FROM:
City Clerk
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Ordinance No. 1942 (Second Reading)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Ordinance No. 1942 on Second Reading, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Fontana, amending Article III to Chapter 7 of Fontana Municipal Code Regarding Electronic and Paper Methods of Filing Campaign Disclosure Statements.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To operate in a businesslike manner by becoming more service oriented. · To operate in a businesslike manner by improving services through the effective use of technology.
· To improve public safety by increasing operational efficiency, visibility, and availability. · To increase citizen involvement by utilizing technology to promote communication and linkages in the community
DISCUSSION:
On February 8, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1878 amending Chapter 7 of the Fontana Municipal Code adding Article III related to electronic and paperless filing of statutory Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) economic and financial disclosure statements by elected officials, candidates, or committees. Upon adoption of Ordinance 1878, the City Council approved an optin/opt-out option for electronic filing which allows for the submission of paper filings. Manual submissions of economic and financial disclosure statements can be inefficient, error-prone, and resource-intensive with staff having to manually redact and upload statements to the City’s website in accordance with Assembly Bill 2151 which mandates that all campaign reports and statements filed in paper format be made available online on the local agency’s website within 72 hours after the filing deadline.
In addition to increased efficiency, mandating electronic filing will eliminate the need for wet signatures, will redact statements posted online, and will automatically link to the FPPC’s system. If approved, all filers will be required to submit their statutory filings through the automated system, and paper filings will no longer be accepted. However, to support the City’s efforts towards diversity, equity and inclusion, the Deputy City Clerk, as the City’s filing officer, will have the right to accept a paper filing in lieu of electronic filing at the Deputy City Clerk’s discretion and to accommodate an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) request. Examples of exceptions may include limited access to an electronic device or internet connection.

Agenda #: B. Category: Consent Calendar
The City Clerk’s Office currently uses NetFile, a hosted solution created specifically for cities and counties responsible for administering campaign finance filings and statements of economic interest, which meets the requirements of the Secretary of State and allows for electronic and paperless filing of campaign statements. NetFile is widely used by other agencies in the region and throughout California. The NetFile system operates securely and effectively at no cost to filers. It does not place an undue burden on filers and includes procedures for filers to comply with the requirement that they sign statements and reports under penalty of perjury. It is also available to the public to view filings.
For the City of Fontana to mandate electronic filing of statements, the City Council must amend Chapter 7, Article III of the Fontana Municipal Code. Mandating electronic filing of economic and financial disclosure statements offers a comprehensive set of benefits that promote transparency, accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility in electoral finance reporting, ultimately strengthening the integrity of democratic processes.
Ordinance No. 1942 was introduced by a vote of 4-1 at the March 26, 2024, Regular City Council meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Mandating electronic filing of economic and financial disclosure statements can result in a significant cost savings by eliminating the need for paper forms, printing, postage, and manual data entry while increasing the overall efficiency of campaign finance reporting. Additionally, funding for Netfile’s services is included in the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 City Clerk’s Operating Budget in the General Fund #101, budget unit 10122000.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

ORDINANCE NO. 1942
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FONTANA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ARTICLE III TO
CHAPTER 7 OF THE FONTANA MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING ELECTRONIC AND PAPER METHODS OF
FILING CAMPAIGN FINANCE DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS.
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 84615 provides that a legislative body of local government agency may adopt an ordinance that requires an elected official, candidate, committee, or other person required to file statements, reports or other documents required by Chapter 4 of the Political Reform Act, except those whose contributions and expenditures each total less than two thousand dollars ($2,000) in a calendar year, to file such statements, reports, or other documents online or electronically with a local filing officer; and
WHEREAS, On February 8, 2022, the Fontana City Council (City Council) adopted Ordinance 1878 amending Chapter 7 of the Fontana Municipal Code adding Article III related to electronic and paperless filing of statutory Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) economic and financial disclosure statements by elected officials, candidates, or committees; and
WHEREAS, adoption of Ordinance 1878 included an opt-in/opt-out option for electronic filing which allows for the submission of paper filings; and WHEREAS, the software used by NetFile's electronic filing system has been certified by the Secretary of State and meets the requirements set by Government Code section 84615; and
WHEREAS, NetFile’s electronic filing system software is currently being used by the Fontana City Clerk’s Department; and
WHEREAS, the Deputy City Clerk and NetFile currently operate the electronic filing system in compliance with the requirements of California Government Code section 84615 and any other applicable laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FONTANA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. RECITALS. The above Recitals are true, correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
27 Ordinance No. 1942
Section 2. CEQA. This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 1538 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly.
The City Council further finds, under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3), that this Ordinance is nonetheless exempt for the requirements of CEQA in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The City Council, therefore, directs that a Notice of Exemption be filed with the County Clerk of the County of San Bernardino in accordance with CEQA Guidelines.
Section 3. FINDINGS. The City Council finds that the City’s electronic filing system, NetFile software, contains multiple safeguards to protect the integrity and security of the data, and will operate securely and effectively and will not unduly burden filers.

