Patricia Bravo-Valdez, MMC, Deputy Director of City Clerk Services SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Consideration of a Resolution Adopting By Reference the Standard Conflict of Interest Provisions of California Code of Regulations Title 2, Section 18730 and Approving an Amended Appendix I, to Account for the Addition of Two Positions Listed Under "Designated Positions". (RESOLUTION NO. FD 2024-024) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District adopt a Resolution approving an amended Conflict of Interest Code, Appendix I, to account for the addition of two positions as listed under “designated positions”.
BACKGROUND:
Under the Political Reform Act, all public agencies are required to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code that identifies all officials and employees within the agency who make governmental decisions or participate in making decisions based on the positions they hold. The individuals in the designed positions must disclose their financial interests in investments, interests in real property, sources of income and business positions that may affect in their decision-making on a form called Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).
To ensure the code remains current and accurate, agencies are required to review their Conflict of Interest Code in even-numbered years. The Fire Protection District Board previously adopted Regulation 18730 (referred to as the model or standard code by the Fair Political Practices Commission) by reference and, as such, the terms of the code (Exhibit A to the Resolution) is up to date.
At the June 19, 2024 board meeting, staff was directed to proceed with the biennial review of the Conflict of Interest Code.
ANALYSIS:
It is essential and legally required that an agency’s Conflict of Interest Code reflect the current structure of the agency and properly identifies all officials and employees who should be filing a Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700.
The District has reviewed its Conflict of Interest Code and it has determined that it is necessary to amend the Code, to include the positions of Management II and Management Analyst III, (Appendix I) “Designated Positions”. Appendix II includes disclosure requirements for designated consultants.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve the Addition of One Fire Safety Position for Implementation of the Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST). (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council / Fire Board approve the addition of one fire safety position to the Fire District’s total allocated positions for current Fiscal Year 2023-24 in order to implement the Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST).
BACKGROUND:
Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST) is a multi-disciplinary mobile mental health crisis response team. The team consists of a social worker from the Department of Behavioral Health, a law enforcement officer, and a fire safety employee with a service dog trained in crisis response. The purpose of the team is to engage with those experiencing a mental health crisis in order to provide alternative services including the ability to follow-up with individuals for continuum of care, provide a better treatment option for those in crisis, provide community outreach and education, and prevent further crises through follow-up. COAST can respond in lieu of, or relieve, police and fire resources to keep those units available for emergency response.
COAST can also direct placement of clients directly to appropriate mental health facilities based upon the specific needs of the client, thus reducing visits to hospital emergency departments and assisting in ensuring there are more available beds for patients needing immediate medical care.
The Fire District and Rancho Cucamonga Police Department have been in the process of developing and implementing a COAST program in the City. The team will be comprised of a Fire District firefighter with a service dog, a San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy, and a San Bernardino County Social Worker. Currently, there are four COAST programs in San Bernardino County. They are located in Fontana, Ontario, San Bernardino City, and a San Bernardino County Sheriff Regional Team.
On July 17, 2024, the City Council / Fire Board accepted the donation of a 2021 Ford Transit Cargo Van from Arrowhead Credit Union’s (ACU) ArrowHeart Foundation. The van will be used
2 5
6 0
for various programs such as public education, fire prevention, and community outreach. It will be essential in providing on-the-street assistance and connecting individuals to vital services and resources, thus enhancing the Fire District’s operational capabilities. The van was valued at $39,705 and had approximately 56,568 miles.
On August 21, 2024, the City Council / Fire Board approved Contract Number FD 2024-007 with Working Dogs for Warriors (WDFW) for a therapy dog and associated expenses, including comprehensive training, veterinary care and insurance, and ongoing training and support services. A WDFW therapy dog will accompany COAST team members during high-stress incidents in order to provide emotional support, help reduce stress levels, and assist in de- escalating critical situations. The therapy dog will also contribute to community outreach by engaging with the public during educational events and offering additional care for our first responders by aiding in peer support activities. The annual cost of the contract is $12,000, however the first year has been covered by the WDFW Care Team K9 Program for Suicide Prevention Grant.
