CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: March 3, 2022
From: Lisa Macias, Police Chief
Subject: Adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy
Recommendation:
City Council waive first reading and introduce (and then adopt on March 17) the attached uncodified ordinance adopting the Police Department’s Military Equipment Use Policy in accordance with state law.
Background
On September 30, 2021, Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), was signed in law, relating to the use of military equipment by law enforcement agencies. AB 481, codified at California Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires law enforcement agencies, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquiring or using military equipment, have the governing body of the local jurisdiction at a regular meeting held pursuant to open meeting laws, adopt, through an ordinance, a Military Equipment Use Policy.
California Government Code §7070(d) describes a Military Equipment Use Policy as a publicly released, written document that includes, at a minimum, all of the following:
1. A description of each type of Military Equipment, the quantity sought, its capabilities, expected lifespan, and product descriptions from the manufacturer of the Military Equipment.
2. The purposes and authorized uses for which the law enforcement agency or the state agency proposes to use each type of Military Equipment.
3. The fiscal impact of each type of Military Equipment, including the initial costs of obtaining the equipment and estimated annual costs of maintaining the equipment.
4. The legal and procedural rules that govern each authorized use.
5. The training, including any course required by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, that must be completed before any officer, agent, or employee of the law enforcement agency or the state agency is allowed to use each specific type of Military Equipment to ensure the full protection of the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties and full adherence to the Military Equipment use policy.
6. The mechanisms to ensure compliance with the Military Equipment use policy, including which independent persons or entities have oversight authority, and, if applicable, what legally enforceable sanctions are put in place for violations of the policy.
7. For a law enforcement agency, the procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of Military Equipment, and how the law enforcement agency will ensure that each complaint, concern, or question receives a response in a timely manner.
California Government Code § 7070(c) defines Military Equipment as any of the following:
1. Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles. 15 E.
Adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy Page 2 of 4
2. Mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or armored personnel carriers. However, police versions of standard consumer vehicles are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
3. High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), commonly referred to as Humvees, two and one-half-ton trucks, five-ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached. However, unarmored all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and motorized dirt bikes are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
4. Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion.
5. Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units.
6. Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind.
7. Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature. However, items designed to remove a lock, such as bolt cutters, or a handheld ram designed to be operated by one person, are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
8. Firearms of .50 caliber or greater. However, standard issue shotguns are specifically excluded from this subdivision.
9. Ammunition of .50 caliber or greater. However, standard issue shotgun ammunition is specifically excluded from this subdivision.
10. Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including assault weapons as defined in Sections 30510 and 30515 of the Penal Code, with the exception of standard issue service weapons and ammunition of less than .50 caliber that are issued to officers, agents, or employees of a law enforcement agency or a state agency.
11. Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles.
12. "Flashbang" grenades and explosive breaching tools, "tear gas," and "pepper balls," excluding standard, service-issued handheld pepper spray.
13. Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD).
14. The following projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions: 40mm projectile launchers, "bean bag," rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition (SIM) weapons.
15. Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require additional oversight.
16. Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) through (15), "Military Equipment" does not include general equipment not designated as prohibited or controlled by the federal Defense Logistics Agency.
Discussion
The Police Department has prepared and published the attached Military Equipment Use Policy, embodied in Police Department General Order 709. The Policy contains all the required elements of Government Code section 7070 (d) set forth above. California Government Code section 7071(b) requires that the Police Department post to its website the Military Equipment Use Policy that it plans to propose to City Council, at least 30 days prior to any public hearing concerning the policy, for any comments, questions or concerns from the public. The Police Department complied with this requirement by posting the policy being proposed this evening on our website on January 30, 2022. As of the time this agenda report is published, February 25, 2022, we have not received any comments, 16 E.
Adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy Page 3 of 4 questions or concerns from the public on the Policy. The Policy references two types of qualifying equipment.
Section One lists qualifying equipment that is owned and/or utilized by the Brisbane Police Department.
Section Two lists qualifying equipment that is not owned or regularly utilized by the Brisbane Police Department, but which is known to be owned and/or utilized by law enforcement units with which the Brisbane Police Department collaborates and/or participates for law enforcement purposes. The Brisbane Police Department participates in a regional Special Weapons and Tactics team, North Central Regional Response Team (NCR). NCR possesses and utilizes additional types of equipment that is not owned, purchased or maintained by the Brisbane Police Department but is included in the proposed Military Equipment Use Policy as it could be used in the City of Brisbane if NCR SWAT is deployed in extreme circumstances such as an active shooter incident, hostage situation and the execution of highrisk search and arrest warrants.
In order for the City Council to approve and adopt this Policy, the Council must make certain determinations as follows:
1. The military equipment identified in Brisbane Police General Order 709 is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety.
2. Brisbane Police General Order 709 will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
3. The military equipment identified in Brisbane Police Department General Order 709 is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safe.
In addition, pursuant to California Government Code 7070(d)(6), and in accordance with California Government Code 7072m, the Police Department is responsible for delivering to the City Council an Annual Military Equipment Report as a mechanism to ensure the Brisbane Police Department is in compliance with this Military Equipment Use Policy. The report will also assist the City Council in determining whether to approve, revise, or revoke components of the Military Equipment Use Policy for the subsequent year. The annual report will be made publicly available on the Police Department’s website. The Annual Military Equipment Report will include the following information for the immediately preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment:
1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
3. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response.
4. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report.
5. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. 17 E.
Adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy Page 4 of 4
6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
Moreover, pursuant to California Government Code §7070(d)(7), the proposed Military Equipment Use Policy also provides the avenues through which members of the public may register complaints, concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of Military Equipment in the policy.
They can do so via email, physical mail or by phone to our designated Military Equipment Use officer, Commander Mario Garcia.
In addition, the Police Department will have on its website (under “Military equipment” policies and procedures concerning enforcement of the Ordinance and remedies for violations. For example, although there is no private right of action for any person or entity to seek injunctive relief against the City or any employee unless that person or entity has first provided written notice to the City Manager regarding the specific alleged violations of this Ordinance, if, following the submission of a violation, the City does not remedy a specific alleged violation within 90 days of that written notice, a person or entity may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Moreover, if the City substantiates and then cures an alleged violation, the Police Department shall post a notice in a conspicuous manner on the Department’s website that describes, to the extent permissible by law, the corrective measures taken to address the violation. If the City does not substantiate or cure an alleged violation and, in a subsequent court action the person or entity proves that the violation occurred as a result of arbitrary or capricious action by the City or an employee of the City acting in the employee’s official capacity, the Court may award to such person or entity reasonable attorney’s fees in an amount not to exceed $15,000.
For the reasons set forth in this agenda report and in the Policy itself, Council may make these determinations and introduce ordinance X.XX (to be adopted on March 17) to approve and adopt the military equipment use policy as set forth in the Police Department’s General Order 709.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in adopting this ordinance and the military equipment use policy. ____________________________ ______________________________ Lisa Macias, Police Chief Clay Holstine, City Manager

