SUBJECT:
Consideration of Release Agreement (“ReleaseAgreement”)by and between the City of Fontana and HDO4, LLC to release certain property from the land subject to that certain Disposition Agreement entered into by the City of Fontana and HDO4, LLC approved by the City on July 2, 2020 (“Disposition Agreement”) in furtherance of promoting buildout of the Ventana at Duncan Canyon Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”).
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-114, Approving an Agreement Releasing Certain Real Property From the Obligations, Conditions, and Restrictions of that Certain Disposition Agreement Approved by the City Council of the City of Fontana on July 2, 2020, by and between the City of Fontana and HDO4, LLC
2. Determination that the City Council’s actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To concentrate on job creation.
· To pursue business retention, expansion, and attraction. · To construct high-quality multi-family housing which also serves to address the affordability needs of the community.
· To provide for the development of new infrastructure. · To improve the aesthetics of the community.
· To promote compact and efficient development in new and existing communities.
DISCUSSION:
On July 2, 2020, the City Council of the City of Fontana adopted Resolution No. 2020-78, approving a Disposition Agreement by and between the City of Fontana and HDO4, LLC (“HDO4”)regarding the disposition and development of real property located along Duncan Canyon Road between Citrus Avenue and the I-15 Freeway (the “Property”)more specifically described on Exhibit A-1 of the Disposition Agreement.
The Disposition Agreement includes certain covenants, obligations, restrictions, and servitudes pertaining to the Property, including obligations placed on the developer of the Property and City of Fontana Printed on 10/3/2024Page 1 of 2

restrictions on transfer of the Property.
HDO4 is developing a portion of the Property for various residential and commercial uses associated with the Specific Plan. This portion of the Property is described on Exhibit “B”of the proposed Release Agreement as the “SubjectProperty.” The development of the Specific Plan is anticipated to be a significant economic driver in the City in furtherance of the City’s General Plan goals and Council Objectives outlined above.
Market and economic conditions in the City have changed since the parties approved the Disposition Agreement, such that the Disposition Agreement now imposes several barriers on the development of the Subject Property, which, if kept in place, would materially delay the development thereof.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Release Agreement would release the Subject Property from restrictions in the Disposition Agreement while maintaining certain preserved claims identified in the Release Agreement. The Disposition Agreement would continue to apply in full to all other portions of the Property. Staff believes that the release reflected in the Release Agreement will remove barriers to development of the Subject Property and promote earlier completion of the Specific Plan, resulting in direct economic and other benefits to and within the City.
In the alternative, the City Council could vote not to approve the Release Agreement, which would result in the Subject Property remaining subject to all terms and conditions of the Disposition Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
As more specifically set forth in the Resolution, approval of the Release Agreement does not constitute approval by the City of any development of the Property or of other activity on the Property that would have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect environmental impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (Pub. Res.
Code, § 21065; 14 Cal. Code Regs., §§ 15060(c)(2), 15064(d), & 15378.) Moreover, in accordance with CEQA, the City Council of the City of Fontana certified the Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2005111048) on March 27, 2007 (“CertifiedEIR”). The Certified EIR adequately addressed the project impacts associated with the adoption of the Specific Plan. The requirements of the Specific Plan run with the Property regardless of ownership and are not impacted by the Disposition Agreement or the release therefrom.
Accordingly, no further environmental review is required for the Disposition Agreement or the proposed Release Agreement pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164. (14 Cal. Code Regs., §§ 15162-15164.) FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the Release Agreement will have no direct fiscal impact on the City.
MOTION:
Approve the staff recommendation.

RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Release Agreement (“ Agreement”) is between (i) the City of Fontana, a California municipal corporation and general law city (“ City”), and (ii) HDO4, LLC, a New Mexico limited liability company (“Developer”). In this Agreement, City and Developer are sometimes referred to individually as a “party” and collectively as the “parties.” This Agreement is dated October __, 2024, for reference purposes only. It will not become effective until the “Effective Date” defined below.
RECITALS
A. City and Developer are parties to that certain 2020 Disposi tion Agreement dated July 2, 2020 (including the Exhibits attached thereto, collectively, “Disposition Agreement”).
B. A “Notice of Agreement” pertaining to the Disposition Agreement was recorded in San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office on November 5, 2020, as Document No. 2020-0437487.
C. In accord with the Disposition Agreement, City conveyed to Developer certain real property (“ Property”) located in the City and more specifically described on Exhibit A attached hereto.

