Re: Increase to Contract Rates - Recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on June 25, 2024
Greetings City Partner,
As we approach the end of Fisca l Year 2023-2024, the Riverside County Department of Animal Services, and all County departments, received strategic direction from the County Executive Office and Board of Supervisors (the Board) to increase rates by five percent on all contracts for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025. This includes all contracts w ith our partner Cities where the Department of Animal Services (the Department) provides field, shelter and/or licensing services to the City. The proposed contract rates for the upcoming fiscal year, as shown in the attachment to this letter, will be recommended to the Board on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. If adopted, the new rates will go into effect on August 1, 2024, unless otherwise indicated in a City’s service agreement. Starting in August, the billing statement will reflect the increase in contract rates. The first statement will be sent out in September and subsequent statements following thereafter. Please be advised, the Department will be offering one year contract amendments to all of our cities to continue providing services.
The County conducted a rates study and determined that implementing a full cost recovery approach was not the most reasonable option for our City partners . The fees would be substantially higher if the County were to adopt the full cost recovery model instead of the proposed five percen t increase.
Essentially, there would be a conside rable difference between the current amount pa id by the City and the amount that the City would pay under the full cost re covery model. County Board Policy No. B-4 requires that County departments recover the actual cost of providing services.
Finally, please be advised that the Department of Animal Services will soon be proposing amendments to Ordinance No. 534 and Ordinance No. 630. These Ordinance Amendments will streamline processes , increase efficiency, and update practices to be in l ine with what is practiced nationwide. We encourage your City to promptly adopt any revised versions of these County Ordinances once adopted by t he Riverside County Board of Supervisors.

During this fiscal year ( from July 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024), the Department of Anim al Services has impounded a total of 31,140 live and dead ani mals. To help d ecrease the amount of impounds at the shelters, the staff at Animal Servic es remain dedicated to reuniting pets with their owners a nd we encourage residents to do the same. Our shelter team works tirelessly to find loving hom es for animals promptly which reduc es their length of stay. In February 2024, the Department initiated the 5,000 Cat Challenge with the goal of saving the lives of an additional 5,000 cats. This initiative is intended to promote trap-neuter-return and shelter -neuter-return, the health of Riverside County cats and improve the outcomes . Other public provided s ervices that the department offers are mobile spay and neut er clinics, wellness clinics , and adoption events . The se efforts also help reduce costs for City partners , improve shelter conditions and lower euthanasia rates.
The County Department of Animal Services appreciates the opportunity to continue the positive partnerships that we have developed with your City. If you have any questions or want to di scuss this further, please contact Harold Jones at email: [email protected] or 951-903-0996 or T haiese Sermons-

Investment Policy Update
Prepared By:
Amanda Wells, Finance Director/City Treasurer
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends the City Council approve and adopt the revised administrative investment policy.
Summary
The City's Investment Policy (Policy) is an administra#ve policy adopted by City Council on an annual and as-needed basis. The purpose of the Policy is to provide guidelines for the investment of the City's funds based upon State law and prudent money management specific to the City of Eastvale.
The Policy applies to all funds and investment ac#vi#es of the City except for the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond documents, and any pension or other post employment benefits held in a trust that has a separate investment policy.
Background
The City’s contracts with PFM Asset Management LLC (PFM) for investment management and advising. Staff reviews the policy annually and reaches out to PFM for comments to ensure that the Policy is up to date with current California Government Code statutes. Policy updates are based upon the passing of Senate Bill 1489, which took effect on January 1, 2023 and Senate Bill 882, which took effect on January 1, 2024. Based upon PFM's review of the new Senate Bills, minor updates are included in the recommended Policy revision and are discussed in detail below. In addi#on, the Senate Bill 1489 lengthened the quarterly repor#ng deadline under Code Sec#on 3646 by 15 days, originally 30 days and now 45 days. For the past several years the city has been well within this deadline, as staff prepares monthly reports as a matter of preference. 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752

Sec/on VIII.B. Authorized Investments.
To avoid any uncertainty on how to determine a
security’s term to maturity at purchase, PFM recommends that the city add a paragraph to this Sec#on to explicitly state that a security’s term to maturity at purchase is measured from se>lement date. Senate Bill 1489 made explicit that an investment’s remaining maturity is to be measured from the se>lement date of the purchase to its final maturity. The Code had not previously indicated whether a security’s remaining maturity at purchase was to be calculated from the trade or settlement date.
Sec/on VIII.13. Asset Backed Securi/es (ABS).
PFM recommends the city update this Sec#on
to incorporate a minor Code revision that took effect January 1, 2024. Senate Bill 882, Local Government Omnibus Act of 2023, made various minor edits to state statues, including a change to Code Sec#on 53601(o). The Bill codified the common Code interpreta#on that mortgage backed securi#es issued by federal agencies are excluded from the Code’s requirements described in Sec#on 53601(o) for privately issued asset- and mortgage-backed securi#es. This change does not otherwise modify the Code’s or the Policy’s requirements for the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities.
A4achment A Glossary.
PFM recommends the city update the naming of financial reports in the Glossary to incorporate Governmental Accoun#ng Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 98, dated October 2021, which established the term “Annual Comprehensive Financial Report” and its acronym “ACFR.” The new term and acronym replace outdated instances of “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report” and its acronym “CAFR."
In addi#on to the recommenda#ons from PFM, staff made several changes to the internal controls, repor#ng, and policy review sec#ons to be>er align with current procedures. Finally, non-material updates to formatting and language were made throughout the document to improve clarity.
Environmental
Government investment policies are not considered a Project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no environmental review is required.
Strategic Plan Action - Priority Level: 1B
| Target #: 3
| Goal #: 9
Diversify and enhance revenue streams
Fiscal Impact
The changes to the investment policy are not material in nature and will not affect the investment returns the city currently receives.
Prior City Council/Commission Action
The most recent update to the investment policy was adopted by City Council on July 28, 2021.

RE: 2024 Investment Policy Review
At your request, we reviewed the City of Eastvale’s (the “City”) Investment Policy (the “Policy”) as part of the City’s annual review process. The current Policy is comprehensive and consistent with the applicable California Government Code (the “Code”) sections regulating the investment of public funds. We are, however, recommending the City update a couple of Policy sections.
Section VIII.B. Authorized Investments. To avoid any uncertainty on how to determine a security’s term to maturity at purchase, we recommend that City add a paragraph to this Section to explicitly state that a security’s term to maturity at purchase is measured from settlement date. This incorporates a Code revision made as part of Senate Bill 1489, which took effect January 1, 2023. This Bill made explicit that an investment’s remaining maturity is to be measured from the settlement date of the purchase to its final maturity. The Code had not previously indicated whether a security’s remaining maturity at purchase was to be calculated from the trade or settlement date.
Section VIII.13. Asset Backed Securities (ABS). We recommend the City update this Section to incorporate a minor Code revision that took effect January 1, 2024. Senate Bill 882, Local Government Omnibus Act of 2023, made various minor edits to state statues, including a change to Code Section 53601(o). The Bill codified the common Code interpretation that mortgage- backed securities issued by federal agencies are excluded from the Code’s requirements described in Section 53601(o) for privately issued asset- and mortgage-backed securities. This change does not otherwise modify the Code’s or the Policy’s requirements for the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities.
Attachment A Glossary. We recommend the City update the naming of financial reports in the Glossary to incorporate Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 98, dated October 2021, which established the term “Annual Comprehensive Financial Report” and its acronym “ACFR.” The new term and acronym replace instances of “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report” and its acronym “CAFR.”

CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-02
Subject
Investment Policy
Effective
Date:07/24/2024
The City of Eastvale has adopted the following policy for the investment of City funds.
I. Legal Authority
The authority governing investments for the City of Eastvale is set forth in the California Government Code, sections 53601 et. Seq.
The City Treasurer is granted authority to make investments on behalf of the City. Government Code Section 53607 states “.....the authority of the legislative body to invest or to reinvest funds of a local agency, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, may be delegated for a one-year period by the legislative body to the treasurer of the local agency, who shall thereafter assume full responsibility for such transactions until such time as the delegation of authority is revoked, and shall make a monthly report of such transaction to the legislative body. Subject to review, the legislative body may renew the delegation of authority pursuant to this section each year”
As permitted by Government Code 53601, the City Treasurer may delegate day-to-day investment decision making and execution authority to an investment advisor. Eligible investment advisors must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. The advisor will follow the Policy and such other written instructions as are provided.
Government Code Section 53649 states “...the treasurer is responsible for the safekeeping of money in his custody and shall enter into any contract with a depository relating to any inactive deposits which in his judgment is to the public advantage.” II. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the investment of the City’s funds based upon State law and prudent money management. This policy is designed according to the specific needs of the City of Eastvale. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while ensuring the safety of funds.
III. Scope
The Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the City except for the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond documents, and any pension or other post-employment benefit funds held in a trust that has a separate investment policy.
IV. Investment Objectives
The investment of the funds of the City of Eastvale shall be guided by the goals of safety, liquidity, diversification and return on investments in that order of priority.
1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Eastvale. Each investment transaction shall seek to ensure that capital losses are minimized, whether 333
CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-02
Subject
Investment Policy
Effective
Date:07/24/2024
from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk.
1. Credit Risk - Credit Risk; defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing only with issuers whose financial strength and reputation can be verified to be highly rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) and by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer would not unduly harm the City’s cash flow.
2. Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk, the risk of the market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates, shall be mitigated by (a) structuring the portfolio so that securities mature earlier than or concurrent with the timing of major cash outflows, thus eliminating the need to sell securities prior to their maturity; (b) prohibiting the use of leverage or margin accounts; (c) prohibiting the taking of short positions, that is, selling securities which the City does not own; (d) prohibiting the use of reverse repurchase agreements; and (e) prohibiting the use of “inverse floaters”. It is explicitly recognized herein, however, that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured loses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall investment return.
2. Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements.
3. Return on Investments: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the overall objective of obtaining a total rate of return throughout economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.
V. Standard of Prudence
The City Council, City Manager, and Treasurer adhere to the guidance provided by the “prudent investor standard,” California Government Code (Section 53600.3), which obligates a fiduciary to insure that “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
VI. Ethics and Conflict of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process will refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials will disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within their jurisdiction, and they will further disclose any large personal financial/investment 334
CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-02
Subject

