follows:
Section 2009. Use of tax.
All monies derived from the
Tenant-Participating Conversion Tax shall be annually appropriated by the
City Council for only the following purposes:
(a) To pay for reasonable and necessary
costs of development and administration of programs required to meet the
purposes of this Section. Such monies shall not be used for costs
attributable to the processing of Tenant-Participating Conversion
Applications or to the non-project related administrative overhead of
nonprofit housing development corporations that are acquiring and
rehabilitating, constructing, or providing rental subsidies for affordable
housing in the City.
(b) One-half of The revenues
derived from Section 2008 that remain after deducting the revenues
appropriated pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section shall be used as
follows:
(1) To assist Low Income Households and
Moderate Income Households in Tenant-Participating Conversions to purchase
or improve their units subject to an affordable repayment plan including
interest, keyed to future income increases. Upon resale of a unit by a
household assisted pursuant to this Subsection, the City shall receive a
percentage of the appreciated value of that unit obtained by the assisted
household. In the case of a direct loan, the percentage of the appreciated
value received by the City shall not be less than the percentage of the
loan to the purchase price for the unit. In the case of a loan made by a
private lender that is guaranteed by the City, the percentage of the
appreciated value received by the City shall not be less than the
percentage of that portion of the loan guaranteed by the City to the
overall loan provided by the private lender. Monies received by the
City as a result of shared appreciation shall be expended in accordance
with Subsection (c) of this Section. Monies received in repayment of the
original loan amount and interest thereto shall be expended in accordance
with this Subsection.
(2) To assist the City or a nonprofit
housing development corporation to purchase units, for which a
Tenant-Participating Conversion Application has been approved, for lease
or resale to Low and Moderate Income Households, provided that any unit so
acquired shall be subject to limited equity resale provisions.
(3) Revenues expended pursuant to this
Subsection shall be equally allocated between Low Income Households and
Moderate Income Households.
(3) (c) One-half of the
revenues derived from Section 2008 that remain after deducting the
revenues appropriated pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section
shall be used To assist the City or a nonprofit housing development
corporation to acquire and rehabilitate, construct, aid in the financing
of, or provide rental subsidies for temporary or permanent housing for Low
Income Households.
All monies received by the City prior
to June 7, 1992 pursuant to Section 2008 of this Article shall be expended
by the City in accordance with this Section as amended at the November 6,
1990 Santa Monica Municipal Election unless these monies are not
expended by January 1, 1993, in which case the 1992 amendments shall
apply.
