SECTION:
SPECIAL CEREMONIES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council proclaim the Ontario Museum of History & Art as an accredited museum.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The American Alliance of Museums has been bringing museums together since 1906. They help develop standards and best practices, gather and share knowledge, and advocate on issues of concern to the entire museum community. The American Alliance of Museums represents more than 35,000 individual museum professionals, volunteers, institutions, and corporate partners serving the museum field.
In November 2023, the Ontario Museum of History & Art was notified of its successful application to become an accredited museum. Accreditation is a rigorous but highly rewarding process that examines all aspects of a museum’s operations. To earn accreditation a museum must first conduct a year of self-study, and then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers.
Museum staff and the Museum Board of Trustees began diligently developing and implementing key documents, procedures, and best practices over five years ago, in anticipation of the application process. City staff from across departments, the Museum Associates, community volunteers and key external stakeholders worked in collaboration with Museum staff and the Museum Board of Trustees to ensure the Museum was well-prepared for the examination and site assessment.
The American Alliance of Museum's Accreditation Commission, an independent and autonomous body of museum professionals, considers the self-study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation.
10 Accreditation by The American Alliance of Museums is the highest national recognition offered to the nation’s museums. Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, to governments, funders, outside agencies, and to the museum-going public. Of the nation’s estimated 33,000 museums, over 1,080 are currently accredited. The Ontario Museum of History & Art is one of only 78 museums accredited in California.
On May 18, from 6PM to 9PM, the museum will celebrate the accomplishment of becoming an accredited museum during the Ontario Art Walk. Attendees can explore the Museum, support artisan vendors, shop at the Museum store, and participate in a workshop led by artists and creative strategist Danielle Giudici. Visit ontariomuseum.org for more information or contact the Museum directly at 909-395-2510.

PROCLAMATION OF THE ONTARIO MUSEUM OF HISTORY & ART
AS AN ACCREDITED MUSEUM
WHEREAS, the Ontario Museum of History & Art is a community resource with a mission to be a vibrant cultural resource for our diverse communities that advances an understanding of regional history and art; and
WHEREAS, the work of the Ontario Museum of History & Art highlights the fact that the museum is a cornerstone of the community, providing opportunities for all to engage in the joy of life-long learning and creating, by connecting with the thoughts and ideas of others from ages past to the present; and WHEREAS, the Ontario Museum of History & Art enables the City of Ontario to be a destination for arts & culture in the region by providing dynamic exhibits, programs, and original research that fosters civic identity and inspires residents, and preserves our historic legacy as stewards preserving its collections; and
WHEREAS, the American Alliance of Museums develops standards and best practices for the nation’s museums and recognizes excellence to the museum community by awarding accreditation only to institutions that meet those best practices.
NOW THEREFORE, the City of Ontario, its City Council and staff members do declare the Ontario Museum of History & Art an accredited museum and urges everyone to join the museum on Saturday, May 18th from 6 PM to 9 PM during Ontario Art Walk, to celebrate this national distinction and learn more about why having an accredited museum makes our community great. 12 ONTARIO CITY COUNCIL/

