TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ENCINO
APARTMENTS L.L.C, AND THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL
CORPORATION, FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND
AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME
issUE
A Resolution approving an Affordable Housing Agreement between Encino
Apartments L.L.C., and the City of Pueblo, A Municipal Corporation, wherein
HOME Federal Funds will be provided to the Project, in the form of a $369,000
loan and a $1,000 grant. To assist in the acquisition of the Encino Apartments in
order to preserve existing affordable low- income rental housing. This is an
acquisition with rehabilitation project.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Resolution, thus approving a contract with Encino Apartments L.L.C.
The proposed project meets the HOME eligibility program requirements in that
the funds will be used for the preservation of existing affordable rental housing
for low and moderate - income families.
BACKGROUND
The current owner wishes to sell the property. The Encino Apartments are
currently in the Section 8 HAP Program. If the property were sold to a buyer not
interested in continuing the HAP, then the City would lose 42 units of affordable
housing. Charles Singer representing Encino Apartments L.L.C., applied for
HOME funds in response to a request for proposal (RFP) that the City published
in October 2001. The developer has applied for $370,000 in HOME funds for
acquisition and rehabilitation of the Encino Apartments located in the Eastside of
Pueblo. The rehabilitation proposed is for new mechanical systems (HVAC) and
interior and exterior rehabilitation for the housing units.
This Agreement proposes a $369,000 loan at 1% (P &I repayable) and a $1,000
grant. The new tax credit guidelines require that the local government show
support for the project in the form of a grant or fee waiver. The developer has
applied to the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) for State Preservation
Tax Credits and a SMART loan and is providing equity as a loan to the project.
There will be no payback of the equity until the developer's fee is paid out. The
developer's fee will be paid out over a fifteen -year period. The payback to
developer for the equity infusion will be paid from available cash flow.
The developer is the current owner of the Mesa Gardens Apartments, formerly
known as Red Rocks Apartments (under previous ownership). City Staff toured
Mesa Gardens and found the Project to be well maintained. Staff also toured the
proposed Project and thinks that rehabilitation is needed to keep the Project from
further deterioration. The Housing Authority supports the Project, and expressed
concerns to City Staff on the continued certification of the complex under the
HUD Housing Quality Standards requirement, unless upgrades are made as
proposed by this project
CHFA Tax Credit's require that the Project be maintained affordable to low -to-
moderate income households for a period of 40 years. The City's requirement is
for 20 years. The amount of rent the Project can charge is regulated by CHFA
and by the HOME funds. Yearly inspections will be conducted by the City and
the Housing Authority as part of the monitoring under HOME and Section 8 HAP
regulations. Monitoring activities review tenant income, rents charged, project
management, and an inspection of the units.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated project costs are $2.7 Million. The sources of funds for the Project
are as follows:
1 -CHFA Smart loan at 6.9% $511,000
2 -Tax Credit Investor Equity $1,429,761
3 -City of Pueblo loan at 1 % $369,000
4- Developer Fee loan at 0% $228,819
5 -City of Pueblo grant $1,000
6 -US Bank Equity Investor grant $7,500
7- Developer equity as a loan at 6.9% $122,566
The City loan requires monthly principal and interest payments of $1,187. Total
interest to be received over the life of the loan is $58,440. Principal and interest
payments resulting from the loan are recorded as program income under 24 CFR
Part 92, and are reprogrammed for other HOME eligible projects. The funds are
available for the Project from 2001 and 2002 HOME Federal funds.

pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute an indebtedness of Developer or Investment LP to
the City (or subsequent holder of the Note) which shall be evidenced by a promissory note
(hereinafter referred to as the "Promissory Note" or "Note ") which shall be due and payable with

payable by the holder pursuant to the provisions of the above paragraphs, from and after the date
of such declaration or acceleration the indebtedness shall accrue interest at the rate of twelve

(a) Unless otherwise authorized by City in writing in a separate instrument executed

thereof for a purpose authorized by this Agreement shall be deemed program income within the

received by Developer constitutes program income within the meaning of 24 CFR §92.2 which

Fund Treasury Account, HOME Investment Trust Fund local account or to HUD, then in that
event Developer shall repay the amount so determined to City.
(b) Upon expiration of the term of this Agreement, or upon any prior termination,
Developer and its Investment LP shall transfer to City any funds provided hereunder which have

hereunder.
(c) The Project, the Property, and any other real property acquired, constructed or
improved in whole or in part with funds provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be used as
affordable rental housing within the meaning of 24 CFR § 92.252 for the full period of
affordability as defined in paragraph 4 hereof. In the event the Project, the Property or such
other property ceases to be so used, Developer shall immediately pay to City the full amount of
the grant, plus the greater of (i) an amount equal to the current market value of the Project and
property less any portion of the value attributable to expenditures of funds not provided under
this Agreement for the construction of the Project or acquisition of, or improvements to, the
Property or, (ii) the remaining principal balance and accrued interest owing under the Note. The
use restriction and repayment obligation set forth in this subparagraph shall survive termination
or expiration of this Agreement and shall be fully enforceable and subject to collection by City
or HUD in accordance with applicable laws. Developer shall execute a Deed of Trust which
shall be and constitute a lien upon the Property and all other real property acquired or improved
with funds provided hereunder, and which shall secure all obligations of Developer hereunder.
(d) In the event City incurs any cost or expense in enforcing the requirements of this

or obtain sale under the Deed of Trust or other mortgage or security instrument, City shall be
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees.
(e) To further ensure that the funds provided hereunder to Developer do not
constitute an investment of more HOME funds than are necessary to provide affordable housing
(as required by 24 CFR §92.250(b)), Developer commits to either retain ownership of the project
or have its Investment LP retain ownership for a period of not less than 20 years from and after
the completion of the project. Consequently, in the event Developer or the Investment LP
should sell or transfer title to the Project, the Property or other real property or improvements
constructed or improved with funds provided pursuant to this Agreement, within 20 years after
substantial completion of the Project or said improvements, the entire indebtedness shall
immediately become due and payable and shall be repaid to City, together with interest thereon
at the rate of 12% per annum from the time of substantial completion until said repayment is
made; the aforestated deed of trust or mortgage instrument shall also secure this repayment
obligation.
(f) It is the intent of the parties that §38 -30 -165, C.R.S. and any similar statute
hereafter enacted, be preempted under federal law and regulations in order to maintain
affordability of the rental units within the Property. Consequently, this Agreement shall not be
assumable, and the indebtedness shall be due and payable upon sale, transfer or assignment, or
any attempted sale or transfer of the Property by Developer or the Investment LP, unless all of
the following circumstances are demonstrated to exist: (i) more than 20 years have elapsed since
the substantial completion of the project, or the City approves transfer of the Project, which
transfer may be approved or disapproved in the sole discretion of the City, (ii) the Primary
Lender also consents to assumption of the mortgage or obligation to which the Deed of Trust
securing this Agreement is subordinate, (iii) the sale of the Property is to a subsequent purchaser
who agrees in writing to comply with the affordability requirements of this Agreement and
applicable requirements, including those set forth at 24 CFR, §92.252, (iv) the sale price and
