Board of County Commissioners 9/4/2013 11A24 Adopted P
REPORT: County Attorney Robert Cuevas read the foregoing proposed resolution and Item 11A24 into the record, simultaneously. It was moved by Commissioner Heyman that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Zapata, followed by discussion. Chairwoman Sosa noted she had concerns regarding procedure and inquired as to whether the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) required prior approval and whether that approval was obtained. Referencing language in the Supplement to this item, she also asked whether staff had reviewed and confirmed that the qualifications of the original solicitation for this project were acceptable. Deputy Mayor Russell Benford noted an amendment was proposed for the supplemental item and read the amended language into the record as follows: The last sentence of the second to last paragraph, should read: “…“Additionally, in order to avoid putting our current relationship with the FTA at risk, it is required that the County obtain FTA approval of the assignment prior to execution of the assignment by the Mayor...” Mr. Benford stated the FTA’s approval would be obtained prior to execution of the contract, if the item was approved today. He also noted the item required staff to initiate due diligence process pertaining to the Atlantic | Pacific Community Housing Development, LLC’s financial capacity and adherence to the requirements of the initial solicitation, for each of the projects. Chairwoman Sosa asked Deputy Mayor Russell Benford, upon approval of the foregoing proposed resolution, to submit a report to each member of the Commission noting that the County Administration complied with the requirement to obtain Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approval of the assignment of the “Affordable Housing Contracts And Opportunities” from Carlisle to Atlantic | Pacific; and noting that staff had determined that Atlantic | Pacific met the qualifications of the original solicitation for the applicable projects. County Attorney Cuevas read, into the record, Commissioner Edmonson’s memorandum pertaining to the foregoing item, as follows: “…I will not be in attendance at the September 4, 2013, BCC meeting and I wanted to reiterate my support to the referenced agenda. This resolution authorizes the Administration to move forward with the vetting of Atlantic | Pacific Community Housing Development, LLC, and permits the Mayor or Mayor’s designee to execute an assignment of certain projects from Carlisle Development Group, LLC, but only after conclusion of the vetting process and, as applicable, the approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Transit Administration. These projects are important to my district, providing critical jobs and much needed affordable housing. My priority is to ensure that these vital projects stay on course, and as such, I sponsored this resolution and it was approved unanimously at the August 26, 2013, Health and Social Services Committee meeting, as Agenda Item 2L. I urge your support as well and thank you for your attention to this matter…” There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented and companion supplemental item as amended.

Health & Social Services Committee 8/26/2013 2I Forwarded to the BCC by the BCC Chairperson with a favorable recommendation P
REPORT: Assistant County Attorney Cynthia Johnson-Stacks read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record and advised that this item had a supplement, which had been distributed at the dais. Chairwoman Edmonson asked the Deputy Mayor whether the Administration approved this item. Deputy Mayor Russell Benford clarified that the proposed resolution directed the Office of the Mayor to proceed with the assignment of the contracts. He said that staff would like to begin this process, because of the importance of the projects. He referred to legislation from the County Commission requiring the Administration to perform a due diligence search to determine whether Atlantic/Pacific and the Affiliate met the essential requirements to accept and assume the liabilities of the Affordable Housing Contracts and Opportunities from Carlisle or Carlisle’s assignees. He indicated that staff had already initiated discussions with the United States Department of Housing (US HUD), and the Federal Transit Administration to ensure that the proper procedure was followed with regard to the assignment of the contracts. Chairwoman Edmonson relinquished the Chair to Commissioner Bell. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Committee members proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented. Chairwoman Edmonson resumed the Chair. SPECIAL NOTE: Chairwoman Edmonson submitted a memorandum dated August 27, 2013, entitled, "Request to Waive Item to the September 4, 2013 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Agenda."
