ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Randy McKeegan, Finance Director
DATE: March 14, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution to update Investment Policy Statements for trusts managed by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of resolution
BACKGROUND:

In 2007 the City selected Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) to manage is irrevocable trust designed to fund the Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) retiree medical subsidy program. Since its inception, the trust has accumulated annual contributions and investment earnings resulting in a balance of $98.7 million. Based on the most recent actuarial report, the OPEB liability is at $108.8 million which puts the plan at over 90% funded.

In 2022 the City Council approved adding a separate trust to help manage the growing unfunded pension liability connected to the City’s pension plan through CalPERS. This trust, called a Pension Rate Stabilization Trust, allows the City to contribute funds to the same investment pool under PARS plans. In 2022, the City’s initial contribution was $4 million with contributions budgeted in 2024 and 2025 of $1.3 million and $1.5 million respectively. Included in the resolution to add this new trust was an approval of investment guidelines for both trusts administered by PARS.

The investment advisor for PARS was formally a company called Highmark Capital but the financial institution the company operated under (Union Bank) was acquired by US Bank. That resulted in a change in the financial advisor (in name only) to PFM Asset Management. Under that new institution, the investment policy documentation must be changed to remove references to Highmark Capital. In addition, there is a requirement to have a separate policy for each trust.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no additional fiscal impact with the approval of these policies. Trust balances will be invested based on the established risk tolerance previously established (moderately conservative).

COUNCIL GOAL:

Innovative and Efficient City Government

Adoption of Investment Policy Statement………………………………………………………12 3 The City of Bakersfield “City” has established the City of Bakersfield Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust (the “Trust”). This Trust is intended to provide funding of non-pension postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) for those employees who meet the age and service requirements outlined in the plan document. The City Council of Bakersfield hereby adopt this Investment Policy Statement (“Policy Statement”) for the following purposes.

Purpose
The main investment objective of the Trust is to achieve long-term growth of Trust assets by maximizing long-term rate of return on investments and minimizing risk of loss to fulfill the City’s current and long-term OPEB obligations.

The purpose of this Policy Statement is to achieve the following:

1. Document investment objectives, performance expectations and investment guidelines for Trust assets.

2. Establish an appropriate investment strategy for managing all Trust assets, including an investment time horizon, risk tolerance ranges and asset allocation to provide sufficient diversification and overall return over the long-term time horizon of the Trust.

3. Establish investment guidelines to control overall risk and liquidity.

4. Establish periodic performance reporting requirements to monitor investment results and confirm that the investment policy is being followed.

5. Comply with fiduciary, prudence, due diligence and legal requirements for Trust assets.

Investment Authority
The City Council has appointed a Plan Administrator (the “Administrator”) to oversee certain policies and procedures related to the operation and administration of the Trust. The Administrator will have authority to implement the investment policy and guidelines in the best interest of the Trust to best satisfy the purposes of the Trust. In implementing this Policy Statement, the Administrator believes it may delegate certain functions to:

1. An investment advisor (“Advisor”) to assist the Administrator in the investment process and to maintain compliance with this Policy Statement. The Advisor may assist the Administrator in establishing investment policy objectives and guidelines. The Advisor will adjust asset allocation for the Trust subject to the guidelines and limitations set forth in this Policy Statement. The Advisor will also select investment managers (“Managers”) and strategies consistent with its role as a fiduciary for the Trust. The investment vehicles allowed may include mutual funds, commingled trusts, separate accounts, limited partnerships and other investment vehicles deemed to be appropriate by the Advisor. The Advisor is also responsible 4 for monitoring and reviewing investment managers; measuring and evaluating performance; and other tasks as deemed appropriate in its role as Advisor for Trust assets. The Advisor may also select investments with discretion to purchase, sell, or hold specific securities, such as Exchange Traded Funds, that will be used to meet the Trust’s investment objectives. The Advisor shall never take possession of securities, cash or other assets of the Trust, all of which shall be held by the custodian. The Advisor must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. A custodian selected by the Trust to maintain possession of physical securities and records of street name securities owned by the Trust, collect dividend and interest payments, redeem maturing securities, and effect receipt and delivery following purchases and sales. The custodian may also perform regular accounting of all assets owned, purchased, or sold, as well as movement of assets into and out of the Trust.

3. A trustee appointed by the Trust, such as a bank trust department, if the Trust does not have its own Trustees, to assume fiduciary responsibility for the administration of Trust assets; provided, however, that if the Administrator shall have appointed an investment advisor, then any trustee appointed under this paragraph shall have no authority with respect to selection of investments.

