Re: Support for Utica’s Community Water Supply and Forest Protection Planning Project grant application #1543
Dear Angela Avery:
I am writing to express City of Angels support for the Utica Water and Power Authority’s (Utica) Community Water Supply and Forest Protection Planning Project grant application to the Sierra Nevada Conservancy.
The City of Angels and its residents enjoy the Angels Creek that is filled with flora and fauna representing a life center making its way to New Melones. This is made possible with the Utica conveyance system. The very nature of our community relies on that complex system.
Utica’s water system provides the sole water supply to more than 10,000 people who live in Murphys, Douglas Flat, Vallecito, and Angels Camp, in Calaveras County. In addition to providing water for residential, commercial, and agricultural customers, Utica provides water for hundreds of fire hydrants. Planning for fuel reduction projects that would protect the Utica Water Supply System, and the natural areas surrounding the infrastructure should be a #1 priority.
The proposed Utica fuel break project is within an area designated by CAL FIRE as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Utica’s fuel-reduction project would bolster existing fuel breaks and fuels reduction efforts, while also protecting Utica’s Water Supply System. Defending the water system, and local communities and natural areas will allow Utica to keep a continuous delivery of water resources, and create a more resilient watershed and forested environment.
I hope you choose to fund the application submitted by the Utica Water and Power Authority. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Alvin Broglio
Mayor
City of Angels

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 DATE: October 18, 2022
TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Resolution 22-71 Establishing the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution 22-71 establishing the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission considered Resolution of Intent 22-23 at its October 13, 2022, meeting.
The proposed Resolution will establish the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
A “cultural resource” is any building, structure, object, site, district, or other item of cultural, social, religious, economic, political, scientific, agricultural, educational, military, engineering or architectural significance to the citizens of the City of Angels, the State of California, or the nation which is 50 years of age or older or has been listed on or is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Cultural Resources, or any local register. Examples of prehistoric resources may include stone tools and manufacturing debris; milling equipment such as bedrock mortars, portable mortars, and pestles; darkened or stained soils (midden) that may contain dietary remains such as shell and bone; historic dumps (trash), mine workings 50 years old or older, dark gray or brown deposits with fire broken rock, stone tools, mining tools or other such features as well as human remains. Historic resources may include burial plots; structural foundations; mining spoils piles and prospecting pits; cabin pads; and trash scatters consisting of cans with soldered seams or tops, bottles, cut (square) nails, and ceramics.
Multiple General Plan 2020 Cultural Resources Element policies and implementation programs call for establishing a local inventory of cultural resources as necessary to manage cultural resources citywide and to 7B
City of Angels Cultural Resources Inventory Page - 2
implement incentive programs including application of the State Historic Building Code (SHBC), the Mills Act, and other incentives the City may adopt.
The proposed resolution, upon approval by the City Council, will allow for immediate application of the State Historic Building Code (Health and Safety Code Sections 18950 through 18961) for structures qualifying for and requesting listing on the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
The SHBC recognizes the unique construction problems inherent in historical buildings by providing a code to deal with these problems. The provisions of the SHBC are to be applied by the enforcing authority of every city, county, city and county, or state agency in permitting repairs, alterations and additions necessary for the preservation, rehabilitation, relocation, related construction, change of use or continued use of a qualified historical building.
To be considered a qualified historical building or structure, Health and Safety Code Section 18955 states: … a qualified historical building or structure is any structure or collection of structures, and their associated sites deemed of importance to the history, architecture, or culture of an area by an appropriate local or state governmental jurisdiction. This shall include structures on existing or future national, state or local historical registers or official inventories, such as the National Register of Historic Places, State Historical Landmarks, State Points of Historical Interest, and city or county registers or inventories of historical or architecturally significant sites, places, historic districts, or landmarks.
Adoption of the City of Angels Cultural Resources Register, which incorporates the most recent historical inventory conducted in the City (2011), will facilitate the application of the SHBC in the City.
Requirements and procedures for inclusion on the inventory are contained in the attached resolution.
The following General Plan 2020 policies and programs are in support of the proposed inventory.
General Plan 2020 – Cultural Resources Element
Policies
8.A.1 Provide mechanisms to identify and preserve the historic, visual, and aesthetic character and diversity of Angels Camp by encouraging the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of buildings, structures, places, sites, districts or other objects or things that represent past eras, events or persons important in Angels Camp's prehistoric, historic, cultural, social, economic, political and architectural history, or which provide significant examples of architectural styles of the past, or which are unique and irreplaceable assets to the city, or which provide examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived.
8.B.1 Recognize the importance of cultural resources management to the attractiveness, character and livability of Angels Camp.
