CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: March 15, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Kris Watson, Director of Animal Services
Department: Animal Services
Subject: Purchase of Dog Kennels for the Animal Shelter (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Goods Purchase Agreement with Shor-Line for the purchase of new dog kennels to be installed at the animal shelter.
Background
Since 2019, the City has made several improvements to the animal shelter, including constructing play yards for the dogs, upgrading electrical panels throughout the facility, installing a new ventilation system into the cat ward as well as demolishing old buildings and adding two new modular offices to increase the level of service the department can offer to the public. To date, these investments by the City in the animal shelter have been crucial in resolving the most critical needs of the Department.
Discussion
One of the most critical areas of the shelter needing improvement is the veterinary isolation ward. Animals that are sick are traditionally kept in this area for treatment and to reduce disease transmission to the remainder of the healthy population. The shelter’s current isolation ward is original to the facility and is out of date with current animal welfare standards to prevent illness. In order to reduce disease transmission and properly safeguard the health of the animals entrusted to the shelter, a new veterinary isolation ward needs to be completed on campus.
The Department obtained a quote from Shor-Line for new kennels, consistent with current animal welfare standards. The kennels are larger than those in our current isolation ward and will have solid sides and kennel doors to reduce disease transmission between dogs. Shor-Line is the only large-scale manufacturer of dog kennels in the United States, and recently merged with the other manufacturer of kennels, Midmark. The kennels from Shor-Line include a patented drain design, are of

high quality and made from stainless steel, making them easy to sanitize. There are older Shor-Line kennels at the shelter which were installed over forty years ago and are still in good working condition despite daily disinfection with harsh chemicals. The Department has included a single source justification for the purchase from Shor-Line due to the unique requirements for this purchase.
This is a crucial purchase for the Department. If Animal Services is unable to complete the additional dog kennel building, the Department will not have the kennel space needed to house the number of dogs coming into the shelter. Additionally, the level of care the Department can provide to sick animals will continue to be below current animal welfare standards.
Once installed, these new kennels will add 17 full size and 17 half size kennels to the isolation ward. An additional six smaller kennels will be added to the receiving area, expanding the space available for smaller dogs arriving overnight to the shelter. The kennels will be bolted to the cement floor, allowing them to be moved to another building or location in the future, if needed.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for the purchase of new dog kennels aligns with Strategic Target No. 3:
Improved Quality of Life. New kennels consistent with current animal welfare industry standards will increase the quality of care the shelter is able to provide to sick and injured pets. The new kennels will also improve the appearance of the animal shelter campus, leading to an improved quality of life for the pets impounded at the shelter and for members of the public visiting the facility.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund for this purchase. The cost will be $184,860.37, and the Department will be using grant funding from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians already included in the Animal Services FY 2022/23 Operating Budget for this purchase.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the Goods Purchase Agreement with Shor-Line for the purchase of new dog kennels to be installed at the animal shelter.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
GOODS PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Goods Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into this 16th day of March 2023, by and between the City of San Bernardino, a charter city and municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of California with its principal place of business at Vanir Tower, 290 North D Street, San Bernardino, California 92401, County of San Bernardino, State of California (“City”), and Shor-Line, a CORPORATION, with its principal place of business at 511 Osage Ave, Kansas City, Kansas 66105 (“Supplier”).
City and Supplier are sometimes individually referred to as “Party” and collectively as “Parties” in this Agreement.
Section 1. DEFINITIONS.
A. “Goods” means all machinery, equipment, supplies, items, parts, materials, labor or other services, including design, engineering and installation services, provided by Supplier as specified in Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Payments otherwise due may be withheld by City on account of defective Goods not remedied, liens or other claims filed, reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of liens or other claims, failure of Supplier to make payments properly to its subcontractors or for material or labor, the failure of Supplier to perform any of its other obligations under the Agreement, or to protect City against any liability arising out of Supplier’s failure to pay or discharge taxes or other obligations. If the causes for which
Packet Pg.

If any person refuses to furnish an actual release or receipt in full, Supplier may furnish a bond satisfactory to City to indemnify City against any claim or lien at no cost to City.
E. Acceptance by Supplier of payment of the final Progress Milestone payment pursuant to Section 7.D will constitute a waiver, release and discharge of any and all claims and demands of any kind or character which Supplier then has, or can subsequently acquire against City, its successors and assigns, for or on account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of this Agreement. However, payment for the final Progress Milestone by City will not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any claims or demands which City then has, or can subsequently acquire, against Supplier, its successors and assigns, for or on account of any matter or thing arising out of, or in any manner connected with, the performance of this Agreement.
Section 8. SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY.

D. Supplier will, upon written request, submit to City written evidence of any filings or payments of all taxes required to be paid by Supplier hereunder.
Section 10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Supplier enters into this Agreement as an independent contractor and not as an employee of City. Supplier shall have no power or authority by this Agreement to bind City in any respect. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be inconsistent with this relationship or status.

JUSTIFICATION OF SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE REQUEST
ITEM Description: __Shor-Line Kennels______________________DATE: __12/22/2022_______
Select Source:
__X _Sole Source: Item is manufactured and/or only distributed by one vendor. ____Single Source: Item is available from several vendors, but item is the only one that will work
Please answer all questions in detail, in order to prevent delays in the evaluation. Please do not provide one sentence answers. If any additional pages are needed to answer all questions, please attached all pages to this document.
1. Why is the acquisition restricted to this good/service/supplier? (Explain why the acquisition cannot be competitively bid). Please enter answer below:
Shor-Line and Midmark, merged in 2021, making this the only large-scale manufacturer of kennels in the US. The merged company has almost 100 years of experience in constructing kennels specifically for veterinary hospitals and animal shelters.
2. Describe the uniqueness of the purchase (why was the good/service/supplier chosen?) Please enter the answer below:
Shor-Line kennels use materials that are easy to sanitize and are proven to withstand daily wear and tear from large dogs. Shor-Line has a patented drain design making the kennels more sanitary and easier for staff to do daily cleaning and disinfection. The existing shelter has Shor-line kennels that were installed over 30 years ago – although the size of the kennels may not be consistent with current animal welfare industry standards, the kennels themselves are still in good working order and are a testament to the quality workmanship this company provides.
3. What are the consequences of not purchasing the good/service or contracting with the proposed supplier?
We would not be able to complete the additional dog kennel building and would not have the kennel space needed to house the number of dogs coming to the shelter. The level of care the department can provide to sick animals would continue to be below current animal welfare standards.
4. What market research was conducted to substantiate the single source, including evaluation of other items considered?
a. (Please provide a narrative of your efforts to identify other similar or appropriate goods/services, including a summary of how the department concluded that such alternative are either inappropriate
Packet Pg.
42 or unavailable. The names, addresses and phone numbers of suppliers contacted and the reasons for not considering then must be included or an explanation of why the survey or effort to identify other goods/services was not performed.)
There is no alternative to these kennels. Chain link dog runs are not sufficient to house sick and injured animals. The materials used in the construction of these kennels as well as the design reduces the chance for illnesses to spread amongst the population. The construction of the drains is necessary for the department to ensure proper sanitation and humane housing of the dogs in their care.
5. How was the price offered determined to be fair and reasonable? Explain what the basis was for comparison and include cost analyses as applicable. (I.E. Compared to vendor’s previous or current offer to the city or to another agency/company – or any other method of comparison that will substantiate fair and reasonable pricing in the absence of competition) The price of the kennels is standard throughout the industry.
6. Describe any cost savings realized or costs avoided by acquiring the goods/services from this supplier.
In order to have something similar, we would need to have a contractor design and then build the kennels. It is unknown what the cost for this would be, or if the final product would be comparable to the kennels from Shor-Line. Shor-Line is a factory direct manufacturer of these products and have years of experience in this specialty.
Packet Pg.
43 Shor-Line is a factory direct manufacture and is sole source in the veterinary education, animal control and animal humane organizations for custom Shor-Line products in the United States of America.

2 CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: March 15, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community and
Economic Development
Department: Community, Housing, and Economic Development (CED) Subject: Irrevocable Agreement to Annex No. 2023-373 (Ward 6) Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-042 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1.Approving the application to the Local Agency Formation Commission to provide City sewer services to property located within the unincorporated territory at 2971 North Macy Street, San Bernardino, California; and
2.Authorizing the City Manager to execute an Irrevocable Agreement to Annex.
Background
In 1994, the California Government Code Section was amended by the addition of Section 56133, which requires the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to approve the provision of new City services outside its corporate boundaries. The annexation of single parcels is not desirable since it creates uneven boundaries and creates confusion regarding the delivery of other City services. The subject property is contiguous to City boundaries; however, annexation of this property would result in other islands.
In September of 1997, the City of San Bernardino adopted Resolution No. 97-275, a policy relative to the provision of sewer services outside of City boundaries. The policy includes a payment of $1,300 for the initial sewer connection application processing fee. Additionally, petitioners will pay all LAFCO related fees directly to LAFCO and the normal sewer capacity and connection fees to the Water Department for processing the Irrevocable Annexation Agreement.