Effective
Date:07/24/2024
positions that could be related to the performance of the City’s portfolio.
VII. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
If the City executes its own investment transactions, other than those investments purchased directly from the issuer, the City Treasurer will maintain a list of financial dealers and institutions qualified and authorized to transact business with the City.
The purchase by the City of any investment other than those purchased directly from the issuer, will be purchased either from an institution licensed by the State as a broker-dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code, who is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or a member of a Federally regulated securities exchange, a National or State Chartered Bank a Federal or State Association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or a brokerage firm designated as a Primary Government Dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank.
The City Treasurer will investigate all institutions that wish to do business with the City, in order to determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate to the City’s needs, and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in the City’s Investment Policy and any other guidelines that may be provided. This will be done annually by having the financial institutions submit in writing that they have read and will abide by the City’s Investment Policy and submit its most recent audited Financial Statement within 120 days of the institution’s fiscal year end.
If the City has an investment advisor, the investment advisor may use its own list of authorized broker/dealers to conduct transactions on behalf of the City.
Purchase and sale of securities will be made on the basis of competitive bids and offers with a minimum of three quotes being obtained, whenever possible.
VIII. Deposits/Authorized Investments
A. Deposits
Money deposited in State or national banks, State or Federal savings associations, or State or Federal Credit unions within the State must be collateralized in accordance with Government Code 53630 et seq.. The City Treasurer, at his/her discretion, may waive the collateralization requirements for any portion that is covered by federal deposit insurance.
The City shall have a signed agreement with any depository accepting City funds per Government Code Section 53649.
B. Authorized Investments
General guidelines that the City should follow in managing its investments are as follows:
• For those investment types where this Policy does not state an explicit maturity limit, no investment will be purchased which matures more than five years from the date of purchase without the prior approval of the City Council at least 90 days in advance. 335
CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-02
Subject
Investment Policy
Effective
Date:07/24/2024
• For purposes of compliance with this Policy, an investment’s term or remaining maturity shall be measured from its settlement date to final maturity. A security purchased in accordance with this Policy shall not have a forward settlement date exceeding 45 days from the time of investment.
• Maturities of individual investments shall be diversified, attempting to match, where possible, cyclical cash flow requirements.
• The use of callable securities is permitted.
To reduce overall portfolio risk while attempting to attain market value rates of return consistent with the primary objectives of safety and availability of funds, investments shall be diversified cross types of investments, maturities of those investments, and institutions in which those investments are made.
The City specifically prohibits investments in reverse repurchase agreements and derivatives (interest rate floaters, range notes, interest-only strips).
Permitted Investments Per City Policy:
Investments shall be made only in those instruments specifically authorized by California State laws (section 53600-53609), and to no greater an extent than those authorized by those laws.
Limitations on Investments:
The City will limit investments in any one issuer to no more than 5%, regardless of security type. The following are exceptions to the 5% limit: U.S. Treasuries, Federal Agencies, supranationals, and pooled funds (i.e., money market funds, local government investment pools, CAMP, CalTRUST, CalCLASS, and LAIF). Where this section specifies a percentage limitation for a particular security type, that percentage is applicable only at the date of purchase.
Credit Criteria:
Credit criteria listed in this section refers to the credit rating category (inclusive of modifiers) at the time the security is purchased. If an investment’s credit rating falls below the minimum rating required at the time of purchase, the City Treasurer will perform a timely review and decide whether to sell or hold the investment.
The City’s specific permitted investment guidelines are listed below.
1. U.S. Treasuries. United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of indebtedness, or those for which the full faith and credit of the United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest.

GLOSSARY
ACTIVE DEPOSITS: Demand or checking accounts, which receive revenues and pay disbursements.
AGENCIES: Federal agency securities.
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR): The official annual report for the City of Eastvale. It includes five combined statements and basic financial statements for each individual fund and account group prepared in conformity with GAAP. It also includes supporting schedules necessary to demonstrate compliance with finance-related, legal and contractual provisions, extensive introductory material, and a detailed Statistical Section.
ASKED: The price at which securities are offered.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES (ABS): Securities whose income payments and hence value is derived from and collateralized (or "backed") by a specified pool of underlying assets which are receivables. Pooling the assets into financial instruments allows them to be sold to general investors, a process called securitization, and allows the risk of investing in the underlying assets to be diversified because each security will represent a fraction of the total value of the diverse pool of underlying assets. The pools of underlying assets can comprise common payments credit cards, auto loans, mortgage loans, and other types of assets. Interest and principal is paid to investors from borrowers who are paying down their debt.
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCE (BA): short-term credit arrangements to enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial transactions. They are time drafts drawn on a bank by an exporter or importer to obtain funds to pay for specific merchandise. By its acceptance, the bank becomes primarily liable for the payment of the draft at its maturity. An acceptance is a high grade negotiable instrument. Acceptances are purchased in various denominations for 30, 60, or 90 days, but no longer than 180 days. The interest is calculated on a 360-day discount basis similar to treasury bills. Local agencies may not invest more than 40% of their surplus money in banker’s acceptance.
BASIS POINT: A basis point equals one one-hundredth of 1% (.01%).
BID: The price offered for securities.
BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES: All U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies are maintained on computerized records at the Federal Reserve now known as "wireable" securities.
BROKER: A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission paid by the initiator of the transaction or by both sides. In the money market, brokers are active in markets in which banks buy and sell money and in inter-dealer markets.

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CD): Time deposits of a bank or savings and loan. They are purchased in various denominations with maturities ranging from 30 to 360 days. The interest is calculated on a 360-day, actual day month basis and is payable monthly.
NEGOTIABLE CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT: Unsecured obligations of the financial institution, bank or savings and loan, bought at par value with the promise to pay face value plus accrued interest at maturity. They are high-grade negotiable instruments, paying a higher interest rate than regular certificates of deposit. The primary market issuance is in multiples of $1,000,000, the secondary market usually trades in denominations of $500,000, although smaller lots are occasionally available. As a matter of practice, only the ten largest U.S. banks, where there is a secondary market established for continued liquidity are considered for investment.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property which a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of public monies.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: Short-term unsecured promissory note issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are purchased at a discount to par value or at par value with interest bearing. Local agencies are permitted by State law to invest in commercial paper of "prime" quality of the highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical ratings as provided by Moody's Investor's Service, Inc., or Standard and Poor's Corporation. Purchases of eligible commercial paper may not exceed 270 days maturity nor exceed 30% of the local agency's surplus funds.
COUPON: (a) The annual rate of interest that a bond's issuer promises to pay the bondholder on the bond's face value. (b) A certificate attached to a bond evidencing interest due on a payment date.
DEALER: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling for his own account.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT (DVP): There are two methods of delivery of securities: delivery versus payment and delivery versus receipt (also called free). Delivery versus payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery versus receipts is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.
DEBENTURE: A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DISCOUNT: The difference between the cost price of a security and its value at maturity when quoted at lower than face value. A security selling below original offering price shortly after sale also is considered to be at a discount.
DISCOUNT SECURITIES: Non-interest bearing money market instruments that are issued at a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills).
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment funds among a variety of securities and issuers offering 342

independent returns.
DERIVATIVE: An asset that derives its value from another asset. For example, a call option on the stock of Coca-Cola is a derivative security that obtains value from the shares of Coca-Cola that can be purchased with the call option. Call options, put options, convertible bonds, futures contracts, and convertible preferred stock are examples of derivatives. A derivative can be either a risky or low-risk investment, depending upon the type of derivative and how it is used.
FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Guaranteed directly or indirectly by the United States Government. All agency obligations qualify as legal investments and are acceptable as security for public deposits. They usually provide higher yields than regular Treasury issues with all of the same advantages. Examples include Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Bank, FNMA (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac).
FEDERAL FUNDS: Non-interest bearing deposits held by member banks at the Federal Reserve.
Also used to denote "immediately available" funds in the clearing sense. "Fed Funds" also used to refer to these funds.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are traded. This rate is currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through open-market operations.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) : Consists of seven members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member while the other Presidents serve on a rotating basis. The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and sales of Government Securities in the open market as a means of influencing the volume of bank credit and money.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM: The central bank of the United States created by Congress and consisting of a seven-member Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., 12 Regional Banks and about 5,700 commercial banks that are members of the system.
INTEREST-BEARING ACTIVE DEPOSITS: Money-market accounts at a financial institution, (e.g., bank, savings and loan, credit union). These accounts are demand accounts (i.e., checking accounts) with restricted transaction activity.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash without a substantial loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those quotes.
LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund) : A special fund in the State Treasury which local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: A written contract covering all future transactions between the parties to repurchase--reverse agreements that establish each party's rights in the transactions. A master agreement will often specify, among other things, the right of the buyer- lender to liquidate the underlying securities in the event of default by the seller-borrower.
MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.
MEDIUM-TERM CORPORATE NOTES: Unsecured promissory notes issued by a corporation organized and operating in the United States. These are negotiable instruments and are traded in the secondary market. Medium-term corporate notes can be defined as extended-maturity commercial paper.

OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS:Purchases and sales of government and certain other securities in the open market by the New York Federal Reserve Bank, as directed by the FOMC, in order to influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases inject reserves into the bank system and stimulate growth of money and credit; sales have the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve's most important and most flexible monetary policy tool.
PASSBOOK SAVINGS ACCOUNTS: Similar to an inactive deposit except that the period of time is not fixed. The interest rate is much lower than for a certificate of deposit, but the savings account is more flexible. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn according to daily needs.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (RP OR REPO): A repo or reverse-repo is a short-term investment transaction. Banks buy temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling U.S.
Government or other securities with a contractual agreement to repurchase the same securities on a future date. Repurchase agreements are typically for one to ten days in maturity. The customer receives interest from the bank. The interest rate reflects both the prevailing demand for Federal funds and the maturity of the repo. Some banks will execute repurchase agreements for a minimum of $100,000 to $500,000, but most banks have a minimum of $1,000,000. A reverse-repo is exactly what the name implies.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby securities and valuables of all types and descriptions are held in the bank's vaults for protection.
SECONDARY MARKET: A market made for the purchase and sale of outstanding issues following the initial distribution.

