Per Colorado Revised Statutes rules, PAB Volume Cap must be used, carriedforward, or assigned before September 15 of a given calendar year. 2) Reguestin~ department: Housing and Development 3) Title: ASSIGNMENT OF ALLOCATION (Multi-Family Housing Facility Bonds) 4) Staff submitting: Jill Klosterman, Assistant Director of Housing & Development 5) Purpose: On December 22, 2008, Eagle County was notified that Private Activity Bond Volume Capacity ("Volume Cap") of $2,363,640 had been allocated to Eagle County. Eagle County must use, carryforward, or relinquish its Volume Cap prior to September 15, 2009. As Eagle County has not yet utilized its Volume Cap, staff recommends that Eagle County assign its Volume Cap to CHFA for a multifamily use. This assignment will allow Eagle County to utilize the Volume Cap to finance a mt~ltifamily project in the near future should a suitable project come up. Should a multifamily project not arise, CHFA could use the Volume Cap to finance single family mortgages. CHFA would attempt to generate this level of mortgages in Eagle Co~~nty. Finally, the assignment of the Volume Cap to CHFA gives Eagle County the ability to have some amount of control over where the Volume Cap is used in addition to the ability to use the Volume Cap for its own potential multifamily project. 6) Schedule: All agreements must be executed and submitted to CHFA prior to September 15, 2009. 7) Financial considerations: The assignment of Volume Cap to CHFA will not have any immediate financial considerations to Eagle Co~inty. 8) Other: ~ ~- ~"~`i r~ V - ~ APP!~O~~ED AS TO FORM 8y: -= J ~- Eagle ~ounty Rt~rney's Office Sy~ ~e~ls [i~i~lit~ ~gYilffiitaQi~an2Pia' t~ffiao