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider and:
A
.
Accept written petitions (on file with the Records Management Department) from LS- ONTARIO II LLC, AG EHC II (LSEA) CA 2, L.P., and Landsea Homes of California LLC ("Landowners"), to
create a Community Facilities District, and to waive certain procedural matters, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982; B
.
Adopt a Resolution of Intention to establish a Community Facilities District proposed to be named City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 71 (Neuhouse Phase 2) and to authorize the levy of a special tax therein; and set a public hearing for the formation of the Community Facilities District as part of the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 2, 2024; and
C
.
Adopt a Resolution Declaring it Necessary for City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 71 (Neuhouse Phase 2) to Incur Bonded Indebtedness.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:
The use of Mello-Roos financing in the Neuhouse Phase 2 residential development is projected to generate approximately $415,627 per year, at build-out, to fund administrative fees and municipal services; and approximately $15.9 million in bond proceeds to be used to fund a 21 portion of the public infrastructure improvements needed to serve the project. Mello-Roos bonds are not a direct obligation of the City and are paid from special taxes levied on each taxable parcel in the district; therefore, there is no fiscal impact on the General Fund from the issuance of Mello- Roos bonds. City Council approval will be required to process annual special tax levies in future years.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 provides local government, with the consent from a majority of the property owners, the authority to establish community facilities districts for the purpose of levying special taxes to finance various kinds of public infrastructure facilities and municipal services. Municipal services that may be funded by a community facilities district include: police protection services, fire protection and suppression services, ambulance and paramedic services, maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads and open space, flood and storm drain protection services, maintenance and operation of fiber optic telecommunication, wireless communication and public safety camera systems and maintenance and operation of any real property or tangible property with an estimated useful life of five or more years that is owned by the governmental entity. Under the Mello-Roos Act, the initial steps in forming a community facilities district to finance public improvements and municipal services are to adopt a Resolution declaring the intention to establish a community facilities district, authorize the levy of special taxes, and issue bonds.
In the First Amended and Restated Agreement for the Financing and Construction of Limited Infrastructure Improvements to Serve an Easterly Portion of the New Model Colony (“First Amended and Restated Construction Agreement”) between the City of Ontario and NMC Builders, LLC, the City agreed to cooperate with the members of NMC Builders, LLC in the formation of community facilities districts to assist in the financing of the public improvements included in the Agreement.
LS-ONTARIO II LLC, AG EHC II (LSEA) CA 2, L.P., and Landsea Homes of California LLC have provided written petitions to the City requesting formation of a community facilities district, along with a deposit pursuant to a Deposit Agreement dated June 1, 2023, to be used to pay costs incurred in creating the Community Facilities District and the incurrence of bonded indebtedness, and provides for the repayment to LS-ONTARIO II LLC from the proceeds from any bonded indebtedness by the Community Facilities District.
The Neuhouse Phase 2 project addresses the development of two zones. Zone 1 is appr
oximately 9.18 gross acres located west of Mill Creek Avenue, east of Twinkle Avenue, south of Chino Avenue, and north of Schaefer Avenue, and Zone 2 is approximately 19.73 gross acres located w
est of Haven Avenue, east of Clover Place, south of Riverside Drive, and north of Chino Avenue. At build-out, the project is expected to include 335 residential units, comprised of 144 attached units in Zone 1, and 191 units in Zone 2 (96 attached and 95 detached).
Included, as part of the Resolution of Intention is the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the District. Under the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment, the portion of the maximum annual special tax rates which will be used to fund debt service payments on the bonds is fixed and will not increase over time. As proposed, the amount of bonds authorized for the District ($65 million) is set intentionally higher than the current estimated bond amount (approximately
$15.9 mil
lion) in order to allow future City Council, the option, without increasing the amount of the annual special taxes, to issue additional bonds to replace and/or construct new public infrastructure improvements in the future, or to fund municipal services. The term and structure of the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the Neuhouse Phase 2 22 project is consistent with those of previously adopted Rates and Methods of Apportionment for Ontario Ranch community facilities districts. This ensures that the special tax rates levied on all residential property owners in community facilities districts in Ontario Ranch are developed in a consistent and equivalent manner. In addition, under the provisions of the Mello-Roos Act, to ensure that home buyers are making an informed decision, all residential builders in the Ontario Ranch community facilities districts will be required to disclose the maximum annual special tax amount to each homeowner before entering into a sales contract.
List of infrastructure to be financed:
Storm Drain System Facilities
Streets and Traffic Circulation System Facilities
Fiber Optic System Facilities
City Staff has discussed the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax with the landowners. As proposed, the Resolution of Intention to establish the Community Facility District and to levy special taxes will set a public hearing date on the formation of the community facilities district for the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, to consider the matter.

WHEREAS, the City desires to include in this Resolution, in accordance with Section 53314.9 of the Act, the proposal to repay funds pursuant to the Deposit Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ontario as follows:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the City Council so finds and determines.
Section 2. The City Council hereby finds that the Petitions are signed by the landowners owning the requisite area of land proposed to be included within the Community Facilities District and not proposed to be exempt from the Special Tax.
Section 3. The City Council proposes to establish the Community Facilities District under the terms of the Act. The boundaries of the territory proposed for inclusion in the Community Facilities District are described in the map showing the proposed Community Facilities District (the “Boundary Map”) on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City (the “City Clerk”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, which boundaries are hereby preliminarily approved and to which map reference is hereby made for further particulars. The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original Boundary Map and record, or cause to be recorded, the Boundary Map with all proper endorsements 25 3
4153-1026-7721.2
thereon in the office of the San Bernardino County Recorder within 15 days of the date of adoption of this Resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the California Streets and Highways Code.
Section 4. The name proposed for the Community Facilities District is “City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 71 (Neuhouse Phase 2).” Section 5. The public facilities (the “Facilities”) proposed to be financed by the Community Facilities District pursuant to the Act are described under the caption “Facilities” on Exhibit B hereto, which is by this reference incorporated herein.

