SUBJECT:
Acceptance of Final Map for Parcel Map No. 20250 and Abandonment of a Certain Portion of Right of Way of Boyle Avenue
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept Parcel Map No. 20250 located north of Slover Avenue, west of Juniper Avenue, east of Cypress Avenue, and south of the I-10 Freeway; accept as public dedicated streets and easements; and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to certify the abandonment of a certain portion of right of way of Boyle Avenue.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
· Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
On December 21st, 2021, the City of Fontana Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 20250 (TPM No. 20-015) and Design Review No. 20-022 to consolidate forty-five parcels into one parcel of approximately 32.3 acres for the development of a speculative commerce center totaling approximately 705,735 square feet. The subdivider, Sierra Avenue Industrial, LLC, has complied with the Conditions of Approval and dedicated the required streets and easements as a part of the project. The Parcel Map has been reviewed by the City Engineer and found to be substantially correct.
As a part of this Parcel Map, portions of excess road right-of-way on Boyle Avenue are no longer needed and will be abandoned. Pursuant to Section 66434(g) of the California Government Code and Section 66499.20.2 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Clerk must certify the abandonment of those certain portions of street right of way. The filing of this Parcel Map shall constitute an abandonment of those portions of the easements granted to the City of Fontana for street and public utility purposes. In accordance with the Subdivision Map Act, the Parcel Map is now being brought to the City Council for final approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will only approve the Parcel Map for recordation and authorize permits for the construction of the development, therefore there is no fiscal impact to the City resources at this time.

Resolutions Establishing Cannabis Hours of Operation and Permit Integrity Process Standards RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution 2023-002, Establishing Cannabis Hours of Operation; and,
2. Adopt Resolution 2023-003, Establishing Cannabis Permit Integrity Process Standards
3. Find that these actions are not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Promote economic development by concentrating on job creation. · Promote economic development by pursuing business attraction, retention, and expansion. · Promote economic development by striving to constantly improve the city's competitiveness. · Promote economic development by developing regulations for retail cannabis operations.
DISCUSSION:
Background
On July 26, 2022, the City Council approved the addition of Chapter 33 - “Cannabis Businesses and Activities” to the Code of the City of Fontana (“Code”) and modification of Chapter 30 - “Zoning and Development Code” to provide for limited retail sales of commercial cannabis. Minor amendments were approved on October 25, 2022 to rename “commercial cannabis” to “cannabis retailerstorefront” and to make minor modifications to Chapter 33 related to phasing, authorization letters, and locations for permit applications along with limiting the number of permits to be issued to any applicant to one.
In approving the new cannabis regulations, the City Council approved the establishment of a maximum of three (3) Permits. The Permits will be issued for one of each of three designated areas within the City (i.e., North, Central, and South). Within each of those designated areas, Permits may be issued in the following zone districts: C-1 (Community Commercial), C-2 (General Commercial), and Form-Based Code and Specific Plan areas designated in the proposed Ordinance No. 1899. In addition to all other applicable zoning regulations, no permit would be issued for a business located within a 600-foot radius of a school, a day care center, park, a youth and recreation center, or city boundaries.
Additionally, neither the Planning Commission, nor the City Council would play a role in the City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/19/2023
powered by Legistar™ 46
File #: 21-1900 Agenda Date: 1/24/2023
Agenda #: C. Category: Consent Calendar
Additionally, neither the Planning Commission, nor the City Council would play a role in the evaluation and scoring of applications for permits, nor would either play a role in the permit issuance.
The parameters and criteria for the issuance of a permit are set out in specific detail in Ordinance No. 1899 and include a rigorous four-phase application process, the implementation of which is wholly administrative.
Analysis:
Ordinance No. 1899, established the requirements for engaging in a commercial cannabis business within the City. The ordinance identified multiple steps that the city must complete prior to opening the application process. As part of the ordinance, the City Council must establish certain requirements by resolution; these include establishing allowable hours of operation for cannabis businesses and establishing permitting process integrity standards. Additionally, the City Council must approve an operating agreement for each permit issued prior to commencement of business. Staff proposes that the City Council approve the attached Resolution specifying hours of operation of no earlier than 9:00 a.m. and no later than 9:00 p.m. daily and approve the attached Resolution identifying permitting process integrity standards.
The adoption of hours of operation and permit integrity process standards for commercial cannabis businesses do not qualify as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).

WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that this Ordinance constitutes a valid exercise of police power in accordance with Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, is consistent with the language and intent of the AUMA, MAUCRSA, and related laws regulations, and policies issued by the state, consistent with the General Plan, and furthers the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the City of Fontana; WHEREAS, on July 26, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1899 adding Chapter 33 to the Fontana Municipal Code (“FMC”) to regulate commercial cannabis businesses within the City; and

Authorize the purchase of a CNG Freightliner M2 Dump Body Claw Truck.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Purchasing Office to use the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (Contract #40621-PII) for the purchase of one (1) 2024 Freightliner 114SD from Municipal Maintenance Equipment in the amount of $315,156.58, plus sales tax $24,424.63 and CA tire fee $10.50 for a total of $339,591.71.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Operate in a businesslike manner by creating a memorable customer experience with every interaction.
· Practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
· Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department, Utilities and Streets Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the City street infrastructure which covers a span of 43.07 square miles. The Claw Truck is an essential piece of equipment needed to maintain curb sides, streets and empty fields for debris removal. The department is requesting to purchase a new vehicle to replace one of the existing trucks. The truck being replaced will meet the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Rule 1196 CNG criteria. Additional funds were approved in the FY2022-2023 Supplemental Budget 21- 1407.
The selected Claw Truck is being recommended for purchase after a comprehensive review process by Department, field, and Fleet Services staff. Based upon the research, the truck that meets the departments needs is the Claw Truck mounted on a CNG Freightliner 114SD from Municipal Maintenance Equipment.
Fontana City Code Article V- Purchasing Section 10-152(4) authorizes bidding to be exempt since the competitive bidding was already conducted by another agency. Staff is recommending that City Council authorize this purchase between Municipal Maintenance Equipment and the City, and to “piggyback” off the Sourcewell Contract for the Claw Truck.

DISCUSSION:
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 significant part of this revitalization effort will be the creation of a sense of space in the area, a reason for people to visit the area and patronize the local businesses. To facilitate the implementation of this revitalization, staff has negotiated an agreement with Red Head Inc. whereby, in conjunction with the company’s professional branding team, the theater will be renovated and remarketed as the region’s premier intimate venue for live music and entertainment.
As part of the renovations to the Center Stage Theater, a new audio visual system is needed to meet City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/19/2023

the operations of the new venue for live music and entertainment. The current system is at end of life and was not designed to meet the needs and demands of the new venue. The analog based equipment has posed significant challenges in the area of operation for staff and outside parties. The system is no longer scalable and needs to be replaced. For this, the city issued an RFP seeking proposals from qualified audio visual contractors to lead renovations for an updated audio video system, lighting, and recording system for the technical aspects of the renovated venue.
Matrix Audio Visual Designs proposal has been selected from the proposals received. The vendor has the most comprehensive and overall best value proposed. The new system will address all audio, video, lighting, and control systems required to upgrade technologies located in the Center Stage Theater.

