of running out of water for its residential, commercial, and institutional customers. This pipeline poses a substantial risk to the City’s water system, and Carollo recommended replacing the pipeline in the near term.
The proposed project will be based upon the topographic survey obtained for the Napa Vine Trail project and located within existing public road right-of-way and existing dedicated easements. In May 2023, the City Council adopted the 5-year Capital Improvement Program which included project W25-01 Napa Intertie Pipeline Replacement.
DISCUSSION:
Kimley-Horn is the engineering company of record that is contracted with the County of Napa to construct the Napa Valley Vine Trail Project. They were selected because of their knowledge of the project area including survey and engineering work related to the Vine Trail project which runs directly above the project area and for their expertise in developing similar water transmission main projects.
This project requires coordination between the City and the Vine trail project, as timing is of critical importance. The Rutherford pipeline disturbs the ground below the Vine Trail pathway, therefore it makes sense to complete the utility work prior to construction of the paved pathway.
Scope of services include the following:
1. Project Management: Kimley-Horn will conduct internal project management and administration procedures to schedule deliverables and provide monthly accounting.
2. Preparation of Construction Documents: Including full design, as well as bid ready documents.
3. Coordination: The pipeline replacement project design will be coordinated with Napa Valley Vine Trail project between Yountville and St. Helena, which is currently under design by Kimley-Horn for the County of Napa.

Subject: [External] Consent Items 10.4, 10.5, 10.10
Date: Friday, May 10, 2024 8:30:30 AM
Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
I am gratified to see that these consent items address the potable water loss problem and give us tools to more accurately measure water loss.
More needs to be done to replace potable with recycled water and find new sources of water for St. Helena. We need to find customers for recycled water, re-explore connecting to the PUC water system, increase the efficiency of Bell Canyon reservoir and find more users of water from the Lower Reservoir. At a County level we need to examine the benefits of new or different system interties and regional cooperation with other water agencies.
These consent items are a good step in that direction.

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: CONSENT ITEMS
Department: Public Works
DATE: May 14, 2024
FROM: Lesley Milton, Asst. to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution authorizing the purchase of an Asphalt Crack Sealer for $73,365 from Cimline Inc. for
improved long term pavement management.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Approve the attached Resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
The purpose is to purchase equipment that will prolong the life of the pavement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total financial impact of the purchase is $73,365, which is available in the adopted FY24 Streets Operations budget.
BACKGROUND:
Over the last two years, and for the next several years, the City is investing several millions of dollars in the repaving of streets throughout the City. As with most things, a maintained street will last longer than one that is not maintained, and an asphalt crack sealer is an investment into the longevity of the newly repaved road network. Crack sealing is the process of placing an adhesive sealant into cracks on the pavement surface, preventing the infiltration of moisture and non-compressible materials into the pavement and its subgrade.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has the technical capability of performing this service but has in the past either chosen to contract for this service or not to it at all due to cost. By having the right tools for the job, this service can be provided in house, with minimal additional charge, other than for supplies, for a long-term benefit to pavement lifecycle.
Staff has identified Cimline Inc. as a Sourcewell-compliant vendor that can provide a 150 Gallon Crack Sealing Unit Trailer Meter for a total cost including delivery and taxes of $73,365. Sourcewell is a cooperative purchasing program that manages the solicitation requirements and offers members easy access to an established network of awarded contracts. It combines the buying power of more than 50,000 government, education, and nonprofit organizations to save agencies time and money. The City's purchasing policies allow for purchasing from Sourcewell-compliant vendors in lieu of competitive bidding.
Agenda Item #10.11.
While the FY 24 budget did not include this as a budgeted expenditure, cost savings in other line items allows for this purchase. The following will be transferred to: 101-5015- 36-30 - Capital Equipment for the purchase:
$32,000 from 101-50-15-21-22
$15,000 from 101-50-15-21-45
$26,365 from 101-50-15-23-12
The total cost, including delivery and taxes is $73,365 and can be applied towards the Maintenance of Effort expenditures as required by Measure T.
