RECOMMENDED ACTION:

shall serve as the contact person for Department of Finance inquiries regarding Board actions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
California Health and Safety Code Section 34179 requires that all meetings of the Oversight

Submitted By: Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
Prepared By: Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
Agenda Title: Approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS)of the
Successor Agency City of Rohnert Park for the Period of January 1 —
June 30,2012
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consider and adopt Resolution No. 2012-002: Approving the Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedules of the Successor Agency City of Rohnert Park for the Period January 1—June 30,2012.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Rohnert Park has elected to serve as the Successor Agency to the former Rohnert Park
Community Development Commission, dissolved on February 1, 2012 per the Redevelopment
Dissolution Act, AB Ix26, signed by the Governor in June 2011 and upheld by the California
Supreme Court on December 29, 2011. The Dissolution Act charges the Board with '`fiduciary
responsibilities to holders of enforceable obligations and the taxing entities that benefit from
distributions of property tax."
The Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) is a key document delineating"enforceable
obligations." The Successor Agency is responsible for drafting a ROPS which sets forth the nature,
amount, and source(s) of payment of all "enforceable obligations" (as defined by law)of the former
redevelopment agency to be paid by the Successor Agency, covering the forward-looking six month
fiscal period, except for the initial draft of the ROPS, which is to cover the period from January 1,
2012, through June 30, 2012.
The ROPS for the period January 1 through June 30,2012 was to be required certified by the
Sonoma County Auditor-Controller as to its accuracy based on an audit, reviewed and approved by
the Oversight Board, and then submitted to the State Department of Finance,the State Controller and
the Sonoma County Auditor-Controller for review by April 15, 2012. Staff has already submitted
this ROPS to the Sonoma County Auditor-Controller for audit and certification; however, it is
becoming apparent that the ROPS will not be certified in time for the April 15, 2012 deadline.
The Department of Finance has advised that where county auditor-controllers are unable to certify
draft ROPS in sufficient time for oversight boards to review and approve them for submittal to DOF,
the State Controller and the county auditor-controllers within the applicable deadlines, successor
agencies should,within the applicable timelines, submit the uncertified ROPS to their oversight
boards for review and approval and submittal to DOF, State Controller and county auditor-
controllers.
1
ITEM NO. 3F
The attached ROPS is presented for the Oversight Board's consideration. At the Oversight Board
meeting, staff will provide a description of the obligations listed on the ROPS, and considerations for
the Oversight Board within its role and responsibilities given by the Dissolution Act.
The Legislative Analyst's Office describes the Oversight Board as having"significant authority and
responsibility to compare the merits of continuing a specific redevelopment project against
alternative uses for its resources by other local agencies. Oversight Board members might decide that
a redevelopment project meets local community priorities and continue it, or that the project's funds
could be put to better use by the other local agencies in the area and terminate the contract." This is
the lens through which Oversight Board members are charged with evaluating whether the listing of
an obligation on the ROPS protects holders of enforceable obligations and also is in the best interests
of the taxing entities.

1 through June 30, 2012, that has been certified by the Sonoma County Auditor-Controller as to
their accuracy based on an audit and that have been reviewed and approved by the Oversight
Board for the Successor Agency City of Rohnert Park("Oversight Board");
WHEREAS, it is not clear that the Sonoma County Auditor-Controller will be able to
complete its review of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules in sufficient time for the
Oversight Board to review and approve and the Successor Agency to submit them to DOF, the
State Controller and the County Auditor prior to the April 15, 2012 deadline;
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate DOF's ability to make timely payments to successor
agencies and taxing agency by June 1, 2012, as required by Health and Safety Code Section
34183(a), DOF has advised that where county auditor-controllers are unable to certify draft
recognized obligation payment schedules in sufficient time for oversight boards to review and
approve them for submittal to DOF, the State Controller and the county auditor-controllers
within the applicable deadlines, successor agencies should, within the applicable timelines,
submit the uncertified ROPS to their oversight boards for review and approval and submittal to
DOF, State Controller and county auditor-controllers.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE OVERSIGHT BOARD FOR THE SUCCESSOR
AGENCY CITY OF ROHNERT PARK DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