2 The policy also requires the land use to be consistent with the City's General Plan and the property owner to execute an "Irrevocable Agreement to Annex" in the event that this property is included in an annexation proceeding sometime in the future.
Discussion
On December 13, 2022, the San Bernardino Water Department received a request for sewer services from the owners of a parcel located at 2971 North Macy Street (APN:
0268-051-32) for a connection to the sewer collection system. The property owner is abandoning the existing septic tank and desires to connect to the sewer collection.
The Water Department has indicated that there is adequate capacity at the wastewater treatment plant to serve the subject property and the Water Department has indicated that the existing industrial use is consistent with the City's General Plan. The Water Department has determined that there is an available 18-inch vitrified clay pipe sanitary sewer main within June Street, fronting the subject parcel.
LAFCO requires the Agency providing the service to complete the application. The resolution will allow the City to submit an application to LAFCO if approved by Mayor and City Council. Upon approval by LAFCO, the Irrevocable Agreement to Annex will be executed between the City and the property owner.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The Irrevocable Agreement to Annex is consistent with Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development, specifically 4b: Update the General Plan and Development Code, as it ensures this property meets General Plan use and will be included in a future City annexation of this unincorporated area.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The sewer connection and application processing fee of $1,300 has been paid by the applicant. The applicant will also pay the corresponding sewer capacity and connection fees to the Water Department, and other LAFCO application fees.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-042 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1.Approving the application to the Local Agency Formation Commission to provide City sewer services to property located within the unincorporated territory at 2971 North Macy Street, San Bernardino, California; and
2.Authorizing the City Manager to execute an Irrevocable Agreement to Annex.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: March 15, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department: Community, Housing, & Economic Development (CED) Subject: Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of San Bernardino and the San Bernardino Municipal Water
District Regarding the Land Designation of 796 E. 6th
Street, 3250 Harrison Street, and Glendenning Way
Properties (Wards 1 & 7)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-043 of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of San Bernardino and the San Bernardino Municipal Water District regarding the land designation of 796 E. 6th Street, 3250 Harrison Street, and Glendenning Way and authorize the Interim City Manager, or his designee, to execute the MOU.
Background
The City of San Bernardino owns properties located at 3250 Harrison Street (APN:
0153-201-14-0000) and an undeveloped piece of land known as “Glendenning Way” (APN: 0153-161-07-0000).
The property located at 3250 Harrison Street was previously leased to the County of San Bernardino and designated as a Mountain Search and Rescue Station. The most recent lease with the County of San Bernardino expired in May of 2018 and the property has remained vacant since this time. Moreover, the property located at Glendenning Way is currently undeveloped and zoned for flood control use. The location, size, and zoning of this property would likely prohibit future residential or commercial development and offers limited future utility to the City.
The City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department owns the property located at
Packet Pg.
61 1
1 6
9 796 E. 6th Street (APN 0278-191-30). This property is approximately 2.48 acres and was most recently occupied by the School of Hope, which serviced developmentally disabled adults. The Water Department’s lease agreement with the School of Hope terminated in November of 2022. The Water Department has since determined that there is no use for this site.
In April of 2021, the Water Department conducted a groundwater well siting study to identify new well locations. The Water Department currently operates 51 groundwater wells which provide 100% of the Department’s water supply. However, additional wells are necessary to ensure efficient and reliable water supply for the community. The Water Department’s study identified several new potential groundwater well sites throughout the City, including the City-owned properties located at 3250 Harrison Street and Glendenning Way. These two properties are not currently designated for Water Department use.
At the request of City and Water Department staff, appraisals were performed on all three properties. The Water Department’s property, located at 796 E. 6th Street, was valued at $1,062,000, assuming that the existing structures were to be demolished and the site was ready for development. Additionally, 3250 Harrison Street was valued at $330,000 and Glendenning Way valued at $75,000.
Lastly, the cost of demolished the structure on the 796 E. 6 th Street is $687,500 (Attachment 6). When subtracting the cost of demolition from the appraised value of the property ($1,062,000), the net present value of the property is $374,500.
Discussion
Redesignation of land use of the aforementioned properties is proposed to allow the City to utilize the property located at 796 E 6 th Street as a homelessness navigation center and to allow the Water Department to utilize the 3250 Harrison and Glendenning Way properties for groundwater wells. The subject MOU, outlining the actions that will allow the redesignations, has been developed by Water Department and City staff, along with the City Attorney’s office.
On February 14, 2023, the Water Board unanimously approved the redesignation of all three properties and authorized the General Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding. Staff is now recommending that the City Council approve the redesignation of all three properties and authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No 3. Improved Quality of Life. This project will contribute to ensuring the City is clean and attractive through mitigating the effects of homelessness and provide the much-needed infrastructure designed for sustained success.

9 Fiscal Impact
As previously noted, the value of the Water Department property located at 796 E. 6th Street is calculated as follows: appraised value ($1,062,000) subtracting demolition costs of ($687,500) = net value of $374,500.
The value of City properties located at 3250 Harrison Street and Glendenning Way are $330,000 and $75,000, respectively (collectively $405,000).
At the conclusion of this Land Designation, the Water Department will owe the City $30,500 ($405,000 (Value of City properties) - $374,500 (Value of Water Property) = $30,500 due to City). This balance will be paid from the Water Department to the City resulting in a net zero value deficiency.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-043 of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of San Bernardino and the San Bernardino Municipal Water District regarding the land designation of 796 E. 6th Street, 3250 Harrison Street, and Glendenning Way and authorize the Interim City Manager, or his designee, to execute the MOU.

PROPERTY HISTORY
The property has not sold in the last 3-years
MARKET AND EXPOSURE TIME
Exposure period is the amount of time the real property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal. Marketing period is an opinion of the amount of time it might take to sell the real property interest after the effective date of the appraisal.
Sales of similar type properties, including the sale comparables used in this report were analyzed and had a wide range of exposure periods. According to knowledgeable professionals, the marketing time for properties like the subject varies considerably. According to interviews with brokers and market participants involved in these transactions, an adequate exposure for the subject would be approximately one to three months if properly priced and marketed. Based on our findings, we believe an exposure and marketing time of 1-3 months for the subject property is considered reasonable and appropriate.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITION
The property is being appraised as if it were vacant multi-Family zoned land available for development, free from contamination or environmental hazards.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Property information came from assessor records online Internet research in an interview with the client. The overall property is 21.33 acres. The part being appraised is 2.48 acres as shown on the following map.
Packet Pg.

At the request of the
client, we are appraising
the smaller parcel of 2.48
acres which has been used
as a school site, As If is a
standalone parcel which is
a hypothetical. Further we
are appraising the smaller
parcel as if it has been
cleared of all
improvements and site
improvements, is free
from contamination and
available for development.
The client informs us that
they are getting bids to
demolish the
improvements, clear the
site and dispose of the
materials on site.
This appraisal is as if the site were vacant and available for development to its highest and best use.
We have further been informed that the likely zoning on the property if not owned by the City would be Multi-Family residential.

IMPROVEMENT DESCRIPTION
Property Type: Specialty – School/Classroom Buildings No. of Perm. Bldgs.: 5 (as shown below) Year Built: 1956 (estimated) Subject Unit Area (SF): 16,342 SF (NRA); as follows:
Parking: We estimate parking capacity of 35-40 vehicles throughout parking lot.
FF&E: Furniture, fixtures and equipment are not given any consideration in the valuation analysis.

Improvement Discussions
Improvement #1 (Art Studio/Workshops): The interior improvements include a mix of vinyl tile, exposed concrete flooring, and ceramic tile in the restrooms. Partitions are painted drywall and ceilings are primarily stipple (“popcorn”) with some painted drywall in the restrooms. Lighting is primarily surface-mounted fluorescent throughout. There is a fire alarm system and 4 restrooms.
We observed many items of deferred maintenance and this improvement is considered to be in below average to poor condition. We note that we were provided with a hand-drawn sketch that showed the exterior measurements of this building to be 161’ x 45’ (area of 7,245 SF). Our on-site measurements of this building were 160’ x 36’ which calculates to an area of 5,760 SF – a figure that will be utilized in the valuation section of this report.
Improvement #2 (Administration Building): The interior improvements include carpet flooring throughout, ceramic tile in the restroom, painted drywall partitions, and a mix of stipple (“popcorn”) and T-bar ceiling with acoustic tiles. Lighting is primarily surface-mounted fluorescent lighting. There is a fire alarm system and we only observed two restrooms. We observed that the interior of this improvement had recently been updated with new carpet and paint and we did not see any items of deferred maintenance.
Improvement #3 (Classrooms): At the time of our inspection, the interior of this building was completely gutted, including demoed concrete for what appeared to be plumbing purposes, and we observed active remodeling taking place. It appears that there are 8 classrooms containing 1 to 2 restrooms per room. For the purposes of the valuation section of this report, it is an assumption of this report that the renovations have been completed.
Improvement #4 (Workshop): We were not provided interior access to this improvement during our inspection. The exterior of this improvement is in poor condition and it is our opinion that it does not provide contributory value to the property. As such, the square footage of this improvement will not be considered in the valuation section of this report.
Improvement #5 (Garden Shed): We were not provided interior access to this improvement during our inspection. The exterior of this improvement is in poor condition and it is our opinion that it does not provide contributory value to the property. As such, the square footage of this improvement will not be considered in the valuation section of this report.
Site Improvements
Site improvements include good-condition iron fencing/gates along the perimeter of the property, a permanent basketball hoop, some landscaping along the property’s frontage (including trees).
Approximately 61% of the subject property is paved with asphalt or concrete, most of which is worn and in need of repair/resurfacing. Additionally, there are two covered patio areas.
Packet Pg.
81 9
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
The property is zoned for Public Service. It is the intent of the owners to demolish and dispose of the improvements on the property which have reached the end of their economic life.
We are appraising the property As If Vacant and available for its highest and best use. City officials indicated that if the land were vacant it would be zoned for Multi Family development.
Our data search included looking for medium to high density unimproved and unentitled residential land in the City. Most the high density residential land in the City has already been developed.
Therefore we included some lower density sales also.

VALUATION ANALYSIS
The following analysis represents the Market Data (or Sales Comparison) Approach. The selection criterion included looking for sales that had zoning that would allow similar uses to that of the subject. Our survey uncovered sufficient comparable sales that were located in the subject’s market area within the City and considered useful value indicators for the subject site.
In the course of this assignment, we analyzed closed sales and active for-sale listings and ultimately selected several that are exemplary and considered to be most similar to the subject. The following is the list of selected comparables:
Packet Pg.
83 11
1 Recent sales of properties that have one or more major points of comparison, indicates a range from $59 per Square Foot to $97 and a mean of $78, median of $76.
The Subject improvements are larger than most and a portion of the building size is worksho p area. For these reasons, I have concluded that the most probable a value is $65/SF within a 5% range, or $61.75 to $68.25.
The value based on 16,342 square feet of improvements at $65/SF calculates as $1,062,230.
My conclusion is that the most probable market value is closest to $1,062,000.

