6 MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Villalobos, City Manager
DATE: December 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Comments on Agenda Items, Meeting of December 12, 2023 ITEM 4.A. (Special Items). City Council/ Housing Authority/ Financing Authority Reorganization - Selection of Mayor/Chairperson (City Clerk Presiding).
ITEM 4.B. (Special Items). City Council/ Housing Authority/ Financing Authority Reorganization - Selection of Mayor Pro-Tem/Vice Chairperson (Mayor/Chairperson Presiding).
ITEM 4.C. (Special Items). Recess - Reception in honor of newly appointed Mayor.
ITEM 7.E. (Consent Calendar). The Community Development Department has submitted the monthly report for December 2023 for review.
ITEM 7.F. (Consent Calendar). The Parks and Recreation Department has submitted the monthly report for December 2023 for review.
ITEM 7.G. (Consent Calendar). Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with KHR, Inc. - The Duarte Station Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council in November of 2018. The specific plan guides the development of the area adjacent and north of the Metro A Line Station. One of the design elements of the plan was the proposal for a 33’ wide pedestrian zone (Promenade) along the west side of Highland Avenue north to the 210 Freeway. The promenade will be a mix of walkway, landscape, hardscape, public art and other elements. In 2020, the City hired KHR to develop a concept design for the Highland Promenade. Because KHR did an excellent job on the concept design part of this project, staff requested a proposal from KHR Associates for this project. The proposed contract includes the preparing plans and bid documents so that the project can go out to bid. It also includes construction oversight and working with SCE on the process to underground the two utility poles that are currently on the 1801 Highland property. There will be a $116,800.00 impact to the Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100), with an amendment to the FY 2023-24 adopted budget. This design project is necessary to prepare for construction of the Highland Promenade that is funded in part with a Measure M Grant. This project was included in the FY 2023/24 budget.
ITEM 7.H. (Consent Calendar). Approval of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of an eight foot easement from Highland Industrial Center, LLC - The Highland Promenade is a pedestrian amenity that will consist of a 33’ wide pedestrian plaza amenity on the west side of Highland Avenue from the Metro A Line station to the 210 Freeway. The City received a Measure M Grant to complete the Highland Promenade and pedestrian upgrades on the south side of Duarte Road. The improvements on Duarte Road have already been completed. The Highland Promenade improvements have gone through concept design and are in the final construction plan phase. City Staff have been working with the property owners involved to get the appropriate easements or dedications. The entire Promenade build out requires an additional 25’ of right of way that would create a 33’ pedestrian zone. An appraisal was conducted to determine the fair market value of the additional right of way. The cost of property acquisition for the 1801 Highland Avenue and the 1716 Evergreen Street properties was far above the grant amount. Because of this, Staff and the City Attorney attempted to negotiate alternate solutions. The 1801 Highland property owner has agreed to provide an 8’ wide easement that will allow a portion of the Promenade to be constructed now. The proposed easement acquisition will allow the first phase of the Highland Promenade to proceed which will be a positive improvement for the area. The additional 8’ of right of way will result 7 in an overall 16’ of right of way area from the Metro A Line station to the Metro parking lot. This additional 8’ is for the entire 359.37 foot width of the property. The Metro Parking lot will soon be transitioning into a mixed use development. When that property is developed there will be an entire 33’ of right of way area in this portion of the Promenade. Sidewalk and lighting improvements will extend north to the Freeway.
The property owner is requesting $55,500 to cover the construction of a new sign, the installation of new front setback landscape and attorney fees in return for the proposed easement. Staff believes that this request is reasonable and the benefit will far outweigh the cost. There will be a $55,500 impact to the Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100), design and acquisition costs are a portion of the City’s match for the Measure M Grant that will fund the Highland Promenade.
ITEM 7.I. (Consent Calendar). Housing Successor Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 2022/23 - The Housing Successor Annual Report is a State Requirement for Housing Successors to Redevelopment Agencies. This Report provides the governing body of the Duarte Housing Authority, in its role as Housing Successor for the Duarte Redevelopment Agency, a comprehensive representation of the Housing Successor’s housing assets and activities. The Report is to be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) every December 31st and posted on the City of Duarte’s website. The Report must provide the Housing Successor’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund’s balance, deposits, expenditures, transfers, current projects, acquisitions, obligations, income test, senior housing test, and excess surplus test. The Housing Asset Fund replaced the former Agency’s Lowand Moderate-Income Housing Fund. The Report will be submitted to HCD to comply with California Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(f).
ITEM 9.A. (Public Hearing). CDBG Program Consideration to approve the City of Duarte’s CDBG Proposed Program for the Fiscal Year 2024/25 - Duarte has been a participating city in the Los Angeles County Development Authority’s federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for many years. The City’s annual allocation of federal CDBG funds previously supported the successful construction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant improvements to City Hall, city streets, sidewalks and curb ramps. The mission of the CDBG Program is to principally benefit low and moderate income persons, aid in the prevention of neighborhood deterioration and meet other urgent community development needs. The Los Angeles County Development Authority requires participating cities to submit the proposed use of their annual CDBG allocation by February 1, 2024, including general project descriptions, budgets, and documentation of Council action and proof of public meeting notification. For purposes of budgeting, the estimated Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 CDBG allocation will be approximately $131,200. The City’s final CDBG allocation will be announced by LACDA in spring 2024, and may vary within two to five percent, depending upon final federal budget appropriations. It is recommended that the City use $131,200 in FY 2024-2025 CDBG funds to initiate a new CDBG project, entitled, “Duarte Americans with Disabilities Act-Compliant Curb Ramps”. Approximately 10-15 ADA-Compliant Curb Ramps are expected to be installed throughout the City.
ITEM 10.A. (Business Item). Audited Financial Statements for Fiscal Year 2022/23 - After the end of each fiscal year, an independent accounting firm is used to conduct a financial audit of the City of Duarte, the Housing Authority and the Successor Agency of the former Redevelopment Agency (dissolved April 2022). Moss Levy and Hartzheim conducted our independent audit for fiscal year 2022/23. The auditor found the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and to fairly present the financial position of the City. We had one deficiency related to the recognition of lease receivables. The auditor recommended that the City formalize a policy over lease receivable recognition to ensure they are consistently recorded in accordance with GAAP. The original 2022/23 General Fund budget was adopted in June 2022 with a projected surplus of $1,258,600. At the mid-year review in February 2023, we projected that fiscal year 2022/23 would end with a surplus of $2.4 million. The City’s General Fund actually ended the fiscal year with a surplus of $3.1 million, which translates into $21.7 million in unrestricted cash, $4.9 million for special projects assigned 8 by the City Council, $2 million restricted specifically for improvements in the Town Center Specific Plan area, $240,000 for public art, $159,000 for pension costs, $94,000 for storm drain improvements, and $59,000 for vehicle replacement. Please note that staff will be bringing the 2023/24 midyear budget before the City Council in February 2024. We will discuss and analyze the fund balance more at that time, because the 2022/23 estimated fund balance was used when the City Council adopted the budget in June and now the actual ending fund balance will serve as a part of the 2023/24 mid-year analysis.
ITEM 10.B. (Business Item). Professional Services Agreement with Magellan Advisors, LLC for consulting services for the Broadband Access and Connectivity Infrastructure Assessment - Through advocacy from Assemblymember Blanca Rubio’s Office, the City was awarded $200,000 from the State of California Department of Technology to conduct an assessment to better understand where and why there are broadband connectivity gaps as well as understand how Duarte can best meet the growing digital demands of our community’s residents and businesses. To address these tasks, it is recommended that Magellan conduct a Broadband Access and Connectivity Infrastructure Assessment. Magellan has extensive experience conducting similar assessments throughout Southern California. Moreover, Magellan is currently working with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (“SGVCOG”) to conduct its own regional assessment. The study will develop a gap analysis, identifying key issues and barriers related to ensuring that Duarte has reliable, equitable, and affordable broadband access as well as include recommendations to fill those gaps. In addition to developing a gap analysis, Magellan will also review City policies and recommend what policies can be made to align with current best practices to increase broadband infrastructure. It is anticipated that the work will be completed in approximately eight months after the kickoff meeting. The schedule assumes high engagement when surveying the community during the needs assessment portion of the study. If approved, preparation of this study would cost $199,695. $200,000 was included in the FY 2023-24 budget for the preparation of this study (Account No. 1010- 7965). The entire expense will be covered by funds awarded from the State Department of Technology.
ITEM 10.C. (Business Item). Approval of Budget Amendment to add three Maintenance Technician positions and remove two Senior Maintenance Technician positions - Currently, there are five budgeted positions in the Field Services division; one Field Services Manager and four Senior Maintenance Technicians. This has been the arrangement since 2014 when there were six budgeted positions. At that time, a Field Services Supervisor position was eliminated. Within the past two months, the City has lost two of the four Senior Maintenance Technicians who have left for similar positions in other cities. The recent recruitment was for both Senior Maintenance Technician and Maintenance Technician. There were no acceptable candidates for the Senior Maintenance Technician position but there were several good candidates for the Maintenance Technician position. This provided the opportunity to rethink the structure of the Field Services crew by hiring at the entry level, instead of the senior level positions and adding an additional position. The proposed additional crew position will increase efficiency in addressing workload issues and it will create a better balance with on-call assignments. The Maintenance Technician is an entry level position, so under this proposed staffing model, future advancement to Senior Maintenance Technician is anticipated and will support the City’s goal of encouraging professional development and succession planning. Any budget allocations necessary for this professional growth and advancement will be addressed as needed in future budgets. There will be an increase of $25,000 to the 2023-24 General Fund Budget to add the additional staff position. This impact will increase over time with salary step increases. The annual impact is estimated at $49,000.
ITEM 10.D. (Business Item). Professional Services Agreement with Aquatic Design Group, Inc. for Design Services for the Fitness Center Pool Deck Renovation - On September 12, 2023, the City Council accepted and commented on the completed Fitness Center and Swimming Pools Assessment, conducted by LPA and Aquatic Design Group, Inc. Based on that assessment, which details the swimming pools, deck area, and mechanical equipment’s existing conditions, code violations, deficiencies, and proposed improvements for restoration; the Council directed City staff to take the next steps to immediately repair 9 the fatigued deck in order to reopen the pools and deck for safe public use. Beyond the immediate repairs, the Council also requested that City staff start the process of obtaining contracted design services to address the larger infrastructure items identified in the assessment. On October 25, 2023, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Fitness Center Pool Deck Renovation Design Services. The response deadline closed on November 7, and although there were several inquiries from various firms, the City only received one response, from Aquatic Design Group, Inc.. Although the recently awarded work for the necessary deck repairs will be completed by the first full week in February of 2024 and comes with a warranty of five (5) years, staff is of the opinion that this is the time to prioritize City facilities infrastructure and take the necessary planning steps to bring the Fitness Center’s aquatic related amenities up to current code and to continue to meet stakeholder demand for high-quality aquatic recreational amenities. Moreover, this would ensure the City has a shovel ready infrastructure project that could begin construction in late 2024 or early 2025 if federal and/or state grant funding becomes available.
ITEM 10.E. (Business Item). Intergovernmental Appointments - Each year, the City Council appoints individual Councilmembers to serve as either a Delegate, Representative, Director or Alternate to numerous intergovernmental organizations. The San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District has notified the City that the term held by Councilmember Finlay, as the City of Duarte representative on the Board of Trustees will end on December 31, 2023. The City Council will need to either reappoint Councilmember Finlay or select another Councilmember for the next term of office which may be two or four years, at the discretion of the City Council prior to January 9, 2024. The City Council may also choose to change the City’s Representative/Delegate and/or Alternate to any other intergovernmental organization for which a current vacancy does not exist.

