SUBJECT: A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 16, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a lease agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) between California State University San Bernardino, Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Center, and the City of Ontario for the use of the City-owned property located at 603 North Euclid Avenue for a one-year term with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. The lease rate for the property is proposed at $1.00 per month, and in return, the City will gain the monetized value of the business assistance services provided to the community by the Small Business Development Center.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In 2012, California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB), in partnership with the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship (IECE), was awarded a grant to operate a Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in the Inland Empire. Downtown Ontario was identified as a prime location for a new SBDC to provide business assistance services. On April 3, 2012 the City Council approved the original lease agreement. The lease was then renewed on October 20, 2015 and July 3, 2018 with CSUSB and IECE, to operate an SBDC office in the City-owned property located at 603 North Euclid Avenue.
SBDC provides services through professional business advisors such as: development of business plans; manufacturing assistance; financial packaging and lending assistance; exporting and importing support; disaster recovery assistance; procurement and contracting aid; and market research services. Small business owners also have access to professional development courses and workshops that assist them in becoming more efficient and productive entrepreneurs. These 41 services are provided at little or no cost to businesses.
The services provided by the SBDC have resulted in significant positive impact for the local business community. The SBDC is a catalyst for daytime activity and is a valuable component of the small business growth efforts underway in Downtown Ontario. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the lease agreement with the SBDC to use the City-owned property located at 603 North Euclid Avenue for a one-year term, with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms.

Item No: 4
SUBJECT: ACCEPT FEMA GRANT FUNDS AND AWARD CONTRACT TO UPDATE THE LOCAL
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN AND THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 16, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take the following actions:
A. Accept FEMA grant funds in the award amount of $125,000 to be used specifically for consultant support on writing the emergency plans.
B. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a contract with Atlas Planning Solutions through June 30, 2024, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 to update the City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Emergency Operations Plan.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT: On May 18, 2022, the City was awarded $125,000 through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. These funds will be allocated at the next quarterly budget update. These grants funds will partially offset consulting service to update both the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Emergency Operations Plan. The remaining $25,000 has been appropriated in Fire Mutual Aid Fund for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The contract includes a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 through June 30, 2024.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is required by the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and requires a community to have an approved hazard mitigation plan to identify policies and to take actions that can be implemented over the long term to reduce risk and future losses when an emergency or disaster occurs. Additionally, this Plan also makes the City eligible to apply for and receive FEMA hazard mitigation funds. With the current Plan set to expire in December 2023, City Staff applied for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in June 2021, for the maximum allowable amount of $125,000 to support updating the existing plan before said expiration. On May 18, 2022, Staff received award notification from FEMA that the grant application was approved at the requested maximum amount of $125,000. This grant has a twoyear performance period with the project ending on May 18, 2024, and a 75% Federal Share 43 ($93,750) and 25% Local Share ($31,250). The 25% Local Share will be offset by Staff salary supporting this project during the performance period. It is Staff's recommendation that the City Council accept this grant award.
Parallel to the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan update, the City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) was last revised in 2017, and also determined to be in need of significant updates. This is largely in part due to a reorganization within the City, a change to staffing in the recent years, and also various pieces of passed legislation at the State and Federal level requiring our EOP to include topics such as climate change and approach to vulnerable populations throughout the community.
Therefore, in June 2022, the City solicited proposals through the City's bid management system and received four viable proposal to update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and optionally the Emergency Operations Plan. Atlas Planning Solutions (APS) was recommended by a review committee of City Staff. APS has demonstrated a strong background in Hazard Mitigation Plans writing, having updated many jurisdictions here within the southern California region in comparison to other proposals submitted. In recognition of the timeline to update both LHMP and EOP, Staff recommends using the awarded grant funds in conjunction with already appropriated Fiscal Year 2022-23 funds to award a contract to Atlas Planning Solutions for consulting services to update these plans with a total not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 through June 30, 2024. 44 Department: Fire Department

Item No: 5
SUBJECT: AN AGREEMENT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SUPPORT SERVICES, COUNSELING AND
CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS MANAGEMENT SERVICES
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 16, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute up to a fiveyear Professional Services Agreement with The Counseling Team International, of San Bernardino, California, for public safety personnel support services, counseling, pre-employment psychological testing, and critical incident stress management. The total compensation shall not exceed $100,000 annually and the total not-to-exceed is $500,000 for the five-year Agreement.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Proposed Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund and General Liability for public safety support services, counseling, and critical incident intervention services. Funding for these services is included in the operating budgets for the Fire Department, Police Department, and Human Resources/Risk Management agencies. The total compensation shall not exceed $100,000 annually and the total not-to-exceed is $500,000 for the five-year Agreement. If additional funding is needed for a crisis, additional appropriations will be requested at that time or requested at the next quarterly budget update.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In April 2022, the City solicited proposals through the City’s bid management system from experienced firms capable of providing comprehensive employee support services such as Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, counseling, critical incident management, hostage negotiations training, and in-service peer support training. This service is used by sworn and professional public safety employees, such as police officers, firefighters, and 911 dispatchers, who need counseling after critical incidents.
During the bid process, 72 vendors were notified about the opportunity and of that, eight vendors showed interest. Ultimately, The Counseling Team International was the only firm to submit a proposal. After reviewing the proposal, The Counseling Team International met all criteria outlined in the Request for Proposal. The Counseling Team International provides these services nationwide to over 50 organizations including cities, counties, school districts, and specializes in public safety. 45 The Counseling Team International has been under contract with the City and provided satisfactory services for the past thirty-two years, therefore, Staff is recommending the Professional Services Agreement be awarded to The Counseling Team International for public safety personnel support services, counseling, critical incident stress management, and psychological testing. 46 Department: Economic Development

A. Adopt the attached Resolution approving the Disposition and Development Agreement (“Agreement”) between the D Street Townhome Apartments, LLC, a California Limited Liability Corporation (“Developer”) (on file with the Records Management Department).
B. Authorize the City Manager/Executive Director or his designee to sign all documents necessary to implement the Agreement.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: The Developer will purchase approximately 0.74 acres of real property for $675,000 which will be deposited into a City Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The D Street and Laurel Avenue development ("Development") is
0.737 acres (APNs 1048-354-12 and 1048-354-13), commonly known as 120 West D Street and 420 North Laurel Avenue, Ontario, CA 91762. It is bounded by Laurel Avenue on the west, E Street on the north, Euclid Avenue on the east, and D Street on the south. The Development offers an opportunity to continue Ontario’s efforts to revitalize downtown Ontario with high-density residential units, which will in turn bring in more pedestrians and visitors to create a vibrant district.
The Development location is ideally located to provide high-density residential units next to local shopping, public transportation, and other amenities that will enhance the quality of life for the 47 future residents. The Development will result in the construction of 26 three-story townhomes, consistent with the City’s Downtown Specific Plan and related development standards and design guidelines. Parking for the project will be on-site, with a two-car garage for each proposed townhome. Additional guest/visitor parking may be located in the nearby City public parking facility located at C Street and Lemon Avenue.
The developer is D Street Townhome Apartments, LLC, located in Los Angeles, California. They have developed, owned and managed residential, mixed-use and office/commercial projects at various locations throughout Southern California. The site plan has been prepared to be consistent with the development and design guidelines as contained in the Town Center Planned Unit Development.
The proposed site plan and architectural elevations are attached as Exhibit “A.” The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32, Infill Development Projects) of the CEQA Guidelines.
On May 24, 2022, the Planning Commission found that the proposed project was consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

