CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 6.
FROM: Douglas Dancs, Director of Public Works
DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Approve an Amendment to the On-Call Stormwater/Fats Oils and Grease Inspection Services Contract
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve an Amendment to the with Charles Abbott Associates for On-Call Stormwater/Fats Oils and Grease Inspection Services; and
2. Appropriate $18,000 to the Strom Drain Fund and $2,000 to the Sewer Fund.
DISCUSSION
In April 2021, the City Council approved a contract with Charles Abbott Associates for on-call Stormwater/Fats Oils and Grease Inspection Services through April 2023 with an option for three, one-year extensions. The City is required to inspect construction sites and properties for compliance with state water quality regulations and provide inspection results for annual reporting to the state.
The on-call contract limits annual expenditures to $83,175. Due to an increase in new construction, additional water quality and Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) inspections are needed. Public Works estimates that an additional $20,000 is necessary to complete all required inspections through the remainder of FY 2023-24. The $20,000 recommended contract amendment must be approved by the City Council since the contract terms limit the contract officer from authorizing total amendments that exceed 10 percent of the annual contract amount ($8,317.50).
BUDGET IMPACT
The City collects fees from developers, property owners and businesses which provides full cost recovery for the on-call services provided by this contract. The budget for On-Call Stormwater/Fats Oils and Grease Inspection Services is $83,175 and the cost for these services is estimated to be $103,175 for FY 2023-24. Sufficient fund balance amounts are available for the additional $18,000 in the Storm Drain Fund and $2,000 in the Sewer Fund needed to pay for inspection activities through the end of the fiscal year.
LEGAL REVIEW
The amendment was approved as to form by the City Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 7.
FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Receive and File the 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report on the Implementation of the Housing Element
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the 2023 General Plan Annual Progress Report on the implementation of the Housing Element.
DISCUSSION
Background
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that cities submit an annual report by April 1 to the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that provides the progress of the implementation of the Housing Element. Cities must also submit a General Plan Annual Progress Report to HCD and OPR. The attached report satisfies both requirements.
General Plan Status
The City Council adopted the General Plan on September 10, 2001. It contains the seven State-required elements plus three optional elements.
General Plan Elements Last Revised
Land Use October 14, 2013
Circulation September 10, 2001
Housing June 27, 2022
Conservation/Open Space (combined) September 10, 2001
Recreation September 10, 2001
Safety October 14, 2013
Noise September 10, 2001
Optional: Air Quality September 10, 2001
Optional: Growth Management September 10, 2001
Optional: Implementation September 10, 2001
Cities are required to keep their General Plans current and internally consistent. There is no General Plan update requirement, except the Housing Element, which must be updated at least every eight years.
The following is a summary of General Plan related activities during the January 1 to December 31, 2023 reporting period.
Land Use Element
There were no amendments to the General Plan Land Use Element, nor were there any land use designation changes on individual properties. There were no amendments to the Zoning Ordinance of the Municipal Code which could affect consistency with the Land Use Element, nor were there any zone changes on properties. There was one Specific Plan amendment (LTP Modern Machine) which was consistent with the existing Specific Plan land use designation and the PC Planned Community Zone. There were no land use designation changes on individual properties within any of the City’s specific plans.
Housing Element
HCD certified the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element on September 9, 2022. This report is for calendar year 2023, which is the second reporting year of the housing element cycle.
Having a certified Housing Element makes the City eligible for State housing grants/programs and provides protection against housing-related lawsuits. Cypress' Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) for the 2021-2029 Housing Element cycle is 3,936 units.
In 2023, the City processed:
Housing Permit Processing Stage Applications Units
Housing entitlement applications received and deemed
complete 12 19
Housing entitlement applications approved 12 19
Housing permits issued 54 54
Housing units completed NA 94
Below is a summary of the 2021-2029 Housing Element cycle totals which count toward the City’s RHNA based on income level:
Income Level 2021-2029 RHNA Units to Date
(2021-2022) Remaining
Very Low 1,150 17 1,133
Low 657 0 657
Moderate 623 1 622
Above Moderate 1,506 458 1,048
Total 3,936 476 3,460
Since the very low, low, and moderate income categories fell short by 143 units at the end of the previous cycle, they were added to the 2021-2029 RHNA.
The City Council adopted the following ordinances in 2023 in compliance with the Housing Element and State law:
Objective design standards
Reduced parking requirements for multifamily residential Streamlined residential review process
Other General Plan Element Amendments
There were no amendments to the other elements of the General Plan. The City continues to implement the goals and policies of all General Plan elements.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Provide further direction.
BUDGET IMPACT
None.
LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 8.
FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Approve the Education, Outreach, and Communications Program for the Housing Element Implementation Ballot Measure
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the education, outreach, and communications program for the Housing Element implementation ballot measure.
DISCUSSION
As part of the State-mandated Housing Element, the City Council allocated housing density across the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan (LASP) and the Cypress Town Center and Commons Specific Plan 2.0 (CTCC). The allocation within the CTCC requires voter approval.
On January 8, the City Council approved an agreement with TeamCivX to provide ballot measure education and community outreach to ensure voters are well-informed. The City is committed to a comprehensive public information effort in the coming months to ensure residents understand the impact of the measure and any questions the community might have. The public information effort will take place online, in the mailbox, and in-person.
Outreach Timeframe
Update City website Mid - April
Informational video Mid - April
Digital advertising May - June
Citywide informational mailer Late April
Community meetings May
Second Citywide informational mailer Late May
By law, the City’s role is to inform the voters, not advocate for a ballot measure. The outreach program will wrap-up in July, when it is anticipated the City Council will consider placing the measure on the ballot. Once the measure is on the ballot, the City will provide information on the website, but other outreach activities will cease.
BUDGET IMPACT
The majority of the education, communication, and outreach program is included within the $104,000 TeamCivX contract. However, additional costs are necessary to support TeamCivX's efforts, including video production, mailers, and advertising meetings. Funding is available in the Housing Element implementation budget.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 9.
FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Approve a Task Order for an Environmental Impact Report for a Vesting Tentative Tract Map at Los Alamitos Race Course
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a task order with LSA for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for $212,000 and a contingency of $21,000.
DISCUSSION
Los Alamitos Race Course (LARC) applied for a Vesting Tentative Tract map to subdivide its property. The application proposes to divide the 152-acre property into 18 parcels, with two parcels transferred to Seacoast Grace Church upon completion. No demolition or construction is proposed. The property is located in the Cypress Town Center and Commons Specific Plan. The subdivision is consistent with the Specific Plan.
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required to analyze the project for any potential environmental impacts and to determine applicable mitigation measures that could be included as conditions of approval. It is anticipated the entitlement application(s) and the EIR will be presented to the City Council in early 2025.
LSA is one of the City’s on-call planning firms and has extensive experience in preparing this type of analysis; therefore, it is recommended LSA prepare the EIR. The City will manage LSA’s work while the applicant reimburses the City for the cost of LSA's work.
BUDGET IMPACT
The applicant is required to deposit the cost of the EIR with the City before the study is initiated. Any remaining deposit will be refunded to the applicant when the EIR is complete.
The applicant is also required to pay project application fees which offset City costs to administer and manage the EIR.

LSA is pleased to submit this proposal for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Los Alamitos Race Course (LARC) Development Project (proposed project) in Cypress, California, under its existing on-call contract with the City. As you know, LSA has extensive experience working with the City of Cypress (City), including ongoing involvement in the implementation of the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element, which includes increasing the allowable residential development capacity within portions of the LARC property. LSA will be able to effectively leverage its experience to complete the EIR quickly and efficiently.
LSA's preliminary review indicates that an EIR may be appropriate for environmental clearance of the proposed project. In addition to preparing the Program EIR in support of the proposed Housing Element rezoning, LSA has previously prepared technical analysis and environmental documentation for several nearby projects, including the 9-Acre Sports Park (Lexington Park) and Cypress Town Center (Melia Homes’ Belmont Project). The environmental impact analysis in the EIR will evaluate impacts associated with the proposed project and will identify appropriate mitigation measures necessary to avoid or reduce significant environmental impacts.
I will serve as the Principal in Charge for this project, and Steve Letterly will serve as the Project Manager.
Mr. Bensley and Mr. Letterly both have a solid working relationship with City staff. Together, we will provide the City with a professional approach, prompt service, and a high-quality product that will meet the requirements of CEQA and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. LSA can assure you that it will respond to any relevant issues or concerns that may arise, present options consistent with your goals, and preserve the priorities you have established.
Thank you for this opportunity to submit this proposal. LSA looks forward to working with the City again.
Should you require further information or have any questions regarding the enclosed material, please contact Mr. Bensley at (949) 553-0666 or by email at [email protected].
Sincerely,
LSA Associates, Inc.
Ryan Bensley

PROPOSED LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP PROJECT
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is LSA’s understanding that the Los Alamitos Race Course ownership (Applicant) has submitted a tentative tract map to the City of Cypress (City) that would allow for the subdivision of the Los Alamitos Race Course (LARC). The tentative tract map proposes to provide public access to the interior of the LARC superblock by creating a north-south public road connection from Moody Street to Siboney and extending Vessels Circle westward to meet the new Moody/Siboney roadway connection. The area that would be the subject of the tentative tract map (project site) generally includes the approximately 150-acre property that includes LARC and its associated horse barns and surface parking lots as well as some vacant land that is currently used for maintenance and operations activities. The proposed tentative tract map would allow for the future development of the area described in the Cypress Town Center and Commons Specific Plan 2.0 (Specific Plan), which was approved by Cypress voters in June 2018.
The Specific Plan established a comprehensive master plan and regulatory framework for the use and development of the project site. The proposed Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would analyze the buildout of the Specific Plan consistent with a proposed tract map that would account for future development needs. The tract map would allow for the development of up to 1,115 residential units, the remaining buildout capacity allowed under the Specific Plan. The proposed project would also modify the development plan proposed in the Specific Plan and divide the project site into lots as shown in Tentative Tract Map No. 19247, which will allow for future development to move forward on the project site.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on the above understanding of the proposed project and review of previous project and publicly available supporting documentation, LSA has prepared a pragmatic work program for completion of an EIR for the proposed project.
Task 1.0: Project Initiation and Project Description
Task 1.1: Project Kick-Off Meeting
During project initiation, LSA will hold a kick-off meeting with City staff and the Applicant’s team to discuss the current status of the proposed project and any changes that have occurred since development of this Scope of Work. LSA will participate in a kick-off meeting to initiate the project that will:
• Establish protocols for product review, communication, and coordination with the City and Applicant.
• Confirm the City’s preferred format and structure for the EIR. 2 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

Task 1.2: Project Description
Based on information provided by the City and Applicant, LSA will prepare a Project Description defining the proposed project to be evaluated in the EIR. LSA will use the Project Description to determine the potential environmental effects of implementation of the proposed project and to identify appropriate mitigation measures, if necessary. The Project Description is the core element of the EIR and related technical analyses; any substantial changes to the Project Description may result in a change to the scope and budget.
LSA will submit the draft Project Description to the City and Applicant for review and comment. For the purposes of this scope and budget, LSA will respond to one round of comments each from the City and Applicant and will update the Project Description, as necessary. This scope and budget assumes one set of nonconflicting, consolidated comments from the City and the Applicant. The overall schedule and budget are based on the assumption that the Project Description will be finalized during the project initiation task and that substantive changes to the Project Description will not be made later in the process.
Task 2.0: Technical Analyses
LSA is proposing to prepare the following project-specific technical analyses to address impacts associated with implementation the proposed project. Electronic copies of draft analyses will be submitted to the City and Applicant for review. Following one set of consolidated nonconflicting comments from the City and Applicant, LSA will revise and finalize each report. Should project plans and/or the Project Description change after the impact analysis has been conducted, and/or if additional rounds of comments or additional coordination is required, a budget augment will be necessary to complete the additional work.
Task 2.1: Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy Air Quality. The proposed project would generate construction emissions and new vehicle trips in the vicinity of the project site. This increase could contribute to existing air pollution and has the potential to exceed regional air emission thresholds established by the City of Cypress and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Following the SCAQMD’s 1993 CEQA Air Quality Analysis Handbook, LSA will identify existing air quality conditions and potential air quality impacts resulting from the proposed project by undertaking the following subtasks when it prepares the Air Quality section of the EIR:
• Define Setting and Baseline. This task will be completed using meteorological and air quality data developed through the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and climatological and air quality profile data gathered by the SCAQMD. LSA will review and utilize information included in recent environmental documents covering the project site for the setting section of the EIR. 3 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

The setting section of the EIR will include a brief overview of the nature and location of existing sensitive receptors within the vicinity of the project site, including residents, schools, and hospitals.
• Determine the Project's Consistency with Adopted Plans. LSA will review adopted plans related to clean air in the State of California, the SCAQMD, and the City of Cypress and determine the project's consistency with these plans.
• Assess Project Construction Emissions. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate increased particulate emissions associated with demolition, site preparation, grading, soil hauling, and other construction activities on the project site.
Construction equipment exhaust would also be a source of air pollution. LSA will calculate the regional construction emissions using the California Emissions Estimator Model version 2022.1 (CalEEMod).
• Assess Project Operation-Period Air Quality Impacts. The project would generate new vehicular trips within the region. Regional emissions of criteria air pollutants associated with long-term operations from vehicle trips will be calculated with CalEEMod. In addition, emissions associated with stationary sources, such as on-site energy consumption and landscaping equipment will be estimated.
• Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) Analysis. Localized impacts of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM10), and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) will be evaluated consistent with the methodology established by the SCAQMD.
• Identify Mitigation Measures. LSA will identify practical mitigation measures to address any significant project or cumulative impacts. Mitigation measures designed to reduce the project's short-term construction and long-term air quality impacts will be identified. Mitigation measures established by the SCAQMD for dust suppression will be identified to reduce construction impacts. Both an evaluation of the potential mitigation measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Typically, an individual project does not generate sufficient greenhouse gas emissions to influence global climate change significantly on its own; therefore, the issue of global climate change is cumulative in nature. However, implementation of the project, through construction and operational activities, would generate greenhouse gas emissions that would cumulatively contribute to global climate change. LSA will prepare the Greenhouse Gas Emissions section of the EIR, which will include a technical analysis evaluating the impacts of project-related greenhouse gas emissions. LSA will conduct the following tasks as part of this analysis:
• Describe Existing Environmental Setting. LSA will summarize up-to-date information related to global climate change, along with the climate/meteorology conditions in the planning area, and the State and regional setting.

The existing regulatory framework for global climate change will be described, including applicable federal, State, and local policies, regulations, and programs (particularly regulations/guidelines that apply to CEQA review). • Assess Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions. LSA will provide a quantitative assessment of greenhouse gas emissions associated with all relevant sources related to the project, including construction activities, new vehicle trips, energy consumption, water usage, and solid waste generation and disposal using CalEEMod.
• Determine the Project's Consistency with Adopted Plans. LSA will also provide a qualitative assessment of the proposed project’s consistency with relevant greenhouse gas emission reduction plans and regulations.
• Identify Mitigation Measures. LSA will identify, where necessary, practical mitigation measures to address any significant project or cumulative impacts. Mitigation measures designed to reduce the project’s short-term construction and long-term air quality impacts to the extent feasible will be identified. Both an evaluation of the potential mitigation measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided.
Energy. The implementation of the proposed project would increase the demand for energy consumption during both construction and operation of the project, including diesel fuel use for construction off-road equipment, diesel and gasoline fuel use for construction on-road vehicles, diesel and gasoline fuel use from vehicle trips generated by the project, operational natural gas usage, and operational electricity consumption. Therefore, LSA will prepare an energy analysis to evaluate the energy use for construction and operation associated with the implementation of the proposed project, which will be included as a section of the EIR. Supporting technical analysis, such as modeling output, will be included as an appendix to the EIR. LSA will conduct the following tasks as part of this analysis:
• Analyze Short-term Construction Energy Use. LSA will estimate construction-period energy usage associated with diesel fuel use for construction off-road equipment and diesel and gasoline fuel use for construction on-road vehicles, using the results of CalEEMod and fuel consumption provided in CARB’s EMFAC2021 model.
• Analyze Long-term Operational Energy Use. Once operational, energy use associated with the proposed project would result from natural gas use, electricity consumption, and fuel used for vehicle trips. Fuel use associated with vehicle trips will be calculated based on the trip generation rates identified in the project’s trip generation estimates and vehicle fuel consumption provided in EMFAC2021. Energy data estimated using the CalEEMod model will be reported.
• Determine Project's Consistency with Energy Efficiency Standards. The analysis will also address the project’s compliance with applicable energy efficiency standards and will cross reference the discussion provided in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions discussion, as necessary. For purposes of this analysis, impacts to energy resources will be considered to be significant if the project would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of fuel or energy.