SUBJECT:
Temporary Reduction of Development Impact Fees
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-004, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Fontana temporarily reducing existing development impact fees for residential construction within the City.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To operate in a businesslike manner by correcting problems immediately. · To practice sound fiscal management by producing timely and accurate financial information. · To promote economic development by striving to constantly improve the city's competitiveness.
· To invest in the city's infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
· To increase citizen involvement by informing the public about issues, programs and accomplishments.
· To preserve the local environment for generations to come and to create a healthy economic and environmental future by creating communities and neighborhoods that are attractive, safe, and convenient for walkers and bicyclists.
DISCUSSION:
Costs for developing property and purchasing residential real estate in the City of Fontana have increased as a result of inflation and rising interest rates. In an effort to encourage continued orderly residential development, the City is proposing a program to temporarily reduce development impact fees for residential development. The purpose of this program would be to reduce the upfront costs of residential real estate development within the City, to make housing more affordable and encourage ongoing residential development.
Development impact fees are adopted pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code section 66000 et seq.). The Mitigation Fee Act requires that all development impact fees be supported by a nexus study demonstrating, among other things, that the fees are reasonably related to the impacts of new development, and roughly proportional to the cost of mitigating such impact for each new development. Revenues generated by development impact fees must be spent on projects designed to mitigate impacts of new development. The reduction of development impact fees means the City City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/19/2023

Agenda #: H. Category: Consent Calendar
will have less revenue to offset the impacts of such development. As such, the City will need to establish a revenue backfill from unrestricted revenues.
The use of unrestricted revenues to cover the lost development impact fee revenues serves a public purpose because it encourages the continuation of orderly residential development within the City for purposes of providing needed housing and the economic benefits associated with residential development.
The development impact fee reduction is proposed to last for a total of 6 months, subject to extension by the City Council. Should the City no longer allocate or appropriate unrestricted revenues to fund the program, the program would cease immediately. To qualify for the program each developer will be required to enter into a developer agreement, which among other things, will require construction to begin within ninety (90) days from the date of the agreement. Additional program requirements include:
· completion of construction within 270 days of permit issuance · a program term of six (6) months, unless extended by the City Council thirty (30) days prior to expiration or terminated earlier due to lack of unrestricted revenues available to cover the shortfall;
· limitation to residential construction only;
· temporary reduction of development impact fees by fifty percent (50%); and · applicable to all residential permits obtained between January 30, 2023, and July 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of staff recommendations will result in a reduction of fifty percent (50%) of projected residential development impact fee revenue over the next six (6) months. The total estimated lost revenue is estimated to be $4,500,000, which will be paid for from the city General Fund as well as state, federal, and regional grants and measures over the seven-year CIP period.
MOTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-___ of the City Council of the City of Fontana temporarily reducing existing development impact fees for residential construction within the City.

SUBJECT:
Approve Resolution Authorizing the City of Fontana to pick-up certain Employee Contributions to the City’s PTS-OBRA Plan pursuant to IRS Code Section 414(h)(2) RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-005, for the employer pick-up of certain employee contributions to the City’s PTS-OBRA Plan pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 414(h)(2).
2. Authorize the City Manager and appropriate members of City staff to execute any and all plan documents, subsequent agreements and any other related items, and to take all reasonable and necessary actions, on behalf of the City to carry out and implement the resolution COUNCIL GOALS:
· To operate in a businesslike manner by becoming more service oriented. · To practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
DISCUSSION:
The City currently maintains a Social Security replacement plan for its eligible part-time and seasonal employees (the “PTS-OBRA Plan”).
The City Council, pursuant to its Resolution No. 2022 - 127, previously authorized the migration of recordkeeping services for the PTS-OBRA Plan from Public Agency Retirement Services to Bencor.
Because the Bencor recordkeeping arrangement only supports pre-tax employee contributions (i.e., employee contributions that have been picked-up pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 414(h) (2)) and the pick-up of employee mandatory contributions to the PTS-OBRA Plan will result in a modest savings of taxes for participants, with no negative fiscal impact upon the City, the Human Resource Department is recommending Council adoption of the attached resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the pick-up resolution should have little or no fiscal impact on the City’s finances.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

Receive and File the City of Fontana’s Single Audit Financial Report for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021.

Accordingly, the City’s Fiscal Year 2020- 2021 audit was completed by the accounting firm Davis Farr LLP with the compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement.
It was Davis Farr LLP’s opinion that the schedule of expenditure of federal awards was fairly stated in all material aspects in relation to the financial statements and an unmodified opinion was issued.
The SAR, (Attachment 1), includes a report on Internal Controls in accordance with General Auditing Standard, a report/notes on compliance for each Major Federal Program, and a schedule of findings and questions costs.
Copies of the SAR have been made available to the public at the City Clerk’s Office.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards
Independent Auditors’ Report
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Fontana (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 9, 2022.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as described in the accompanying schedule of schedule of findings and questioned costs we identified certain deficiencies as items 2021-001 through 2021-004 that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instance of noncompliance or other matters that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards, in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
City of Fontana’s Response to Findings
The City of Fontana’s response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of audit findings and questioned costs. The City of Fontana’s responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the responses.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditors’ Report
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Fontana’s (City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirement of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance.

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did identify a deficiency in internal control over compliance, as described in the schedule of findings and questioned costs as 2021-005, that we consider to be a material weakness.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and have issued our report thereon dated June 9, 2022, which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditure of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Year Ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Applicable to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
(a) Scope of Presentation
The accompanying schedule presents only the expenditures incurred by the City that are reimbursable by agencies providing federal assistance. For the purposes of this schedule, federal financial assistance includes both federal financial assistance received directly from a federal agency, as well as federal funds received indirectly from a non-federal agency or other organization. Only the portion of program expenditures reimbursable with such federal funds are reported in the accompanying schedule.

Section II - Financial Statement Findings
2021-001 Journal Entries Detected During the Audit
Certain audit schedules were received after the start of the audit, resulting in delays and journal entries provided to the auditor after the scheduled timing of the audit. As a result of audit procedures and the City’s review of financial information for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, there were six material audit adjustments.
The auditing standards acknowledge that the auditor should not be part of the City’s system of internal control because adjusting material transactions in the financial statements creates an independence threat and reduces auditor transparency. An important element of controls over financial reporting is for management to identify adjustments necessary for financial statements to be fairly stated.
Recommendation
An important element of controls over financial reporting is for management to identify adjustments necessary for financial statements to be fairly stated.
Whenever possible, adjustments should be reflected in the accounting records prior to the start of the audit. When this is not possible, management should identify and communicate to the auditors the potential areas of adjustment that may need to be addressed during the audit process. This will help to reduce the risk of material misstatement.
Management Response
Management acknowledges the importance of making any adjustment, material and/or immaterial, prior to the start of the audit. The City’s fiscal year-end closing process for June 30, 2021, was significantly delayed and was directly related to inadequate available staffing resources mainly due to staff turnover. The Finance Department has recently undergone a reorganization and as part of its restructuring and in agreement with the recommendation, will thoroughly reconcile accounts, additions, deletions, and other adjustments prior to the start of fieldwork. Any adjustments that occur during the audit process will be communicated to the auditors.
2021-002 Reconciliation of Investments
During our review cash and investments, we noted the amounts recorded in the trial balance did not agree with amounts reported per the bank statements.
Accordingly, there was not a reconciliation performed over this particular investment account as of the start of the audit.
187
10 CITY OF FONTANA
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
Year ended June 30, 2021
Recommendation
We recommend all cash and investments recorded in the trial balance be reconciled to amounts reported in the bank statements prior to the start of the audit.
Management Response
Management recognizes the risk in not reconciling all cash related items prior to the start of the audit. The City’s timely reconciliation of investments was directly related to inadequate available staffing resources mainly due to staff turnover. The Finance Department has recently undergone a reorganization and as part of its restructuring and in agreement with the recommendation, has since allocated additional professional accounting staff to the Accounting Division and is implementing a monthly close process which will ensure timely reconciliation of all bank accounts and investments along with the recording of the proper adjustments.
2021-003 Capital Assets
A significant amount of time was spent by the City after the start of the audit to update the year end capital asset records and reconcile those updated records to the general ledger. To ensure a timely completion of these significant transactions at year end, the City should perform and update reconciliations throughout the year which would ease the effort needed at year end. In addition, there were several adjustments recorded by the City during the course of the audit that affected this area and resulted in updates to the accounting schedules. Adjustments included property sold but not reflected in the accounting schedules and property constructed by developers and paid for by City that was not reflected in the accounting schedules.
Recommendation
We recommend that the City consider performing quarterly updates of its capital assets listings to ease the burden at year end. Instead of having to perform a full year’s worth of updates, the effort needed at year end would be reduced due to the periodic reconciliations performed during the year. This would also help identify errors in a timely manner and give the City an opportunity to correct them prior to the start of the audit.
In addition, the preparer of the capital asset schedule relies on external department notification of sales, disposals and acquisition of capital assets. The City should develop controls to mitigate the reliance on notification when such transactions have occurred.
188
11 CITY OF FONTANA
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
Year ended June 30, 2021
Management Response
Management recognizes the importance of recording transactions involving capital assets accurately and timely. To avoid adjustments and misstatement to the capital asset schedule, the Finance department will be performing quarterly reconciliations of Capital Asset related schedules and transactions. Finance will also be attending regular CIP meetings to discuss work in progress, completed projects, and acquisition/disposal/sale of assets. The Accounting Division is also implementing new internal procedures to ensure that information about capital assets is collected in a timely manner for proper recording. This includes reviewing all accounts related to capital activity, scheduling regular meetings with our departments to ensure flow of communication, and reviewing council meeting minutes to ensure all capital related activity is captured.
2021-004 Payroll
During our review of internal controls for payroll, we noted that payroll employees have access to modify and change employee information and pay rates. We noted that although payroll change reports were generated, they were not reviewed by someone independent of the payroll process.
Recommendation
We recommend that a payroll change report be reviewed by Finance or Human Resources for each payroll period to ensure all changes are authorized.
Management Response
Management agrees with the recommendation and has implemented an additional step to the payroll procedure which includes the monthly review of any payroll changes in the previous month changes by the human resources department. This will mitigate the risk of having any unauthorized transactions processed through the payroll process.

