Except for the payment of the Operation and Maintenance Costs, the Revenues shall not be used for any other purpose while any of the Series 2025 Installment Payments remain unpaid; provided that out of the Revenues there may be apportioned such sums for such purposes as are expressly permitted herein. This pledge shall constitute a first lien on Revenues, the Revenue Fund and the other funds and accounts that are created hereunder for the payment of the Series 2025 Installment Payments and all other Contracts and Bonds in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Indenture.

Section 5.02. Allocation of Revenues. In order to carry out and effectuate the pledge and lien contained herein, the City agrees and covenants that all Revenues shall be received by the City in trust hereunder and shall be deposited when and as received in a special fund designated as the "Revenue Fund," which fund is hereby established and which fund the City agrees and covenants to 11 4912-5311-2099v4/022599-0036

maintain and to hold separate and apart from other funds so long as any Installment Payments or Bonds remain unpaid. Moneys in the Revenue Fund shall be used and applied by the City as provided in this Installment Purchase Agreement.

The City shall, from the moneys in the Revenue Fund, pay all Operation and Maintenance Costs (including amounts which are reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Operation and Maintenance Costs, the payment of which is not then immediately required) as they become due and payable. All remaining moneys in the Revenue Fund shall be set aside by the City at the following times in the following respective special funds in the following order of priority, and all moneys in each of such funds shall be held in trust and shall be applied, used and withdrawn only for the purposes hereinafter authorized in this section:
(a) 2025A Bond Payment Fund. On or before each Series 2025 Installment Payment Date, the City shall, from remaining moneys in the Revenue Fund, transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the 2025A Bond Payment Fund an amount that is equal to the interest and principal payable and coming due on the next succeeding Series 2025 Installment Payment Date. The City shall also, from the moneys in the Revenue Fund, transfer to the applicable trustee for deposit in the applicable payment fund, without preference or priority, and in the event of any insufficiency of such moneys ratably without any discrimination or preference, any other Debt Service in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, Bond, resolution or indenture relating thereto.

Any moneys which are on deposit in the 2025A Bond Payment Fund on each Series 2025 Installment Payment Date (other than amounts required for the payment of past due principal or interest with respect to any 2025A Bonds not presented for payment) shall be credited to the payment of the Series 2025 Installment Payments due and payable on such date. No deposit need be made in the 2025A Bond Payment Fund as Series 2025 Installment Payments if the amount in the 2025A Bond Payment Fund is at least equal to the amount of the Series 2025 Installment Payment that is due and payable on the next succeeding Series 2025 Installment Payment Date. (b) Reserve Funds. On or before each Series 2025 Installment Payment Date, the City shall, from remaining moneys in the Revenue Fund, thereafter, without preference or priority, and in the event of any insufficiency of such moneys ratably without any discrimination or preference, transfer to the applicable trustee for deposit to such other reserve fund or account for Bonds or Contracts an amount that is equal to the amount required to be deposited therein. (c) Surplus. Moneys on deposit in the Revenue Fund which are not necessary to make any of the payments which are required above may be expended by the City at any time for any purpose permitted by law or deposited in the Rate Stabilization Fund, if established.

Section 5.03. Additional Contracts and Bonds. The City may at any time execute any Contract or issue any Bonds, as the case may be, in accordance herewith; provided that:
(a) The Net Revenues for any consecutive twelve calendar month period during the eighteen calendar month period preceding the date of adoption by the City Council of the City of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such Bonds or the date of the execution of such Contract, as the case may be, as evidenced by a special report prepared by an Independent Certified Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant on file with the City, shall have produced a sum equal to at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Debt Service for such twelve month period. When calculated for purposes of this subsection, Net Revenues do not include amounts 12 4912-5311-2099v4/022599-0036

transferred from the Rate Stabilization Fund, if established, to the Revenue Fund pursuant to Section 5.05 that are in excess of twenty percent (20%) of Debt Service for such Fiscal Year; and (b) The Net Revenues for any consecutive twelve calendar month period during the eighteen calendar month period preceding the date of adoption by the City Council of the City of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such Bonds or the date of the execution of such Contract, as the case may be, including adjustments to give effect as of the first day of such twelve month period to increases or decreases in rates and charges for the Wastewater Service approved and in effect as of the date of calculation, as evidenced by a special report prepared by an Independent Certified Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant on file with the City, shall have produced a sum equal to at least one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Debt Service for such twelve month period, plus the Debt Service which would have accrued on any Contracts executed or Bonds issued since the end of such twelve month period, assuming that such Contracts had been executed or Bonds had been issued at the beginning of such twelve month period, plus the Debt Service which would have accrued had such proposed additional Contract been executed or proposed additional Bonds been issued at the beginning of such twelve month period. When calculated for purposes of this subsection, Net Revenues do not include amounts transferred from the Rate Stabilization Fund, if established, to the Revenue Fund pursuant to Section 5.05 that are in excess of twenty percent (20%) of Debt Service for such Fiscal Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds issued or Contracts executed to refund Bonds or prepay Contracts may be delivered without satisfying the conditions set forth above if Debt Service in each Fiscal Year after the Fiscal Year in which such Bonds are issued or Contracts executed is not greater than Debt Service would have been in each such Fiscal Year prior to the issuance of such Bonds or execution of such Contracts.

Section 5.04. Investments. All moneys which are held by the City in the Revenue Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments, and the investment earnings thereon shall remain on deposit in such fund, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 5.05. Rate Stabilization Fund. The City is authorized but not required to establish a special fund designated as the "Rate Stabilization Fund." If the City elects to establish a Rate Stabilization Fund, such fund will be held by the City in trust under the Installment Purchase Agreement. The City agrees and covenants to maintain and to hold such fund, if established, separate and apart from other funds so long as any Contracts or Bonds remain unpaid. Money transferred by the City from the Revenue Fund to the Rate Stabilization Fund, if established, in accordance with Section 5.02(c) will be held in the Rate Stabilization Fund and applied in accordance with the Installment Purchase Agreement.

The City may withdraw all or any portion of the amounts on deposit in the Rate Stabilization Fund, if established, and transfer such amounts to the Revenue Fund for application in accordance with Section 5.02 or, in the event that all or a portion of the Series 2025 Installment Payments are discharged in accordance with Article VII, transfer all or any portion of such amounts for application in accordance with Article VII. Any such amounts transferred from the Rate Stabilization Fund, if established, to the Revenue Fund in accordance with the Indenture constitute pledged Revenues. 13 4912-5311-2099v4/022599-0036

(a) Private Activity. The City will take no action or refrain from taking any action, and the City will make no use of the proceeds of the 2025A Bonds or of any other moneys or property, which would cause the 2025A Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code;

This section and the covenants that are set forth herein shall not be applicable to, and nothing that is contained herein shall be deemed to prevent the City from causing the Authority to issue revenue bonds or issuing bonds or executing and delivering contracts that are payable on a parity with the 2025A Bonds, the interest with respect to which has been determined to be subject to federal income taxation.