PROPERTY DISPOSITION
2.1 Purchase and Sale. Developer agrees to purchase, and City agrees to sell, the Property for the Purchase Price. For the purposes of exchanging funds and documents to complete the sale from the City to the Developer and the purchase by the Developer from the City of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the City and the Developer agree to open an escrow (“Escrow”) with the Escrow Holder. ARTICLE III of this Agreement constitutes the joint escrow instructions of the Parties to the Escrow Holder for completion of the Escrow for the sale of the Property, as contemplated by this Agreement. The Developer and the City shall execute such further escrow instructions, consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, as may be reasonably requested by the Escrow Holder. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any other escrow instructions requested by the Escrow Holder, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
2.2 Earnest Money Deposit. Concurrent with its opening of the Escrow, the Developer shall deposit into Escrow the Earnest Money Deposit. The Escrow Holder shall deposit the Earnest Money Deposit into an interest bearing account. All interest earned on such funds shall be added to the original principal amount of the Earnest Money Deposit and be considered part of the same.
The Earnest Money Deposit shall be nonrefundable upon the conclusion of the Due Diligence Period. Should Escrow fail to close after the conclusion of the Due Diligence Period, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be forfeited by Developer and shall be paid to the City upon the cancellation of Escrow in accordance with Section 3.10. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Developer if this Agreement is terminated due to the exercise by the Developer of any contingencies, or disapprovals allowed herein prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, or in the case of the City’s failure of its obligations herein.
2.3 Title Approval. As soon as practicable following the opening of the Escrow, the City shall obtain from Title Company the Preliminary Report and deliver a copy of the Preliminary Report to the Developer. Within sixty (60) days following the Escrow Opening Date (defined at Section 3.1), the Developer shall deliver the Developer’s Title Notice to the City. If the Developer fails to deliver the Developer’s Title Notice to the City by the Title Approval Date, the Developer will be deemed to disapprove the status of title to the Property and refuse to accept title to the Property, in which case the City shall have the right, subject to Section 2.3.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion, without liability to the Developer or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Developer and Escrow Holder. Within twenty (20) days following receipt by the City of Developer’s Title Notice, if any, the City shall serve City’s Title Notice Response. If Developer’s Title Notice does not object to any matter in the Preliminary Report, the City shall not be required to serve City’s Title Notice Response. If the City does not serve City’s Title Notice Response, if necessary, within twenty (20) days following its receipt of Developer’s Title Notice, the City shall be deemed to elect not to remove any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice, if any, from the Preliminary Report. If the City elects in City’s Title Notice Response to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, the City shall cause the removal of each such objectionable matter from the Preliminary Report within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Developer of City’s Title Notice Response or such other period of time that may be agreed to 68 46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
13 in writing by both the City and the Developer, and any such delay will also delay the end of the Due Diligence Period. If the City is unwilling or unable to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, then, within ten (10) days following the Developer’s receipt of City’s Title Notice Response stating that the City is unwilling to remove or cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice, the Developer may either (1) refuse to accept title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the Parties shall have the right, subject to Section 2.3.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement without liability to either Party or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Escrow Holder, or (2) waive its objection to any items set forth in Developer’s Title Notice by delivering Developer’s Title Notice Waiver to the City. Failure by the Developer to deliver Developer’s Title Notice Waiver, where City’s Title Notice Response or the City’s failure to serve City’s Title Notice Response indicates the City’s election not to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer’s Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, for the City to deliver City’s Title Notice Response under this Agreement, will be deemed the Developer’s continued refusal to accept the title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the City shall have the right, subject to Section 2.3.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion, without liability to the Developer or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Developer and Escrow Holder. If the City’s Title Notice Response indicates that the City will cause the removal of any matter of Title, but upon the expiration of the above sixty (60) day time period during which the City elected to remove such objectionable matters from the Preliminary Report and was unable to do so, City must notify Developer that it was unable to do so. Within ten (10) days after this notice, Developer may either (1) refuse to accept the title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the Parties shall have the right, subject to Section
2.3.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement without liability to either Party or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Escrow Holder, or (2) waive its objection to any items set forth in Developer’s Title Notice by delivering Developer’s Title Notice Waiver to the City.
2.3.1 If at any time prior to the Close of Escrow the Title Company issues an updated Preliminary Report containing any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the Property, or the City becomes aware of any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the Property, following the delivery of the Developer’s Title Notice, the City shall provide written notice to the Developer of such matter, together with any updated Preliminary Report related to such matter. The City and the Developer shall have such rights and obligations with respect to such previously undisclosed title matters as they did with respect to any title matters set forth in the original Preliminary Report as set forth in this Section 2.3.
2.3.2 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.3 to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, such Party shall notify the non-terminating Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party’s request, which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating Party’s notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable title matter may be eliminated or mitigated. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement, representation, or warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable title matter will be achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or undertake any other action 69 46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
14 whatsoever with respect to such title matter unless such agreement is reduced to a writing which is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving such title matter, or if any proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be cancelled, this Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall proceed pursuant to Section 3.10. The phrase “without liability to any party” includes return of Developer’s Earnest Money Deposit, subject to Sections 2.3 and 3.10, and so long as the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph is delivered prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the additional time periods in this paragraph shall not act to cause Developer’s Earnest Money Deposit to be forfeit.
2.4 Developer Investigations.
2.4.1 The Developer shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to complete all of its Due Diligence Investigations with respect to the entirety of the Property. The Developer shall complete all of its Due Diligence Investigations within the Due Diligence Period and shall conduct all of its Due Diligence Investigations at its sole cost and expense. The Developer shall rely solely and exclusively upon the results of its Due Diligence Investigations of the Property, including, without limitation, investigations regarding geotechnical soil conditions, compliance with applicable laws pertaining to the use of the Property by the Developer and any other matters relevant to the condition or suitability of the Property for the Project, as the Developer may deem necessary or appropriate. City makes no representation or warranty to the Developer relating to the condition of the Property or suitability of the Property for any intended use or development by the Developer. The Developer shall deliver a Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice to the City and the Escrow Holder prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period. If the Developer does not unconditionally accept the condition of the Property by delivery of its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice indicating such acceptance prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Developer shall be deemed to have rejected the condition of the Property and refused to accept conveyance of title to the Property. If the condition of the Property is rejected or deemed rejected by the Developer, then the City shall have the right, subject to Section 2.4.3, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the City’s sole discretion, without liability to the Developer or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Developer and Escrow Holder. The Developer shall accept all conditions of the Property, without any liability of the City whatsoever, upon the Developer’s acceptance of the condition of the Property indicated in its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice. The Developer’s delivery of its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice indicating the Developer’s unconditional acceptance of the condition of the Property shall evidence the acceptance of the condition of the Property by the Developer in its existing “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and “SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS” condition, as of the last day of the Due Diligence Period.
In its sole discretion, the Developer may accept the Property in its “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” and “SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS” condition at any time before the end of the Due Diligence Period.
The Developer shall conduct during the Due Diligence Period such environmental assessment(s) of the Property as the Developer deems appropriate. If such assessment(s) do not reveal the presence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property in levels that exceed applicable Governmental Requirements, then the City shall promptly and at its sole cost and expense install security fencing around the Property. If such assessment(s) do reveal the presence of any Hazardous Substances on the Property in levels that exceed applicable Governmental 70 46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
15 Requirements, then the City and the Developer shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach agreement as to the allocation of responsibility and cost of remediation thereof.
2.4.2 Any Due Diligence Investigations of the Property by the Developer shall not unreasonably disrupt any then-existing use or occupancy of the Property or the operations of the City. The Developer shall be liable for any damage or injury to any person or property arising from the acts of the Developer, its employees, agents or representatives during the course of any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property and the Developer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City), and hold harmless the City and its elected officials, officers, directors, attorneys, contractors, agents and employees from any and all actual or alleged liens, claims, demands or liability arising from any Due Diligence Investigations by the Developer on the Property. Prior to commencing any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property, the Developer shall deliver copies of policies or certificates of insurance to the City evidencing compliance by the Developer with the insurance requirements of Section 5.10.
2.4.3 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.4 to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, including due to the failure of Developer to timely deliver the Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice, such Party shall notify the nonterminating Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party’s request, which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating Party’s notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable Due Diligence matter may be eliminated or mitigated, and this time period will extend the Due Diligence Period. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement, representation, or warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable Due Diligence matter will be achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or undertake any other action whatsoever with respect to such Due Diligence matter unless such obligation is reduced to a writing which is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving the objectionable Due Diligence matter, or if any proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be cancelled, this Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall proceed pursuant to Section 3.10. City, and staff and agents will reasonably cooperate with Developer’s efforts to investigate the property at Developer’s cost, including but not limited to: authorizing any City consultants with prior reports or findings to issue certificates of reliance on the prior reports to Developer, at Developer’s costs and without warranty from or liability to City; authorizing such consultants and contractors, subject to the City’s prior review and approval, to open up records to Developer, and/or provide copies (digital versions where available) of reports and findings to Developer or its consultants.
Any such information provided to Developer shall be without warranty from or liability to City.

Governmental agency in the preceding sentence includes a third party allowed to make a claim under those codes.

17 (collectively, the “City Requirements”), shall be applicable to the use and development of the Project on the Property by the Developer. The Developer acknowledges that all Plans and Specifications and any changes to the Plans and Specifications shall be subject to the City Requirements. No action by the City with reference to this Agreement or any related documents shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any City Requirements regarding the Property, the Project, the Developer, any successor-in-interest of the Developer or any successor-in-interest to the Property. The City Requirements may only be changed or waived by modification or variance approved by the City and consistent with this Agreement. No entitlement, permit or other approval from the City for development of the Project on the Property (collectively, the “Entitlements”) shall attach to any portion of the Property or otherwise become effective to allow the Developer to develop the Project on the Property until after the Developer owns fee title to that portion of the Property to which such Entitlement pertains.

4.2 Developer Changes to Plans and Specifications During Course of Construction.

The Developer shall submit all other changes, i.e. those changes which are not “minor field changes”, to the City for its review and approval no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date that the Developer intends to implement such changes. The City shall have ten (10) days from its receipt of such proposed changes to review the same and advise the Developer in writing whether such changes are acceptable to the City in its reasonable discretion.
Any proposed changes which are not disapproved by the City within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed approved.

4.5 Schedule of Performance. The Schedule of Performance establishes various dates and times for the accomplishment of various tasks assigned to the City and the Developer and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the close of the Escrow. The Parties agree that time is of the essence in the performance of such tasks and the satisfaction of conditions precedent, in view of the large investment of resources that all Parties recognize will be required for assembly of the Property and the undertaking of the Project. If the date or time for the performance of a task or the satisfaction of a condition, as set forth in either the text of this Agreement or in the Schedule of Performance, may not be achieved, then prior to such date or time set forth in the text of this Agreement or the Schedule of Performance, the Parties shall consider whether a modification to the text of this Agreement or to the Schedule of Performance is warranted.

26 arising out of the exercise by the City of the right of access to the Property provided in this Section
4.7, other than injury, property damage or liability arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Developer or its officers, agents or employees. The City shall inspect relevant portions of the Property, prior to issuing any written statements reflecting adversely on the Developer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement pertaining to development of the Project. If in the City’s reasonable judgment it is necessary, the City shall have the further right, from time to time, to retain a consultant or consultants to inspect the Project and verify compliance by the Developer with the provisions of this Agreement. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that any such inspections are for the sole purpose of protecting the City’s rights under this Agreement, are made solely for the City’s benefit, that the inspections may be superficial and general in nature, and are for the purposes of informing the City of the progress of the Project and the conformity of the Project with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that the Developer shall not be entitled to rely on any such inspection(s) as constituting an approval, satisfaction or acceptance of any materials, workmanship, conformity of the Project with this Agreement or otherwise. The Developer agrees to make its own regular inspections of the work of construction of the Project to determine that the quality of the Project and all other requirements of the work of construction of the Project are being performed in a manner satisfactory to the Developer.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Developer shall permit the City upon reasonable notice to examine and copy all books and account records and other papers relating to the Property and the construction of the Project.

27 4.9 Private Undertaking; Prevailing Wages.
4.9.1 It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the development of the Project is a private development, that neither party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that each party is an independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement. No partnership, joint venture or other association of any kind is formed by this Agreement. The only relationship between City and Owner is that of a government entity regulating the development of private property and the owner of such property.
4.9.2 The Developer agrees with the City that the Developer shall assume the responsibility and be solely responsible for determining whether or not laborers employed relative to the construction of the Project must be paid the prevailing per diem wage rate for their labor classification. The Developer, on behalf of itself, its successors, and assigns, waives and releases the City from any right of action that may be available to it pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781. The Developer acknowledges the protections of Civil Code Section 1542 relative to the waiver and release contained in this Section 4.9, which reads as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS
THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT
THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF
KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY
AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR
OR RELEASED PARTY.”

4.9.3 Additionally, in accordance with Section 7.7, the Developer shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to the City and hold the City harmless against any claims pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781 arising from this Agreement or the construction or operation of the Project.
4.10 Certificate of Completion.
4.10.1 Following the substantial completion of construction of the Project, and upon written request from the Developer for issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, the City shall inspect the Project to determine whether or not the Project has been substantially completed in compliance with this Agreement. If the City determines that the Project is complete and in compliance with this Agreement, the City Manager shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion for the Project. If the City determines that the Project is not in 83 46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
28 compliance with this Agreement, the City Manager shall send written notice of each nonconformity to the Developer. Upon issuance of the final certificate of occupancy for the development of the Project, based on the plans submitted by the Developer to the City, the City shall furnish the Developer with a Certificate of Completion for the Project. Until the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, the City shall retain a right of reverter in the Property pursuant to Section 7.6. The City shall not unreasonably interfere with the usual inspections by City agencies or other typical governmental inspections related to requirements for a certificate of occupancy.
4.10.2 The City shall not unreasonably withhold the issuance of a Certificate of Completion. A Certificate of Completion shall be evidence of the City’s conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the Project to which it pertains pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. After the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project, any person then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property improved with the Project shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement regarding construction or installation of the Project except that such person shall be bound by any reservations, covenants, conditions, restrictions and other interests recorded against the Property pursuant to this Agreement and the Grant Deed.
4.10.3 If the City fails or refuses to issue a Certificate of Completion following written request from the Developer within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Developer’s written request or within three (3) calendar days after the next regular meeting of the City Council, whichever date occurs later, the City shall provide the Developer with a written statement setting forth the reasons for the City’s failure or refusal to issue a Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the City’s opinion of the action(s) the Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion from the City. If the reason for the Developer’s failure to complete the Project is confined to the immediate unavailability of specific items or materials for construction or landscaping at a price reasonably acceptable to the Developer or other minor building “punchlist” items, the City may issue its Certificate of Completion upon the posting of a bond or irrevocable standby letter of credit by the Developer in a form reasonably acceptable to the City in an amount representing the fair value of the work on the Project remaining to be completed, as reasonably determined by the City. If the City fails to provide such written statement, within the specified time period, the Developer shall be deemed conclusively and without further action of the City to have satisfied the requirements of this Agreement with respect to the Project, as if a Certificate of Completion had been issued by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
4.10.4 A Certificate of Completion shall not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer to any holder of a mortgage, or any insurer of a mortgage securing money loaned to finance the Project, or any parts thereof. A Certificate of Completion shall not be deemed to constitute a notice of completion under Section 3093 of the California Civil Code, nor shall it act to terminate the continuing covenants, restrictions or conditions contained in the Grant Deed or any other instruments recorded against the Property pursuant to this Agreement. A Certificate of Completion is not evidence of the compliance of the Project with any City Requirements or any building code, conditions of approval, land use, zoning or other requirements of the City or any Governmental Agency with jurisdiction over the Property, other than the City.