Section 6. The City Council proposes that, except where funds are otherwise available, the Community Facilities District be authorized to annually levy within the Community Facilities District a special tax (the “Special Tax”) sufficient to pay for all Facilities and Services, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all nonexempt real property in the Community Facilities District. The rate, method of apportionment and manner of collection of the Special Tax in sufficient detail to allow each landowner or resident within the proposed Community Facilities District to estimate the maximum amount that he or she will have to pay, is specified in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (the “Rate and Method”) attached hereto as Exhibit C, which is by this reference incorporated herein. The conditions under which the obligation to pay the Special Tax to be levied to pay for Facilities may be prepaid and permanently satisfied are specified in the Rate and Method. The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as the City Council shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners.
Section 7.

Section 10. The City Council hereby fixes Tuesday, July 2, 2024, at 6:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the City Council may reach the matter, at 303 East B Street, Ontario, California, as the time and place when and where the City Council will conduct a public hearing on the establishment of the Community Facilities District; provided, that, in the event the July 2, 2024 City Council meeting is held via teleconference and/or videoconference only, the means by which the public may observe such public hearing and offer public comment shall be prescribed in the notice and agenda for such City Council meeting.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances shall Special Tax A levied in any Fiscal Year on any Assessor’s Parcel of Single Family Property or Other Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased as a result of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other Assessor’s Parcel or Assessor’s Parcels within CFD No. 71 by more than ten percent above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
50 City of Ontario CFD No. 71 15 April 17, 2024
2. Special Tax B
Each Fiscal Year, beginning with Fiscal Year 2024-25, the CFD Administrator shall determine the Special Tax B Requirement. The Special Tax B shall then be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax B for such Assessor’s Parcel, until the Special Tax B Requirement is satisfied. However, the Special Tax B levied in any Fiscal Year shall not increase by more than 4.0% of the amount of the Special Tax B levied in the prior Fiscal Year.
E. EXEMPTIONS
In Tax Zone 1, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to 3.06 Acres of Property Owner Association Property. In Tax Zone 2, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to 4.25 Acres of Public Property and up to 4.22 Acres of Property Owner Association Property. Tax- exempt status in each Tax Zone will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property or Property Owner Association Property.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax A under this section shall be subject to the levy of Special Tax A and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fifth or sixth step, respectively, in Section D above, up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public Property. No Special Tax A shall be levied in any Fiscal Year on Assessor’s Parcels that have fully prepaid the Special Tax A obligation pursuant to the formula set forth in Section H.
No Special Tax shall be levied on Lower Income Household Welfare Exemption Property; provided, however, that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that Lower Income Household Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from some portion, or all, of the Special Tax, such portion, or all, of the Special Tax shall be levied on such property in accordance with this Rate and Method of Apportionment based on the Land Use Class to which the Assessor’s Parcel is assigned.
F. APPEALS
Any property owner may file a written appeal of the Special Tax with CFD No. 71 claiming that the amount or application of the Special Tax is not correct. The appeal must be filed not later than one calendar year after having paid the Special Tax that is disputed, and the appellant must be current in all payments of Special Taxes. In addition, during the term of the appeal process, all Special Taxes levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made.
The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error.
The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination.
51 City of Ontario CFD No. 71 16 April 17, 2024
If the property owner disagrees with the CFD Administrator’s decision relative to the appeal, the owner may then file a written appeal with the City Council whose subsequent decision shall be final and binding on all interested parties. If the decision of the CFD Administrator or subsequent decision by the City Council requires the Special Tax to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, then the CFD Administrator shall determine if sufficient Special Tax revenue is available to make a cash refund. If a cash refund cannot be made, then an adjustment shall be made to credit future Special Tax levy(ies).
This procedure shall be exclusive and its exhaustion by any property owner shall be a condition precedent to filing any legal action by such owner.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the Special Taxes may be collected in such other manner as the City Council shall determine, including direct billing of affected property owners.
H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX A
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
“CFD Public Facilities” means $17,673,000 for each Prepayment Period, or such lower number as determined by the City Council to be sufficient to fund the Facilities and Services to be provided by CFD No. 71.
“Expenditures Fund” means funds or accounts, regardless of their names, that are established to hold moneys that are available to acquire or construct Facilities and to fund Services.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus (i) Facilities and Services costs previously paid from the Expenditures Fund during the Prepayment Period in which the prepayment is being made, (ii) moneys currently on deposit in the Expenditures Fund from deposits made during the Prepayment Period in which the prepayment is being made, and (iii) moneys currently on deposit in an escrow fund that are expected to be available to finance Facilities costs. In no event shall the amount of Future Facilities Costs be less than zero.
“Prepayment Period” means one of three periods of time during which a Special Tax prepayment may be made.
“Prepayment Period 1” means July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2058.
“Prepayment Period 2” means July 1, 2058, through June 30, 2091.
“Prepayment Period 3” means July 1, 2091, through June 30, 2125.
52 City of Ontario CFD No. 71 17 April 17, 2024
Only Special Tax A may be prepaid; Special Tax B shall continue to be levied on an annual basis on all Developed Property in CFD No. 71.
1. Prepayment in Full