(a) if default shall be made by the City in the due and punctual payment of any Series 2025 Installment Payment or any Contract or Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable;
(b) if default shall be made by the City in the performance of any of the agreements or covenants which are required herein to be performed by it, and such default shall have continued for a period of sixty (60) days after the City shall have been given notice in writing of such default by the Authority; or
(c) if the City shall file a petition or answer seeking arrangement or reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America or any state therein, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition filed with or without the consent of the City seeking arrangement or reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America or any state therein, or if under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the City or of the whole or any substantial part of its property; or 19 4912-5311-2099v4/022599-0036

(d) if payment of the principal of any Contract or Bond is accelerated in accordance with its terms;
then and in each and every such case during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Authority shall, by notice in writing to the City, declare the entire principal amount of the unpaid Series 2025 Installment Payments and the accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. This section, however, is subject to the condition that if at any time after the entire principal amount of the unpaid Series 2025 Installment Payments and the accrued interest thereon shall have been so declared due and payable, but before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the City shall deposit with the Authority an amount that is sufficient to pay the unpaid principal amount of the Series 2025 Installment Payments or the unpaid payment of any other Contract or Bond referred to in clause (1) above due prior to such declaration and the accrued interest thereon, with interest on such overdue installments, at the rate or rates applicable to the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Series 2025 Installment Payments or such Contract or Bond if paid in accordance with their terms, and the reasonable expenses of the Authority, and any and all other defaults known to the Authority (other than in the payment of the entire principal amount of the unpaid Series 2025 Installment Payments and the accrued interest thereon due and payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or cured to the satisfaction of the Authority or provision deemed by the Authority to be adequate shall have been made therefor, then and in every such case the Authority, by written notice to the City, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon.

Section 8.02. Application of Funds Upon Acceleration. Upon the date of the declaration of acceleration as provided in Section 8.01, all Revenues thereafter received by the City shall be applied in the following order:

First, to the payment, without preference or priority, and in the event of any insufficiency of such Revenues ratably without any discrimination or preference, of the fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its assigns and thereafter to the Authority, as the case may be, in carrying out the provisions of this article, including reasonable compensation to their respective accountants and counsel;
Second, to the payment of the Operation and Maintenance Costs; and Third, to the payment of the entire principal amount of the unpaid Series 2025 Installment Payments and the unpaid principal amount of all Bonds and Contracts and the accrued interest thereon, with interest on the overdue installments at the rate or rates of interest applicable to the Series 2025 Installment Payments and such Bonds and Contracts if paid in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 8.03. Other Remedies of the Authority. The Authority shall have the right:
(a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its rights against the City or any director, officer or employee thereof, and to compel the City or any such director, officer or employee to perform and carry out its or his or her duties under the laws of 20 4912-5311-2099v4/022599-0036

the State of California and the agreements and covenants required to be performed by it or him or her contained herein;
(b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights of the Authority; or
(c) by suit in equity upon the happening of an Event of Default to require the City and its directors, officers and employees to account as the trustee of an express trust.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Authority shall have no security interest in or mortgage on the 2025 Project, the 2018 Project, the Wastewater System or other assets of the City and no default hereunder shall result in the loss of the 2025 Project, the 2018 Project, the Wastewater System or other assets of the City.

Section 8.04. Non -Waiver. Nothing in this article or in any other provision hereof shall affect or impair the obligation of the City, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Series 2025 Installment Payments to the Authority at the respective due dates or upon prepayment from the Net Revenues, the Revenue Fund and the other funds herein pledged for such payment, or shall affect or impair the right of the Authority, which is also absolute and unconditional, to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied herein.

A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Authority shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach of duty or contract. No delay or omission by the Authority to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any default or breach of duty or contract shall impair any such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any such default or breach of duty or contract or an acquiescence therein, and every right or remedy that is conferred upon the Authority by the laws of the State of California or by this article may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Authority.

If any action, proceeding or suit to enforce any right or exercise any remedy is abandoned or determined adversely to the Authority, the City and the Authority shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such action, proceeding or suit had not been brought or taken.

Section 8.05. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy that is conferred upon or reserved to the Authority herein is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the laws of the State of California or any other law.

The Escrow Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Escrow Bank's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The City agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Escrow Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Escrow Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

This Agreement is made for the benefit of the City, the Authority and the owners from time to time of the Defeased Bonds and it shall not be repealed, revoked, altered or amended without the written consent of all such owners, the Escrow Bank, the Insurer and the City; provided, however, that if the City and the Escrow Bank receive an opinion of nationally recognized bond attorneys to the effect that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the 2018 Bonds and the 2025 Bonds will not be adversely affected thereby, they may, without the consent of, or notice to, such owners, but with the consent of the Insurer, amend this Agreement or enter into such agreements supplemental to this Agreement as shall not materially adversely affect the rights of such owners and as shall not be inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for any one or more of the following purposes: (i) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this Agreement; (ii) to grant to, or confer upon, the Escrow Bank for the benefit of the owners of the Defeased Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers or authority that may lawfully be granted to, or conferred upon, such owners or the Escrow Bank; (iii) to include under this Agreement additional funds, securities or properties (but only if the sufficiency of the Escrow Fund for the purpose herein set forth is verified by a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants) and shall hold funds received by it uninvested. The Escrow Bank shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an unqualified opinion of nationally recognized municipal bond attorneys with respect to compliance with this Section 9, including the extent, if any, to which any change, modification, addition or elimination affects the rights of the owners of the Defeased Bonds or that any instrument executed hereunder complies with the conditions and provisions of this Section 9.

Within one year after a vacancy, the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Defeased Bonds then remaining unpaid may, by an instrument or instruments filed with the City, appoint a successor Escrow Bank who shall supersede any Escrow Bank theretofore appointed by the City. If no successor Escrow Bank is appointed by the City or the owners of such Defeased Bonds then remaining unpaid, within 45 days after any such resignation or removal, the Escrow Bank may petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Bank. The responsibilities of the Escrow Bank under this Escrow Agreement will not be discharged until a new Escrow Bank is appointed and until the cash and investments held under this Escrow Agreement are transferred to the new Escrow Bank.

SECTION 11. Severability. If any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph, sentence, clause or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

If, after the date of this Purchase Agreement and until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the end of the "underwriting period" (as defined in Rule 15c2-12) (the "Underwriting Period"), or (ii) twenty-five (25) days following the end of the Underwriting Period if the Official Statement is available to any person from the MSRB as contemplated by Rule 15c2 -12(b)(4), any event shall occur or circumstance shall exist of which the Authority or the City have knowledge that would cause the Official Statement to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Authority or the City, as the case may be, shall notify the Underwriter (and for the purpose of this Section provide the Underwriter with such information as it may from time to time reasonably request), and, if in the opinion of the City, the Authority or the Underwriter such event or circumstance requires the preparation and publication of a supplement or amendment to the Official Statement, the Authority and the City will, at their expense, supplement or amend the Official Statement in a form and manner jointly approved by the City, the Authority and the Underwriter and furnish to the Underwriter a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or amendment provided that the Underwriter agrees that it will promptly notify the Authority and the City of the end of the Underwriting Period.

4. At 8:30 a.m., Pacific Time, on [Closing Date], or at such other time or date as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter, Authority and the City (such time and date being herein referred to as the "Closing Date"), the Authority will deliver to the Underwriter, at a location or locations to be designated by the Underwriter, the Bonds in book -entry form (all Bonds having had the CUSIP numbers assigned to them thereon), duly executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, and the other documents herein mentioned; and the Underwriter will accept such delivery and pay the purchase price of the Bonds as set forth in Section 1 of this Purchase Agreement in immediately available funds (such delivery and payment being herein referred to as the "Closing").

Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Trustee in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company.

It is anticipated that CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to provide such numbers nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute a cause for failure or refusal by the Underwriter to accept delivery of the Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Purchase Agreement.

5. A. The Underwriter agrees to assist the Authority in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Authority at Closing an "issue price" or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Authority and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds.

B. Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, the Authority will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the "10% test") is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the Authority the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Authority the prices at which it sells the unsold 4

Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriter has sold all Bonds of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Underwriter's reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Authority or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds.

