The City of Fontana will be undertaking an expansive and comprehensive revitalization of Downtown Fontana. The specific geographic area to be targeted includes Upland Ave to the North, Orange Avenue to the South, Mango Ave to the East and Juniper Ave to the West. A primary component of this revitalization effort will require the acquisition, demolition, replanning, and redevelopment of several key properties within the area. To facilitate the implementation of this revitalization, the City will be acquiring various properties in Downtown Fontana. Notwithstanding the fact that any structures that exist on parcels being acquired will be demolished and therefore have no future value, parcels are being acquired at market rate based on values attributable to their current use.
The subject property recently became available for acquisition. The approximately 45,500 square foot parcel includes a building of approximately 12,800 square feet.
The city and the seller’s brokers have reached agreement on a Purchase Agreement with the following proposed deal-points:
• The City of Fontana would acquire the property for the price of $2,900,000. • The City of Fontana and pay any/all escrow and title fees as appropriate. • Upon acceptance of our offer on the property the city will wire a 10% ($290,000) nonrefundable deposit to the seller.
• The City will have thirty days to perform any due diligence on the subject property, including completion of an environmental assessment and title review. • Following the due-diligence period the city will place the final contract on the next available Regular City Council meeting and within five days will complete all wire-transfers and documents City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 11/3/2022

Subsequent to the Closing, when the tax rate and the assessed valuation of the Property is fixed for the year in which the Closing occurs, the parties agree that there shall be no post-closing adjustment of the tax proration. If the Property is not assessed as a separate parcel for tax or assessment purposes, then such taxes and assessments attributable to the Property shall be determined by Seller in its reasonable discretion. If, as of the Closing, the Property is not being treated as a separate tax parcel, then Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, use diligent best efforts to ensure that the Property is assessed separately for tax and assessment purposes within no more than one year from the Closing Date.

151585442v4
7.2 Casualty. Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated.
If the Property and its Improvements suffer any damage in excess of $100,000.00 prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, does not repair, Purchaser may either (a) Terminate this Agreement, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event the proceeds of any insurance not exceeding the Purchase Price and covering such damage shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If the Property and its Improvements suffer any damage less than or equal to $100,000.00 prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage at the Closing.
8. DEFAULT
8.1 Default by Purchaser. The parties acknowledge that in the event of a default by Purchaser, Seller’s actual damages would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine; therefore, the parties agree that the amount of the Earnest Money has been agreed upon, as the parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages, and in the event that Purchaser fails to perform all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, and any such failure continues for five (5) business days after the date of written notice (which written notice shall detail such failure), Seller shall be entitled to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser of such termination and the Earnest Money deposited hereunder by Purchaser, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be paid to Seller within five (5) business days of such written notice of termination, as liquidated damages and such shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for any default by Purchaser under this Agreement; provided that such liquidated damages shall not be a limitation upon any obligation of the Purchaser to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller contained in this Agreement. The obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
IN ADDITION, THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE
TRANSACTION HEREIN CONTEMPLATED DOES NOT OCCUR AS HEREIN PROVIDED BY
REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT
WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE
PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THIS PROVISION WILL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AND SELLER’S RIGHTS TO THOSE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS TO
RETURN OR PROVIDE TO SELLER DOCUMENTS, REPORTS OR OTHER INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO OR PREPARED BY OR FOR PURCHASER PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, PURCHASER AND SELLER DO HEREBY
AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER
WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE
THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 8.1. SAID AMOUNT WILL BE THE
FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT 41 Purchaser’s Initials ___________
Fontana CA6-115 11
151585442v4
INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.
SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389.
UPON DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE TERMINATED AND, EXCEPT FOR PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND OTHER SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS REFERRED TO
HEREIN WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED BY SELLER (IN ADDITION TO COLLECTION AND RETENTION BY SELLER OF PURCHASER’S DEPOSIT AS PROVIDED HEREUNDER), NEITHER
PARTY WILL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE
OTHER EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER AND ESCROW HOLDER.

8.2 Default by Seller. The parties acknowledge that in the event of a default by Seller, Purchaser’s actual damages would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine; therefore, the parties agree that the amount of the Earnest Money, together with (a) all interest earned thereon and (b) the sum of $5,000.00 has been agreed upon, as the parties’ reasonable estimate of Purchaser’s damages, and should Seller default, and should any such default continue for five (5) business days after the date of written notice (which written notice shall detail such default), Purchaser shall be entitled to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller of such termination and the Earnest Money deposited hereunder by Purchaser, together with the sums listed in (a) and (b) above, shall be returned to Purchaser and such shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for any default by Seller under this Agreement.
8.3 Return/Delivery of Earnest Money. In the event the Earnest Money is returned to the Purchaser, as provided in Section 8.2 above, or delivered to the Seller, as provided in Section 8.1 above, upon the return or delivery of the same, the parties hereto shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to each other hereunder, except for the obligations specified in Section 4.2, Section
4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 10.2 hereof.
Nothing set forth herein shall release Purchaser from its obligations and indemnifications set forth in Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, and Section 10.2 of this Agreement.
9. FUTURE OPERATIONS
9.1 Future Operations. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller will (a) maintain the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices with respect to the Property, and (b) promptly advise Purchaser of any litigation, arbitration or administrative hearing condemnation or damage or destruction concerning the Property arising or threatened of which Seller has written notice.
9.2 Trade Fixtures and Equipment. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is currently operating a banking facility on the Property. Seller shall be entitled, at Seller’s option, to remove from the Property all trade fixtures, equipment, ATMs, furniture, furnishings, artwork, appliances, supplies, records, documents, cash, coin, and other items of moveable personal property relating to the operation of Seller’s business that may be situated upon the Property (including, without limitation, all safes, vaults, vault doors, signage, pylons, alarms and security equipment, auxiliary generators, cubicles and removable 42 Purchaser’s Initials ___________