The obligation of an Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A may be prepaid as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only for Assessor’s Parcels for which a building permit for new construction was issued after January 1, 2023, and only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax A obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a fee for providing this service. Prepayment in any six month period must be made not less than 45 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Total Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Special Tax A Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated by the CFD Administrator as follows:
Paragraph No.
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel, and determine the Prepayment Period for the proposed prepayment.
2. Compute the Assigned Special Tax A and Backup Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel to be prepaid based on the Developed Property Special Tax A which is, or could be, charged in the current Fiscal Year. For Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property (for which a building permit has been issued but which is not yet classified as Developed Property) to be prepaid, compute the Assigned Special Tax A and Backup Special Tax A for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor’s Parcel. 53 City of Ontario CFD No. 71 18 April 17, 2024
3. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax A computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the total estimated Assigned Special Tax A for CFD No. 71 based on the Developed Property Special Tax A which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all expected development through buildout of CFD No. 71, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid, and
(b) Divide the Backup Special Tax A computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the estimated total Backup Special Tax A at buildout of CFD No. 71, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have been prepaid.
4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 4 by the applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price minus 100%), if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Compute the Future Facilities Costs for the applicable Prepayment Period.
7. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the amount determined pursuant to Paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Determine the Special Tax A levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 8 and 9 to determine the “Defeasance Amount”.
11. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 71, including the costs to compute the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs to redeem Bonds, and the costs to record any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
12. If reserve funds for the Outstanding Bonds, if any, are at or above 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) on the prepayment date, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to the prepayment (the “Reserve Fund Credit”). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if reserve funds are below 100% of the reserve requirement on the prepayment date or the redemption date.
54 City of Ontario CFD No. 71 19 April 17, 2024
13. The Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11, less the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 12 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 4, 5, 10, and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the Expenditures Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 11 shall be retained by CFD No. 71.
The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000, or integral multiple thereof, will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax A levy as determined under Paragraph 9 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax A levy for such Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid during Prepayment Period 3, the CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act to indicate that Special Tax A has been prepaid and that the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay Special Tax A shall cease.
With respect to Special Tax A for any Assessor’s Parcel that is prepaid during Prepayment Period 1 or Prepayment Period 2, the obligation of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay Special Tax A shall be tolled, or suspended, through the end of such Prepayment Period, but shall resume in the first Fiscal Year of the subsequent Prepayment Period.
The CFD Administrator shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act to indicate that Special Tax A has been satisfied for the remainder of the applicable Prepayment Period but has not been permanently satisfied and the obligation to pay Special Tax A will resume in the first Fiscal Year of the Prepayment Period following the Prepayment Period in which the prepayment was made. Once the obligation of an Assessor’s Parcel to pay Special Tax A resumes, Special Tax A for the then applicable Prepayment Period may be prepaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 71 (after excluding 4.25 Acres of Public Property and 7.28 acres of Property Owner Association Property) both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax A on an Assessor’s Parcel for which a building permit for new construction was issued after January 1, 2023, may be partially prepaid. The amount of 55 City of Ontario CFD No. 71 20 April 17, 2024
the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated by the CFD Administrator according to the following formula:
PP = (PF – AE) x % + AE.
The terms above have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PF = the Prepayment Amount (full prepayment) for Special Tax A calculated according to Section H.1
AE = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to paragraph 11 above % = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying Special Tax A
The Special Tax A partial prepayment amount must be sufficient to redeem at least a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of such owner’s intent to partially prepay Special Tax A and the percentage by which Special Tax A shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of Special Tax A for an Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request and may charge a fee for providing this service. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the remitted prepayment funds according to Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 71 that there has been a partial prepayment of Special Tax A and that a portion of Special Tax A with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (100% - “%”, as defined above) of the Maximum Special Tax A, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section D during the Prepayment Period in which the partial prepayment is made.
For partial prepayments made during Prepayment Period 1 or Prepayment Period 2, the full amount of Special Tax A shall resume in the first Fiscal Year of the Prepayment Period following the Prepayment Period in which the partial prepayment was made.
Once the obligation of an Assessor’s Parcel to pay Special Tax A resumes, Special Tax A for the then applicable Prepayment Period may be prepaid.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Fiscal Year after which no further Special Tax A shall be levied or collected is Fiscal Year 2124-2125, except that Special Tax A that was lawfully levied in or before such Fiscal Year and that remains delinquent may be collected in subsequent years. Special Tax B shall continue to be levied indefinitely on an annual basis on all Developed Property in CFD No. 71.

