RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the Downtown Ontario Improvement Association (“DOIA”) Annual Report for FY 21-22.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund and Ontario Housing Authority of $143,599 for the Downtown Ontario Improvement Association (DOIA) parcel assessments.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On August 20, 2019, the City Council approved the formation of the Downtown Ontario Community Benefit District ("CBD") for an initial five-year term. The objective of the CBD is to provide enhanced services and improvements benefiting downtown property owners by increasing economic activity and enhancing the value of commercial, retail, and residential property. As a key component of the overall downtown revitalization strategy, the implementation of the CBD has increased commerce, attracted new businesses, and is supporting the transformation of the Downtown into an 18- hour vibrant hub of retail and residential activity.
California Streets and Highway Code, Section 36650, the law governing CBD requirements and processes, requires that the DOIA prepare an Annual Report ("Annual Report") for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected for the purposes of paying for the cost of the improvements and activities described in the Annual Report. The Annual Report must be consistent with the components outlined in the District Management Plan.
Per the District Management Plan, each year the DOIA will establish a budget that focuses on three main components:
19 1
.
Civil Sidewalk Improvements;
2 .
Marketing/District Identity/Placemaking; and,
3 .
Administration.
The following items are highlights of the Annual Report:
The Assessment
: The CBD uses common parcel-based factors to assess special benefit in a commercial/retail/residential business district. These factors are parcel size, street frontage, and building size. Street frontage has been determined to provide approximately 36% of the total assessment, land area approximately 26% of the total assessment, and building area approximately 38% of the total assessment. Annual assessments on the property will be $ 0.06 (6 cents) per parcel square foot, $0.16 (16 cents) per building square foot, plus $ 6.00 per frontage foot. Residential condominiums are assessed at 0.25 (25 cents) per square foot.
The benefits provided to properties within the district are listed in the diagram below. These services are only applied to properties within the boundaries of the district.

ASSESSMENTS
The CBD (DOIA) uses common parcel -based factors to assess special benefit in a commercial/retail/residential business district, which are parcel size, street frontage, and building size. Street frontage has been determined to provide approximately 36% of the total assessment, land area approximately 26% of the total assessment, and building area approximately 38% of the total assessment. Annual assessments on property will be $0.06 (6 cents) per parcel square foot, $0.16 (16 cents) per building square foot, plus $6.00 per frontage foot. Residential condominiums are assessed $0.25 (25 cents) per square foot for residential condominiums.
The benefits provided to properties within the district are listed in the diagram below.
These services are only applied to properties within the boundaries of the district.
Category of Special Benefit Services Annual Amount 2021-2022 Percentage of total budget
Civil Sidewalks $ 323,522 60%
District Identity/Placemaking $ 88,157 13%
Administration $ 158,074 24%
Contingency $ 18,940 3%
Total $ 569,753.50 100%
Properties that are owned and operated as a non -profit, and are property tax exempt, are not assessed the full assessment because these parcels are deemed to benefit from most, but not all, of the proposed District improvements and services. As stated above, these properties receive benefits from, maintenance and streetscape, and administration, but do not receive any marketing.
Therefore, properties that are owned and operated as a non -profit, and are property tax exempt, and exclude the per building square foot assessment.
Due to the unforeseen circumstances that were brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in early 202 0 the DOIA board for directors implemented a hardship reimbursement policy. The policy allows for the p artial reimbursement for property owners that applied for the hardship reimbursement and have provided satisfactory evidence of an economic hardship due to the COVID -19 pandemic. The reimbursement was a partial reimbursement , and proof of full payment of property taxes was required. Therefore, properties that received a reimbursement , were only assessed $0.06 (6 cents) per parcel square foot, and $6.00 per frontage foot.
Based on the above factors, the resulting assessments are shown in the chart attached hereto as Appendix 1 . The CBD assessment is collected with regular property taxes . The assessment appeared as a separate line item on annual Property Tax bills prepared by the County of San Bernardino.