8.B.2 Assist in retaining the special character of historic buildings, structures and districts and promote compatible development within historic districts by providing flexible development standards to encourage preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites and districts.
8.B.3 Recognize the importance of cultural resources management to the city's economic health and development. Promote the continued private ownership and utilization of historic properties by providing economic and zoning incentives to stabilize and City of Angels Cultural Resources Inventory Page - 3
improve the value of properties designated as historic resources, and strengthen the economy of Angels Camp by enhancing the city's attraction to residents and encouraging heritage tourism.
8.B.4 Emphasize the provision of incentives to encourage the retention, reuse and restoration of historic structures.
8.B.5 Establish the tools necessary for the city to pursue funding sources and develop incentive programs essential to the preservation of the city's cultural resources.
8.B.6 Seek the expertise of qualified professionals in evaluating potential impacts of proposed projects on cultural resources.
8.B.7 Manage the city's cultural resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines.
Implementation Programs
8.A.h Establish an Angels Camp Register of Cultural Resources Establish a Register of Cultural Resources for Angels Camp for the purposes of recognizing properties that are historically and culturally important to the citizens of Angels Camp and to implement preservation incentives programs pursuant to the Cultural Resources Management Ordinance (see 2020 General Plan Program 8.B.a).
The Register will include properties that are:
a. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places
b. Listed on the California Register of Historical Resources c. Properties contained within cultural resource inventories (see 2020 General Plan Program 8.A.e) that have been assigned a California Historical Resources Status Code (2020 General Plan Appendix SD) or National Register designation of:
1. listed on the National Register;
2. determined eligible for listing by formal process involving federal agencies;
3. appears to be eligible for listing in the judgment of the person completing the form;
4. might become eligible for listing; or
5. ineligible for listing on the National or California Registers but of local interest and eligible for the City Register
d. Properties that meet the criteria for listing on the City Register, contained in the Cultural Resources Management Ordinance
City of Angels Cultural Resources Inventory Page - 4
e. Carry the Historic Combining District (:H) designation
8.B.c Provide Zoning Incentives to Encourage Preservation and Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings
Allow the modification of development standards, provided a determination is made that the modification furthers the intent and purpose of this element. The program will consider allowing, as a conditional use, expanded uses for historic resources located in residential zones, and may also consider modification of dimensional limitations such as building coverage and setbacks. Modified development standards shall not alter conformance requirements of appropriate building, construction or fire codes (e.g., State Historic Building Code, Uniform Building Code, Uniform Fire Code, Uniform Code for Building Conservation). City building officials and fire officials are encouraged to liberally construe pertinent portions of the codes in furtherance of this element to the extent that interpretations do not endanger health and safety.
8.B.d Continue to Allow Use of Materials and Methods Consistent with the Construction Date of the Building for Buildings 50 Years of Age or Older per the State Historic Building Code
Continue to allow rehabilitation of housing using materials and methods as of the date of original construction for those residences 50 years of age or older and/or listed in the city's historical inventory (Central Sierra Historic Resource Inventory, March, 1989; Leslie Crow and as may be amended) unless a health or safety hazard would result, consistent with the provisions of Health & Safety Code Section 17922(d). Refer to the State Historic Building Code (2020 General Plan Appendix 81) for guidance, where pertinent.
Please note that some modifications of the above policies and programs have been made in the attached resolution to reflect updated information (e.g., a 2011 cultural resources inventory provides more current resource evaluations than the 1989 referenced resources inventory)
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendments are exempt from further review, because the proposed amendments implement a program identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Utica Hotel City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources Page - 1 DATE: October 18, 2022
TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Resolution 22-72 adding the Utica Hotel located at 1270-1276 South Main Street to the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution 22-72, recommending to the City Council adding the Utica Hotel located at 1270-1276 South Main Street to the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources (City of Angels RCR) is proposed for approval before the City Council on October 18, 2022, and was considered by the Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution 22-23.
The Utica Hotel property owners have requested inclusion as the first entry on the City of Angels RCR. The Planning Commission approved Resolution 2019-24 for extensive renovations to the Utica Hotel, including the addition of a third floor. The applicant recently submitted revised plans for the renovation which now excludes the third floor. Therefore, no significant changes to the façade will occur.
Pursuant to the draft resolution adopting the City of Angels RCR, the Planning Commission shall determine:
Whether the property in question is qualified for inclusion on the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources;
The Commission shall forward its recommendations to the City Council. The City Council shall consider the recommendations and take action to include or exclude the property for inclusion on the City of Angels RCR. 7C
Utica Hotel City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources Page - 2 Per the draft resolution, qualifications for inclusion in the City of Angels RCR include resources that have:
… been evaluated and determined eligible for listing on a local, state, or national register of cultural resources either individually or as a contributor to a district pursuant to the Historic Resources Inventory and Evaluations, Historic Commercial Center, Angels Camp, CA, April 2011 prepared under Community Development Block Grant #08-EDEF-5782 by Foothill Resources, Ltd. and as that inventory may be amended.
