Montclair, California 91763
RE: Proposal to Provide Professional Engineering Design Services for Traffic Signal Improvements on Holt Boulevard
Dear Ms. Heredia:
AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA) is pleased to present to the City of Montclair the following proposal under our On-Call Traffic Engineering Services agreement with the City. Our proposal is to provide professional engineering design services to perform traffic signal improvements along the Holt Boulevard corridor between Amherst Avenue and Benson Avenue. It is important to note that AGA previously worked on the design of a traffic signal modification plan at the intersection of Holt Boulevard and Amherst Avenue which included new communications conduit on Holt Boulevard between Amherst Avenue and Ramona Avenue. Additionally, AGA prepared Montclair’s Citywide Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan identifying proposed routing of new fiber optic infrastructure and has provided on-call services to the City of Montclair for over two decades. AGA’s extensive knowledge of the City’s traffic signal system will allow AGA to “hit the ground running” on this important project.
AGA staff has also developed excellent relationships with both Engineering and Information Technology staff at the City plus we have an in-depth understanding of the City’s communications system and the QuicNet traffic signal system. The AGA Team will leverage the experience gained via previous projects in the City and our personal relationships to complete Phases II and III of the Citywide Fiber Optic Communications project in a timely and efficient manner.
Based on this wealth of experience, and having worked in the City of Montclair for over two decades and completing similar projects, the AGA Team has developed a unique project approach to streamline design and field implementation in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Our goal is to provide the City with a smooth and seamless project experience from the initial project kick-off meeting through implementation and into the operations phase. Furthermore, any one of our key project team members can be on-site and accessible to City staff with a quick phone call.
EXHIBIT "A" Page 15 of 20 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 135 of 292 Integration of these systems requires extensive knowledge and expertise of the systems. AGA staff has in-depth knowledge and experience in integrating and maintaining/supporting the City of Montclair’s traffic signal system.
AGA staff experience in integrating the central system hardware (computer servers, workstations, Ethernet switches, modems, port servers, and fiber optic equipment components) with field elements including interfacing with traffic signal system vendors, communication systems specialists and City’s Information Technology staff will be key to project success. Additionally, due to our on-going signal system monitoring projects in the City and with various agencies, AGA is fully knowledgeable of each of the systems’ complexities and key interrelationships of hardware, software, and people.
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Management
Team meetings will be held as required. As Project Managers, Mr. Ignacio Sanchez and Mr. Ruben Perales will arrange/chair all formal meetings that are included as part of the project scope of work.
They will be responsible for adherence to the project schedule for maintaining quality control of all project work products. In short, they will do everything necessary to ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and in a manner that fulfills all the goals and objectives of the City of Montclair. Additionally, they will fully leverage AGA’s Project Administrative team experience in managing the Project, including project budget control and invoicing, tracking of project schedule, regular project updates and progress reports, agency comment dispositions and document control and filing.
It is anticipated that all design efforts, including City review of preliminary plans, specifications and cost estimates, and providing final plans, specifications and cost estimates, can be completed within ten months of receipt of notice to proceed. Upon receipt of the actual Notice to Proceed, and prior to the project Kick-Off Meeting, AGA will prepare a detailed project schedule that includes actual start dates, activity durations, product submittal dates, etc., including City review times. Agendas and minutes will be prepared for all meetings and provided to all meeting attendees. In addition to the Kick-Off Meeting, subsequent meetings will be held as necessary. It is anticipated that meetings would be held monthly or bimonthly during the design phases of the project.
EXHIBIT "A" Page 16 of 20 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 136 of 292 Task 2: Intersection Level-of-Service Analysis and Traffic Signal Timing Intersection Level-of-Service
AGA will perform Level of Service (LOS) analysis utilizing the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology at six (6) signalized intersections along the project corridor to identify feasible modifications that may be included to improve traffic operations along the project corridor. Feasible improvements of the traffic signal operations include lane configuration modifications, adjustment to left turn lane queue storage lengths, adding protected/permissive left turn phasing (at minor streets) or converting to fully protected left turn phasing, removal of crosswalk, split phase signal operation including pedestrian shared phase, addition of right-turn overlap phasing and re-servicing of certain phases. Turning movement counts will be conducted at each project intersection along with Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts for use in conducting the LOS analysis.
AGA will field review the existing queue lengths and evaluate if any through traffic blocks access to the left/right turn lane. AGA will then assess if a turn bay/pocket will need to be lengthened or if it can be shortened.
AGA will also recommend (if needed) any safety measures that can be quickly implemented. Such measures include: Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) at school intersections and/or at heavy pedestrian crossings, additional vehicle head indications, yellow-reflective vehicle head backplates, continental crosswalks and countdown pedestrian indications.
Traffic Signal Timing
Subtask: Coordination Signal Timing
