SUBJECT:

DISCUSSION TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED MID-CYCLE BIENNIAL FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FOR 2025-26 & 2026-27
As part of the biennial budgeting process, the City Manager and Finance staff are presenting to the City Council of the City the Agoura Hills the proposed Mid-cycle Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 of the approved City of Agoura Hills adopted biennial budget 2025-26 & 2026-27.

BACKGROUND
On June 23, 2025, the City of Agoura Hills’ City Council discussed and approved the collective biennial City Council budget for the fiscal years 2025-26 & 2026-27 budget cycle.

The Mid-Cycle process allows staff to present to the Finance Subcommittee a review of the forecasts and strategic assumptions that were taken into consideration when the budget was created. Since adoption, staff have been able to monitor economic trends, review revenue performance, and evaluate current City projects. This process has allowed Staff to incorporate new information (such as updated revenue projections and expenditure adjustments) and ensure that the second year of the budget remains, balanced, responsive, and aligned with the City Councils’ goals.

Although the Mic-Cycle review focuses on the City's General Fund, this staff report also provides an update for other funds where fiscal changes are noted. Considering current economic conditions and the most recent operating analysis, staff updated the assumptions and projections incorporated in the City's five-year financial forecast for the General Fund. This long-term forecast establishes an appraisal of fiscal sustainability beyond the current budget cycle, providing important context to the annual budget process.

GENERAL FUND
The City of Agoura Hills' General Fund is the main operating account that funds daily operations, administration, public safety, legal services, and other City Departments.

Staff developed a Proposed 2026-27 budget that continues to include the adopted City Council Goals, each department’s operational programming for 2026-27, an appropriation of the annual community grants, approved City Council and Employee Compensation plan, the City’s annual debt obligations, and the annual required California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Employer Contribution.

REVENUES
At last year's budget presentation, Staff presented the following chart, explaining how the fiscal year 2026/27, would be impacted with assumptions from the 2025/26 budget year.

General Budget Overview Adopted
FY 2025-2026 & FY 2026-2027
Revenue expectations have changed in the last year. Staff has been actively working with the City's revenue consultant, who via their updated revenue forecast reports ahve recommended a decrease to the overall revenues by 8.33% (approximately, $1,794,891). This is due to decreases in sales tax, a change in building plan check, and the use of the Loan Payment from the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) being previously categorized as an income stream. The original adopted total Revenues for FY 2026-27 were $21,542, 416 and the proposed revenues are $19,747,525.

EXPENDITURES
As financial uncertainty increased, staff approached overall City expenditures with a trend analysis and timing of projects; when analyzing expenditures for FY 2026/27. Meetings with department heads included discussions about possible reductions or changes in planned projects, timing of expected use of resources, review of 2nd Year impact of the Cost Allocation Fee Schedule, maintained personnel freezes, and this year, examined salary savings through personnel as several staff members announced their future retirement plan.

Through these efforts, Staff lowered expenditures by 8.3% as well, and managed to increase the surplus by $7,215.

Staff had accounted for a Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase of 3.2%, a Law Enforcement Increase of

4.1% and the CalPERS Contribution (Classic members: 5.5% (0.5% increase added to the previous contribution rate of 5.0% as per Resolution 25-2109, approved by the City Council) and PEPRA members: 7.75% (established by CalPERS); these costs were adjusted with actual rates this year to account for these approved costs.

General Budget Overview Proposed
FY 2025-2026 & FY 2026-2027
Staff is aware the revenue streams have been affected by the overall macro environment, along with the increase in expenditures. Staff has always held a conservative approach to the budget and willl monitor any changes during the upcoming fiscal year.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN & SPECIAL FUNDS
City Staff has updated the City's proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which is a long-term financial plan used by the City of Agoura Hill's Public Works, Community Services, and Finance Departments to schedule and finance public infrastructure projects for the FY 2026/27 year and foreseeable future. The plan includes the Annual Citywide Street Resurfacing and Annual Concrete Repairs, as wells as other long-term projects such as Storm Drain Diversion and the Bicyccle Master Plan Implementation; the update also includes the funds that the City Council requested for City Council Goals for Measure W; such as Liberty Canyon Creek Restoration, and the Water Quality study for Lake Lindero. Funds were also appropriated to the Solid Waste Fund for the Waste Hauling Franchise Agreement.

These projects are funded largely by the City's Special Funds, such as Measure M, Measure R, Community Development Block Grant, Proposition C, and Proposition A, where applicable the General Fund has approved appropriations for these projects. The estimated budgeted amount for the CIP plan for FY 2026/27 is $19,131,817.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no budget impact to the FY 2025-2026 approved budget, as staff is requesting the City Council review the updated Proposed Mid-Cycle Biennial Fiscal Year 2025-26 & 2026-27 Budget. Any possible changes that could lead to a fiscal impact of the proposed biennial budget will be discussed during the City Council Meeting on June 24, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council review and discuss the Proposed Biennial Fiscal Year General Fund and Special Funds Budget for 2025-26 & 2026-27 and provide guidance or recommendations for adjustments.

In February 2011, the City recorded an advance of $44 million to the Redevelopment Agency. In December 2011, the California Supreme Court dissolved the Redevelopment Agency and the City elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency. The Successor Agency makes annual payments on the outstanding debt and 20% of the loan repayment is transferred to the Housing Successor Agency to fund low to moderate income housing activities. 144

Capital Improvement Plan Capital Improvement Plan
Overview:

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the City of Agoura Hills is a long-term planning tool that guides investment in the City’s physical infrastructure and major assets. It outlines a multi-year forecast of capital projects aligned with Agoura Hills’ development goals, financial resources, and service priorities. Typical projects include roadway and
transportation improvements, water and wastewater system upgrades, public safety facilities, and parks.

The CIP helps prioritize projects based on factors such as public safety, infrastructure condition, community benefit, and economic impact. It is funded through a combination of the General Fund, special funds, and state and federal grants.

Reviewed and updated annually as part of the City’s budget process, the CIP ensures that project planning remains
responsive to changing needs and resources.

By providing a structured approach to capital planning, the CIP enhances transparency, improves coordination across departments, reduces long-term maintenance costs, and
supports the City’s vision for a well-maintained and resilient infrastructure system.

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
I. POLICY
This investment policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City of Agoura Hills (City). The funds are accounted for and incorporated in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Trust Funds.

The purpose of this investment policy is to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City objectives of safety, liquidity and return on investment through a diversified investment portfolio.

This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).

II. SCOPE
This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., with the following exceptions:
x Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are to be invested pursuant to the permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
x Any other funds specifically exempted by the City Council. 159

POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
The Treasurer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Treasurer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.

IV. OBJECTIVES
The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives 160
of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return. x SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns. x LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. x RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.

V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq. The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the Treasurer.

The City Manager, after reviewing the City's cashflow needs with the Director of Finance, will authorize the amount of cash available to be invested by the City Treasurer.

The Treasurer will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to the people responsible for investment transactions.

No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Treasurer.

The Treasurer may authorize the Director of Finance to function as the City’s Investment Officer in performing the treasury functions and duties under this policy. When acting as the City’s Investment Officer as provided in this paragraph, the Director of Finance shall be subject to the direction and supervision of the Treasurer, shall coordinate with the City Treasurer on 161
investments, and shall discuss changes in the composition of the City’s investment portfolio with the Treasurer prior to purchasing these investments.

The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.

The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall function as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Director of Finance any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio.

Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City. Investment officials must file an annual Statement of Economic Interest Form 700 with the city clerk’s office prior to April 1 of each year or when material interest in financial institutions or personal investment positions require it.

VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
Subject to the direction and supervision of the Treasurer, the Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the financial assets of the City are protected 162
from loss, theft, fraud, or misuse.

The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Internal controls state that every transaction must be reviewed, authorized, and documented. Transaction documentation will be maintained for audit purposes.

The investments placed shall conform to the City's "Statement of Investment Policy.”
Annually the City’s auditor will conduct an independent analysis to review internal controls, account activity, compliance with policies and procedures and review of investment records and verify the investments have been made in accordance with this policy.

VIII. WIRE TRANSFER CONTROLS
All City wire transfers will be executed in accordance with written operating procedures specifying controls required for wire transfers of funds. All wire transfers require three City employees to initiate, approve, and release each transaction. Two factor authentication is required for each individual to engage in the wire release process, which includes unique passwords, and the use of bank security tokens generating random numerical passwords.

Final release of any and all wires from the City, investment or otherwise, require the approval of either the City Manager or Director of Finance.

LAIF TRANSFERS
Any transfers to/from LAIF representing deposits or withdrawals effectuating an investment decision by the City Treasurer shall be completed by Finance Department staff and authorized by the City Manager in accordance with paragraph 2 of Section VII.

IX. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND

BROKER/DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible.

The City’s Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized 163
to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized brokers/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced in Public City investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:

1. Institutions licensed by the state as broker-dealer.

2. Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange.

3. Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank.

4. National or state-chartered banks.

5. The Federal Reserve Bank.

6. Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.

Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.

All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Treasurer with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.

Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained 164
by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

X. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by the California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. The percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.

Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.

An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

x A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. x Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund? x A fee schedule, and when and how it is assessed.
x Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?
XIII. COLLATERALIZATION
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDS). The City shall require any commercial bank or savings and loan association to deposit eligible securities with a City of a depository approved by the State Banking Department to secure any uninsured portion of a Non- Negotiable Certificate of Deposit. The value of eligible securities as defined pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53651, pledged against a Certificate of Deposit shall be equal to 150% of the face value of the CD if the securities are classified as mortgages and 110% of the face value of the CD for all other classes of security.

COLLATERALIZATION OF BANK DEPOSITS. This is the process by which a bank or financial institution pledges securities, or other deposits for the purpose of securing repayment of deposited funds. The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in the California Government Code, Section 53651.

XIV. DELIVERY, SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
DELIVERY-VERSUS-PAYMENT (DVP). All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis.

SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY. To protect against potential losses due to failure of individual securities dealers, and to enhance access to securities, interest payments and maturity proceeds, all cash and securities in the City’s portfolio shall be held in safekeeping in the City’s name by a third-party custodian, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.

The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (a) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and (iii) mutual funds and money market mutual funds since these securities are not deliverable.
170
XV. MAXIMUM MATURITY
To the extent possible, investments shall be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities.