Federal Program Cluster: Highway Planning and Construction and Recreational Trails Program
Compliance Requirement: Allowable Costs - Payroll
Type of Finding: Material Weakness
Questioned Costs: $0
Criteria: 2 CFR 200.430(i)(1)(vii) Standards for Documentation of Personnel Expenses
(1) Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must: (vii) Support the distribution of the employee's salary or wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than one Federal award; a Federal award and non-Federal award; an indirect cost activity and a direct cost activity; two or more indirect activities which are allocated using different allocation bases; or an unallowable activity and a direct or indirect cost activity.
Condition: Of the 40 sample selections of payroll costs, the City was not able to provide timecards for 28 of the employees to support the time charged to the program.
Cause: Due to a change in software, the City was unable to generate time cards of the time charged within the former accounting system.
Effect: Supporting employee timecards are not available to support the allocation of payroll costs.
Recommendation: We recommend timecards be retained in a secure IT environment to support payroll costs.

Year ended June 30, 2021
Management Response
Management acknowledges and agrees with the importance of maintaining source documents used to charge salaries and benefits to Federal awards to accurately reflect the work performed. Fiscal Year 2020-21 was the implementation year of the City’s new payroll system. As such, it was determined that some of the new payroll system settings were implemented in error and resulted in additional charges to Federal awards that were not based upon detailed timecards, personnel activity reports, or equivalent documentation. This programming issue was fully corrected in Fiscal Year 2022-23 and staff is working diligently to reconcile both 2020-21 and 2021-22 fiscal years.

B. CLIENT has relationships with various entities and individuals that may desire Prepaid Card Account (as defined below) products and services such as those offered by FiCentive (although CLIENT makes no representation or warranty regarding such willingness); and C.

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing and the mutual and dependent promises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
DEFINITIONS
The following definitions apply to the terms set forth below when used in this Agreement:
1.01 ACH means Automated Clearing House which consists of a collection of electronic interbank networks used to process transactions electronically.

1.18 Payment Network means Visa® or MasterCard® or other payment networks that act as a gateway between Acquirers and Issuers for authorizing and funding transactions and whose brands appear on the 196

1.19 Personal Identification Number (PIN) means the code that assists an Issuer to authenticate the Cardholder for the purpose of approving a Card transaction. PINs may or may not be used in association with a Card, based upon the Program details.

FiCentive may, from time to time, modify the Rules in which event FiCentive shall provide written notice to CLIENT of said changes. However, in no case will CLIENT be required to operate under amended Rules which CLIENT has not agreed to in writing unless such changes are as a result of requirements imposed by the Issuer, a Payment Network, or government laws or regulations.
1.25 Settlement means the movement of funds between CLIENT and FiCentive or Issuing Bank in accordance with the Operating Rules and Processor Rules.
1.26 Prefunding Account means the account maintained by FiCentive or Issuer used for Settlement of all CLIENT funded or facilitated loads to a Card Account.
1.27 The System means the computer equipment, computer software and related proprietary technology, equipment, business methods and documentation used at any time and from time to time by FiCentive to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement. The System is a real-time, host-based processing system that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Among other things, the System serves to effectuate the simultaneous electronic transfer of funds between various financial accounts including Card Accounts.
Based upon the Program description, loading funds to a Card Account may occur electronically through an account-to-account transfer, through a bank, retailers or others who provide loading services and by direct payroll deposit. Based upon the Program description, funds in Accounts may be removed through an electronic account-to-account transfer, through use of a Card at an ATM to withdraw cash, through use of a Card to make purchases from Merchants who participate in a Payment Network that is authorized for the Program and through the utilization of ACH transactions or other services.

1.29 External Authorization refers to any Transaction on a Cardholder Account that is authorized by the CLIENT or a CLIENT-controlled system via a webservice, Application Programming Interface (API) or similar interface. FiCentive refers to this process as “external authorization” or “pseudo-gateway”.

The Settled Transaction amount may differ from the amount provided in the associated External Authorization that is sent originally to the CLIENT or CLIENT-controlled system. This difference is commonly attributable to an uncertain final debit amount at the time of the initial authorization. Any claim or dispute relating to or arising out of a difference between the Settled Transaction and the External Authorization will be the sole responsibility of FiCentive.
1. APPOINTMENT OF CLIENT AS DISTRIBUTOR

3. REVENUE; CONSUMER FEES

All fees that are assessed in conjunction with CLIENT Cards or CLIENT Card Accounts must be disclosed in the Cardholder Agreement, regardless of whether CLIENT or FiCentive assess and/or collects the fees. All fees assessed and collected by FiCentive on behalf of CLIENT will be paid to CLIENT according to Schedule B attached hereto.

The parties agree that time is of the essence in such a situation, and that should such a request for fraud recovery occur after the perpetrator of the fraud has spent the funds in question, FiCentive will have no ability and no obligation to refund or recover such funds. FiCentive will cooperate fully with CLIENT personnel in an effort to locate and prosecute the perpetrator of such fraud.

CLIENT warrants it has the appropriate authorizations from CLIENT customers to provide Cardholder Information to FiCentive.
6.2 Data Transmission. FiCentive is bound by the requirements of the Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) as well as other requirements for the safeguarding of cardholder and consumer information. As such, FiCentive must encrypt the transmission of data to CLIENT. If CLIENT handles any Cardholder Account data, including the Primary Account Number (PAN), CLIENT shall also implement policies and procedures to ensure that it adheres to PCI-DSS requirements and procedures.
CLIENT shall comply with the data transmission and encryption protocol established and modified from time to time by the PCI-DSS without the need for approval of CLIENT for such modifications. FiCentive shall use its reasonable best efforts to give CLIENT timely notice of all changes to the System or the Program which are being made to comply with any known changes related to PCI-DSS.

Confidential October 2022 and procedures to manage CLIENT Partners and service providers, ensure that CLIENT Partners and service providers adhere to the PCI-DSS requirements and procedures which can be found at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/, shall conduct due diligence as required by FiCentive on each CLIENT Partner and service provider prior to connecting to any CLIENT Partner or service provider and shall implement policies and procedures for disconnecting from said CLIENT Partners and service providers. If required by a Payment Network or Issuer, CLIENT will allow for security and usage audits performed by approved card forensics auditor and provide them full cooperation and access to conduct such audits, in the event of a cardholder data compromise. Regardless of contract termination, CLIENT will continue to treat cardholder data as confidential.
6.4 Fraud, Loss, and or Compromise. Card Accounts that are loaded prior be being registered, issued, distributed, should be treated as cash, regardless of the recipient.

