For purposes of diversification, LAIF accounts will not be aggregated. Limits for security types are set forth in Section 8.0 of this document.
15. MAXIMUM MATURITIES

FHLB: The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLMC: Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “FreddieMac” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
FNMA: Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as “FannieMae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
GNMA: The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “GinnieMae,” issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.
PEFCO: The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
TVA: The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES: Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.

11 CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD): A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Time certificates of deposit are collateralized in accordance with the State code. Large- denomination CDs are typically negotiable and non-collateralized.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property which a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of public monies.
COLLATERALIZED BANK DEPOSIT: A bank deposit that is collateralized at least 100% (principal plus interest to maturity). The deposit is collateralized using assets set aside by the issuer such as Treasury securities or other qualified collateral to secure the deposit in excess of the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

MAKE WHOLE CALL: A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole." MARGIN: The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES: Securities issued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATING ORGANIZATION (NRSRO): A credit rating agency that the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States uses for regulatory purposes.

SEC RULE 15C301: See Uniform Net Capital Rule.
STRUCTURED NOTE: A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices. Examples include inverse floating rate notes which have coupons that increase when other interest rates are falling, and which fall when other interest rates are rising, and "dual index floaters," which pay interest based on the relationship between two other interest rates - for example, the yield on the ten-year Treasury note minus the Libor rate. Issuers of such notes lock in a reduced cost of borrowing by purchasing interest rate swap agreements.
SUPRANATIONALS: International financial institutions that are generally established by agreements among nations, with member nations contributing capital and participating in management. Supranational bonds finance economic and infrastructure development and support environmental protection, poverty reduction, and renewable energy around the globe.
TOTAL RATE OF RETURN: A measure of a portfolio’s performance over time. It is the internal rate of return, which equates the beginning value of the portfolio with the ending value; it includes interest earnings, realized and unrealized gains, and losses in the portfolio.

UNIFORM NET CAPITAL RULE: Securities and Exchange Commission requirement that member firms as well as non-member broker-dealers in securities maintain a maximum ratio of indebtedness to liquid capital of 15:1; also called net capital rule and net capital ratio. Indebtedness covers all money owed to a firm, including margin loans and commitments to purchase securities, one reason new public issues are spread among members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily converted into cash.
YIELD: The rate of annual income return on an investment, expressed as a percentage: (a) Income Yield is obtained by dividing the current dollar income by the current market price for the security; (b) Net Yield or Yield to Maturity is the current income yield minus any premium above par or plus any discount from par in purchase price, with the adjustment spread over the period from the date of purchase to the date of maturity of the bond.

Overall Financial Picture
5 Revenues are not covering expenses; a structural gap has existed for several years.
The Fiscal Stability Fund bridges this gap with planned drawdown both years of the FY 2025-26 & 2026-27
biennial budget.
The Fiscal Stability Fund has lasted longer than originally projected. However, it will be insufficient to balance the next biennial budget.

Section 19.40.060 Annual Rental Registration) via imposition of a lien, lawsuit and/or legal means.
Background
On January 12, 2021, City Council approved the establishment of a Residential Tenant Protection Program1 (Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40), which included an annual rental registry requirement. The Rent Registry Program (Program) required multifamily complexes with four or more rental units to annually register and pay the required Rent Registry Program fees. The Program collected information on tenancy and rents such as number of rental units, rent amounts per unit, lease dates of the current tenant, number and types of notices provided to tenants, eviction information, and other relevant rental information. The Program fee was set at $5.25 per rental unit to be paid by the property owners at the time of registration.
On April 19, 2024, City Council amended CMC Chapter 19.40 by adding rented single- family homes, condominiums, duplexes, triplexes, affordable housing, and rented mobile home units to the City’s Program requirement. This expanded the Program from approximately 10,000 units to approximately 16,500 units.
The amendments also included increased Just Cause for Eviction protections and established Rent Stabilization regulations. The implementation of these amendments required an increase in the annual Program fee in order to be fully cost-recoverable.
The Program fees established for the 2024-2025 registration period were as follows:
• $47 per rental unit subject to Rent Stabilization and Just Cause for Eviction, and • $29 per rental unit (unit(s) subject only to Just Cause for Eviction), and • $29 per unit subject to the Rent Registry Program requirement only (rented single-family homes and condominiums in which the owner owns two or fewer rented single-family homes or condominiums)
For FY 2024-2025, rental unit registration and payment of the required Program fees could be completed either through the City’s online Rent Registry Program portal2 or through submission of a paper application with a physical check. Staff also provided a number of opportunities and various methods for property owners to obtain assistance with registering their rental properties, including assistance via phone, email, appointment (in-person or via Zoom), drop-in hours, training sessions (in-person and Zoom) and in-person at the City’s Senior Center.