Under this task, AGA will prepare coordination signal timing plans for weekday AM/Midday/PM and weekend Midday time periods for the corridor. The coordination signal timing will be developed, implemented, and fine-tuned to facilitate the movement of traffic on the Holt Boulevard corridor. AGA will assess the traffic conditions and if new cycle lengths are required, AGA will develop new signal timing coordination plans for the entire length of Holt Boulevard in the City of Montclair. New traffic signal coordination timing sheets will be provided to the City for review and approval prior to implementation.
Subtask: Convert Existing Timing Charts
AGA will convert existing McCain 200/233 signal timing charts to timing charts specific to the new controller unitsto be installed at the project intersections. This task will involve the translation of signal timing parameters including, but not limited to, phase sequencing, time-of-day plans, detector settings, special functions, and other such operational details from the existing McCain 200/233 format timing charts to the new controller format. This task will also involve the conversion of the force-offs EXHIBIT "A" Page 17 of 20 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 137 of 292 used in the McCain 200/233 control environment to phase splits for use in the new controller. AGA engineers will perform this conversion process on each of the timing charts for all project intersections.
The City has considered upgrading the McCain QuicNet central system to McCain Transparity. If the City chooses to upgrade to the McCain Transparity system, then the Omni-eX traffic signal controller will need to be incorporated in this project.
Task 3: Traffic Signal Modification Plans and Fiber Optic Communication Plans Traffic Signal Modification Plans
Traffic Signal Modification Plans will be prepared for each signalized intersection along the Holt Boulevard corridor listed below. As previously mentioned, the intersection of Holt Boulevard at Amherst Avenue was recently modified and is not expected to receive additional modifications. The extent of the traffic signal modification plan will be based on the street improvement plans prepared by City of Montclair’s civil engineering consultant and recommendations based on the LOS analysis performed under Task 2. Each traffic signal modification plan will be prepared per the latest City of Montclair, Caltrans, and CA MUTCD standards and specifications. o Holt Boulevard at Ramona Avenue
o Holt Boulevard at Monte Vista Avenue
o Holt Boulevard at Central Avenue
o Holt Boulevard at Vernon Avenue
o Holt Boulevard at Benson Avenue
At a minimum, traffic signalized intersection modifications will require the upgrade of existing pedestrian heads to countdown pedestrian heads, and all pedestrian push buttons to meet current ADA standards. New loops, and/or new video detection systems will be reviewed and considered for possible installation. New signal poles may be needed or existing poles may need to be relocated to provide appropriate ADA clearance, or for pedestrian push buttons to be within acceptable distances to crosswalks. Pull box locations will also be reviewed for locations within the curb ramp areas. They will be relocated if possible or AGA will collaborate with the City’s civil engineering consultant to develop a suitable arrangement for incorporation of the curb ramp requirements (including truncated domes) around the pull boxes. In addition, these traffic signal modification plans will include the removal of all red-light camera poles that are no longer being used. Underground utility information will be obtained from the street improvements plans.
Fiber Optic Communication Plans
AGA will prepare a 40 scale Fiber Optic Communications Plan for Holt Boulevard from Amherst Avenue to Benson Avenue. AGA will conduct a field review to identify proposed routing of new 4” fiber optic communication conduit as well as proposed locations of communication pull boxes, splice vaults, EXHIBIT "A" Page 18 of 20 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 138 of 292 communication hubs, etc. As mentioned earlier, AGA will make use of the interconnect conduit along Holt Boulevard between Amherst Avenue and Ramona Avenue which was previously installed. The final Fiber Optic Communication Plans will show all conduit, pull boxes, cable, Ethernet switches and other pertinent details to connect the new fiber optic cable to the existing/modified traffic signal controller assemblies for a complete and operational traffic signal system. All fiber optic components will be designed per the latest City of Montclair, Caltrans, and CA MUTCD standards. As part of the Fiber Optic Communication Plans, a detailed Fiber Assignments Details sheet will be included to document all fiber connections and splices along the Holt Boulevard corridor. Based on the final approved plan, AGA will develop project special provisions and an itemized construction cost estimate for all required improvements.
Task 4: Construction Engineering Support
As part of this task, AGA will provide construction engineering support during construction of the proposed improvements to include the following:
o Review and provide responses to prospective bidder’s questions related to traffic signal modification plan during bid process.
o After award of construction, attend pre-construction meeting to address any traffic signal improvement related items.
o Assist in reviewing and providing recommendations on traffic signal equipment and fiber optic communication equipment submittals from Contractor.
o Review and provide recommendations on any Request for Information (RFIs) or Contract Change Orders (CCOs) from Contractor during construction of the traffic signal improvements. o Prepare final as-built plans based on Contractor’s redlines from the field.
Task 5: System Integration
AGA will provide overall system integration which includes coordination with the construction contractor responsible for installing new signal controllers and cabinets, communication hardware (cables, switches, Ethernet radios, etc.), CCTV cameras, etc. AGA will work hand in hand with the contractor in configuring all IP devices installed as part of the project. Connectivity from the Traffic Management Center to all IP devices in the field will be verified and documented. AGA will also be present at the time of controller change-outs and/or cabinet assembly installations to verify all controller programming and intersection operations. Any changes made to network parameters (VLAN'S, IP addressing), if any, will be documented in the as-built plans.

