▪ NOC (PDF)
▪ Agency Mailing/Distribution List (Excel)
▪ 1 unbound hardcopy of the IS/MND (with appendices on a thumb drive) ▪ 3 bound hardcopies of the IS/MND (with appendices on a thumb drive) ▪ 25 thumb drives of the IS/MND
Task 6 Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Upon completion of the public review period, Dudek will review comments received and prepare responses to comments. Dudek assumes no more than 10 individual comments will require responses (note that a single letter can have multiple individual comments). The Final IS/MND will include all comment letters received during the review period, responses to each comment, a preface, and, if applicable, a discussion of any edits made to the IS/MND as a result of the comments received.
Dudek will provide the City with an electronic copy of the Final IS/MND for review. Dudek will incorporate the City’s comments into the Final IS/MND and submit the Final IS/MND to the City for approval.
In the event the City approves the project and adopts the MND, Dudek will prepare and file a Notice of Determination (NOD) at the County Clerk pursuant to the CEQA noticing requirements (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15075). The cost estimate includes the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and County Clerk filing fees for the NOD.
Task 6 Deliverables
▪ Final IS/MND, Administrative Draft (Word)
▪ Final IS/MMD, Screencheck Draft (Word)
▪ Final IS/MND, Final Version (Word and PDF)
▪ 5 thumb drives of the Final IS/MND
▪ NOD (PDF)
Dudek will distribute an electronic copy of the Final IS/MND in Microsoft Word files for City review. No hard copies will be provided. Dudek will address any edits and prepare a Screencheck Final IS/MND to be provided to the City.
Comments on the Screencheck Final IS/MND are assumed to be minimal. Dudek will then provide the City with a finalized version in Microsoft Word and PDF. No hard copies will be provided; however, in the event that comments are received from agencies, Dudek will be responsible for sending a copy of the Final IS/MND (on thumb drives) to the commenting agencies prior to the City’s adoption hearing for the MND. This scope and cost assumes that there will be no more than 5 commenting agencies.
Task 7 Project Management and Meetings
This scope of work includes up to two coordination calls per month during preparation of the IS/MND (for a total of 14 calls) and Ms. Finneyfrock’s attendance at one Planning Commission and one City Council hearing for the project. This task also includes overseeing internal staff, the subconsultant, managing document review, preparation of memos, and other project management tasks.

3 Schedule
Table 1 presents the anticipated schedule for completion of the IS/MND. The schedule assumes timely receipt of responses to any data needs submitted by Dudek. Other factors that could lengthen or shorten the schedule include dates of receipt of project information, length of project team review, and unanticipated issues arising from City staff or public review of the IS/MND.

Finalize and publish Draft IS/MND 2 weeks
Public Review (30 days) 4 weeks
Prepare Final IS/MND 3 weeks *
City review 3 weeks *
Prepare Screencheck Final IS/MND 2 weeks
City review 1 week
Submit Final IS/MND 1 week
Total 7.5 months
Note: * Assumes that minor, non-substantive comments are received during the public review period. An unanticipated volume of comment letters and/or substantive comments may require additional time and additional rounds of review with the City. 4 Assumptions
This proposal assumes that the results of the Initial Study analysis described under Task 4 will clearly demonstrate that an IS/MND is the appropriate CEQA document for the project and that the triggers for an EIR (i.e., significant, unavoidable/unmitigable effects to the environment) will not be met. In the event that the analysis in the Initial Study reveals that one or more significant and unavoidable effects could result from the project, Dudek can prepare an EIR upon request and under a separate scope and cost. This scope and cost also assumes timely receipt of all data needs requests from Dudek and FKA that are necessary to perform the environmental analysis. Industry standards and assumptions may be used in certain cases when project-specific information is not available. This scope and cost does not include any coordination or assistance with Caltrans permitting.
5 Cost Estimate
The preliminary cost estimate for completion of the IS/MND without Optional Task 3 is $87,199.62. Including Optional Task 3, the total cost estimate is $137,458.87, as shown below (Table 2). The cost of completing the tasks will be billed on a time-and-materials basis following Dudek’s 2022 bill rate schedule. The final project budget will be based on the approved scope of work. This cost estimate is valid for 90 days from the date of this letter.

