CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 5, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO: A.
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving Job Description and Salary Range for Public Works Inspector
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: Per the City of Selma Municipal Code Section 2-2-2, section (D), any revisions to class specifications are required to be approved by the City Council. In addition, any updates to the Master Salary Schedule are also required to be approved by the City Council.
DISCUSSION: The City of Selma is continuously recruiting for vacant positions identified within the Adopted 2023/2024 Fiscal Year Budget, as well as identifying positions necessary to provide exceptional service to the community.
City staff is seeking to establish a new job description, and associated salary range, for the following:
Public Works Inspector
The Public Works Inspector position is necessary due to the on-going large quantity of public improvement and capital improvement projects. This also includes the large number of private developments which affect the public right-of-way which need to be inspected and approved daily. The City anticipates partially offsetting the cost of this position with savings from our contract PW Inspector (Yamabe & Horn Engineering), who is more project focused and not available throughout the day for continuous and repeat inspections. The attached job description reflects the desired current requirements for this position.
The new classification was presented to the appropriate bargaining unit prior to submittal as required.
Staff is also recommending that the following salary ranges be adopted for the position listed below:
Current Monthly Proposed Monthly
Public Works Inspector N/A $5,304 - $6,617
A mid-year budget adjustment will be brought to Council to account for the budget impacts associated with the adjusted salary range of the new position.
All other position classifications and salaries, including for all department heads, will be further analyzed as part of the upcoming Classification and Compensation study requested by the City Council December 2023 when the Master Salary Schedule Update was approved. _____________________________________________________________________________ February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 1
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Resolution approving job description and salary range for Public Works Inspector; and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to add to the Master Salary Schedule.

______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: In order to support housing development, meet our Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) target, and facilitate economic development, the City of Selma is in need of significant upgrades, repairs, and construction of wastewater collection facilities within the City. Currently, various residential and commercial development projects are at a stand-still due to the high cost of the necessary upgrades. Development/reimbursement agreements would be entered into between the City and the developers of the benefitting projects to reimburse the City for the cost of the improvements.
The Selma Wastewater Collection Infrastructure Upgrade Project (“the Project”) will provide significant benefits to the Selma community and residents of Fresno County by funding critical infrastructure to support jobs and housing.
Selma is one of Fresno County’s most prominent small cities, located centrally on State Route (SR) 99 within a 15-minute drive south of Fresno along SR 99. The City of Fresno, which is Selma’s metropolitan neighbor to the north, has itself been on a growth trajectory and is experiencing housing inventory shortages, making some of the outlying communities, like Selma, attractive to people who want to remain in the Fresno-Metro region.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 26
Despite its ideal location along SR 99 and its existing commercial activity, Selma’s economic growth has been limited by a lack of investment in critical infrastructure. The City’s aging sewer infrastructure, in particular, is at capacity in many areas of town suitable for infill development. Additionally, many areas planned for development near or just outside the City limits depend on very expensive new sewer mains and trunk lines, which make many projects difficult to fund without issuing debt because of the cost and extent of the infrastructure required.
Making the necessary investments in critical infrastructure will facilitate and encourage housing development. This additional housing development and population growth is likely to result in additional commercial development and job creation, while supporting further economic development.
DISCUSSION: City staff has been working with its independent municipal advisor, NHA Advisors, to analyze and evaluate the capacity to finance the Project. NHA Advisors and the financing team have conducted their own due diligence to ascertain a preferred Plan of Finance that funds the Project and helps maintain the City’s financial sustainability and resiliency. The Project will include the East Selma Wastewater Trunk Line Project.
Bond Structure:
The legal structure for the contemplated bond financing (“2024 Bonds”) will be a lease revenue bond structure. Under such structure, the City’s General Fund revenues provide repayment for the 2024 Bonds, and physical assets are required to serve as the “Leased Asset” to support the financing. This financing structure is similar to what the City executed in 2015 to refinance prior Lease Obligations. Under a lease revenue financing structure, a City cannot legally make debt payments unless it has beneficial use and possession of the facilities that will serve as the leased asset for the financing. The fair rental value of the leased property must be no less than the debt service on the lease revenue bonds. There is no security interest (lien) given in the City leased property.
Existing City assets have been identified as of suitable quality and value to serve as leased assets. These leased assets to support the 2024 Bonds are expected to include Fire Station No. 2, the Old Police Station, the Selma Arts Center and the City’s existing wastewater system. Following installation of the East Selma Wastewater Trunk Line Project, the City’s existing wastewater system is expected to be substituted out of the leased property and the East Selma Wastewater Trunk Line Project is expected to be added in its place. The purchaser of the bonds will be reviewing the proposed properties as part of its credit approval process.
It is expected that the 2024 Bonds will be supported by a level annual lease payment structure that begins amortizing principal immediately and has a final maturity of February 1, 2049.
Financing Documents and Schedule:
Being presented for approval by the City Council and the Authority, as applicable, are the following documents:
Site and Facility Lease: This is an agreement between the City and the Authority providing the mechanism from which the Authority may then lease the identified asset back to the City in exchange for the lease payments sufficient to pay debt service on the 2024 Bonds.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 27
Lease Agreement: This agreement provides for the leasing of the identified asset back from the Authority to the City in exchange for semi-annual lease payments commensurate with the debt service on the 2024 Bonds. The City’s General Fund will make the lease payments over the term of the Lease Agreement.
Assignment Agreement: This is an agreement between the Authority and the Trustee providing the mechanism from which the Authority assigns its rights, title and interest in and to the Lease and Site Lease to the Trustee.
Indenture: The Indenture formalizes the relationship between the Selma Public Financing Authority (issuing the 2024 Bonds) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (“U.S. Bank”) as trustee for the 2024 Bonds. The Indenture describes the terms of the 2024 Bonds, including the payment terms and schedule, prepayment options, other covenants related to the 2024 Bonds, and other administrative items.
Term Sheet: This document summarizes the key terms offered by Capital One Public Funding, LLC (“Purchaser”). Pending approval by the City Council and the Authority, the terms in this document will be used to fill in many of the terms in the other documents.
Placement Agent Agreement: The Placement Agent Agreement among the City, the Authority and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., which is acting as placement agent for the 2024 Bonds. This agreement defines Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.'s role in placing the 2024 Bonds with the Purchaser and identifies the amount to be paid to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. for services provided in that role. This fee is contingent upon a successful closing of the 2024 Bonds.
If City Council and Authority Board elect to approve the two resolutions, City staff will work with the financing team to immediately ready the 2024 Bond transaction for a private placement. Below is a summary of the anticipated financing schedule:
Date Activity
2/5/24 City Council and Authority Board Approve Financing Resolutions 2/6/24 Sign Term Sheet
Before 4/4/24 Close Financing
The City Council resolution sets forth certain parameters upon any sale of the Bonds. These parameters include a par amount of the bonds not to exceed $8,000,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: Based on the term sheet, a General Fund backed lease financing that raises approximately $8,000,000 million for wastewater collection facilities will cost approximately $566,000 annually in lease payments through February 1, 2049, with payments beginning August 1, 2024.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES
The good faith estimates set forth herein are provided with respect to the Bonds in accordance with California Government Code Section 5852.1. Such good faith estimates have been provided to the City by NHA Advisors, LLC, the City’s Municipal Advisor (the “Municipal Advisor”).
Principal Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, based on the City’s financing plan and current market conditions, its good faith estimate of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds to be sold is $8,000,000 (the “Estimated Principal Amounts”).
True Interest Cost of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the respective Estimated Principal Amounts of the Bonds are sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the Bonds, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the Bonds, is 4.93%.
Finance Charge of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amounts of the Bonds are sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the finance charge for the Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs associated with the Bonds), is $250,000.
Amount of Proceeds to be Received. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amounts of the Bonds are sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received by the City for sale of the Bonds, less the finance charge of the Bonds, as estimated above, and any capitalized interest on the Bonds paid or funded with proceeds of the Bonds, is $7,750,000.
Total Payment Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amounts of the Bonds are sold, and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the City will make to pay lease payments that will pay debt service on the Bonds, plus the finance charge for the Bonds, as described above, not paid with the respective proceeds of the Bonds, calculated to the final maturity of the Bonds, is $14,043,194.
The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only and are based on market conditions prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimates on January 29, 2024. The actual principal amount of the Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the sale of the Bonds being different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 35
136157887.4
principal amount of Bonds sold being different from the respective Estimated Principal Amounts, (c) the actual amortization of the Bonds being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market interest rates at the time of sale of the Bonds being different than those estimated for purposes of such estimates, (e) other market conditions, or (f) alterations in the City’s financing plan, or a combination of such factors. The actual date of sale of the Bonds and the actual principal amount of Bonds sold will be determined by the City based on various factors. The actual interest rates borne by the Bonds will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. The actual amortization of the Bonds will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the City.

