5 ANNUAL REPORT – 2023
VIPS
Volunteers in Police Service
Paradise Police Department

6 VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) have assisted the Police Department with Patrol, Communications, and Special Events since 1998.

ANNUAL REPORT SUMMARY
VIPS donated a total of 3,603.5 hours in 2023
These hours reflect a dollar benefit to the town of $73,115.02. The dollar value of a volunteer is calculated at the rate of $20.29 per hour (Office Assistant). 7 The VIPS would like to thank the Town, Measure V and VIPS Frank Dodini for a new car.

PATROL
Patrol volunteers logged 1,645.5 hours during 2023. Presently there are 6 shifts working Monday-Friday
Some of their duties include - Vacation House Checks, patrol Neighborhood Watch and Mobile Home areas as well as Recreation areas, School Zones, and Commercial Parking lots, and transporting mail between the Police Department, Town Hall, and Animal Control.

TRAFFIC and DISASTER
VIPS are available during and after patrol shifts to be called out to assist the Department and the Town during accidents and emergency situations, such as road closures, fires, trees down, etc. Since the Camp Fire, the number of incidents requiring VIPS Traffic and Disaster callouts has significantly decreased and in 2023 72.5 hours were donated to these responsibilities.
8 COMMUNICATIONS UNIT
The Police Department Front Counter was manned by VIPS 696 hours during 2023, with Live Scan service, both Electronic and rolled prints, adding an additional 213 hours.

Communication VIPS handle front counter duties from 10-2 Monday through Friday.

Duties include:
• Respond to questions and requests from the public.
• Handle paperwork for Live Scans, Vacation House Checks, Special Events, etc. • Take phone requests for Live Scan appointments.
• Accept payments and make receipts for various Department services. • Assist the Acting Records Clerk and Support Services Supervisor in various clerical duties.

Live Scan
In 2023, VIPS spent 213 hours administering both Live Scan and rolled fingerprints. With Police Dispatch returning, Police personnel have limited availability to perform Live Scans. VIPS assistance with Live Scans not only frees up Police personnel, they also add significant availability of this critical service to the community. This was a personnel savings of $4,321.77.

Special Events
VIPS participated in the following special events totaling 394 hours:

Parade of Flags – May, July, and Nov.

High School Graduation
PHS Football
Party in the Park – June-July
Gold Nugget Days
Chocolate Fest
Paradise Strong Phoenix 5K Run
Johnny Appleseed Days
Department Tours
Wildflower Bike Ride
Career Expo at PHS
Motorcycle Toy Run
Back to School Night
9 Finance
Monthly VIPS financial reports are received from Town Hall and receipts and donations are verified. The VIPS program is run primarily by donations.

Recruitment
While recruitment is ongoing all year, active recruitment began in the Fall with signs and media releases. The Academy began at the end of November, with Graduation taking place Jan 10, 2024. Four new recruits completed the Academy and joined the VIPS. They are now training to fill roles in Patrol and Communications.

Reflective Signs
VIPS have long offered the service of making low-cost Reflective Signs for the community. Signs are encouraged because finding addresses in Paradise continues to be difficult. Green or Blue signs are available in either one or two sided.

Cell Phones for Life
Cell phones are available to citizens for 911 calls. Community members turn in phones which are refurbished and can connect to 911 without cell phone service as long as the phone is kept charged.

Neighborhood Watch
Although the Camp Fire destroyed or affected all the past Neighborhood Watch areas, Patrol VIPS still drive through neighborhoods to observe suspicious activities and provide a police presence. Plans are being set up to again offer neighborhood meetings to add additional watch areas. 10 Current VIPS ROSTER

Council Agenda Summary

Agenda Item: 2(d)
ORIGINATED BY: Jessica Erdahl, Supervising Project Manager REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Accept Construction Contract - 2023 On-System Roadway Rehabilitation – Pearson (Project 2)/ HSIP Systemic
Intersection Safety Improvement Project

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes, Tier 1, Evacuation Routes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider adopting Resolution No. 2024- , “ A Resolution of the Town Council of Town of Paradise accepting the work performed under the 2023 On-System Roadway Rehabilitation – Pearson (Project 2)/ HSIP Systemic Intersection Safety Improvement Project Contract 7303.2 CON performed by Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction.”
Background:

Due to the ongoing recovery effort and debris removal operations within the Town and Butte County, the Town’s on-system roadway infrastructure sustained heavy damage in the wake of the Camp Fire. The pavement structural sections were damaged in two ways:

1. Pavement scarring due to car fires – on the day of the Camp Fire, several motorists were required to abandon their vehicles and continue evacuating on foot. The subsequent car fires damaged the pavement, justifying the need for repair.