Staff recommends authorizing the capital purchase of the asphalt crack sealer as presented.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Not a CEQA project.
GOAL:
Goal 2: Improve Infrastructure & Further Environmental Sustainability Goal 5: Enhance Quality of Life
Goal 7: Enhance Organizational Effectiveness

On March 22, 2022 the Council considered several possible Vine Trail routes through the City of St. Helena. Council expressed support for the route that utilized Mitchell Drive, Oak Avenue, Adams Street and a portion of the Napa Valley Wine Train (NVWT) property connecting Adams Street to Pratt Avenue. Since this approval, the Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition (NVVTC) has sought right-of-way easements from private landowners along this route. At the time of Council approval, NVWT had been open to providing easements on their land for the Vine Trail segment between Adams Street and Pratt Avenue. In 2023, NVWT initiated development of their parcel located at Fulton Lane and can no longer host the Vine Trail at this location. This makes part of the recommended Vine Trail segment between Adams Street and Pratt Avenue non-viable.
DISCUSSION:
NVWT is still willing to provide an easement on their property between Fulton Lane and Pratt Avenue. The Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition (NVVTC) proposes to realign the Vine Trail onto Railroad Avenue between Adams Street and Fulton Lane and then northeast on Fulton Lane to reconnect to the original route along the Wine Train property to Pratt Avenue. This change would turn Railroad Avenue into a Bike Boulevard allowing bicyclists and motorists to share the travel lanes. Traffic calming Agenda Item #10.12.
measures would be added to promote safety for all users. City staff have reviewed this proposal and find it to be viable.
On April 3, 2024, the St. Helena Active Transportation & Sustainability Committee received a presentation from Mr. Charles McMinn, NVVTC's Founder and Board President, regarding the need for the alignment change. The presentation included preliminary details for proposed traffic calming measures to achieve a reduction in vehicle speed and volume in order to comply with the recommendations for a bike boulevard. After a discussion regarding proposed measures, a motion was made by Member Zimmerman to approve the proposed Class 3 Bike Boulevard on Railroad Avenue from Adams Street to Fulton Lane, with the condition to explore a separated bike facility option through the Downtown Specific Plan process in the future. Member Smith seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Approval of the revisions to the recommended route is not a CEQA project.

Bike Boulevard
FEATURES OF A BIKE BOULEVARD
Route Planning
Bicycle boulevards are a key component of a low-stress bikeway network. These facilities appeal to a wider spectrum of the population than just bike lanes along busy streets.
Bicycle Boulevard Signs and Pavement Markings
Signs and pavement markings are the starting point for a bicycle boulevard. The addition of bike logos and the intentional lack of a centerline indicates to road users that a roadway is intended to be a shared street. Bikes and cars share the travel lanes and move at a similar speed.
Speed Management
Slower motorist speeds and visual cues to reduce overtaking events enhance drivers’ ability to see and react and diminish the severity of crashes if they occur.
Maintaining motor vehicle speeds closer to those of bicyclists greatly improves safety for all.
No Additional STOP signs
Both bike and vehicle traffic are allowed to flow as they have in the past with a slight reduction in speed. Railroad Avenue will still function as an alternate route to Main Street for local traffic.

City Staff request that the City Council
consider and adopt the new Vine Trail

Agenda Report to the City Council
Agenda Section: PUBLIC HEARINGS
Department: Administration
DATE: May 14, 2024
FROM: April Mitts, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Second Public Hearing of the Proposed Adoption of a City Charter.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Provide direction to City staff on any amendments to the proposed City Charter.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
April 9, 2024 - First Public Hearing
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
Conduct the Second Public Hearing regarding adoption of a City Charter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: If a proposed charter and real property transfer tax is placed on the November 2024 ballot, the City Clerk
estimates a cost of $60,000 in addition to approximately $5,000 for informational items. Funding for elections has been included in the FY 24 budget and will be rolled into the FY 25 budget.