The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has by resolution granted authority to make such an investment.

XVI. RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN

THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt.

The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
x The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
x No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
x The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.
x If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
x Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Treasurer in a timely manner. x If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longerterm portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not 171
needed for current cash flow purposes.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
x The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
x The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. x The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints, and risk tolerances.

XVII. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Treasurer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.

The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.

XVIII. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.

The Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer’s quarterly report. The Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark.
172
XIX. REPORTING

MONTHLY REPORTS
Monthly transaction reports will be submitted by the Treasurer to the City Manager and City Council within 30 days of the end of the reporting period in accordance with California Government Code Section 53607.

Additionally, the Treasurer will submit a monthly investment report to the City Manager and the City Council which provides full disclosure of the City’s investment activities within 45 days after the end of the month. These reports will disclose, at a minimum, the following information about the City’s portfolio:
x An asset listing showing par value, cost, and independent third-party fair market value of each security as of the date of the report, the source of the valuation, type of investment, issuer, maturity date and interest rate.
x Transactions for the period.
x A description of the funds, investments, and programs (including lending programs) managed by contracted parties (i.e., LAIF, investment pools, outside money managers and securities lending agents)

ANNUAL REPORTS
An annual comprehensive report will be presented to the Governing Board.

This report will include comparisons of the City’s return to the market 173
benchmark return, suggest policies and improvements that might enhance the investment program, and will include an investment plan for the coming year.

XX. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT POLICY
The investment policy will be reviewed by the Finance Subcommittee and adopted by resolution at least annually within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year, to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends.

Any recommended modifications or amendments shall be presented by Staff to the City Council for their consideration and adoption. 174

Management should be familiar with the types of improprieties that might occur in their area and be alert to any indication that improper activity, misappropriation, or dishonest activity is or was in existence in his or her operational area.

Upon notification from an employee of suspected fraud, or if management has reason to suspect that a fraud has occurred, he/she will contact their immediate supervisor and the department head. The department head will contact the Assistant City Manager. If 181
the Assistant City Manager position does not exist, the City Manager will designate an alternate position. If the Assistant City Manager is suspected of fraud, the employee should contact the City Manager, and the City Manager will conduct the investigation.

Do not contact the suspected individual to determine facts or demand restitution. Do not discuss the case, facts, suspicions, or allegations with anyone outside the City, unless specifically directed to do so by the Assistant City Manager or City Attorney. Do not discuss the case with anyone inside the City other than employees who have a need to know, such as the Assistant City Manager.
Direct all inquiries from the suspected individual/company or his/her/its representative/attorney to the City Manager.

The reporting employee will refrain from further investigation of the incident, confrontation with the alleged violator, or further discussion of the incident with anyone other than his/her supervisor, the Assistant City Manager/City Manager, and/or law enforcement personnel.

7. INVESTIGATION
183
The Assistant City Manager will carry out an initial review. If the Assistant City Manager is suspected of fraud, the City Manager will conduct the initial review. After this review is completed, a determination of whether the suspected fraud warrants additional investigation by the Assistant City Manager will be made. As warranted, the Assistant City Manager will inform Risk Management of a pending investigation.

A prompt investigation will be conducted to include detailed analyses of available records. The audit investigation requires the full co-operation of the departmental personnel. The Assistant City Manager will proceed as follows, if evidence is uncovered showing possible dishonest or fraudulent activities:
The Assistant City Manager will discuss the findings and recommendations for prevention of future similar occurrences with management and appropriate administrators. Management is responsible for taking appropriate corrective actions to ensure adequate controls exist to prevent reoccurrence of improper actions. The Assistant City Manager will meet with Human Resources to determine if disciplinary actions should be taken.
The Assistant City Manager will notify the City Manager. The Assistant City Manager will notify the Finance Committee as appropriate. If illegal activity appears to have occurred, the Assistant City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, will report the findings to the Sheriff’s Department.

These functions will be assigned to or retained by others. Depending on the circumstances of the particular case, the Assistant City Manager may delegate the risk management function and reporting to external auditors to other employees. Where the Assistant City Manager assigns or delegates a function, the assignment or delegation will be documented in writing.

The Assistant City Manager is available and receptive to receiving relevant information on a confidential basis to the extent allowed by law. Individuals have the right to contact the Assistant City Manager directly whenever a dishonest or fraudulent activity is suspected.

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

LOCAL DEBT POLICY
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Local Debt Policy (this “Policy”) is to establish guidelines and parameters for the effective governance, management and administration of debt and other financing obligations issued by the City and its related entities (such as the Agoura Hills Public Financing Authority or the Successor Agency to the City of Agoura Hills Redevelopment Agency).

As used in this Policy, “City” shall mean the City and/or the City and its related entities, as the context may require. As used in this Policy, “debt” shall be interpreted broadly to mean bonds, notes, certificates of participation, financing leases, or other financing obligations, but the use of such term in this Policy shall be solely for convenience and shall not be interpreted to characterize any such obligation as an indebtedness or debt within the meaning of any statutory or constitutional debt limitation where the substance and terms of the obligation fall within exceptions to such legal limitation.

B. BACKGROUND
The City and its related entities are committed to fiscal sustainability by employing long-term financial planning efforts, maintaining appropriate reserves levels and employing prudent practices in governance, management, budget administration and financial reporting.

Debt levels and their related annual costs are important long-term obligations that must be managed within available resources. A disciplined thoughtful approach to debt management includes policies that provide guidelines for the City and its related entities to manage their collective debt program in line with those resources.

Therefore, the objective of this policy is to provide written guidelines and restrictions concerning the amount and type of debt and other financing obligations issued by the City and its related entities and the ongoing management of the debt portfolio.

This Policy is intended to improve the quality of decisions, assist with the determination of the structure of debt issuance, identify policy goals, and demonstrate a commitment to long-term financial planning, including a multi-year capital plan.

Adherence to a local debt policy signals to rating agencies and the capital markets that a government is well managed and should meet its obligations in a timely manner.

C. CONDITIONS AND PURPOSES OF DEBT ISSUANCE

1. Acceptable Conditions for the Use of Debt
The City believes that prudent amounts of debt can be an equitable and cost-effective means of financing major infrastructure and capital asset and project needs of the City.

Debt will be considered to finance such projects if:
a) The capital asset or project has been, or will be, included in the City’s capital improvement plan or has otherwise been coordinated with the City’s planning goals and objectives.
b) The capital asset or project can be financed with debt not exceeding the term specified in Section E.1. of this Policy, to assure that long-term debt is not issued to finance projects with a short useful life.
c) It is the most cost-effective funding means available to the City, taking into account cash flow needs and other funding alternatives. d) It is fiscally prudent and meets the guidelines of this Policy. Any consideration of debt financing shall consider financial alternatives, including pay-as-you-go funding, proceeds derived from development or redevelopment of existing land and capital assets owned by the City, and use of existing or future cash reserves, or combinations thereof.

2. Acceptable Uses of Debt and Proceeds of Debt
The primary purpose of debt is to finance one of the following:
a) The City will consider financing for the acquisition, substantial refurbishment, replacement, or expansion of capital assets, including land improvements, for the following purposes:
i. Acquisition and or improvement of land, right-of-way or long-term easements.
ii. Acquisition of a capital asset with a useful life of 3 or more years. iii. Construction or reconstruction of a facility.
iv. Although not the primary purpose of the financing effort, project reimbursables that include project planning design, engineering and other preconstruction efforts; project-associated furniture fixtures and equipment; capitalized interest, original issue discount, underwriter’s discount, and other costs of issuance.
b) Refunding, refinancing, or restructuring debt (including without limitation the refinancing or advance funding of City pension obligations), subject to refunding objectives and parameters discussed in Section G.
188
c) In the event of temporary shortfalls in cash flow for City operation costs due to timing of receipt of revenues and the lack of cash on hand to cover the temporary deficit, the City may consider interim or cash flow financing, such as anticipation notes.

In compliance with applicable state law, any such notes shall be payable either (i) not later than the last day of the fiscal year in which it is issued, or (ii) during the fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year in which issued, but in no event later than 15 months after the date of issue, and only if such note is payable only from revenue received or accrued during the fiscal year in which it was issued.

2. Prohibited Uses of Debt and Proceeds of Debt
Prohibited uses of debt include the following:
a) Financing of operating costs, except for anticipation notes satisfying the criteria set forth in Section C.2.c.
b) Debt issuance used to address budgetary deficits, except for funding temporary shortfall as provided in Section C.2.c.
c) Debt issued for which the term of the debt exceeds the term specified in Section E.1. of this Policy.

3. Internal Control Procedures Concerning Use of Proceeds of Debt One of the City’s priorities in the management of debt is to assure that the proceeds of the debt will be directed to the intended use for which the debt has been issued. In furtherance of this priority, the following procedures shall apply:
a) The Director of Finance shall retain, for the applicable period specified in Section H.4. of this Policy, a copy of each annual report filed with the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) pursuant to Section 8855(k) of the California Government Code concerning (1) debt authorized during the applicable reporting period (whether issued or not), (2) debt outstanding during the reporting period, and (3) the use during the reporting period of proceeds of issued debt. b) In connection with the preparation of each annual report to be filed with CDIAC pursuant to Section 8855(k) of the California Government Code, the Director of Finance or the designee of the Director of Finance shall keep a record of the original intended use for which the debt has been issued, and indicate whether the proceeds spent during the applicable one-year reporting period for such annual report comport with the intended use (at the time of original issuance or as modified pursuant to the following sentence). If a change in intended use has been authorized subsequent to the original issuance of the debt, the Director of Finance or the designee of the Director of Finance shall indicate in the record when the change in use was authorized and whether the City Council, City Manager, or another City official has authorized the change in intended use. The Director of Finance shall report apparent deviations from the intended use in debt proceeds to the City Manager for further discussion, and if 189
the City Manager determines appropriate in consultation with legal counsel (which may be bond counsel, if applicable, or the City Attorney), to the City Council. c) If the debt has been issued to finance a capital project and the project timeline or scope of project has changed in a way that all or a portion of the debt proceeds cannot be expended on the original project, the Director of Finance shall consult with the City Manager and legal counsel (which may be bond counsel, if applicable, or the City Attorney) as to available alternatives for the expenditure of the remaining debt proceeds (including prepayment of the debt). After such consultation, the Director of Finance shall seek the direction of the City Council as to an alternative for the expenditure or use of such remaining debt proceeds.

