Proposition 26 Proposition 26 (“Proposition 26”), which was approved by California voters on November 2, 2010, revises the California Constitution to expand the definition of “taxes.” Proposition 26 re-categorizes many State and local fees as taxes and specifies a requirement of two-thirds voter approval for taxes levied by local governments. Proposition 26 requires the State obtain the approval of two-thirds of both houses of the State Legislature for any proposed change in State statutes, which would result in any taxpayer paying a higher tax. Proposition 26 eliminates the previous practice whereby a tax increase coupled with a tax reduction that resulted in an overall neutral fiscal effect was subject only to a majority vote in the State Legislature. Furthermore, pursuant to Proposition 26, any increase in a fee above the amount needed to provide the specific service or benefit is deemed to be a tax and the approval thereof will require such two-thirds vote of approval to be effective. In addition, for State imposed fees and charges, any fee or charge adopted after January 1, 2010, with a majority vote of approval of the State Legislature which would have required a two-thirds vote of approval of the State Legislature if Proposition 26 were effective at the time of such adoption is repealed as of November 2011 absent the re-adoption by the requisite two-thirds vote. Proposition 26 amends Article XIII C of the State Constitution to state that a “tax” means a levy, charge or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government, except (1) a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege; (2) a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product; (3) a charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof; (4) a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property or the purchase rental or lease of local government property; (5) a fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government as a result of a violation of law; (6) a charge imposed as a condition of property development; or (7) assessments and property related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Proposition 218. Proposition 26 applies to any levy, charge or exaction imposed, increased, or extended by local government on or after November 3, 2010, unless exempted, as stated above. Accordingly, fees adopted prior to that date are not subject to the measure until they are increased or extended or if it is determined that an exemption applies. As of the date hereof, none of the City’s fees or charges has been challenged in a court of law in connection with the requirements of Proposition 26. If the local government specifies how the funds from a proposed local tax are to be used, the approval will be subject to a two-thirds voter requirement. If the local government does not specify how the funds from a proposed local tax are to be used, the approval will be subject to a fifty percent voter requirement. Proposed local government fees that are not subject to Proposition 26 generally are subject to the approval of a majority of the governing body. In general, proposed property charges will be subject to a majority vote of approval by the governing body although certain proposed property charges will also require approval by a majority of the affected property owners.

Proposition 19 On November 3, 2020, State voters approved a constitutional amendment entitled Property Tax Transfers, Exemptions and Revenue for Wildfire Agencies and Counties Amendment (“Proposition 19”), which will: (i) expand special rules that give property tax savings to homeowners that are over the age of 55, severely disabled, or whose property has been impacted by a natural disaster or contamination, when they buy a different home; (ii) narrow existing special rules for inherited properties; and (iii) broaden the scope of legal entity ownership changes that trigger reassessment of properties. The City cannot make any assurance as to what effect the implementation of Proposition 19 will have on assessed valuation of real property in the City. Future Initiatives Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID, Propositions 1A, 22, 26 and 19 were each adopted as measures that qualified for the ballot pursuant to the State’s initiative process. From time to time, other initiative measures could be adopted, which may place further limitations on the ability of the State, the City or local districts to increase revenues or to increase appropriations which may affect the City’s revenues or its ability to expend its revenues. RISK FACTORS This section provides a general overview of certain risk factors which should be considered, in addition to the other matters set forth in this Official Statement, in evaluating an investment in the Series 2022A Bonds. This section is not meant to be a comprehensive or definitive discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Series 2022A Bonds, and the order in which this information is presented does not necessarily reflect the relative importance of various risks. Potential investors in the Series 2022A Bonds are advised to consider the following factors, among others, and to review this entire Official Statement to obtain information essential to the making of an informed investment decision. Any one or more of the risk factors discussed below, among others, could lead to a decrease in the market value and/or in the marketability of the Series 2022A Bonds. There can be no assurance that other risk factors not discussed herein will not become material in the future. Bonds are Unsecured General Fund Obligations of the City The obligation of the City to make Base Rental Payments does not constitute an obligation of the City for which the City is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation. The Indenture does not create a pledge, lien or encumbrance upon the funds of the City. Pursuant to law, the Series 2022A Bonds are payable from any available funds of the City. The City covenants in the Lease Agreement to punctually pay the interest on and principal of every Bond in strict conformity with the terms thereof and of the Indenture. The City is liable and may become liable on other obligations payable from general revenues, some of which may have a priority over payments of the principal of, and interest on, the Series 2022A Bonds, or which the City, in its discretion, may determine to pay prior to the principal of, and interest on, the Series 2022A Bonds. A variety of national, state or regional factors, which are beyond the control of the City could reduce the City’s General Fund revenues or increase the City’s General Fund expenditures. If the amounts which the City is obligated to pay in a Fiscal Year exceed the City’s revenues for such year, the City may choose