Compliance Efforts
Program fees pay for the full cost of administering the Residential Tenant Protection Program. Staff maintains comprehensive records of all properties registered under the Program and tracks all fees collected or owed by property owners that are required to participate.
For FY 2024-2025, if property owners did not complete the registration of their unit(s) by the deadline, administrative citation fines were calculated as set forth in the City’s Fees and Charges Schedule including Exhibit A, Section E (Police Fees) Section 5.6 and Exhibit A, Section A (Administrative Fees) Section 20 (Rent Registry Fees) and were applied on a per-unit basis (Attachment 2).
Property owners received a series of notifications informing them of their requirement to register their rental units for the 2024-2025 registration period, as follows:
1. November 18, 2024: The initial registration notice was mailed informing property owners that the registration period had commenced and provided a deadline of January 19, 2025.
2. February 14, 2025: A subsequent registration notice was mailed informing property owners that the deadline had been extended for all multifamily properties (properties consisting of two or more rental units) to February 28, 2025.
3. May 1, 2025: A Late Fee Notice was mailed to property owners who failed to register their rental units and/or pay the Program fees. The Notice informed the property owners that they would be assessed late fees of .083% on a rolling monthly basis if they remained out of compliance with the Program requirements.
Three subsequent Notices of Imposition of Administrative Citation, Fines and Penalties were mailed to property owners who remained delinquent in registering and/or paying fees for their rental properties at each of the following intervals:
1. August 27, 2025: First Notice of Imposition of Administrative Citation, Fines and Penalties mailed notifying owners that a $100 per unit infraction charge would be assessed on the property on September 1, 2025.
2. September 30, 2025: Second Notice of Imposition of Administrative Citation, Fines and Penalties mailed notifying owners that a $200 per unit infraction charge would be assessed on the property on October 1, 2025.
3. November 26, 2025: Third Notice of Imposition of Administrative Citation, Fines and Penalties was mailed notifying owners that a $500 per unit infraction charge would be assessed on December 1, 2025.
Further, the identified delinquent property owner was mailed a property lien warning letter:

1. April 1, 2026: Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien sent by certified mail to all known property addresses of the owner.
2. April 3, 2026: Attempts were made to personally serve the owner of the delinquent properties (a voluntary process the City undertook in an attempt to ensure the property owners had actual notice of the pending Council action).
The Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien was duly served on the non-compliant property owner.
Analysis
Pursuant to the CMC, the City has the authority to seek recovery of unpaid Program fees, accrued interest, fines, and penalties. The City has issued multiple notices to the non-compliant property owner and seeks the City Council’s authority to collect monies owed as set forth in the attached resolution.
The information below provides the current status of the two delinquent properties in the Program and the reasoning associated with the imposition of the proposed lien for their respective property.
2237 Hillsborough Court – 4 Units (APN: 110-260-009)
On June 2, 2026, Kevin and Cheryl Nord registered the four units for the 2024-2025 cycle, but as of the publication of this staff report have not paid the associated Program fees. The total amount owed to the City, including both the base Program fees and the assessed penalty charges, is $3,402.04. The property owners have objected to staff regarding the assessed penalty charges in the amount of $3,214.04; however, they still have yet to pay the $188 in base Program fees.
Prior to providing registration data on June 2, 2026, for FY 2024-2025, this property had not registered with the Program since its inception in 2021. For the 2024-2025 registration cycle, staff mailed all the notices described above in the Background section to the property owner at the address on record with Contra Costa County. Supporting documentation for the property is included as Attachment 3.
Additionally, this property has outstanding balances with the City’s Multi-family Housing Inspection Program in the amount of $3,602, and a delinquent Business License.
On April 1, 2026, staff mailed a Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien to the property owners at the three different mailing addresses associated with the owners of the subject property. This notice was sent via certified mail to all three addresses and was attempted to be personally served. City staff have reviewed the tracking history of the three certified letters and has confirmed that one letter sent to the physical address shows as successfully delivered to the

owner on record. The attempts at personal service were deemed unsuccessful by the process server. However, it is important to note that the City pursued personal service on property owners in an abundance of caution, whereas the legal authority pursuant to which the City seeks to impose and recover monies owed call for certified mail but do not require personal service. Moreover, the property owners have actual notice of this hearing as they have communicated with City staff regarding this matter and the City’s most recent notice, as further discussed below.
On May 7, 2026, staff received a phone call from the owner identifying himself as Kevin Nord. He informed staff that he received the Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien and inquired what steps were required to bring the property into compliance with the Program. The owner indicated that he resides outside of the country for a significant amount of time each year and inquired as to why staff had not reached out to him by email. Staff responded by indicating that there was no email or phone number on file for this property since it had never been registered since the inception of the Program.
On May 11, 2026, the owner Kevin Nord again contacted the City and informed staff that his children are designated to manage the property on his behalf. He indicated that they are retired and do a significant amount of traveling, and they may not have received prior notices. He also requested information on how to contest the penalty fees that were assessed on the property. Staff informed him that the deadline to request a hearing before the City’s hearing officer was December 31, 2025. Since he had missed that deadline and he had failed to register and pay the Program fees, the City Council will need to consider the waiver of the penalty charges and property lien at its meeting on June 9. Additionally, staff provided the owner with the link to the Program portal, and the APN and authorization pin combination needed to log into the portal to complete the registration of rental units.
On May 28, 2026, the Program portal indicated that the owner Kevin Nord logged into the system and claimed the subject property as the owner. Subsequently, on June 1, 2026, Lisa Carbajal from GCM Realty logged into the Program portal, claimed the subject property as the property manager and entered all required data for the four rental units. The data portion of the registration for both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 were submitted by Lisa Carbajal on June 2, 2026. GCM Realty also made payment for the 2025-2026 registration period, however, as stated earlier no payment has been received for the Program fees, late fees, or fines for the 2024-2025 registration period.
On June 1, 2026, Lisa Carbajal also sent an email to staff and provided that the GCM Realty firm does not formally manage the subject property, however, she has personally stepped in to assist the owner with entering the data portion of the registration into the Program portal. The email also indicated that the owner is prepared to pay the actual base Program costs, however, they are requesting a waiver of all fines and penalties.
Staff responded to Mrs. Carbajal’s email informing her that we can accept the payment