C. The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the "initial offering price"), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit A also sets forth, as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the Underwriter represents that (i) the 10% test has been satisfied (assuming orders are confirmed by the close of the business day immediately following the date of this Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Authority and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Authority to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the "hold -the -offering -price rule"). So long as the hold -the -offering -price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
a. the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or b. the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.

The Underwriter will advise the Authority promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.

D. The Underwriter confirms that:
(i) any selling group agreement and any third -party distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement, as applicable:
(A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter and (ii) to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter,
5

(B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker -dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker -dealer is a sale to the public.
(ii) any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer, and (B) comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.

E. The Authority acknowledges that, in making the representation set forth in this section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a third -party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker -dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Authority further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker -dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering - price rule, if applicable to the Bonds.

F. The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section.

Further, for purposes of this section:
a. "public" means any person other than an underwriter or a related party;
b. "underwriter" means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Authority (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to 6

participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third -party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public);
c. a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a "related party" to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and
d. "sale date" means the date of execution of this Purchase Agreement by all parties.

6. The Underwriter represents to and agrees with the Authority and the City that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
(i) The Underwriter is duly authorized to execute this Purchase Agreement and to take any action under this Purchase Agreement required to be taken by it; (ii) The Underwriter is in compliance with MSRB Rule G-37 with respect to the Authority and the City, and is not prohibited thereby from acting as the underwriter with respect to securities of the Authority and the City;
(iii) The Underwriter has, and has had, no financial advisory relationship, as that term is defined in California Government Code Section 53590 (c) or MSRB Rule G-32, with the City with respect to the Bonds, and no investment firm controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Underwriter have or has had any such financial advisory relationship; and
(iv) The Underwriter has reasonably determined that the undertaking to provide continuing disclosure with respect to the Bonds pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Agreement is sufficient to effect compliance with Rule 15c2-12.

7. The Authority represents, warrants and covenants to the Underwriter that:
(a) The Authority is a joint exercise of powers authority duly organized and validly existing pursuant to the laws of the State of California and has all necessary power and authority to enter into and perform its duties under the Indenture, the Installment Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and this Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Authority Documents") and, when executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto, the Authority Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Authority in accordance with their respective terms.
7

(b) Neither the execution and delivery of the Authority Documents, or the approval and execution of the Official Statement, and compliance with the provisions on the Authority's part contained therein, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, conflicts with or constitutes a breach of or default under nor contravenes any law, administrative regulation, judgment, decree, loan agreement, indenture, bond, note, resolution, agreement or other instrument to which the Authority is a party or is otherwise subject, nor does any such execution, delivery, adoption or compliance result in the security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Authority under the terms of any such law, administrative regulation, judgment, decree, loan agreement, indenture, bond, note, resolution, agreement or other instrument, except as provided by the Authority Documents.
(c) Except as may be required under blue sky or other securities laws of any state, there is no consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or filing with, or certification by, any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Authority required for the execution and delivery of the Bonds or the consummation by the Authority of the other transactions contemplated by the Official Statement and this Purchase Agreement.
(d) To the best of the knowledge of the Authority, there is, and on the Closing there will be, no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court or governmental agency or body pending or threatened against the Authority to restrain or enjoin the delivery of any of the Bonds, or the payments to be made pursuant to the Indenture, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Authority Documents or of the Authority to enter into the Authority Documents or contesting the powers of the Authority to perform its obligations under any of the foregoing or in any way contesting the powers of the Authority in connection with any action contemplated by this Purchase Agreement, or in any way questioning or challenging the tax status of the Bonds.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Doug Story, Community Services Director
DATE June 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Adopt the Parks and Community Services Master Plan Description Capital Improvement Project P-17 — Parks and Community Services Master Plan.

Background and Analysis:

In 2023, the City of Beaumont initiated the development of a Parks and Community Services Master Plan in response to the City's continued growth and increasing demand for quality parks, recreational programming, and equitable public space access. The purpose of the plan is to establish a clear, community -driven roadmap to guide decision - making for park improvements, facility development, programming enhancements, and long-term investment priorities over the next decade.

The planning process included a robust series of community engagement activities, facility evaluations, and data collection efforts, culminating in a final plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of Beaumont residents.

Key Elements of the Planning Process:
• Statistically Valid Survey: 416 households responded to a city-wide survey, representing a 95% confidence level with a ±4.7% margin of error. The survey revealed:
o 60% of residents rate Beaumont parks as "Excellent" or "Good" (compared to 79% nationally)
o 74% of residents rate the quality of programs as "Excellent" or "Good" (national average: 80%)
o 43% participated in a city program in the past year (above the national average of 32%)
o Barriers to participation included lack of awareness (33%), being too busy (28%), and inconvenient times (16%)

• Park and Facility Assessments: Each park was evaluated on condition, accessibility, safety, maintenance, and user experience using a standardized 0-5 scale. This helped identify both deficiencies and high -performing sites. • Equity Mapping and Level of Service Analysis: Advanced GIS mapping tools were used to identify underserved areas and guide recommendations for equitable park access and service distribution.
• Public Engagement: The planning process was guided by community feedback gathered through in -person events, stakeholder interviews, and a statistically valid survey. Outreach emphasized inclusivity and representation across all demographic groups.
• Recommended Improvement Plan (RIP): Based on the needs assessment and public input, the plan outlines priority projects and improvements over the next 10 years to address critical gaps and enhance community offerings.

Mission, Vision, and Values:

The Master Plan process also included an update to the department's guiding principles:
• Mission: To Elevate Community
• Vision: Parks with Purpose. Recreation with Heart. Community at the Core. • Core Values: Teamwork, Innovation, Inclusion, Service Excellence On April 28, 2025, staff presented key findings of the Parks and Community Services Master Plan to the Parks and Recreation Committee. Based on the feedback received and the comprehensive analysis conducted, it is now staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the Parks and Community Services Master Plan as presented.

The Parks and Community Services Master Plan will provide a strategic framework to guide the Community Services Department in future planning, programming, capital improvement prioritization, and resource allocation. The plan will serve as a foundational document to support community needs, enhance recreational opportunities, and position the City to pursue and remain competitive for grant funding.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost to prepare this staff report is estimated to be $580.

Funding for this project was provided through Capital Improvement Project No. P-17.

There is no further immediate fiscal impact, however, this document outlines plans for the City's future investments and capital improvement projects for the City. The implementation of this plan will be contingent upon the City's ability to allocate and secure funding to execute the recommended improvements and projects.

The Community Profile provides critical insights into the demographic, economic, and environmental characteristics of Beaumont, helping to shape responsive and equitable parks and recreation strategies.

1.3.1 LIVABILITY AND ACCESS
• Beaumont's overall cost of living is 27% above the national average but remains more affordable than most of California.
• Only 48% of residents live within a 10 -minute walk of a park (vs. 55% national median). • A Tree Equity Score of 61 reveals significant canopy gaps —particularly in neighborhoods with higher percentages of residents of color.

1.3.2_ fFMnGPAPII
• Rapid growth: population rose at 3.76% annually (2010-20) and is projected to reach 71,805 by 2038.
• Youthful profile: ages 0-17 and 35-54 will each represent -25% of the population in 15 years.
• Majority -minority city: non-White populations now exceed White Alone, and Hispanic/Latino share is -44% (projected to reach 48%). 11 7. 7. IPOrriR/Ar AM In 7irThOHITv
• Per capita income ($35,995) trails state and national averages, but median household income ($94,398) is higher —reflecting larger household sizes. • Lower rates of poverty (8.8%) and uninsured families (7.5%) than state/national averages. • Higher foreign -born (17.4%) and non -English-speaking households (32.6%) point to a need for multilingual outreach.