D. TYPES OF FINANCING INSTRUMENTS; AFFORDABILITY AND PLANNING

POLICIES
The City recognizes that there are numerous types of financing structures and funding sources available, each with specific benefits, risks, and costs. All potential funding sources are reviewed by management within the context of this Policy and the overall portfolio to ensure that any financial product or structure is consistent with the City’s objectives. Regardless of what financing structure(s) is utilized, due diligence review must be performed for each transaction, including the quantification of potential risks and benefits, and analysis of the impact on City creditworthiness and debt affordability and capacity.

Prior to the issuance of debt or other financing obligations to finance a project, the City will carefully consider the overall long-term affordability of the proposed debt issuance. The City shall not assume more debt or other financing obligations without conducting an objective analysis of the City’s ability to assume and support additional debt service payments. The City will consider its long-term revenue and expenditure trends, the impact on operational flexibility and the overall debt burden on the taxpayers. The evaluation process shall include a review of generally accepted measures of affordability and will strive to achieve and or maintain debt levels consistent with its current operating and capital needs.

1. General Fund-Supported Debt – General Fund Supported Debt generally include Certificates of Participation (COPs) and Lease Revenue Bonds (LRBs) that are lease obligations that are secured by a lease-back arrangement between the City and another public entity. The general operating revenues of the City pay the lease payments, which are, in turn, used and typically pledged to pay debt service on the bonds or Certificates of Participation.
190
General Fund Supported Debt may also include bonds issued to refund obligations imposed by law, such as judgments (judgment obligation bonds (JOBs)) or unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities for pension plans (pension obligation bonds (POBs)).

Without limiting the foregoing, the City also may enter into operating leases and lease-purchase agreements for equipment or other capital assets meeting the criteria of this Policy on an as-needed basis.

Payments to be made under valid leases are payable only in the year in which use and occupancy of the leased property is available, and lease payments may not be accelerated as a default remedy. Lease financing requires the fair market rental value of the leased property to be equal to or greater than the required debt service or lease payment schedule. The lessee (City) is obligated to include in its Annual Budget and appropriate the rental payments that are due and payable during each fiscal year the lessee has use of the leased property.

These obligations do not constitute indebtedness under the state constitutional debt limitation and, therefore, are not subject to voter approval.

The City should strive to maintain its net General Fund-backed annual debt service at or less than 10% of General Fund annually budgeted revenue; and in no case should they exceed 15%. Future direct debt will not exceed 2% of assessed valuation. This ratio is defined as the City’s annual debt service requirements on General Fund Supported Debt (including, but not limited to, COPs, LRBs, JOBs, and POBs) compared to total annual General Fund Revenues net of interfund transfers.

2. Revenue Bonds – Long-term obligations payable solely from specific special fund sources, in general, are not subject to a debt limitation. Examples of such longterm obligations include those which are payable from a special fund consisting of restricted revenues or user fees (Enterprise Revenues) and revenues derived from the system of which the project being funded is a part.

In determining the affordability of proposed revenue bonds, the City will perform an analysis comparing projected annual net revenues (exclusive of depreciation which is a non-cash related expense) to estimated annual debt service. The City should strive to maintain an annual coverage ratio of 110% (or such higher coverage ratio included in the City’s existing financing documents), using historical and/or projected net revenues to cover annual debt service for bonds. To the extent necessary, the City shall undertake proceedings for a rate increase to cover both operations and debt service costs, and create debt service reserve funds to maintain the required coverage ratio.

3. Special Districts Financing – The City’s special districts primarily consist of Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) and 1913/1915 Act Assessment Districts 191
(Assessment Districts). The City will consider requests for special district formation and debt issuance when such requests address a public need or provide a public benefit. Each application will be considered on a case by case basis, and the Finance Department may not recommend a financing if it is determined that the financing could be detrimental to the debt position or the best interests of the City.

4. General Obligation Bonds – Notwithstanding their name, General Obligation Bonds are not general obligations of the City, but instead they are payable from and secured by a dedicated, voter-approved property tax override rate (i.e., a property tax in excess of the 1% basic ad valorem property tax rate which has received the approving two-thirds vote of the City’s electorate). While the dedicated revenue stream to repay the debt makes General Obligation Bonds an attractive option, additional considerations for this financing mechanism include the time and expense of an election, the possibility that the electorate will not approve the ballot measure, and the legal bonding capacity limit (for general law cities, 3.75% of the assessed value of all taxable property within the City).

5. Tax Increment Financing – Tax Increment Financing is payable from and secured bya financing method whereby a portion of ad valorem property taxes (commonly called “tax increment”) is allocated to a successor agency to redevelopment agency (Successor Agency), an enhanced infrastructure financing district (EIFD), a community revitalization and investment authority (CRIA), or an infrastructure and revitalization financing district (IRFD), and the entity is permitted to incur debt payable from and secured by the tax increment revenues. While tax increment debt for redevelopment agencies and Successor Agencies is entitled to the benefits of Article XVI, Section 16, of the California Constitution, no similar provision exists for EIFDs, CRIAs or IRFDs at the time of adoption of this Policy. Therefore, when considering EIFD CRIA or IRFD financing, or other types of tax increment financing that may be permitted by law in the future, debt limit concerns should be analyzed with respect to the proposed structure and taken into account in determining the practical viability of the proposed financing.

6. Conduit Debt – Conduit financing provides for the issuance of securities by a government agency to finance a project of a third party, such as a non-profit organization or other private entity. The City may sponsor conduit financings for those activities that have a general public purpose and are consistent with the City’s overall service and policy objectives. Unless a compelling public policy rationale exists, such conduit financings will not in any way pledge the City’s faith and credit.

E. STRUCTURE OF DEBT
192

1. Term of Debt –The term of a bond issue is not-to-exceed the economic life of the facilities or projects to be financed, unless specific circumstances exist that would mitigate the extension of time to repay the debt and it would not cause the City to violate any covenants to maintain the tax-exempt status of such debt, if applicable.

2. Rapidity of Debt Payment; Level Payment – To the extent practical, bonds will be amortized on a level repayment basis, and revenue bonds will be amortized on a level repayment basis considering the forecasted available pledged revenues to achieve the lowest rates possible. Bond repayments should not increase on an annual basis in excess of 2% without a dedicated and supporting revenue funding stream.

Accelerated repayment schedules reduce debt burden faster and reduce total borrowing costs. The Finance Department will amortize debt through the most financially advantageous debt structure and to the extent possible, match the City’s projected cash flow to the anticipated debt service payments. “Backloading” of debt service will be considered only when one or more of the following occur:
a) Natural disasters or extraordinary or unanticipated external factors make payments on the debt in early years prohibitive.
b) The benefits derived from the debt issuance can clearly be demonstrated to be greater in the future than in the present.
c) Such structuring is beneficial to the City’s aggregate overall debt payment schedule or achieves measurable interest savings.
d) Such structuring will allow debt service to more closely match projected revenues, whether due to lower project revenues during the early years of the project’s operation, inflation escalators in the enterprise user rates, or other quantifiable reasons.

3. Serial Bonds, Term Bonds, and Capital Appreciation Bonds – For each issuance, the City will select serial bonds or term bonds, or both. On the occasions where circumstances warrant, Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs) may be used. The decision to use term, serial, or CAB bonds is driven based on market conditions.

4. Reserve Funds – To the extent a reserve fund provides an economic benefit that offsets the cost of funding the reserve fund, as determined by the Director of Finance in consultation with the City’s municipal advisor and, if applicable, the underwriter for the bonds, the City may fund a reserve fund for the proposed bonds (in cash or through the purchase of a debt service reserve surety bond or insurance policy), up to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law or regulation. Typically, this amount is equal to the least of (i) maximum annual debt service on the bonds, (ii) 10% of the principal amount of the bonds (or 10% of the sale proceeds of the bonds, within the meaning of Section 148 of the federal Internal Revenue Code), or (iii) 125% of average annual debt service on the bonds.
193
F. USE OF ALTERNATIVE DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Alternative debt instruments and financing structures sometimes can provide a lower cost of borrowing in the short run, but may involve greater medium-term or long-term risk. Due diligence review must be performed for each transaction, including the quantification of potential risks and benefits, analysis of the impact on City creditworthiness and debt affordability and capacity, and an evaluation of the ability of the City to withstand the medium-term or long-term risk attendant to alternative debt instruments, including the feasibility of exit strategies.

1. Variable Rate Debt
Variable rate debt affords the City the potential to achieve a lower cost debt depending on market conditions. However, the City will seek to limit the use of variable-rate debt due to the potential risks of such instruments. a) Purpose
The City shall consider the use of variable rate debt for the purposes of:
i. Reducing the costs of debt issues.
ii. Increasing flexibility for accelerating principal repayment and amortization.
iii. Enhancing the management of assets and liabilities (matching short-term “priced debt” with the City’s short-term investments).
b) Considerations and Limitations on Variable-Rate Debt The City may consider the use of all alternative structures and modes of variable rate debt to the extent permissible under State law and will make determinations among different types of modes of variable rate debt based on cost, benefit, and risk factors.

The Director of Finance shall consider the following factors in considering whether to utilize variable rate debt:
i. Any variable rate debt should not exceed 20% of total City General Fund supported debt.
ii. Any variable rate debt should be fully hedged by expected future capital fund reserves or unrestricted General Fund reserve levels. iii. Whether interest cost and market conditions (including the shape of the yield curves and relative value considerations) are unfavorable for issuing fixed rate debt.
iv. The likelihood of projected debt service savings when comparing the cost of fixed rate bonds.
v. Costs, implementation and administration are quantified and considered.
194
vi. Cost and availability of liquidity facilities (lines of credit necessary for variable rate debt obligations and commercial paper in the event that the bonds are not successfully remarketed) are quantified and considered. vii. Whether the ability to convert debt to another mode (daily, monthly, fixed) or redeem at par at any time is permitted.
viii. Cost and availability of derivative products to hedge interest rate risk. ix. The findings of a thorough risk management assessment. c) Risk Management
Any issuance of variable rate debt shall require a rigorous risk assessment, including, but not limited to factors discussed in this section. Variable rate debt subjects the City to additional financial risks (relative to fixed rate bonds), including interest rate risk, tax risk, and certain risks related to providing liquidity for certain types of variable rate debt.