-65-
to make some payments rather than making other payments, including payments on the Series 2022A Bonds, based on the perceived needs of the City. The same result could occur if, because of California Constitutional limits on expenditures, the City is not permitted to appropriate and spend all of its available revenues or is required to expend available revenues to preserve the public health, safety and welfare. See “STATE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON CITY REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS.” No Limitation on Incurring Additional Obligations The City has the capacity to enter into other obligations payable from the City’s General Fund without the consent of or prior notice to the Owners of the Series 2022A Bonds and has expressly reserved the right to issue or incur other obligations for any of its corporate purposes. To the extent that additional obligations are incurred by the City, the funds available to make payments of the principal of, and interest on, the Series 2022A Bonds may be decreased. In the event the City’s revenue sources are less than its total obligations, the City could choose to fund other activities before making payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Series 2022A Bonds. The same result could occur if State constitutional expenditure limitations were to prohibit the City from appropriating and spending all of its otherwise available revenues. Limitation on Remedies; Bankruptcy The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Holders of the Series 2022A Bonds are subject to several limitations, including bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency or other laws affecting creditor’s rights or remedies and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in equity or at law), to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and to the limitations on legal remedies against governmental entities in the State. In addition, the rights and remedies of the Owners may be limited by and are subject to the provisions of federal bankruptcy laws and to other laws or equitable principles that may affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights. The City is a governmental unit and therefore cannot be the subject of an involuntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). However, the City is a municipality and therefore may seek voluntary protection from its creditors pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of adjusting its debts. If the City is in bankruptcy, the parties (including the Trustee and the Owners) may be prohibited from taking any action to collect any amount from the City or to enforce any obligation of the City, unless the permission of the bankruptcy court is obtained. These restrictions may also prevent the Trustee from making payments to the holders of the Series 2022A Bonds from funds in the Trustee’s possession. The City may be able, without the consent and over the objection of the Trustee or the Owners, to alter the priority, interest rate, payment terms, maturity dates, payment sources, covenants, and other terms or provisions of the Indenture and the Series 2022A Bonds, if the bankruptcy court determines that the alterations are fair and equitable. There may be delays in payments on the Series 2022A Bonds while the court considers any of these issues. There may be other possible effects of a bankruptcy of the City that could result in delays or reductions in payments on the Series 2022A Bonds or result in losses to the Owners. Regardless of any specific adverse determinations in a City bankruptcy proceeding, the fact of a City bankruptcy proceeding could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and value of the Series 2022A Bonds.

-66-
The opinion to be delivered by Bond Counsel concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Series 2022A Bonds will be subject to various limitations on remedies including those related to bankruptcy and the various other legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the issuance of the Series 2022A Bonds will be similarly qualified. See APPENDIX D—FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL. If the City fails to comply with its covenants under the Lease Agreement or fails to pay Base Rental Payments, there can be no assurance of the availability of remedies adequate to protect the interest of the Beneficial Owners of the Series 2022A Bonds. Cash Management The City has numerous internal or external means to manage its cash flow, including but not limited to interfund borrowing, intrafund borrowing and tax and revenue anticipation notes which may be employed to the extent the City Council is required to make budget adjustments to maintain a balanced budget. If the City does not take required actions and the budget remains out of balance, the cash requirements of the City may exceed available cash flow. The ability of the City to borrow on an interim basis to meet any cash shortfalls also may be limited if the budget remains out of balance for a sustained period. The City has the legal authority to issue “warrants” in place of cash to meet various types of expenditures or appropriations as an additional means to manage its cash flow. See “CITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION.” COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected travel, commerce, investment values, and financial markets globally, and is widely expected to continue to affect economic output worldwide and within the City, the County, and the State. While federal and state governments (including California) have enacted legislation and taken executive actions seeking to mitigate the negative public health and economic impacts of the Pandemic, no assurances can be given that these interventions will have the intended effects, or that these interventions will continue in the future. The economic impacts on the City resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic are discussed under “CITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION.” The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the City’s operations and finances is unknown. The City has developed what it believes to be reasonable budgeted projections of the magnitude of these impacts on its revenues and on its expenditures, but the COVID-19 Pandemic is ongoing, and the City cannot predict how and when it will be resolved. Additional information about the State’s and the County’s current status can be found at the State’s website, www.covid19.ca.gov and at the County’s website www.publichealth.lacounty.gov for up-to-date information regarding COVID-19 restrictions in place in the State and in the County. Reference to the State’s and the County’s website is included in this Official Statement for general information only and information on such website is not included in this Official Statement by reference to such website. Concentration of Revenue Sources The City relies on, among other things, a 0.75% voter-approved sales tax known as Measure H. Together with the City’s portion of the State Sales Tax, the City’s combined General Fund sales tax revenues have represented approximately 37% of the City’s total General Fund revenues in recent years. An economic downturn or other reduction in commercial activity within the City resulting in lower sales tax collections could materially and adversely impact the City’s revenues and its ability to make principal payments on the Series 2022A Bonds when due. For additional discussion of sales and use taxes and of

-67-
Measure H, see “CITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION –Primary Sources of General Fund Revenues and –Sales and Use Taxes.” Impact of Enterprise Operations on the City’s General Fund In prior years, City has made transfers from its General Fund to cover operating losses in the Golf Course Fund. The City cannot project whether the revenues in the Golf Course Fund will exceed expenditures for current and future years. If and to the extent such Golf Course Fund revenues do not exceed Golf Course Fund expenditures, additional transfers out from the City’s General Fund may be required. The City’s General Fund faces risks of unbudgeted expenditures if it becomes obligated to make debt service payments with respect to the HGI Bonds or the H2S Bonds or with respect to the Topgolf bonds if they are issued. The City does not anticipate needing to make transfers from its General Fund to pay debt service on the HGI Bonds or the H2S Bonds but changing economic circumstances could make such transfers necessary in the future if the net revenues from the Hilton Garden Inn are insufficient to pay debt service on the HGI Bonds or the net revenues from the Home2Suites are insufficient to pay debt service on the H2S Bonds. See “CITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION— Impact of Enterprise Operations on the City’s General Fund.” Natural Disasters General. From time to time, the City has been and could be subject to natural calamities, including, but not limited to, earthquake, flood or wildfire, that may adversely affect economic activity in the City, and which could have a negative impact on City finances. There can be no assurance that the occurrence of any natural calamity would not cause substantial damage to persons, property and structures in the City and could have a substantial negative effect on the City’s General Fund. Whitter Narrows Dam. The Army Corps of Engineers is beginning a $500-million repair project for the 62-year-old Whittier Narrows Dam (the “Dam”). The Dam, a 56-foot-tall earth dam, is located along the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel Rivers and collects runoff from the uncontrolled drainage areas upstream along with releases into the San Gabriel River from the Santa Fe Dam. The reservoir portion of the Dam, with a capacity of 67,060 acre-feet, is surrounded by the cities of South El Monte (to the north), Industry (to the east), Pico Rivera (to the south), and Montebello (to the south). The Army Corps of Engineers has determined that the Dam no longer meets federal tolerable-risk guidelines and could fail in the event of a very large, very rare storm, like storms which occurred in California between December 1861 and January 1862. If such a storm were to occur, water could flow over the crest of the Dam or seepage could erode the sandy soil underneath it. These types of failures could have catastrophic effects on several Southern California communities including the City. In response to these potential dangers, the Army Corps of Engineers has classified the Dam’s repairs as the highest priority of any of the 13 “high risk” dams in the country. The construction of the repairs to the Dam started in 2021 and the repairs are expected to be completed in 2025. An extreme storm that results in a flood could significantly damage property within the City. The City cannot predict when flood or extreme storm events will occur, when or whether the repairs described above will be completed, whether other mitigation measures will be implemented, or whether FEMA or