ADDENDA
Definition of Market Value:
"The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: Buyer and seller are typically motivated; Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale." (Source: Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Chapter I, Part 34.42(g]; also Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, Federal Register, 75 FR 77449, December 10, 2010, page 77472)

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This appraisal is subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions:
No responsibility is assumed for matters legal in character or nature. No opinion is rendered as to title, which is assumed to be good and marketable. All existing liens, encumbrances, and assessments have been disregarded, unless otherwise noted, and the property is appraised as though free and clear, having responsible ownership and competent management.
We have examined the property described herein exclusively for the purposes of identification and description of the real property. The objective of our data collection is to develop an opinion of the highest and best use of the subject property and make meaningful comparisons in the valuation of the property.
The appraiser's observations and reporting of the subject improvements are for the appraisal process and valuation purposes only and should not be considered as a warranty of any component of the property. This appraisal assumes (unless otherwise specifically stated) that the subject is structurally sound, and all components are in working condition.
We will not be required to give testimony or appear in court because of having made an appraisal of the property in question, unless specific arrangements to do so have been made in advance, or as otherwise required by law.
We have noted in this appraisal report any significant adverse conditions (such as needed repairs, depreciation, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) discovered during the data collection process in performing the appraisal.
Unless otherwise stated in this appraisal report, we have no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent physical deficiencies or adverse conditions of the property (such as, but not limited to, needed repairs, deterioration, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, adverse environmental conditions, etc.) that would make the property less valuable, and have assumed that there are no such conditions and make no guarantees or warranties, express or implied. We will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because we are not experts in the field of environmental hazards, this appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment of the property. We obtained the information, estimates, and opinions furnished by other parties and expressed in this appraisal report from reliable public and/or private sources that we believe to be true and correct.
We will not disclose the contents of this appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, and/or applicable federal, state or local laws.

Scope of Work 6
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Valuation Methodology
Three approaches to value are typically considered when developing a market value opinion for real property. These are the cost approach, the sales comparison approach, and the income capitalization approach. Use of the approaches in this assignment is summarized as follows:
Approaches to Value
Approach Applicability to Subject Use in Assignment
Cost Approach Applicable Utilized
Sales Comparison Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized
Income Capitalization Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized The cost approach is the most reliable valuation method for the subject due to the following:
There is sufficient data to develop reliable estimates of land value and replacement cost of the improvements.
This approach is typically most relevant for properties for which sales and rental data is limited.
The sales comparison approach is not applicable to the assignment because:
While there are sales of fire stations, we were unable to find sales of search and rescue stations. Additionally, the subject property is highly depreciated and is situated on land within a flood zone, has a Public Flood Control zoning, and a majority of the land is impacted by a flood control easement. As a result, there is limited or no sales data of properties which have all these features.
The income capitalization approach is not applicable to the assignment considering the following:
There is not an active rental market for similar properties that would permit us to develop a reliable estimate of the property's income generating potential. This approach does not reflect the primary analysis undertaken by a typical purchaser.
Similar properties are typically owner-occupied, decreasing the reliability of this approach.
Significant Appraisal Assistance
It is acknowledged that Alexa Amata made a significant professional contribution to this appraisal, consisting of conducting research on the subject and transactions involving comparable properties and assisting in report writing, under the supervision of the persons signing the report.

Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Conclusion
The San Bernardino County economy will be affected by a growing population base and lower income and education levels. San Bernardino County experienced growth in the number of jobs over the past decade, and it is reasonable to assume that employment growth will occur in the future. While there is still some uncertainly in the markets as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, overall, the long-term prospects for the region are positive. Having said that, inflation is of great concern nationally, and the Federal Reserve Board is increasing interest rates to help reduce inflation. The impacts of these changes are anticipated to slow the economy. The longer-term outlook is uncertain at this point.

Outlook and Conclusions
The area is in the stability stage of its life cycle. Recent development activity in the immediate area is limited to scattered infill locations and has been centered on residential uses. It should be noted that there is still a level of uncertainty in the markets as result of the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation and rising interest rates.

Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Residential Market Analysis
The subject property is zoned PFC, Public Flood Control zone. This zone allows single-family dwelling units which legally existed prior to adoption of the PFC Zone. Development is allowed within the PFC zone, but any use other than for flood control purposes is subject to review. In addition, any development must be compatible with surrounding development and land use designations. Based on our conversations with City Planning staff, a low intensity use would be allowed.
The subject property is located in a single-family residential neighborhood. Based on our planning interviews, review of the zoning code, and analysis of the surrounding neighborhood, it is our opinion that a low intensity use would be possible on the subject property. The lowest intensity use in the surrounding area is single-family residential. Therefore, for the purposes of our analysis, we have included a residential market analysis. The following information is for improved single-family residential properties. This is included as the market for single-family land generally follows similar trends to the improved single-family market. However, we note that other factors, such as construction costs also impact land values.
Single-Family Sale Trends
The health of the housing industry and demand are generally tied to the health of the economy. While the COVID-19 pandemic caused a great deal of uncertainty in the economy, housing has not been adversely impacted the way other sectors of the economy were impacted. The fact that work-from- home has become an accepted reality has somewhat lessened the impact of location as being the most important factor in home purchases. Pricing of single-family residences continued to increase throughout the pandemic. Inventory has been low over the past few years. Interest rates were historically low at the end of the 2021 year. However, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates in both June and July of this year in an effort to combat inflation. This has led to a slight decrease in demand over the last two months.
Redfin reports that prices for single-family residences in San Bernardino were up 19.4% in June 2022 compared to June 2021. They report the median sale price in June 2022 was $477,500. However, they report the marketing time as slightly longer in June 2022, with an average marketing time of 22 days compared to 18 days the prior year. Redfin reports 162 homes were sold in June 2022, a slight decrease from the 170 homes which were sold in June 2021.
The following chart was provided by Redfin and shows the median sale price in San Bernardino over the last three years.

Residential Market Analysis 20
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station As shown, the median sale price in San Bernardino was approximately $350,000 at the start of 2020 and was $477,500 as of June 2022. Overall, price levels have grown significantly over the last few years. However, brokers report they no longer expect this rate of increase to continue due to the significant increases in interest rates over the last few months.
The following chart shows information on sale-to-list price ratios in San Bernardino.
As shown above, in late 2020 the sale-to-list price ratio climbed above 100%. This means that the average home was selling above list price. The sale-to-list price ratio has remained above 100% since late 2020. However, as shown on the chart, the ratio has started to fall in the last few months. Redfin reports 21.3% of homes had price drops in the last year. They report this is a 12.7 point increase year-

Interest Rates
Interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages were at historic lows of approximately 3% at the end of the 2021 year. However, interest rates have risen significantly in the last few months. The following chart was provided by Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).
As shown above, interest rates were declining between 2020 and the end of 2021. However, interest rates have risen significantly in the last few months and a 30-year fixed rate mortgage is currently above 5% compared to 3% at the beginning of the year. This interest rate increase significantly reduces buying power and puts downward pressure on housing prices. The brokers we interviewed when confirming sales indicated the rise in interest rates has already begun to impact pricing and that they anticipate price levels to begin to stabilize or even decline.
Monthly Single-Family Sale Trends
Due to the recent increases in interest rates, we conducted the following analysis of price levels over the last few months. The following information was compiled by utilizing the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The following table shows trends in single-family home prices in the city of San Bernardino over the past seven months.

% Change From Prior Month 1.53% 1.81% -0.30% 0.89% 1.77% -4.93% Source: Multiple Listing Service
As shown on the preceding table, the median price for single-family homes increased over the first four months of 2022. However, the median price was relatively flat between April and July and only ranged from $470,000 to $480,000. This is consistent with our broker interviews and the Redfin reported average sale price of $477,500 for June 2022. In addition, the number of homes sales in July was lower than any of the prior six months. Although this decline in the number of home sales has only occurred in the latest month, it may be indicative of a decline in housing demand due to interest rate increases.
Construction Costs
The preceding data relates to the improved single-family market. To gain an understanding of the residential land market we researched construction costs trends. Construction costs impact land value if their growth rate is substantially different than growth rates for improved properties.
The following table shows the California Construction Cost Index (CCCI) as reported by the State of California Department of General Services (DGS). The data includes costs for properties within the cites of San Francisco and Los Angeles only. However, the general trend shown is generally reflective of construction costs within the subject market area.

June CCCI 6,598 6,854 7,041 7,746 8,925
% Change from Prior Year 3.88% 2.73% 10.01% 15.22%
Source: California Department of General Services
As shown on the preceding data, construction costs have increased significantly in the last two years.
DGS reports increases of approximately ten to fifteen percent over the past two years. The Redfin data indicated a nearly twenty percent increase in the sale prices of improved single-family homes within San Bernardino. The increases in price levels for single-family homes have slightly outpaced the increase in single-family home prices over the last year. This puts slight upward pressure on land prices.
Conclusion
The subject property’s assumed zoning is a residential estate zone with a highest and best use of residential development. The preceding analysis shows the single-family residential market was strong

Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station with significant price increases through 2021. June 2022 year-over-year data also shows significant price increased compared to June 2021. However, there have been significant interest rate increases in the last two months. As a result, we also analyzed monthly home sales over the first seven months of the year. This data shows single-family home prices in the city of San Bernardino have begun to stabilize. In addition, the number of homes sold in July 2022 was lower than the prior six months.
Finally, constructions costs have increased, although at a slightly lower rate than improved single- family home values. Overall, after years of significant price level increases, the increase in interest rates may be causing prices and demand to stabilize.
Based on the data presented and our conversations with market participants, the market for residential land is anticipated remain stable in the near future. However, we note that if interest rates and construction costs continue to rise, this may negatively impact the residential land market in the subject area.

Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Easements, Encroachments and Restrictions
A current title report was not provided for review. However, we are aware that there is an easement which impacts a significant portion of the subject property. David Drake, Division Chief of the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (SBCFCD), indicated SBCFCD has an easement over a majority of the subject property. He indicated the flood control area is called the Twin Creek Spreading Grounds. The easement was granted in 1941 to SBCFCD. Mr. Drake provided the following map which shows the easement area shaded in blue.
The preceding map shows the subject property outlined in yellow. The SBCFCD has an easement over the area shaded in blue. We also note that areas shaded in red are owned in fee by the SBCFCD. As shown above, the easement impacts a significant portion of the site. The above map also shows that all the subject improvements are located outside of the easement area.
Our client provided us with a copy of the easement. The easement is a perpetual easement granted for flood control and water conservation purposes. The easement language indicates the easement is on, over and across the property and grants the rights to construct, inspect, maintain and repair channels and structures for the purposes of confining and conserving the waters of the East Twin

Land Description and Analysis 26
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Creek. The easement also grants the right to enter and pass over the land, deposit tools, to take from the earth rock, sand and gravel for the purpose of excavating, widening, deepening, and rectifying a channel, and for the construction, maintenance and repair of embankments, and any other structures for the purposes of flood control and water conservation purposes. Finally, the easement indicates the SBCFCD has all the rights necessary to confine waters within the easement areas.
Based on our review of the easement language and our conversations with Mr. Drake, the subject property owner or any prospective buyer would have no rights over the land area impacted by the easement. Mr. Drake indicated the SBCFCD has complete jurisdiction over the easement area and they would not allow any private use of the area. As a result, the easement impacts the useable land area of the subject property.
A potential buyer of the subject property would be required to purchase the entire land area.
However, in our opinion, a buyer would not assign any value to the land area impacted by the easement because the SBCFCD has essentially all the rights over the area. We have therefore deducted the land area subject to the easement from the gross land area to arrive at a useable land area. Our client has provided us with an estimated useable land figure of 1.10 acres. We have relied on their provided figure. We also note that we got a similar figure utilizing Google Earth. We have assumed their provided figure is accurate. If it is found to be inaccurate, our value conclusions may change.
As indicated earlier, we were not provided with a title report for the subject property. Besides the easement already discussed, we are not aware of any other easements, encroachments, or restrictions that would adversely affect value. This valuation assumes there are no other adverse impacts from easements, encroachments, or restrictions, and further assumes that the subject has clear and marketable title.

The subject property consists of 3.67 gross acres. However, a majority of the subject property is subject to a flood control easement. The City of San Bernardino provided us with an estimate of 1.10 acres for the area outside of the easement area. We have utilized their provided figure as the useable land area. This figure represents 30% of the land area with 70% of the land area impacted by the flood control easement. We assume that these figures are accurate.

We note there is a drainage ditch to the south of the subject. The Zone A places additional regulations on development. David Drake with SBCFCD indicated that building in flood zones is more restrictive today than when the subject improvements were constructed. He indicated a new development would likely be required to be elevated over the surface. The easterly portion of the site is zoned Zone X. Development potential would not be impacted over this area.

The site is of the useable land area is generally level and at street grade. The topography does not result in any particular development limitations.
Drainage
No particular drainage problems were observed or disclosed at the time of field inspection on the useable land area. This appraisal assumes that surface water collection, both on-site and in public streets adjacent to the subject, is adequate.
Zoning
The subject property is zoned Public Flood Control (PFC) Zone by the City of San Bernardino. The purpose of this zoning district is for the continuation, maintenance, and expansion of public flood control facilities. The subject property is within a flood control area. The properties to the north, west and south are owned or controlled by the San Bernardino Flood Control District. David Drake, Division Chief, with the SBCFCD indicated they own the land area in the subject area in fee or have easements on the properties. He stated they have an easement over a portion of the subject property. We spoke with Travis Martin, Associate Planner, with the City of San Bernardino. He indicated development is allowed within the PFC zone, but any use other than for flood control purposes is subject to review. In addition, any development must be compatible with surrounding development and land use designations. The surrounding land use designations are single-family residential designations, which are low intensity uses. Based on our conversations with City Planning staff, a low intensity use on the subject property would be allowed.
The subject property is located in a single-family residential neighborhood. Based on our planning interviews, review of the zoning code, and analysis of the surrounding neighborhood, it is our opinion that a low intensity use would be possible on the subject property. The lowest intensity use in the surrounding area is single-family residential. The surrounding land area, which is not within the PFC Zone, is zoned Residential Estate and Residential Suburban. The area to the west of the flood control area is zoned Residential Estate. This zoning designation has larger lot size requirements and is therefore less dense than the RS zoning to the east.
Based on our interviews, the subject property has low density development potential. There are little to no sales of publicly zoned land. In order to determine the market value of the subject site, we have considered the development potential of the subject and utilized transactions with involved the sale of properties with similar low density development potential. As a result, we have assumed the subject zoning would be similar to its surrounding, non-publicly owned sites. Accordingly, we appraise the subject land that is outside of the easement area as if it were allowed to be developed with a residential use, the lowest intensity use in the surrounding neighborhood.
The following table summarizes the zoning requirements for the Residential Estate zone designation.

Potential Development Density
Approximately 70% of the site is impacted by a flood control easement. As a result, this portion of the subject property is unusable and has no development potential. The remaining land area is not impacted by the easement. However, a majority of the remaining land area is within Flood Zone A.
According to David Drake, this area can be developed but the development would need to be slightly elevated due to the flood zone. Our assumed zoning is Residential Estate which allows a single-family residence at a maximum density of one unit per acre. The useable subject area is approximately 1.10 acres. As a result, the maximum development potential under the assumed zoning is one single-family residence.
Conclusion of Site Analysis
As was previously discussed, approximately 70% of the site is impacted by a flood control easement.

Quality and Condition
The improvements are of average quality construction and are in poor to fair condition. The subject property has been vacant for over three years and has not had any recent renovation to the living areas. The kitchen, bathrooms, and locker rooms were in poor to fair condition. The living room/office area was in fair to average condition. However, the garage was in average condition.
The exterior of the building was in fair condition. However, the site improvements were in poor condition. The parking lot and paved rear area were in poor condition. Overall, the property was in poor to fair condition. The garage was the portion of the property that was in the best condition.
Functional Utility
The improvements appear to be adequately suited to a search and rescue operation. Based on the property inspection and consideration of the foregoing, there do not appear to be any significant items of functional obsolescence for a search and rescue use. In addition, the condition of the property is poor to fair overall. Significant improvements would be required to make the space operational.
Deferred Maintenance
Deferred maintenance is identified based on the property inspection. The rear door which provided access to the kitchen was broken by a trespasser and needs to be replaced. City Public Works staff noted the door was damaged by a trespasser and were planning to board up the doorway. In addition, some of the locker doors no longer close properly. We did not test the heating or air conditioning. Our analysis assumes these items are functioning. The subject property lacks any recent renovation and is in poor to fair condition. However, there were no signs of items which needed immediate repair other than the doors already discussed. Our depreciation analysis considers the condition of items such as the locker doors within the subject property. We note that the parking lot was in very poor condition.
In our analysis, we have considered the parking lot improvements as fully depreciated.

Real Estate Taxes 39
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Real Estate Taxes
Real estate tax assessments are administered by the Assessor of San Bernardino County and are estimated by jurisdiction on a county basis for the subject. The property is subject to the property tax rules of the State of California, which control the activities and policies of local assessment jurisdictions. These laws were significantly modified on June 7, 1978, when the State’s voters passed Proposition 13, adding Article XIIIA to the State Constitution.
Proposition 13 abolished the practice of periodic reassessment of properties based on market value appraisals. Instead, real property is subject to reassessment (i.e., revaluation at full or partial current market value) only when changes in ownership or new construction take place. Otherwise, increases in assessed value are limited to a general rate of 2%, plus the rates needed to service any bonded indebtedness. Special assessments can also be added and are often related to the installation of infrastructure. Generally speaking, property taxes in San Bernardino County tend to range from 1.1% to 1.4% of a property’s assessed value. Due to California’s tax laws, most properties within San Bernardino County have very similar effective tax rates.
The subject parcels are owned by the City of San Bernardino and therefore are not subject to real estate taxes. They are located in tax rate area 7228 which carries a 2021/2022 tax rate of 1.2923%.
Real estate taxes would be adjusted upon sale of the subject property.

Highest and Best Use 40
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Highest and Best Use
The highest and best use of a property is the reasonably probable use resulting in the highest value, and represents the use of an asset that maximizes its productivity.
Process
Before a property can be valued, an opinion of highest and best use must be developed for the subject site, both as though vacant, and as improved or proposed. By definition, the highest and best use must be:
Physically possible.
Legally permissible under the zoning regulations and other restrictions that apply to the site. Financially feasible.
Maximally productive, i.e., capable of producing the highest value from among the permissible, possible, and financially feasible uses.
As Though Vacant
First, the property is evaluated as though vacant, with no improvements.
Physically Possible
The physical characteristics of the site impose restrictions on development as approximately 70% of the site is located within a floodway and subject to a flood control easement. In addition, the majority of the remaining area is within Flood Zone A which is an area with 100-year flooding. David Drake, Chief with SBCFCD indicated no development would be allowed within the easement area. He indicated development is possible in the area not impacted by the easement. However, he indicated there would be additional safety requirements due to the flood zone. Overall, the subject’s flood control easement and partial location within a floodway, impose restrictions on development and potential uses.
Legally Permissible
The site is zoned PFC, Public Flood Control. Based on our interviews with planning staff, SBCFCD staff and a review of the zoning code, a low intensity use similar to the characteristics of surrounding developments would be allowed. The lowest intensity zone in the surrounding area is RE, Residential Estate. For the purposes of our analysis, based on the surrounding uses, we have assumed the subject property is zoned RE, Residential Estate. Permitted uses include single-family residences, accessory dwelling units, day care homes, and community care facilities. There is a flood control easement which impacts 70% of the property. No development is legally permissible within this area. There are no other apparent legal restrictions, such as easements or deed restrictions, effectively limiting the use of the property. Given prevailing land use patterns in the area, only low density uses such as single- family residential is given further consideration in determining highest and best use of the site, as though vacant.