LSA will conduct a literature review to identify sensitive species known or reported to occur within the project site and surrounding area. The literature review will include the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB), the United State Fish and Wildlife Service Information, Planning, and Consultation System (USFWS IPaC), and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Electronic Inventory. A general on-site survey will be conducted by an LSA biologist familiar with the habitats and sensitive resources of the region. LSA will then prepare a report including a summary of the results of the literature review and field survey. The report will include the following:
• A summary of survey methodology and results, figures and maps showing the project site location and vicinity, a list of species observed during the site visit, and a discussion of plant communities and mapped soils on the project site.
• An assessment of potential habitat value for sensitive species, including a bat habitat assessment that will identify potential roosting opportunities in trees and man-made structures, and identification of any additional focused species surveys that may be necessary. • The identification of areas that may potentially be considered jurisdictional wetlands, waters of the U.S. or streambeds, as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). (A formal delineation of jurisdictional areas is not included in this task.)
• A discussion of direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the proposed project to sensitive biological resources.
• Graphics as needed to show project relationship to designated critical habitat areas and locations of any potential sensitive species habitat or sensitive natural communities on the project site.
Task 2.3 Jurisdictional Delineation and Reporting (Conditional Task) Should potential jurisdictional features be identified, LSA will inform the City prior to conducting the following jurisdictional delineation process, which consists of a three-parameter delineation conducted according to the Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region and the 1987 Corps Wetland Delineation Manual to delineate the jurisdictional limits of non-wetland waters of the United States following the procedures set forth in 33 Code of Federal Regulations 328.3(e). LSA anticipates that a routine delineation (as defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers [USACE]) that is tailored to the site characteristics will be adequate. The delineation should also consider any additional information needs based on the State’s Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State as administered by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Further, the extent of any streambed and associated riparian areas subject to review by the CDFW under Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code will be determined. It is anticipated that one site visit will be required as part of this task. The results of the draft jurisdictional delineation will require verification and approval by the USACE, the RWQCB, and the CDFW.

LSA assumes that one site visit and one virtual meeting for USACE verification of the determination will be required. The scope for this task does not include any substantial new data requests by the USACE, the RWQCB, or the CDFW. In the unlikely event that the resource agencies make such requests, LSA can provide a budget augment.
The CDFW typically does not verify jurisdictional determinations until a Notification of Streambed Alteration is submitted as part of the permitting process, which is not included in this scope of work.
An informal verification of the jurisdictional delineation will be requested as part of the project coordination with the CDFW, but verification may not be obtained.
LSA will prepare a technical report presenting the results of the jurisdictional delineation. The report will be suitable for submittal to the involved agencies for purposes of permit application and for inclusion as a technical appendix. Accordingly, the report will identify and quantify jurisdictional areas and features, including a breakdown of wetlands and non-wetland waters of the United States, waters of the State, and CDFW jurisdictional areas. The report will also identify features as earthen or concrete. An estimate of permanent and temporary impacts (as well as earthen versus concrete) resulting from the discharge of fill material into jurisdictional areas will not be included in this delineation report but will be provided upon request.
Task 2.4: Cultural Resources
An LSA architectural historian will prepare an addendum to the Historic Resources Assessment report for the LARC property, which was prepared by LSA in conjunction with the 2021–2029 Housing Element Implementation Program EIR. The addendum will address potential project impacts to LARC resulting from the proposed tentative tract map. The addendum, which will be in the form of a letter report, will consist of the following: a summary of the previous historic resource evaluation of the LARC, a detailed project description based on information provided by the Applicant, an analysis of the proposed project’s potential impacts on LARC using the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties as appropriate, and recommendations for mitigation measures if appropriate.
This scope stipulates that the proposed project involves demolition of LARC’s character-defining features. If the project changes to include adaptive reuse of these features, scope and budget augments will be required.
Task 2.5: Native American Consultation per Assembly Bill 52 (Gatto) As required under CEQA, specifically Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1 and Chapter 532 Statutes of 2014 (i.e., Assembly Bill [AB] 52), Native American consultation is required for any CEQA project that has a notice of preparation, or a notice of negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration filed on or after July 1, 2015. This is a government-to-government process between the CEQA Lead Agency, and the Native American tribe(s) that request consultation.
At the City’s direction, LSA may provide the following assistance with AB 52 consultation: obtain the results of a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search and list of Native American tribes and representatives designated for consultation from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), either send 7 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

LSA assumes that the government-to-government consultation with the tribes/Native American representatives regarding cultural resources, Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs), Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs), or any project-related tribal cultural heritage concerns will be conducted entirely by the City.
Task 2.6: Noise and Vibration
LSA will prepare a Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis that quantifies existing ambient noise levels in the area, summarizes applicable regulatory criteria, assesses the potential for future noise impacts, and identifies noise reduction measures to avoid or minimize noise impacts. The Noise Impact Analysis, which will be included in the Noise section of the EIR, will be completed by undertaking the following subtasks.
• Describe the existing regulatory framework. Applicable State and City noise criteria for the project site will be identified. Noise standards, including General Plan noise policies and Noise Ordinances, will be discussed. LSA will also provide a summary of the fundamentals of noise and vibration. Noise level standards for the proposed land uses will be identified. • Characterize existing noise environment. Based on the project site’s location, the dominant noise source in the project site would be traffic noise on adjacent roadways, surrounding commercial and industrial operations, and Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) Los Alamitos operations. LSA will conduct up to three (3) long-term noise measurements with a minimum duration of 24 hours at the project site and within the surrounding area. These measurements will help identify the existing noise levels and help to calibrate the modeling of future noise level impacts.
• Assess short-term construction noise impacts. Noise levels generated from project construction will be evaluated based on a standard equipment list, the average distances to existing adjacent off-site uses, the equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), the load factor, and the percentage of time in use. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recommended equipment noise emission levels will be used to describe construction noise levels in terms of maximum instantaneous noise levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous sound levels (Leq).
Potential construction noise impacts will be assessed based on the City’s Municipal Code. • Assess short-term construction vibration impacts. Vibration levels generated from project construction will be evaluated based on standard equipment expected to be used and reference distances to existing adjacent off-site structures. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA)- recommended equipment vibration levels will be used to describe construction vibration levels in terms of the peak particle velocity (PPV, measured in inches per second [in/sec]) for potential building damage and vibration velocity decibels (VdB) for potential human annoyance. Potential construction vibration impacts will be assessed based on the sensitivity of the area directly adjacent to the project site and the FTA recommendations. • Calculate project and cumulative noise impacts. Based on the estimated increase in vehicle trips, LSA will evaluate noise impacts from project-related and cumulative vehicular trips using 8 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

Model input data will include average daily traffic levels, day/night percentages of autos, medium and heavy trucks, vehicle speeds, ground attenuation factors, and roadway widths. Projected future noise levels along selected roadway and highway segments will be provided in a table format to show the relationship between vehicle-related noise and distance from the roadway.
• Assess long-term operational noise impacts. In addition to analyzing project-related traffic noise impacts, LSA will qualitatively assess noise impacts associated with project-related stationary source noise, such as loading and unloading activities, parking lot activities, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. • Assess land use compatibility. LSA will compare the existing noise environment to land use compatibility standards for the proposed land use designations. The compatibility assessment will include recommendations for noise reduction measures, as necessary, to achieve compliance with adopted policies and standards. Noise levels with implementation of the measures will also be provided.
• Identify noise reduction measures. If necessary, LSA will identify practical measures to address any potential project-level or cumulative-level noise impacts. Any measures necessary to reduce the project’s short-term construction and/or long-term impacts to acceptable noise levels will also be identified. Both an evaluation of the potential measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided.
Task 2.7: Transportation Impact Analysis and Vehicle Miles Traveled Memorandum LSA will peer review the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis prepared for the proposed project to determine whether they are satisfactory for summarization in the EIR. LSA’s peer review will confirm that the TIA and VMT Analysis conform to the traffic analysis requirements of the City of Cypress, the County of Orange, and the applicable provisions of CEQA. LSA will also confirm that the TIA and VMT Analysis are prepared using accepted transportation planning and traffic engineering methodologies and procedures.
LSA will prepare a memorandum documenting the results of the peer review, including any comments. An electronic copy of the memorandum will be submitted to the City. LSA will complete one follow-up review of the revised technical report to ensure that the initial set of peer review comments were adequately addressed.
Task 3.0: Draft Environmental Impact Report (CEQA Compliance) Task 3.1: Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Scoping Process Subtask 3.1.1: Prepare and Distribute Notice of Preparation. LSA will prepare an NOP per Section 15082 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The NOP will include a brief Project Description, a site map, the topics to be evaluated in the EIR, probable environmental effects of the proposed project, and the process for completing the EIR. It will also provide notice of a public scoping meeting to present the proposed project to the public. LSA will submit the NOP to the City for review and signature. 9 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

This Scope of Work assumes the City will provide its distribution list and the radius distribution list for private addresses (i.e., neighbors).
Using the City’s distribution list, LSA will identify responsible, State, trustee agencies, and/or other interested parties and members of the public who should receive the NOP. LSA will provide the mailing list to the City for review and approval.
LSA will file the NOP with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder. The City will be responsible for posting the NOP on the City’s website and for making arrangements to have the NOP published in local newspapers or posted in the vicinity of the project site in compliance with relevant sections of the Government Code. LSA will provide the City with the NOP as a PDF for posting.
LSA will distribute/mail the NOP to persons/agencies/organizations on the City’s mailing list and radius distribution list. LSA will prepare up to 30 hard copies of the NOP for distribution to the City and responsible agencies. LSA will provide the City with delivery confirmation of each copy of the NOP that is distributed.
LSA will also submit electronic copies of the NOP and Notice of Completion (NOC) form to the State Clearinghouse CEQA Portal for distribution to State agencies (the City has already provided authorization for LSA to submit documents to the CEQA Portal on its behalf). As of November 2, 2020, the State Clearinghouse no longer expects any form of paper copy submissions for CEQA documents.
Subtask 3.1.2: Early Consultation (Scoping). LSA will assist the City in coordinating one public scoping meeting. LSA will prepare a presentation and provide CEQA-related display boards (a maximum of four). The purpose of the meeting will be to collect information on environmental issues prior to initiating the environmental review. At the open house, attendees will be invited to submit comment to City staff; no verbal comments will be taken at the meeting and no video recording or streaming comments will be taken.
Subsequent to closure of the 30-day NOP review period, LSA will review all comments received during the NOP review period, including comments received at the scoping meeting, and will prepare a summary scoping report. LSA will identify any new issues that are applicable for incorporation into the EIR, recommend any needed changes to the proposed Scope of Work, and ensure that all submitted concerns are adequately covered by the EIR. The scoping report and public comments will be included as an appendix of the Draft EIR. The scoping summary report will be provided to the City for review and approval.
Task 3.2: Draft EIR
Subtask 3.2.1: Preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR. LSA will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR for review by the City and Applicant in accordance with the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The Administrative Draft EIR will reflect CEQA requirements along with any requirements of regulatory and responsible agencies as determined by comments received during the scoping meeting or through the NOP process. The EIR will rely on technical analyses/reports completed for the proposed project. The EIR will also address all of the threshold questions included in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines.

To ensure that the EIR is organized in a manner consistent with the City’s expectations, LSA will provide City staff with a draft EIR outline in electronic format. The Administrative Draft EIR will contain all applicable environmental components required by CEQA, including an Introduction and Project Description; Setting, Impacts (Project and Cumulative), Mitigation, and Level of Significance; and mandatory CEQA topics (i.e., Growth Inducement and Appendix F/Energy Demand), Alternatives, Lists of References, Persons Consulted, and EIR Preparers. The Executive Summary impact table and Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will not be provided with the Administrative Draft EIR but will be submitted for review with the Preprint Draft EIR once the level of environmental impacts is agreed upon and the mitigation measure language is close to being finalized. The EIR that is submitted to the City and Applicant will reflect LSA’s internal review and quality control procedures.
Each topic in the Administrative Draft EIR will include a discussion of the existing setting, thresholds of significance, project analysis, cumulative impacts, mitigation measures (if necessary), and level of significance after mitigation. The Administrative Draft EIR will compare the existing setting to the post-project environmental setting. Mitigation measures will be identified to address potentially significant impacts. Each section will discuss the potential short-term environmental impacts associated with project construction, the long-term effects associated with project operation, and the cumulative impacts associated with project implementation.
Preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR includes an evaluation of the potential impact of the proposed project on the various public services and utilities that will serve the project. The public services that will be analyzed include police and fire protection, solid waste collection, water, wastewater, libraries, and schools. Service letters will be sent to the relevant utilities and public agencies to solicit their comments with regard to the impacts of the proposed project on their respective services.
The General Plan for the City of Cypress presents a vision for the City’s future and a strategy to make that vision a reality. Each element of the General Plan contains goals and policies to help guide development within the City. The EIR will address the proposed project’s consistency with the General Plan. The General Plan consistency analysis will be included in the Land Use section of the Administrative Draft EIR.
LSA proposes to analyze two alternatives to the proposed project: the No Project/No Development Alternative as required by CEQA and the Build Alternative. In accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.6(d), each alternative will be evaluated in sufficient detail to determine whether the overall environmental impacts would be less or greater than the corresponding impacts of the proposed project. Furthermore, each alternative will be evaluated to determine whether the objective of the proposed project would be substantially attained by the alternative. The alternatives would not include an off-site alternative because the proposed project is site-specific. The Alternatives section will also include a statement identifying the environmentally superior alternative.

