SUMMARY:
In accordance with Health and Safety Code ( "HSC ") Section 34191.4(b), the City of
Tustin ( "City ") and the Successor Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment
Agency ( "Successor Agency") are seeking to amend and reinstate the Affordable
Housing Reimbursement Agreement ( "Reimbursement Agreement ") entered into on
June 5, 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:

reinstating the Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement between the City of
Tustin and the Successor Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency
and authorize the Mayor to execute the Third Amendment to the Reimbursement
Agreement.

amended to comply with HSC Section 34191.4(b)(2) and the payment schedule will
reflect the revised interest rate.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
Amending the Reimbursement Agreement addresses Goal C — Financial Strength,
sustaining long -term financial strength with adequate reserves and enhanced capacity
to provide a sustainable level of City Services.
BACKGROUND:
On June 5, 2007, the Tustin City /Council and Tustin Community Redevelopment
Agency approved and authorized the execution of a "Reimbursement Agreement
Between the City of Tustin and the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency Related
to Affordable Housing Responsibilities To Be Assumed by the Agency on June 5, 2007'
(the "Original Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement") to assist the Agency in
carrying out its affordable housing obligations under the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment
Plan. On January 10, 2010, and February 1, 2011, the City Council and Agency
approved and authorized the execution of the First and Second Amendments to the
Reimbursement Agreement.
The Reimbursement Agreement required the Agency to reimburse the City for the 118
affordable housing units produced on property originally owned by the City and sold to
John Laing Homes at a discount. The affordable housing units are located at Tustin
Fields I & II and are comprised of 33 Very Low - Income, 23 Low - Income, and 62
Moderate - Income units, which are secured by promissory notes and deeds of trusts by
the City that reflect a total promissory note value associated with production of the
affordable housing units of $46,407,736. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2007/2008, the
Agency began to make annual payments.
On June 29, 2011, Assembly Bill X1 26 became effective, causing the dissolution and
wind down of all redevelopment agencies ( "Dissolution Act "). All redevelopment
agencies in California were dissolved as of and on February 1, 2012, and the Successor
Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency became responsible for
winding down redevelopment activities in the City of Tustin. In compliance with Health
and Safety Code ( "HSC ") Section 34177, the Successor Agency submitted a
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ( "ROPS ") on March 15, 2012 to the State of
California Department of Finance ( "DoF ") for approval. The ROPS included a request
for Trust Funds to reimburse the City in accordance with the Affordable Housing
Reimbursement Agreement. On March 29, 2012, DoF denied the City's request for
payment, stating it was not an enforceable obligation. On April 10, 2012, the City
protested DoF's denial but did not have any other recourse under the existing statute at
that time.

On August 29, 2012, the Successor Agency submitted the Third ROPS to DoF, which
included the Reimbursement Agreement payment request. On October 13, 2012, DoF
again denied the item, continuing with their stance that it was not an enforceable
obligation. Since there was an opportunity to reinstate the Agreement through a Finding
of Completion ( "Finding ") provision in the statute, the Successor Agency chose not to
request a "Meet and Confer" with DoF on this matter. On May 10, 2013, the Successor
Agency remitted what it believed to be its last remaining unencumbered funds to the
Orange County Auditor - Controller and on May 13, 2013, requested a Finding from DoF.
On July 3, 2013, DoF informed the Successor Agency that a Finding would not be
issued until after the Successor Agency remitted the principal and interest due on
December 1, 2013 for the December 31, 2008 Promissory Note between the City and
Successor Agency. DoF's failure to issue the required finding of completion is contrary
to the requirements under HSC Section 34179.7, including their failure to provide a
response within five business days of the Agency's May 13th request. In response, the
City, the Successor Agency and the Tustin Housing Authority have filed a "Petition for
Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief' from the Superior
Court of the State of California. Included in the Petition is a request for the Court to
recognize the Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement as an enforceable
obligation.
In anticipation of the upcoming March court hearing and in consultation with the City's
attorneys, Staff believes it is prudent to amend and reinstate the Reimbursement
Agreement prior to the Judge hearing our case. In compliance with HSC Section
34191.4(b)(2), the amended Reimbursement Agreement provides a payment schedule
at the Local Agency Investment Fund interest rate.
Upon City Council and Successor Agency approval, the Third Amendment to the
Reimbursement Agreement will be submitted to the Oversight Board of the Successor
Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency on January 28, 2014 for their
consideration. Should the Oversight Board approve the amended Reimbursement
Agreement as an enforceable obligation, it will be submitted to DoF for final approval.