However, to ensure reporting continuity, once a statement, report, form, or other document is filed electronically on behalf of any elected officer, candidate, or committee, all future statements, report, forms and other documents filed on behalf of that officer, candidate or committee must be filed electronically.
(b) The Deputy City Clerk, as the City’s filing officer, shall have the right to accept a paper filing in lieu of an electronic filing at the Deputy City Clerk’s discretion and to accommodate an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) request.

Sec. 7-34 Paper Filing When Cannot File Electronically.
If, for technical reasons, the City’s system is not capable of accepting a particular type of statement, report, form or other document, an elected officer, candidate, committee or other person shall timely file that document in paper format with the Deputy City Clerk.

The Deputy City Clerk shall ensure that the City's system makes all electronically filed statements, reports, forms, or other documents available on the internet in an easily understood format that provides the greatest public access.

Sec. 7-36 Records Retention.
The City Clerk’s Department shall maintain records according to the City's Records Retention Schedule and applicable State law commencing from the date filed, a secured, official version of each online or electronic statement, report, form, or other document, which shall serve as the official version of that record.
Sec. 7-37 Administrative Policies and Procedures.
The Deputy City Clerk is authorized to adopt such administrative policies and procedures as deemed necessary to implement this Chapter.
Section 5. CERTIFICATION. The Deputy City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published as required by law. 29 Ordinance No. 1942

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana owns and operates 7 public pools, 2 splash pads, and 2 waterslides at 5 different locations. Since the retirement of the aquatic maintenance staff, the Public Works Department has diligently worked to fill this position. Despite our dedicated efforts, we have encountered challenges in attracting suitable candidates both internally and externally. This has resulted in several failed recruitment attempts, impacting our ability to adequately staff the servicing of pools.
As a result, Public Works Department staff recently solicited bids for full-service pool maintenance services at these facilities. The scope of services for this contract includes all labor, materials, chemicals, minor repairs, and record keeping needed to operate the city’s pools and aquatics facilities in compliance with State and County public health standards.
The formal bidding process has been completed in conformance with the City’s purchasing policies.
Public Works Department staff evaluated the three (3) proposals received with assistance from the City’s Purchasing Department. Staff recommends that Service First of Santa Ana, CA be awarded the contract for these services as they were determined to be the most qualified, responsible, and responsive bidder. This proposed contract will be for a two (2) year period, with three (3) additional one-year extensions at the City’s sole discretion, effective April 1, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Approve an Agreement with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency, Speedway SBC Development, LLC, and San Bernardino County for Wastewater Services for Speedway SBC Development, LLC RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (“IEUA”), Speedway SBC Development, LLC, and San Bernardino County (“County”) for wastewater services for Speedway SBC Development, LLC.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by working cooperatively with neighboring jurisdictions.
· To concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by establishing partnerships and positive working relationships with other public agencies providing services to residents and local businesses.
DISCUSSION:
The Speedway Commerce Center II comprises the redevelopment of a portion of the existing Auto Club Speedway property, encompassing approximately 433 acres of the 522 acres of the Speedway property located in unincorporated San Bernardino County. The project includes 6.6 million square feet of high-cube logistics/e-commerce uses, 261,360 square feet of ancillary commercial uses, and future parking areas. The project is situated north of San Bernardino Avenue and west of Cherry Avenue.
As part of the project conditions required by the County, the developer is required to provide sewer services to the project. The developer designs and coordinates with IEUA to create an internal sewer system within the private property and connects the sewer directly to the IEUA system. The maintenance and operation of the proposed sewer system will remain with the County.
According to the Regional Contract with the contracting agency with IEUA, the contract agency can only administer the monthly wastewater billing. Since the County is not part of the contracting agency, the City will provide the billing services for this project based on the rate structure established by the City and IEUA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City since the current rate structure includes compensation of administration hours.

a. The amount of the Capital Capacity Reimbursement Payment for each new connection to a SCA’s Community Sewer System and for each change in use of any existing Commercial Unit or Industrial Unit which results in an increase in volume or strength of Sewage therefrom shall be determined by computing the number of Equivalent Dwelling Units therefor as provided in that document approved by Resolution of the Board of Directors and identified as “Exhibit J” and made a part hereof and applying the then current Capital Capacity Reimbursement Payment amount as established by the IEUA Board to each such EDU.
165
ORDINANCE NO. 111 Page 11 of 30
b. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, the amount which a SCA is required to have deposited in or credited to its Capital Capacity Reimbursement account for any such new connection or change of use shall be reduced by payments, if any, made by the SCA to IEUA for the new connection or change of use to support Supplemental Capital Outlay Payments, made at IEUA’s request.
c. A Capital Capacity Reimbursement Payment shall be deposited or credited to a SCA’s Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account for such a new connection or change of use at the time of the issuance of a building permit or a sewer connection permit, or for changes in the use of existing Commercial Units and Industrial Units, or the permits required therefor. Upon request by a SCA, IEUA will review, with support and consultation as needed from the Building Activity Report (BAR) Subcommittee, fee calculations and collections by any SCA for any errors, within 30 days from the receipt of the monthly building activity report, as further described herein, unless a more expedited review is requested by SCA. In the event a SCA fails to deposit Capital Capacity Reimbursement Payments into the SCA’s Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account by the applicable deadlines, the SCA shall be required to make late payments in amounts which correspond to the adopted EDU rate in place at the time that said payments first became due and owing.
3. Capital Capacity Reimbursement Reports
a. Each SCA shall report monthly to IEUA, at such time as IEUA shall designate, the balance of the funds in its Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account as of the last day of the preceding month. Such monthly reports shall be in writing and shall include the calculation sheets and also contain the number of building permits and sewer permits which were issued in the SCA’s Service Area during the preceding month and estimated volume of Sewage flows for all residential, commercial, and industrial connections within the SCA’s Service Area for the current month and the cumulative total thereof.