Title: Consideration of Resolutions CC 2022-95, CC 2022-96 and CC 2022-97, Authorizing Annexation of Territory to City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services) (Annexation No. 32), and to Call and Hold a Special Election (155 E.
Covina Boulevard, Covina)
Presented By: Brian K. Lee, Director of Community Development Recommendation: 1. City Council to open the public hearing and consider public testimony and close the public hearing; and
2. Adopt Resolution CC 2022-95, authorizing the annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Annexation No. 32) and authorizing the levy of a special tax and submitting the levy of tax to the qualified electors; and
3. Adopt Resolution CC 2022-96, calling a special election and submitting to the voters of Annexation No. 32 of City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), propositions regarding the annual levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 32 to finance public services, and the establishment of an appropriations limit; and
4. Adopt Resolution CC 2022-97, making certain findings, certifying the results of an election and adding property to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), Annexation No. 32.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:
At the August 16, 2022, City Council meeting, the Council adopted the boundary map showing territory proposed to be annexed as Annexation No. 32, and declared its intention to authorize the annexation of that territory to Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2007-1 (Public Services).
The purpose of the CFD is to finance the public safety and park services that are provided to the territory within the District beyond that provided by the City generally. In Fiscal Year 2022-2023, it has been determined that the cost of these services, for each additional multi-family residential home, will be $589.87 per year. This program has been conceived with the intention that all future residential development, which results in a net increase of non-exempted residential units, would be required to annex to the CFD. The project at 155 E. Covina Boulevard, Covina has a total of thirty-eight (38) new multi-family residential units. The special tax will be applicable to thirty-eight (38) multi-family residential units in Annexation No. 32.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the public hearing is to 1) authorize the annexation of territory to the CFD (Annexation No. 32); 2) call and hold an election of property owners within the CFD, and 3) authorize the levy of a special tax within Annexation No. 32 to the CFD. The related resolutions are hereby presented to the City Council, pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for thirty-eight (38) new multi-family residential units to be built at 155 E. Covina Boulevard, Covina, California.
Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for development of a multi-family development at 155 E. Covina Boulevard, Covina, the applicant agreed to annex to the CFD, or to pay an in lieu fee based on the financial impact on Police, Fire, Emergency, and Parks services. The builder opted to annex into the CFD. Under the proposed CFD, in Fiscal Year 2022-2023, any newly constructed, non-exempted multi-family residential units are charged $589.87 per year for the following services: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. This Special Tax appears on the annual Property Tax bill for each unit. The Special Tax authorized by the CFD shall be levied on all units for which building permits were issued on or before May 1 of the preceding fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The “Special Tax” authorized by the proposed Community Facilities District (CFD) will generate $22,415.06 annually, based on thirty-eight (38) net-new multi-family residential units at the FY 2022-2023 tax rate of $589.87 per multi-family unit and will be deposited to Account No. 2740-4800-45800. The Special Tax shall be used to pay for the following additional services in the District: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. The Special Tax will increase annually by the greater of two percent (2.00%), or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
Staff has determined that the annexation of the does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because such annexation involves the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

Resolution CC 2022-95 Page 2 of 4
SECTION 3. Boundaries. The description and map of the boundaries of the territory to be annexed to CFD No. 2007-1, on file with the City Clerk, are hereby finally approved, are incorporated herein by reference, and shall be included within the boundaries of CFD No. 2007- 1, and said territory is hereby annexed to CFD No. 2007-1, subject to voter approval of the levy of the special taxes therein as hereinafter provided.
SECTION 4. Services. The services which CFD No. 2007-1 is authorized to finance are in addition to those provided in or required for the territory within CFD No. 2007-1 and the territory to be annexed to CFD No. 2007-1 and will not be replacing services already available.
A general description of the services to be financed is as follows:
PUBLIC SERVICES
New police services, fire protection and suppression services, paramedic services, and park maintenance, including but not limited to (i) the costs of contracting services, (ii) related facilities, equipment, vehicles, ambulances, fire apparatus and supplies, (iii) the salaries and benefits of City staff that directly provide police services, fire protection and suppression services, paramedic services, and park maintenance respectively, and (iv) City overhead costs associated with providing such services within CFD No. 2007-1. The Special Tax provides only partial funding for Public Services.
SECTION 5. Special Taxes. It is the intention of this City Council that, except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for said services to be provided in CFD No. 2007-1 and the territory proposed to be annexed as part of Annexation No. 32, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in Annexation No. 32, will be levied annually within the boundaries of Annexation No. 32 from and after the annexation of such property to CFD No. 2007-1. The special taxes shall be those as originally authorized through the formation of CFD No. 2007-1 and adopted by Ordinance of this legislative body, and no changes or modifications are proposed in the special taxes from those as originally set forth and made applicable to CFD No. 2007-1.
For particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the proposed special tax (the “RMA”), reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit “A,” which sets forth in sufficient detail the method of apportionment to allow each landowner or resident within Annexation No. 32 to clearly estimate the maximum annual amount that said person will have to pay on said special tax.
SECTION 6. Election. The provisions of the Resolution of Intention of the City, each as heretofore adopted by this Council, are by this reference incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein.
(a) Pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the proposition of the levy of the special tax within Annexation No. 32 shall be submitted to the voters within Annexation No. 32 at an election called therefore as hereinafter provided. This Council hereby finds that twelve (12) or more persons have not been registered to vote within Annexation No. 32 for each of the 90 days preceding the close of the hearing heretofore conducted and
Resolution CC 2022-95 Page 3 of 4
concluded by this Council for the purposes of these annexation proceedings. Accordingly, and pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act, this Council finds that for purposes of these proceedings the qualified electors are the landowners within Annexation No. 32 and that the vote shall be by said landowners, each having one vote for each acre or portion thereof such landowner owns in Annexation No. 32.
(b) Pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act, the election shall be conducted by mail ballot under applicable sections of the California Elections Code, commencing with Section 4000 of said code with respect to elections conducted by mail. The Council called a special election to consider the measures described and incorporated in the ballot, attached as Exhibit “B,” which election was held on September 20, 2022, (hereafter referred to as “Election Day”). The City Clerk was the election official to conduct the election and provided each landowner in the territory to be annexed to CFD No. 2007-1, a ballot in the form of Exhibit “B”, which form is hereby approved.