The City will properly manage the risks as follows:
i. Interest Rate Risk and Tax Risk – The risk that market interest rates increase on variable-rate debt because of market conditions, changes in taxation of municipal bond interest, or reductions in tax rates. Mitigation – Limit total variable rate exposure per the defined limits, match the variable rate liabilities with short term assets, and/or purchase appropriate derivative products to hedge against the risk (see also Section F.2 below).
ii. Liquidity/Remarketing Risk – The risk that holders of variable rate bonds exercise their “put” option, tender their bonds, and the bonds cannot be remarketed requiring the bond liquidity facility provider to repurchase the bonds. This will result in the City paying a higher rate of interest to the facility provider and the potential rapid amortization of the repurchased bonds. Mitigation - Limit total direct variablerate exposure. Seek liquidity facilities which allow for longer (5-10 years) amortization of any draws on the facility. Endeavor to secure credit support facilities that result in bond ratings of the highest short-term ratings and long-term ratings not less than AA.

If the City’s bonds are downgraded below these levels (or such other rating levels as provided in the applicable financing documents) as a result of the facility provider’s ratings, a replacement provider shall be sought.
iii. Liquidity/Rollover Risk – The risk that arises due to the shorter term of most liquidity provider agreements (1-5 years) relative to the longer-term amortization schedule of the City’s variable-rate bonds. Liquidity and rollover risk includes the following risks: (1) the City may incur higher renewal fees when renewal agreements are negotiated, and (2) the liquidity bank market may constrict such that it is difficult to secure third party liquidity at any interest rate. Mitigation – Negotiate longer terms on provider contracts to minimize the number of rollovers.

G. REFUNDING GUIDELINES
195
The Director of Finance shall monitor at least annually all outstanding City debt obligations for potential refinancing opportunities. The City will consider refinancing of outstanding debt to achieve annual savings or to refinance a bullet payment or spike in debt service. Except for instances in which a bullet payment or spike in debt service is being refinanced, absent a compelling economic reason or financial benefit to the City, any refinancing should not result in an increase to the weighted average life of the refinanced debt.

Except for instances in which a bullet payment or spike in debt service is being refinanced, the City will generally seek to achieve debt service savings which, on a net present value basis, are at least 3% of the debt being refinanced. The net present value assessment shall factor in all costs, including issuance, escrow, and foregone interest earnings of any contributed funds on hand. Any potential refinancing shall additionally consider whether an alternative refinancing opportunity with higher savings is reasonably expected in the future. Refundings which produce a net present value savings of less than 3% will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a refunding of former Redevelopment Agency or Successor Agency bonds shall be determined based on the requirements of Health and Safety Code Section 34177.5.

G. MARKET COMMUNICATION, ADMINISTRATION, AND REPORTING

1. Rating Agency Relations and Annual or Ongoing Surveillance – The Director of Finance shall be responsible for maintaining the City’s relationships with the major rating agencies that rate the City’s bond issues (such as S&P Global Ratings, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investor’s Service.). These agencies’ rating criteria often change, and the City cannot control the decisions made by any rating agency. However, for each debt issue that the City will seek a rating assignment, the City will strive to obtain and maintain the highest possible underlying or uninsured rating consistent with its current operating and capital needs. In addition to general communication, the Director of Finance shall:
a) Ensure the rating agencies are provided updated financial statements of the City as they become publically available.
b) Communicate with credit analysts at each agency at least once each year, or as may be requested by the agencies.
c) Prior to each proposed new debt issuance, schedule meetings or conference calls with agency analysts and provide a thorough update on the City’s financial position, including the impacts of the proposed debt issuance.

2. Council Communication – The Director of Finance should report feedback from rating agencies, when and if available, regarding the City’s financial strengths and weaknesses and areas of concern relating to weaknesses as they pertain to maintaining the City’s existing credit ratings.
196

3. Continuing Disclosure Compliance – The City shall remain in compliance with its Municipal Securities Post-Issuance Disclosure Policy (the “Post-Issuance Disclosure Policy”), as amended from time to time, and Rule 15c2-12, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the Post-Issuance Disclosure Policy, the Director of Finance is responsible to file or caused to be filed (to the extent required by the applicable continuing disclosure undertaking) its annual financial statements and other financial and operating data for the benefit of its bondholders within nine months of the close of the fiscal year, or by such other annual deadline required in any continuing disclosure agreement or certificate for any debt issue. Pursuant to the Post-Issuance Disclosure Policy, the Director of Finance shall also file or cause to be filed such notices of reportable events as required by each continuing disclosure undertaking (“Listed Event Notices”) entered into in furtherance of Rule 15c2-12.

For any debt proposed to be issued by the City on or after February 27, 2019 that involves a continuing disclosure undertaking, the Director of Finance shall create, maintain and continuously update during the term of such debt a Financial Obligations List (as defined in the Post-Issuance Disclosure Policy) to facilitate compliance with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 adopted by the SEC in 2018 and the filing, if necessary, of a Listed Event Notice pursuant to the applicable continuing disclosure undertaking.

The City shall maintain a log or file evidencing that all continuing disclosure filings have been made promptly.

4. Debt Issue Record-Keeping – A copy of all debt-related records shall be retained at the City’s offices. At minimum, these records shall include all official statements, bond legal documents/transcripts, resolutions, trustee statements, leases, and title reports for each City financing (to the extent available).

Such records shall be retained while any bonds of an issue are outstanding and during the six-year period following the final maturity or redemption of the bond issue or, if later, while any bonds that refund bonds of that original issue are outstanding and for the six-year period following the final maturity or redemption date of the latest refunding bond issue.

Arbitrage Rebate – The use of bond proceeds and their investments must be monitored to ensure compliance with all arbitrage rebate requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and related Internal Revenue Service regulations, in keeping with the covenants of the City and/or related entity in the tax certificate for any federally taxexempt financing. The Director of Finance shall ensure that all bond proceeds and investments are tracked in a manner which facilitates accurate calculation; and, if a rebate payment is due, such payment is made in a timely manner. 197
I. CREDIT RATINGS
The City will consider published ratings agency guidelines regarding best financial practices and guidelines for structuring its capital funding and debt strategies to maintain the highest possible credit ratings consistent with its current operating and capital needs.

J. SB 1029 COMPLIANCE
Senate Bill 1029, signed by the State Governor on September 12, 2016, and enacted as Chapter 307, Statutes of 2016, requires issuers to adopt debt policies addressing each of the five items below:
i. The purposes for which the debt proceeds may be used.

Section C.1 (Acceptable Conditions for the Use of Debt), Section C.2 (Acceptable Uses of Debt and Proceeds of Debt), and Section C.3 (Prohibited Use of Debt and Proceeds of Debt) address the purposes for which debt proceeds may be used. ii. The types of debt that may be issued.

Section C.2 (Acceptable Uses of Debt and Proceeds of Debt), Section D (Types of Financing Instruments; Affordable and Planning Policies), Section E (Structure of Debt) and Section F (Use of Alternative Debt Instruments) provide information regarding the types of debt that may be issued.
iii. The relationship of the debt to, and integration with, the issuer's capital improvement program or budget, if applicable.

Section C.1 (Acceptable Conditions for the Use of Debt) provides information regarding the relationship between the City's debt and Capital Improvement Program. Section D (Types of Financing Instruments; Affordability and Planning Policies) provides information regarding the relationship between certain types of debt and the City’s budget.
iv. Policy goals related to the issuer's planning goals and objectives.

As described in Section B (Background), Section D (Types of Financing; Affordability and Planning Policies) and other sections, this Policy has been adopted to assist with the City’s goal of maintaining fiscal sustainability and financial prudence. v. The internal control procedures that the issuer has implemented, or will implement, to ensure that the proceeds of the proposed debt issuance will be directed to the intended use.

Section C.4 (Internal Control Procedures Concerning Use of Proceeds of Debt) provides information regarding the City's internal control procedures designed to ensure that the proceeds of its debt issues are spent as intended. 198

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR POLICY

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide for the rotation of independent auditors who perform the annual examination of the City’s financial statements and render an opinion thereon.

POLICY
It shall be the policy of the City Council that independent auditors will serve initially for a period of two years. Provided that services are satisfactory to staff and the City Council, at the conclusion of the initial two-year period, staff will be authorized to negotiate an additional three-year term and revised contract, subject to City Council approval.

Following the first five-year period of utilizing any audit firm, the City shall consider other audit firms, as well as the current firm. However, if the current firm is selected, a mandatory rotation of the Partner and Manager shall take place. Following ten years of utilizing any audit firm, a mandatory rotation of firms will take place. Pursuant to Government Code Section 12410.6(b), in no event shall the City employ a public accounting firm to provide audit services to the City if the lead audit partner or coordinating audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit, or the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit, has performed audit services for the City for six consecutive fiscal years, unless the Controller waives this requirement upon making the finding that another eligible public accounting firm is not available to perform the audit.

PROCEDURE

1. The Request for Proposal process shall be used in the evaluation of prospective audit firms.

2. Following the conclusion of the initial two-year term with an auditor, a report to the City Council will be prepared, discussing staff’s evaluation of the audit services for the period then ended, and, if staff’s evaluation of service levels provided is satisfactory, contract terms for the upcoming three-year period shall be presented to the City Council.
199

3. Prior to the expiration of a five-year term with an auditor, staff will solicit proposals from at least three firms (one may be the current firm) and will evaluate such proposals. Members of the Finance Committee will be invited to interview the firms. A report to the City Council will be prepared recommending the selection of an audit firm for a period of two years with a provision to extend for three additional years, along with a proposed contract for approval.

4. Prior to the expiration of a ten-year term with an audit firm, staff will solicit proposals from at least three firms (not including the current firm) and will evaluate such proposals. A report to the City Council will be prepared recommending the selection of an audit firm for a period of two years with a provision to extend for three additional years.

5. Audit contracts shall require that auditors conform to the independence standard promulgated in the General Accounting Office’s Government Audit Standards, even for audit engagements that are not otherwise subject to generally accepted government auditing standards.