33 5.6.2 The covenant of this Section 5.6 shall run with the land of the Property in perpetuity, shall be enforceable against the Developer and its successors and assigns, and shall be covenants set forth in the Grant Deed.
5.7 Survival of Special Development Covenants. All of the covenants set forth in ARTICLE V, inclusive, shall be a covenant running with the land of the Property and each such special development covenant shall survive the Close of Escrow, execution and recordation of the Grant Deed, and issuance and recordation of any Certificate of Completion for the time period specifically set forth in each such special development covenant, except as expressly limited otherwise above or herein. The Parties acknowledge that although the special development covenants apply to the entirety of the Property, portions of the Project and Property may, in accordance with the Permitted Transfer requirements, be sold or otherwise transferred to various successors and assigns of the Developer. Accordingly, the City agrees that with respect to enforcement of any of the special development covenants, it is understood and agreed that, in the event of a breach of any of the special development covenants, the City will seek to enforce those covenants only against the then-current owner(s) of that portion of the Property which is not in compliance with any one or more the special development covenants. No owner of any portion of the Property which is in compliance with the special development covenants shall be liable for the breach of any of the special development covenants by any other owner of any other portion of the Property; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude City from seeking damages against any prior owner of any portion of the Property if, during the tenure of such owner’s ownership, such owner’s portion of the Property was not in compliance with any one or more of the special development covenants.
5.8 Developer Covenant to Defend this Agreement. The Developer acknowledges that the City is a “public entity” and/or “public agency” as defined under applicable California law. Therefore, the City must comply with certain California statutes relating to the actions of public entities and public agencies. Also, as a public body, the City’s action in approving this Agreement may be subject to proceedings to invalidate this Agreement or mandamus. The Developer assumes the risk of delays and damages that may result to the Developer from any thirdparty legal actions related to the City’s approval of this Agreement or the pursuit of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, even in the event that an error, omission or abuse of discretion by the City is determined to have occurred. If a third-party files a legal action regarding the City’s approval of this Agreement or the pursuit of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, either the City may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice to the Developer of the City’s intent to terminate this Agreement, referencing this Section 5.8, without any further obligation to perform the terms of this Agreement and without any liability to the Developer resulting from such termination, unless the Developer unconditionally agrees to indemnify and defend the City, with legal counsel acceptable to the City, against such third-party legal action, as provided in the next sentence. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the City’s notice of intent to terminate this Agreement, as provided in the preceding sentence, the Developer may offer to defend the City, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the City, in the third-party legal action and pay all of the court costs, attorney fees, monetary awards, sanctions, attorney fee awards, expert witness and consulting fees, and the expenses of any and all financial or performance obligations resulting from the disposition of the legal action. Any such offer from the Developer must be in writing and reasonably acceptable to the City in both form and substance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may not cancel or terminate this Agreement on the basis of 89 46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
34 the assertion by a third party of a claim related to the Surplus Land Act (Government Code section 54220 et seq. through and including 54234) (the “SLA” and such a claim, an “SLA Claim”). In the event an SLA Claim demands, seeks or places restrictions on use of the Property which were not contemplated in this Agreement, then Developer may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice, presuming said notice is served before Close of Escrow. Developer shall promptly notify the City following its receipt or knowledge of any notice of violation, claim, action, or proceeding initiated by the State of California, (or third party asserting such violations as a Qui Tam or otherwise acting as a private attorney general), and the Developer shall reasonably and in good faith cooperate in the City’s defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 5.8 shall be deemed or construed to be an express or implied admission that the City is liable to the Developer or any other person or entity for damages alleged from any alleged or established failure of the City to comply with any statute, including, without limitation, CEQA and the SLA. Either Party’s defense of such third party actions as described in this Section 5.8 shall constitute an Unavoidable Delay.
5.9 Environmental Indemnity of the City by the Developer. The Developer agrees that after Close of Escrow, at its sole cost and expense, to fully indemnify, protect, hold harmless, and defend (with counsel selected by the Developer and approved by the City) the City and its commissions, agents, attorneys, officers, employees, and authorized representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fines, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney fees, disbursements and costs of attorneys, environmental consultants and other experts, and all foreseeable and unforeseeable damages or costs of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Environmental Claims”) that may, at any time, be imposed upon, incurred or suffered by, or claimed, asserted or awarded against, the Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly relating to or arising from any of the following “Environmental Matters” existing or occurring during or arising from the Developer’s ownership of the Property or construction or operation of the Project:
5.9.1 The presence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under, from or affecting all or any portion of the Property or the Project.

5.9.7 Any investigation, inquiry, order, hearing, action or other proceeding by or before any governmental agency in connection with any Hazardous Materials on, in, under, from or affecting the Property or the Project or the violation of any Environmental Law relating to the Property or the Project.
5.9.8 The Developer shall pay to the Indemnified Parties all costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with enforcement of the aforementioned environmental indemnity.
5.9.9 Nothing herein shall require Developer to protect, defend or indemnify the City from costs arising from actions by other governmental agencies including fines, or required contributions to remediation costs, or a pro-rated portion of the total costs, including attorneys fees and consultant expenses if it is determined that the City itself was a generator of Hazardous Materials which is determined to have placed, released, or allowed migration of such materials onto or under the Property during a period of time prior to the execution of this agreement. The term ‘generator’ as used herein means that the City was directly involved in the use, placement, release, or migration of the Hazardous Materials.
5.10 Insurance. In order to protect the City and its commissions, agents, attorneys, officers, employees and authorized representatives (collectively, “Additional Insureds”) against any and all claims and liability for death, injury, loss and damage resulting from the Developer’s actions in connection with this Agreement, the Property, and the Project, the Developer shall secure and maintain the insurance coverage, described in and required by this Section 5.10. The City shall not have any obligation under this Agreement until the Developer provides the required policies and/or certificates evidencing the insurance required by this Section 5.10 to the City and the City approves such evidence of insurance. The Developer shall pay any deductibles and selfinsured retentions under all insurance policies issued in satisfaction of the terms of this Agreement.

DRAFT BBK 8-11-22

The Developer shall require each contractor and sub-contractor performing work on the Project to provide workers’ compensation coverage for all of such contractor’s or sub-contractor’s employees, unless the contractor’s or sub-contractor’s employees are covered by workers’ compensation insurance provided by the Developer. If any class of employees engaged in work or services performed in connection with the Project is not covered by Labor Code Section 3700, the Developer shall provide and/or require each contractor or sub-contractor to provide adequate workers’ compensation insurance covering such employees. Each workers’ compensation policy procured pursuant to this Section 5.10.1 shall contain a full waiver of subrogation clause in favor of the Additional Insureds.

5.10.2.2 During the construction of the Project, the Developer shall require that each contractor performing work on the Project maintain the following insurance coverage, as specified below, at all times during the performance of said work, or the Developer shall provide for such contractors “wrap” coverage, as specified below, at all times during the performance of said work:

5.10.2.6 Subject to Section 5.10.2.4, all of the insurance coverage required under this Section 5.10 shall be maintained by the Developer or its contractors, as required by the terms of this Agreement, until the issuance of the Certificate of Completion and requested not to 93 46700.12001\35016261.6

These insurance requirements in 5.10.2 may be met in part or in whole by an OCIP (Owner Controlled Insurance Program), Builder’s Risk or other ‘wrap’ type policy even if the above paragraphs state ‘each’ contractor or subcontractor must have separate insurance. The Developer shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, canceled, non-renewed, or whose policy limits are exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy. If any notices of change, or cancellation are received Developer shall immediately notify the City, but requirements for “no changes without 30 days advance notice” may not be accepted by insurers, and minor variations in notice of cancellations clauses shall not be a breach of this Agreement. Failure of Developer to have replacement insurance meeting all requirements put in place prior to the cancellation date of any required insurance policy is a breach of this Agreement.
5.10.2.7 All insurance to be obtained and maintained by the Developer under this Section 5.10 shall be issued by a company or companies listed in the then current “Best’s Key Rating Guide” publication with a minimum of an “A:VII” rating and be authorized to conduct business in the State of California , but said carriers may be ‘non-admitted.’

5.10.2.10 Insurance coverage in the minimum amounts set forth in this Section 5.10 shall not be construed to relieve the Developer of any liability, whether within, outside, or in excess of such coverage, and regardless of solvency or insolvency of the insurer that issues the coverage; nor shall it preclude the Additional Insureds from taking such other actions as are available to them under any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise at law.
5.10.3 Failure by the Developer to maintain all insurance coverage required by this Section 5.10 in effect shall be an Event of Default by the Developer. The City, at its sole option, may exercise any remedy available to them in connection with such an Event of Default.
Alternatively, the City may, at its sole option, purchase any such required insurance coverage and the City shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Developer for any premiums and associated costs paid by the City for such insurance coverage. Any election by the City to purchase or not to purchase insurance otherwise required to be carried by the Developer shall not relieve the Developer of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverage required by this Agreement.

DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
39 the Construction Loan Deed of Trust(s) to be recorded against the Property within sixty (60) days following the Close of Escrow.
6.2 Unauthorized Liens. Except as provided in Section 6.3, until recordation of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall not record, and shall not allow to be recorded, against the Property, or any portion thereof, any Lien not expressly authorized by this Agreement.
Until recordation of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall remove, or shall have removed, any unauthorized Lien made or recorded against the Property or any portion of the Property, or shall assure the satisfaction thereof to the satisfaction of the City. After one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior written notice to the Developer, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any unauthorized Lien made or recorded prior to recordation of the Certificate of Completion and receive reimbursement from the Developer for any amounts paid or incurred in satisfying any such Lien, upon demand. Nothing in this Section 6.2, though, shall require the Developer to pay or make provisions for the payment of any tax, assessment, lien, or charge that the Developer is in the process of contesting the validity or amount thereof, in good faith, and so long as such contest shall not subject the Property, or any portion thereof, to forfeiture or sale.
6.3 Rights of Lenders and City Regarding Permitted Loans and Liens.
6.3.1 The City shall have the right of reasonable review and approval of any Lender from which the Developer proposes to obtain any Loan, whether or not such Loan is secured by a Lien against the Property or any portion thereof. The City shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any proposed Lender or Loan. In deciding whether to give, condition or withhold such approval, the City may consider, among other matters, whether or not the proposed Lender is a state or federally chartered bank, savings and loan, or other financial institution which routinely provides construction financing to development projects such as the Project, whether the terms of the Loan are reasonable and customary when compared to the financing terms of similar development projects in the County, the size and financial strength of the proposed Lender, and what effect, if any, any changes requested by the Lender to either this Agreement or any of the exhibits to this Agreement may have upon the City’s rights and remedies hereunder. In connection therewith, in any notice requesting approval of a proposed Lender and Loan, the Developer shall include a statement identifying any amendments, modifications, or other changes to this Agreement or its exhibits which the proposed Lender will request in connection with the Developer’s obtaining of the Loan. The City agrees to reasonably consider, but shall not be obligated to accept, any amendment, modification, or other change to this Agreement or any of the exhibits to this Agreement which materially restricts, diminishes, or burdens the City’s rights and remedies.
6.3.2 Whenever the City delivers any notice or demand to the Developer regarding any breach or default by the Developer under this Agreement that, if not timely cured by the Developer, would entitle the City to terminate this Agreement, the City shall send a copy of such notice to each affected Lender of which the City has received notice and a contact address for transmittal of such notices. Whenever the City delivers any notice or demand to the Developer regarding any breach or default by the Developer under this Agreement that, if not timely cured by the Developer, would entitle the City to exercise its power of termination of the fee estate of all or any portion of the Property pursuant to Section 7.6, the City shall at the same time send a copy 95 46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
40 of such notice or demand to each affected Lender of which the City has received notice and a contact address for transmittal of such notice. Each affected Lender receiving a copy of any such notice shall have the right, at its option, to commence the cure or remedy of any such default of the Developer and to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure or remedy, within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following its receipt of notice of the default. If a default of the Developer under this Agreement cannot, with diligence, be remedied or cured, or the remedy or cure of such default cannot be commenced, within such one hundred eighty (180) calendar day period, the Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy or cure such default of the Developer, but in no event beyond three hundred sixty five (365) calendar days following its receipt of notice of the default. If such default of the Developer can only be remedied or cured by the Lender upon obtaining possession of the Property, the Lender shall seek to obtain possession of the Property with diligence and continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and shall remedy or cure such default of the Developer within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after obtaining possession of the Property. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize any Lender to undertake or continue the construction of any portion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect improvements or construction already made), without expressly assuming the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement by written agreement approved by the City, in which the Lender agrees to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the improvements to which the Lien or title of the Lender relates, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed, or conditioned by the City.
6.3.3 In any case where, one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after delivery of notice of a default of the Developer under Section 6.3.2, an affected Lender has not exercised the option provided in Section 6.3.2 to construct the applicable portions of the Project, or has exercised the option, but has not proceeded diligently and continuously with construction, the City shall have the option, in the City’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the Loan of such Lender and any security interest of such Lender under its Loan Documents by payment to the Lender of the amount of the unpaid Loan, including principal, accrued and unpaid interest, late charges, costs, expenses and other amounts payable to the Lender by the Developer under its Loan Documents and, if the ownership of the Property or any portion of the Property has previously vested in such Lender, the City, at its option but not as its obligation, shall be entitled to a conveyance of any title or interest in the Property vested in such Lender from such Lender.
6.3.4 After expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) calendar day period provided for in Section 6.3.3, any affected Lender may demand, in writing, that the City act to exercise or forego the option granted in Section 6.3.3. If the City fails to exercise the right granted in Section 6.3.3 within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the City’s receipt of such written demand from a Lender, the City shall be conclusively deemed to have waived its right of purchase of that Lender’s interest pursuant to Section 6.3.3.
6.3.5 In the event of a default or breach by the Developer under any Loan Documents, where the Lender has not exercised its option to complete the Project under Section
6.3.3, the City may cure the default of the Developer under the applicable Loan Documents, but is under no obligation to do so, prior to completion of any sale or foreclosure of the Property or any portion thereof under the applicable Loan Documents. The City shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Developer of all costs and expenses incurred by the City in curing any default of the Developer under any Loan Documents.

41 6.3.6 In any case where a Lender has acquired title to all or any portion of the Property or Project through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or any other means, and such Lender proposes to enter into an agreement to transfer the Property and/or Project, or any portion thereof, to a third party transferee, the Lender shall provide the City with written notice thereof, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. The City shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Property and/or Project on substantially the same terms as described in the Lender’s notice, which option, if ever, shall be exercised by written notice from the City to the Lender within twenty (20) days following the City’s receipt of the Lender’s notice. If the City elects not to exercise its option, then, subject to Section 8.2.2, the Lender may complete the transaction described in its notice, provided that such transaction is closed on materially identical terms and conditions as those described in the Lender’s notice to the City. If the Lender and third party transferee desire to materially amend the terms of their proposed transaction, the Lender shall give the City written notice of the proposed modifications and the City shall once again have the right to elect to acquire the Property and the Project (or portion thereof) on terms and conditions substantially similar to those modified terms. If, for any reason, the proposed transaction between the Lender and third party transferee fails to close within two hundred forty (240) days following the date on which the City first receives notice of the proposed transaction (or notice of the proposed modified transaction, whichever is later), then the City once again have the right to elect to acquire the Property and/or Project pursuant to this Section 6.3.6.
6.3.7 The restrictions set forth in this Section 6.3 shall remain in effect only until the recordation of the Certificate of Completion for the Project.

DEFAULTS, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION
7.1 Defaults - General.
7.1.1 Subject to any extensions of time provided for in this Agreement, failure or delay by any Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement; provided, however, that if a Party otherwise in default commences to cure, correct or remedy such default, within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of written notice from the injured Party specifying such default, and shall diligently and continuously prosecute such cure, correction or remedy to completion (and where any time limits for the completion of such cure, correction or remedy are specifically set forth in this Agreement, then within said time limits), such Party shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement and no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.
7.1.2 The injured Party shall give written notice of default to the Party in default, specifying the default complained of by the non-defaulting Party. Delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default nor shall it change the time of default.
7.1.3 Any failure or delays by any Party in asserting any of their rights and/or remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies.

ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8.1 Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals of fact set forth preceding this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety by this reference.
8.2 Restrictions on Transfers.
8.2.1 The Developer acknowledges that the qualifications and identity of the Developer are of particular importance to the City. The Developer further recognizes and acknowledges that the City has relied and is relying on the specific qualifications and identity of the Developer in entering into this Agreement with the Developer and, as a consequence, Transfers are permitted only as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Developer shall promptly notify the City in writing of any and all changes whatsoever in the identity of the business entities or individuals either comprising or in control of the Developer, as well as any and all changes in the interest or the degree of control of the Developer by any such person, of which information the Developer or any of its partners, members or officers are notified or may otherwise have knowledge or information.
8.2.2 Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Developer represents to the City that it has not made and agrees that it will not make or create, or suffer to be made or created, any Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer, either voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, until after the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project subject to the Transfer; provided, however, that the City may approve in its reasonable discretion, Transfers other than Permitted Transfers prior to the recordation of a Certificate of Completion. In deciding whether to approve or disapprove any proposed Transfer, the City may consider the proposed transferee’s financial strength and the experience of the proposed transferee and its senior management in undertaking and successfully completing projects of a similar type and size as the Project or that portion of the Project proposed to be transferred. The City may not consider the amount of money that the proposed transferee is paying or intends to pay to the Developer as consideration for such Transfer or condition approval of the Transfer on the sharing of any such payment made or to be made to the Developer with the City. In connection with a proposed 104
46700.12001\35016261.6
DRAFT BBK 8-11-22
49 Transfer, Developer shall submit to the City appropriate documentation, including but not limited to a form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement, for City’s review and written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or denied. In addition to the foregoing terms and conditions, if a proposed Transfer occurs prior to the City’s issuance of a building permit, City shall have a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to reacquire the Property and/or Project (or portion thereof) on substantially the same price and terms as the proposed transferee, as memorialized in a final but unexecuted purchase and sale or other definitive agreement. City shall have thirty (30) days from the date of notice by Developer to exercise its ROFR by providing written notice of acceptance, unless further extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties; provided, nothing herein shall prohibit Developer from transferring the Property and/or Project to City after expiration of the ROFR or abridge City’s rights of approval of the proposed Transfer to a proposed transferee regardless of the ROFR. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 8.2 shall be voidable at the election of the City and this Agreement may be terminated by the City or the City may exercise any other remedy available to the City under the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that (i) the City shall first notify the Developer in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement or to exercise any other remedy, and (ii) the Developer shall have twenty (20) calendar days following its receipt of such written notice to commence and, thereafter, diligently and continuously proceed to cure the default of the Developer and submit evidence of the initiation and satisfactory completion of such cure to the City, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the City.
8.2.3 The Developer shall provide the City no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any proposed Transfer which the Developer desires to enter into prior to the recordation of a Certificate of Completion for the Project subject to the Transfer, other than a Permitted Transfer for which no notice shall be required. The Developer shall have the burden of demonstrating to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that the proposed Transfer meets the conditions and requirements of this Agreement with respect to Permitted Transfers
8.2.4 In connection with the City’s review of any request for approval of any proposed Transfer under Section 1.1.73 and this Section 8.2, or of any Lender or Loan under Section 6.3, the Developer agrees to reimburse the City for those third party costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with its review of the Developer’s request for approval, including, without implied limitation, the reasonable fees and costs of those outside consultants and legal counsel retained by the City to assist it in its review of the Developer’s request, including the City Attorney.
8.2.5 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the restrictions and prohibitions on Transfers contained in this Section 8.2 shall terminate upon issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the Project.
8.3 Notices, Demands and Communications Between the Parties.
8.3.1 Any and all notices, demands or communications submitted by any Party to another Party pursuant to or as required by this Agreement shall be proper, if in writing and dispatched by messenger for immediate personal delivery, by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified United States Mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the principal office of the City or the Developer, as applicable, as designated 105

8.7 Unavoidable Delay; Extension of Time of Performance.
8.7.1 Subject to specific provisions of this Agreement, performance by any Party under this Agreement shall not be deemed, or considered to be, in default where any such default is due to an Unavoidable Delay that is not attributable to the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to perform. An extension of time for any Unavoidable Delay shall be for the period of the Unavoidable Delay and shall commence to run from the date of occurrence of the Unavoidable Delay, if the Party asserting the existence of the Unavoidable Delay provides the other Parties with written notice of the occurrence of the Unavoidable Delay, within ten (10) days of the commencement of such asserted Unavoidable Delay. Otherwise, the extension of time for an Unavoidable Delay shall commence on the date of receipt of written notice of the occurrence of the Unavoidable Delay by the Parties not requesting an extension of time to perform due to such Unavoidable Delay.
8.7.2 The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that changes in either general economic conditions or changes in the economic assumptions of either of them that may have provided a basis for entering into this Agreement and that occur at any time after the execution of this Agreement, do not constitute an Unavoidable Delay and do not provide any Party with grounds for asserting the existence of an Unavoidable Delay in the performance of any covenant or undertaking arising under this Agreement. Each Party expressly assumes the risk that changes in general economic conditions or changes in such economic assumptions relating to the terms and covenants of this Agreement could impose an inconvenience or hardship on the continued performance of such Party under this Agreement.
8.8 Inspection of Books and Records. The City shall have the right at all reasonable times, at the City’s cost and expense, to inspect the books and records of the Developer pertaining to the Property and/or the Project. The Developer shall also have the right at all reasonable times, at the Developer’s sole cost and expense, to inspect the books and records of the City pertaining to the Property and/or the Project, to the extent relevant to the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall, however, constitute a waiver or modification of any right or privilege which any Party may have with respect to any document, statement, or other record, including, without implied limitation, the attorney-client privilege, the attorney-work product privilege, any privilege arising under any state or federal evidentiary code or rule, or any privilege or exclusionary right arising under any state or federal freedom of information or public records disclosure law. 107

8.11.3 None of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to be merged with any deed conveying title to the Property and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect before and after such conveyances.
8.11.4 All waivers of the provisions of this Agreement and all amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the authorized representative(s) of all Parties.
8.12 Execution of this Agreement. Following execution of three (3) originals of this Agreement by the authorized representative(s) of the Developer and prompt delivery of such originals, thereafter, to the City, accompanied by an official action of the governing body of the Developer authorizing the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of the Developer to execute and perform this Agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the City, this Agreement shall be subject to the review and approval by the City Council, in their sole and absolute discretion, no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after such date of delivery to the City. If the City have not approved, executed, and delivered an original of this Agreement to the Developer within the foregoing time period, then no provision of this Agreement shall be of any force or effect for any purpose.

