Agenda Item 5.2
DATE: December 3, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Agreement with Advanced Integrated Pest Management for Pest Control Services
Prepared by: Julius Pickney, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an amendment to the agreement with Advanced Integrated Pest Management for pest control services at City Facilities and on Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (Camp Parks).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Agreement with Advanced Integrated Pest Management for Pest Control Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of these services at City facilities will be charged to the Public Works Department in accordance with the adopted annual operating budget. All expenditures for services provided on Camp Parks are reimbursed to the City through the Intergovernmental Support Agreement which includes an administrative fee for the City’s oversight and management of services. The proposed amendment sets the not-to-exceed (NTE) contract amount at $84,411 for City services only (it was previously NTE $159,742 for both City and Camp Parks services). Pest management provided at Camp Parks through the contract are estimated at $70,000 per year but will not have an NTE limit.
DESCRIPTION:
The Public Works Department utilizes contractors for regular and on-call maintenance services.
On June 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 76-22 approving an agreement with Advanced Integrate Pest Management (AIPM) for pest control services at City buildings and at facilities on Camp Parks. The agreement expires on June 30, 2025. Staff recommends an early extension to address budgetary constraints, as unanticipated rodent eradication efforts requested 31
by Camp Parks over the past two years have significantly exceeded the original budget allocation, leaving insufficient funds to continue providing pest control services. To address this, Staff proposes an amendment to extend the term by two years to June 30, 2027, revise the scope of services, account for reimbursable services, and update the compensation schedule to reflect current service rates, including the previously approved 3% maximum annual cost-of-living adjustment which will remain in effect for the duration of the contract.
The City of Dublin provides pest control services on Camp Parks through an Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA) that was approved by the City Council on December 3, 2019 (Resolution No. 129-19). The City currently provides pest control services through the agreement with AIPM. Camp Parks staff requests the City continue providing pest management services through this agreement and requests flexibility to make service adjustments throughout the contract term to allow for changing needs at Camp Parks. An example of such changing needs is exterior rodent control, which is dependent on seasonal factors and rodent population growth.
All expenditures associated with providing pest control services on Camp Parks through the ISGA are fully reimbursed by the federal government. In addition to reimbursement of AIPM service charges, the City receives an administrative fee to cover the cost of managing the contract. The proposed amendment includes revisions to the compensation clause, removing the not-to-exceed NTE limit from the services performed on Camp Parks, thereby allowing City staff to work directly with Camp Parks to authorize requested pest management services and manage the associated expenditure and revenue budgets administratively. This reduces the NTE limit from $159,742 to $84,411 for City services only.
The proposed amendment also includes revisions to the scope of services, including adding the requirement that AIPM must comply with the City of Dublin Integrated Pest Management Policy and Standard Operating Procedure. The amendment also adds the Dublin Arts Center to the City service locations and updates the rate schedule to show the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 rates.

43 Updated 2024
44 Background and Purpose
On May 2nd, 2006, City Council adopted Resolution No. 57-06 Establishing a Policy on Integrated Pest Management (Attachment A) to meet requirements in the Municipal Storm Water Discharge Permit CAS0029831 issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board to the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (Permit). The IPM Policy set forth guiding principals for the development and implementation of an IPM Policy on all City owned facilities to accomplish the following:
1) Minimize pesticide use at City facilities to ensure that the City remains in compliance with the Permit by applying the IPM Policy;
2) Reduce the use of broad-spectrum pesticides when feasible; 3) Conduct outreach and provide the means of educating all City Staff to create awareness about IPM and the use of alternative pest management techniques; and 4) Reduce the adverse impacts to water quality (both in local creeks and the San Francisco Bay) due to pesticide usage, particularly from copper-based pesticides, 2-4-d based herbicides and organophosphate pesticides.
After the adoption of Resolution No. 57-06, the Permit has been revised three times. The third reissuance of the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (MRP) requires Permittees to develop a pesticide toxicity control program for use of pesticides in its municipal operations and on municipal property. The program must be based on the concepts of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Permittees must have an IPM policy and associated Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to implement the policy. The purpose of the IPM Policy and SOPs (Policy) is to prevent the impairment of urban streams by pesticide-related toxicity.
The pesticides known to impact water quality which are included in MRP 3 has expanded to include those listed below.
Urban-use pesticides of concern to water quality included in the MRP include:
• Diamides (chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole)
• Diuron, fipronil, and its degradates
• Indoxacarb
• Organophosphorous insecticides (chlorpyrifos, diazinion, and malathion) • Pyrethroids (metoflurthrin, bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, beta-cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, lambda-cyhalothrin, and permethrin) • Carbamates (e.g. carbaryl and aldicarb)
• Neonicotinoids (e.g. imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and dinotefuran) • Copper-based chemicals
In addition to the pesticides listed in the MRP, the City of Dublin prohibits the use of glyphosate (i.e., Roundup) and 2-4-d based herbicides on City property.
45 IPM Overview
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of control methods or techniques.
Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed, according to established action thresholds and when pest threshold levels are exceeded.
Understanding pest characteristics and needs is essential to implementing IPM effectively. Pests seek habitats that provide basic needs such as air, moisture, food and shelter. They often can be prevented or controlled by creating inhospitable environments, by removing basic survival elements or by simply blocking their access. An effective, long-term approach to managing pests uses a combination of non-chemical methods or techniques that work well together. Chemical control methods are used only when implementation of non-chemical control methods have been unsuccessful at reducing pests below the established action threshold for the pest. Approaches for managing pests are grouped as shown below and explained in more detail in Attachment B.
Image credit: https://beehealth.uada.edu/assets/pages/beekeepingipm.html IPM Pest Management Hierarchy
The IPM-based hierarchical decision-making process used to control pests will follow the five steps of IPM, as described below.
Five Steps of IPM (from Pesticide.org)
1) Identify the pest. Most species of living things are NOT pests, but are contributing members of the broader ecosystem (e.g. spiders in landscape areas). By taking the time to ensure that
46 a suspected pest is an actual pest, a lot of unnecessary pest control efforts can be eliminated.
2) Monitor pest activity. By monitoring pest populations over time, you can determine if pests are present in numbers to be concerned about potential damage. Monitoring ensures that unnecessary treatments are avoided.
3) Determine Action Thresholds. An action threshold is the point at which further damage is considered intolerable and some kind of pest control action is required. 4) Explore treatment options and make treatments. There are many different treatment options besides pesticides and prevention should always be considered first. Exclusion is key.
Using screens and caulking goes a long way to keeping pests out of buildings. Increasing levels of sanitation often plays a big role in preventing pests. a. If pesticides are deemed necessary, priority should be given to treatments that are highly targeted to the pest organism, using containerized baits when possible, and to pesticides that are least toxic to human health and the environment. Particular attention must be paid to avoid pesticides that cause water quality impairment as listed above.
5) Evaluate results. Monitoring after the treatments is how you know how effective the treatment was, and if pest populations are at acceptable levels. No further treatments are made unless monitoring shows that pests are again at action thresholds.
Roles and Responsibilities
1. Public Works Manager will oversee implementation of the IPM Policy, including:
i. Be knowledgeable about IPM and the IPM Policy.
ii. Ensure that any permits or licenses that the City and/or its contractors need to have are maintained.
iii. Ensure that contract documents require contractors to adhere to the IPM Policy. iv. Include the IPM Policy in contractor service solicitations (e.g., RFPs) and contract specifications.
v. Give contract award preference to contractors who are IPM certified and possess a Qualified Applicators License or Certificate, as applicable. vi. Require review of the City’s IPM Policy and SOP during contract kickoff project meetings and during annual IPM Policy trainings.
2. Public Works Maintenance Coordinator will direct pesticide contractors to implement the IPM Policy. Specifically, the Public Works Maintenance Coordinator will:
i. Be knowledgeable about IPM and the IPM Policy.
ii. Attend IPM trainings.
iii. Require evidence of certifications/permits/licenses required of all pesticide contractors and subcontractors.
iv. Require monthly pesticide use records from contractors and an application summary report for MRP Annual Reporting.
v. Verify contractor compliance with the IPM Policy and document actions taken to correct contractor performance for MRP Annual Reports.
47 vi. Ensure proper pesticide application noticing, as required by pesticide manufacturer product guidelines and federal/state regulations.
vii. Approve pesticide application pre-approval requests.
3. Environmental & Sustainability Manager will provide support to the Maintenance Division, including:
i. Provide annual training to employees and contractors involved with facility and landscape maintenance on the IPM Policy.
ii. Document annual IPM training attendance, content and materials for MRP Annual Reports.
iii. Report on IPM practices implemented and pesticides used in the MRP Annual Reports.