The staff determines that there are opportunities to further improve the selected provisions within the various chapters, which will facilitate development within the Specific Plan area. On August 23, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the proposed changes and received public testimony. Three persons participated in the virtual public meeting but did not provide comments. After concluding the public hearing, the Planning Commission at a 3-0-2 vote recommended approval to the City Council.

e.Add a definition for specialty cigar lounge with on-site alcohol. The description indicates that it is a smoking establishment for a single type of product, cigar only, and the characteristics of such establishment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The staff does not expect any fiscal impacts related to the Covina Town Center Specific Plan Amendment No. 3.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has analyzed the project, proposed Covina Town Center Specific Plan Amendment No. 3, and concluded that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the activity in question does not have a significant effect on the physical environment. Furthermore, the City has determined that the project does not involve substantial changes which will result in new significant environmental effects, and that the project does not involve new information of substantial importance, which shows that the project will have significant effects not discussed in the prior EIR (SCH – 2018081009) and SOC.
All potential environmental impacts associated with the adoption of the 2019 Covina Town Center Specific Plan (CTCSP) are adequately addressed by the prior certified EIR (SCH – 2018081009) and SOC, and the mitigation measures contained in the prior certified EIR (SCH – 2018081009) will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant. The CTCSP EIR serves as the previous CEQA document considered in this CEQA Analysis and is hereby incorporated by reference.

The City Council further determined that all of the findings were based upon the information and evidence set forth in the Final EIR and in the record of the proceedings.
The City Council further determined that each of the overriding benefits stated in the Findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations were justified despite any significant unavoidable impacts identified in the EIR; and

WHEREAS, staff has found there is a need to modify chapter 3 and add new land use categories and expand the local market on experiences, goods and services not currently available in the Specific Plan area, and to further improve, add and clarify standards and guidelines regarding setbacks, building height, signs, lighting, and public art within chapter 4; and WHEREAS, staff found there are minor editing and technical changes or additions needed for consistency and housekeeping purposes within chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the CTCSP document; and

