ITEM TITLE: Joint resolution of the City Council and the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Chula Vista approving a two-party agreement hetween the

The item before the City Council and Agency is a request for the City Council and Agency to
approve the proposed contract with Economic and Planning Systems, Inc., to provide consulting
servcies and the preparation of a facilities implementation plan for the Urban Core Specific Plan.
This task is an essential and parallel product which will assess and assure that the Specific Plan
public facility needs and proposals can be implemented to serve new development in the plan
area.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council and Agency adopt a Resolution approving a two-party agreement between the
City of Chula Vista and Economic and Planning Systems, Inc., to provide a public facilities
implementation program for the Urban Core Specific Plan, and authorizing the Mayor to execute
said agreement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Background
In January, 2004, the City Council/Agency approved a work program and consultant contract to
commence preparation of the Urban Core Specific Plan. The preparation of the Specific Plan is
currently proceeding on schedule. An important component of the Urban Core project, not
included in the planning contract, is the preparation of a facilities finance plan.
In order to identify the most qualified firm to assist the City in preparing the facilities finance
plan, City staff conducted a selection process in compliance with Chula Vista Municipal Code
g2.56.IIO.C. As result of this highly competitive bid and review process, staff proposes the City
contract with Economic and Planning Systems, Inc., to prepare the facilities finance plan
Page 2, Item No.: d--
Meeting Date: 04/19/05
component of the Urban Core project. The proposed contract, including a detailed scope of
work, is attached to this Agenda Statement.
The Task
The facilities plan for the Urban Core Specific Plan is of critical importance. Among the key
benefits of the Specific Plan will be amenities and capacity enhancements, in the form of such
things as parks, pedestrian spaces, utilities, transit accommodation and roadway improvements.
The effort to plan and program the delivery of these essential public facilities within the Urban
Core will be especially challenging. In new communities, the City has assessed such matters
through the preparation of Public Facilities Finance Plans (PFFPs). These documents have
served well to address the extension of facilities coinciding with the relatively short-term timing
of new master planned neighborhoods and subdivision improvements. The Urban Core presents
a vastly different set of circumstances: the placement or upgrading of public facilities within an
existing neighborhood, in support of infill and redevelopment over a period of perhaps decades.
The challenge of the Urban Core requires the skills of a consultant that can not only translate the
fixed expenses of facilities but also provide a reliable and adaptable system to monitor and phase
implementation. Economics and Planning Systems, Inc., together with an on-call engineering
subcontractor McGill, Martin and Self, will provide technical competence, broad experience and
understanding of local process. They were selected over five other responsive firms,
interviewed by a review panel with representatives from the City's Engineering, Park Design,
and Planning and Community Development departments, as representing the best combination of
value and approach to the task.
Contractor Status and Background
Economic and Planning Systems, Inc., has current contracts with the City of Chula Vista as
described in the table below

for delay.
Failure to complete the Defined Services within the allotted time period specified in this
Agreement shall result in the following penalty: For each consecutive calendar day in excess of
the time specified for the completion of the respective work assignment or Deliverable, the
consultant shall pay to the City, or have withheld from monies due, the sum of Liquidated
Damages Rate provided in Exhibit A, Paragraph 14 ("Liquidated Damages Rate").
Time extensions for delays beyond the consultant's control, other than delays caused by
the City, shall be requested in writing to the City's Contract Administrator, or designee, prior to
the expiration of the specified time. Extensions of time, when granted, will be based upon the
effect of delays to the work and will not be granted for delays to minor portions of work unless it
can be shown that such delays did or will delay the progress of the work.

7. General Duties:
Consultant will prepare an implementation program for the Urban Core Specific Plan,
a planning policy and regulatory plan of the City of Chula Vista. The consultant shall
provide economic, fiscal, cost and funding projection services related to public
infrastructure financing and implementation within a built urban area. These services
are as set forth in a bid document dated March 10, 2005.
