SECTION 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all facts set forth in the recitals above of this Resolution are true and correct and incorporated herein.

SECTION 5. The City of Rialto acknowledges and agrees to the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission’s requirement for imposing legal indemnification as outlined in Policies 10 and 11 of its Accounting and Financial Division of its Policy and Procedure Manual adopted June 2012.