7. PREFUNDING REQUIREMENTS AND SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES

CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that the Issuing Bank is the distributor of funds to Cardholders in accordance with various Cardholder Agreements between the Issuing Bank and the Cardholders. CLIENT further acknowledges and agrees that all card loads initiated by CLIENT to CLIENT Cards (“CLIENT Funded Loads”) must be prefunded or deposited to a bank account specified by FiCentive (“Prefunding Account”) in advance of initiating CLIENT Funded Loads. Deposits made by CLIENT to the Prefunding Account will be made available for CLIENT Funded Loads on the next business day. The total dollar amount available for CLIENT Funded Loads (“Prefunding Available Balance”) will be calculated as the total deposits made by CLIENT to the Prefunding Account through the previous business day minus the aggregate dollar amount of all initiated CLIENT Funded Loads and all requested withdrawals from the Prefunding Account per Section 7.2. The Prefunding Available Balance may also be reduced by the dollar amount of any delinquent balance owed to FiCentive as determined by the invoice terms set forth in Section 11.2. CLIENT will only be able to initiate CLIENT Funded Loads, in the aggregate, up to the dollar amount of the Prefunding Available Balance.
The Cardholder Funds shall be the sole property of Cardholders after the time CLIENT Funded Loads have posted to the Card Account, unless otherwise specified in the Cardholder Agreement. CLIENT agrees that Cardholder Funds will not be subject to creditors (whether secured or unsecured) of CLIENT or its affiliates, whether in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against CLIENT, its affiliates or otherwise, unless the funds are specified as corporate owned in the Cardholder Agreement.
7.2 Prefunding Account Refunds and Withdrawals. CLIENT will be entitled to a refund of the remaining Prefunding Available Balance ninety (90) days from the termination of CLIENT Card sales.
CLIENT may also request withdrawals from the Prefunding Account up to the Prefunding Available Balance, and FiCentive agrees to transfer these funds to an account of CLIENT’s choosing within five (5) business days via the ACH network. CLIENT understands that CLIENT Funded Loads cannot be returned or withdrawn by CLIENT and will remain the property of the Cardholder after the termination of CLIENT Card sales or this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in the Cardholder Agreement.
7.3 Fraud Limitations. FiCentive shall not be held responsible for any losses due to fraudulent CLIENT Funded Loads initiated using CLIENT’s electronic credentials (e.g., username, password) through a web portal or web service (API) provided by FiCentive. Please see Section 5.2 for information about Fraud Recovery.

CLIENT represents that it owns the technology necessary, or has the contractual ability through a third party, to halt sales and reloads of CLIENT Cards at all CLIENT Partners without regard to whether the CLIENT Partners are cooperative in halting such sales or reloads. Reasons for invoking an “emergency suspension” may include (a) a regulatory change; (b) the need to protect or preserve property; (c) the failure to fund any shortfall of the Prefunding Account; or (d) any other reason, determined by FiCentive using commercially reasonable judgment, that constitutes an immediate need to halt Card sales and reloads. In the event of such emergency suspension, FiCentive and CLIENT will have fifteen (15) days from the date of such emergency termination notice to mutually decide whether to resume Card sales and/or reloads.

13. INDEMNIFICATION
13.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, FiCentive shall defend (with counsel of CLIENT’s choosing), indemnify and hold the CLIENT, 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 of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of FiCentive, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents in connection with the performance of the FiCentive’s services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all damages, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses.
FiCentive's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by FiCentive, the CLIENT, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers.
14. DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
14.1 Limitation on Damages. The parties to this Agreement each waive any right to recover, and any rights to make claims for, punitive, exemplary, multiple, pain-and-suffering, mental distress, incidental, indirect, consequential, special, and/or similar damages under any theory whatsoever, even if the Party from whom such damages are sought is aware of the possibility of such damages. FiCentive's maximum liability to CLIENT shall be limited to an amount equal to the total costs and damages incurred by CLIENT, during the 180 day period prior to FiCentive's receipt of written notice of the alleged breach. CLIENT's maximum liability will be limited to an amount equal to the total CLIENT Fees paid by CLIENT and CLIENT Partners to FiCentive, less any one-time or setup fees, during the 180-day period prior to CLIENT’sreceipt of written notice of the alleged breach. The parties have agreed on this limitation in recognition of the fact that the calculation of any actual damages would be exceedingly difficult and subject to speculation and possible abuse and that the foregoing compromises benefit both parties equally. The limitation of liability set forth in this Section 14.1 shall not apply to any data breach or unauthorized dissemination of information, whether unintentional, negligent, willful or otherwise, which was gathered or transferred pursuant to or arising out of this Agreement.
14.2 Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that in the event of a breach of Section 15 below, the disclosing Party could suffer irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and therefore, in addition to any other remedy that the disclosing Party might have at law or in equity, injunctive relief may be appropriate. Neither Party will be required to post a bond in order to obtain any injunctive nor other equitable relief and that a Party's only remedy, if an injunction or other equitable relief is entered against it, will be to obtain dissolution of such injunction or other order.
15. CONFIDENTIALITY
15.1 Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in the course of this Agreement and the Parties’ relationship, it may be given access to or otherwise obtain such information of the other Party as such other Party reasonably considers confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”).

99999.91910\40919720.1 Page 14 Usio, Inc. Confidential October 2022 receiving Party's employees or agents provided that the receiving Party can show that those same employees or agents had no access to the Confidential Information received hereunder; or (v) is required to be disclosed under applicable law or in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding, provided the disclosing Party has been given prior notice and opportunity to contest the need for such disclosure or to seek a protective order therefore.
15.3 Use of Confidential Information. Each Party hereby agrees to hold the other Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information, or any part thereof, to any third-party, except those of its officers, employees, consultants, or professional advisors on a need to know basis in order for the receiving Party to perform its obligations hereunder, provided that such officers, employees, consultants, or professional advisors shall, prior to any disclosure, have expressly agreed to be bound to confidentiality obligations no less strict than those described herein. Each Party shall remain solely responsible to the other Party for the conduct of its employees and agents with respect to the Confidential Information. FiCentive acknowledges that the CLIENT is a governmental entity, and that California law limits the ability of the CLIENT to shield from public disclosure any information given to the CLIENT in a tangible format. Accordingly, the Parties agree to work together to avoid disclosures to CLIENT by FiCentive of confidential information that would result in economic loss or damage to FiCentive if such information were to be disclosed to third persons by Customer pursuant to a request submitted under the California Public Records Act, California Government Code §§ 6250 – 6276.48, or other similar public disclosure law.
15.4 Public Announcements.

In addition, CLIENT will not make any announcement that discusses Prepaid Cards that are supported or managed by FiCentive without prior written approval of FiCentive. The foregoing shall not restrict in any respect either Party’s ability to communicate information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to such Party’s affiliates’, officers, directors, employees and professional advisers.
16. INSURANCE REQUIREMENT
16.1 Insurance. FiCentive agrees to purchase and maintain at all times, during the term of this Agreement: 1) a Professional Liability Insurance policy with coverage limits of at least $2,000,000; and 2) Cyber Liability Insurance policy with limits not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence or claim, $2,000,000 aggregate.

(i) FiCentive will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. FiCentive will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following: Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. FiCentive agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(ii) FiCentive will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the FiCentive, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. (iii) FiCentive will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the FiCentive's legal duty to furnish information. (iv) FiCentive will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the FiCentive's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. 220

(vi) FiCentive will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
(vii) In the event of the FiCentive's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this Agreement or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the FiCentive may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law. (viii) FiCentive will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (i) and the provisions of paragraphs (i) through (vii) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. FiCentive will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a FiCentive becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the FiCentive may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the Agreement.
The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to 221

Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous.