Land, and to finance the Property’s development. Those covenants, restrictions, obligations, and liabilities have impeded and delayed Developer’s ability to develop the Subject Land.
F. Developer has requested, and City has agreed to, except as set forth below (i) fully and unconditionally release the Subject Land from the encumbrances, restrictions, and servitudes arising under the Disposition Agreement, and (ii) (A) release Developer from any and all covenants, ob ligations, and liabilities under the Disposition Agreement with respect to the Subject Land, and (B) release the Guarantor (defined below) from all covenants, obligations, and liabilities under the Guaranty (defined below) with respect to the Subject Land.
G. By releasing the Subject Land from the burdens and restrictions of the Disposition Agreement, the development of the Subject Land will occur sooner than if the Subject Land remained subject to the Disposition Agreement. The accelerated development will c reate additional economic opportunities, sales tax revenues, property tax revenues, and other revenues to support City services more quickly than if the Subject Land remained subject to the Disposition Agreement.
AGREEMENT
1. Release of Developer and the Subj ect Land from Disposition Agreement . As of the Effective Date, City, fully and unconditionally releases and discharges Developer and the Subject Land from any covenant, restriction, servitude, obligation, or liability arising under the Disposition Agreem ent and the Grant Deed, excepting only the Preserved Claims (defined below). For purposes of clarity, from and after the Effective Date, the Subject Land may be freely sold, assigned, transferred, hypothecated, and encumbered without restriction, without notice to or consent from City, and without regard to any requirement or restriction arising under the Disposition Agreement. The parties’ intention entering into this Agreement is to fully, finally, unconditionally, and forever release and discharge the Subject Land and Developer from any covenant, restriction, servitude, obligation, or liability arising under the Disposition Agreement with respect to the Subject Land, excepting only the Preserved Claims.
2. Release of Guarantor as to the Subject Land .

recordation of this Agreement, or (ii) releases the Guarantor from any obligation or liability as to a Guaranteed Obligation with respect to the Subject Land to the extent that the obligation or liability accrued prior to the recordation of this Agreement ((i) and (ii), collectiv ely, the “Preserved Claims”).
b. The releases and discharges set forth in this Agreement includes all debts, obligations, or liabilities of any type, nature or amount, liquidated or unliquidated, past, present, and prospective, whether or not known or unknown to City or suspected to exist in City’s favor to the extent attributable to the Subject Land, excepting only the Preserved Claims. Excepting only the Preserved Claims, City waives to the greatest legal extent the protections and provisions of Civil Code section 1542, which provides:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have material ly affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
The foregoing waiver includes Civil Code section 1542 and all other federal or state laws of similar import.
5. No Effect on City’s Police Powers or on Balance of the Property . This Agreement affects the Subject Land only and does not modify or release any covenant, obligation, restriction, liability, or servitude arising under the Disposition Agreement affecting any portion of the Property other than the Subject Land. Other than the Subje ct Land, all portions of the Property remain subject to the covenants, obligations, restrictions, liabilities, and servitudes arising under the Disposition Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement modifies or limits the City’s lawful exercise of its police po wers to regulate development of the Property (including the Subject Land) as provided by applicable federal, state, and local law. Nothing in this Agreement in any respect does or shall be construed to affect or prejudge the exercise of City’s discretion to the extent allowed by applicable law concerning the issuance of development approvals for the Subject Land and City retains full discretion to the extent allowed by applicable law with respect to the Subject Land, including making any legally -required C EQA determination with respect to Subject Land, and any mitigation measures, conditions of approval pursuant to CEQA and all other applicable laws. Nothing in this Agreement modifies or terminates the Guaranty except as specifically set forth in this Agre ement, nor does it modify or terminate any other agreement or obligation between City and Developer respecting the balance of the Property or its development.
6. Modification of Disposition Agreement and Related Instruments . For the sake of convenience, City and Developer agree to forego preparing specific amendments to the Disposition Agreement, Grant Deed, and Notice of Agreement that may otherwise be necessitated by the releases and other modifications set forth in this Agreement. City and Developer agree that the Disposition Agreement, Grant Deed, and Notice of Agreement will, as of the Effective Date, be deemed amended to conform to the terms of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity and as an example, all covenants, obligations, restrictions, liabilit ies, and servitudes relating to, affecting, or encumbering the Subject Land will be deemed to have been 217

deleted from the Disposition Agreement for purposes of the future interpretation and enforcement of the Disposition Agreement, Grant Deed, Guaranty, and Notice of Agreement.

