BACKGROUND: The Coldstream Development (PC-1) is located at the entrance to Coldstream Canyon on the west side of Truckee, south of Interstate 80 and just east of the Donner Memorial State Park. The project includes the construction of up to 300 residential units and 30,000 square feet of mixed use commercial space on land formerly owned by A. Teichert and Son, Inc. On September 20, 2019, the Board of Directors of the California Municipal Financing Authority adopted a resolution entitled, "A Resolution of Intention to Establish the California Municipal Finance Authority Community Facilities District No. 2019-2 (Town of Truckee — Coldstream). The total facilities cost associated with Community Facilities District (CFD) are $22.3M, with just over $3.8M of the financing to be included for the District's water and electric infrastructure. In order for the Coldstream Development to finance the infrastructure as planned, the District would need to enter into a Joint Community Facilities Agreement (JFCA) (Exhibit A Page 1 of 2 to the Draft Resolution in Attachment 1) in connection with the Bond Opportunities for Land Development (BOLD) Program. The action being brought before the Board in this item is consideration of entering into a JFCA in connection with the BOLD program. Should the Board adopt the resolution, the subsequent steps would include the Coldstream Properties, LLC submitting the BOLD program's application which would then lead to the formation of the CFD. This resolution does not commit the District to actually forming the CFD or providing the requested financing, but allows for the process to continue, while including the District's infrastructure. The District will have additional opportunities to conduct further analysis when the CFD is completed and/or when financing considerations are made, at which time an item shall be brought before the Board for final approval. This item is in support of the following objectives and goals identified by the District. 1.05.020 Objectives: 3. Provide reliable and high quality water supply and distribution system to meet current and future needs 4. Provide reliable and high quality electric supply and distribution system to meet current and future needs 1.05.030 Goals 1.1.3. Responsibly serve the public; 1. Promote communication and cooperation with other public and private agencies. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this action item. This resolution would allow the Coldstream Development Project to include the District's infrastructure for Electric and Water Service in their application for BOLD financing.