I
n 2017, the City acquired the real property located at 404-426 North Euclid Avenue with the intention of exploring the relocation of the Fiscal Services and Revenue Services Departments to the 400 block of North Euclid Avenue. After a programming and space planning exercise, it was determined that the site had numerous physical constraints, and would be a cost-prohibitive use of a City asset. Alternatively, it was recommended that the highest and best use of the site would be to redevelop the property into a modern-day urban mixed-use project.
Planning for such a project is currently underway, and there is an active Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with a developer who intends to construct a four-story, mixed use projects consisting of 108 residential units and 6,800 square feet of commercial space.
As a result, the Capital Improvement Projects Fund will repay the Water Fund the full purchase price of $3,210,364. Should the City determine to move forward with a sale of the property to a developer or other party, proceeds will be allocated to the General Fund. 35 Department: Engineering

CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council take the following actions: Reject Superior Paving, Inc.'s bid for the 2021 Spring Alley Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Pavement Rehabilitation Project as being non-responsive; Award a construction contract (on file in the Records Management Department) with Onyx Paving Company, Inc. of Anaheim, California, for the 2021 Spring Alley CDBG Pavement Rehabilitation Project in the bid amount of $545,000 plus a ten percent (10%) contingency of $54,500 for a total authorized expenditure of $599,500; and Authorize the City Manager to execute said contract and all related documents and file a notice of completion at the conclusion of all construction activities.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2021-22 Adopted Budget allocated funds for the 2021 Spring Alley CDBG Pavement Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $470,000 from CDBG funds. The total recommended expenditure authorization consists of $545,000, plus a 10% contingency of $54,500 for a total authorized expenditure of $599,500. The City Manager has authorized the allocation of an additional $129,500 towards the project from CDBG funds. This addition will be included in the next quarterly budget update.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The general scope of work to be performed consists of, but is not limited to, asphalt removal, placement of pavement, removal and replacement of PCC curb & gutter, ribbon gutter, drive approaches, detectable warning surface, replace irrigation in like and kind, and other appurtenances necessary to complete the project improvements. The project locations include rehabilitation of five residential alleys. Project location maps are provided for reference as Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "B." This project will extend the lifespan of the alleys by 15 to 20 years.
36 In November 2021, the City solicited bids for the project and six bids were received. The following is a summary of the bid results:

Superior Paving Company, Inc. bid was found to be non-responsive due to incomplete Federal forms. Based on Superior Paving Company, Inc.'s failure to adhere to the project specifications, and in consultation with the City Attorney's office, Staff recommends that the City Council reject the bid submitted by Superior Paving Company, Inc., and award a construction contract to Onyx Paving Company, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The environmental impacts of this project were reviewed and Staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act, whereas the project consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of lead agency’s determination. 37 38

STORMWATER PERMIT COMMON INTEREST, JOINT DEFENSE, AND
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
February 15, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Discharge Permit Common Interest, Joint Defense, and Confidentiality Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) between the County of San Bernardino, City of Ontario, and the co-permittee agencies.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The costs incurred under this Agreement will be paid through the San Bernardino County Stormwater Program budget. As a co-permittee of the MS4 permit, the City contributes its pro-rata share to the County Stormwater Program budget by paying the Annual Regional MS4 Permit fee. The Fiscal Year 2021-22 Adopted Operating Budget includes appropriations for the amount of $216,6111 in the Storm Drain Maintenance fund for the Annual Regional MS4 Permit Fee.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City of Ontario owns and operates stormwater and runoff conveyance systems commonly known as Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) or storm drains. Stormwater and runoff discharges from the San Bernardino County areas are regulated by the County MS4 Stormwater Discharge Permit, which is typically updated every 5 to 7 years. The current permit was issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board on January 29, 2010 and expired on January 29, 2015. However, it has been extended and remains in effect until a new permit is issued.
The County of San Bernardino, the City of Ontario, the County Flood Control District and fifteen other incorporated cities in the County are co-permittees of the MS4 Permit and have collectively 40 developed a program to cooperatively implement the requirements set forth in the permit. In anticipation of the issuance of a new permit in 2022, all co-permittees desire to coordinate with each other to reduce cost and to use a common legal counsel to review and address legal challenges associated with the new permit and to represent their interests more effectively.
This Agreement will allow the City to fully participate in and be privy to attorney-client communications related to the permit renewal matters. This agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and the City Engineer.