partitions, computers and computer-related equipment, telecommunication equipment, halon systems, draperies, and decorations), and such items removed by Seller shall be excluded from the Improvements and Tangible Personal Property to be conveyed hereunder and shall remain the property of Seller. Seller shall have no obligation to repair any damage to the Property caused by the removal of such items, and Purchaser shall accept the Property in its then-existing condition at Closing.
9.3 Customer Information. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no computer servers, desktop stations, laptops, files, documents, records or other personal property which could reasonably be expected to contain customer information, proprietary information or other confidential information (collectively, the “Protected Items”) shall become the property of or shall be disposed of by Purchaser. In the event any Protected Items remain on the Property after Closing, Purchaser shall notify Seller immediately and shall promptly provide access during normal business hours for Seller to retrieve said items; it being acknowledged by both Purchaser and Seller that such items may contain sensitive, confidential and/or proprietary information which is subject to federal and/or state regulations as to ownership, possession, storage, disposal, removal or other handling. Further, Purchaser shall not make any copies of the information contained in the Protected Items, nor display or disseminate the Protected Items or the information contained therein to any third parties. Purchaser agrees that it will not contact any media outlet or other third party to publicize any Protected Items left on the Property.
Upon request, Purchaser shall execute a certificate in a form prepared and provided by the Seller, attesting under penalty of perjury to the foregoing. This provision shall survive Closing.

DISCUSSION:
These parcels were obtained as part of a right-of-way acquisition. The original right-of-way work was completed, and these parcels are remnants left over from that project. With the original acquisition being for this purpose, these parcels are exempt from the Surplus Land Act.
City Staff have performed an independent review and found these parcels to be exempt from CEQA because this surplus government property is not located in an area of statewide, regional, or areawide concern identified in CEQA Guidelines.
Sonora Tires Route 66, Inc., owned by Gerardo Herrera, has contacted the city with the desire to purchase these parcels. The negotiated terms of the purchase are as follows:
Area: 15,500 square feet
Total Purchase Price: $200,000
Down payment: $100,000
4 quarterly payments of $25,000 plus 5% interest

The price was determined by collecting six comparative real estate sales which showed an average of $13 per square foot, with a range of $9 - $18 per square foot. The rate for this sale is $12.90 per square foot.
To ensure the exemption from the Surplus Land Act, this sale must be performed by resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This transaction will result in sale proceeds to the city in the amount of $200,000 at the completion of the sale.

Approve staff recommendation.

(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
BUYER'S AGENT
A Buyer's agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.
To the Buyer and the Seller:
(a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
(c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the other party that does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH SELLER AND BUYER
A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more salespersons and broker associates, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer.
In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer:
(a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either the Seller or the Buyer. (b) Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections.
In representing both Seller and Buyer, a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the Buyer's or Seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered.
SELLER AND BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Either the purchase agreement or a separate document will contain a confirmation of which agent is representing you and whether that agent is representing you exclusively in the transaction or acting as a dual agent. Please pay attention to that confirmation to make sure it accurately reflects your understanding of your agent's role.
The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect his or her own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.
If you are a Buyer, you have the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including as to those facts about the property which are known to you or within your diligent attention and observation.
Both Sellers and Buyers should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transaction can be complex and subject to change.
Throughout your real property transaction you may receive more than one disclosure form, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. The law requires each agent with whom you have more than a casual relationship to present you with this disclosure form. You should read its contents each time it is presented to you, considering the relationship between you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction. This disclosure form includes the provisions of Sections 2079.13 to 2079.24, inclusive, of the Civil Code set forth on page 2. Read it carefully. I/WE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS DISCLOSURE AND THE PORTIONS OF THE CIVIL CODE PRINTED ON THE SECOND PAGE.

CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 2079.13 ‒ 2079.24 (2079.16 APPEARS ON THE FRONT) 2079.13. As used in Sections 2079.7 and 2079.14 to 2079.24, inclusive, the following terms have the following meanings:

The agent in the real property transaction bears responsibility for that agent's salespersons or broker associates who perform as agents of the agent. When a salesperson or broker associate owes a duty to any principal, or to any buyer or seller who is not a principal, in a real property transaction, that duty is equivalent to the duty owed to that party by the broker for whom the salesperson or broker associate functions. (b) “Buyer” means a transferee in a real property transaction, and includes a person who executes an offer to purchase real property from a seller through an agent, or who seeks the services of an agent in more than a casual, transitory, or preliminary manner, with the object of entering into a real property transaction. “Buyer” includes vendee or lessee of real property.