1.3.4 P -CREATION TREADS
• Above -average Market Potential Index (MPI) for most sports, fitness, and commercial recreation activities (e.g., golf 115; Zumba 116; mountain biking 117). • Recreation spending also exceeds national norms, signaling strong demand for equipment and programming.

1.3.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Access Gap: Less than half of Beaumont residents have a park within a 10 -minute walk, underscoring a need for new pocket parks and trail connections.

Canopy Inequity: Disparities in tree cover disproportionately affect communities of color — planting and maintenance must be prioritized in underserved areas.

Family & Youth Focus: With large percentages of children and mid -career adults, programming should emphasize family -friendly, youth, and intergenerational offerings.

Cultural Relevance: Beaumont's growing Hispanic/Latino and foreign -born populations call for inclusive, bilingual communications and culturally tailored programs.

Economic Resilience: High household incomes but moderate individual earnings suggest opportunity to fund user -fee programs while ensuring affordability for lower -income households.

Active Lifestyles: Strong local interest in a broad range of sports and fitness activities supports expanding courts, trails, and specialized facilities (e.g., pickleball, rock -climbing walls).

Strategic Equity: Future investments should balance systemwide needs (acres, facilities) with targeted equity interventions —especially tree canopy, park proximity, and multilingual outreach.

INTERVIEWS & FOCUS GROUPS
2 PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS
To guide a Parks & Community Services Master Plan rooted in community needs, the City of Beaumont conducted a robust public input process involving over 800 voices from across the community. Engagement efforts included 23 key leader interviews and focus groups, two public forums, an online community survey, and a statistically valid survey conducted by ETC Institute.

Collectively, this process ensured that a wide range of perspectives shaped the City's vision for its parks, programs, and facilities.

1.4.1 WHAT WE HEARD
Across all engagement formats, five consistent themes emerged:
• Strong community pride in parks and programs: Residents praised the City's small-town feel, signature events, and well -used, family -friendly spaces. • Demand for expanded facilities: There is clear interest in building new amenities — including a community center with a pool, additional sports courts, and shaded picnic areas —to serve a growing population.
• Commitment to inclusion and identity: Stakeholders voiced the importance of making parks welcoming for all ages and cultures, and leveraging parks to build community identity.

• Maintenance and staffing standards: Residents and staff alike identified a need for improved maintenance standards, safety enhancements, and sustainable staffing models. • Desire for a clear, future -focused plan: Many participants emphasized the need for a long-term, visionary roadmap that aligns with Beaumont's growth and ensures lasting impact.

1.4.2 KEY 1-INDING5 BY Ivlt I Y�C�Le
• Key Leader Interviews and Focus Groups highlighted the City's strong partnerships, dedicated staff, and inclusive programming, while also emphasizing the need for new infrastructure, improved maintenance, and better long-range planning. • Public Community Forums revealed a community that actively uses its parks (82% visit weekly), but identified a lack of amenities and restrooms as major barriers. Residents expressed high interest in adult recreation, sports courts, and beautification, while strongly preferring digital outreach through social media and the City website. • Statistically Valid Survey (ETC Institute) found that 81% of households visited a park or facility in the past year and 43% participated in a program. Top unmet facility needs included shade/trees, large community parks, and splash pads. Top unmet program needs included adult fitness/wellness, cultural events, and 50+ activities. The highest funding priorities were improving existing parks and building trails, with 44% of respondents supporting increased funding.
• Online Community Survey mirrored many of the statistically valid survey's results, but tended to overrepresent newer and female residents. It echoed similar priorities around maintenance, expanded programs, and better communication.

1.4.3 KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Beaumont residents are highly engaged and value their park system. Across all input methods, people expressed a deep appreciation for community events, facilities, and staff.
• Facility expansion and equity are essential. A new community center and better geographic access to parks are top priorities, especially west of the Chatigny Recreation Center.
•
• There is strong alignment between what the community values and what it's willing to support. Residents expressed openness to increased funding for the right investments. • Clear communication and inclusive planning are critical. Participants expect to be kept informed and want programs that reflect the City's growing diversity.

This Master Plan must meet the moment. As Beaumont grows, the City has a unique opportunity to build a park system that reflects its evolving identity, fosters belonging, and enhances quality of life for all.

• High Community Demand for Wellness and Enrichment: Adult fitness and wellness programs, community events, 50+ activities, swim lessons, and exercise classes received the highest priority ratings from residents, reflecting strong interest in health, cultural enrichment, and lifelong recreation.
• Strong Emphasis on Inclusivity: Beaumont offers 100% of programs as All Abilities, exceeding national benchmarks and reinforcing its commitment to accessibility. Most offerings are multigenerational, with Senior Services providing targeted engagement for older adults.
• Balanced Program Portfolio with Growth Opportunities: Nearly half (46%) of offerings are new or rising, demonstrating innovation and responsiveness. However, higher -than - average rates of declining (11%) and cancelled (12%) programs suggest opportunities for refinement and reallocation of resources.
• Significant Investment in Community -Oriented Programming: Programs classified as Community Benefit (44%) and Community -Individual Blend (44%) dominate the City's portfolio. Individual Benefit programs make up only 13%, well below the national average, indicating potential to expand specialized, fee -based offerings. • Subsidy -Heavy Cost Recovery Model: Fully subsidized programs comprise 68% of offerings, with no current self-sufficient or revenue -generating programs. While this supports access, diversifying funding strategies is essential for long-term sustainability.

• Strong Staff Leadership with Partnership Potential: Staff -directed programs make up 57% of offerings, showing strength in internal delivery. However, Cooperative programs account for just 6% (compared to a 19% national average), suggesting room to strengthen partnerships with nonprofits, businesses, and regional partners. • Marketing and Digital Engagement Needs Expansion: Social media engagement is strong for events and cultural celebrations, but limited video use, inconsistent interactivity, and underutilization of channels like YouTube and blogs present opportunities to deepen community connection. Website upgrades —such as online registration and interactive maps —would further improve accessibility.
1„7 vr-7Y TAME Vc"
Beaumont excels at delivering inclusive, multigenerational programming rooted in community values.
• There is a clear opportunity to expand skill -based, fee -supported, and revenue - generating programs to diversify funding.
• Refining declining offerings and leveraging cooperative partnerships will enhance program variety and reach.
• Modernizing digital communication and improving online tools will strengthen community engagement and convenience.

Together, these findings provide a roadmap for growing a resilient, accessible, and future -ready recreation system that continues to reflect the needs and spirit of Beaumont.

1.6 PARK AND FACILITY EVALUATIONS
The evaluation of park assets within the City of Beaumont is a cornerstone of our strategic planning and maintenance scheduling efforts. Each park and its amenities are carefully assessed through thorough field observations by our dedicated staff, resulting in a comprehensive grading based on current conditions. This systematic process ensures that we understand the performance of individual assets, rather than evaluating the park system as a whole.

Our evaluation process uses a qualitative grading scale, complemented by numerical scores, to reflect both the quantity and quality of recreational opportunities available. This approach facilitates transparent prioritization for repairs, upgrades, and future enhancements. Each park is rated consistently and comparatively against similar facilities across the system.

Service area maps and standards allow the City of Beaumont to assess how parks and recreation amenities are distributed across the community and whether they align with population density and neighborhood needs. These maps are based on recommended levels of service for each park and amenity type and help identify areas that may be underserved or oversupplied.

By comparing geographic access to population -based standards, the City can pinpoint gaps in service and make informed decisions about future investments. This ensures that capital improvement efforts not only address system -wide needs but also promote equitable access to parks and facilities for all residents. The different service area rings highlight the reach of various providers, reflecting the broader network of resources available to the Beaumont community.