acceptance of each ROPS, including, if necessary, making modifications to a ROPS determined
by the Successor Agency's City Manager to be reasonable and financially feasible to meet its
legally required financial obligations.
3. Upon the Successor Agency's receipt of a certified ROPS from the County Auditor,
and provided the certified ROPS did not require substantial changes from the ROPS approved by
OAK#4838-5492-2255 v3
3/30/12
this resolution, the Board deems the certified ROPS approved by the Oversight Board and the
Successor Agency is hereby authorized and directed to submit the certified ROPS to DOF, the
State Controller and the County Auditor for review. If the certified ROPS is substantially
different from the ROPS approved by this resolution, the Successor Agency is hereby directed to
submit the certified ROPS to the Oversight Board for review and approval prior to its submittal
to DOF, the State Controller and the County Auditor for review.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
Five Year Implementation Plan: FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14
ABOUT THE PROJECT AREA
Who, What, When Where, and Why
Rohnert Park was founded in 1954 as a master-planned community on the former site of the Rohnert Seed Farm.
located along the Northwestern Pacific railroad right-of-way- The original master plan envisioned 8
neighborhoods, a school and a 5-acre park. Development began shortly thereafter, and in 1962, Rohnert Park
became a city with 2.775 residents and 903 homes. For a short time. Sonoma State University was located in the
city limits before moving just outside the City to their current location. The presence of the University and other
Bay Area development trends resulted in a boom in population and growth through the 1980's.
As the community's supply of developable land began to dwindle, the City turned its attention to the revitalization
of older parts of the community. In response to the desire to ensure the sustainability of existing neighborhoods
and commercial areas and curb urban sprawl, the City Council adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Rohnert
Park Redevelopment Project Area ("Redevelopment Plan") by Ordinance No. 479 on July 14, 1987. The
Redevelopment Plan has been amended three times. The first amendment occurred in 1999 and was adopted to
comply with changes in the Redevelopment Law. The second amendment in May 2006 eliminated the time limit
on incurring indebtedness and extended the redevelopment plan duration and the time limit to collect tax
increment revenue by one year. The third amendment, adopted in November 2006, increased the limit on the
amount of bonded indebtedness that can be outstanding at any one time.
Long-term revitalization activities are guided by the 40-year Redevelopment Plan for the Rohnert Park
Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"). Redevelopment projects in the Project Area have included
improvements to public facilities and infrastructure, renovation and construction of affordable housing, and
partnerships with private industry to create jobs and expand the local economy. This Implementation Plan
focuses on specific redevelopment goals and programs sought for the next five years.

Five Year Implementation Plan: FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14
RECENT REDEVELOPMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Public Value & Benefit of Redevelopment
Over the last five years, the CDC has championed many successful projects and programs in the Project Area,
including the following:
Baseball Stadium Reuse. The CDC and the City joined efforts with Kemen & Son, Inc. to demolish stadium
structures at the former Crushers baseball stadium in order to facilitate development of a replacement commercial
use. The City of Rohnert Park entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement with Redwood Equities, LLC, on
April 8. 2003, allowing Redwood Equities the option to purchase the former baseball stadium owned by the City.
On January 24, 2006, the CDC authorized the use of redevelopment funds to pay for wetland mitigation costs
associated with the proposed reuse and redevelopment of the property.
Courseco Lease Agreement. The CDC contributes toward a financial
obligation with Courseco Inc. pursuant to a lease agreement for the , ' vj
management of two municipal golf courses. As part of the lease -
agreement, an annual contribution of 1% of golf revenue is required to be
made to a Capital Improvement Fund for future golf course improvements. �-{
•
The required contribution commenced January 2005, increases to 2% of r yJ L
golf revenue in January 2014, and extends through the end of the lease r
�•
term in 2023.
•
Public Infrastructure Projects. The CDC completed Phase 1 of the .
Eastside Trunk Sewer Project. Phase I will promote in-fill development and "` , ._, 4-
the redevelopment of underutilized and abandoned or vacant parcels within
the Project Area, including the Sonoma Mountain Village site (formerly the
Agilent site), the Southwest Boulevard area, and the Commerce Boulevard
area.
Corridor Master Plans. CDC staff initiated preparation of concept plans to
improve and modernize major commercial corridors in the Project Area,
including Commerce Boulevard, Southwest Boulevard and State Farm Drive. The proposed Rohnert Park
Corridor Concept Plans and Implementation Strategy were presented to the Planning Commission in early 2009,
and upon their adoption will help the City identify priorities and specific improvements on both public right-of-way
and private property based on a community-based planning process, and applicable transportation and land use
principles.
Economic Development Program. The CDC entered into an agreement with MuniServices, LLC for an
Economic Development Study that was completed in July 2007. In September 2008. the CDC approved an
Agreement for Services with the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of promoting economic development and
implementing the City's Economic Development Strategic Action Plan.
Downtown Infill Projects. Activities related to the implementation of two infill projects in the Downtown area
including completing the design phase of the Public Safety Re-Alignment (renamed Fire Station No. 1 Expansion).
The CDC also acquired the City Center parking lot across
from the Public Library. This property is to be combined
with two other CDC owned parcels for a mixed-use project. .-. .
City Center Plaza Development. The City Center Plaza _ •. � 4ess'sL �
Development Project includes public open space and a L �, _ ... `+ # - 141