-68-
other funds will be available to the City in the event of a failure of the Dam. Significant flooding in the City because of the failure of the Dam could have materially adverse consequences for the City’s finances and operations, including the ability to make the payments due on the Series 2022A Bonds. Drought. The State is currently experiencing drought conditions. The Governor of the State has issued targeted emergency drought proclamations to nearly all counties across the State, including the County. The emergency drought proclamations allow for the set-aside of certain state regulatory requirements until the subsistence of drought conditions. The City and the County are presently experiencing drought conditions and are likely to continue to be affected by drought conditions in the future. Earthquake Risk. Any natural disaster or other physical calamity, including earthquake, may have the effect of damaging property in the City. The seismic safety element of the City’s General Plan lists ground shaking as the primary seismic risk to the City from a major earthquake along three faults located between 6 and 14 miles away from the City. A great earthquake along the San Andreas Fault, 33 miles from the City, would result in strong ground shaking. Risks of ground failure (such as liquefaction, landslides and rockfalls) are considered limited in the City. Ground displacement is not considered a significant risk because no active or potentially active faults are known to be present within the limits of the City. Climate Change/Adaptation/Mitigation Generally. Projections of the impacts of global climate change on the City are complex and depend on many factors that are outside the City’s control. The various scientific studies that forecast the amount and timing of adverse impacts of climate change are based on assumptions contained in such studies, but actual events may vary materially. Also, the understanding of climate change and its effects continues to evolve. Accordingly, the City is unable to forecast with certainty when and where the adverse impacts of climate change will occur or the extent of such impacts. While the impacts of climate change may be mitigated by the City’s future investment in adaptation strategies, the City can give no assurance about the net effects of those strategies and whether the City will be required to take additional adaptive mitigation measures. Endangered Species During recent years, there has been an increase in activity at both the State and federal level related to the potential classification of certain plant and animal species found in California as endangered species. An increase in the number of endangered species is expected to curtail development in certain areas of the State. At present, the City is not known to be inhabited by any plant or animal species currently classified as threatened or endangered under either the State or federal endangered species acts or which either the California Fish and Game Commission or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed for addition to these respective threatened or endangered species lists. Notwithstanding this fact, new species are periodically proposed to be added to the State and federal protected lists on a regular basis. Hazardous Substances One of the most serious risks in terms of the potential reduction in the value or use of a parcel of property is a claim about a hazardous substance. In general, the owners, lessors and/or lessees of a parcel of real property may be required by law to remedy conditions of the parcel relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund Act,” is the most well-known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws about hazardous substances are also stringent and similar in application. Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether the owner (or operator) has contributed to or caused

-69-
contamination with the hazardous substances. The effect, therefore, should property in the City be affected by a hazardous substance, is to reduce both marketability and the value of property by the costs of remedying the condition. While the City is not currently aware of any such condition, it is possible that such hazardous substance conditions do currently exist, and that the City has not been made aware of their existence. Potential Impact of State Financial Condition on the City During the 2008-09 recession, the State faced a structural deficit that resulted in substantial annual deficits and reductions in expenditures. Although the State has had a budget surplus in the more recent fiscal years, according to the State there remain several major risks and pressures that threaten the State’s financial condition, including the threat of recession, potential changes to federal fiscal policies and unfunded long-term liabilities of more than $200 billion related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits. These risks and financial pressures could result in future reductions or deferrals in amounts payable to the City. The State’s financial condition and budget policies affect local public agencies throughout California. To the extent that the State budget process results in reduced revenues to the City, the City will be required to adjust its budget. State budget policies can also impact conditions in the local economy and could have an adverse effect on the local economy and the City’s major revenue sources. No prediction can be made by the City as to whether the State will encounter budgetary problems in future fiscal years, and if it were to do so, it is not clear what measures would be taken by the State to balance its budget, as required by law. In addition, the City cannot predict the outcome of future State budget negotiations, the impact that such budgets will have on City finances and operations or what actions will be taken in the future by the Legislature and the Governor to deal with changing State revenues and expenditures. There can be no assurance that actions taken by the State to address its financial condition will not materially adversely affect the financial condition of the City. Current and future State budgets will be affected by national and State economic conditions and other factors over which the City has no control (see “STATE BUDGET INFORMATION”). The ability of the State to divert funds from the City has been limited by Proposition 1A and Proposition 22, which are discussed herein. See “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES, REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS.” Pension Benefit Liability Many factors influence the amount of the City’s pension benefit liabilities, including, without limitation, inflationary factors, changes in statutory provisions of CalPERS retirement system laws, changes in the level of benefits provided or in the contribution rates of the City, increases or decreases in the number of covered employees, changes in actuarial assumptions or methods (including but not limited to the assumed rate of return), mortality rates, and differences between actual and anticipated investment experience of CalPERS. Any of these factors could give rise to additional liability of the City to its pension plans because of which the City would be obligated to make additional payments to its pension plans to fully fund the City’s obligations to its pension plans. The City has issued Pension Obligations Bonds in May 2020 secured by revenue from the City’s Retirement Tax, a 1946 voter approved property tax override assessment. The City’s General Fund is responsible for any amounts due on the City’s Pension Obligation Bonds and any future liability to CalPERS not otherwise satisfied by the Retirement Tax. Additionally, any current and future retirement related expenses above and beyond the amount of available Retirement Tax will be borne directly by the City’s General Fund. For additional discussion, see “OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION – Employee Retirement Plans.”