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution ordering the summary vacation of an easement for railroad purposes located east of Cucamonga Avenue and north of Francis Street.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
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 not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action. The City did not pay to acquire the subject easement. The Developer has paid the applicable processing fees to defray any City cost to process this request.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The applicant, Rexford Industrial-1555 Cucamonga LLC, has requested that the City vacate an existing easement for railroad purposes, as shown on Exhibit 1, to facilitate the development of the area. The easement is not needed for any present or future public railroad purposes. There currently are no existing public improvements within the easement and the easement is determined to be excess. Further, the railroad easement does not exist to the north or south and is necessary for railroad circulation in the area.
Section 8333(c) of the California Streets and Highways Code authorizes the City to summarily vacate (by Resolution with no public hearing) a public service easement that has been superseded by relocation or determined to be excess, and there are no public facilities located within the easement.
This summary vacation meets the California Government Code, Streets and Highways Code, and Ontario Municipal Code, and has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. 64 65

SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council a
uthorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a
Quitclaim Deed to Lennar Homes of California, LLC, for fee title ownership transfer of Lot A and Lot C of Parcel Map 19787.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not a direct fiscal impact associated with this action. Lennar Homes of California, LLC (Developer) has paid the applicable processing fees at its sole cost.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Final Parcel Map No. 19787, consisting of four numbered parcels and three lettered parcels on approximately 77 acres of land (see Exhibit A) was recorded on February 20, 2020. Lot A and Lot C were dedicated to the City of Ontario for landscape buffer purposes.
Because the letter lots did not provide any points of access to the property, the site was essentially land-locked. To remedy this situation, fee title ownership of said lots is being replaced with easements to the City. This provides flexibility for the developer and the City for future development of the site. Further, the City shall reserve all the required easements to provide access for maintenance responsibility of the area.

Along with the expansion of communication has come greater responsibility and the need for specialized expertise in managing these endeavors. CMMC has provided key guidance in shaping the City’s communication and marketing strategies.

Staff recommends increasing the total authorized contract amount and extension the contract term with CMMC.

OntarioNet will provide secure, reliable, and high bandwidth connectivity for OMUC's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) operation system and Information Technology connectivity for surveillance property protection of the City's water production infrastructure. The surveillance property protection will include cameras and access control which will provide a level of accountability for security and integrate into the Ontario Police Department's Real-Time Information Center.
The City has purchased all conduit, fiber, network, and wireless components such as fiber optic cable, conduit, handholes, network switches, etc. HP Communications, LLC collects the materials from the City's warehouse and provides the labor to complete the assigned work. Having the material and equipment on hand at the time of construction schedules lessens supply chain delays 177
for fiber optic material and network equipment procurement and eliminates costly overhead and markup charges.
City Staff recommends approving Change Order No. 1 to continue these services and City facility growth provided by HP Communications, LLC.