Highest and Best Use 41
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Financially Feasible
Based on the accompanying analysis of the market, there is currently adequate demand for single- family residences in the subject’s area. It appears a newly developed single-family residential use on the site would have a value commensurate with its cost. Therefore, single-family residential is considered to be financially feasible.
Maximally Productive
There does not appear to be any reasonably probable use of the site that would generate a higher residual land value than single-family residential. Accordingly, single-family residential developed to the normal market density level permitted by zoning, is the maximally productive use of the property.
Conclusion
Development of the site for single-family residential is the only use which meets the four tests of highest and best use. Therefore, it is concluded to be the highest and best use of the property as though vacant.
As Improved
The subject site is developed with a special purpose property consisting of a search and rescue station.
The existing improvements, while in poor to fair condition, can continue to be utilized. Based on our analysis, there does not appear to be any alternative use that could reasonably be expected to provide a higher present value than a search and rescue use, and the value of the existing improved property exceeds the value of the site, as if vacant. For these reasons, use as a search and rescue station, is concluded to be maximally productive and the highest and best use of the property as improved.
Most Probable Buyer
Taking into account the size and characteristics of the property and its special purpose use, the likely buyer is search and rescue type agency or an owner-user.

Valuation Methodology 42
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Valuation
Valuation Methodology
Appraisers usually consider three approaches to estimating the market value of real property. These are the cost approach, sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach.
The cost approach assumes that the informed purchaser would pay no more than the cost of producing a substitute property with the same utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the improvements being appraised are relatively new and represent the highest and best use of the land or when the property has unique or specialized improvements for which there is little or no sales data from comparable properties.
The sales comparison approach assumes that an informed purchaser would pay no more for a property than the cost of acquiring another existing property with the same utility. This approach is especially appropriate when an active market provides sufficient reliable data. The sales comparison approach is less reliable in an inactive market or when estimating the value of properties for which no directly comparable sales data is available. The sales comparison approach is often relied upon for owner-user properties.
The income capitalization approach reflects the market’s perception of a relationship between a property’s potential income and its market value. This approach converts the anticipated net income from ownership of a property into a value indication through capitalization. The primary methods are direct capitalization and discounted cash flow analysis, with one or both methods applied, as appropriate. This approach is widely used in appraising income-producing properties.
Reconciliation of the various indications into a conclusion of value is based on an evaluation of the quantity and quality of available data in each approach and the applicability of each approach to the property type.
The methodology employed in this assignment is summarized as follows:
Approaches to Value
Approach Applicability to Subject Use in Assignment
Cost Approach Applicable Utilized
Sales Comparison Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized
Income Capitalization Approach Not Applicable Not Utilized We begin our valuation by determining the value of the underlying land. The second step is to determine the depreciated replacement cost of the improvements and add it to the value of the land to determine an overall value.

Land Valuation 43
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Land Valuation
To develop an opinion of the subject’s land value, as if vacant and available to be developed to its highest and best use, we utilize the sales comparison approach. Our search for comparable sales focused on transactions within the following parameters:
Location: Properties within a two-mile radius of the subject property Size: Properties 0.5 to 5 acres in size.
Use: Sites that can be put to low density, single-family residential uses. As previously discussed, for the purposes of our analysis, we have assumed a Residential Estate zoning designation for the subject.
Transaction Date: January 2021 through the present.
For this analysis, we use price per usable acre as the appropriate unit of comparison because market participants typically compare sale prices and property values on this basis. The most relevant sales are summarized in the following table.

Comments: This listing broker indicated the sale consisted of five parcels of land. He stated the property was unentitled at the time of sale and the buyer planned to construct two single-family residences on the property. He also said the property is next to the flood control bank, with residential surroundings on all other sides.
Comments: The listing broker indicated the property had been legally subdivided into three lots and was ready to be built. As a result, the property was entitled at the time of sale. We also confirmed the sale with the buyer's broker, Meljorie Castelo. She confirmed the property had been subdivided into three lots and three residences could be constructed on the property. However she stated the buyer purchased the property for truck parking, but may eventually construct residences on the property.
Comments: The listing broker indicated the property was unentitled at the time of sale. She stated she did not represent the buyer but believes he purchased the property to construct a single-family residence. She said the property included views of the area to the south.
The property is located on a canyon with single-family residential surroundings.
Comments: The listing broker was one of the owner's of the property. She indicated the property did not have legal access and that an easement would need to be granted over an adjacent single family residence. Her parents owned the residence to the south and would not grant one. Although it has a Marshall Boulevard street address, it does not have frontage on Marshall Boulevard. However, the buyer of this property also purchased an adjacent residence. The listing broker stated the sale price for this property considered the fact that it did not have legal access. The property is adjacent to the flood control area. The surroundings to the north, west and south primarily consist of single-family residences and vacant sites.

Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Analysis and Adjustment of Sales
The sales are compared to the subject and adjusted to account for material differences that affect value. Adjustments are considered for the following factors, in the sequence shown below.
Adjustment Factor Accounts For Comments
Effective Sale Price Atypical economics of a transaction, such as demolition cost or
expenditures by buyer at time of
purchase.
No adjustments were warranted.
Real Property Rights Fee simple, leased fee, leasehold, partial interest, etc.
No adjustments were warranted.
Financing Terms Seller financing, or assumption of
existing financing, at non-market
terms.
No adjustments were warranted.
Conditions of Sale Extraordinary motivation of buyer
or seller, assemblage, forced sale.
No adjustments were warranted.
Market Conditions Changes in the economic
environment over time that affect
the appreciation and depreciation
of real estate.
As indicated in the residential
market analysis, single-family
residence prices showed a nearly
20% increase over the last year.
However, prices have been
generally level the last three
months due to increasing interest
rates. In addition, construction costs
have also increased at a rate of
approximately 15% over the last
year. This nearly offsets the
increases in improved property
values. As a result, we have utilized
a rate of 5% per year up to May
2022 for improving market
conditions.
Location Market or submarket area
influences on sale price;
surrounding land use influences.
All of the comparables are within
two miles of the subject property
and were similar in terms of
location.
Access/Exposure Convenience to transportation
facilities; ease of site access;
visibility; traffic counts.
Sale No. 1 has frontage and access
along two streets. It was superior in
terms of access and required a
downward adjustment. Sale No. 4
lacks legal access. It was therefore

inferior in terms of access and
required an upward adjustment.
Size Inverse relationship that often
exists between parcel size and unit
value.
The useable land area for the
subject property is 1.1 acres. Sale
No. 2 was over three acres in size
and was inferior. An upward
adjustment was warranted.
Shape and
Topography
Primary physical factors that affect
the utility of a site for its highest
and best use.
Sale Nos. 1 and 4 have rectangular
shapes which are more suitable for
development. These sales were
superior in terms of shape and
required downward adjustments.
Zoning Government regulations that affect
the types and intensities of uses
allowable on a site.
All of the sale comparables are
zoned for low density single-family
residential development. No
adjustments were warranted.
Entitlements The specific level of governmental
approvals attained pertaining to
development of a site.
According to both the seller’s
broker and the buyer’s broker, Sale
2 had approvals for a three lot
subdivision. It was therefore
superior in terms of entitlements
and required a downward
adjustment.
View Accounts for any scenic views. The comparables located north of 40th Street are located in a canyon
with views. Sales 2 and 3 were
superior in terms of view. These
sales required downward
adjustments.

Sale 2 is the only comparable which
is within Flood Zone A. It required
no adjustments. Sale 3 is located
within Flood Zone X, where no flood
insurance is required. It was
superior and required a downward
adjustment. Sales 1 and 3 are
located within Flood Zone X-500,
which includes areas inundated by
500-year flooding, compared to the
subject’s 100-year flooding area.
These comparables were also

The sale comparables range from $60,982 to $147,059 per acre. Sale No. 1 is rectangular in shape and has frontage on two streets. It was superior overall. Sale No. 2 had approvals for a three-lot subdivision and was superior in terms of entitlements. Based on the analysis, we have bracketed the underlying land value of the subject as inferior to Sale 3 at $82,114 per acre and slightly superior to Sale 4 ($60,982 per acre). Sale 4 was considered to be the most similar. It is adjacent to the flood control area, but lacks frontage and direct access. As a result, it was slightly inferior. Based on our comparison analysis, we arrive at a land value conclusion as follows:
Land Value Conclusion
Indicated Value per Usable Acre $65,000
Subject Usable Acres 1.10
Indicated Value $71,500
Rounded $70,000
A potential buyer of the subject property would be required to purchase the entire land area.
However, in our opinion, a buyer would not assign any value to the land area impacted by the easement because the SBCFCD has essentially all the rights over the area. We have therefore deducted the land area subject to the easement from the gross land area to arrive at a useable land area. In our opinion, the area impacted by the flood control easement has a nominal value. As such, although the above analysis is done on a useable land area basis, the resulting value conclusion is applicable to the entire subject property land area.