Indebtedness covers all money owed to a firm, including margin loans and commitments to purchase securities, one reason new public issues are spread among members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily converted into cash.
WHEN-ISSUED TRADES: Typically, there is a lag between the time a new bond is announced and sold, and the time when it is actually issued. During this interval, the security trades "when, as, and if issued."

Effective Date:

The City of Eastvale has adopted the following policy for the investment of City funds.
I. Legal Authority
The authority governing investments for the City of Eastvale is set forth in the California Government Code, sections 53601 et. Seq.
The City Treasurer is granted authority to make investments on behalf of the City. Government Code Section 53607 states “.....the authority of the legislative body to invest or to reinvest funds of a local agency, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, may be delegated for a one-year period by the legislative body to the treasurer of the local agency, who shall thereafter assume full responsibility for such transactions until such time as the delegation of authority is revoked, and shall make a monthly report of such transaction to the legislative body. Subject to review, the legislative body may renew the delegation of authority pursuant to this section each year”
As permitted by Government Code 53601, the City Treasurer may delegate day-to-day investment decision making and execution authority to an investment advisor. Eligible investment advisors must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. The advisor will follow the Policy and such other written instructions as are provided.
Government Code Section 53649 states “...the treasurer is responsible for the safekeeping of money in his custody and shall enter into any contract with a depository relating to any inactive deposits which in his judgment is to the public advantage.” II. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the investment of the City’s funds based upon State law and prudent money management. This policy is designed according to the specific needs of the City of Eastvale. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while ensuring the safety of funds.
III. Scope
The Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the City except for the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond documents, and any pension or other post-employment benefit funds held in a trust that has a separate investment policy.
IV. Investment Objectives
The investment of the funds of the City of Eastvale shall be guided by the goals of safety, liquidity, diversification and return on investments in that order of priority.
1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Eastvale. Each investment transaction shall seek to ensure that capital losses are minimized, whether from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall 347
CITY OF EASTVALE
Administrative Policy
Policy No: A-02
Subject

Effective Date:

seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk.
1. Credit Risk - Credit Risk; defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing only with issuers whose financial strength and reputation can be verified to be highly rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) and by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer would not unduly harm the City’s cash flow.
2. Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk, the risk of the market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates, shall be mitigated by (a) structuring the portfolio so that securities mature earlier than or concurrent with the timing of major cash outflows, thus eliminating the need to sell securities prior to their maturity; (b) prohibiting the use of leverage or margin accounts; (c) prohibiting the taking of short positions, that is, selling securities which the City does not own; (d) prohibiting the use of reverse repurchase agreements; and (e) prohibiting the use of “inverse floaters”. It is explicitly recognized herein, however, that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured loses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall investment return.
2. Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements.
3. Return on Investments: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the overall objective of obtaining a total rate of return throughout economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.
V. Standard of Prudence
The City Council, City Manager, and Treasurer adhere to the guidance provided by the “prudent investor standard,” California Government Code (Section 53600.3), which obligates a fiduciary to insure that “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
VI. Ethics and Conflict of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process will refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials will disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within their jurisdiction, and they will further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City’s portfolio. 348

VII. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
If the City executes its own investment transactions, other than those investments purchased directly from the issuer, the City Treasurer will maintain a list of financial dealers and institutions qualified and authorized to transact business with the City.
The purchase by the City of any investment other than those purchased directly from the issuer, will be purchased either from an institution licensed by the State as a broker-dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code, who is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or a member of a Federally regulated securities exchange, a National or State Chartered Bank a Federal or State Association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or a brokerage firm designated as a Primary Government Dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank.
The City Treasurer will investigate all institutions that wish to do business with the City, in order to determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate to the City’s needs, and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in the City’s Investment Policy and any other guidelines that may be provided. This will be done annually by having the financial institutions submit in writing that they have read and will abide by the City’s Investment Policy and submit its most recent audited Financial Statement within 120 days of the institution’s fiscal year end.
If the City has an investment advisor, the investment advisor may use its own list of authorized broker/dealers to conduct transactions on behalf of the City.
Purchase and sale of securities will be made on the basis of competitive bids and offers with a minimum of three quotes being obtained, whenever possible.
VIII. Deposits/Authorized Investments
A. Deposits
Money deposited in State or national banks, State or Federal savings associations, or State or Federal Credit unions within the State must be collateralized in accordance with Government Code 53630 et seq.. The City Treasurer, at his/her discretion, may waive the collateralization requirements for any portion that is covered by federal deposit insurance.
The City shall have a signed agreement with any depository accepting City funds per Government Code Section 53649.
B. Authorized Investments
General guidelines that the City should follow in managing its investments are as follows:
• For those investment types where this Policy does not state an explicit maturity limit, no investment will be purchased which matures more than five years from the date of purchase without the prior approval of the City Council at least 90 days in advance. • For purposes of compliance with this Policy, an investment’s term or remaining 349

maturity shall be measured from its settlement date to final maturity. A security purchased in accordance with this Policy shall not have a forward settlement date exceeding 45 days from the time of investment.
• Maturities of individual investments shall be diversified, attempting to match, where possible, cyclical cash flow requirements.
• The use of callable securities is permitted.
To reduce overall portfolio risk while attempting to attain market value rates of return consistent with the primary objectives of safety and availability of funds, investments shall be diversified cross types of investments, maturities of those investments, and institutions in which those investments are made.
The City specifically prohibits investments in reverse repurchase agreements and derivatives (interest rate floaters, range notes, interest-only strips).
Permitted Investments Per City Policy:
Investments shall be made only in those instruments specifically authorized by California State laws (section 53600-53609), and to no greater an extent than those authorized by those laws.
Limitations on Investments:
The City will limit investments in any one issuer to no more than 5%, regardless of security type. The following are exceptions to the 5% limit: U.S. Treasuries, Federal Agencies, supranationals, and pooled funds (i.e., money market funds, local government investment pools, CAMP, CalTRUST, CalCLASS, and LAIF). Where this section specifies a percentage limitation for a particular security type, that percentage is applicable only at the date of purchase.
Credit Criteria:
Credit criteria listed in this section refers to the credit rating category (inclusive of modifiers) at the time the security is purchased. If an investment’s credit rating falls below the minimum rating required at the time of purchase, the City Treasurer will perform a timely review and decide whether to sell or hold the investment.

GLOSSARY
ACTIVE DEPOSITS: Demand or checking accounts, which receive revenues and pay disbursements.
AGENCIES: Federal agency securities.
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR): The official annual report for the City of Eastvale. It includes five combined statements and basic financial statements for each individual fund and account group prepared in conformity with GAAP. It also includes supporting schedules necessary to demonstrate compliance with finance-related, legal and contractual provisions, extensive introductory material, and a detailed Statistical Section.
ASKED: The price at which securities are offered.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES (ABS): Securities whose income payments and hence value is derived from and collateralized (or "backed") by a specified pool of underlying assets which are receivables. Pooling the assets into financial instruments allows them to be sold to general investors, a process called securitization, and allows the risk of investing in the underlying assets to be diversified because each security will represent a fraction of the total value of the diverse pool of underlying assets. The pools of underlying assets can comprise common payments credit cards, auto loans, mortgage loans, and other types of assets. Interest and principal is paid to investors from borrowers who are paying down their debt.
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCE (BA): short-term credit arrangements to enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial transactions. They are time drafts drawn on a bank by an exporter or importer to obtain funds to pay for specific merchandise. By its acceptance, the bank becomes primarily liable for the payment of the draft at its maturity. An acceptance is a high grade negotiable instrument. Acceptances are purchased in various denominations for 30, 60, or 90 days, but no longer than 180 days. The interest is calculated on a 360-day discount basis similar to treasury bills. Local agencies may not invest more than 40% of their surplus money in banker’s acceptance.
BASIS POINT: A basis point equals one one-hundredth of 1% (.01%).
BID: The price offered for securities.
BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES: All U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies are maintained on computerized records at the Federal Reserve now known as "wireable" securities.
BROKER: A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission paid by the initiator of the transaction or by both sides. In the money market, brokers are active in markets in which banks buy and sell money and in inter-dealer markets.

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CD): Time deposits of a bank or savings and loan. They are purchased in various denominations with maturities ranging from 30 to 360 days. The interest is calculated on a 360-day, actual day month basis and is payable monthly.
NEGOTIABLE CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT: Unsecured obligations of the financial institution, bank or savings and loan, bought at par value with the promise to pay face value plus accrued interest at maturity. They are high-grade negotiable instruments, paying a higher interest rate than regular certificates of deposit. The primary market issuance is in multiples of $1,000,000, the secondary market usually trades in denominations of $500,000, although smaller lots are occasionally available. As a matter of practice, only the ten largest U.S. banks, where there is a secondary market established for continued liquidity are considered for investment.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property which a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of public monies.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: Short-term unsecured promissory note issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are purchased at a discount to par value or at par value with interest bearing. Local agencies are permitted by State law to invest in commercial paper of "prime" quality of the highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical ratings as provided by Moody's Investor's Service, Inc., or Standard and Poor's Corporation. Purchases of eligible commercial paper may not exceed 270 days maturity nor exceed 30% of the local agency's surplus funds.
COUPON: (a) The annual rate of interest that a bond's issuer promises to pay the bondholder on the bond's face value. (b) A certificate attached to a bond evidencing interest due on a payment date.
DEALER: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling for his own account.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT (DVP): There are two methods of delivery of securities: delivery versus payment and delivery versus receipt (also called free). Delivery versus payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery versus receipts is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.
DEBENTURE: A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DISCOUNT: The difference between the cost price of a security and its value at maturity when quoted at lower than face value. A security selling below original offering price shortly after sale also is considered to be at a discount.
DISCOUNT SECURITIES: Non-interest bearing money market instruments that are issued at a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills).
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment funds among a variety of securities and issuers offering 356