BACKGROUND:
Over the last couple of years, it has become evident that the City of St. Helena needs a stable and alternate revenue source. During the last year, the City Council has examined the viability of several options and determined that pursuing a real property transfer tax is the most prudent choice. A real property transfer tax can only be implemented by Charter cities so the City Council will also need to provide the residents with the option to move from a General Law city to a Charter City.
Consistent with City Council Goal 1 - Strengthen Financial Resilience; Goal 2 - Improve Infrastructure and Further Environmental Sustainability, and Goal 5 - Enhance Quality of Life, and several other City Council Goals, the City Council has determined that there is need for additional revenues. Previously, the City Council has received several reports on financing and revenue options to address City infrastructure and staffing deficiencies.
February 28, 2023 - City Council received a presentation from Baker Tilly that included an updated Long Range Financial Forecast (LRFF) which provided financial projections and noted that the City would have to increase revenues and/or further adjust service levels. The presentation provided several ways of dealing with the financial situation including reducing expenditures, engaging more aggressively in shared services, selling city assets, helping increase business/economic activity, and increasing various types of fees and taxes. The conclusion was that if community expectations are to be met, Agenda Item #11.1.
addressing the fiscal gap by only reducing expenditures will not be sufficient and new revenue stream(s) should be considered.
May 23, 2023 - City Council discussed each of the revenue options and directed staff to pursue the Real Property Transfer Tax and other revenue enhancement options as needed.
July 25, 2023 - City Council further directed staff as follows:
1. Move forward with opinion research for a November 2024 Charter City/Real Property Transfer Tax (to be conducted in March/April 2024); and
2. Established a City Council Revenue Enhancement Ad Hoc Committee comprised of Vice Mayor Hall and Councilmember Summers to assist with: setting opinion research questions, develop ballot language, and, with the real property transfer tax and corresponding Charter Requirement, draft a charter for City Council consideration.
October 10, 2023 - Staff presented to City Council the two components to implement a real property transfer tax:
1. St. Helena must become a Charter City, and
2. St. Helena voters must pass a real property transfer tax.
Both components require a simple majority of votes at a general election and both components will need to be approved by the voters in order for the real property transfer tax to go into effect.
February 27, 2024 - City Council provided direction to staff on the preferred real property transfer tax structure and to conduct opinion research on the feasibility of the tax as follows:
Flat tax of 2.5% on all real property sales over $1 million; Graduated tax of 1.5% on sales between $1 and $5 million and 3% on all sales over $5 million; and
Sunset of tax after eight years.
March 12, 2024 - City Council was presented with information regarding the charter city.
The City of St. Helena was at one point a Charter City, it is currently a General Law city, which means the City is bound by the State of California's general law. Becoming a Charter City again will allow the City to have local authority over "municipal affairs" which includes the legal authority to enact a real property transfer tax measure.
Staff had been working with the City Council revenue Enhancement Ad Hoc Committee and legal counsel to develop recommend city charter language for Council consideration. While becoming a Charter City can be complicated, the recommendation Agenda Item #11.1.
from the Ad Hoc Committee, supported by an independent citizens group, is to bring the voters a simple and "limited" charter, as opposed to an "expansive" charter, which would provide the legal authority to enact a real property transfer tax (by approval of the voters) but continue to follow the General Law of the State of California in all other matters.
City Council directed staff to proceed with the recommended limited and "simple" charter and further directed staff to schedule two public hearings regarding a Charter City proposal.
April 9, 2024 - City Council conducted the first noticed public hearing fulfilling the requirements of California Government Code Section 34458(b) for a first public hearing to consider a city charter.
DISCUSSION:
Part of the process of developing a city charter involves holding two noticed public hearings. Tonight is the second noticed public hearing and fulfills the requirements of California Government Code Section 34458(b) for a second public hearing to consider a city charter.