Cost Approach 52
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Cost Approach
The steps taken to apply the cost approach are:
Develop an opinion of the value of the land as though vacant and available to be developed to its highest and best use, as of the effective date of the appraisal; Estimate the replacement cost new of the existing improvements using Marshall Valuation Service;
Estimate depreciation from all causes and deduct this estimate from replacement cost new to arrive at depreciated replacement cost of the improvements; and Add land value to the depreciated replacement cost of the improvements to arrive at a market value indication for the property overall.
Replacement Cost
Replacement cost is the estimated cost to construct, at current prices as of a specified date, a substitute for a building or other improvements, using modern materials and current standards, design, and layout. Estimates of replacement cost for the purpose of developing a market value opinion include three components: direct costs, indirect costs (also known as soft costs) and entrepreneurial incentive.
Direct Costs
Direct costs are expenditures for labor, materials, equipment and contractor’s overhead and profit.
We use Marshall Valuation Service (MVS) as the basis of our direct cost estimate. In addition to direct costs, MVS includes certain indirect costs such as architectural and engineering fees, and interest on building loan funds during construction.
Indirect Costs
MVS does not include all of the indirect costs that are appropriate in a replacement cost estimate.
Therefore, we add an allowance for the following indirect costs that are not contained within MVS:
taxes and carrying costs on land during construction; legal and accounting fees; and marketing and finance costs prior to stabilization. We estimate that a 10% allowance for additional indirect costs is appropriate.
Entrepreneurial Incentive
Entrepreneurial incentive is the financial reward that a developer would expect to receive in addition to recovering all direct and indirect costs. This is the expected compensation that would be necessary to motivate a developer to undertake the project. Entrepreneurial incentive for similar properties typically ranges from 10% to 15%. An estimate of 15% is applied to the total replacement costs used in this analysis.

Depreciation
Depreciation is the difference between the replacement cost new of the improvements and their contribution to overall property value on the effective date of the appraisal. There are three major causes of depreciation:
1. Physical deterioration - The loss in value due to the wear and tear that begins when a building is completed and placed into service. Physical deterioration can be curable (referred to as deferred maintenance) or incurable.
2. Functional obsolescence - The loss in value due to changes in market tastes and standards.
Similar to physical deterioration, functional obsolescence can be curable or incurable.
3. External obsolescence - The loss in value due to negative external influences. These influences can be temporary or permanent and are generally incurable by the owner, landlord or tenant.
There are three principal methods of estimating depreciation: the market extraction method, the economic age-life method, and the breakdown method. The economic age-life method is used in this analysis.
Economic Age-Life Method
In the economic age-life method, depreciation is estimated by dividing the effective age of the improvements by their total economic life. This method results in a lump sum estimate for all depreciation, including the loss in value from all physical, functional and external obsolescence.
Packet Pg.

Cost Approach 55
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Deferred Maintenance - Prior to applying the ratio from the economic age-life method, deferred maintenance is deducted. The rear door which provided access to the kitchen was broken and needed to be replaced. At the time of our inspection, the doorway was being enclosed. We have assumed that the broken door has been repaired. The subject property lacks any recent renovation and is in poor to fair condition. However, there were no signs of items which needed immediate repair other than the door already discussed. We note that the parking lot was in very poor condition. In our analysis, we have considered the parking lot improvements as fully depreciated. As a result, no additional adjustment for deferred maintenance was warranted.
Functional Obsolescence – A deduction for functional obsolescence is intentionally withheld from the preceding effective age/total economic life ratio. We have not made an adjustment for functional obsolescence.
External Obsolescence - A deduction for external obsolescence is intentionally withheld from the preceding effective age/total economic life ratio. We have not made an adjustment for external obsolescence.

The straight line depreciation results in a depreciation rate of 85.7%. A depreciation rate of over 80% is indicative of a property that is beyond its useful life. We have considered that the garage still provides good utility and is in average condition. Based on our inspection and considering the utility of the garage, a deprecation rate of 75% would be appropriate for the subject property.

According to the client, the building roof and the concrete driveway were replaced in 2003, nearly twenty years ago. We note that the concrete driveway was in average condition compared to the rear yard concrete paving and the asphalt paved parking lot. No other improvements were reported. Due to the lack of any significant renovation in many years, the building is highly depreciated.
In addition, the asphalt paved parking lot and the rear concrete paved lot areas are cracking and are at the end of their life expectancies. In our opinion these site improvements are fully depreciated. The concrete paved driveway is in better condition than the parking lot and warranted a lower effective age.
Value Indication
By combining our land value conclusion with the depreciated replacement cost of the improvements, we arrive at a value indication by the cost approach as shown in the following table.

Reconciliation and Conclusion of Value 57
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station Reconciliation and Conclusion of Value
The cost approach is the only applicable method. This is the most reliable valuation method for the subject due to it being a special purpose property. The sales comparison and income approaches are not judged to be applicable. For the sales comparison approach, while there are sales of fire stations, we were unable to find sales of search and rescue stations. Additionally, the subject property is highly depreciated and is situated on land within a flood zone, has a Public Flood Control zoning, and a majority of the land is impacted by a flood control easement. As a result, there is limited or no sales data of properties which have all these features. The income approach is not applicable, as there is not an active rental market for similar properties that would permit us to develop a reliable estimate of the property’s income generating potential. Therefore, only the cost approach is utilized.

3. There are no hidden or undisclosed conditions of the land or of the improvements that would render the property more or less valuable. Furthermore, there is no asbestos in the property.

5. The property is in compliance with all applicable building, environmental, zoning, and other federal, state and local laws, regulations and codes.
6. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable, but no warranty is given for its accuracy.
This appraisal and any other work product related to this engagement are subject to the following limiting conditions, except as otherwise noted in the report:
1. An appraisal is inherently subjective and represents our opinion as to the value of the property appraised.
2. The conclusions stated in our appraisal apply only as of the effective date of the appraisal, and no representation is made as to the effect of subsequent events.
3. No changes in any federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes (including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code) are anticipated.
4. No environmental impact studies were either requested or made in conjunction with this appraisal, and we reserve the right to revise or rescind any of the value opinions based upon any subsequent environmental impact studies. If any environmental impact statement is required by law, the appraisal assumes that such statement will be favorable and will be approved by the appropriate regulatory bodies.
5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we are not required to give testimony, respond to any subpoena or attend any court, governmental or other hearing with reference to the property without compensation relative to such additional employment.
6. We have made no survey of the property and assume no responsibility in connection with such matters. Any sketch or survey of the property included in this report is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be scaled accurately for size. The appraisal

Assumptions and Limiting Conditions 62
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station covers the property as described in this report, and the areas and dimensions set forth are assumed to be correct.
7. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights, if any, and we have assumed that the property is not subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of such materials, unless otherwise noted in our appraisal.
8. We accept no responsibility for considerations requiring expertise in other fields. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, legal descriptions and other legal matters such as legal title, geologic considerations such as soils and seismic stability; and civil, mechanical, electrical, structural and other engineering and environmental matters. Such considerations may also include determinations of compliance with zoning and other federal, state, and local laws, regulations and codes.
9. The distribution of the total valuation in the report between land and improvements applies only under the reported highest and best use of the property. The allocations of value for land and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used. The appraisal report shall be considered only in its entirety. No part of the appraisal report shall be utilized separately or out of context.
10. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraisers, or any reference to the Appraisal Institute) shall be disseminated through advertising media, public relations media, news media or any other means of communication (including without limitation prospectuses, private offering memoranda and other offering material provided to prospective investors) without the prior written consent of the persons signing the report.
11. Information, estimates and opinions contained in the report and obtained from third-party sources are assumed to be reliable and have not been independently verified.
12. Unless otherwise stated in the report, no consideration has been given to personal property located on the premises or to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property; only the real property has been considered.
13. The current purchasing power of the dollar is the basis for the values stated in the appraisal; we have assumed that no extreme fluctuations in economic cycles will occur.
14. The values found herein are subject to these and to any other assumptions or conditions set forth in the body of this report but which may have been omitted from this list of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions.
15. The analyses contained in the report necessarily incorporate numerous estimates and assumptions regarding property performance, general and local business and economic conditions, the absence of material changes in the competitive environment and other matters. Some estimates or assumptions, however, inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, actual results achieved during the period covered by our analysis will vary from our estimates, and the variations may be material.
16. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not made a specific survey or analysis of the property to determine whether the physical aspects

158
Assumptions and Limiting Conditions 63
Former San Bernardino County Mountain Search & Rescue Station of the improvements meet the ADA accessibility guidelines. We claim no expertise in ADA issues, and render no opinion regarding compliance of the subject with ADA regulations.
Inasmuch as compliance matches each owner’s financial ability with the cost to cure the non- conforming physical characteristics of a property, a specific study of both the owner’s financial ability and the cost to cure any deficiencies would be needed for the Department of Justice to determine compliance.
17. The appraisal report is prepared for the exclusive benefit of you, your subsidiaries and/or affiliates. It may not be used or relied upon by any other party. All parties who use or rely upon any information in the report without our written consent do so at their own risk.
18. No studies have been provided to us indicating the presence or absence of hazardous materials on the subject property or in the improvements, and our valuation is predicated upon the assumption that the subject property is free and clear of any environment hazards including, without limitation, hazardous wastes, toxic substances and mold. No representations or warranties are made regarding the environmental condition of the subject property. IRR - Los Angeles, Integra Realty Resources, Inc., and their respective officers, owners, managers, directors, agents, subcontractors or employees (the “Integra Parties”), shall not be responsible for any such environmental conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist.
Because we are not experts in the field of environmental conditions, the appraisal report cannot be considered as an environmental assessment of the subject property.
19. The persons signing the report may have reviewed available flood maps and may have noted in the appraisal report whether the subject property is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. However, we are not qualified to detect such areas and therefore do not guarantee such determinations. The presence of flood plain areas and/or wetlands may affect the value of the property, and the value conclusion is predicated on the assumption that wetlands are non-existent or minimal.
20. We are not a building or environmental inspector. The Integra Parties do not guarantee that the subject property is free of defects or environmental problems. Mold may be present in the subject property and a professional inspection is recommended.
21. The appraisal report and value conclusions for an appraisal assume the satisfactory completion of construction, repairs or alterations in a workmanlike manner.
22. IRR - Los Angeles is an independently owned and operated company. The parties hereto agree that Integra shall not be liable for any claim arising out of or relating to any appraisal report or any information or opinions contained therein as such appraisal report is the sole and exclusive responsibility of IRR - Los Angeles. In addition, it is expressly agreed that in any action which may be brought against the Integra Parties arising out of, relating to, or in any way pertaining to the engagement letter, the appraisal reports or any related work product, the Integra Parties shall not be responsible or liable for any incidental or consequential damages or losses, unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with intentional misconduct. It is further expressly agreed that the collective liability of the Integra Parties in any such action shall not exceed the fees paid for the preparation of the assignment (unless