independent returns.
DERIVATIVE: An asset that derives its value from another asset. For example, a call option on the stock of Coca-Cola is a derivative security that obtains value from the shares of Coca-Cola that can be purchased with the call option. Call options, put options, convertible bonds, futures contracts, and convertible preferred stock are examples of derivatives. A derivative can be either a risky or low-risk investment, depending upon the type of derivative and how it is used.
FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Guaranteed directly or indirectly by the United States Government. All agency obligations qualify as legal investments and are acceptable as security for public deposits. They usually provide higher yields than regular Treasury issues with all of the same advantages. Examples include Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Bank, FNMA (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac).
FEDERAL FUNDS: Non-interest bearing deposits held by member banks at the Federal Reserve.
Also used to denote "immediately available" funds in the clearing sense. "Fed Funds" also used to refer to these funds.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are traded. This rate is currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through open-market operations.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) : Consists of seven members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member while the other Presidents serve on a rotating basis. The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and sales of Government Securities in the open market as a means of influencing the volume of bank credit and money.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM: The central bank of the United States created by Congress and consisting of a seven-member Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., 12 Regional Banks and about 5,700 commercial banks that are members of the system.
INTEREST-BEARING ACTIVE DEPOSITS: Money-market accounts at a financial institution, (e.g., bank, savings and loan, credit union). These accounts are demand accounts (i.e., checking accounts) with restricted transaction activity.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash without a substantial loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those quotes.
LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund) : A special fund in the State Treasury which local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: A written contract covering all future transactions between the parties to repurchase--reverse agreements that establish each party's rights in the transactions.

OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS: Purchases and sales of government and certain other securities in the open market by the New York Federal Reserve Bank, as directed by the FOMC, in order to influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases inject reserves into the bank system and stimulate growth of money and credit; sales have the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve's most important and most flexible monetary policy tool.
PASSBOOK SAVINGS ACCOUNTS: Similar to an inactive deposit except that the period of time is not fixed. The interest rate is much lower than for a certificate of deposit, but the savings account is more flexible. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn according to daily needs.

**For the purpose of this schedule, budgetary fund balance is estimated. Estimated fund balance in the far right column is defined as revenues minus expenditures. For the city's two major funds, fund balance is further broken down by the five categories of fund balance, nonspendable, restricted, assigned, committed, and unassigned located in the bottom portion of the schedule. Adequate fund balance is available in the General Fund to cover any negative fund balances in the city's reimbursable grant funds and special financing district funds.

Prepared By:
Amanda Wells, Finance Director/City Treasurer
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council:

Summary
The city is currently in the planning phase for the Civic Center project, consis3ng of a 50,000 square foot City Hall, 25,000 square foot library, 22,000 square foot police sta3on, 2 acre park, and open space surrounding the project. Although total reserves for the first phase of the project currently stand at $103.4 million, the project is es3mated to total up to $200 million. As a result, the city will need to secure debt to finance the project. In order to secure debt, the city requires specific bond and disclosure legal counsel to the lead the city through the process in conjunc3on with the city's municipal advisor. In January 2023 the city awarded a professional services agreement to Urban Futures, Inc. to provide municipal advisory services for project financial planning and manage the debt issuance process. The project is nearing the financing stage and it is impera3ve the city secure bond and disclosure counsel. The city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Bond Counsel services through the city's municipal advisor, Urban Futures, Inc. on August 15, 2023 from qualified firms.
The RFP specifically sought professional services of bond counsel firms for the lease revenue 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |

financing for the city's Civic Center Project. The city requested applicants propose work plans for lease revenue financing for the project, with possible financing of up to $90 million in either a single issuance or multiple tranches.
Background
The city released an RFP for Bond and Disclosure Counsel for the Civic Center Facili3es Financing on August 15, 20232. The city's municipal advisor, Urban Futures, processed the RFP on behalf of the city and directly solicited six firms. The RFP requested each firm provide an explana3on of the firm's experience with general fund lease revenue bond/cer3ficates of par3cipa3on transac3ons and parking revenue bonds in California since 2018 and experience with similar size and scope transac3ons. Firms were also requested to list individuals providing bond and disclosure counsel services, with a caveat that individuals must remain constant during the term of the engagement.
Finally, firms were requested to submit a work plan tailored to the city considering that the city has not issued bonds previously.
The city received four proposals in response to the RFP from the following firms, listed in alphabetical order:
Hawkins, Delafield & Wood LLP
Jones Hall
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth LLP
Finance department staff in coordina3on with Urban Futures staff evaluated the proposals and rated the firms based on the firm's understanding of the RFP scope of work, innova3veness, quality of proposal, qualifica3ons, transac3on experience, proposed project work plan, and price in accordance with sec3on 4.06.090(b) of the city's municipal code. The scoring system was weighted as follows:
Scoring Criteria

(%)
Qualifications of Firm/Personnel
25 California COP/Lease Experience

15 Fees
10 Total
100
The city selected Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth base d on staff's ra3ng of the proposal in
accordance with the scoring criteria.
The ini3al contract period will be effec3ve July 24, 2024, for a period of five years. The total contract amount is $97,500, payable upon successful closing of bond financing. Bid prices would remain effec3ve and in force for the first two years of the contract period. If bonds are issued more than two years aIer the date of the agreement, the firm may propose an adjustment to the issuance fee.
For additional services paid by hourly rate, an annual CPI cap of 3.0% applies to hourly rates. 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with Stadling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth for two years. Should the Civic Center Project and debt financing process extend beyond two years staff will request an amendment to the contract for the not-to-exceed amount.
Environmental
Government financial planning ac3vi3es are not considered a Project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no environmental review is required.
Strategic Plan Action - Priority Level: 3
| Target #: 3
| Goal #: 10
Conduct financial planning for newly proposed infrastructure Fiscal Impact
The total fiscal impact of the approval of the professional services agreement is $97,500. Adequate budget was appropriated during the fiscal year 2024-25 budget process in General Capital Projects Fund account number 600-500-6650-95011-00000. It is likely that as the project progresses staff will request City Council to appropriate addi3onal funds from the $103.4 million reserve for professional services and construction related to the project.
Prior City Council/Commission Action
On January 11, 2023 City Council approved a professional services agreement with Urban Futures, Inc. for municipal advisory services related to the Civic Center project.

Ms. Legbandt is extremely well qualified to represent the City as Bond and Disclosure Counsel due to her personal experience representing California cities on lease revenue financings in California, as well as her demonstrated interest in helping the City navigate the Financing process to achieve its goal of developing a high- quality Civic Center to serve the residents of the City.

1 A. FIRM BACKGROUND
General Background. The Firm was founded in Newport Beach in 1975 and has had a municipal finance practice since 1978. The Firm’s approximately 115 attorneys practice public finance, public law, corporate law, real property law, employment law, securities litigation, business litigation, intellectual property litigation, bankruptcy, corporate taxation and white collar criminal defense. The Firm maintains offices in Newport Beach, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Westlake Village, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, Reno, Denver , Seattle and Austin. Thirty-three members of the Firm practice in the areas of public finance and general public law, making the Firm the second largest group of municipal finance attorneys in California. Twenty- one shareholders, two of counsel, eight ass ociates and twelve paralegals devote substantially all of their efforts to the Firm’s municipal finance practice. One shareholder and one associate of the Firm restrict their practice exclusively to the tax aspects of public finance, advising clients on the structuring of transactions and representing clients in the event that a transaction is audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The Firm’s public finance practice serves hundreds of clients.
The Firm’s size offers an advantage to clients for many reasons. First, the Firm has expertise in areas such as real estate, corporate securities/litigation (including former Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff attorneys with extensive experience representing municipalities in SEC investig ations), bankruptcy and general public law that can be useful in analyzing relevant issues for a bond financing. Second, the Firm’s size provides stability and assurance to clients that the Firm will be in practice to follow up on matters related to its services. This is critical to public agencies in an environment where bond issues require ongoing monitoring for federal securities and tax law compliance. Conversely, the Firm is not an international firm, so its cost structure allows it to provide services more cost-effectively than other firms. The full resources of the Firm are always available to the City.
The Firm’s bond attorneys are recognized experts in their areas and are often called upon to speak at seminars for public agencies and other munic ipal finance specialists, including seminars held by the League of California Cities, the Bond Buyer, the National Association of Bond Lawyers, the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission, the Association of California Water Agencies, the California Special District Association, the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers and others.
Public Finance Rankings. The Firm is a perennial leader in public finance, both in California and nationally.
In 2022, the Firm was the # 2 ranked Disclosure Counsel in the Nation, acting in such capacity in 170 transactions totaling over $14 billion. The Firm is typically ranked in the top 10 nationally in terms of top Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel and Underwriter’s Counsel. The Firm’s national rankings are extremely impressive considering that our attorneys practice in just a handful of western states, whereas most of the Firm’s competitors operate nationally.
For more than 15 years, the Firm has consistently been ranked among the top Bond Counsel firms in California, and in most years has been ranked among the top two or three, both in terms of dollar volume and number of transactions. The depth and breadth of our experience as Bond C ounsel is underscored by our recent history, as set forth below.

