Authorization to Share Data with California Franchise Tax Board RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-116 of the City Council of the City of Fontana authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement between the City of Fontana and the State of California Franchise Tax Board in the Local Government Sharing Program.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To operate in a businesslike manner by improving services through the effective use of technology.
DISCUSSION:
The City Business Tax Program assists both cities and the State by finding revenue that may otherwise go undetected. Many cities have implemented this program and discovered uncollected revenue through the use of Franchise Tax Board (FTB) data.
This agreement will allow the FTB and the City of Fontana to exchange data at no cost to either party. This data exchange can aid in identifying businesses and self-employed individuals that have an unmet local or state filing requirement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost to participate in this program, only a non-financial agreement to provide data. This action may potentially increase business license revenue.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.

Proposed Business License Penalty Fee Waiver for Crown Cedar Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider proposal to waive delinquency fee
COUNCIL GOALS:
· Operate in a businesslike manner by ensuring that the public debate is based on accurate information.
· Operate in a businesslike manner by correcting problems immediately.
DISCUSSION:
The City has engaged HDL to perform an audit of businesses operating in Fontana and verify these businesses are compliant on any required business licenses. An element of this audit is to notify any non-compliant businesses of the business license required and initiate collection of the necessary business license fees.
When a business is identified as being non-compliant for business license, they are requested to provide operating revenue for the prior 4 years. The business will then be assessed the appropriate licensing fees for that period of time. If, once notified and invoiced, the business chooses to remain non-compliant, the business is allowed a 30-day grace period to cure any outstanding license fee’s due the city. After 30 days the business will be assessed a penalty on their outstanding balance.
On 5/31/2023 Fontana based business Crown Cedar Inc. was identified by HDL as having rental income and was notified they were out of compliance with the city’s business license requirements.
The business was notified again of this non-compliance on 7/13/2023 on 9/8/2023. On 9/12/2023 a representative of the business emailed HDL stating that Crown Cedar Inc. was owned by the same owner as Crown Technical Systems and did not feel an additional business license was required.
The representative was notified that the income for Crown Cedar Inc. was rental income meaning it was operating in a different business category as Crown Technical Systems and therefore was required to apply for a separate business license.
Additional notifications were sent to the business between September 2023 and April 2024 - 3 penalty waiver notifications and six compliance notifications.
Once communication was established with the business the rental income for Crown Cedar Inc. was verified. Based on the declared revenue, cumulative business license fees for the prior 4 years were City of Fontana Printed on 10/17/2024Page 1 of 2

calculated at $7,742. Per Fontana Municipal Code Section 15-45. - Delinquency an additional penalty fee in the amount of $6,748.50 was assessed.
Per Fontana Municipal Code Section 15-40(h) extension of time for filing statement or application if assessed business license fees are paid within 30 days of issuance of the invoice the city will waive the penalty. Crown Cedar Inc. was initially invoiced on 4/4/2024. Calls were made to the business on 4/11/2024, 4/12/2024, 5/20/2024 and 5/23/2024 to ensure they were aware of the invoice. The calls were not answered, and voice mails were left.
The business owner sent payment on 5/30/2024 for the delinquent business license fees in the amount of $7,742, 56 days after the first invoice was sent.
Since the payment was not received within the 30-day grace period the penalty fee was assessed and the business was notified.
The business has requested a penalty fee waiver. Per Fontana Municipal Code, staff does not have authority to waive penalty fees for late payment on business licenses.
The fee paid to HDL for business license fee collection services is 40% of the invoiced amount.
Therefore, HDL’s rate for the delinquent business license fee of $7,742 was $3,096.80 which was taken out of the payment made by Crown Cedar Inc. HDL’s rate for the penalty fee of $6,748.50 is $2,699.40. If the penalty fee is waived and not collected from the business, then the city will be paying the HDL fee from General Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Loss of fees due HDL for the unrecovered penalty fee in the amount of $2,699.40.