Such Additional Rental Payments shall be billed to the City by the Authority or the Trustee from time to time. Amounts so billed shall be paid by the City within sixty (60) days after receipt of the bill by the City. (c) Fair Rental Value. Such payments of Base Rental Payments and Additional Rental Payments for each rental payment period shall constitute the total rental for such rental payment period, and shall be paid by the City in each rental payment period for and in consideration of the right of the use and possession of, and the continued quiet use and enjoyment of, the Leased Property during each such period for which said rental is to be paid. The City represents and covenants that the useful life of the Leased Property is not shorter than the final maturity of the Bonds. The parties to the Lease specifically acknowledge that the annual fair rental value of the Leased Property is in excess of the maximum annual Base Rental Payments. In making such determination, consideration has been given to other obligations of the parties under this Lease, the uses and purposes which may be served by the Leased Property and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to the City and the general public. The determination of fair rental value of the Leased Property pursuant to this paragraph shall not be deemed to be controlling in connection with a determination of fair value of the Leased Property by the parties hereto for any other purpose.
(d) Payment of Base Rental Payments. Each installment of Base Rental Payments payable hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of the Trustee at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee in Los Angeles, California, or such other place as the Trustee shall designate. The Base Rental Payments shall be made on a pari passu basis with each other. Notwithstanding any dispute between the City and the Authority, the City shall make all Base Rental Payments when due, without deduction or offset of any kind, and shall not withhold any Base Rental Payments pending the final resolution of any such dispute. In the event of a determination that the City was not liable for said Base Rental Payments or any portion thereof, said Base Rental Payments or excess of payments, as the case may be, shall, at the option of the City, be credited against subsequent Base Rental Payments due hereunder or be refunded at the time of such determination. (e) Increases in Aggregate Base Rental Payments. The City covenants that it shall not permit an increase in the Base Rental Payments without first obtaining an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the incurring of such increased Base Rental Payments will not impair the validity and enforceability of this Lease.
(f) Covenant to Budget and Appropriate. The City covenants to take such action as may be necessary to include all Base Rental Payments and Additional Rental Payments due hereunder in its annual budget and to make the necessary annual appropriations for all such Base Rental Payments and Additional Rental Payments, subject only to abatement as provided in Section 16 hereof. The City will furnish to the Authority and the Trustee annually, on or before February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 49
October 1, a certificate stating that it has complied with the covenant set forth in this paragraph.
The covenants on the part of the City herein contained shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be duties imposed by law and it shall be the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and do such things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to enable the City to carry out and perform the covenants and agreements in this Lease agreed to be carried out and performed by the City.
The obligation of the City to make Base Rental Payments or Additional Rental Payments does not constitute an obligation of the City for which the City is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation.
Neither the Bonds nor the obligation of the City to make Base Rental Payments or Additional Rental Payments constitutes an indebtedness of the City, the State or any of its political subdivisions within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction.