58 Attachment B: IPM Practices
The following provides a brief explanation of the different types of controls used when following an integrated pest management strategy. Specific controls will be pest specific and need to be developed on a case-by-case basis.
A. Cultural Controls and Sanitation are practices that reduce pest establishment, reproduction, dispersal, and survival. For example, plant resistance to pests can often be maximized by paying close attention to soil conditions and irrigation, and changing irrigation practices can reduce pest problems, since too much water can increase root disease and weeds. Sealing up food, providing proper waste storage and disposal, and educating people on good housekeeping practices are examples of cultural controls that can prevent or minimize pest problems inside or outside buildings.
B. Physical and Mechanical Controls can make the environment unsuitable for pest survival. Traps for rodents are examples of mechanical control. Physical controls include mulching, mowing or hoeing for weed management. Fly screens and hand removal of pests are other examples of physical controls.
C. Biological Control is the use of natural enemies such as predators, parasites, pathogens and competitors to control pests and their damage. Invertebrates, plant pathogens, nematodes, weeds and vertebrates often have natural enemies that can serve this function. Examples of natural enemies on pest populations include lacewings, ladybugs, predatory mites, and parasitoid wasps. These natural enemies can be mistaken for pests, which is why it is essential to positively identify the target “pest” before taking action. Conservation of vegetation to support beneficial insects is another example of a biological control.
D. Chemical Treatments with pesticides can be necessary if established threshold levels have been so severely exceeded that other methods are ineffective. Precise recommendations or actions to achieve specific results (i.e., controlling the pest population to a manageable level) is an essential part of an IPM Program. Specific pesticide recommendations are provided by a Pest Control Advisor (PCA) and least toxic options targeting the specific pest only are preferred. Using baits and traps rather than sprays should be tried first.

CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 5.3
DATE: December 3, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Agreement with EOA, Inc. for Stormwater NPDES Implementation Assistance
Prepared by: Julius Pickney, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an amendment to the agreement with EOA, Inc. for Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Implementation Assistance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Agreement with EOA, Inc. for Stormwater NPDES Implementation Assistance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of these services will be charged to the Public Works Department in accordance with the adopted annual operating budget, Capital Improvement Program project budgets, and/or developer deposit accounts. The proposed amendment will increase the not-to-exceed compensation of the agreement by $410,000, for a total contract amount of $860,000.
DESCRIPTION:
The Public Works Department utilizes consultants and contractors on Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, private development projects, and City operations and maintenance programs. On April 19, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 36-22 approving an agreement with EOA, Inc. for stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) implementation assistance. The work being done under the contract is approaching the current not-to-exceed amount of $450,000. The term of the existing agreement expires on June 30, 2025.
Staff has prepared an amendment to the agreement to extend the term of service to June 30, 2027.
The proposed amendment also revises the not-to-exceed compensation limit to $860,000, to reflect the cost of estimated services through the extended term. The amendment also includes a 80
replacement Exhibit B - Compensation Schedule & Reimbursable Expenses which reflects the current hourly rates of EOA, Inc. personnel allowed under the existing agreement.
The City of Dublin is a co-permittee of the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit, also known as the MRP. The MRP is issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act. The MRP is re-issued every five years. EOA, Inc. provides specialized technical and engineering services to support the City in its implementation of the MRP on a variety of projects. The need for consultant support towards MRP implementation tasks will continue for the foreseeable future due to the current MRP regulations and reporting requirements.
Since April 2022, EOA, Inc. has supported the City of Dublin’s MRP implementation efforts through several activities and projects, which include:
Reviewing development projects related to MRP-required Stormwater Management Maintenance Agreements.
Assisting with tasks related to the Annual Report submitted to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Developing a plan to eliminate trash discharges in stormwater (100% full trash capture). Updating the MRP Enforcement Response Plan, green stormwater infrastructure standard plans, and template specifications.
Creating green stormwater infrastructure maintenance resources. Revising the Stormwater Pollution Plan for the Corporation Yard.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.

STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 5.4
DATE: December 3, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Agreement with Francisco & Associates, Inc. for Acquisition Audit Services and Administration Services
Prepared by: Julius Pickney, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an amendment to the agreement with Francisco & Associates, Inc. for Acquisition Audit Services and Administration Services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Agreement with Francisco & Associates, Inc. for Acquisition Audit Services and Administration Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of these services will be charged to the Public Works Department in accordance with the adopted annual operating budget, Capital Improvement Program project budgets, and/or developer deposit accounts. The proposed amendment will increase the not-to-exceed compensation of the agreement by $150,000, for a total contract amount of $400,000.
DESCRIPTION:
The Public Works Department utilizes consultants and contractors on Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects, private development projects, and City operations and maintenance programs. On May 4, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 41-21 approving an agreement with Francisco & Associates, Inc. for acquisition audit and administration services. The term of the agreement expires on December 31, 2024. Staff prepared an amendment to the agreement to extend the term of service to December 31, 2026. The proposed amendment also revises the not- to-exceed compensation limit to $400,000, to reflect the cost of estimated services through the extended term.
Updated hourly consultant rates reflect current market rates for these services. Updated lump 111
sum fees for the assessment districts and the emergency medical services tax have increased approximately 10%, which aligns with the annual consumer price index increases since May 2021.
The residential garbage and recycling service lump sum fee has increased to reflect actual time needed to coordinate new residential garbage and recycling accounts, align property address records with the County Assessor, and to coordinate with Amador Valley Industries.
Staff recommends additional services be included in the proposed amendment in the form of an updated scope of services. The updated scope of services includes acquisition and audit services for both the Francis Ranch Community Facilities District (CFD 2023-1) and the Dublin Centre Community Facilities District (CFD 2025-1), in addition to the existing Dublin Crossing Community Facilities District (CFD 2015-1). Staff is also recommending adding as-needed services for PG&E account consolidation and auditing, as well as mapping services related to the interface of City, property owner, and/or homeowner association lands and utilities. The as-needed services relate to both Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts and Community Facilities Districts.