8. Scope of Work and Schedule
A. Detailed Scope of Work
Within the General Duties described above, and as more fully set forth in the
Consultant's proposal dated March 10, 2005, Consultant and Sub Consultants
shall perform all of the following to the satisfaction of the Deputy Director of
Community Development. Under direction of City staff, and subject to
refinement as a part of Task I, specific tasks and sub-tasks tasks will include:
Task I-Project Initiation
Consultant will undertake subtasks to culminate in a final Work Program for the
Financing Plan. These will include:
Task 1.1: Initial Meeting - Consultant will organize an initial meeting
with Staff to establish liaison, design a management framework and
direction, and assess data and technical resources;
Task 1.2: Coordination with Specific Plan Preparation - Consultant
will assess what has been accomplished and coordinate with the Specific
Plan consulting team and staff to assure maximum use of work completed
to date and to avoid overlapping or conflicting efforts;
Task 1.3: Staff/Consultant Workshop - Consultant will coordinate a
daylong workshop to discuss all aspects of the Financing Plan providing
an initial sketch of its form and contents, an initial policy framework, and
analysis of key issues or problems that will be confronted; and
Task 1.4: Work Program Specification - Consultant will use the results
of the Workshop to provide a detailed assessment of data needs, technical
analysis, resource requirements, and assignments for the Consultant,
specialist consultants, and staff. This Work Program Specification will be
set forth in a technical memorandum that may result in changes and
additions to this proposed work program.
Task 2-Development Prospects
In Task 2, Consultant will test market support, characterize likely future demand,
and provide the development scenarios that are necessary for establishing facility
requirements and financing programs.
Task 2.1: Development Capacity Analysis - Development capacities
9/26/0 I
J:ICOMMDEV\AGREEMENTSIUCSPPFFContractEPS-redline-final.doc
Page 14
information from the draft plan and environmental documents will be
obtained, reviewed, and updated by the Consultant as needed to provide
the necessary data for subsequent steps.
Task 2.2: Market Analysis - Consultant will overview the regional
market for key land uses, relying on the information prepared for the
General Plan, will be conducted in order to understand the uses and
intensities of development that are likely to emerge in the Urban Core
Area given the policy framework of the Specific Plan.
Task 2.3: Development Feasibility Analysis - Consultant will conduct
development feasibility of individual development prototypes using pro
forma financial analysis. The development feasibility analysis will help
establish the potential for new development in the Urban Core Area to
absorb development exactions or land-based financing requirements.
Task 2.4: Development Scenarios - Consultant will combine the
development capacity analysis and the market analysis leading to the
preparation of development scenarios, two likely "market outcomes" for
the Urban Core Area, given market realities. Consultant willdocument
this information in a Technical Memorandum and to be used in subsequent
tasks for estimating the need for public facilities and for fiscal and
financial forecasting.
Task 3-Public Facilities Assessment
It is assumed that the information required for the public facilities assessment is
largely available from the City's public works staff and prior engineering studies
done for the Urban Core Area (including the Specific Plan and related EIR). Sub
consultant will be engaged as needed, including a civil engineer and traffic
engineer, to complete additional analysis or assessment.
Task 3.1: Inventory of Existing Facilities and Services - Consultant
will review City's data regarding the location, condition, and deficiencies
in local infrastructure. This inventory and assessment data will be
assembled and evaluated, by Consultant, for completeness; Consultant will
update where necessary and will document the inventory in a
"spreadsheet" data base format.
Task 3.2: Planned Facilities - Consultant will identify currently planned
or constructed Urban Core Area Improvements through discussions with
the City's public works staff, and these will be added to the public
facilities database.
Task 3.3: Facility Requirements - Consultant will compare General Plan
Program and related updates to the City's Growth Management Program
to establish that "service standards thresholds" appropriate for an
urbanizing area have occurred. Consultant will establish facility
requirements by applying the development capacity and development
scenarios to the service standards. The need for additional facilities and
improvement will be derived, by Consultant, taking into consideration the
existing and planned complement of public facilities. Consultant has
9/26/0 I
J:ICOMMOEV\AGREEMENTSIUCSPPFFContractEPS-redline-final.doc
Page 1
retained McGill Martin Self, Inc. (MMS) to provide additional detail and
analysis as necessary. Task 3.4: Urban Core Improvement Program-
The already-planned and newly determined public facility needs will be
documented by the Consultant in an Urban Core Improvement Program
(UCIP). This list, in spreadsheet format that includes corresponding cost
estimates and other details, will be the basis of subsequent financial
analysis. It is expected that the initial UCIP will be a "work-in-progress"
as the PFFP evolves.
