Loading...
Summary
The council approved a TEFRA hearing resolution clearing the way for up to $16 million in CMFA tax‑exempt bonds to finance a 59‑unit senior affordable development at 830 West Bonita Ave; staff said the City bears no repayment obligation and will receive an issuance fee share.
The Claremont City Council adopted a resolution at a TEFRA hearing to allow the California Municipal Finance Authority to issue exempt facility bonds not to exceed $16,000,000 for development of a 59‑unit senior affordable housing project at 830 West Bonita Ave.
Why it matters: Finance Director Jeremy Starkey told the council the project would split units between low‑income seniors and low‑income seniors who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, include an on‑site manager, and offer supportive services in partnership with Hope Through Housing Foundation and Tri City Mental Health Services. Starkey said the debt would be the sole responsibility of NCRC Clermont LP and that the City would bear no legal or financial obligation for repayment.
Details: Starkey said the CMFA would assist with issuing the debt and that the City would receive an estimated issuance fee benefit (staff estimated roughly $5,000–$8,000 to the general fund). On‑site amenities described by staff include a community room, technology hub and landscape/active‑space design oriented to seniors.
Council action: The council read the resolution and voted to adopt it on roll call. No public speakers addressed the TEFRA item during the hearing.
Next steps: Council adoption allows the developer and CMFA to pursue issuance; staff noted that no City fiscal obligation exists and that detailed financing documents will include disclaimers to that effect.