23. IRR - Los Angeles is an independently owned and operated company, which has prepared the appraisal for the specific intended use stated elsewhere in the report. The use of the appraisal report by anyone other than the Client is prohibited except as otherwise provided.
Accordingly, the appraisal report is addressed to and shall be solely for the Client’s use and benefit unless we provide our prior written consent. We expressly reserve the unrestricted right to withhold our consent to your disclosure of the appraisal report or any other work product related to the engagement (or any part thereof including, without limitation, conclusions of value and our identity), to any third parties. Stated again for clarification, unless our prior written consent is obtained, no third party may rely on the appraisal report (even if their reliance was foreseeable).
24. The conclusions of this report are estimates based on known current trends and reasonably foreseeable future occurrences. These estimates are based partly on property information, data obtained in public records, interviews, existing trends, buyer-seller decision criteria in the current market, and research conducted by third parties, and such data are not always completely reliable. The Integra Parties are not responsible for these and other future occurrences that could not have reasonably been foreseen on the effective date of this assignment. Furthermore, it is inevitable that some assumptions will not materialize and that unanticipated events may occur that will likely affect actual performance. While we are of the opinion that our findings are reasonable based on current market conditions, we do not represent that these estimates will actually be achieved, as they are subject to considerable risk and uncertainty. Moreover, we assume competent and effective management and marketing for the duration of the projected holding period of this property.
25. The appraisal is also subject to the following:
Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
1. Our client has provided us with a useable land area figure which excludes the land area impacted by the flood control easement. We assume this figure is accurate. If it is found to be inaccurate, our value conclusion may change.
1. None.
The use of any extraordinary assumption or hypothetical condition may have affected the assignment results.
The value conclusions are based on the following hypothetical conditions. A hypothetical condition is a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purpose of analysis.
The value conclusions are subject to the following extraordinary assumptions. An extraordinary assumption is an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.

Comments
The listing broker was one of the owner's of the property. She indicated the property did not have legal access and that an easement would need to be granted over an adjacent single family residence. Her parents owned the residence to the south and would not grant one. Although it has a Marshall Boulevard street address, it does not have frontage on
Marshall Boulevard. However, the buyer of this property also purchased an adjacent residence. The listing broker stated the sale price for this property considered the fact that it did not have legal access. The property is adjacent to the flood control area. The surroundings to the north, west and south primarily consist of single-family residences and vacant sites.

4 THE INTRODUCTION CURRENT OWNERSHIP/PROPERTY HISTORY According to our review of public records, title to the subject parcel is currently vested in the City of San Bernardino. Public records indicate that the subject parcel has not had a full market transfer during the past five years and our review of LoopNet indicates that it is not currently listed for sale. MARKET AND EXPOSURE TIME Sales of similar type properties were analyzed and had a wide range of exposure periods. According to knowledgeable professionals, the marketing time for properties like the subject varies considerably. Based on our research, we believe an exposure and marketing time of six to twelve months for the subject property, if properly priced, is considered reasonable and appropriate. HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS/EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS No hypothetical conditions or extra ordinary assumptions have been utilized for this report. SUBJECT OCCUPANCY Subject is vacant land. THE LOCATION San Bernardino County/Inland Empire The appraised property is located in the southwestern portion of San Bernardino County and the western portion of the region known as the “Inland Empire," one of the fastest growing regions in the State of California. From 2010-2020, the United States Census Bureau reports that the two-county area of the Inland Empire (Riverside-San Bernardino) added 374,988 people to reach 4,599,839 up 8.9%. The Inland Empire forms the largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the nation with over 27,308 square miles and its population ranks the Inland Empire as the 13th most populous MSA in the United States, as of 2020. Although the region's large industries had been affected by the Great Recession (2006-2011), the Inland Empire is projected to remain California's fastest-growing region for some time to come. Inexpensive land prices (compared to Los Angeles and Orange Counties), a large supply of vacant land, and a transport network where many highways and railroads intersect have made the Inland Empire a major shipping hub. Some of the nation's largest manufacturing companies have chosen the Inland Empire for their distribution facilities including Toyota Motor Corporation's North American Parts and Logistics Distribution (NAPLD) center in Ontario and APL Logistics in Rancho Cucamonga. More than 80 percent of the state's imported cargo is shipped through the Los Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor.

5 The City of San Bernardino The subject property is located in the northeastern portion of the City of San Bernardino, in the 7th Council Ward District. San Bernardino is strategically located at the hub of an extensive transportation network and is within short commuting distances of major employment centers in Southern California. Several major transportation systems pass through the City, including three major freeways – the San Bernardino (I-10) Freeway, the Riverside (I-215) Freeway and the Foothill (210) Freeway. San Bernardino is bordered by the cities of Colton and Loma Linda on the south; Redlands and Highland on the east; the San Bernardino National Forest on the north; and the City of Rialto on the west. The City's location is well positioned as an intermodal logistics hub. The City hosts the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway's Intermodal freight transport yard, the Yellow Freight Systems' cross-docking trucking center, and Pacific Motor Trucking. Large warehouses for Kohl's, Mattel, Pep Boys, and Stater Bros. have been developed near the San Bernardino International Airport (former Norton AFB). The City’s financial health has been improving in recent years, recovering from a 2012 bankruptcy. According to the City’s 2019 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, there has been a notable increase in taxable value of property within the City, a clear reflection of improvements in the local economy. Specifically, the City of San Bernardino experienced a net taxable value increase of 9.5% for the 2019- property tax roll, which was a greater increase than the 6.5% growth expected countywide.

6 Subject Neighborhood The subject’s neighborhood consists primarily of residential zoning and includes some flood control, public recreation, public facilities, and commercial zoning, as well. The neighborhood may be described as Waterman Avenue (CA 18) to the west, 40th Street to the north, Del Rosa Avenue to the east, and the 210 Freeway to the south. The subject property is located along the western side of a flood control pathway between Valencia Avenue to the west, Parkdale Street to the north, and Glendenning Avenue to the south. There are restaurants, retail buildings, major medical facilities, religious buildings, schools, public parks, and access to the 210 Freeway – all within 2 miles of the subject. PROPERTY INFORMATION (APN: 0153-161-07) Lot size: 79,655 SF / 1.83 Acres (irregularly shaped lot [raw land] with generally level topography) Tax Information: The subject property is in tax area 7228 but is not subject to property tax as it is owned by a government entity.
Subject Zoning The subject property has (PFC) Public Flood Control zoning. Per the City’s municipal code, the purpose of the PFC zone is to provide for the continuation, maintenance, and expansion of public flood control facilities.

8 EASEMENTS Public utility and roadway easements are considered typical. No adverse conditions, easements or encroachments were observed during the inspection of either site. Identification of these items is of a legal nature and an attorney specializing in this field should be consulted for their opinion concerning these items. This report is not intended to render any opinion whatsoever regarding any adverse title conditions, easements or encroachments that may affect the subject property. Our value estimate is, however, predicated upon there being no adverse title conditions, easements or encroachments that would cause a loss in value or prohibit development and no responsibility is assumed for any such conditions or for any expertise or knowledge required to discover them. SUBJECT PHOTOS The following subject photos represent only a sampling of the photos taken during our inspection. We have retained all subject photos in our workfile, which are available upon request.

10 MARKET ANALYSIS / HIGHEST AND BEST USE CONCLUSION (See addendum for Highest and Best Use definitions) As mentioned, the subject has flood control zoning – a land use for which there is no significant active sales market. The subject is, however, located directly adjacent to a residential neighborhood along its western boundary line and there is an active market for residential land within the subject’s City of San Bernardino market. In consideration of the subject’s zoning, a market purchase of the subject property would likely be purely speculative in nature. The buyer would need to take all the required steps of petitioning the City of San Bernardino for a zoning change to residential use, which is the use adjacent directly west of the subject. Only if a zoning change were to be granted (there are no guarantees this could be achieved,) then, considering the subject’s irregular (triangular) shape, the subject could be developed with one-to-two single family residential improvements. The location, shape (triangular,) and size (1.83 acres) of the subject property combined with the time, costs, and uncertainty associated with obtaining a zoning change would likely be prohibitive and serve as a deterrent to a typical residential developer/buyer. Conclusion (As Is - Vacant) Based on the above discussions, it is our conclusion that the subject’s highest and best use, as is (vacant and available for development,) would likely be for the property to remain vacant/undeveloped and under governmental ownership. VALUATION ANALYSIS The following analysis represents only the Market Data (or Sales Comparison) approach to value. The income and cost approaches to value were considered and have been excluded due as their inclusion is not required to obtain credible results for the purpose of this report. Sales Comparison Approach There is a dearth of sales data for vacant land with flood control zoning throughout southern California and, as a result, we will utilize sales of residentially zoned land – a land use which the subject is located directly adjacent to – and apply an appropriate discount in our valuation. An investigation was undertaken to locate sales of vacant residential land properties in the subject’s market area that could be used to provide direct market indications of the subject’s value. Our survey focused primarily on the properties most comparable to the subject, including lot sizes between 1 and 5 acres (subject is 1.83 acres,) within 10 miles of the subject, that occurred within the past 2 years. Our search revealed a significant number of vacant residential land sales in the subject’s greater market area, including the 20 sales utilized as comparables in our valuation.