In each year since 2013, the Firm participated in more bond issuances in California as Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel or Underwriter’s Counsel than any other law firm. The Firm believes that being involved in so many transactions provides the Firm with greater breadth of experience and practical “know -how” than any of the Firm’s peers.
The Firm’s Experience with Lease Revenue Financings. For over a decade, the Firm has been the leader in the State among Bond and Disclosure counsel firms for general fund-backed lease financings. Since January 1, 2018, the Firm has acted as Bond Counsel on approximately 115 general fund lease revenue bond/certificate of participation financings totaling over $7.3 billion and as Disclosure Counsel on approximately 106 lease revenue bond/certificate of participation financings totaling over $6 billion. A list of these financings is available upon request.
Many of our lease revenue bond financings have involved the State Public Works Board (the “SPWB”), for which the Firm has been the lead Bond C ounsel for many years. Our work as Bond Counsel for the SPWB is directly applicable to the work for the City’s proposed Financing, as the SPWB financings involve abatement-style leases payable primarily from appropriations from the State’s General Fund.
The Firm also has considerable experience working with local issuers of lease revenue bonds and lease revenue certificates of participation. Vanessa Legbandt has served as Bond Counsel and/or Disclosure Counsel on 389
3 lease revenue financings for the cities of Bell (ongoing), Bellflower, Chula Vista, Costa Mesa, Cupertino, Fontana, Hercules, Los Angeles (ongoing), Malibu, Mission Viejo, Monrovia, Montebello, Pismo Beach, Pomona, San Francisco, Simi Valley, Taft and Thousand Oaks and the County of Los Angeles The Firm’s Experience serving as Disclosure Counsel . The Firm is one of the most experienced Disclosure Counsel firms in the State. In 2021 and 2022, the Firm was the top- ranked Disclosure Counsel in the State of California and in 2021, the Firm was the #1 Disclosure Counsel firm in the nation. Vanessa Legbandt has served as Disclosure Counsel to the City of Los Angeles on its four most recent transactions and as Co-Disclosure Counsel to the State of California with respect to its General Fund disclosure document, known as “Appendix A.” Ms. Legbandt has also served as Disclosure Counsel to numerous cities and other public agencies in connection with a wide variety of financings, including the cities of Apple Valley, Compton, Cudahy, Culver City, Cupertino, Goleta, Hercules, Mission Viejo, Monterey Park, San Diego and Thousand Oaks , the County of Los Angeles Redevelopment Refunding Authority, the Inland Empire Utilities Agency, and the San Luis and Delta -Mendota Water Authority.
The Firm advises all of its clients to adopt written federal securities law compliance policies and procedures.
In addition, the Firm provides federal securities law and disclosure training to key staff and officials of its clients.
Both of these efforts are a response to increasing regulatory activity in the public finance arena.
Disclosure Considerations Specific to the City. Because the City is a first-time issuer of securities in the public markets, the City’s Disclosure Counsel must be able to help the City craft clear, careful, concise, accurate, and balanced disclosure to help investors get a fair and accurate understanding of the City’s finances and operations.
The City does not have an existing disclosure document to update and Disclosure Counsel will start from scratch, reviewing publicly-available materials such as the City’s annual comprehensive financial report for recent fiscal years, the current budget, CalPERS actuarial reports, and other similar materials, t o prepare the initial draft of the official statement. City staff will then need to review and provide comments and updates, fill in any missing information, and provide Disclosure Counsel with any additional information that may be material to investors.
Certain aspects of the proposed Financing that must be carefully considered and addressed in the official statement, with the help of Disclosure Counsel, are discussed below:
Sales Tax Concentration. The official statement for the Bonds will need to accurately describe the concentration of the City’s sales tax revenues. Specifically, the official statement must describe the fact that approximately half of the City’s sales tax revenues are generated by Amazon’s operations in the City, the risks relating to that concentration, and that Amazon may leave the City or that other nearby cities may allege a right to receive a portion of those sales tax revenues . The official statement should also describe the strategies the City would use to mitigate such an occurrence, if needed.
Appropriations Limit. We understand that the cost to operate and maintain the Project will likely push the City’s appropriations above its Gann appropriations limit, as annually adjusted. The official statement will need to describe the status of the City’s appropriations limit, the necessity for voter approval every four years to maintain an increased appropriations limit, and potential related risks to the City’s operations.
Large, Complex Construction Project. Another aspect of the Financing that may be considered a “credit risk” by investors is the large, complex nature of the Project itself. As described in Section D., the City’s lease payments will not be legally due or payable until the Project (or usable components thereof) are complete. Thus, the official statement must describe the Project, the general contractor , material construction contract terms, the status of entitlements, permits, and other governmental approvals, and any reasonably-foreseeable risks that construction of the Project will not be completed on schedule. Any mitigating factors, such as liquidated damages provisions in the construction contract, should be highlighted in the official statement as well.
The selected Disclosure Counsel will serve a vital role in the City’s proposed Financing. We are confident we are the best qualified firm, and have the experience and capacity needed, to serve the City in this important role. 390
4 The Firm’s Experience in Tax Matters. We believe that the quality of our tax advice separates us from many of the other firms providing bond counsel services in California. The Firm’s Public Finance Tax Department is respected on a national level. This respect is due in large part to Carol Lew, Chair of our Public Finance Tax Department, and her work over the years with the National Association of Bond Lawyers, the ABA Committee for Taxation, and the Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (“IRSAC”). Ms. Lew regularly attends meetings at the national level to review newly proposed legislation and has an excellent relationship with individual IRS agents, enabling her to obtain informal guidance on an expedited basis.
Our Public Finance Tax Department is skilled in spotting issues and structuring transactions to ensure that all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are being followed by our clients. For example, because the City plans to include retail uses in the proposed Civic Center parking, it is important to carefully allocate cash expenditures to the parking structure (or a portion of the parking structure relating to the retail spaces) to avoid violating the IRS rules relating to tax-exempt Bonds. Vanessa Legbandt and Carol Lew assisted the City of Mission Viejo through a similar analysis in connection with Phase I of the Mission Viejo Civic Core project (described below in Section C.) and can guide the City through these decisions in connection with the Project.
We have also successfully represented many issuers both in targeted and random IRS audits. Because of our experience on these audits, we also have some practical advice that we share with issuers at the outset of a transaction as to how to be better prepared to defend an audit. We also assist issuers in establishing good post - issuance compliance procedures, which are now required by the IRS.
Expertise With SEC Enforcement Actions. The Firm has attorneys (including former SEC counsel) who specialize in regulatory compliance. This regulatory practice includes SEC enforcement actions. While historically there was not significant SEC enforcement activity in the public finance area, the SEC has become much more active in recent years, and appears to be targeting municipal issuers. The Firm has been engaged by various public agencies with respect to SEC enforcement and other actions. The Firm understands that SEC inquiries are rarely limited to the matters that are the initial subject of an investigation. Accordingly, the Firm can advise the City as to the full implications of receiving a request for information from the SEC.
The Firm’s Real Estate Expertise. In addition to our public finance experience, the Firm has substantial real estate experience. The Firm has a broad real estate practice representing buyers, sellers, borrowers and lenders.
From a general real estate perspective, we are experienced in evaluating all aspects of title in the lease leaseback process, and we advise many local issuer clients with respect to real estate matters. Lease revenue financings (including certificates of participation) and land -secured financings (such as assessment district and community facilities district financings) can i nvolve significant real estate and title considerations, such as valuation, use restrictions, and title insurance, with respect to which the Firm (Vanessa Legbandt and Sean Absher in particular) is well-equipped to advise the City.