Disposable Foodware Ordinance Amendment Page 1 of 3
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: March 3, 2022
From: Adrienne Etherton, Sustainability Manager
Subject: Disposable Foodware Ordinance Amendment
Community Goal/Result
Ecological Sustainability - Brisbane will be a leader in setting policies and practicing service delivery innovations that promote ecological sustainability Purpose
Align the City’s Disposable Foodware Ordinance with the County of San Mateo’s in response to new state laws.
Recommendation
Introduce an Ordinance, waiving first reading, repealing Chapter 8.19 of the Brisbane Municipal Code and adopting a new chapter 8.19 regulating the use of disposable food service ware by food facilities to align with state law.
Background
In April 2021, the City Council passed Ordinance 660 to extend regulations passed by the County of San Mateo on the use of disposable foodware within the City of Brisbane. The effective date of that regulation was March 25, 2022.
In 2018, California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 1884 requiring that full-service restaurants only provide single-use plastic straws upon consumer request only. The State expanded on this law by passing AB 1276 on October 5, 2021. Under AB 1276, food facilities must go beyond just plastic straws and require consumers to request additional foodware accessories such as utensils, stirrers, splash sticks, and condiment packets. The State also directed local governments to authorize an enforcement agency to enforce these statutes by June 1, 2022.
The law, however, does not provide a specific implementation date. Furthermore, AB 1276 allows local governments to adopt more restrictive requirements at their discretion.
On October 5, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 1200, which prohibits the sale or distribution of single-use foodware comprised of paper or other plant-based natural fiber that contains intentionally added PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances). This law goes into effect on January 1, 2023. The new legislation does not direct a specific entity to be the enforcement agency.
The County of San Mateo adopted an ordinance on February 8, 2022 to update their ordinance in alignment with these new state laws, and the City must now follow suit so the County may continue to enforce these regulations within our jurisdiction. 1 28
F.
Disposable Foodware Ordinance Amendment Page 2 of 3
Discussion
The City and County’s prior Ordinances include provisions that are well aligned with many of the requirements in AB 1276 and AB 1200, however, some discrepancies exist.
To align with the new state requirements of AB 1276, the following changes are recommended:
Current Ordinance
Requirement
New AB 1276 Requirement Change to Local Ordinance
All food facilities may offer
single-use foodware
accessories to consumers.
Food facilities can offer
single-use foodware
accessories only at drivethroughs and public airports.
Amended so that only food
facility drive-throughs and
food facilities at public
airports can offer accessories
to consumers.
Food facilities may distribute
foodware accessories using
dispensers and have them
available at self-serve areas,
including in open
bins/containers for
consumers to grab-and-go.
Open bins/containers are
not allowed for distribution
of accessories. Consumers
must request them from the
employee and/or food
facilities may have them
available at refillable
dispensers that dispense
accessories one at a time.
Amended so that food
facilities cannot have
available accessories in open
bins/containers at self-serve
areas for consumers to graband-go, and explicitly state that dispensers can only
dispense accessories one
item at a time.
Food facilities are not
prohibited from using selfserve, refillable bulk
condiment dispensers (there
is no reference to bulk
condiment dispensers in the
existing Ordinance).
Food facilities are explicitly
allowed to use self-serve,
refillable bulk condiment
dispensers to distribute
condiments.
Amended to explicitly allow
for use of refillable bulk
condiment dispensers.
The PFAS requirements in AB 1200 go into effect on January 1, 2023 and supersede those of the existing Ordinance. Therefore, the recommendation is to sunset the local PFAS requirements on December 31, 2022. The City and County will look to the State to assume responsibility for implementing and enforcing the new requirements starting on January 1, 2023.
The amendment also changes the enforcement start date from March 25, 2022 to October 1, 2022 to align with the County and provide additional time for food facilities to come into compliance with the new state requirements, especially those associated with AB 1276.
The City and County adopted an MOU in 2021 for the County to lead enforcement of the disposable foodware ordinance. County staff has indicated that the existing MOU can continue to be utilized since the intent of the MOU along with the expectations and roles of the City and County have not changed.

ORDINANCE NO. XXX
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BRISBANE
REPEALING CHAPTER 8.19 OF THE BRISBANE MUNICIPAL CODE
AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 8.19 REGULATING THE USE OF
DISPOSABLE FOOD SERVICE WARE BY FOOD FACILITIES
TO ALIGN WITH NEW STATE LAWS
The City Council of the City of Brisbane hereby ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings.
The City Council finds and determines that:
A. This Council adopted Ordinance No. 590 prohibiting the use of polystyrene based disposable food service ware by food vendors in November 2014.
B. This Council repealed and replaced City Ordinance No. 590 with Ordinance No. 660, also known as the “Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance,” hereafter referred to as the “Ordinance,” on April 15, 2021. The Ordinance focuses on reducing single-use plastic and other food service ware waste, improving the health and safety of Brisbane community members, and helping the city keep its waterways clean and safe.
C. The Ordinance went into effect in May 2021, with the mandatory provisions scheduled to become operative and subject to enforcement on March 25, 2022.
D. On October 5, 2021, AB 1276 was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. AB 1276 restricts the distribution of single-use foodware accessories (e.g., utensils, straws, stirrers, condiment packets, etc.) by restaurants and other food facilities.
E. On October 5, 2021, AB 1200 was also signed into law by the Governor. AB 1200 mandates that no person shall distribute, sell, or offer for sale in the state any food packaging (including single-use foodware) that contains regulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
F. The Ordinance includes requirements that are well aligned with many of the requirements on foodware in AB 1276 and AB 1200. However, some discrepancies exist. As such, the Ordinance must be amended to ensure alignment with requirements in both State bills.
G. This Council does, accordingly, find and declare that it should repeal and replace in its entirety Chapter 8.19 of the Brisbane Municipal Code to ensure the City’s requirements around single-use foodware accessories distribution and PFAS regulation in single-use foodware align with the State of California’s requirements. 4 Attachment 1

§8.19.070 – Case-by-Case Consideration of Requests for Hardship Exemption.