SECTION 5. MAINTENANCE, UTILITIES, TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS During such time as the City or any assignee or sublessee thereof is in possession of the Leased Property, all maintenance and repair, ordinary or extraordinary, of the Leased Property shall be the responsibility of the City, and the City shall pay for or otherwise arrange for the payment of (a) all utility services supplied to the Leased Property, (b) the cost of operation of the Leased Property, and (c) the costs of maintenance of and repair to the Leased Property resulting from ordinary wear and tear or want of care on the part of the City. The City shall at the City’s sole cost and expense keep and maintain the Leased Property clean and in a safe and good condition and repair. Without limiting the foregoing, the Leased Wastewater System Property may be maintained by the Selma-Kingsburg-Fowler County Sanitation District under an agreement with the City. The Authority shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate, or paint the Leased Property or any part thereof, and the parties hereto affirm that the Authority has made no representations or warranties to the City respecting the condition of the Leased Property.
The City shall comply with all statutes, ordinances, regulations, and other requirements of all governmental entities that pertain to the occupancy or use of the Leased Property. The Authority has no responsibility or obligation whatsoever to construct any improvements, modifications or alterations to the Leased Property.
The City waives the right to make repairs at the Authority’s expense under Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Section 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any other such law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 50
The parties hereto contemplate that the Leased Property will be used for public purposes by the City and, therefore, that the Leased Property will be exempt from all taxes presently assessed and levied with respect to real and personal property, respectively. If the use, possession or acquisition by the Authority or the City of the Leased Property is found to be subject to taxation in any form, the City will pay during the term hereof, as the same respectively become due, all taxes and governmental charges of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied against or with respect to the Leased Property and any other property acquired by the City in substitution for, as a renewal or replacement of, or a modification, improvement or addition to the Leased Property; provided, that with respect to any governmental charges or taxes that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the City shall be obligated to pay only such installments as are accrued during such time as this Lease is in effect.
SECTION 6. CHANGES TO THE LEASED PROPERTY
The City shall have the right during the term of this Lease to acquire and construct improvements or to attach fixtures, structures or signs to the Leased Property if such improvements, fixtures, structures or signs are necessary or beneficial for the use of the Leased Property by the City; provided, however, that no such acquisition or construction shall result in a material reduction in the value of the Leased Property, reduce the fair rental value thereof or substantially alter the nature of the Leased Property.
Upon termination of this Lease, the City may remove any fixture, structure or sign added by the City, but such removal shall be accomplished so as to leave the Leased Property, except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty, in substantially the same condition as it was in before the fixture, structure or sign was attached.
SECTION 7. TAX COVENANTS
(a) Special Definitions. When used in this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Nonpurpose Investment” means any investment property, as defined in section 148(b) of the Code, in which Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are invested and that is not acquired to carry out the governmental purposes of that Series of Bonds.

