Beatley, Director of Finance/City Treasurer SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO ADMINISTRATION AND OVERSIGHT AGREEMENT TO APPOINT A SUCCESSOR OVERSIGHT AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH BOND AND AGENCY REGULATORY AGREEMENTS FOR SEAL BEACH SHORES MOBILE HOME PARK SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6694 authorizing the City's execution and delivery of an Amendment No. 1 to Administration and Oversight Agreement relating to Seal Beach Shores Mobile Home Park and taking related actions. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The former City of Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency (the "Former Agency") issued bonds (the "Bonds") in 2000 and provided other financial assistance to LINC Community Development Corporation (the "LINC") for a mobile home park project, now known as Seal Beach Shores (the "Park"). In that connection, the Former Agency and LINC entered into regulatory agreements, requiring the Park to comply with certain affordable housing covenants and reporting requirements. Seal Beach Shores, Inc. is the successor to LINC with respect to the Park. The related documents included an Administration and Oversight Agreement, dated December 1, 2000 (the "Oversight Agent Agreement"), designating the appointment of an Oversight Agent and Program Administrator (the "Oversight Agent") to assist in the monitoring of the Park's compliance. The maintenance of an Oversight Agent is required under the Bonds indenture (i.e., the contract that contains the Agency's covenants to the bondholders). The Bonds are still outstanding, and indenture remains to be an enforceable obligation of the Successor Agency. Rosenow Spevacek Group Inc. ("RSG") has acted as the Oversight Agent since 2000. With RSG's recent notice of resignation, staff has identified CivicStone, Inc., as a suitable replacement. Agenda Item 0 By separate action, the Successor Agency Board will consider the adoption of a resolution to authorize the Successor Agency's execution and delivery of an amendment to the Oversight Agent Agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Resolution (the "Amendment"), to appoint CivicStone, Inc. as the successor Oversight Agent. By law, the Successor Agency and the City are legally separate entities. Seal Beach Shores has requested that the City be added as a signing party to the Amendment. In light of the fact that the Amendment does not contain any provision to increase the City's responsibility thereunder, staff recommends that City accommodate this request. By adopting the attached Resolution, the City Council will authorize the City's execution and delivery of the Amendment. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact associated with adoption of the attached Resolution. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is expected by virtue of the City's execution of the Amendment. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6694 authorizing the execution and delivery of Amendment No. 1 to Administration and Oversight Agreement relating to Seal Beach Shores Mobile Home Park, and taking related actions.