ANALYSIS:
In order for the Fire District to finish implementation of the COAST program, it is necessary to add one (1) safety position to the Fire District’s total allocated positions. The specifics of the position include the following:
•Office assignment working 40 hours per week. The typical schedule will be Monday to Thursday, however this will be adjusted as needed for community events and meetings. •Full-time support dog handler
•Fire District vehicle provided with support dog transportation capabilities. •Minimum 2-year commitment
•Will receive Crisis Intervention Training
•Will attend required COAST Team meetings and trainings. •COAST Team members will be housed at the Public Safety Facility.
The estimated timeline for implementation of the COAST program is 1st quarter of 2025. For the Fire District, implementation will result in the addition of one (1) safety position to the Fire District’s total allocated positions. The position will be filled using existing staffing and backfilled using current eligibility lists. For the Police Department, existing staffing will be used to fill the team’s law enforcement position.
The recommended staffing initiatives described above will result in the following benefits and potential negative impacts:
Benefits to Community Potential Challenges
1. COAST will provide an enhanced level of
service to our most vulnerable population
by collaborating at the scene of the call
and providing the client with a plan that will
best suit their individual needs.
2. COAST staffing model allows for the team
to respond in lieu of Fire District apparatus
for mental health related calls and other
miscellaneous calls which COAST would
be most appropriate.
1. Ensuring access to patient files by all
team members.
2. Ensuring that the leadership across all
three participating agencies remain
committed to the collaboration needed to
ensure success of the COAST program.
2 5
6 0
3. COAST can respond in lieu of police and
fire resources, thus keeping those units
available for emergency calls.
4. COAST can coordinate placement of
clients directly to appropriate behavioral
and mental health facilities without a need
to go through the Emergency Department.
This will improve client outcomes and
reduce recidivism, thus leading to less Fire
District and law enforcement responses.
5. COAST will assist in avoiding unnecessary
emergency department admittance by
providing the clients with direct admittance
to an appropriate mental health receiving
facility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Below are the financial impacts associated with the implementation of the COAST program.
Please note that these costs won’t be fully realized during current Fiscal Year 2024-25 since program implementation is occurring partially through the fiscal year. These costs only address the Fire District’s component of the team and do not include costs for the other team members (law enforcement and social worker).
The estimated annual cost of the recommended staffing changes are as follows:
Staffing Expense Description Annual
Revenue
Annual
Expense
Fire Safety
Position
Fund one (1) Fire Engineer position
(40-hour safety employee) $0 $262,830
Net Fiscal Impact: $262,830

SUBJECT: Consideration of an Agreement for Ground Ambulance Services with Consolidated Fire Agencies (CONFIRE). (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Fire Board not approve the Agreement between the Consolidated Fire Agencies (CONFIRE) and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District for the provision of ground ambulance transport services. The Agreement will be brought back for consideration at a later date once pending legal issues are resolved.
BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 2023, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors awarded Contract No. 23-1282 for ground ambulance medical transportation services to CONFIRE and its private subcontractor-partner Priority Ambulance, for an initial term beginning October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2029, with an option to extend the contract for a second five-year term. Services required as part of the contact include Advanced Life Support, Basic Life Support, ground ambulance services, and Interfacility and Critical Care Transport services to 11 Exclusive Operating Areas within the County.
As a result of the County awarding the ambulance contract to CONFIRE, several member and contract agencies (Ontario, Chino Valley, Rancho Cucamonga, and San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD)) are required to support the system by implementing at least one ambulance within their jurisdictions. Per the RFP and the contractual agreement with Priority Ambulance, the ambulances shall be staffed on a 24/7/365.