-70-
Risks Related to Cyber Security The City relies on computers and technology to conduct its operations. The City and its departments face cyber threats from time to time including, but not limited to, hacking, viruses, malware and other forms of technology attacks. The City owns and operates its own enterprise class data network serving the municipal city government and its operations. The City has retained information technology professionals to support, maintain and protect these operations locally in a purpose-built and physically secure environment. This network and its operations are governed by and in compliance with all applicable governmental regulations as well as the City’s own administrative regulations. Within the City’s operations and guidance is an active cyber-security program designed to protect from, and to quickly identify and mitigate, a multitude of complex security threats. While no network is completely immune from all possible compromise, the City exercises its due diligence in protecting the data it possesses and the systems it operates. To date, there have been no significant cyber-attacks on the City’s computers and technologies. While the City is routinely maintaining its technology systems and continuously implementing new information security controls, no assurances can be given that the City’s security and operational control measures will be successful in guarding against all cyber threats and attacks. The results of any attack on the City’s computer and technology could negatively impact the City’s operations, and the costs related to such attacks could be substantial. Secondary Market Risk There can be no assurance that there will be a secondary market for purchase or sale of the Series 2022A Bonds, and from time to time there may be no market for them, depending upon prevailing market conditions, the financial condition or market position of firms who may make the secondary market and the financial condition of the City. Changes in Law There can be no assurance that the electorate of the State will not at some future time adopt additional initiatives or that the Legislature will not enact legislation that will amend the laws or the Constitution of the State resulting in a reduction of the General Fund revenues of the City and consequently, having an adverse effect on the security for the Series 2022A Bonds. Risks Relating to the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy In the event of default of the payment of principal and interest with respect to the Series 2022A Bonds when all or some becomes due, any owner of the Series 2022A Bonds shall have a claim under the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy for such payments. The Municipal Bond Insurance Policy does not insure against redemption premium, if any. The payment of principal and interest in connection with mandatory sinking fund or optional redemption of the Series 2022A Bonds by the City which is recovered by the City from the Owner as a voidable preference under applicable bankruptcy law is covered by the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, however, such payments will be made by the Municipal Bond Insurer at such time and in such amounts as would have been due absence such prepayment by the City unless the Municipal Bond Insurer chooses to pay such amounts at an earlier date. The Municipal Bond Insurer may direct and must consent to any remedies and the Municipal Bond Insurer’s consent may be required in connection with amendments to any applicable legal documents.

-71-
In the event the Municipal Bond Insurer is unable to make payment of principal and interest as such payments become due under the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, the Series 2022A Bonds are payable solely from the moneys received pursuant to the applicable legal documents. In the event the Municipal Bond Insurer becomes obligated to make payments with respect to the Series 2022A Bonds, no assurance is given that such event will not adversely affect the market price of the Series 2022A Bonds or the marketability (liquidity) for the Series 2022A Bonds. The long-term ratings on the Series 2022A Bonds are dependent in part on the financial strength of the Municipal Bond Insurer and its claim paying ability. The financial strength and claims paying ability of the Municipal Bond Insurer are predicated upon several factors which could change over time. No assurance is given that the long-term ratings of the Municipal Bond Insurer and of the ratings on the Series 2022A Bonds will not be subject to downgrade and such event could adversely affect the market price of the Series 2022A Bonds or the marketability (liquidity) for the Series 2022A Bonds. See “RATINGS.” The obligations of the Municipal Bond Insurer are general obligations of the Municipal Bond Insurer and in an event of default by the Municipal Bond Insurer, the remedies available may be limited by applicable bankruptcy law or other similar laws related to insolvency. Neither the City nor the Underwriter has made independent investigation into the claims paying ability of the Municipal Bond Insurer and no assurance or representation regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of the Municipal Bond Insurer is given. Thus, when making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully consider the ability of the City to make the Lease Payments and the claims paying ability of the Municipal Bond Insurer, particularly over the life of the investment. TAX MATTERS In the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals; however, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, with respect to applicable corporations as defined in Section 59(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Series 2022A Bonds might be taken into account in determining adjusted financial statement income for the purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax. The difference between the issue price of a Series 2022A Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the Series 2022A Bonds of a maturity is to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to the Series 2022A Bond constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to the Beneficial Owner of the Series 2022A Bond before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by the Beneficial Owner of a Series 2022A Bond will increase the Beneficial Owner’s basis in the applicable Series 2022A Bond. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the

-72-
amount of original issue discount that accrues to the Beneficial Owner of a Series 2022A Bond is excluded from the gross income of such Beneficial Owner for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the amount of original issue discount that accrues to the Beneficial Owner of a Series 2022A Bond is exempt from State of California personal income tax. Bond Counsel’s opinion as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds is based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the Authority, the City and others and is subject to the condition that the Authority and the City comply with all requirements of the Code, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2022A Bonds to assure that interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause the interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2022A Bonds. The Authority and the City will covenant to comply with all such requirements. The amount by which a Beneficial Owner’s original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable Series 2022A Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable bond premium reduces the Beneficial Owner’s basis in the applicable Series 2022A Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of bond premium may result in a Beneficial Owner realizing a taxable gain when a Series 2022A Bond is sold by the Beneficial Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the Series 2022A Bond to the Beneficial Owner. Purchasers of the Series 2022A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable bond premium. Bond Counsel’s opinions may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Indenture, the Lease Agreement and the Tax Certificate relating to the Series 2022A Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of a bond counsel is provided with respect thereto. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (or original issue discount) on any Series 2022A Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based upon the advice of counsel other than Bond Counsel. Although Bond Counsel will render an opinion that interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes provided that the Authority and the City continue to comply with certain requirements of the Code, the ownership of the Series 2022A Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Series 2022A Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences. Accordingly, before purchasing any of the Series 2022A Bonds, all potential purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences relating to the Series 2022A Bonds. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax-exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the Series 2022A Bonds will be selected for audit by the IRS. It is also possible that the market value of the Series 2022A