(d) “Dual agent” means an agent acting, either directly or through a salesperson or broker associate, as agent for both the seller and the buyer in a real property transaction. (e) “Listing agreement” means a written contract between a seller of real property and an agent, by which the agent has been authorized to sell the real property or to find or obtain a buyer, including rendering other services for which a real estate license is required to the seller pursuant to the terms of the agreement. (f) “Seller's agent” means a person who has obtained a listing of real property to act as an agent for compensation. (g) “Listing price” is the amount expressed in dollars specified in the listing for which the seller is willing to sell the real property through the seller's agent. (h) “Offering price” is the amount expressed in dollars specified in an offer to purchase for which the buyer is willing to buy the real property. (i) “Offer to purchase” means a written contract executed by a buyer acting through a buyer's agent that becomes the contract for the sale of the real property upon acceptance by the seller. (j) “Real property” means any estate specified by subdivision (1) or (2) of Section 761 in property, and includes (1) single-family residential property, (2) multiunit residential property with more than four dwelling units, (3) commercial real property, (4) vacant land, (5) a ground lease coupled with improvements, or (6) a manufactured home as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code, or a mobilehome as defined in Section 18008 of the Health and Safety Code, when offered for sale or sold through an agent pursuant to the authority contained in Section 10131.6 of the Business and Professions Code. (k) “Real property transaction” means a transaction for the sale of real property in which an agent is retained by a buyer, seller, or both a buyer and seller to act in that transaction, and includes a listing or an offer to purchase. (l) “Sell,” “sale,” or “sold” refers to a transaction for the transfer of real property from the seller to the buyer and includes exchanges of real property between the seller and buyer, transactions for the creation of a real property sales contract within the meaning of Section 2985, and transactions for the creation of a leasehold exceeding one year's duration. (m) “Seller” means the transferor in a real property transaction and includes an owner who lists real property with an agent, whether or not a transfer results, or who receives an offer to purchase real property of which he or she is the owner from an agent on behalf of another. “Seller” includes both a vendor and a lessor of real property. (n) “Buyer's agent” means an agent who represents a buyer in a real property transaction. 2079.14. A seller's agent and buyer's agent shall provide the seller and buyer in a real property transaction with a copy of the disclosure form specified in Section 2079.16, and shall obtain a signed acknowledgment of receipt from that seller and buyer, except as provided in Section 2079.15, as follows: (a) The seller's agent, if any, shall provide the disclosure form to the seller prior to entering into the listing agreement. (b) The buyer's agent shall provide the disclosure form to the buyer as soon as practicable prior to execution of the buyer's offer to purchase. If the offer to purchase is not prepared by the buyer's agent, the buyer's agent shall present the disclosure form to the buyer not later than the next business day after receiving the offer to purchase from the buyer.
2079.15. In any circumstance in which the seller or buyer refuses to sign an acknowledgment of receipt pursuant to Section 2079.14, the agent shall set forth, sign, and date a written declaration of the facts of the refusal. 2079.16 Reproduced on Page 1 of this AD form.
2079.17(a) As soon as practicable, the buyer's agent shall disclose to the buyer and seller whether the agent is acting in the real property transaction as the buyer's agent, or as a dual agent representing both the buyer and the seller. This relationship shall be confirmed in the contract to purchase and sell real property or in a separate writing executed or acknowledged by the seller, the buyer, and the buyer's agent prior to or coincident with execution of that contract by the buyer and the seller, respectively. (b) As soon as practicable, the seller's agent shall disclose to the seller whether the seller's agent is acting in the real property transaction as the seller's agent, or as a dual agent representing both the buyer and seller. This relationship shall be confirmed in the contract to purchase and sell real property or in a separate writing executed or acknowledged by the seller and the seller's agent prior to or coincident with the execution of that contract by the seller.
CONFIRMATION: (c) The confirmation required by subdivisions (a) and (b) shall be in the following form:
Seller's Brokerage Firm DO NOT COMPLETE. SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is the broker of (check one): the seller; or both the buyer and seller. (dual agent) Seller's Agent DO NOT COMPLETE. SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is (check one): the Seller's Agent. (salesperson or broker associate) both the Buyer's and Seller's Agent. (dual agent) Buyer's Brokerage Firm DO NOT COMPLETE. SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is the broker of (check one): the buyer; or both the buyer and seller. (dual agent) Buyer's Agent DO NOT COMPLETE. SAMPLE ONLY License Number ______________ Is (check one): the Buyer's Agent. (salesperson or broker associate) both the Buyer's and Seller's Agent. (dual agent) (d) The disclosures and confirmation required by this section shall be in addition to the disclosure required by Section 2079.14. An agent's duty to provide disclosure and confirmation of representation in this section may be performed by a real estate salesperson or broker associate affiliated with that broker. 2079.18 (Repealed pursuant to AB-1289)
2079.19 The payment of compensation or the obligation to pay compensation to an agent by the seller or buyer is not necessarily determinative of a particular agency relationship between an agent and the seller or buyer. A listing agent and a selling agent may agree to share any compensation or commission paid, or any right to any compensation or commission for which an obligation arises as the result of a real estate transaction, and the terms of any such agreement shall not necessarily be determinative of a particular relationship. 2079.20 Nothing in this article prevents an agent from selecting, as a condition of the agent's employment, a specific form of agency relationship not specifically prohibited by this article if the requirements of Section 2079.14 and Section 2079.17 are complied with. 2079.21 (a) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the seller, disclose to the buyer any confidential information obtained from the seller. (b) A dual agent may not, without the express permission of the buyer, disclose to the seller any confidential information obtained from the buyer. (c) “Confidential information” means facts relating to the client's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, such as the seller is willing to accept a price less than the listing price or the buyer is willing to pay a price greater than the price offered. (d) This section does not alter in any way the duty or responsibility of a dual agent to any principal with respect to confidential information other than price. 2079.22 Nothing in this article precludes a seller's agent from also being a buyer's agent. If a seller or buyer in a transaction chooses to not be represented by an agent, that does not, of itself, make that agent a dual agent. 2079.23 A contract between the principal and agent may be modified or altered to change the agency relationship at any time before the performance of the act which is the object of the agency with the written consent of the parties to the agency relationship. 2079.24 Nothing in this article shall be construed to either diminish the duty of disclosure owed buyers and sellers by agents and their associate licensees, subagents, and employees or to relieve agents and their associate licensees, subagents, and employees from liability for their conduct in connection with acts governed by this article or for any breach of a fiduciary duty or a duty of disclosure. © 2021, California Association of REALTORS®, Inc.

POSSIBLE REPRESENTATION OF MORE THAN ONE BUYER
OR SELLER - DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT
(C.A.R. Form PRBS, Revised 12/21)
A real estate broker (Broker), whether a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship, may represent more than one buyer or seller. This multiple representation can occur through an individual licensed as a broker or salesperson or through different individual broker's or salespersons (associate licensees) acting under the Broker's license. The associate licensees may be working out of the same or different office locations.
Multiple Buyers: Broker (individually or through its associate licensees) may be working with many prospective buyers at the same time. These prospective buyers may have an interest in, and make offers on, the same properties. Some of these properties may be listed with Broker and some may not. Broker will not limit or restrict any particular buyer from making an offer on any particular property whether or not Broker represents other buyers interested in the same property.
Multiple Sellers: Broker (individually or through its associate licensees) may have listings on many properties at the same time. As a result, Broker will attempt to find buyers for each of those listed properties. Some listed properties may appeal to the same prospective buyers. Some properties may attract more prospective buyers than others. Some of these prospective buyers may be represented by Broker and some may not. Broker will market all listed properties to all prospective buyers whether or not Broker has another or other listed properties that may appeal to the same prospective buyers.
Dual Agency: If Seller is represented by Broker, Seller acknowledges that broker may represent prospective buyers of Seller's property and consents to Broker acting as a dual agent for both seller and buyer in that transaction. If Buyer is represented by Broker, buyer acknowledges that Broker may represent sellers of property that Buyer is interested in acquiring and consents to Broker acting as a dual agent for both buyer and seller with regard to that property.
In the event of dual agency, seller and buyer agree that: a dual agent may not, without the express permission of the respective party, disclose to the other party confidential information, including, but not limited to, facts relating to either the buyer's or seller's financial position, motivations, bargaining position, or other personal information that may impact price, including the seller's willingness to accept a price less than the listing price or the buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered; and except as set forth above, a dual agent is obligated to disclose known facts materially affecting the value or desirability of the Property to both parties.
Offers not necessarily confidential: Buyer is advised that seller or listing agent may disclose the existence, terms, or conditions of buyer's offer unless all parties and their agent have signed a written confidentiality agreement. Whether any such information is actually disclosed depends on many factors, such as current market conditions, the prevailing practice in the real estate community, the listing agent's marketing strategy and the instructions of the seller.
Buyer and seller understand that Broker may represent more than one buyer or more than one seller and even both buyer and seller on the same transaction and consents to such relationships.
Seller and/or Buyer acknowledges reading and understanding this Possible Representation of More Than One Buyer or Seller - Disclosure and Consent and agrees to the agency possibilities disclosed.

WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS
TRANSFER ADVISORY
(C.A.R. Form WFA, Revised 12/21)
Property Address: (“Property”).
WIRE FRAUD AND ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS ADVISORY:
The ability to communicate and conduct business electronically is a convenience and reality in nearly all parts of our lives.
At the same time, it has provided hackers and scammers new opportunities for their criminal activity. Many businesses have been victimized and the real estate business is no exception.
While wiring or electronically transferring funds is a welcome convenience, we all need to exercise extreme caution.
Emails attempting to induce fraudulent wire transfers have been received and have appeared to be legitimate. Reports indicate that some hackers have been able to intercept emailed transfer instructions, obtain account information and, by altering some of the data, redirect the funds to a different account. It also appears that some hackers were able to provide false phone numbers for verifying the wiring or funds transfer instructions. In those cases, the victim called the number provided to confirm the instructions, and then unwittingly authorized a transfer to somewhere or someone other than the intended recipient.
ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ADVISED:
1. Obtain phone numbers and account numbers only from Escrow Officers, Property Managers, or Landlords at the beginning of the transaction.
2. DO NOT EVER WIRE OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSFER FUNDS PRIOR TO CALLING TO CONFIRM THE TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS. ONLY USE A PHONE NUMBER YOU WERE PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY. Do not use any different phone number or account number included in any emailed transfer instructions.
3. Orally confirm the transfer instruction is legitimate and confirm the bank routing number, account numbers and other codes before taking steps to transfer the funds.
4. Avoid sending personal information in emails or texts. Provide such information in person or over the telephone directly to the Escrow Officer, Property Manager, or Landlord.
5. Take steps to secure the system you are using with your email account. These steps include creating strong passwords, using secure WiFi, and not using free services.
If you believe you have received questionable or suspicious wire or funds transfer instructions, immediately notify your bank, and the other party, and the Escrow Office, Landlord, or Property Manager. The sources below, as well as others, can also provide information:
Federal Bureau of Investigation: https://www.fbi.gov/; the FBI's IC3 at www.ic3.gov; or 310-477-6565 National White Collar Crime Center: http://www.nw3c.org/ On Guard Online: https://www.onguardonline.gov/
NOTE: There are existing alternatives to electronic and wired fund transfers such as cashier's checks.
By signing below, the undersigned acknowledge that each has read, understands and has received a copy of this Wire Fraud and Electronic Funds Transfer Advisory.