On December 20, 2023, the Fire Board authorized an amendment to the Fiscal Year 23-24 Budget to provide for the hiring of six firefighters, one EMS Captain, and one Data Analyst to support and implement the requirements of the County of San Bernardino contract for ground ambulance medical transportation services.
On January 17, 2024, the Fire Board authorized the purchase of two (2) Type-1 Ambulances utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement No. 11092, awarded to Wheeled Coach.
ANALYSIS:
The Fire District committed to provide the following ambulance transport services: one (1) fully equipped and staffed emergency ground ambulances, one (1) fully equipped emergency ground ambulance for surge events, and one (1) fully-equipped reserve emergency ground ambulance.
2 5
5 8
In order to provide these transport services, the Fire District must enter into an Agreement with CONFIRE.
As outlined in the Agreement, the term will commence on the effective date and continue through September 30, 2029, with the possibility of extending the Agreement for an additional five years.
CONFIRE will compensate the Fire District with a unit hour rate of $167.72 for each primary ambulance and $152.80 for staffing the reserve ambulance. Payments will be made to the Fire District on a quarterly basis, based on invoices prepared from Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) data that reflect the in-service hours for the Fire District.
On February 27, 2024, American Medical Response (AMR) filed a lawsuit challenging the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors’ decision to award the ambulance transportation contract to CONFIRE. On July 9, 2024, AMR then filed an injunction requesting a stay of the execution of the ambulance transportation contract pending the outcome of the lawsuit. On September 12, 2024, a judge granted the requested injunction, subsequently delaying the scheduled implementation of the ambulance contract on October 1, 2024.
Due to the pending legal issues impeding implementation of the ambulance contract, staff does not recommend that the Fire Board approve the Agreement with CONFIRE at this time. Instead, staff recommends that this Agreement be brought back to the Fire Board for consideration and approval at a later date once the current legal issues have been resolved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The revenue resulting from the Agreement’s unit hour utilization rate will offset associated staffing and equipment expenses. Sufficient funding is available in the Fire District’s FY 2024-25 Budget for this Agreement.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item combines portions of the Council's vision and core values by providing a sustainable City and promoting a safe and healthy community for all. This is accomplished by ensuring our first responders have the resources and tools necessary to support and implement the requirements of the County of San Bernardino contract for ground ambulance medical transportation services, thus enhancing the level of service provided to the community.

DATE: October 2, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Elisa C. Cox, Assistant City Manager
Hope Velarde, Management Analyst II
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. 2024-096, a Resolution in Support of Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act. (RESOLUTION NO. 2024-096) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council consider and adopt Resolution No. 2024-096, supporting California Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act.
BACKGROUND:
A felony is the most serious type of crime. People can be sentenced to county jail or state prison for felonies, depending on the crime and their criminal history. In some cases, people can be supervised in the community by a county probation officer instead of serving some or all of their sentence in jail or prison. The length of sentence mostly depends on the crime.
A misdemeanor is a less serious crime. Examples include assault and drug possession. People can be sentenced to county jail, county community supervision, and/or a fine for misdemeanors.
Sentences can be up to one year in jail.
In 2014, Proposition 47 changed some theft and drug crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. For example, shoplifting (stealing items worth $950 or less from a store) and drug possession generally became misdemeanors. While Proposition 47 has resulted in measurable and positive impacts to California’s criminal justice system, the cumulative effects of Proposition 47, along with other criminal justice reforms that occurred at a similar time (Proposition 57 and Assembly Bill 109), have also had significant adverse effects resulting in public safety challenges. Most notably, municipalities across California are reporting increases in property and violent crime that law enforcement believe to be related to the legislative changes that have been enacted over the past several years.
In 2017, a new coalition of California cities began advocating for the State to engage in further discussions to identify solutions for addressing the unintended consequences of changes made to California’s criminal justice system. The coalition, Taking Back our Community Coalition was led by the Cities of Arcadia, Glendora, and Monrovia, with Monrovia acting as the lead administrative agency.