-73-
Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the Series 2022A Bonds (or by an audit of similar bonds). No assurance can be given that in the course of an audit, as a result of an audit, or otherwise, Congress or the IRS might not change the Code (or interpretation thereof) subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2022A Bonds to the extent that it adversely affects the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) on the Series 2022A Bonds or their market value. SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES 2022A BONDS THERE MIGHT BE FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL STATUTORY CHANGES (OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES TO OR INTERPRETATIONS OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW) THAT AFFECT THE FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX TREATMENT OF THE SERIES 2022A BONDS INCLUDING THE IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME OR STATE TAXES BEING IMPOSED ON OWNERS OF TAX-EXEMPT STATE OR LOCAL OBLIGATIONS, SUCH AS THE SERIES 2022A BONDS. THESE CHANGES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OR LIQUIDITY OF THE SERIES 2022A BONDS. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES 2022A BONDS STATUTORY CHANGES WILL NOT BE INTRODUCED OR ENACTED OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY INTERPRETATIONS WILL NOT OCCUR HAVING THE EFFECTS DESCRIBED ABOVE. BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF THE SERIES 2022A BONDS, ALL POTENTIAL PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING POSSIBLE STATUTORY CHANGES OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES OR INTERPRETATIONS, AND THEIR COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE SERIES 2022A BONDS.

UNDERWRITING The Series 2022A Bonds are being purchased by Cabrera Capital Markets, LLC (the “Underwriter”). The Underwriter will purchase the Series 2022A Bonds from the Authority at an aggregate purchase price of $__________ (representing the principal amount of the Series 2022A Bonds, plus an original issue premium of $_________ and less an Underwriter’s discount of $__________). The purchase agreement relating to the Series 2022A Bonds provides that the Underwriter will purchase all of the Series 2022A Bonds if any are purchased. The obligation to make such purchase is subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in such purchase agreement, the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions.

The Underwriter may offer and sell the Series 2022A Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Series 2022A Bonds into investment trusts), dealer banks, banks acting as agent and others at prices lower than said public offering prices. RATINGS S&P is expected to assign a rating of “AA” to the Series 2022A Bonds based upon the delivery of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy by the Municipal Bond Insurer at the time of issuance of the Series 2022A Bonds. S&P has assigned the Series 2022A Bonds the rating of “A” without regard to the delivery of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy. Such ratings reflect only the views of S&P and any desired explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from S&P. Generally, a rating agency bases its ratings on the information and materials furnished to it and on investigations, studies and assumptions of its own. There is no assurance such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that such rating will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency, if in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2022A Bonds. None of the Authority, the City or the Underwriter has undertaken any responsibility to bring to the attention of the owners of the Series 2022A Bonds a proposed change in or withdrawal of the ratings or to oppose any such proposed revision or withdrawal. MUNICIPAL ADVISOR Urban Futures, Inc., Tustin, California (the “Municipal Advisor”), served as municipal advisor to the Authority and the City with respect to the sale of the Series 2022A Bonds.

APPENDIX A GENERAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION RELATING TO THE CITY AND THE COUNTY The following information concerning the City of Montebello and Los Angeles County is included only for the purpose of supplying general information regarding the City and the County. The Series 2022A Bonds are not a debt of the County, the State or any of its political subdivisions, and none of the County, the State nor any of their political subdivisions, except for the City, are liable therefor. Although reasonable efforts have been made to include up-to-date information in this Appendix A, some of the information is not current due to delays in reporting of information by various sources. It should not be assumed that the trends indicated by the following data would continue beyond the specific periods reflected herein. Introduction The City of Montebello (the “City”) is situated in eastern Los Angeles County, California (the “County”). The City encompasses 8.2 square miles and is located 9 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The City has access to three freeways: the San Gabriel River Freeway (State Highway 605) to the east, the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) to the south and the Pomona Freeway (State Highway 60) to the north. The City is a balanced community with light industry, residential areas, and commercial centers. It is bordered to the north by the cities of Los Angeles Park and Rosemead, to the east by the City of Pico Rivera, and to the west by the City of Commerce. Other surrounding cities include the cities of Bell Gardens, Whittier, South El Monte and Los Angeles. The City was incorporated as a general law city in 1920. The City operates under the Council-Manager member form of government. The five City Council members, including the Mayor, are elected to four-year terms on alternate slates every two years. The Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tem are selected by the City Council to serve two-year terms. The City Council appoints a City Manager. The population of the City was estimated to be 64,247 as of January 1, 2019. The County is in the Southern region of the State of California (the “State”). The County boarders 70 miles of coast on the Pacific Ocean and encompasses mountain ranges, valleys, forests, islands, lakes, rivers and desert. It is one of California’s original 27 counties and was established on February 18, 1850. It is one of the nation’s largest counties with 4,084 square miles and has the largest population of any county in the nation - nearly 10 million residents who account more than one quarter of California’s population. As a subdivision of the state, the County is charged with providing numerous services that affect the lives of all residents, including law enforcement, tax collection, public health protection, public social services, elections and flood control. The County is home to 88 incorporated cities and many unincorporated areas. In between the large desert portions of the County ― which make up around 40% of its land area ― and the heavily urbanized central and southern portions, sit the San Gabriel Mountains, containing the Angeles National Forest. The County is a charter county governed by a five-member elected Board of Supervisors. Each member serves alternating four-year terms and is elected by residents from their respective supervisorial districts to serve four-year terms. The other elected officials of the County are the Assessor, District Attorney and Sheriff. The County is the third-largest metropolitan economy in the world, with a Nominal GDP of over $700 billion—larger than the GDPs of Belgium, Norway, and Taiwan. The County serves as the central trade district for the western United States and the gateway to the Asian economies. The County is one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the U.S. The county seat, the City of Los Angeles, is also California’s most populous city and the nation’s second largest city with about 4 million people.