The Utica Hotel was evaluated pursuant to the referenced inventory as Resource #22 and determined eligible for individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places and as a contributor to a National Register district.
Originally named the Bazinett Hotel, the structure was dedicated in May 1937 as a board formed concrete and steel hotel building in the Art Deco style “as one of the largest and most impressive buildings in the Mother Lode.” The Bazinett Hotel was constructed on the former site of several 1850s-1880s buildings which burned in 1931. It was designed and built by O.J. Scherer of Angels Camp with Charles Gulick of Stockton as the structural engineer. It originally contained 30 rooms and one apartment and included hot and cold running water in each room. It was “the grandest building ever erected in Angels Camp, and reputedly supported by gambling.” The significance of the building is associated with the resurgence of hard rock mining in Angels Camp and hosted various movie stars of the era including John Wayne and Van Johnson among others. “It embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Art Deco style of architecture in its type, period, and method of construction and represents a new age in Angels Camp, one in which the automobile and modernism reached ascendancy.”
Based on the preceding, the Planning Commission may find that the Utica Hotel is qualified for and should be added as the first entry on the City of Angels Register of Cultural Resources.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed resolution is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331, Class 31 Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation because the inclusion of the Utica Hotel on the City of Angels Inventory of Cultural Resources will allow it to maintain, repair, stabilize, rehabilitate, restore, preserve, conserve or reconstruct an historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (1995), Weeks and through the application of the State Historic Building Code.

TO City Council
FROM Chris O’Flinn, Public Works Superintendent
RE APPROVED THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF IGNITION S.C.A.D.A. SOFTWARE AND APPROVE RESOLUTION 22-73 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase and installation of Ignition S.C.A.D.A software to replace the outdated Wonderware product currently in use and approve Resolution 22-73 adjusting the Fiscal year 2022-23 Budget.
BACKGROUND
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (S.C.A.D.A) is a control interface used by operations staff to monitor processes, change set points, and receive callouts for alarm conditions at the water treatment plant. S.C.A.D.A also records flow and analytical data such as turbidity, chlorine residuals, and pH needed for monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting.
DISCUSSION
On September 16, 2022, the S.C.A.D.A computer hard drive failed at the water plant, severely limiting operational capacity. Staff called A T.E.E.M. Electrical Engineering for help with this situation. Eric Burns from A.T.E.E.M. is the original integrator for the S.C.A.D.A. system at the water plant. Eric could not make the current Wonderware software work with our standby computer due to its incompatibility with operating systems newer than Windows
7. Due to software licensing issues, Eric was able to supply a temporary solution with one of his old computers, but this would only last for a short time. Eric recommended moving forward with the replacement of the Wonderware software with the Ignition software that we currently use at the wastewater plant.
The current S.C.A.D.A software used at the treatment plant is outdated and cannot be used with existing operating systems like Windows 10. This software was scheduled for replacement during the upcoming treatment plant upgrades.
Due to the emergency, the staff is requesting approval to move forward with replacing the Wonderware software with the Ignition Software at the cost of $11,874.00. Staff is also asking A.T.E.E.M. to install and start the new software due to their operational history with the treatment plant, at $9,120.00. The total cost for the entire project would be $20,994.00.

RE: RESCIND RESOLUTION 12-05
RECOMMENDATION
Rescind Resolution 12-05 as recommended by the Destination Angels Camp Board on August 25, 2022.
BACKGROUND
Resolution 12-05 was approved in 2012 as a recognition that Destination Angels Camp would serve as the Economic Development Corporation for Angels Camp. Destination Angels Camp was formed as a 501c4, which is a Social Welfare Organization.
DISCUSSION
At that time, the primary focus of Destination Angels Camp was economic development, as it pertained to business retention and recruitment activities and programs in Angels Camp. The basis for qualifying for a 501c4 exemption status is very limited as it is specifically for Social Welfare Organizations.
The City of Angels, as a municipality must be extremely careful when any governmental burdens are deferred. Creating the “Public-Private Partnership” was the rationale and justification of the 501c4 exemption.
Per the 2017-2022 Strategic Plan for Destination Angels Camp Development Corporation their mission is “to create a vibrant business environmentshowcasing Angels Camp'sstrengths and uniqueness, cultivate social and educational opportunities and improve upon the tourism infrastructure year-round for residents, businesses and visitors through economic and destination development”.