City Hall Site Reuse/Mixed-Use Avram Development. Three contiguous parcels were acquired by the CDC in
2007 for future affordable housing. The CDC intends to seek developer proposals for this site during the next
Implementation Plan period.
Commercial Building Improvement Program. The CDC provided a loan to Rainbow-Copeland Creek LLC from
the 2007H Series Tax Allocation Bonds for energy efficient rehabilitation in lieu of affordability covenants for 55
years on all 171 units in this development. The City's senior age restriction agreement was also extended to
2062. The improvements funded by this loan promote
environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.
Rohnert Park Community Center. In fiscal year 2006-
07, the CDC provided funds for the Community Center • w•,r+
Beam Replacement and Americans with Disabilities Act • : ,� :L rlf�� ='a ;; "
ADA") Improvements. Community Development Block
Grant funding was used to leverage the CDC's funding [a ri 3
for the ADA improvements. ,ar(
Burton Avenue Recreation Center Roof
Replacement. A roof replacement project at the Burton
Avenue Recreation Center was completed in April 2006 with CDC funding.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment. On May 9, 2006, the CDC amended the Redevelopment Plan to eliminate
the existing time limit on incurring debt and amend certain time limitations with respect to the Redevelopment
Plan. On November 28, 2006. the CDC amended its Redevelopment Plan to increase the amount of bonded debt
capacity it can have outstanding at any one time.
The Arbors, The CDC provided $4.015 million per an Affordable Housing Loan Agreement with Burbank
Housing Development Corporation for the development of The Arbors, a 56-unit multi-family rental project on City
Plaza Drive. This project was completed in 2007 and is affordable to low and very-low-income families.
Valley Village Mobile Home Park Covenant Purchase. The CDC purchased affordability covenants for 114
mobile home park units in November 2005. The covenants will restrict age (i.e., for qualifying senior citizens)and
occupancy on these units for 55 years for very low and low-income households. As this project is just outside the
Project Area, 57 of units are eligible to be counted toward the CDC's housing production goals.

PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Five Year Work Program for Reinvestment & Revitalization
Over the next five years, the CDC plans to implement the following redevelopment projects and programs using
available funding sources. The list below describes the projects proposed, what blighting conditions will be
addressed or eliminated. approximate costs and the Redevelopment Plan goals that will be achieved.
On April 30, 2007, the CDC issued the Rohnert Park Redevelopment Project Tax Allocation Bonds, Series 2007R
which provided $35,290,616 for redevelopment projects. Available bond proceeds, as well as tax increment
revenues, will be utilized to implement the projects and programs identified in the CDC's Five-Year
Implementation Plan. Preliminary cost estimates are for the five year Implementation Plan period.
The CDC's ability to fund projects will be impacted by the State's taking of redevelopment funds to help balance
the State's budget in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Pursuant to California Assembly Bill 26, all
redevelopment agencies are required to deposit a pre-determined payment in a county "Supplemental"
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund ("SERAF"), to be distributed to schools to meet the State's Proposition
98 obligations to education. Preliminary estimates of the amount required to be paid by the CDC in fiscal years
2009-10 and 2010-11 are $4.1 million and $845,119, respectively. As a result, some of the projects listed below
may be delayed until such time as the CDC has available revenues to fund these projects and programs.
However, all projects and programs that the CDC would like to implement during the five-year period have been
included for the purposes of this Implementation Plan in the event that funding does become available.

HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
Ten Year Outlook of Affordable Housing
This Section of the Plan contains the Ten-Year Affordable Housing Compliance Plan ("Compliance Plan") for the
Rohnert Park Redevelopment Project Area in accordance with Section 33490(a)(2) of the Redevelopment Law.
The Compliance Plan incorporates a summary of the CDC's affordable housing production and expenditure
activities to address the requirements of Sections 33334.2, 33334.4, 33334.6, and 33413 of the Redevelopment
Law, while presenting an affordable housing production plan for the next five years, the ten-year planning period
(2004-05 through 2013-14), and over the life of the Redevelopment Plan.
This Compliance Plan sets forth, among other things, the CDC's program for ensuring that the appropriate
number of very low-, low-, and moderate-income housing units will be produced as a result of new construction or
substantial rehabilitation in the Project Area, as well as the CDC's proposed expenditures of moneys from the
Low-and-Moderate-Income Housing Fund ("LMIHF").
Contents of the Compliance Plan
This Compliance Plan has been developed to accomplish the following goals:
• To account for the number of affordable dwelling units, either constructed or substantially rehabilitated in
the Project Area, since its adoption:
• To forecast the estimated number of new, substantially rehabilitated or price-restricted dwelling units to
be developed or purchased within the Project Area during the planning periods 2009-10 through 2013-14,
2014-15 through 2018-19, and over the life of the Redevelopment Plan:
• To forecast the estimated number of very low-, low-and moderate-income dwelling units to be developed,
substantially rehabilitated, or purchased by the CDC during the planning periods 2009-10 through 2013-
14, 2014-15 through 2018-19, and over the life of the Redevelopment Plan;
• To project the CDC's estimated revenues and expenditures during the planning period and identify the
availability of LMIHF moneys for funding affordable housing activities;
• To identify implementation policies/programs and potential projects for affordable housing development;
• To establish a timeline for implementing this Compliance Plan to ensure that the requirements of Section
33413 are met during the ten-year period between fiscal years 2009-10 and 2018-19; and
• To review the consistency of CDC affordable housing goals, objectives, and programs pursuant to the
City's Housing Element.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
Five Year Implementation Plan: FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14
Housing Production
This Compliance Plan identifies all new residential construction or substantial rehabilitation that has occurred
within the Project Area since adoption of the Plan in order to determine affordable housing production needs. It
accounts for past residential construction and substantial rehabilitation, and includes projections of new dwelling
units that may be constructed or substantially rehabilitated during the current ten-year planning period which
extends through June 30, 2014.
The Affordable Housing Production table on the following page (Table 1) summarizes the total housing units, both
market rate and affordable, produced within the Project Area to date, identifies the actual and projected
production requirements, and summarizes the CDC's past production activities (both inside and outside the
Project Area). This information is based on historical housing development and projected housing development
for the planning periods 2009-10 through 2013-14, 2014-15 through 2018-19, and over the life of the
Redevelopment Plan. Historical construction and substantial rehabilitation statistics were provided by the CDC. It
should be noted that neither the existing housing units nor projections for future dwelling units include any units to
be developed by the CDC. However, the CDC will continue to cooperate with and provide assistance and
incentives to private developers in order to fulfill the CDC's affordable housing production requirements.
Planning Period Production Needs
The CDC does not directly develop or substantially rehabilitate housing units. However, per Section 33413(b) of
the Redevelopment Law, not less than 15 percent of the units produced by persons or entities other than the CDC
must be affordable to low-and-moderate-income households. Not less than 40 percent of the required affordable
units must be available to very-low-income households at an affordable housing cost. In addition, to satisfy the
CDC's production requirements, new or substantially rehabilitated units must have recorded 55-year income
restrictions or covenants for rental units and 45-year income restrictions or covenants for owner occupied units.
The affordable housing units may be constructed inside or outside the Project Area, but units outside the Project
Area may only be counted on a 2-for-1 basis. If low-and-moderate-income housing funds are available, the CDC
may also purchase affordability covenants on very-low or low-income multifamily units.
The Housing Production Needs table (Table 1) on the following page summarizes the housing production
activities within the Project Area, including the first five years of the Ten Year Planning Period, and identifies the
projected production requirements for FY 2009-10 through 2013-14 of the planning period and over the life of the
Redevelopment Plan. As stated above, historical construction and substantial rehabilitation statistics were
provided by the CDC. The number of affordable units required is based on statutory thresholds, and the CDC is
responsible for ensuring that the appropriate number of affordable units is created during a ten year period.
It should be noted that neither the existing housing units nor projections for future dwelling units include any units
to be developed by the CDC. However, the CDC will continue to cooperate with and provide assistance and
incentives to private developers, in order to fulfill the CDC's affordable housing production requirements