of the Program fees, however, the owner would be required to appear and present their request for a waiver of the penalty fees before City Council at the Public Hearing scheduled for June 9, 2026.
Should City Council choose to waive the fines and penalties as requested by this property owner, staff recommends in conformance with Policy and Procedure 170: User Fees and Charges Recovery, that the owner be responsible, at a minimum, for the full cost of all staff time and efforts made to achieve compliance. These costs include staff time spent on preparing reports, drafting letters (including late fee notices and infraction letters), issuing the notice of public hearing, meeting with the property managers, responding to emails, conducting research, serving notices, and completing all required mailings, including certified mail for the Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien. The total cost of these services for this property is $2,064.
1590 Frisbie Court – 6 Units (APN: 128-290-042)
This property, located at 2237 Hillsborough Court, is owned by the same owners (Kevin and Cheryl Nord) as the property discussed above. As of the publication of this staff report, Kevin and Cheryl Nord have registered the six units but have not paid the associated Program fees totaling $282. The total amount owed to the City, including both the base Program fees and the assessed penalty charges, is $5,103.07. The property owners have objected to staff regarding the penalty charges in the amount of $4,821.07.
Prior to providing registration data on May 27, 2026, for FY 2024-2025, this property had not registered with the Program since its inception in 2021. For the 2024-2025 registration cycle, staff mailed all the notices described above in the Background section to the property owner at the address on record with Contra Costa County. Supporting documentation for the property is included as Attachment 4.
Additionally, this property has an outstanding balance with the City’s Multi-family Housing Inspection Program in the amount of $5,469 and a delinquent Business License.
Issuance of the City’s Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien to the property owners was handled at the same time and in the same manner as the notice for 2237 Hillsborough Court, which is discussed above.
As provided above in the section discussing 2237 Hillsborough Court, the owner of the subject property made contact with staff on May 7, 2026. Staff were again contacted by the owner on May 11, 2026. The owner was provided the APN and pin combination for the subject property and was directed to instruction sheets that are available online.

June 9, 2026
On May 26, 2026, staff received an email from Lisa Carbajal from GCM Realty requesting the APN and pin combination for the subject property and included a copy of a Property Management Agreement between the firm and the owner of the property, Kevin Nord. On May 27, 2026, Ms. Carbajal logged into the system, claimed the subject property as the property manager, and added all required data for the six rental units located on the property. Payment was submitted by Mrs. Carbajal through the Program portal for the base Program fees for the 2025-2026 Rent Registry cycle. No payment was made at this time for the Program fees, late fees or fines assessed on the subject property for the 2024-2025 Program cycle.
As provided above in the section discussing 2237 Hillsborough Court, staff received an email from Ms. Carbajal from GCM Realty on June 1, 2026. The email informed the City that GCM Realty now manages the subject property and provided that the owners are prepared to pay the actual base registration costs for the 2024-2025 Program period, however, they are requesting a waiver of all fines and penalties. Staff responded to Mrs.
Carbajal’s email informing her that we can accept the payment of the Program fees, however, the owner would be required to appear and present their request for a waiver of the penalty fees before City Council at the Public Hearing scheduled for June 9, 2026.
Should Council choose to waive the fines and penalties as requested by the property owner, staff recommends in conformance with Policy and Procedure 170: User Fees and Charges Recovery, that the owner be responsible, at a minimum, for the all staff time and efforts made to achieve compliance. These costs include staff time spent on preparing reports, drafting letters (including late fee notices and infraction letters), issuing the notice of public hearing, meeting with the property managers, responding to emails, conducting research, serving notices, and completing all required mailings, including certified mail for the Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien. The total cost of these services for this property is $2,064.
The Resolution in Attachment 1 authorizes a lien on the two properties to recover Program fees, accrued interest, and administrative citation fines for non-payment. This process will result in the City being paid such fees prior to any transfer of real property.
Should the property owner pay the assessed fees to the County, the City will remove the lien.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively, “CEQA”), the imposition of alien does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Sections 15060(c), 15273, and/or 15378 and/or are exempt from CEQA review because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect

physical change in the environment, and/or because it involves government funding/fiscal activities. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,” and the Class 21 Exemption under Section 15321 as an action of a regulatory agency to enforce its rental registry ordinance. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
Financial Impact
The City has incurred costs, as provided below for each property, to implement the Rent Registry Program as required under the Residential Tenant Protection Program Ordinance codified in CMC Chapter 19.40.