Draft City Charter Proposal
The draft charter was presented to City Council on March 12, 2024, which can be accessed by clicking here: 031224 City Council Agenda Report. The first public hearing was properly noticed and held on April 9, 2024, and can be accessed here: 040924 City Council Agenda Report. This second public hearing has been properly noticed and the draft charter presented to the Council on March 12, 2024 and April 9, 2024, is attached for public comment and City Council consideration.

With all due respect, the above referenced agenda items would be better suited as a stand alone meeting as they will affect all residents. It appears they are being crammed into a very full agenda. Also not placed together on the agenda as one must be passed to enable the application of the other item. Possibly that is the intent to discourage attendees and objectives?

Agenda Section: PUBLIC HEARINGS
Department: Finance
DATE: May 14, 2024
FROM: Mandy Kellogg, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Proposed approval of a Resolution approving the issuance of the California Municipal Finance Authority multifamily housing revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $27,000,000 for the purpose of financing or refinancing the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of Hunt's Grove apartments and certain other
matters relating thereto.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
PURPOSE:
The purpose is to conduct a public hearing under the Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act ("TEFRA") in
connection with the proposed issuance of revenue bonds
by the California Municipal Finance Authority (the
"CMFA"), a joint exercise of powers authority and public entity of the State of California, in an amount not-toexceed $27,000,000, (the "Bonds"), to finance or refinance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of a multifamily rental housing project located at 548 Hunt Avenue, St. Helena, California (the "Project").
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project.
BACKGROUND:
The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004 pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 350 municipalities, including the City, have become members of CMFA.
The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standards of living in California. The CMFA's representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financings.
Agenda Item #11.2.
There are no costs associated with membership in the CMFA and the City will in no way become exposed to any financial liability by reason of its membership in the CMFA. In addition, participation by the City in the CMFA will not impact the City's appropriations limits and will not constitute any type of indebtedness by the City. Outside of holding the TEFRA Hearing, adopting the required resolution and executing the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement of the CMFA, no other participation or activity of the City or the City Council with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will be required.
The Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement expressly provides that any member may withdraw from such agreement upon written notice to the Board of Directors of the CMFA. In the case of the proposed bond financing for the Borrower, the City could, at any time following the issuance of the Bonds, withdraw from the CMFA by providing written notice to the Board of Directors of the CMFA.
DISCUSSION:
Hunt Pradera II LP (the "Borrower") has requested that the CMFA serve as the municipal issuer of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not-to-exceed $27,000,000 of tax-exempt revenue bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance or refinance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of a multifamily rental housing project located at 548 Hunt Avenue, St. Helena, California.
In order for all or a portion of the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of St.
Helena must conduct a public hearing (the "TEFRA Hearing") providing for the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of taxexempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Prior to such TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to the members of the community. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an "applicable elected representative" of the governmental unit hosting the Project must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the Project.
The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligations, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the City or the State of California but are to be paid for solely form the funds provided by the Borrower.
The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the "Foundation"), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of St. Helena, it is expected that a portion of the issuance fee Agenda Item #11.2.
attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the general fund of the City. Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City.
In light of the foregoing, and in order to support affordable housing, staff recommends that the City conduct the TEFRA Hearing and adopt the resolutions in favor of the issuance of the Bonds by the CMFA.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact. City will still receive $800,000 for the value of the land.
BACKGROUND:
Hunt Avenue Associates was formed as a limited partnership on July 23, 1990, to develop and operate a 56-unit rental housing complex called Hunt’s Grove Apartments located at 548 Hunt Avenue in St. Helena. Hunt Avenue Associates is controlled by its general partner, Hunt Avenue, Inc., which is a non-profit organization, under the control of the Board of Directors of BRIDGE Housing Corporation and Napa Valley Community Housing.