5. ADDITIONAL TERMS AFFECTING PURCHASE PRICE: Buyer represents that funds will be good when deposited with Escrow Holder.
A. DEPOSIT:
(1) INITIAL DEPOSIT: Buyer shall deliver deposit directly to Escrow Holder. If a method other than wire transfer is specified in paragraph 3D(1) and such method is unacceptable to Escrow Holder, then upon notice from Escrow Holder, delivery shall be by wire transfer.
(2) INCREASED DEPOSIT: Increased deposit to be delivered to Escrow Holder in the same manner as the Initial Deposit. If the Parties agree to liquidated damages in this Agreement, they also agree to incorporate the increased deposit into the liquidated damages amount by signing a new liquidated damages clause (C.A.R. Form DID) at the time the increased deposit is delivered to Escrow Holder.
(3) RETENTION OF DEPOSIT: Paragraph 36, if initialed by all Parties or otherwise incorporated into this Agreement, specifies a remedy for Buyer's default. Buyer and Seller are advised to consult with a qualified California real estate attorney before adding any other clause specifying a remedy (such as release or forfeiture of deposit or making a deposit non-refundable) for failure of Buyer to complete the purchase. Any such clause shall be deemed invalid unless the clause independently satisfies the statutory liquidated damages requirements set forth in the Civil Code.
B. ALL CASH OFFER: If an all cash offer is specified in paragraph 3A, no loan is needed to purchase the Property. This Agreement is NOT contingent on Buyer obtaining a loan. Buyer shall, within the time specified in paragraph 3H(1), Deliver written verification of funds sufficient for the purchase price and closing costs.
C. LOAN(S):
(1) FIRST LOAN: This loan will provide for conventional financing UNLESS FHA, VA, Seller Financing (C.A.R. Form SFA), Assumed Financing, Subject To Financing, or Other is checked in paragraph 3E(1). (2) ADDITIONAL FINANCED AMOUNT: If an additional financed amount is specified in paragraph 3E(2), that amount will provide for conventional financing UNLESS Seller Financing (C.A.R. Form SFA), Assumed Financing, Subject To Financing, or Other is checked in paragraph 3E(2).
(3) BUYER'S LOAN STATUS: Buyer authorizes Seller and Seller's Authorized Agent to contact Buyer's lender(s) to determine the status of any Buyer's loan specified in paragraph 3E, or any alternate loan Buyer pursues, whether or not a contingency of this Agreement. If the contact information for Buyer's lender(s) is different from that provided under the terms of paragraph 6B, Buyer shall Deliver the updated contact information within 1 Day of Seller's request. (4) ASSUMED OR SUBJECT TO FINANCING: Seller represents that Seller is not delinquent on any payments due on any loans. If the Property is acquired subject to an existing loan, Buyer and Seller are advised to consult with legal counsel regarding the ability of an existing lender to call the loan due, and the consequences thereof.
D. BALANCE OF PURCHASE PRICE (DOWN PAYMENT) (including all-cash funds) to be deposited with Escrow Holder pursuant to Escrow Holder instructions.
E. LIMITS ON CREDITS TO BUYER: Any credit to Buyer, from any source, for closing or other costs that is agreed to by the Parties (“Contractual Credit”) shall be disclosed to Buyer's lender, if any, and made at Close Of Escrow. If the total credit allowed by Buyer's lender (“Lender Allowable Credit”) is less than the Contractual Credit, then (i) the Contractual Credit from Seller shall be reduced to the Lender Allowable Credit, and (ii) in the absence of a separate written agreement between the Parties, there shall be no automatic adjustment to the purchase price to make up for the difference between the Contractual Credit and the Lender Allowable Credit.
6. ADDITIONAL FINANCING TERMS:
A. VERIFICATION OF DOWN PAYMENT AND CLOSING COSTS: Written verification of Buyer's down payment and closing costs may be made by Buyer or Buyer's lender or loan broker pursuant to paragraph 6B.
B. VERIFICATION OF LOAN APPLICATIONS: Buyer shall Deliver to Seller, within the time specified in paragraph 3H(3) a letter from Buyer's lender or loan broker stating that, based on a review of Buyer's written application and credit report, Buyer is prequalified or preapproved for any NEW loan specified in paragraph 3E. If any loan specified in paragraph 3E is an adjustable rate loan, the prequalification or preapproval letter shall be based on the qualifying rate, not the initial loan rate.
C. BUYER STATED FINANCING: Seller is relying on Buyer's representation of the type of financing specified (including, but not limited to, as applicable, all cash, amount of down payment, or contingent or non-contingent loan). Seller has agreed to a specific closing date, purchase price, and to sell to Buyer in reliance on Buyer's specified financing. Buyer shall pursue the financing specified in this Agreement, even if Buyer also elects to pursue an alternative form of financing. Seller has no obligation to cooperate with Buyer's efforts to obtain any financing other than that specified in this Agreement but shall not interfere with closing at the purchase price on the COE date (paragraph 3B) even if based upon alternate financing. Buyer's inability to obtain alternate financing does not excuse Buyer from the obligation to purchase the Property and close escrow as specified in this Agreement.
7. CLOSING AND POSSESSION:
A. OCCUPANCY: Buyer intends to occupy the Property as indicated in paragraph 3E(3). Occupancy may impact available financing.
B. CONDITION OF PROPERTY ON CLOSING:
(1) Unless Otherwise Agreed: (i) the Property shall be delivered “As-Is” in its PRESENT physical condition as of the date of Acceptance; (ii) the Property, including pool, spa, landscaping and grounds, is to be maintained in substantially the same condition as on the date of Acceptance; and (iii) all debris and personal property not included in the sale shall be removed by Close Of Escrow or at the time possession is delivered to Buyer, if not on the same date. If items are not removed when possession is delivered to Buyer, all items shall be deemed abandoned. Buyer, after first Delivering to Seller written notice to remove the items within 3 Days, may pay to have such items removed or disposed of and may bring legal action, as per this Agreement, to receive reasonable costs from Seller. (2) Buyer is strongly advised to conduct investigations of the entire Property in order to determine its present condition. Seller and Agents may not be aware of all defects affecting the Property or other factors that Buyer considers important. Property improvements may not be built according to code, in compliance with current Law, or have had all required permits issued and/or finalized.
C. Seller shall, on Close Of Escrow unless Otherwise Agreed and even if Seller remains in possession, provide keys, passwords, codes and/or means to operate all locks, mailboxes, and all items included in either paragraph 3P or paragraph 9. If the Property is a condominium or located in a common interest development, Seller shall be responsible for securing or providing any such items for Association amenities, facilities, and access. Buyer may be required to pay a deposit to the Owners' Association (“OA”) to obtain keys to accessible OA facilities.