4. Specialists such as attorneys, auditors, actuaries and, retirement plan consultants to assist the Administrator in meeting its responsibilities and obligations to administer Trust assets prudently.

Statement of Investment Objectives
The investment objectives of the Trust are as follows:

1. To invest assets of the Trust in a manner consistent with the following fiduciary standards:
(a) all transactions undertaken must be for the sole interest of Trust beneficiaries, and (b) assets are to be diversified in order to minimize the impact of large losses from individual investments.

2. To provide for funding and anticipated withdrawals on a continuing basis for payment of benefits and reasonable expenses of operation of the Trust.

3. To enhance the value of Trust assets in real terms over the long-term through asset appreciation and income generation, while maintaining a reasonable investment risk profile.

4. Subject to performance expectations over the long-term, to minimize principal fluctuations over the Time Horizon (as defined below).

5. To achieve a long-term level of return commensurate with contemporary economic conditions and equal to or exceeding the investment objective set forth in this Policy Statement under the section labeled “Performance Expectations”. 5 Investment Guidelines
Within this section of the Policy Statement, several terms will be used to articulate various investment concepts. The descriptions are meant to be general and may share investments otherwise considered to be in the same asset class. They are:
"Growth Assets" - a collection of investments and/or asset classes whose primary risk and return characteristics are focused on capital appreciation. Investments within the Growth Assets category can include income and risk mitigating characteristics, so long as the predominant investment risk and return characteristic is capital appreciation. Examples of such investments or asset classes are:
domestic and international equities or equity funds, private or leveraged equity, certain real estate investments, and hedge funds focused on equity risk mitigation or equity-like returns. "Income Assets" - a collection of investments and/or asset classes whose primary risk and return characteristics are focused on income generation. Investments within the Income Assets category can include capital appreciation and risk mitigating characteristics, so long as the primary investment risk and return characteristic is income generation. Examples of such investments or asset classes are:
fixed income securities, guaranteed investment contracts, certain real estate investments, and hedge funds focused on interest rate risk mitigation or income investment-like returns. "Real Return Assets" - a collection of investments and/or asset classes whose primary risk and return characteristics are focused on real returns, net of inflation. Investments within the Real Return category may include, but are not limited to, inflation protected securities, commodities, certain real estate investments, natural resources, and liquid alternatives.

Time Horizon
The Trust’s investment objectives are based on a long-term investment horizon (“Time Horizon”) of five years or longer. Interim fluctuations should be viewed with appropriate perspective. The Administrator has adopted a long-term investment horizon such that the risks and duration of investment losses are carefully weighed against the long-term potential for appreciation of assets.

Liquidity and Diversification
In general, the Trust may hold some cash, cash equivalent, and/or money market funds for near-term Trust benefits and expenses (the “Trust Distributions”). Remaining assets will be invested in longerterm investments and shall be diversified with the intent to minimize the risk of long-term investment losses. Consequently, the total portfolio will be constructed and maintained to provide diversification with regard to the concentration of holdings in individual issues, issuers, countries, governments or industries.

Asset Allocation
6 The Administrator believes that to achieve the greatest likelihood of meeting the Trust’s investment objectives and the best balance between risk and return for optimal diversification, assets will be invested in accordance with the targets for each asset class as follows to achieve an average total annual rate of return that is equal to or greater than the Trust’s target rate of return over the long-term, as described in the section titled “Performance Expectations”.

Asset Weightings
Asset Classes Range Target
Growth Assets
Domestic Equity 10% - 35% 18%
International Equity 3% - 20% 9%
Other 0% - 20% 3%
Income Assets
Fixed Income
Other
50% - 80%
0% - 20%
68%
0%
Real Return Assets 0% - 20% 0%
Cash Equivalents 0% - 20% 2%
The Advisor and each Manager will be evaluated against their peers on the performance of the total funds under their direct management.

Rebalancing Philosophy
The asset allocation range established by this Policy Statement represents a long-term perspective. As such, rapid unanticipated market shifts or changes in economic conditions may cause the asset mix to fall outside Policy Statement ranges. When allocations breach the specified ranges, the Advisor will rebalance the assets within the specified ranges. The Advisor may also rebalance based on market conditions.

Risk Tolerance
Subject to investment objectives and performance expectations, the Trust will be managed in a style that seeks to minimize principal fluctuations over the established Time Horizon.

Performance Expectations
Over the long-term, five years or longer, the performance objective for the Trust will be to achieve an average total annual rate of return that is equal to or greater than both the Trust’s actuarial discount 7 rate, which is currently 5.25% (As of June 2024, Segal) and a blended benchmark Plan target return.