A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SWA GROUP FOR THE
PREPARATION OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE GRAND
PARK PROJECT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
May 21, 2024
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council take the following actions:
A
.
Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a Professional Services Agreement with SWA Group, of Laguna Beach, California, for the preparation of the design and construction documents for the Grand Park Project for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $5,972,996; and
B
.
Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all documents required for the completion of the project including, but not limited to agreements, assessments, easements, lot line adjustments, reduction of retention accounts, contracts and contract amendments within the authorization limits, and filing a notice of completion at the conclusion of all construction related activities.
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
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Professional Services Agreement with SWA Group is a total amount not-to-exceed $5,972,996. The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Park Impact Fund for the preparation of design and construction documents for the Grand Park Project.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
In December 2021, the City Council approved the conceptual master plan and the preliminary park design for Phase 1 of Grand Park. Phase 1 builds upon the framework established in the conceptual park master plan and is comprised of approximately 130 acres of land and occurs within the eastern portion of Ontario Ranch. This phase is bordered by 184
Grand Park Street to the north, Eucalyptus Avenue to the south, Haven Avenue on the east and Archibald Avenue on the west. This portion of the park incorporates a central arroyo as drainage, meadows, fields as dual-use and a hierarchy of trail systems. Park amenities are proposed in the center of this phase, which include a “Market Alley” where farmer’s markets, food trucks, and community events can be organized. There are plans for a community barn and farm hub, kid’s corral (a children’s playground), and an amphitheater along the central plaza.
On June 15, 2023, Staff released a Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) to qualified companies for a Design-Build approach to design and build Grand Park. Two companies met the RFPQ qualifications.
On January 23, 2024, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was released to the two companies who qualified from the RFPQ. However, with only one company submitting a proposal, the City Attorney recommended rejection of all proposals, since there is no comparable cost to validify the costs in the proposal.
Staff rejected the proposal and decided that a Design-Bid-Build approach will work better for Ontario’s Grand Park. SWA Group was the original designer who conceptualized Ontario’s Grand Park and did the bridging documents for the RFP and has intimate knowledge of the City’s wants and needs for The Grand Park. Staff recommends awarding the Professional Service Agreement to SWA for the preparation of design and construction documents for the Grand Park Project. Grand Park is anticipated to be operational by Summer of 2027. 185

Proposal No.: 24P176
Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Investigation and Infiltration Testing Ontario Great Park
NEC Archibald Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue
Ontario, California
Mr. Sloan:
In accordance with your request, we are pleased to submit this Proposal and attached Engineering Services Agreement, which combined set forth both our responsibilitie s and the scope of our services for the subject project. Prior to prepar ation of this proposal, we have reviewed the Bridging Documents, performed geologic resear ch, and reviewed available internet aerial photographs.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject site is located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue in Ontario, California. The site is bounded to the north by Grand Park Street and vacant land, to the west by South Archibald Avenue, to the south by Eucalyptus Avenue, and to the east by Haven Avenue.
The site consists of several parcels, totaling 16 0± acres in size. Based on aerial photographs obtained from Google Earth, the site is presently vacant and undeveloped. Ground surface cover appears to consist of exposed soil with sparse to dense native grass and weed growth. Based on the assumed topography, the site appears to be readily accessible to truck-mounted drilling equipment.
Based on the conceptual site plan prepared by SWA, the site will be developed as the Ontario Great Park. We understand that the project will include two phases. Phase 1 will include all work to be done on-site, and the paving of Grand Park Street. Phase 2 will include street improvements on Grand Park Street, Archibald Avenue, Haven Avenue, and Eucalyptus Avenue.
As a part of Phase 1, a farm hub, an amphithea ter, several restroom buildings, a maintenance facility, picnic pavilions, arroyo culvert crossings, paved walking trails, and four (4) new parking lots will be constructed within the park. Addition ally, a new dog park, playgrounds, active turf areas, orchards, meadows, and arroyo areas will be constructed. In the northwestern area of the site, a new overpass bridge will be construc ted over Archibald Avenue, providing pedestrian EXHIBIT C - April 8, 2024
