negotiation;

moderate-income persons intended to be beneficiaries of the CDBG-assisted

same benefits as are being made available. or provided to the group or class;
d) Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in
a position as described in this subparagraph b);

affected when weighted against the public interest served by avoiding the
prohibited conflict; and

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION, OBJECTIVES, AND REQUIREMENTS
A. Project Description. The City of Aspen, through the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority
(APCHA), will rehabilitate and reconstruct a vacant lodging facility into 40 units of low-to-moderate
income rental housing for seniors in accordance with performance goals and timelines outlined in
Exhibit C, Project Performance Plan. The 40 units will be comprised of four(4) efficiencies, thirty-
three (33) one bedroom, and three (3) two-bedroom units. CDBG funds will be used for construction.
B. Special Provisions. The City of Aspen will pass the grant through to APCHA, and APCHA will loan
the money to the tax credit partnership. The partnership agreement will provide for APCHA to own
the property at the end of the tax credit compliance period.
C.
Rents. To insure the housing is affordable to low and moderate income persons, rents charged for
units available to low and moderate income persons shall not exceed the "Fair Market Rent's
periodically established by HUD for the Section 8 rental assistance program for existing housing,
or such other standard as may be subsequently approved by the State. The current Fair Market
Rents established by HUD for existing rental housing in Pitkin County are $572 for efficiencies,
$783 per month for oM-bedroom units, and $1,044 per month for two-bedroom units. These
maximum rents include utilities or a utilities allowance if utilities are not included in the rents.
. Regardless of changes in fair market rents and in median incomes over time, the qualifying rents
are not required to be lower than the fair market rents for the project in effect at the time of contract
execution. The contractor shall make a good faith effort to make rental assistance available to as
many tenants as possible.
f"'\
D. Use Restriction. During a period of ten (10) years following the date of closeout of the Project by

improved unless: 1) the State determines the new use meets one of the national objectives of the
CDBG program, and 2) the Contractor provides affected citizens with reasonable notice and a.n
opportunity to comment on any proposed changes. This use restriction shall be recorded and a
copy sent to the State. If the Contractor decides, after consultation with affected citizens that It is
appropriate to change the use of the property to a use which the State determines does not qualify
in meeting a CDBG national objective, the Contractor must reimburse to the State an amount equal
to the current fair market value of the property, less any portion of the value attributable to
expenditures of non-CDBG funds for acquisition of and improvements to, the property. At the end
of the ten (10) year period following the Project closeout date and thereafter, no State restrictions
on use of the property shall be in effect.
E. Eligible Beneficiaries. For the purposes of CDBG funds, all elderly persons are presumed to have
incomes equal to or below 80% AMI to meet CDBG requirements. At least 51 % of the tenants must
have incomes at or below 80% of AMI, or, in this case, must be elderly. However, to meet the
L1HTC requirements, tenant incomes must adhere to the following specifications: One two-bedroom
apartment will be rented to an on-site manager earning 50% AMI. Two two-bedroom apartments
(850 square feet), 28 one-bedroom apartments (650 square feet), and three efficiency apartments
(400 square feet) will rent to seniors at 5Cl% AMI. Five one-bedroom apartments and one efficiency
apartment will rent to seniors at 40% AMI.