Approve request to waive delinquency fee

· Invest in the City’s infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
Fontana Municipal Code (“FMC”) Section 27-52 requires that an applicant applying for a tentative tract map, permit for construction of any new structure or building on undeveloped property, or a permit for substantial rehabilitation of any existing building on an existing lot of record place underground all new, upgraded, or existing on-site or off-site utilities. However, Section 27-54 permits the City’s Community Development Director (now serving as the Development Services Director) to allow an applicant to pay a sum in lieu of undergrounding off-site utilities if the Community Development Director determines that it would be impracticable, infeasible or disproportionately financially burdensome to require the undergrounding of on-site or off-site utilities. Here, the City’s Community Development Director has determined that it would be impracticable, infeasible and disproportionally financially burdensome to require Aman Brar to underground on-site/off-site utilities at the location of 14562 Slover Avenue, Assessor Parcel Number 0236-052-47, and the parties wish to enter into a sum in lieu of utility undergrounding deferral and lien agreement to defer payment and the City will provide a lien against the associated property as security.

Fontana Municipal Code (“FMC”) Section 27-52 requires that an applicant applying for a tentative tract map, permit for construction of any new structure or building on undeveloped property, or a permit for substantial rehabilitation of any existing building on an existing lot of record place underground all new, upgraded, or existing on-site or off-site utilities. However, Section 27-54 permits the City’s Community Development Director (now serving as the Development Services Director) to allow an applicant to pay a sum in lieu of undergrounding off-site utilities if the Community Development Director determines that it would be impracticable, infeasible or disproportionately financially burdensome to require the undergrounding of on-site or off-site utilities. Here, the City’s Community Development Director has determined that it would be impracticable, infeasible and disproportionally financially burdensome to require Jadel Enterprises, LLC to underground on-site/off- site utilities at the location of 14041 Slover Avenue, Fontana, CA, 92337, Assessor Parcel Number 0236-081-48, and the parties wish to enter into a sum in lieu of utility undergrounding deferral and lien agreement to defer payment, and the City will provide a lien against the associated property as security.

SUBJECT:
Request to Continue the Public Hearing, Election, and Resolutions on Formation of the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 115M (Parcel Map No. 19156) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council open and continue the public hearing on the formation of the City of Fontana Community Facilities District No. 115M, County of San Bernardino, State of California (“CFD No. 115M”), to the December 10, 2024 City Council meeting.
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:
Following the adoption of the resolution of intention to establish CFD No. 115M on September 10, 2024, the landowner, IDIL West Valley Logistics Center, LP (the “Developer”),notified the City that two of the taxable parcels included within the boundaries of CFD No. 115M needed to be removed as taxable property. The parcels in question were in fact detention basins and therefore the acreage of such parcels should be exempt and not be subject to the special tax.
This change requires the City’s special tax consultant to recalculate the special tax rates, draft an amended and restated rate and method of apportionment, and to draft a report required by Government Code, section 53325 regarding changes to the special tax presented to the City Council at the September 10, 2024 meeting. This change also requires the City’s legal counsel to revise and modify several legal documents to reflect the requested change from the Developer.
Government Code, section 53325 authorizes the City to continue a duly noticed public hearing from time to time for a period of 30 days, except that if the legislative body finds that the complexity of the proposed community facilities district requires additional time, the hearing may be continued from time to time for a period not to exceed six months.
Here, CFD No. 115M is being formed to levy a special tax on non-residential property to finance the maintenance of certain public services to be provided by CFD No. 115M. The special tax is based upon the net taxable acres of the property subject to the special tax. Removal of the parcels in question represent over nine (9) taxable acres that will no longer be available to support the special tax as currently calculated. The Developer is currently working with the City’sengineering department to determine what actions are needed to amend their final map application to account for the City of Fontana Printed on 10/16/2024Page 1 of 2

to determine what actions are needed to amend their final map application to account for the detention basins.
Once the engineering requirements are finalized, the Developer and the City will be in a position to modify the required legal documents and special tax calculations for CFD No. 115M. By continuing the public hearing this allows for sufficient time to take the corrective measures needed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All costs for establishing CFD No. 115M have been paid by the Developer through a CFD formation proceedings deposit. The additional costs related to the changes described herein will be paid for by the Developer’sdeposit. In the event the costs exceed the amount of the deposit the Developer will be required to post an additional deposit to cover the additional costs.
MOTION:
Staff recommends opening and continuing the October 22, 2024 public hearing to December 10, 2024.