ORDINANCE NO. 111 Page 12 of 30
strength of sewage for each permit. IEUA shall have 30 days from receipt of said reports to contact the applicable SCA with any questions or requests for clarification regarding the connection fee calculations reflected in said report. b. IEUA shall maintain a summary accounting of the Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account reserves of all SCAs and shall make written semiannual reports to the SCAs on or before 1) July 15 (with actuals up to March 31) and January 15, (with actuals up to September 30) of each fiscal year. The reports shall include: (i) the amounts of the Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account reserves of all SCAs as of the last day of March and September respectively, (ii) the amount of the Regional Wastewater Capital Improvement Fund reserves as of the last day of March and September respectively, (iii) a summary of all expenditures from said fund incurred up to March and September respectively for each Regional Sewerage System capital improvement project then in progress, (iv) an estimate of the amounts to be expended from said fund for each such project during the quarter then commencing or in progress (the “current quarter”), (v) the estimated amount of Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds, if any, which will be necessary for the SCAs to contribute to IEUA during the current quarter in order to provide a working capital balance in said fund which shall not exceed $1,000,000 on the last day of the quarter next succeeding the current quarter, and (vi) the amount, if any, of the contribution of Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds for each SCA for the current quarter, determined as provided in subparts E and F of this Section.
D. Determination of Demand Deficits
At the time of the preparation of each Ten-Year Sewer Capital Forecast, pursuant to Section 10 hereof, IEUA shall determine each SCA's Demand Deficit, if any. The determination of Demand Deficits pursuant to this subpart is for the sole purpose of allocating shortages in Supplemental Capital Outlay Fund payments as provided in subpart F of this Section. Except as provided in said subpart F, such determinations shall not result in the creation of an obligation or indebtedness on the part of any SCA to IEUA or other SCAs.
167
ORDINANCE NO. 111 Page 13 of 30
E. Supplemental Capital Outlay Fund Payments
On July 15, and January 15, of any fiscal year IEUA may require payment by each SCA from its Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account of Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds for the planning, design and construction of Regional Sewerage System capital improvement projects in the amount, if any, set forth for the SCA in the semiannual report due from IEUA on such date. Upon receiving such a demand from IEUA, each SCA shall pay the amount demanded to IEUA within 45 days of receipt of such demand. The amount of each SCA’s proportionate share of the total amount of Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds demanded by IEUA from all SCAs shall be determined based on the percentage which the amount of Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds demanded by IEUA from all SCAs is to the total amount of the current Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account reserves of all SCAs set forth in the semiannual report upon which the demand is based. The amount demanded by IEUA from each SCA on any such date shall be an amount determined by applying the percentage thus obtained to the balance of the reserves, not including interest, in the SCA’s Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account set forth in the semiannual report upon which the demand is based. All amounts received by IEUA from the SCAs as Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds shall be deposited in or credited to the Regional Wastewater Capital Improvement Fund. All such amounts together with all interest earned thereon shall be available and utilized by IEUA solely for the purpose of financing the acquisition, improvement and expansion of the Regional Sewerage System.
F. Allocation of Supplemental Capital Outlay Fund Shortages If at the time of any demand by for Supplemental Capital Outlay Funds, pursuant to subpart E of this Section, there are not sufficient funds deposited or credited to the Capital Capacity Reimbursement Accounts of all SCAs to pay the full amount of the demand, each SCA which has a Demand Deficit shall pay the full balance then deposited or credited to its Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account plus an amount determined based on the percentage which the amount of its Demand Deficit is of the total Demand Deficit for all SCAs. The amount to be paid by each such SCA shall be determined by multiplying the difference between, the Supplemental Capital Outlay Fund demand and the total amount of the Capital Capacity Reimbursement Account balances of all SCAs by the percentage thus determined. 168
ORDINANCE NO. 111 Page 14 of 30
G. Audit Process
The audit process for collection of connection fees by SCAs is intended to verify accuracy and uniformity in practices regionwide and to improve future performance. The audit and BAR review processes may result in IEUA and the SCAs working collaboratively to reconcile any discrepancies in connection fees from the Residential, or Commercial or Industrial Unit. SCAs may be audited by IEUA on an annual basis, as well as periodically through the Building Activity Reports Subcommittee as described below.
H. Building Activity Reports and Building Activity Reports Subcommittee There shall be created a Building Activity Reports (“BAR”) Subcommittee comprised of a staff/employee representative from IEUA and also from of each SCA who elects to participate.
The SCA representative may be changed by the applicable SCA at any time. IEUA will convene the BAR Subcommittee quarterly to complete a more extensive review of a percentage of applications for which connection fees have been calculated and collected. The percentage of applications to be reviewed will be determined by the BAR Subcommittee. The review by the BAR Subcommittee may include such reviews as, but not limited to, an in-depth look at the collection fee calculation methodology, approach for calculating connection fees for similar facilities (e.g. - facilities that have an embedded restaurant and other services), monthly sewer fee collections, for region wide consistency.