Agenda Item 5.5
DATE: December 3, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance Levying Special Taxes Within City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre)
Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Finance Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider waiving the second reading and adopting the Ordinance levying a special tax within City of Dublin Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre).
On November 19, 2024, the City Council took actions to form the Dublin Centre CFD, which included introducing an Ordinance to levy special taxes within Dublin Centre and set the date of December 3, 2024 for the second reading.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Waive the second reading and adopt the Ordinance Levying Special Taxes Within City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended action has no financial impact on the City. All costs associated with the formation of the proposed Community Facilities District are borne entirely by the developer.
The proposed Community Facilities District will be self-sustaining, including annual compensation to the City for its management.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The City Council approved the Development Agreement for the Dublin Centre property on November 22, 2022. The Development Agreement specified in Section 6.2 that the City would use its best efforts to commence proceedings to form a Community Facilities District (CFD) to finance certain public facilities and services. The Development Agreement specified that the effective tax rate shall not exceed 1.75% or the term of the bonds shall not exceed 35 years. 144
The first step in the CFD formation process took place on October 15, 2024, with the City Council’s consideration and adoption of two resolutions of intention, which set the public hearing and special landowner election for November 19, 2024. The approval of the resolutions included a cap on the effective tax rate of 1.75% for each tax zone and the provision that impact fees would not be included as reimbursable costs from any future bond proceeds. These changes were incorporated into the resolutions heard at the November 19, 2024 public hearing.
Additionally, the City Council’s approval was based on the understanding that the developer would include transparency items on their website and disclose CFD information at the time of sale. Staff will continue to work with the developer to ensure these requirements are met.
On November 19, 2024, the City Council took the following actions forming the City of Dublin CFD No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre):
1. Adopted the Resolution Forming the City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024- 1 (Dublin Centre).
2. Adopted the Resolution Determining Necessity to Incur Bonded Indebtedness for the City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre).
3. Adopted the Resolution Calling Special Election for City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre).
The approval of these resolutions included an adjustment to the total effective Tax Rates as shown in Table 1.

1. Adopted the Resolution Declaring Results of Special Election and Directing Recording of Notice of Special Tax Lien for City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre).
2. Introduced and waived the first reading of the Ordinance Levying Special Taxes within City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2024-1 (Dublin Centre).

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Signing Authority of the Local Housing Trust Fund Grant for the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing and Amador Station Affordable Housing Projects
Prepared by: Jason Earl, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider resolutions authorizing the City Manager to receive and act as the trustee/manager for up to $3,333,333 in grant funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for both the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing project and the Amador Station Affordable Housing project. HCD has requested the City adopt new resolutions with a general designation of authority to the City Manager in order to access the award.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Application for, and Receipt of Local Housing Trust Fund Program Funds for the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing Project, and the Resolution Authorizing Application for, and Receipt of Local Housing Trust Fund Program Funds for the Amador Station Project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
In 2020 and 2022, the City Council approved a Resolution authorizing Linda Smith, as the City Manager, to submit applications and receive $3,333,333 in Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) grants from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for both the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing project and the Amador Station Affordable Housing project (Resolution 77-20 and Resolution 47-22). HCD awarded the grant funds to the City for each project (Contract number 20-LHTFCOM-15786 and Contract number 22-LHTFCOM-17512). 150
The purpose of the LHTF Program is to provide matching funds to local and regional housing trust funds dedicated to the creation, rehabilitation, or preservation of affordable housing, transitional housing and emergency shelters.
The City Council Resolutions authorizing both grant applications utilized template language provided by HCD. This language expressly gave Linda Smith, City Manager at that time, the authority to receive funds and act as the Trustee/Manager for the Local Housing Trust Fund Program awards for the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing and the Amador Station affordable housing projects. Due to the transition to a new City Manager, HCD is requiring the City to re-adopt resolutions with a general designation of authority to the “City Manager or their designee” to act in that capacity. HCD has advised this change is required to access the grant funds.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 3: Housing Inclusivity and Affordability
Objective A: Implement the goals, policies, and programs in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.
Objective B: Support efforts to produce housing affordable at all levels of income.
Objective D: Support development of housing types to support essential workers, younger buyers, and seniors.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The Resolutions Authorizing the City Manager to Receive and act as the Trustee/Manager for Local Housing Trust Fund Program Funds for the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing project and for the Amador Station project are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 as these resolutions do not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project” and would not result in either a direct physical change, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 5.7
DATE: December 3, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement for the Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing Project (PLPA-2021-00035) Prepared by: Jason Earl, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an amendment to the terms of the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement for Eden Housing’s Regional Street Senior Affordable Housing Project. The proposed amendment would reduce the interest rate on the Local Housing Trust Fund loan from 3% to 1%. This loan is funded by a grant the City received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The loan will help fund construction of the 113 unit very- low- and low-income affordable housing project located at 6541-6543 Regional Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Terms of the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement Between the City of Dublin and Corona/Ely Ranch, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The recommended action will result in the City charging a 1% interest rate over the life of the loan versus 3% which the City typically charges on Affordable Housing Assistance Agreements. The reduction in the interest rate of the loan will result in a decrease in interest revenue received at the end of the 55-year repayment term of the loan.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
Eden Housing proposes to develop a 1.33-acre site located at the corner of Regional Street and St.
Patrick Way at 6541-6543 Regional Street as shown in Figure 1. The property is bound by commercial uses to the south, the 499-unit Avalon West project to the east, St. Patrick Way and commercial uses to the north, and Regional Street and commercial uses to the west. The project will include 113 units affordable lower income households. 158
The City Council approved an Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement (Attachment 2) between the City of Dublin and Eden Housing’s controlled affiliate, Corona/Ely Ranch, Inc., on June 20, 2023 (Resolution 68-23). This agreement included the dedication of the 1.33-acre project site valued at approximately $5 million, an allocation of $5 million from the Alameda County Measure A-1 Bond funds allocated to Dublin, a $1 million predevelopment loan from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund, and a $3,333,333 construction/permanent loan from the City of Dublin that is funded by a Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) grant the City received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for this project.
The City issued the $1 million predevelopment loan to Eden Housing in June of 2024. The loan has a 3% simple interest rate which began accruing interest at the time of loan issuance. This loan will be paid off when Eden receives their construction financing in early 2025.
Eden Housing has secured all of the necessary construction/permanent financing for the project to move forward. As is typical of affordable housing projects, Eden is obtaining financing from a variety of sources including a Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) lender, HCD No Place Like Home and Multi-Family Housing programs, Alameda County Measure A-1 Bond Fund, and the City of Dublin through the LHTF grant. However, the project is projected to be in a negative cash flow position in year 11 of operation without an interest rate reduction from HCD. The interest rate reduction will ensure the project’s tax credit investor will participate and that the project is financially feasible. HCD will only consider granting an interest rate reduction if Eden Housing first seeks a similar reduction from the City of Dublin and other public lenders. Therefore, Eden Housing is requesting the City Council consider reducing the interest rate from 3% to 1% on the 159
City’s $3.3 million loan.
Analysis
The $3,333,333 loan from the City of Dublin is funded by a grant the City received from HCD. HCD set the maximum interest rate the City can charge at 3%, but the City has the discretion to charge a lower interest rate. Lowering the interest rate will have minimal impact to the City since this is passthrough money from HCD. The City of Dublin must provide Eden Housing with a decision and rationale for that decision to address the requirement HCD placed on Eden to seek rate reductions from their other public lenders.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This amendment to the terms of the Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement between the City of Dublin and Corona/Ely Ranch, Inc. is not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 as it does not meet CEQA's definition of a project and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 3: Housing Inclusivity and Affordability
Objective A: Implement the goals, policies, and programs in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.
Objective B: Support efforts to produce housing affordable at all levels of income.
Objective D: Support development of housing types to support essential workers, younger buyers, and seniors.