For the purposes of this Scope of Work and budget, LSA assumes two rounds of review (Administrative Draft EIR I and II) with one set of non-conflicting, consolidated comments from the City and Applicant per round.
Subtask 3.2.2: Finalization of Draft EIR. After receiving comments from the City staff and the Applicant’s team on the Administrative Draft EIR, LSA will make necessary revisions to the document, including completing the Executive Summary impact table. In compliance with PRC Section 21081.6, LSA will also prepare an MMRP. The MMRP will describe the required mitigation necessary to avoid or reduce significant impacts and the responsible parties, tasks, and schedule necessary for monitoring mitigation compliance. The MMRP will be incorporated into the certification documents for the Final EIR. LSA recommends circulation of the MMRP as part of the Draft EIR.
LSA will provide one electronic preprint version of the Draft EIR and technical appendices to City staff and the Applicant’s team for a limited final review prior to printing the Draft EIR. The purpose of this review will be to review the entire document with all appendices and technical reports, and to verify that the City and Applicant are satisfied with the Draft EIR. Following receipt of approval, LSA will finalize the Draft EIR and prepare for reproduction. Once finalized, LSA will provide the City with up to 2 hard copies of the Draft EIR with technical appendices to be placed on flash drive.
Additionally, LSA will provide one copy of the Draft EIR and technical appendices in PDF format, and will break the document into smaller, easily downloadable portions, easily placed on the City’s website.
Subtask 3.2.3: Circulation of Draft EIR. Prior to distribution of the Public Review Draft EIR, LSA will prepare a draft public Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIR for City review. LSA will also work with the City to update the distribution list for the Public Review Draft EIR, as needed.
LSA will file the NOA with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, and the City will be responsible for posting the NOA on the City’s website and making arrangements to have it published in local newspapers or posted in the vicinity of the project site in compliance with relevant sections of the Government Code. LSA will provide a PDF of the NOA to the City for posting.
LSA will file the NOA with the State Clearinghouse. The submittal to the State Clearinghouse will consist of the State Clearinghouse Summary Form, the NOA, the Notice of Completion (NOC), and an electronic copy of the Public Review Draft EIR. LSA will complete the NOC and Summary Form and will submit them to the City for review and signature. LSA will reproduce and distribute the NOA to appropriate agencies.
LSA will distribute up to 2 hard copies of the Draft EIR with technical appendices to be placed on USB flash drives to City staff. LSA will provide the City with delivery confirmation for each copy of the NOA distributed. In addition, LSA will provide bound copies of the Draft EIR with technical appendices on USB flash drive for the City Planning Division’s counter and the City’s library. 12 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

Following the public review period, LSA will prepare responses to public comments on the Draft EIR as received. LSA will work with the City to determine responsibilities for preparing the responses.
General responses will be prepared for significant repetitive comments. Specific individual responses will be prepared as needed. LSA’s objectives for the responses are to (1) be aggressive in establishing the strategy and determining responsibilities in order to maintain the schedule and minimize later revisions; (2) prepare a document that is well organized and usable by all parties, including the public; and (3) adequately respond to all comments. Although the focus of the responses will be on those comments that are truly subject to CEQA review, LSA will also endeavor to answer all questions in an informative manner.
Providing a budget estimate for responding to comments on the Public Review Draft EIR is extremely difficult because it is impossible to predict the volume and nature of the comments.
Significant new analysis is not included in this task. LSA has allocated 50 hours of staff time to organize, prepare, and compile the responses to comments and prepare the Final EIR (discussed below). However, this estimate may change once comments are received and reviewed by the City and LSA. This is based on the assumption that the proposed project will attract a moderate amount of interest from the community. If the level of interest is higher than anticipated, additional budget may be required to respond to the commensurate amount of comments. To account for this uncertainty, LSA has included a $10,000 contingency that may be directed to this additional effort, if necessary.
One electronic copy of the response to comments document will be submitted to the City. For the purposes of this Scope of Work and budget, LSA assumes one set of non-conflicting, consolidated comments from the City.
Following review of the response to comments document by the City, LSA will prepare an Administrative Draft Final EIR consisting of: (1) the final MMRP (discussed below), (2) comment letters and responses with supporting materials in appendices, and (3) any modifications to the Draft EIR document that may be needed (to be accomplished through the preparation of an errata document). Minor revisions/corrections to the Draft EIR will be made within the responses themselves or incorporated by LSA into an errata section of the Final EIR. If the City prefers to have a Final EIR that reflects all changes in track changes (redline/strikeout), this can be provided in lieu of the errata.
LSA will submit the Administrative Draft Final EIR to the City for review. LSA will respond to one round of non-conflicting, consolidated comments from the City and the Applicant.
Task 4.2: Prepare Final Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan After the proposed Final EIR has been reviewed by the City, LSA will prepare a Final MMRP in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15097, for use in ensuring implementation of the mitigation measures for the project. The MMRP will contain an inventory of mitigation measures, the timing for their implementation (e.g., prior to issuance of grading permits), the 13 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

LSA’s Scope of Work and budget assume one set of non-conflicting, consolidated comments from the City. The approved Final MMRP will be attached to the City’s resolution for consideration by the City Council.
Task 4.3: Distribute Final Environmental Impact Report
Once LSA has addressed the comments provided by the City on the Administrative Draft Final EIR, LSA will provide one electronic preprint version of the Final EIR to City staff for a limited final review prior to printing the Final EIR. The purpose of this review will be to review the entire document and to verify that the City is satisfied with the Final EIR. Following receipt of approval, LSA will prepare a preprint copy of the Final EIR for printing.
LSA will be responsible for the production of up to 2 hard copies of the Final EIR. The Final EIR will include the Draft EIR, Response to Comments/Errata, and the MMRP with technical appendices in an electronic format delivered on USB flash drive or other suitable media.
Subsequent to the finalization of the Final EIR, LSA will distribute responses to agency comments.
Each agency will receive a cover letter, a coded copy of the agency’s comment letter, and the responses to that agency’s comments.
Task 4.4: Prepare CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations LSA will prepare the CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations (if applicable) for consideration by the City Council. The Findings of Fact will be prepared in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15091 and 15121(b), and will make one of three specific findings for each significant environmental impact identified in the EIR. Each finding will be accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for the finding. The Findings of Fact will not include impacts found to be less than significant. For the purposes of this Scope of Work and budget, LSA will respond to one round of non-conflicting, consolidated comments from the City on the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations. LSA recommends that the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations (if applicable) be thoroughly reviewed and finalized by the City’s legal counsel because of the legal nature of this document.
Subtask 4.5: Draft and File/Distribute Notice of Determination Following the City’s approval of the EIR, LSA will prepare and file an NOD with the County ClerkRecorder. The Applicant will provide a check for all necessary filing fees (including CDFW fees) to be submitted to the County Clerk-Recorder with the NOD. Once the NOD is filed with the County ClerkRecorder, LSA will provide the original CDFW receipt and copy of the filed NOD to the City for its records. LSA will also file the NOC and proof of payment of the CDFW fees with the State Clearinghouse within 5 days of the City’s certification of the Final EIR. 14 P ROPOSAL TO P REPARE AN EIR

This task includes regular and effective coordination among LSA’s Project Manager/Principal in Charge, City staff, and the Applicant. The project management role provides a mechanism to ensure that there is an adequate exchange of information during project start-up and preparation of the EIR. This task includes notifying City staff and the Applicant of problems as they are encountered and working expeditiously to resolve problems. Important elements of this task will be to maintain the project schedule, oversee the budget, and coordinate efforts with the project team. To facilitate dissemination of information, LSA’s Project Manager will maintain ongoing verbal and email communication with City staff and the Applicant.
This scope provides for up to 12 monthly calls of no longer than one hour between LSA’s Project Manager, City staff, and the Applicant, and LSA attendance at one kick-off meeting with the City, one coordination meeting regarding the proposed project, one working session to discuss City comments on the EIR, and one City Council hearing. In total, four meetings and 12 monthly coordination calls have been budgeted in this Scope of Work.
During the environmental documentation process, LSA will monitor the number of meetings actually attended to determine compliance with this estimate. Any additional meetings beyond the four meetings and twelve coordination calls described above will be attended on a time-and-materials basis, with prior written approval.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Based on LSA’s experience and understanding of the proposed project, preparation of the EIR can be completed within 10–12 months, including the 45-day public review period. It should be noted that LSA has demonstrated its ability to maintain project schedules under aggressive deadlines on many projects in Southern California. LSA recommends the City staff and the LSA Project Manager review the project schedule in Table A, below, and make changes as necessary at the project kick-off meeting.

LSA fees are charged on an hourly basis, consistent with the Schedule of Standard Contract Provisions and Billing Rates, and are provided in Appendix A. The work will be completed on a timeand-materials basis. The fee estimate above will not be exceeded without prior authorization. This fee is based on LSA’s past experience related to the level of effort needed to complete the environmental process for projects of this type. LSA will aggressively identify strategies for reducing the overall work effort while maintaining the City’s objectives and the legal adequacy of the work products. Should there be any changes to the scope described above, the budget may need to be revisited.
BUDGET SPECIFICATIONS AND REIMBURSABLE COSTS
Direct costs (including outside vendors used for photocopying) are to be reimbursed at cost, unless other arrangements are made in advance, and are not included in the hourly fee for professional services. Direct costs can be invoiced separately at your request. Appendix A provides a list of LSA’s current fee schedule for direct costs.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 10.
FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Amending Hourly Pay Ranges for Temporary Part-Time and Seasonal Employees
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution amending hourly pay ranges for temporary part-time and seasonal employees.
DISCUSSION
The labor market has tightened significantly over the past several years. Recruiting employees, particularly at the supervisory and management level, has been challenging and often, requires multiple recruitments before a position is filled. This can result in a department having an unfilled position for months, which negatively impacts operations and public services. One strategy to help address these situations is hiring part-time interim employees while recruiting for a permanent replacement.
It is recommended the City Council amend the schedule for part-time positions to include all management classifications. Historically, the list was limited to executive management and five mid-management positions and expanding the list will provide departments the flexibility to hire part-time, temporary employees in critical positions. For example, there may be situations where a CalPERS annuitant with extensive, applicable experience may be available to assist a department on an interim basis while the recruitment for a full-time employee is be completed.
BUDGET IMPACT
None. Temporary part-time positions would only be authorized to fill vacant, full-time positions with sufficient salary savings.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 11.
FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Establish Pension Trust Goals and Funding Plan
RECOMMENDATION
1. Establish a goal and funding plan for Pension Trust assets to fully offset unfunded CalPERS pension liabilities by 2030; and
2. Authorize investments in the attached PARS Moderate portfolio; and
3. Approve a one-time transfer of $2.5 million from the City's General Fund assigned fund balance for the Pandemic Recovery Plan to the Employee Benefits Fund for investment in the Pension Trust; and
4. Approve a one-time transfer of $2 million from the City's Infrastructure Bank to the Employee Benefits Fund for investment in the Pension Trust.
SUMMARY
The City Council established its Pension Trust in 2017 to more effectively manage the City's California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) unfunded pension liabilities. The City Council has contributed available cash reserves to the Pension Trust to offset the pension liabilities, and Pension Trust assets have grown to $24.3 million as of February 29, 2024. In September 2023, as part of a Strategic Plan objective, the City Council directed the development of a funding plan with a goal for Pension Trust assets to fully offset projected CalPERS unfunded pension liabilities by 2030.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City provides all eligible employees a defined benefit pension plan through CalPERS.
The City is required to make actuarially-determined payments to CalPERS, which actively manages and invests the pension assets. The City's unfunded pension liability is approximately $66 million and has grown significantly in the past few decades due to a variety of factors, including investment earnings falling below CalPERS' assumptions, lower mortality rates, and new actuarial assumptions designed to bolster CalPERS' long-term mortality rates, and new actuarial assumptions designed to bolster CalPERS' long-term sustainability. CalPERS amortizes unfunded liabilities over 30 years and the City's required liability pay down schedule is updated annually as part of the actuarial valuation.
In 2017, the City Council established a Section 115 trust with PARS to pre-fund and offset a portion of the CalPERS unfunded pension liability. A Section 115 trust is a tax-exempt irrevocable pension trust with assets dedicated exclusively towards retirement plan purposes.
The Pension Trust offers many benefits, including:
Creates a formal commitment to address the City's growing pension liability Expects to achieve higher investment returns than the City's investment portfolio, which is largely limited to investing in government securities backed by the Federal government
Creates an asset which offsets pension liabilities on the City's financial statements Maintains City control over assets
Provides pension rate stabilization with the option to withdraw assets annually to pay for pension costs
Acts as an additional rainy day/emergency reserve fund
Solidifies credit ratings
Overview of Pension Trust Assets, September 2023 City Council Pension Workshop and Strategic Plan Objective
The City Council invested $10 million when it established the Pension Trust in 2017. The City's Fiscal Strategies direct a portion of any General Fund year-end savings/unappropriated revenues to the Pension Trust to further address unfunded pension liabilities. Since its initial investment, the City Council has contributed an additional $10.5 million to the Pension Trust and its market value has grown to $24.3 million as of February 29, 2024. The Pension Trust's annualized earnings since 2017 are 4.27 percent compared to the City's investment portfolio of approximately 1.85 percent. Since 2017, Pension Trust earnings have exceeded the City's investment portfolio by 230%.
At its September 11, 2023 workshop, the City Council established a goal for Pension Trust assets to fully offset CalPERS pension liabilities by 2030 and tasked Finance and Administrative Services with recommending options to achieve that goal. The City Council approved a Strategic Plan objective related to the Pension Trust goal in October 2023.
Investment Options
A Section 115 Pension Trust offers more investment options than the City's investment portfolio due to the long-term nature of pension obligations. PARS offers five portfolio options and in 2017 the City Council authorized investments in the Moderate and Moderately Conservative portfolios. These are the second and third most conservative portfolios and the majority of PARS's Section 115 Pension Trust clients invest in one of the two.
The five portfolios have different risk profiles with varying amounts invested in equities and other instruments. As with any investment strategy, as the amount of equities in a portfolio increases, the volatility and risk increases. By contrast, as the percentage of equities decreases, the volatility and risk decrease.

Moderately
Conservative 20-40% 11.1% 5.0% 4.1%
Conservative 5-20% 8.8% 3.3% 3.0%
Cypress' investments are a blend of the Moderate and Moderately Conservative portfolios, comprised of 40% equities and are projected to generate an annual rate of return of just under six percent over the next 30 years. Transitioning to the Moderate portfolio with a 50% mix of equities is expected to yield a return of 6.3 percent over the next 30 years.
Recommendations for Pension Trust Investments to Reach the 2030 Goal CalPERS projects Cypress' unfunded pension liabilities to be $53.1 million by mid-2030. If the City continues funding the Pension Trust annually at the levels established in the Fiscal Strategies, it is estimated Pension Trust assets will total $45.2 million in 2030.
Pension Trust Balance at February 29, 2024 $24.3 million Additional FY 2023-24 Contributions $2.35 million
Estimated Contributions: FY 2024-25 to FY 2029-30 $6 million Estimated Pension Trust Earnings through June 30,
2030
$12.55
million
Estimated Pension Trust Balance at June 30,

$45.2
million
An additional one-time Pension Trust contribution of $4.5 million, combined with shifting the Pension Trust balance to the Moderate portfolio, is projected to grow Pension Trust assets to $53.1 million by 2030, which would fully offset projected unfunded pension liabilities.
It is recommended the $4.5 million be drawn from:
$2.5 million from a set-aside in the General Fund for the Pandemic Recovery Plan for reclaimed water service to Arnold Cypress Park. The new Arnold Cypress Park features synthetic turf athletic fields, eliminating the need for reclaimed waste water. While this project was also intended to bring reclaimed water service to Cypress, there is no expectation that reclaimed water can be extended to Oak Knoll Park given the prohibitive costs to install a pipeline from the area around Arnold Cypress Park to Oak Knoll Park and there is not an identified need for reclaimed water at passive use parks. $2 million in the City's Infrastructure Bank which has set-aside General Fund resources for future facilities and infrastructure improvements. Approximately $44.8 million was available in the Infrastructure Bank for future projects as of February 29, 2024, and there are no known projects that require the $2 million recommended Pension Trust contribution. Accounting for projects included in the Seven-Year CIP, plus interest earnings and loan repayments from the Recreation and Park District, the Infrastructure Bank is projected to have a balance of $33 million in 2030.
It is important to consider that both the estimated growth in Pension Trust assets and the pay down of unfunded pension liabilities is contingent on many long-term factors, the most down of unfunded pension liabilities is contingent on many long-term factors, the most significant of which is the actual annual return on investments. As such, Pension Trust assets and unfunded pension liabilities may change significantly in the short-term. It is recommended the goal and funding plan be reviewed every three years to assess the City's progress. These three-year reviews will also provide the City Council with an opportunity to adjust pension trust funding and the investment mix.
BUDGET IMPACT
There is no anticipated impact on the FY 2023-24 budget or future budgets from the recommendations. The $4.5 million contribution recommended to the Pension Trust consists of reserves in the General Fund and Infrastructure Bank and will remain available in the Pension Trust for the foreseeable future. Any future asset additions or withdrawals from the Pension Trust will be considered as part of the annual budget process. Pension Trust assets may be used to pay for future pension costs, including offsetting CalPERS contributions, if the City Council finds it necessary.