6. All audits shall be made by a certified public accountant or public accountant licensed by and in good standing with the California Board of Accountancy. 200

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

TAX-ADVANTAGED BONDS POST-ISSUANCE COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURESAND PROTOCOL

PURPOSE

1. BACKGROUND AND TRAINING
Bonds that receive preferential tax treatment under federal law are commonly referred to by the Internal Revenue Service as "tax-advantaged bonds". These bonds are issued by or on behalf of state and local governments, such as the City of Agoura Hills (and its related public entities, such as the Agoura Hills Financing Authority). These bonds are subject to federal tax requirements both at the time the bonds are issued and for as long as they remain outstanding. An issuer's (or other party's) failure to comply with any applicable federal tax requirement with respect to these bonds jeopardizes their preferential tax treatment.

While compliance with many federal tax requirements occurs at closing, other federal tax requirements require on-going monitoring after the issuance of the bonds.

These requirements include filing a Form 8038 information return (8038-G for governmental tax-exempt bonds, 8038-GC for governmental tax-exempt bonds with an issue price of less than $100,000, and 8038 for tax-exempt private activity bonds), and the issuer having reasonable expectations of on-going, post-issuance compliance.

Post-issuance federal tax requirements generally fall into two categories: (1) the use of proceeds and the use of bond-financed property; and (2) arbitrage yield restriction on investments and rebate. Use requirements require monitoring of the various direct and indirect uses of bond-financed property over the life of the bonds and calculations of the percentage of nonqualified uses. Arbitrage requirements also require monitoring over the life of the bonds to determine whether both the yield on investments acquired with bond proceeds are properly restricted and whether the City must file a Form 8038-T and pay a rebate or a yield reduction payment.

Post-issuance compliance procedures will help the City monitor compliance as long as the bonds remain outstanding and improve the City's ability to identify noncompliance and prevent violations from occurring, or timely correct identified violations, to ensure the continued tax-advantaged status of the bonds.

The designated officer or employee (described in Section 2.A, below) and anyone assigned particular responsibilities in connection with the procedures described below must read the certificate regarding compliance with certain tax matters 202
(commonly referred to as the "tax certificate") that is executed by the City (or a related public entity) in connection with each bond issue for a more complete explanation of the matters described in these Procedures. In addition, the designated officer or employee and anyone assigned particular responsibilities should discuss these matters with bond counsel.

2. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
A. Responsible Officers or Employees. The City Manager will designate the officer (e.g., the Finance Director) who will be responsible for compliance with each of the procedures set forth below. The City Manager may designate other employees who will also be responsible for such compliance. The City Manager will notify the current holder of that office, or the employee, of the responsibilities and provide that person a copy of these Procedures and any necessary training. The holder of the office, or the employee, may in turn designate other officers or employees and assign to them particular responsibilities for certain of these Procedures. Qualified consultants may also assist in conducting the compliance procedures. The City Manager will be notified in writing of all such designations and assignments under this Section or under the following Section 2.B.

B. Reassignment of Responsibilities. Upon the transition of a designated officer or employee, the City Manager will advise the new officer or employee of the responsibilities under these procedures. If officer or employee positions are restructured or eliminated, the City Manager, or his or her designee, will reassign responsibilities as necessary to ensure that all of the procedures listed below have been appropriately assigned.

C. Periodic Reviews. The designated officer or employee will conduct periodic reviews of compliance with these procedures and with the terms of any existing tax certificate relating to outstanding tax-advantaged bonds to determine whether any violations have occurred. Such periodic reviews will occur at least once every six months.

In the event that violations have occurred, bond counsel will be contacted immediately so that violations can be remedied through the remedial actions set forth in Section

1.141-12 of the Treasury Regulations, the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program described in IRS Notice 2008-31, or further guidance as may be provided by the IRS.

Where necessary, violations will be reported to the IRS by submitting a VCAP request within 90 days after identification of the violation.

D. Changes or Modifications to Bond Terms. If any change or modification to the terms of tax-advantaged bonds is contemplated, the designated officer or employee will immediately contact bond counsel.
203
E. Recordkeeping. For each issue of tax-advantaged bonds, the designated officer or employee will:
(1) maintain a copy of the transcript of the documents relating to the bonds.
(2) maintain records of all facilities and other costs (e.g., issuance costs, credit enhancement fees, and capitalized interest) and uses (e.g., deposits to project funds and reserve funds) for which bond proceeds were spent or used (in the case of a qualified private activity bond, the City will assure that any conduit borrower will be responsible for providing the City with this information); (3) maintain records of investments and expenditures of bond proceeds, rebate exception analyses, rebate calculations, Forms 8038-T, and rebate and yield reduction payments, and any other records relevant to compliance with arbitrage restrictions (in the case of a qualified private activity bond, the City will assure that the borrower will be responsible for providing the City with this information in the event it is not otherwise available to the City);
(4) maintain all records described in these Procedures while any bonds of the issue are outstanding and during the three-year period (or such longer period as applicable under the City’s Local Debt Policy, as amended from time to time) following the final maturity or redemption of the bond issue or, if later, while any bonds that refund bonds of that original issue are outstanding and for the three year period (or such longer period as applicable under the City’s Local Debt Policy, as amended from time to time) following the final maturity or redemption date of the latest refunding bond issue; and (5) maintain copies of all of the following contracts or arrangements with non-governmental persons or organizations or with the federal government: (a) the sale of any bond-financed facility; (b) the lease of any bond-financed facility; (c) management or service contracts relating to a bond-financed facility; (d) research contracts involving research undertaken in a bond-financed facility; and (e) any other contracts involving "special legal entitlements" (such as naming rights or exclusive provider arrangements) with respect to a bond-financed facility.

3. IRS INFORMATION RETURN FILING
In cooperation with bond counsel, the designated officer or employee will ensure that the Form 8038-G (or other applicable Form 8038) is timely filed (on or before the 15th day of the second calendar month after the end of the calendar quarter in which the bonds were issued) with respect to each tax-advantaged bond issue, including any required schedules and attachments.
204

4. INVESTMENT AND EXPENDITURE OF BOND PROCEEDS AND REBATE A. Track Investments and Expenditures. The designated officer or employee will ensure the existence of an established accounting procedure for tracking the investment and the timely expenditures of bond proceeds, including investment earnings.

B. Reimbursement. Upon issuance of the bonds, the designated officer or employee will allocate bond proceeds to reimbursement of prior expenditures (assuming, if required, an appropriate declaration of intent to reimburse has been adopted). In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the designated officer or employee may rely on information provided by the conduit borrower.

C. Final Allocations. The designated officer or employee will ensure that a final allocation of bond proceeds (including investment earnings) to qualifying expenditures is made if bond proceeds are to be allocated to project expenditures on a basis other than "direct tracing" (direct tracing means treating the bond proceeds as spent as shown in the accounting records for bond draws and project expenditures).

This allocation must be made within 18 months after the later of the date the expenditure was made or the date the project was placed in service, but not later than the earlier of five years and 60 days after the issuance date of the bonds or 60 days after the bond issue is retired. In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the designated officer or employee may rely on information provided by the conduit borrower, which will be required to provide such information on a timely basis.

D. Timely Expenditure of Bond Proceeds. Mindful of the expectations regarding the timing of the expenditures of bond proceeds set forth in the tax certificate, the designated officer or employee will monitor expenditures of bond proceeds, including investment earnings, against issuance date expectations for satisfaction of three-year (or five-year) temporary period from yield restriction on investment of bond proceeds, and to assure that proceeds and investment earnings are allocated to expenditures for the public improvements or other qualified expenditures described in the tax certificate. In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the conduit borrower will be required to comply with this section.

E. Yield. The designated officer or employee will make note of the "yield" of the bond issue, as shown on the applicable Form 8038G, or other applicable Form 8038.

F. Temporary Periods and Yield Restriction. The designated officer or employee will review the tax certificate to determine the "temporary periods" for the bond issue, during which periods various categories of gross proceeds of the bond issue may be invested without restriction as to yield.
205
G. Investment of Proceeds and Yield Restriction. The designated officer or employee will ensure that bond proceeds are not invested in investments with a yield above the bond yield following the end of the applicable temporary period unless yield reduction payments are permitted to be made.

H. Bidding Requirements. If purchasing investments other than publicly traded securities for immediate delivery (for example, a guaranteed investment contract or certificates of deposit), the designated officer or employee will consult with bond counsel as to whether the investments of bond proceeds satisfy IRS regulatory safe harbors for establishing fair market value (e.g., through the use of bidding procedures), and maintain records to demonstrate satisfaction of such safe harbors. In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the conduit borrower will be required to comply with this section.

I. Credit Enhancement and Hedging Transactions. The designated officer or employee will consult with bond counsel before engaging in credit enhancement or hedging transactions with respect to a bond issue. The designated officer or employee will maintain copies of all contracts and certificates relating to credit enhancement and hedging transactions.

J. Debt Service Fund. While bonds of an issue, the designated officer or employee will ensure that the debt service fund meets the requirements of a "bona fide debt service fund," i.e., one used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with debt service that is depleted at least once each bond year, except for a reasonable carryover amount not to exceed the greater of (i) the investment earnings on the fund for the immediately preceding bond year; or (ii) one-twelfth of the debt service on the bond issue for the immediately preceding bond year. To the extent that a debt service fund qualifies as a bona fide debt service fund for a given bond year, the investment of amounts held in that fund is not subject to yield restriction for that year and is generally not subject to rebate. The designated officer or employee will consult with bond counsel before creating separate additional funds that are expected to be used to pay debt service on the bonds. In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the City will assure that the conduit borrower is required to comply with this section.

K. Reserve Fund. The designated officer or employee will ensure that amounts invested without yield restriction in any reasonably required reserve fund do not exceed the least of (each determined at the time of issuance of the bonds): (i) ten percent of the stated principal amount of the bonds (or the sale proceeds of the bond issue if the bond issue has original issue discount or original issue premium that exceeds two percent of the stated principal of the bond issue plus, in the case of premium, reasonable underwriter's compensation); (ii) maximum annual debt service on the bond issue; or (iii) 125 percent of average annual debt service on the bond issue. The 206
designated officer or employee will consult with bond counsel before creating any separate additional funds or accounts that will secure or provide payments of debt service on the bonds.