The City covenants that it shall not use, and shall not permit the use of, and shall not omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner that if made or omitted, respectively, could cause the interest on any Bond to fail to be excluded pursuant to Section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Trustee receives a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect such exclusion of the interest on any Bond from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes, the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section. (c) Private Use or Private Payments. Except as would not cause any Bond to become a “private activity bond” within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations, the City shall take all actions necessary to assure that the City at all times prior to the final cancellation of the last of the Bonds to be retired:
(1) exclusively owns, operates and possesses all property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Bonds and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds (including through any contractual arrangement with terms different than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity (including the United States or any agency, department and instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use is solely as a member of the general public; and (2) does not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment by any person or entity (other than a state or local government) who is treated as using any Gross Proceeds of the Bonds or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds.
(d) No Private Loan. Except as would not cause any Bond to become a “private activity bond” within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use or permit the use of Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be “loaned” to a person or entity if: (i) February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 52
property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction that creates a debt for federal income tax purposes; (ii) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take-or-pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (iii) indirect benefits of such Gross Proceeds, or burdens and benefits of ownership of any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds, are otherwise transferred in a transaction that is the economic equivalent of a loan. (e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except as would not cause the Bonds to become “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not (and shall not permit any person to), at any time prior to the final cancellation of the last Bond to be retired, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any Investment, if as a result of such investment the Yield of any Investment acquired with Gross Proceeds, whether then held or previously disposed of, would materially exceed the Yield of the Bonds within the meaning of said section 148.
(f) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall take or omit to take (and shall not permit any person to take or omit to take) any action that would cause any Bond to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(g) Information Report. The Authority shall timely file any information required by section 149(e) of the Code with respect to Bonds with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe. (h) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations:
(1) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) and shall retain all records of accounting for at least six years after the day on which the last Bond is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of Bonds with its other monies, provided that it separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith. (2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall calculate, the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain a copy of the calculation with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds until six years after the final Computation Date. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating Rebate Amounts or for the adequacy or correctness of any rebate report.
The Trustee may rely conclusively upon and shall be fully protected from all liability in relying upon the Authority’s, the City’s or a rebate analyst’s determinations, opinions, directions, calculations and certifications. The Trustee shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions of the Indenture and any other agreement relating to the Bonds regarding calculation and payment of rebate if it follows the directions of the February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 53
Authority, the City or a rebate analyst, and it shall have no independent duty to review or enforce the Authority’s, City’s or rebate analyst’s compliance with such rebate requirements. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to independently make any calculation or determination or to review the City’s calculations hereunder. (3) In order to assure the excludability pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of the interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the City shall pay to the United States the amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate payments made for the Bonds equals (i) in the case of the Final Computation Date as defined in section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the Tax Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, such rebate payments shall be made by the City at the times and in the amounts as are or may be required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T prepared by the City or such other forms and information as is or may be required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder for execution and filing by the City. (4) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under Section 1.148 3(h) of the Regulations. (i) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not and shall not permit any person to, at any time prior to the final cancellation of the last of the Bonds to be retired, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm’s length and had the Yields on the Bonds not been relevant to either party.
(j) Bonds Not Hedge Bonds. The City represents that none of the Bonds is or will become a “hedge bond” within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code. As of the date of issuance of the Bonds the City reasonably expects that at least 85% of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds will be expended within the three-year period commencing on such date of issuance, and (B) no more than 50% of the proceeds of the Bonds will be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of four years or more. (k) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes any City Representative to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Tax Regulations, as such Representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel) deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds, in the Tax Certificate or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 54
(l) Closing Certificate. The City agrees to execute and deliver in connection with the issuance of the Bonds a Tax Certificate, or similar document containing additional representations and covenants pertaining to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, which representations and covenants are incorporated as though expressly set forth herein.
The City shall at all times do and perform all acts and things permitted by law and this Lease which are necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest paid on the Bonds (or any of them) will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and shall take no action that would result in such interest not being so excluded. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City agrees to comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate. This covenant shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds.
SECTION 8. SUBSTITUTION, ADDITION AND RELEASE OF PROPERTY The parties to the Lease specifically acknowledge that the annual fair rental value of the Leased Property is in excess of the maximum annual Base Rental Payments. The City shall have, so long as this Lease is in effect, and is hereby granted, the option at any time and from time to time, to substitute other property (the “Substitute Property”) for any portion of the Leased Property (the “Former Property”), add to or release any identifiable property and/or improvements currently constituting all or any portion of the Leased Property (in such case, Substitute Property shall mean the Former Property less any portion released pursuant to this Section); provided, that (i) only the 2024A East Trunk Line Project or real property may be substituted for the initial Leased Wastewater System Property, (ii) no real property may be released if the initial Leased Wastewater System Property or the 2024A East Trunk Line Project remains part of the Leased Property upon such release, and (iii) the City shall satisfy all of the following requirements, which are conditions precedent to such substitution:
(a) No default under Section 11 hereof or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(b) The City shall file with the Authority and the Trustee, and cause to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder, sufficient memorialization of amendments to this Lease and the Site Lease which replaces Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 hereto and Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to the Site Lease with a description of such Substitute Property which deletes therefrom the description of the Former Property;
(c) The City shall obtain an extended California Land Title Association (“CLTA”) policy of title insurance insuring the City’s fee or leasehold estate in such Substitute Property, the City’s leasehold estate hereunder, and the Authority’s leasehold estate under the Site Lease in such Substitute Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in an amount not less than the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply to Substitute Property that consists only of Former Property less any released portion and no title insurance shall be required for the 2024A East Trunk Line Project; February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 55
(d) The City shall provide a Certificate of the City to the Authority and to the Trustee that such Substitute Property constitutes property which the City is permitted to lease under the laws of the State of California;
(e) The substitution of the Substitute Property shall not cause the City to violate any of its covenants, representations and warranties made herein; (f) The City shall file with the Authority and the Trustee a Certificate of the City or other evidence which establishes that the annual fair rental value of the Substitute Property after substitution or release will be at least equal to 100% of the maximum amount of the Base Rental Payments becoming due in the then current fiscal year or in any subsequent fiscal year and the useful economic life of the Substitute Property shall be at least equal to the maximum remaining term of this Lease; and
(g) The City shall furnish to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the Trustee, the City and the Authority to the effect that the substitution or release is permitted under this Lease.
Upon the satisfaction of all such conditions precedent, and upon the City delivering to the Authority and the Trustee a Certificate of the City certifying that the conditions set forth in subsections (a), (c) and (e) of this Section have been satisfied, the Term of this Lease shall thereupon end as to the Leased Property and shall thereupon commence as to the Substitute Property, and all references to the Leased Property shall apply with full force and effect to the Substitute Property. The City shall not be entitled to any reduction, diminution, extension or other modification of the Base Rental Payments whatsoever as a result of any substitution or removal hereunder.
SECTION 9. INSURANCE
(a) The City shall secure and maintain or cause to be secured and maintained at all times with insurers of recognized responsibility, or through a program of self-insurance to the extent specifically permitted in this Section 9, all coverage on the Leased Property on which improvements are constructed as required by this Section 9.
Such insurance shall consist of:
(1) Comprehensive general liability coverage against claims for damages including death, personal injury, bodily injury or property damage arising from operations involving the Leased Property. Such insurance shall afford protection with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with respect to bodily injury, death or property damage liability, or such greater amount as may from time to time be recommended by the City’s risk management officer or an independent Insurance Consultant retained by the City for that purpose, subject to a deductible clause of not to exceed $500,000. The City’s obligations under this clause (1) may be satisfied by selfinsurance; (2) The City shall maintain or cause to be maintained, throughout the term of this Lease, casualty insurance against loss or damage to any or all of the Leased February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 56

Such extended coverage insurance shall, as nearly as practicable, cover loss or damage by explosion, windstorm, riot, aircraft, vehicle damage, smoke and such other hazards as are normally covered by such insurance.

The City’s obligations under this clause (2) may be satisfied by self-insurance;
(3) Workers’ compensation insurance issued by a responsible carrier authorized under the laws of the State to insure employers against liability for compensation under the Labor Code of the State, or any act enacted as an amendment or supplement thereto or in lieu thereof, such workers’ compensation insurance to cover all persons employed by the City in connection with the Leased Property and to cover full liability for compensation under any such act; provided, however, that the City’s obligations under this clause (3) may be satisfied by self-insurance; and (4) Rental interruption insurance in an amount not less than the maximum remaining scheduled Base Rental Payments in any twenty-four (24) month period, by an insurance provider rated at least “A” by A.M. Best & Company, to insure against loss of use of the Leased Property caused by perils covered by the insurance required in Section 9(a)(1).