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 3
FILE I.D.: PDT175
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: M. BUTLER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–89 WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FOR ACCESS TO THE SHERIFF’S AUTOMATED SYSTEMS, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS
DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY/POLICE CHIEF ROBERT AVELS TO SIGN AGREEMENT NO. 22–89
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: To access criminal offender record information and other criminal justice information, the City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–89 with San Bernardino County for access to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Automated Systems.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–89 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The County of San Bernardino, through the Sheriff’s Department, has served as the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) administrator for many years. As such, the Sheriff’s Department has facilitated the exchange of criminal offender record information and other criminal justice information between the Montclair Police Department and statewide criminal justice agencies, as well as nationwide and in Canada, via the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS). In addition, the Sheriff’s Department facilitates the interchange of computerized criminal history data between several agencies and databases, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); National Crime Information Center (NCIC); California Department of Justice, Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) System; California Sex and Arson Registry (CSAR); and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The City entered into Agreement No. 14–41 for continued access to the Sheriff’s Automated Systems, which expired on June 30, 2017. Due to an oversight, this agreement was not renewed; however, the County has continued to provide the Montclair Police Department with these services, and the City has continued to pay the annual maintenance and support costs for these services. The contract term of proposed Agreement No. 22–89 would be July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2027.
Access to the Sheriff’s Automated Systems is provided via connection to the County’s Wide Area Network (WAN), which is covered under a separate agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Annual maintenance and support costs for access to the Sheriff’s Automated Systems for Fiscal Year 2022–23 would be $1,203, which is included in the Information Technology Services Budget in Account No. 1001–4203–52450–400–00000.
Additionally, the City would be billed transaction fees resulting from using the Sheriff’s Department Jail Management System (JIMS), Sheriff’s Central Name Index (CNI), and Sheriff’s Automated Warrants (SAW). The City would also be billed at a rate of six cents per transaction in the Property Evidence Tracking System (PETS), which would be included with the quarterly bills for CLETS. These rates only apply to Fiscal Year 2022– MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 163 of 292 23 and would be adjusted each fiscal year through June 30, 2027.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement No. 22–89 with San Bernardino County for access to the Sheriff’s Automated Systems, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.
2. Authorize Executive Director of Public Safety/Police Chief Robert Avels to sign Agreement No. 22–89.