The City Manager is hereby authorized by the City to enter into agreements and sign documents referenced in this Agreement or reasonably required to implement this Agreement on behalf of City, issue approvals, interpretations or waivers and enter into amendments to this Agreement on behalf of City.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF A TYPE 1 AMBULANCE
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 16, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council takes the following actions:
A. Authorize the purchase one Medix Metro Express 153 Type 1 Ambulance from Republic EVS of Santa Fe Springs, California in an amount not to exceed $313,600.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, the appropriation will be included in a future quarterly budget update.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In Spring of 2021, the Fire Department began experiencing significant ambulance delays and challenges with the City's private ambulance provider's ability to meet their contractual response time obligations. This was exacerbated by paramedic staffing shortages, COVID-19 illness, and ambulance patient offload delays at the local hospitals. This issue caused residents to have to wait for ambulance transport, in some cases up to an hour.
In an effort to mitigate delays, and continue to provide excellent service, the Fire Department leased two ambulances from neighboring fire agencies. On October 4, 2021, the Fire Department deployed an Alternate Transport Vehicles (ATV) to provide more efficient hospital transport. The ATV is dispatched on critical calls and to all working structure fires. Additionally, the ATV is authorized to transport critical patients when the private provider ambulance is delayed and the patient requires immediate transport to the hospital. Since October 2021, the Fire Department ATV has transported twenty citizens to the hospital. The lease agreements with these neighboring agencies are approaching termination (or have already terminated), and the purchase of the proposed ambulance will allow for the ATV program to continue.
Future options for the ambulance include activities such as providing surge when call volume 142
increases, community paramedicine, and other mobile integrated health programs. Since January 2021, the Fire Department has been researching the purchase of ambulances due to the age, condition, and agreement restrictions of the two leased ambulances. Due to the nationwide shortage of chassis and Intel chips, it was a challenge to find an ambulance that fit the needs of the Fire Department to purchase. However, in working with Republic EVS, they were able to provide the specifications that are unique to the Ontario Fire Department and provide the vehicle in a timely manner.
To meet the needs of the Ontario Fire Department, and due to nationwide supply chain shortages, Staff is recommending a sole source purchase through Republic EVS in an amount not to exceed $313,600.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to accept a three-year sub-grant award in the amount of $600,000 from the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security and the California Office of Emergency Services provided through the FY 2021 UASI Grant Program.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT: The City, through the Riverside Urban Area Security Initiative (RUASI) grant, has been awarded $600,000 to implement Facial Recognition Project and associated camera networks at the Ontario International Airport. The associated grant revenue and expenditure adjustments will be presented in the next quarterly budget report to the City Council. The City is not required to provide matching funds for this reimbursable grant.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The UASI program provides financial assistance to address multidiscipline planning, operations, equipment, training, and exercise needs unique to high-threat, high density urban areas, and to assist them in building and sustaining capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats or acts of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. The intent of the UASI program is to enhance regional preparedness and expand collaboration efforts.
The RUASI includes the cities of Riverside, San Bernardino and Ontario, and the counties of Riverside and San Bernardino. Projects are recommended for consideration by the RUASI Steering Group and local Approval Authority which are comprised of staff from the three cities and two counties. Recommendations are made based upon the ability to match project benefits the UASI program guidelines, which include a focus on regional coordination and collaboration. The 144
Riverside Regional UASI’s recommended projects are then subject to review and approval at the State and Federal levels. The City of Ontario, as a sub-recipient of the FY 2021 RUASI Grant, has been approved to receive $600,000 for the acquisition of a Facial Recognition Project for the purchase of recognition software and cameras.
The City is not obligated to continue with these grant programs beyond the equipment’s operational life. Upon termination of the programs, Staff will work with the City of Riverside Office of Emergency Services (the designated Riverside Regional UASI Administrative Entity) and the Department of Homeland Security to properly demobilize and surplus the equipment. 145

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a one-year Cost Sharing Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with the Chaffey Joint Union High School District for three school resource officers in the amount of $255,000.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT: The Police Department has assigned one School Resource Officer (SRO) at Chaffey High School, Colony High School, and Ontario High School. Chaffey Joint Union High School District (CJUHSD) has agreed to reimburse the City $255,000 for the school year, consistent with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The amount covers approximately 50% of the annual cost of three officers for the period of August 2022-May 2023. The General Fund includes appropriations for these costs in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The role an SRO serves at the various high schools has multiple benefits. In addition to providing a police presence at each high school, SRO's serve as positive role models for students, they foster student, faculty, staff and law enforcement interaction, and provide on-site crisis intervention. CJUHSD had agreed to enter into a one-year Cost Sharing Agreement in the amount of $255,000. Under this Agreement, the Ontario Police Department will provide SRO services at Chaffey, Colony, and Ontario High Schools to help maintain a safe and secure environment on these campuses.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a funding Agreement for Measure I funds with Omnitrans for Fiscal Years 2022-23 and 2023-24 in the amount of $675,582.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Ontario has been awarded a total of $675,582 from Omnitrans through Measure I funding. The funding will be provided over Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 and 2023-24. Upon approval, appropriations of $427,791 will be added to the FY 2022-23 Budget under General Fund Grants during the next Quarterly Budget Update. The remaining $247,791 will be added to the FY 2023-24 budget during the FY Budget Adoption. A General Fund cash match of $53,396 is required by this Agreement and will be absorbed into the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Ontario Silver S.T.A.R.S. (Senior Transportation and Recreation Shuttle) program is an appointment-based service that provides curb-to-curb transportation service. The purpose of the program is to provide transportation services for non-emergency medical needs such as doctor, dentist, dialysis, therapy, and other medical appointments.
Additionally, appointments can be made to schedule trips to and from the Ontario Senior Center.
Currently, this service is provided by the West End YMCA. West End YMCA has been a long-standing partner with the City of Ontario over the years, but have indicated their desire to withdraw from the provision of transportation services for the City of Ontario.
To ensure there is no disruption in services, the City of Ontario's Recreation & Community Services Department will operate this program with the support of Measure I funding from Omnitrans.
Omnitrans has the ability to provide Measure I funds to agencies for projects that improve mobility for persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and persons of low income. At this time, Omnitrans is the only other source of public transportation within the city limits. 147
The Ontario Silver S.T.A.R.S. program operates five (5) days per week (Monday - Friday). The program generally operates between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM, depending on the last participant to call and arrange their return trip on a given day. If approved, this program will expand the existing program by adding a second vehicle/route which is necessary to meet increased demand for this service, which has occurred over recent years. This funding provides the opportunity for the City of Ontario to hire two full-time drivers and purchase two vans, which doubles the capacity for the program. One van will be equipped with a wheelchair lift. The expanded program will also allow for transportation services to seniors residing in the Ontario Ranch area, providing transportation to both medical appointments and the Ontario Senior Center. 148

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file this report on State and Federal activities.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy 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: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
State Legislative Update
On June 29, 2022, California adopted a final $308 billion budget, the largest in state history. This came after the Governor negotiated several outstanding issues with the legislature and signed numerous budget-related bills that make up the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 State Budget. The Budget includes a $9.5 billion tax rebate program, $53.9 billion climate commitment and a $14.8 billion transportation infrastructure investment package, including funding for rail and transit projects, climate adaptation projects, active transportation projects, high-speed rail, and ports.
The Legislature reconvened from Summer Recess on August 1, 2022. Bills that have a fiscal impact will be considered in the Senate and Assembly Committees on Appropriations. August 31, 2022, marks the last day for each house to pass any remaining legislation. Staff expects that additional Budget Trailer bills will be introduced after the Summer. The Budget bills allocate funding, and the Trailer bills dictate policy related to funding. There is likely to be additional clean-up trailer bills this month. The City of Ontario received $4.5 million for safety improvements for parks, roads, and 149
youth services.
Federal Legislative Update
July 2022 was an extremely active month in Washington, DC as Congress worked to push through several key legislative items before the August recess. Progress was made on numerous policy fronts, including budget reconciliation, FY23 appropriations, and environmental resilience.
Staff worked diligently with the City's federal advocates on the Appropriations process. From the handful of projects submitted, one was selected for Active Seniors on the Go, and should be included in the final Appropriations agreement, if an agreement is reached this year.
As of the end of July the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate have each passed their respective Water Resource Development Acts (WRDA). Committees have already begun preconference negotiations for the biennial bill with a formal conference beginning in the fall. The bipartisan bill will likely be on the agenda for final passage in the lame duck session following the November election. Ontario stands to receive a $40.7 million authorization for various water projects. This provision, passed as part of the House bill has the support of the City's Delegation.
Staff will continue to advocate for its inclusion in the final bill.
The House and Senate have adjourned for summer recess and both chambers are set to return on September 6, 2022.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Amendment to the existing Master Agreement (on-file in the Records Management Department) with Oracle America, Inc. of Redwood Shores, California, to amend Peoplesoft incremental licensing fees (ILF) and renew the annual support with Oracle America, Inc through May 2023 for a total not-to-exceed of $273,097.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT: The Amendment to the existing Master Agreement will align the Oracle licensing cost to $175,559 and renew the technical support services to $97,538 through May 2023 for a total not-to-exceed Amendment amount of $273,097. These amounts will be funded through the Information Technology Fund. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations for the technical support services renewal. If approved, appropriations for the licensing alignment will be added to the FY 2022-23 1st Quarter Budget.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On May 1, 2001, the City Manager authorized a Software License Agreement with Oracle America, Inc for the Peoplesoft Financials Software Suite. The software license fees are based on the City's annual operating budget and increase incrementally as the budget increases. The City completed the implementation of Workday Financials in July 2022, and used Peoplesoft through the end of the Fiscal Year 2021-22, which ended June 30, 2022. The City will complete the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Comprehensive Financial Reporting (ACFR), the Annual Single Audit Report, and the State Controller Report, as well as other year-end financial reporting requirements in Peoplesoft by March 31, 2023, which requires the City to maintain the Oracle Peoplesoft license until these actions are complete. Staff requests authorization to extend the Oracle Agreement through May 31, 2023.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take the following actions:
A. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Construction Contract No. D&C21-004 with New Millennium Construction Services, Inc., of Chino Hills, California, for the City Hall First Floor Office Improvements Project for the construction of three new enclosed offices in the contract amount of $116,000;
B. Authorize a 10% contingency of $11,600 to address any unforeseen issues that may arise during construction; and
C. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all documents required for the completion of the project including, but not limited to, contracts, agreements, assessments, easements, reduction of retention accounts, and filing a notice of completion at the conclusion of all construction related activities.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy FISCAL IMPACT: The construction cost for the City Hall First Floor Office Improvements Project is $116,000, plus 10% contingency of $11,600, for a total not to exceed of $127,600. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $127,600 in the Capital Projects Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City Hall First Floor Office Improvements Project includes constructing three enclosed offices from existing spaces. This work will include framing/drywall, electrical, HVAC, acoustical ceiling, and flooring.
On May 13, 2022, Staff solicited bids for the City Hall First Floor Office Improvements Project. On June 3, 2022, Staff received four (4) construction bids ranging from $111,508 and $147,550 for the project. All the bids received are listed below:

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the Development Impact Fee Credit Agreement (File No. PDIF21-003) between the City of Ontario and KL LHB DSD AIV LLC, for facility construction associated with Tract Map 20399 (File No. PMTT21-007), located at the southeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Ontario Ranch Road within the Grand Park Specific Plan, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the proposed Development Impact Fee (“DIF”) Credit Agreement (File No. PDIF21-003) will result in no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. The project’s Development Agreement (File No. PDA17-001) and related Conditions of Approval (COA) for Tract Map 20399 (File No. PMTT21-007) require KL LHB DSD AIV LLC (“Developer”) to construct DIF Program infrastructure with an estimated cost of $2,868,256. The proposed DIF Credit Agreement defines the amount of DIF Credit that the Developer may be eligible to receive for construction of these improvements.
The DIF Credit that the Developer will receive upon completion of the improvements may be exchanged for a refund of DIF that was paid by the Developer (up to the Developer’s maximum DIF obligation) in the respective DIF category.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On December 5, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3086, approving a Development Agreement to establish the terms and conditions for the 154
development. On August 24, 2021, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC21-059, approving Tract Map 20399 to subdivide 24.51 acres of land into 30 numbered lots and 6 lettered lots.
Per the Development Agreement and COA, the Developer is required to construct DIF Program infrastructure to serve Tract Map 20399, which includes the construction and installation of storm drain, street improvements, traffic signals, and fiber optic facilities generally located along Ontario Ranch Road, Archibald Avenue, and Grand Park Street, within the Grand Park Specific Plan development area.
Pursuant to the City’s adopted DIF Credit policies, construction of DIF Program facilities requires the Developer and the City to enter into a DIF Credit Agreement (“Agreement”). The terms of the proposed Agreement specify the defined portion of the infrastructure to be constructed by the Developer in the Local Adjacent or Regional DIF categories and includes an estimate of the maximum DIF Credit (not reimbursement) that may be applied in the respective Local Adjacent or Regional DIF category. This infrastructure is within Ontario Ranch Local Adjacent Storm Drain, Streets, and Fiber Optic System categories. Since the maximum eligible costs in the Agreement for the required infrastructure exceeds the Developer’s DIF obligation, the Developer is eligible to receive DIF Credit under the proposed Agreement.
The proposed Agreement complies with the City’s DIF policies and is in conformance with the approved Development Agreement and related conditions. Under the provisions of the City’s DIF Program, the City Manager is authorized to execute such agreements upon approval by the City Council.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 2 (on file with the Records Management Department) to the Maintenance Services Agreement with CMAX Commercial Maintenance, Inc. of Ontario, California, in the amount of $70,000, increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $165,000 and extending the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2023, for the maintenance of commercial bin containers.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $70,000 in the Integrated Waste Fund for the maintenance of commercial bin containers. Actual expenditures will be based on the fixed-unit pricing and the actual quantity of bin containers maintained in order to meet operational needs. The recommended amendment extends the term of the Agreement to June 30, 2023 and increases the authorized contract amount by $70,000, for a new total not-toexceed contract amount of $165,000.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Integrated Waste Department currently has commercial bin containers of various sizes for refuse, recycling, and green waste recycling. On August 15, 2020, the City entered into a one-year Maintenance Services Agreement with CMAX Commercial Maintenance, Inc. to provide these services. At times, these containers require renovation and/or cleaning. Since then, CMAX Commercial Maintenance, Inc. met the expectations of the Integrated Waste Department and the Agreement term was extended for one year through June 30, 2022. Due to the growth of the Ontario Ranch, additional commercial bin container maintenance is needed.
Staff recommends increasing the total authorized amount by $70,000 for Fiscal Year 2022-23 to ensure the Integrated Waste Department can continue to maintain commercial bin containers in a timely manner and keep them clean and operational so they can provide services to the City of Ontario customers.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute Amendment No. 1 (on file with the Records Management Department) with Innovative Interfaces Incorporated, of Emeryville, California. This Amendment removes the cloud hosting and related fees and extends the term of the Agreement through July 2026, for a revised total not-toexceed amount of $223,234.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

FISCAL IMPACT: Amendment No. 1 changes the existing Agreement to a not-to exceed amount of $223,234 paid over a five (5) year term. Appropriations for year one, $42,230 are included within the Information Technology Fund in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget. Funding for the remaining years will be secured as part of the annual budget process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On November 16, 2021, the City Council approved an Agreement with Innovative Interfaces Incorporated for the use of their integrated library system (ILS). During the implementation, Staff from the Information Technology Agency identified concerns with the manner of how Staff would access the cloud-based system and established a solution with the vendor that includes hosting the software on-site. This change resulted in a reduced annual cost and the extension of the Agreement from three to five years.
Ontario City Library uses an integrated library system (ILS) to conduct library business. The ILS is an online searchable database of all library materials, as well as an online database of all library patron accounts. The ILS allows Library Staff and patrons to search for books, check them out, return them, and calculate any fees or fines associated with them. City Council’s approval is requested to approve and additional $5,545 over the initial Agreement amount, and add an 157
additional two-years to the Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take the following actions:

B. Authorize the City Manager or designee to accept $56,001 of funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act for the 2022-23 AmeriCorps Competitive Continuation Grant.
C. Authorize the City to cash match an in-kind commitment of $390,374.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost for the Ontario Promise Corps 2022-23 program is $822,374 of which $390,374 is funded through the General Fund as a cash match in-kind commitment, and $432,000 is reimbursed through other sources. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 adopted budget includes appropriations in the amount of $99,881 for in-kind services. If approved, the additional $722,493 will be added to the FY 2022-23 Budget in General Fund Grants. The reimbursable sources consist of the Competitive Continuation Grant award of $375,999 from AmeriCorps and $56,001 from AmeriCorps through funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). In addition, financial support of up to $91,111 is from program partners at Ontario-Montclair Schools Foundation and the Hope Through Housing Foundation that will offset the cash match.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On August 20, 2019, the City Council approved a twelve-month AmeriCorps State Planning Grant for the City of Ontario to develop a cradle-to-career collective impact program called Ontario Promise Corps. The program implements services that aim to improve school readiness, improve school attendance, and increase college access and success in the local community. The Planning Grant outlined activities that focus on AmeriCorps’ national 165
service focus area of education. These activities provide services that contribute to improving educational outcomes for economically disadvantaged children and youth. The Ontario Promise Corps program aims to recruit the equivalent to twenty (20) Full-Time AmeriCorps members per program year. The members assist in the operation of a one-on-one education program for lowincome and at-risk students, foster mentor-mentee relationships with participants and provide access to information and resources for higher education attainment to residents in the City of Ontario. The program provides these services through partnerships with Hope Through Housing Foundation, Ontario-Montclair Schools Foundation, Ontario City Library, and City of Ontario Recreation & Community Services. The AmeriCorps grant is administered on the state level by California Volunteers, an office of the State of California.
In 2020, the City of Ontario was awarded an AmeriCorps State Formula Grant to implement the strategies developed during the Planning Grant phase and were awarded AmeriCorps grants for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022.
This year, the Community Life & Culture Agency has been awarded $432,000 to continue the Ontario Promise Corps program, which includes $56,001 of ARPA funds. After the allocation of administrative fees paid to the granting agency, the City will receive a total of $424,484.
Furthermore, as a requirement of the grant, the City is responsible for a cash match of $390,374, which includes $99,881 of in-kind services, and up to $91,111 to be reimbursed by program partners. The program partner reimbursement amount is based upon the number of members that are recruited and assigned to the partner sites. Highlights of the grant budget include: a fulltime Administrative Specialist position that is 100% responsible for the day-to-day operations of the grant at a total annual cost of $96,414, twenty (20) AmeriCorps Members that will each receive a state-mandated living allowance set at $21,600 plus health care, miscellaneous office supplies, trainings, and equipment costs. This one-year grant supports AmeriCorps member service activities occurring from October 2022 through September 2023. A new application will be submitted in 2023 for funding beyond this one-year grant period.
The Community Life & Culture Agency requests that the Ontario City Council approve the execution of the 2022-2023 grant documents inclusive of the awarded ARPA funds, and City cash match for the 2022-2023 Ontario Promise Corps program year.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a Professional Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with A&N Technical Services, Inc. of Encinitas, California, for the 2022 Update to Ontario Ranch Residential Water Demand Factors project for a not-to-exceed amount of $114,475 and from a term of August 19, 2022 to April 28, 2023.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget for the Capital Improvement Program includes appropriations from the Water Capital Fund for this project. The recommended Agreement is for a not-to-exceed amount of $114, 475. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City’s water system currently produces approximately 33,000 acre-feet of potable water per year. Water demand factors (WDFs) are used to estimate future water demand projections throughout the City and are used in the Water Master Plan for evaluating current and future water supply, storage, transmission, and distribution infrastructure sizing.
Since the residential water use category is expected to have the largest growth due to future residential development remaining in Ontario Ranch, the scope of this project will specifically review residential water use in Ontario Ranch and update the WDFs for respective land use categories/housing types. Residential development in Ontario Ranch consists of higher density housing units with small yards, while other factors influencing water use include conservation efforts, changing cultural habits, and recycled water use. The project will include a statistical analysis and summary of available water use data to develop updated WDFs for planning purposes 167
and a comparative analysis of WDFs within other comparable water agencies.
On April 21, 2022, the City received the following four (4) qualified proposals through the City’s electronic bid management system in response to the Request for Proposal No. 1519.
Proposer Location
A&N Technical Services, Inc. Encinitas, CA
Dudek Encinitas, CA
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Pasadena, CA
Stetson Engineers, Inc. Covina, CA
A review team consisting of City staff reviewed the proposals and made their recommendations based upon qualifications, understanding of the City’s needs, history of completing similar projects, and other criteria specified in the RFP. After careful evaluation, A&N Technical Services Inc., of Encinitas, California, was selected as best overall qualified respondent. 168