8. CONTINGENCIES AND REMOVAL OF CONTINGENCIES:
A. LOAN(S):
(1) This Agreement is, unless otherwise specified in paragraph 3L(1) or an attached CR form, contingent upon Buyer obtaining the loan(s) specified. If contingent, Buyer shall act diligently and in good faith to obtain the designated loan(s). If there is no appraisal contingency or the appraisal contingency has been waived or removed, then failure of the Property to appraise at the purchase price does not entitle Buyer to exercise the cancellation right pursuant to the loan contingency if Buyer is otherwise qualified for the specified loan and Buyer is able to satisfy lender's non-appraisal conditions for closing the loan.
(2) Buyer is advised to investigate the insurability of the Property as early as possible, as this may be a requirement for lending. Buyer's ability to obtain insurance for the Property, including fire insurance, is part of Buyer's Investigation of Property contingency. Failure of Buyer to obtain insurance may justify cancellation based on the Investigation contingency but not the loan contingency.
(3) Buyer's contractual obligations regarding deposit, balance of down payment and closing costs are not contingencies of this Agreement, unless Otherwise Agreed.
(4) If there is an appraisal contingency, removal of the loan contingency shall not be deemed removal of the appraisal contingency. (5) NO LOAN CONTINGENCY: If "No loan contingency" is checked in paragraph 3L(1), obtaining any loan specified is NOT a contingency of this Agreement. If Buyer does not obtain the loan specified, and as a result is unable to purchase the Property, Seller may be entitled to Buyer's deposit or other legal remedies.
B. APPRAISAL:
(1) This Agreement is, unless otherwise specified in paragraph 3L(2) or an attached CR form, contingent upon a written appraisal of the Property by a licensed or certified appraiser at no less than the amount specified in paragraph 3L(2), without requiring repairs or improvements to the Property. Appraisals are often a reliable source to verify square footage of the subject Property. However, the ability to cancel based on the measurements provided in an appraisal falls within the Investigation of Property contingency. The appraisal contingency is solely limited to the value determined by the appraisal.
For any cancellation based upon this appraisal contingency, Buyer shall Deliver a Copy of the written appraisal to Seller, upon request by Seller.
(2) NO APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY: If "No appraisal contingency" is checked in paragraph 3L(2), then Buyer may not use the loan contingency specified in paragraph 3L(1) to cancel this Agreement if the sole reason for not obtaining the loan is that the appraisal relied upon by Buyer's lender values the property at an amount less than that specified in paragraph 3L(2). If Buyer is unable to obtain the loan specified solely for this reason, Seller may be entitled to Buyer's deposit or other legal remedies.
(3) Fair Appraisal Act: The Parties acknowledge receipt of the attached Fair Appraisal Act Addendum (C.A.R. Form FAAA).
C. MANUFACTURED HOME PURCHASE: If checked in paragraph 3L(3), this Agreement is contingent upon Buyer acquiring a personal property manufactured home to be placed on the Property after Close Of Escrow.
D. CONSTRUCTION LOAN FINANCING: If checked in paragraph 3L(4), this Agreement is contingent upon Buyer obtaining a construction loan.
E. INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTY: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(5), contingent upon Buyer's acceptance of the condition of, and any other matter affecting, the Property.
F. REVIEW OF SELLER DOCUMENTS: This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(6), contingent upon Buyer's review of Seller's documents required in paragraph 17A.
G. TITLE:
(1) This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(7), contingent upon Buyer's ability to obtain the title policy provided for in paragraph 16G and on Buyer's review of a current Preliminary Report and items that are disclosed or observable even if not on record or not specified in the Preliminary Report, and satisfying Buyer regarding the current status of title. Buyer is advised to review all underlying documents and other matters affecting title, including, but not limited to, any documents or deeds referenced in the Preliminary Report and any plotted easements. (2) Buyer has 5 Days after receipt to review a revised Preliminary Report, if any, furnished by the Title Company and cancel the transaction if the revised Preliminary Report reveals material or substantial deviations from a previously provided Preliminary Report.
H. CONDOMINIUM/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISCLOSURES (IF APPLICABLE): This Agreement is, as specified in paragraph 3L(8), contingent upon Buyer's review of Common Interest Disclosures required by Civil Code § 4525 and under paragraph 11D (“CI Disclosures”).
I. BUYER REVIEW OF LEASED OR LIENED ITEMS CONTINGENCY: Buyer's review of and ability and willingness to assume any lease, maintenance agreement or other ongoing financial obligation, or to accept the Property subject to any lien, disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9B(2), is, as specified in paragraph 3L(9), a contingency of this Agreement. Any assumption of the lease shall not require any financial obligation or contribution by Seller.

29. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT: The Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”) prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The ADA affects almost all commercial facilities and public accommodations. Residential properties are not typically covered by the ADA, but may be governed by its provisions if used for certain purposes. The ADA can require, among other things, that building be made readily accessible to the disabled. Different requirements apply to new construction, alterations to existing buildings, and removal of barriers in existing buildings. Compliance with the ADA may require significant costs. Monetary and injunctive remedies may be incurred if the Property is not in compliance. A real estate broker or agent does not have the technical expertise to determine whether a building is in compliance with ADA requirements, or to advise a principal on those requirements. Buyer and Seller are advised to contact a qualified California real estate attorney, contractor, architect, engineer, or other qualified professional of Buyer or Seller's own choosing to determine to what degree, if any, the ADA impacts that principal or this transaction.
30. EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY: The Property is sold in compliance with federal, state and local anti-discrimination Laws.

BUYER'S VACANT LAND ADDITIONAL INSPECTION
ADVISORY
(C.A.R. Form BVLIA, 11/13)
Property Address: ("Property").
A. IMPORTANCE OF PROPERTY INVESTIGATION: The physical condition of the land and improvements being purchased is not guaranteed by either Seller or Brokers. For this reason, you should conduct thorough investigations of the Property personally and with professionals who should provide written reports of their investigations. A general physical inspection typically does not cover all aspects of the Property nor items affecting the Property that are not physically located on the Property. If the professionals recommend further investigations, including a recommendation by a pest control operator to inspect inaccessible areas of the Property, you should contact qualified experts to conduct such additional investigations. Additionally, some inspections, such as those listed below, may be of particular importance when purchasing vacant land.
B. BUYER RIGHTS AND DUTIES: You have an affirmative duty to exercise reasonable care to protect yourself, including discovery of the legal, practical and technical implications of disclosed facts, and the investigation and verification of information and facts that you know or that are within your diligent attention and observation. The purchase agreement gives you the right to investigate the Property. If you exercise this right, and you should, you must do so in accordance with the terms of that agreement. This is the best way for you to protect yourself. It is extremely important for you to read all written reports provided by professionals and to discuss the results of inspections with the professional who conducted the inspection. You have the right to request that Seller make repairs, corrections or take other action based upon items discovered in your investigations or disclosed by Seller. If Seller is unwilling or unable to satisfy your requests, or you do not want to purchase the Property in its disclosed and discovered condition, you have the right to cancel the agreement if you act within specific time periods. If you do not cancel the agreement in a timely and proper manner, you may be in breach of contract.
C. SELLER RIGHTS AND DUTIES: Seller is required to disclose to you material facts known to him/her that affect the value or desirability of the Property. However, Seller may not be aware of some Property defects or conditions. Seller does not have an obligation to inspect the Property for your benefit nor is Seller obligated to repair, correct or otherwise cure known defects that are disclosed to you or previously unknown defects that are discovered by you or your inspectors during escrow. The purchase agreement obligates Seller to make the Property available to you for investigations.
D. BROKER OBLIGATIONS: Brokers do not have expertise in all areas and therefore cannot advise you on many items, such as soil stability, geologic or environmental conditions, hazardous or illegal controlled substances, structural conditions of the foundation or other improvements, or the condition of the roof, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, sewer, septic, waste disposal, or other system. The only way to accurately determine the condition of the Property is through an inspection by an appropriate professional selected by you. If Broker gives you referrals to such professionals, Broker does not guarantee their performance. You may select any professional of your choosing. If you have entered into a written agreement with a Broker, the specific terms of that agreement will determine the nature and extent of that Broker's duty to you. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO INVESTIGATE THE CONDITION AND SUITABILITY OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE PROPERTY. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST THE ADVICE OF BROKERS.
E. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS OF THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. FINANCE: Financing the purchase of vacant land finance and especially financing construction loans for the improvement of vacant land can provide particular challenges, including subordination agreements and insurance requirements. Buyer is advised to seek the assistance of reputable lenders in assistance with their decisions regarding financing of the property.
2. CONSTRUCTION COSTS: If Buyer is contemplating building improvements on the property, Buyer is advised that they will have to contact directly any contractors, service providers, suppliers, architects, utility companies regarding the costs of improvements. Buyer is advised to get written bids from all such persons regarding their decision to develop the property.
3. UTILITIES: Unimproved property may or may not have utilities available to the property. Buyer(s) is advised to obtain information from the public or private utility provider about the availability and cost of providing utilities to the property and whether necessary easements are in place to allow such utilities to the property.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY: Unimproved land may have had or may have hazardous materials stored upon or under the land or been used by persons engaged in activities exposing the land to hazardous materials. The land may also be host to protected vegetation or animal life. Buyer(s) is advised to satisfy themselves as what hazards or protected plant or animal life are on the property and what impact they may have on Buyer's future plans for the property by seeking the help of a qualified professional.

