accounts and records is made by a certified public accountant or public accountant, a report thereof
shall be filed as a public record with each Member and also with the county auditor of each county

accountants or public accountants in making an audit pursuant to this Section, shall be borne by

other fiduciary to receive, have custody of and disburse Authority funds, the Treasurer of the
Authority shall receive, have the custody of and disburse Authority funds pursuant to the
accounting procedures developed under Sections 3.0 and 9, and shall make the disbursements

writing and shall file such notice as an amendment to this Agreement effective upon such filing.

Authority of any person who is or was a Director or an officer, employee of other agent of the
Authority, and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason
of the fact that such person is or was such a Director or an officer, employee or other agent of the
Authority, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted
in good faith in a mariner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Authority and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
of such person was unlawful and, in the case of an action by or in the right of the Authority, acted
with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position
would use under similar circumstances.

contributions to the Authority to provide for the costs and expenses of administration of the
Authority, even though any Member may do so. The Members understand and agree that a portion
of the funds of the Authority that otherwise may be allocated or distributed to the Members may
instead be used to make grants, loans or provide other financial assistance to governmental units

TEFRA Public Hearing and Resolution for Granger Apartments
The purpose of the public hearing on September 6th is to comply with the Tax and
Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act ("TEFRA") in connection with the proposed issuance of
revenue bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority ("CMFA"), a joint exercise
of powers authority and public entity of the State of California. The Bonds will be in an
amount not to exceed $50,000,000 (the "Bonds"), and will be used to finance or
refinance the costs of the acquisition, rehabilitation and improvement of an existing 180-
unit multifamily affordable facility located at 2700 East 8th Street in the City, and
commonly known as Granger Apartments (the "Project").
The City Council of the City of National City will conduct the public hearing under the
requirements of TEFRA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). After conducting the public hearing the City Council will consider adopting the
resolution approving the issuance of the Bonds by the CMFA for the benefit of Granger
housing, LP or any subsidiary or affiliate created by SDG Housing, a California nonprofit
corporation and an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Borrower"), to provide for the financing of the Project, such adoption
is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of TEFRA, the Code and the
California Government Code Section 6500 (and following). The resolution will also
authorize the Mayor or designee thereof to execute the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement with the CMFA.
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY:
The California Municipal Finance Authority ("CMFA") was created on January 1, 2004
pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and
community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable
activities throughout California. To date, over 240 municipalities have become members
of CMFA. CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations and
businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the
standard of living in California. The CMFA's representatives and its Board of Directors
have considerable experience in bond financings.
EXECUTION OF THE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT:
In order for the CMFA to have the authority to serve as the issuer of the bonds for the
Project, it is necessary for the City of National City to become a member of the CMFA.
Attached to this report is a copy of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to be
executed by a designated signatory of the City. The Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement provides that the CMFA is a public entity, separate and apart from each
member executing such agreement. The debts, liabilities and obligations of the CMFA
do not constitute debts, liabilities or obligations of the members executing such
agreement.
There are no costs associated with membership in the CMFA and the City is not
exposed to any financial liability by reason of its membership in the CMFA. In addition,
participation by the City in the CMFA will not impact the City's appropriations limits and
will not constitute any type of indebtedness by the City. Outside of holding the TEFRA
hearing, adopting the required resolution and executing the Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement of the CMFA, no other participation or activity of the City or the City Council
with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will be required.
The Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement expressly provides that any member may
withdraw from such agreement upon written notice to the Board of Directors of the
CMFA. In the case of the proposed bond financing for the Borrower, the City following
its execution of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, could, at any time following the
issuance of the Bonds, withdraw from the CMFA by providing written notice to the Board
of Directors of the CMFA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the
Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or
responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the
Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain
clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the City or the State of California,
but are to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.
The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a
California non-profit public benefit corporation (the "Foundation"), acts as the Board of
Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a
portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a
portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With
respect to the City of National City, it is expected that that a portion of the issuance fee
attributable to the City, approximately $15,000, will be granted by the CMFA to the
general fund of the City about three weeks after bond closing (December 1, 2016).
Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City.

thereof executing the Bonds shall be liable personally on any Bond or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance of any Bonds.
Section 9. Accounts and Reports.
All funds of the Authority shall be strictly accounted for. The Authority shall establish and

report as a public record electronically on a website designated by the Authority. Such report if
made shall be filed within 12 months of the end of the Fiscal Year or Years under examination.
The Treasurer is hereby directed to report in writing on the first day of July, October,
January, and April of each year to the Board and the Members which report shall describe the
amount of money held by the Treasurer for the Authority, the amount of receipts since the last
such report, and the amount paid out since the last such report (which may exclude amounts held
by a trustee or other fiduciary in connection with any Bonds to the extent that such trustee or other
fiduciary provided regular reports covering such amounts.)
Any costs of the audit, including contracts with, or employment of, certified public
accountants or public accountants in making an audit pursuant to this Section, shall be borne by
the Authority and shall be a charge against any unencumbered funds of the Authority available for
that purpose.
In any Fiscal Year the Board may, by resolution adopted by unanimous vote, replace the
annual special audit with an audit covering a two-year period.

accounting procedures developed under Sections 3.0 and 9, and shall make the disbursements
required by this Agreement or otherwise necessary to carry out any of the provisions of purposes
of this Agreement.

writing and shall file such notice as an amendment to this Agreement effective upon such fling.

Authority, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted
in good faith in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Authority and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