SUBJECT:
Resolution of Intent to form Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase 2).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-012, of the City Council of the City of Fontana of Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-013, of the City Council of the City of Fontana to Incur Bonded Indebtedness of the Proposed City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two).
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.
DISCUSSION:
North Fontana Investment Company, LLC and Richmond American Homes of Maryland, Inc. have initiated the process to form a Community Facilities District for the purpose of financing the acquisition of certain public facilities that are eligible under the City financing goals and policies, namely sewer, storm drain, street improvements, landscaping, and development impact fees. The formation of the district will benefit the City by funding the infrastructure projects outside of the typical improvements that would be required for the project including a contribution for a project of community benefit. CFD bond funding will allow for infrastructure to be built at one time, reducing construction inconvenience for earlier residents and enhancing the overall community aesthetics.
The project consists of approximately 36.37 gross (25.27 net taxable acres) (388 residential lots), is located on the west side of Sierra Avenue north of Casa Grande Avenue.
The proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) includes rates to pay for bonded indebtedness and maintenance of street lighting, landscaping and parks. Initial assigned residential rates are proposed as follows:

Sales prices for the homes have been estimated at $478,400 to $613,600. The proposed rates have been established to provide a total tax rate of less than 1.95% of the home value per City Policy.
The proposed rates for bonded indebtedness will support $17.6 million of bonds, providing funds to finance $14.8 million of facilities and/or fees. The proposed annual rates for maintenance of $550 for all planning areas will be sufficient to fund the annual maintenance costs for street lighting, landscaping and parks within and surrounding the area of the CFD. The rate also includes the maintenance costs related to the water quality system required by the State of California. The maximum annual tax rate for maintenance has been set at $770 per unit for planning areas with a 2% escalator per City Policy.
This action represents the first step in the process to establish the new district. Adoption of the proposed resolutions will set the public hearing for May 14, 2024. The levy of the proposed special taxes will be subject to the approval of the qualified electors of the new Community Facilities District at a special election.
The recommended action complies with the City Council's debt management objectives.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Most of the issuance costs are contingent upon the sale of the bonds and will be paid from proceeds.
The developer has deposited $75,000 with the City to pay for appraisal and miscellaneous costs that are non-contingent.
Annual debt service and maintenance costs will be paid from special taxes levied on the future homeowners within the district.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the City Council so finds and determines.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds that the Petitions are signed by the landowners owning the requisite area of land proposed to be included within the Community Facilities District and not proposed to be exempt from the Special Tax.
Section 3. The City Council proposes to establish the Community Facilities District under the terms of the Act. The boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the Community Facilities District are described in the map showing the proposed Community Facilities District (the “Boundary Map”) on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City (the “City Clerk”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, which boundaries are hereby preliminarily approved and to which map reference is hereby made for further particulars. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original Boundary Map and record, or cause to be recorded, the Boundary Map with all proper endorsements thereon in the office of the San Bernardino County Recorder within 15 days of the date of adoption of this Resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the California Streets and Highways Code. 212
3 4145-2646-1517.4
Section 4. The name proposed for the Community Facilities District is “City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two)”.
Section 5. The public facilities (the “Facilities”) proposed to be financed by the Community Facilities District pursuant to the Act are described under the caption “Facilities” on Exhibit B hereto, which is by this reference incorporated herein. Those Facilities proposed to be purchased as completed public facilities are identified under the caption “Facilities to be Purchased” on Exhibit B hereto. The services (the “Services”) proposed to be financed by the Community Facilities District pursuant to the Act are described under the caption “Services” on Exhibit B hereto. The incidental expenses proposed to be incurred are identified under the caption “Incidental Expenses” on Exhibit B hereto. All or any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a financing plan, including, but not limited to, a lease, lease-purchase or installment-purchase arrangement.
Section 6. The City Council proposes that, except where funds are otherwise available, the Community Facilities District be authorized to annually levy within the Community Facilities District a special tax (the “Special Tax”) sufficient to pay for all Facilities and Services, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the Community Facilities District. The rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax, in sufficient detail to allow each landowner or resident within the proposed Community Facilities District to estimate the maximum amount that he or she will have to pay, is specified in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (the “Rate and Method”) attached hereto as Exhibit C, which is by this reference incorporated herein. The conditions under which the obligation to pay the Special Tax to be levied to pay for Facilities may be prepaid and permanently satisfied are specified in the Rate and Method. The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as the City Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners.
Section 7. The Special Tax may only finance the Services to the extent that they are in addition to those provided in the territory of the Community Facilities District before the Community Facilities District is created. The Services may not supplant services already available within that territory when the Community Facilities District is created. Bonds of the Community Facilities District may not be issued to fund any of the Services.
Section 8. The tax year after which no further Special Tax to pay for Facilities shall be levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes is specified in the Rate and Method. Under no circumstances shall the Special Tax to pay for Facilities in any fiscal year against any parcel used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the Community Facilities District by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. For purposes of this paragraph, a parcel shall be considered “used for private residential purposes” not later than the date on which an occupancy permit for private residential use is issued. The Special Tax to pay for Services will be levied in perpetuity, as provided in the Rate and Method.
Section 9. Pursuant to Section 53344.1 of the Act, the City Council hereby reserves to itself the right and authority to allow any interested owner of property within the Community 213
4 4145-2646-1517.4
Facilities District, subject to the provisions of said Section 53344.1 and to those conditions as it may impose, and any applicable prepayment penalties as prescribed in the bond indenture or comparable instrument or document, to tender to the Community Facilities District treasurer in full payment or part payment of any installment of the Special Tax or the interest or penalties thereon that may be due or delinquent, but for which a bill has been received, any bond or other obligation secured thereby, the bond or other obligation to be taken at par and credit to be given for the accrued interest shown thereby computed to the date of tender.
Section 10. The City Council hereby fixes Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the City Council may reach the matter, at 8353 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, California, as the time and place when and where the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the establishment of the Community Facilities District; provided, that, in the event the May 14, 2024 City Council meeting is held via teleconference and/or videoconference only, the means by which the public may observe such public hearing and offer public comment shall be prescribed in the notice and agenda for such City Council meeting.