5. NATURAL HAZARDS REPORTS: Buyer(s) is advised that while certain disclosures are required by state, federal and local laws, hazard disclosure companies can provide additional disclosures for both natural and man-made hazards or nuisances for a cost.
Buyer is advised to seek the advice of a natural hazards reporting company regarding additional reports and disclosures that buyer may wish to obtain.
6. SUBDIVISION OF THE PROPERTY: If Buyer's plans include future subdivision of the property (whether under the Subdivision Map Act of the Subdivided Lands Law) multiple, complex issues regarding city, county, state, and federal laws may be presented.
Buyer is strongly advised to seek the advice of California legal counsel familiar with federal, state and local subdivision requirements.
Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that Broker: (i) Does not decide what price Buyer should pay or Seller should accept; (ii) Does not guarantee the condition of the Property; (iii) Does not guarantee the performance, adequacy or completeness of inspections, services, products or repairs provided or made by Seller or others; (iv) Does not have an obligation to conduct an inspection of common areas or areas off the site of the Property; (v) Shall not be responsible for identifying defects on the Property, in common areas, or offsite unless such defects are visually observable by an inspection of reasonably accessible areas of the Property or are known to Broker; (vi) Shall not be responsible for inspecting public records or permits concerning the title or use of Property; (vii) Shall not be responsible for identifying the location of boundary lines or other items affecting title; (viii) Shall not be responsible for verifying square footage, representations of others or information contained in Investigation reports, Multiple Listing Service, advertisements, flyers or other promotional material; (ix) Shall not be responsible for providing legal or tax advice regarding any aspect of a transaction entered into by Buyer or Seller; and (x) Shall not be responsible for providing other advice or information that exceeds the knowledge, education and experience required to perform real estate licensed activity. Buyer and Seller agree to seek legal, tax, insurance, title and other desired assistance from appropriate professionals.
By signing below, Buyer and Seller each acknowledge that they have read, understand, accept and have received a Copy of this Advisory. Buyer is encouraged to read it carefully.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT ADVISORY,
DISCLOSURE AND NOTICE
(C.A.R. Form CCPA, Revised 12/21)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (commencing with Civil Code § 1798.100) (“CCPA”) grants to California residents certain rights in their private, personal information (“PI”) that is collected by companies with whom they do business.
Under the CCPA, PI is defined broadly to encompass non-public records information that could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to you. PI could potentially include photographs of, or sales information about, your property.
During the process of buying and selling real estate your PI will be collected and likely shared with others, including real estate licensees, a Multiple Listing Service, real estate internet websites, service providers, lenders, and title and escrow companies, to name several possibilities. Businesses that are covered by the CCPA are required to grant you various rights in your PI, including the right to know what PI is collected, “opt out” or stop the transfer of your PI to others, and the right to request that the business delete your PI entirely. You may get one or more notices regarding your CCPA rights from businesses you interact with in a real estate transaction. However, not all businesses that receive or share your PI are obligated to comply with the CCPA. Also, even businesses that are otherwise covered under the CCPA may have a legal obligation to maintain PI, notwithstanding your instruction to the contrary. For instance, regardless of whether they are covered by CCPA, under California law, brokers and Multiple Listing Services are required to maintain their records for 3 years. If you wish to exercise your rights under CCPA, where applicable, you should contact the respective business directly.
You can obtain more information about the CCPA and your rights under the law from the State of California Department of Justice (oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa).
I/we acknowledge receipt of a copy of this California Consumer Privacy Act Advisory, Disclosure and Notice.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF FONTANA,
CALIFORNIA, TO CONVEY THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
LOCATED SOUTH OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AND WEST OF
TOKAY AVENUE IN FONTANA, CALIFORNIA (ASSESSOR PARCEL
NUMBERS 0232-091-18 AND 0232-091-19) TO SONORA TIRES
ROUTE 66, INC, PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
37350, ET SEQ.
WHEREAS, the City of Fontana, a municipal corporation ("City"), is the owner of certain 5,900 square-foot and 9,600 square foot parcels of real property generally located south of Foothill Boulevard and west of Tokay Avenue in the City of Fontana, California (APNs 0232-091-18 and 0232-091-19, respectively), and consisting of uneconomic remnant parcels acquired for Foothill Boulevard and Tokay Avenue, and more specifically described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Property"); and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 1486 went into effect on January 1, 2020 and expands the Surplus Land Act (“Act”) requirements for local agencies to incentivize development of more affordable housing on surplus properties; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to the provision of the Act, City staff has determined that the sale of the Property constitutes "exempt surplus land" under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(E), as “surplus land that is a former street, right of way, or easement, and is conveyed to an owner of an adjacent property;” and WHEREAS, City staff has determined Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(E) is applicable since the Property was acquired for right of way purposes described herein, and that the proposed sale of Property consists of uneconomic remnants resulting from that right of way, that are to be sold to Sonora Tires Route 66, Inc. (“Developer”), who owns property adjacent to the Property; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 54222.3 states that the Act does not apply to the disposal of exempt surplus land; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 37420 through 37430 authorizes the City to dispose of public property; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 37351 provides that the legislative body of a city may “may control, dispose of, and convey … [real] property for the benefit of the city”; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to take final action regarding the conveyance of the Property; and
94 16498.00100\40402300.3
WHEREAS, Under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. tit.14, §§15000 et seq.) City Staff have determined based on its independent review the sale of this Property is exempt from CEQA, because this surplus government property is not located in an area of statewide, regional, or areawide concern identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15206(b)(4).
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND DECLARE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
Section 2. Surplus Land Act Declaration and Findings. The City Council declares, based on the Recitals and all other information and testimony provided, that the Property is “exempt surplus land” under the Surplus Land Act pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(E), because the Property was originally acquired for right of way purposes and now consists of uneconomic remnants resulting from that right of way and will be sold to Developer, who owns property adjacent to the Property.
Section 3. Common Benefit Findings. The City Council finds that, based on the Recitals and all other information and testimony provided, sale of the Property to Developer (owner of the adjacent business enterprise) at fair market value will result in a common benefit to the City, its residents, and visitors, in the form of relief of the currently over-crowded parking conditions in existence at this location and particularly for Developer’s business. Additional parking should also contribute to an increase in general business activity and economic growth to everyone’s mutual benefit.
Section 4. Compliance with California Code of Civil Procedure. There has been compliance by the City with the requirements of Section 1245.235 of the California Code of Civil Procedure regarding notice and hearing.
Section 5. CEQA. The proposed sale of the property is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub.
Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal.
Code Regs, tit. 14 §§ 15000 et seq.). Specifically, City Staff have determined based on its independent review the sale of this Property is exempt from CEQA under the Class 12, Categorical Exemption for the sale of surplus government property (State CEQA Guidelines § 15312), because this surplus government property is not located in an area of statewide, regional, or areawide concern identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15206(b)(4). The City Clerk is authorized and directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the appropriate official of the County of San Bernardino, California within (5) days following the date of the adoption of this Resolution.
Section 6. Description of the Property. The Property is generally located south of Foothill Boulevard and west of Tokay Avenue in the City of Fontana, California 95 16498.00100\40402300.3
(APNs: 0232-091-18 and 0232-091-19) and is further depicted in Exhibit “A" attached to this Resolution.
Section 7. Approval of Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Purchase and Sale Agreement for the conveyance of the Property to Developer, is hereby approved by the City Council in substantially the same form as hereto attached as Exhibit “B”, together with any such changes as hereafter approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney deemed to be within the City’s best interest.
Section 8. Implementation. The City Manager or designee is authorized to sign and enter into the Purchase and Sale Agreement on behalf of the City and to take any other actions reasonably necessary to implement its terms.
Section 9. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Resolution that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are severable. The City declares that the City would have adopted this Resolution irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion of this Resolution.
Section 10. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting this resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this __ day of August, 2022.