Household Effective Buying Income “Effective Buying Income” is defined as personal income less personal tax and nontax payments, a number often referred to as “disposable” or “after-tax” income. Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor-related income (such as employer contributions to private pension funds), proprietor’s income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of owner-occupants of non-farm dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, interest income from all sources, and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance). Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, State and local), nontax payments (fines, fees, penalties, etc.) and personal

contributions to social insurance. According to U.S. government definitions, the resultant figure is commonly known as “disposable personal income.” The following table summarizes the median household effective buying income for the City, the County, the State and the nation for the past five years.

APPENDIX D PROPOSED FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION [Closing Date] Montebello Public Financing Authority Montebello, California Re: $__________* Montebello Public Financing Authority Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as bond counsel to the Montebello Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) in connection with the issuance by the Authority of $______* Montebello Public Financing Authority Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A (the “Bonds”), pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 (commencing with Section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California Government Code (the “Bond Law”), and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 1, 2014, as supplemented, as further supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Indenture”), by and among the Authority, the City of Montebello (the “City”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee. The Bonds will be principally secured by lease payments to be made by the City pursuant to a Lease Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2014, as amended, as further amended by a Third Amendment to Lease Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Lease”), by and between the Authority and the City. We have examined the law and such certified proceedings and other documents, agreements, opinions and matters as we deem necessary to render this opinion. This opinion is based on current statutory and constitutional law and published court decisions as of the date hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon representations of the Authority contained in the Indenture and in the certified proceedings and certifications of public officials and others furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented to us, the authenticity of documents submitted as originals and the conformity to originals of documents submitted as copies. We have not undertaken to verify independently, and have assumed, the accuracy of the factual matters represented, warranted or certified in the documents, and of the legal conclusions contained in the opinions referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this opinion. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture, the Lease and the Site and Facility Lease. We call attention to the fact that the rights and obligations under the Bonds, the Indenture, the Lease, the Site and Facility Lease, the Assignment Agreement and the Tax Certificate may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and by the limitations on legal remedies against cities and public agencies in the State of California. Based upon the foregoing we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows: 1. The Authority is a joint exercise of powers authority duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of California with the full power to enter into the Indenture and the Lease, to perform the agreements on its part contained therein and to issue the Bonds. * Preliminary, subject to change.

D-2

2. The Indenture and the Lease have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Authority and the Indenture and the Lease constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Authority enforceable against the Authority in accordance with their respective terms. The Indenture creates a valid pledge of the Base Rental Payments and other moneys pledged under the Indenture, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. 3. The Indenture and the Lease have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and the Indenture and the Lease constitute the valid and binding obligations of the City enforceable against the City in accordance with their respective terms. 4. The Bonds have been duly and validly authorized by the Authority and are legal, valid and binding limited obligations of the Authority, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture. The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from the Base Rental Payments and other moneys pledged under the Indenture as provided in the Indenture, but are not a debt of the City, the State of California or any other political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation, and, neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City, the State of California, or any of its political subdivisions is pledged for the payment thereof. The Authority has no taxing power. 5. Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals; however, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, with respect to applicable corporations as defined in Section 59(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Bonds might be taken into account in determining adjusted financial statement income for the purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. 6. Interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes imposed in the State of California. 7. The difference between the issue price of a Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of a maturity is to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to such Bond constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a Bond Owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by a Bond Owner will increase the Bond Owner’s basis in the applicable Bond. Original issue discount that accrues to the Bond Owner is excluded from the gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes, is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals (as described in paragraph 5 above) and is exempt from State of California personal income tax. 8. The amount by which a Bond Owner’s original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable Bond (generally the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable Bond premium which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable Bond premium reduces the Bond Owner’s basis in the applicable Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of Bond premium may result in a Bond Owner realizing a taxable gain when a Bond is sold by the Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the Bond to the Owner. The opinions expressed in paragraphs (5) and (7) above as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds are subject to the condition that the Authority and the City comply with all requirements of the Code, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to assure that such interest (and original issue discount) will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Authority and the City have covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Except as

D-3

APPENDIX F BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry only system has been obtained from sources that the Authority believes to be reliable, but the Authority takes no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2022A Bonds, payment of principal, premium, if any, accreted value and interest on the Series 2022A Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2022A Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC. 1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Series 2022A Bonds (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully registered Security certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Securities in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue. 2. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has an S&P Global Ratings highest rating: “AA+.” The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. The information set forth on such website is not incorporated herein by reference. 3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued. 4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an

F-2
authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. 5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. 6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. 7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Authority as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). 8. Principal, redemption price and interest payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Authority or the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the Authority, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, redemption price and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Authority or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. 9. If applicable, a Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to tender/remarketing agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to tender/remarketing agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to tender/remarketing agent’s DTC account. 10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Authority or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. 11. The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Joseph Palombi, Director of Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 22-76 - DECLARATION OF EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5055

PASSONS BOULEVARD (LOS ANGELES COUNTY ASSESSOR'S
PARCEL NO. 6377-007-270)
DATE: September 14, 2022
RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 22-76 (Attachment A) to formally declare the property located at 5055 Passons Boulevard as exempt surplus land; and
2) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This particular action does not have a fiscal impact. However, the land does have value and subsequent discussions with the City of Pico Rivera will be held regarding the potential disposition of this surplus, city-owned property.

BACKGROUND:

The subject site is comprised of a total lot area of approximately 19,611 square feet and was developed in 1963 with an existing 1,186 square foot building. The site is utilized as a layover/terminal point or stop for certain bus routes operated by the Montebello Bus Lines. Additionally, Los Angeles Metro route 265 utilizes the location as a layover.