The proposed voting procedure shall be a vote by the landowners in the Community Facilities District conducted by mail or hand-delivered ballots, with each owner having one vote for each acre or portion of an acre such owner owns in the Community Facilities District.
Section 13.

Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 12 c. Increase in the Maximum Services Special Tax
The Maximum Services Special Tax in Table 5 above shall be applicable for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, and shall increase thereafter, commencing on July 1, 2024, and on each July 1 thereafter by an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the amount in effect for the previous Fiscal Year.
d. Increase in the Assigned Services Special Tax
The Assigned Services Special Tax in Table 6 above shall be applicable for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, and shall increase thereafter, commencing on July 1, 2024, and on each July 1 thereafter in an amount estimated to fund the Special Tax Requirement for Services for the Fiscal Year commencing on such July 1. However, in no case shall the Assigned Services Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property exceed the applicable Maximum Services Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year.
e. Multiple Land Uses
In some instances an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Class. In such cases, the Acreage of Developed Property shall be allocated between Residential Property and Non-Residential Property based on the amount of Acreage designated for each land use as determined by reference to the site plan approved for such Assessor's Parcel. The Maximum Services Special Tax that can be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel shall be the sum of the Maximum Services Special Tax that can be levied on each type of property located on that Assessor’s Parcel. The CFD Administrator’s allocation to each type of property shall be final.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
1. Facilities Special Tax
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025, and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and shall provide for the levy of the Facilities Special Tax each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Facilities Special Tax; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first step has been completed, the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Facilities Special Tax is determined through the application of the Backup Facilities Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Facilities Special Tax up to the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel;
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities after the first three steps have been completed, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property 231
City of Fontana March 20, 2024
Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 13 Owner Association Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property, as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities.
Notwithstanding the above, the CFD Administrator shall, in any Fiscal Year, calculate a levy Proportionately less than 100% of the Assigned Facilities Special Tax in step one (above), when (i) the CFD Administrator is no longer required to provide for the levy of the Facilities Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 113 Bonds have already been issued or the Council has covenanted that it shall not issue any additional CFD No. 113 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Facilities Special Tax.
Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall the Facilities Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued (in accordance with Section 53321(d)(3) of the California Government Code), be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 113 by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. To the extent that the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on Residential Property is limited by the provision in the previous sentence, the levy of the Facilities Special Tax on each Assessor’s Parcel of Non-Residential Property shall continue in equal percentages up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Facilities Special Tax.
2. Services Special Tax
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and for each following Fiscal Year, the CFD Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Services and shall provide for the levy of the Services Special Tax until the total Services Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for Services. The Services Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Services Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately each Fiscal Year on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Services Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Services; Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Services after the first step has been completed, then the levy of the Services Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Services Special Tax up to the Maximum Services Special Tax for each such Assessor’s Parcel.
E. EXEMPTIONS
1. Facilities Special Tax
No Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on up to the applicable Acreage limit of Public Property and/or Property Owner Association Property established for each Planning Area as set forth in Table 7 below. Tax-exempt status shall be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property within a Planning Area becomes Public Property or Property Owner Association Property. However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it shall, from that point forward, be subject to the Facilities Special Tax.