APPLICATION OF NET PROCEEDS
If prior to the termination of the term hereof (a) the Leased Property is destroyed (in whole or in part) or is damaged by fire of other casualty, or (b) title to, or the temporary use of, any portion of the Leased Property or the estate of the Authority or the City in the Leased Property or any portion shall be taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person or firm or corporation acting under governmental authority, then the City and the Authority shall, as expeditiously as possible, continuously and diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted the repair or replacement thereof, unless the City elects not to repair or replace the Leased Property or portion thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.

If there is an abatement of rental payments pursuant to Section 17 hereof as a result of such casualty or event, and the City elects pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof to apply such insurance proceeds and such other sums as are deposited by the City pursuant to such Section to the prepayment of Base Rental Payments rather than replacing or repairing the destroyed or damaged portion of the Leased Property, then this Lease shall terminate with respect to the destroyed or damaged portion of the Leased Property as of the later of the date of such election by the City or the date the amount required by Section 12(a) hereof is received by the Trustee.
The provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, including any amendments thereto and any other law which may hereinafter be in force during the term of this Lease which authorizes the termination of this Lease upon the partial or complete destruction of the Leased Property, are hereby waived by the City.
The City hereby covenants and agrees, to the extent it may lawfully do so, that so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid, the City will not exercise the power of condemnation with respect to the Leased Property.

The City shall deposit any proceeds received from insurance and condemnation awards with respect to the destruction or partial destruction of Leased Property with the Trustee for deposit into the: (a) 2024A Insurance and Condemnation Fund if the City elects to repair the Leased Property or (b) the Lease Revenue Fund if the City elects to redeem the Outstanding Bonds.
The City shall have forty-five (45) days from the date of any such destruction or partial destruction to determine whether to repair the Leased Property or use insurance and condemnation award proceeds received to redeem such bonds.

If the City determines to repair the Leased Property, disbursements by the Trustee shall only be made upon presentation of a requisition in a form substantially similar to Exhibit C of the Indenture. If the City determines to cause the redemption of less than the full amount of the Outstanding Bonds, such redemption shall only be made to the extent the remaining fair rental value of the Leased Property is sufficient to support the remaining Base Rental Payments supporting debt service on the Outstanding Bonds.
The City shall deposit any 2024A East Trunk Line Project Reimbursements and Development Impact Fees with the Trustee for deposit into the 2024A East Trunk Line Project Reimbursements and Development Impact Fees Fund for application to the redemption of Bonds in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of the Indenture.

(2) Failure by the City to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed hereunder, other than as referred to in the preceding subsection (1), for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to the City by the Authority. However, if the City notifies the Authority that in its reasonable opinion the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such thirty (30) day period, the failure will not constitute an Event of Default if the City commences to cure the failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith cures such failure in a reasonable period of time; provided, that such cure period shall not extend beyond sixty (60) days.

In the event the Leased Real Property is re-let, the City shall cooperate with the Authority to provide reasonable parking access for the Leased Real Property.
The Authority expressly waives the right to receive any amount from the City pursuant to Section 1951.2(a)(3) of the California Civil Code. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Authority may exercise each and every one of the following remedies:
(1) Proceedings at Law or In Equity.

Redemption notices may be conditional.

Any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 may be conditional and/or rescinded by written notice given to the Trustee by the Authority and the Trustee shall provide notice of such rescission as soon thereafter as practicable in the same manner, and to the same recipients, as notice of such redemption was given pursuant to this Section.

Whenever provision is made in this Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds, the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed from all Bonds not previously called for redemption, in such maturities as the Authority shall designate (and by lot within any maturity). For purposes of such selection, all Bonds shall be deemed to be comprised of separate $5,000 portions and such portions shall be treated as separate Bonds, which may be separately redeemed.
(h) Partial Redemption of Bonds. If only a portion of any Bond is called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Authority, a new Bond or Bonds, with the same interest rate and maturity date as, and in aggregate principal amount equal to, the unredeemed portion of the Bond being redeemed.

In case any officer of the Authority who shall have signed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed shall have been authenticated or delivered by the Trustee or issued by the Authority, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall be as binding upon the Authority as though the individual who signed the same had continued to be such officer of the Authority. Also, any Bond may be signed on behalf of the Authority by any individual who on the actual date of the execution of such Bond shall be the proper officer although on the nominal date of such Bond such individual shall not have been such officer. Only such of the Bonds as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication, manually executed on behalf of the Trustee, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such certificate of the Trustee shall be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.06. Transfer of Bonds. Any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred, upon the Registration Books, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney, upon presentation and surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Trustee, duly executed. Whenever any Bond shall be surrendered for transfer, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of like tenor, interest rate, maturity and aggregate principal amount in Authorized Denominations. The Bonds may be transferred only in whole and not in part. The cost of printing any Bonds and any services rendered or fees or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any such transfer shall be paid by the Authority, except that the Trustee shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer, pursuant to this Section, (a) any Bond during the period established by the Trustee for the selection of Bonds for redemption or (b) any Bond selected for redemption pursuant to Section 2.03(g).

The Trustee may rely on the information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 114
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Bonds may not be registered in the name of, or transferred to, any person except an Approved Buyer who has executed and delivered a Purchaser Letter of Representations in the form set forth in Exhibit E hereto to the Trustee and the Authority; provided, however, that Bonds registered in the name of the Depository or the Nominee shall be deemed to comply with this Section 2.06 so long as each beneficial owner of the Bonds is an Approved Buyer. Any transfer in violation of this paragraph shall be null and void.
SECTION 2.07. Exchange of Bonds. Bonds may be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee for the same aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same tenor, interest rate, and maturity and of other Authorized Denominations.