Agenda #: B. Category: Public Hearing
DISCUSSION:
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 provides for the establishment of community facilities districts as an alternate method of financing certain essential public capital facilities and services, especially in the developing areas of the State of California. Once duly established by the City, a community facilities district is a separate legal entity with defined boundaries, for which the City Council acts on its behalf as its legislative body. Subject to approval by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors in compliance with the provisions of the Act, the City Council, as the legislative body of the community facilities district, may levy a special tax to pay for ongoing public services, among other actions.
The landowner, D.R. Horton Los Angeles Holding Company, Inc. (the “Developer”),has submitted a petition to the City to form Community Facilities District No. 116M for the purposes of funding certain public services. The landowner’sproperty to be included in the District consists of approximately 10.7 gross acres of mixed used residential property and will include 47 single family detached homes and 80 attached residential units for a total of 127 units. The attached units will be constructed in 16 buildings each containing five units per building. The development is generally located south of Sierra Lakes Parkway, east of Lytle Creek Road, and west of Maloof Avenue in the City.
The Community Facilities District Report (which is included with the agenda documents) contains a brief description of the services to be funded by the District by type, an estimate of the costs of providing those services, and the incidental expenses to be incurred therewith.
On September 10, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution of intention (the “Resolution of Intention) declaring its intention to establish Community Facilities District No. 116M (the “District”), which also set a public hearing on the establishment of the District for October 22, 2024. The purpose for establishing the District is to provide funding for the maintenance of parks, parkways, street lighting and open space within and surrounding the area of the District, the costs associated with the determination of the amount of a collection of taxes, the payment of taxes and costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the District.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Resolution of Intention and Government Code Section 53322, the City Clerk published a notice of the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the City at least seven (7) days before the date of the public hearing. Additionally, the City Clerk’s designee gave notice of the public hearing by mail to the sole landowner within the District’s boundaries, as prescribed by Section 53322.4 of the California Government Code, at least fifteen (15) days before the public hearing. The boundary map of the District was recorded with the County on September 24, 2024.
At this meeting, the City Council will first open and conduct the public hearing on the formation of Community Facilities District No. 116M. Immediately thereafter, and in order to form the District, the City Council will need to take the following actions in the following order:
1. Adopt the Resolution of Formation which specifies that special taxes will be levied on all parcels of taxable property in the proposed District to finance the public services described therein. The rate and method of apportionment of the proposed special taxes that may be levied for these purposes are set forth as an exhibit to the Resolution of Formation.
2. Adopt the Resolution Calling the Election which authorizes conducting the special election for the City of Fontana Printed on 10/16/2024Page 2 of 3

2. Adopt the Resolution Calling the Election which authorizes conducting the special election for the District this evening with respect to the annual levy of special taxes to pay the costs of the authorized public services, and with respect to establishing an annual appropriations limit for the District.
3. Conduct the Special Election. The City Clerk will act as the election official for the special election. The City Clerk and the landowner have consented to the holding of the special election this evening October 22, 2024. The County Registrar of Voters has certified that there are no registered voters within the boundaries of the District, and thus, the vote is by the landowner. The City Clerk will announce the results of the canvass of ballots and the special election.
4. Adopt the Resolution Declaring Election Results which declares the results of the special election.
5. Conduct a first reading of the Ordinance. If the results of the special election are in favor of the levy of special taxes within the District, the City Council may call the first reading of the Ordinance, authorizing the levy of special taxes within the District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will establish the District, which will levy each property within its boundaries using special tax formulas outlined in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax. The District’sFiscal Year 2025-26 maximum special tax has been established at $737 per unit for taxable residential property and $8,217 per acre of taxable non-residential property, in the event non-residential property is subsequently developed. The maximum special tax is subject to a 2% increase per year, effective July 1, 2026. All costs for establishing the District have been paid by the Developer with ongoing yearly maintenance services costs paid by the property owners subject to the special tax.
MOTION:
After conducting the public hearing, Approve the Resolution of Formation, Resolution Calling Election, Resolution Declaring Results of Election, and give first reading to Ordinance upon staff recommendation.