This indemnification provision shall apply regardless of the existence or degree of fault of indemnities. The CONTRACTOR indemnification obligation applies to the COUNTY’s “active” as well as “passive” negligence but does not apply to the COUNTY’s “sole negligence” or “willful misconduct” within the meaning of Civil Code Section 2782.
G.2 Additional Insured
All policies, except for Worker’s Compensation, Errors and Omissions and Professional Liability policies shall contain additional endorsements naming the COUNTY and its officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional named insured with respect to liabilities arising out of the performance of services hereunder. The additional insured endorsements shall not limit the scope of coverage for the COUNTY to vicarious liability but shall allow coverage for the COUNTY to the full extent provided by the policy.

G.4 Policies Primary and Non-Contributory
All policies required herein are to be primary and non-contributory with any insurance or selfinsurance programs carried or administered by the COUNTY.
G.5 Severability of Interests
The CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that coverage provided to meet these requirements is applicable separately to each insured and there will be no cross liability exclusions that preclude coverage for suits between the CONTRACTOR and the COUNTY or between the COUNTY and any other insured or additional insured under the policy.
G.6 Proof of Coverage
The CONTRACTOR shall furnish Certificates of Insurance to the COUNTY Department administering the Contract evidencing the insurance coverage at the time the Contract is executed, additional endorsements, as required shall be provided prior to the commencement of performance of services hereunder, which certificates shall provide that such insurance shall not be terminated or expire without thirty (30) days written notice to the Department, and CONTRACTOR shall maintain such insurance from the time CONTRACTOR commences performance of services hereunder until the completion of such services. Within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of this Contract, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish a copy of the Declaration page for all applicable policies and will provide complete certified copies of the policies and endorsements immediately upon request.

G.8 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retention

G.10 Insurance Review
Insurance requirements are subject to periodic review by the COUNTY. The Director of Risk Management or designee is authorized, but not required, to reduce, waive or suspend any insurance requirements whenever Risk Management determines that any of the required insurance is not available, is unreasonably priced, or is not needed to protect the interests of the COUNTY. In addition, if the Department of Risk Management determines that heretofore unreasonably priced or unavailable types of insurance coverage or coverage limits become reasonably priced or available, the Director of Risk Management or designee is authorized, but not required, to change the above insurance requirements to require additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits, provided that any such change is reasonable in light of past claims against the COUNTY, inflation, or any other item reasonably related to the COUNTY’s risk.
Any change requiring additional types of insurance coverage or higher coverage limits must be made by amendment to this Contract. CONTRACTOR agrees to execute any such amendment within thirty (30) days of receipt.
Any failure, actual or alleged, on the part of the COUNTY to monitor or enforce compliance with any of the insurance and indemnification requirements will not be deemed as a waiver of any rights on the part of the COUNTY.

SCOPE OF WORK
CITY OF MONTCLAIR
CONTRACTOR will use strategies implemented will follow the Housing First Policy and align with the San Bernardino County 10-year strategy update recommendations for individuals and families who are chronically homeless. A comprehensive outreach program will be implemented by culturally competent staff and volunteers from the community with the goal of providing rental assistance or rapid rehousing. The primary goal will be to house the individual’s experiencing homelessness or those at risk of homelessness and to provide the services needed to prevent them from returning to homelessness. The City of Montclair Outreach team consists of a code enforcement personnel with 30 years of experience in working with individuals who are homeless, and volunteers from the community who are relatable to the population that we serve. The Outreach team operates on the core value of treating every person they come in contact with dignity and respect, while engaging them in services that will promote a positive transformation. Our team meets individuals where they are in the community and customizes services offered based on the needs of the client. The City of Montclair Homeless Outreach program does not work in isolation, the program partners with a multitude of organizations across multiple counties to provide the services needed to our clients.
The City will utilize a progressive engagement approach through one-on-one contact with homeless individuals throughout the City:
I. Each individual is provided comprehensive information of resources available to them.
II. Each individual who is willing to accept help will:
a. have their information entered into the Coordinated Entry System to assess resources that best fit the individual’s needs; and
i. if they are currently homeless:
1. they will be transported to various in-house rehabilitation centers, sober living homes, as well as faith-based facilities throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside County; or
2. the individual will be provided temporary housing until resources become available
ii. If the individual is at risk of homelessness:
1. they will be provided with assistance including rental assistance, hotel vouchers, cost of utilities, and/or other emergency needs to allow the individual to remain housed or to obtain permanent housing iii. All individuals will be connected with partner organizations In addition, to remove barriers for housing, individuals with pending criminal charges and/or warrants for their arrest are represented in court by a private attorney that works closely with the Code Enforcement Unit to dismiss existing criminal charges and/or warrants pending completion of an in-house rehabilitation center or other treatment.
Measurable Outcomes:
At least 17 individuals will be referred to resources annually At least 5 individuals will be housed annually.