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council take the following actions:
A. Approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an Amendment with Eclipse Printing & Graphics LLC, DBA James Litho, of Ontario, California, in the amount of $122,441.
B. Approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an Amendment with Public Advertising Agency Inc., of Murrieta, California, in the amount of $30,006.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Amendment No 1 to the printing services Agreement with James Litho extends the existing term through December 31, 2022 through the Winter 2022 issue of Ontario Living Magazine, and a not-to-exceed of $122,441. Of the total Amendment amount, $39,805 is for services rendered during the 2021-22 Fiscal Year which exceeded the purchase order (PO) amount. The overage amount was due to the cost per issue increasing over the years from the growing number of residential and business units that receive the printed magazine, along with the rising costs of paper due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The proposed Amendment No. 2 to the graphic design services Agreement with Public Advertising Agency also extends the existing term through the Winter 2022 issue until December 31, 2022. The not to exceed amount for the Amendment is $30,006. Of the total Amendment amount, $15,003 is for services rendered during the 2021-22 Fiscal Year which exceeded the PO amount. The overage was due to changes in design needs for the magazine during the 2021-22 Fiscal Year.
The Community Life & Culture Adopted Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget includes appropriations for 169
printing services and graphic design services related to Ontario Living Magazine and will pay for both the balance from the previous POs and the funds for both Amendments. No additional funding is being requested at this time.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: On August 20, 2019, the City Council approved Agreements with Eclipse Printing & Graphics dba James Litho and Public Advertising for printing services and graphic design services related to the Ontario Living Magazine. The magazine is a quarterly publication providing residents and businesses within Ontario with a comprehensive listing of all programs, classes, services and events offered by the Community Life & Culture Agency, (i.e., Recreation & Community Services, Ontario City Library, and Ontario Museum of History & Art), as well as City news, class registration information, City contact information, and other information on City departments and services. The City of Ontario prides itself in producing a comprehensive publication that provides a modern design and high-quality printing.
The existing Agreements expire with the publication of the Fall 2022 issue. These Amendments will extend the Agreements to the Winter 2022 issue, allowing appropriate time to complete the competitive bid processes as required and enter into a new Agreement with vendors to design and publish future issues of the publication.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the purchase of miscellaneous waterworks materials in the amount of $265,000 with United Water Works Inc. of Santa Ana, California; and $265,000 with Western Water Works Supply Co., of Chino Hills, California, for a total aggregate not-to-exceed amount for $530,000, at the set pricing levels per Bid No. 1537.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Water Operating Fund to cover the estimated annual cost of parts and supplies required for water system maintenance and repairs. Actual expenses will be based on parts ordered and material billing rates in the bid pricing. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City’s water distribution system contains over 600 miles of pipelines and appurtenances that the City maintains. This action will provide the materials for planned maintenance and emergency repairs due to sudden and unexpected system failures. The bid establishes pricing for specific parts and supplies needed for maintenance and repair of the water system.
In June 2022, the City solicited bids based on estimated annual quantities of the most common parts and materials used. On June 29, 2022, three bids were received through the City's electronic bid management system in response to Bid No. 1537.
Companies that submitted bids are as follows:
171
Vendor Name Location Amount
United Water Works Inc. Santa Ana $694,544.32
Western Water Works Supply Co. Chino Hills $817,510.66
Core & Main Perris $863,365.05
Staff reviewed the bids for responsiveness and pricing criteria. Based on the proposed unit pricing and estimated quantities, Staff recommends awarding the bid to United Water Works Inc., and Western Water Works Supply Co. By awarding these two suppliers, the City can obtain lower per unit pricing and better ensure the availability of items for emergency repairs to the City's water system.

Webb Associates Inc., of Riverside, California, for Well No. 53 in the notto-exceed amount of $566,006 and from a term of August 16, 2022 to August 16, 2025.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget for Capital Improvement Program includes appropriations in the amount of $566,006 from the Water Capital Fund for design services for Well No. 53. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City currently has seventeen (17) active groundwater wells. The Water Master Plan identifies the need for additional groundwater wells to expand existing water supply capacity and reliability to meet the future water demands of Ontario. Proposed Well No. 53 will be located on the southwest side of Doubleday Avenue, approximately 950 feet west of Dupont Avenue, on property currently owned by the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA) (See Figure 1). Pursuant to a separate agreement with the OIAA, the City can construct up to 4 wells on the eastern side of the airport. Well No. 43 is currently under construction and is the first well under the OIAA agreement with Well No. 53 being the second.
The project’s design will consist of two primary phases, drilling design and equipping design. The drilling design scope of work will include a preliminary design report (PDR) for the drilling of Well No. 53, which will include data collection, site evaluation, hydrological study, initial study of environmental impact, habitat suitability assessment, design survey for the project and geotechnical investigation. Once the PDR is approved, Consultant will proceed to complete a full set 173
of construction plans and specifications to drill and install the anticipated 750-1,000 foot deep well.
Once the well drilling construction phase has been completed, Consultant will proceed to the design phase of equipping Well No. 53. The design will consist of an aboveground masonry building, on-site sodium hypochlorite generation system, mechanical piping, electrical, HVAC, instrumentation, and landscaping. Consultant will prepare a complete plans and specifications construction package, including project construction schedule and estimated construction cost.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $4,714,934 in the Equipment Services Fund for the purchase of replacement vehicles, $400,000 in the Integrated Waste Fund for one additional vehicle, $315,000 in the Integrated Waste Impact Fund for one additional vehicle, $40,000 in the Facility Maintenance Fund for one additional vehicle, and $900,000 in the Water Operating Fund for three additional vehicles. The total cost of the vehicles recommended for purchase is $6,369,934.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The vehicles being recommended for replacement have outlived their useful life and it is no longer cost effective to maintain them. The vehicles are scheduled for replacement pursuant to ongoing efforts to reduce expenses, maximize useful life expectancy and extend replacement cycles of fleet equipment, while ensuring safe and reliable operations. This procurement action will result in the replaced vehicles being available to surplus, with any auction sale proceeds returning to the Equipment Service Fund.
The two vehicle additions requested by the Integrated Waste Department, one vehicle addition requested by the Facilities Maintenance Department, and three vehicle additions requested by the Utilities Department are a result of growth throughout the City.
In general conformation with the provisions of Government Code Section 54201 through 54204, Ontario Municipal Code Section 2-6.29 allows for the purchase of supplies and equipment through cooperative purchasing programs, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6502 and City of Ontario Resolution No. 91-141. Cooperative purchasing allows the City to pool its procurement power with other public agencies to obtain lower pricing than otherwise might be possible.

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 16, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 (on file with the Records Management Department) to the Cooperative Agreement with the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to further clarify the roles and responsibilities of SBCTA and the City of Ontario with regard to the management and insurance of the jointly owned property at the Ontario Metrolink Station.
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 Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations for property insurance under the General Liability internal services fund. The projected cost for FY 2022-23, will be approximately $4,000 and adequate funding is available. If approved, appropriations will be included in future operating budgets.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City of Ontario entered into Cooperative Agreement No. 93-062 (Contract No. 22-1002786) with SBCTA in May 1993 for the development, maintenance, and security of the commuter rail station (Station) located at the south side of Francis Street and Metroway in Ontario, CA. As part of the Cooperative Agreement, it was mutually negotiated that the City and SBCTA would hold title as tenants in common to all non-operating property associated with the site including security and maintenance of the property.
After a recent review of the Cooperative Agreement by City and SBCTA representatives, it was determined that an amendment was required to further clarify the responsibility of the parties with respect to the insurance of assets under the Cooperative Agreement and the apportionment of costs for said insurance.
179
The Amendment will require both parties to obtain and maintain real property insurance to cover the Station platforms and the canopies located at this site. SBCTA will secure the insurance and invoice the City for reimbursement of fifty percent (50%) of the cost, based on the insured values and premium for property insurance each fiscal year.
The Amendment will also include revisions related to California Public Utilities Code Section 130800 et. seq., also known as the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Consolidation Act of 2017, identifying SBCTA as the successor agency to SANBAG. 180

203
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
BACKGROUND: The City of Ontario’s General Plan, The Ontario Plan (“TOP”), was comprehensively updated in 2010. Since 1992, the City has adopted numerous general plan amendments (“GPA”), including the 1998 New Model Colony GPA, GPAs for the 2001, 2010, and 2013 Housing Element updates, and various project-related GPAs. The State General Plan guidelines recommend General Plans be updated every ten years. State law also requires housing elements to be updated every eight years. Since 2010, significant State and regional issues affecting the City have developed. An updated General Plan is needed to address these issues, meet state mandates, and guide the City through the year 2050 and towards a prosperous future.
Although General Plans and their basic content are mandated by the State, cities and counties have the option of organizing and expanding their content to meet the needs of their jurisdiction. TOP meets the state mandate of a General Plan and much more. In 2020, the City contracted with PlaceWorks to update the general plan and its component parts. PlaceWorks was tasked with preparing a General Plan update that will continue to remain relevant through time, function like a business plan, and provide a foundation for City governance. The state-mandated General Plan (the Policy Plan) is just one component of The Ontario Plan.
TOP Framework
The Ontario Plan serves as the framework for the City’s business plan and provides a foundation for the City to operate as a municipal corporation. TOP includes six key components: Vision; Governance Manual; Policy Plan; Council Priorities; Tracking and Feedback; and Implementation.
The Governance Manual and the Policy Plan are the only components that contain policies. Each individual policy has been crafted to support a goal but may also strengthen other goals and policies within other sections in the policy components. These policies were designed to be internally consistent and used together to guide the City’s actions.
Originally adopted in 2010, the Vision still provides a strong foundation for the TOP and only required minor modifications. The Governance Manual received minor refinements to reflect new information and available technologies that could improve municipal operations and decisionmaking.
The TOP 2050 Update focuses on technical updates to the Policy Plan to comply with State housing mandates and conform with new State laws related to community health, environmental justice, climate adaption, resiliency, and mobility. The majority of updates created through the proposed project weave refinements throughout the existing structure of the Policy Plan.
Three component parts were not revised as part of the TOP 2050 update, including Council Priorities, Implementation, and Tracking and Feedback. The Council Priorities are updated concurrently with the annual budgeting process. The Implementation Plan will be updated to reflect changes to the Policy Plan. The Tracking and Feedback component will be advanced and formalized through additional coordination and software improvements.
TOP components include the following:
204
The Vision describes the future community of Ontario. Its basic purpose is to state a clear and comprehensive picture of where the City wants to be in 2050. It is the rationale and motivation for everything the City does. The four points of the Vision include: Dynamic Balance, Prosperous Economy, Distinctive Development, and Recognized Leadership.
The Governance Manual describes the foundation for conducting the public’s business on behalf of the present and future people of Ontario. It explains how TOP is a tool for decisionmaking and communication. The Governance Manual is one of TOP’s two policy components.
It contains five sections: Decision-Making, Communication, Implementation, External Factors, and Municipal Finance.
The Policy Plan connects intent with action through a broad range of goals and policies that will guide the long-term growth and development required for the City to achieve its Vision. It also satisfies the California Government Code requirement for a General Plan. The Land Use Plan includes land use designations to guide and regulate land use patterns, distributions, densities, and intensities in the City, including residential, employment, retail, recreation, and public uses. The Policy Plan is one of two policy components of TOP and includes nine elements which are discussed below in the Policy Plan section.
Council Priorities define the short-term direction in City actions and initiatives. They are the primary means for exercising leadership in carrying out the TOP and realizing the Vision through the adoption of the annual Budget.
The Implementation component consists of short and mid-term actions taken to carry out TOP policies. These City actions include day-to-day activities, Capital Improvement Plan, master plans, and initiatives.
The Tracking and Feedback component allows the City to learn from experience and redirect efforts, as needed. Tracking and Feedback will inform decision-makers about progress toward the Vision, as well as track progress toward the Governance Manual, Council Priorities, Policy Plan, and Implementation components on a regular basis. Feedback will help inform the public about how the City is doing toward achieving TOP goals.
Public Participation
The Ontario Plan has been influenced by several fact-gathering processes and used to gain information and insight from a broad range of persons, professions, and the public. The factgathering and public participation process was broad and inclusive (See Exhibit "A" TOP 2050 Public Outreach Timeline).
PROJECT ANALYSIS
POLICY PLAN (GENERAL PLAN)
The Policy Plan and its elements include an introduction and purpose section to frame the component’s context and intent. Consistent with the intent for TOP to be a living document with long-term relevance, the Policy Plan and its nine elements contain high-level guiding principles which proclaim the fundamental concepts critical to achieving the Vision. Each element includes sections with an introduction, a goal, and policies, all of which sustain the Vision. The Policy Plan 205
elements include Land Use, Housing, Parks and Recreation, Environmental Resources, Community Economics, Safety, Mobility, Community Design, and Social Resources.
Intent. The Policy Plan stands alone but is strengthened by being a core component of the larger framework of TOP. The Policy Plan was designed to maintain relevance over time; therefore, it is principle-based and relies on implementation plans for details and actions.
Organization. The Policy Plan’s nine elements have been organized topically to best meet the City’s needs. Concepts that are critical to the Vision, like economic prosperity, complete community, sustainability, and environmental justice are woven throughout the nine elements. Integrating key concepts into each element reinforces them throughout the document. The seven-state mandatory elements are covered in one or more of the Policy Plan Elements. For instance, Noise is addressed in both Land Use and Safety. Open Space is addressed in Land Use, Parks and Recreation, Environmental Resources, and Mobility.