The Trustee shall not be required to exchange, pursuant to this Section, (a) any Bond during the period established by the Trustee for the selection of Bonds for redemption or (b) any Bond selected for redemption pursuant to Section 2.03(g).
SECTION 2.08. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds may be issued initially in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the Authority and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Authority and be registered and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Authority issues temporary Bonds, it will execute and furnish definitive Bonds without delay, and thereupon the temporary Bonds shall be surrendered, for cancellation, in exchange therefor at the Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds definitive Bonds of like tenor, maturity and aggregate principal amount in Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.09. Registration Books. The Trustee will keep or cause to be kept at its Trust Office sufficient records for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which shall at all times during regular business hours be open to inspection by the Authority with reasonable prior notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer, or cause to be registered or transferred, on said records, Bonds as herein provided.
SECTION 2.10. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Authority, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor, maturity and aggregate principal amount in an Authorized Denomination in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by it. If any Bond issued hereunder shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee and, if such evidence shall be satisfactory to it and indemnity satisfactory to it shall be given, the Authority and Trustee, at the expense of the Bond Owner, shall execute, and the Trustee shall February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 115
thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have matured or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee). The Authority may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under this Section and of the expenses that may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any Bond issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Authority whether or not the Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all other Bonds secured by this Indenture.
SECTION 2.11. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation. The Bonds shall be initially executed, authenticated and delivered in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond (which may be typewritten) for each of the maturities of the Bonds. Upon initial execution, authentication and delivery, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Original Purchaser and shall thereafter be assigned to and registered in the name of such other Approved Buyer or in the name of the Nominee as nominee of the Depository, if applicable. Except as provided in Section 2.13 hereof, all of the Outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the Registration Books kept by the Trustee in the name of the Nominee and the Bonds may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of and Approved Buyer or of the Depository or of a successor Depository, if a depository is desired by such subsequent Approved Buyer and acceptable to the Trustee.

Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Authority and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any Depository Participant with respect to any beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds, (b) the delivery to any Depository Participant, beneficial owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any redemption notice, (c) the selection by the Depository and the Depository Participants of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in part, or (d) the payment to any Depository Participant, beneficial owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to principal of, interest on, or premium, if any, of the Bonds. The Authority and the Trustee may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Registration Books as the holder and absolute Owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bond, for the purpose of giving Redemption Notices with respect to the Bonds and other notices with respect to the Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, registering transfers with respect to the Bonds.
The Trustee shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Bond Owners, as shown in the Registration Books kept by the Trustee, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid hereunder with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a Bond Owner, as shown in the February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 116
Registration Books, shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation to make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Bond pursuant to this Indenture. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee and the Authority of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, the word Nominee in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.
SECTION 2.12. Representation Letter. To qualify the Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system, the Authority has previously authorized, executed, countersigned and delivered to such Depository a letter from the Authority representing such matters as shall be necessary to so qualify the Bonds (the “Representation Letter”). The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of Section 2.11 hereof or in any other way impose upon the Authority or the City any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds other than the Owners, as shown in the Registration Books kept by the Trustee. In the written acceptance by the Trustee of the Representation Letter, the Trustee shall agree, and hereby agrees, to take all actions necessary for all representations of the Trustee in the Representation Letter with respect to the Trustee to at all times be complied with.
In addition to the execution and delivery of the Representation Letter, the Authority representative and all other officers of the Authority, and their respective deputies and designees, each is hereby authorized to take any other actions, not inconsistent with this Indenture, to qualify the Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program.
SECTION 2.13. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. If at any time the Depository is being used in connection with the Bonds and the Depository notifies the Authority that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository with respect to the Bonds or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Authority within 90 days after the Authority receives notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, Section 2.11 hereof shall no longer be applicable and the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Bonds as provided below.
In addition, the Authority may determine at any time that the Bonds shall no longer be represented by global bonds and that the provisions of Section 2.11 hereof shall no longer apply to the Bonds.
In any such event the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Bonds as provided below. Bonds executed, authenticated and delivered in exchange for global bonds pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be registered in such names and delivered in such Authorized Denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from the Depository Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Authority and the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Bonds to the persons in whose names such Bonds are so registered.
If the Authority determines to replace the Depository with another qualified securities depository, the Authority shall prepare or cause to be prepared a new fully-registered global bond for each of the maturities of the Bonds, registered in the name of such successor or substitute securities depository or its nominee, or make such other arrangements as are acceptable to the Authority, the Trustee and such securities depository and not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture.

In connection with any proposed transfer outside the Book-Entry system, the Authority, the City or DTC shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045, as amended.

On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Lease Revenue Fund and deposit into the following respective accounts (each of which the Trustee shall establish and maintain within the Lease Revenue Fund), the following amounts in the following order of priority, the requirements of each such account (including the making up of any deficiencies in any such account resulting from lack of Revenues sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of deposit to be satisfied before any transfer is made to any account subsequent in priority:
(a) 2024A Interest Account. The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate account to be known as the “2024A Interest Account.” On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall deposit in the 2024A Interest Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the 2024A interest Account to equal the interest on the Bonds coming due on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 or pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be. All moneys in the 2024A Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds redeemed prior to maturity).
(b) 2024A Principal Account. The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate account to be known as the “2024A Principal Account.” On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall deposit in the 2024A Principal Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the 2024A Principal Account to equal the principal amount of the Bonds maturing on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 or pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be. All moneys in the 2024A Principal Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the principal of the Bonds. (c) 2024A Reserve Fund. If the amount on deposit in the 2024A Reserve Fund at any time falls below the 2024A Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall promptly notify the City and the Authority of such fact and the Trustee shall promptly (i) withdraw the amount of such insufficiency from available Revenues on deposit in the 2024A Lease Revenue Fund, and (ii) transfer such amount to the 2024A Reserve Fund.
(d) Surplus. On or before February 1 and August 1 of each year the Trustee shall determine the Revenues, if any, remaining in the Lease Revenue Fund after making the deposits required by paragraphs (a) through (c) above, and shall apply such amount as a credit against the next following Base Rental Payment; provided that, until the 2024A Project Fund is closed in accordance with Section 3.05, earnings on amounts in 2024A Interest Account and the 2024A Reserve Fund shall be retained in the respective account or fund until transferred to the 2024A Project Fund as provided in Section 4.04.