The adviser to the PARS portfolios is U.S. Bank, and HighMark serves as sub-adviser to U.S. Bank to manage these portfolios. U.S. Bank may charge clients as much as 0.60% annual management fee based on a sliding scale. U.S. Bank pays HighMark 60% of the annual management fee for assets sub-advised by HighMark under its sub-advisory agreement with U.S. Bank. The 0.36% paid to HighMark, as well as other expenses that may be incurred in the management of the portfolio, will reduce the portfolio’s returns. Assuming an investment for five years, a 5% annual total return, and an annual sub-advisory fee rate of 0.36% deducted from the assets at market at the end of each year, a $10 million initial value would grow to $12.53 million after fees (Net-of-Fees) and $12.76 million before fees (Gross-of-Fees). Gross returns are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading expenses and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. A client's return will be reduced by the advisory fees and other expenses it may incur as a client.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 12.
FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the Month Ended February 29, 2024
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached investment report.
DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 53607 and Cypress Municipal Code Section 2-18(f) requires the submission of a monthly investment report to the City Council. As of February 29, 2024, the City had $202.7 million (current market value) in cash and investments and the interest return (yield) on the public funds investments was 4.37%. As required by the Government Code, all investments are in conformity with the City's investment policy and sufficient cash flows are available to meet the next six months of estimated expenditures.
The attached Summary of Cash and Investments present the investments held by the City of Cypress as of February 29, 2024. The Investment Reports consist of the following five summaries:
1. Summary of Cash and Investments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.
Changes in Cash and Investments - Provides a two-month cash flow analysis by fund type. These separate fund types allow for restricted monies to be segregated and tracked separately. The total ending amount agrees to the current market value shown in the Summary of Cash and Investments.
2. Investments at Market Value by Maturity Date - Provides a list of investments by maturity date, and an indication of the liquidity (ability to turn into cash) of the investments. The California Government Code restricts the type of investments eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted investments.
These restrictions in investment types and the terms of allowable investments result in limited yields on City investments.
3. Interfund Investments - Indicates outstanding loans between City funds. There are three approved loans due to the Infrastructure Reserve Fund from the Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund related to the construction of Lexington Park and the rehabilitation of Arnold Cypress Park.
4. and the rehabilitation of Arnold Cypress Park.
Summary of Cash and Investments Held In Trust - Presents investments held in trust by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for offsetting unfunded pension liabilities. The pension trust amounts can only be used for future pension obligations.
The legal restrictions on the allowable investment types are less restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the potential for higher yields to be earned over the long-term on investments held in the pension trust.
5. As mentioned previously, the City had $202.7 (current market value) in cash and investments at February 29, 2024. The investments included Federal Agencies Debt ($140.3 million) and Investment Pools ($59.6 million). The City's bank accounts held $2.8 million on February 29, 2024.
A portion of the investment portfolio is invested in the State Investment Pool (Local Agency Investment Fund or LAIF) which is managed by investment experts and provides a diversified investment pool for local agencies to invest. By using the combined size of the participating cities and agencies, the State Pool can provide a competitive yield, liquidity and investment knowledge that otherwise would not be available to a single entity.
The amount of cash in the City’s checking accounts fluctuates based on the maturity of investments, daily cash receipts, and when vendors and employees are paid. The daily balances maintained in the checking accounts provide credits which offset monthly bank charges. In addition to the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures the first $250,000, excess checking deposits are secured by banks, government, or mortgage securities valued between 110% and 150% of the deposits.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 14.
FROM: Alisha Farnell, City Clerk
DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Approve a Service Agreement for Electronic Filing of Campaign Disclosure Statements, Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700), and Ethics Training Module
RECOMMENDATION
Approve an agreement with NetFile, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $7,000 annually for electronic filing systems for campaign disclosure statements, statements of economic interest (Form 700), and an ethics training module.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with the provisions of the Government Code, the City of Cypress Charter, the Municipal Code, and the Conflict of Interest Code, the City Clerk is the filing officer for required campaign disclosure statements for city campaign committees and candidates, as well as statements of economic interest (Form 700) filed by Council Members, Commissioners, and designated employees and consultants. Per the Government Code, the filing officer is responsible for accepting, reviewing and providing public access to filed statements. Additionally, recent changes in state law require the filing officer to make all campaign disclosure statements available on the internet within 72 hours of each filing deadline.
Currently, the City Clerk's office receives all required statements and reports in paper form.
Once filed, the City Clerk's office manually reviews, scans, redacts and posts all documents online for public access. This manual system requires a significant amount of staff resources to implement. An electronic filing system will streamline this process and provide a user-friendly online filing portal for campaign committees, candidates, Council Members, Commissioners, and City employees and consultants.
The City Clerk's office recently requested presentations and quotes from vendors known to provide electronic filing systems for campaign disclosure statements and statements of economic interests as required by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). All electronic filing systems must be approved by the FPPC under state law. Based on the vendor presentations, the City Clerk's office recommends the City Council approve the attached service agreement with Netfile, Inc. for electronic filing systems for campaign disclosure statements, statements of economic interest (Form 700), and an ethics training module.
NetFile, established in 1998, was the first company to e-file a campaign finance disclosure statement in California. The NetFile system was created specifically for cities and counties responsible for administering campaign disclosure statements and statements of economic interest, meets the requirements of the state, and allows for increased transparency as the data submitted in the system is more searchable and can be easily downloaded for analysis by the public. In terms of security, the NetFile system is a web-based, vendor-hosted application that utilizes industry best practices for securing data, using the same data encryption for online filings that is used by banks for online banking. NetFile stores and backs up data at three separate locations, creating the essential safety measures and redundancy that will allow for recovery of information in the event of an emergency or disaster. The City's data will be retained in compliance with state and local regulations.
One component unique to the NetFile system is the ethics training module. Currently, the City utilizes a free ethics training module offered by the FPPC. However, state funding for the FPPC's training module was set to expire in 2024 and the future of the module is unknown. Approving the service agreement with NetFile will ensure the City can continue providing ethics training to its Council Members, Commissioners, and designated employees as required under state law.
BUDGET IMPACT
The annual fee for services under Netfile's service agreement is $7,000 for the duration of the agreement. Sufficient amounts are available in the General Fund budget for the remainder of the fiscal year and future budgets will incorporate the annual service fees.
LEGAL REVIEW
The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 15.
FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 03/25/2024
SUBJECT: Approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement for City-Owned Property at 5732 Lincoln Avenue
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a Resolution approving a Purchase and Sale Agreement for City-owned property at 5732 Lincoln Avenue to Olson Urban Housing, LLC; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to sign and finalize documents associated with the sale; and
3. Find the project exempt from California Environmental Quality Act requirements.
DISCUSSION
Background
In 2003, the Cypress Redevelopment Agency purchased property at 5732 Lincoln Avenue with the intent of contributing it as part of a larger, future affordable housing development.
Before the RDA could advance an affordable housing development with 5732 Lincoln Avenue, the State dissolved redevelopment agencies and transferred affordable housing responsibilities to housing successor agencies. The City serves as Cypress’ Housing Successor Agency and became responsible for 5732 Lincoln Avenue in 2013. As part of redevelopment agency dissolution, the State required property owned by housing successor agencies be disposed of by October 14, 2023. Since 2013, the City's repeated efforts to facilitate a larger affordable housing development with 5732 Lincoln Avenue and properties adjacent to it have been unsuccessful.
On June 12, 2023, the City Council initiated the first phase of the disposition process by declaring 5732 Lincoln Avenue surplus and authorized the release of a Notice of Availability (NOA). The NOA was sent to over 100 State-recognized housing sponsors. The NOA closed in August 2023, with three interested parties responding: The Olson Companies, Affordable Housing Partners, and The Laing Companies. Affordable Housing Partners withdrew its interest and The Laing Companies did not respond to the City’s request for further information.
The City Council’s Strategic Plan includes an objective to recommend the second phase of the sale of the property to the City Council.
Discussion
A draft development plan prepared by The Olson Companies was presented to the City Council on November 13, 2023. Olson's plan proposes 20 residential units, including five units affordable to low-income households. The proposal includes 8,000 square feet of open space, 48 parking spaces, and complies with the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan. Full project plans will be prepared if the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) is approved and presented to the City Council as a standard residential development application.
The PSA contains the following terms:
Approval of the PSA initiates the escrow process which concludes if the City Council approves Olson's residential development application.
The property was appraised for $1,629,000. Olson will buy the property from the City for this price and pay all escrow fees.
The $1,629,000 will be retained by Olson to subsidize the affordable units, with each unit receiving $325,000 as a second loan from the City.
Covenants will be recorded against the affordable units, ensuring their adherence to low-income affordability for 55 years. If a unit is sold during this period, the note will transfer to the new property owner until the 55-year restriction expires.
The attached PSA binds Olson and the City to these terms and a Schedule of Performance. If Olson fails to develop the project pursuant to the schedule, control of the property returns to the City.
The Olson Company has been in business for over 35 years and is located in Seal Beach. It has developed more than 10 similar affordable housing projects in Southern California.
Project cost is estimated at $25 million, and Olson has secured funding.
The Surplus Land Act requires that 25% of the units in a project with more than 10 units must be affordable. The project was submitted to the State for review and has been approved.
BUDGET IMPACT
At the close of escrow, the PSA provides that title to the land will transfer to Olson Urban Housing LLC and the $1,629,000 of proceeds from the sale will be retained by Olson to subsidize the affordable units by issuing secondary loans from the City.
The $500 per month the City currently receives to rent the vacant land to a local farming operation will cease when escrow closes and title is transferred to the new owner.

3. Approval of Title Exceptions. Prior to the date in the Schedule of Performance, City shall deliver a preliminary report for the Site, dated no earlier than the Effective Date, to Buyer including copies of all documents referenced therein (“Title Report”). Prior to the date in the Schedule of Performance (“Title Approval Date”), Buyer shall deliver to City written notice, with a copy to Escrow Agent, specifying in detail any exception disapproved and the reason therefor. If on or before the Title Approval Date Buyer fails to deliver any written notice objecting to Title, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved Title to the Site. Prior to the date in the Schedule of Performance, City shall deliver written notice to Buyer as to whether City will or will not cure (meaning removal of the disapproved exception from Title and not issuance of an endorsement related thereto) the disapproved exceptions. If City elects not to cure the disapproved exceptions, Buyer may terminate this Agreement without any liability of City to Buyer, or Buyer may withdraw its earlier disapproval. If City elects to cure the disapproved exceptions, City shall do so on or before the Closing. If, after the Title Approval Date, Buyer receives a supplement to the Title Report from the Title Company setting forth any new matter of record encumbering the Site which was not set forth on the original Title Report (or any previous supplement thereto) and of which Buyer was not otherwise aware as of the Title Approval Date (“New Title Matter”), Buyer may, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. P.S.T. on the third (3rd) business day following Buyer’s receipt of notice of such New Title Matter (“New Matter Approval Date”), object to such New Title Matter by sending written notice thereof to City and Escrow Holder; provided, however, City shall remove any monetary liens which constitute New Title Matters regardless of whether Buyer timely objects to such monetary liens. Buyer’s failure to object in writing to any New Title Matter on or prior to the New Matter Approval Date shall be automatically deemed to be Buyer’s approval of such New Title Matter and such New Title Matter shall thereafter be deemed to be a permitted encumbrances. If Buyer delivers written objection to any New Title Matter on or prior to the New Matter Approval Date applicable thereto, and City does not deliver as of 5:00 p.m. P.S.T. on the fifth (5th) business day following the New Matter Approval Date (“City Response Date”) written notice that City covenants and agrees to remove prior to the Closing such New Title Matter objected to by Buyer, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice thereof to City and Escrow Holder on or before 5:00 p.m. P.S.T. on the second (2nd) business day following City Response Date (“New Matter Termination Date”). Buyer’s failure to terminate this Agreement in writing as a result of any New Title Matter on or prior to the New Matter Termination Date shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of its right to terminate this Agreement as a result of such New Title Matter.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 13
4. Title Policies

K. (§411) Termination of Escrow.
1. Termination. Escrow may be terminated by demand of either party which then shall have fully performed its obligations hereunder required to be performed by the date of such demand if:
a. The Conditions to Closing have not occurred or have not been approved, disapproved, or waived as the case may be, by the approving party by the date established herein for the occurrence of such Condition, including any grace period pursuant to this Section; or
b. Either party is in breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods; or c. Either party has been granted such right expressly in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate pursuant to Section 405.
In the event of the foregoing, the terminating party may, in writing, demand return of its money, papers, or documents from the Escrow Agent and shall deliver a copy of such demand to the non-terminating party. No demand shall be recognized by the Escrow Agent until fifteen (15) days after the Escrow Agent shall have mailed copies of such demand to the non-terminating party, and if no objections are raised in writing to the terminating party and the Escrow Agent by the non-terminating party within the fifteen (15) day period. In the event of such objections, the opportunity to cure shall be provided as stated below in subsection 2 of this Section. In addition, the Escrow Agent is authorized to hold all money, papers, and documents until instructed in writing by both Buyer and City or, upon failure thereof, by a court of competent jurisdiction. If no such demands are made, the Escrow shall be closed as soon as possible and neither party shall have any further liability to the other.
2. Opportunity to Cure. Prior to Closing, in the event any of the Conditions to Closing are not satisfied or waived by the party benefitted by such Conditions (“Benefitted Party”), the non-approving Party shall be entitled to extend the Closing Date by thirty (30) days to allow the satisfaction of such Condition and only if such Conditions still cannot be satisfied by the extended Closing Date the Benefitted Party terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Buyer is the Benefitted Party, none of the foregoing provisions shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of Buyer’s other rights or remedies against the City in the event a condition is not satisfied due to a default by the City and (b) if the City is the Benefitted Party none of the foregoing provisions shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of City’s rights or remedies under this Agreement (but subject to the limitations of 3 immediately below) against the Buyer in the event a condition is not satisfied due to a default by the Buyer.
3. Other Duties upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement and Escrow pursuant to this Section for any reason, the parties shall have the following duties and obligations in addition to any others described above:
a. In the event such termination is due to the default of Buyer, JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 18
(i) CITY WILL BE DAMAGED AND WILL BE ENTITLED TO
COMPENSATION FOR THOSE DAMAGES; BUT SUCH DAMAGES WILL BE
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: (1) THE DAMAGES TO WHICH CITY WOULD BE ENTITLED IN A COURT
OF LAW WILL BE BASED IN PART ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE SITE AT THE TIME SET FOR THE CLOSING; (2) PROOF OF THE
AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES WILL BE BASED ON OPINIONS OF VALUE OF THE SITE, WHICH CAN VARY IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS; AND (E) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
PREDICT AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE WHETHER THE VALUE OF THE SITE WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE AS OF THE CLOSING. THE PARTIES WISH TO AVOID THE
COSTS AND LENGTHY DELAYS WHICH WOULD RESULT IF SELLER FILED A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT ITS DAMAGES FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF
ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT
BY BUYER (INCLUDING TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY CITY DUE TO BUYER DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT), THEN (i) BUYER’S DEPOSIT ACTUALLY
DELIVERED INTO ESCROW BY BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF CITY’S DAMAGES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1671 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AND (ii) CITY’S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE LIMITED TO COLLECTION OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE NOT INTENDED AS A PENALTY OR A FORFEITURE UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369. EXCEPT
AS PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ALL
OTHER CLAIMS, DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3384, 3387 AND 3389.
Buyer Initials: ___________________
City Initials: ___________________
(ii) All non-privileged and non-proprietary plans, drawings, specifications, reports, and other documents prepared by Buyer or Buyer’s contractors or vendors shall be delivered to City, without representation or warranty, by Buyer within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from City but subject to the rights and requirements of the third parties preparing same.
c. In the event such termination is due to the default of City, Buyer shall be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement, and in such case, the Deposit shall be fully refunded to Buyer, but Buyer shall not be entitled to any damages of any kind; provided, however, City shall reimburse Buyer for reasonable Project costs, incurred prior to such termination, but not yet paid as of termination or (ii) seek specific performance of this Agreement.
L. (§412) Responsibility of Escrow Agent.