An exemption from any of the provisions of this Chapter may be granted by the County Manager or designee upon demonstration by a Food Facility to the satisfaction of the County that strict application of the requirements would cause undue hardship. An “undue hardship” includes, but is not limited to the following:
1. A situation unique to the Food Facility where a suitable alternative that conforms with the requirements detailed in Section 8.19.040 A, B, D, and E does not exist for a specific application.
10 37
F.
Ordinance No. xxx 8
2. Imposing the provisions of this Chapter would cause significant economic hardship. “Significant economic hardship” may be based on, but not limited to, demonstrating that suitable Disposable Food Service Ware is not available at a commercially reasonable price and the additional cost associated with providing the Disposable Food Service Ware is particularly burdensome to the Food Facility based on the type of operation(s) affected, the overall size of the business/operation, the number, type and location of its facilities, the impact on the overall financial resources of the Food Facility, and other factors.
Reasonable added cost for a suitable item as compared to a similar item that the Food Facility can no longer use shall not by itself constitute adequate grounds to support an exemption for such item. In determining whether a significant economic hardship has been established, the County Manager or designee may consider the following information: ability of the Food Facility to recover the additional expense by increasing its prices; the availability of tax credits and deductions; outside funding; and other options.
B. Request for an exemption. A request for an exemption from the requirements of this Chapter shall include all information deemed necessary by the County to render a decision, including but not limited to documentation showing the factual support for the requested exemption. A request for an exemption may be approved by the County Manager or designee, in whole or in part, with or without conditions. The duration of the exemption, if granted, shall also be determined by the County Manager or designee. Information about the application process for requesting an exemption will be made available to the public by the Office of Sustainability.
§8.19.080 – Enforcement.
A. The San Mateo County Manager or designee is hereby authorized to enforce, on behalf of the City of Brisbane, this Chapter and any amendments thereto, within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Brisbane as set forth in Section 4.107.090 of the County of San Mateo Ordinance Code. Such enforcement authority includes, but is not limited to, the authority to hold hearings, issue citations, and assess administrative fines for violations of this Chapter within the geographical limits of the City of Brisbane.
B. A violation of this Chapter is an infraction and is also punishable by administrative fines as set forth in San Mateo County Code of Ordinances Chapter 1.40.
C. Compliance plan.
1.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: March 3, 2022
From: Abby Partin, Human Resources Administrator
Subject: Adopt Resolutions to Update Hourly Pay Scale and Amend the Master Pay Schedule.
Community Goal/Result
Fiscally Prudent
Purpose
To meet the new state minimum wage effective January 1, 2022 and to ensure the community continues to receive excellent service by retaining and attracting exceptional employees in a financially prudent manner.
Recommendation
We recommend the City Council adopt the resolutionsto update the Hourly Pay Scale and amend the Master Pay Schedule.
Background and Discussion
On April 4, 2016, the California Legislature approved legislation amending the minimum wage phase-in requirements. This requires the minimum wage to be $15.00 per hour effective January 1, 2022. This change affects four classifications: Cashier, Crossing Guard, Recreational Leader Aide and Special Assistant, which includes starting rates currently below the $15.00 per hour rate. Details regarding these classifications are as follows:
• The Cashier is a classification generally used for temporary or limited duration assignments for the Parks and Recreation Department, to assist in the swim center programs and provide customer service to the public.
• The Crossing Guard is a classification for the Police Department, to ensure safety of elementary age students and involves face-to-face contact with children and parents. • The Recreation Leader Aide is the entry-level position for the Parks and Recreation department, typically filled by high school students to assist with after school programs, summer camps and various city events.
Staff recommends that the current starting salary for all three classifications (Step A) move from $13.78 to $15.00 per hour. In addition, our pay structure typically requires a 5% difference between steps. Because of this, staff is recommending to also adjust the second through fifth salary steps (Steps B through E) as appropriate to keep the 5% differential between steps. • The Special Assistant is a classification generally used for temporary, limited duration assignments and/or special projects. The current starting salary is proposed to move 42 G.
Adopt Resolutions to Update the Hourly Pay Scale and Amend the Master Pay Schedule Page 2 of 2 from $12.00 to $15.00 per hour. As the Special Assistant is a salary range instead of steps, there is no further adjustment necessary.
• The Habitat Restoration Aide is a former grant funded classification which staff does not foresee hiring in the future as we currently still have the Habitat Restoration Lead Worker classification. Staff recommends deleting the position from the Hourly Pay Scale.
Fiscal Impact
In the past year, employees classified as Recreational Leader Aide worked a total of 912.25 hours.
Increasing the rate from $13.78 an hour to $15.00 an hour means, the City will pay an additional $1,200 a year including taxes. The Crossing Guard works 534 hours per year, with a salary change from $15.27 (Step C) to $16.54 (Step C), the incumbent will receive approximately $750 more per year. Affected employees will receive retroactive pay to comply with the State’s minimum wage requirements, with a grand total of $1,232.95. The costs are included in the adopted budget for fiscal year 2021-22.
Measure of Success
The City is able to maintain a stable and high quality workforce.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: March 3, 2022
From: Carolina Yuen
Subject: Oppose Initiative 21-0042A1 State Ballot Measure Restricting Voters’ Input and Local Taxing Authority
Community Goal/Result
Community Building – Brisbane will honor the rich diversity of our city through community and participation
Fiscally Prudent – Brisbane’s fiscal vitality will reflect sound decisions which also speak to the values of the community
Purpose
To consider taking a formal position on a pending state ballot measure in order to allow the residents of the community the greatest flexibility in determining how the needs of the City are funded.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 22-___ to oppose Initiative 21-0042A1 and authorize the City to join the No On Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition.
Background
In 2018, the “Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act” (AG# 17-0050 Amendment #1) was being circulated to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. This initiative would have drastically limited local revenue authority.
Through the successful work and the advocacy of the League of California Cities and its coalition, including the City of Brisbane, the measure’s proponents withdrew the initiative from the ballot in June 2018.
On January 4th of this year, the California Business Roundtable filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (AG# 21-0042A1), a measure that could drastically reduce vital local and state services to benefit corporations.
The League of California Cities, along with a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses, strongly oppose this initiative.
Discussion
The California League of Cities has taken a formal position to oppose this ballot measure. The concerns include the measure would limit voter authority and accountability, restricts local tax 54 H.

authority to provide local services by adopting new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, thereby restricting local fee authority to provide local services, and makes it more difficult to hold violators of state and local laws accountable.
The League feels that because the association supporting this measure represents California’s wealthiest corporations, the measure shifts the burden from corporations to individual taxpayers to pay more for local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources.
The attached legal and fiscal analyses describe in further detail how the measure may be deceiving and implements additional voter requirements threatening citizen input, while also having the potential of invalidating or sun-setting measures already passed which could lead to significant reductions in existing taxes and fees.
Fiscal Impact
Potentially significant reduction in general fund revenues if this measure were to pass.
Measure of Success
A failure at the voting booths of the proposed measure.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-__
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRISBANE OPPOSING INITIATIVE 21-0042A1 AND
AUTHORIZING JOINING THE “NO ON INITIATIVE 21-0042A1” COALITION WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations is behind a proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot; and WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that appear to allow corporations to pay far less in proportion to the impacts they have on California communities, including local infrastructure, or environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; and WHEREAS, the measure includes provisions that may make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure appears to make it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect the environment, public health and safety and neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and may force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
WHEREAS, the measure appears to reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation and utilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Brisbane that the City opposes Initiative 21-0042A1.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Brisbane will join the “No on Initiative 21-0042A1” coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, labor, local government, infrastructure advocates, and other organizations throughout the state.