PROJECT/PROGRAM STATUS
IN PROCESS
BP Charging Station BP is proposing to construct a new style of charging station on the property that is on the northeast corner of Huntington Drive and Bradbourne. The plan is for several charging spaces and a lounge area for customers that are waiting for their vehicles to charge. This item requires a conditional use permit and is scheduled for final Planning Commission hearing in December.
Jersey Mikes Jersey Mikes recently pulled permits for a new store in The Huntington, adjacent to the Domino's space. This will fill up the main commercial space in that mixed use project and leave only the live work space available.
Safe Routes to Schools
Study
Staff is working with SCAG on a Safe Route to Schools Study.
KOA, a traffic engineering firm is doing this study for SCAG. This is a grant based study and is being done at no cost to the City.
The consultant has started the public outreach and is in the process of holding several meetings at various school sites to generate information. Final plan delivery to Council has been rescheduled to February 2024. This project by SCAG is only to develop a plan. There is no funding included for capital improvements. If the plan is approved, desired capital projects can be added to the CIP.
Recreation Trail
Upgrades
Duarte was awarded a $1.6 million federal appropriation for accessibility and quality of life upgrades to the Donald and Bernice Watson Recreation Trail. This funding was included in the 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, thanks to
Congresswoman Napolitano. We are still waiting to receive the funds as the State manages the process for how funds will be distributed, a process that typically takes several months. In the next few months, Staff is working on finalizing paving details, looking to hire a landscape consultant to coordinate a final bid set for Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council review. The current schedule is for project bid in June 2024.
Andres Duarte School This project is the development of the Andres Duarte School site with a residential development. The School District has selected a developer and is working on the final details of the 47 2
PROJECT/PROGRAM STATUS
agreement. The selected team is a partnership of: Adept Development, MW Investments Group and SGV Property Fund.
The Andres Duarte school site property isabout 13 acres. The preliminary plan, acted on by DUSD, includes 173 units and preserves a portion of Otis Gordon Park. But there is no guarantee to this build out. The property has a general plan and zoning of Public Facilities so any development of the property will require City Council approval.
Staff met with the Developer team and explained the City process. This project will require an EIR, so in the coming weeks, that selection process will be progressing. Staff will bring the EIR consultant selection item for Council Action in January or February.
As the process progresses, Staff will keep the Council informed.
Solana at Duarte Station
1750 Fasana Road
MBK is building Solana, a 292-unit apartment. This building will also be the location of the “Duarte Station” sign that will be an icon, located on the roof of the building. The revised
completion date is 2025.
San Gabriel Valley
Regional Housing Trust
Staff is working with the San Gabriel Valley COG and the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust on a possible subsidized housing development in the City. The idea would be to develop one of the affordable housing sites listed in the most recent Housing Element with first priority being the City-owned property at 2400 Huntington and properties to the east.
SCVGOG and SGVRHT have access to funding that assists in generating interest from developers.
Metro Parking Lot Staff has been working with Metro for the past several years on the development of the Metro parking lot as part of the Duarte Station Specific Plan. The intent is to replace the Metro parking into a parking structure and construct workforce housing along Fasana Road at Highland Avenue. Metro is in the final stages of developer selection. Over the next few months, they will be developing the sale agreement. There is currently no schedule for development.
Town Center North Staff has been meeting with property owners to develop a proposal for a complete center rehabilitation that includes new, upgraded facades, an upgraded parking lot and related
improvements. Owners have shown positive interest.
Staff is working, mostly with the new owners, to develop options for moving forward.
Property owners are cooperating with the City on Code
Enforcement issues.
48 3
PROJECT/PROGRAM STATUS
The City has hired an Architect and Engineer to develop a detailed concept plan for façade and parking lot upgrades to the center.
Highland Promenade This project is funded by a Measure M Grant. It is for an expanded right of way along the west side of Highland Ave. that would have a park-like pedestrian walkway. Staff is negotiating with the property owner for the additional right of way. This has been one of the major hold up issues on the project, but recently progress has been made. Staff discussed the right of way issue with Metro for its piece recently and the details will be resolved when the site development moves forward. After agreements for right of way are resolved, the City will need to hire the Engineer to complete working drawings. The projected construction date is Fall 2024; however, the portion adjacent to the Metro parking lot may be constructed with the
development on that property.
Evergreen Pedestrian
Improvements
This project includes pedestrian sidewalk and lighting along the north side of Evergreen Street and a widening of the sidewalk on the west side of Highland Avenue under the 210 freeway underpass. This project is funded through an ATP cycle 4 grant.
The contract has been awarded and construction should start in January 2024. A 6-8 month construction period is typical.
DEVELOPMENT
Wyndham Hawthorn
Suites Hotel (1230
Huntington Drive)
This is a two-phase project with a total of 178 rooms with 72 in the first phase. The first plan check was returned to the Architect in early May 2022. The second plan check was
resubmitted for review in March 2023. Several clarifications and minor revisions were needed. The third plan check has been completed. There are a few minor revisions required but plans are nearing completion. Staff will continue to monitor and encourage progress.
City of Hope

Consideration of an Engineering and Landscape Design Contract with KHR Associates for Bid Documents and Final Engineering Plans and Construction Administration of the Highland Promenade and Authorization of a $116,800 Budget Amendment
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with KHR Associates for Engineering and Bid Document Design Services and construction administration of the Highland Promenade in the amount of $116,800.00.