The Escrow Agent shall be responsible for timely notifying Buyer and City of the controversy. In the event of such a controversy, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for interest or damage costs resulting from failure to timely close Escrow or take any other action unless such controversy has been caused by the failure of the Escrow Agent to perform its responsibilities hereunder.
V. (§500) DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE.
A. (§501) Development Per Regulatory Agreement.
The Site shall be developed by Buyer as provided in the Regulatory Agreement, and the plans and permits approved by City and City pursuant to Section 502. Buyer shall commence and diligently prosecute the Project to completion within the time provided in the Schedule of Performance and otherwise in compliance with this Agreement.
B. (§502) Development Plans, Final Building Plans and Environmental Review.
1. Proposed Development’s Consistency With Plan and Codes. Buyer shall obtain all Entitlements at its own cost. City warrants and represents that City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance permit Buyer’s conceptual development of the Site, and construction, operation, and use of the Project as provided in this Agreement, subject only to (i) those development approvals yet to be obtained, including, if necessary, proposed General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments, Site Plan Review and subdivision approval (if required), and (ii) City’s review and approval of the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act; provided that it is expressly understood by the JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 20
parties hereto that City makes no representations or warranties with respect to approvals required by any other governmental entity or with respect to approvals hereinafter required from City and City reserving full police power over the Project. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a prejudgment or commitment with respect to such items, nor a guarantee that such approvals or permits will be issued within any particular time or with or without any particular conditions.
2. Evolution of Development Plan. Concurrently with the approval of this Agreement, City has reviewed Developer’s Basic Concept Drawings. On or before the date set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer shall submit to City preliminary, and thereafter final, drawings and specifications for development of the Site and each Site thereof in accordance with the Scope of Development, and all in accordance with City’s requirements.
3. Buyer Efforts to Obtain Approvals. Buyer shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to timely submit all documents and information necessary to obtain all development and building approvals from City in accordance with the Schedule of Performance. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, in developing and constructing the Project, Buyer shall comply with all applicable development standards in City’s Municipal Code and shall comply with all building code, landscaping, signage, and parking requirements, except as may be permitted through approved variances and modifications.
4. City Assistance. Subject to Buyer’s compliance with (i) the applicable City development standards for the Site, and (ii) all applicable laws and regulations governing such matters as public hearings, site plan review and environmental review, City agrees to provide reasonable assistance to Buyer, at no cost to City, in the processing of Buyer’s submittals required under this Section and exert commercially reasonable efforts to process Buyer’s submittals. City’s failure to provide necessary approvals or permits within such time periods, after and despite Buyer’s reasonable efforts to submit the documents and information necessary to obtain the same, shall constitute an Enforced Delay.
5. Disapproval. City shall approve or disapprove in writing each submittal made by Buyer pursuant to this Section within ninety (90) days after such submittal. Any disapproval shall state in writing the reason for the disapproval and the changes which City requests be made. City’s failure to disapprove the submittal within fninety (90) days shall be deemed an approval of the submittal. Buyer shall make the required changes and revisions which would not materially impact the economic feasibility of the Project and resubmit for approval as soon as is reasonably practicable but no more than thirty (30) days after the date of disapproval. Thereafter, City shall have an additional thirty (30) days for review of the resubmittal, but if City disapproves the resubmittal, then the cycle shall repeat, until City’s approval has been obtained. The foregoing time periods may be shortened if so specified in the Schedule of Performance.
6. CEQA. The term “Environmental Review” shall mean the investigation and analysis of the Project’s impacts on the environment as may be required under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq., “NEPA”) if required., or of the Project’s impacts on any species of plant or animal listed as a species of concern, a threatened JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 21
species, or an endangered species as may be required by the California Endangered Species Act (“CESA”), Fish and Game Code §2050, et seq., and/or the U.S. Endangered Species Act (“USESA”), 16 U.S.C. §1531, et seq., or other applicable California or federal law or regulation. Pursuant to the Class 32 “in-fill” categorical exemption (CEQA Guideline Section 15332), the Project is exempt from Environmental Review, because the Project is defined as an in-fill development project, located on no more than five acres, has no native vegetation or watercourses present on site, can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services, and the existing street network has adequate capacity to accommodate the anticipated traffic from the proposed Project.
C. (§503) Buyer Responsibilities During Construction.
No party hereto shall take any action that would reasonably cause the development of the Project to become subject to prevailing wages. To the extent that Buyer is required to or is determined to be responsible to pay prevailing wages for the development of the Project, Buyer shall defend and hold City and City harmless from and against any increase in construction costs, or other liability, loss, damage, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising from or as a result of any action or determination that any portion of the Project is subject to payment of prevailing wages. This Section shall survive termination of the Agreement. Buyer shall take actions as City shall reasonably require to minimize the impact of construction and airborne debris on nearby property.

The policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A-” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of City (“Risk Manager”) due to unique circumstances.
Buyer shall request (but cannot guarantee) that all contracts with contractors, subcontractors, architects, and engineers provided that the contractor, subcontractor, architect, or engineer shall maintain (if applicable) the same policies of insurance required to be maintained by Buyer pursuant to this Section, unless waived or modified by the Risk Manager.
Buyer agrees that the provisions of this Section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Buyer may be held responsible for the payment of damages to JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 23
any persons or property resulting from Buyer’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Buyer is otherwise responsible.

H. (§508) Rights of Access.
Representatives of City shall have the reasonable right to access the Site upon reasonable prior notice without charges or fees, at any time during normal construction hours during the period of construction and upon reasonable notice to Buyer, for the purpose of assuring compliance with this Agreement, including but not limited to the inspection of the construction work being performed by or on behalf of Buyer. Such representatives of City shall be those who are so identified in writing by the City Manager. Each such representative of City shall identify himself or herself at the job site office upon his or her entrance to the Site, and shall provide Buyer, or the construction superintendent or similar person in charge on the Site, a reasonable opportunity to have a representative accompany him or her during the inspection.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 512, until Project Completion, Buyer shall not place or allow to be placed thereon any mortgage, trust deed, encumbrance or lien (except mechanic’s liens prior to suit to foreclose the same being filed) prohibited by this Agreement. Buyer shall remove or have removed any levy or attachment made on the Site, or assure the satisfaction thereof, within a reasonable time, but in any event prior to a sale thereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit Buyer from contesting the validity or amounts of any tax, assessment, encumbrance or lien, or to limit the remedies available to Buyer in respect JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 24
thereto.
L. (§512) Rights of Holders of Approved Security Interests in Site.
1. Definitions. As used in this Section, the term “mortgage” shall include any mortgage, whether a leasehold mortgage or otherwise, deed of trust, or other security interest, or sale and lease-back, or any other form of conveyance for financing. The term “holder” shall include the holder of any such mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the lessor under a lease-back, or the grantee under any other conveyance for financing.
2. No Encumbrances Except Mortgages to Finance the Project.
Notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer in Section 303, mortgages required for any reasonable method of financing of the development and/or construction of the Project are permitted before Project Completion but only for the purpose of securing loans of funds used or to be used for the construction and development of the Project, and for any other expenditures necessary and appropriate to develop Project under this Agreement, or for restructuring or refinancing any for same, so long as the refinancing does not exceed the then outstanding balance of the existing financing, including any additional costs for completion of construction, whether direct or indirect, based upon the estimates of architects and/or contractors. Any holder shall not be bound by any later amendment, implementation, or modification to this Agreement without such lender giving its prior written consent thereto.
In any event, Buyer shall promptly notify City of any mortgage, encumbrance, or lien that has been created or attached thereto prior to Project Completion, whether by voluntary act of Buyer or otherwise.
3. Buyer’s Breach Not to Defeat Mortgage Lien. Buyer’s breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not defeat or render invalid the lien of any mortgage made in good faith and for value as to the Site, or any part thereof or interest therein, but unless otherwise provided herein, the terms, conditions, covenants, restrictions, easements, and reservations of this Agreement shall be binding and effective against the holder of any such mortgage of the Site whose interest is acquired by foreclosure, trustee’s sale or otherwise.
4. Holder Not Obligated to Construct or Complete Improvements. The holder shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete the improvements or to guarantee such construction or completion.
5. Notice of Default to Holders of Mortgages, Deed of Trust or other Security Interest. Whenever City shall deliver any notice or demand to Buyer with respect to any breach or default by Buyer hereunder, City shall at the same time deliver a copy of such notice or demand to each holder who has previously made a written request to City therefor, or to the representative of such lender as may be identified in such a written request by the lender. No notice of default shall be effective as to the holder unless such notice is given.
6. Right to Cure. Each holder (insofar as the rights of City are concerned) shall have the right, at its option, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of the notice, to:
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 25
a. obtain possession, if necessary, and to commence and diligently pursue said cure until the same is completed, and
b. add the cost of said cure to the security interest debt and the lien or obligation on its security interest;
provided that in the case of a default which cannot with diligence be remedied or cured within such ninety (90) day period, such holder shall have additional time as reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default.
In the event there is more than one such holder, the right to cure or remedy a breach or default of Buyer under this Section shall be exercised by the holder first in priority or as the holders may otherwise agree among themselves, but there shall be only one exercise of such right to cure and remedy a breach or default of Buyer under this Section.
No holder shall undertake or continue the construction or completion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to preserve or protect the improvements or construction already made) without first submitting evidence reasonably satisfactory to City that it has the qualifications and financial responsibility necessary to construct and complete the improvements and enter into an agreement with City with respect to the obligations hereunder.
7. City’s Rights upon Failure of Holder to Complete Improvements. If a holder does not exercise the option to construct the Project as described above within one hundred eighty (180) days after taking title to the Site under Section 805 or if it has exercised such option and has not proceeded diligently with construction, City may, after ninety (90) days’ notice to such holder and if within said ninety (90) day period such holder has not begun to proceed diligently with construction, purchase the mortgage, upon payment to the holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
a. The unpaid mortgage debt including accrued and unpaid interest, fees and penalties;
b. All expenses incurred by the holder with respect to foreclosure, if any;
c. All third party expenses (exclusive of general overhead) of any kind, incurred by the holder as a direct result of the ownership or management of the Site, such as insurance premiums or real estate taxes, if any;
d. The costs of any improvements made by such holder, if any; and e. An amount equivalent to the interest that would have accrued on the aggregate of such amounts had all such amounts become part of the mortgage debt and such debt had continued in existence to the date of payment by City.
In the event that the holder does not exercise its option to construct afforded in this Section, and City elects not to purchase the mortgage of holder, upon written request by the holder to City, City agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist the holder selling the holder’s JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 26
interest to a qualified and responsible party or parties approved by the holder. The proceeds of such a sale shall be applied first to the holder of those items specified in subparagraphs a. through e. hereinabove, and any balance remaining thereafter shall be applied as follows:
(1) First, to reimburse City, on its own behalf and on behalf of City, for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by City, including but not limited to payroll expenses, management expenses, legal expenses, and others. (2) Second, to reimburse City, on its own behalf and on behalf of City, for all payments made by City to discharge any other encumbrances or liens on the Site or to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults, or acts of Buyer, its successors or transferees. (3) Third, to reimburse City, on its own behalf and on behalf of City, for all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by City, in connection with its efforts assisting the holder in selling the holder’s interest in accordance with this Section. (4) Fourth, any balance remaining thereafter shall be paid to Buyer.
8. Right of City to Cure Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Other Security Interest Default. In the event of a default or breach by Buyer (or entity permitted to acquire Title under this Section) under a mortgage prior to Project Completion, and the holder of any such mortgage has not exercised its option to complete the Project as provided above, City may cure the default prior to completion of any foreclosure. In such event, City shall be entitled to reimbursement from Buyer or other entity of all costs and expenses incurred by City in curing the default, to the extent permitted by law, as if such mortgage holder initiated such claim for reimbursement, including legal costs and attorneys’ fees, which right of reimbursement shall be secured by a lien upon the Site to the extent of such costs and disbursements. Any such lien shall be subject to:
a. Any Senior Financing; and
b. Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the holders; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose upon City any affirmative obligations (by the payment of money, construction or otherwise) with respect to the Site in the event of its enforcement of its lien.
9. Right of City to Satisfy Other Liens on the Site After Conveyance of Title. After the Closing and prior to Project Completion, and after Buyer has had a reasonable time to challenge, cure, or satisfy any liens or encumbrances on the Site or any portion thereof, City shall have the right to satisfy any such liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer to pay or make provision for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as Buyer in good faith shall contest the validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment shall not subject the Site or any portion thereof to forfeiture or sale.
M. (§513) Project Completion.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 27
After Project Completion, any third party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Site shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease, or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement with respect to the Site, except that such third party shall be bound by the covenants, encumbrances, and easements contained in the Grant Deed and the Regulatory Agreement.
After Completion of the Project, City shall not have any rights or remedies under this Agreement with respect to the Site, except as otherwise set forth or incorporated in the Grant Deed or the Regulatory Agreement.
Project Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of Buyer to any holder, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the improvements, or any part thereof.
N. (§514) Estoppels.
No later than fifteen (15) days after the request of Buyer or any holder, City shall, from time to time and upon the request of such holder, execute and deliver to Buyer or such holder a written statement of City that no default or breach exists (or would exist with the passage of time, or giving of notice or both) by Buyer under this Agreement, if such be the determination of City, and certifying as to whether or not Buyer has at the date of such certification complied with any obligation of Buyer hereunder as to which such holder may inquire. The form of any estoppel letter shall be prepared by the holder or Buyer and shall be at no cost to City.
O. (§ 515) Subordination.
City agrees to subordinate the Deed of Trust, Regulatory Agreement, this Agreement, and the Deed to Senior Financing. City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute such subordination agreements, intercreditor agreements, tri-party agreements, stand-still agreements, modifications to this Agreement, Note, Deed of Trust, the Deed and the Regulatory Agreement and/or other documents as may be reasonably requested by a Senior Financing holder. The execution of such agreements is subject to the requirement that such agreements contain written provisions which City Manager and City Attorney find are consistent with the standard requirements imposed by the lender for financing of similar projects in Orange county, the subordination requirements contained in this Agreement and that City be given notice and be permitted an opportunity to cure any defaults under the senior lien within a reasonable time.
City shall only be required to subordinate the Deed of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement, this Agreement and the Deed to Senior Financing provided the following requirements are satisfied:
a. Buyer is not in default under any obligations to City including, but not limited to, the Regulatory Agreement and this Agreement.
b. The Senior Financing holder agrees to provide City with any notice of default which is provided by the Senior Financing holder to Buyer and provide City with the right JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 28
(but not the obligation) to cure any default and extend the time for such cure provided City is diligently processing the cure of such default. c. A request for special notice and a request for notice of delinquency be recorded concurrently with the subordination agreement.
d. City will execute a subordination agreement for recordation as reasonably required by a title company to provide title insurance for the Senior Financing. e. Concurrently with the recordation of the subordination agreement, City’s Title Policy shall be updated as required by City at Developer’s cost and expense insuring the Deed of Trust is junior only to the specified Senior Financing. f. City shall be provided complete executed copies of all Senior Financing loan documents.
City shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement from Developer for any costs associated with curing a default on a senior lien. If not paid by Developer, such sum shall be added to the Note and secured by the Deed of Trust.
VI. (§600) USES AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SITE
A. (§601) Uses of the Site.
Effective on the Closing, Buyer covenants and agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, which covenants shall run with the land and bind every successor or assign in interest of Buyer, that during development of the Site pursuant to this Agreement and thereafter, neither the Site nor the improvements, nor any portion thereof, shall be improved, used or occupied in violation of any applicable governmental restrictions or the restrictions of this Agreement. Furthermore, Buyer and its successors and assigns shall not initiate, maintain, commit, or permit the maintenance or commission on the Site or in the improvements, or any portion thereof, of any nuisance, public or private, as now or hereafter defined by any statutory or decisional law applicable to the Site or the improvements, or any portion thereof. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer further covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns to devote, use, operate and maintain the Site in accordance with this Agreement, the Grant Deed, the Regulatory Agreement, and the other documents recorded against the Site pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary or that appears to be to the contrary in this Agreement and except as set forth in any subordination agreement, Buyer hereby covenants, on behalf of itself, and its successors and assigns, which covenants shall run with the land and bind every successor and assign in interest of Buyer, that Buyer and such successors and assigns shall use the Site solely for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and operating the Project meeting the requirements and restrictions of this Agreement, including, without limitations, restriction of the sale and occupancy of the Affordable Units only to Qualified Purchasers for the Affordable Purchase Price.
B. (§602) Affordable Housing.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 29
1. Construction of Affordable Housing. Five (5) of the Residential Units shall be restricted to Low Income Households. The location, size and specifications of the Affordable Units, including affordability level, shall be as reasonably agreed to by City. All Residential Units, shall be subject to and shall be sold in compliance with the selection criteria described in the Regulatory Agreement.
2. Affordable Unit Requirements. Each of the Affordable Units shall be occupied at all times only by the Low Income Household that has purchased that Affordable Unit. Buyer covenants to cooperate with City in taking all steps necessary to implement this requirement with respect to all Affordable Units. The restrictions upon sale and use of each Affordable Unit shall continue for a period of forty-five (45) years from the initial sale of the Affordable Unit by Buyer to a Qualified Purchaser.
3. Sale of Affordable Units by Buyer.
Prior to the deadline specified in the Schedule of Performance, Buyer shall prepare and obtain City’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of a marketing program (“Approved Marketing Program”) for the selection of purchasers of the Affordable Units, at the Project that shall be in accordance and consistent with the use and other requirements and restrictions of the Regulatory Agreement. The Affordable Units shall thereafter be marketed in accordance with the Approved Marketing Program as the same may be amended by Buyer from time to time with City’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Monthly during the initial sale period, and annually thereafter, Buyer shall provide City with a report with respect to Affordable Units under a purchase and sale agreement, the status of implementation of the Approved Marketing Program, and such other information as City may reasonably request. City agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in connection with implementation of the Approved Marketing Program; provided, City shall not be under any obligation to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. City agrees to make “silent second” loans to the purchasers of each of the Affordable Units within the Project (“Qualified Purchaser Loans”). The principal amount of each Qualified Purchaser Loan shall be one fifth (1/5th) the amount of the Note.
Homeowner repayment of Qualified Purchaser Loans shall be due upon the subsequent transfer of the Affordable Unit, with no periodic payments required. Any remaining balance of the Qualified Purchaser Loan shall be forgiven upon the expiration of the affordability covenant for such Affordable Unit, provided that such affordability covenant is not in default at such time. The Qualified Purchaser Loans shall be assumable by subsequent purchasers of the Affordable Units who satisfy the requirements of the Regulatory Agreement. Qualified Purchaser Loans will be secured with deeds of trust which will be subordinate to first mortgage financing for the Affordable Unit. Buyer shall coordinate the issuance of such “silent seconds” between City and each Qualified Purchaser.
4. Termination of License.
Prior to the Closing City will terminate the License and cause the Licensee to vacate the Site.
C. (§603) Obligation to Refrain from Discrimination.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 30
There shall be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any persons, or group of persons, on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the rental, sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, or enjoyment of the Site, or any portion thereof, nor shall Buyer, or any person claiming under or through Buyer, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees of the Site or any portion thereof (except as permitted by this Agreement).

JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 31
E. (§605) Maintenance of Improvements.
Buyer covenants and agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, and every successor in interest to the Site or any part thereof, that, after Project Completion, and prior to the Project homeowner’s association becoming responsible for same, Buyer shall (i) be responsible for maintenance of all improvements that may exist on the Site from time to time, including without limitation buildings, parking lots, lighting, signs, and walls, in good working condition and repair, and shall keep the Site free from any accumulation of debris or waste materials and (ii) maintain all landscaping required pursuant to Buyer’s approved landscaping plan in a healthy condition, including replacement of any dead or diseased plants. The foregoing maintenance obligations shall run with the land in accordance with and for the term of the Regulatory Agreement. Buyer’s further obligations to maintain the Site, and City’s remedies in the event of Buyer’s default in performing such obligations, are set forth in the Regulatory Agreement. Buyer hereby waives any notice, public hearing, and other requirements of the public nuisance laws and ordinances of City that would otherwise apply, except as specified in said Regulatory Agreement. Upon the sale of any portion of the Site to a third party in which Buyer has no interest, Buyer shall be released from the requirements imposed by this Section 605, and the financial liability therefor, as to the portion of the Site conveyed.
F. (§606) Effect of Covenants.
City is a beneficiary of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and of the restrictions and covenants running with the land, whether appearing in the Grant Deed, or the Regulatory Agreement, for and in its own right for the purposes of protecting the interests of the community in whose favor and for whose benefit the covenants running with the land have been provided. The covenants in favor of City shall run without regard to whether City has been, remains or is an owner of any land or interest therein in the Site, and shall be effective as both covenants and equitable servitudes against the Site. City shall have the right, if any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement which are provided for its benefit are breached, to exercise all rights and remedies and to maintain any actions or suits at law or in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breaches to which it may be entitled. No other person or entity shall have any right to enforce the terms of this Agreement under a theory of third-party beneficiary or otherwise. The covenants running with the land and their duration are set forth in the Grant Deed and the Regulatory Agreement.
VII. (§700) SPECIAL PROVISIONS
A. (§701) Amendments to this Agreement to Comply with Senior Financing.
If reasonable changes to this Agreement are reasonably required by the lender providing Senior Financing pursuant to Section 401, the parties agree to effectuate such changes, City Manager is authorized, without further approval of City Council, but with approval of the City Attorney, to make changes to this Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement as reasonably required to satisfy the requirements described herein.

JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 32

On behalf of City, City Manager shall have City to make minor amendments to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the granting of extensions of time to Buyer, so long as such actions do not materially change the Agreement or make a commitment of additional funds of City. All other changes, modifications, and amendments shall require the prior approval of City’s governing board.
VIII. (§800) DEFAULTS, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION
A. (§801) Defaults, Right to Cure and Waivers.
Subject to any Enforced Delay, failure or delay by either party to timely perform any covenant or obligations of this Agreement constitutes a default under this Agreement, but only if the party who so fails or delays does not commence to cure, correct or remedy such failure or delay within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written notice specifying such failure or delay from the other party, and does not thereafter prosecute such cure, correction or remedy with diligence to completion. Except as required to protect against further damages, the non-defaulting party may not institute proceedings against the party in default until thirty (30) days after giving such notice if the defaulting party has not complied with the immediately preceding sentence. Failure or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor shall it change the time of default.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, waiver by either party of the performance of any covenant, condition or promise, shall not invalidate this Agreement, nor shall it be considered a waiver of any other covenant, condition, or promise. Waiver by either party of the time for performing any act shall not constitute a waiver of time for performing any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time. The delay or forbearance by either party in exercising any remedy or right as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any rights or remedies or to deprive such party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce any such rights or remedies.
B. (§802) Legal Actions.
1. Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or remedies, and subject to the requirements of Section 801, either party may institute legal action to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Legal actions must be instituted and maintained in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, in any other appropriate court in that county, or in the Federal District Court in the Eastern District of California.
2. Applicable Law and Forum. The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.
3. Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Buyer against City, service of process on City shall be made by personal JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 33
service upon City Manager or City Attorney or in such other manner as may be provided by law. In the event that any legal action is commenced by City against Buyer, service of process on Buyer shall be made in such manner as may be provided by law and shall be valid whether made within or outside of the State of California.
C. (§803) Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either party of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
D. (§804) Specific Performance.
In addition to any other remedies permitted by this Agreement, if either party defaults under this Agreement by failing to perform any of its obligations in this Agreement, each party agrees that except as otherwise provided in Section 411(3) (City cannot obtain specific performance if Buyer fails to acquire the Site for any reason), the other shall be entitled to the judicial remedy of specific performance, and each party agrees (subject to its reserved right to contest whether in fact a default does exist) not to challenge or contest the appropriateness of such remedy. In this regard, Buyer specifically acknowledges that City is entering into this Agreement for the purpose of assisting in the development of the Site for affordable housing and not for the purpose of enabling Buyer to speculate in land.
E. (§805) Right of Reverter.
City shall have the right, at its option, upon one hundred twenty (120) days prior written notice, to reenter and take possession of the Site or any portion thereof with all improvements thereon and to terminate and re-vest in City the estate conveyed to Developer, if after conveyance of the estate and prior to Project Completion Developer (or his successors in interest) shall, subject to Enforced Delay:
1. Fail to commence construction of the improvements as required by this Agreement, if such failure is in violation of the Schedule of Performance, for a period of 90 days after issuance of a building permit, provided that Developer shall not have obtained an extension or postponement to which Developer may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement; or
2. Abandon or substantially suspend construction of the improvements for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after written notice of such abandonment or suspension from City, provided that Developer shall not have obtained an extension of time to which Developer may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement; or
3. Assign or attempt to assign this Agreement, or any rights herein, or Transfer, or suffer any involuntary Transfer of, the Site, or any part thereof, in violation of this Agreement, and such violation shall not be cured within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of receipt of written notice thereof by City to Developer.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 34
The right to re-enter, repossess, terminate, and re-vest shall be subject to and be limited by and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit:
1. Any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interests permitted by this Agreement; or
2. Any rights or interests provided in this Agreement for the protection of the holders of such mortgages, deeds of trust, or other security interests.
Upon the revesting of the Site in the City, the Note shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, City’s right to re-acquire the Site shall be subject to and conditioned upon (A) if the Senior Financing (as defined below) is a secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”), City payment to the holders of such Credit Facility of the then current collateral value of the Site (including all improvements thereon) as reflected on the holder of such Credit Facility books and records pursuant to the Credit Facility loan documents or (B) if the Senior Financing is project specific financing secured by any other first in priority mortgage or deed of trust holder, payment of the full amount of the unpaid debt, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, costs and expenses. In addition to payment of the amounts required to be paid above, to exercise its right to purchase, enter and take possession with respect to the Site (or portion thereof).
Buyer shall thereupon execute and deliver to the City a grant deed transferring to the City (or its designee) all of Buyer’s interest in the Site (or portion thereof) in its AS-IS, WHEREIS CONDITION, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. In the event City exercises its purchase right to repurchase, such exercise shall constitute the City’s sole and exclusive remedy on account of any default of Buyer which gives rise to the City’s purchase option hereunder, except that the foregoing limitation on remedies shall not affect the Buyer’s indemnity obligations under the Sale Agreement.
Upon the re-vesting in City of possession of the Site, or any part thereof, as provided in this Section 805, City shall, pursuant to its responsibilities under state law, use its best efforts to release, or resell or re-grant the Site, as necessary and legally permitted, as the case may be, or any part thereof, as soon and in such manner as City shall find feasible and consistent with the objectives of such law to a qualified and responsible party or parties (as determined by City), who will assume the obligation of making or completing the improvements, or such other improvements in their stead, as shall be satisfactory to City and in accordance with the uses specified for the Site.
In the event of a resale, the proceeds thereof shall be applied as follows:
1. First, to reimburse City on its own behalf or on behalf of City for all costs and expenses incurred by City, including but not limited to, salaries to personnel, legal costs and attorneys’ fees, and all other contractual expenses in connection with the recapture, management, and resale of the Site (but less any income derived by City from the Site or part thereof in connection with such management); all taxes, assessments and water and sewer charges with respect to the Site (or, in the event the Site is exempt from taxation or assessment or such charges during the period of ownership, then such taxes, assessments, or charges, as determined by City, as would have been payable if the Site were not so exempt); any payments made or necessary to be made to discharge or prevent from JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 35
attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations incurred with respect to the making or completion of the agreed improvements or any part thereof on the Site or part thereof; and amounts otherwise owing City by Developer, its successors, or transferees; and
2. Second, to reimburse Developer, its successor or transferee, up to the amount equal to (i) the costs incurred for the development of the Site and for the agreed development expenses and improvements existing on the Site at the time of the re-entry and repossession, less (ii) any gains or income withdrawn or made by Developer from the Site or the improvements thereon.
3. Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be retained by City as its property.
To the extent that the right established in this Section involves a forfeiture, it must be strictly interpreted against City, the party for whose benefit it is created. The rights established in this Section are to be interpreted in light of the fact that City will sell the Site to Developer for development, and not for speculation in undeveloped land.
City’s rights under this Section 805 shall terminate and be of no further force or affect upon the conveyance of the final Affordable Unit (as defined in the Agreement) in accordance with the Regulatory Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement the provisions of this Section 805 shall (i) not apply in any way effect any (1) residence constructed on the Site and transferred to home purchaser in accordance with a Final Subdivision Public Report issued by the California Department of Real Estate and/or (2) any common area conveyed to a homeowners association formed in connection with the development of the site and (ii) shall automatically terminate as to any such residence or common area concurrently with the conveyance thereof to a home purchaser or association, as applicable.
F. (§806) Attorneys’ Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend any action or proceeding in any way arising out of the parties’ agreement to, or performance of, this Agreement, or is made a party to any such action or proceeding by the Escrow Agent or other third party, such that the parties hereto are adversarial, the prevailing party, as between Buyer and City only, in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees from the other. As used herein, the “prevailing party” shall be the party determined as such by a court of law, pursuant to the definition in Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032(a)(4), as the same may be amended or re-codified from time to time. Attorneys’ fees shall include attorneys’ fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs, including expert witness fees, the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST
$ 1,629,000 (“Loan Amount”) _________, 2024 (“Note Date”)
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, OLSON URBAN HOUSING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of the CITY OF CYPRESS, a municipal corporation or order (“Holder” or “City”) at a place designated by Holder, the principal sum of One Million Six Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($1,629,000) (“Note Amount”), plus accrued interest (as specified below), or such lesser amount which shall from time to time be owing hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof.
Pursuant to the Sale Agreement (as defined below), Maker acquired the “Property” (as defined in the Sale Agreement). This Note represents the purchase price for the Property.
This Note is secured by that certain Purchase Money Deed of Trust with Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing of even date herewith made by and among Maker as trustor, Holder as beneficiary, and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company as trustee, and recorded concurrently with the recordation of the Grant Deed (“Trust Deed”).
Reference is also made to the following additional agreements and documents involving Maker and Holder pertaining to the Property:
i. The Grant Deed executed by Holder conveying the Property to Maker which is recorded concurrently with the recordation of the Trust Deed securing this Note and which includes continuing covenants (“Grant Deed”). ii. The Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions executed by Holder (as City) and Maker (as Owner) which was recorded concurrently with the recordation of the Trust Deed securing this Note and which includes continuing covenants (“Regulatory Agreement”). iii. That certain Sale Agreement and Escrow executed by and between Holder (as City) and Maker (as Developer) for the sale of the Property to Maker and its development by Maker (“Sale Agreement”).
The documents listed in subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above are referred to herein collectively as the “City Agreements” and individually as a “City Agreement.” The City Agreements are incorporated herein as though fully set forth. However, the City Agreements are NOT secured by the Trust Deed.
1. Defined Terms. Except as otherwise provided herein, the defined terms used in this Note shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Sale Agreement.
2. Purpose of Loan. This Note is a purchase money carry-back obligation for the purchase price related to the sale of the Property in accordance with the Sale Agreement.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 4
3. Effective Date. This Note shall be effective as of the date that the Trust Deed is recorded in the Official Records of Orange County against the Property (“Effective Date”).
4. Principal Amount. The principal amount of this Note is One Million Six Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($1,629,000) (“Principal”).
5. Interest. Commencing as of the Effective Date, interest shall accrue on the principal at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum simple interest until paid in full.
6. Payments; Forgiveness.
a. Principal Payment. The amount of One Million Six Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($1,629,000), plus all interest accrued thereon, shall be paid to Holder concurrently with the sale of each of the Affordable Units (as defined in the Sale Agreement). Should Maker fail to comply with the terms of the Regulatory Agreement to sell five (5) units to Qualified Purchasers, as described therein, the entire remaining principal balance plus any accrued interest shall be due and payable upon the first to occur of (i) one (1) year from the Project Completion; or (ii) thirty-six (36) months of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 3).
b. Late Charge. If Maker shall fail to make any payment, including the final combined principal and interest installment, within ten (10) days after the date the same is due and payable, a late charge by way of damages shall be immediately due and payable. Maker recognizes that default by Maker in making the payments herein agreed to be paid when due will result in the City incurring additional expense in servicing the loan, in loss to the City of the use of the money due and in frustration to the City in meeting its other financial and loan commitments. Maker agrees that, if for any reason Maker fails to pay the amounts due under this Note when due, the City hereof shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused thereby, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages. Maker therefore agree that a sum equal to five percent (5%) of each payment which becomes delinquent (“Late Charge”) is a reasonable estimate of said damages to the City of this Note, which sum Maker agree to pay on demand. Prior to collecting any late charge hereunder, City shall comply with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2954.5, as such section or any successor section may now or hereafter be in effect.
c. Default Interest Rate. Upon the occurrence of a default under this Note, the interest rate shall thereafter be eight percent (8%) per annum.
7. Prepayment. Maker may prepay this Note, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
8. Cross-Default.
a. City Agreements. A default by Maker under the terms and conditions of any City Agreements shall be a default under this Note.
b. Trust Deed. A default by Maker under the terms and conditions of the Trust Deed is a default under this Note.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 5
9. Acceleration on Default. In the event Maker is in default under this Note, Holder may, at its option, declare this Note and the entire obligations hereby evidenced immediately due and payable as Holder may elect.
10. Acceleration on Transfer or Encumbrance of Property. The Trust Deed contains the following provision: “Subject to the terms of Section 303 of the Sale Agreement, if Trustor sells, contracts to sell, gives an option to purchase, conveys, leases with an option to purchase, encumbers, or alienates the Property, or any interest in it, or, if Trustor sells, contracts to sell, gives an option to purchase, conveys, leases with an option to purchase, encumbers, or alienates the Property, or any interest in it, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of beneficial interests in Trustor equal to fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership interests of that entity outstanding at the date of this Deed of Trust; or if Trustor changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Property; or if title to such Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, then Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in this Deed of Trust.”
11. Collection Costs; Attorneys’ Fees. If, because of a default under this Note, an attorney is engaged by Holder to enforce of defend any provision of this Note, whether or not suit is filed hereon, then Maker shall pay upon demand reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and all costs so incurred by Holder together with interest thereon until paid at the applicable rate of interest payable hereunder, as if such fees and costs had been added to the principal owing hereunder.
12. Waivers by Maker. Maker and any and all endorsers, guarantors and persons liable or to become liable on this Note waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment of this Note.
13. Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Note as to any persons or circumstances shall not render that provision or those provisions unenforceable or invalid as to any other provisions or circumstances, and all provisions hereof, in all other respects, shall remain valid and enforceable.
14. Modifications. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be waived, amended, discharged, modified, changed or terminated orally; nor shall any waiver of any provision hereof be effective except by an instrument in writing signed by Maker and Holder.
15. No Waiver by Holder. No waiver of any breach, default or failure of condition under the terms of this Note shall be implied from any failure of the Holder of this Note to take, or any delay be implied from any failure by the Holder in taking action with respect to such breach, default or failure from any prior waiver of any similar or unrelated breach, default or failure.
16. Usury. Notwithstanding any provision in this Note, the total liability for payment in the nature of interest shall not exceed the limit imposed by applicable laws of the State of California.