Notwithstanding the above, an Assessor’s Parcel within a Planning Area that is transferred to a public agency or property owner’s association prior to the issuance of the first series of CFD No. 113 Bonds that causes the Acreage of Public Property and Property Owner Association Property within such Planning Area to exceed the applicable Acreage limit that can be designated by the CFD Administrator under this Section E.1 shall also be exempted from paying the Special Tax.
Public Property or Property Owner Association Property that is not exempt from the Facilities Special Tax under this Section E.1 shall be subject to the levy of the Facilities Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fourth step in Section D herein, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Public Property and Taxable Property Owner Association Property.
In addition, no Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property, provided that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that an Assessor’s Parcel that is Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from the Facilities Special Tax, then the Facilities Special Tax shall be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel in accordance with this Rate and Method of Apportionment as if such Assessor’s Parcel were not classified as Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property.
2. Services Special Tax
No Services Special Tax shall be levied on Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, Public Property, or Property Owner Association Property.
In addition, no Services Special Tax shall be levied on Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property, provided that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that an Assessor’s Parcel that is Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from the Services Special Tax, then the Services Special Tax shall be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel in accordance with this Rate and Method of Apportionment as if such Assessor’s Parcel were not classified as Lower Income Households Welfare Exemption Property.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 113 may directly bill the Special Tax, and/or may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet financial obligations, and, to the extent of the Facilities Special Tax, may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels. 233
City of Fontana March 20, 2024
Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 15 G. APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on his/her Assessor’s Parcel is in error may submit a written appeal to the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payment of Special Taxes. During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, a cash refund shall not be made (except for the last year of levy), but the amount of the Special Tax levied shall be appropriately modified through an adjustment to the Special Tax levy in the following Fiscal Year. If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payment of Special Taxes. This second appeal must specify the reasons for its disagreement with the CFD Administrator's determination.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals. Any decision of the CFD Administrator shall be subject to appeal to the Council whose decision shall be final and binding as to all persons.
H. PREPAYMENT OF FACILITIES SPECIAL TAX
Under this Rate and Method of Apportionment, an Assessor’s Parcel within CFD No. 113 is permitted to prepay the Facilities Special Tax. The obligation of the Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Facilities Special Tax may be fully prepaid and permanently satisfied or partially prepaid as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, or for an Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued after January 1, 2024, and only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Facilities Special Tax obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge such owner a reasonable fee for providing this service. If there are Outstanding Bonds, prepayment must be made not less than 30 days prior to a date that notice of redemption of CFD No. 113 Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture that is specified in the report of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount (defined below).
The following additional definitions apply to this Section H:
"CFD Public Facilities Costs" means either $20,183,675 in 2024 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2025, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the CFD Administrator as sufficient to provide funding for the Authorized Facilities under the authorized bonding program for CFD No. 113, or (ii) shall be determined by the Council concurrently with a covenant that it shall not issue any more CFD No. 113 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by the Facilities Special Tax levy under this Rate and Method of Apportionment.
234
City of Fontana March 20, 2024
Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 16 "Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the month of December in the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the CFD Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
"Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus (i) costs of Authorized Facilities previously paid from the Improvement Fund, (ii) moneys currently on deposit in the Improvement Fund available to pay costs of Authorized Facilities, and (iii) the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of these funds. "Improvement Fund" means a fund or account specifically identified in the Indenture (or prior to the issuance of the first series of CFD No. 113 Bonds a fund or account held by the City) to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct Authorized Facilities.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means, for any Fiscal Year, all Outstanding Bonds that are outstanding under the Indenture after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount shall be calculated according to the following paragraphs:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Facilities Special Tax and Backup Facilities Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued after January 1, 2024, compute the Assigned Facilities Special Tax and Backup Facilities Special Tax for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for such Assessor’s Parcel.
3. (a) Divide the Assigned Facilities Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total estimated Assigned Facilities Special Tax levy for CFD No. 113 based on the Assigned Facilities Special Taxes for Developed Property which could be levied on all expected development assuming Buildout of CFD No. 113, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid, and
235
City of Fontana March 20, 2024
Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 17 (b) Divide the Backup Facilities Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total estimated Backup Facilities Special Taxes at Buildout for the entire CFD No. 113, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid.
4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price minus 100%) set forth in the Indenture, if any, on the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
6. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds specified in the report of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount.
9. Determine the Facilities Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount, less any interest earnings attributed to the Future Facilities Amount, and less any interest earnings attributed to the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below) from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount").
12. The administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 113 are as calculated by the CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 113 Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the Previously Issued Bonds is below 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture). 236
City of Fontana March 20, 2024
Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 18
14. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment date (the "Capitalized Interest Credit").
15. The Facilities Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14 (the "Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount").
2. Prepayment in Part
The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = [(PE – A) x F] + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment.
PE = the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1.
F = the percentage, expressed as a decimal, by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel is partially prepaying the Facilities Special Tax.
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1.
3. General Provisions Applicable to the Prepayment of Facilities Special Tax (a). Use of the Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount The Facilities Special Tax Prepayment Amount, less the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1 which shall be retained by CFD No. 113, and less the Future Facilities Amount calculated according to Section H.1 which shall be deposited into the Improvement Fund, shall be deposited into specific funds established under the Indenture, to fully or partially redeem as many Outstanding Bonds as possible, and, if amounts are less than $5,000, to make debt service payments on the Outstanding Bonds.
(b). Full Prepayment of Facilities Special Tax
Upon confirmation of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s entire Facilities Special Tax obligation, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Facilities Special Tax levy for such Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is prepaid in accordance with Section H.1, the CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax and the release of the Facilities Special Tax lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Facilities Special Tax shall cease.
(c). Partial Prepayment of Facilities Special Tax
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute or cause to be distributed the funds remitted to it according to Section H.3.(a) and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 113 that there has been a partial 237
City of Fontana March 20, 2024
Community Facilities District No. 113 (The Gardens Phase Two) Page 19 prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax and that a portion of the Facilities Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 – F) of the remaining Maximum Facilities Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section D herein.
(d). Debt Service Coverage
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment of the Facilities Special Tax shall be allowed unless the amount of Facilities Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property (assuming Buildout) within CFD No. 113 in each future Fiscal Year (after excluding Public Property and Property Owner Association Property as set forth in Section E.1 herein), after the proposed prepayment, is at least equal to the sum of (i) 1.10 times the debt service necessary to support the remaining Outstanding Bonds in each corresponding Fiscal Year, and (ii) Administrative Expenses.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Facilities Special Tax shall be levied for a period not to exceed fifty years commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The Services Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity to fund the Special Tax Requirement for Services.