State of California
WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE
Section 8255
8255. For purposes of this chapter:
(a) “Coordinating council” means the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council established pursuant to Section 8257.
(b) “Core components of Housing First” means all of the following:
(1) Tenant screening and selection practices that promote accepting applicants regardless of their sobriety or use of substances, completion of treatment, or participation in services. (2) Applicants are not rejected on the basis of poor credit or financial history, poor or lack of rental history, criminal convictions unrelated to tenancy, or behaviors that indicate a lack of “housing readiness.” (3) Acceptance of referrals directly from shelters, street outreach, drop-in centers, and other parts of crisis response systems frequented by vulnerable people experiencing homelessness. (4) Supportive services that emphasize engagement and problem solving over therapeutic goals and service plans that are highly tenant-driven without predetermined goals. (5) Participation in services or program compliance is not a condition of permanent housing tenancy. (6) Tenants have a lease and all the rights and responsibilities of tenancy, as outlined in California’s Civil, Health and Safety, and Government codes.
(7) The use of alcohol or drugs in and of itself, without other lease violations, is not a reason for eviction. (8) In communities with coordinated assessment and entry systems, incentives for funding promote tenant selection plans for supportive housing that prioritize eligible tenants based on criteria other than “first-comefirst-serve,” including, but not limited to, the duration or chronicity of homelessness, vulnerability to early mortality, or high utilization of crisis services. Prioritization may include triage tools, developed through local data, to identify high-cost, high-need homeless residents. (9) Case managers and service coordinators who are trained in and actively employ evidence-based practices for client engagement, including, but not limited to, motivational interviewing and client-centered counseling.
(10) Services are informed by a harm-reduction philosophy that recognizes drug and alcohol use and addiction as a part of tenants’ lives, where tenants are engaged in nonjudgmental communication regarding drug and alcohol use, and where tenants are offered education regarding how to avoid risky behaviors and engage in safer practices, as well as connected to evidence-based treatment if the tenant so chooses. (11) The project and specific apartment may include special physical features that accommodate disabilities, reduce harm, and promote health and community and independence among tenants. (c) “Homeless” has the same definition as that term is defined in Section 91.5 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(d) (1) “Housing First” means the evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, for recovery and that centers on providing or connecting homeless people to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Housing First providers offer services as needed and requested on a voluntary basis and that do not make housing contingent on participation in services.
(2) (A) “Housing First” includes time-limited rental or services assistance, so long as the housing and service provider assists the recipient in accessing permanent housing and in securing longer-term rental assistance, income assistance, or employment.
(B) For time-limited, supportive services programs serving homeless youth, programs should use a positive youth development model and be culturally competent to serve unaccompanied youth under 25 years of age. Providers should work with the youth to engage in family reunification efforts, where MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 211 of 292 Exhibit 6
appropriate and when in the best interest of the youth. In the event of an eviction, programs shall make every effort, which shall be documented, to link tenants to other stable, safe, decent housing options. Exit to homelessness should be extremely rare, and only after a tenant refuses assistance with housing search, location, and move-in assistance.
(e) “State programs” means any programs a California state agency or department funds, implements, or administers for the purpose of providing housing or housing-based services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, with the exception of Federally funded programs with requirements inconsistent with this chapter or programs that fund emergency shelters.

REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Proposed Agreement No. 22–26 is an Affordable Housing Agreement between the City of Montclair (City), the Montclair Housing Authority (MHA), and the Montclair Housing Corporation (MHC) for the conveyance of real property located at 5072 Moreno Street (Property) and the subsequent leasing and operations of said Property as an affordable housing unit.
Proposed Resolution No. 22–3342 would approve entering into Agreement No. 22–26 and would authorize the transfer of Property from the City to the MHA.
Proposed MHA Resolution No. 22–01 would approve entering into Agreement No. 22–26 and accept the transfer of Property from the City to the MHA.
Proposed MHC Resolution No. 22–01 would approve entering into Agreement No. 22–
26. A copy of the proposed resolutions and agreement are attached for review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: In June 1987, the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Board of Directors adopted the Central Avenue Single–family Acquisition Policy (Policy) authorizing staff to make purchase offers on single–family residences along the Central Avenue corridor, subject to the former Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors’ approval.
The Policy was later expanded to include areas along Central Avenue or in high visibility locations. Pursuant to the Policy, a total of 17 single–family homes were purchased by the former RDA before its dissolution.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 213 of 292 With the dissolution of community redevelopment agencies in 2011 (ABX1 26) California Supreme Court’s decision in California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos, the City Council elected to continue the Policy of the former RDA of acquiring single–family residences along the Central Avenue corridor or in locations of high visibility and further expanded the Policy to included residences along all of the City’s major corridors.
The properties formerly owned by the RDA were transferred to the Montclair Housing Authority (MHA), the successor housing entity, and are currently renting to low– to– moderate–income families and are managed by the Montclair Housing Corporation (MHC). MHC is a nonprofit public–benefit corporation organized to increase, improve, and preserve affordable housing in the City of Montclair.
The rents and other income from the MHC belong to the MHA; however, they are granted to the MHC for use in covering expenses of operating the various housing units. The amount of rent collected from renters is established by the State Department of Housing and Community Development and varies based on income levels. 5072 Moreno Avenue
At its meeting on March 16, 2020, the City Council approved Agreement No. 20–21, a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Dolores Casa Fimbres for a single–family residence located at 5072 Moreno Street (Property).
The subject Property is located on a highly visible and desirable portion of Moreno Street, directly north of Montclair Place, thereby meeting the criteria established in the City Council’s Policy to acquire properties along the City’s major corridors and areas of high visibility.
The Property was built in 1962, and the lot area is 8,449 square feet. The dwelling unit is 1,458 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Due to the age of the Property and in order to bring the Property up to code, staff is recommending several improvements to the residential unit. The bulk of the improvements to the Property would address a general property clean–up, paint, fence replacement, bathroom updates, and new landscaping. In addition, due to current drought conditions, a simple water–efficient landscape–planting design for the rear and front yards is also recommended.
The proposed improvements alone would have an immediate positive impact on the neighborhood. Staff is requesting that a $40,000 appropriation from the Montclair Housing Corporation Fund be authorized to fund the recommended repairs to the Property.

To meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), a representation of future housing needs for all income levels in a region, staff recommends the Property be operated as a rental unit made available to low–to–moderate–income persons.
As such, staff has prepared Agreement No. 22–26, an Affordable Housing Agreement by and between the City, MHA, and MHC.
Proposed Agreement No. 22–26 contains language related to the conveyance of the Property, compliance with applicable laws, use of the property, remedies, and general provisions. The more salient points of proposed Agreement No. 22–26 relate to the conveyance of fee title of Property from the City to the MHA and leasing of the Property MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 214 of 292 from the MHA to the MHC for the day–to–day operation of the Property, as well as the rehabilitation and rental of the Property to low–to–moderate–income persons.
Proposed Resolution No. 22–3342 would approve entering into Agreement No. 22–26 and authorize the transfer of property from the City to the MHA.
Proposed MHA Resolution No. 22–01 would approve entering into Agreement No. 22–26 and accept the transfer of Property from the City to the MHA.
Proposed MHC Resolution No. 22–01 would approve entering into Agreement No. 22–
26. FISCAL IMPACT: Adopting Agreement No. 22–26 would produce no fiscal impact on the City of Montclair General Fund.
Staff is recommending authorization of $40,000 from the Montclair Housing Corporation to cover estimated costs for rehabilitation of the property.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 22–3342 approving Agreement No. 22–26, an Affordable Housing Agreement between the City of Montclair, Montclair Housing Authority, and Montclair Housing Corporation; authorizing the transfer of certain real property located at 5072 Moreno Street to the Montclair Housing Authority; and declaring the real property to be exempt surplus land.
Staff recommends the Montclair Housing Authority Commissioners adopt Resolution No. 22–01 approving Agreement No. 22–26, an Affordable Housing Agreement, and accepting the transfer of certain real property located at 5072 Moreno Street from the City of Montclair.
Staff recommends the Montclair Housing Corporation Board of Directors take the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution. No. 22–01 approving Agreement No. 22–26, an Affordable Housing Agreement.
2. Authorize a $40,000 appropriation from the Housing Trust Fund for rehabilitation of the property located at 5072 Moreno Street.