2 1801 Highland: The property owner has agreed to provide an additional 8’ of right of way as an easement to the City. This will allow an expanded sidewalk with enhancements. It will also allow the two overhead utility poles to be undergrounded. When this property is redeveloped in the future, the property owner will be responsible for the build out of the additional 17 feet. The property owner has agreed to provide the easement in return for the City paying $55,500 for sign replacement, front setback landscaping and attorney fees. 1750 Fasana Road: MBK is currently building Solana, a 292 unit apartment building on the 1750 property. A portion of that property, a 20 foot wide piece, extends to Highland Avenue. As part of the approval, MBK dedicated the additional 25 feet. However, this area is part of the parking lot for the 1801 Highland building. So the Promenade buildout on this property will be the same as on the 1801 Highland property, an additional 8 feet. When this parking lot is redeveloped in the future, the property owner will be responsible for the build out of the additional 17 feet.
Metro Parking Lot: The entire 33’ Highland Promenade will be built out on the Metro property, however, that build out will be part of a future phase. Currently, Metro is in the RFP process to select a developer to build an apartment development on the site. Metro has agreed to require the developer to set the building back to the 33’ line and to participate in construction of the Highland Promenade. This portion of the Promenade will be the centerpiece. There will be public art and amenities in addition to the expanded pedestrian area.
1716 Evergreen Street: To expand the current 8’ sidewalk area to 33’ would require significant grading and drainage improvements and would also require the replacement of 21 parking spaces.
Based on a recent property appraisal, the acquisition of the property and construction is cost prohibitive at this time. The first phase improvement would include upgrade to the existing sidewalk and landscape. When this property is redeveloped in the future, the property owner will be responsible for the build out of the additional 17 feet.
The City received a Measure M Grant that will pay for the majority of the proposed improvements.
Presently, the plan is to put this project out for bid in 2024. These improvements are an essential part of the City’s first mile-last mile efforts to improve circulation near transit. The proposed contract will address the final design necessary to prepare plans for the bidding process.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Because KHR did an excellent job on the concept design part of this project, staff requested a proposal from KHR Associates (KHR) for this project. In addition to the concept design for the Highland Promenade, the firm was the engineer of record for MBK’s Esperanza and Solana buildings at Duarte Station.
The proposed contract includes the preparing plans and bid documents so that the project can go out to bid. It also includes construction oversight and working with SCE on the process to underground the two utility poles that are currently on the 1801 Highland property.
This project will also need some additional work that will need to be completed by a landscape architect. Staff plans to bring that contract back for City Council action in the next few months. 56 3
This promenade area is intended to transform the pedestrian experience in the area and will be an integral part of the development of the Duarte Station area.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Professional Services Agreement with KHR Associates for Engineering and Bid Document Design Services and construction administration of the Highland Promenade in the amount of $116,800.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a $116,800.00 impact to the Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100), with the amendment to the FY 2023-24 adopted budget. This design project is necessary to prepare for construction of the Highland Promenade that is funded in part with a Measure M Grant. This project was included in the 2023-2024 budget.

3. SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE
A. In compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, Consultant shall provide services more particularly described in the “Scope of Services,” which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as Exhibit A.

8. INDEMNIFICATION
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, except as set forth in subparagraph (B), Consultant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to City), and hold harmless City and City Personnel from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, claims, demands, judgments, attorneys’ fees, costs, damages, losses, penalties, obligations, expenses, or liabilities (“Claims”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person or entity arising out of, or pertaining to, Consultant’s negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct, whether or not there is concurrent active or passive negligence on the part of City and/or any City Personnel, but excluding any Claims arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City or any City Personnel. Consultant shall defend any action or actions filed in connection with any such claims or liabilities, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith. Consultant shall promptly pay any judgment rendered against City or any City Personnel for any such claims or liabilities. In the event City and/or any City Personnel is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted for any such Claims arising out of or in connection with the Work being performed or Services being provided under this Agreement, Consultant shall pay to City any and all costs and expenses incurred by City or City Personnel in such action or proceeding, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees. Consultant’s duty to defend shall consist of reimbursement of defense costs incurred by City in direct proportion to the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. Consultant’s percentage of fault shall be determined, as applicable, by a court of law, jury, or arbitrator. In the event any loss, liability, or damage is incurred by way of settlement or resolution without a court, jury, or arbitrator having made a determination of Consultant’s percentage of fault, the Parties agree to mediation with a neutral third-party to determine Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault for purposes of determining the amount of indemnity and defense cost requirement owed to City.
B. The provisions of this subparagraph (B) apply only if Consultant is a “design professional” within the meaning of California Civil Code section 2782.8(c). If Consultant is a “design professional,” within the meaning of Section 2782.8(c), then notwithstanding subparagraph (A), to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, California Civil Code sections 2782 and 2782.6), Consultant shall defend (with legal counsel acceptable to City), indemnify, and hold harmless City and City Personnel from and against any Claim that arises out of, pertains to, or relates to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant, any sub-consultant, subcontractor, or any other person directly or indirectly employed by them, or any person that any of them control, arising out of Consultant’s performance of any task or Service for or on behalf of City under this Agreement.
Such obligations to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify City or any City Personnel, shall not apply to the extent that such Claims are caused, in part, by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City or City Personnel. Consultant’s cost to defend City and/or City Personnel against any such Claim shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault with respect to that Claim; however, pursuant to California Civil Code section 2782.8(a), in the event that one or more of the defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, Consultant shall meet and confer with City (and, if applicable, other parties) regarding any unpaid defense costs. To the extent Consultant has a duty to indemnify City or any City Personnel under this subparagraph (B), Consultant shall be responsible for all incidental and consequential damages resulting directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Consultant’s negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct. 62 2671/012225-0101
18679307.4 a11/27/23 -6-
C. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether arising out of this Agreement or otherwise) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s negligent acts, errors, omissions, or willful misconduct, in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. City in its sole and absolute discretion, may withhold any payment due to Consultant, without liability for interest, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or withhold shall not act as a waiver of Consultant’s obligation to pay City any sums Consultant owes City.
9. INSURANCE
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification obligations of City as set forth in this Agreement, and prior to the commencement of Work, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain, at its own expense, during the entire term of this Agreement including any extension thereof, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described in Exhibit B and in a form satisfactory to City.