2. Pavement structural section damage due to heavy truck traffic – Following the Camp Fire, the Town experienced a staggering level of truck traffic. During the CALOES Debris Removal effort, over 3.7 million tons of material was removed, equivalent to approximately 300,000 truckloads. During that same period, PG&E, Comcast, and AT&T restored their damaged distribution infrastructure. Additionally, PG&E removed over 92,000 trees, and an additional 100,000 trees were removed in 2020 as part of the Hazard Tree Removal Program. The volume of trucks using the Town’s on-system roads has resulted in damage to the pavement structural section, justifying the need for rehabilitation.

The Town coordinated with Caltrans and Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to secure Emergency Relief permanent restoration funding to repair damaged on-system roads town wide.

Through the Emergency Relief Program, the Town of Paradise has been approved for $55,439,200 for the on-system road rehabilitation project. The approved project is located on Federal-Aid “On-System” roads – meaning the Town’s primary collectors and arterials such as Skyway, Clark, Pearson, Elliott, Bille, Wagstaff, Pentz, etc.

Additionally, in 2018 the Town has been approved for $1,229,300 in Cycle 9 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds to improve safety at sixteen stop-controlled intersections at various locations. The countermeasure will be to systemically improve minor street approaches with a combination of additional intersection warning/regulatory signs, improved pavement markings, and providing improved sight triangles. For efficiency this project will be bid and constructed with the On-System Road Rehabilitation projects. 47 On November 10, 2020, Paradise Town Council awarded master on-call contracts to Mark Thomas, Dokken Engineering, GHD, Inc., Wood Rodgers, Inc. and Dewberry Drake Haglan to perform on-call professional civil engineering services for a variety of local, state, and federally funded projects. Subsequently, in January 2021, task orders were issued to Mark Thomas, Dokken Engineering, and Wood Rodgers, Inc. to perform civil design services on the on-system road rehabilitation project.

The overall scope of work for the combined 2023 Road Rehabilitation and HSIP Project can be summarized as follows:
 Repair Camp Fire damaged on-system roads to achieve a pre-fire condition.  Improve safety at three stop-controlled intersection with a combination of striping, warning/regulatory signs, improved pavement markings and providing improved sight triangles.

On June 14, 2022 Paradise Town Council awarded Contract No. 7303.1.CON, 2022 On-System Roadway Rehabilitation –Skyway (Project 1) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid plus additive bid $5,069,864.78 and approved contingency expenditures not exceeding 10%.

On January 10, 2023 Paradise Town Council awarded Contract No. 7303.2.CON, 2023 OnSystem Roadway Rehabilitation – Pearson (Project 2) to Baldwin Contracting Company, Inc. dba Knife River Construction in the amount of their base bid, $5,339,517.50 and approved contingency expenditures not exceeding 10%.

Analysis:

Construction efforts began on April 3, 2023 and the project was substantially complete on September 19, 2023.

Financial Impact:

FHWA Emergency Relief and HSIP funds have been authorized for construction and construction engineering phases at actual documented cost incurred.

The total estimated construction cost of the Project, including a 10% contingency, was $5,873,496 contract award. The actual total construction cost is $5,783,056, below budget. Project expenditures and a funding summary is detailed below:

ORIGINATED BY: Dina Volenski, Town Clerk/Elections Official Crystal Peter, Human Resources Director
REVIEWED BY: Scott E. Huber, Town Attorney
Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize destruction of certain records maintained in the Town Clerk and Human Resources Departments in keeping
with the principles of an effective and cost-efficient Records Management Program.

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-__, “A Resolution of The Town Council of the Town of Paradise Authorizing Disposal of Certain Town Records Maintained in the Town Clerk Department Pursuant to Government Code Section 34090”; and,

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-__, “A Resolution of The Town Council of the Town of Paradise Authorizing Disposal of Certain Town Records Maintained in the Human Resources Department Pursuant to Government Code Section 34090.”; or,

3. Make the determination that certain records listed for destruction have value to the agency, and direct that all or some of the records listed in Exhibit B continue to be maintained.