The objectives of the Taking Back Our Community Coalition include:
2 5
6 3
•To raise public awareness of why crime is increasing in our state. •To provide a consistent message surrounding the facts and impacts of AB 109, Proposition 47, and Proposition 57.
•To advocate for State legislative changes to improve law enforcement’s ability to respond to crime.
On November 17, 2017, the City Council approved the City of Rancho Cucamonga to formally join the Taking Back Our Community Coalition to support public safety-related legislative advocacy efforts. The city has consistently advocated for enhancing public safety while preserving the quality of life for residents and Proposition 36 is the most viable, effective, and timely option for addressing the unintended consequences of Proposition 47.
ANALYSIS:
Proposition 36 makes several key changes related to punishments for theft and drug crimes and include the following:
•Turns some misdemeanors into felonies. For example, theft of items worth $950 or less is generally a misdemeanor. Proposition 36 makes this crime a felony if the person has two or more past convictions for certain theft crimes, such as shoplifting, burglary, or carjacking. The sentence would be up to three years in county jail or state prison. These changes undo some of the punishment reductions in Proposition 47. •Lengthens some felony sentences. For example, Proposition 36 allows felony sentences for theft or damage of property to be lengthened by up to three years if three or more people committed the crime together.
•Requires some felonies be served in prison. For example, sentences for selling certain drugs, such as fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine, can be lengthened based on the amount sold. Currently, these sentences are served in county jail or state prison depending on the person’s criminal history. Proposition 36 generally requires these sentences be served in prison.
Proposition 36 also allows people who possess illegal drugs to be charged with a “treatment- mandates felony,” instead of a misdemeanor, in some cases. Specifically, this applies to people who (1) possess certain drugs, such as fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine, and (2) have two or more past convictions for some drug crimes, such as possessing or selling drugs.
These people would generally get treatment, such as mental health or drug treatment. Those who finish treatment would have their charges dismissed. Those who do not finish treatment could serve up to three years in state prison. This change undoes some of the punishment reductions in Proposition 47.
Lastly, Proposition 36 requires courts to warn people that they could be charged with murder if they sell or provide illegal drugs that kill someone. This warning would be given to people convicted of selling or providing certain drugs, such as fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine. This could make it more likely for them to be convicted of murder if they later sell or provide illegal drugs to someone who dies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the resolution in support of Proposition 36, however if successful, Proposition 36 would likely increase state and local criminal justice costs, likely ranging from several tens of millions of dollars to the low hundreds of millions of dollars each year due to increased prison population and an increase in court/court-related workload for prosecutors, public defenders, and probation/behavioral health professionals.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 36, THE HOMELESSNESS, DRUG
ADDICTION, AND THEFT REDUCTION ACT
WHEREAS, while Prop 47 achieved notable success in making California’s criminal justice system more equitable, Prop 47 has also led to unintended consequences over the past decade.
WHEREAS, Prop 47 has contributed to increases in repeat and often organized retail theft, the shuttering of local businesses, and difficulty convincing people to seek drug and mental health treatment.
WHEREAS, these unintended consequences can only be corrected by the voters at the ballot box with modest amendments to Prop 47.
WHEREAS, Prop 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act is a bi- partisan measure that provides common sense, targeted reforms to Prop 47 that, with the recently adopted legislative Retail Theft Package, provide more tools to increase safety in our communities.
WHEREAS, spikes in retail theft, violent smash-and-grab robberies, fentanyl deaths and illicit drug use, as well as strained social services, are creating challenges beyond the capacity of local governments.
WHEREAS, Cities are partnering with the state to advance solutions that help reduce crime and provide more support to residents struggling with substance abuse, while avoiding a return to the days of mass incarceration.
WHEREAS, Prop 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act will define fentanyl as a hard drug, hold individuals convicted of trafficking fentanyl accountable, and grant judges greater discretion in sentencing drug traffickers.
