We have had a chance to briefly talk with Julia Abdala and to review the most recent report to Council (and to thank Ophelia for suggesting we might be helpful). Immediately Applicable Experience We would be very interested in working on this. Chris Gouig mad I would be the key personnel in working with the City. As background, Chris has made a number of presentations to the Council, on behalf of the Dublin Housing Authority. She helped negotiate the Shea Homes project on behalf of the Authority and advised on the bond financing. She also, many years ago, worked with Libby Seifel in helping draft the City's original inclusionary ordinance. Before joining the firm in 1989, she was the Planning Director for San Mateo County and the Executive Director of the Housing Authority and Redevelopment Agency for Sonoma County. As Ophelia may have mentioned, I have worked successfully with quite a number of public agencies in negotiating major development projects. The projects where Klein Financial served as the developer's advisor were: · Pasadena. We assisted the Community Development Commission over several years on a large mixed- income development adjoining City Hall on City land, significantly reducing the City's financial investment and risk exposure on very complex, evolving developer proposals. Long Beach. We were asked to help resolve a workout of a mixed-income, mixed-use downtown development involving multi-family bonds, redevelopment agency land, and Mello-Roos infrastructure bonds. The project had been developed by the Janns Company, as in Pasadena, but defaulted shortly after the bonds were issued. We helped negotiate the workout to avoid risk to the City. · Boise. Over the last two years, we helped the Boise housing and redevelopment authorities on an extremely complex financing involving a large multi-family development, multiple parking garages, the University of Idaho and its foundation, four series of multi-family bonds, and two layers of public ground leases. Livermore. Also over the last two years we assisted the City of Livermore in negotiating disposition agreements, subsidies and bond financing for the Livermore senior assisted living project. c'r Z00 A'¢% DUBLIN PLANNING SAN FRANCISCO [ ONE POST STRE~ SUITE2130 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94104 T4159562454 F4159562875 As other background, I represented the City of Anaheim for seven years in conducting ali the financial negotiations with The Walt Disney Company for the new theme park, expansion of the Convention Center, and area-wide improvements. We also assisted the City of Denver in negotiating the detailed inclusionary and affordability requirements with Forest City for the re-use of Stapleton Airport. CSG Advisors As background on the firm, we are an independent financial advisory and consulting firm specializing in affordable housing and major development projects for public agencies. A firm brochure is attached, but a few key points are highlighted below: · Independence. We work solely for public agencies and non-profit organizations and do not represent private developers. · Location. We are a national firm, with offices in Atlanta and New York, but the largest office is San Francisco, where we have been working for California communities since 1982. · Housing Financing. For each of the last 20 years, we have been the leading financial advisor for housing revenue bonds both in California and nationally, and have completed $45 billion of housing financings. · Negotiations. As indicated above, we work extensively on major developer negotiations, investment of local housing funds, inclusionary requirements, land disposition agreements and public-private partnerships. · Land Development. We don't know if this will be relevant on this project, but in California we work extensively on infrastructure financing related to major development projects, including the infrastructure financing strategy for the new tenth campus of the University of California in Merced, the initial infrastructure financing for Mission Bay in San Francisco and the financing strategy for an 8,000 acre annexation for Fontana. On almost all of the projects where Klein Financial was involved, they proposed infrastructure financing along with housing revenue bonds to maximize the amount of tax- exempt debt. · Implementation Experience. As a finn, we are unusual in working both on the front-end negotiation and project development issues and on all the details of bond financing and final implementation. This dual focus allows us to help make certain that the City's initial objectives aren't lost in the final details. One of the things we have learned in all these projects, especially the ones mentioned above, is how the deal keeps changing and evolving and the City needs to find a clear and firm away to avoid subsequent chipping away of money and other provisions.

These strategies integrated multiple bond issues, federal and local funds, and surplus public properties. Mr. Slater led national policy efforts and western U.S. projects for CSG~s role as financial advisor to the Resolution Trust Corporation on its tax-exempt related assets. He designed the RTC's financing program for selling affordable housing projects directly to public agencies and nonprofit corporations. In recent years, he has specialized in designing real estate strategies for complex public-private development projects. For Sacramento, he helped design a major public-private partnership to acquire 1300 units of officer housing from an Air Force base that is closing; the homes would be sold to low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers. For the City of Anaheim, he conducted the City's seven years of fiscal and financial negotiations with Disney over its proposed second gate project, that led to the successful selection of the Anaheim site and over $600 million of public improvements.

He designed growth strategies and innovative zoning ordinances, managed citizen-based planning efforts, and designed downtown development strategies for several cities.