C. RECENT EXPERIENCE – LEASE REVENUE BOND FINANCINGS
The Firm has very extensive experience serving as Bond and Disclosure Counse l on lease revenue bond financings similar to the proposed Financing. Two recent examples of lease revenue bond financings for which the Firm (Ms. Legbandt in particular) served as Bond and/or Disclosure Counsel are described below. 392
6 Mission Viejo Lease Revenue Bonds (Civic Core Phase 1). The Firm (Vanessa Legbandt and Nick Yeager in particular) served as Bond and Disclosure Counsel to the City of Mission Viejo in connection with the 2022 lease revenue bond financing of the City of Mission Viejo Civic Core Project (Phase 1—acquisition of real property and project design). This project is proposed to include a public promenade with retail components to be developed along the Oso Creek, extending up to the Mission Viejo Civic Center. The financing was structured using separate city-owned properties as the leased assets. This was necessary due to the fact that the financed “Phase 1” does not include the construction and development of the ultimate project , and the ultimate timing of construction was uncertain. The Mission Viejo Lease Revenue Bonds were issued in two series – one taxable and one tax-exempt – because a portion of the completed project is expected to be leased to private parties for retail and restaurant purposes. Vanessa Legbandt and C arol Lew met with the Mission Viejo Administrative Services Director, City Manager, and Municipal Advisor numerous times to help Mission Viejo determine the appropriate proportion of taxable and tax-exempt bonds. Ultimately, the financing was weighted mor e heavily towards taxable bonds and Mission Viejo plans, with the Firm’s expert advice, to re-adjust the split between taxable and tax-exempt financing components in connection with the financing of “Phase 2” of the Civic Core project (specifically, if Mission Viejo and the Firm determine that a larger proportion of the project will be used for eligible tax- exempt purposes than contemplated in the Phase 1 financing, then the Phase 2 financing will be weighted more heavily towards tax- exempt bonds, to save the city money).
Fontana Lease Revenue Bonds (Fire Station and Training Facility). The Firm also served as Bond counsel in connection with the issuance of 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds by the Fontana Public Facilities Financing Authority in the principal amount of $23,125,000 to finance a new fire station and fire training facility in the city of Fontana and to refinance prior 2010 bonds, which financed a prior fire station. To avoid the need to capitalize interest during the construction period, Fontana included the city’s police station as a leased asset along with the fire station financed in 2010 and the 2021 financed projects. The Fontana Lease Agreement provides for a streamlined process to release the police station from the financing leases once the 202 1 project is completed. Ms. Legbandt’s expert advice and legal drafting was crucial to ensuring that this beneficial structure will work to Fontana’s advantage, with minimal work required from Fontana staff to release the police station when the financed projects are completed.
D. CONSIDERATIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING BOND STRUCTURE We understand that the City currently owns very few properties, and that the one large property owned by the City (a parcel with one historic residential building on it) does not have sufficient value to support this approximately $97 million Financing and likely would not be considered an “essential governmental use .” Thus, as noted in the RFP, the City expects to fund capitalized interest for the Bonds. The City can consider the following structures or financing terms, which may be available to reduce financing costs and/or strengthen the credit for the Bonds:
Construction Contract Liquidated Damages. In California, cities are prohibited by Article XVI, Section 18 of the California Constitution from incurring debt payable in future fiscal years (the “Constitutional Debt Limit”).
Lease-leaseback financings are a recognized exception to this rule, on the theory that each year’s lease payment is only owed if and to the extent that the City has beneficial use and occupancy of the leased property during the applicable fiscal year. Because the Project itself is the only leased asset in the proposed Financing, the City cannot legally obligate itself to make lease payments during the construction period because the City will not have “beneficial use and occupancy ” of the Project until construction of usable Project components is complete. The City will need to deposit money with the bond trustee in an amount sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds through the date that is six months after the anticipated completion date (to account for construction delays). Bond owners will be taking the risk that construction of the Project is delayed by more than six months. (While the City may choose to make lease payments during the period before the Project is completed, it would not be legally required to do so.) The City can help to mitigate this Bond owner risk by including a liquidated damages provision in the construction contract that requires the general contractor to pay liquidated damages in an amount suffici ent to cover debt service on the Bonds (pro-rated) for each day that construction is delayed past the completion date set forth in the construction contract (or the end of the capitalized interest period). As noted in Section A., the Official Statement fo r the Bonds will need to disclose construction risk and the risk of construction delays; requiring 393
7 liquidated damages in the construction contract, and committing to deposit all liquidated damages payments with the bond trustee shows that the City has taken significant steps to mitigate this credit risk.
Capitalized Interest Fund. The Capitalized Interest Fund can be funded using moneys on hand (the City’s reserves) or Bond proceeds. The City has a significant fund balance reserved for this Project, with approximately $25 million in excess sales tax revenues coming in each year. Under federal tax laws, the Capitalized Interest Fund must be yield restricted if moneys on hand are used (yield restriction is generally considered to be an onerous requirement and will prevent the City from earning interest above the yield on the Bonds). If bond proceeds are used, the Capitalized Interest Fund will be subject to rebate (in which case actual interest earnings are calculated periodically and earnings in excess of the yield on the Bonds must be paid to the IRS (this process is generally easier to manage)).
An exception to the rebate requirement exists for tax -exempt financings in which all bond proceeds are spent within two years of issuance (meeting certain expenditure milestones within that period) . If these requirements are met, the City can keep the interest earnings in the Capitalized Interest Fund. We understand the Project schedule is anticipated to take more than two years and the City would need to issue multiple series of Bonds in a phased approach to take advantage of the two year expenditure rebate exception. At the July 26, 2023 City Council Meeting, Council Member Lorimore asked about phasing the bond financing to mitigate the downsides of being a “first time” bond issuer. Issuing the Bonds in multiple series over time could also enable the City to accumulate additional sales tax revenues to cash-fund a larger portion of the Project. However, we understand from the discussion at the July 26, 2023 meeting that City staff currently prefers to issue the full amount of Bonds needed for the Project in one issuance. This approach eliminates the risk that the City is, for unforeseen reasons, unable to issue the later series of Bonds needed to finance remaining Project costs (assuming the Project stays within budgeted contingencies). Issuing the Bonds in one, up-front issuance also minimizes costs of issuance and takes advantage of the municipal bond market at the time of issuance (there is no way to know where interest rates will be in the future). We defer to the advice and guidance of the City’s Municipal Advisor, Urban Futures, Inc., on this topic.
As Bond Counsel we would structure the Bonds in the manner selected by the City based on such advice.
Reimbursement Resolution. If any Bonds may be issued more than 60 days after hard costs are incurred for the Project, the City should consider adopting a “reimbursement resolution. ” As Bond Counsel, we would prepare a reimbursement resolution for the City’s use, if appropriate.
Additional Considerations: I nvestment Tax Credit for Solar Facilities. The Firm (Carol Lew in particular) has conducted significant research regarding the federal Investment Tax Credit which now permits local governments to receive direct payments from the IRS for expenditures on solar energy generation equipment and other specified project costs. Payments are reduced by 15% for qualified expenditures that are paid for using tax - exempt bond proceeds. Accordingly, if the Project includes solar facilities or other facilities eligible for Investment Tax Credit payments, the City may wish to allocate cash to payment of these costs (as opposed to Bond proceeds) to maximize the amount of the available payment to the City. We can help the City determine which Project costs are eligible for the tax credit and allocate bond proceeds to other Project costs.
E. PROPOSED WORK PLAN
The City has not previously issued bonds or incurred other debt obligations. As a result, there are certain preliminary matters to address, as described below. Vanessa Legbandt currently represents the Otay Mesa Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District, another first time bond issuer, and therefore has current, direct experience guiding a first -time issuer through the preliminary steps needed to accomplish a publicly-sold bond financing.
Formation of the Issuer Entity. In order to undertake a lease revenue financing, the City will need another entity to serve as the “counterparty” to the City’s lease-leaseback agreements. Typically, this is a joint exercise of powers authority (commonly known as a “JPA” or a “financing authority”), which is a public agency that can be formed by agreement of two public agencies under Government Code Section 6500, et seq. A JPA can issue bonds pursuant to authority set forth in the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The City can enter into the JPA 394
8 Agreement with a related City entity, such as a parking authority, which can easily be formed by the City. Various existing JPAs would also be willing to serve as the counterparty to the City’s joint powers agreement, for a fee.
Alternatively, the City could form a non- profit corporation to serve as issuer of the Bonds, or to serve as the counterparty to the lease-leaseback agreements to enable the City to deliver Certificates of Participation instead of Bonds. While this is an option, based on our understanding of the City and the proposed Financing, we believe forming a JPA as described above would be preferrable.
Debt Policy. Under SB 1029, which added subsection (i) to Government Code Section 8855, not fewer than 30 days prior to the sale date for the Bonds, the City must adopt a local debt management policy which must include all of the following: (A) the purposes for which debt proceeds may be used; (B) the types of debt that may be issued; (C) the relationship of the debt to, and integration with, the City’s capital improvement program or budget, if applicable; (D) policy goals related to the City’s planning goals and objectives; and (E) the internal control procedures that the City has implemented, or will implement, to ensure that the proceeds of the proposed debt issuance will be directed to the intended use. As Bond Counsel, we would work with the City and your Municipal Advisor to evaluate an existing debt management policy for compliance with SB 1029 or to develop an appropriate debt management policy for the City.
Disclosure Policies and Procedures. The SEC h
as made it clear that it believes any public agency issuing debt in the public markets (as is proposed for the Bonds) must have in place policies and procedures relating to initial disclosure practices and continuing disclosure compliance (“Disclosure Policies”). The City’s Disclosure Policies must provide for a robust disclosure process, ensuring that all City employees, consultants and contractors with relevant knowledge of the City’s finances and operations are involved in the disclosure process. Importantly, the City must actually be able to follow its adopted Disclosure Policies. As Disclosure Counsel, we would help the City prepare appropriate Disclosure Policies prior to distribution of the preliminary official statement for the Bonds to investors.
Federal S
ecurities Law and Disclosure Practices Trainings. The SEC has also indicted that it is important for staff and officials of public agencies issuing bonds in the public markets to receive training regarding federal securities laws and the issuer’s disclosure responsibilities. Prior to approval of the preliminary official statement for the Bonds by the City Council, we would provide a training for all City staff involved in the Financing and the preparation of the preliminary official statement , as well as a shorter, more focused training for the City Council (which can occur in an open session City Council meeting). These training are extremely useful and informative for anyone at the City that will provide information for the preliminary official statement, who will be involved in the preparation of the City’s continuing disclosure annual report or material event notices , and officials who may be seen by investors as having knowledge of the City’s operations and finances (i.e. the City Manager and Council Members).

G. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Firm does not believe that it or any of the attorneys listed in this Proposal has any arrangements or representations, formal or informal, with any party that might interfere with the Firm’s ability to provide independent and unbiased advice and recommendations to the City in performing the Firm’s role of Bond Counsel and/or Disclosure Counsel.
The Firm represents most of the significant underwriters doing business in California from time to time on matters unrelated to the subject of this Proposal. The Firm also represents various public agencies, including the County of Riverside and various public agencies in Riverside County, as B ond and/or Disclosure Counsel and on other matters from time to time. By engaging us, the City consents to such representation. From time to time these underwriters and public agencies may have interaction with the City and interests that are adverse to the City. We would not represent any such clients in matters for which we had been engaged by the City. In the event that we are acting as counsel on unrelated matters for any underwriter selected by the City for a financing, we will immediately disclose that fact to the City.
H. INVESTIGATIONS
Neither the Firm nor any of its principals has ever been the subject of any investigation relating to the municipal finance industry by the SEC, NASD, NYSE or any other State or Federal organization that oversees, regulates, licenses or is otherwise responsible for the municipal industry. 396
10 I. FEE PROPOSAL
If selected to serve the City as Bond and/or Disclosure Counsel for the Financing, we would propose the following flat fees:
Bond Counsel Fee Disclosure Counsel Fee Bond/Disclosure Fee $65,000 $45,000 $95,000
These proposed fees are based on our understanding of the complexity of the City’s finances, the work relating to the Financing being the City’s first publicly -sold bond issue, special disclosure considerations relating to the City and the Financing, and the relatively long schedule for completing the proposed Financing. The foregoing fees would be contingent upon the successful issuance of the Bonds and would apply to any Bonds issued within two years from the date the Firm is retained. We would request an opportunity to meet with the City to discuss adjustments to the fees for Bonds issued beyond two years, if justified by reason of increased cost to the Firm and the then prevailing fees for Bond and/or Disclosure Counsel services.
In addition to the fees set forth above, we would propose to be reimbursed for the actual cost of any out of- pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Firm in the course of its employment, such as document delivery and messenger fees, photocopying, electronic research and travel at your direction (at the then current IRS rate), and similar items of expense. We would agree to cap expenses at $2,500 per series of Bonds, exclusive of publication costs, title and escrow fees, and other costs typically paid as a separate cost of issuance.
For legal services outside the scope of normal Bond or Disclosure Counsel services or for services following the issuance of the Bonds, we would propose to be compensated at the hourly rate of $600 for shareholders, $380 for associates, $175 for paralegals and $150 for law clerks. These rates are significant reductions from the Firm’s “Design Rates” and are only offered to our public entity clients. Time is charged in increments of one -tenth of an hour. Such fees would be billed monthly.
J. CONCLUSION
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this Proposal to the City. We hope that we have conveyed the depth of our experience and the sincerity of our desire to serve the City as Bond and Disclosure Counsel. The undersigned is a Shareholder and Vice President of the Firm and is authorized to bind the Firm with respect to this Proposal. We would be pleased to provide any additional information or answer any further questions that you might have in selecting a Bond and Disclosure Counsel firm.