SUBJECT:
License Agreement for APN's 0232-201-12 and 0232-201-13 RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve a License Agreement for property located south of Arrow Route bordered by Tokay Ave. and Citrus Ave in west central Fontana, more specifically described as APNs #0232-201-12 and 0232-201-13
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute any documents necessary or appropriate to effectuate said approvals and/or License Agreement.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Promote economic development by concentrating on job creation. · Practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
· Provide a diverse range of housing types and levels of affordability while addressing homelessness in the community by construction of affordable high-quality multi-family housing.
· Provide a diverse range of housing types and levels of affordability while addressing homelessness in the community by acquisition, substantial rehabilitation, and professional management of selected multi-family properties to provide more affordable units and reduce crime and code enforcement activity.
DISCUSSION:
Water of Life/CityLink, located at 8440 Nuevo, Ave. and 16815 Spring St., has a need to relocate from their current location due to the City’s need for the property they lease from us.
The city owned property referred to by APNs 0232-201-12 and 0232-201-13 South of Arrow Route bordered by Tokay Ave. and Citrus Ave has been identified as optimal for Water of Life/CityLink to acquire and build to their needs allowing them to move the CityLink operations from its current location to this new location.
The project is intended to be developed in three phases. The first phase would replace the services provided by CityLink at their current location and would allow them to vacate that facility by April 2024.

File #: 21-1815 Agenda Date: 11/9/2022
Agenda #: D. Category: Consent Calendar
To meet the development deadline for phase 1, Water of Life/Citylink needs to take possession of this property by 11/2022 so they can begin construction. Due to the complexities of the deal, we are not able to complete a sales contract in this time frame. Therefore, we are proposing a short-term license agreement to give Water of Life access to the property and begin construction. Monthly payments will be $10,133.
Proposed term for the license is 4 months to allow us to complete the sales contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City would receive monthly license proceeds in the amount of $10,133 for the duration of the lease.

Per City of Fontana's Streat Improvement Plan, Dwg. No. 5438, Sheet 2 of 5 (Contract Plans), the Agency coordinated with Southern California Edison (SCE) to relocate their existing power poles to a new location. Once the Angecy was ready to install traffic signal poles per City of Fontana's Traffic Signal Plan, Dwg. No. 5439, Sheet 2 of 2 (Contract Plans), the proposed traffic signal pole "G" height and the unforseen height of the relocated utility power lines did not meet the appropriate clearance. The Agency's best solution was to cut and lower the height of the proposed traffic signal pole so that the flat arm luminar can have the best clearance from SCE's power lines. Due to this conlifct, ILB had to remobilize in order to stand the traffic signal pole once it was welded down.

The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight and delivery.

10.4 In furtherance to, but not in limitation of the indemnity provisions in this Agreement, Contractor hereby expressly and specifically agrees that its obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless as provided in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or diminished by any statutory or constitutional immunity it enjoys from suits by its own employees or from limitations of liability or recovery under workers’ compensation laws.