Stop the Corporate Loopholes Scheme
Deceptive Proposition Allows Major Corporations to Avoid Paying their Fair Share and Evade Enforcement when they Violate Environmental, Health & Safety Laws An association representing California’s wealthiest corporations — including oil, insurance, banks and drug companies — is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot. Their measure would create major new loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities; while also allowing corporations to evade enforcement when they violate environmental, health, safety and other state and local laws. Here’s why a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses oppose the Corporate Loophole Scheme:
Gives Wealthy Corporations a Major Loophole to Avoid Paying their Fair Share - Forcing Local Residents and Taxpayers to Pay More • The measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources – shifting the burden and making individual taxpayers pay more.
Allows Corporations to Dodge Enforcement When They Violate Environmental, Health, Public Safety and Other Laws
• The deceptive scheme creates new loopholes that makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods.
Jeopardizes Vital Local and State Services
• This far-reaching measure puts at risk billions of dollars currently dedicated to critical state and local services.
• It could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services and more. • It would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, utilities and more.
Opens the Door for Frivolous Lawsuits, Bureaucracy and Red Tape that Will Cost Taxpayers and Hurt Our Communities
• The measure will encourage frivolous lawsuits, bureaucracy and red tape that will cost local taxpayers millions — while significantly delaying and stopping investments in infrastructure and vital services.
58 H.
Undermines Voter Rights, Transparency, and Accountability • This misleading measure changes our constitution to make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and local infrastructure.
• It also includes a hidden provision that would retroactively cancel measures that were passed by local voters — effectively undermining the rights of voters to decide for themselves what their communities need.
• It would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures, where voters provide direction to politicians on how they want their local tax dollars spent. 59 H.
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1
January 21, 2022
Summary: The measure limits the voters’ input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.
Limiting Voter Authority and Accountability
• Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. • Invalidates Upland decision that allows majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.
Restricting Local Fee Authority to Provide Local Services • Franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.
Restricting Authority of State and Local Governments to Issue Fines and Penalties for Violations of Law.
• Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties. 60 H.
Restricting Local Tax Authority to Provide Local Services • Expanding existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service) requires voter approval.
• City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. • Taxes adopted after January 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
• All state taxes require majority voter approval.
• Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.
Other Changes
• No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy. 61 H.

Fiscal and Program Effects of
Initiative 21-0042A1 on Local Governments
If Initiative 21-0042A1 is placed on the ballot and passed by voters, it will result in:
Billions of local government fee and charge revenues placed at heightened legal peril. Related public service reductions across virtually every aspect of city, county, special district, and school services especially for transportation, and public facility use. Hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenues from dozens of tax and bond measures approved by voters between January 1, 2022 and November 9, 2022 subject to additional voter approval if not in compliance with the initiative.
Indeterminable legal and administrative burdens and costs on local government from new and more empowered legal challenges, and bureaucratic cost tracking requirements. The delay and deterrence of municipal annexations and associated impacts on housing and commercial development.
Service and infrastructure impacts including in fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention and mental health services.
1. Local Government Taxes and Services Threatened
With regard to taxes, Initiative 21-0042A1:
Prohibits advisory, non-binding measures as to use of tax proceeds on the same ballot. o Voters may be less informed and more likely to vote against measures. Eliminates the ability of special tax measures proposed by citizen initiative to be enacted by majority voter approval (Upland).
o Because the case law regarding citizen initiative special taxes approved by majority vote (Upland) is so recent, it is unknown how common these sorts of measures might be in the future. This initiative would prohibit such measures after the effective date of the initiative. Any such measures adopted after January 1, 2022 through November 8, 2022 would be void after November 9, 2023.
Requires that tax measures include a specific duration of time that the tax will be imposed. This seems to require that all tax increases or extensions contain a sunset (end date). o This would require additional tax measures to extend previously approved taxes at additional cost to taxpayers.
Requires that a tax or bond measure adopted after January 1, 2022 and before the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2022) that was not adopted in accordance with the measure be readopted in compliance with the measure or will be void twelve months after the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2023).
o If past election patterns are an indication, dozens of tax and bond measures approving hundreds of millions of annual revenues may not be in compliance and would be subject to reenactment.
Most will be taxes without a specific end date. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, measures not in compliance would need to be placed on a special election ballot for approval before November 9, 2023 or the tax will be void after that date. General tax measures would require declaration of emergency and unanimous vote of the governing board.

Requires voter approval to expand an existing tax to new territory (annexations). This would require additional tax measures and would deter annexations and land development in cities. o If a tax is "extended" to an annexed area without a vote after January 1, 2022, it will be void 12 months later until brought into compliance. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, such extensions for general taxes would, under current law, each require unanimous vote of the agency board to be placed on a special election ballot or would be void after November 9, 2023.
1.a. Number of Measures and Value of Local Taxes at Risk1 In 2020, voters in California approved 293 local tax and bond measures for cities, counties, special districts and schools (95 in March and 198 in November). The approved measures enacted $3.85 billion in new annual taxes including $1.3 billion for cities, $302 million for counties, $208 million for special districts (fire, wastewater, open space and transit districts), and $2.037 billion for schools (including for school bonds).
Most tax measures go to the ballot during a presidential or gubernatorial primary or general election in an even year. However, some tax measures are decided at other times. During 2019, there were 45 approved tax and bond measures (24 city, 14 special district, 7 school) adopting $154.0 million in new annual taxes ($124.0 million city, $10.5 million special district and $19.2 million school).
Most tax and bond measures comply with the new rules in Initiative 21-0042Amdt#1 except:
Dozens of taxes would require end dates. This would require additional measures in future years to extend the taxes further. Very few extensions of existing local taxes fail. Majority vote general tax measures could not be accompanied on the same ballot with an advisory, non-binding measure as to use of tax proceeds. Special taxes placed on the ballot via citizen initiative would require two-thirds voter approval.
Bond measures have fixed terms. Historically, about 20 percent of other tax measures have included specific durations (i.e. sunsets). Advisory measures as to use of revenues are uncommon. I do not expect the provisions of 21-0042A1 to have any substantial effect on passage rates. However, some 2022 approved measures would likely have to put back on the ballot.
Based on history, a reasonable estimate of the annualized tax revenues estimated to be approved by 1 Source: Compilation and summary of data from County elections offices. 63 H.

voters in 2022 and placed at risk by this initiative is at least $1.5 billion, including $1.0 billion from cities and $500 million from counties and special districts. 2 1.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Tax Provisions In addition to service delays and disruption due to new tax revenues placed at greater legal risk, there will be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The deterrence of taxes for annexations will delay and deter municipal annexations.
2. “Exempt Charges” (fees and charges that are not taxes) and Services Threatened With regard to fees and charges adopted after January 1, 2022, Initiative 21-0042A1:
Subjects new fees and charges for a product or service to a new "actual cost” test defined as “(i) the minimum amount necessary to reimburse the government for the cost of providing the service to the payor, and (ii) where the amount charged is not used by the government for any purpose other than reimbursing that cost. In addition, subjects these same charges to a new, undefined, “reasonable” standard.
Subjects fees and charges for entrance to local government property; and rental and sale of local government property to a new, undefined, “reasonable” test. Subjects a challenged fee or charge to new, higher burdens of proof if legally challenged. Prohibits a levy, charge or exaction regulating or related to vehicle miles traveled, imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.
2.a. Value on New Local Government Fees and Charges at Risk3 Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies and increases in those fees simply to accommodate inflation, the amount of local government fee and charge revenue placed at risk is about $1 billion per year including those adopted since January 1, 2022. Of this $1 billion, about $570 million is for special districts, $450 million is cities, and $260 million is counties.4
Major examples of affected fees and charges are:
1. Nuisance abatement charges - such as for weed, rubbish and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.
2. Commercial franchise fees.
3. Emergency response fees - such as in connection with DUI.
4. Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.
5. Document processing and duplication fees.
6. Transit fees, tolls, parking fees, public airport and harbor use fees.
7. Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.
In addition to fees and charges, the measure puts fines and penalties assessed for the violation of state and 2 This does not include citizen initiative special tax approved by majority but not two-thirds. Because this approach is new, the number of these measures and amount of revenue involved cannot be estimated. 3 Source: California State Controller Annual Reports of Financial Transactions concerning cities, counties and special districts, summarized with an assumed growth due to fee rate increases (not population) of 2 percent annually. 4 School fees are also affected but the amount is negligible by comparison. 64 H.