Certificates are to reflect that the insurer will provide thirty (30) days’ written notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. In the event any of said policies of insurance are reduced in limits or cancelled for any reason, Consultant shall, prior to the cancellation date, submit new evidence of insurance.
B. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar law will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials, and agents.
C. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

Mr. Craig Hensley, Community Development Director
City of Duarte

Duarte, California 91010
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO PREPARE SURVEYING, DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
PLANS FOR THE HIGHLAND AVENUE PROMENADE IMPROVEMENTS,
IN THE CITY OF DUARTE, CALIFORNIA (SENT VIA E-MAIL)
Dear Mr. Hensley:
Transmitted herein is a proposal to the City of Duarte (City), Duarte, California, by KHR Associates, Irvine, California, to provide surveying, design and construction plans for the Highland Avenue Promenade improvements along the west side of Highland Avenue, generally between Evergreen Street and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) “A” (or “Blue”, formerly “Gold”) Line right of way. The improvements are to be constructed in phases within existing and proposal public rights of way, as determined by the City.
Civil Engineering Scope of Services
The following Scope of Work is based on KHR Associates’ understanding of the project goal and objectives; the limits of design and construction; physical, budgetary, and legal constraints; and other considerations.
Task 1 – New Topographic Survey
In this initial task, a new topographic survey will be conducted of the reach of Highland Avenue from Evergreen Street to the MTA “A” Line tracks (both sides). The topographic survey will identify and measure existing horizontal and vertical (i.e., elevation) distances of physical features within and contiguous to the project limits, including sidewalks; curbs, gutters and flowlines; utility poles, cabinets, pullboxes, vaults, manholes, valve covers, and cleanouts; catch basins and other drainage inlets; street trees; lighting fixtures; and other appurtenances. The survey will be tied to the nearest benchmark.
The fixed fee for this task is $5,200.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 2 – Utility Infrastructure Research
In this task, KHR Associates will contact the appropriate utility companies (e.g., Southern California Edison, Cal American Water, The Gas Company, Frontier and 70 Mr. Craig Hensley
September 29, 2020
Charter Communications, etc.) to gather and review available utility infrastructure plans associated with the areas along Highland Avenue to be improved. Of particular interest will be utilities overhead on power poles, and underneath the existing sidewalks, as well as those servicing adjacent private properties. Utilities that can be plotted will be added to Engineering CADD Base (see Task 3).
The fixed fee for this task is $5,000.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 3 – Engineering CADD Base
In this task, an engineering CADD base will be created, incorporating topographic data collected in Task 1, existing utility research conducted in Tasks 1 and 2, and previous work done by KHR Associates on the MBK Rental Living Esperanza and Solana apartment sites, and the MTA parking lot. The CADD base file will be used for subsequent use by KHR Associates, the Project Landscape Architect, and others to produce a uniform set of Highland Promenade improvement plans. As design work proceeds, and new information is discovered, the CADD base will be periodically updated and distributed to members of the Project Team.
The fixed fee for this task is $7,400.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 4 – Demolition Plan
In this task, a multi-phase demolition plan will be prepared to clear the project area(s) of unnecessary curb, gutter, fencing, pavement, vegetation, utilities, and appurtenances.
Items to be relocated, salvaged, or protected in place will be noted for each phase of construction. It is anticipated that each block may have a separate demolition plan. Notes and details will be provided, along with coordination contacts at the various utility companies.
The fixed fee for this task is $6,000.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 5 – Promenade Precise Grading & Drainage Plan
In this task, working in conjunction with the landscape architect, KHR Associates will prepare a grading and drainage plan to accommodate the proposed promenade improvements, including street improvements. The grading and drainage plan will show the limits to be graded, contoured, paved, landscaped and/or otherwise improved for surface and sub-surface drainage; at-grade and raised landscape planters and street furniture (as specified by the landscape architect); walkways, curbs, and walls; pedestrian and street lighting; possible passenger drop-off areas along Highland Avenue; and street resurfacing/repaving as determined by the City; and new traffic signing and striping. The improvement plans will show compliance with current ADA standards for all walkways, driveway and street crossings, off-street parking spaces, and other access points. 71 Mr. Craig Hensley
September 29, 2020
Working with the landscape architect, and others, optimal precise grades will be determined at key spots along and within the promenade.
It is anticipated that each block/property along Highland Avenue may have a separate grading and drainage plan to correspond to City-specified phases. All plans will be prepared on City title block and include a title sheet, applicable general and construction notes, construction details, and references to City standard drawings. Final earthwork (i.e., cut/fill, and import/export) and other quantities will be calculated and shown on the plans.
The fixed fee for this task is $35,800.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 6 – Erosion Control Plan
In this task, a sediment and erosion control plan for implementation during construction of the proposed promenade improvements will be prepared in accordance with the criteria established by the City. It is anticipated that each block may have a separate grading and drainage plan. This plan will specify the placement of site-specific BMP devices to mitigate stormwater pollution and runoff associated with construction activities. The plan will indicate the location, type, and method of placement of gravel bags, diverters, silt fencing, temporary drainage facilities, and other erosion and sediment controls for use during construction, as well as appropriate notes and details.
The fixed fee for this task is $7,200.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 7 – Plans, Specifications, & Estimates Package
In this task, KHR Associates will work with the landscape architect and other members of the Project Team to assemble a Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) package that complies with the City of Duarte standards for public works projects. The PS&E package will be suitable for distribution to general contractors who express an interest, and are qualified, to provide a competitive bid to the City for the Highland Avenue Promenade improvements project. It is anticipated that a separate PS&E for each construction phase (i.e., by block) may be required.
The fixed fee for this task is $5,200.00, excluding reimbursable expenses.
Task 8 – Dedications, Easements, Exhibits & Legal Descriptions In this task, KHR Associates will prepare and submit for agency approval separate legal descriptions, closure calculations, and exhibits for new right of way dedications, and easements, as needed; quitclaims, vacations, reciprocal access agreements and other documents requiring a civil engineer’s stamp and/or recordation. 72 Mr. Craig Hensley
September 29, 2020
Due to the uncertain nature of this task, a budget allowance $10,000.00 has been established. The City will be billed only for those hours actually expended.
Task 9 – Coordination Meetings
As part of the overall scope of work, KHR Associates will coordinate its work efforts with the City, the project landscape architect, and other members of the professional design team to ensure that the design of civil engineering improvements will meet the needs of the project, while satisfying the requirements of the City and other governing jurisdictions.
KHR Associates will attend coordination meetings and other meetings only as requested by the City.
Due to the uncertain nature of this task, a time and materials budget of $20,000.00 has been established, and the City will only be billed for those hours actually expended and expenses actually incurred.
Optional Task 10 – Construction Support Services
Upon conclusion of the design phase of work, in this task, KHR Associates will provide construction support services to the City’s designated Construction Manager.
Construction support services include, but are not limited to, assisting the City in the bid review and award process; responding to requests for information (RFIs); providing bulletins when necessary to clarify details or notes that may be seem conflicting or confusing; attending the bid opening, pre-construction meeting, and other field meetings that may be scheduled by the Construction Manager and/or inspectors. KHR Associates will also provide line and grade certifications, as needed, and work with the Construction Manager to ensure quality control; review any extras requested by the general contractor; maintain on-schedule performance by the general contractor; and ensure proper project close-out by all parties.
Due to the unknown number of hours construction support services may ultimately entail, KHR Associates proposes an initial time and materials fee not-to-exceed $15,000.00.
KHR Associates’ 2023 Schedule of Standard Rates will apply, and the City will only be invoiced for hours expended and/or reimbursable expenses incurred. All work will be undertaken in this task at the specific request of the City’s Construction Manager.

Consideration of an Acquisition of an 8' Easement from Highland Industrial Center LLC, property owner of 1801 Highland Avenue for the Highland Promenade, and Approval of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale and a budget amendment to Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100) for $55,500 for the Acquisition
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement for purchase and sale and a budget amendment for $55,500 for the acquisition to Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100).