4.2 Management. Lessee shall manage or cause the Property to be managed in a prudent and business-like manner, consistent with first-class single family rental housing in San Bernardino County, California.

Lessee may act as manager. Approval of a management company or manager by Authority shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, at any time, the management company is not performing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority, or its Executive Director or the City Manager of the City, and said condition is not corrected after expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of written notice from the Authority, the Authority may direct the Lessee to, and the Lessee shall, terminate immediately the management contract.

Furthermore, Lessee shall not maintain or commit any nuisance, as now or hereafter defined by any applicable statutory or decisional law, on the Property, or any part thereof.
SECTION 5. RENT.
5.1 Net Lease. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the rent provided herein shall be absolutely net to Authority and that Lessee shall pay all costs, charges and expenses of every kind and nature against the Property which may arise or become due during the Term and which, except for execution hereof, would or could have been payable by Authority.
5.2 Rent.
(A) During the Term of this Lease, Lessee agrees to pay in advance, on the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each “Lease Year” (as hereinafter defined), rent in the amount of One Dollar ($1.00). The parties understand and acknowledge that the primary consideration for this Lease is the performance of the covenants set forth in this Lease and the Agreement, particularly (without limitation, however) the covenants to rent the units to low- and moderate income tenants at an affordable rent pursuant to Section 6 hereof and Section 4.2 of the Agreement. As used herein, a “Lease Year” shall consist of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months ending on the anniversary (the “Anniversary Date”) of the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date.

The response must discuss each condition or finding and set forth a proposed resolution, including a schedule for correcting any deficiency. All conditions or correction actions shall take place within six (6) months after receipt of the audit report unless the Authority Executive Director or designee authorizes an extension of time to submit such corrections.
5.3 Payment of Rent. All rent that becomes due and payable pursuant to this Lease shall be paid to the Authority at the address of the Authority listed in Section 26.7 or such other place as the Authority may from time to time designate by written notice to the Lessee without notice or demand, and without setoff, counterclaim, abatement, deferment, suspension or deduction. Except as expressly provided herein, under no circumstances or conditions, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or whether beyond the present contemplation of the parties, shall the Authority be expected or required to make any payment of any kind whatsoever or to perform any act or obligation whatsoever or be under any obligation or liability hereunder or with respect to the Property.

The Authority may, from time to time, assist in the leasing of the House by providing to the Lessee names of persons who have expressed interest in renting the House. Lessee shall adopt a tenant selection system, which shall be approved by the Authority.