Additionally, it is expected that the annual rate of return on Trust assets will be commensurate with the then prevailing investment environment. Measurement of this return expectation will be judged by reviewing returns in the context of industry standard benchmarks, peer universe comparisons for individual Trust investments and blended benchmark comparisons for the Trust in its entirety.

Selection of Investment Managers
The Advisor shall prudently select appropriate Managers to invest the assets of the Trust. Managers must meet the following criteria:
 The Manager must provide historical quarterly performance data compliant with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®), Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Financial Industry Regulatory Agency (“FINRA”) or industry recognized standards, as appropriate.  The Manager must provide detailed information on the history of the firm, key personnel, support personnel, key clients, and fee schedule (including most-favored-nation clauses). This information can be a copy of a recent Request for Proposal (“RFP”) completed by the Manager or regulatory disclosure.
 The Manager must clearly articulate the investment strategy that will be followed and document that the strategy has been successfully adhered to over time.  The investment professionals making the investment decisions must have a minimum of three (3) years of experience managing similar strategies either at their current firm or at previous firms.  Where other than common funds such as mutual funds or commingled trusts are utilized, the Manager must confirm receipt, understanding and adherence to this Policy Statement and any investment specific policies by signing a consent form provided to the Manager prior to investment of Trust assets.

Guidelines for Portfolio Holdings
Direct Investments by Advisor
Every effort shall be made, to the extent practical, prudent and appropriate, to select investments that have investment objectives and policies that are consistent with this Policy Statement (as outlined in the following sub-sections of the “Guidelines for Portfolio Holdings”). However, given the nature of the investments, it is recognized that there may be deviations between this Policy Statement and the objectives of these investments.

Limitations on Portfolio Holdings

EQUITIES
No more than 5% of the total equity portfolio valued at market may be invested in the common equity of any one corporation; ownership of the shares of one company shall not exceed 5% of those 8 outstanding; and not more than 40% of Equity valued at Market may be held in any one sector [excluding Mutual Funds and/or ETFs], as defined by Bloomberg (BB) Sector standards.

Domestic Equities. Other than the above constraints, there are no quantitative guidelines as to issues, industry or individual security diversification. However, prudent diversification standards should be developed and maintained by the Manager.

International Equities. The overall non-U.S. equity allocation should include a diverse global mix that is comprised of the equity of companies from multiple countries, regions and sectors.

Fixed income securities of any one issuer shall not exceed 5% of the total bond portfolio at time of purchase. The 5% limitation does not apply to issues of the U.S. Treasury or other Federal Agencies.

Eligible Investments
 Debt obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies, and Government Sponsored Enterprises  Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)
 Asset Backed Securities (ABS)
 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO)
 Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS)
 Corporate debt securities issued by U.S. or foreign entities including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, equipment trust certificates and enhanced equipment trust certificates  Municipal Bonds
 Fixed income mutual funds.
 Eligible instruments issued pursuant to SEC Rule 144a (only if the Client is a documented Qualified Institutional Buyer ; QIB)
Quality
The individual securities portfolio will maintain a minimum weighted average effective quality of Aat all times. At the time of purchase, individual securities shall have a minimum effective quality rating of BBB-.

For purposes of determining an effective rating, when three agencies rate a security (S&P, Moodys, Fitch) the middle rating will be used. When only two of the three agencies rate a security the lower of the two ratings will be used. When only one agency rates a security that rating will be used.

Duration
The manager will maintain the portfolio duration within +/- 25% of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index duration at all times for the individual securities portfolio. 9 Diversification
 No more than 30% of the portfolio may be invested in securities issued under Rule 144A* without registration rights (no limit on Rule 144a securities with registration rights). * Note: Rule 144A is an administrative rule under the SEC allowing, under certain circumstances, for qualified institutional investors to trade certain securities with other institutional investors without registering the trade with the SEC. Specifically, the rule allows private companies, both domestic and international, to sell unregistered securities, also known as Rule 144 securities, to qualified institution buyers (QIBs) through a broker-dealer.

OTHER ASSETS (ALTERNATIVES)
Diversifying Liquid Alternatives): Primary objective shall be to enhance the risk-return profile of the overall portfolio. This can be accomplished by using liquid alternative strategies that may enhance returns at a reasonable level of risk or reduce volatility while providing a reasonable level of return.