The Parks and Community Services Recommended Park Improvements Plan (PRIP) for Beaumont serves as a strategic framework for prioritizing, funding, and delivering critical infrastructure and facility projects that enhance the city's livability, sustainability, and long-term growth. This plan focuses on targeted investments in parks, recreational amenities, community centers, and public spaces to meet the evolving needs of Beaumont's diverse and growing population.

A key component of the PRIP is the alignment of available financial resources to support these improvement projects. Beaumont utilizes a variety of existing funding sources to make these initiatives possible, including:

General Fund, DIF-CPARK, DIF-REC, DIF-RPARK, PROP 68, CFD (STD), CFD-255, CFD-510, and various Grant opportunities.

Through the strategic use of these resources, the City ensures responsible fiscal management while advancing projects that promote environmental stewardship, community wellness, and economic vitality. As Beaumont continues to thrive, this Recommended Improvements Plan provides a clear and actionable roadmap for creating vibrant public spaces and strengthening community infrastructure —today and for future generations.

To provide greater clarity and transparency, the PRIP is organized into three distinct categories:

1. Projects that are planned and have secured funding

2. Projects that are planned but not yet funded

3. Projects that have been completed in the last several years

1.9 REVENUE AND FUNDING STRATEGIES
As Beaumont grows, so too does the need for a sustainable and diversified funding model to support parks, recreation programs, and public spaces. The City's Community Services Department currently utilizes a wide range of funding strategies that provide a strong foundation for both operational stability and capital investment.

1.9.1 CURRENT FUNDING STRENGT
• Diverse Revenue Sources: Beaumont successfully leverages a mix of corporate sponsorships, recreation fees, facility rentals, advertising, development impact fees (DIF), and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) to fund services and infrastructure. • Grant Success: The City has secured significant external funding through programs like the Land & Water Conservation Fund, CDBG, Proposition 68, and others to support major projects such as Stewart Park and 3 Rings Park.
• Cost -Efficient Partnerships: Public -private partnerships and volunteer engagement help reduce staffing costs while expanding offerings.
• Stable Operational Support: CFDs and facility and field rental income provide consistent, predictable funding for park maintenance and operations.

1.10 CONCLUSION
The Beaumont Parks & Community Services Master Plan is a bold, community -rooted roadmap for the future of parks, recreation, and community services in one of California's fastest -growing cities. Built on a foundation of inclusive engagement, data -informed planning, and forward - thinking strategy, this Plan reflects the collective aspirations of residents, staff, and stakeholders who care deeply about Beaumont's quality of life.

Central to this planning process was a collaborative visioning effort —an opportunity for City staff to realign around shared values, reaffirm their purpose, and chart a new course for the future.

The result was a revitalized mission: To Elevate Community, and a vision that puts people at the center: Parks with Purpose. Recreation with Heart. Community at the Core. These statements are more than words —they represent a promise to build a system that is welcoming, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of every resident.

The visioning process also led to the creation of the Plan's five Big Moves, which collectively address the most pressing needs and greatest opportunities for growth:
• Expand and improve recreation facilities
• Increase staffing and workforce development
• Enhance community engagement and events
• Improve infrastructure and maintenance
• Secure sustainable funding and investment
These priorities are not hypothetical —they are grounded in the voices of more than 800 residents who participated in interviews, forums, and surveys throughout the planning process.

Across all methods of engagement, the message was clear: Beaumont is ready for its next chapter. Residents want more access to high -quality parks and facilities, more diverse programs for all ages, and a system that reflects their values of equity, connection, and inclusion.

As the City prepares for continued growth, this Plan provides a clear and actionable path forward —one that balances bold aspirations with practical solutions. With sustained leadership, community partnership, and intentional investment, Beaumont's parks and community services can continue to elevate the everyday lives of its people —today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

CHAPTER TWO COMMUNITY PROFILE

2.1 OVERVIEW
A key component of the Parks and Community Services Master Plan ("Plan") is a Community Profile. The purpose of this analysis is to provide the Community Services Department ("Department") with insight into the community it serves. It also helps quantify the market in and around the City of Beaumont ("City") and assists in providing a better understanding of the types of parks, facilities, programs, and services that are most appropriate to equitably address the residents' needs.

2.2 LIVABILITY AND ACCESS
The community profile report prioritizes a thorough evaluation of the city's livability and accessibility. This involves analyzing the cost of living, assessing how close residents live to parks, and determining tree equity in the city. By examining these factors, we gain valuable insights into how parks and recreation offerings impact the city's overall quality of life. These findings also serve as a guide for future strategic planning and development aimed at improving accessibility and enriching the living conditions for all residents.

2.2.1 COST OF LIVI"
The cost -of -living index is a measure of how expensive it is to live in a particular area or city compared to another area or city. The index is typically calculated by comparing the prices of a basket of goods and services, such as housing, transportation, food, healthcare, and utilities in different locations. You can see the detailed information at https://www.best
olaces.net/cost of living/city/california/beaumont
The national cost -of -living index in
the United States (US) is set at 100,
and the cost -of -living index for a
specific city or region is typically
reported as a percentage of the
national average.

For example, the overall cost -of -
living index for Beaumont is 127.2,
which means that it is 27.2% more

The Trust for Public Land firmly believes that
every person residing in U.S. cities should have
access to a high -quality park that is located
within a 10 -minute walking distance from their
home. To make this vision a reality, in
partnership with the National Recreation and
Park Association and the Urban Land Institute,
they launched the "10 -Minute Walk Program"
aimed at helping cities expand access to green
spaces for all.

The Trust for Public Land has conducted
research, which has revealed that parks that
cater to predominantly people of color are, on
average, only half the size of parks that
primarily serve white populations.

Despite their smaller size, these parks serve
nearly five times as many people. Additionally,
parks that primarily serve low-income
households are, on average, four times smaller
than parks that serve high -income households.
48%
of Beaumont residents
live within a
10 -minute walk
of a park.

National Median 55%
The current statistics indicate that 48% of the residents of Beaumont have a park within a 10 - minute walk from their homes. This percentage is moderately lower than the national median of 55%. Additional information about the "10 -Minute Walk Program" can be found at:

2.2.3 TREE EQUITY
Tree Equity is a framework used by
cities to evaluate how fairly tree
canopy is distributed across
neighborhoods, particularly in
communities that have historically
lacked investment in green
infrastructure. The Tree Equity Score
is calculated at the Census Block
Group level using a range of
indicators —including existing tree
canopy, urban heat island effects,
income, race/ethnicity, and population
density —to help identify areas where
tree planting efforts can have the
greatest impact.

Scores are then aggregated to assess
overall performance at the city level. A
higher score indicates more equitable
access to the benefits of tree cover,
Tree Equity Score: 61
Mount [Yaws
such as shade, air quality, and mental health benefits.

The City of Beaumont currently has a Tree Equity Score of 61. This is below both the national average of 82 and the California state average of 79, suggesting that while some areas of Beaumont benefit from strong canopy coverage, others —often more vulnerable or underserved—lack adequate tree resources.

The City of Beaumont currently has a tree
equity score of 61. Of the 16 block groups in
Beaumont:
• 14 have a tree equity score below 75.
• 3 have a tree equity score below 50.
• 1 has a tree equity score above 80.

Neighborhoods in Beaumont with a higher
proportion of residents of color typically exhibit
lower tree equity scores, indicating they have
less tree canopy coverage. (Figure 4)

2.3.1 METHODOLOGY
The analysis used demographic data from two sources: the U.S. Census Bureau and Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), a research and development organization specializing in Geographical Information Systems and population projections. The data was obtained in July 2023 and reflects the actual numbers reported in the 2020 Census and information available as of July 2023. ESRI used this data to estimate the current population in 2023, as well as a 5 -year projection for 2028. The consulting team used straight-line linear regression to forecast demographic characteristics for 10 and 15 -year projections in 2033 and 2038.