Task 4-Funding Sources and Uses
This task will evaluate sources of funding necessary to implement the facilities
program derived by the Consultant in previous tasks.
Task 4.1: Document And Estimate Funding Sources - In this task the
Consultant will document funding available from all available or possible
sources including: I) municipal sources (e.g., City General Funds); 2)
Redevelopment Agency sources (e.g., property tax increment); 3) grants-
in-aid (e.g., federal highway funding); and 4) area-specific sources,
including assessments, special taxes, and impact fees.
Task 4.2: Financing Options and Strategy - The funding sources
identified in Task 4.1 often have a relationship to specific public facility
types. In Task 4.2, Consultant will provide an initial assessment of
funding requirements, options, and strategies using the financial model to
organize the identified options into to a series of strategies.
Task 5--Urban Core Development Impact Fee Framework
One of the key components of the PFFP is creating the policy and technical basis
for an Urban Core Area Development Impact Fee (UCDIF). Consultant will
prepare the technical analysis described above in a manner that supports this
objective. The following tasks detail the additional work that will be required to
establish the UCDIF:
Task 5.1: Select UCDIF-funded Projects - Using the financing
strategy conducted in Task 4.2, the Consultant, working with staff select
candidate projects that will be funded, all or in part, by the UCDIF. It is
expected that the list will evolve over time as further analysis is
conducted.
Task 5.2: Conduct Nexus Analysis - Consultant will identify the types
of public facility projects, or, in some instances, specific facilities that
will require a "nexus" analysis that documents, consistent with the
requirements of Government Code 66000, the linkage between the need
for the facility and new development. Consultant will provide this
analysis.
Task 5.3: Feasibility Testing of Impact Fees - A key issue for funding
with a UCDIF will be the impact of additional development costs on
9/26/01
J:\COMMOEVlAGREEMENTS\UCSPPFFConlractEPS-redline-final.doc
Page 16
development feasibility. The market demand and financial feasibility of
the uses envisioned for the Urban Core will have been explored in Task
2.3, which will provide an early assessment of the likely amount of
additional "financial burden" that is consistent with attracting private
developers and investment capital to the Urban Core Area. Consultant
will evaluate where these results may require adjustments to the UCDIF
funded project list or the share of cost included in the fee program. This
process is expected to yield guidelines for establishing the UCDIF in a
manner that is consistent with City objectives.
Task 5.4: Implementation Guidelines - As noted above, Task 5 is
intended to provide the technical basis for establishing the appropriate
UCDIF ordinance and related fee schedule resolutions. Consultant will
outline the necessary procedural steps required to implement the UCDIF.
Task 6-Fiscal Analysis
The Consultant will develop a standard spreadsheet-based fiscal analysis for the
Urban Core area, focusing on the operating budget of the City's General Fund, the
details of the technical specification for such fiscal analysis can be resolved as a
part of Task I.
Task 6.1: Forecast Municipal Operating and Maintenance Costs _
Consultant will prepare a forecast of municipal operating and maintenance costs
linked to specific time periods or stages of development.
Task 6.2: Forecast Municipal Revenue - Consultant will estimate municipal
revenues using algorithms that emulate each key revenue item. The revenue
forecast will be based upon the development scenarios prepared in Task 2.4,
reflecting the same time or development horizons as used for the cost forecast.
Task 6.3: Evaluate Fiscal Effects - Consultant will combine the results of Tasks
6.1 and 6.2 to estimate fiscal effects. The pattern of fiscal flows will be
documented and placed in proper context. The documentation and results of
Task 6 will be combined into a Technical Memorandum. If negative fiscal effects
are indicated, Consultant will advise on and identify various mitigation measures
to offset these effects and assure an ongoing positive fiscal contribution of the
Urban Core Area to the City.