(iii) Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages. In the event of any violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (ii) of this section the FiCentive and any subcontractor responsible therefor shall be liable for the unpaid wages. In addition, such FiCentive and subcontractor shall be liable to the United States (in the case of work done under contract for the District of Columbia or a territory, to such District or to such territory), for liquidated damages. Such liquidated damages shall be computed with respect to each individual laborer or mechanic, including watchmen and guards, employed in violation of the clause set forth in paragraph (ii) of this section, in the sum of $10 for each calendar day on which such individual was required or permitted to work in excess of the standard workweek of forty hours without payment of the overtime wages required by the clause set forth in paragraph (ii) of this section.
(iv) Withholding for unpaid wages and liquidated damages. The City shall upon its own action or upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld, from any moneys payable on account of work performed by the FiCentive or subcontractor under any such contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federally-assisted contract subject to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, which is held by the same prime contractor, such sums as may be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such contractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the clause set forth in paragraph (iii) of this section.

SUBJECT:
Adding Eligible Capital Improvement Project to Development Impact Fee Project List K
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-006, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Fontana delegating authority to the City Manager or their designee to add eligible Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to the Development Impact Fee Project List (DIF LIST) and taking other actions relating thereto.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To operate in a businesslike manner by correcting problems immediately. · To practice sound fiscal management by producing timely and accurate financial information. · To promote economic development by striving to constantly improve the city's competitiveness.
· To invest in the city's infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
· To increase citizen involvement by informing the public about issues, programs and accomplishments.
· To preserve the local environment for generations to come and to create a healthy economic and environmental future by creating communities and neighborhoods that are attractive, safe, and convenient for walkers and bicyclists.
DISCUSSION:
City staff recently reviewed the City’ s Development Impact Fee (DIF) schedule and DIF LIST. As a part of this review, staff found that the current DIF LIST lacked certain improvements that are necessary to support new development within the City. As a result, staff recommends delegating the authority to the City Manager or their designee to supplement eligible City’s approved Capital Improvement Projects to DIF LIST as necessary for, or as mitigation for, ongoing growth.
By way of example, staff proposed, and the City Council previously approved, the addition of a tree lined median on Jurupa Avenue. The improvement was proposed as an air quality mitigation measure to offset the direct impacts of new and ongoing industrial development in the surrounding area.
Adding this improvement to the DIF LIST will enable DIF funds to be used for construction. Although these projects can be added administratively, staff is requesting formal approval of the administrative process outlined above. Any project additions that are made administratively in the future under this process will be added to the seven-year CIP to be formally approved by the City Council each new City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/19/2023

process will be added to the seven-year CIP to be formally approved by the City Council each new fiscal year.
This action will not result in a DIF rate increase, or otherwise impact the nexus analysis supporting the existing DIF schedule. The purpose of this resolution is to ensure that DIF funds can be spent on projects necessary to mitigate impacts of new development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
MOTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-___ of the City Council of the City of Fontana delegating authority to the City Manager or their designee to add eligible CIP to the DIF LIST and taking other actions relating thereto.

DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana began a partnership with Water of Life church in 2009 to provide services to lowincome residents and homeless in Fontana. That service was established as CityLink and is housed in a city owned property at 8440 Nuevo Ave near Spring St. The city intends to redevelop this area and has a need to clear these properties. The city owns property south of Arrow Blvd. between Tokay Ave and Citrus Ave, which, if sold to Water of Life Church, would allow CityLink to build new facilities and expand services to homeless and low-income individuals in Fontana. The property is currently undeveloped and is 4.2 acres across two parcels - 0232-201-012 and 0232-201-013. This property was acquired through eminent domain condemnation and has completed the Surplus Land Act process. CityLink intends to build new food storage and distribution, administration, and homeless housing facilities on this site.
The project will be built in three phases:
· Phase 1 - Food pantry storage, distribution, and offices City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 1/19/2023
powered by Legistar™235
File #: 21-1964 Agenda Date: 1/24/2023
Agenda #: O. Category: Consent Calendar
· Phase 2 - Multipurpose room, child play area
· Phase 3 - Low Income and homeless housing
The City has been negotiating on this property sale since June 2022. CityLink currently has a license agreement with the City on this property with a monthly rent payment of $10,133. This sale will supersede the license agreement and payments made on the license agreement will be credited to this purchase agreement.
Due to the state of emergency declared by the State of California and City of Fontana for the duration of the COVID pandemic, plus 9 months after the end of that state of emergency, the lease payments from Water of Life/CityLink on the Nuevo property has been in forbearance. This agreement and payment will supersede the lease payment for Nuevo and will be the only regular payments made to the city.
The agreed upon terms are as follows:
· The selling price is $3,040,000 which is the price the city paid for the land based on an appraisal.
· The city will provide the loan at a 10-year fixed rate of 4%. · The interest only payments will be $10,133 a month.
· After 10 years buyer will make a $3,040,000 balloon payment. · Closing costs will be split evenly between the buyer and seller.
The project is fully entitled, and the buyer is ready to begin construction immediately. The benefits to the city in completing this sale include allowing the city to continue to implement its vision to revitalize the downtown area as well as dramatically improving the services available to low-income Fontana residents and homeless.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact associated with the approval of the purchase and sale agreement is monthly interest income in the amount of $10,133 for the next ten years (based upon an interest rate of 4% per annum) with a balloon principal payment of $3,040,000 due on or before the maturity date of March 1, 2033. The fiscal impact for the remainder of 2022-23 is $40,532 or $10,133 per month in interest revenue for March through June.