Background:

The Town has had an established records management program since the early 1980’s. Based upon recommendations from the California Secretary of State, all Town records have been appraised, inventoried and scheduled with a retention/destruction code pursuant to Town of Paradise Resolution No. 04-27 (original schedule was adopted in 1993 by Resolution No. 93-30).

This resolution provides the Town with legal authority to dispose of certain records that are no longer required by the Town.

Analysis:

Once records have fulfilled their administrative, fiscal, or legal function they should be disposed of as soon as possible to maintain an efficient, effective and economical management of information. Resolution No. 04-27 provides for the legal authority, with the Town Attorney’s consent, to dispose of records that no longer serve the administrative, legal and/or fiscal purposes for which they were created. Since the records are eligible for destruction and no longer have value to the Town, it is appropriate that the Council adopt the proposed resolutions.

Financial Impact:

No additional cost will be borne by the Town in destroying these records. The Finance Division already contracts for regular shredding service and any documents not containing confidential or sensitive information will be recycled.

Council Agenda Summary

Agenda Item: 2(f)
ORIGINATED BY: Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic Development Director REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting CalFire California Climate Investments Program Grant for Category 4 Tree Removal

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider adopting Resolution No. 2024- ___ to finalize and obligate the CalFire California Climate Investment Grant Agreement in order to receive up to $2,469,159.00 in match funding for Phase 2 Tree Removal.

Background:

The Town Category 4 Tree Removal Program Completed Phase 1 in December of 2022. The assessment phase of the project identified nearly 12,000 eligible trees on 574 parcels. The Town had been concerned that the 25% property owner match requirement could exponentially decrease the number of property owners able to proceed with Phase 2 removal and ultimately result in a large percentage of eligible trees remaining in the community that are a fire hazard, safety hazard, and impediment to recovery post Camp Fire.

The Town pursued grant opportunities to fulfill this 25% match requirement and was recently granted funding through the CalFire California Climate Investment Program. This grant for up to $2,469,159.00 will cover the entirety of the property owner and Town match requirements for Phase 2 of the tree removal program.

On October 9, 2023, the Town of Paradise Council voted to accept the CalFire CCI grant. The final step required by CalFire to obligate the funds for the project is to pass the attached resolution accepting the funding.

Analysis:

This grant for up to $2,469,159.00 will cover the entirety of the property owner and Town match requirements for Phase 2 of the tree removal program.

The Town continues to work with FEMA and CalOES in order to move forward with removal of identified trees and currently anticipates removal beginning in Spring of 2024.

This grant partnership with CAL FIRE is essential to the success of the Category 4 tree removal program.

Financial Impact:

This grant agreement will provide up to $2,469,159.00 in funding to cover match requirements for property owners as well as match requirements for Town expenses. This alleviates expense concerns for this project for both enrolled private property owners and the Town of Paradise. 60 RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF PARADISE, STATE OF

CALIFORNIA

3. Certifies that funds under the jurisdiction of the Town of Paradise are available to begin the project.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider adopting Resolution No. 2024 -___, “A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise to Assign Council Member Participation to the Legislative Committee.”
Background:

On February 14, 2023 Town Council created the Legislative Ad Hoc Committee for the purpose of tracking state and federal legislation and administrative regulation that have an impact on the Town. Committee members regularly report to the Council to seek direction as to what position they should take when interacting with elected and appointed officials. The Mayor and Vice Mayor were selected to represent the Council on the Legislative Ad Hoc Committee for the remainder of the 2023 calendar year. On December 12, 2023 Town Council completed their annual appointments for the upcoming calendar year for representatives and alternates to local and county committees/commissions. At that meeting two Council Members were appointed to the Legislative Committee who were not the Mayor and Vice Mayor.

At the January 9, 2024 Council Meeting, the Council reviewed the assignments of two committees due to a resignation. After discussion, the Town Council directed staff to return with a Resolution for formal adoption of the Legislative Committee with an assignment of the Mayor and Vice Mayor or his or her designee on the committee.