According to actual and projected development information supplied by City staff, there were 1,535 housing units
built in the Project Area between 1987 and 2004; creating the inclusionary housing need for 230 affordable
housing units of which 92 units are required to be restricted to very-low income households.
In the current Ten Year Planning Period, it is anticipated that the CDC will need to meet inclusionary requirements
for 194 affordable units, including 78 units restricted to very low households. During the fiscal year 2004-05
through 2008-09 planning period, several residential developments occurred within the Project Area with a
combined total of 651 housing units, resulting in inclusionary housing requirements of 98 affordable housing units,
including 39 very-low income units. The CDC also projects that the proposed development of the Southwest
Station Site, Southwest Boulevard Shopping Center and former City Hall site (Avram property), as well as other
market-rate residential development within the Project Area, will produce 642 housing units and create an
inclusionary housing need for 96 units, including 39 very-low income units .
After the completion of the 2009-10 through 2013-14 planning period for this Compliance Plan, it is expected that
there will be 550 additional housing units produced within the Project Area between fiscal years 2014-15 through
2018-19, creating a need for 83 affordable housing units: 33 of these units must be made affordable to very-low
income households. Further, City staff estimates that an additional 200 housing units will be developed between
fiscal years 2019-20 and 2026-27, triggering a requirement for 30 affordable housing units, 12 of which must be
made affordable to very-low income households. In summary, over the duration of the Redevelopment Plan, it is
estimated that 537 affordable units may be needed, including 215 very-low income units.

Affordable Units Produced or Reserved
Per Section 33413(b)(4) of the Redevelopment Law, the affordable housing production requirements must be met
every ten years, which would reflect the compliance planning period ending June 30, 2014. If the CDC
requirements are not met by the end of each 10-year period, the agency shall meet these goals on an annual
basis until the requirements for the 10-year period are met. If the agency has exceeded the requirements within
the 10-year planning period, the agency may count the units that exceed the requirement in order to meet the
requirements during the next 10-year period.
The Housing Production Fulfillment table on the following page (Table 2) summarizes the CDC's past production
activities, including the first five years of the Ten Year Planning Period, and identifies the anticipated plans to
meet identified production requirements for the 2009-10 through 2013-14 planning period and over the life of the

The CDC has proactively worked with private entities to facilitate the production of the required number of
inclusionary units over the current Ten Year Planning Period. Based on the CDC's actual and planned
developments, the number of affordable housing units produced will be in excess of the units required at the end
of the same period. As shown in Table 1, housing development within the Project Area during the fiscal year
2004-05 through 2008-09 planning period triggered a requirement for 98 affordable housing units, including 39
very-low income units. Additionally, as stated previously, the CDC projects that the proposed development of the
Southwest Station Site, Southwest Boulevard Shopping Center and former City Hall site (Avram property), as well
as other market-rate residential development within the Project Area, will produce 642 housing units and create
an inclusionary housing need for 96 units, including 39 very-low income units. Therefore, over the current ten
20
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
Five Year Implementation Plan: FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14
year Compliance Plan period, the CDC must ensure that a total of 194 affordable units are produced, including 78
units available to very-low income households.
As shown in Table 2, the affordable housing development within the Project Area during this ten year period, both
actual and projected development, will result in a total of 273 affordable housing units, 183 of which are, or will be,
available to very-low income households. This creates a surplus of 79 affordable housing units. If very-low
income housing units are isolated in this analysis, the CDC would have a surplus of 105 housing units. According
to the Redevelopment Law, any surplus affordable housing units produced can by applied toward future
affordable housing production requirements within 10 years.
Therefore, as shown in Table 2 on the previous page, the CDC will have met its requirements for very low-income
units through June 30, 2014, and is projected to have a 79 unit surplus of affordable housing units . This surplus
of low- and moderate-income units allows the CDC flexibility with regard to negotiating with developers for future
residential development projects.
Production Needs over Duration of Redevelopment Plan
As shown on Table 1, during the fiscal year 2014-15 through 2018-19 planning period addressed in this
Compliance Plan, it is estimated that development projects will yield approximately 550 residential units in the
Project Area. The potential development will trigger a requirement for 83 affordable housing units; 33 very low-,
and 50 low- or moderate-income restricted units, which are expected to be built as part of the projects (Table 2).
Similarly, an estimated 200 housing units are projected to be developed in the Project Area between 2019-20
through the duration of the Redevelopment Plan (fiscal year 2026-27). generating an inclusionary production need
of 30 affordable housing units; 18 low-and-moderate-income housing units and 12 very-low-income housing units.
These required units are also expected to be developed as part of the housing projects. The CDC may also apply
any surplus affordable housing units developed within the previous ten year period to these required units. This
allows the CDC flexibility to work with future developers.
Replacement Housing Needs
The Redevelopment Law requires that whenever dwelling units housing low-and-moderate-income households
are destroyed as part of a CDC project, the CDC is responsible for ensuring that an equivalent number of
replacement units are constructed or substantially rehabilitated. These units must provide at least the same
number of bedrooms destroyed, and 100 percent of the replacement units must be affordable to the same or
lower income categories (i.e. very low, low, and moderate) as those removed. The CDC receives a full credit for
replacement units created inside or outside the Project Area. According to CDC staff, no units have been
destroyed by CDC activity. Additionally, no units are expected to be destroyed or removed as a part of a CDC
project during the planning period or over the life of the Redevelopment Plan.
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
The COC's primary source of funding for housing program implementation is the annual set-aside deposits of 20
percent of the CDC's total tax increment in the low-and-moderate-income Housing Fund. The Redevelopment
Law requires that not less than 20 percent of all tax increment revenue allocated to the CDC must be used to
increase, improve, and preserve the community's supply of housing available, at affordable housing cost, to
persons and families of very low-, low-, and moderate-incomes. Table 3 below presents a projection of housing
fund revenues and estimated expenditures including the amounts that may be available for housing production
activities over the 10-year planning period.
In accordance with Redevelopment Law section 33490(a)(2)(A)(i) and based on actual deposits and expenditures
to and from the LMIHF in the preceding years, RSG worked with City staff to project the future cash flow for the
fund for the next 5 and 10 years. As Table 3 on the next page, it is assumed that the 20 percent of increment
deposit to the LMIHF will grow by a conservative 2 percent annual rate. Administration and planning expenditures
are assumed to grow at a conservative annual rate of 1 percent after fiscal year 2013-14.