PROMISSORY NOTE
$3,040,000.00 _______________, 2023
___________, California
THIS SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE (“Note”) is made on January ___, 2023 by WATER OF LIFE COMMUNITY CHURCH, a California nonprofit religious corporation (“Borrower”) to CITY OF FONTANA, a California municipal corporation (“Lender”), to evidence a loan made by Lender to Borrower in the principal amount of Three Million and Forty Thousand Dollars ($3,040,000.00) (“Principal Amount”) The entire amount of unpaid principal, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any costs or fees owing under this Note shall be due and payable in full on March 1, 2033 (“Maturity Date”). This Note is made in connection with a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions dated _______, 2023 (“PSA”), a “Deed of Trust” dated _________, 2023 (“Deed of Trust”), Declaration and Use Covenant dated _________, 2023 (“Use Covenant”), and Affordability Covenant dated ________, 2023 (“Covenant”).
This Note shall be subject to the following additional provisions:
1. Payment Covenant. For value received, Borrower promises to pay Lender, in legal tender of the United States of America, or at such other place as may be designated in writing by Lender, the Principal Amount, together with interest as set forth below.
2. Interest. Interest shall be computed based on a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year. Commencing on the date of this Note, interest on the outstanding principal balance due under this Note shall accrue at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum.
3. Payment.
(a) Interest Only Payments for Ten Years. Beginning March 1, 2023, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter for a period of ten (10) years, Borrower shall make monthly interest only payments, based on an interest rate of four percent (4%) per annum, in the amount of Ten Thousand One Hundred and Thirty Three Dollars ($10,133). (b) BALLOON PAYMENT. THIS NOTE REQUIRES A BALLOON
PAYMENT OF THREE MILLION AND FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,040,000.00) ON OR BEFORE MARCH 1, 2033 (“MATURITY DATE”), PLUS ANY ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON, WHICH IS DUE ON THE MATURITY DATE OF THIS NOTE. THE AMOUNT
OF THE BALLOON PAYMENT IS SUBJECT TO REDUCTION IN THE EVENT BORROWER PREPAYS ANY PRINCIPAL DUE UNDER THIS NOTE. LIKEWISE, THE
AMOUNT OF THE BALLOON PAYMENT IS SUBJECT TO INCREASE IN THE EVENT BORROWER BECOMES DELINQUENT IN BORROWER’S PAYMENTS UNDER THIS NOTE. CAUTION: LENDER SHALL GIVE BORROWER WRITTEN NOTICE, ACCORDING 258
16498.10023\40972400.1 2
TO THE TERMS OF CIVIL CODE SECTION 2966, AT LEAST 90 AND NOT MORE THAN 150 DAYS BEFORE THE BALLOON PAYMENT IS DUE. LENDER AND BORROWER ARE
AWARE THAT REFINANCING OF THE BALLOON PAYMENT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR
IMPOSSIBLE, DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS IN THE CONDITIONAL MORTGAGE MARKETPLACE AT THAT TIME. THERE ARE NO ASSURANCES THAT NEW
FINANCING OR A LOAN EXTENSION WILL BE AVAILABLE WHEN THE BALLOON PREPAYMENT IS DUE. IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT BY BORROWER: (A) LENDER
MAY HAVE TO REINSTATE AND/OR MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON ANY AND ALL
SENIOR ENCUMBRANCES (INCLUDING REAL PROPERTY TAXES) IN ORDER TO PROTECT LENDER’S SECURED INTEREST; (B) LENDER’S RIGHTS ARE GENERALLY
LIMITED TO FORECLOSURE ON THE PROPERTY, PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 580b; AND (C) THE PROPERTY MAY LACK SUFFICIENT EQUITY TO PROTECT LENDER’S INTERESTS IF THE PROPERTY DECREASES IN VALUE.
THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 2966 OF THE CIVIL CODE, WHICH
PROVIDES THAT THE LENDER OF THIS NOTE SHALL GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE
TO THE TRUSTOR, OR HIS SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST, OF PRESCRIBED INFORMATION AT LEAST 90 AND NOT MORE THAN 150 DAYS BEFORE ANY BALLOON PAYMENT IS DUE.
4. Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default under this Note:
(a) Borrower fails to pay any amount due hereunder within thirty (30) days of its due date and receipt of written notice; or
(b) Any default by Borrower under this Note, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Deed of Trust, or the Covenant which extends beyond applicable notice and cure periods, or if no such period is provided, then if there is any default that extends more than ten days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice; provided if such default cannot be cured with reasonable diligence within ten days; or
(c) Any default by Borrower under any other material obligation of Borrower recorded against the Property after the expiration of all applicable cure periods, which if uncured would result in a claim against the Property superior to the Deed of Trust.
Borrower shall not be considered in default under this Note until the expiration of all notice and cure periods provided to Borrower.
Upon the occurrence of any uncured event of default, or at any time thereafter, at the option of the Payee hereof, the entire unpaid principal and interest owing on this Note shall become immediately due and payable. This option may be exercised at any time following any such event, and the acceptance of one or more installments thereafter shall not constitute a waiver of Payee’s option. Payee’s failure to exercise such option shall not constitute a waiver of such option with respect to any subsequent event. Payee’s failure in the exercise of any other right or remedy 259
16498.10023\40972400.1 3
hereunder or under any agreement which secures the indebtedness or is related thereto shall not affect any right or remedy and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof.
5. Default Interest Rate. At all times when Borrower is in default hereunder by reason of Borrower’s failure to pay principal due under this Note within applicable cure periods, the interest rate on the sums as to which Borrower is in default (including principal, if Payee has elected to declare it immediately due and payable), shall be the highest rate then allowed by law as of the date of the default or 10% whichever is lower.
6. Waivers. Borrower and any endorsers hereof and all others who may become liable for all or any part of this obligation, severally waive presentment for payment, demand and protest and notice of protest, and of dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly consent to any extension of the time of payment hereof or of any installment hereof, to the release of any party liable for this obligation, and any such extension or release may be made without notice to any of said parties and without any way affecting or discharging this liability.
7. Security. Borrower's obligations under this Note are secured by that certain Deed of Trust with Assignment of Rents, of even date herewith, made by Borrower in favor of Lender (the “Deed of Trust”), granting Lender a first priority lien against the fee interest in that certain real property described in the Deed of Trust (the “Property”).
8. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the entire amounts outstanding hereunder without penalty or premium.
9. Application of Payments. Any payments made under this Note shall be applied in the following order: (a) to the repayment of expenses advanced by Lender under this Note or under the Deed of Trust; (b) to accrued interest payable under this Note; and (c) to principal payable under this Note.
10. Legal Costs.

Any judgment or order entered in such action shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys' and experts' fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment. The amount of attorneys' and experts' fees and costs due hereunder shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by a jury.

DEED OF TRUST AND ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
This DEED OF TRUST AND ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS, made January __, 2023, between WATER OF LIFE COMMUNITY CHURCH, ____________________________, herein called TRUSTOR, whose address is: _________________________________. __________________________________, a California corporation, herein called TRUSTEE, and
CITY OF FONTANA, a California municipal corporation, herein called BENEFICIARY, WITNESSETH: That Trustor grants to Trustee in Trust, with Power of Sale, that property described in Exhibit A, attached hereto, together with the rents, issues, and profits thereof.
For the Purpose of Securing (1) Payment of the sum of Three Million and Forty Thousand Dollars ($3,040,000.00) with interest thereon according to the terms of a promissory note or notes of even date herewith made by Trustor, payable to order of Beneficiary, and extensions or renewals thereof, and (2) the performance of each agreement of Trustor incorporated by reference or contained herein, (3) Payment of additional sums and interest thereon which may hereafter be loaned to Trustor, or his successors or assigns, when evidenced by a promissory note or notes reciting that they are secured by this Deed of Trust.
BALLOON PAYMENT: The note securing this Deed of Trust is subject to Section 2966 of the Civil Code which provides that the holder of the note shall give written notice to the Trustor, or his successor in interest, of prescribed information at least 90 and not more than 150 days before any balloon payment is due.
A. To protect the security of this Deed of Trust, Trustor agrees:
(1) To keep said property in good condition and repair; not to remove or demolish any building thereon; to complete or restore promptly and in good and workmanlike manner any building which may be constructed, damaged or destroyed thereon and to pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished therefor; to comply with all laws affecting said property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made thereon; not to commit, suffer or permit any act upon said property in violation of law; to cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, fumigate, prune and 264
16498.10023\40972400.1 2
do all other acts which from the character or use of said property may be reasonably necessary, the specific enumeration's herein not excluding the general. (2) To provide, maintain and deliver to Beneficiary all insurance required under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, dated on or about __________, 2023, and, as applicable, any fire and extended coverage property insurance covering all improvements on the property against loss or damage in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost, with loss payable to Beneficiary. The amount collected under any fire or other insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at option of Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. All policies required hereunder shall be with companies having a Best's A-VIII rating (and if Best's no longer exists, an equivalent rating). Copies of all policies of insurance or certificates thereof shall be delivered to Beneficiary. As often as any such policies shall expire or terminate, renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained in like manner and to like extent. All policies of insurance must contain a provision that the company writing such policy will give both parties thirty (30) days' advance written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of insurance, unless such cancellation or lapse is as a result of failure to pay premiums, in which event written notice shall be given at least ten (10) days in advance. If Borrower fails to purchase, renew or maintain any insurance policies required herein, Beneficiary shall have the right to so purchase any such insurance and the amount of any such advance by Beneficiary shall constitute additional loan amounts as described in Section A(5) below. (3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee, and to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorney's fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed. (4) To pay: at least ten (10) days before delinquency all taxes and assessments affecting said property, including assessments on appurtenant water stock; when due, all encumbrances, charges and liens, with interest, on said property or any part thereof, which appear to be prior or superior hereto; all costs; fees and expenses of this Trust.
Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then Beneficiary or Trustee, but without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may: make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable fees. (5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and to pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby any amount demanded by the Beneficiary not to exceed the maximum allowed by law at the time when said statement is demanded.
B. It is mutually agreed:
265
16498.10023\40972400.1 3
(1) That any award of damages in connection with any condemnation for public use of or injury to said property or any part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary who may apply or release such moneys received by him in the same manner and with the same effect as above provided or disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance. (2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive his right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.
(3) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of beneficiary and presentation of this Deed and said note for endorsement, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of said property; consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon; or join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof.
(4) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating all sums secured hereby have been paid, and surrender of this Deed and said Note to Trustee for cancellation and retention or other disposition as Trustee in its sole discretion may choose and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The Grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto." (5) After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell said property at the time and placed fixed by it in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale.
Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of said property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of: all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
(6) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where said property is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers and duties.
Said instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed is recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee. 266
16498.10023\40972400.1 4
(7) That this Deed applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns. The term Beneficiary shall mean the owner and holder, including pledgees, of the note secured hereby, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein. In this Deed, whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural. (8) That Trustee Accepts this Trust when this Deed, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Deed of Trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.