effects, and that the project does not involve new information of substantial importance, which shows that the project will have significant effects not discussed in the prior EIR (SCH – 2018081009) and SOC. All potential environmental impacts associated with the adoption of the 2019 Covina Town Center Specific Plan (CTCSP) are adequately addressed by the prior certified EIR (SCH – 2018081009) and SOC, and the mitigation measures contained in the prior certified EIR (SCH – 2018081009) will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant. The CTCSP EIR serves as the previous CEQA document considered in this CEQA Analysis and is hereby incorporated by reference; and
WHEREAS, on July 26, 2022, and continued to August 9, 2002 and August 23, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed Amendment No. 3 to CTCSP. The Planning Commission concluded the hearing on August 23, 2022. The Planning Commission, by a 3-0-2 vote, adopted Resolution No. 2022-014 PC recommending to the City Council the approval of the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the CTCSP, as outlined in the attached Exhibit A to this Resolution CC 2022-99; and WHEREAS, on September 20, 2022, the City Council of the City of Covina held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the CTCSP and concluded the hearing on that date; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COVINA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein and made an operative part of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. In considering this application relative to the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) Guidelines, the City Council affirms the determination of the Planning Commission that the Covina Town Center Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 is not subject to the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3). 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, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Further, the City Council determined that the proposed Amendment No. 3 does not involve substantial changes which will result in new significant environmental effects, and that the project does not involve new information of substantial importance, which shows that the project will have significant effects not discussed in the prior EIR (SCH – 2018081009) and SOC. All potential environmental impacts associated with the adoption of the 2019 Covina Town Center Specific Plan (CTCSP) are adequately addressed by the prior certified EIR (SCH – 2018081009) and SOC, and the mitigation measures contained in the prior certified EIR (SCH – 2018081009) will reduce those impacts to a level that is less than significant.
SECTION 3. The City Council has reviewed the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the CTCSP, the Planning Commission hearing input and reports, and all evidence received by the Planning Commission and at the City Council hearings, and all documents and evidences are hereby incorporated by reference into this Resolution. After giving full consideration to all evidence presented at the public hearing, both oral and written, and after being fully informed, the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Covina Center for the Performing Arts (“CCPA”) was designed by Frank Cox and built in 1920 at the northeast corner of Citrus Avenue and Badillo Street. Over the last 100 years, the CCPA has been an integral resource for Downtown Covina and the broader community – serving as a film house, performing arts venue and a local entertainment destination. Since its construction, the CCPA has undergone extensive modernization efforts, with its current owners completing seismic retrofitting, comprehensive interior improvements and the addition of audio/visual upgrades that uniquely serve a variety of live musical and theatrical performances.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the CCPA sat vacant and was unable to host live performances due to regional health orders. Also, during this time, the space was listed for sale and the City entered into discussions to acquire the facility. The City’s efforts would help to preserve the CCPA’s status as a local landmark in the Downtown commercial core and maintain its significance as a valuable performing arts space in the San Gabriel Valley.
In fall 2021, to bolster the City’s efforts to acquire the CCPA, the City was awarded a $3 million appropriation from the State budget with the support of Senator Susan Rubio. These funds, combined with a portion ($1.1 million) in Measure CC Funds backfilled with Revenue Replacement American Rescue Plan Act funds via the Federal budget will provide roughly 60% of the purchase price for the CCPA. As proposed, the balance of the price ($2.75 million) will be financed via an inter-fund loan and require no general funds to complete the purchase.
The terms of the loan include a 20-year repayment schedule, an interest rate equal to the 20-year State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the pledge of CCPA operating revenues to fund debt service payments.
BACKGROUND:
The Covina Center for the Performing Arts Theater (CCPA) opened its doors in 1920. For 101 years, it has unified friends and families by bringing programmatic services, art, and different forms of expression. CCPA is an essential linkage from times past in the San Gabriel Valley, from history to local entertainment destination, film house, and performing arts space.
Over time, the CCPA was upgraded with seismic retrofitting, the addition of an outside theater marquee, and interior improvements to make the space suitable for performing arts. In the 1980s, CCPA was transformed into the Covina Playhouse. It hosted performing arts groups like the West Covina Players who presented performances like the Fiddler on the Roof and Kander & Ebb’s Cabaret. Later in the 2000s, the CCPA’s owner underwent extensive modernization efforts, including additional seismic retrofitting and comprehensive interior improvements to make it the special performing arts venue it is today. As it currently stands, this exceptional space is a regional cultural destination, providing an intimate venue that offers a wide range of musical and performing arts performances.