Analysis:

By prior action of the Council, the Legislative Committee representatives were assigned to the Mayor and Vice Mayor. At the direction of Council, the assignment to the Legislative Committee should be modified as such that the Mayor and Vice Mayor may designate an alternate Council Member to take their place on the Committee in the event it becomes necessary.

Financial Impact:

None.

SUBJECT: Quarterly Investment Report

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

Review and file the 2nd Quarter Investment Report for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024.

Background:

Attached is the report on the Town’s cash and investments for the quarter ending December 31, 2023.

A US Bank checking account is currently being used for payroll, accounts payable and other operating purposes. Most accounts payable disbursements are drawn through checks, and most payroll disbursements are processed through direct deposit.

The Town has historically utilized the State of California managed Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for investment of General Fund cash in excess of immediately needed operating capital.

LAIF provides for same day liquidity as funds can be transferred electronically through computer authorization between LAIF and the Town checking account. LAIF has also provided historically competitive yields, with a return of 3.95% for the period ending December 31, 2023.

To provide additional opportunity for asset diversification, during the quarter ending September 30, 2022, the Town began utilizing the California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (California CLASS) in conjunction with the aforementioned investment accounts to hold shortterm reserves. California CLASS is a joint exercise of powers entity authorized under Section 6509.7, California Government Code. California CLASS is a pooled investment option that was created via a joint exercise of powers agreement (JPA Agreement) by and among California public agencies. California CLASS provides the Town with a convenient method for investing in highquality, short- to medium-term securities carefully selected to optimize interest earnings while maximizing safety and liquidity. The California CLASS Prime fund has provided the Town with an opportunity to strengthen and diversify its cash management programs in accordance with the safety, liquidity, and yield hierarchy that governs the investment of public funds. During the third quarter of the fiscal year, CLASS has provided a very competitive yield, with a return of 5.55% for the quarter ending December 31, 2023.
81 In July 2020, the Town received a net settlement from PG&E related to the 2018 Camp Fire in the amount of $219,187,262. Since that time, the Town continues to utilize three investment vehicles to manage these funds. Securities purchases are held in a custodial account with US Bank. The Town has contracted with Meeder Investments to assist with management of these funds. Excess funds that are not invested in specific securities are held in the State of California managed Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and California CLASS. Future use of these funds continues to be evaluated through a long-term fiscal sustainability model. Based on current rebuild rates and revenue growth trends, at this time it is expected that at least 80% of the total fund balance will be required to be utilized for long-term revenue backfill to ensure continued fiscal sustainability. US Bank Custodial has provided yields of 1.64% for the quarter ending December 31, 2023.

In June of 2011, the Town established an irrevocable trust to begin funding the future obligations associated with retiree health as required by GASB 45. The funds are being managed by SelfInsured Schools of California (SISC) and can only be used for the payment of retiree health benefits. The statement from September 2023 is not available yet. Entries are rolled from September 30, 2023.

Financial Impact:

Total investment earnings for the quarter ending December 31, 2023 are estimated at $849,810, as the investment revenue from SISC are not available yet. 82 TOWN OF PARADISE

Council Agenda Summary
Date: February 13, 2024
Agenda Item: 2(l)
ORIGINATED BY: Eric Reinbold, Police Chief
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
Scott E. Huber, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Rotary Club of Paradise Donation Acceptance

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider accepting a donation of $5,000 from the Rotary Club of Paradise to support the ECitation program.

Background:

During the 1st quarter of the fiscal year 23/24, Officer Andrew Cooper spearheaded a program to improve the police department’s process in completing traffic collision and citation reporting. The new process will improve accuracy and increase efficiency. By leveraging current technologies, the officers will have the ability to provide a more accurate picture of the community’s traffic related issues.

Officer Cooper has already secured a grant to fund the software and service component of this transition. The Rotary Club of Paradise is providing a donation to assist with the purchase of hardware that will be needed to carry on this project.

Analysis:

Town Council Resolution No. 96-17 provides for the formal presentation and acceptance of donations made to the Town of Paradise at a public meeting. This process provides a tax record for the citizen or organization as well as clear direction to the Finance Director to deposit such donations to specific accounts as requested by donor(s).

Staff recommends Town Council accept the donation of the $5,000 from the Rotary Club of Paradise.