local law at risk, making them taxes subject to voter approval under certain circumstances.
2.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Fee/Charge Provisions In addition to service delays and disruptions due to fee and charge revenues placed at greater legal risk, there would be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The risk to fees and charges will make infrastructure financing more difficult and will deter new residential and commercial development. ***********

Meeting Date: March 3, 2022
From: Community Development Director
Subject: Affordable Housing Strategic Plan Goal Setting Workshop and Housing Element Update
Community Goal/Result
Community Building - Brisbane will honor the rich diversity of our city (residents, organizations, businesses) through community engagement and participation Purpose
To: 1) provide the City Council a status report regarding the ongoing Housing Element update; and 2) provide the City Council with an update on the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (AHSP) and solicit Council feedback on affordable housing goals and objectives to further inform the development of the AHSP.
Recommendation
That the City Council provide input it deems appropriate for the AHSP.
Background/Discussion
Affordable Housing Strategic Plan
As authorized by the City Council in May 2021, the City selected consulting firm EcoNorthwest to prepare a citywide Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (AHSP). EcoNorthwest commenced work on the AHSP in August 2021.
As a reminder, the purpose of the AHSP is to focus the City’s efforts to provide new affordable housing and protect existing affordable housing through the following actions:
1. Update and streamline the City’s management of existing affordable housing units and programs to better manage existing and future affordable deed-restricted housing units.
2. Develop affordable housing strategies specifically for the Baylands.
3. Identify city-wide funding priorities for the City’s affordable housing funds.
4. Evaluate options to create an ongoing revenue stream to fund affordable housing.
5. Review the City’s affordable housing requirements in the zoning ordinance to make sure they are feasible, realistic, and will result in the greatest benefit to the community.
Additional background information and discussion points will be provided in tonight’s presentation by EcoNorthwest.
67 I.
Affordable Housing Strategic Plan and Housing Element Update Page 2 of 3 The consultant team will be soliciting feedback from the council regarding strategy prioritization. Topics to be discussed may include:
• The appropriateness of linking affordable housing to commercial development • Value capture strategies to support affordable housing • Appropriate role of land use in supporting affordable housing • The balance of resources dedicated to production, services, and support • Discussion of housing need and populations served
• Location of affordable housing
• Discussion of the City’s unique opportunities and challenges Housing Element Update
Pursuant to state law, the City is required to update its Housing Element every 8 years. The Housing Element must be accepted by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and adopted by the City Council by January 31, 2023. The Planning Commission is actively engaged in a series of workshops addressing various issues of concern that must be addressed in the Housing Element. Staff anticipates publication of a draft Housing Element in April 2022 allowing sufficient time for Planning Commission and City Council review along with multiple reviews by HCD.
While the Housing Element has numerous mandatory requirements, a critical component is to identify adequate sites to meet the City’s “fair share” of the region’s housing need as established in the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). On February 24, the Planning Commission discussed the lack of capacity in the City’s existing zoning to accommodate the RHNA and the need to rezone sites to make up for the shortfall (see table below),

To address this shortfall, staff has preliminarily identified several sites that might be considered for rezoning. These sites were presented for consideration by the community at large via an online simulation tool called “Balance Brisbane,” which was open from December to February and allowed participants to design their own proposal for rezoning to meet the City’s RHNA. 68 I.
Affordable Housing Strategic Plan and Housing Element Update Page 3 of 3 Results of the Balance simulation can be viewed in the February 24, 2022 Planning Commission agenda report, an excerpt of which is included as an attachment to this report. Most notably, adoption of a specific plan for the Baylands with a residential yield within the range permitted under the General Plan (1800-2200 units) would satisfy the City’s RHNA.
State law obligates the City to complete rezonings to satisfy the RHNA by either January 31, 2024 or January 31, 2026 depending on whether or not the City adopts the Housing Element by the state- mandated deadline.

Community Goal/Result
Fiscally Prudent
Economic Development
Community Building
Purpose
Purchase property at the corner of Old County Road and Bayshore to ensure community values are taken into account in determining the future development of the site, likely for commercial purposes and/or housing.
Recommendation
Approve the Resolutions described above.
Background
On December 9, 2021 the City Council approved the purchase of the old Bank of America Building located at the corner of Old County Road and Bayshore Drive. The purchase price was $4,250,000. The purchase closed February 22, 2022. The City Council directed staff to use bond financing to pay for the purchase of the property using the new Library for the collateral.
Staff worked with our Financial Advisor (Marty Johnson) and developed the option using a private placement with a bank. Staff presented this option to the City Council’s infrastructure subcommittee. The advantages for this option compared to a public offering are; 1) it allowed 73 J.
Update on Loan for the Bank of America Land Purchase Page 2 of 4 the City to lock in an interest rate more quickly in an increasing interest rate environment, 2) it allows for a shorter call feature, and 3) it allows banks to bid on the debt and currently banks are offering similar or lower overall costs compared to a public placement. Based on feedback from the Infrastructure Committee the City developed a 20-year privately placed debt instrument. The 20 year structure allows the City to lower the overall interest payment compared to 25 or 30 year terms.
Since no determination has been made for the ultimate use of the project the debt instrument will be taxable instead of tax exempt. Tax exempt debt can be used when the purpose of the bond is for governmental purposes. Since it is unknown whether the ultimate use of the land will be for affordable housing, market rate housing, commercial use, or governmental use the City needs to issue the debt instrument as taxable.
Currently, the annual payments for the instrument will be from the General Fund, if at some future date the City Council determines the use of the property will be for affordable housing the City can payback the General Fund for its outlay on the project from the Affordable Housing Fund. If it makes financial sense, a Tax-Exempt refinancing could be done to lower the annual payment.
Discussion
City staff and the City’s Financial Advisor have developed a repayment schedule that wraps this debt around existing debt the General Fund is paying. The idea of wrapping this new debt around existing debt allows the City to minimize the initial impact of the additional debt service. The City currently has two issues outstanding that the General Fund is paying. One is a Pension Obligation Bond which comes due in FY 2023. The second is the City Hall remodel which will be paid off in 2029. The annual payment for the Pension Obligation Bond is about $393,000 for FY 2023 and the annual payment for the City Hall remodel is about $155,000 a year through 2029. There will be no payment due in FY 2022 on the new loan. The payments on the new loan will be structured as interest only in FY 2023 (~$132,400), payments of ~$212,000 through FY 2029 and then payments of $368,000 through maturity in FY 2042. This means through the year 2029 the City will pay a total of $368,000 annually; $155,000 will go towards paying off the Remodel Bond and $213,000 going to pay off the purchase of the Bank of America site loan. After 2029 the City will pay $368,000 to pay off the Bank of America site loan.
The City will pay approximately $136,000 per year in interest for the first 5 years of the loan.
When a decision for the ultimate use of the land is made staff will be able to return to the City Council with additional options that may save the City more money and/or move the payment to a fund other than the General Fund.
If the City Council chooses not borrow the $4,250,000 and instead pay cash from General Fund it would reduce the amount of cash to meet other needs including our Fund Balance Policy. As 74 J.
Update on Loan for the Bank of America Land Purchase Page 3 of 4 stated at the January 20, 2022 Council meeting between required reserves, and committed reserves there is no additional liquid funds available for other projects. Therefore, spending cash instead of borrowing the funds will bring us below the liquid reserves required by our reserve policy. We might not have enough easily accessible funds available if there was an emergency or recession that required us to make up for additional expenses or lost revenue quickly. Reducing the City’s cash balance would also reduce the amount of interest the City could earn.
Fiscal Impact
The annual payment for the privately placed note will increase from $213,000 in FY 2023 to $368,000 in 2042. The note will be paid off after 20 years. The City will be able to call the loan in FY 2028 without penalty. The total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan will be $1,848,800. The interest paid in the first 5 years will be $681,651. A portion of this interest payment can be offset by the interest on the money the City will keep by using financing.
The piece of property that will secure the loan is the new City Library located on Visitacion Avenue. The library’s value exceeds the amount of the issue by over $2,000,000 so there is enough value there to provide the note holders enough collateral for the loan. Additionally, having a facility or building that is of higher value to the community is better than one of less value to the community.
Measure of Success
The community ends up with a use on the property that is acceptable.