WHEREAS, Breaking the cycle of repeat offenders means addressing the many root causes of retail theft.
WHEREAS, Prop 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act allows critical behavioral health services, drug treatment, and job training within our justice system for people who are homeless and suffering from mental illness or struggling with substance abuse.
WHEREAS, it’s time for meaningful and tailored reforms to our justice system to ensure the safety of our communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA formally supports Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction act and the benefit that it provides for our community’s safety.

(RESOLUTION NO. SA 2024-001) (CITY/SUCCESSOR AGENCY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Directors:
1. Adopt Resolution No. SA 2024-001 of the Successor Agency to the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency Approving the Issuance of Refunding Bonds in Order to Refund Certain of its Outstanding Bonds, Approving the Execution and Delivery of a Seventh Supplemental Indenture Relating Thereto, Requesting Oversight Board Approval of the Issuance of the Refunding Bonds, Requesting Certain Determinations by the Oversight Board, and Providing for Other Matters Properly Relating Thereto; and
2. Approve and authorize the Debt Service Savings Analysis to be presented to the Countywide Oversight Board (the “Oversight Board”) and be submitted to the Department of Finance as required by Redevelopment Agency Dissolution Act; and
3. Request Oversight Board approval of the issuance of the refunding bonds.
BACKGROUND:
The Successor Agency to the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) previously issued its $174,050,000 Successor Agency to the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency Rancho Redevelopment Project Area Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2014 (the “Prior Bonds”) for the purpose of refinancing certain outstanding bonds of the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”). The Successor Agency proposed to issue its Rancho Redevelopment Project Area Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2025 (the “Refunding Bonds”).
2 5
4 4
California Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34177.5(a)(1), authorizes successor agencies the ability to refund outstanding bonds. The issuance of refunding bonds under the HSC section 34177.5, which was added to the Redevelopment Agency Dissolution Act (“RDA Dissolution Act”) by AB 1484, authorizes the Successor Agency to issue bonds for the purpose of refunding outstanding tax allocation bonds of the Redevelopment Agency or the Successor Agency to provide debt service savings provided that (A) the total interest cost to maturity on the refunding bonds plus the principal amount of the refunding bonds does not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on the bonds to be refunded plus the remaining principal of the bonds to be refunded, and (B) the principal amount of the refunding bonds does not exceed the amount required to defease the refunded bonds, to establish customary debt service reserves, and to pay related costs of issuance.
In order to issue bonds to finance and refinance the activities of the Former Agency, the Former Agency and the Successor Agency entered into a Trust Indenture, dated as of March 1,1990, between the Former Agency and Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as succeeded by the Trustee (the “Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by that First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 1, 1994, between the Former Agency and Bank of America, as succeeded by the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”); a Second Supplemental Indenture between the Former Agency and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as succeeded by the Trustee (the “Second Supplement”), dated as of August 1, 1999; a Third Supplemental Indenture between the Former Agency and Trustee, formerly known as Wells Fargo Bank National Association (the “Third Supplement”), dated as of August 1, 2001; a Fourth Supplemental Indenture between the Former Agency and Trustee, formerly known as Wells Fargo Bank National Association (the “Fourth Supplement”), dated as of March 1, 2004, for the purpose of financing and refinancing redevelopment activities; a Fifth Supplemental Indenture between the Successor Agency and the Trustee, formerly known as Wells Fargo Bank National Association (the “Fifth Supplement”), dated July 1, 2014; and a Sixth Supplemental Indenture between the Successor Agency and the Trustee, formerly known as Wells Fargo Bank National Association (the “Sixth Supplement”) dated October 1, 2016 (collectively with the Indenture, First Supplement, Second Supplement, Third Supplement, Fourth Supplement, Fifth Supplement, Sixth Supplement, the “Original Indenture”).