These asset classes may differ from traditional public market asset classes due to the use of certain strategies including short-selling, leverage, and derivatives. Liquid alternatives may also invest across asset classes. For purposes of asset allocation targets and limitations, liquid alternatives funds will be categorized under the specific asset class of the fund. For example, a long/short U.S. equity fund will be categorized as “Other” in the Growth Assets category while a long/short credit fund will be categorized as “Other” in the Income Assets category. Multi-strategy liquid alternatives funds that cannot be easily categorized under one asset class will be included in “Other” under either the Growth Assets or Income Assets category depending on the risk-return profile of the strategy.

Real Assets: Real assets are typically physical assets that have intrinsic worth due to their substance and properties. Real assets are primarily used for their lower correlation to traditional assets (i.e. stocks and bonds) and their inflation hedging properties. Categories of real asset investments include, but are not limited to, real estate, infrastructure, land, farmland, timberland, precious metals, and commodities.

Public real assets are publicly traded and liquid. The benefit of lower correlation investments is that, when implemented correctly, these investments can potentially improve a portfolio’s expected riskadjusted return over the long-term. The real assets category can be extended to include other forms of assets that offer similar inflation hedging properties such as pooled vehicles holding: commodities contracts, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), index-linked derivative contracts, certain forms of intellectual property, and the equity of companies in businesses thought to hedge inflation.

For purposes of asset allocation targets and limitations, real assets may be categorized as “Other” under either the Growth Assets or Income Assets category or in the Real Return Assets category, depending on the nature and risk/return profile of the investment.

CASH EQUIVALENTS
10 Cash equivalents shall be held in funds complying with Rule 2(a)-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Portfolio Risk Hedging
Portfolio investments designed to hedge various risks including volatility risk, interest rate risk, etc. are allowed to the extent that the investments are not used for the sole purpose of leveraging Trust assets.

One example of a hedge vehicle is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) which takes short positions.

Prohibited Investments
Except for purchase within authorized investments, securities having the following characteristics are not authorized and shall not be purchased: letter stock and other unregistered securities, direct commodities or commodity contracts, or private placements (with the exception of Rule 144A securities). Further, derivatives, options, or futures for the sole purpose of direct portfolio leveraging are prohibited. Direct/physical ownership of real estate, natural resource properties such as oil, gas or timber and the purchase of collectibles is also prohibited.

Control Procedures
Review of Investment Objectives
The Advisor shall review annually and report to the Administrator the appropriateness of this Policy Statement for achieving the Trust’s stated objectives. It is not expected that this Policy Statement will change frequently. In particular, short-term changes in the financial markets should not require an adjustment in this Policy Statement.

Review of Investment Performance
The Advisor shall report on a quarterly basis to the Administrator to review the investment performance of the Trust. In addition, the Advisor will be responsible for keeping the Administrator advised of any material change in investment strategy, Managers, and other pertinent information potentially affecting performance of the Trust.
11 The Advisor shall compare the investment results on a quarterly basis to appropriate peer universe benchmarks, as well as market indices in both equity and fixed income markets. Examples of benchmarks and indexes that will be used include the Russell 3000 Index for broad U.S. equity strategies; S&P 500 Index for large cap U.S. equities, Russell 2000 Index for small cap U.S. equities, MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index for broad based non-U.S. equity strategies, MSCI Europe, Australasia, and Far East (EAFE) Index for developed markets international equities, Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for fixed income securities, and the U.S. 91 Day T-bill for cash equivalents. The Russell 3000 Index will be used to benchmark the U.S. equities portfolio; the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index will be used to benchmark the non-U.S. equities portfolio; the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index will be used to benchmark the fixed income portfolio. The categories “Other” will be benchmarked against appropriate indices depending on the specific characteristics of the strategies and funds used.

Voting of Proxies
The Administrator recognizes that proxies are a significant and valuable tool in corporate governance.

Adoption of Investment Policy Statement………………………………………………………11 3 The City Council of Bakersfield “City” has established a section 115 Trust known as the City of Bakersfield Section 115 Pension Trust (the “Trust”). This Trust will be used to invest monies to fund the City’s unfunded liability in the California Public Employee Retirement System (“CalPERS”). The City of Bakersfield City Council (“Council”) has given authority to the Plan Administrator to establish and adopt the investment Policy Statement (“Policy Statement”) for the following purposes.

Purpose
Funds set aside in the Section 115 Trust are safeguarded from diversion to other budgetary uses and generally may be invested in a broader range of securities than would typically be permitted for public agency operating funds, potentially increasing earnings. Therefore, higher returns can improve the City’s ability to meet future pension obligations. An additional advantage of holding funds in the Trust rather than contributing an equivalent amount directly to CalPERS is that the City retains control over the timing and amount of disbursements from the Trust. Retaining control of the funds in the Trust provides the flexibility to meet current or accrued liabilities based on the financial circumstances at that time. The City also controls the timing of contributions to the Trust.