Financial Impact:

The acceptance of the donation of $5,000 is expected to have no fiscal impacts relating to its usage.

REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Category 4 Tree Removal Management Partnership with the Butte Fire Safe Council – Pre-Phases 2 Contract Not to
Exceed Increase

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

Yes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Authorize the attached not to exceed (NTE) increase amendment for $10,000 with the Butte Fire Safe Council and authorize the Town Manager to execute the amendment in order to continue with FEMA/CalOES approved Pre-Phase 2 award work.

Background:

The Town Council approved a professional services contract for the Butte Fire Safe Council (BCFSC) on May 9, 2023 for the management of Phase 2 of the Category 4 Tree Removal Program. That contract was approved to be executed upon full approval by FEMA of Phase 2 of the project which had been anticipated for Summer 2023. Town staff continues to wait for full approval to execute that contract.

Due to additional delays by FEMA for the Environmental Assessment process, staff now anticipates phase 2 approval before April 2024. In order to save time upon approval, FEMA agreed to allow the Town and BCFSC to initiate a number of phase 2 actions before full approval of the project. On October 9, 2023, the Town Council approved a BCFSC contract to work on FEMA Authorized Pre-Award actions.

Due to the FEMA delays, the project approval originally projected for February 2024 looks to be on track for full approval before the end of March. All work on the environmental analysis that has caused years of delay is now complete and in final CalOES review and authorization. We have been advised that this process should take no longer than one month before full approval is granted.

Analysis:

The BCFSC work in partnership with Town staff has been essential in preparing for a quick implementation of the project upon full approval. This NTE will allow their staff to continue moving forward with project preparation during this additional delay. 124
Financial Impact:

This contract will be funded through the FEMA-approved $58,878.00 in pre-award period expenses. The professional services agreement and respective services will be 75% funded by FEMA/CalOES HMGP funds. The 25% remaining match funds will be provided by a CalFire Wildfire Prevention Grant. The BCFSC Management costs previously approved in May 2023 will not exceed $585,851.00.

This pre-award work contract would now not exceed $20,000 and is for work included in the previously approved contract scope of work. It will not increase the originally approved full BCFSC Management Contract once fully implemented. Scope of work actions originally intended for Phase 2 is being moved to the pre-award phase as approved by FEMA and CalOES. We anticipate this NTE would also cover any unforeseen short delays to full FEMA approval. 125
ATTACHMENT A:

Agenda Item: 6(a)
ORIGINATED BY: Aimee Beleu, Finance Director/Town Treasurer REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Tri Counties Bank Banking Services

LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:

No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:

1. Consider authorizing the Mayor and Town Manager to enter into an agreement for banking services with Tri Counties Bank for five years with an optional extension of two years, contingent upon final review and approval by the Town Attorney.

Background:

On October 2017, the Town of Paradise entered into a five-year banking agreement with an optional two-year extension with US Bank. The Town is fast approaching the end of its second and final extension year. On November 9, 2023, the Town submitted a request for proposal in Public Purchase in order to obtain as many local banking proposals as possible.

A copy of the request for proposal is attached for Town Council’s review.

Discussion:

Staff was pleased to receive three comprehensive proposals for banking services. Each proposal was of high quality, and each addressed fifteen specific sections ranging from comparable experience to detailed options on specific services. A committee made up of the Finance Director, the Senior Accountant and Accountant was formed to evaluate the proposals. The proposals were evaluated in accordance with the criteria outlined in the proposal as follows:

1. Conformity to RFP Specifications. The proposal must be received by the Town by the specified due date. It is the responsibility of the bank to ensure proper submission and timely delivery of all required material.

2. Responsiveness to RFP. The quality of the proposal, i.e. did the bank demonstrate a good understanding of the Town’s needs and respond in a comprehensive manner?

3. Comprehensiveness of Services Provided. The Town's evaluation of the overall capabilities of the bank to meet the required service levels described in this RFP.

4. Related Experience. The bank's related experience in providing services comparable to the Town's needs.
127

5. Account Analysis. The quality of the bank's standard account analysis statement.

6. Conversion Plan. The thoroughness of the conversion plan to ensure a smooth transition.

7. Charges for Services. The amount of the standard charges, proposed pricing increases in subsequent years and the pricing structure being proposed.