On May 15, 1991, a Ground Lease was entered into by and between the City of St.
Helena, a municipal corporation, as landlord, and BRIDGE Housing Corporation a California non-profit public benefit corporation, as tenant. Hunt Avenue Associates subleases the land on which the Project was built from BRIDGE. The initial lease term was for 55 years commencing on August 7, 1991, expiring in 2046. Under the current ground lease, the City receives Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per year ("Basic Land Rent"), plus fifty percent (50%) of the Net Operating Income of the Development for the prior fiscal year as determined based on the audited financial statement for the Development.
Agenda Item #12.1.
On June 11, 1991, the city council approved a resolution approving a promissory note and deed of trust between BRIDGE Housing and the City related to fees due to the city in the amount of $762,752 that were deferred at the issuance of the building permits.
The date of the note is June 18, 1991, and the note receivable accrues simple interest at 3% with a maturity date of August 8, 2022. BRIDGE Housing was required to make an initial payment to the note in the amount of $242,707 plus simple interest reducing the principal balance to $520,045, this payment was made on August 8, 1992.
BRIDGE and NVCH came to St. Helena City Council on August 22, 2023, to request the loan extension, option to ground lease, and prepaid ground lease note, to enable a tax credit and bond resyndication and rehabilitation of La Pradera and the sister property in Calistoga, La Pradera. The development team applied for 4% tax credit and bond financing in September 2023, and was awarded tax credits and bond financing on December 6, 2023, kicking off the 194-day clock to close on construction by June 17, 2024. Staff is now seeking final approval of the Loan Documents from both St. Helena and Calistoga.
DISCUSSION:
1. Loan Extension:
The requested extension is for a new term of 57 years, accruing interest at the applicable federal rate (AFR) at time of closing. Project residual receipts shall be annually payable to City to pay down the balances of the City loan. There will also be a new Regulatory Agreement to run with the loan for a term of 57 years. Extending the loan terms and regulatory agreement will provide continued affordable housing for current and future residents.
Principal - $431,499*
Interest - AFR at time of closing in June 2024
Term - 57 years, maturity date in 2081
Repayment - Pro rata share of project residual receipts shall be annually payable to City to pay down the balances of the City loan.
Rent Restriction - At least twenty seven (27) Affordable Units shall be restricted for occupancy by qualifying at or below 80% AMI. The remaining units shall be set aside for at or below 120% AMI.
Subordination - Loan will be subordinate to loans from both Umpqua Bank and HCD.
*Principal will be the sum of outstanding principal and accrued interest at the time of closing in June 2024.
2. Ground Lease:
Bridge and NVCH are seeking the new ground lease for two primary purposes: First, they would be unable to secure tax credits with the remaining term on the Ground Lease limited to 23 years. Second, the structure of the original ground lease is outdated and it would benefit both parties to bring it up to current standards. The new ground Agenda Item #12.1.
lease will be between thew new ownership entity, Hunt Pradera II, L.P, and City of St.
Helena.
Term - 99 years
Base Rent - Commencing on the Commencement Date and during the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay annual rent of ONE DOLLAR ($1) (the “Base Rent”).
Base Rent shall be payable in arrears on each anniversary of the Commencement Date.
Carryback Loan* – Tenant agrees to make a one-time additional payment on the Commencement Date of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000), which amount Landlord shall loan to Tenant (the “Carryback Loan”) on the Commencement Date.
o Principal - $800,000
o Term - 57 years
o Interest - 3% per year
o Repayment - Pro rata share of project residual receipts. *As part of the due diligence for the rehabilitation project, BRIDGE & NVCH prepared an appraisal for the proposed 99-year ground lease, and found that based on the 99 term and the affordability restrictions, the lease has a fair market value of $800,000. The lease payments would, however, be funded through a loan from the City in an amount not to exceed $800,000. The loan would have a term of 57 years, would accrue interest at the rate of 3% per year, and would be payable out of a portion of “residual receipts.” “Residual receipts” are comprised of the cash flow generated from the project after all other expenses are paid.
