Ingram, Executive Director FROM:Victoria L. Beatley, Finance Officer SUBJECT:Amendment No. 2 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 Successor Agency Board adopt Resolution 18-03 authorizing the City’s execution and delivery of an Amendment No. 2 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 bond proceeds and other financial assistance to LINC Community Development Corporation (“LINC”) for a mobile home park project, now known as Seal Beach Shores (the “Park”). The Bonds were issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of December 1, 2000 (the “Indenture”). In connection with the financing, the Former Agency executed a number of related documents, including certain regulatory agreements, requiring the Park to comply with affordable housing covenants and reporting requirements. The related documents also include an Administration and Oversight Agreement, dated December 1, 2000 (the “Oversight Agent Agreement”), providing for the appointment of an Oversight Agent and Program Administrator (the “Oversight Agent”) to assist with monitoring the Park’s compliance with the regulatory agreements. The engagement of an Oversight Agent is required under the Indenture. A portion of the Bonds is still outstanding. The Bonds, the Indenture, the regulatory agreements and the Oversight Agent Agreement are enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency. Seal Beach Shores, Inc. (“SBS”) is the current successor to LINC with respect to the ownership of the Park. By separate action, the Successor Agency Board will Page 2 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 Attachment A to the Resolution (the “2018 Amendment”), to appoint Wolf & Company Inc. (“Wolf”) as the successor Oversight Agent. The Successor Agency and the City are legally separate entities. In 2017, SBS requested the City to be included as a signatory to a prior amendment to the Oversight Agent Agreement, and the City accommodated. A similar request has been made of the City with respect to the 2018 Amendment. In light of the fact that neither the prior amendment nor the pending 2018 Amendment contains any provision that would increase the City’s responsibility under the Oversight Agent Agreement, 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 2018 Amendment. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact associated with adoption of the attached Resolution. LEGAL ANALYSIS: General Counsel 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 Successor Agency Board adopt Resolution 18-03 authorizing the execution and delivery of Amendment No. 2 to Administration and Oversight Agreement relating to Seal Beach Shores Mobile Home Park, and taking related actions.

The former City of Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”) was a redevelopment agency duly formed pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law, set forth in Part 1 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”). B. Pursuant to AB X1 26 (enacted in June 2011) a nd the California Supreme Court’s decision in California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (2011), the Former Agency was dissolved as of February 1, 2012, and the Successor Agency was constituted as the successor entity to the Former Agency. C. Before dissolution, the Former Agency issued its Mobile Home Park Revenue Bonds (Seal Beach Mobile Home Park Project) Series 2000A (the “Bonds”) and executed and delivered the related Indenture of Trust, dated as of December 1, 2000 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Former Agency and Union Bank of California, N.A., as trustee. D. In connection with such financing, the Former Agency executed various related documents, including an Administration and Oversight Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2000 (the “Oversight Agent Agreement”), by and among the Former Agency, LINC Community Development Corporation (“LINC”) and Rosenow Spevacek Group Inc. (“RSG”), as Oversight Agent and Program Administrator (the “Oversight Agent”) thereunder. E. Seal Beach Shores, Inc. (“SBS”), is the successor-in-interest to LINC, as the Borrower under the Indenture, the Oversight Agent Agreement and other related documents. F. A portion of the Bonds remains outstanding; and the Bonds, the Indenture and the Oversight Agent Agreement, as amended, continue to be enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency. G. The Oversight Agent Agreement has been amended by an Amendment No. 1, dated as of May 1, 2017, by and among the Successor Agency, the City of Seal Beach, SBS, and CivicStone, Inc. ("CivicStone"), which amendment provided for the Resolution Number SA18-03 appointment of CivicStone as the successor Oversight Agent upon the resignation of RSG, the initial Oversight Agent. H. Pursuant to the Indenture, the appointment of any successor Oversight Agent is subject to the written consent of ACA Financial Guaranty Corporation ("ACA"), the provider of a bond insurance policy with respect to the scheduled principal and interest payments of the Bonds. I. ACA’s consent with respect to CivicStone's appointment was limited to a one-year duration. J. There has been presented an Amendment No. 2 to the Oversig ht Agent Agreement ("Amendment No. 2 to Oversight Agent Agreement"), which provides for the appointment of Wolf & Co. ("Wolf"), as the new successor Oversight Agent. K. In light of ACA’s familiarity with Wolf on other projects and at the Successor Agency’s request, ACA has given its consent to Wolf’s appointment without any limit to the duration. L. The appointment of a new successor Oversight Agent is required under the Indenture and, as such, the Successor Agency's execution and delivery of Amendment No. 2 to Oversight Agent Agreement will reduce liability of the Successor Agency.