The City has a median age of 38.3 years, which is nearly one year younger than the national median age of 39.1. Looking ahead, the population is projected to maintain its youthful character over the next 15 years. By 2038, the age groups of 0-17 and 35-54 are expected to make up the highest percentage (25%) of the population. In response to this demographic trend, the Department will need to prioritize initiatives and activities that cater to families, youth, and intergenerational engagement. This will ensure that the needs and interests of these age segments are effectively met.

RACE AND ETHNICITY DEFINITIONS
The minimum categories for data on race and ethnicity for Federal statistics, program administrative reporting, and civil rights compliance reporting are defined below. The Census 2020 data on race are not directly comparable with data from the 2010 Census and earlier censuses; therefore, caution must be used when interpreting changes in the racial composition of the US population over time. The latest (Census 2020) definitions and nomenclature are used within this analysis.
• American Indian - This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment
• Asian - This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam • Black or African American - This includes a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa
• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander - This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands • White - This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa
• Hispanic or Latino - This is an ethnic distinction, a subset of a race as defined by the Federal Government; this includes a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race Census states that the race and ethnicity categories generally reflect social definitions in the U.S. and are not an attempt to define race and ethnicity biologically, anthropologically, or genetically.

We recognize that the race and ethnicity categories include racial, ethnic, and national origins and sociocultural groups."
Please Note: The Census Bureau defines Race as a person's self -identification with one or more of the following social groups: White, Black, or African American, Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, some other race, or a combination of these. While Ethnicity is defined as whether a person is of Hispanic / Latino origin or not. For this reason, the Hispanic / Latino ethnicity is viewed separate from race throughout this demographic analysis.

2.3.4 RACE
The City's population is majority -minority meaning that the combined percentage of all non- White racial categories are higher than that of White Alone. This is a rapid shift over a 10 -year period from the 2010 Census to the 2020 Census where the population has diversified rapidly with the White Alone population reducing from 64% of the population to 45% with all other groups increasing.

Though each non-White category is expected to increase over the next 15 years, Some Other Race (23%) and Two or More Races are expected to have second highest percentages (22%), behind White Alone (34%) by 2037.

As per the current 2023 estimate,
approximately 44% of the City's population
consists of people who have
Hispanic/Latino origin which is significantly

2.3.6 INCOME
The City has a per capita income of $35,995, which is lower than both the state average ($45,201) and the national average ($40,363). However, the median household income is $94,398, which is higher than both the state median household income ($89,455) and the national median household income ($72,414). This difference is likely because the average household size in the City is 3.17, which is higher than the state average of 2.85 and the national average of 2.55. This means that even though the individuals within the household may not earn a lot individually, the overall household income is larger due to the larger number of people contributing.

It is important to understand that per capita income refers to the income earned by each individual, while median household income is calculated based on the total income of all individuals over the age of sixteen living in the same household.

2.4 RECREATIONAL TRENDS
The Trends Analysis offers insights into recreational trends at the national, regional, and local levels, as well as recreational interests segmented by age. This analysis utilizes data on trends sourced from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI). The trends data used in this analysis is based on participation rates that are current or historical and NRPA Park Metrics.

LOU,' SP`RT AND LEISURE MARKET
ESRI provided the following charts depicting
sports and leisure market potential data for
Beaumont residents. The Market Potential Index
(MPI) is utilized to measure probable demand for
a product or service within defined service areas.

MPI scores display the likelihood that an adult
resident will partake in certain activities when
compared to the national U.S. average. The
activities that residents participate in do not
necessarily have to be within the city's
boundaries. The national average is set at 100, so
scores below 100 indicate lower -than -average
participation rates, while scores above 100
indicate higher -than -average participation rates.

The service area is evaluated against the national
average across four categories: general sports,
fitness, outdoor activity, and commercial
recreation.

It is important to note that MPI metrics represent only one data point used to help determine community trends. Programmatic decisions should not be solely based on MPI metrics.

The following charts compare MPI scores for 46 sport and leisure activities prevalent for residents in the City. The activities are grouped by type and listed in descending order, from highest to lowest MPI score. Index numbers of 100 or higher hold significance as they indicate a greater likelihood that residents within service areas will actively participate in those Department offerings. Conversely, below -average MPI scores suggest lower levels of participation in specific activities.

2.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS - OVERALL

2.5.1 LIVABILITY AND ACCESS
Cost of Living: While the cost of living is higher than the national average, it's lower than the state average. While this may draw new residents seeking affordability within the state, the cost can still be tough for lower earners, leading to financial strain.

Public Space & Tree Equity: Less than half of residents live within a 10 -minute walk of a park, and neighborhoods where 60% or more of the population are people of color have unequal tree coverage compared to the rest of the city. These issues present opportunities for improving park accessibility and tree coverage in Beaumont.

2.5.2 DEMOGRAPHICS
Population & Age: The city's population is growing at a rate significantly higher than the national average and is predicted to reach around 71,805 by 2038. The city's median age is lower than the national average, and a large portion of the population falls into the 0-17 and 35-54 age groups. Therefore, initiatives that cater to families, youth, and intergenerational engagement will likely be effective and necessary along with a general increase in overall levels of service offerings to meet the needs of the growing population.

Race & Ethnicity: The city has a diverse population with a majority of residents identifying as non-White, and a significant percentage of the population is of Hispanic/Latino origin. The city's future policies and offerings should consider these demographic trends to ensure inclusivity and cultural sensitivity.

Income: Despite the city's per capita income being lower than the state and national averages, the median household income is higher, likely due to larger household sizes. This suggests that many households may have sufficient income for discretionary spending, such as on sports and recreational activities.

At -Risk Populations: The city has a higher proportion of foreign -born residents and non-English speakers at home compared to the national average, but fewer people in poverty or without health insurance. This information can help shape supportive social services and inclusion efforts with a focus on multilingual outreach and culturally relevant offerings. nr,"' !FrpF V NIA! "rnr!Nr)c-
Recreational Activity Participation: Residents show above -average potential participation (as measured by Market Potential Index, MPIs) in various sports, fitness, and commercial recreational activities. Despite some outdoor activities having MPIs below the national average, this overall participation suggests a community interest in a range of physical activities.

Recreational Spending: Residents also spend above -average amounts on sports and recreational equipment, indicating that the community values these activities and that there could be an opportunity to support or enhance local sports and recreation businesses.

2 PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS
The City of Beaumont is growing —and so are the needs and expectations for parks, recreation, and community services. As part of the Parks & Community Services Master Plan, the City launched a comprehensive public input process to ensure that the voices of residents, staff, and key stakeholders directly shape the future of Beaumont's parks, programs, and facilities.

This Public Input Summary brings together feedback collected through key leader interviews and focus groups, two public community forums, an open online survey, and a statistically valid community survey. Each method was designed to engage a wide range of perspectives and ensure that the Master Plan reflects the priorities, values, and aspirations of the Beaumont community.

What emerged from this process is clear: Beaumont residents care deeply about quality parks and programs, value strong community connections, and are eager to see continued investment in spaces and services that promote health, inclusion, and quality of life. This summary highlights the common themes, ideas, and opportunities that will guide the City in developing a Master Plan rooted in community priorities and ready to serve Beaumont for years to come.