2 1801 Highland: The property owner has agreed to provide an additional 8’ of right of way as an easement to the City. This will allow a first phase with an expanded sidewalk with enhancements.
It will also allow the two overhead utility poles to be undergrounded. When this property is redeveloped in the future, the property owner will be responsible for the build out of the additional 17 feet.
1750 Fasana Road: MBK is currently building Solana, a 292 unit apartment building on the 1750 property. A portion of that property, a 20 foot wide piece extends to Highland Avenue. As part of the approval, MBK dedicated the additional 25 feet. However, this area is part of the parking lot for the 1801 Highland building. So the Promenade buildout on this property will be the same as on the 1801 Highland property, an additional 8 feet. When this parking lot is redeveloped in the future, the building will be responsible for the build out of the additional 17 feet.
Metro Parking Lot: The entire 33’ Highland Promenade will be built out on the Metro property, however, that build out will be part of a future phase. Currently, Metro is in the RFP process to select a developer to building an apartment development on the site. Metro has agreed to require the developer to set the building back to the 33’ line and to participate in construction of the Highland Promenade. This portion of the Promenade will be the centerpiece. There will be public art and amenities in addition to the expanded pedestrian area. 1716 Evergreen Street: To expand the current 8’ sidewalk area to 33’ would require significant grading and drainage improvements and would also require the replacement of 21 parking spaces.
Based on a recent property appraisal, the acquisition of the property and construction is cost prohibitive at this time. The first phase improvement would include upgrade to the existing sidewalk and landscape. When this property is redeveloped in the future, the property owner will be responsible for the build out of the additional 17 feet.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed easement acquisition will allow the first phase of the Highland Promenade to proceed which will be a positive improvement for the area. The additional 8’ of right of way will result in an overall 16’ of right of way area from the Metro A Line station to the Metro parking lot. This additional 8’ is for the entire 359.37 foot width of the property. The Metro Parking lot will soon be transitioning into a mixed use development. When that property is developed there will be an entire 33’ of right of way area in this portion of the Promenade. Sidewalk and lighting improvements will extend north to the Freeway.
The Highland Promenade is a vital part of public improvements in this portion of the City. Other improvements that are in process include a new sidewalk and pedestrian lighting on the north side of Evergreen Street; improvement to the pedestrian access between Brightside Street and Buena Vista Street. Similar improvements have been completed in the past few years along Duarte Road.
The property owner is requesting $55,500 to cover the construction of a new sign, the installation of new front setback landscape and attorney fees in return for the proposed easement. Staff believes that this request is reasonable and the benefit will far outweigh the cost. 81 3
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the “Agreement for Purchase and Sale” and a budget amendment for $55,500 for the acquisition to Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100).
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a $55,500 impact to the Gas Tax Fund (2205-8100), design and acquisition cost are a portion of the City’s match for the Measure M Grant that will fund the Highland Promenade.

3 and regulations. Buyer and Seller agree that the Easement area will be included in any setback, floor area ratio, or density calculation for any future redevelopment on the Larger Parcel.
3. POSSESSION DURING ESCROW.
3.1 Construction Activities. Commencing upon the Opening of Escrow and continuing thereafter until the Close of Escrow, and in addition to any rights granted hereunder for Buyer’s Due Diligence, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its employees, representatives, agents and contractors, a right of entry on, over and across and through the Easement for purposes of performing pre-construction review and other related activities incidental thereto with respect to the Project. All work performed by Buyer shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Buyer’s right of entry set forth herein shall be equivalent to the right of prejudgment possession under California Civil Code Section 1255.401, et seq. and Buyer shall be afforded all of the rights and privileges under Section 1255.401, et seq. as if Buyer had secured an Order for Prejudgment Possession allowing Buyer to take possession of the Easement.
3.2 Indemnity. Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller (or its employees, consultants, contractors, agents or representatives), Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its employees, officers, partners, agents, and representatives from and against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, penalties, loss, liability, expenses, damages, and costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or in any way relating to (i) any liens or encumbrances caused by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer’s entry onto, work performed on, or use of the Easement prior to the Close of Escrow pursuant to the right of entry granted pursuant to this Section 3.
4. ESCROW.
4.1 Opening of Escrow. Closing of the sale of the Easement shall take place through an escrow (“Escrow”) to be established within three (3) business days after the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, with Chicago Title Company (“Escrow Holder”) at its office located at 725 South Figueroa St. Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA 90017, Jordan Curiel, [email protected], 213-488-4371. The opening of the Escrow (the “Opening of Escrow”) shall be deemed to be the date that a fully executed copy of this Agreement is delivered to the Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder is instructed to notify Buyer and Seller in writing of the date of the Opening of Escrow.
4.2 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement, once deposited in Escrow together with the General Provisions, as attached hereto as Exhibit “G”, shall constitute the joint escrow instructions of Buyer and Seller to Escrow Holder. Additionally, if Escrow Holder so requires, Buyer and Seller agree to execute the form of escrow instructions that Escrow Holder customarily requires in real property escrows administered by it. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between Escrow Holder’s standard instructions or the General Provisions and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and be controlling.
5. INSPECTION AND REVIEW.
5.1 Title Matters. Buyer shall, within ten (10) days of the approval of this Agreement by all parties, obtain a preliminary title report prepared by Chicago Title Company, 725 South 88 159/022390-0048
1134403.01 a11/21/23
4 Figueroa St., Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA 90017, Patricia Schlageck, [email protected], 213-488-4300 (“Title Company”) describing the state of title of the Larger Parcel together with copies of all underlying documents (collectively, the “Preliminary Title Report”). Buyer may, at its sole cost and expense, obtain a current survey of the Easement or Larger Parcel (the “Survey”).
Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer may have to title exceptions contained in the Preliminary Title Report or matters shown on the Survey (if Buyer has obtained) no later than the date which is fifteen (15) business days of its receipt of the Preliminary Title Report (“Buyer’s Objection Notice”), or fifteen (15) days after the approval of this Agreement by all parties, whichever is later. Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the matters set forth in the Preliminary Title Report (and the Survey, if applicable) may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Except as to any monetary liens or encumbrances, which shall be deemed disapproved unless Buyer specifically approves them in writing, Buyer’s failure to provide Seller with a Buyer’s Objection Notice within such period shall constitute Buyer’s approval of all exceptions to title shown on the Preliminary Title Report. If Buyer disapproves or conditionally approves any of the foregoing matters, or such matters are deemed disapproved, Seller may, within five (5) business days after its receipt of Buyer’s Objection Notice, elect to eliminate to Buyer’s sole satisfaction such disapproved or conditionally approved matters. Within such five (5) business day period, Seller shall give Buyer written notice (which shall hereinafter be referred to as “Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved or conditionally approved matters, if any, which Seller covenants and agrees to eliminate from the Preliminary Title Report as exceptions to title to the Easement to Buyer’s satisfaction by the Closing Date. If Seller does not elect in Seller’s Title Notice to eliminate any disapproved or conditionally approved matters as provided above, or if Buyer disapproves, in Buyer’s discretion, Seller’s Title Notice, then Buyer shall have the right, by a writing delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder prior to a period five (5) business days after the receipt of Seller’s Title Notice to: (A) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matter(s) shall be deemed approved, or (B) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow created pursuant hereto. Otherwise, the Buyer shall take title at the Close of Escrow subject to such objectionable, non-monetary items without any adjustment to or credit against the Purchase Price.
Upon the issuance of any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report which adds additional exceptions, including any survey exceptions, the foregoing right of review and approval shall also apply to said amendment or supplement. The process set forth above for Buyer’s review and Seller’s response shall apply to any review and response with respect to any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report, and the Closing shall be extended for such period as is necessary to allow for that review and response process to be completed.
5.2 Seller to Provide Environmental Studies and Information. Immediately upon the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall provide without charge to Buyer full, complete, and accurate copies of such environmental studies, laboratory results or analyses, surveys or drilling logs, Phase 1 or Phase 2 analyses, monitoring well reports, or any other type of report, summary, data, or information as are in Seller’s possession or control regarding any soil or groundwater condition, or other environmental condition on the Easement, or the Larger Parcel. Buyer shall have full access to such information to assist its conduct of Due Diligence investigations regarding the Easement.
5.3 Continuing Due Diligence. For a period of thirty (30) days (the “Due Diligence Period”) commencing upon the Opening of Escrow, Buyer shall have the right to examine, inspect and investigate the Easement area and, at Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to determine 89 159/022390-0048
1134403.01 a11/21/23
5 whether the physical and environmental condition of the Easement area is acceptable to Buyer.
This right shall supersede any prior agreement or arrangement that might be made between Buyer and Seller regarding access to the Easement area to perform environmental studies or analyses.
Seller shall permit Buyer, its engineers, analysts, contractors, lenders and agents to conduct physical inspections of the Easement area, including soil, subsurface soils, drainage, seismic and other geological and topographical matters, location of toxic substances, hazardous materials or wastes, if any, and any other investigations as Buyer deems prudent with respect to the physical condition of the Easement area. Such investigations may be made by Buyer and/or its agents during any normal business hours. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accompany Buyer during such investigations and/or inspections but shall not interfere therewith, and shall be provided with copies of reports developed during such investigation or inspection. Buyer shall repair any and all damage to the Easement area caused by such inspections or investigations in a timely manner, and shall indemnify and defend the Seller from and against liability arising from Buyer’s negligent conduct in the physical inspection hereunder. Buyer shall notify Seller and Escrow Holder in writing (“Buyer’s Due Diligence Notice”) on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the condition of the Easement area, and Buyer’s investigations with respect thereto. Buyer’s failure to deliver Buyer’s Due Diligence Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed Buyer’s approval thereof.
6. CLOSE OF ESCROW.
6.1 Close of Escrow; Closing Date. Provided that all of the conditions of this Agreement precedent to the “Close of Escrow” (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 10 below have been satisfied (or waived by the appropriate party) prior to or on the Closing Date, the Closing of this transaction for the sale and purchase of the Easement shall take place on or before forty five (45) days after the Opening of Escrow (“Closing Date”). The Closing Date may be extended by mutual written agreement by Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer and Seller agree to advance the Closing, and so long as all of “Buyer’s Conditions to Closing” and all of “Seller’s Conditions to Closing” (as those terms are defined in Section 10) have been satisfied (or waived by the appropriate party), Seller and Buyer may elect to authorize the Closing before the Closing Date. The terms “Close of Escrow”, “Closing Date” and the “Closing” are used herein to mean the time Seller’s grant of permanent roadway easement conveying interest in the Easement to Buyer is recorded in the Official Records of the Office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles (“Official Records”). If Escrow is not in a condition to close by the Closing Date, either party not then in default hereunder may, upon five (5) business days’ advance written notice to the other party and Escrow Holder, elect to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS

NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER
FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE

GENERAL PROVISIONS
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
1. Privacy Notice (15 U.S.C. 6801 and 16 CFR Part 313)
We collect nonpublic personal information about you from information you provide on forms and documents and from other people such as your lender, real estate agent, attorney, title company, etc. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law. We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information.
2. Execution & Delivery of Escrow Instructions
These instructions may be executed in counterparts and said counterparts together will constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that the parties hereto utilize facsimile or electronically transmitted instructions to Escrow Holder, said parties hereby instruct Escrow Holder to rely upon such instructions as if they were originals. Any amendments and supplements to these instructions must be in writing and shall only be effective when executed and delivered to Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with nor have any obligations with respect to items designated as memoranda in these instructions or with any other agreement or contract between the parties to this escrow.
3. Deposit of Funds
(i) All funds received in this escrow will be deposited with other escrow funds in one or more non-interest-bearing escrow accounts of Escrow Holder in a financial institution selected by Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall not be responsible and shall have no liability for any delay in closing this escrow if the funds deposited in this escrow are not available for immediate withdrawal as a matter of right following deposit in such financial institution. (ii) You have the opportunity to earn interest on the funds you deposit with us through a deposit account arrangement that Escrow Holder has established with one of its financial institutions. The interest rate for these accounts varies between financial institutions, fluctuates periodically based on market conditions and other factors, and may change prior to or during the time your funds are on deposit. You will not have an opportunity to earn interest on any funds deposited by a lender. (iii) If you elect to earn interest through this special account arrangement, Escrow Holder will charge you an additional fee of $50.00 for the establishment and maintenance of the account. This fee compensates Escrow Holder for the costs associated with opening and managing the interest-bearing account, preparing correspondence/documentation, transferring funds, maintaining appropriate records for audit/reconciliation purposes and filing any required tax withholding statements. It is important that you consider this cost in your decision since the cost may exceed the interest you earn. If you are interested in having your funds deposited in an interest-bearing account, please contact your escrow officer. (iv) If you do not elect to have your funds deposited in an interest-bearing account, your funds (together with any funds deposited by a lender) will be held in Escrow Holder’s general escrow trust account. The general escrow trust account is restricted and protected against claims by third parties or creditors of Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder and/or its parent company may receive certain direct and indirect financial benefits from the financial institution as a result of maintaining the general escrow trust account. These benefits may include, without limitation, credits allowed by such financial institution on loans to Escrow Holder and/or its parent company and earnings on investments made with the proceed of such loans, as well as accounting, reporting and other services and products of such financial institution. Escrow Holder shall have no obligation to account to the parties to this escrow in any manner for the value of, or to pay to any party, any benefit received by Escrow Holder and/or its parent company. Any such benefits shall be deemed additional compensation of Escrow Holder for its services in connection with this escrow. Some or all of these benefits may be deemed interest due you under California Insurance Code Section 12413.5. As indicated above, you may elect to have your funds placed in a separate, interest-bearing account and receive the benefits therefrom, but you will be required to pay Escrow Holder an additional fee for this service. Alternatively, you may leave your funds in the general escrow trust account and thereby authorize Escrow Holder to keep the benefits it and/or its parent company receives from the financial institution. In either event, you understand and agree that Escrow Holder and/or its parent company may receive and retain for their sole benefit any and all benefits derived from the general escrow trust account prior to the deposit of your funds in an interest-bearing account and following the withdrawal of your funds from such interest-bearing account (normally two business days prior to the close of escrow). (v) All parties depositing funds in connection with this escrow are hereby notified that the funds so deposited are insured only to the limit provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (vi) Funds deposited by a lender are ordinarily deposited to escrow one or two days prior to closing. You should be aware that your lender may begin charging interest on your loan from the date loan funds are deposited into Escrow Holder’s escrow trust account.
4. Good Funds Law – California Insurance Code §12413.1
All parties are aware and understand that California Insurance Code §12413.1 mandates that funds deposited into an escrow must be collected and available for withdrawal PRIOR TO DISBURSEMENT. The determination of the availability of funds is set forth as follows:

1. A seller who is an individual or when the disbursement instructions authorize the proceeds to be sent to a financial intermediary of the seller, OR
2. A corporate seller that has no permanent place of business in California.
The buyer may become subject to penalty for failure to withhold an amount equal to the greater of 10 percent of the amount required to be withheld or five hundred dollars ($500).
However, notwithstanding any other provision included in the California statutes referenced above, no buyer will be required to withhold any amount or be subject to penalty for failure to withhold if:

B. That the California real property being conveyed is or will be exchanged for property of like kind (within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code), but only to the extent of the amount of gain not required to be recognized for California income tax purposes under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
C. That the California real property has been compulsorily or involuntarily converted (within the meaning of Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code) and that the seller intends to acquire property similar or related in service or use so as to be eligible for nonrecognition of gain for California income tax purposes under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code.
D. That the California real property transaction will result in a loss for California income tax purposes.
The seller is subject to penalty for knowingly filing a fraudulent certificate for the purpose of avoiding the withholding requirement.
The California statutes referenced above include provisions which authorize the Franchise Tax Board to grant reduced withholding and waivers from withholding on a case-by-case basis for corporations or other entities.
Buyer understands that in no event will Escrow Holder undertake to advise Buyer and/or Buyer's representative on the possible application of the above code sections to this specific transaction. Unless expressly instructed by Seller and Buyer herein, Buyer understands that Escrow Holder will NOT assist in obtaining a waiver from withholding from the Franchise Tax Board.

Box 651, Sacramento, CA 95812-0651.
18. Non-Resident Alien
The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA), Title 26 U.S.C., Section 1445, and the regulations there under, provide in part, that a transferee (buyer) of a U.S. real property interest from a foreign person (non-resident alien) must withhold a tax equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount realized on the disposition, report the transaction and remit the withholding to the Internal Revenue Service within twenty (20) days after the transfer. Lawyers Title Company has not and will not participate in any determination of whether the FIRPTA tax provisions are applicable to the subject transaction, nor act as a Qualified Substitute nor furnish tax advice to any party to the transaction. Lawyers Title Company is not responsible for determining whether the transaction will qualify for an exception or an exemption and is not responsible for the filing of any tax forms with the Internal Revenue Service as they relate to FIRPTA. Lawyers Title Company is not the agent for the buyer for the purposes of receiving and analyzing any evidence or documentation that the Seller in the subject transaction is a U.S. citizen or resident alien. The buyer is advised they must independently make a determination of whether the contemplated transaction is taxable or non-taxable and the applicability of the withholding requirement to the subject transaction, and should seek the advice of their attorney or accountant. Lawyers Title Company is not responsible for the payment of this tax and/or and penalty and/or interest incurred in connection therewith and such taxes are not a matter covered by the Owner's Policy of Title Insurance to be issued to the Buyer.