Task 7-Draft Urban Core Specific Plan Public Facilities Financing Plan
The foregoing technical tasks will serve as a technical basis upon which the
Consultant will prepare the Urban Core Specific Plan Public Facilities Financing
Plan (UCPFFP). The Plan itself is envisioned as a graphically pleasing policy
document with a companion set of technical appendices derived from the
technical work described above. The UCPFFP will detail a boundary map, list of
public improvements, anticipated development, and all other elements required by
law and ordinance. Consultant will provide 25 copies of an initial draft, and meet
with City staff to discuss the initial draft and hear comments and concerns. EPS
will subsequently provide 25 copies of a second draft after incorporation of
comments.
9/26/0 I
J:\COMMDEV\AGREEMENTS\UCSPPFFContractEPS.redline_final.doc
Page 17
Task 8-Final Report
Consultant will formally present the UCPFFP to the Planning Commission and
City Council. Once comments and other changes arising from these presentations
and any subsequent review of the UCPFFP have been incorporated, EPS will
provide the City with 25 copies of the final document and appendices, along with
one electronic copy on CD and one photo-ready master copy.
Task 9-Meetings
Both James R. Musbach and Walter Kieser, the Managing Principals at EPS who
will oversee Consultant's work on this project, will be available to present the
UCPFFP to a public forum (and the Planning Commission and City Council). In
addition to these meetings and others specified in the Work Program above, EPS
has provided a budget for the bi-weekly meetings specified in the RFP.
Task 10--Engineering Services
The not to exceed amount of this Agreement (as specified in section II.C.(l),
below) includes $25,000 for engineering services provided by subconsultant
MMS. MMS will assist in the early stages in assessing the available infrastructure
data and where supplemental analysis will be necessary. During the process of
evaluating needs, MMS will assist in identifying and defining service thresholds
and existing capabilities. Finally, MMS will provide supplemental analysis during
feasibility testing to refine facilities standards and cost estimates as needed. MMS
will also assist with the development of the financing plan, including an impact
fee program.

4/5TH5 VOTE: YES 0 NO D
In 2003, the Housing Authority of the City of Chula Visto issued Multifamily Housing Revenue
Bonds in the approximate amount of $11.8 million to assist CIC Eastlake, L.P., a partnership
between Pacific Southwest Community Development Corporation and Chelsea Investment
Corporation, construct a 150 unit affordable housing development, known as Rancho Buena
Vista Apartments, located at 2155 Corte Vista in the Eastlake master planned community (see
attached).
CIC Eastlake is now requesting that the Housing Authority of the City of Chula Vista consider the
issuance of additional tax-exempt bonds in an amount not to exceed $1.715 million. The
additional bond allocation will be used to finance cost overruns experienced by the project.
As required under the procedures established by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, the City Council is required to hold a public hearing to consider whether the Housing
Authority should issue additionol tax exempt bonds for the financing of the project and to
opprove the issuance, sale, ond delivery of multi-family housing revenue bonds by the Housing

Authority at the time a bond allocation is received. The Housing Authority would then also be
required to adopt a resolution expressing its preliminary intention to issue bonds.
The requested actions are preliminory and do not commit the Authority to issue the bonds. Such
preliminary actions are necessary in order to allow the project developer to submit an application
to the State bonding authority and to allow the developer to receive reimbursement out of bond
proceeds for costs it incurs leading up to the actual sale of bonds. If successful in obtoining 0
bond commitment from Colifornia Debt Limit Allocation Committee, the developer pions to come
back to the Authority to request final approval for the issuance of the bonds.
The issuance or repayment of the Bonds does not constitute a legal liability or obligation of the
Housing Authority. The Authority is octing as a conduit for the bond financing. CIC Eastlake is
responsible for repayment of the bonds and all costs of issuonce. The project and the revenues it
generates will act as security for payment of the bonds.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Housing Authority and the City Council toke the following actions:
1. That the City Council conduct the required public heoring regarding the Authority's intent
to issue additional tax exempt obligations for the proposed Rancho Buena Vista
Apartments.