L. Gifts for Bond-Financed Projects. Before beginning a campaign that may result in gifts that will be restricted for use relating to a bond-financed facility (or, in the absence of such a campaign, upon the receipt of such restricted gifts), the designated officer or employee will consult with bond counsel to determine whether replacement proceeds may result.

M. Performance of Rebate Calculations. Subject to the small issuer exception and the exceptions described in the tax certificate, investment earnings on bond proceeds at a yield in excess of the bond yield generally must be rebated to the United States. The designated officer or employee will ensure that rebate calculations will be timely performed and payment of rebate amounts, if any, will be timely made. Rebate payments are generally due 60 days after the fifth anniversary of the issue date of the bond issue, then in succeeding installments every five years. The final rebate payment is due 60 days after retirement (or early redemption) of the last bond of the issue. In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the City will assure that the conduit borrower is required to comply with this section.

N. Rebate Consultant. The designated officer or employee will engage the services of an experienced rebate consultant to undertake rebate calculations described above for each bond issue.

O. Spending Exceptions. If the six-month, 18-month, or 24-month spending exceptions from the rebate requirement apply to the bond issue, the designated officer or employee will ensure that the spending of bond proceeds is monitored prior to semiannual spending dates for the applicable exception.

P. Follow-up on Rebate. After all bond proceeds have been spent, the designated officer or employee will ensure compliance with rebate requirements for any reserve fund and any debt service fund that is not exempt from the rebate requirement. In the case of qualified private activity bonds, the City will assure that the conduit borrower is required to comply with this section.

Q. Filing of 8038-T. The designated officer or employee will make rebate and yield reduction payments timely and file a Form 8038-T with each payment.

5. PRIVATE BUSINESS USE
A. Private Business Use. Use of bond proceeds or bond-financed property by a nongovernmental person (including the federal government) in furtherance of a 207
trade or business activity is considered private business use. Any activity carried on by an entity (other than a governmental unit) is treated as a trade or business. Indirect uses of bond proceeds may also be considered private business use. For example, bond proceeds used to finance a facility are treated as used for a private business use if the facility is sold or leased to a nongovernmental entity. The designated officer or employee will analyze any private business use of bond-financed facilities and, for each issue of bonds, determine whether there is or may in the future be more than five percent private business use. If so, the designated officer or employee will immediately contact bond counsel to discuss the private business use limit, including whether the alternative ten percent limit is applicable.

B. Management and Service Contracts. Management or service contracts between governmental entities and nongovernmental persons (private parties) under which the nongovernmental person receives compensation or revenue for services provided with respect to a bond-financed facility may result in private business use.

Before entering into any new management agreement or service agreement relating to bond-financed facilities, the designated officer or employee will immediately contact bond counsel to review any such agreement to determine whether it may result in private business use.

C. Special Legal Entitlements. Before entering into any agreement providing special legal entitlements relating to a bond-financing facility, such as naming rights or an exclusive provider agreement, the designated officer or employee will immediately contact bond counsel to review such agreement to determine whether it may result in private business use.

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES POST-ISSUANCE DISCLOSURE POLICY
A. Purpose
The City of Agoura Hills, California (the “City”) is committed to providing timely and consistent dissemination of financial information in accordance with the continuing disclosure undertakings of the City and its related entities, entered into in furtherance of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule” or “SEC Rule 15c2-12”). As used herein, the term “City” may include the City and/or its related entities, as the context may require.

This policy affirms the City’s commitment to post-issuance disclosure. The goal is to establish and maintain guidelines for presenting related financial reports and events to interested third parties, financial institutions and the general public in compliance with the Rule and the City’s continuing disclosure undertakings.

B. Scope
This policy covers all City employees and officials of the City. It covers disclosure documents filed with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board the “MSRB”).

C. Responsibility of the Disclosure Working Group
The City has established a Disclosure Working Group (“DWG”) consisting of the City’s City Manager, Director of Finance, Finance Manager and Treasurer and others from the Finance Department as designated by the Director of Finance. Annually in connection with its continuing disclosure filings required by the continuing disclosure undertakings of the City and its related entities, the DWG will systematically review filings, reports and other public statements to determine whether any updating or correcting of information is appropriate. The DWG will review and recommend updates to the City Council, if necessary, to this disclosure policy. Finally, the DWG will react quickly to developments and events that affect the City and notify its dissemination agent, when appropriate.

The City’s primary spokesperson related to the City’s financial information, debt and financings, and other financial reports and events is the City’s City Manager. Others within the City may, from time to time, be designated by the City Manager as 209
spokespersons on behalf of the City and respond to specific inquiries. It is essential that the DWG be fully apprised of all material developments of the City in order to evaluate, discuss those events and determine the appropriateness and timing for release.

The City or its designated agent will provide continuing disclosure documents and related information to the MSRB’s EMMA System http://dataport.emma.msrb.org. The continuing disclosure documents, which include annual financial statements, operating data of the City and its related entity issuers and Event Notices (as defined in Section E below), will be posted to the EMMA website by the City’s Disclosure Dissemination Agent, Digital Assurance Certification, LLC (“DAC”), or its successor, upon the approval of the City’s Director of Finance.

D. Annual Reporting Date Requirements
The Director of Finance shall review the continuing disclosure undertaking (to the extent not otherwise exempt therefrom under the Rule) for each separate issue of the outstanding municipal securities of the City or its related entities and identify the following:
(i) the date by which the Annual Report must be filed;
(ii) the contents that need to be included in the Annual Report; (iii) the Event Notices that must be filed; and
(iv) when Event Notices are required to be filed.

For a current list of the City’s debt issues, including those which are not subject to the Rule, please refer to the long-term debt notes found in the City’s most current Audited Financial Statements.

E. Event Notice Requirements
Unless otherwise specified, the City’s Director of Finance will be responsible for monitoring the occurrence of the events specified in this Section E, determining (if necessary) their materiality, and notifying the Dissemination Agent of the occurrence of a reportable event for further filing of a notice (each, an “Event Notice”) with the MSRB.
i. Event Notices for Debt Issued on or after February 27, 2019.

For any debt issues (subject to SEC Rule 15c2-12) issued on or after February 27, 2019, notice of the following events would need to be provided to the City’s Disclosure Dissemination Agent, for further filing with the MSRB, within ten (10) business days of their occurrence.
210
• Any of the 14 types of events listed in Section E.2. below. • Incurrence of a financial obligation of the obligated person (i.e., City or a related entity of the City), if material, or agreement to covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights or other similar terms of a financial obligation, any of which affect the security holders, if material.
• Default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms, or other similar events under the terms of the financial obligation of the obligated person (i.e., City or a related entity of the City), any of which reflect financial difficulties.

For purposes of the foregoing, “financial obligation” means (i) a debt obligation (including a lease entered into as a vehicle to borrow money, but excluding ordinary financial and operating liabilities incurred in the normal course of business), (ii) a derivative instrument entered into in connection with, or pledged as security or a source of payment for, an existing or planned debt obligation; or (iii) a guarantee of (i) or (ii); provided, the term “financial obligations” shall not include (a) municipal securities as to which a final official statement has been posted on the EMMA website in accordance with the Rule, and (b) monetary obligations resulting from a judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceeding.

In connection with the events described in the last two bullet points above (which relate to amendments to the Rule adopted by the SEC in 2018), for any new continuing disclosure undertaking executed on or after February 27, 2019 with respect to a debt issue (the “Debt”), the Director of Finance shall, before the Debt issuance date, review the City’s financial records and create a list (each, a “Financial Obligations List”) of the existing financial obligations (as such term is defined in the Rule) at such time of the City and its related entities. The Financial Obligations List will generally include those financial obligations identified in the long-term debt notes (and which remain outstanding at the time) found in the City’s most current Audited Financial Statements, as well as any additional financial obligations incurred since the date of such Audited Financial Statements. The Financial Obligations list shall be updated continuously during the term of such Debt, and in connection with each update, the Director of Finance shall make the determination described in the following paragraph.

Whenever the City prepares to enter into a new financial obligation or modify the terms of an existing financial obligation, the Director of Finance shall determine whether the incurrence of such financial obligation or modification of terms would require an Event Notice under any continuing disclosure undertaking for Debt issued on or after February 27, 2019. If a determination is made that an Event Notice would be required, the Director of Finance, in consultation with legal counsel, shall cause the Event Notice to be filed on a timely basis.
211
ii. Event Notices for Debt Issued before February 27, 2019 and on or after December 1, 2010.

For any debt issues (subject to SEC Rule 15c2-12) issued before February 27, 2019 and on or after December 1, 2010, notice of the following events would need to be provided to the City’s Disclosure Dissemination Agent, for further filing with the MSRB:, within ten (10) business days of their occurrence. • Principal and interest payment delinquencies
• Non-payment related defaults, if material
• Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulty • Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulty • Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform • Adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the IRS of proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701 TEB) or other material notices or determinations with respect to the tax status of the security or other material events affecting the tax status of the security • Modifications to rights of security holders, if material • Bond calls, if material, and tender offers
• Defeasances
• Release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the securities, if material

• The consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving an obligated person or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the obligated person, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its terms, if material • Appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material.

3. Event Notices for Debt Issued prior to December 1, 2010.

For any debt issues (subject to SEC Rule 15c2-12) issued prior to December 1, 2010, notice of the following events, if determined to be material, would need to be provided to the City’s Disclosure Dissemination Agent, for further filing with the MSRB, “in a timely manner.”
• Principal and interest payment delinquencies
• Non-payment related defaults
• Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulty • Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulty • Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform • Adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax-exempt status of the security 212
• Modifications to rights of security holders

4. Notices of Failure to File. In addition, the City’s Director of Finance will be responsible for providing notice, in a timely manner, of a failure by the City or other obligated related entity, as applicable, to provide any of the required annual financial information by the date specified in the continuing disclosure undertaking.

F. Voluntary Disclosure Requirements
In addition to preparing annual reports and Event Notices, the City may wish to keep investors informed by providing information that is not required to be provided under its continuing disclosure undertakings entered into in furtherance of the Rule.

Examples of such types of information are investments, interim financial information, capital improvement plans, fund balance policies, etc. and financial forecasts.