The main investment objective of the Trust is to achieve long-term growth of Trust assets by maximizing long-term rate of return on investments and minimizing risk of loss.

The purpose of this Policy Statement is to achieve the following:

1. Document investment objectives, performance expectations, and investment guidelines for Fund assets.

2. Establish an appropriate investment strategy for managing all Trust assets, including an investment time horizon, risk tolerance ranges, and asset allocation to provide sufficient diversification and overall return over the long-term time horizon of the Trust.

3. Establish investment guidelines to control overall risk and liquidity.

4. Establish periodic performance reporting requirements to monitor investment results and confirm that the investment policy is being followed.

5. Comply with fiduciary, prudence, due diligence, and legal requirements for Trust assets.

Investment Authority
The City Council has appointed the Plan Administrator (the “Administrator”) to oversee certain policies and procedures related to the operation and administration of the Trust. The Administrator will have authority to implement the investment policy and guidelines in the best interest of the Trust to best satisfy the purposes of the Trust. In implementing this Policy Statement, the Administrator believes it may delegate certain functions to:
4 1. An investment advisor (“Advisor”) to assist the Administrator in the investment process and to maintain compliance with this Policy Statement. The Advisor may assist the Administrator in establishing investment policy objectives and guidelines. The Advisor will adjust asset allocation for the Trust subject to the guidelines and limitations set forth in this Policy Statement. The Advisor will also select investment managers (“Managers”) and strategies consistent with its role as a fiduciary for the Trust. The investment vehicles allowed may include mutual funds, commingled trusts, separate accounts, limited partnerships and other investment vehicles deemed to be appropriate by the Advisor. The Advisor is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing investment managers; measuring and evaluating performance; and other tasks as deemed appropriate in its role as Advisor for Trust assets. The Advisor may also select investments with discretion to purchase, sell, or hold specific securities, such as Exchange Traded Funds, that will be used to meet the Trust’s investment objectives. The Advisor shall never take possession of securities, cash or other assets of the Trust, all of which shall be held by the custodian. The Advisor must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Statement of Investment Objectives
The investment objectives of the Trust are as follows:

2. To provide for funding and anticipated withdrawals on a continuing basis for payment of benefits and reasonable expenses of operation of the Trust.

3. To enhance the value of Trust assets in real terms over the long-term through asset appreciation and income generation, while maintaining a reasonable investment risk profile. 5 4. Subject to performance expectations over the long-term, to minimize principal fluctuations over the Time Horizon (as defined below).

Investment Guidelines
Within this section of the Policy Statement, several terms will be used to articulate various investment concepts. The descriptions are meant to be general and may share investments otherwise considered to be in the same asset class. They are:
"Growth Assets" - a collection of investments and/or asset classes whose primary risk and return characteristics are focused on capital appreciation. Investments within the Growth Assets category can include income and risk mitigating characteristics, so long as the predominant investment risk and return characteristic is capital appreciation. Examples of such investments or asset classes are:
domestic and international equities or equity funds, private or leveraged equity, certain real estate investments, and hedge funds focused on equity risk mitigation or equity-like returns. "Income Assets" - a collection of investments and/or asset classes whose primary risk and return characteristics are focused on income generation. Investments within the Income Assets category can include capital appreciation and risk mitigating characteristics, so long as the primary investment risk and return characteristic is income generation. Examples of such investments or asset classes are:
fixed income securities, guaranteed investment contracts, certain real estate investments, and hedge funds focused on interest rate risk mitigation or income investment-like returns. "Real Return Assets" - a collection of investments and/or asset classes whose primary risk and return characteristics are focused on real returns, net of inflation. Investments within the Real Return category may include, but are not limited to, inflation protected securities, commodities, certain real estate investments, natural resources, and liquid alternatives.

Liquidity and Diversification
In general, the Trust may hold some cash, cash equivalent, and/or money market funds for near-term Trust benefits and expenses (the “Trust Distributions”). Remaining assets will be invested in longerterm investments and shall be diversified with the intent to minimize the risk of long-term investment 6 losses. Consequently, the total portfolio will be constructed and maintained to provide diversification with regard to the concentration of holdings in individual issues, issuers, countries, governments or industries.

Asset Allocation
The Administrator believes that to achieve the greatest likelihood of meeting the Trust’s investment objectives and the best balance between risk and return for optimal diversification, assets will be invested in accordance with the targets for each asset class as follows to achieve an average total annual rate of return that is equal to or greater than the Trust’s target rate of return over the long-term, as described in the section titled “Performance Expectations”.