Staff will be available to respond to any questions the City Council may have.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
(CITY OF TUSTIN AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE
TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RELATED TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESPONSIBILITIES
ASSUMED BY THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY)
This THIRD AMENDMENT TO REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (City of Tustin
and the Successor Agency to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency Related to Affordable
Housing Responsibilities Assumed by the Successor Agency) ( "Third Amendment") is entered into
as of this 21s' day of January, 2014 ( "Effective Date ") by and between the CITY OF TUSTIN,
a municipal corporation ( "City "), and the SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TUSTIN
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a public body corporate and politic
( "Successor Agency ").
RECITALS
A. The City has previously acquired from the Department of the Navy certain real property
within the Marine Corps Air Station- Tustin Redevelopment Project Area ( "MCAS Project ") for
resale to developers for the development of residential uses including a specified number of
affordable housing units pursuant to the MCAS Tustin Reuse Plan/Specific Plan and the MCAS
Project Redevelopment Plan. The Redevelopment Plan was developed in accordance with California
Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq. ( "CRL ").
B. On June 5, 2007 the City and the former Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency
( "former Agency ") entered into an agreement ( "Reimbursement Agreement") pursuant to which the
former Agency agreed to reimburse the City from Tax Increment received by the former Agency
from the MCAS Project, South Central Project, Town Center Project and other available former
Agency resources, including funds deposited into the former Agency's Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund for the development of one hundred eighteen (118) affordable housing units at
Tustin Field I & II in the MCAS Project.
C. The Reimbursement Agreement was entered into as a result of insufficient tax increment
revenue in the MCAS Tustin Project Area being available to provide subsidies to developers at the
levels that would permit the development of the affordable housing on an economically feasible basis
due to the properties having been tax exempt as federal military land that generated no property taxes
available to be expended to write -down or otherwise cause development of the land in conformity
with the federal agreements being implemented as a part of base closure and reuse. In order to assist
the former Agency in meeting its affordable housing obligations in the MCAS Tustin Project Area,
the City of Tustin entered into an agreement to sell certain property ( "Property ") at a discount
sufficient to permit developers to economically develop the required number of affordable housing
units.
D. To assist the former Agency in ensuring that such affordable housing units developed on such
Property were and continue to be sold and remain available at affordable housing costs to, and
occupied by, persons and families of very low to moderate income at a subsidized sale price for at
least the forty -five (45) years for owner - occupied units prescribed by CRL Section 33334.3(f), and to
provide for future ongoing monitoring requirements for such affordable units under CRL Section
33418, the City has encumbered such affordable housing units with covenants and deeds of trust that
securitized the monetary investment and performance obligations of the trustor /homebuyer.
The difference between the market value of each affordable unit and the affordable sale price of each
and all affordable housing units is represented by the gap funding assistance provided to affordable
homebuyers, each and all evidenced by promissory notes secured by second deeds of trust in favor of
the City, hereinafter together referred to as the "Housing Affordability Subsidy ".
E. The City's Housing Affordability Subsidy for the development of one hundred eighteen (118)
affordable units at Tustin Field I & II is $46,407,736.
F. On January 5, 2010, the City and former Agency entered into a First Amendment to the
Reimbursement Agreement ( "First Amendment "). On February 1, 2011, the City and former Agency
entered into a Second Amendment to the Reimbursement Agreement ( "Second Amendment "). The
Reimbursement Agreement, First Amendment, Second Amendment and this Third Amendment
between the City and the Successor Agency shall also be collectively referred to as the
Reimbursement Agreement.
G. The former Agency was established as a community redevelopment agency that was
previously organized and existing under the California Community Redevelopment Law and
previously authorized to transact business and exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency
pursuant to action of the City Council ( "City Council ") of the City.
H. Assembly Bill xl 26 ( "AB xl 26 ") added Parts 1.8 and 1.85 to Division 24 of the California
Health & Safety Code and which laws were modified, in part, and determined constitutional by the
California Supreme Court in the petition California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana
Matosantos, et al., Case No. S194861 ( "Matosantos Decision "), which laws and court opinion
caused the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies and winding down of the affairs of former
redevelopment agencies; thereafter, such laws were amended further by Assembly Bill 1484
( "AB 1484 ") and by Senate Bill 341 that affects affordable housing assets (together AB xl 26, the
Matosantos Decision, AB 1484 and SB 341 are referred to as the "Dissolution Laws "), and all
statutory references herein are to the Health and Safety Code of the Dissolution Laws unless
otherwise stated.