/
WHEREAS, the City of Concord (City) has adopted a Residential Tenant Protection Program (Concord Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 19.40) (“Residential Rent Registry Program” or “Program”), intended to address a critical shortage of rental housing in the City, which shortage makes it very difficult to find adequate, safe, and habitable rental housing at reasonable rents, and to maintain public health and safety and quality of life for Concord's residents; and WHEREAS, as part of that Program, pursuant to CMC Section 19.40.060 (Annual Rental Registration) all property owners of covered rental units must register with the City, provide tenancy and rent information pertaining to their Concord rental property(s), and pay associated Residential Rent Registry Program fees as set forth in the City Council-adopted Resolution Establishing Fees and Charges for Various Municipal Services; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CONCORD DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively, “CEQA”), the imposition of a lien does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Sections 15060(c), 15273, and/or 15378 and/or are exempt from CEQA review because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and/or because it involves government funding/fiscal activities. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,” and the Class 21 Exemption under Section 15321 as an action of a regulatory agency to enforce its rental registry ordinance. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
Section 2. Confirms the unpaid abatement fees, costs, and charges of $3,402.04 shall constitute a lien against the property located at 2237 Hillsborough Court, Concord, California 94520 (APN: 110-260-009) and the unpaid abatement fees, costs, and charges of $5,103.07 shall constitute a lien against the property located at 1590 Frisbie Court, Concord, California 94520 (APN: 128-290- 042), as more particularly described in Exhibit A.
Section 3. Authorizes the City Attorney, in her discretion, to undertake necessary or desirable legal actions to collect the Program fees, accrued interest, fines, and/or penalties for properties which
Res No. 26-XX 5
have not fully complied with the registration requirements pursuant to the City of Concord’s Residential Tenant Protection Program (CMC Chapter 19.40, including but not limited to CMC section 19.40.060 Annual Rental Registration) including but not limited to imposition of a lien or special assessment via the Auditor-Controller of Contra Costa County, filing and defending lawsuits, filing liens, and all other legal means; authorizes the City Attorney to negotiate settlement terms and amounts in her discretion; and further authorizes the City Attorney and City Manager to execute all associated documents associated with any of the foregoing, subject to City Attorney approval.
Section 4. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54988(a), the City Attorney, City Manager, or designee is authorized to make the amount of unpaid fees, costs, or charges listed in Section 2 a lien against those respective properties to “be collected at the same time and in the same manner as property taxes are collected.” Pursuant to Government Code Section 54988(c), and at the discretion of the City Attorney, the City Council also authorizes the City Attorney, City Manager, or designee to record a lien to “have the same force, priority, and effect as a judgment lien, not a tax lien.” Section 5. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6(f), the property owners are hereby notified that the time within which judicial review must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6. The City Clerk shall send a certified copy of this resolution to the property owners by certified mail.

Moving forward beginning in 2025, reporting will only be required for one fiscal year at a time. We appreciate your cooperation during this first year and are here to answer any questions you may have Claim of Exemption:
Not all rental units are subject to the provisions of the Ordinance. You are receiving this notice because the City's previous Rent Registry inventory list indicates that the above referenced property is a rental property and/or the County Assessor's Office show that you pay property taxes for the above-referenced property and you do not claim a homeowners’ property tax exemption. Therefore, the City is assuming the property is a rental unit. Please understand the City is in the first year of implementing an expanded Rent Registry Program and we appreciate your cooperation as we identify rental units that are subject to the provisions of the Ordinance.
Please refer to Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40* to determine if your rental unit(s) are exempt from the provisions of the Ordinance. If your rental unit is exempt from the Ordinance, you must claim an exemption in the City’s Rental Registry. Until and unless you claim an exemption, the City will assume your rental unit is subject to the provisions of the Ordinance, and will commence enforcement accordingly.
Compliance:
Property owners are responsible for complying with the City’s Ordinance. The City may commence enforcement against any landlord who fails to register a rental unit, or provide current and accurate data regarding a rental unit.

Subject: Subject: Request for Waiver of Rent Registry Late Fees – Account Number: 110260009 EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email originated from outside of the City of Concord. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Subject: Request for Waiver of Rent Registry Late Fees – Account Number: 110260009 To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing on behalf of the property owner to formally request a waiver of all accrued late penalty fees associated with Account Number 110260009, and to request permission to pay the standard base registration costs from inception.
Our property management firm was recently retained by the owner to assist with their Concord rental inventory after they experienced severe compliance difficulties due to extended out-of-state travel. The owner is a Mormon whose duties require long periods of travel outside of California, during which time they did not receive the initial physical notifications sent to their P.O. Box. Upon returning and discovering the penalty notices, they immediately sought our professional assistance to bring the properties into full compliance.
The status of the owner’s two Concord properties under this account is as follows:
1590 Frisbie Ct Concord, CA 94520
o Status: Successfully registered. Our firm manages this property and has fully completed the rent registry requirements and inputs.
2237 Hillsborough Ct, Concord, CA 94520 (4 Units)
o Status: Registration data submitted to the best of our ability. While our firm does not formally manage this specific property, I have personally stepped in to assist the out-of- state owner with the portal. The owner made numerous, attempts to access the online system but was unable to complete the data input. I have now populated the system with all available tenant information so that the property can successfully participate in the registry moving forward.
2 Given that the owner acted in good faith, faced technical system barriers, and is a small-scale provider who only owns these two local properties, we respectfully ask that the City waive all late penalties. We are fully prepared to pay the actual base registration costs for these four units from the inception of the program.
Please review this request and advise on the total base cost due from inception, as well as the preferred method for us to submit this payment. You may contact me directly at or [email protected].
Thank you for your time, understanding, and assistance in resolving this matter.
Sincerely
Lisa Carbajal, COO