In order to refund the Prior Bonds, the Successor Agency must approve the issuance of the Refunding Bonds pursuant to the Original Indenture and approve the form of and authorize the execution and delivery of a Seventh Supplemental Indenture, by and between the Successor Agency and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) and the Irrevocable Refunding Instructions (the “Irrevocable Refunding Instructions”), which have been presented at this meeting.
The Continuing Disclosure Certificate must be executed and delivered by the Successor Agency for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the Refunding Bonds and in order to assist the underwriter in complying with Securities and Exchange Commission (“S.E.C.”) Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5).
Under the HSC, the Successor Agency must authorize the issuance of the Refunding Bonds and prepare a debt service savings analysis (the “Debt Service Savings Analysis”) which must be approved by the San Bernardino Countywide Oversight Board. If approved, the California Department of Finance will commence a review period of the Refunding Bonds of up to sixty-five days. The DOF review period is expected to end earlier, but no later than on December 23, 2024, and the refunding is expected to close in January of 2025.

ANALYSIS:
In order to determine compliance with the Savings Parameters for purposes of the issuance by the Refunding Bonds, the Successor Agency has caused its municipal advisor, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc. (the “Municipal Advisor”), to prepare an analysis of the potential savings that will accrue to the Successor Agency. This analysis includes an evaluation of the savings for all applicable effected taxing entities resulting from the use of the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds to repay all or a portion of the Prior Bonds and, thereby, to refund all or a portion of the Prior Bonds (the “Debt Service Savings Analysis”).
The Debt Service Savings Analysis has determined that the proposed refunding of the Prior Bonds through the issuance of the Refunding Bonds satisfies the applicable HSC sections. (A) The total interest cost to maturity on the proposed Refunding Bonds plus the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds does not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on the Prior Bonds to be refunded plus the remaining principal of the Prior Bonds to be refunded. (B) The $90,705,000.00 in principal amount of the Refunding Bonds does not exceed the amount required to defease the Prior Bonds, to establish customary debt service reserves, and to pay related costs of issuance.
The net effect of the proposed refunding bonds based on current bond market conditions and the proposed bond defeasance is expected to reduce current total bond debt service from $119,557,250.00 to $110,161,912.50, a reduction of $9,395,337.50. This amount is expected to be available as increased residual to impacted tax entities.
The approval of the attached resolution will authorize the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, execution of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, Irrevocable Refunding Instructions, and Continuing Disclosure Certificate and allow for the debt service savings described. Following approval by the CWOB, the staff will return to the City Council for approval of a Preliminary Official Statement and Bond Purchase Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, the City has elected to serve as the Successor Agency, however the Dissolution Act expressly clarifies that the City and the Successor Agency are legally separate public entities. Based on current market conditions, the proposed refunding is estimated to result in total debt service savings of $9,395,337.50. These savings are allocated proportionally to the applicable taxing entities, which include the City and the City Fire District, among others. Of the estimated total gross annual savings, 5.04% will be allocated to the City, 12.31% will be allocated to the City’s Fire Protection District, and the remaining 82.65% will be passed on to the other taxing entities. The table below shows the aggregate projected annual savings as well as the combined annual savings from the City’s and the City’s Fire Protection District’s shares of the aggregate projected annual savings.

Section 7.Filing of Debt Service Savings Analysis and Resolution. The Secretary of the Successor Agency is hereby authorized and directed to file the Debt Service Savings Analysis, together with a certified copy of this Resolution, with the Oversight Board, and, as provided in Section 34180(j) with the San Bernardino County Administrative Officer, the San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller and the California Department of Finance.

EXHIBIT A
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES
The good faith estimates set forth herein are provided with respect to the Refunding Bonds in accordance with California Government Code Section 5852.1. Such good faith estimates have been provided to the Successor Agency by the Municipal Advisor in consultation with the Underwriter.
