COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ALAMEDA AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA
APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENT LIST OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECTS AND FUNDING REQUEST FOR SUCH

DISTRICT
Whereas, in 1991, the Community Improvement Commission of the City of
Alameda ("CIC") and the Alameda Unified School District ("AUSD") entered into a Pass
Through Agreement ("AUSD Agreement"); and
Whereas, the AUSD Agreement provides that funds allocated pursuant to Section
3, related to the School District Housing Fund ("District Housing Fund"), are to be utilized
for affordable housing purposes in a manner consistent with the AUSD Agreement and
funds from the District Housing Fund may only be drawn down by AUSD for eligible
affordable housing expenditures; and
Whereas, since dissolution of redevelopment in 2012, the Alameda County
Auditor-Controller has accumulated and held the funds from the District Housing Fund
and as of June 2020, it is estimated that approximately $6.27 million has accumulated;
and
Whereas, commencing in Fiscal Year 2016-17, the Successor Agency of the
Community Improvement Commission ("Successor Agency") has requested, and the
Department of Finance has approved, expenditures for the District's Housing Fund
obligation under the Guyton Judgment and Settlement Agreement, as reflected on the
Successor Agency's Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS"); and
Whereas, in May 2018, AUSD entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda ("MOU") that in part provides that the
Housing Authority ("AHA") will assist the AUSD in implementing its responsibilities under
the AUSD Agreement and establishes a process for the AHA to make funding requests
to AUSD for affordable housing projects that implement the terms of the AUSD
Agreement; and
Whereas, the Successor Agency has been transferring to the AHA funds approved
on its ROPS schedule, pursuant to the MOU; and
Whereas, the Successor Agency intends to continue to report amounts
corresponding to the District Housing Fund on its ROPS for affordable housing uses
consistent with the terms of the AUSD Agreement and amounts so received by the
Successor Agency will continue to be transferred to the AHA pursuant to the terms of the
MOU; and
Whereas, since 2016-17, the Successor Agency has been receiving
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF} funding for the ROPS obligation
(Guyton Judgment and Settlement Agreement) that is partially duplicative with the District
Housing Fund amounts held by the County and City of Alameda ("City") staff has
requested the County to make an adjustment to determine the portion of funds held by
the County obligated pursuant to the terms of the AUSD Agreement, considering this
ROPS funding; and
Whereas, after making the above adjustments, an estimated $1 .8 million of the
funds held by the County Auditor-Controller are obligated under the AUSD Agreement;
and
Whereas, City staff has requested, and the County Auditor-Controller has agreed,
the net amount obligated pursuant to the AUSD Agreement should be released to fund
eligible housing costs; and
Whereas, City staff has requested, and the County Auditor-Controller has agreed,
that the balance of funds held by the County Auditor-Controller not obligated under the
terms of the AUSD Agreement by reason of having been satisfied through the ROPS
process, totaling approximately $4.4 million should be distributed to the affected taxing
agencies; and
Whereas, as provided in the AUSD Agreement, AUSD has requested the
Successor Agency and City Council of the City of Alameda ("City Council") to review and
approve the Development List and Funding Request at a noticed public hearing; and
Whereas, the Development List and Funding Request are attached hereto as
Exhibit A; and
Whereas, to approve the Development List and Funding Request, the Successor
Agency must make findings consistent with the requirements of the AUSD Agreement,
including that the Development List projects are consistent with the Community
Redevelopment Law, the terms and conditions of the AUSD Agreement, and the
Settlement Agreement; and
Whereas, in addition, to approve the Development List and Funding Request, the
City Council must make findings that the Development List is consistent with the City's
Housing Element of its General Plan; and
Whereas, on July 7, 2020, the Successor Agency and City Council held a joint
meeting and the Successor Agency conducted a noticed public hearing in order to take
public comment on and review the Development List and Funding Request as requested
by the AUSD; and
Whereas, the Successor Agency has reviewed the Development List projects in
accordance with the Section 6 of the Pass Through Agreement; and
Whereas, the Successor Agency finds: (1) that the Development List includes one
project, Rosefield Village, and a Funding Request of $1.8 million; (2) Rosefield Village is
an existing Housing Authority property that will be redeveloped to increase the total
number of affordable apartments, the property currently includes 53 housing units, the
redevelopment project will demolish 40 of these units and replace them with a new 78-
unit apartment building with community spaces and on-site property management offices,
five of the other buildings on the property will be renovated, when complete, the $77
million redevelopment and renovation project will provide 92 rental units, the project will
be affordable to households earning between 20-80% of AMI, and construction is
anticipated to begin in late summer 2020; and
Whereas, based thereon, the Rosefield Village Project is consistent with Section
6 of the Pass-Through Agreement, the Community Redevelopment Law, and the Guyton
Judgment and Settlement Agreement as it is located in the former BWIP, is serving
households earning a maximum income of 80% of AMI, and will provide a preference for
a certain number of units for eligible AUSD employees.
Whereas, the City Council finds that the Rosefield Project is consistent with the
City's Housing Element as follows:
Goal #1: Provide housing services and opportunities to support, maintain, and
enhance Alameda's diverse community and excellent quality of life and provide for the
housing needs of Alameda•s future residents and regional housing needs.
Policy HE-1: Support public and private efforts to increase the supply of housing