Claim of Exemption:
Not all rental units are subject to the provisions of the Ordinance. You are receiving this notice because the City's previous Rent Registry inventory list indicates that the above referenced property is a rental property and/or the County Assessor's Office show that you pay property taxes for the above-referenced property and you do not claim a homeowners’ property tax exemption. Therefore, the City is assuming the property is a rental unit. Please understand the City is in the first year of implementing an expanded Rent Registry Program and we appreciate your cooperation as we identify rental units that are subject to the provisions of the Ordinance.
Please refer to Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40* to determine if your rental unit(s) are exempt from the provisions of the Ordinance. If your rental unit is exempt from the Ordinance, you must claim an exemption in the City’s Rental Registry. Until and unless you claim an exemption, the City will assume your rental unit is subject to the provisions of the Ordinance, and will commence enforcement accordingly.
Compliance:
Property owners are responsible for complying with the City’s Ordinance. The City may commence enforcement against any landlord who fails to register a rental unit, or provide current and accurate data regarding a rental unit. Please refer to Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40 for more information. After submission of the initial registry form online, City staff will be in contact with you after January 19, 2025 if any further information or action is needed to complete your registration.
Our staff is ready and available to assist you. If you require any assistance or to make an in-person appointment at our Concord Senior Center, please contact us at (925) 671-5070 or [email protected]. There is more information about staff support in the inserted flyer.

The City is in the first year of an expanded Rent Registry Program that addresses Concord's Rent Stabilization and Just Cause of Eviction regulations. For this first year, you will be asked to provide current rent and tenancy information as well as certain information as of July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2024. Moving forward beginning in 2025, reporting will only be required for one fiscal year at a time. We appreciate your cooperation during this first year.
Filing an Exemption:
Not all rental units are subject to the provisions of the Ordinance. You are receiving this notice because the City's previous Rent Registry inventory list indicates that the above referenced property is a rental property and/or records from the County Assessor's Office show that you do not claim a homeowners’ property tax exemption for this property. Therefore, the City is assuming the property is a rental unit.
If your rental unit is exempt from the Ordinance, you must file an exemption in the City’s Rental Registry. The most common property exemption is if your are an owner of a single family home or condominium and you have either never rented your home, or have not rented it since July 1, 2023. A common unit level exemption includes one where the unit is owner-occupied and does not meet the definition of a rental unit. For a complete list of exemptions and to learn more, please contact staff or visit the Rent Program website at www.cityofconcord.org/rentprogram. To make it easier for you to inform us that your property is exempt from the Rent Registry, you can use the online Rent Registry Portal, call us, or email us. Single family and condominium owners may also use the attached form and return it to us.
Compliance/Enforcement:
Property owners are responsible for complying with the City’s Ordinance. The City may commence enforcement against any landlord who fails to register a rental unit, or provide current and accurate data regarding a rental unit.
The Ordinance prohibits property owners that are required to register their unit but fail to do so from imposing annual rent increases. Enforcement may also include fines and penalties for noncompliance with the Rent Registry. For more information see Ordinance Section 19.40.060 which can be found at
https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Concord/#!/Concord19/Concord1940.html#19.40.060.
Our staff is here to assist you. T o make an in-person appointment at the Concord Senior Center or to speak with us by phone or email, please see the inserted flyer.

Effective April 19, 2024, the City of Concord adopted an amendment to City Municipal Code 19.40 Residential T enant Protection Program to increase just cause eviction protections, expand the City’s rent registry, and establish a rent stabilization program (“Ordinance”). The goal of the new regulations is to stabilize the community and minimize displacement of residents, while also allowing property owners to make a fair return on their investments. Under the Ordinance, the City must maintain a rental registry and all landlords with rental units in the City of Concord must complete and submit registration forms for each rental unit.
For more information see Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40, Section 19.40.060. T o access the Ordinance, please visit our website at www.cityofconcord.org/rentprogram, and click on the Policies tab.

Subject: Request for Waiver of Rent Registry Late Fees – Account Number: 110260009 To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing on behalf of the property owner to formally request a waiver of all accrued late penalty fees associated with Account Number 110260009, and to request permission to pay the standard base registration costs from inception.
Our property management firm was recently retained by the owner to assist with their Concord rental inventory after they experienced severe compliance difficulties due to extended out-of-state travel. The owner is a Mormon whose duties require long periods of travel outside of California, during which time they did not receive the initial physical notifications sent to their P.O. Box. Upon returning and discovering the penalty notices, they immediately sought our professional assistance to bring the properties into full compliance.
The status of the owner’s two Concord properties under this account is as follows:
1590 Frisbie Ct Concord, CA 94520
o Status: Successfully registered. Our firm manages this property and has fully completed the rent registry requirements and inputs.
2237 Hillsborough Ct, Concord, CA 94520 (4 Units)
o Status: Registration data submitted to the best of our ability. While our firm does not formally manage this specific property, I have personally stepped in to assist the out-of- state owner with the portal. The owner made numerous, attempts to access the online system but was unable to complete the data input. I have now populated the system with all available tenant information so that the property can successfully participate in the registry moving forward.
2 Given that the owner acted in good faith, faced technical system barriers, and is a small-scale provider who only owns these two local properties, we respectfully ask that the City waive all late penalties. We are fully prepared to pay the actual base registration costs for these four units from the inception of the program.
Please review this request and advise on the total base cost due from inception, as well as the preferred method for us to submit this payment. You may contact me directly at or [email protected].
Thank you for your time, understanding, and assistance in resolving this matter.
Sincerely
Lisa Carbajal, COO