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
February 15, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council ("City") and the Board of the Ontario Housing Authority ("Authority"):
A
.
Adopt the Resolutions approving the First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement ("First Amendment to DDA") between the Authority and Ontario Emporia II Housing Partners, L.P. ("Developer") (on file with the Records Management Department); and B
.
Approve the First Amendment to City Grant Agreement ("First Amendment to Grant Agreement") between the City and the Authority, providing a grant in an amended amount not to exceed $10,000,000 (on file with the Records Management Department); and C
.
Authorize the City Manager/Executive Director or his designee to sign all documents necessary to implement the Agreements.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the First Amendment to DDA will increase the Authority's gap loan from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000, which would increase the City's total investment for the project to an estimated amount of $12,267,000. The amount of the loan to Developer will be finalized at the time of escrow closing and is dependent upon the land appraisal amount. The Authority's gap loan is a residual receipt note that will be paid back over a 65-year term. The loan will provide funds for the acquisition of land at a cost of $2,267,000 or appraised value, whichever is greater. The estimated appraised value at this time is approximately $2,700,000. The land purchase price will be 48 provided to the Developer in the form of a loan carryback. The land purchase principal will have an interest rate at the applicable federal rate that will be set at escrow closing. It is estimated that this interest rate will be approximately 3.25%. The remaining portion of the loan will not exceed $10,000,000 and will have a zero percent interest rate.
The City's Grant Agreement to the Authority, as amended by the First Amendment to the Grant Agreement will not exceed $10,000,000 and will be funded from the following sources:
California 2019 Budget Act Funds in the amount of $5,000,000; Affordability In-Lieu Fees in the amount of $3,119,990; and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds (SB2 Funds) in the amount of $1,880,010.
The increased funding of $2,000,000, that is included in the not to exceed $10,000,000 proposed as part of the First Amendment to DDA will be funded from two sources: $856,005 from the Affordability In-Lieu Fees and $1,143,995 from PLHA. The PLHA funds will be available upon execution of the FY 2020-21 PLHA Grant Agreement with the State of California. If the Developer is unable to secure tax credit funding or if the site remediation activities exceed $400,000, which are required for the development to proceed, the Authority will purchase from the Developer all of Developer's rights, title, and interest in and to the predevelopment documents at a cost of $400,000. Appropriations will be included in the next quarterly report.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On April 20, 2021, the City Council and Authority Board approved the Emporia Phase II Multifamily Development ("Development") Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA") and the City Grant Agreement for the development of a 50-unit affordable housing development in the area of Emporia Street and Palm Avenue. The area, site plan, and elevations are shown in Exhibit A.
Listed below is a brief summary of the proposed Amendments:
The First Amendment to DDA will increase the OHA loan fixed sum portion by $2,000,000 which increases the proposed loan amount to Developer to an amount equal to the sum of the Purchase Price for the property plus the fixed sum amount of $10,000,000.
The First Amendment to Grant Agreement will increase the grant to include the total amount of Local In-Lieu Fees of $3,119,990, which includes the original authorization of $2,263,985 and the additional allocation of $856,005, PLHA funds of $1,880,010, which includes the original authorization of $736,015 and the additional allocation of $1,143,995, and the original authorization of $5,000,000 from California 2019 Budget Act Funds.
Financing of the Development is expected to utilize the Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") program, as a primary source of project funding. The Developer submitted an application for federal income tax credits on June 25, 2021 (2021 Second Round Application) as part of a complex competitive process. The Developer was unsuccessful in securing an award due to the highly competitive Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) region that includes the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial. With the increased financial subsidy from the Authority proposed within the First Amendment to DDA, the tie-breaker score will rise to be a more 49 competitive score within our region.
If the City Council and Authority Board approve the First Amendment to DDA and the First Amendment to Grant Agreement, the Developer will submit a new LIHTC application to TCAC prior to the March 1 deadline for 2022 Round 1 applications. TCAC is expected to announce the winners of the Round 1 applicants in June 2022. If the Development is successful in getting tax credits in June 2022, the Developer must start construction by December 2022. The original DDA allowed the Developer up to four times to submit an application for tax credit funding to finance this project.
The application that will be submitted on or before March 1, 2022, will be the second application submitted by the Developer.

DECLARE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.

SECTION 3. CEQA. The Authority has determined that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that approval of the actions authorized under this Resolution will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Thus, the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 4. Notice of Exemption. The Executive Director, or his designee, is hereby directed to file a Notice of Exemption for the Project under CEQA. 57 SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Resolution that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are severable. The Authority declares that the Authority would have adopted this Resolution irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion of this Resolution.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.
The Secretary of the Ontario Housing Authority shall certify as to the adoption of this Resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The adoption of the proposed Resolution will allow the City to apply and receive grant funding from CalRecycle payment programs and competitive grants.

The City receives approximately $20,000 from the Used Oil Recycling and $45,000 from Beverage Container Recycling payment programs annually.
In January 2022, CalRecycle released a new Resolution for combined grant and payment programs.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq., 14581, and 42023.1(g), a Resolution will satisfy CalRecycle’s requirements for the City to submit applications to CalRecycle for any and all grant and payment programs offered over the next five years from the adoption of the Resolution. 75 RESOLUTION NO. ________