L As of February 1, 2012 the former Agency was dissolved pursuant to the Dissolution Laws
and as a separate public entity, corporate and politic the Successor Agency administers the
enforceable obligations of the former Agency and otherwise unwinds the former Agency's affairs, all
subject to the review and approval by a seven - member oversight board ( "Oversight Board ").
J. Section 34179 provides that the Oversight Board has fiduciary responsibilities to holders of
enforceable obligations and the affected taxing entities that benefit from distributions of property tax
and other revenues pursuant to Section 34188 of Part 1.85 of the Dissolution Laws.
K. In accordance with the Dissolution Laws and in order to receive Redevelopment Property
Tax Trust Funds, the Successor Agency submitted the Reimbursement Agreement on one or more
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules for review and approval by the State of California
Department of Finance ( "DoF ").
L. DoF denied and continues to the deny the Reimbursement Agreement, stating it is not an
enforceable obligation and indicated the Successor Agency could seek to reinstate the
Reimbursement Agreement upon receiving a Finding of Completion ( "Finding ").
Pa
M. On May 10, 2013, the Successor Agency remitted what it believed to be its last remaining
unencumbered funds to the Orange County Auditor - Controller and on May 13, 2013, requested a
Finding from DoF.
N. On July 3, 2013, DoF informed the Successor Agency that a Finding would not be issued
until after the Successor Agency remitted the principal and interest due on December 1, 2013 for the
December 31, 2008 Promissory Note between the City and Successor Agency, which note was not
due at the time of the July 2012 "true -up" payment, nor at the time of the DoF's completion of the
due diligence review reports.
O. In response, the City, the Successor Agency and the Tustin Housing Authority, as housing
successor under Section 34176 and 34176.1, have filed a "Petition for Writ of Mandate and
Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief' in the Superior Court, County of Sacramento, State
of California ( "Petition ").
P. While the Finding has been withheld from the Successor Agency under the Dissolution Laws,
nonetheless as a part of the facts and information to be submitted to the Superior Court in connection
with advancing the Petition, the City and the Successor Agency have determined it necessary and
appropriate to amend and reinstate the Reimbursement Agreement originally entered into by and
between the City of Tustin and the former Agency on June 5, 2007 as an enforceable obligation.
Q. In accordance with the Dissolution Laws, the Reimbursement Agreement, as amended and
reinstated, will also require the Oversight Board to review and deem it an enforceable obligation and
then submit such action to the DoF for review and approval.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Amendment of Paragraph 1. Paragraph 1 of the Reimbursement Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"The Successor Agency agrees to reimburse the City for the Affordable Housing
Subsidy from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds transferred by the county
auditor - controller into the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund of the Successor
Agency. The City and the Successor Agency agree that, as the date of the original
Amendment, the amount of the Affordable Housing Subsidy was Forty -Six Million Four
Hundred Seven Thousand and Seven Hundred and Thirty -Six Dollars ($46,407,736). As a
result of a larger principal payment made in FY 2007 -2008 and the issuance of Tax
Allocation Housing Bonds, net Twenty -Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($23,500,000), used to make a larger principal payment in FY 2009 -2010, the remaining
balance to be repaid to the City is Sixteen Million Three Hundred Ninety -Three Thousand
and One Hundred Seventy -Seven Dollars ($16,393,177)."
2. Amendment of Paragraph 5. Paragraph 5 of the Reimbursement Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"The obligations of the Successor Agency to make payments to the City required
under this Agreement shall constitute a recognized obligation of the Successor Agency for
the purpose of carrying out the closing out activities under the Dissolution Laws and are to be
repaid to the City by the Successor Agency with interest at the interest rate earned by funds
3
deposited into the Local Agency Investment Fund, pursuant to Health and Safety Code
Section 34191.4(b)(2). The defined Debt Service Schedule is attached as EXHIBIT `A' and
fully incorporated by this reference. The principal balance is updated to reflect all payments
made since June 5, 2007, including the 2010 Housing Bond proceeds payment in FY
2009 - 2010."
3. Incorporation of Recitals. Each recital set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement
and above in this Third Amendment shall be deemed to be part of the Reimbursement Agreement as
amended by this Third Amendment.
4. Third Amendment. This Third Amendment constitutes a part of the Reimbursement
Agreement and any reference to the Reimbursement Agreement shall be deemed to include a
reference to such Reimbursement Agreement as amended hereby.
5. Full Force and Affect. Except as otherwise amended previously and herein, all terms,
covenants, conditions and provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement shall remaining full force and
effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City and the Successor Agency have executed the
Third Amendment as of the Effective Date.