The City of Angels is supportive of this mission, just as it is with the Calaveras Visitors Bureau’s mission that states “to serve our members and community by supporting sustainable economic growth through the promotion of tourism in Calaveras County”, and the Chamber of Commerce’s mission of “promote and actively achieve Calaveras County economic prosperity and community sustainability”.
Continued collaboration with Destination Angels Camp is supported by finding projects, specific to the residents and businesses within the City of Angels. The City can engage with Destination Angels Camp 7F

IRS Exemptions
G. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS
Charity Through the Back Door
by
Robert Louthian and Marvin Friedlander
1. Introduction
Where an organization benefits a charitable class of individuals directly, the charitable purpose intended to be accomplished is clear. If the direct beneficiaries of an organization do not represent a charitable class, such as the "poor and distressed" or "underprivileged," exemption is not necessarily precluded but, instead, will be dependent on whether the activity furthers charitable purposes.
Assistance to for-profit businesses located in depressed areas may accomplish charitable goals such as the relief of community deterioration and the relief of the poor and distressed (through increased employment opportunities) even though the businesses are not proper charitable objects. Thus, an organization may justify exemption on the basis that its charitable purposes may be accomplished either through direct assistance to members of a charitable class or by accomplishing charitable ends through the use of individuals who are not themselves members of a charitable class.
Certain organizations which ultimately accomplish exempt purposes through the provision of assistance to for-profit businesses are collectively referred to as "economic development corporations" and include "incubators," and "Small Business Investment Corporations" (SBICs), and also "Section 301(d) Licensees" (a.k.a. "Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Companies" and "MESBICs") which is a specialized form of an SBIC. While the incubator is not a statutory entity, SBICs and section 301(d) licensees are creatures of the Small Business Investment Act which is administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Within the various types of exempt organizations described in IRC 501(c), the most likely under which economic development corporations seek tax-exempt status is as a charity under IRC 501(c)(3). Therefore, this is the article's primary focus. However, we encounter economic development corporations under IRC 501(c)(4), social welfare organizations, and IRC 501(c)(6), business leagues. One may also see an IRC 501(c)(12) cooperative utility organize an industrial park, but such events are rare.
2. Economic Development Corporations
Economic development corporations generally are established to assist existing and new businesses located in a particular geographic area through a variety of activities including grants, loans, provision of information and expertise, or creation of industrial parks. Incubators are a type of economic development corporation generally formed to provide assistance to induce new businesses to locate in communities whose economies are depressed or deteriorating, or to provide assistance to existing, emerging businesses so that they may remain in such communities. Incubators provide low-interest loans, facilities and equipment to new and emerging businesses as well as clerical and technical services in an effort to encourage such businesses to locate in the depressed areas. The services provided to the new businesses are offered by the incubator at reduced rates or even free of charge. Incubators may be set-up and/or sponsored by local and state governments, they may be affiliated with universities, or they may be an offshoot of an existing tax-exempt organization. In many cases, incubator organizations operate a "technology center" where businesses can be assisted (nurtured) through provision of business expertise, lower rental rates or pooled or shared services.
3. Exemption under IRC 501(c)(3)
In applying for exempt status, most economic development corporations would prefer the favored status of IRC 501(c)(3) exemption. To be recognized as exempt under 501(c)(3), the organization must demonstrate that it is both organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. Recall that Regs.
1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(2) provides that the term "charitable," as used in 501(c)(3), includes the relief of the poor and distressed, lessening the burdens of government, and the promotion of social welfare by organizations designed to lessen neighborhood tensions, eliminate prejudice and discrimination or combat community deterioration and juvenile delinquency. Perhaps an economic development corporation will claim that its activities accomplish all of these purposes. The specialist, however, should attempt to focus on the particular basis (or bases) upon which exemption may be recognized or retained and ascertain, using a facts and circumstances approach, whether the activities are likely to accomplish exempt purposes.
The theory behind recognizing economic development corporations as exempt under IRC 501(c)(3) is that although services are provided directly to forprofit businesses, the ultimate good received by the general public outweighs the private benefit accorded to the direct beneficiaries. In light of this, the most important factual determination for the specialist to make is whether the activities of the incubator serve a public rather than a private interest consistent with Regs.
1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(1)(ii). In applying the facts and circumstances test, the Service has provided some guidance in the form of three revenue rulings.
Rev. Rul. 74-587, 1974-2 C.B. 162, held that an organization that devoted its resources to programs to stimulate economic development in economically depressed, high-density, urban areas, inhabited mainly by low-income minority or other disadvantaged groups, qualified for exemption under IRC 501(c)(3). The organization made loans and purchased equity interests in businesses unable to obtain funds from conventional sources because of financial risks associated with their location and/or because of being owned by members of a minority or other disadvantaged group. The organization established that its investments were not undertaken for profit or gain, but to advance its charitable goals. Funds for its program were obtained from foundation grants and public contributions.