8. Service Enhancements. The bank's efforts to understand the Town's banking needs and goals and the creativity the bank shows in introducing new technologies and efficiencies to the Town to improve current practices and procedures.

9. Other Factors. Any other factors that the Town believes would be in the best interest of the Town to consider which were not previously described.

Out of 390 possible points assigned to these criteria, the committee scored the banks in order of ranking as follows:

Rank Bank Score
1 Tri Counties Bank 356
2 US Bank 346
3 Mechanics Bank 327
Staff recognizes and appreciates the time and effort taken by each of the banks to submit proposals. Ultimately, staff recommends Town Council approve a five-year banking service agreement with Tri Counties Bank, with the option of extending for an additional two years.

Tri Counties Bank demonstrated their understanding of the Town’s banking priorities and has shown commitment to helping the Town achieve its unique financial goals with a dedication to customer service.

A copy of the Tri Counties proposal is attached for Town Council’s review.

Financial Impact:

Banking fees will be in accordance with the agreement and will be locked in at current rates for the duration of the five-year agreement. Estimated fees were included in the 23/24 budget, and so the agreement will have minimal fiscal impact.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable for the defense or indemnification of the Town for claims, actions, complaints or suits arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Town.

6.9. Independent Contractor. Bank is and shall be acting at all times as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Town. Bank shall have no power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability on behalf of Town or otherwise act on behalf of Town as an agent. Neither Town nor any of its agents shall have control over the conduct of Bank or any of Bank’s employees, except as set forth in this Agreement. Bank shall not, at any time, or in any manner, represent that it or any of its or employees are in any manner agents or employees of Town.

Town of Paradise
Attn: Aimee Beleu
Finance Director
5555 Skyway
Paradise, CA 95969
Dear Ms. Beleu:

Thank you for allowing Tri Counties Bank the opportunity to provide a proposal for banking services to the Town of Paradise.

Tri Counties Bank has a strong and local presence in Paradise and we feel our bank would be able to meet the needs of the Town with putting a focus on the community. Throughout this proposal you will find we strive for excellence in community banking while maintaining a large product and service offering.

While some larger financial institutions have terminated their banking relationships with public fund entities and associations based on the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) within Basel III, we remain committed to this business segment. Tri Counties Bank is not impacted by the LCR within Basel III as this affects Financial Institutions with $250 billion or more in total consolidated assets or $10 billion or more in on-balance sheet foreign exposure. Therefore, we are seeking and committed to offering a long-term banking relationship with the Town of Paradise while collateralizing the funds at 110% above the FDIC maximum amount.

The services and pricing set forth in this RFP response is valid through June 1, 2024 and will remain in effect for 5 years if the Town of Paradise moves forward with the proposal. Tri Counties Bank confirms that they meet all the minimum qualifications listed in Section III items 1-10 within the RFP.

Please direct any questions or inquiries regarding this proposal directly to all three of us. Again, we thank you and value this opportunity.

Sincerely,

10 10. Interest Allowance/Earnings
Describe the methodology that would be used to give interest earnings to the Town for bank balances. Provide the proposed formula to calculate interest earnings. All interest earnings for any bank account shall be credited to that account on a monthly basis.

The Town of Paradise can choose from several account structures. Accounts can be placed in Traditional Analysis, where an earnings credit rate is calculated on the average monthly balance and that credit is used to offset account and treasury management fees. TCB also offers an Interest Analysis, where a true interest calculation is accrued on the daily balance, paid to the account monthly and all account/treasury management fees are debited from the account at month end. The Town can opt for a hybrid of both analysis earnings credits and an interest bearing account linked by an automated sweep structure. Here are some generic examples based on a customer with a total average balance of $1,000,000 and calculated account fees of $750 monthly. *Account structures and rates at Tri Counties Bank are entirely customized based on each customer’s needs and goals.