2. Thot the Housing Authority adopt the resolution regarding its intention to issue tox-exempt
obligations for the proposed Rancho Buena Vista Apartments within the Eastlake master
planned community.
3. That the City Council adopt a resolution approving the issuance, sale and delivery of
multifamily revenue bonds of the Housing Authority of the City of Chula Vista for the
Rancho Buena Vista Apartments development of the Eostlake master planned community.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On February 26, 2003, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to recommend approval of $1.5
million in financial assistonce from the City's HOME Program and Redevelopment Low ond
Moderate Income Housing Set-aside funds for the development of Rancho Buena Vista
Apartments.
The Design Review Committee (DRC) held 0 preliminary hearing on the project on March 3,
2003. On April 14, 2003, the DRC approved the plans for development of the project.
The City Council initially opproved the issuance of bonds by the Housing Authority for the project
on April 4, 2003. Subsequently on October 7, 2003, the Authority outhorized the issuance of
PAGE 3, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE:

04/19 /05
$11.7 million in Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds, concurrent with the City
Cauncil's/Redevelopment Agency's final approval of financiol assistance for the development of
the project.
DISCUSSION
THE PROPOSED PROJECT
On October 7, 2003, the Housing Authority authorized the original issuance of $11,687,000 in
Multi-family Housing Revenue Bonds and the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approved
$1.5 million in financiol assistonce for the development of the 150 unit Rancho Buena Vista
Apartments ot Eastlake for very low and low-income households. The development is located at
2155 Corte Vista, across the street from the Eastlake Terraces retail center.
The development is in its final phase of construction. Four buildings, totaling 120 units, have
been completed and fully leased. The last building is nearing completion. CIC has received over
900 applications for the 150 total units to be availoble, with 25 to 30 new inquiries received each
week.
INCOME AND RENT RESTRICTIONS
As a condition of the various financing sources of the project, the Developer has entered into loan
and regulatory agreements specifying the terms of the financial assistance and use of the project
as an affordable housing development for very low and low-income households for a period of
fifty-five (55) years.
The affordability of the units, as dictated by all financing sources is illustrated in the chart below:
Target Income Maximum FY 2004
Unit Description No. of Units Monthly
Group Income Rent
2 Bdrm/2 Ba 12 50% AMI $ 2,588 $ 729
48 60% AMI $ 3,104 $ 883
3 Bdrm/2 Ba 16 50% AMI $ 2,989 $ 838
64 60% AMI $ 3,587 $ 1,017
4 Bdrm/2 Sa 2 50% AMI $ 3,333 $ 928
8 60% AMI $ 4,000 $ 1,127
TOTAL / WTD AVG 150 $ 937
The project is assisting very low and low-income households ot rental rates priced 40 to 50
percent below market rental rates.
PROPOSED FINANCING OF PROJECT
Financin9 and development of this project is a joint private-public partnership. The developer
has already received Tax Exempt Multi-Family Revenue Bonds and Low Income Housing Tax
PAGE 4, .IEM NO.:
MEETING DATE:

04/19/05
Credit financing to support the majority of the costs of constructing the project. As part of the
project's approval of October 7, 2003, a loan, to provide gap financing, of $1.5 million from
HOME Investment Partnership Program funds and Redevelopment Low Moderate Income
Housing funds was also approved.
Since the original approval of the project, there hos been an increose in costs. CIC has
requested thot the Housing Authority authorize the issuance of on additional $1,715,000 in
bonds to cover cost overruns for the project.
The original development budget from 2003 was estimated ot $23,615,175. Currently, the
total project budget is estimated at $25,790,000, an increose of $2,174,825. Those main
factors that have contributed to the increase include the following:
. Costs of materials affecting all construction trades;
. Construction deloys due to the weather; ond,
. Change in the scope of the project bosed upon modifications to the project thot occurred
after the issuance of the bonds.