All of the property located withinCFD No. 116M, unless exempted by law or by the Rate and Method of Apportionment (defined below), shall be taxed for the purpose of funding public services authorized to be financed byCFD No. 116M. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed “is a special tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property.” The special tax “may be based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the costs of making authorized facilities o r authorized services available to each parcel or other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body,” although the special tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax (the "Rate and Method of Apportionment") proposed to be levied withinCFD No. 116M is described in Exhibit C to the Resolution of Intention. This proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment, also provided herein as Appendix A, provides information sufficient to allow each property owner within CFD No. 116M to estimate the maximum annual Special Tax he or she will be required to pay.
Sections A through D below provide additional information on the Rate and Method of Apportionment.
A Explanation for Special Tax Apportionment
When a community facilities district is formed, a special tax may be levied on each parcel of taxable property within the community facilities district to pay for the construction, acquisition and rehabilitation of public facilities, to pay for authorized services or to repay bonded indebtedness or other related expenses incurred by a community facilities district.
This special tax must be apportioned in a reasonable manner; however, the tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis.
Based on the types of public services that are proposed forCFD No. 116M, the Special Taxes assigned to Developed Property are generally proportionate to the relative benefits received by them, and, accordingly, the Special Taxes in CFD No. 116M can be considered fair and reasonable.
B Maximum Special Tax
Table 1 within the Rate and Method of Apportionment lists the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Maximum Special Tax that may be levied against Developed Property within CFD No. 116M to fund the Special Tax Requirement. On each July 1, commencing July 1, 2026, the Maximum Special Tax shall be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the amount in effect for the previous Fiscal Year. No Special Tax shall be levied on Undeveloped Property, Public Property, or Property Owner Association Property in CFD No. 116M.

Significant Economic Trends
Nationally:
• The 3.0% annual rate increase in real GDP primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, private inventory investment, nonresidential fixed investment, and increased imports. Experts anticipate that, The revisions only strengthen our conviction that the US economy will continue to expand at a decent pace over the coming year, which suggests labor market conditions are unlikely to deteriorate markedly from here. Meaning that the US economy is looking stable, moving forward.
• The US unemployment rate is 4.2%, which is higher than the 3.8% rate from the previous year. The number of unemployed people is 7.1 million, which is also higher than the 6.3 million from the previous year. That’s slightly below expectations, with traders and economists considering this to be the most consequential piece of data in years. Job gains came in below projections for August, with a total of 142,000. The consensus estimated monthly expectation was an increase of 160,000, according to Morningstar, an investing firm.
The State of California:
• California’ economic recovery from the brief but sharp recession during the COVID-19 pandemic has been slower than the nation as a whole. Experts say, “the state’s economy is growing, just at a slower-than-typical rate (and) California’s problems relate to a number of unforced policy and fiscal errors, which have created a drag on the state’s ability to grow. A change in approach would serve California well, but this can only occur if we align the narrative about the state’s economy with the reality. The unemployment rate was reported at 5.2%, The jobless rate translates into slightly over 1 million of California’s 19.4 million-person labor force being unemployed. The labor force is defined as adults of working age who either hold jobs or are seeking work.
City of Fontana
• Fiscal Year 2023/24 ended with 701 single family dwelling permits being issued. At the end of September 2024, 83 single family dwelling permits have been issued compared to 170 permits for the prior fiscal year. • First Quarter 24/25 sales were 7% lower than the same quarter one year ago. This is primarily due to the State being behind on sales tax processing. • The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is currently paying 4.58% (daily rate) on City investments as of September 30, 2024, up from 3.48% for the same time last year. The 2-year treasury benchmark rate as of September 30, 2024, is 3.66% down from 5.03% last year.

General Fund Revenues
Revenues continue to be monitored on a monthly basis. Staff recommends a net increase in revenues of $211,280 as part of the First Quarter Budget Status Report. See page 23 for details of the revenue adjustments.
NOTE: Property Tax in-lieu of VLF collections are lagging due to the State’s distribution which provides for lump-sum payments in January and May. Interest revenue is received starting in October and is followed by a year-end accrual for a full twelve months of interest. A large number of Business Licenses are renewable in December. A large share of Franchise revenues is received annually in the month of April. When adjusted for these anomalies, the percent of recommended budget received is 11.95%.