3.1 KEY LEADER INTERVIEWS & FOCUS GROUPS
As part of the City of Beaumont's commitment to community -driven planning, 23 key leader and stakeholder interviews and focus groups were conducted to gather in-depth, qualitative insights from those who know the community best. Participants included City leadership, community partners, organizational leaders, and representatives from schools, service organizations, and local advocacy groups.

These conversations provided valuable context around the role of parks and community services in Beaumont's growth, the challenges facing residents and service providers, and the vision stakeholders hold for the future. Participants shared honest feedback about current strengths, identified critical gaps, and emphasized strategic priorities ranging from equity and access to staffing, maintenance, and future facility development.

The input from these sessions complements broader community feedback and adds depth to the Master Plan's foundation. The themes that emerged serve as a bridge between policy, practice, and lived experience —ensuring the plan reflects both data and real -world perspectives.

Community Events and Small -Town Feel
Signature events like Concerts in the Park and the 4th of July celebrations were frequently praised. These gatherings reinforce a strong sense of community, bring residents together, and contribute to Beaumont's welcoming, small-town atmosphere.

Staff and Leadership Commitment
Interviewees noted the dedication of City staff and leadership, including a management team actively evaluating what's needed to deliver services effectively. The staff's work ethic and outreach efforts were seen as essential to the department's success.

Well -Used and Kid -Friendly Facilities
Participants consistently referenced how well the community utilizes existing facilities.

Comments also pointed to the City's family -friendly environment, investments in shade structures, and the development of the first universally accessible playground as signs of inclusive design and usability.

Strong Community Partnerships
The City's collaboration with community organizations —particularly sports leagues like AYSO and other local partners —was noted as a significant strength. These relationships help deliver a wide range of recreation opportunities and reinforce a sense of shared ownership and impact.

Concerns about vandalism, lack of maintenance standards, insufficient staffing, and outdated infrastructure (such as the city yard) were frequently cited. Interviewees emphasized the need for more consistent upkeep, tools and staffing support, and improved safety measures — particularly at the Sports Park.

Program and Amenity Diversity
Leaders highlighted the need for a broader range of programs and amenities that serve all age groups —not just kids. Desired additions included adult sports, non -senior adult activities, trails, BMX and mountain bike facilities, and niche amenities like disc golf and volleyball courts.

Community Identity, Inclusion, and Ownership
There was a strong desire to cultivate a sense of community ownership and identity around parks. Participants emphasized inclusivity, arts and culture, and the potential for parks and recreation to become a defining part of Beaumont's culture —especially as the City grows.

Growth and Long -Term Planning
Several comments focused on preparing for Beaumont's projected growth to 80,000 residents.

There is a need to build out facilities and services accordingly, with thoughtful planning around parking, connectivity, and destination -quality amenities to draw both residents and visitors.

3.1.3 TOP PRIORITY OUTCOh
Future -Focused Planning and Growth Management
Stakeholders emphasized the need for a long-range, visionary plan that prepares Beaumont for anticipated population growth and evolving community needs. Priorities included setting a strong foundation, building a guiding document, and ensuring the plan is representative, adaptable, and built to support future generations.

New and Expanded Facilities
A new community center —particularly one located west of the CRC —was the most frequently mentioned facility need. Desired features include a pool, theater/auditorium, multiuse gym space, and fitness areas. These comments reflect a clear priority to invest in expanded infrastructure to meet growing demand.

Sustainable Operations and Maintenance
There was a strong call for a sustainable maintenance and staffing strategy, including a formal equipment replacement plan, improved city yard capacity, and mechanisms to ensure long-term upkeep of facilities. Adequate staffing and the right tools were highlighted as essential to service quality and efficiency.

Safety and Beautification
Ensuring safety —especially through lighting, sightlines, graffiti prevention, and public restrooms— was identified as a core outcome. At the same time, leaders voiced support for keeping Beaumont clean, welcoming, and beautiful as the city grows and attracts more residents and visitors.

Program Diversity and Access
From fitness classes to cultural events and recreational sports, there is a desire to expand offerings across age groups and interest areas. Leaders see programmatic growth as central to meeting community needs and increasing engagement with Beaumont's parks and facilities.

3.2 PUBLIC COMMUNITY FORUMS
As part of the City of Beaumont's inclusive engagement efforts, two Public Community Forums were held in October 2023 to involve residents in shaping the Parks & Community Services Master Plan. These sessions offered participants a chance to learn more about the planning process, ask questions, and share their perspectives in real time.

To ensure broad participation and interactive input, the City used live polling technology through Mentimeter. This allowed attendees to respond to key questions, prioritize outcomes, and voice their ideas using mobile devices. The feedback collected through these polls provided meaningful insights into the community's desires, including calls for expanded facilities, improved amenities, greater program diversity, and a clear roadmap for future development. ? 11 01 !p1 C !C31114 Dn1 1 !Mr- !.?1-r'1'!

As part of the City of Beaumont's Parks & Community Services Master Plan engagement process, two Public Community Forums were held in October 2023. Participants provided real- time feedback through live polling using Mentimeter, allowing staff to gather measurable insights on community needs, preferences, and priorities. The results reflect a highly engaged community with clear expectations for the future of Beaumont's parks and recreation system.

Frequency of Use
A strong majority of participants -82% —reported using Beaumont parks, trails, or recreation facilities at least weekly. An additional 6% use them two to five times per year, while 12% visit once per year or less. Notably, no respondents indicated monthly, occasional, or no use at all, reinforcing how essential and well -utilized these public spaces are by the community.

Facility and Program Quality
When asked to rate the quality of services provided by the Beaumont Community Services Department, 71% of participants rated them positively -7% as "Excellent" and 64% as "Good." An additional 29% rated them as "Fair," while no respondents selected "Poor." These results suggest that while services are generally well -regarded, there is room for continued improvement to elevate the overall experience.

Access and Proximity
While 63% of participants reported living within a 10 -minute walk of a park or trail, a significant portion -31% —said they do not, and another 6% were unsure. Despite a majority having geographic access, the primary mode of transportation to parks was overwhelmingly by car, with 88% indicating they drive. Only 6% walk and another 6% bike to their nearest park. These results suggest opportunities to enhance park connectivity and walkability, particularly as the community grows.

Barriers to Use
When asked to identify the top barriers preventing greater use of Beaumont's parks, programs, and facilities, the most frequently cited issues were related to infrastructure and awareness. The top response —selected by 58% of participants —was a lack of amenities in parks and centers, followed by lack of awareness of offerings (42%) and lack of restrooms (37%). Other notable barriers included lack of parking (21%), being too busy (16%), and limited wayfinding signage for trails and open space (16%). Safety, cost, and transportation were not identified as major concerns in this forum, suggesting the need to focus efforts on physical improvements and clearer communication.

Communication Preferences
Participants indicated a strong preference for digital communication methods when learning about Beaumont Community Services programs and updates. Social media was the top choice, selected by 83% of respondents, followed by the City's website (67%) and both email and the City News & Online Recreation Guide at 44% each. Printed materials like banners and posters were less popular (22%), and word of mouth was not selected by any respondents. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining a strong, consistent digital presence across platforms to effectively reach the community.

Program and Facility Interests
Community members expressed the strongest interest in sports -related amenities and adult recreation opportunities. The most frequently selected facilities were sports courts (such as basketball, pickleball, and tennis), chosen by 61% of participants, followed by adequate lighting (56%), aquatic features (33%), and open space/trails (33%). Indoor sports complexes (28%) and indoor recreation centers (17%) also ranked as priorities, while dog parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas received no selections.

On the programming side, adult sports (58%) emerged as the top area of interest, followed by arts and culture (32%), aquatics (26%), and fitness and wellness (26%). Other areas such as 50+ activities (21%), performing arts (21%), and outdoor recreation (21%) also showed moderate interest. Notably, teen programming and youth sports received relatively little interest from forum participants, indicating a stronger focus on adult and all -ages offerings.