Five Year Implementation Plan: FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14
Beginning on July 1, 2009, the CDC had a LMIHF balance of
$0. Annual deposits to the LMIHF are expected to range from Table 3: Projected Housing Set Aside Deposits
approximately $2.6 to $2.7 million annually. In addition, the
CDC currently has a balance of $13.7 million in 2007H Tax Fiscal Year LMIHF Deposits

the community needs, both in terms of the income categories
as well as for non age-restricted units for low-income households.
Effective January 1, 2002, expenditure of housing set-aside revenues is subject to certain legal requirements. At
a minimum, the CDC's low and moderate income housing set-aside revenue is to be expended in proportion to
the community's need for very low and low income housing, as well as the proportion of the low income
population under the age of 65. New legal requirements took effect in 2006 that modified the previous limitation
of spending Housing Fund monies on households under the age of 65. Section 33334.4(b) of Redevelopment
Law had previously required that an agency spend its Housing Fund monies "in at least the same proportion as
the low-income population under age 65 bears to the most recent census." The new statute provides a higher
level of specificity to spend monies "in at least the same proportion as the number of low-income households with
a member under age 65 bears to the total number of low-income households of the community as reported in the
most recent census."
The percentage of very low and low income household expenditure requirements are based on Association of
Bay Area Governments Regional Housing Needs Assessment ("RHNA") requirements for the City of Rohnert
Park for the planning period of January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2014. The percentage of low income
households under the age of 65 is based on Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy ("CHAS") reports of
2000 Census data as required by SB 527 adopted in 2005. Data relating to low income households under the
age of 65 is not readily available from the Census. However, CHAS uses an extrapolation of Census data to
calculate the number of low income households under the age of 62; which is the data that may be closest to that
which is required by the Redevelopment Law and used in this Plan.
The current RHNA numbers, prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments for the period 2007 through
2014, as stated in the City's Housing Element, reflect a Citywide need for 875 affordable housing units including
273 moderate-income units, 231 low-income units, and 371 very low-income units. For LMIHF expenditure
purposes, the RHNA numbers reflect a minimum proportional expenditure obligation of 42.4 percent for very low-
Income households, and 26.4 percent for low-income households, while not more than 31.2 percent may be
expended to assist moderate-income households.
According to the CHAS data, 17 percent of the City's Census 2000 households were over the age of 62, while 83
percent of households were under the age of 62, as shown above in Table 4.
Table 4 on the following page presents the Agency's requirements over the Ten Year Planning Period for Housing
Fund expenditures, from January 1, 2002 June 30, 2014.