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), this project is exempt from CEQA under the common sense rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (14 CCR § 15061). Because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the declaration of exempt surplus land (the "Project") will have a significant effect on the environment, the Project is not subject to CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

ANALYSIS:

The California Surplus Land Act (Government Code section 54220, et seq.), or “the SLA”, governs the sale, lease or other transfer of government-owned surplus lands and requires local agencies to prioritize opportunities for certain uses, including affordable housing development, for any land the entity may sell or lease. Effective January 1, 2020, Assembly Bill ("AB") No. 1486 and AB No. 1255 amended the SLA to require local agencies to formally declare publicly owned property which is not necessary for the local agency’s use as surplus land prior to disposition. The property may be declared either “surplus” or “exempt surplus” by the legislative body of the local agency, in a regular public meeting, as supported by written findings.

Under the SLA, surplus land must follow a statutory noticing and negotiation period with certain designated entities, including eligible low-income housing sponsors defined by the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD"). However, certain exempt surplus land does not have to follow these procedural requirements of the SLA.

Exempt surplus land is defined to include surplus land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state or federal agency for the agency’s use (Gov. Code § 54221 (f)(1)(D). The City has no current plans to develop or make improvements on this property; the declaration as exempt surplus land and the adoption of the attached resolution will be the first step in allowing the disposition process to move forward in accordance with the SLA.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Pico Rivera has continued to express interest in purchasing the subject site as it meets its requirements for a proposed open space amenity. The City of Pico Rivera intends to develop the property as an open space for public use based on community- driven design concepts that improve equitable access to outdoor recreation opportunities for healthy living. The proposed Passons Active Depot (the "PAD") will include areas to walk and observe nature, outdoor exercise equipment or water fountains and restrooms.

The PAD will also act as a rest area or bicycle repair station for cyclists using the PAD from nearby trails, transit, and local businesses to encourage a sustainable regional transportation system environment and support healthy and equitable communities. The

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

City expects a growth in cyclists, park patrons, and local walkers in the vicinity of the PAD. Promoting alternative modes of transportation, the City also anticipates a less congested Passons Boulevard.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting the proposed Resolution to formally declare the subject property as exempt surplus land pursuant to Gov. Code § 54221(f)(1)(D) and authorize the City Manager or designee to take the necessary actions to comply with the Surplus Land Act (Gov. Code §§ 54220, et seq.).

WHEREAS, for land declared Surplus Land, the City must give notice to various public agencies and affordable housing developers of the land’s availability before the City may dispose of the land;
WHEREAS, the SLA provides exemptions from the application of the SLA and its procedural requirements surplus land that is declared “Exempt Surplus Land,” which includes local agency land that is transferred to another local, state, or federal agency for the transferee agency’s use; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to sell the Property to another local agency, the City of Pico Rivera, which intends to use the Property for a public purpose; and WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

RESOLUTION NO. 22-76

15060(c)(3) because the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 4. The City Manager or his or her designee is authorized to submit the report of declared surplus land and exempt surplus land, in conformance with state law, and the City Clerk shall file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.

SECTION 5. The City Manager or his or her designee is hereby authorized to take such actions that are reasonably necessary to comply with the SLA and effectuate the intent of this Resolution.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Joseph Palombi, Director of Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 22-77 APPROVING SIGN LEASE AGREEMENT NO. 4026 FOR THE PROPOSED DIGITAL SIGN FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 315 N. GARFIELD AVENUE AND

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE SIGN LEASE

AGREEMENT
DATE: September 14, 2022
RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Approve Sign Lease Agreement No. 4026 between The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Education and Welfare Corporation and Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School, and the City of Montebello for the property located at 315 N. Garfield Avenue; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Sign Lease Agreement for usage of a proposed digital sign at 315 N. Garfield Avenue; and
3) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Pursuant to the Sign Lease Agreement (“Lease”), the City of Montebello (as the “Lessee”) will pay The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Education and Welfare Corporation and Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School (collectively the “Lessor”) rent in the amount of one dollar ($1.00) per year for the right to use a digital sign for City announcements. This annual payment will commence on the date the sign becomes

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

operational and capable of displaying messages. All permitting and construction costs associated with the digital sign will be paid by the Lessor. Funding for the annual rent payment for usage of the digital sign totaling one dollar ($1.00) will be included in subsequent budgets.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Montebello has an opportunity to enter into the Lease with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Education and Welfare Corporation and Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School for the right to use a proposed digital sign (Attachment B) at the property located at 315 N. Garfield Avenue, Montebello, CA 90640, identified as Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel No. 6343-028-008 (the “Property”). The Property is owned by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Education and Welfare Corporation and located along a well-traveled corridor within the City. The City will periodically utilize the digital sign for City announcements, including emergency messaging, sponsored events, and advertising for events/programs (“City Ads”) that serve the needs of the City and its residents and businesses. Pursuant to the Lease, the City would be permitted to advertise up to 12 City events during the calendar year (January through December) with the ability to use up to five percent (5%) of the total advertising time for City Ads.

If the Lease is approved, the City’s ability to use the digital sign for future messaging would require the submittal of a proposed message copy including any graphics to Lessor not less than ten (10) business days prior to the date the message is proposed to be displayed. The City Ads must be in a format ready for posting on the sign in accordance with the Lease.