Attachment 2
169
7 approvals, entitlements, permits, mitigation measures and conditions of approval are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Conditions of Approval”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, City acknowledges that the Development is currently in the conceptual design phase and that aspects of the Scope of Development may need to be changed, and therefore agrees to reasonably discuss such proposed changes to the Scope of Development with Developer in good faith, and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to such proposed changes to the Scope of Development.
3.2. Development Approvals. Developer acknowledges and agrees that execution of this Agreement by City does not constitute approval for the purpose of the issuance of building permits for the construction of the Development, does not limit in any manner the discretion of City in such approval process, and does not relieve Developer from the obligation to obtain all necessary entitlements, approvals, and permits for the construction of the Development, including without limitation, the approval of architectural plans, and the completion of any required environmental review of the Development pursuant to CEQA.

Developer shall commence and complete construction of the Development and shall satisfy all other obligations of Developer under this Agreement within the time periods set forth herein and in the Schedule of Performance attached hereto as Exhibit G, as such time periods may be extended upon the mutual written consent of the Parties.

Any review or inspection undertaken by the City is solely for the purpose of determining whether Developer is properly discharging its obligations under this Agreement, and shall not be relied upon by Developer or any third party as a warranty or representation by the City as to the quality of the design or construction of the Development and other improvements constructed on the Property (collectively, the “Improvements”) or otherwise.

The Construction Plans shall be based upon the Scope of Development and upon the development approvals issued by the City for the Development, and shall not materially deviate therefrom without the express written consent of City. Such approval of the Construction Plans by the City shall not relieve Developer's obligation to obtain any and all approvals and permits required by the City or the City Building Division.
If rejected by the City in whole or in part, Developer shall submit new or corrected Construction Plans within forty-five (45) days after notification of the City's rejection and the reasons therefor. The City shall then have thirty (30) days to review and approve Developer's new or corrected Construction Plans. The provisions of this Section relating to time periods for approval, rejection, or resubmission of new or corrected Construction Plans shall continue to apply until the Construction Plans have been approved by the City.
3.9. Construction Pursuant to Plans. Developer shall construct and develop the Development in accordance with the approved Construction Plans, the Conditions of Approval, and all other permits and approvals granted by the City pertaining to development of the Development.
Developer shall comply with all directions, rules and regulations of any fire marshal, health officer, building inspector or other officer of every governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Property or the Development. Each element of the work shall proceed only after procurement of each permit, license or other authorization that may be required for such element by any governmental agency having jurisdiction. All design and construction work on the Development shall be performed by licensed contractors, engineers or architects, as applicable.

9 3.10. Change in Construction Plans. If Developer desires to make any material change in the approved Construction Plans, Developer shall submit the proposed change in writing to the City for its written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the Construction Plans, as modified by any proposed change, conform to the requirements of this Agreement and any approvals issued by City after the Effective Date. The Parties shall meet in good faith to discuss the changes if the City propose to reject the changes. Any change in the Construction Plans required in order to comply with applicable codes shall be deemed approved, so long as such change does not substantially nor materially change the design, function, use, or amenities of the Development as shown on the latest approved Construction Plans. For purposes of this section, a “material change” means a change order that would result in a change of costs of a single item of work of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) or any set of changes in the work the costs of which cumulatively exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or more.
3.11. Defects in Plans. City shall not be responsible to Developer or to any third party for any defect in the Construction Plans or for any structural or other defect in any work done pursuant to the Construction Plans. Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel approved by City, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against all Claims arising out of, or relating to, or alleged to arise from or relate to defects in the Construction Plans or defects in any work done pursuant to the Construction Plans whether or not any insurance policies shall have been determined to be applicable to any such Claims. Developer’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and the recordation of a Certificate of Completion. It is further agreed that City does not, and shall not, waive any rights against Developer which it may have by reason of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement because of the acceptance by City, or Developer’s deposit with City of any of the insurance policies described in this Agreement. Developer’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section shall not extend to Claims arising due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees.
3.12. Certificate of Completion for Development. Promptly after completion of construction of the Development, issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy (or other applicable final City Building Department approval) by the City, and the written request of Developer, the City will provide an instrument (“Certificate of Completion”) so certifying. The Certificate of Completion shall be conclusive evidence that Developer has satisfied its obligations regarding the construction and development of the Development on the Property.
The Certificate of Completion shall be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, and at Developer’s option, shall be recorded in the official records of Alameda County.
The Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of Developer to any holder of a deed of trust or mortgage securing money loaned to finance the Development or any part thereof and shall not be deemed a notice of completion under the California Civil Code, nor shall such Certificate provide evidence that Developer has satisfied any obligation that survives the expiration of this Agreement, including without limitation, Developer’s obligations pursuant to the City Regulatory Agreement.
3.13. Equal Opportunity. During the construction of the Development, there shall be no discrimination on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, reproductive health decisionmaking, medical condition, genetic