Because providing this information is voluntary, the City Manager will monitor events which may impact the City, so that a determination can be made by the DWG, in consultation with the City’s legal counsel, if the event should be disclosed.

Information provided to potential or present owners of municipal securities is subject to federal securities laws, regulations and standards. Therefore, all proposed voluntary disclosure notices will be subject to legal review prior to any dissemination.

Evidence of the filings for any of the Event Notices described in Section E of this Policy or any voluntary disclosed notice described in this Section F, when made, shall be maintained on the DAC system, for so long as DAC is the City’s Disclosure Dissemination Agent.

The City does not maintain an “Investor Relations” website.

G. Interim Disclosure Requirements
Currently, the City is not required to file interim financial information. In the future, if such filings are required in continuing disclosure undertakings, the City’s Director of Finance will notify the Disclosure Dissemination Agent for assistance when these filings become necessary.

H. Training for Employees and Issuer Officials
213
For City officials, compliance with federal securities law should be considered as important as compliance with local public meetings and records laws. Periodic review of the continuing disclosure policies of the City will be in compliance with the City’s financial policy.

I. Effective Date
This Amended and Restated Policy shall become effective immediately upon its approval by the City Council.
214

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

FUND BALANCE POLICY FOR THE GENERAL FUND
POLICY
This Fund Balance Policy establishes the procedures for reporting unrestricted fund balance in the General Fund financial statements. Certain commitments and assignments of fund balance will help ensure that there will be adequate financial resources to protect the city against unforeseen circumstances and events such as revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures. The policy also authorizes and directs the Finance Director to prepare financial reports which accurately categorize fund balance as per Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions.

PROCEDURES
Fund balance is essentially the difference between the assets and liabilities reported in a governmental fund. There are five separate components of fund balance, each of which identifies the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts can be spent.
• Nonspendable fund balance (inherently nonspendable)
• Restricted fund balance (externally enforceable limitations on use) • Committed fund balance (self-imposed limitations on use) • Assigned fund balance (limitation resulting from intended use) • Unassigned fund balance (residual net resources)
The first two components listed above are not addressed in this policy due to the nature of their restrictions. An example of nonspendable fund balance is prepaid expenses. Restricted fund balance is either imposed by law or constrained by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. This policy is focused on financial reporting of unrestricted fund balance, or the last three components listed above. These three components are further defined below.

Committed Fund Balance
215
The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the city Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however the amount can be determined subsequently.

Assigned Fund Balance
Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed, should be reported as assigned fund balance.

This policy hereby delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the Finance Director for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. A few examples of assigned fund balance follow:
• Continuing Appropriations
Fund balance levels must be sufficient to meet funding requirements for projects approved in prior years and which must be carried forward into the new fiscal year. • Debt Service
Established to provide for future debt service obligations. • Budget Balancing Measures
Funds set aside for the purpose of stabilizing the delivery of city services during periods of operational budget deficits and to mitigate the effects of major economic uncertainties resulting from unforeseen changes in revenues and/or expenditures.

Unassigned Fund Balance
These are residual positive net resources of the general fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories. An example of unassigned fund balance would be the following:

Minimum Fund Balance Policy
In June 2005, the City of Agoura Hills passed Resolution No. 05-1378 stating that the City Council and City Staff will endeavor to designate an amount equal to or greater 216
than forty percent (40%) of each year’s proposed General Fund Operating Budget as the City’s unobligated General Fund Reserve. The City Council recognizes that the unobligated General Fund reserves are needed for cash flow requirements; and contingencies such as exposure to natural disasters, exposure to economic impacts, and vulnerability to actions of the State. This resolution requires that if, in any budget year, the City Council determines that the public interest requires expending any amount remaining in General Fund Reserves to fall below forty percent (40%) of that year’s General Fund Operating budget, the City council and City staff, shall, in the following budget year, present a plan for returning the General Fund Reserve to the 40% level, as soon as practicable, based on the City’s then-current budget circumstances.

Fund Balance Classification
The accounting policies of the city consider restricted fund balance to have been spent first when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Similarly, when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, the city considers committed amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts.

This policy is in place to provide a measure of protection for the city against unforeseen circumstances and to comply with GASB Statement No. 54. No other policy or procedure supersedes the authority and provisions of this policy. 217

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

POLICY FOR PROCUREMENT WITH FEDERAL FUNDS
(REVISED 5-19-21)
In addition to Chapters 7 (Purchasing System) and 11 (Public Projects) of Article II of the Agoura Hills Municipal Code, this policy shall apply to the awarding of contracts and sub-grants by the City that are funded, in part or in whole, by federal grants or funds pursuant 2 CFR Subtitle A, Chapter 2, Part 200, Subpart D, Sections 200.317- 200.326.

I. GENERAL PROCUREMENT STANDARDS
A. Code of Conduct. As representatives of the City of Agoura Hills, all employees are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner, maintaining high standards of integrity and the use of good judgment. Employees are expected to be principled in their business interactions and act in good faith with individuals both inside and outside the City. The following Code of Conduct shall govern the performance, behavior and actions of the City, including employees, directors, appointed or elected officials, volunteers, or agents who are engaged in any aspect of procurement, including, but not limited to, purchasing goods and services, awarding contracts and grants, and the administration and supervision of contracts:

1. No employee, director, appointed or elected official, volunteer, or agent of the City shall participate in the selection, award, or administration of contracts supported by a federal award if a conflict of interest is real or apparent to a reasonable person.

2. Conflicts of interest may arise when any employee, officer, or agent of the City, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a real or apparent financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for the contract.

3. No employee, director, appointed or elected official, volunteer, or agent of the City shall do business with, award contracts to, or show favoritism toward a member of his or her immediate family, spouse’s family, or to any company, vendor, contractor, or parties to subcontractors who either employ or has any relationship to a family member; or award a contract or bid which violates the spirit or intent of federal, state and local procurement laws and policies established to maximize free and open competition among qualified vendors.
218

4. The City’s employees, directors, appointed or elected officials, volunteers, or agents shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, gifts, consulting fees, trips, or anything having a monetary value in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) from a vendor, potential vendor, family or employees of a vendor, contractor or parties to subcontractors.

5. Disciplinary measures for violations of the Code of Conduct by employees, directors, appointed or elected officials, volunteers, or agents who are engaged in any aspect of procurement, including, but not limited to, purchasing goods and services, awarding contracts and grants, and the administration and supervision of contracts could lead to disciplinary measures, up to and including possible termination of employment.

B. Solicitation Procedures

1. Acquisition of unnecessary or duplicative items must be avoided. Consideration should be given to consolidating or dividing procurements to obtain a more economical purchase. When appropriate, an analysis will be made of lease versus purchase alternatives, and any other appropriate analysis to determine the most economical approach.

2. To foster greater economy and efficiency, and in accordance with efforts to promote cost-effective use of shared services, the City shall enter into state and local intergovernmental agreements or inter-entity agreements where appropriate for procurement or use of common or shared goods and services.

3. Procuring federal excess and surplus property in lieu of purchasing new equipment and property whenever such use is feasible and reduces project costs shall be utilized.

4. Value engineering clauses may be used in contracts for construction projects of sufficient size to offer reasonable opportunities for cost reductions. Value engineering is a systematic and creative analysis of each contract item or task to ensure that its essential function is provided at the overall lower cost.

5. Contracts shall only be awarded to responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of a proposed procurement. Consideration will be given to such matters as contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources.
219

6. Records will be maintained sufficient to detail the history of procurement. These records will include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: rationale for the method of procurement, selection of contract type, contractor selection or rejection, and the basis for the contract price. The City Clerk will be the repository for said records and shall be maintained for period of no less than seven (7) years.

7. Time and material type contracts (open-ended) may be used only after a determination that no other contract is suitable. Time and material type contract means a contract where the cost to the City is the sum of the actual cost of materials and direct labor hours charged at fixed hourly rates that reflect wages, general and administrative expense, and profit. Each time and material contract will set a ceiling price that the contractor exceeds at its own risk. A higher degree of oversight is required in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the contractor is using efficient methods and effective cost controls.

8. The City alone will be responsible, in accordance with good administrative practice and sound business judgment, for the settlement of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of procurements. These issues include, but are not limited to, source evaluation, protests, disputes, and claims. These standards do not relieve the City of any contractual responsibilities under its contracts. The federal awarding agency will not substitute its judgment for that of the City unless the matter is primarily a federal concern. Violations of law will be referred to the local, state, or federal authority having proper jurisdiction.

C. Competition

1. All procurement transactions must be conducted in a manner providing full and open competition. In order to ensure objective contractor performance and eliminate unfair competitive advantage, contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements, statements of work, and invitations for bids or requests for proposals will be excluded from competing for such procurements. Some of the situations considered to be restrictive of competition include, but are not limited to:
a. Placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to qualify to do business;
b. Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding; c. Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or between affiliated companies;
d. Noncompetitive contracts to consultants that are on retainer contracts; e. Organizational conflicts of interest;
f. Specifying only a brand name product instead of allowing an equal product to be offered and describing the performance or other relevant requirements of the procurement; and
220
g. Any arbitrary action in the procurement process.

2. Procurements shall be conducted in a manner that prohibits the use of statutorily or administratively imposed state or local geographical preferences in the evaluation of bids or proposals, except in those cases where applicable federal statutes expressly mandate or encourage geographic preference. Nothing in this section preempts state licensing laws. When contracting for architectural and engineering (A/E) services, geographic location may be a selection criterion provided its application leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the project, to compete for the contract.

3. All solicitations will incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the material, product, or service to be procured. Such description must not, in competitive procurements, contain features which unduly restrict competition. The description may include a statement of the qualitative nature of the material, product or service to be procured and, when necessary, must set forth those minimum essential characteristics and standard to which it must conform if it is to satisfy its intended use. Detailed product specifications should be avoided if at all possible. When it is impractical or uneconomical to make a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements, a brand name or equivalent description may be used as a means to define the performance or other relevant requirements of procurement. The specific features of the named brand which must be met by offers must be clearly stated.

4. Bids and proposals shall identify all the requirements which the offerors must fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluation bids or proposals D. Methods of Procurement to be followed. The City shall use one of the following methods of procurement:

1. Procurement by Micro-Purchases. Procurement by micro-purchase is the acquisition of supplies or services, the aggregate dollar amount of which does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold as set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and adjusted periodically for inflation. To the extent practicable, the City must distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotations if the City considers the price to be reasonable. As of the date of this policy, the micro-purchase threshold is $3,000.