DISCUSSION:
Background
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021, providing additional relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19 on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses. ARPA funding of $1.9 trillion provided for $362 billion in flexible fiscal aid to state and local governments in America under the State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). The City of Fontana was allocated $50.3 million in ARPA SLFRF funds. The U.S.
Department of the Treasury issued an Interim Final Rule in May 2021, and the Final Rule in January 2022, to implement the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds established under ARPA.
On March 8, 2022, the City Council approved the original ARPA Expenditure Plan (Plan). On City of Fontana Printed on 10/3/2024Page 1 of 5

Agenda #: A. Category: New Business
September 13, 2022, the City Council subsequently approved a revised Plan which properly categorized existing projects per the Final Rule and eliminated projects that were determined to be ineligible. As all projects were determined eligible in concept for ARPA funding, staff has worked diligently with the City Attorney’s office and HdL ECONSolutions ensuring that all project details met ARPA Final Rule requirements. Currently, all projects have received a final legal determination as to their eligibility. An Updated ARPA plan is presented to Council a few times each Fiscal Year to ensure proper allocation of funds.
Current Plan
The current Plan reflects expenditures in four primary Federal Eligible Use Categories. As the U.S.
Department of Treasury (Treasury) continues to refine reporting requirements, the table below reflects the current budget in the updated categories per the Treasury reporting requirements.
Recommended Plan - Revisions
The revisions proposed for the current Plan budget reflect no change in appropriation.

Leveraged Project: Accela 3,406,636 3,406,636 Public Health & Economic Response This is a new project and it is recommended that it is funded in the amount of $3.6 million in an effort to leverage funds for projects originally requested in the Revenue Loss category.
2021-22 2023-24 3,406,636 Y In 2021 the Innovation and Technology Department began efforts to improve business processes in the land management and permitting systems. During the pandemic, it became clear that paper processes were no longer an effective way of serving our residents or business partners. The city wished to replace the existing solution with an improved digital solution to meet the needs of city employees, residents, and businesses. Over the course of a year, city staff reviewed processes and gathered requirements for a new solution.
A new solution was selected in late 2021 to help improve processes in the land management and permitting system space. Throughout 2022 the IT department has continued to lead this project, working alongside almost every city department to ensure the new solution will be tailored to meet the city of Fontana’s needs in this space. This project has been a 3-year effort, and we are now nearing the tail-end of the project. The new, improved solution will seamlessly connect with surrounding systems, assist customers with an easy-to-use interface, ensure city employees process requests in a consistent and efficient manner, and provide dynamic insights to internal operations. The new solution went live July 2023. This project is complete Leveraged Project: Fontana 311 2,452,445 1,953,695 Public Health & Economic Response This is a new project and it is recommended that it is funded in the amount of $3.2 million in an effort to leverage funds for projects originally requested in the Revenue Loss category.

The City of Fontana developed and implemented the Fontana 311 system to improve communication and streamline services to its Residents and Businesses by bringing all customer interactions to one central location.
The Fontana 311 system will be a one-stop shop for businesses and residents to file complaints, get answers to questions, keep residents informed and overall improve citizen engagement. The Innovation and Technology department led the project to develop this new system and was sponsored by our Communications and Marketing office. Throughout 2022 and 2023, there has been extensive work with almost every city department to ensure all city services are captured within the application.
Residents will be able to call 311, use a website, or our 311 app to make that first request and then see it through to completion. The Fontana 311 system will allow staff to track requests from initiation to completion. Fontana 311 offers digital government services and makes interacting with government a much smoother process for our residents and businesses. The Fontana 311 system went live in February of 2023 and is now entering phase 2 of the project, which will bring an IVR with AI to assist our residents when they call for services.