Risk Tolerance
7 Subject to investment objectives and performance expectations, the Trust will be managed in a style that seeks to minimize principal fluctuations over the established Time Horizon.

Performance Expectations
Over the long-term, five years or longer, the performance objective for the Trust will be to achieve an average total annual rate of return that is equal to or greater than the blended benchmark target for the Plan. Additionally, it is expected that the annual rate of return on Trust assets will be commensurate with the then prevailing investment environment. Measurement of this return expectation will be judged by reviewing returns in the context of industry standard benchmarks, peer universe comparisons for individual Trust investments and blended benchmark comparisons for the Trust in its entirety.

EQUITIES
No more than 5% of the total equity portfolio valued at market may be invested in the common equity of any one corporation; ownership of the shares of one company shall not exceed 5% of those outstanding; and not more than 40% of Equity valued at Market may be held in any one sector [excluding Mutual Funds and/or ETFs], as defined by Bloomberg (BB) Sector standards.

International Equities. The overall non-U.S. equity allocation should include a diverse global mix that is comprised of the equity of companies from multiple countries, regions and sectors.

9 For purposes of determining an effective rating, when three agencies rate a security (S&P, Moodys, Fitch) the middle rating will be used. When only two of the three agencies rate a security the lower of the two ratings will be used. When only one agency rates a security that rating will be used.

Duration
The manager will maintain the portfolio duration within +/- 25% of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index duration at all times for the individual securities portfolio.

Diversification
 No more than 30% of the portfolio may be invested in securities issued under Rule 144A* without registration rights (no limit on Rule 144a securities with registration rights). * Note: Rule 144A is an administrative rule under the SEC allowing, under certain circumstances, for qualified institutional investors to trade certain securities with other institutional investors without registering the trade with the SEC. Specifically, the rule allows private companies, both domestic and international, to sell unregistered securities, also known as Rule 144 securities, to qualified institution buyers (QIBs) through a broker-dealer.

Public real assets are publicly traded and liquid. The benefit of lower correlation investments is that, when implemented correctly, these investments can potentially improve a portfolio’s expected riskadjusted return over the long-term. The real assets category can be extended to include other forms of assets that offer similar inflation hedging properties such as pooled vehicles holding: commodities contracts, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), index-linked derivative contracts, certain 10 forms of intellectual property, and the equity of companies in businesses thought to hedge inflation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents shall be held in funds complying with Rule 2(a)-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

One example of a hedge vehicle is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) which takes short positions.

Prohibited Investments
Except for purchase within authorized investments, securities having the following characteristics are not authorized and shall not be purchased: letter stock and other unregistered securities, direct commodities or commodity contracts, or private placements (with the exception of Rule 144A securities). Further, derivatives, options, or futures for the sole purpose of direct portfolio leveraging are prohibited. Direct physical/ownership of real estate, natural resource properties such as oil, gas or timber and the purchase of collectibles is also prohibited.

Safekeeping
All assets of the Trust shall be held by a custodian approved by the Administrator for safekeeping of Trust assets. The custodian shall produce statements on a monthly basis, listing the name and value of all assets held, and the dates and nature of all transactions in accordance with the terms in the Trust Agreement. Investments of the Trust not held as liquidity or investment reserves shall, at all times, be invested in interest-bearing accounts. Investments and portfolio securities may not be loaned. 11 Control Procedures
Review of Investment Objectives
The Advisor shall review annually and report to the Administrator the appropriateness of this Policy Statement for achieving the Trust’s stated objectives. It is not expected that this Policy Statement will change frequently. In particular, short-term changes in the financial markets should not require an adjustment in this Policy Statement.

The categories “Other” will be benchmarked against appropriate indices depending on the specific characteristics of the strategies and funds used.

Voting of Proxies
The Administrator recognizes that proxies are a significant and valuable tool in corporate governance.

The voting rights of individual stocks held in separate accounts or collective, common, or pooled funds will be exercised by the investment managers in accordance with their own proxy voting policies. The voting rights of funds will be exercised by the Advisor. 12 Adoption of Investment Policy Statement

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer M. Byers, Economic and Community Development Director DATE: March 12, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing a joint application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) by the city in collaboration with Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) for the Homekey+ Program in an amount not to exceed $35,000,000 to develop Permanent Supportive Housing at 901 Union Avenue (Ward 2)
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

BACKGROUND:

The Homekey+ program is a statewide initiative aimed at developing Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) for veterans and individuals with mental health or substance use disorders who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. PSH is designed to help residents develop independent living skills and connect with community services. Homekey+ funds can be utilized for property acquisition, rehabilitation, conversion of non-residential buildings to residential use, master leasing, and purchasing affordability covenants and restrictions for housing units as well as services. The Homekey+ competitive grant is being administered through the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and $2.145 billion is available statewide for the program.