DISCUSSION:
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the CCPA sat vacant and was unable to host performance groups due to regional health orders. Also, during this time, the space was listed for sale and the City of Covina entered into discussions to acquire the site. The City’s efforts would help to preserve CCPA’s status as a local landmark in the City’s downtown commercial core and maintain its significance as a valuable performing arts space for the San Gabriel Valley. As proposed, the City would look to acquire the CCPA and operate the space to serve a wide range of needs and segments of the broad community as follows:
• Performing arts (theatrical, musical) programs;
• Comedy performances;
• Youth performing arts programs (in conjunction with local schools and non-profit organizations); • Public benefit programs that provide free/low-cost entertainment performances; • Shared office space to serve independent/small businesses in need of office and meeting space; • Restaurant space;
• Banquet and meeting space; and
• Marketing and outreach to expand patronage and enhance downtown Covina’s appeal as a regional destination.
Market Appraisal/Purchase and Sale Agreement
In the fall of 2021, the City completed an appraisal to assess the CCPA’s market value (Attachment 1). This appraisal was subsequently updated in July 2022. Due to the unique characteristics of the facility and its potential use as an income property, there are several alternatives that may be utilized to derive its value. One alternative is using a Sales Approach – whereby the market value is calculated using the characteristics of the property and its fixed improvements relative to recent comparable sales of similar properties. Another alternative is using an Income Approach – whereby durable rental income and market rental data arecompared with operating expenses and vacancy factors to derive the net operating income for the facility. Using comparable capitalization rates of similar properties, a market value is obtained for the facility. • CCPA Property Description
The CCPA includes several components – a 17,793 square foot theater space, roughly 6,250 square feet of retail space, roughly 2,400 square feet of office space, a 2,500 square feet full-service upstairs restaurant and bar space, and a cellular antenna tower lease for equipment that is affixed to the roof of the facility. • Sales Approach
An analysis of theater property sales was completed based on the four comparable properties listed below.
Pricing adjustments were made based on location, each facility’s construction quality and condition, and available parking. Based on this assessment, an adjusted average price per square foot of $252/ft and an adjusted median price per square foot of $256/ft were derived. Based on these comparable sales, the appraiser determined that a $255/ft price was acceptable and estimated a total value of $6.77 million.
The comparable sold properties are further detailed in Attachment 1 and summarized below. • Income/Direct Capitalization Approach
The CCPA has existing lease agreements for roughly 6,250 square feet of retail and office spaces onsite.
Lease payments for these spaces vary from $0.82 to $2.22/ft.
An analysis of existing rents for comparable theater, restaurant, retail and office spaces was completed.
Pricing adjustments were made based on location, each facility’s construction quality, condition and available seating. Based on this assessment, an adjusted average price per square foot of $2.13/ft and an adjusted median price per square foot of $2.14/ft was derived. Based on these comparable sales, the appraiser determined that a $2.15/ft cost for the theater space was acceptable. Similar calculations were made to determine a $2.50/ft cost for the restaurant space, a $1.50/ft cost for the retail space and a $1.00/ft cost for the office spaces.
In order to calculate a capitalization rate for the CCPA, the appraiser utilized comparable sales for theater/nightclub venues in the greater Southern California region. Based on this analysis, a capitalization rate of 6.25% was determined to be acceptable.
A pro forma analysis was completed for the facility using existing rent figures, market rental costs for comparable spaces, market vacancy factors/exposure time resulting from vacancies and historical operating costs. Based on these comparable sales, the appraiser determined that a $252/ft price was acceptable and estimated a total value of $6.69 million.
The comparable leased theater properties, office spaces, restaurants and retail spaces are further detailed in Attachment 1. A comparison of theater venues is summarized below. • Reconciliation
As noted, the appraiser determined a total market value of $6.77 million utilizing the sales comparison approach and $6.69 million utilizing the income approach. In comparing these values, the appraiser noted that a typical buyer profile places a greater emphasis on the sales approach, and determined the final market value to be $6.75 million.
Financing Structure
The City is extremely fortunate to have received grant funding to make the acquisition of the CCPA possible. In fact, approximately 60% of the purchase price will be funded through external grant monies – including a $3 million appropriation from Senator Rubio via the State budget and $1.1 in Measure CC Funds backfilled with
Revenue Replacement American Rescue Plan Act funds via the Federal budget. Combining these resources, this leaves a balance of $2.75 million that must be financed in order to complete the acquisition.
In 2022, the City explored a variety of financing opportunities for the $2.75 million funding gap, including financing through financial institutions/banks, the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (I Bank) and an interfund loan agreement. In evaluating these alternatives, it has been determined that an interfund loan is the preferred financing alternative – providing the most favorable financing terms, the most efficient in terms of closing on financing and producing interest revenue for another City fund. The following table provides a summary of the proposed acquisition expenses, funding sources, and financing terms:

Interfund Loan from Sewer Fund
The City’s Sewer Fund has sufficient reserves to fund the interfund loan for the purchase. In order to accomplish this objective, a lease agreement is necessary. The City, as lessor, will lease certain property owned in fee by the City (i.e., the Covina Center for the Performing Arts) to the Authority, as lessee, pursuant to a Site and Facility Lease (the “Site Lease”), and the City will concurrently sublease the property back from the Authority pursuant to a Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), which will require that the City make lease payments to the Authority (the “Lease Obligation”). The Sewer Fund will invest in the Lease Obligation by using its [reserve] in the amount of $2,750,000 to purchase the proposed Lease Obligation payable from the City’s newly established Theater Fund, in accordance with the City’s investment policy (which allows the purchase of an obligation of a local agency as described in Section 53601(a) of the California Government Code). The proceeds of the lease obligation will be used to finance the purchase price for the Theatre. The Authority will assign its rights to receive the Lease Payments from the City to the Sewer Fund, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), and will execute a note (the “Note”) as evidence thereof.
The Note will have a principal amount of $2,750,000, bear interest at a rate of 1.57%, and a term of 20 years.
The resolutions will approve the following documents:
1. Site and Facilities Lease by and between the City of Covina, as Lessor, and the City of Covina Financing Authority, as Lessee;
2. Lease Agreement by and between the City of Covina Financing Authority, as Sublessor, and the City of Covina, as Sublessee;
3. Assignment Agreement among the City of Covina Financing Authority, the City of Covina Sewer Fund, and the City of Covina; and
4. Promissory Note by the Covina Public Financing Authority to the Sewer Fund; and the City Resolution approves the investment by the Sewer Fund in the Lease Obligation as evidenced by the Note.
The City will record all of the documents upon the delivery of the Note.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES – Pursuant to California Government Code Section 5852.1, prior to authorization of the issuance of bonds, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness with a term greater than 13 months, the governing body of a public body shall obtain from a third party financial advisor and disclose all of the following information in a meeting open to the public:
(A) The true interest cost of the Note, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the new issue of Note.
(B) The finance charge of the Note, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties. (C) The amount of proceeds received by the public body for sale of the Note less the finance charge of the Note described in subparagraph (B) and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the Note.
(D) The total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the borrower will make to pay debt service on the Note plus the finance charge of the Note described in subparagraph (B) not paid with the proceeds of the Note. The total payment amount shall be calculated to the final maturity of the Note.
The following information consists of estimates that have been provided by Urban Futures, Inc., the City’s municipal advisor, and has been represented by such party to have been provided in good faith:
(A) True Interest Cost of the Note: 1.57%
(B) Finance Charge of the Note (sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties): $0 (C) Net Proceeds of the Note to be Received (net of finance charges, reserves and capitalized interest, if any): $2,750,000
(D) Total Payment Amount through Maturity of the Note: $3,225,664.62 The foregoing constitutes good faith estimates only. The principal amount of the Note, the true interest cost of the Note, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to: (a) the actual date of the execution of the Note being different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates; (b) the actual principal amount of Note being different from the estimated amount used for purposes of such estimates; (c) the actual amortization of the Note being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates; (d) the actual market interest rates at the time of sale of the Note being different than those estimated for purposes of such estimates; (e) other market conditions; or (f) alterations in the City’s financing plan, or a combination of such factors.
Loan Debt Service
As proposed, a new Theater enterprise fund will be created to account for revenues and expenditures at the CCPA.
This fund will utilize revenues derived from operations (ticket sales, food/beverage sales, rentals, etc.) to fund loan payments and operational expenses. The following table includes a summary of existing and projected revenues for the CCPA, based on the appraiser’s assessment:
As proposed, the City would provide a one-time deposit of seed funds equal to one year of projected revenue at CCPA (roughly $720,000). This figure is in addition to the acquisition and ancillary costs of $6.85 million. It is expected that this seed funding would provide a cushion for loan payments and operational expenses during the first year of operations. As proposed, the City would appropriate $720,000 in Measure CC Funds backfilled with Revenue Replacement ARPA grant funds for this purpose.
Closing/Acquisition
If the Council decides to proceed with the acquisition of the theater, the purchase and sale agreement provides for up to a 75-day escrow period to conduct property inspections, negotiate further concessions, transmit funds related to the agreement and execute the agreement. As planned, the City would take possession of the CCPA no later than December 2022.
Proposed Operations
The City continues to explore a variety of performing arts alternatives for the operation of the CCPA. These alternatives include theatrical performances, musical performances, comedy shows, educational programming and food/beverage operations. As planned, the City will present a variety of options for the Council’s consideration during the escrow/closing period. It is likely that the selected operator for the facility will enter into a license agreement for the facility’s operation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City’s acquisition of the CCPA represents its commitment to preserving a unique local landmark for the community. With the assistance of State and Federal resources, the City is able to pre-fund $4.1 million (~60%) of the CCPA’s total purchase price ($6.85 million), leaving a balance of $2.75 million that will be financed internally over a 20-year term. This financing structure will provide the CCPA with a low-cost financing alternative (~1.57% interest rate) that will help the facility to be self-sustaining and fund debt-service payments with operating revenues. Additionally, the proposed financing will generate approximately $475,665 in interest revenue for the City’s Sewer Fund over the loan term.
In addition to the hard costs of acquiring the CCPA and managing its operations, the facility represents an opportunity to create synergy and incremental economic activity for the community. A successful performing arts space has many spillover effects for the local economy – additional customers for local food/beverage businesses,
additional shoppers for retail businesses as well as the potential to create a new entertainment destination that helps attract new customers from the broader regional market.
As part of the approval, the City has determined that:
1. The unallocated reserves of the City’s Sewer Fund may be used to purchase the lease obligation, as the purchase of the lease obligation by the Sewer Fund will constitute an investment of such funds, in that the investment will be the purchase of an obligation of a local agency as described in Section 53601(a) of the California Government Code;
2. The lease obligation is for a term permitted under the City’s Investment Policy; and
3. The purchase of the lease obligation will not interfere with the cash flow needs of the Sewer Fund for the term of the investment.
Resolution CC 2022-105 further details the necessary appropriations to fund the purchase of the CCPA as well as for the seed money to fund the first year of operations.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
The acquisition of the property known as the Covina Center for the Performing Arts has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is exempt pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3). The action is the purchase of an existing community theater property that has cultural and historical value to the Covina community, where no physical modifications are proposed. The purchase of the property by the City of Covina will not alter the use, the intensity of use or the appearance of the existing Covina Theater property and is therefore covered by the General Rule that CEQA applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The purchase of the Covina Center for the Performing Arts will not result in a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