The actual interest rates with respect to the Lease Agreement will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. The actual amortization of the Lease Agreement will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the City. 79 J.

The Bank is able and willing to bear the economic risk of the extension of credit represented by the funding and assignment described above. (d) The Bank understands that the Lease Agreement has not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or under any state securities laws. The Bank agrees that it will comply with any applicable state and federal securities laws then in effect, if any, with respect to any disposition of the rights, title and interest of the Authority under the Lease Agreement by it, and further acknowledges that any current exemption from registration of the Lease Agreement does not affect or diminish such requirements. (e) The Bank has authority to execute any instruments and documents required to be executed by the Bank in connection with the funding and assignment described above.

(b) If for any reason the City is unable to so substitute real property for the Property with a fair rental value at least equal to the remaining Lease Payments hereunder, the City shall use its best efforts to obtain other financing in an amount necessary to prepay the principal component of the Lease Payments not supported by the fair rental value of the substituted property, if any.

The City waives the benefits of subsections 1 and 2 of Section 1932, Section 1933(4) and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, but such waiver does not limit any of the rights of the City under the terms of this Lease Agreement.
The City will pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments of any type or nature, if any, charged to the Authority or the City affecting the Property or the respective interests or estates therein; provided that with respect to special assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the City is obligated to pay only such installments as are required to be paid during the Term of this Lease Agreement as and when the same become due.
The City may, at the City’s expense and in its name, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments, utility and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom unless the Authority shall notify the City that, in its reasonable opinion, by nonpayment of any such items the interest of the Authority in the Property will be materially endangered or the Property or any part thereof will be subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event the City will promptly pay such taxes, assessments or charges or provide the Authority with full security against any loss which may result from nonpayment, in form satisfactory to the Authority. The City shall promptly notify the Assignee of any tax, assessment, utility or other charge it elects to contest.

Such insurance must, as nearly as practicable, cover loss or damage by all “special form” perils. Such insurance shall be subject to a deductible of not to exceed $250,000. Such insurance may be maintained as part of or in conjunction with any other insurance coverage carried by the City (including, with the Assignee’s prior written consent, a self-insurance program), and may be maintained in whole or in part in the form of the participation by the City in a joint powers authority or other program providing pooled insurance.

Such insurance may be maintained as part of or in conjunction with any other insurance coverage carried by the City, and may be maintained in whole or in part in the form of the participation by the City in a joint powers authority or other program providing pooled insurance; provided that such rental interruption insurance shall not be self-insured by the City.
The City will apply the Net Proceeds of such insurance towards the payment of the Lease Payments allocable to the insured improvements as the same become due and payable.
Section 5.6. Worker’s Compensation Insurance. If required by applicable California law, the City shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all employees on, in, near or about the Property and, upon request, shall furnish to the Authority certificates evidencing such coverage throughout the Term of this Lease Agreement.

Section 5.8. Insurance Net Proceeds; Form of Policies. All insurance policies (or riders) required by this Article V and provided by third party insurance carriers shall be taken out and maintained with responsible insurance companies organized under the laws of one of the states of the United States and qualified to do business in the State, and shall contain a provision that the insurer shall not cancel or revise coverage thereunder without giving written notice to the insured parties at least ten days before the cancellation or revision becomes effective. Each insurance policy or rider required by Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 and provided by third party insurance carriers shall name the City and the Assignee as insured parties and the Assignee as loss payees and shall include a lender’s loss payable endorsement for the benefit of the Assignee. In the case of coverage pursuant to Section 5.3, the Authority and the Assignee shall be added as additional insureds. Prior to the Closing Date, the City will deposit with the Assignee policies (and riders and endorsements, if applicable) evidencing any such insurance procured by it, or a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in full force and effect.

The City must repair and restore any and all damage to the Property resulting from the installation, modification or removal of any such items. Nothing in this Lease Agreement prevents the City from purchasing or leasing items to be installed under this Section under a lease or conditional sale agreement, or subject to a vendor’s lien or security agreement, as security for the unpaid portion of the purchase price thereof, provided that no such lien or security interest may attach to any part of the Property.
Section 5.10. Liens.

(c) Access for Inspection. The City will permit the Assignee, its agents, or any experts designated by the Assignee to have full access to the Property during reasonable business hours for purposes of such independent investigation of compliance with all Applicable Environmental Laws, provided that the Assignee has no obligation to do so, or any liability for any failure to do so, or any liability should it do so.