19. Preliminary Change of Ownership
Prior to the close of escrow, Buyer may hand Escrow Holder a fully completed and executed "Preliminary Change of Ownership Report" (PCOR) pursuant to the requirements of California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 480.3. Buyer may elect not to complete and execute said form prior to the close of escrow. Should Buyer choose not to execute the PCOR or should the County Recorder’s office reject the PCOR for any reason, Buyer is aware that a $20.00 charge will be assessed by the County Recorder's office and Escrow Holder will charge the account of Buyer accordingly. In the event the PCOR has not been filed at the time the documents record OR the County Tax Assessors office determines that the form has not been properly completed, Buyer will be responsible for obtaining and completing a new PCOR and any additional documents that may be required by the Assessor's office.
Failure to file a proper PCOR will result in additional penalties in accordance with Section 480 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Escrow Holder's sole duty shall be the delivery of the PCOR to the County Recorder at the time of recordation of transfer documents, if it is provided to Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder assumes no liability or responsibility regarding the proper completion of the PCOR.
20. Supplemental Taxes
124

If Buyer has not paid policy premium prior to close of escrow, Escrow Holder is authorized and instructed to debit Buyer's account with the cost of the annual premium and pay such premium to the insurance agent and/or company, at the close of escrow, from funds deposited by Buyer. Escrow Holder is instructed to request that the insurance company deliver the original policy and copies, as required, to all necessary parties. In the event the property is covered by a blanket insurance policy, Buyer shall provide Escrow Holder with a Certificate of Insurance. FAILURE TO PROVIDE FIRE/HAZARD INSURANCE WILL DELAY THE CLOSE OF ESCROW. Escrow Holder has no obligation to obtain fire or other insurance in the absence of a written instruction to do so.
22. Fees and Charges; Messenger Fees
Escrow, title, and recording charges and other costs are to be charged to the principals’ accounts in accordance with customary practices in this County, unless Escrow Holder is instructed to do otherwise in writing.

Special messenger fees will be charged at the actual cost of the messenger service, plus a mark-up to cover the Company's expenses, overhead and profit for arranging the service. There will be no additional charge for pick-up or delivery of packages via the Company's regularly scheduled messenger runs.

Seller hereby agrees to immediately deposit into escrow the amount of fees advanced for which Seller is responsible, and Escrow Holder will immediately disburse the amount of such deposit to Buyer. Buyer hereby agrees to immediately return to Escrow Holder any documentation provided to Buyer that is associated with fees advanced by Escrow Holder. Buyer shall not be reimbursed for any fees associated with documents provided to Buyer which are not returned to Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall not be liable to Buyer for fees deducted from Buyer’s deposit in the event Seller fails to deposit the amount of such fees into escrow.
24. Special Recording; Late Confirmation of Recording
Seller’s proceeds may not be available, and encumbrances may not be paid off, until the first business day following the day of recording if 1) documents recorded at close of escrow are recorded later in the day than 8:00 a.m. (which is called a “special recording”) or if 2) the County Recorder does not provide confirmation of recording within sufficient time to allow same-day disbursement of funds by wire or check.

2 decline in sales tax particularly in autos and transportation. Challenges included higher loan rates, labor disputes at major automakers and inventory issues. Spending generating sales taxes is expected to dip even more in fiscal year 2023-24, but the aging vehicle fleet and limited pandemic inventory provides some protection against substantial future tax revenue declines.
Please note that staff will be bringing the 2023/24 midyear budget before City Council in February 2024. We will discuss and analyze the fund balance more at that time, because the 2022/23 estimated fund balance was used when the City Council adopted the budget in June and now the actual ending fund balance will serve as a part of the 2023/24 mid-year analysis.

FY 2022-23 Housing Successor Annual Report 3 December 2023 City of Duarte
Section 1 Introduction
This Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2022-23 Housing Successor Annual Report (“Report”) has been prepared pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34176.1(f) and sets forth certain details of the Duarte Housing Authority (“Housing Authority” or “Housing Successor”) as the Housing Successor of the Duarte Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”). The Duarte Housing Authority was activated by the City Council in March 2011 by Resolution 11-08 for the purpose of implementing the City of Duarte (“City”) and former Agency’s affordable housing efforts. The Housing Authority was designated as the Housing Successor in January 2012 by Resolution 12-04.
The purpose of this Report is to provide the governing body of the Housing Successor an annual report on the housing assets and activities of the Housing Successor under Part 1.85, Division 24 of the HSC – In particular, Sections 34176 and 34176.1 (“Dissolution Law”). The Report is due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by December 31st each year.
1.1 Reporting Requirements
Senate Bill (“SB”) 341 (2013-14) established that all former redevelopment agency housing assets must be maintained in a separate fund called the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (“Housing Asset Fund”). HSC Section 34176.1(f) contains a series of annual reporting requirements for housing successor agencies regarding Housing Asset Funds. These requirements are presented below:
• Revenues and Expenditures
o Total amount deposited for the fiscal year.
o Statement of balance at the close of the fiscal year. o Description of expenditures for the fiscal year, broken out as follows:
▪ Rapid rehousing for homelessness prevention;
▪ Administrative expenses;
▪ Monitoring expenses (included as an administrative expense); ▪ All other expenditures must be reported as spent for each income group as defined by SB 341.
o Description of any transfers to another housing successor agency for a joint project. • Other Assets and Active Projects
o Description of any housing project(s) still funded through the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”).
o Update on property disposition or development for any property owned by the housing successor.
o Other “portfolio” balances, including the statutory value of any real property transferred from the former Agency or purchased by the Housing Asset Fund, and the value of loans and grants receivable.
131
FY 2022-23 Housing Successor Annual Report 4 December 2023 City of Duarte
o Inventory of homeownership units assisted by the former Agency or the Housing Authority, subject to covenants, restrictions, or an adopted program that protects the former Agency’s investment of monies from the Low and Moderate-Income Housing Fund.
• Obligations & Proportionality
o Description of any outstanding production obligations of the former Agency that are inherited by the Housing Authority.
o Compliance with proportionality requirements (income group targets), which must be upheld on a five-year cycle.
o Percentage of deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors and assisted by the entity assuming housing functions, the former Agency, or the county within the past ten years compared to the total number of units assisted by any of those three agencies.
SB 341 also mandates that housing successor agencies conduct an independent financial audit of the Housing Asset Fund within six months of the end of each fiscal year. Thisfinancial audit may be included in the independent financial audit of the host jurisdiction. The City’s audited financials for FY 2022-23, available on the City’s website, will be completed in December 2023, and include an audit of the Housing Asset Fund. This Report presents the activities of the Housing Successor for FY 2022-23.
1.2 Expenditure Requirements
The HSC provides the following guidelines for expenditures from the Housing Asset Fund:
1. Administrative costs, including housing monitoring, are capped at the greater of $200,000 adjusted annually for inflation or 5% of the statutory value of any land owned by the housing successor agency and of loans and grants receivable.
a. In the Housing Authority’s case, the greater of 5% of $896,753 or $254,000. For FY 2022-23, the administrative limit is $254,000.
2. If the former Agency did not have outstanding housing production requirements, the housing successor agency is authorized to spend up to $250,000 per year on homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services to individuals and families who are homeless or would be homeless without this assistance.
a. According to the FY 2009-14 Implementation Plan for the former Agency, no Section 33413(B) Inclusionary/Production Housing obligations were transferred to the Housing Successor. Therefore, the Housing Authority is allowed to make this expenditure if it chooses, and funding is available for such expenditures.
3. Remaining allowable expenditures must be spent to improve housing options affordable to households in the following income groups:
132
FY 2022-23 Housing Successor Annual Report 5 December 2023 City of Duarte
a. Extremely low income (households earning 30% or less of the Area Median Income (“AMI”)) – Minimum of 30% spent on housing options must be spent in this category. b. Very low-income (households earning 31% to 60% of the AMI) – No requirements. c. Low-income (households earning 61% to 80% of the AMI) – Maximum of 20% spent on housing options may be spent in this category.
d. No funding may be spent on moderate-income households (earning 81% to 120% of the AMI), as was previously authorized by redevelopment law.
Failure to comply with the extremely low-income requirement in any five-year compliance period will result in the Housing Authority having to ensure that 50% of remaining funds be spent on extremely low-income rental units until in compliance. Exceeding the expenditure limit for lower-income households in any five-year reporting period will result in the Housing Authority not being able to expend any funds on that income category until in compliance.
Housing successor agencies must report expenditures by category each year, but compliance with expenditure limitations is reported at the end of each five-year compliance period. For instance, a housing successor agency could spend all of its funds in a single year on lower-income households, as long as it was 20% or less of the total expenditures during the five-year compliance period.
The first five-year compliance period ended on June 30, 2019 and the Housing Successor complied with all of the requirements. Currently, the Housing Successor is on its second fiveyear compliance period (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024) and will continue to ensure it complies with the expenditure requirements.
1.3 Assets Transferred to the Housing Successor Agency
The City prepared the required Housing Asset Transfer Form (“HAT”) in 2012 that provided an inventory of all housing-related assets transferred from the former Agency to the Housing Authority following the dissolution of redevelopment. The HAT was approved by the California Department of Finance (“DOF) on August 1, 2013 and included:
• Real properties;
• Low-Mod Encumbrances; and
• Loans/Grants Receivables;