(a) Obligation to Pay. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.03 and the provisions of Article IX, the City agrees to pay to the Authority, its successors and assigns, the Lease Payments (denominated into components of principal and interest) in the respective amounts specified in Exhibit B attached hereto (including any supplements thereto) and by this reference incorporated herein, to be due and payable in immediately available funds on each of the respective Lease Payment Dates specified in Exhibit B.

12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
use of the Property during such Rental Period. The interest components of the Lease Payments have been calculated based on an interest rate of 1.57% per annum, on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months; provided, however, has occurred and continues without cure by the City, then the rate shall be the Default Rate. The City understands that the Authority has assigned its right to receive the Lease Payments to the Purchaser and that the Purchaser will send an invoice to the City in advance of each Lease Payment Date. (b) Additional Payments. In addition to the Lease Payments set forth herein, the City agrees to pay as Additional Payments all of the following:
(i) all taxes and assessments of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to excise taxes, ad valorem taxes, ad valorem and specific lien special assessments and gross receipts taxes, if any, levied upon the Property or upon any interest of the Authority therein or in this Lease Agreement; provided, however, the City may, at the City's expense and in its name, in good faith contest any such taxes and assessments and, in the event of such contest, may permit such taxes and assessments to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and appeal therefrom unless the Authority shall notify the City that, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, by nonpayment of any such items, the interest of the Authority in the Property will be materially endangered or the Property, or any portion thereof, will be subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event the City shall promptly pay such taxes and assessments or provide the Authority with full security against any loss which may result from nonpayment, in form satisfactory to the Authority; (ii) insurance premiums, if any, on all insurance required under the provisions of Article V hereof; and
(iii) any other reasonable fees, costs or expenses incurred by the Authority in connection with the execution, performance or enforcement of this Lease Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or related to the Property, including, without limitation, any amounts which may become due; provided, however, the City shall not be responsible for any costs incurred by the Authority associated with any assignment of this Lease Agreement.

(c) Effect of Prepayment. If the City prepays all Lease Payments in full under Sections 9.02 or 9.03, the City's obligations under this Section will thereupon cease and terminate.

9.03, the principal components of the remaining Lease Payments will be reduced on a pro rata basis; and the interest component of each remaining Lease Payment will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
‐8‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
(d) Rate on Overdue Payments. If the City fails to make any of the payments required in this Section 4.03, the payment in default will continue as an obligation of the City until the amount in default has been fully paid, and the City agrees to pay the same with interest thereon, from the date of default to the date of payment at the rate of __% per annum or any lesser maximum legal rate.
(e) Fair Rental Value. The Lease Payments coming due and payable during each Rental Period constitute the total rental for the Property for such Rental Period, and will be paid by the City in each Rental Period for and in consideration of the right of the use and occupancy of, and the continued quiet use and enjoyment of the Property during each Rental Period. The parties hereto have agreed and determined that the total Lease Payments due during each Rental Period are not in excess of the fair rental value of the Property during such Rental Periods. In making this determination, consideration has been given to the estimated fair market value of the Property, the estimated replacement cost of the Property, the uses and purposes which may be served by the Property and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to the City and the general public. (f) Source of Payments; Budget and Appropriation. The Lease Payments are payable from any source of legally available funds of the City, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.03 and 9.01. The City covenants to take such action as may be necessary to include all Lease Payments in each of its annual budgets during the Term of this Lease Agreement and to make the necessary annual appropriations for all such Lease Payments.
The covenants on the part of the City herein contained constitute duties imposed by law and it is the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and do such things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to enable the City to carry out and perform the covenants and agreements in this Lease Agreement agreed to be carried out and performed by the City. (g) Allocation of Lease Payments. All Lease Payments received shall be applied first to the interest components of the Lease Payments due hereunder, then to the principal components of the Lease Payments due hereunder, but no such application of any payments that are less than the total rental due and owing shall be deemed a waiver of any default hereunder.
(h) No Offsets. Notwithstanding any dispute between the Authority and the City, the City shall make all Lease Payments when due without deduction or offset of any kind and shall not withhold any Lease Payments pending the final resolution of such dispute.
(i) Payments under this Lease Agreement. The Authority hereby directs the City, and the City hereby agrees, to pay to the Purchaser (or to its assignees as directed pursuant to Section 7.04 hereof) all payments payable by the City under this Section 4.03 and all amounts payable by the City under Article IX.
Section 4.04. Quiet Enjoyment. Throughout the Term of this Lease Agreement, the Authority will provide the City with quiet use and enjoyment of the Property and the City will peaceably and quietly have and hold and enjoy the Property, without suit, trouble or hindrance
‐9‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
from the Authority, except as expressly set forth in this Lease Agreement. The Authority will, at the request of the City and at the City's cost, join in any legal action in which the City asserts its right to such possession and enjoyment to the extent the Authority may lawfully do so.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority has the right to inspect the Property as provided in Sections 5.12(c) and 7.02.
Section 4.05. Title. At all times during the Term of this Lease Agreement, the City shall hold title to the Property, including all additions which comprise fixtures, repairs, replacements or modifications thereto, subject to Permitted Encumbrances and subject to the provisions of Section 7.02.
Upon the termination of this Lease Agreement (other than under Section 8.02(b) hereof), all right, title and interest of the Authority in and to the Property shall be transferred to and vested in the City. Upon the payment in full of all Lease Payments allocable to the Property, or upon the deposit by the City of security for such Lease Payments as provided in Section 9.01, all right, title and interest of the Authority in and to the Property shall be transferred to and vested in the City.
The Authority agrees to take any and all steps and execute and record any and all documents reasonably required by the City to consummate any such transfer.
Section 4.06. Release of Excess Property. The City may, at any time and from time to time, release any portion of the Property (the “Released Property”) from this Lease Agreement, with the prior written consent of the Authority, which consent shall be at the Authority's sole discretion, and upon satisfaction of all of the following requirements which are conditions precedent to such release:

(d) The City shall file with the Authority such other information, documents and instruments as the Authority shall reasonably request, including (if requested by the Authority) evidence of the insurable value of the Property to be remaining following release of the Released Property, indicating that such value is in excess of the then unpaid principal component of the Lease Payments and such endorsements to the title policy delivered on the Closing Date.

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 5.06. Workers’ 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.

Except as expressly provided in this Article V, the City will promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge or remove any such mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim, for which it is responsible, if the same shall arise at any time. The City will reimburse the Authority for any expense incurred by it in order to discharge or remove any such mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim.

(iv) In the event the City's determination is as set forth in clause (B) of subparagraph (ii) above, 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 Authority, at its sole discretion.

‐16‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
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 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 Authority, and the City shall credit such proceeds towards the prepayment of the Lease Payments pursuant to Section 9.03 of this Lease Agreement.
(ii) If the City has given written notice to the Authority and the Authority 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 City shall apply such amounts for such repair or rehabilitation.

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 Authority. 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 B, unless such unpaid amounts are determined to be greater than the fair rental value of the portions of the
‐17‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
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. 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 6.03 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 6.03, it being hereby declared that such proceeds and amounts constitute special funds for the payment of the Lease Payments.

(a) Failure by the City to pay any Lease 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 thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to the City by the Authority. 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 shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to an extension of such time (for a period not to exceed sixty (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
‐20‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
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 Authority or any affiliate of the Authority, or (ii) arises under any obligation under which there is outstanding, owing or committed an aggregated amount in excess of $2,000,000.
(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) Any Material Adverse Effect shall exist.
Section 8.02. 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 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) Default Rate. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lease Payments shall bear a rate of interest at the Default Rate. (b) Enforcement of Payments Without Termination. If the Authority does not elect to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner hereinafter provided for in subparagraph (c) hereof, the City agrees to and shall remain liable for the payment of all Lease 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 to the end of the Term of this Lease Agreement, but said Lease 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 hereunder, notwithstanding such entry or re-entry by the
‐21‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
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 Los Angeles 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 release 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 re-leasing 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 (c) 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 plus costs and expenses incurred by the Authority for its services in re-leasing the Property shall be paid to the City. (c) 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 due under this Lease Agreement. Neither notice to pay rent or to deliver up possession of the premises given under 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.
(d) 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
‐22‐
12923‐0001\2712256v1.doc
necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce any other of its rights hereunder. (e) 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 8.03. 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.

‐23‐

determination of the Claim. The Authority and the City agree that the Referee shall have the power to issue all legal and equitable relief appropriate under the circumstances before the Referee; (iii) the Authority and the City shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another, as applicable, and the Referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of all Claims in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.06; (iv) either the Authority or the City, as applicable, may file the Referee's findings, conclusions and statement with the clerk or judge of any appropriate court, file a motion to confirm the Referee's report and have judgment entered thereon.

Promptly following the selection of the Referee, the parties to such Reference proceeding shall each advance equal portions of the estimated fees and costs of the Referee. In the statement of decision issued by the Referee, the Referee shall award costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the prevailing party, if any, and may order the Referee's fees to be paid or shared by the parties to such Reference proceeding in such manner as the Referee deems just.