Principal Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Successor Agency that, based on the financing plan and current market conditions, it’s good faith estimate of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunding Bonds to be sold is $90,705,000 (the “Estimated Principal Amount”), which excludes approximately $8,724,300 of net premium estimated to be generated based on current market conditions. Net premium is generated when, on a net aggregate basis for a single issuance of bonds, the price paid for such bonds is higher than the face value of the bonds.
True Interest Cost of the Refunding Bonds.

The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only. The actual principal amount of the Refunding Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the sale of the Refunding Bonds being different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal amount of Refunding Bonds sold being different from the Estimated Principal Amount, (c) the actual amortization of the Refunding Bonds being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market interest rates at the time of sale of the Refunding Bonds being different than those estimated for purposes of such estimates, (e) other market conditions, or (f) alterations in the financing plan or finance charges, or a combination of such factors. The actual date of sale of the Refunding Bonds and the actual principal amount of Refunding Bonds sold will be determined by the Successor Agency, on behalf of the City, based on the timing of the need for proceeds of the Refunding Bonds and other factors. The actual interest rates borne by the Refunding Bonds will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. The actual amortization of the Refunding Bonds will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the Successor Agency.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of a Listed Event described in subsection (a)(viii) need not be given under this subsection any earlier than the notice (if any) of the underlying event is given to owners of affected Bonds pursuant to the Indenture. The Agency hereby agrees that the undertaking set forth in this Disclosure Certificate is the sole responsibility of the Agency and that neither the Trustee nor the Dissemination Agent shall be responsible or liable for determining whether the Agency’s instructions to the Dissemination Agent under this Section 5 comply with the requirements of the Rule.

SECTION 7. Termination of Reporting Obligation. The Agency’s and the Dissemination Agent’s obligations under this Disclosure Certificate shall terminate upon the legal defeasance, prior redemption or payment in full of all of the Bonds. If such termination occurs prior to the final maturity of the Bonds, the Agency shall give notice of such termination in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5(c).
SECTION 8. Dissemination Agent. The Authority hereby appoints Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the initial Dissemination Agent hereunder to assist them in carrying out their obligations under this Disclosure Certificate.

The Dissemination Agent may at any time resign by providing prior written notice of such resignation to the Authority. The Dissemination Agent shall not be responsible in any manner for the content of any report or notice prepared by the Authority pursuant to this Disclosure Certificate.

The Dissemination Agent shall receive compensation for its services provided under this Disclosure Certificate. The Dissemination Agent shall have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Disclosure Certificate, and the Authority shall indemnify and hold the Dissemination Agent, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents, harmless against any loss, expense and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding liabilities due to the Dissemination Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Authority under this section shall survive resignation or removal of the Dissemination Agent and payment of the Bonds. The Dissemination Agent shall not be deemed to be acting in any fiduciary capacity for the Authority, any holder of an Bond or any other party.
SECTION 9. Amendment; Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Disclosure Certificate, the Agency may amend this Disclosure Certificate, and any provision of this Disclosure Certificate may be waived, provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

requirements, change in law, or change in the identity, nature or status of an obligated person with respect to the Bonds, or the type of business conducted;
(b) The undertaking, as amended or taking into account such waiver, would, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, have complied with the requirements of the Rule at the time of the original issuance of the Bonds, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances; and
(c) The amendment or waiver does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, materially impair the interests of the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.
In the event of any amendment or waiver of a provision of this Disclosure Certificate, the Agency shall describe such amendment in the next Annual Report, and shall include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact on the type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial information or operating data being presented by the Agency. In addition, if the amendment relates to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change shall be given in a filing with the MSRB, and (ii) the Annual Report for the year in which the change is made should present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the former accounting principles.
SECTION 10. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Certificate shall be deemed to prevent the Agency from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination set forth in this Disclosure Certificate or any other means of communication, or including any other information in any Annual Report or notice required to be filed pursuant to this Disclosure Certificate, in addition to that which is required by this Disclosure Certificate.