SUBJECT:
Resolution Establishing Cannabis Fees
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-001, Establishing Cannabis Fees; and Find that the activity is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Promote economic development by concentrating on job creation. · Promote economic development by pursuing business attraction, retention, and expansion. · Promote economic development by striving to constantly improve the city’s competitiveness. · Promote economic development by developing regulations for retail cannabis operations.
DISCUSSION:
Background
On July 26, 2022, the City Council approved Ordinance 1899 which added Chapter 33 - “Cannabis Businesses and Activities” to the Code of the City of Fontana (“Code”) and modified existing Chapter 30 - “Zoning and Development Code” to provide for limited retail sales of commercial cannabis.
Minor amendments were approved on October 25, 2022, to rename “commercial cannabis” to “cannabis retailer-storefront” and reference special regulations for same and to make minor modifications to Chapter 33 related to phasing, authorization letters, and locations for permit applications along with limiting the number of permits to be issued to any applicant to one.
In approving the new cannabis regulations, the City Council approved the establishment of a maximum of three (3) Permits. The Permits will be issued for one of each of three designated areas within the City (i.e., North, Central, and South). Within each of those designated areas, Permits may be issued in the following zone districts: C-1 (Community Commercial), C-2 (General Commercial), and Specific Plan areas designated in the proposed Ordinance No. 1899. In addition to all other applicable zoning regulations, no permit would be issued for a business located within a 600-foot radius of a school, a day care center, park, a youth and recreation center, or city boundaries.
Additionally, neither the Planning Commission, nor the City Council would play a role in the evaluation and scoring of applications for Permits, nor would either play a role in the permit issuance.
The parameters and criteria for the issuance of a permit is set out in specific detail in Ordinance No.

Agenda #: A. Category: Public Hearing
The parameters and criteria for the issuance of a permit is set out in specific detail in Ordinance No. 1899 and includes a rigorous five-phase application process, the implementation of which is wholly administrative.
Analysis:
Ordinance No. 1899 established the requirements for engaging in a commercial cannabis business within the City. The ordinance identified multiple steps that the city must complete prior to opening the application process. As part of the ordinance the City Council must establish certain requirements by resolution; these include: establishing fees, hours of operation, and process integrity standards.
Additionally, the City Council must approve an operating agreement for each permit issued prior to commencement of business.
Consideration of new fees by the City Council requires a public hearing. Staff proposes that the City Council approve the attached resolution containing various fees related to cannabis applications, permitting, and operations for the City Council’s consideration.
The fees to be established are:
· Cannabis Application Fee (Sec. 33-8(a)(12).) $17,500.00 · Cannabis Zoning Request Letter $ 300.00
· Background Check Fee (Sec. 33-7(b)(1) $ 300.00
· Cannabis Permit Fee (Sec. 33-9(l).) $ 9,100.00
· Cannabis Permit Renewal Fee (Sec. 33-12.) $ 2,300.00
· Change in Ownership Fee (Sec. 33-18.) $ 3,600.00
· Change in Name Only Fee (Sec. 33-19.) $ 2,300.00
· Cannabis Appeal Deposit (Sec. 33-14(2)(f).): $ 5,000.00 The adoption of the fees and charges do not qualify as a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the adoption of the fees and charges will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Further, under State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), the creation of government funding mechanisms like the fees and charges at issue here are excluded from the definition of a “project” subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The anticipated application and background fee revenue is unknown at this time and will be dependent upon the number of applications received. Successful applicants will be required to pay the Cannabis Permit Fee and as a result it is anticipated that the City will receive $27,300.00 in permit fee revenue.
With approval of the attached Resolution, the City will recoup costs associated with accepting and reviewing applications for Cannabis Business Permits, permit issuance, and post-Cannabis Business City of Fontana Page 2 of 3 Printed on 1/19/2023

DISCUSSION:
Background
On September 23, 1997, Ten-Ninety, LTD quit-claimed the deed of an approximately 9.96 acre parcel of vacant land identified as APN 0237-411-13 (the “City Property”) to the City, which was formally accepted by the City on May 2, 1999.
NH Southridge LLC has a contractual right to acquire property neighboring the City Property and approached the City with an offer to purchase the City Property and thereafter dedicate to the City approximately five (5) acres of adjacent property, including three-and-a-half acres of open space and trails, and one-and-a-half acres of a proposed “Trailhead Park,” which would include a passive park.
In order to facilitate that transaction, on February 22, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-013, a Resolution of Intention describing the City Property to be abandoned and ordered a City of Fontana Page 1 of 5 Printed on 1/19/2023

File #: 21-1924 Agenda Date: 1/24/2023
Agenda #: B. Category: Public Hearing
2022-013, a Resolution of Intention describing the City Property to be abandoned and ordered a public hearing on the proposed abandonment be set for April 12, 2022.
On April 12, 2022, a public hearing was held by the City Council regarding the proposed abandonment of the City Property. During the public hearing, members of the public spoke regarding their desire to ensure biking activities on or near the City Property could still occur.
Following a public hearing, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-027, a Resolution abandoning the Property pursuant to the Municipal Park Abandonment Law of 1939 (Government Code sections 38501 et seq.) and directed staff to work with the groups heard during the public hearing to find a resolution to their concerns.
On June 14, 2022, the City Council approved an Option to Purchase Agreement with NH Southridge LLC for the City Property (“Original Option to Purchase Agreement”).
Subsequent to that approval, the City has continued to work with NH Southridge and the biking community to ensure continued access to mountain biking trails in the vicinity of the City Property. In the meantime, a group of individuals who are not associated with the biking community brought a lawsuit against the City, seeking a writ of mandate directing the City to vacate the actions taken on April 12 and June 14, 2022 related to the City Property.
NH Southridge LLC thereafter approached the City with an alternative proposal regarding the City Property and its adjacent property. This alternative proposal became possible due to NH Southridge LLC’s recent expansion of its contractual right to acquire additional property in the vicinity.
As explained in the November 16, 2022 correspondence from NH Southridge LLC entitled “Revised Offer to Swap and Improve Property for Bird Farm Parcel,” the revised proposal (“Revised Offer”) would provide members of the public, including mountain bikers and hikers, with permanent access to the City’s Southridge Village Open Space Reserve (the “Reserve”), and would entail the following:
1. NH Southridge LLC would exchange approximately 10.3 acres of property (“Exchange Property”) for the City Property, which would create circulation, connectively, and access to the Reserve to and from the City Property.
2. NH Southridge LLC would pay the City $1,000,000.
3. NH Southridge LLC would construct an approximately 1.6 acre public park at the corner of Live Oak Avenue and Village Drive, at an estimated cost of $950,000. As currently envisioned, this proposed park would have a new parking lot, passive play area, pickleball courts, trailhead entrances, and related improvements. All expenses related to the proposed park would be paid by NH Southridge LLC, not the City.
4. NH Southridge LLC would also remove boulders and rocks hanging from the face of the old granite quarry and install a rockfall protection barrier on nearby City-owned property to increase the safety of that property. This work is estimated to cost $1,700,000.
The Revised Offer would provide permanent legal access to the Reserve (currently members of the public have been trespassing through privately-owned property to access the Reserve) and create City of Fontana Page 2 of 5 Printed on 1/19/2023

more than 700 acres of contiguous parkland and open space owned by the City.
Based on the facts of the Revised Offer, the most appropriate process for discontinuing use of the City Property is set forth in Government Code section 38441, which applies to an “exchange for an equal or greater area or value of privately owned land contiguous to the park.” As set forth below, staff believes that all necessary findings can be made to support the transaction.
In order to consider the Revised Offer, on December 12, 2022, the City Council (i) approved the termination of the Original Option to Purchase Agreement; (ii) adopted Resolution 2022-141, vacating its action in Resolution 2022-027 abandoning undeveloped City-owned parkland; and (iii) adopted Resolution 2022-142 declaring its intent to discontinue and abandon use of a portion of a public park and convey that minor portion of park area.