Rev. Rul. 76-419, 1976-2 C.B. 146, held that a nonprofit organization that purchased blighted land in an economically depressed community, converted the land into an industrial park, and induced industrial enterprises to locate new facilities in the park through favorable lease terms that required employment and training opportunities for unemployed and underemployed residents of the area, is operated exclusively for charitable purposes and is exempt under IRC 501(c)(3).
The rationale for exemption in these rulings includes relieving poverty and lessening neighborhood tensions caused by the lack of jobs in the area; combatting community deterioration by establishing new businesses, rehabilitating existing ones, and eliminating conditions of blight; and lessening prejudice and discrimination against minorities.
Rev. Rul. 77-111, 1977-1 C.B. 144, held that two organizations formed to promote economic development in deteriorated areas did not qualify for exemption under IRC 501(c)(3).
In Situation 1, the organization's purpose is to increase business patronage in a deteriorated area mainly inhabited by minority groups. It accomplishes this purpose by presenting television and radio advertisements describing the advantages of shopping in the area; by creating a speakers bureau composed of local businessmen who discuss the shopping environment with various groups; by operating a telephone service providing information to prospective shoppers on transportation and accommodations in the area; and by informing the news media on the area's problems and potential.
In Situation 2, the organization's purpose is to revive retail sales in an area suffering from continued economic decline. The organization proposes to limit further decline of retail sales within the area caused by competing, outlying shopping centers by constructing a center that would complement the area's existing retail features. The organization purchased the land for the construction of a retail center that will include a department store and a shopping mall. The land purchased by the organization was sold to the city at no economic benefit to the organization. Additional land for the project was acquired by the city through its use of eminent domain. The city rents all the land to the organization and to a private developer who actually will construct and lease out the project. The city requires that minorities be utilized in both the construction and operation of the project and stores located within the project are required to employ a certain percentage of minority group employees.
The revenue ruling holds that although the organizations' activities might contribute to achieving 501(c)(3) purposes, their overall thrust was to promote business as an end in itself rather than to accomplish exclusively exempt purposes.
Rev. Rul. 77-111 distinguishes itself from Rev. Rul. 74-587 by stating that unlike the organization in Rev. Rul. 74-587, the organizations in Situations 1 and 2 do not limit their assistance to businesses located in a deteriorated area that could not obtain conventional financing. The organization described in Situation 1 does not limit its activities to businesses similar to those assisted in Rev. Rul. 74-587, but also to businesses which are not owned by minority groups and which are not experiencing difficulty because of their location in a depressed area.
The activities of the organization in Situation 2 result in major benefits accruing to the stores that will locate within the shopping center. It does not limit its aid to businesses that are owned by members of a minority group or to businesses that would only locate within the area because of the existence of the center. The end result is that the organization's activities are directed to benefit the businesses in the shopping center rather than exclusively to accomplish 501(c)(3) purposes.
In analyzing the revenue rulings, the following factors are necessary to conclude that an economic development corporation is primarily accomplishing charitable purposes despite the element of private benefit present. Assistance is targeted (1) to aid an economically depressed or blighted area; (2) to benefit a disadvantaged group, such as minorities, the unemployed or underemployed; and (3) to aid businesses that have actually experienced difficulty in obtaining conventional financing (a) because of the deteriorated nature of the area in which they were or would be located or (b) because of their minority composition, or to aid businesses that would locate or remain in the economically depressed or blighted area and provide jobs and training to the unemployed or underemployed from such area only if the economic development corporation's assistance was available.
In the two situations described in Rev. Rul. 77-111, there was no targeting of benefits for businesses that were actually disadvantaged because of their minorityowned composition or location. There was also no targeting of benefits for businesses that would only locate or remain in an economically depressed or blighted area and provide jobs to unemployed area residents on account of the organization's activities. Merely targeting assistance to an economically depressed area is not sufficient to overcome the private benefit derived by non-charitable business beneficiaries intended to serve as instruments to accomplish charitable purposes.
In developing economic development corporation cases under IRC 501(c)(3), the emphasis should be in having the organization provide information that shows the targeted area in which it will operate as one which is economically depressed. Federal, state or local designations of an area as depressed, or studies (including maps) are helpful. The organization also should be able to show its specific criteria used in determining whether businesses are eligible for its assistance and how such criteria relate to furthering public rather than private interests.