6.5 Income of Tenants. Prior to the rental or lease of each of the House to a tenant, and annually thereafter, the Lessee shall obtain an income certification from the tenant of the Property.
The Lessee shall verify the income certification of the tenant in one or more of the following methods:
(A) obtain two (2) paycheck stubs from the tenant’s two (2) most recent pay periods, if any.
(B) obtain a true copy of an income tax return from the tenant for the most recent tax year in which a return was filed.
(C) obtain an income verification certification from the employer of the tenant. (D) obtain an income verification certification from the Social Security Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the tenant receives assistance from such agencies.
(E) obtain a credit report from a commercial credit reporting agency. (F) obtain an alternate form of income verification reasonably requested by the Lessee, if none of the above forms of verification is available to the Lessee.
A person or family who at the time of income certification qualified as a Low Income Household shall continue to be deemed so qualified, until such time as the person or family’s income is redetermined and the person or family is determined by the Lessee to no longer be so qualified, even if such person or family’s income has subsequently increased to an amount above the applicable income level. Upon the Lessee’s determination that the tenant is no longer qualified as a Low Income Household, such tenant shall no longer be eligible to rent the Property and shall be given a written notice which requires such tenant to vacate the Property within sixty (60) days, and the Lessee shall provide assistance to such tenants in finding another appropriate rental unit in the vicinity. The tenant lease shall contain the above provisions. In addition, the Lessee shall annually submit to the Authority a certification that the House is actually occupied by Low-Income Households in such form as may be provided by the Authority.
6.6 Determination of Affordable Rent for the Property. The House shall be rented at an “Affordable Rent” to be established by the Authority as provided herein. The maximum monthly rental amount for the Property shall be established at the lesser of (a) fair market rent, as reasonably determined by the Operator, or (b) thirty percent (30%) of sixty percent (60%) of San Bernardino County median income for a household size appropriate for the unit or, if greater, the amount determined pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 50053(b)(3). Household size appropriate to the unit shall mean two persons for a one bedroom House, three persons for a two bedroom House, four persons for a three bedroom House, and five persons for a four bedroom House. The rents of the Property may be increased once per year, regardless of when particular tenants commenced occupancy of the House. The maximum monthly rental amount for the House shall include a reasonable utilities allowance to be determined by the Authority, which utilities allowance shall be set at an amount which will cover the projected charge for all utilities (whether paid for by Lessee or paid directly by the individual tenant), including gas and electrical service, water, sewer and garbage collection, but excluding telephone service and cable television. The Authority may in its discretion base the utilities allowance on a utilities allowance adopted in connection with the Section 8 program administered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Upon the approval of the Authority MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - 08/15/2022 Page 236 of 292 Attachment No. 2
or Authority Executive Director, rents may be established at amounts which are lower than the maximum monthly rental amounts set forth above.

(B) The Property shall be assessed and taxed in the same manner as privately owned property, provided, however, that Lessee may apply for and obtain a full or partial exemption from property taxes. The Authority shall provide notice to the San Bernardino County Assessor within thirty (30) days of the commencement of this Lease as required by Health and Safety Code Section 33673.1. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment thereof, all real estate taxes levied against any and all interests in the Property during the Term, and not merely the assessed value of the leasehold interest in the Property. (C) Any real estate taxes which are payable by Lessee hereunder shall be prorated between Authority and Lessee as of the Commencement Date and then again at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(D) Lessee shall have the right to apply for the “welfare exemption” and any other applicable exemption from real property taxes, and shall further have the right to contest the amount or validity of any real estate taxes, in whole or in part, by appropriate administrative and legal proceedings, without any costs or expense to Authority. Lessee may postpone payment of any such contested real estate taxes pending the prosecution of such proceedings and any appeals so long as such proceedings shall operate to prevent the collection of such real estate taxes and the sale of the Property to satisfy any lien arising out of the nonpayment of the same, and Lessee furnishes a bond to Authority securing the payment of the same in the event a decision in such contest shall be adverse to Lessee.
7.3 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee covenants and agrees to pay before delinquency all personal property taxes, assessments and liens of every kind and nature upon all personalty as may be from time to time situated within the Property.

If any such lien shall at any time be filed against the Property, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after notice to Lessee of the filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record; provided, however, that Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any such lien by appropriate proceedings but in such event, Lessee shall notify Authority and promptly bond such lien in the manner authorized by law with a responsible surety company qualified to do business in the State of California or provide other security acceptable to Authority. Lessee shall prosecute such proceedings with due diligence.

Prior to commencement of any repair or alteration to the Property, Lessee shall give Authority not less than thirty (30) days advance notice in writing of intention to begin said activity in order that nonresponsibility notices may be posted and recorded as provided by State and local laws; provided that a shorter notice may be given in cases of emergency.
