Section 1: The Board of the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (the "Authority") intends to issue tax-
exempt obligations (the "Obligations") for the purpose, among other things, of making a loan to
Orange Housing Development Corporation and Fountainhead Partners L.P., or a limited
partnership or a limited liability company to be formed by such entities (the "Developer"), the
proceeds of which shall be used by the Developer to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation and
development of a 155-unit hotel into an 83-unit senior residential housing facility to be located at
939 E. Seventeenth Street, Santa Ana, California and to be commonly known as Fountain
Gardens Apartments (the "Project"); and
B. United States Income Tax Regulations section 1.103-18 provides generally that
proceeds of tax-exempt debt are not deemed to be expended when such proceeds are used for
reimbursement of expenditures made prior to the date of issuance of such debt unless certain
procedures are followed, among which is a requirement that (with certain exceptions), prior to the
payment of any such expenditure, the issuer must declare an intention to reimburse such
expenditure; and
C. It is in the public interest and for the public benefit that the Authority deClares its official
intent to reimburse the expenditures referenced herein;
Section 2. The Authority intends to issue the Obligations for the purpose of paying the
costs of financing the acquisition, rehabilitation and development of the Project.
Section 3. The Authority hereby declares that it reasonably expects that a portion of the
proceeds of the Obligations will be used for reimbursement of expenditures for the acquisition,
rehabilitation and development of the Project that are paid before the date of initial execution and
delivery of the Obligations.
Section 4. The maximum amount of proceeds of the Obligations to be used for
reimbursement of expenditures for the acquisition, rehabilitation and development of the Project
that are paid before the date of initial execution and delivery of the Obligations is not to exceed
000.
Section 5. The foregoing declaration is consistent with the budgetary and financial
circumstances of the Authority in that there are no funds (other than proceeds of the Obligations)
that are reasonably expected to be (i) reserved, (ii) allocated or (iii) otherwise set aside, on a long-
term basis, by or on behalf of the Authority, or any public entity controlled by the Authority, for the
expenditures for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Project that are expected to be reimbursed
from the proceeds of the Obligations.

costs in connection with the issuance of the Obligations, including, but not limited to, any fees and
expenses incurred by the Authority in anticipation of the issuance of the Obligations, the cost of
printing any official statement, rating agency costs, bond counsel fees and expenses, underwriting
discount and costs, trustee fees and expense, and the costs of printing the Obligations. The
payment of the principal, redemption premium, if any, and purchase price of and interest on the

a debt or obligation of the Authority.

as bond counsel to the Authority in connection with the issuance of the Obligations. The fees and
expense of bond counsel and any financial advisor employed by the Authority in connection with
the issuance of the Obligations are to be paid solely from the proceeds of the Obligations or
directly by the Developer.
Section 8. The appropriate officers or staff of the Authority are hereby authorized, for and
~n the name of and on behalf of the Authority, to make an application to the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee for an allocation of private activity bonds for the financing of the Project.

financing to the Developer for the acquisition, rehabilitation and development of the Project or to
issue the Obligations for purposes of such financing; or (ii) the Authority, of or any department of
the Authority or the City of Santa Ana to approve any application or request for, or take any other
action in connection with, any environmental, General Plan, zoning or any other permit or other
action necessary for the acquisition, rehabilitation, development or operation of the Project.
Section 10. The Authority has determined, pursuant to Section 34292 of the Health and
Safety code of the State of California (the "Housing Authorities Law") that the issuance and
delivery of the bonds and the execution and delivery of related documents, and the adoption of this