ANALYSIS OF POLICY PLAN ELEMENTS:
Land Use Element
The Land Use Element (Sections LU-1 to LU-5) guides and regulates land use patterns, densities, and intensities throughout the City, including residential, employment, retail, recreation, and public uses. It includes five sections: Balance, Compatibility, Flexibility, Phased Growth, and Airport Planning and provides policies that support environmental justice. This element provides for uses and development that add value to the community, in terms of function, design, and fiscal return.
The Land Use Plan was designed to provide certainty, flexibility, and accommodate the evolution of 206
development types. The Land Use Element is a key to the development of a physically diverse and complete community.
The Policy Plan Preferred Land Use Plan, Figure LU-01, establishes twenty land use designations within five major categories: Residential, Mixed-Use, Retail/Service, Employment, and Other. In addition, three Overlay Zones are also identified.
The Map does not assign a public designation to all publicly owned facilities. Only permanent existing public facilities, such as City Hall, Library, and existing schools are designated as Public Facility or Public School. Future and non-permanent public facilities, such as future schools, are designated with the appropriate underlying land use. As schools and other permanent public facilities are developed, those sites will be noted on the Map accordingly with an amendment to the Policy Plan Map.
Office uses can be found within the Mixed-Use, Retail/Service, and Employment categories. The Mixed-Use designation provides for a mix of residential, office, and retail uses.
The land use designations in the City will remain as designated under the current General Plan, with adjustments made to the projected land use mix and boundaries of the mixed-use areas. The Buildout Statistical Summary table provides a statistical summary of the buildout potential associated with the TOP 2050 Policy Plan compared to existing conditions and compared to the buildout potential under the currently approved TOP ("approved project" or "approved TOP").

Housing Element
The Housing Element (Sections H-1 to H-5 and the Housing Element Technical Report) provides direction for the production, preservation, and improvement of housing in Ontario. The Housing Element includes five sections: Neighborhoods & Housing, Housing Supply & Diversity, Governmental Regulation, Housing Assistance, and Special Needs. The Housing Element Technical Report assesses housing needs through demographic trends and projections.
The Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the General Plan, which each city and county in the State is required to periodically adopt (generally every eight years). The Housing Element is required to adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all 207
economic segments of the community. The Housing Element was prepared to address the 6th Cycle RHNA period from October 15, 2021, through October 15, 2029, and it was also updated to comply with recently adopted housing element law. The Housing Element is the only element of the General Plan reviewed and certified by the State to ensure compliance with State law.
The Housing Element adoption was separated from the balance of The Ontario Plan 2050 Update and was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on December 21, 2021 and was approved by the City Council on March 1, 2022. The Housing Element was submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) for review in November 2021, and March 2022. On both occasions, HCD requested revision and additional analysis of the document.
The Housing Element is the only element that includes implementation as part of the Policy Plan.
An adequate supply of housing is a key component of a complete and economically sustainable community. The City recognizes that economic growth is dependent on growing jobs and providing housing for our workforce. As such, central to the Housing Element’s goals and policies is the concept of matching the type and affordability of housing with the needs of the City’s current and future workforce.
The City’s RHNA allocation is defined in the Housing Element as Quantified Objectives. A summary of the housing implementation strategies that will be used, as well as the Quantified Objectives, are provided below:

COMMUNITY CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE (File No. PADV22-002):
Background. On December 16, 2014, the City of Ontario adopted its Community Climate Action Plan ("CCAP"), which was prepared in response to AB 32 (2006) the California Global Warming Solutions Act. AB 32 required the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") to adopt State-wide regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective greenhouse gas ("GHG") emission reduction measures to help mitigate risks associated with climate change, improve energy efficiency, expand the use of renewable resources and cleaner transportation, and reduce waste. These regulations, in the form of the AB 32 Scoping Plan adopted by CARB, laid out California's plan for achieving the required GHG reductions. However, the Scoping Plan identifies the measures the State will undertake and the expected GHG reductions associated with these measures, but the State does not have direct jurisdictional control over many of the activities that produce GHG emissions within the state. So, the AB 32 Scoping Plan identified local governments' responsibilities for achieving the State GHG reduction goals. To accomplish the identified GHG reduction measures, the City adopted its CCAP.
The CCAP was designed to comply with the direction of AB 32 and associated implementation 210
programs while attempting to distribute the GHG reduction strategies evenly across the full spectrum of GHG generating activities. It was a comprehensive approach to all sectors of the community to participate and implement feasible strategies to reduce GHG emissions generated within the City consistent with statewide GHG emission reduction efforts. Where possible, it encouraged the implementation of voluntary programs and incentives to achieve the City's GHG reduction goals.
The CCAP consists of 1) an inventory of GHG emissions that identifies and quantifies existing emissions and projected future emissions, 2) a reduction target to reduce existing GHG emissions to 30 percent below business as usual (BAU) year 2020 projected levels, 3) policies and measures to reduce existing emissions to meet the reduction target consistent with the adopted TOP EIR, and 4) streamlined environmental review – with respect to GHG emissions – for development projects that are consistent with the CCAP.
The CCAP was intended to be a dynamic program, in that it required implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation. Its emission reduction measures were organized by the following:
State and regional measures include adopted, implemented, and proposed state and regional measures that do not require additional City action and that will result in quantifiable GHG emission reductions in the inventory.
Local measures include community-wide quantifiable measures that would further reduce GHG emissions for the City.
Performance standards for new development, providing a streamlined and flexible program for new residential and non-residential projects to reduce their emissions.
The implementation of the 2014 CCAP resulted in a per capita GHG emissions steady decline from 2008 levels. Per capita emissions in Ontario decreased from approximately 8.25 MTCO2e in 2008 to approximately 5.55 MTCO2e per person in 2019, a decrease of 33 percent. Overall sectors showed emissions decrease with four sectors experiencing the largest decreases in annual GHG emissions between 2008 and 2019 - land use and sequestration, agriculture, water and wastewater, and nonresidential energy, which reduced emissions by 77 percent, 75 percent, 56 percent, and 54 percent, respectively.
Community Climate Action Plan 2022 Update. The 2022 CCAP is the City's strategic plan to reduce GHG emissions and foster a sustainable community through 2050 and beyond. TOP directs the preparation, ongoing implementation, and update of the CCAP, providing the framework for the City to reduce its community wide GHG emissions in a manner consistent with the adopted state reduction target for 2030 and the longer-term goals for 2045 and 2050. The CCAP allows for City decision-makers, staff, and the community to understand the sources and magnitude of local GHG emissions, reduce GHG emissions, and prioritize steps to achieve GHG emission-reduced targets.
The 2022 CCAP is consistent with the CEQA Guidelines for the reduction of GHG emissions. This allows the CCAP to support and streamline environmental review of GHG emissions for future development projects and serves as the programmatic tiering document for review of the climate change impacts of projects under CEQA and is included in the SEIR for the TOP 2050 Update. 211
The 2022 CCAP is an update of the 2014 CCAP, providing updated analyses and background information, an expanded set of GHG reduction strategies, and a planning horizon out to 2050. It contains an inventory of the community's GHG emissions from the transportation, energy, waste, off-road equipment, agriculture, water and wastewater sectors, land use sequestration, stationary sources, and goals strategies and actions to address climate change adaptation and GHG emissions. The CCAP also presents a work plan for the City to implement strategies and track progress over time.
In conjunction with existing and planned local and State programs, these updated strategies provide a flexible path to reduce the community’s GHG emissions to meet the City’s 2030 and 2050 emission targets and to support the State’s adopted target for 2030 and its goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. The City’s GHG reduction targets for reduced emissions are as follows:
Per Capita GHG Emission
Targets
TARGET 2030 Per Capita 2050 Per Capita
State 6.0 MTCO2e per person 2.0 MTCO2e per person
City Strategies with All
Reductions
3.52 MTCO2e per person 1.31 MTCO2e per person
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) has been prepared for The Ontario Plan and addressed the following areas that may have a potentially significant impact on the environment between the adopted Plan and the proposed Project (2050 Update). These areas included: Aesthetics, Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire. Through the EIR process, these potential impacts were analyzed, revisions were incorporated into the plan and/or mitigation measures were identified that reduced the potential environmental impacts to a level that was less than significant. Of the 20 areas analyzed by the SEIR, all but four of the impact areas were mitigated to a level of less than significant. The four remaining impact areas, even with the mitigation measures, could not be reduced to less than significant and the impacts would remain significant, unavoidable, and adverse after mitigation measures are applied. These areas include:
Air Quality – Buildout of The Ontario Plan will cumulatively contribute to the nonattainment designations of the South Coast Air Basin ("SoCAB"), create short-term emissions from construction activities that exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District's ("AQMD") regional significance thresholds and cumulatively contribute to the nonattainment designations, generate long-term emissions that would exceed SCAQMD’s regional significance thresholds and cumulatively contribute to the SoCAB nonattainment designations, and could expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of toxic air contaminants ("TAC");
Cultural Resources – Although protective regulations are in place and preservation policies are included in The Ontario Plan, implementation of the proposed Land Use Plan has the 212
potential to impact Tier III historic resources. Major modification or demolition of Tier III resources may be appropriate under certain circumstances; Noise – Buildout of the Proposed Land Use Plan will result in impacts related to the proximity of construction activities to sensitive users, construction vibration impacts from individual development projects, and from excessive airport-related noise and noise-related impacts from traffic on local roadways and construction activities in the City. These activities will substantially increase noise levels and affect noise-sensitive uses; and Transportation – Total vehicle miles traveled ("VMT") would increase under the Proposed Land Use Plan due to increased residential development. Future development projects will need to consider transportation demand management ("TDM") measures consistent with the Mobility Element.
The City of Ontario circulated the Draft SEIR on May 9, 2022, through June 23, 2022, for public review. At the end of the public review period 43 comments were received. Areas of concern include loss of agricultural land, environmental impacts associated with warehouse development, and a request for a warehouse moratorium. Refer to the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR), Section 2. Response to Comments.
While these impacts will be significant and unavoidable, the Staff believes that the benefits of The Ontario Plan outweigh the potential unavoidable, adverse impacts of the plan. As a result, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations for those impacts that could not be fully mitigated to a level of less than significant.
Furthermore, to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MM&RP) has been prepared for the Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15097. The MM&RP which specifies the responsible agencies/departments, monitoring frequency, timing and method of verification and possible sanctions for non-compliance with mitigation measures. The environmental documentation for this project is available for public review at the Planning Department public counter.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On July 26, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the entire oral and written record for the project. A total of six members of the public provided comments and expressed that the project DSEIR and CCAP requires more review time, were concerned about the loss of agricultural land, and requested the creation of a permanent agricultural preserve. After considering all public testimony, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend the Council 1) certify the SEIR, including adoption of the Statement of Overriding Considerations and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; 2) adopt the TOP 2050 update General Plan Amendment; and 3) adopt the update to the Community Climate Action Plan. 213