3.14. Prevailing Wage Requirements.

City does not make any representations to Developer as to the applicability of the Prevailing Wage Law to the construction of the Development, and Developer agrees and acknowledges that it is not relying on any representations of City in making its determination as to the applicability of the Prevailing Wage Law. It is agreed by the Parties that, in connection with the construction of the Development, as between City and Developer, Developer shall be solely responsible for determining whether the Prevailing Wage Law is applicable to the construction of the Development, and Developer shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under the Prevailing Wage Law and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law. For purposes of this paragraph, “construction” includes work performed during the design and preconstruction phases of construction, including, but not limited to, inspection and land surveying work, and work performed during the postconstruction phases of construction, including, but not limited to, all cleanup work at the jobsite. The Developer shall periodically, upon request of the City, certify to the City that, to its knowledge, it is in compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.
Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel approved by City, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and hold the City, and its respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, consultants, and contractors (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), harmless from and against all liability, loss, cost, expense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), claim, demand, action, suit, judicial or administrative proceeding, penalty, deficiency, fine, order, and damage (all of the foregoing collectively “Claims”) which directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, are caused by, arise in connection with, result from, relate to, or are alleged to be caused by, arise in connection with, or relate to, the payment or requirement of payment of prevailing wages or the requirement of competitive bidding in the construction of the Development, the failure to comply with any state or federal labor laws, regulations or standards in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to the Prevailing Wage Laws, or any act or omission of Developer related to this Agreement with respect to the payment or requirement of payment of prevailing wages or the requirement of competitive bidding, whether or not any insurance policies shall have been determined to be applicable to any such Claims. It is further agreed that City does not and shall not waive any rights against Developer which it may have by reason of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement because of the acceptance by City, or Developer’s deposit with City of
Attachment 2
173
11 any of the insurance policies described in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3.14 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and the issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Development. Developer’s indemnification obligations under this Section 3.14 shall not apply to any Claim which arises as a result of an Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
3.15. Compliance with Laws. Developer shall carry out and shall cause its contractors to carry out the construction of the Development in conformity with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations, including without limitation, all applicable federal and state labor laws and standards, the City zoning and development standards, building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes, all other provisions of the City's Municipal Code, and all applicable disabled and handicapped access requirements, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 12101, et seq., Government Code Section 4450, et seq., Government Code Section 11135, et seq., and the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Civil Code Section 51, et seq.
3.16. Liens and Stop Notices. Until the expiration of the term of the City Regulatory Agreement and full repayment of the City Loans, Developer shall not allow to be placed on the Property or any part thereof any lien or stop notice on account of materials supplied to or labor performed on behalf of Developer. If a claim of a lien or stop notice is given or recorded affecting the Development, Developer shall within thirty (30) days of such recording or service: (a) pay and discharge (or cause to be paid and discharged) the same; or (b) effect the release thereof by recording and delivering (or causing to be recorded and delivered) to the party entitled thereto a surety bond in sufficient form and amount or provide other assurance satisfactory to City that the claim of lien or stop notice will be paid or discharged.
3.17. Right of City to Satisfy Liens on the Property. If Developer fails to satisfy or discharge any lien or stop notice on the Property pursuant to Section 3.16 above, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any such liens or stop notices at Developer’s expense and without further notice to Developer. In such event Developer shall be liable for and shall immediately reimburse City for such paid lien or stop notice. Alternatively, the City may require Developer to immediately deposit with City the amount necessary to satisfy such lien or claim pending resolution thereof. The City may use such deposit to satisfy any claim or lien that is adversely determined against Developer. Developer shall file a valid notice of cessation or notice of completion upon cessation of construction of the Development for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more, and shall take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims or liens against the Property or the Development. The City may (but has no obligation to) record any notices of completion or cessation of labor, or any other notice that the City deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in the Property and the Development.

MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATION OF THE
PROPERTY AND SECURITY
Section 2.1 Maintenance and Modification of the Property by Trustor.
The Trustor agrees that at all times prior to full payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, the Trustor will, at the Trustor's own expense, maintain, preserve and keep the Security or cause the Security to be maintained and preserved in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The Trustor will from time to time make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and renewals deemed proper and necessary by it. The Beneficiary shall have no responsibility in any of these matters or for the making of improvements or additions to the Security.
Trustor agrees to pay fully and discharge (or cause to be paid fully and discharged) all claims for labor done and for material and services furnished in connection with the Security, diligently to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation of labor on the work or construction on the Security for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more, and to take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the Security of any part thereof. Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other notice that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and to the Security or the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall exercise its rights as agent of Trustor only in the event that Trustor shall fail to take, or shall fail to diligently continue to take, those actions as hereinbefore provided.
Upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall make or cause to be made such demands or claims as Beneficiary shall specify upon laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or other persons who have furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services or materials in connection with the Security. Nothing herein contained shall require Trustor to pay any claims for labor, materials or services which Trustor in good faith disputes and is diligently contesting provided that Trustor shall, within thirty (30) days after the filing of any claim of lien, record in the Office of the Recorder of Alameda County, a surety bond in an amount 1 and 1/2 times the amount of such claim item to protect against a claim of lien.
Section 2.2 Granting of Easements.

Attachment 2

Section 2.3 Assignment of Rents.
As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents and revenues of the Property including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor to apply the rents and revenues so collected to the Secured Obligations with the balance, so long as no such breach has occurred, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this Section 2.3 as the same becomes due and payable, including but not limited to rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor shall contain a statement that Beneficiary exercises its rights to such rents.
Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Trustor's breach by Beneficiary to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, that Trustor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor further covenant that Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to
Attachment 2
211
6 perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.
All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Trustor as lessor or landlord of the Property and then to the sums secured by this deed of Trust. Beneficiary or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received. Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Beneficiary under this Section 2.3.
If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such purposes shall become part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Unless Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Beneficiary or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Beneficiary under applicable law or provided herein. This assignment of rents of the Property shall terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure the Secured Obligations.

Attachment 2
212
7 proceedings, and (b) Trustor maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested pursuant to this Section 3.1. With respect to taxes, special assessments or other similar governmental charges, Trustor shall pay such amount in full prior to the attachment of any lien therefor on any part of the Security; provided, however, if such taxes, assessments or charges may be paid in installments, Trustor may pay in such installments. Except as provided in clause (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall not be construed to require that Trustor maintain a reserve account, escrow account, impound account or other similar account for the payment of future taxes, assessments, charges and levies.
In the event that Trustor shall fail to pay any of the foregoing items required by this Section to be paid by Trustor, Beneficiary may (but shall be under no obligation to) pay the same, after the Beneficiary has notified the Trustor of such failure to pay and the Trustor fails to fully pay such items within seven (7) business days after receipt of such notice. Any amount so advanced therefor by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date of such advance at the maximum rate permitted by law, shall become part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and Trustor agrees to pay all such amounts.
Section 3.2 Provisions Respecting Insurance.
Trustor agrees to provide insurance conforming in all respects to that required under the Loan Documents during the course of construction and following completion, and at all times until all amounts secured by this Deed of Trust have been paid and all Secured Obligations secured hereunder fulfilled, and this Deed of Trust reconveyed.
All such insurance policies and coverages shall be maintained at Trustor's sole cost and expense. Certificates of insurance for all of the above insurance policies, showing the same to be in full force and effect, shall be delivered to the Beneficiary upon demand therefor at any time prior to Trustor's satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Section 3.3 Advances.
In the event the Trustor shall fail to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Deed of Trust or shall fail to keep the Security in accordance with the Loan Documents, the Beneficiary, after at least seven (7) days prior notice to Trustor, may (but shall be under no obligation to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or may make such repairs or replacements as are necessary and provide for payment thereof; and all amounts so advanced therefor by the Beneficiary shall become part of the Secured Obligations (together with interest as set forth below) and shall be secured hereby, which amounts the Trustor agrees to pay on the demand of the Beneficiary, and if not so paid, shall bear interest from the date of the advance at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.

The Beneficiary is authorized and empowered (but not required) to collect and receive any Funds and is authorized to apply them in whole or in part upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order and manner as the Beneficiary shall determine at its sole option. The Beneficiary shall be entitled to settle and adjust all claims under insurance policies provided under this Deed of Trust and may deduct and retain from the proceeds of such insurance the amount of all expenses incurred by it in connection with any such settlement or adjustment. All or any part of the amounts so collected and recovered by the Beneficiary may be released to Trustor upon such conditions as the Beneficiary may impose for its disposition. Application of all or any part of the Funds collected and received by the Beneficiary or the release thereof shall not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust. The rights of the Beneficiary under this Section 4.1 are subject to the rights of any senior mortgage lender. The Beneficiary shall release the Funds to Trustor to be used to reconstruct the improvements on the Property provided that Beneficiary reasonably determines that Trustor (taking into account the Funds) has sufficient funds to rebuild the improvements in substantially the form they existed prior to the casualty or condemnation.

