EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services
Services to be Provided:
MBCDC will provide a combination of homeownership activities(rehabilitation, down payment and/or closing cost
assistance to home buyers). The units must have received certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion,and
be occupied by income eligible households in accordance with all SHIP rules.
Due Diligence Requirement:
For homeowner activities, if assistance is provided for the purchase of any condominium unit, MBCDC must, as a
prerequisite to committing funds for the purchase of said condominium, undertake a due diligence review of the
fiscal and physical health of the condominium association and of the building. Before the City releases SHIP funds
for homeownership activities, MBCDC shall provide the City proof that it undertook said due diligence plan and
show that the condominium's financial or physical condition is not likely to jeopardize the SHIP-assisted purchaser.
It shall be in the City's sole discretion as to whether such condition is satisfactory to invest SHIP funding. To
satisfy this requirement, it is recommended that a professional, licensed home inspector who is capable of
examining buildings be contracted to review the physical aspects of the condominium.
Recapture of Funds:
Dwelling units that utilize SHIP funds which are sold to and/or rehabilitated by eligible homebuyers shall be subject
to subsidy recapture provisions which are consistent with those already adopted by the City's Local Housing
Assistance Plan(LHAP)for Fiscal Years 2010/11 through 2012/13. It is the City's intent to allow the homeowner to
realize the equity from their home. The period of time SHIP assisted units must remain affordable is in accordance

working drawings and specifications;for supervision, for cost certification; and for other designated tasks.
• Permit fees-those fees paid to the City's Building Services Division for permits necessary to undertake the