Res No. 26-XX 1
BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CONCORD
COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A Resolution Approving the Collection
of Rent
Registry Fees, Accrued Interest, Fines, and/or
Penalties for Properties which have Failed to Comply
with the Registration Requirements Pursuant to the
City of Concord’s Residential Tenant Protection
Program (Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40,
Including but not Limited to Section
19.40.060 Annual Rental Registration) via Imposition
of a Lien, Lawsuit and/or Legal Means
Resolution No. 26-XX
/
WHEREAS, the City of Concord (City) has adopted a Residential Tenant Protection Program (Concord Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 19.40) (“Residential Rent Registry Program” or “Program”), intended to address a critical shortage of rental housing in the City, which shortage makes it very difficult to find adequate, safe, and habitable rental housing at reasonable rents, and to maintain public health and safety and quality of life for Concord's residents; and WHEREAS, as part of that Program, pursuant to CMC Section 19.40.060 (Annual Rental Registration)
all property owners of covered rental units must register with the City, provide tenancy and rent information pertaining to their Concord rental property(s), and pay associated Residential Rent Registry Program fees as set forth in the City Council-adopted Resolution Establishing Fees and Charges for Various Municipal Services; and
WHEREAS, those persons identified in Attachment 1, Exhibit A were mailed a series of six notices between November 2024 and November 2025 with information about the City’s requirement to register for the 2024-2025 registration period. The notices included two registration letters mailed on November 18, 2024, and February 14, 2025, during the 2024-2025 open registration period; one Past Due Notice mailed on May 1, 2025; and three Notice of Imposition of Administrative Citation, Fines, and Penalties mailed on August 27, 2025, September 30, 2025, and November 26, 2025, respectively; and
WHEREAS, the Past Due Notice and the three Notice of Imposition of Administrative Citation, Fines, and Penalties informed these persons that they were in violation of their obligation to Attachment 1
Res No. 26-XX 2
register their residential rental units and pay their Residential Rent Registry Program fees under the City of Concord’s Program; and
WHEREAS, these persons were provided at least 45 days to comply with said obligation but failed to do so; and
WHEREAS, after failing to comply, said persons were served by certified mail at the last known address of the property owners with a final Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Imposition of Special Assessment or Lien, issued on April 1, 2026, notifying said persons that a special assessment or lien may be imposed on the subject property if they continued to fail to comply with their registration obligations by the date of their scheduled Public Hearing before City Council on June 9, 2026; and
WHEREAS, despite said notices and the opportunity to cure their failure to comply, said persons have failed to meet their obligations to register their residential rental units within the Program; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CMC Section 19.40.060, if the properties are not duly registered or all or any portion of such fees are unpaid, the City “may recover the outstanding amounts, plus accrued interest, fines, and penalties, utilizing any remedies provided by law or in equity, including lien procedures established by ordinance or state law”; and WHEREAS, violations of the CMC are enforced through notices, citations, fees and fines issued and assessed by the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to CMC Sections 1.05.210 (Enforcement remedies; continuing violations) and 8.25.030 (Additional Code sections related to public nuisances), any violation of the CMC is declared to be unlawful and a public nuisance, constitutes a public nuisance, and is subject to civil, criminal, and administrative remedies as set forth in CMC Chapter 8.25 (Neighborhood Preservation), Article I (Public Nuisances); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to such CMC sections and Government Code Section 54988(a), the City is authorized to collect delinquent registry fees, accrued interest, late charges, and impose fines, and/or penalties; and
Res No. 26-XX 3
WHEREAS, pursuant to CMC Section 8.25.090 (Payment of costs), the City may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies for the recovery of fines and/or associated charges owed to the City, including liens, foreclosures, special assessments, and civil actions; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CONCORD DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively, “CEQA”), the imposition of a lien does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Sections 15060(c), 15273, and/or 15378 and/or are exempt from CEQA review because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and/or because it involves government funding/fiscal activities. Even if Council action on this item did constitute a project under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,” and the Class 21 Exemption under Section 15321 as an action of a regulatory agency to enforce its rental registry ordinance. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.
Section 2. Confirms the unpaid abatement fees, costs, and charges of $3,402.04 $3,214.04 shall constitute a lien against the property located at 2237 Hillsborough Court, Concord, California 94520 (APN: 110-260-009) and the unpaid abatement fees, costs, and charges of $5,103.07 $4,821.07 shall constitute a lien against the property located at 1590 Frisbie Court, Concord, California 94520 (APN: 128-290-042), as more particularly described in Exhibit A.
Section 3. Authorizes the City Attorney, in her discretion, to undertake necessary or desirable legal actions to collect the Program fees, accrued interest, fines, and/or penalties for properties which
Res No. 26-XX 5
have not fully complied with the registration requirements pursuant to the City of Concord’s Residential Tenant Protection Program (CMC Chapter 19.40, including but not limited to CMC section 19.40.060 Annual Rental Registration) including but not limited to imposition of a lien or special assessment via the Auditor-Controller of Contra Costa County, filing and defending lawsuits, filing liens, and all other legal means; authorizes the City Attorney to negotiate settlement terms and amounts in her discretion; and further authorizes the City Attorney and City Manager to execute all associated documents associated with any of the foregoing, subject to City Attorney approval.
Section 4. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54988(a), the City Attorney, City Manager, or designee is authorized to make the amount of unpaid fees, costs, or charges listed in Section 2 a lien against those respective properties to “be collected at the same time and in the same manner as property taxes are collected.” Pursuant to Government Code Section 54988(c), and at the discretion of the City Attorney, the City Council also authorizes the City Attorney, City Manager, or designee to record a lien to “have the same force, priority, and effect as a judgment lien, not a tax lien.” Section 5. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6(f), the property owners are hereby notified that the time within which judicial review must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6. The City Clerk shall send a certified copy of this resolution to the property owners by certified mail.
Section 6. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption and a certified copy shall be forwarded to the Auditor-Controller of Contra Costa County who shall cause the appropriate lien to be recorded on title.