ARTICLE 6
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Trustor shall keep and maintain the Property in compliance with, and shall not cause or permit the Property to be in violation of any federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental conditions ("Environmental Laws") on, under or about the Property including, but not limited to, soil and ground water conditions.
Trustor shall not use, generate, manufacture, store or dispose of on, under, or about the Property or transport to or from the Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, including without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances," hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," or "toxic substances" under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Hazardous Materials") except (a) as permitted under Environmental Laws; or (b) such of the foregoing as may be customarily used in construction or operation of a multi-family residential development.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written notice of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"); and (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Materials Claims").
Beneficiary shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims.
Beneficiary shall have its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by Trustor, provided Trustor has failed, based on reasonable evidence produced by Beneficiary, to adequately defend such Hazardous Materials Claims. Trustor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Beneficiary and its councilmembers, supervisors, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property, including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential damages; (b) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (c) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with clauses (a) and (b), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and consultant's fees. This indemnification applies whether or not any government agency has issued a cleanup order. Losses, claims, costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this indemnification provision include, but are not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Property; (2) loss or restriction of use of rentable space on the Property; (3) adverse effect on the marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (4) penalties and fines levied by, and remedial or enforcement actions of any kind issued by
Attachment 2
216
11 any regulatory agency (including but not limited to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and surrounding properties).
Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, Trustor shall not take any Environmental Measure or other remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgement, impair the value of the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor shall notify Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Trustor establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to by Beneficiary.
The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or
Attachment 2
217
12 threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the default rate specified in the Loan Agreement until paid, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be due and payable to the Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.
ARTICLE 7

The following shall constitute events of default ("Events of Default") following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods: (1) failure to make any payment to be paid by Trustor under the Loan Documents; (2) failure to observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements or obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the provisions concerning discrimination; (3) failure to make any payment or observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements, or obligations under any other debt instrument or regulatory agreement secured by the Property, which default shall not be cured within the times and in the manner provided therein; or (4) a default is declared under the Approved Financing by the lender of such Approved Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Beneficiary hereby agrees that any cure of any default made or tendered by one or more of Trustor's limited partners shall be deemed a cure by the Trustor and shall be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made or tendered by Trustor. Copies of all notices which are sent to Trustor hereunder shall be sent to Investor Limited Partner at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, and the Investor Limited Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure an Event of Default hereunder, and Beneficiary will accept tender of such cure as if delivered by Trustor.
Section 7.2 Acceleration of Maturity.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at the option of the Beneficiary, the amount of any payment related to the Event of Default and all unpaid Secured Obligations shall immediately become due and payable, upon written notice by the Beneficiary to the Trustor (or automatically where so specified in the Loan Documents), and no omission on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right.
Section 7.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of
Attachment 2
218
13 the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Sale (as defined below) hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such Event of Default or pursuant to such Notice of Sale, and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof; (c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the Security to be sold ("Notice of Sale"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in the Official Records of Alameda County; or
(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing the Secured Obligations.
Section 7.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee the Notice of Sale and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which shall be deemed to constitute evidence that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable), and such receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(a) Upon receipt of the Notice of Sale from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Sale as then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the Notice of Sale, whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient and in such order as it may determine unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale. (b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds
Attachment 2
219
14 of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other Secured Obligations owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to Trustor.
(c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new Notice of Sale.
Section 7.5 Receiver.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.7 No Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary.
Beneficiary's express or implied consent to breach, or waiver of, any obligation of the Trustor hereunder shall not be deemed or construed to be a consent to any subsequent breach, or further waiver, of such obligation or of any other obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the part of the Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default by the Trustor.
(b) If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, (ii) takes other or additional security or the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or
Attachment 2
220
15 otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents, (v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (vi) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any other obligation of the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor shall any such act or omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by the Beneficiary shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby.
Section 7.8 Suits to Protect the Security.
The Beneficiary shall have power to (a) institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Security and the rights of the Beneficiary as may be unlawful or any violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) preserve or protect its interest (as described in this Deed of Trust) in the Security, and (c) restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement for compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security thereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of the Beneficiary.
Section 7.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Trustor, its creditors or its property, the Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by the Trustor hereunder after such date.
Section 7.10 Waiver.
The Trustor waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and nonpayment, protest, notice of interest on interest and late charges, and diligence in taking any action to collect any Secured Obligations or in proceedings against the Security, in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, endorsement or guaranty of this Deed of Trust.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Holder hereby agrees that any cure of any default made or tendered by one or more of Borrower's limited partners shall be deemed a cure by Borrower and shall be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made or tendered by Borrower.

MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATION OF THE
PROPERTY AND SECURITY
Section 2.1 Maintenance and Modification of the Property by Trustor.
The Trustor agrees that at all times prior to full payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, the Trustor will, at the Trustor's own expense, maintain, preserve and keep the Security or cause the Security to be maintained and preserved in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The Trustor will from time to time make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and renewals deemed proper and necessary by it. The Beneficiary shall have no responsibility in any of these matters or for the making of improvements or additions to the Security.
Trustor agrees to pay fully and discharge (or cause to be paid fully and discharged) all claims for labor done and for material and services furnished in connection with the Security, diligently to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation of labor on the work or construction on the Security for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more, and to take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the Security of any part thereof. Trustor irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Beneficiary as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest) with the authority, but without any obligation, to file for record any notices of completion or cessation of labor or any other notice that Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest in and to the Security or the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall exercise its rights as agent of Trustor only in the event that Trustor shall fail to take, or shall fail to diligently continue to take, those actions as hereinbefore provided.
Upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall make or cause to be made such demands or claims as Beneficiary shall specify upon laborers, materialmen, subcontractors or other persons who have furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services or materials in connection with the Security. Nothing herein contained shall require Trustor to pay any claims for labor, materials or services which Trustor in good faith disputes and is diligently contesting provided that Trustor shall, within thirty (30) days after the filing of any claim of lien, record in the Office of the Recorder of Alameda County, a surety bond in an amount 1 and 1/2 times the amount of such claim item to protect against a claim of lien.
Section 2.2 Granting of Easements.
Trustor may not grant easements, licenses, rights-of-way or other rights or privileges in the nature of easements with respect to any property or rights included in the Security except those required or desirable for installation and maintenance of public utilities including, without limitation, water, gas, electricity, sewer, telephone and telegraph, or those otherwise required by law, and as approved, in writing, by Beneficiary.
Section 2.3 Assignment of Rents.
Attachment 2
239
5 As part of the consideration for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents and revenues of the Property including those now due, past due, or to become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of the Property are payable. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents to collect the aforesaid rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents; provided, however, that prior to written notice given by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall collect and receive all rents and revenues of the Property as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary and Trustor to apply the rents and revenues so collected to the Secured Obligations with the balance, so long as no such breach has occurred, to the account of Trustor, it being intended by Trustor and Beneficiary that this assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Upon delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, and without the necessity of Beneficiary entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Beneficiary shall immediately be entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property as specified in this Section 2.3 as the same becomes due and payable, including but not limited to rents then due and unpaid, and all such rents shall immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Trustor as trustee for the benefit of Beneficiary only; provided, however, that the written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor shall contain a statement that Beneficiary exercises its rights to such rents.
Trustor agrees that commencing upon delivery of such written notice of Trustor's breach by Beneficiary to Trustor, each tenant of the Property shall make such rents payable to and pay such rents to Beneficiary or Beneficiary's agents on Beneficiary's written demand to each tenant therefor, delivered to each tenant personally, by mail or by delivering such demand to each rental unit, without any liability on the part of said tenant to inquire further as to the existence of a default by Trustor.
Trustor hereby covenants that Trustor has not executed any prior assignment of said rents, that Trustor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts or has not executed and will not execute, any instrument which would prevent Beneficiary from exercising its rights under this Section 2.3, and that at the time of execution of this Deed of Trust, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents of the Property for more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor covenants that Trustor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any rents of the Property more than two (2) months prior to the due dates of such rents. Trustor further covenant that Trustor will execute and deliver to Beneficiary such further assignments of rents and revenues of the Property as Beneficiary may from time to time request.
Upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may in person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Beneficiary's security, enter upon and take and maintain full control of the Property in order to perform all acts necessary and appropriate for the operation and maintenance thereof including, but not limited to, the execution, cancellation or modification of leases, the collection of all rents and revenues of the Property, the making of repairs to the Property and the execution or
Attachment 2
240
6 termination of contracts providing for the management or maintenance of the Property, all on such terms as are deemed best to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. In the event Beneficiary elects to seek the appointment of a receiver for the Property upon Trustor's breach of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in this Deed of Trust, Trustor hereby expressly consents to the appointment of such receiver. Beneficiary or the receiver shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee for so managing the Property.
All rents and revenues collected subsequent to delivery of written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor of the breach by Trustor of any covenant or agreement of Trustor in the Loan Documents shall be applied first to the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, receiver's fees, premiums on receiver's bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, taxes, assessments and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Trustor as lessor or landlord of the Property and then to the sums secured by this deed of Trust. Beneficiary or the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received. Beneficiary shall not be liable to Trustor, anyone claiming under or through Trustor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Beneficiary under this Section 2.3.
If the rents of the Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the rents, any funds expended by Beneficiary for such purposes shall become part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof. Unless Beneficiary and Trustor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Beneficiary to Trustor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in Section 3.3.
Any entering upon and taking and maintaining of control of the Property by Beneficiary or the receiver and any application of rents as provided herein shall not cure or waive any default hereunder or invalidate any other right or remedy of Beneficiary under applicable law or provided herein. This assignment of rents of the Property shall terminate at such time as this Deed of Trust ceases to secure the Secured Obligations.
ARTICLE 3
TAXES AND INSURANCE; ADVANCES
Section 3.1 Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges.
Trustor shall pay, or cause to be paid, prior to the date of delinquency, all taxes, assessments, charges and levies imposed by any public authority or utility company which are or may become a lien affecting the Security or any part thereof; provided, however, that Trustor shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as (a) the legality thereof shall be promptly and actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and (b) Trustor maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested pursuant to this Section 3.1. With respect to taxes, special assessments or other similar governmental charges, Trustor shall pay such amount in full prior to the attachment of any lien therefor on any
Attachment 2
241
7 part of the Security; provided, however, if such taxes, assessments or charges may be paid in installments, Trustor may pay in such installments. Except as provided in clause (b) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall not be construed to require that Trustor maintain a reserve account, escrow account, impound account or other similar account for the payment of future taxes, assessments, charges and levies.
In the event that Trustor shall fail to pay any of the foregoing items required by this Section to be paid by Trustor, Beneficiary may (but shall be under no obligation to) pay the same, after the Beneficiary has notified the Trustor of such failure to pay and the Trustor fails to fully pay such items within seven (7) business days after receipt of such notice. Any amount so advanced therefor by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon from the date of such advance at the maximum rate permitted by law, shall become part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby, and Trustor agrees to pay all such amounts.
Section 3.2 Provisions Respecting Insurance.
Trustor agrees to provide insurance conforming in all respects to that required under the Loan Documents during the course of construction and following completion, and at all times until all amounts secured by this Deed of Trust have been paid and all Secured Obligations secured hereunder fulfilled, and this Deed of Trust reconveyed.
All such insurance policies and coverages shall be maintained at Trustor's sole cost and expense. Certificates of insurance for all of the above insurance policies, showing the same to be in full force and effect, shall be delivered to the Beneficiary upon demand therefor at any time prior to Trustor's satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Section 3.3 Advances.
In the event the Trustor shall fail to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Deed of Trust or shall fail to keep the Security in accordance with the Loan Documents, the Beneficiary, after at least seven (7) days prior notice to Trustor, may (but shall be under no obligation to) take out the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or may make such repairs or replacements as are necessary and provide for payment thereof; and all amounts so advanced therefor by the Beneficiary shall become part of the Secured Obligations (together with interest as set forth below) and shall be secured hereby, which amounts the Trustor agrees to pay on the demand of the Beneficiary, and if not so paid, shall bear interest from the date of the advance at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.

The Beneficiary is authorized and empowered (but not required) to collect and receive any Funds and is authorized to apply them in whole or in part upon any indebtedness or obligation secured hereby, in such order and manner as the Beneficiary shall determine at its sole option. The Beneficiary shall be entitled to settle and adjust all claims under insurance policies provided under this Deed of Trust and may deduct and retain from the proceeds of such insurance the amount of all expenses incurred by it in connection with any such settlement or adjustment. All or any part of the amounts so collected and recovered by the Beneficiary may be released to Trustor upon such conditions as the Beneficiary may impose for its disposition. Application of all or any part of the Funds collected and received by the Beneficiary or the release thereof shall not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust. The rights of the Beneficiary under this Section 4.1 are subject to the rights of any senior mortgage lender. The Beneficiary shall release the Funds to Trustor to be used to reconstruct the improvements on the Property provided that Beneficiary reasonably determines that Trustor (taking into account the Funds) has sufficient funds to rebuild the improvements in substantially the form they existed prior to the casualty or condemnation.

Trustor shall keep and maintain the Property in compliance with, and shall not cause or permit the Property to be in violation of any federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations
Attachment 2
244
10 relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental conditions ("Environmental Laws") on, under or about the Property including, but not limited to, soil and ground water conditions.
Trustor shall not use, generate, manufacture, store or dispose of on, under, or about the Property or transport to or from the Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, including without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances," hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," or "toxic substances" under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Hazardous Materials") except (a) as permitted under Environmental Laws; or (b) such of the foregoing as may be customarily used in construction or operation of a multi-family residential development.
Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written notice of (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"); and (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Materials Claims").
Beneficiary shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims.
Beneficiary shall have its reasonable attorneys' fees in connection therewith paid by Trustor, provided Trustor has failed, based on reasonable evidence produced by Beneficiary, to adequately defend such Hazardous Materials Claims. Trustor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Beneficiary and its councilmembers, supervisors, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use, generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property, including without limitation: (a) all foreseeable consequential damages; (b) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial or other required plans; and (c) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with clauses (a) and (b), including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and consultant's fees. This indemnification applies whether or not any government agency has issued a cleanup order. Losses, claims, costs, suits, liability, and expenses covered by this indemnification provision include, but are not limited to: (1) losses attributable to diminution in the value of the Property; (2) loss or restriction of use of rentable space on the Property; (3) adverse effect on the marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (4) penalties and fines levied by, and remedial or enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency (including but not limited to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal, cleanup or detoxification of the Property and surrounding properties).
Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, Trustor shall not take any Environmental Measure or other remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's
Attachment 2
245
11 reasonable judgement, impair the value of the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor shall notify Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (iii) Trustor establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to by Beneficiary.
The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Article is intended as the Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property and (2) exercise (a) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to judgment, and (b) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor shall be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or should have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release. All costs and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorneys' fees, incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with any action commenced under this paragraph, including any action required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(b) to determine the degree to which the Property is environmentally impaired, plus interest thereon at the default rate specified in the Loan Agreement until paid, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be due and payable to the Beneficiary upon its demand made at any time following the conclusion of such action.