3. Financing Plan:
As indicated above, the Loan Extension and Ground Lease are part of a broader financing plan by Bridge and NVCH to obtain the financing for rehabilitation of the property. The new entity, Hunt Pradera II, L.P. (“Hunt Pradera II”), will obtain the following loans secured against the City property and the Calistoga property:
Construction Loan. Hunt Pradera II is obtaining a construction loan from Umpqua Bank in the amount of approximately $19,878,651, which is funded through tax credit financing and a bond issuance by the California Municipal Finance Agency. HCD Loan. Hunt Pradera II is obtaining a loan from the California Department of Housing and Community Development in the amount of $5,840,685. Seller Loans. Hunt Pradera II is acquiring the rights and interests in the City’s property (a leasehold interest) and the Calistoga property from the current ownership entities, and those current ownership entities are lending funds to Hunt Pradera II. The Seller Loans include a loan of $754,185 from the current ownership entity of the City property and a loan of $646,444 against from the Agenda Item #12.1.
current ownership entity of the Calistoga property, and the loans will be secured by a deed of trust against Hunt Pradera II’s interests in both properties. Sponsor Loan. Hunt Pradera II is obtaining two sponsor loans. BRIDGE Housing Corporation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation is lending approximately $5,953,708, and Napa Valley Community Housing, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation in lending approximately $3,969,139. These loans will also be secured by a deed of trust against Hunt Pradera II’s interests in both properties.
City of Calistoga Loan. The City of Calistoga is extending an existing loan in the amount of approximately $253,878.
To Summarize, Hunt Pradera II will incur the following loans in order of priority:
Loan (In Order of Priority) Amount
Construction Loan $19,878,651
HCD Loan $5,840,685
City of St. Helena (New Carryback) $800,000
City of St. Helena (Loan Extension) $431,449
City of Calistoga* $253,878
Seller Loans $1,400,629
Sponsor Loans $9,922,847
Total Loans $38,528,139
Note: All loan numbers are approximate.
*This lien may be recorded senior to the City of St. Helena lien on the Calistoga property.
Another aspect of the financing plan is that all of the loans listed above will be secured by the St. Helena and Calistoga properties. Thus, St. Helena’s loan will be secured by a deed of trust recorded against the Calistoga property, and the Calistoga loan will be secured by a deed of trust recorded against the St. Helena property. The reason for this is that the re-syndication is treating these two properties as part of the same ownership and operation for scattered-site affordable housing, and therefore the financing for each is tied to each other.
Finally, as indicated by the Order of Priority above, the St. Helena loans (the Loan Extension and New Carryback loan) will be subordinate to the Construction Loan and the HCD Loan. This means that, in the event of a foreclosure, then the City loans would have junior priority for repayment as compared to the senior loans, which creates the risk that the City loans would not be repaid in the event of a foreclosure scenario.

6. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS/LATE CHARGE.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed to, in writing, or otherwise required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued, unpaid interest, then to any unpaid collection costs, late charges and other charges, and any remaining amount to principal, provided, however, during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined herein or in any other Loan Document, Lender reserves the right to apply payments among principal, interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges in such order of priority as Lender shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion. All prepayments shall be applied to the indebtedness owing hereunder in such order and manner as Lender may from time to time determine in its sole discretion.

The undersigned acknowledges that, during the time that any amount is in default, Lender will incur losses that are impracticable, costly, and inconvenient to ascertain. Those losses include, without limitation, the ability to invest amounts then due at the current rate of return and the unavailability of liquid funds. The undersigned agrees that the interest payable hereunder represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of the execution of this Note and represents a reasonable estimate of the losses Lender will incur by reason of late payment. The undersigned further agrees that proof of actual losses would be costly, inconvenient, impracticable, and extremely difficult to fix.