4. Small Business Administration Organizations
Applications are often received from organizations whose sole purpose is to administer various programs regulated by the SBA. Under the Small Business Investment Act (the Act), the SBA is authorized to license SBICs that will provide capital and long-term loans to small businesses and, in some instances, provide management and technical assistance and advice on a free basis. In order to be licensed by the SBA under the original Act, thereby qualifying for various tax and other advantages, investment companies had to be incorporated as for-profit corporations, have a private paid-in capital and paid-in surplus of not less than $150,000 (so as to insure that they will be operated soundly and profitably), and submit copies of their Articles of Incorporation and financial and other statements for SBA consideration and approval. After an investment company is licensed, the SBA requires it to keep extensive financial records relative to all phases of its operations; these records are reviewed in accordance with the SBA's audit and examination procedures. Under the Act, the SBA is authorized to revoke or suspend a license for violation of the Act or for violation of the SBA rules and regulations promulgated under authority of the Act.
Loans made by the SBIC are generally long-term (a minimum of five years except for special provisions relative to the so-called Special Discretionary Portfolio) and must be made to businesses that qualify as small business concerns under criteria established by the SBA. Without prior SBA approval, the total funds loaned to or invested in equity securities of a particular small business may not exceed 20 percent of the paid in capital and surplus of the SBIC. An investment company is allowed to charge as its maximum rate for interest and related charges the lesser of the maximum allowable rate prescribed by applicable State and local law or 15 percent. No minimum rate is specifically set out in either the Act or the SBA regulations. The SBIC and the small business negotiate the specific terms and conditions under which the investment company will provide assistance to the small business. These terms, however, must conform to SBA regulations, and it is expected that the investment company will secure SBA approval of any transaction that is doubtful under the regulations.
As discussed in G.C.M. 38401 (June 5, 1980), the Service would be concerned with exemption for profit-seeking SBICs because transactions had to be entered with significant attention paid to profits rather than on the basis of their potential for best achieving the organization's charitable goals.
Section 301(d) licensees originally arose as a specialized administrative application of this SBA program to minority owned and managed small business enterprises. A section 301(d) licensee, like any other SBIC licensed under the Act, was originally required to be incorporated as a for-profit corporation. By Public Law 92-595, 86 Stat. 1314 (1972), Congress amended the Act to permit the incorporation and operation of section 301(d) licensees on a nonprofit basis.
Before the 1972 amendment, a section 301(d) licensee was termed a "Minority Enterprise Small Business Investment Company" or "MESBIC." Rev. Rul. 81-284, 1981-2 C.B. 130, holds that a nonprofit section 301(d) licensee which was formed to relieve poverty, eliminate prejudice and discrimination, reduce neighborhood tensions, and combat community deterioration, and that provides low-cost or long-term loans to businesses not able to obtain funds from conventional commercial sources, with preference given to businesses that provide training and employment opportunities for the unemployed or the underemployed residents of economically depressed areas, may qualify for exemption under IRC 501(c)(3). The ruling states that unlike the organization described in Rev. Rul. 74-587, a nonprofit section 301(d) licensee is required to comply with certain regulations promulgated by the SBA. The SBA regulations permit a section 301(d) licensee to determine the terms of each loan made, including the rate of interest, according to the circumstances of each situation.
Also, the SBA regulations do not require that a section 301(d) licensee operate at a profit. However, the SBA regulations do require that the interest rates charged by a section 301(d) licensee must be sufficient, in the aggregate, to recover the cost to the organization of acquiring its loan funds. Further, the SBA regulations impose various considerations that will restrict the degree of financial support that may be offered to a prospective recipient. These considerations relate to the type of business to be aided by the loan, the extent to which the recipient can provide security, and the relationship between the section 301(d) licensee and the recipient.
The principal difference between a section 301(d) licensee and the organization described in Rev. Rul. 74-587 is the presence of the limitations imposed by the SBA regulations. A section 301(d) licensee may be prevented by the SBA regulations from engaging in certain loan transactions which it might otherwise wish to engage in to further its exempt purposes. In contrast, the organization described in Rev. Rul. 74-587 is free to engage in transactions without regard to the limitations imposed by the SBA regulations. Nonetheless, the SBA regulations do not foreclose all opportunities for a section 301(d) licensee to achieve charitable purposes, nor do they compel it to enter into transactions that do not further a charitable purpose. Although a narrower range of permissible transactions is available than to the organization described in Rev. Rul. 74-587, a section 301(d) licensee may still provide loans to businesses that cannot secure financing through conventional commercial sources, the operation of which businesses will achieve charitable purposes in the manner described in Rev. Rul. 74-587.
Rev. Rul. 81-284 is not intended to imply that all section 301(d) licensees qualify for exemption under IRC 501(c)(3). The mere fact that an organization is incorporated or operated on a nonprofit basis does not qualify it for exemption under 501(c)(3). Additionally, under section 301(d) of the Act and the regulations thereunder, an organization may be properly classified as a section 301(d) licensee even though it is not organized or operated exclusively for charitable purposes.