SUBJECT:
Resolution of Intent to Form Community Facilities District No. 114M (Tract 20512) RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-014, declaring the intention of the City Council of the City of Fontana to form the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 114M.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Practice sound fiscal management by fully funding liabilities and reserves. · Practice sound fiscal management by developing long-term funding and debt management plans.
DISCUSSION:
The development of Tract 20512 is actively proceeding. As part of the conditions of approval, the developer is to establish the community facilities district to pay for certain public services as described in the Resolution.
The boundaries of the proposed community facilities district, Community Facilities District No. 114M (the “District”), include approximately 9 acres (85 units) of residential property and is located at the intersection of Summit Avenue and Citrus Road. The property is owned by D.R. Horton Los Angeles Holding Company, Inc.
Due to the passage of Proposition 218 in November of 1996, alternate financing plans other than a traditional Lighting and Landscape District have been developed to ensure continuous financing of these maintenance obligations. The City Attorney’s office, staff, and the developer believe that the establishment of a community facilities district which provides services and maintenance is the best protection to the City to have these obligations funded by the future residents who will receive the benefits.
The establishment of the District would provide for the funding of annual maintenance and certain services through the levy of a separate special tax on taxable parcels within the boundaries of the District.
The District’s proposed 2024-25 special tax is $648 per taxable assessor’s parcel consisting of $371 for maintenance, $7 for street lighting and $270 for parks. The District’s 2024-25 maximum special tax has been established at $907 per taxable assessor’s parcel and allows for a 2% increase per year.
The special taxes for the District and any assessments or special taxes for the school district, together with the projected ad valorem property taxes, do not exceed the City Council policy of 1.95% City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 4/3/2024

Agenda #: H. Category: Consent Calendar
together with the projected ad valorem property taxes, do not exceed the City Council policy of 1.95% of the sales price.
Attached is the Resolution stating the City Council’s intention to proceed with the formation of the District (the “Resolution of Intention”), which includes the boundary map and the Rate and Method of Apportionment as exhibits thereto. Also attached is a proposed calendar of events from Best Best & Krieger, LLP. Additionally, the property owner will waive all time limits and other requirements of the California Elections Code in order for the special election to be held on May 14, 2024, after the public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is the first in an approval process which spans two City Council meetings to establish the District for this project and to provide for the levy of the special tax. All costs of establishing the District are paid by the developer, the current property owner, with ongoing annual maintenance service costs paid by the property owners.
MOTION:
Approve the Resolution of Intention upon staff recommendation.