Section 6.2. Application of Net Proceeds.
(a) From Insurance Award.
(i) Any Net Proceeds of insurance against damage to or destruction of any part of the Property collected by the City in the event of any such damage or destruction shall be deposited by the City promptly upon receipt thereof in a special fund with the Assignee designated as the “Insurance and Condemnation Fund.” (ii) Within ninety (90) days following the date of such deposit, the City shall determine and notify the Authority and the Assignee in writing of its determination either (A) that the replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the Property is not economically feasible or in the best interest of the City and the Net Proceeds, together with other moneys available therefor, may be applied to the prepayment of Lease Payments pursuant to subparagraph (iii) below, or (B) that all or a portion of such Net Proceeds are to be applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the damaged or destroyed portions of the Property and the fair rental value of the Property following such repair, restoration, replacement, modification or improvement will at least equal the unpaid principal component of the Lease Payments.
(iii) In the event the City’s determination is as set forth in clause (A) of subparagraph (ii) above, such Net Proceeds and other available moneys shall be promptly applied to the prepayment of Lease Payments and other amounts pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Lease Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of damage or destruction of the Property in full, such Net Proceeds may be so applied only if sufficient, together with other moneys available therefor, to cause the prepayment of the principal components of all unpaid Lease Payments, all accrued and unpaid interest, Prepayment Premiums described in Section 9.2, and all other costs related to such prepayments pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Lease Agreement and otherwise such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the Property; provided further, however, that in the event of damage or destruction of the Property in part, such Net Proceeds may be applied to the prepayment of Lease Payments only if the resulting Lease Payments following such prepayment from Net Proceeds represent fair consideration for the remaining portions of the Property and otherwise such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the prompt 126

replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the Property, evidenced by a certificate signed by a City Representative. (iv) In the event the City’s determination is as set forth in clause (B) of subparagraph (ii) above and the City certifies to the Assignee that such repair or replacement can be completed within 24 months, such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the damaged or destroyed portions of the Property by the City, and until the Property has been restored to its prior condition, the City shall not place any lien or encumbrance on the Property that is senior to this Lease Agreement without the prior written consent of the Assignee, at its sole discretion.
(b) From Eminent Domain Award. If all or any part of the Property shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings (or sold to a government threatening to exercise the power of eminent domain) the Net Proceeds therefrom shall be deposited by the City in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund and shall be applied and disbursed as follows:
(i) If the City has given written notice to the Authority and the Assignee of its determination that (A) such eminent domain proceedings have not materially affected the operation of the Property or the ability of the City to meet any of its obligations with respect to the Property under this Lease Agreement, and (B) such proceeds are not needed for repair or rehabilitation of the Property, the City shall so certify to the Authority and the Assignee, and the City shall credit such proceeds towards the prepayment of the Lease Payments pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Lease Agreement. (ii) If the City has given written notice to the Authority and the Assignee of its determination that (A) such eminent domain proceedings have not materially affected the operation of the Property or the ability of the City to meet any of its obligations with respect to the Property under this Lease Agreement, and (B) such proceeds are needed for repair, rehabilitation or replacement of the Property, the City shall so certify to the Authority and the Assignee, and the City shall apply such amounts for such repair or rehabilitation.
(iii) If less than all of the Property shall have been taken in such eminent domain proceedings or sold to a government threatening the use of eminent domain powers, and if the City has given written notice to the Authority and the Assignee of its determination that such eminent domain proceedings have materially affected the operation of the Property or the ability of the City to meet any of its obligations with respect to the Property under the Lease Agreement. The City shall either apply such proceeds (A) to the prepayment of the Lease Payments pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Lease Agreement only if the resulting Lease Payments following such prepayment represent fair consideration for the use and occupancy of the remaining usable portion of the Property, or (B) together with other legally available funds, to the repair or rehabilitation of the Property only if the resulting Lease Payments following such repair or rehabilitation represent fair consideration for the use and occupancy of the remaining usable portion of the Property.
(iv) If all of the Property shall have been taken in such eminent domain proceedings, then the City shall credit such proceeds towards the prepayment of the Lease Payments pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Lease Agreement. (v) In making any determination under this Section 6.2(b), the City may, but shall not be required to, obtain at its expense, the report of an independent engineer or other 127
J.

independent professional consultant, a copy of which shall be filed with the Authority and the Assignee. Any such determination by the City shall be final. (c) From Title Insurance. The Net Proceeds from a title insurance award shall be deposited by the City in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund and credited towards the prepayment of Lease Payments required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Lease Agreement.
Section 6.3. Abatement of Lease Payments in the Event of Damage or Destruction. Lease Payments shall be abated during any period in which, by reason of damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the use and occupancy by the City of the Property or any portion thereof to the extent to be agreed upon by the City and the Assignee. The parties agree that the amounts of the Lease Payments under such circumstances shall not be less than the amounts of the unpaid Lease Payments as are then set forth in Exhibit C, unless such unpaid amounts are determined to be greater than the fair rental value of the portions of the Property not damaged or destroyed, based upon an appropriate method of valuation, in which event the Lease Payments shall be abated such that they represent said fair rental value. Such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with such damage or destruction and ending with the substantial completion of the work of repair or reconstruction as evidenced by a Certificate of a City Representative to the Authority and the Assignee. In the event of any such damage or destruction, this Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the City waives any right to terminate this Lease Agreement by virtue of any such damage and destruction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no abatement of Lease Payments under this Section 6.3 to the extent that (a) the proceeds of rental interruption insurance or (b) amounts in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund are available to pay Lease Payments which would otherwise be abated under this Section 6.3, it being hereby declared that such proceeds and amounts constitute special funds for the payment of the Lease Payments. 128