12 Considering the utilized comparables’ close proximity to the subject (within 10 miles,) their sizes (range of 1 to 4.3 acres,) their dates of sale (within ±22 months,) and the abundance (20) of comparables utilized, we determined that individual adjustments to the comparables would not be required. Our selected comparables have a dollar per acre range of $25,686 to $85,385 with an average of $61,820. As mentioned, the subject’s flood control zoning is a detriment to its developability and marketability and, thus a discount would be appropriate. In this regard, it is our opinion that the subject’s market value would most likely fall below the average of the data set, somewhere between $30,000 and $50,000 dollars per acre. As such, we have selected a rounded $40,000 per acre for the subject which indicates a value of $73,200 for the subject’s 1.83 acres. We conclude that the market value of the subject’s fee simple estate, as of 1/26/2022 is: SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS $75,000 (rounded) Map of Comparables

16 ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS This appraisal is subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions: No responsibility is assumed for matters legal in character or nature. No opinion is rendered as to title, which is assumed to be good and marketable. All existing liens, encumbrances, and assessments have been disregarded, unless otherwise noted, and the property is appraised as though free and clear, having responsible ownership and competent management. We have examined the property described herein exclusively for the purposes of identification and description of the real property. The objective of our data collection is to develop an opinion of the highest and best use of the subject property and make meaningful comparisons in the valuation of the property. The appraiser's observations and reporting of the subject improvements are for the appraisal process and valuation purposes only and should not be considered as a warranty of any component of the property. This appraisal assumes (unless otherwise specifically stated) that the subject is structurally sound, and all components are in working condition. We will not be required to give testimony or appear in court because of having made an appraisal of the property in question, unless specific arrangements to do so have been made in advance, or as otherwise required by law. We have noted in this appraisal report any significant adverse conditions (such as needed repairs, depreciation, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) discovered during the data collection process in performing the appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in this appraisal report, we have no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent physical deficiencies or adverse conditions of the property (such as, but not limited to, needed repairs, deterioration, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, adverse environmental conditions, etc.) that would make the property less valuable, and have assumed that there are no such conditions and make no guarantees or warranties, express or implied. We will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because we are not experts in the field of environmental hazards, this appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment of the property. We obtained the information, estimates, and opinions furnished by other parties and expressed in this appraisal report from reliable public and/or private sources that we believe to be true and correct. We will not disclose the contents of this appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, and/or applicable federal, state or local laws. The Client is the party or parties who engage an appraiser (by employment contract) in a specific assignment. A party receiving a copy of this report from the client does not, as a consequence, become a party to the appraiser-client relationship. Any person who receives a copy of this appraisal report as a consequence of disclosure requirements that apply to an appraiser's client, does not become an intended user of this report unless the client specifically identified them at the time of the assignment. The appraiser's written consent and approval must be obtained before this appraisal report can be conveyed by anyone to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other media.

17 ADDENDUM Definition of Market Value: In accordance with USPAP 2020-2021, Market Value is defined as a type of value, stated as an opinion, that presumes the transfer of a property (i.e., a right of ownership or a bundle of such rights), as of a certain date, under specific conditions set forth in the value definition that is identified by the appraiser as applicable in an appraisal. Market Value is further defined by agencies that regulate federally insured financial institutions in the United States as follows: The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. Both parties are well informed or well advised and each acting in what they consider their best interests; 3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4. Payment is made in terms of cash in US dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales commissions granted by anyone associated with the sale. Definition of As Is Market Value: "The estimate of the market value of real property in its current physical condition, use, and zoning as of the appraisal date." (Source: Appraisal Institute, The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 6th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2015); also, Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, Federal Register, 75 FR 77449, December 10, 2010, page 77471). Highest and Best Use Definitions: Highest and best use is defined as: “The reasonably, probable legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility and maximum productivity.” The above definition of the “Highest and Best Use” is in reference to land that is unimproved. In cases of improved land, a determination of the contributory value of the improvements to the land must be made. The improvements found on a site may be of inappropriate use but will usually continue until the land value in its highest and best use exceeds the total value of the property in its existing use. The subject property is vacant and, therefore, its highest and best use will be solely analyzed as if unimproved and available for development. It should be noted that a highest and best use determination represents an appraiser's opinion based on their judgment and the application of several forms of analyses. Like value, it is not a fact that can be found. The highest and best use of land as though vacant and property as improved must meet four basic tests. These tests consist of the following (see addendum for supportive definitions):
Packet Pg.
191
18 1. Is the use legally permissible or reasonably possible? 2. Is the use physically possible on the site? 3. Is the use economically and financially feasible under proposed and projected market conditions? 4. Is the use estimated to be the most productive among the alternatives that are legally permissible, physically possible, and economically feasible? Highest and Best Use - As If Vacant Highest and Best Use of the site as vacant assumes that a parcel of land is vacant or could be vacant by demolishing the improvements. Given this assumption, this analysis determines the size, quality, and function that would provide the highest return to the land. The four criteria of the Highest and Best Use (see above) provide a basis for analysis. To form an opinion as to the Highest and Best Use as if vacant, we considered the physical attributes of the subject property, its zoning, location and known governmental influences, and the uses of surrounding properties. An in-depth feasibility analysis on the possible alternative uses of the site is beyond the scope of this appraisal assignment. However, in analyzing the subject property, we have investigated the regional, city, and neighborhood characteristics, as well as overall market conditions. Details regarding each category are presented in respective sections of this appraisal report. Highest and Best Use – As Improved The highest and best use of an improved property at a given time means that use of the land, which produces the most benefits and, therefore, the highest improved property value. The “use” in the case of improved property refers to the type of use, as well as how this use is to be exercised in the future. In determining the highest and best use of the property as improved, three use potentials exist: 1. the present improvements are demolished, and the land is used for another purpose; 2. the present improvements are retained without substantial physical or operational changes; 3. the present improvements are retained but with significant changes in the physical property (i.e., remodel/addition) or its management. Supportive Definitions for Highest and Best Use Analysis: Legally Permissible Legal permissibility depends on public restrictions such as zoning, building codes, as well as the private or contractual restrictions found in deeds and long-term leases. Current information regarding private restrictions was not provided in this assignment. However, there appears to be no deed or easement restrictions on the property that could affect development. A restriction or long-term ground lease does not encumber the land. Therefore, legal restrictions as they apply to the subject property are primarily the public restrictions of zoning. An industrial development would be considered a legally allowed use and consistent with those of the surrounding area.

192
19 Physically Possible The size, shape, terrain, soil conditions, accessibility, and availability of utilities for a parcel of land affect its utility and adaptability. The physical characteristics of the subject site appear to be adequate in terms of shape, size, topography, available utilities and accessibility. Although the exact soil composition is unknown, it appears that the soil is also adequate to support building improvements. Therefore, it appears that the physical characteristics would allow for the legally permissible uses. Financially Feasible and Maximally Productive According to the Real Estate Terminology Handbook, a real estate project is feasible when the analysis indicates that there is a likelihood of satisfying the explicit objectives and when a selected course of action is tested in the context of specific constraints and limited resources. The feasibility of a real estate project is normally related to its economic potential.

The cost for terminating Gas service could be free of charge if purchasing party plans to obtain Gas Connection on site
This is for on‐site work and could be reduced if there is only one service Will focus on paint and asbestos testing
For full demo, this will be for preparing only with protective measures For full demo, this will be for hauling and fees at dump site Current dump rates
This hauling is very costly. If material can be buried on site, that will help reduce costs.
This is based on current fees
Leave access onto the site interior for demo work
Leave perimeter trees in tact rather than take all from the site The estimate above includes all probable costs, inclusive of the 3 most common phases, of a project from it's conception through the end of demolition. With the greatest costs being in the demolition and hauling of material from on site concrete, a limited plan can be negotiated in an effort to save money where necessary. Some activities are expected to overlap on the schedule; therefore a 120 day contract for construction will be sufficient.
Unit Costs Updated 12/12/2022:The costs here fall in‐line with the latest information provided on the demolition. Some services can be performed in‐house to provide a cost savings. Other services can be eliminated or reduced due to the current status of the property, and what may not be necessary for the purchasing party.

Subject: Resolution No. 2023-044 Authorizing the Recording of a Notice of Cessation of Special Tax Lien for
Community Facilities District No. 2022-1
(Highland/Medical) of the City of San Bernardino. (Sixth Ward)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, Adopt Resolution No. 2023-044 of the City Council of the City of San Bernardino, Acting in its Capacity as the Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Highland/Medical) of the City of San Bernardino, Authorizing the Recording of a Notice of Cessation of Special Tax Lien.
Background
The City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California (the “City”), previously formed Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Highland/Medical) of the City of San Bernardino, County of San Bernardino, State of California (“CFD No. 2022-1”) and the qualified electors approved the levy of special taxes on the real property located within the CFD No. 2022-1 for the purpose of financing the provision of certain services and the acquisition and construction of certain facilities.
Discussion
On January 11, 2023, the City received a formal request from Warmington Highland Village Associates, L.P. (the “Property Owner”) to cause the cancelation of the special tax obligation of CFD No. 2022-1. Section 5330.5 of the Government Code allows for the cessation of special taxes by recording a notice of cessation of special tax.
The Property Owner requested cancelation of the special tax obligation because the planned structure for development of the property has changed. The Property Owner is going to build out the property, rather than selling it to a secondary merchant builder.
Packet Pg.
275
1 1
9 8
With this structure, the Property Owner no longer requires a CFD in place for development. Because no bonds have been issued and no taxes collected, this cessation is appropriate under the Mello-Roos Act.
It is recommended that this resolution be adopted and that a Notice of Cessation and Extinguishment of Special Tax Lien be recorded with the County Recorder for the County of San Bernardino.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. This project will contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure designed for long-term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City, as administrative costs related to the establishment and cessation of CFD No. 2022-1 are paid by a deposit of Warmington Residential California, Inc. (the “Developer”) pursuant to the Developer Deposit Agreement entered into on July 1, 2022 by and between the Developer and the City.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, Adopt Resolution No. 2023-044 of the City Council of the City of San Bernardino, Acting in its Capacity as the Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Highland/Medical) of the City of San Bernardino, Authorizing the Recording of a Notice of Cessation of Special Tax Lien.