2 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fontana, as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and the City Council hereby finds and determines.
Section 2. Proposed Community Facilities District. A community facilities district is proposed to be established under the provisions of the Act. The name proposed for the District is “City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 114M.” Section 3. Description and Map of Boundaries. The boundaries of the District are shown on the map entitled “Proposed Boundaries of City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 114M, San Bernardino County, State of California” which is on file with the City Clerk, and attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by this reference. Said map is hereby approved and, pursuant to Section 3110 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City Clerk shall, after conforming with the other requirements of Section 3111 of the California Streets and Highways Code, record the original of said map in the office of the City Clerk, and within 15 days of the adoption of this Resolution but not later than 15 days prior to the date of the public hearing set forth in Section 8 hereof shall file a copy of said boundary map with the County ClerkRecorder of the County of San Bernardino.
Section 4. Types of Services; Incidental Expenses. It is the further intention of the City Council to finance the Services generally described in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference and all costs associated with the establishment of the District, administration thereof, the determination of the amount of any special taxes to be levied, the costs of collecting any special taxes, and costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the District.
Section 5. Special Taxes and Appropriations Limit. It is the intention of the City Council that, except where funds are otherwise available, a special tax sufficient to pay for the Services and related incidental expenses authorized by the Act, secured by the recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the District, shall be annually levied within the boundaries of the District pursuant to the Rate and Method (defined below).
Particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the proposed special tax are set forth in the attached Exhibit “C (the “Rate and Method”), which is incorporated herein by this reference and which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes to allow each landowner or resident within the proposed District to clearly estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay.
Under no circumstances will the special taxes levied in any fiscal year against any parcel used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there not been any such delinquencies or defaults.
Further, the maximum authorized special tax for financing the Services that may be levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes is specified in the Rate and Method as a dollar 250
09960.00000\42146479.1
3 amount. A parcel shall be considered “used for private residential purposes” not later than the date on which an occupancy permit or the equivalent for private residential use is issued for such parcel.
The special tax obligation for any parcel may not be prepaid.
Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, said special taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided however, that the District may collect special taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent assessor’s parcels as permitted by the Act.
Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure the levy of special taxes shall attach to all non-exempt real property in the District, and that lien shall continue in force and effect until the collection of the special taxes ceases.
It is the intention of the City Council, pursuant to Section 53325.7 of the Act, to establish the initial appropriations limit, as defined by subdivision (h) of Section 8 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, for the District in the amount of $5,000,000.
Section 6. Exempt Properties. Pursuant to Section 53340 of the Act, and except as provided in Section 53317.3 of the Act, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of special taxes. Additionally property may be exempt from the levy of special taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Rate and Method.
Section 7. Necessity. It is further determined by the City Council that the Services are necessary to meet increased demands and needs placed upon the City as a result of development within the boundaries of the District.
Section 8. Hearing. A public hearing will be held by the City Council to consider the formation of the District, the proposed levy of special taxes therein, the proposed rate, method of appointment, and manner of collection of the special taxes, and all other matters as set forth in this Resolution at 2:00 p.m. on May 14, 2024 in the City Council Chambers, 8353 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, California. At such hearing, any persons interested, including all taxpayers, property owners, and registered voters within the District, may appear and be heard, and the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the establishment of the District and the levy of the special taxes, or the extent of the District, or the establishment of an appropriations limit therefor, or on any other matters set forth in this Resolution, will be heard and considered.
Any protests to the proposals in this Resolution may be made orally or in writing by any interested persons or taxpayers, except that any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of such proceedings shall be in writing and shall clearly set forth the irregularities and defects to which the objection is made. The City Council may waive any irregularities in the form or content of any written protest and at such public hearing may correct minor defects in such proceedings.
All written protests not presented in person by the protester at the public hearing shall be field with the City Clerk on or before the time fixed for the public hearing in order to be received and considered. Any written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of such public hearing.
251
09960.00000\42146479.1
4 If fifty percent (50%) or more of the registered voters, or six registered voters, whichever is more, residing within the territory proposed to be included in the District and not exempt from the levy of special taxes, or the owners or one-half or more of the area of the land in said territory, file written protests against the formation of the District, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the value of the protest to less than a majority, no further proceedings to create the District or to levy the specified special taxes shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the decision of the City Council. If a majority of protests of the registered voters or of the landowners are only against the furnishing of a specified type or types of Services within the District, those types of Services will be eliminated from the resolution of formation establishing the District.
The public hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within thirty (30) days, except that if the City Council finds that the complexity of the District or the need for public participation requires additional time, the public hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed six (6) months.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council may abandon the proposed formation or may, after passing upon all protests, determine to proceed with establishing the District.
Section 9. Notice. The City Clerk shall publish a notice of the time and place of said public hearing as required by Section 53322 of the Act, and may also give notice of the time and place of said hearing by first-class mail to each registered voter and to each landowner within the proposed boundaries of the District as prescribed by Section 53322.4 of the Act. Said notice shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the boundaries of the District at least seven (7) days before the date of the public hearing, and may be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each owner of land and each registered voter residing within the boundaries of the District at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the public hearing, and shall contain the information required by said Section 53322.
Section 10. Report. The officers of the City who will be responsible for providing the proposed Services to be provided within and financed by the District, if it is established, are hereby directed to study the District, and, at or before the time of said hearing, file a report or reports with the City Council containing a brief description of the Services by type which will in their opinion be required to adequately meet the needs of the new development expected to occur within the District and their estimates of the fair and reasonable cost of providing those Services, and the related incidental expenses to be incurred in connection therewith. Such report shall be submitted to the City Council for its review, shall be available for inspection by the public, and shall be made a part of the record of the public hearing to be held pursuant to Section 8 hereof.
Section 11. Description of Voting Procedures. The voting procedures to be followed shall be pursuant to Section 53326 of the Act and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Election Code. If the City Council determines at the conclusion of the public hearing to proceed with the establishment of the District, it expects that the proposed voting will be by the landowners voting in accordance with the Act, as the City Council is informed that during each of the ninety (90) days prior to the date set for the hearing, there have been fewer than twelve (12) registered voters residing in the proposed boundaries of the District. The City Council hereby requires this information to be confirmed before ordering the election. 252

PCO 4
This PCO includes changes in the lighting system based on the new architectural design of the theater.
1. We removed some fixtures and added others including their associated interconnect cables.
2. After reviewing the existing equipment rack and the new AV Control Booth we have added three new racks. One 44RU rack and two 18RU racks. This is due to the limitation of the space.
3. We also added a new expansion controller (CEN-CI3) with associated relay cards. We changed the design after taking the existing stage rack and see that the rack power is controlled via relays. 286