Yes, the Nords own both properties.
As to the references to Hillsborough Court under the Frisbie Court Analysis section: Those references are made to demonstrate that the same steps occurred for the Frisbie Court property as the Hillsborough Court property. Hence the use of the phrase, “as provided above in the section discussing 2237 Hillsborough Court. ”
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Valerie,
Do the Nords own BOTH the Hillsborough and Frisbie Court properties? The staff report is extremely confusing as it keeps referencing 2373 Hillsborough Court even in the section that is supposed to be discussing the Frisbie Court property. I need some clarification, please.

Chair, Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement 1020 N Street, Room 153
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: AB 1383 (McKinnor) — Public employees’ retirement benefits.
OPPOSE (As Amended May 13, 2026)
Dear Assembly Member McKinnor,
The City of Concord must respectfully oppose AB 1383, which would make several significant changes to the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) and lead to increased pension liability and pension related costs for public agencies, including the City of Concord.
PEPRA was designed to address systemic issues in public pension sustainability and has been instrumental in helping local agencies stabilize long-term pension costs and protect the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) from insolvency. AB 1383 would upend many of the reforms established in 2013.
While we recognize and appreciate the Legislature’s intent to support recruitment and retention of essential public safety professionals, AB 1383 would increase mandated costs without any identified funding. The bill’s cost exposure arrives amid fiscal volatility and market uncertainty; compounding increased benefit costs with investment risk will translate into serious and immediate pressure on local government budgets.
The City of Concord’s pension obligations are already under significant strain. According to the most recent actuarial analysis of the City’s Safety Plan, the City’s plan is 61.3% funded, with an Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) of $153.2 million as of June 30, 2024. The City’s required FY 2026-27 pension contributions total approximately $18.8 million, equivalent to nearly 75% of projected safety payroll, and contributions are projected to continue rising through FY 2031-32 under current law, even assuming CalPERS meets its 6.8% investment return target each year—which is not certain.
The plan is also deeply mature: 229 retirees are drawing benefits supported by only 136 active officers (a 59% support ratio). This structural imbalance makes Concord’s plan highly sensitive to investment volatility and benefit enhancements. Of every UAL dollar Concord pays in FY 2026-27, approximately 70 cents goes to interest rather than principal reduction, meaning the City is barely keeping pace with pension debt accumulation under current law.
7.a
CalPERS’ actuarial cost analysis indicates AB 1383’s mandatory provisions, including shifting the safety retirement formula for PEPRA members from 2.7% @ 57 to 2.7% @ 55 and increasing the pensionable compensation cap, would increase statewide annual normal cost contributions by $343 million in year one and raise the present value of future benefits by $5.3 billion. The analysis further estimates an immediate $370 million increase to accrued liabilities across all CalPERS plans, creating new UAL amortization bases from the moment the law takes effect.
For Concord specifically, AB 1383 would drive three compounding cost pressures:
• Mandatory formula change (2.7% @ 57 → 2.7% @ 55): Applies automatically to existing PEPRA safety members, increasing normal costs and creating new UAL without collective bargaining. Concord currently has 72 PEPRA officers whose future service accruals would be recalculated under the age-55 framework. There is a clear cost associated with this change but CalPERS has yet to estimate it for any individual city.
• Pensionable compensation cap increase: Raises the cap for Concord’s PEPRA officers from $155,081 to $280,000. The higher ceiling creates significant long-term exposure as officers advance in rank and seniority. CalPERS projects a median increase of 2.28% of payroll to total normal costs for non-pooled 2.7% @ 57 plans from this provision alone. This translates to a significant new cost.
• Optional 3% @ 55 formula: Although adoption of a 3% formula would require collective bargaining, once codified it will exert immediate pressure at the bargaining table, especially if neighboring agencies adopt it. CalPERS estimates a median increase of approximately 3.56% to total normal costs for non-pooled 2.7% plans should the 3% @ 55 formula be negotiated, potentially adding millions of dollars annually for Concord.
AB 1383 arrives during CalPERS’ Asset Liability Management (ALM) review. If the CalPERS Board reduces the discount rate, Concord’s accrued liabilities would rise substantially. The City’s actuarial valuation shows that a 1% discount rate reduction would increase Concord’s UAL from $395.7 million to approximately $450.1 million and reduce the funded ratio from 61.3% to 53.9%, on top of any new obligations introduced by AB 1383.
Simultaneously, local agencies face declining revenues, rising service costs, and heightened uncertainty regarding federal funding. Concord has no identified revenue source to absorb the mandated pension cost increases AB 1383 would impose. Concord is currently spending more each year than it is bringing in and this situation is projected to continue into the next budget cycle, forcing the City to reduce services and spending or spend its reserves down further decreasing the City’s long-term fiscal stability.
Should this new law be passed, this financial struggle for Concord will worsen.
AB 1383 includes no funding to offset mandated cost increases. These costs will be absorbed by Concord’s General Fund, the same fund that pays for police services, park maintenance, road repairs, code enforcement, and senior and recreation programs that residents rely on every day. When mandatory pension costs increase without new revenue, the City faces unavoidable choices: reduce services, defer critical infrastructure maintenance, deplete reserves, or pursue new taxes/fees requiring voter approval.
None of these alternatives are cost-free; they affect the broader community, particularly lower-income neighborhoods, without directly benefiting from the enhanced pension provisions.
The League of California Cities has raised concerns that AB 1383 expands benefits exclusively for safety members, widening an already significant compensation gap with non-safety city workers who serve with equal dedication and may reasonably expect comparable treatment in future bargaining.
PEPRA reforms are working, as they have already generated $5.8 billion in savings for CalPERS agencies since 2013, with an additional $26.5 billion in savings projected across the next decade. For Concord, the gradual transition to a workforce predominantly composed of PEPRA members is the primary mechanism by which the City’s normal cost rate is projected to decline from 20.32% today to
17.0% by FY 2031–32. AB 1383 would arrest and reverse that trajectory, eliminating a decade of anticipated cost relief just as it begins to materialize.
Concord shares the Legislature’s concern about public safety staffing and is actively addressing it through competitive compensation, improved working conditions, and targeted recruitment. However, increasing pension benefits is not a cost-free recruiting tool and can diminish the City’s ability to offer salary increases that are often more effective for retention and recruitment.
For all of the reasons above, the City of Concord respectfully OPPOSES AB 1383. We urge the Legislature to consider targeted alternatives that address public safety recruitment and retention without dismantling the fiscal guardrails that PEPRA provides.