City staff hos reviewed and verified these factors and concurs with the Developer's justification for
the increase in costs and request for additional bond financing. With an increase in rents
realized for 2005, the project can be underwritten for the $1,715,000 in bonds utilizing the same
criteria for the previous bond issuance.
CIC is proposing the use of other resources to assist with the remaining funding gap. With the
issuance of odditional bonds, the praject will be oble to receive an additional $575,000 in tax
credit equity. ClC is also proposing the deferral of their $1,050,000 development fee.
DEVELOPMENT RISKS
In its role os lender to the project, the Authority/City is exposed to risks inherent to real estate
development. These risks generally include: 1) predevelopment (project daes not get ta
construction), 2) construction (project cannot be completed, cost overruns, contractor problems),
and 3) repoyment of obligations.
A number of factors mitigate these risks. First, the developer ond its joint venture partners have
significant experience and an excellent track record with other affordable housing projects within
the City of Chulo Vista and other areas. The project is nearing completion with 120 of the 150
units completed and occupied, with the remaining units occupied by the end of April 2005.
While the development costs for the project have increased by approximately $2.175 million, the
project is being completed. It is onticipated that the CIC will be able to secure additianol debt
ond use other resources to finonce these costs overruns. Additional debt can be secured, using
the same underwriting criteria, for the project primarily due to the increase in revenues from rents
collected. Should the Housing Authority choose not to authorize the bonds, the project would be
PAGE 5, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE:
3
04/19/05
able to secure conventionol financing. However, this would be at 0 greater cost to the project,
with 0 lorger loan ond higher interest rotes.
There is no direct legal liability to the Housing Authority or the City in connection with the
issuance or repayment of the bonds. The security for repayment of the bonds is the project itself
and the revenues it generates. CIC is responsible for the payment of the costs of issuance. While
repoyment of the bonds does not constitute a liability or obligation to the Housing Authority,
should the Developer or a subsequent owner be unable to perform under the conditions of the
Bond Indenture, the Housing Authority's financial rating and/or stature in the marketplace could
be negatively impacted.
The likelihood of repayment is high given that the project is actually completed, the demonstrated
high demond for these units, ond an anticipated low vocancy rate. All units have been leased
and CIC continues to receive new interests in the project. It is expected that the project will have
a waiting list of several hundred families upon its full lease up. With its reliable revenue base,
standard costs of operotion, and the presence of other major financial commitments, such as the
tax credit investments, it is anticipated that the project will do well in the short and long-term.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution only indicates an intention by the Authority to issue tax-exempt
obligations ond does not commit the Authority to issue bonds ot this time. All costs related to the
issuonce of the bonds will be paid from bond proceeds or profits. The bonds are to be secured
by the project and will not constitute a liability or obligotion to the Authority. Some staff costs are
associated with monitoring compliance with the Regulatory Agreement. Those costs will be
reimbursed from an origination fee for issuance of the bonds and an onnual administrative fee to
be paid to the Authority by CIC Eastlake. These fees will be negotioted before the Authority
approves the actual issuance of the bond.

WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to apply to CDLAC for an allocation for the Project;
NOW, THEREFORE, the BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS of the HOUSING AUTHORITY
OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, ORDER AND DETERMINE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. The Issuer has received an application for the financing of the Project on
behalf of the Applicant (the "Application"). The Applicant will incur costs with respect to the
Project prior to the issuance of the Obligations. The Issuer hereby states its intention and reasonably
expects to reimburse to the Applicant for such costs with proceeds of the Obligations; provided,
however, that nothing herein obligates the Issuer to issue the Obligations or provides the Applicant
with any legal right to compel the issuance of the Obligations, which decision remains in the final
discretion of the Issuer. Exhibit A describes the general character, type, purpose, and function of the
Project.
SECTION 2. The reasonably expected maximum principal amount of the Obligations is
$1,715,000. This Resolution is being adopted no later than sixty (60) days after the date (the
"Expenditure Date or Dates") that the Applicant will expend moneys for the portion of Project costs
to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds.