The City was approached by Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) to be a partner and apply for Homekey+ funding to rehabilitate the city owned Ramkabir Motel located at 901 Union Avenue in Bakersfield, CA. The proposed project includes renovating and converting the existing 37-room motel into PSH units, a community space and offices for services. This project will serve households who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and who face behavioral health challenges. A portion of the units may be set aside for veterans. The proposed application for funds will include both construction costs and service costs over multiple years.

Pursuant to the Homekey+ Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) Section 300. vi. (a), Homekey+ applications must include a duly executed resolution authorizing the entities to apply for funds and to participate in the Homekey+ Program. Adopting the proposed resolution would allow staff to comply with the State’s requirements and expedite application submissions for review and consideration for Homekey+ funding awards. The resolution is set for an amount not to exceed $35,000,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to the General Fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip Burns, Development Services Director
DATE: March 12, 2025
SUBJECT: Property Abatement Resolution for March 2025
Resolution confirming approval by the City Manager designee of the Code Enforcement Manager’s report regarding assessments of certain properties in the City for which structures have been secured against entry or for the abatement of certain weeds, debris and waste matter and the demolishment of dangerous buildings and authorizing collection of the assessments by the Kern County Tax Collector RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adoption of resolution.

BACKGROUND:

Assessment hearing was held on March 10, 2025, by the City Manager designee and all proposed charges were confirmed. The subject properties listed in Exhibit A (attached) were in violation of Chapter 8.27 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining open and abandoned dilapidated structures which constitute public nuisances and prohibits maintaining hazardous weeds, debris, and waste matter and/or were determined to be in violation of Chapter 15.24 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code which prohibits maintaining dangerous buildings. The property owners were notified and failed to comply with the notices to abate such public nuisance. After a hearing duly noticed and held before the Building Director, the Director issued orders requiring the property owner to abate the public nuisance. The subject properties are listed in Exhibit A.

The owners of the listed properties failed to commence the required work as ordered by the Building Director to abate a public nuisance. As permitted under Chapter 8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code, the public nuisances listed in Exhibit A were abated under the direction of the Code Enforcement Manager. The costs incurred by the City can be assessed against the property as provided for in Chapter

8.80 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code. Property owners had been given notice of their right to appear at the hearing on this matter before the City Manager designee and to object to the correctness of the costs incurred by the City to remove the public nuisance. The City Manager designee has approved the assessments associated with the properties.

The Council will need to confirm the approval of the City Manager designee of the costs incurred by the City for work performed to remove the public nuisance and order that such costs be made a lien against the property. This will be done by adoption of the attached resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Results of this action places expenditures for abatements and staff cost recovery on the tax role for each Code case on an individual property where the cost has not been paid. Revenue from this action is received in the future from the County of Kern Tax Collector and placed into the general fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolutions TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Zachary Meyer, Public Works Director
DATE: February 28, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolutions of Intention 2226, 2227, and 2228 to add Areas 5-136, 4-300, and 2-91 to the Consolidated Maintenance District

1. ROI 2226 adding Area 5-136 (1951 Madison Street): Street Tier = 0; Park Tier = 0 (Ward 1)

2. ROI 2227 adding Area 4-300 (2001 Oak Street): Street Tier = 1.5; Park Tier = 1 (Ward 2)

3. ROI 2228 adding Area 2-91 (4730 Armstrong Road): Street Tier = 1; Park Tier = 0 (Ward 6) RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends adopting the resolutions of intention.

BACKGROUND:

Written requests have been received by the City Engineer from the owners of the parcels to be included into the Consolidated Maintenance District as required by section 13.04.021 of the Municipal Code.

Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or street landscaping. For an area where a park has been constructed and/or street landscaping has already been installed, the area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned appropriate tier levels during the next annual update to the consolidated maintenance district. For an area where a park and/or street landscaping has not been installed, the area will be assigned appropriate tier levels when improvements are constructed.

The City of Bakersfield has received a letter from the owners of the properties listed above which waived the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy subdivision requirements. The owners have also submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating their consent to the assessments.

In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor‐Recorder's Office upon approval of these Resolutions.

Staff recommends the new territories be added to the Consolidated Maintenance District at the next City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The revenue from Maintenance Assessment Districts partially supports ongoing maintenance in the districts for the year. There is some General Fund support on an annual basis for the short fall in the CMD revenue collected citywide.