ARTICLE VIII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 8.1. Events of Default Defined. Any one or more of the following events constitutes an Event of Default hereunder:
(a) Failure by the City to pay any Lease Payment, Additional Payment or other payment required to be paid hereunder at the time specified herein. (b) Failure by the City to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed hereunder, other than as referred to in the preceding clause (a) of this Section, for a period of 30 days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to the City by the Assignee. However, if in the reasonable opinion of the City the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such 30-day period, the Authority and the Assignee shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to an extension of such time (for a period not to exceed 60 days) if corrective action is instituted by the City within such 30-day period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected.
(c) The filing by the City of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or failure by the City promptly to lift any execution, garnishment or attachment, or adjudication of the City as a bankrupt, or assignment by the City for the benefit of creditors, or the entry by the City into an agreement of composition with creditors, or the approval by a court of competent jurisdiction of a petition applicable to the City in any proceedings instituted under the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar federal or State act now existing or which may hereafter be enacted.
(d) Any statement, representation or warranty made by the City in or pursuant to this Lease Agreement or its execution, delivery or performance shall have been false, incorrect, misleading or breached in any material respect on the date when made. (e) Any default occurs under any other agreement for borrowing money, lease financing of property or otherwise receiving credit under which the City is an obligor, if such default (i) arises under any other agreement for borrowing money, lease financing of property or provision of credit provided by the Assignee or any affiliate of the Assignee, or (ii) arises under any obligation under which there is outstanding, owing or committed an aggregated amount in excess of $500,000.
(f) Any default by the City to observe any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed under the Site and Facility Lease. (g) Any court of competent jurisdiction shall find or rule that the Site and Facility Lease or this Lease Agreement is not valid or binding against the City. (h) The City abandons any part of the Property.
(i) The occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Section 6.01 of the Supplemental Agreement.
Section 8.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default has happened and is continuing, the Authority may exercise any and all remedies available under law or granted under this Lease Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the 134
J.
-28-
contrary, there shall be no right under any circumstances to accelerate the Lease Payments or otherwise declare any Lease Payments not then in default to be immediately due and payable.
Each and every covenant hereof to be kept and performed by the City is expressly made a condition and upon the breach thereof the Authority may exercise any and all rights granted hereunder; provided, that no termination of this Lease Agreement shall be effected either by operation of law or acts of the parties hereto, except only in the manner herein expressly provided. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Authority may exercise any one or more of the following remedies:
(a) Enforcement of Payments Without Termination. If the Authority does not elect to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner hereinafter provided for in subparagraph (b) hereof, the City agrees to and shall remain liable for the payment of all Lease Payments and Additional Payments and the performance of all conditions herein contained and shall reimburse the Authority for any deficiency arising out of the re-leasing of the Property, or, if the Authority is unable to re-lease the Property, then for the full amount of all Lease Payments and Additional Payments to the end of the Term of this Lease Agreement, but said Lease Payments, Additional Payments and/or deficiency shall be payable only at the same time and in the same manner as hereinabove provided for the payment of Lease Payments and Additional Payments hereunder, notwithstanding such entry or re-entry by the Authority or any suit in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by the Authority for the purpose of effecting such re-entry or obtaining possession of the Property or the exercise of any other remedy by the Authority. The City hereby irrevocably appoints the Authority as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the City to enter upon and re-lease the Property upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and to remove all personal property whatsoever situated upon the Property, to place such property in storage or other suitable place in San Mateo County for the account of and at the expense of the City, and the City hereby exempts and agrees to save harmless the Authority from any costs, loss or damage whatsoever arising or occasioned by any such entry upon and re-leasing of the Property and the removal and storage of such property by the Authority or its duly authorized agents in accordance with the provisions herein contained. The City agrees that the terms of this Lease Agreement constitute full and sufficient notice of the right of the Authority to re-lease the Property in the event of such re-entry without effecting a surrender of this Lease Agreement, and further agrees that no acts of the Authority in effecting such releasing shall constitute a surrender or termination of this Lease Agreement irrespective of the term for which such re-leasing is made or the terms and conditions of such re-leasing, or otherwise, but that, on the contrary, in the event of such default by the City the right to terminate this Lease Agreement shall vest in the Authority to be effected in the sole and exclusive manner hereinafter provided for in subparagraph (b) hereof. The City agrees to surrender and quit possession of the Property upon demand of the Authority for the purpose of enabling the Property to be re-let under this paragraph. Any rental obtained by the Authority in excess of the sum of Lease Payments and Additional Payments plus costs and expenses incurred by the Authority for its services in re-leasing the Property shall be paid to the City. (b) Termination of Lease. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing hereunder, the Authority at its option may terminate this Lease Agreement and re-lease all or any portion of the Property, subject to the Site and Facility Lease. If the Authority terminates this Lease Agreement at its option and in the manner hereinafter provided due to a default by the City (and notwithstanding any re-entry upon the Property by the Authority in any manner whatsoever or the re-leasing of the Property), the City nevertheless agrees to pay to the Authority all costs, loss or damages howsoever arising or occurring payable at the same time and in the same manner as is herein provided in the case of payment of Lease Payments and Additional Payments. Any surplus received by the Authority from such re-leasing shall be applied by the Authority to Lease Payments and Additional Payments due under this Lease Agreement. Neither notice to pay rent or to deliver up possession of the premises given under 135
J.
-29-
law nor any proceeding in unlawful detainer taken by the Authority shall of itself operate to terminate this Lease Agreement, and no termination of this Lease Agreement on account of default by the City shall be or become effective by operation of law, or otherwise, unless and until the Authority shall have given written notice to the City of the election on the part of the Authority to terminate this Lease Agreement. The City covenants and agrees that no surrender of the Property, or of the remainder of the Term hereof or any termination of this Lease Agreement shall be valid in any manner or for any purpose whatsoever unless stated or accepted by the Authority by such written notice.
(c) Proceedings at Law or In Equity. If an Event of Default occurs and continues hereunder, the Authority may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce any other of its rights hereunder.
(d) Remedies under the Site and Facility Lease. If an Event of Default occurs and continues hereunder, the Authority may exercise its rights under the Site and Facility Lease.
Section 8.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Authority to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VIII it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article VIII or by law.
Section 8.4. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If any agreement contained in this Lease Agreement is breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver is limited to the particular breach so waived and will not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Section 8.5. Assignee to Exercise Rights. Such rights and remedies as are given to the Authority under this Article VIII have been assigned by the Authority to the Assignee, to which assignment the City hereby consents.

Section 9.1. Security Deposit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease Agreement, upon payment in full of any Additional Payments due and payable, the City may on any date secure the payment of the Lease Payments in whole or in part by depositing with the Assignee or a fiduciary reasonably satisfactory to the Assignee, in trust, an amount of cash, which shall be held in a segregated trust or escrow fund under a trust or escrow agreement that is in form and content acceptable to the Assignee, which cash so held is either (a) sufficient to pay such Lease Payments, including the principal and interest components thereof, in accordance with the Lease Payment schedule set forth in Exhibit C, or (b) invested in whole in non-callable Federal Securities maturing not later than the dates such funds will be required to make Lease Payments or any prepayment in an amount which is sufficient, in the opinion of an independent certified public accountant (which opinion must be in form and substance, and with such an accountant, as shall be acceptable to the Assignee, and addressed and delivered to the Assignee), together with interest to accrue thereon and without reinvestment and together with any cash which is so deposited, to pay such Lease Payments when due under Section 4.3(a) or when due on any optional prepayment date under Section 9.2, as the City instructs at the time of said deposit. In the event of a security deposit under this Section with respect to all unpaid Lease Payments, (i) the Term of this Lease Agreement shall continue, (ii) all obligations of the City under this Lease Agreement, and all security provided by this Lease Agreement for said obligations, shall thereupon cease and terminate, excepting only (A) the obligation of the City to make, or cause to be made, all of the Lease Payments from such security deposit and, to the extent of any deficiency, as rent payable from other legally available funds of the City, and (B) the release and indemnification obligations of the City under subparagraphs (f) and (g) of Section 7.3, and (iii) under Section 4.5, the Authority’s leasehold interest in the Property will vest in the City on the date of said deposit automatically and without further action by the City or the Authority. The City hereby grants a first priority security interest in and lien on said security deposit and all proceeds thereof in favor of the Assignee. Said security deposit shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a special fund for the payment of Lease Payments in accordance with the provisions of this Lease Agreement and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lease Payments therefrom shall not be subject to abatement under Section 6.3 hereof to the extent payable from the funds held by the Assignee or the fiduciary as described in the first sentence of this Section 9.1.
Section 9.2. Optional Prepayment. The City may exercise its option to prepay the principal components of the Lease Payments in whole or in part on any Lease Payment Date, upon 30 days’ notice to the Assignee, by paying a prepayment price equal to the aggregate principal components of the Lease Payments to be prepaid, together with the interest component of the Lease Payment required to be paid on or accrued to such date together with the premium set forth in the following table:
Prepayment Period Prepayment Premium

The City and 137