EXHIBIT "B"
COMPENSATION
For the Services to be rendered, the City agrees to pay to Contractor a flat fee of $95,000. Said fee shall be paid upon the successful closing of the Bond Financing.
The foregoing fees would apply to any Bonds issued within two years from the date of this Agreement for Services. Contractor may propose an adjustment to the fees for the Services to be provided under this Agreement for Bonds issued more than two years following the date of this Agreement, if justified by reason of increased cost to Contractor and the then prevailing fees for Bond and/or Disclosure Counsel services.
In addition to the fees set forth above, Contractor shall be reimbursed for the actual cost of any out of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Contractor in connection with the provision of Services, such as document delivery and messenger fees, photocopying, electronic research and travel at your direction (at the then current IRS rate), and similar items of expense. Contractor agrees to cap such expense reimbursement at $2,500 per series of Bonds, exclusive of publication costs, title and escrow fees, and other costs typically paid as a separate cost of issuance.
For Additional Services, we would propose to be compensated at the hourly rate of $600 for shareholders, $380 for associates, $175 for paralegals and $150 for law clerks.
Hourly rates are adjusted annually by the increase in CPI, up to 3% per year. Time is charged in increments of one-tenth of an hour. Such fees would be billed monthly.
Disclosure Regarding Contingent Fees. Contractor’s compensation for the Services described in Exhibit A above is contingent on the closing of the proposed transaction.
While this form of compensation is customary for bond and disclosure counsel services to public entities such as you, this may present a potential conflict of interest as Contractor could have an incentive to recommend to undertake the proposed transaction even if it is unnecessary or provides insufficient benefit. Typically your registered municipal advisor will provide advice with respect the economic benefits of undertaking a proposed transaction and, as detailed in Section 2 of the Agreement for Services, Contractor is not providing such financial advice with respect to the proposed transaction. This potential conflict is also mitigated by Contractor’s ethical duties to you.

(d) Representation is permitted under this rule only if the lawyer complies with paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), and:
(1) the lawyer reasonably believes* that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation is not prohibited by law; and
(3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal.
(e) For purposes of this r ule, “matter” includes any judicial or other proceeding, application, request for a ruling or other determination, contract, transaction, claim, controversy, investigation, charge, accusation, arrest, or other deliberation, decision, or action that is focused on the interests of specific persons,* or a discrete and identifiable class of persons.*

Background
The Engineering Department oversees the maintenance of the City's street system and assembles a capital project for the placement of Slurry Seal each year. The applica"on of slurry seal is considered a preventa"ve measure that is intended to prolong the life of the roadway by providing a wearing surface and sealing the exis"ng surface cracks from water. Slurry Seal is typically applied to, but not limited to, the residen"al streets. 2024 Residen"al Slurry Seal project will apply approximately 1.9 million square feet of slurry seal on designated streets throughout the City. The project loca"on was developed from the Pavement Management System (PMS), which is a tool that assists the City in making cost-effec"ve decisions related to the maintenance and rehabilita"on of roadway pavements. A PMS allows the City to maximizes the use of the limited funding by taking a comprehensive approach to managing the City's pavements instead of a worst-first pavement plan.
The City took a unique approach in that the benefit to cost ra"o was considered in a zone-basis instead of an individual street segment. This allows maximizing the efficiency by reducing the mobilization cost.
The call for bids was posted on the City’s website and City of Eastvale Vendor Portal through "PlanetBids" on June 17, 2024. The City received six (6) electronic bids by the July 8, 2024 deadline.
American Asphalt South submitted their bid via through PlanetBids. The bid results are as follows:
Name of Bidder
Bid Amount
American Asphalt South, Inc.
$912,027.45
Pavement Coatings Co.
$923,082.00
All American Asphalt
$925,035.25

$962,646.65
VSS International, Inc.
$1,053,120.00
Copp Contracting, Inc.
$1,079,171.00
AIer review of the bids received, staff has determined that American Asphalt South, Inc. is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a total bid price of $912,027.45. American Asphalt South, Inc. holds a valid Class A Contractor’s license in the State of California. American Asphalt South, Inc. has delivered successful projects to other agencies such as Ci"es of Murrieta, Temecula, Yorba Linda and more. As specified in the bid documents, the contractor must execute and return the contract, along with other specified required, within ten calendar days following receipt of the No"ce to Award. Construc"on is an"cipated to begin in late August 2024 assuming no complica"ons with the contract execu"on process. The contract allows for a total of 25 working days to complete the required work. The work is expected to be completed in October 2024. The staff will work with Communica"ons Division to send out construc"on no"ces for the closures associated with the construc"on. The contractor will also be required to no"fy all affected residents and/or businesses at least three days prior to slurry seal operations.

The plans and specifications for the Work are further described in the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Special conditions, if any, relating to the Work are described in the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
422
2 B. Change in Scope of Work Any change in the scope of the Work, method of performance, nature of materials or price thereof, or any other matter materially affecting the performance or nature of the Work shall not be paid for or accepted unless such change, addition or deletion is approved in advance and in writing by a valid change order executed by the City.

Contractor warrants that all employees and subcontractors shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform the Work assigned to them.
Finally, Contractor represents that it, its employees and its subcontractors have all licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals of whatever nature that are legally required to perform the Work, and that such licenses and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of this Contract. Any employee who is determined by the City to be uncooperative, incompetent, a threat to the safety of persons or the Work, or any employee who fails or refuses to perform the Work in a manner acceptable to the City, shall be promptly removed from the Project by the Contractor and shall not be re-employed on the Work.
SECTION 6. CONTROL AND PAYMENT OF SUBORDINATES; CONTRACTUAL

3 and obligations required by this Contract, the above referenced compensation in accordance with compensation provisions set forth in the Contract.
SECTION 8. COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT
A. Amount of Compensation. As consideration for performance of the Work required herein, City agrees to pay Contractor the Total Contract Price of Nine Hundred Twelve Thousand Twenty-Seven Dollars and Forty-Five Cents ($912,027.45) plus a 10% contingency of $91,202.75 for a total of $1,003,230.20 ("Total Contract Price") provided that such amount shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the applicable terms of this Contract or written change orders approved and signed in advance by the City.

If the Work is scheduled for completion in thirty (30) or less calendar days, City will arrange for payment of the Total Contract Price upon completion and approval by City of the Work. If the Work is scheduled for completion in more than thirty (30) calendar days, City will pay Contractor on a monthly basis as provided for herein. On or before the fifth (5th) day of each month, Contractor shall submit to the City an itemized application for payment in the format supplied by the City indicating the amount of Work completed since commencement of the Work or since the last progress payment. These applications shall be supported by evidence which is required by this Contract and such other documentation as the City may require. The Contractor shall certify that the Work for which payment is requested has been done and that the materials listed are stored where indicated. Contractor may be required to furnish a detailed schedule of values upon request of the City and in such detail and form as the City shall request, showing the quantities, unit prices, overhead, profit, and all other expenses involved in order to provide a basis for determining the amount of progress payments.
City shall review and pay all progress payment requests in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 20104.50 of the California Public Contract Code. No progress payments will be made for Work not completed in accordance with this Contract.
SECTION 9. CONTRACT RETENTIONS
From each approved progress estimate, five percent (5%) will be deducted and retained by the City, and the remainder will be paid to Contractor. All Contract retainage shall be released and paid to the Contractor and subcontractors pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 7107.
SECTION 10. OTHER RETENTIONS
In addition to Contract retentions, the City may deduct from each progress payment an amount necessary to protect City from loss because of: (1) liquidated damages which have accrued as of the date of the application for payment; (2) any sums expended by the City in performing any of Contractor's obligations under the Contract which Contractor has failed to perform or has performed inadequately; (3) defective Work not remedied; (4) stop notices as allowed by state law; (5) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Total Contract Price or within the scheduled completion date; (6) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by Contractor; (7) unauthorized deviations from the Contract; (8) failure of the Contractor to maintain or submit on a timely basis, proper and sufficient documentation as required by the Contract or by City during the prosecution of the Work; (9) erroneous or false estimates by the Contractor of the value of the Work performed; (10) any sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Contractor is liable under the Contract; and 424
4 (11) any other sums which the City is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Contract or pursuant to state law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to such sums.
SECTION 11. SUBSTITUTIONS FOR CONTRACT RETENTIONS
In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the City will permit the substitution of securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, and thereafter the City shall then pay such monies to the Contractor as they come due. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor. For purposes of this Section and Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code, the term "satisfactory completion of the contract" shall mean the time the City has issued written final acceptance of the Work and filed a Notice of Completion as required by law and provisions of this Contract. The Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. The escrow agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the form provided by the City.
SECTION 12. PAYMENT TO SUBCONTRACTORS
Contractor shall pay all subcontractors for and on account of work performed by such subcontractors in accordance with the terms of their respective subcontracts and as provided for in Section 10262 of the California Public Contract Code. Such payments to subcontractors shall be based on the measurements and estimates made and progress payments provided to Contractor pursuant to this Contract.
SECTION 13. TITLE TO WORK
As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the City at the time of payment. To the extent that title has not previously been vested in the City by reason of payments, full title shall pass to the City at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this Contract. Such transferred title shall in each case be good, and free and clear from any and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances.
Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items. Such transfer of title shall not imply acceptance by the City, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply with the Contract, and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to items.
SECTION 14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any separate demand by Contractor for the payment of money or damages shall be resolved in accordance with Public Contract Code Sections 20104 et seq., if applicable.
SECTION 15. TERMINATION