Whether a section 301(d) licensee qualifies for exemption under 501(c)(3) depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case.
5. Lessening the Burdens of Government
As noted earlier, Regs. 1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(2) provides that the term "charitable" includes lessening the burdens of government. Rev. Ruls. 85-1 and 85- 2, 1985-1 C.B. 177, 178, provide examples of organizations that qualify as exempt under IRC 501(c)(3) on the basis that they lessen the burdens of government.
The determination of whether an organization is lessening the burdens of government requires consideration of whether its activities are considered by a governmental unit to be a burden of that governmental unit, and whether such activities actually lessen such burden. To determine whether an activity is a burden of government the question to be answered is whether there is an objective manifestation by the government that it considers such activity to be part of its burden. The interrelationship between the organization and the government may provide evidence that the government considers the organization's activities to be its burden. The fact that the government expresses approval of the activity of an organization is not sufficient to establish that the organization is lessening the burdens of government.
Extreme caution should be exercised before employing a lessening the burdens rationale for an economic development corporation. An economic development corporation qualifies under lessening the burdens of government based on a preponderance facts. Look for specific identification of the organization by the local or state government as well as significant involvement by the governmental authority.
The following specific factors represent an example favoring a lessening of governmental burdens rationale for an economic development corporation. (1) There is a state statute specifically authorizing government funding of an economic development corporation to operate by assisting fledgling businesses within the state as a means to help alleviate severe unemployment. (2) The economic development corporation was established to specifically qualify under the statute and was funded under the statute. (3) The state statute provides that the funding is more than a mere grant but provides the state with approval authority over projects to be financed by the corporation and approval must be obtained from the state on an ongoing basis.
(4) As part of its assistance, the economic development corporation operates in conjunction with a state university.
(5) The specific cities which will be the corporation's primary beneficiaries provide officials who sit on the corporation's board of directors in their official capacity.
(6) The commissioner of the state's Department of Economic Development utilizes the corporation as an extension to carry out services formally conducted by the Department. The Department was unable to continue such services because of budgetary constraints and is not otherwise prohibited from providing such services.
(7) The corporation is required to provide annual reports of its activities and finances to the state government.
6. Exemption under IRC 501(c)(4)
There exists among some a general belief that IRC 501(c)(4) is automatically available for failed IRC 501(c)(3) organizations. That was neither the intendment of such section nor the manner in which it should be enforced.
IRC 501(c)(4) provides for exemption from federal income tax of organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare. Regs. 1.501(c)(4)-1(a)(2)(i) provides that an organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare if it is primarily engaged in promoting in some way the common good and general welfare of the people of the community, such as by bringing about civic betterments and social improvements.
There are two revenue rulings in which economic development corporations were found to be exempt under IRC 501(c)(4). Rev. Rul. 64-187, 1964-1 C.B. 187 (Part 1), holds that a nonprofit corporation organized to provide funds through loans, to be used to purchase or develop land and facilities for industrial and commercial usage to alleviate unemployment in areas classified as "redevelopment areas" under the Area Redevelopment Act (Public Law 87-27), qualifies for exemption under IRC 501(c)(4).
Rev. Rul. 67-294, 1967-2 C.B. 193, holds that a nonprofit organization created to make loans to business entities as an inducement to locate in an economically depressed area may qualify for exemption under IRC 501(c)(4). It was concluded that by encouraging industry to settle in an economically depressed area, the organization is helping alleviate unemployment and is being operated to bring about civic betterment and social improvement.
While both of the above two organizations certainly qualify for exemption under IRC 501(c)(4), the questions left unanswered by these revenue rulings are whether the two organizations would also have qualified for exemption under 501(c)(3) and, if not, why. Operationally, it may be that the economic development corporation's criteria in selecting businesses for which it will provide assistance is too broad so it more resembles the facts in Rev. Rul. 77-111. But, it would seem that the very reason that such organization was denied exemption under IRC 501(c)(3) could also deny such organization 501(c)(4) status. For example, if the primary reason an economic development corporation is disqualified under 501(c)(3) is that its activities serve the private interests of businesses to more than an insubstantial degree, this factor may also result in disqualification under IRC 501(c)(4). IRC 501(c)(4) requires that an organization described therein be operated primarily for social welfare purposes (e.g. promoting the common good and general welfare of the community). The fact that private interests are served to a substantial degree could defeat exemption under 501(c)(4).