Laura M. Nakamura

RE: NOTICE OF SUPPORT – AB 2002 (Solache) – Local government assistance: Regional Early Action Planning Fund
Dear Assembly Member Solache,
On behalf of the City of Concord (City), I am writing to express our strong support for AB 2002, a bill that would provide much -needed support for local governments navigating housing and planning responsibilities by codifying the proven Regional Early Act ion Planning (REAP) program.
The Legislature has continually passed laws over the last decade to address the statewide housing crisis, including fundamental changes to the housing element update process, which is critical for planning future residential development. These law are to ensure jurisdictions do their part to address California’s severe and long -standing housing shortage. However, the changes and frequency of changes in housing laws continue to become more burdensome on local jurisdictions without offering a commensurate lev el of support from the state.
For example, developing and implementing the sixth cycle housing element has been costly to local governments given the required time intensive, data -driven planning, intergovernmental collaboration, and keen understanding of technical and ever -evolving housing element law. The seventh cycle promises to be even more complex, with local governments being required to analyze additional income categories, conduct interviews with households with special housing needs, meet expanded equity and environmental stan dards, and undergo enhanced review by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
In addition, due to Senate Bill (SB) 131, jurisdictions will need to prepare a legally defensible environmental document that will analyze the environmental impacts of all rezoning actions that implement the housing element, creating a large upfront cost that could previously be done at the project level and therefore funded by project applicants. These changes reflect important state priorities — but they cannot be met without stable, dedicated support and financial assistance.
The REAP model is a proven program that has provided jurisdictions with this much -needed technical and financial assistance. The first and second rounds of REAP have been instrumental for Concord in
7.b
adopting and implementing a compliant housing element and staying in conformance with rapidly evolving housing laws. The City has utilized REAP resources to develop and implement its housing element, adopt policies and programs that streamline housing approvals, develop objective design standards, and prepare its Annual Progress Report. The City has also gained efficiencies through collaboration and shared resources via the REAP -funded Regional Housing Technical Assistance program led by the Association of Bay Area Governments/Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
By codifying REAP and establishing an ongoing framework to support regional governments and local jurisdictions, AB 2002 strengthens the foundation of California’s housing planning system. It will ensure that cities like Concord can continue to access crit ical technical assistance, data tools, and capacity - building resources necessary to meet its housing and zoning obligations.
For these reasons, the City of Concord is pleased to support AB 2002 (Solache).
Sincerely,
Laura M. Nakamura