As the next steps in the process of considering the Revised Offer, the City must conduct a public hearing to meet, hear, and pass on any written or oral protests against the proposed discontinuance or the extent thereof. If the City Council sustains the protests against the proposed discontinuance, the proceedings would terminate. Alternatively, the City Council may sustain protests as to one portion, and overrule them as to another portion of the City Property by a two-thirds vote. Finally, the City Council may overrule all protests by a two-thirds vote, and then may order the City Property to be discontinued as a park and exchanged pursuant to Government Code section 38441.
Government Code section 38441 authorizes the City to convey a minor portion of a park in exchange for an equal or greater area or value of privately owned land contiguous to the park after: (a) notice and a public hearing, (b) a determination that the exchange is in the public interest, and (c) adoption of a resolution of discontinuance. As set forth below, the Revised Offer appears to satisfy all requirements for such an exchange.
Minor Portion of the Park
The portion of the park under consideration is an approximately 9.96 acre parcel of vacant land identified as APN 0237-411-13 (defined above as the “City Property”) within the boundaries of the park known as Southridge Park, located at 14501 Live Oak Avenue, Fontana, California. Southridge Park is approximately 25.9 acres. Portions of Southridge Park not proposed to be abandoned and exchanged are used as active and passive parkland, with maintained landscaping, mature trees, ball fields, barbecue areas, basketball court, picnic tables, playground equipment, snack bar, soccer field, tennis courts, and restrooms. These improved portions of Southridge Park are heavily used by City residents and visitors. In contrast, the City Property, as defined above, is unimproved vacant land, seldom used by City residents and visitors. Further, as indicated above, the proposed exchange would link Southridge Park with the Reserve, thereby creating more than 700 acres of contiguous parkland and open space owned by the City. Taking into account relative size, improvements, and use, the City Property is a minor portion of Southridge Park. (Attachment 2).
Exchange for Equal or Greater Area or Value
The City Property is approximately 9.96 acres. The Exchange Property is approximately 10.3 acres.
Therefore, under the Revised Offer, the portion of the park that would be exchanged for privately owned land is of greater area. (Attachment 2).
Privately Owned Land is Contiguous to the Park
The Exchange Property is contiguous to Southridge Park. (Attachment 2). The exchange would City of Fontana Page 3 of 5 Printed on 1/19/2023

Agenda #: B. Category: Public Hearing
The Exchange Property is contiguous to Southridge Park. (Attachment 2). The exchange would provide members of the public, including mountain bikers and hikers, with permanent access to the Reserve and would create circulation, connectively, and access to the Reserve to and from Southridge Park.
Compliance with Notice and Public Hearing Requirements
On December 21, 2022, a Notice of Proposed Discontinuance of Public Park Land was posted at three locations, no more than 300 feet apart, along exterior boundaries of the City Property (Attachment 4). The Notices included copies of Resolution 2022-142. The Notices were printed on 11x17 paper, laminated, and stapled onto stakes. All Notices were still in place when City staff returned to the City Property on January 3, 2023. (Attachment 4).
Resolution 2022-142 was published in the San Bernardino Sun on December 23, 2022, and December 30, 2022. (Attachment 4).
The City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on January 24, 2023. A public hearing was noticed in the San Bernardino Sun on January 14, 2023. (Attachment 4.) The City is in compliance with all notice and public hearing requirements.
The Exchange is in the Public Interest
The exchange of the City Property for the Exchange Property will result in more total acreage of parkland. The exchange will provide members of the public, including mountain bikers and hikers, with permanent access to the Reserve and create more than 700 acres of contiguous parkland and open space owned by the City.
Additionally, the City would receive a 1.6 acre public park at the corner of Live Oak Avenue and Village Drive, at an estimated cost of $950,000. As currently envisioned, this proposed park would have a new parking lot, passive play area, pickleball courts, trailhead entrances, and related improvements. All expenses related to the proposed park would be paid by NH Southridge LLC, not the City. The City Property is currently unimproved vacant land, so the inclusion of nearby improved parkland is a benefit to the public.
Further, as part of the exchange, NH Southridge LLC would also remove boulders and rocks hanging from the face of the old granite quarry and install a rockfall protection barrier on nearby City-owned property to increase the safety of that property. Increased safety of City-owned property is in the public interest.
Overall, based on the entirely of the Revised Offer, the exchange is in the public interest.
Surplus Land Act
The Surplus Land Act (Government Code section 54220 et seq.) requires local agencies to formally declare land “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” before taking action to “dispose” of the land. The City is not proposing to dispose of the City Property under the Surplus Land Act, however, but rather, as described above, is proceeding under a separate statute that specifically authorizes the exchange of certain park property under specified circumstances. Accordingly, the Surplus Land Act is inapplicable. Moreover, even if the Surplus Land Act applied, the City Property would qualify as City of Fontana Page 4 of 5 Printed on 1/19/2023

inapplicable. Moreover, even if the Surplus Land Act applied, the City Property would qualify as “exempt surplus land” under the Act, i.e., as land that a local agency is exchanging for another property necessary for the local agency’s use (Government Code sections 54221(f)(1)(C) and 54222.3).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Should the City Council determine to move forward with the proposed discontinuance/exchange, the contemplated exchange of property would be contingent upon the City’s approval of entitlements, after compliance with CEQA. Public agencies are permitted to enter into preliminary agreements regarding the disposition and/or development of property prior to CEQA compliance, so long as such agreements are conditioned on future CEQA compliance in such a way that the agency has not committed itself to a definite course of action regarding a project. (See, e.g., Cedar Fair, L.P. v. City of Santa Clara (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1150; Delaware Tetra Technologies, Inc. v. County of San Bernardino (2016) 247 Cal.App.4th 352; Bridges v. Mt. San Jacinto Community College Dist. (2017) 14 Cal.App.5th 104.) Accordingly, a decision by the City to move forward with the proposed contingent exchange under Government Code section 38441 would not commit the City to any definite course of action and does not constitute approval of any “project” for purposes of CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
MOTION:
Should the City Council desire to overrule all protests and discontinue and abandon the City Property, a motion could be made as follows: “Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2023-XX.” This motion must be approved by a 2/3 vote pursuant to Government Code 38450 in order for the protests to be overruled.
Should the City Council desire to sustain the protests and terminate proceedings to discontinue and abandon the City Property, a motion could be made as follows: “Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2023-XX.”

Background
On September 23, 1997, Ten-Ninety, LTD quit-claimed the deed of an approximately 9.96 acre parcel of vacant land identified as APN 0237-411-13 (the “City Property”) to the City, which was formally accepted by the City on May 2, 1999.
NH Southridge LLC owns property neighboring the City Property and approached the City with an offer to purchase the City Property and thereafter dedicate to the City approximately five (5) acres of adjacent property, including three-and-a-half acres of open space and trails, and one-and-a-half City of Fontana Page 1 of 4 Printed on 12/10/2022