SECTION 4.03. Reserved.
SECTION 4.04. Investments. All moneys in the 2024A East Trunk Line Project Reimbursements and Development Impact Fees Fund shall be invested by the Trustee solely in Permitted Investments described in clause (n) of the definition thereof, and all moneys in any of the other the funds or accounts established with the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall be invested by the Trustee solely in Permitted Investments, in each case pursuant to the written direction (including facsimile transmission) of the Authority (such written direction to specify the particular investment in Permitted Investments to be made) given to the Trustee two Business Days in advance of the making of such investments. In the absence of any such direction from the Authority, the Trustee shall hold uninvested any moneys in the 2024A East Trunk Line Project Reimbursements and Development Impact Fees Fund and invest any other such moneys in money market funds described in subsection (g) of the definition of Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall be made by the Trustee only if, prior to the date on which such investment is to be made, the Trustee shall have received a written direction of the Authority specifying a specific money market fund that satisfies the requirements of the subsection in which such investment is to be made and, if no such written direction is so received, the Trustee shall hold such moneys uninvested as cash. Obligations purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund or account shall be deemed to be part of such fund or account.
The Trustee shall transfer all investment earnings on amounts in 2024A Interest Account and the 2024A Reserve Fund to the 2024A Project Fund on each February 2 until the 2024A Project Fund is closed in accordance with Section 3.05 and thereafter all such investment earnings shall be transferred to the Lease Revenue Fund. All investment earnings on amounts in the 2024A Insurance and Condemnation Fund and the 2024A Principal Account shall be retained therein and applied in accordance herewith.
For purposes of acquiring any investments hereunder, the Trustee may commingle funds held by it hereunder. The Trustee, or any of its affiliates, may act as principal or agent in the acquisition of any investment and may impose its customary charges therefor, notwithstanding that (a) the Trustee charges and collects fees and expenses from such funds for services rendered, (b) the Trustee charges and collects fees and expenses for services rendered pursuant to this Indenture and (c) services performed for such funds and pursuant to this Indenture may converge at any time. The Trustee may act as manager, sponsor, advisor or depository with respect to any Permitted Investment. The Trustee shall incur no liability for the selection (other than as provided herein) of investments or for any losses, fees, taxes or other charges arising from any investments, reinvestments or liquidations made pursuant to this Section. In the event of a loss on the sale of such investments (after giving effect to any interest or other income thereon except to the extent theretofore paid to the Authority), the Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect of such loss except that the Trustee shall notify the Authority of the amount of such loss and the City shall promptly pay such amount to the Trustee to be credited as part of the moneys originally invested.
The Authority acknowledges that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency grant the Authority the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions to be effected by the Trustee hereunder as they occur, at no additional cost. The Authority specifically waives the right to receive such confirmation to the extent permitted by applicable law and agrees that it will instead receive periodic cash transaction statements which shall include detail for the investment February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 123
transactions effected by the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that the Authority retains its right to receive brokerage confirmation on any investment transaction requested by the Authority.
SECTION 4.05. Valuation and Disposition of Investments. For the purpose of determining the amount in any fund or account, Permitted Investments credited to such fund or account shall be valued at least semiannually on or before each Interest Payment Date at cost (excluding any brokerage commissions and excluding any accrued interest) by the Authority.

The Authority agrees that it will maintain a Trustee which has (or which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a corporation which has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and which is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, so long as any Bonds are Outstanding. If such bank or trust company or such parent corporation publishes a report of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purpose of this Section 6.01 the combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company or such parent corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay the principal of and interest and redemption premium (if any) on the Bonds when duly presented for payment at maturity, or on redemption February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 125