426
6 SECTION 20. LOSS AND DAMAGE
Contractor shall be responsible for all loss and damage which may arise out of the nature of the Work agreed to herein, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen difficulties which may arise or be encountered in the prosecution of the Work until the same is fully completed and accepted by City. However, Contractor shall be responsible for damage proximately caused by Acts of God, within the meaning of Section 4150 of the Government Code, only to the extent of five percent (5%) of the Total Contract Price as specified herein. In the event of damage proximately caused by "Acts of God," the City may terminate this Contract upon three (3) days advanced written notice.
SECTION 21. INDEMNIFICATION
A. Indemnification. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of or incident to any alleged acts, omissions or willful misconduct of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, agents, consultants and contractors arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all consequential damages and attorneys fees and other related costs and expenses. Contractor shall defend, at Contractor’s own cost, expense and risk, any and all such aforesaid suits, actions or other legal proceedings of every kind that may be brought or instituted against City, its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers. Contractor shall pay and satisfy any judgment, award or decree that may be rendered against City or its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers, in any such suit, action or other legal proceeding. Contractor shall reimburse City and its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents and/or volunteers, for any and all legal expenses and costs incurred by each of them in connection therewith or in enforcing the indemnity herein provided. Contractor’s obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by the City, its directors, officials officers, employees, agents or volunteers.
B. General Indemnification. Contractor agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance of this Agreement. In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others are required here, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth here is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section.
SECTION 22. INSURANCE
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds in excess of the limits and coverage required in this Agreement and which are applicable to a given loss, will be available to the City. Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of 427
7 insurance:
A. Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office “Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01 or the exact equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review but in no event less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for all covered losses and no less than $2,000,000 general aggregate.
B. Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event to be less than $1,000,000 per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor’s employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
C. Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or disease.
D. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages.
Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision providing primary coverage above a maximum $25,000 self-insured retention for liability not covered by primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a “pay on behalf” basis, with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating insurer at the time insured’s liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured first. There shall be no cross liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Contractor, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of coverage provided is subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Best rating of A or better and a minimum financial size VII.
E. General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contractor:
(1) Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do so likewise. (2) No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contractor, or Consultant’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
428
8 (3) All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
(4) None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved in writing.
(5) No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or any contractor or subcontractor. (6) All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent. (7) Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option. (8) Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. (9) It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.
(10) Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
(11) Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retention’s or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein except as disclosed to and approved by the City and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project 429
9 contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. City expressly approves maintenance by the Contractor of a $100,000 deductible on its current Professional Liability insurance policy.
(12) The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
(13) For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. (14) Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
(15) Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this Agreement.
This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason.
Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect. (16) Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
(17). The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
(18) Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
(19) These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
(20). The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement, except Exhibit “D” “Modifications to Contract Documents”, to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 430
10 (21) Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
(22) Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

Dust control shall conform to Section 10, “Dust Control”, Section 7-1.01F, “Air Pollution Control”, Section 17, “Watering”, and Section 18 “Dust Palliative” of the State Standard Specifications, Rules no. 401, 402, 403 and 403.1 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), Riverside County Code, Chapter 8.52, “Fugitive Dust Reduction Program For Coachella Valley”, all other applicable Federal and State laws, and the requirements set forth herein.
2. The Contractor is cautioned that failure to control fugitive dust may result in fines being levied by the South Coast Air Quality Management District to both the Contractor and the City of Eastvale, as owner. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for payment of all fines pertaining to air pollution control violations, resulting from Contractor’s operations related to the construction contract, which may be levied against both the Contractor and the City of Eastvale by the AQMD or other regulatory agencies. The Contractor’s attention is directed to Section 7-1.01, “Laws to be Observed” of the State Standard Specifications.
The cost of all fines levied against the City of Eastvale will be deducted from any moneys due or which may become due to the Contractor, unless other payment arrangements are made by the Contractor.
3. Dust control of all of the contractor’s operations is required 24 hours per day, 7 days a week for the duration of the contract, and until the disturbed soil is permanently stabilized.
The Contractor shall take every precaution to prevent emissions of fugitive dust from the project site, from locations of stockpiled materials, from unpaved driving surfaces, from haul vehicles, from inactive construction areas, and from all other operations of the Contractor. The Contractor shall plan for and carry out proper and efficient measures to prevent his operations from producing dust in amounts damaging to property or which constitute a public nuisance, or which cause harm to person living or working in the vicinity of the work. Of particular concern are emissions of PM10 particles, which are fine particulate matter of 10 microns or less and which are associated with sickness and death from respiratory disease.
4. The Contractor shall respond to complaints by mobilizing equipment and personnel at the construction site within 2 hours of each complaint to control fugitive dust.
5. Attention is directed to AQMD Rule 403.1, which applies to all contracts within the City of Eastvale. That AQMD Rule requires the Contractor to take specified dust control actions when prevailing wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour. Wind forecasts, AQMD Rules and other related information are provided by AQMD at 1-800-CUT-SMOG and at www.aqmd.gov.
6. The Contractor shall utilize the “Best Available Control Measures” of controlling fugitive dust, as prepared by the AQMD. However, if fugitive dust crosses the project boundary, more effective control measures, including the “Best Available Control Measures” shall be implemented.
7. A site specific fugitive dust control plan shall be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval at least 10 days prior to the start of construction.
8. The fugitive dust control plan shall include the “Reasonably Available Control Measures” and “Best Available Control Measures” of controlling fugitive dust, as may be appropriate and necessary, including by not limited to watering, application of chemical dust 440
20 suppressants, wind fencing, covering of haul vehicles, haul vehicle bed-liners, grading, planting of vegetation, the use of a 24 hour environmental observer, and track-out controls at locations where unpaved construction accesses intersect with paved roads. The use of chemical stabilizers, which are approved by all environmental regulatory agencies, and the use of reclaimed water is encouraged. If water is intended as a primary dust control tool, the dust control plan shall provide for at least one 2,000 gallon water truck for every 4 acres of disturbed soil, unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer.
9. If the Project Inspector determines that the project scope and the forecasted weather conditions are such that the Contractor’s work is unlikely to be a source of dust emissions, the Construction Engineer has the authority to waive the requirements for submittal of a dust control plan and for placement of the dust control signs described herein. However, the Contractors responsibilities for the control of fugitive dust and the other requirements of this section may not be waived.
10. A completion notice will not be filled, and the final payment will not be made to the Contractor until the areas of disturbed soil on the construction site, including roadway shoulders, are suitable stabilized for long term control of fugitive dust.
11. This signature of the Contractor on the Proposal constitutes acknowledgement by the Contractor of the dust control enforceability of those requirements.
12. Full compensation for conformance with these dust abatement requirements, including lab equipment and materials, developing water supply and incidentals, shall be considered as included in items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
13. The successful Contractor shall attend an AQMD PM10 Dust Control Program training session, and furnish evidence of attendance to the City Engineer. Attendance at AQMD training seminars can be scheduled the AQMD at 1-866-861-DUST or by email to [email protected]. Current AQMD certification of previous attendance will be accepted.

Approval & Adop*on of 401(a) Employer Sponsored Re*rement Plan
Prepared By:
Maricela Mejia, Assistant HR & Risk Management Director Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resoluon approving and adopng the 401(a) defined contribution plan and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents
Summary
The City’s Classificaon & Compensaon study, adopted May 2024, included the provision of a deferred compensaon match to encourage employees to save for rerement. The establishment of the 401(a) Rerement Plan allows the City to defer pre-tax employer contribuons to a rerement plan as a match to employee contribuons to their 457(b) plan. The 401(a) plan offers numerous benefits to employees including enhancing the team’s ability to save for rerement and achieve their financial goals, and serving to supplement the employee’s rerement savings, enabling them to save beyond their CalPERS Retirement Pension and beyond the 457(b)-plan annual limit.
Without the 401(a) plan, employees are limited in their ability to contribute to their rerement savings; they can only contribute the difference between the annual limit for the 457(b) plan, $23,000 for 2024, and the amount the employer contributes. This means that their personal contribuons are effecvely reduced by the employers contribuons, potenally liming their total retirement savings.
With a 401(a) plan, employees have the opportunity to maximize their rerement contribuons.
They can contribute the full annual limit to their 457 plan, without needing to account for the employer’s contribuons. This allows employees to fully ulize the maximum contribuon limits of 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |

The first step in the process to create a CFD was completed when this City Council adopted a Resolu"on of Inten"on form Community Facili"es District No. 2024-02 (Citywide Maintenance and Services) and Future Annexa"on Area on June 12, 2024. The Resolu"on of Inten"on set a public hearing on the forma"on of CFD No. 2024-02 and Future Annexa"on Area for today. Tonight’s ac"ons cons"tute the next steps in the process to create a CFD, which will levy special taxes to generate funds for the City to provide the services described above. The final ac"ons involve the City Clerk recording a No"ce of Special Tax Lien with the Riverside County Recorder by August 8, 2024, and the second reading and adop"on of the Ordinance on September 11, 2024.
Background
The Mello-Roos Community Facili"es Act of 1982 (the "Mello-Roos Act") provides local jurisdic"ons with an alterna"ve method of financing public capital facili"es and services. Special tax districts formed pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act are referred to as Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs.
The Developer has submiHed a pe""on reques"ng that the City conduct proceedings to consider the approval of the forma"on of CFD No. 2024-02 and Future Annexa"on Area, in order to fund ongoing public and maintenance services within the CFD.
The CFD will fund the long-term maintenance/services in perpetuity by levying an annual special tax which will be collected on the property tax bill. The funds collected will be transferred to the City, which the City will use to perform the maintenance/services.
The proposed boundaries of CFD No. 2024-02 encompass two parcels located north of Limonite Ave., east of Scholar Way, and west of Hamner Ave (APNs 164-030-013 & 164-030-043). The Developer owns 100% of the property within the proposed CFD.
Future new development projects are expected to annex to CFD No. 2024-02 with the unanimous approval of the owner or owners of each parcel or parcels at the "me that parcel or those parcels are annexed, without any requirement for further public hearings or additional proceedings.
Environmental
Establishing a CFD is not a project subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Strategic Plan Action - Priority Level: 3
| Target #: C
| Goal #: H
Ensure that City revenues align with expenditures.
Fiscal Impact
There is no current fiscal-year impact to the General Fund as a result of this ac"on. All CFD forma"on costs are borne by the applicant. Once the CFD is formed, ongoing maintenance and district administration will be funded by the special tax levy. 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752