2. Procurement by Small Purchase Procedures. Small purchase procedures are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies or other property that do not cost more than the simplified acquisition 221
threshold as set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 CFR Subpart 2.1 (Definitions) and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1908 and periodically adjusted for inflation. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations shall be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. As of the date of this policy, the simplified acquisition threshold is $150,000. For purchases exceeding twenty five thousand ($25,000), City Council approval is required.

3. Procurement by Sealed Bids (Formal Advertising). Bids are publicly solicited and a firm-fixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price.
a. For sealed bidding to be feasible, the following conditions should be present:
(1) A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available;
(2) Two or more responsible bidders are willing and able to compete effectively for the business; and
(3) The procurement lends itself to a firm-fixed-price contract and the selection of the successful bidder can be made principally based on price. b. If sealed bids are used, the following requirements apply:
(1) The invitation for bids will be publicly advertised and bids shall be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources, providing them sufficient time prior to the date set for opening the bids;
(2) The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments, shall define the items or services for the bidder to properly respond; (3) All bids will be publicly opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids;
(4) A firm-fixed-price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discounts, transportation cost and life cycle costs shall be considered in determining which bid is lowest. Payment discounts will only be used to determine the low bid when prior experience indicates that such discounts are usually taken advantage of; and
(5) If there is a sound documented reason, any or all bids may be rejected.

4. Procurement by Competitive Proposals: Purchases over the Simplified Acquisition threshold, which is currently $150,000. This procurement method requires formal solicitation, fixed-price or cost-reimbursement contracts, and is used when sealed bids are not appropriate. The contract should be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the program, with price being one of the various factors. If this method is used, the following requirements apply:
222
a. Requests for proposals must be publicized and identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals must be considered to the maximum extent practical;
b. Proposals must be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources; c. The methods for conducting technical evaluations of the proposals received and for selecting recipients may include, but not limited to: oral interviews, references, past performance, availability to perform work, and certifications as determined by project scope.
d. Any response that takes exception to any mandatory items in this proposal process may be rejected and not considered;
e. Contracts must be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the City, with price and other factors considered; and, f. Competitive proposal procedures may be used for qualifications-based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services whereby competitors’ qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. The method, where price is not used as a selection factor, can only be used in procurement of A/E professional services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of services, though A/E firms are a potential source to perform the proposed effort. g. Noncompetitive proposals: Also known as sole-source procurement, this may be appropriate only when one or more of the following criteria are met:
• The dollar amount does not exceed the micro-purchase threshold in Subsection D.1;
• The item is available only from a single source;
• The public emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation;
• The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in response to a written request from the non-federal entity; or
• After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate.
223
E. Contract Cost and Price. A cost or price analysis shall be performed in connection with every procurement action in excess of the Simplified Acquisition threshold ($150,000) including contract modifications. The method and degree of analysis is dependent on the facts surrounding the particular procurement situation, but as a starting point, independent estimates shall be made prior to receiving bids and proposals.

1. Profit shall be negotiated as a separate element of the price for each contract in which there is a no price competition and in all cases where cost analysis is performed.

To establish a fair and reasonable profit, consideration must be given to the complexity of the work to be performed, the risk borne by the contractor, the contractor’s investment, the amount of subcontracting, the quality of its record of past performance, and industry profit rates in the surrounding geographical area for similar work.

2. Costs or prices based on estimated costs for contracts under the federal award are allowable only to the extent that costs incurred or cost estimates included in negotiated prices would be allowable for the City under Subpart E- Cost Principles of Part 200- Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.

3. The cost plus a percentage of cost and percentage of construction cost methods of contracting must not be used.

F. Federal Awarding Agency or Pass-Through Entity Review.

1. The City shall make available, upon request of the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity, technical specifications on proposed procurements where the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity believes such review is needed to ensure that the item or service specified is the one being proposed for acquisition.

This review generally will take place prior to the time the specification is incorporated into a solicitation document. However, if the City desires to have the review accomplished after a solicitation has been developed, the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity may still review the specifications, with such review usually limited to the technical aspects of the proposed purchase.

2. The City will make available upon request, for the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity pre- procurement review, procurement documents, such as requests for proposals or invitations for bids, or independent cost estimates, when:
a. Procurement procedures or operation fails to comply with the procurement standards in this part;
224
b. The procurement is expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($150,000) and is to be awarded without competition or only one bid or offer is received in response to a solicitation;
c. The procurement, which is expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, specifies a “brand name” product;
d. The proposed contract is more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and is to be awarded to other than the apparent low bidder under a sealed bid procurement; or
e. A proposed contract modification changes the scope of a contract or increases the contract amount by more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

3. The City is exempt from the pre-procurement review in paragraph 2 of this section if the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity determines that its procurement systems comply with the standards of this part.

4. The City may request that its procurement system be reviewed by the federal awarding agency or pass- through entity to determine whether its system meets these standards in order for its system to be certified. Generally, these reviews must occur where there is continuous high-dollar funding, and third-party contracts are awarded on a regular basis;

5. The City may self-certify its procurement system. Such self-certification must not limit the federal awarding agency's right to survey the system. Under a self-certification procedure, the federal awarding agency may rely on written assurances from the City that it is complying with these standards. The City must cite specific policies, procedures, regulations, or standards as being in compliance with these requirements and have its system available for review.

G. Bonding Requirements
For construction or facility improvement contracts or subcontracts exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($150,000), the federal awarding or pass-through entity may accept the bonding policy and requirements of the City provided that the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity has made a determination that the federal interest is adequately protected. If such a determination has not been made, the minimum requirements must be as follows:

1. A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent (5%) of the bid price. The bid guarantee must consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certified check, or other negotiable instrument accompanying a bid as assurance that 225
the bidder will, upon acceptance of the bid, execute such contractual documents as may be required within the time specified;

2. A performance bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent (100%) of the contract price. A performance bond is one executed in connection with a contract to secure fulfillment of all the contractor’s obligations under such contract; and,

3. A payment bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent (100%) of the contract price. A payment bond is one executed in connection with a contract to assure payment as required by law of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the work provided for in the contract.

H. Contract Provisions
All contracts using federal funding shall comply with the following as applicable:

1. Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the inflation adjusted amount determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

2. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the City including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement.

3. Equal Employment Opportunity. Except as otherwise provided under 41 CFR Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41 CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b), in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319, 12935, 3 CFR Part, 1964-1965 Comp., p. 339), as amended by Executive Order 11375, “Amending Executive Order 11246 Relating to Equal Employment Opportunity,” and implementing regulations at 41 CFR part 60, “Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.”

4. Davis-Bacon Act, as amended (40 U.S.C. 3141-3148). When required by Federal program legislation, all prime construction contracts in excess of $2,000 awarded by non-Federal entities must include a provision for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141-3144, and 3146-3148) as supplemented by 226
Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5, “Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted Construction”). In accordance with the statute, contractors must be required to pay wages to laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than the prevailing wages specified in a wage determination made by the Secretary of Labor. In addition, contractors must be required to pay wages not less than once a week. The City entity must place a copy of the current prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor in each solicitation. The decision to award a contract or subcontract must be conditioned upon the acceptance of the wage determination. The City entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a provision for compliance with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 3, “Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Building or Public Work Financed in Whole or in Part by Loans or Grants from the United States”). The Act provides that each contractor or subrecipient must be prohibited from inducing, by any means, any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled. The City entity must report all suspected or reported violations to the Federal awarding agency.

5. Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act. Applies to construction contracts in excess of $2,000. It prohibits kickbacks in construction contracts funded with Federal monies.

Contractors and subcontractors or subrecipients shall be prohibited from inducing any person employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the compensation to which he or she is otherwise entitled and suspected or reported violations shall be immediately reported to the Federal awarding agency.

6. Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708). Where applicable, all contracts awarded by the City in excess of $100,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. 227

7. Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement. If the Federal award meets the definition of “funding agreement” under 37 CFR §401.2 (a) and the recipient or subrecipient wishes to enter into a contract with a small business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties, assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work under that “funding agreement,” the recipient or subrecipient must comply with the requirements of 37 CFR Part 401, “Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts, and Cooperative Agreements”, and any implementing regulations issued by the awarding agency.

8. Clean Air Act & Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Contracts and sub grants in excess of $150,000 must contain a provision that requires the non-Federal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Suspected or reported violations must be reported to the Federal awarding agency and the Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

9. Debarment and Suspension. A contract award must not be made to parties listed on the governmentwide exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM), in accordance with the OMB guidelines at 2 CFR 180 that implement Executive Orders 12549 (3 CFR part 1986 Comp., p. 189) and 12689 (3 CFR part 1989 Comp., p. 235), “Debarment and Suspension.” SAM Exclusions contains the names of parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive Order 12549.

10. Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S.C. 1352)—Contractors that apply or bid for an award exceeding $100,000 must file the required certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award covered by 31 U.S.C. 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying with non-Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the City award.

I. Contracting with small and minority business, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms.

All necessary affirmative steps will be taken to assure that minority business, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used when possible.

Affirmative steps include:
228

1. Placing qualified small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises on solicitation lists;

2. Assuring that small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;

3. Dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises;

4. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which encourage participation by small and minority businesses and women’s business enterprises;

5. Using the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such organizations as the Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce; and,

6. Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the affirmative steps listed in paragraphs (1) through (5) of this section.

J. Domestic preferences for procurements.

1. As appropriate and to the extent consistent with law, the City should, to the greatest extent practicable under a Federal award, provide a preference for the purchase, acquisition, or use of goods, products, or materials produced in the United States (including but not limited to iron, aluminum, steel, cement, and other manufactured products). The requirements of this section must be included in all subawards including all contracts and purchase orders for work or products under this award.

2. For purposes of this Section:
a. “Produced in the United States” means, for iron and steel products, that all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States. b. “Manufactured products” means items and construction materials composed in whole or in part of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum; plastics and polymer-based products such as polyvinyl chloride pipe; aggregates such as concrete; glass, including optical fiber; and lumber.