Notes:
1/ Prior to January 1, 2006, percentage targets for households under age 65
were based on total households, not just low income households. Prior to

Assessment fair share goals included 31 percent to very low income
households and 22 percent to low income households.
2/ Effective January 1, 2006,AB 527(Alquist)enacted a change to how targets
to households under age 65 should be determined, specifically to limit the
percentage to low income households in the community_ As a result, the
targets changed in 2006. However, because such data is not available
directly from the Census,common practice is to use data for households
under the age of 62 as reported in the Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy. (http:/socds.org/chas/index.htm)

Between 2002 and 2006, the CDC's expenditures on non-senior housing were expected to be proportional to the
prior requirement of 91.9% percent. Expenditures on very-low and low income households within the same period
were expected to be at lease 31.5 percent and 21.9 percent of total LMIHF expenditures, respectively.
However. for expenditures after 2006. and including this current implementation plan period, the minimum
requirement for non-senior housing expenditures is 83 percent of total LMIHF expenditures. The minimum
requirement for very-low and low housing after 2006 is 42.4 percent and 26.4 percent of total LMIHF
expenditures, respectively. Over the next five years of the compliance planning period, available LMIHF revenue
is required to be allocated based on these RHNA-based ratios.
Housing Set-Aside Expenditures since January 2002
The proportionality requirements affect expenditures over a ten year period, although the Redevelopment Law
permits the initial compliance to be reported for a period beginning January 2002 and ending June 30, 2014.
Table 5 on the following page documents the amount of LMIHF revenues utilized since January 2002 for these
income categories. The CDC is required to fulfill its target requirements by FY 2013-14.

Total Expenditures
As Table 5 demonstrates, the CDC has spent approximately $16.8 million from the LMIHF between fiscal years
2001-02 through 2008-09 on various affordable housing projects and programs. During the next five years, fiscal
years 2009-10 through 2013-14, the CDC estimates that approximately $10.7 million of LMIHF will be spent on
programs for very low, low and moderate income households.
Very Low Income
Based on these actual and planned expenditures for very low income households, the CDC will meet and exceed
the proportional spending targets for very-low income households by the end of the ten year planning period
ending fiscal year 2013-14. Actual expenditures since January 2002 total $8.6 million, and planned expenditures
over the next five years are estimated at $7.9 million, resulting in a combined total of $16.5 million. Planning
period targets are based on RHNA figures and are estimated at $13.5 million. As shown in Table 5, the CDC will
exceed these requirements and have a surplus of approximately $3 million. Historically, the CDC has focused
expenditures primarily on very-low income household, as shown by the $2.9 million surplus in expenditures for
this income category.
Low Income
Actual and planned expenditures for low income households during the Housing Compliance Plan 10-year period
are $7.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, resulting in a total of $10 million for this income category.
However, the planning period targets, based on RHNA figures, dictate that the CDC needed to spend $11.5
million on low income housing projects and programs. Information presented in Table 5 above reflects this
anticipated shortfall of approximately S1.5 million for low income households based on planning period targets.
The CDC will need to expend additional LMIHF on low income projects beyond those identified in this
Implementation Plan in order to comply with income targets anticipated at this point in time.

Households Under Age 65
With regard to LMIHF expenditures for households under the age of 65, Table 5 on the previous page shows that
over the ten-year compliance period, the CDC will have spent approximately $24 million on affordable housing
projects for households under the age of 65. Pursuant to current CHAS guidelines, the targeted minimum
expenditure for households under the age of 65 for the planning period is $25.1 million. Table 5 on the previous
page shows a shortfall of approximately $1.1 million of expenditures for households under the age of 65. It is
important to note that that the CDC anticipates only $26,000 in LMIHF expenditures between fiscal year 2009-10
and 2013-14, on the Rebuilding Together and SCAYD/Homeless Prevention Programs. The remaining $10.7 of
anticipated housing expenditures during this period will be spent assisting households under the age of 65.
Family Units Assisted by the Housing Fund
State law also requires a recap of the affordable housing projects for families (households under the age of 65)
assisted by the LMIHF over the past implementation plan period. Table 6 on the following page summarizes
these statistics by project from July 2004 through June 2009.