The Lease will enhance the City’s ability to provide information to the public as needed as well as provide a unique opportunity to utilize a key corridor for advertising City events, job recruitment efforts, etc. For example, the Lease will allow the City to use the digital sign to, among other things, advertise community meetings and events for citywide initiatives such as the General Plan Update. In addition, the sign could be used to advertise food distribution and public activities. The terms in this Lease are similar to terms included in other agreements between the City and other operators, with relatively no cost to the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The adoption of the proposed Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) states that a project is not subject to CEQA review where the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which states that a project is exempt from CEQA “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 City’s participation in the Lease for public messaging opportunities at the Property will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and there is no possibility that the Lease will have a significant effect on the environment

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

because the Property will continue to be used as a deemed approved educational institution with related amenities pursuant to Conditional Use Permit No. 13-62 (approved August 1962) and any future changes to the Property shall comply with CEQA at that time.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA STAFF REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2452 UPDATING MONTEBELLO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 2.16 –

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
DATE: September 14, 2022
RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Waive Second Reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2452 Amending Montebello Municipal Code Chapter 2.16.020 – Director of Finance, Powers and Duties; and 2) Take such additional, related action(s) that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to this action updating the City’s Municipal Code. The Department of Finance, through the City Manager provides regular budget, financial and treasury reports to the City Council and the public. The quantity and quality of these and other reports are sufficient to provide a clear and transparent picture of the City’s financial standing.

BACKGROUND:

N/A

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

N/A

ANALYSIS:

N/A

DISCUSSION:

The City’s Municipal Code contains a chapter which creates the office and describes the duties of the “Director of Finance.” As the head of the Finance Department, the Municipal Code (Chapter 2.16 et al) spells out various duties, responsibilities and reports which fall under the purview of the Director of Finance. (Chapter 2 of the Montebello Municipal Code , among other things, lays out the duties and responsibilities of the City Manager, City Council, code enforcement and various departments).

Recently, there have been changes and improvements to the language used to describe the duties of the Director of Finance, as evidenced by other municipalities’ similar code sections. Staff conducted research of more than a dozen other cities’ Director of Finance code sections. Large and small cities’ municipal codes were studied (e.g., Alhambra, Newport Beach, Irvine, Paramount, La Palma, etc.) to determine how this position was described and what specific tasks, duties and reports were assigned to it for each city.

Currently, Montebello’s Chapter 2.16 includes only a brief description of the types of reports to be prepared and submitted for City Manager and City Council review (Chapter

2.16.020(E)):

Submit to the city council through the city manager a monthly statement of all receipts and disbursements in sufficient detail to show the exact financial condition of the city; and, as of the end of each fiscal year, submit a complete financial statement and report;

The proposed ordinance amendment updates the types and scope of reports to better represent the actual reports currently being prepared for management and City Council review. Specifically, Chapter 2.16.020(E) would require monthly disbursement and payment reports (i.e., warrant register), monthly treasury reports, quarterly budget projections/reports, an annual financial statement (i.e., ACFR) that shows the exact financial condition at the close of the fiscal year, and other reports as requested by the City Manager (Attachment A).

Currently, the City Council receives a warrant register at each regular meeting (twice per month) which details disbursements/payments, and monthly and quarterly treasury reports as required by Government Code. In addition, quarterly budget reports are produced and presented at regular City Council meetings. Most importantly, the Finance Department produces an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) that fairly and accurately presents the City’s exact financial condition as of year-end (i.e., June 30). It

CITY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2022

should be noted that – due to the nature of municipal finances – the exact financial condition of a public agency can only be determined at the close of the fiscal year, when the financial statements are audited and an ACFR is produced within six months of fiscal year end.

This Municipal Code Amendment will help clarify the types of reports produced by the Director of Finance to better reflect current practice – both locally in Montebello and reflecting what other cities in Los Angeles and Orange County prepare and produce. This item was continued from the August 24, 2022 City Council meeting.

SUMMARY:

That the City Council adopt an Ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 2.16 – Director of Finance to update the duties, responsibilities and reports produced to reflect current practice and best practice as determined by research into other cities’ municipal codes.

Hello

I would like to ask during this public council meeting if the city would allow the edification of one or two digital billboard advertisements monuments next to the 5 freeway with one being inside the Rosewood park school lawn area at the very furthest corner.

We would like the revenue generated from this signage to benefit the Montebello school district.

We are a company seeking to start new development like this in the city.

Thank you

Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
To the Montebello Planning Commission, and the Montebello City Council, and all other concerned parties.

I Jorge Martinez, declare that I am a resident of Montebello, and that I am concerned for the future of the DePaul Evangelization Center, located at 1105 Bluff Road in Montebello. The property is bordered on the east by Bluff Road, on the north by Frankel Avenue, on the west by Carob Way, and on the south by Date Street.

1. I believe the DePaul Evangelization Center should be ma intained, and preserved as is, with little or no changes.

2. I am firmly against the DePaul Evangelization Center bei ng re-zoned for high-density housing, or any housing. I am against any apartments, condominiums, duplexes or other multi-unit complexes, or single family homes being constructed on the site. Such projects will result in much more traffic in the area. Parking in the surrounding area is already completely congested. If any new housing is constructed on the site, traffic will be much more congested, parking will be impossible, and thus, there will be more unforseen issues in our already compacted neighborhoods.

3. The site of the DePaul Evangelization Center is a very rare, and welcomed open space in our neighborhood, or in any neighborhood. Aside from being open space, it is a place of much-needed peace and quiet.

Subject: Re: speaker card
Hello my name is Brandon Takeyama, I’m a resident of Montebello. My question is why I have been ignored and pushed off since august 20,2020. This is in regards to several emails to Director Enriquez, Mayor Cobos, Sal Melendez & Rene Bobadilla for paving the streets of Vail st & Ferguson drive. Mr. Enriquez had stated in several emails that it would be included in Fiscal Year 2020/21 Capital Improvement Program budget. All 4 individuals have been numerously emailed regarding these streets. That is so wrong as an elected official and including a Mayor to disregard a resident. They need to be reminded that they work for the people.

They are Civil servants for the Community of Montebello. These streets have been neglected and are in need of paving. If it was included in the budget for 20/2021 what happened? Where did the money go for those improvements? A resident on Ferguson drive was added to the email and he was ignored as well from all 4 individuals. Why are these individuals ignoring the fact? Is it because it’s mid south Montebello and not North Montebello? Remember Montebello should be accounted as one whole city not segregated. I need answers and a timeline when these streets are going to be done.

Thank you