Acceptance of the interest will not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment and will not prevent Lender from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available under this Note and/or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

This assignment of Rents is intended to create and shall be construed to create an absolute assignment to Beneficiary of all of Trustor’s right, title, and interest in the Rents. So long as no default exists by Trustor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or in any other covenant contained herein, or in said note or notes or in any other document evidencing or securing such indebtedness, Trustor shall have the right to collect all Rents from the Property and to retain, use, and enjoy the same. Upon the occurrence of such a default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, without the necessity of demand or other notice to Trustor or any other act to enforce Beneficiary’s interest pursuant to this assignment, Trustor shall have no interest whatsoever in the Rents that are received by Trustor after a default, and all such Rents shall be received and held by Trustor in constructive trust for Beneficiary and delivered promptly to Beneficiary, or to a court-appointed receiver for the Property, without the necessity for further notice to, or demand upon, Trustor. Upon the occurrence of such a default, Agenda Item #12.1.
83578.00012\42274830.1
Attachment 3
beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, and at any time thereafter during the continuance thereof, Beneficiary may, at its option, send any tenant of the Property a notice to the effect that:
(a) a default has occurred; (b) Beneficiary has elected to exercise its rights under this assignment; and (c) such tenant is thereby directed to thereafter make all payments of Rents to or for the benefit of Beneficiary or as Beneficiary shall direct. Any such tenant shall be entitled to rely upon any notice from Beneficiary and shall be protected with respect to any payment of Rents made pursuant to such notice, irrespective of whether a dispute exists between Trustor and Beneficiary with respect to the existence of a default or the rights of Beneficiary hereunder. Any such tenant shall not be required to investigate or determine the validity or accuracy of such notice or the validity or enforceability of this assignment. Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold any such tenant harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from or related to any payment of Rents by such tenant made in reliance on and pursuant to such notice.
10. Default and Foreclosure. Upon default by Trustor in payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, subject to any applicable notice and cure period, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of a declaration of default and demand for sale and of a notice of default and of a notice of sale, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, said note or notes, and all documents evidencing expenditures secured by this Deed of Trust. Upon default of any obligation secured by this Deed of Trust and acceleration of all sums due, Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to proceed with a sale of the Property under the power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust, noticed and held in accordance with California Civil Code Sections 2924, et seq., as such statutes may be amended from time to time. Trustor waives all rights it may have to require marshaling of assets or to require sales of assets in any particular order, including any rights under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3455.
11. Distribution of Foreclosure Proceeds. The proceeds generated by any Foreclosure (“Proceeds”) shall be distributed as follows: (i) First, senior liens and encumbrances (if any) on the Project shall be fully paid from the Proceeds; (ii) Second, Beneficiary shall be fully paid any amounts owing under the Secured Obligations; (iii) Third, to the Trustor to the extent the Trustor or its affiliate has unreimbursed predevelopment costs advanced in connection with the Project; (iv) Fourth, Beneficiary shall be paid the difference between the appraised value of the completed Project (applicable portion thereof) as restricted by the Affordable Housing Covenant (“Restricted Value”) and the Proceeds (“Differential”); (v) Fifth, any remaining Proceeds shall be distributed in accordance with California Civil Code Section 2924(k). The Differential shall be deposited in Beneficiary’s housing fund. Trustor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Loan Agreement and this Deed of Trust constitutes a lien against the Project and the Differential, including in accordance with California Civil Code Sections 2872, 2924 to 2924h, inclusive (“Differential Lien”). In the event of a Foreclosure, for purposes of distribution of the Differential only, the Differential Lien shall be considered a junior lien or encumbrance within the meaning of California Civil Code section 2924k(a)(3). Trustor hereby irrevocably instructs any holder of the Differential or similar proceeds generated by Foreclosure to immediately disburse the Differential to Beneficiary, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Beneficiary and such holder harmless from any and all claims related to such distribution.