Top Priority Outcomes
When asked to identify their top desired outcome from the Master Plan, responses focused on:
• Establishing a clear, future -focused plan to guide decisions • Building new facilities, including a community center with a pool and auditorium • Completing ongoing projects like Stewart Park and pickleball courts • Enhancing beautification and park safety
• Supporting community gathering spaces, such as a weekly farmers market Together, these insights underscore the community's strong support for an inclusive, accessible, and forward -thinking park system —one that grows alongside Beaumont and serves all ages and abilities for years to come.

3.3 STATISTICALLY -VALID SURVEY
ETC Institute administered a parks and recreation needs assessment survey for the City of Beaumont, California during the winter and spring of 2024. The purpose of the survey was to help determine parks and recreation priorities for the community. • "7THO'''OLOGY
ETC Institute mailed a survey packet to a random number of households in Beaumont area. Each survey packet contained a cover letter, a copy of the survey, and a postage -paid return envelope.

Residents who received the survey were given the option of returning the survey by mail or completing it online at beaumontsurvey.org.

After the surveys were mailed, ETC Institute followed up with residents to encourage participation. To prevent people who were not residents of Beaumont from participating, everyone who completed the survey online was required to enter their home address prior to submitting their survey. ETC Institute then matched the addresses entered online with the addresses originally selected for the random sample. If the address from a survey completed online did not match one of the addresses selected for the sample, the online survey was not included in the final database for this report.

The survey aimed to collect a minimum of 400 completed responses from residents, and this target was surpassed with 416 completed surveys collected. The overall results for the sample of 416 residents have a precision of at least +/-4.79% at the 95% level of confidence.

The major findings of the survey are summarized in the following pages.

3.3.7 FACILITIES/AMENITIES NEEDS AND PRIORITIES
Facility Needs: Respondents were asked to identify if their household had a need for 30 facilities and to rate how well their needs for each were currently being met. Based on this analysis, ETC Institute was able to estimate the number of households in the community that had the greatest "unmet" need for facilities.

The three facilities with the highest percentage of households that have an unmet need:

1. Shade & trees -13,553 households

2. Large community parks -13,324 households

3. Shaded picnic areas & shelters -13,275 households
Facility Importance: In addition to assessing the needs for each facility, ETC Institute also assessed the importance that residents placed on each item. Based on the sum of respondents' top four choices, these were the four facilities that ranked most important to residents:

1. Multi -use hiking, biking, walking trails (30%)

2. Outdoor swimming pool (24%)

3. Community center (24%)

4. Splash pads or spray parks (21%)
Priorities for Facility Investments: The Priority Investment Rating (PIR) was developed by ETC Institute to provide organizations with an objective tool for evaluating the priority that should be placed on recreation and parks investments. The Priority Investment Rating (PIR) equally weighs (1) the importance that residents place on facilities and (2) how many residents have unmet needs for the facilities. Based the Priority Investment Rating (PIR), the following facilities were rated as high priorities for investment:
• Multi -use hiking, biking, walking trails (PIR=184)
• Splash pads or spray parks (PIR=172)
• Outdoor swimming pool (PIR=172)
• Restrooms (PIR=154)
• Shaded picnic areas & shelters (PIR=147)

3.4 SURVEY COMPARISON ANALYSIS
This Survey Comparison Report presents a side -by -side analysis of two key data sources gathered during the Beaumont Parks & Community Services Master Plan process: the ETC Statistically Valid Survey and the Online Community Survey administered through SurveyMonkey.

These surveys were designed to collect meaningful input from Beaumont residents and park users regarding their experiences, preferences, and priorities related to the City's parks, programs, and community services. The ETC Statistically Valid Survey, administered with a methodologically sound and representative sampling approach, provides results that are statistically reliable and reflective of the broader community. In contrast, the Online Community Survey offered an open - access opportunity for any interested stakeholder to participate, encouraging wider engagement and more diverse individual input.

By comparing findings across both tools, this analysis identifies consistent themes, differences in perspectives, and unique insights that emerged from each method. This comprehensive approach ensures that both statistically grounded results and broader community voices are considered as Beaumont plans for the future of its parks and community services.

The following shows a side -by -side comparison of key results from each survey by question.

FuII results from the Statistically Valid Survey can be found in the APPENDIX A.

Full results from the Online Community Survey can be found in the APPENDIX B. .4.1 L MU kAPHVL.

In the demographic section of this report, we analyze the community demographics served by the Department based on responses from the ETC Statistically Valid Survey and the Online Community Survey via SurveyMonkey. Due to ETC's approach of random sampling and ensuring a 95% level of confidence and a margin of error of +/- 5%, their survey results more accurately reflect the community's demographics and are statistically reliable in comparison to online -only surveys.

We examine respondent demographics such as gender, tenure in Eastvale, and race/ethnicity to gain insights into the community's composition. Our findings are compared with the 2023 demographic estimates from The Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) to understand how the survey data aligns with broader demographic trends.

Full demographic data can be found in Section 2.3.

The ETC Statistically Valid Survey closely mirrors Beaumont's actual gender demographics, with 50% of respondents identifying as female and 49% as male, aligning closely with the City's ESRI demographic profile of 51% female and 49% male. Additionally, 1% of ETC respondents identified as non -binary or self -describe, adding an inclusive dimension not represented in the baseline demographic data.

In contrast, the SurveyMonkey Online Community Survey significantly overrepresents female respondents at 73% and underrepresents male respondents at 26%. While it also includes 1% non-binary/self-describe responses, the overall distribution skews heavily toward female participation.

These findings suggest that the ETC survey provides a more balanced and demographically representative snapshot of the community by gender, while the open online format of the SurveyMonkey tool may have introduced response bias due to self-selection.

The SurveyMonkey Online Community Survey tends to overrepresent newer residents, with 41% of respondents indicating they've lived in Beaumont for 0-5 years, compared to 26% in the ETC Statistically Valid Survey. In contrast, the ETC Survey reflects a more balanced distribution across longer -term residency groups.

For the 6-10 year category, both surveys align closely at 20%, suggesting consistent representation of mid-term residents. The 11-15 year group shows a modest gap, with 15% in the ETC Survey versus 11% in the SurveyMonkey responses.

Differences become more apparent in the longer residency ranges. Among those who have lived in Beaumont for 16-20 years, the ETC Survey reports 17%, compared to only 10% in the SurveyMonkey data. The 21-30 year category shows a slight drop-off in both, though the ETC Survey still leads at 9% compared to 7%.

In the 31+ years category, the ETC Survey again reflects a higher proportion (12%) than the SurveyMonkey survey (9%).

Overall, these findings indicate that while the SurveyMonkey tool effectively engages newer residents, the ETC Survey captures a broader and more representative range of residency durations in Beaumont —ensuring input from both recent arrivals and long-established community members.

The ETC Statistically Valid Survey more accurately reflects Beaumont's racial and ethnic demographics than the SurveyMonkey Online Survey, which skews toward White, non -Hispanic respondents. For example, 33% of ETC respondents identified as White Alone, compared to 45% in ESRI data, while the SurveyMonkey survey overrepresented this group at 70%. The ETC Survey also closely aligned with the City's Hispanic population at 47%, compared to 42% in ESRI, whereas SurveyMonkey significantly underrepresented this group at 24%. Representation of Black, Asian, and American Indian residents was more balanced in the ETC data, while SurveyMonkey results showed consistent underrepresentation. Overall, the ETC Survey provides a more inclusive and demographically accurate picture of Beaumont's community.