This article does not purport to state unequivocally that an organization which fails the operational test of the regulations underlying IRC 501(c)(3) will never qualify for exemption under 501(c)(4); however, failure to meet the requirements of the public benefit standard of IRC 501(c)(3) should raise questions about whether it can satisfy the community benefit standard of 501(c)(4). An examination of the specific activities and whether they are controlled to any significant degree by those to be benefited would be reasonable lines of inquiry.
If a case is under consideration in which an economic development corporation's exemption is under IRC 501(c)(4), it may also be wise to see whether the organization considered exemption under IRC 501(c)(3).
7. Exemption under IRC 501(c)(6)
Business leagues and chambers of commerce are often sponsors of economic development corporations. In general, a chamber of commerce is an organization which is dedicated toward improving the general business conditions of the community.
IRC 501(c)(6) provides for the exemption from federal income tax for business leagues and chambers of commerce not organized for profit and no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. Regs. 1.501(c)(6)-1 provides that a business league or chamber of commerce is an association of persons having some common business interest, the purpose of which is to promote such common interest and not to engage in a regular business of a kind ordinarily carried on for profit. Thus, its activities should be directed toward the improvement of business conditions in one or more lines of business as distinguished from the performance of particular services for individual persons.
In Rev. Rul. 70-81, 1970-1 C.B. 131, the ruling holds that the exempt status of a chamber of commerce is not adversely affected by the development of an industrial park in order to attract new industry to the area. Sites are offered to businesses at low prices, sometimes less than cost, to induce them to locate in the community.
Rev. Rul. 81-138, 1981-1 C.B. 358, involves an exempt organization that was created by a chamber of commerce to encourage business development in a particular area. The organization obtained a mortgage to help finance the construction of a building that is leased to an industrial tenant at less than fair rental value. The ruling hold that these activities are substantially related to the chamber's exempt purpose.
The rationale for these rulings is that the exempt purpose of improving the general business conditions of a community can be accomplished by attracting new industry to the community. Moreover, the manner in which the activities were conducted demonstrated that they were not business enterprises of the kind ordinarily carried on for profit.
Economic development is seldom the sole activity of an IRC 501(c)(6) organization. Instead, economic development is often one of many activities. The above revenue rulings make it clear that the formation and operation of an economic development corporation may be in furtherance of 501(c)(6) purposes.
Care should be undertaken, however, to ensure that the business league or chamber of commerce does not use the economic development corporation to provide services to its members since this would constitute the performance of particular services prohibited by Regs. 1.501(c)(6)-1.

DATE: October 18, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF THE OFFICER IN TRAINING LIMITEDTERM/TEMPORARY POSITION AND APPROVE A SALARY AND CLASSIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss the need for a Police Officer in Training Position (Unrepresented), corresponding salary, and authorize the City Administrator to execute employment contracts for the temporary positions.
BACKGROUND
The City of Angels Police Department continues to struggle to recruit for the Police Officer position currently vacant. This is after including incentive pay as a recruiting tool. The Police Chief and City Administrator have identified a program that has been successful here and other agencies that will allow the City to invest in building Police staff with a recruitment program for individuals that do not currently have their POST certification.
DISCUSSION
The City currently has a vacant Police Officer position and has actively been recruiting. While there have been some applications, the applicants have either not passed all the requirements for appointment or decided after going through the process not to accept the position due to housing issues. This has caused a significant amount of staff time and costs that still leave us with a vacant position.
Staff is recommending creating two (2) fully benefited temporary positions that would be contracted for a 10-month period for training and POST academy attendance. If approved by Council, recruitment for the Police Officer in Training would be created and open to any potential applicant who meets the position's requirements. Interviews would occur, and those selected would go through the necessary background and psych evaluations. Successful passage would allow them to participate in the next POST Academy in March.
The employment contract would be effective upon accepting an offer of temporary employment. Should that date be prior to March 2023, the employee would do non-sworn functions within the Police Department until the academy starts. Upon graduation, the employee would be offered any permanent 7G

Police Officer position available at that time. Should both graduate, the one not offered the position would be put on as a Reserve Officer until such time that a permanent position opened up.
The contract for employment would be drafted in coordination with legal for a limited term, hourly rate of $24.40, and benefits listed in the job classification. Uniforms will be at the expense of the City for nonsworn uniform requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Cost for the POST Academy for two is approximately $14,000 plus equipment.
The cost for each temporary position is $40,000 (salary for 10 months) + $10,000 (benefits) for an estimate of $100,000 in Salaries and Benefits. Savings from the currently open position is $68,500.
The total additional budget impact for a 10-month contract for each position to the Police Department Budget is $45,500.

I asked Coneth to attend the CSJVRMA ResoluteGuard Program Overview. They recommend waiting until our network is redone and then could add this on to have NIST compliance and incident response tracking that would help with compliance and insurance purposes.