1) To keep said property in good condition and repair, not to remove or demolish any building thereon; to complete or restore promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner any building which may be constructed, damaged or destroyed thereon and to pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished therefor, to comply with all laws affecting said property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made thereon; not to commit or permit waste thereof; not to commit, suffer or permit any act upon said property in violation of law; to cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, fumigate, prune and do all other acts which from the character or use of said property may be reasonably necessary, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general.
2) To provide, maintain and deliver to Beneficiary fire insurance satisfactory to and with loss payable to Beneficiary. The amount collected under any fire or other insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at the option of Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorney’s fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed.

Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then Beneficiary of Trustee, but without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may: make or do the same is such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable fees.
5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from the date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and to pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby any amount demanded by the Beneficiary not to exceed the maximum allowed by law at the time when said statement is demanded.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 4
B. It is mutually agreed:
1) That any award in connection with any condemnation for public use of or injury to said property or any part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary who may apply or release such moneys received by him in the same manner and with the same effect as above provided for disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance. 2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive his right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.
3) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed and said note for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of said property; consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon, or join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof. 4) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed and said note to Trustee for cancellation and retention or other disposition as Trustee in its sole discretion may choose and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The Grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
5) That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and City, during the continuance of these Trusts, to collect the rents, issues and profits of said property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior to any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and retain such rents, issues and profits as they become due and payable. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at any time without notice, either in person, by agent, or be a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of said property or any part thereof, in his own name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues, and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.
The entering upon and taking possession of said property, the collecting of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. 6) That upon default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold said property, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed, said note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby.

determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of said property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. 7) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers and duties. Said instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed is recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee. 8) That this Deed applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns. The term Beneficiary shall mean the owner and holder, including pledges, of the note secured hereby, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein. In this Deed, whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural.
9) That Trustee accepts this Trust when this Deed, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Deed of Trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.

5. Mortgagee-in-Possession.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Deed of Trust, any failure or delay in giving such notice or in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor shall it change the time of default, nor shall it deprive either party of its rights to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
In the event of any inconsistency in the terms of this Rider and the provisions set forth in the standard deed of trust recorded in the Recorder’s Office of the County of Orange, the terms of this Rider shall control.

8. Possession Upon Default. Subject to Section 7 above, upon the occurrence of a default, and after delivery of notice and the expiration of all applicable cure periods, Beneficiary may, at its option, without any action on its part being required and without in any way waiving such default, take possession of the Property and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the same, on such terms and for such period of time as Beneficiary may deem proper, and may collect and receive all rents and profits, with full power to make, from time to time, all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto as may seem proper to Beneficiary, and to apply such rents and profits to the payment of (a) the cost of all such alterations, renovations, repairs and replacements, and all costs and expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property, and the management and operation thereof, and keeping the same properly insured; (b) all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, and any other liens which may be prior in lien or payment of the Note, and premiums for insurance, with interest on all such items; and (c) the indebtedness secured hereby, together with all costs and attorney’s fees, in such order or priority as to any of such items as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine, any statute, law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding. Any amounts received by Beneficiary or its agents in the performance of any acts prohibited by the terms of this assignment, including, but not limited to, any amounts received in connection with any cancellation, modification or amendment of any lease prohibited by the terms of this assignment and any rents and profits received by Trustor after the occurrence of a default shall be held by Trustor as trustee for Beneficiary and all such amounts shall be accounted for to Beneficiary and shall not be commingled with other funds of the Trustor. Any person receiving any portion of such trust funds shall receive the same in trust for Beneficiary as if such person had actual or constructive notice that such funds were impressed with a trust in accordance therewith.
JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 5
9. Receiver.

The expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the power herein contained shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
10. Acceleration. Subject to the terms in Section 303 of the Sale Agreement, if Trustor sells, contracts to sell, gives an option to purchase, conveys, leases with an option to purchase, encumbers, or alienates the Property, or any interest in it, or the Sale Agreement, if Trustor sells, contracts to sell, gives an option to purchase, conveys, leases with an option to purchase, encumbers, or alienates the Property, or any interest in it, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of beneficial interests in Trustor equal to fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership interests of that entity outstanding at the date of this Deed of Trust; or if Trustor changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Property; or if title to such Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, then Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in this Deed of Trust.

Such mention in the financing statements is declared to be for the protection of the Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold that JRS\ 30552-0234\ 838846.6 6
notice of Beneficiary’s priority of interest must be filed in the California Commercial Code records to be effective against a particular class of persons, including, but not limited to, the federal government and any subdivision or entity of the federal government. Trustor covenants and agrees to reimburse Beneficiary for any costs incurred in filing such financing statement and any continuation statements.
Upon the occurrence of default hereunder, and after delivery of notice and the expiration of all applicable cure periods, Beneficiary shall have the right to cause any of the Property which is personal property and subject to the security interest of Beneficiary hereunder to be sold at any one or more public or private sales as permitted by applicable law, and Beneficiary shall further have all other rights and remedies, whether at law, in equity, or by statute, as are available to secured creditors under applicable law, specifically including without limitation the right to proceed as to both the real property and the personal property contained within the Property as permitted by Uniform Commercial Code Section 9501(4), including conducting a unified sale thereof.

6. REFINANCE OF RESIDENCE.
6.1 Refinancing of First Deed of Trust. Subject to Section 6.3, Owner may refinance a loan secured by a First Deed of Trust (defined in Section 21.1) encumbering the Residence provided that City has previously reviewed and approved in writing the terms and conditions thereof including, but not limited to, the principal amount of the proposed loan, the interest rate, the terms of repayment, the identity of the maker of the proposed loan, any documentation pertaining to the subordination or enforcement of this Agreement, and the costs and fees associated with the making of the proposed loan. Owner must have received the written approval of the proposed loan by City prior to the date of its closing. In the event of a proposed refinance that includes a principal amount in excess of that needed to repay the loan secured by the First Deed of Trust, any approval by City shall include conditions which, in the sole discretion of City, are warranted in order to insure the continued affordability of the Residence. Any refinancing of a First Deed of Trust that has not been previously approved by City shall constitute a default under this Agreement.
6.2 Junior Liens. Subject to Section 6.3, Owner may enter into a loan secured by a lien junior and subordinate to this Agreement and the City Deed of Trust provided that (i) the proceeds of each loan shall be used solely to pay for repairs or the construction of improvements to the Residence which improvements are consistent with all applicable covenants and restrictions of the Project; (ii) City 01004.0013/946528.2
has previously reviewed and approved the terms and conditions thereof, including, but not limited to, the principal amount of the proposed loan, the interest rate, the terms of repayment, the identity of the maker of the proposed loan, the costs and fees associated with the making of the proposed loan, and the nature and costs of the proposed repairs or the construction of improvements, to be paid with the proceeds thereof; and (iii) Owner shall have received the written approval of the proposed loan by City prior to the date of its closing. Without limiting the foregoing, the proceeds of the proposed loan shall not be used to pay for the construction of improvement of a luxury nature such as ground pools, spas, or interior or exterior decorative items, or improvements with an unreasonable useful life. The failure of Owner to comply fully with the provisions of this subsection when entering into a loan that is secured by a lien junior and subordinate to this Agreement shall constitute a default under this Agreement.
6.3 Notification Prior to Encumbrance or Hypothecation. If Owner desires to refinance a First Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 6.1, or to borrow funds for a new loan to be secured by a junior lien encumbering the Residence the proceeds of which are to be used to pay for repairs or the construction of improvements to the Residence pursuant to Section 6.2, prior written approval of City is required.
Owner must request such approval in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the recordation of a lien securing any such refinancing or loan, Owner shall submit in writing the following information and the applicable documents:
i. Name and address of lender.
ii. Terms of the loan, including, but not limited to, principal, interest rate, term, and loan fees.