COUNCIL GOAL:

Reliable Infrastructure

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 5-136
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Addition of territory to the Consolidated Maintenance District, as shown in Exhibit "A" is described as 1951 Madison Street and as shown on Map and Assessment Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, as an area within the City of Bakersfield.

Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the Public Works Director makes and files this report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables, benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers; plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways within parks now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement, water, electricity, care, supervision and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which may hereafter be made.

For many years, public parks, public hardscaped and/or landscaped street median and other public street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation of parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.

Additional territory, as shown in Exhibit "B" is being added to the Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public hardscaping and/or landscaping street median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.

All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is defined in Exhibit “C”) per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim/All Urban Consumers Consumer Price EXHIBIT 1
Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until park and/or street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements have been installed. When park and/or street landscape and/or hard-scaping median improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated by the above-described Consumer Price Index.

All parcels as described in the Benefit Formula on file with the City Clerk within the area will be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping and/or hardscaping median improvements are aesthetic enhancement and open space enjoyment.

A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median, and street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though fully set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, I, ZACHARY MEYER, Director of Public Works of the City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget and Assessment Roll as set forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance and operation in said area.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 26, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: CONSENT - Agreements TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Gregory Pronovost, Technology Services Director
DATE: March 14, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreement with Granicus, LLC (not to exceed $172,082.38) for the subscription of a civic engagement SaaS platform called CitySourced RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this agreement
BACKGROUND:

For a decade, the City of Bakersfield has utilized the Bakersfield Mobile app CitySourced for constituent services and civic engagement. This tool allows our citizens to report potholes, encampments, illegal dumping, and more from their computers, tablets, or smartphones.

On December 14, 2022, the City entered into an agreement with RockSolid Technology for a CitySourced subscription. RockSolid has since been acquired by Granicus, LLC.

INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, SALES, OR GOODWILL, HOWEVER CAUSED. THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

22. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. It is expected that one party may disclose to the other party certain information which may be considered confidential or trade secret information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall include: (i) non-public information if it is clearly and conspicuously marked as “confidential” or with a similar designation at the time of disclosure; (ii) non-public information of a party if it is identified as confidential or proprietary before, during, or promptly after presentation and (iii) any information that should be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary to a party, given the nature of the information and the context in which disclosed.

Subject to freedom of information, government transparency, or similar applicable law, each party agrees to receive and hold any Confidential Information in strict confidence. Each party also agrees: (i) to protect and safeguard the Confidential Information against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure; (ii) not to reveal, report, publish, disclose, transfer, copy or otherwise use any Confidential Information except as specifically authorized by the other party; (iii) not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than for performance under this Agreement; (iv) to restrict access to Confidential Information to those of its employees, agents, and contractors who have a need to know, who have been advised of the confidential nature thereof, and who are under express written obligations of confidentiality or under obligations of confidentiality imposed by law or rule; and (v) to exercise at least the same standard of care and security to protect the Confidential Information received by it as it protects its own confidential information. If a party is requested or required in a judicial, administrative, or governmental proceeding to disclose any Confidential Information, it will notify the other party as promptly as practicable so that such party may seek a protective order or waiver for that instance.

Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of either party; (ii) was in a party’s possession before receipt from the other party; (iii) is rightfully received by a party from a third party without any duty of confidentiality; (iv) is independently developed by a party without use or reference to the Docusign Envelope ID: 446B6DD7-A407-4650-81C8-6EC059980153 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR'S AGREEMENT – Over $40,000 Page 11 of 15 S:\Agreements\Citysourced - Granicus\2025\Bakersfield CA - Granicus-Kar Rev 3-4-25.Docx Updated – August 15, 2022
other party’s Confidential Information; or (v) is disclosed with the prior written consent of the Parties.

Each party shall return or destroy the Confidential Information upon written request by the other party; provided, however, that each party may retain one copy of the Confidential Information in order to comply with applicable law. CITY understands and agrees that it may not always be possible to completely remove or delete all Confidential Information from CONTRACTOR’s databases without some residual data.

Disclosing party may be irreparably damaged if the obligations under this section are not enforced and as such may not have an adequate remedy in the event of a breach by Receiving party of its obligations hereunder.

The parties agree, therefore, that Disclosing party is entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, an injunction restraining any actual, threatened or further breaches of the Receiving party’s obligations under this section or any other appropriate equitable order or decree.

withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, CONTRACTOR may assign its rights under this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or voting securities.