Section 7.1 Events of Default.
The following shall constitute events of default ("Events of Default") following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods: (1) failure to make any payment to be paid by Trustor under the Loan Documents; (2) failure to observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements or obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the provisions concerning discrimination; (3) failure to make any payment or observe or perform any of Trustor's other covenants, agreements, or obligations under any other debt instrument or regulatory agreement secured by the Property, which default shall not be cured within the times and in the manner provided therein; or (4) a default is declared under the Approved Financing by the lender of such Approved Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Beneficiary hereby agrees that any cure of any default made or tendered by one or more of Trustor's limited partners shall be deemed a cure by the Trustor and shall be accepted or rejected on the same basis as if made or tendered by Trustor. Copies of all notices which are sent to Trustor hereunder shall be sent to Investor Limited Partner at the address set forth in the Loan Agreement, and the Investor Limited Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure an Event of Default hereunder, and Beneficiary will accept tender of such cure as if delivered by Trustor.
Section 7.2 Acceleration of Maturity.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at the option of the Beneficiary, the amount of any payment related to the Event of Default and all unpaid Secured Obligations shall immediately become due and payable, upon written notice by the Beneficiary to the Trustor (or automatically where so specified in the Loan Documents), and no omission on the part of the Beneficiary to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a waiver of such right.
Section 7.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof) and of any of the Security, in its own name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Sale (as defined below) hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such Event of Default or pursuant to such Notice of Sale, and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, Beneficiary shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of
Attachment 2
247
13 Trust, or by law upon occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;
(b) Commence an action to foreclose this Deed of Trust as a mortgage, appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof; (c) Deliver to Trustee a written declaration of default and demand for sale, and a written notice of default and election to cause Trustor's interest in the Security to be sold ("Notice of Sale"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be duly filed for record in the Official Records of Alameda County; or
(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, in the instruments by which the Trustor acquires title to any Security, or in any other document or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing the Secured Obligations.
Section 7.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee the Notice of Sale and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and the deposit of which shall be deemed to constitute evidence that the Secured Obligations are immediately due and payable), and such receipts and evidence of any expenditures made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(a) Upon receipt of the Notice of Sale from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Sale as then required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Security, at the time and place of sale fixed by it in the Notice of Sale, whether as a whole or in separate lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient and in such order as it may determine unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient deed or deeds conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed or any matters of facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including, without limitation, Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale. (b) After deducting all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of Trustee, including costs of evidence of title in connection with such sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: (i) the unpaid Principal amount of the Note; (ii) all other Secured Obligations owed to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents; (iii) all other sums then secured hereby; and (iv) the remainder, if any, to Trustor.
(c) Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter, and without
Attachment 2
248
14 further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new Notice of Sale.
Section 7.5 Receiver.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without further notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under the Security, and without regard to the then value of the Security or the interest of Trustor therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Security (or a part thereof), and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives further notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases, and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Security, unless such receivership is sooner terminated.
Section 7.6 Remedies Cumulative.
No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Section 7.7 No Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Deed of Trust to the Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expeditious by the Beneficiary.
Beneficiary's express or implied consent to breach, or waiver of, any obligation of the Trustor hereunder shall not be deemed or construed to be a consent to any subsequent breach, or further waiver, of such obligation or of any other obligations of the Trustor hereunder. Failure on the part of the Beneficiary to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Beneficiary of its right hereunder or impair any rights, power or remedies consequent on any Event of Default by the Trustor.
(b) If the Beneficiary (i) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, (ii) takes other or additional security or the payment of any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Loan Documents, (iv) releases any part of the Security from the lien of this Deed of Trust, or otherwise changes any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements in the Loan Documents, (v) consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Security, or (vi) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under this Deed of Trust, or any other obligation of the Trustor or any subsequent purchaser of the Security or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor (unless expressly released); nor shall any
Attachment 2
249
15 such act or omission preclude the Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by the Beneficiary shall the lien of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby.
Section 7.8 Suits to Protect the Security.
The Beneficiary shall have power to (a) institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Security and the rights of the Beneficiary as may be unlawful or any violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) preserve or protect its interest (as described in this Deed of Trust) in the Security, and (c) restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement for compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security thereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of the Beneficiary.
Section 7.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting the Trustor, its creditors or its property, the Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Beneficiary allowed in such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by the Trustor hereunder after such date.
Section 7.10 Waiver.
The Trustor waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and nonpayment, protest, notice of interest on interest and late charges, and diligence in taking any action to collect any Secured Obligations or in proceedings against the Security, in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, endorsement or guaranty of this Deed of Trust.

SCOPE OF DEVELOPMENT
The project site is located within the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (amended on July 21, 2020). The site is conveniently located within walking distance to retail, amenities, and major transit stops including the BART West Dublin / Pleasanton Station. Consistent with the goals of the Specific Plan, Eden Housing is proposing to develop Regional Street to support 113 units of critically needed affordable housing that will serve low and extremely low-Income seniors (age 62+) in the City of Dublin. The project was developed consistent with the guiding principles for the Transit-Oriented District. No additional CEQA approval was required.
Eden's 113-unit senior community at 6543 Regional Street will include 55 studios, 57 one- bedrooms, and one unrestricted two-bedroom manager's unit. The studios and one-bedroom units will be restricted to senior households earning between 20 to 50 percent of Alameda County Area Median Income, as adjusted for family size. Eden currently owns and operates 4 properties in the City of Dublin, 3 of which are senior properties, including Valor Crossing, which is located within walking distance of the Regional Street site . Regional Street is anticipated to include open terraces on each residential floor, a community garden, and a pet relief area. Ground floor units facing St. Patrick’s Way will include outdoor patios and create visual connections to the street for residents. Each floor will also contain outdoor terraces for a distinctly residential feel for all residents to utilize. Other on-site amenities will include a laundry room and a community room with a kitchen. The building is designed to have a community room and lobby on the ground floor.
Regional Street residents in a PSH unit will also receive service and support on behalf of the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency for services including access to mental health, substance treatments, and medical services, as well as assists with applying for SSI and other benefits. This site is also conveniently located next to various public transportation options including BART West Dublin/Pleasanton Station.
The project has secured financing through Alameda County’s A1 program and the state’s Local Housing Trust Fund. Development staff applied for HCD No Place Like Home (“NPLH”) funds in 2022. If awarded, thirty-four units will be set aside as permanent supportive housing (“PSH”) for chronically homeless seniors with severe mental illnesses.
Development staff will apply for 4% credits and tax-exempt bonds.