The expected date of issue of the Bonds is within eighteen (18) months of the later of the
Expenditure Date or Dates and the first date the Project is placed in service and, in no event, later
than three years after the Expenditure Date or Dates.
SECTION 3. Proceeds of the Bonds to be used to reimburse for Project costs are not
expected to be used directly or indirectly to pay debt service with respect to any obligation or to be
held as a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund with respect to an obligation of the Issuer
or any entity related in any manner to the Issuer, or to reimburse any expenditure that was originally
paid with the proceeds of any obligation, or to replace funds that are or will be used in such manner.
SECTION 4. This Resolution is consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances
of the Issuer, as of the date hereof. No monies from sources other than the Obligations are, or are
reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside by the
Issuer (or any related party) pursuant to their budget or financial policies with respect to the portion
of the Project costs to be financed with the Obligations. This Board of Commissioners is not aware
of any previous adoption of official intents by the Issuer that have been made as a matter of course
for the purpose of reimbursing expenditures relating to the Project and for which tax-exempt
obligations have not been issued.
SECTION 5. This Resolution is adopted as official action of the Issuer in order to comply
with Treasury Regulation S 1.103-8(a)(5) and Treasury Regulation S 1.150-2 and any other
regulations of the Internal Revenue Service relating to the qualification for reimbursement of
expenditures incurred prior to the date of issue of the Obligations, is part of the Issuer's official
proceedings, and will be available for inspection by the general public at the main administrative
office of the Issuer.
SECTION 6. The officers and employees of the Authority are hereby authorized and
directed to apply to CDLAC for a portion of the private activity bond allocation set aside for the
calendar year 2005 for the Project in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,715,000, to collect from

the Applicant and hold pursuant to CDLAC requirements the required CDLAC deposit for the
requested allocation, and to certify to CDLAC that such amount has been placed on deposit in an
account in a financial institution. Because the amount of private activity bond allocation is limited,
such officers are also authorized to resubmit the application to CDLAC one or more times during the
calendar year 2005 in the event the application is denied by CDLAC.
SECTION 7. The officers and employees of the Issuer are hereby authorized and directed,
jointly and severally, to take any actions and execute and deliver any and all documents which any of
them deem necessary or advisable, with the advice of City Attorney, in order to effectuate the
purposes of this Resolution, and such actions previously taken by such officers and employees are
hereby ratified and confirmed; provided that the terms and conditions under which the Bonds are to
be issued and sold must be approved by this Board in the manner provided by law prior to the sale of
the Bonds.
SECTION 8. All the recitals in this Resolution are true and correct.
SECTION 9. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

CITY OF CHULA VISTA
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING ISSUANCE OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, at its regular meeting to be held at 6:00 p.m. on
Tuesday, April 19, 2005, at the City Council Chambers of the City ofChula Vista located at 276
Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California 91910, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista will
conduct a public hearing as required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, at which it will hear and consider information concerning the issuance by The Housing
Authority of the City of Chula Vista (the "Authority") of bonds (the "Bonds") to provide
additional subordinate financing to a multifamily rental housing project of approximately 150
units known as "Rancho Buena Vista Apartments" located at 2155 Corte Vista, in the City of
Chula Vista, California (the "Project"). The Project is owned and operated by CIC Eastlake,
L.P., a California Limited Partnership. The Authority proposes to issue the Bonds in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,715,000.
In October, 2003, the Authority issued $11,686,000 of bonds in two series to finance the
Project. The original scope of the Project has not changed, but there have been unanticipated
increases in the costs of constructing the Project which necessitate additional financing to
complete the Project. The Authority proposes to issue the Bonds to provide this additional
financing.
By law, at least 20 percent of the rental units in the Project are required to be available
for occupancy by persons or families whose income does not exceed 50 percent of the median
income for the San Diego, California Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, or, alternatively, at
least 40 percent of the rental units are required to be available for occupancy by persons or
families whose income does not exceed 60 percent of the median income for the Area, in each
case at affordable rents established by applicable State law. It is expected that the Authority will