Traditional Analysis- Earnings Credit Rate (ECR) 1.00% (example) 1,000,000 x .90 (withhold 10%) = 900,000
900,000 x .01 (ECR) = 9,000
9,000 / 365 (daily) = 24.66

24.66 x 30 (days in cycle) = 739.80
739.80 – 650 (fees) = -10.20
Interest Collected: $0.00
Fees Paid: $10.20
Interest Analysis- APY 1.00% (example)
1,000,000 x .01 (rate) = 10,000
10,000 / 365 (daily) = 27.40

27.40 x 30 (days in cycle) = 822.00
Interest Collected: $822.00
Fees Paid: $750.00
154

11 11. Pricing
Describe the pricing for services and supplies that the bank proposes. The bank should provide a complete listing of all hard dollar costs for services. Proposals should reflect two options: (one) utilizing hard dollar costs and (two) utilizing compensating balance. An additional option may be proposed utilizing a combination thereof.

Include a pro forma detailed monthly billing statement as part of this section. (Pricing schedules and billing statements are not included as part of the page maximum for this section). Indicate if the bank will cap or propose a flat monthly service fee based on information provided by the Town in this RFP. Pricing must include all Accounts, as well as other limited activity accounts that may be required by the Town during the term of the agreement.

Tri Counties Bank’s account and treasury management fees are per item volume based. The below information is based on a 3 month volume average from the US Bank Analysis statements. In order to meet the goal of this section and include all services listed 1-19, a column was added to show what fee correlates to the needed service. We have prepared a proforma with formulas in Excel and included all required service listed on Attachment 2, Banking Services Pricing Form. The worksheet has an additional tab to show an earnings credit rate (ECR) utilizing compensating balances and the volume calculations. (see schedule 1)
TCB is willing to propose a flat monthly fee if traditional analysis with offsetting credits is not the choice of the Town. If traditional analysis is chosen, the earnings credit will entirely cover the monthly fees. Tri Counties Bank does not charge for many of the line items listed on the US Bank statement and we do not have any one-time set up fees. A sample account analysis statement is provided to show what the Town of Paradise will receive on a monthly basis. (see schedule 2) Average Daily Collected Balance $ 1,292,067.16 Earnings Credit ( 1.00 %) $ 987.63 Less Reserve 10% Requirement $ 129,206.72 Analyzed Charges $ 511.17 Balance to Support Services $ 1,162,860.44 TOTAL FEES DEBITED $ - BALANCE COMPUTATION ACCOUNT POSITION 155

Bank may propose an annual adjustment to prices either on a fixed percentage basis or on a variable percentage based on the increase in a nationally recognized index. Indicate if there is a maximum percentage increase applicable.

All pricing set forth in this RFP response shall remain in effect for 5 years per the request of the Town. Subsequent years will be handled as part of Tri Counties Bank’s annual pricing review in January of each year. Your local Treasury Management Officer does TCB annual pricing reviews at the relationship review level. No fee increase will take place without discussion and approval from the Town.

A custom conversion plan and timeline like the one below will be built to suit the Town of Paradise. TCB does not foresee any direct costs the Town would be responsible for pertaining to a bank conversion. Tri Counties Bank will cover the cost of an initial check stock supply for 1,000 checks. The Town of Paradise will receive in-person or live-virtual training for all TM services and TriCo Treasury Center.

Based on the bank's understanding of the Town's banking needs and goals, describe any enhancements, technological or otherwise, that the Town should consider to improve operational or cash management efficiencies.

Tri Counties Bank would value the opportunity to do a deep-dive profile into the full cash management cycle of the Town of Paradise in order to make the best service enhancement recommendations. Once we better understand the A/R, A/P and liquidity structure, we can get more specific on potential improvements.

17 15. Collateralization
Please describe how the bank will collateralize all deposits in excess of FDIC insured balances in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53630-53686.

Tri Counties Bank currently manages more than 200 public agency accounts with over $250 million in balances. Tri Counties Bank provides public agencies a safe place to hold public monies. California government code Title 5, Division 2, Part 1, Chapter 4, Article 2, and Sections 53630 through 53686 regulates the Local Agency Security Program (LASP). California law is supplemented by regulations, Title 2, Division 4.5, and Section 16001.1.1 through 16010.1.3.

TCB’s Public Fund balances are collateralized up to 110% by government backed securities held at our custodian bank, The Independent Bank (TIB).

The Town of Paradise and Tri Counties Bank will jointly execute a Public Fund contract outlining the above government code along with a waiver of security for the first $250,000 that is fully insured under FDIC, pursuant to Section 53653.

At the Town’s request, we can provide quarterly statements showing Tri Counties Bank collateral holdings versus public deposit balances.