Section 3 Property Development & Disposition
HSC Section 33334.16 requires that all real properties acquired by the Agency prior to February 1, 2012 and transferred to the Housing Authority be developed for affordable housing purposes or disposed of within five years from the date DOF approved the HAT, or August 1, 2018. However, the law allows for a five-year extension via adoption of a resolution - The Housing Authority adopted a resolution allowing for a five-year extension. With the extension, the Housing Authority would have to sell or develop the remaining properties by August 1, 2023.
Of the 7 real properties transferred from the Agency to the Housing Authority (pursuant to the HAT), 2 have been sold and developed into affordable housing, 3 were sold and are in the process of being developed, and 2 are in the process of being sold. The properties are described below. • 1660 & 1700 Huntington Drive
Both properties were sold in 2013 to Southern California Presbyterian Homes (“SCPH”), an experienced non-profit housing developer that has been providing housing and healthcare services to seniors for over 50 years. The property was developed as the Andres Duarte Terrace II, a 42-unit affordable senior housing development for very low-income seniors. • 2400 Huntington Drive
This 20,345-square-foot property was acquired with the intent of assembling a group of properties to the east for a comprehensive residential development between the Elks Club and Las Brisas homes. The site was recently included in the 2021-2029 Housing Element as part of a new Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) zone and will provide an incentive for higher densities for affordable housing. According to the Housing Element, the AHO will be complete by 2023, indicating that the property may not develop by August 1, 2023. Pursuant to HSC Section 33334.16, because the property was not developed by August 1, 2023, the property was made available for sale. On November 28, the City issued a request for proposals (RFP) soliciting affordable housing developers to submit proposals for the development of the City-owned property at 2400 Huntington Drive. The RFP schedule calls for having a developer selected and an exclusive negotiation agreement (ENA) signed by Late March 2024. Once the property is sold, the money shall be deposited into the Housing Successor’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund.
• 1305, 1423, & 1437 Huntington Drive & Rite Aid Parking Lot Area These four properties were acquired over time with the goal of creating a larger mixed-use town center area. The Successor Agency to the former Agency also owns a property in this area (1415 Huntington) and maintains the same goal. The general idea is to develop the eastern portion of the site with approximately 100-140 residential units (35-50 units/acre) and redevelop the existing commercial center by removing some buildings and façade enhancement of others and focusing on tying the entire project together. 1423 and 1437 Huntington Drive were sold on 137
FY 2022-23 Housing Successor Annual Report 10 December 2023 City of Duarte
October 15, 2018, and the proceeds of the sale were transferred to the Housing Asset Fund. 1305 Huntington Drive was sold in 2017, but the journal entry was completed, and the proceeds transferred to the Housing Asset Fund in April of 2020. The Rite Aid Parking Lot Area remains to be sold. Pursuant to HSC Section 33334.16, if the development of the property has not begun by August 1, 2023, the property will be made available for sale and the money shall be deposited into the Housing Successor’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund. 138
FY 2022-23 Housing Successor Annual Report 11 December 2023 City of Duarte
Section 4 Outstanding Inclusionary & Replacement Housing According to the FY 2009-2014 Implementation Plan for the former Agency, no Section 33413(b) replacement or inclusionary/production housing obligations were transferred to the Housing Successor.
Therefore, there are no outstanding inclusionary or replacement housing obligations of the former Agency to be fulfilled by the Housing Authority.

Section 5 Senior Housing Expenditure Proportionality
This Report must include an accounting of deed-restricted senior rental units that were produced over the last 10 years. The Housing Authority may use Housing Asset Funds to assist no more than 50% of the aggregate total number of senior housing units produced by either the Housing Authority or former Agency during the past 10 years. Exceeding this limitation will prohibit the use of Housing Asset Funds to subsidize any senior rental units in the future.
As shown in Table 5 below, the Housing Authority and former Agency assisted 1 property in the last ten years where 100% of the units are restricted to seniors. The Housing Authority may not spend any additional funds to subsidize senior rental units in the future until it can ensure that no more than 50% of the total aggregate number of rental units at all affordability levels produced within the preceding 10 years are restricted to seniors. The Housing Authority would have to subsidize at least 42 non-senior, affordable units to meet the required limitations to have the ability to subsidize additional senior units in the future. When the Housing Authority is back in compliance, it will need to consider these proportionality requirements and subsidize units in a way that keeps the proportions in compliance.

Section 6 Excess Surplus
Excess surplus calculations were once performed by redevelopment agencies on an annual basis and are intended to ensure that funds are expended to benefit low-income households in an expeditious manner - funds should be encumbered within four years of receipt. SB 341 reinstates this calculation for housing successor agencies. HSC Section 34176.1(d) defines excess surplus as “an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars, or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the housing successor agency’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater.” As shown in Table 6 below, the Housing Asset Fund has an excess surplus of $933,829 in the Housing Asset Fund for FY 2022-23. The Housing Authority must encumber any excess surplus amount within three fiscal years, or the funds must be transferred to HCD for its Multifamily Housing Program or Joe Serna Jr. Farmworkers Housing Grant Program. In accordance with state legislation, it is imperative for the Housing Authority to allocate the surplus of $862,897 generated during FY 2019-20 by FY 2022-23.
On November 28, the City issued an RFP soliciting affordable housing developers to submit proposals for the development of the City-owned property at 2400 Huntington Drive. The RFP schedule calls for having a developer selected and an ENA signed by Late March 2024. In addition to the City-owned property, the City has set aside $900,000 as an additional subsidy. The City is also working with the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust (SGVRHT) on this project. The SGVRHT has agreed to make an additional $2,000,000 in affordable housing subsidy available for this development. The 2021- 2029 Housing Element identified the 2400 Huntington site in its Residential Sites Inventory (Site 8).

Section 8 Deposits from City to Agency Loan Repayments
HSC Section 34191.4(b)(3)(C) requires that 20% of any loan repayment made from a redevelopment successor agency to a city, for a loan that a city made to a former redevelopment agency, be deducted from the loan repayment amount and transferred to the Housing Asset Fund.
The Housing Authority does not have any loans made from the former Agency to the City or Housing Authority that require a 20% set aside. However, the Housing Asset Fund was receiving payments for a Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (“SERAF”). The SERAF loan was repaid and is no longer receivable.