City shall have fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of all of such information to approve or disapprove the proposed refinancing or loan. If the City does not issue its written approval within the fifteen (15) business day period, the loan shall be deemed disapproved.
7. NOTICE OF INTENDED TRANSFER. In the event Owner intends to Transfer or vacate the Residence, Owner shall promptly notify City in writing of such intent delivered at least ninety (90) days prior to the actual date of the proposed Transfer or vacation of the Residence (“Transfer Notice”).
8. CITY PURCHASE OPTION. Upon City’s receipt of a Transfer Notice, City shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Residence for the Exercise Price (defined 01004.0013/946528.2
below) (“Option”). City may exercise its Option to purchase the Residence by delivering written notice of exercise to Owner within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Transfer Notice (“Exercise Notice”). Within ninety (90) days of the date of the Exercise Notice, City shall purchase the Residence at the lesser of: (i) the Fair Market Value of the Residence, or (ii) Restricted Sales Price calculated pursuant to Section 12 (“Exercise Price”). City may assign its right to purchase the Residence to an Eligible Purchaser or to a governmental agency or nonprofit organization that is devoted to developing or preserving low income housing. After a Transfer, if the City does not exercise the Option, the Option rights set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and apply to any future Transfer of the Residence during the Term.
9. FAIR MARKET VALUE.
9.1. After the Effective Date, the term “Fair Market Value” shall have the meaning ascribed in Section 1263.320 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as it now exists or may subsequently be amended and shall be determined by a real estate appraiser selected by City. The appraiser shall have been previously approved by the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Housing Administration and at the time of the appraisal shall be on the list of approved single-family housing appraisers. If possible, the appraisal shall be based upon properties sold in the market during the three (3) month period prior to the date of the Transfer Notice. The cost of the appraisal shall be divided equally between City and Owner. In the event that improvements to the Residence have been made by Owner that increase the value of the Residence, or if damage to the Residence has occurred or deferred maintenance while Owner owned the Residence has decreased the value of the Residence, the appraisal shall specifically ascribe a value to these adjustment factors and state what the Fair Market Value of the Residence would be without such adjustments. Nothing in this Section shall preclude Owner and City from establishing the Fair Market Value of the Residence by mutual written agreement in lieu of an appraisal pursuant to this Section.
9.2. If no appraisal has been conducted pursuant to Section 9.1, and it is necessary to determine the Value of Capital Improvements made to the Residence by Owner, such determination shall be made by a real estate appraiser selected by City. The cost of the appraisal shall be divided equally between City and Owner.
10. TRANSFER BY OWNER. If City does not exercise its Option under Section 8, Owner may sell the Residence to a person of Owner’s choosing (“Proposed Purchaser”) subject to the following limitations:
a. Transfer to Eligible Purchaser: If Owner transfers the Residence in a transaction that meets the Eligible Transfer requirements in Section 11, the maximum amount that Owner may receive for the Transfer shall be the Restricted Sales Price and the transfer shall comply with the requirements in Section 11. b. Transfer to Ineligible Purchaser: If Owner transfers the Residence in a transaction that does not meet the Eligible Transfer requirements of Section 11 (“Alternative Sale”), the gross proceeds of such sale less only standard closing costs (such as escrow fees, title fees, etc.) shall be divided between Owner and City pursuant to Section 13. The transferee of an Alternative Sale is referred to herein as an “Ineligible Purchaser”.
11. ELIGIBLE TRANSFER. A Transfer of the Residence that meets the requirements set 01004.0013/946528.2
forth in this Section 11 shall qualify as an approved Transfer to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below) (“Eligible Transfer”).
11.1. Disclosures and Submittals. Owner and the proposed purchaser (“Proposed Purchaser”) shall provide the following information in writing and documents to City:
a. The name, address and telephone number of the Proposed Purchaser. b. Financial information certified by the Proposed Purchaser in a form acceptable to City and any other supporting documentation requested by City which shall include authorization for City to verify the information provided. The financial information shall be used by City to determine the income eligibility of the Proposed Purchaser as a Low Income Household in accordance with HCD Laws/Regulations.
c. The proposed sales contract, escrow instructions and all other related documents that shall set forth the terms of the sale of the Residence. d. A written certification from Owner and the Proposed Purchaser in a form acceptable to City that the sale shall be closed in accordance with the terms of the sales contract and other documents submitted to and approved by City. The certification shall also provide that the Proposed Purchaser or any other party has not paid and will not pay to Owner, and Owner has not received and will not receive from the Proposed Purchaser or any other party, money or other consideration, including personal property, in addition to what is set forth in the sales contract and documents submitted to City. The written certification shall also include a provision that in the event a Transfer is made in violation of the terms of this Agreement or false or misleading statements are made in any documents or certification submitted to City, City shall have the right to file an action at law or in equity to make the parties terminate and/or rescind the sale contract and/or declare the sale void or pursue damages, notwithstanding the fact that the sale may have closed and become final as between Owner and the Proposed Purchaser. In any event, any costs, liabilities or obligations incurred by Owner and the Proposed Purchaser for the return of any monies paid or received in violation hereunder or for any costs and legal expenses, shall be borne by Owner and/or the Proposed Purchaser and they shall hold City and its designee harmless and reimburse their expenses, legal fees and costs for any action they reasonably take in good faith in enforcing the terms of this Agreement.
e. Restrictive Covenants in favor of the City executed and acknowledged by the Proposed Purchaser with substantially the same terms as the terms of this Agreement in a form acceptable to the City (“Restricted Covenants”). City’s approval of the proposed sale shall be effective upon the recordation in the Official Records of both the Restrictive Covenants and a Request for Notice of Default and a Request for Notice of Delinquency (“Requests for Notice”) under the First Deed of Trust in favor of City. City may require the Proposed Purchaser to pay a reasonable fee to City and reimburse it for out of pocket costs to cover the costs of administering its right and obligations under this Agreement (including attorneys' fees).
f. Upon the close of the proposed sale, the escrow officer must provide to City a conformed copy of the recorded Restrictive Covenants and the Requests for Notice, a copy of the final sales contract, settlement statement, escrow 01004.0013/946528.2
instructions, and any other document that City may reasonably request.
11.2. Eligibility of Purchaser. A Proposed Purchaser who meets the following requirements shall be an “Eligible Purchaser”:
a. Each Proposed Purchaser shall certify to City in a form acceptable to City that he or she will occupy the Residence as his or her principal residence; b. Each Proposed Purchaser shall not own any other real property and does not have assets that exceed the total closing costs plus twelve (12) months housing payments, including, principal, interest, taxes and insurance; and c. The combined maximum income for all household members of the Proposed Purchaser qualifies as a Low Income Household in accordance with HCD Laws/Regulations.
12. DETERMINATION OF RESTRICTED SALES PRICE. The maximum sales price (“Restricted Sales Price”) that Owner shall receive for an Eligible Transfer of the Residence shall be the Increased Base Price as adjusted by Section 12.2, but, in no event, shall the sales price exceed the amount specified in Section 50052.5 of the Health & Safety Code and HCD Laws/Regulations.
12.1. Increased Base Price. The “Base Price” of the Residence means the purchase price paid by Owner (which is set forth in Recital D for the initial Owner), inclusive of closing costs actually paid by Owner. The “Increased Base Price” of the Residence means the Base Price, increased by the percentage of increase for a Low Income Household adjusted for family size, for Orange County as published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development as determined by California Health & Safety Code Section 50000 et seq. and applicable regulations adopted from time to time. The increase in household income shall be computed from the date of the original purchase of the Residence by Owner to the date of Transfer Notice. In the event that such income determination is no longer published, or has not been updated for a period of at least eighteen (18) months, City may use or develop such other reasonable method as it may choose in order to determine such increase in income.
12.2. Adjusted Increased Base Price. The Increased Base Price shall also be adjusted for the Value of Capital Improvements. The “Value of Capital Improvements” shall mean the value of substantial structural or permanent fixed improvements that cannot be removed without substantial damage to the Residence or substantial or total loss of value of the improvements. No such valuation shall be made except for improvements (i) made or installed by or under the direction of Owner and permitted by the covenants restricting the Project; (ii) approved in advance by City or its designee; and (iii) with an initial cost of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) or more. The value of such improvements to be taken into account in calculation of the Increased Base Price shall be the increase in value of the Residence by reason of the improvements, and shall be determined by agreement of City and Owner, or, in the event of failure to agree, by appraisal pursuant to Section 9.2.
13. ALTERNATIVE SALE & PAYMENT TO CITY. If a Transfer is not to an Eligible 01004.0013/946528.2
Purchaser (i.e., an Alternative Sale), Owner and City shall each receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale pursuant to this Section.
13.1. Disclosures and Submittals. Owner and Proposed Purchaser shall deliver to City the same information and documents as required by Section 11.1, except that (i) the financial statement of the Proposed Purchaser described in Section
11.2(b), and (ii) the Restrictive Covenants described in Section 11.1(e) and
11.1(f), shall not be required.
13.2. Amount Paid to City. City shall be entitled to receive the lesser of (i) its Initial Subsidy (defined below) plus the City’s proportionate share of appreciation, and (ii) the sales price (provided the sales price is equal to Fair Market Value). The City’s proportionate share of the Total Appreciation (defined in Section 13.4) shall be equal to the ratio of the City’s Initial Subsidy to the Fair Market Value at the time of the initial sale to Owner (“City’s Share of Appreciation”). City’s Initial Subsidy means the Original Fair Market Value (as defined in Recital E) minus the Original Sales Price (as defined in Recital E), plus the Qualified Purchaser Loan and any down payment assistance from City (“Initial Subsidy”).
City’s share of sale proceeds shall be paid to City directly from escrow upon the close of the Alternative Sale. In the event the amount due to City is not paid when due, the amount due to City shall accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum but not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, commencing on the date said amount should have been paid to City until said amount is actually paid to City (“Default Interest”).
13.3. Amount Paid to Owner. Owner shall be entitled to receive the sum of (i) his/her/their down payment, (ii) the Value of Capital Improvements, if any, plus (iii) the Owner’s Share of Appreciation, but less (a) any amounts to pay off the First Lender and any other liens, and (b) closing costs to be paid by Owner. The term “Owner’s Share of Appreciation” shall mean the Total Appreciation of the Residence less the City’s Share of Appreciation.

14. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. UPON A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY OWNER
OR THE CITY DEED OF TRUST, CITY SHALL GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO OWNER SPECIFYING IN REASONABLE DETAIL THE NATURE OF THE BREACH (“BREACH NOTICE”). IF THE BREACH IS NOT CURED TO THE SATISFACTION OF CITY WITHIN (I) TEN (10) DAYS AFTER DELIVERY OF THE BREACH NOTICE FOR FAILURE TO PAY ANY SUMS DUE TO THE CITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; (II) WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER DELIVERY OF THE BREACH NOTICE FOR FAILURE TO CURE ANY NON-MONETARY BREACH, AND (III) WITHIN THIRTY (30)
DAYS AFTER RECORDATION OF A NOTICE OF DEFAULT UNDER ANY SENIOR

In addition to the remedies provided in Section 14, City shall have the option to purchase the Residence for the period thirty (30) days after the Notice of Default has been delivered to Owner and First Lender (“Default Purchase Option”).

15.2. Consummation of Transfer. Not later than ninety (90) days after the City delivers the Default Purchase Exercise Notice to Owner, City shall purchase the Residence at the lesser of: (i) its Fair Market Value; or (ii) its Restricted Sales Price. Owner shall fully cooperate, including execution of all documents reasonably required to consummate the transfer of the Residence in accordance with this Section.
15.3. Consideration. The Default Purchase Option is given in consideration of the economic benefits received by Owner from ownership of the Residence made possible by City requiring the Developer to sell the Residence at less than its fair market value.
16. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY. City shall not be liable or obligated to Owner or any successor-in-interest to owner by reason of its option to purchase under sections 8 and 15, or for any failure to exercise its option to purchase under those sections.
17. FANNIE MAE REQUIREMENTS.
17.1. Insurance Settlements and Condemnation Proceeds. The First Lender shall have a first claim to insurance settlements and condemnation proceeds.
17.2. Termination Upon Foreclosure or Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. The provisions of this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

17.3. Non-Applicability to Private Loans. To the extent Owner obtains a loan from a private individual, the provisions of this Section 17 shall not apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 17 are intended to fully comply with all requirements of Fannie Mae and nothing contained in this 01004.0013/946528.2
Section 17.3 shall be deemed to supersede any requirements of 17.1 or 17.2 as to any Fannie Mae loan.

18. RESTRICTIONS OF FORECLOSURE PROCEEDS. If a creditor acquires title to the residence through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a trustee’s deed upon foreclosure sale, or otherwise, Owner shall not be entitled to the proceeds of sale to the extent that such proceeds otherwise payable to Owner when added to the proceeds paid or credited to the creditor exceed the amount owner would have received by a sale in accordance with section 11. Owner hereby irrevocably instructs the holder of such excess proceeds to pay such proceeds to city as consideration for the regulatory requirements of city allowing the residence to be sold to a household that would not otherwise have been able to afford it.
19. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. This agreement shall be binding upon Owner, his or her heirs, legal representatives, executors, successors in interest and assigns for the term; and shall inure to the benefit of the City and its successors and assigns.

Upon written request from Owner, City shall execute a subordination agreement in a form reasonably required by the First Lender subordinating this Agreement to the lien of a First Deed of Trust provided that the First Lender agrees (i) to provide notice of any default to City concurrently with such notice being provided to Owner, (ii) permit the City to cure any default under the First Deed of Trust (“Subordination Agreement”). Any Subordination Agreement shall only run to the benefit of the First Lender and any subsequent holder of the First Deed of Trust but shall not affect the rights and obligations of City or Owner under this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 15.

provision had never been contained herein.

The amount collected under any fire or other insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at the option of Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorney's fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed.
4) To pay: at least ten days before delinquency all taxes and assessments affecting said property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock; when due, all encumbrances, charges and liens, with interest, on said property or any part thereof, which appear to be prior or superior hereto; all costs, fees and expenses of this Trust.
Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then Beneficiary of Trustee, but without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may: make or do the same is such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable fees. 5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from the date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and to pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby any amount demanded by the Beneficiary not to exceed the maximum allowed by law at the time when said statement is demanded.
B. It is mutually agreed:
1) That any award in connection with any condemnation for public use of or injury to said property or any part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary who may apply or release such moneys received by him in the same manner and with the same effect as above provided for disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance. 2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive his right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay. 3) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this Deed and said note for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of said property; consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon, or join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
4) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed and said note to Trustee for cancellation and retention or other disposition as Trustee in its sole discretion may choose and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The Grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
5) That as additional security, Trustor hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority, during the continuance of these Trusts, to collect the rents, issues and profits of said property, reserving unto Trustor the right, prior to any default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, to collect and retain such rents, issues and profits as they become due and payable.

The entering upon and taking possession of said property, the collecting of such rents, issues and profits and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
6) That upon default by Trustor in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and of election to cause to be sold said property, which 01004.0013/946528.2
4 notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed, said note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby.

Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
7) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers and duties. Said instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed is recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee.
8) That this Deed applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.

In this Deed, whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural. 9) That Trustee accepts this Trust when this Deed, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Deed of Trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.

1 RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST WITH ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
THIS RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST WITH ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS (“Rider”) is attached to and incorporated by reference to that certain Deed of Trust With Assignment of Rents, executed by ________________________ as “Trustor,” in which FIRST AMERICAN TITLE COMPANY is “Trustee,” in favor of the CITY OF CYPRESS, a California municipal corporation, as “Beneficiary.” The Deed of Trust, as hereby modified/supplemented by this Rider, is hereinafter referred to as the “Deed of Trust.” All terms which are not defined in this Deed of Trust shall have the meaning given in the Affordable Housing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree:
1. Obligations Secured. Trustor makes this grant and assignment for the purpose of securing the following obligations:
a. Payment and performance of all obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust; b. Payment of all obligations of Trustor under the Affordable Housing Agreement; c. Payment of all future advances and other obligations of Trustor or any other person, firm, or entity with the approval of Trustor, may agree to pay and/or perform (whether as principal, surety or guarantor) for the benefit of Beneficiary, when the obligation is evidenced by a writing which recites that it is secured by this Deed of Trust; and d. All modifications, extensions and renewals of any of the obligations secured hereby, however evidenced.
2. No Renting or Leasing. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that Trustor shall occupy the Property as Trustor's principal residence in accordance with the Affordable Housing Agreement and shall not rent or lease the Property. Nothing in the Deed of Trust including the assignment of rents shall be interpreted or construed to permit the Trustor to rent or lease the Property.
3. Mortgagee-in-Possession. Neither the assignment of rents set forth in the Deed of Trust nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall be deemed to make Beneficiary a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property, unless Beneficiary, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by agreement with Trustor, or the entering into possession of the Property by such receiver, be deemed to make Beneficiary a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property.
4. Restriction on Transfer of Property; Beneficiary’s Right to Accelerate. In no event shall Borrower transfer any portion of the Property in violation of the Affordable Housing Agreement without the prior express written consent of Beneficiary which consent shall be given by Beneficiary only in the event that Beneficiary determines that the assignee or transferee is an Eligible Purchaser, that the assignee's or transferee's monthly housing payments are at an Affordable Housing Cost, and that the assignee or transferee has expressly assumed the Note and the Affordable Housing Agreement by execution of a written assignment document to be provided by the Beneficiary. Violation of the transfer restrictions can result in the acceleration of Note as provided in the Affordable Housing Agreement.
5. No Cure. In the event Beneficiary collects and receives any rents under the Deed of Trust upon any default hereof, such collection or receipt shall in no way constitute a curing of the default.
6. Waiver. No delay or omission by Beneficiary in exercising any right or power accruing upon the compliance or failure of performance by Trustor hereto under the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall 01004.0013/946528.2
2 impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by Beneficiary of a breach, default or any other failure of performance by Trustor of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements hereof to be performed by Trustor shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions hereof.
7. Default. Any default under the Affordable Housing Agreement shall be deemed a default under this Deed of Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has executed this Rider to be effective for all purposes as of the day and year first set forth above.