SECTION 6.02. Acceptance of Trusts. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions:
(a) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(b) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Certificate of the Authority or Certificate of the City. (c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Owners pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Owners shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(d) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document. (e) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no covenants or obligations of or against the Trustee shall be implied in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default hereunder or under the Lease has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee may exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and by the Lease, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in the exercise of such rights and powers as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. (f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder and perform the duties required of it hereunder either directly or by or through attorneys, receivers or agents, shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of such attorneys, receivers or agents appointed with due care, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and its duties hereunder. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and conclusively rely on an opinion of counsel as full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder.
(g) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, in the Lease, or in the Bonds, or for any of the supplements thereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the validity or sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or intended to be secured hereby and makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Bonds, this Indenture or the Lease.
The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the observance or performance of any February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 126
covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Authority hereunder or on the part of the Authority or the City under the Lease. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use or application of the proceeds of the Bonds paid over by it to the Authority. (h) The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the Owner or pledgee of Bonds secured hereby and otherwise deal with the Authority and the City with the same rights it would have if not the Trustee; may acquire and dispose of other bonds or evidences of indebtedness of the Authority with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee; and may act as a depositary for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of Owners of Bonds, whether or not such committee shall represent the Owners of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding.
(i) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, in good faith and without negligence, upon any notice, resolution, opinion, report, direction, request, requisition, consent, certificate, statement, instrument, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. Any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Trustee in good faith and without negligence pursuant to this Indenture or the Lease upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the Owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as an Owner of any Bond or to take any action at his request unless the ownership of such Bond by such person shall be reflected on the Registration Books. (j) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture or in the Lease shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful default. The rights, privileges, protections, benefits, immunities and exceptions from liability of the Trustee including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, shall extend to and be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and by its officers, directors, employees and agents.
(k) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder or under the Lease except failure by the Authority or the City to make any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by the Authority pursuant hereto or thereto or failure by the Authority or the City to file with the Trustee any document required by this Indenture or the Lease to be so filed subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds by a certain date, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default by the Authority or by the Owners of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding so that the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Event of Default and all notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, to be effective, be delivered at the Trust Office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default hereunder except as aforesaid. (l) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, accountants and representatives, shall have the right but shall not be required to February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 127
inspect all books, papers and records of the Authority pertaining to the Bonds, and to make copies of any of such books, papers and records which are not privileged by statute or by law. In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform, on their face, to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). (m) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises hereof. Before taking any action hereunder at the request or direction of the beneficial owners or Owners, the Trustee may require that security or indemnity satisfactory to it be furnished to it for the reimbursement of its fees, costs, liabilities and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) which it may incur and to protect it against all liability. (n) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture with respect to the execution of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, as may be deemed desirable for the purpose of establishing the right of the Authority to the execution of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash or the taking of any other action by the Trustee.
(o) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the City. (p) Whether or not expressly provided therein, every provision of this Indenture, the Site Lease, the Assignment Agreement, and the Lease relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. (q) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any information, statement, or recital in any official statement, offering memorandum or any other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the Bonds. (r) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, pandemics, epidemics, recognized public emergencies, quarantine restrictions, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, and hacking, cyber-attacks, or other use or infiltration of the Trustee’s technological infrastructure exceeding authorized access.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 128
(s) The Trustee is authorized and directed to enter into the Assignment Agreement in its capacity as Trustee.
(t) The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means (“Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder); provided, however, that the Authority and City shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Authority and City whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Authority or City elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Authority and City understand and agree that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Authority and City shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Authority and City and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Authority and City. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Authority and City agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Authority and City; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
(u) In acting or omitting to act pursuant to the Site Lease, the Lease, the Assignment Agreement or any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith, the Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections, benefits, powers, immunities and indemnities accorded to it under this Indenture and the Lease, including, but not limited to, this Article VI.
SECTION 6.03. Fees, Charges and Expenses of Trustee. The Trustee shall be paid and reimbursed by the Authority for the compensation agreed to in writing from time to time for its services rendered hereunder and for all expenses, disbursements and advances (with interest on such expenses, disbursements and advances at the maximum rate allowed by law), counsel fees (including expenses) and other fees and expenses reasonably made or incurred by the Trustee in February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 129
connection with such services. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, but only upon an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have a first lien with right of payment prior to payment of any Bond upon the amounts held hereunder for the foregoing fees, charges and expenses incurred by it. When the Trustee incurs fees and expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default, such fees and expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, moratorium, reorganization or other debtor relief law.
SECTION 6.04. Notice to Bond Owners of Default. If an Event of Default hereunder or under the Lease occurs with respect to any Bonds of which the Trustee has been given or is deemed to have notice, as provided in Section 6.02(k) hereof, then the Trustee shall, within 30 days of the receipt of such notice, give written notice thereof by first class mail to the Owner of each such Bond, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice; provided, however, that unless such Event of Default consists of the failure by the Authority to make any payment when due, the Trustee may elect not to give such notice and be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that it is in the best interests of the Bond Owners not to give such notice.
SECTION 6.05. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Authority or the City is a party that, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, has a substantial bearing on the interests of Owners of any of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of such Bond Owners, and subject to Section 6.02(c), shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such Bonds then Outstanding and indemnified to its satisfaction.
SECTION 6.06. Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may be removed at any time by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, filed with the Trustee and signed by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds. The Authority may also remove the Trustee at any time upon 30 days’ notice, except during the existence of an Event of Default. The Trustee may be removed at any time for any breach of the Trustee’s duties set forth herein.
SECTION 6.07. Resignation by Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time give written notice of its intention to resign as Trustee hereunder, such notice to be given to the Authority and the City by registered or certified mail. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. Upon such acceptance, the Authority shall cause notice thereof to be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Bond Owners at their respective addresses set forth on the Registration Books.
SECTION 6.08. Appointment of Successor Trustee. In the event of the removal or resignation of the Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.06 or 6.07, respectively, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. In the event the Authority shall for any reason whatsoever fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 60 days following the delivery to the Trustee of the instrument described in Section 6.06 or within 60 days following the receipt of notice by the Authority pursuant to Section 6.07, the Trustee may, at the expense of the Authority, apply to a February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 130
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 6.01. Any such successor Trustee appointed by such court shall become the successor Trustee hereunder notwithstanding any action by the Authority purporting to appoint a successor Trustee following the expiration of such 60-day period.
SECTION 6.09. Merger or Consolidation. Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any entity to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, provided that such entity shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 6.01, shall be the successor to the Trustee and vested with all of the title to the trust estate and all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 6.10. Concerning any Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Authority an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessors; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the Request of the Authority, or of the Trustee’s successor, and upon payment in full of such predecessor’s fees and expenses then due and owing hereunder, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as the Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority.
SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee. It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in the case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement of the rights of the Trustee on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action that may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee or the Authority appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee or co-trustee. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a trustee under Section 6.01. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends. If the Trustee or the Authority appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate trustee or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate trustee or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 131
covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate trustee or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by the separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority. No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become incapable of acting, shall resign or shall be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or cotrustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee.
SECTION 6.12. Indemnification; Limited Liability of Trustee. The Authority further covenants and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees, harmless against any loss, expense, action, suit, claim, judgment, damage, tax and liability arising out of or in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder and under the Assignment Agreement, the Site Lease and the Lease, including the costs and expenses of enforcing the provisions of this Indenture (including this Section), the Assignment Agreement, the Site Lease and the Lease against the City and Authority and of defending against any claim of liability (whether asserted by the Authority, the City, the Owners or any other person) and fees and expenses of its attorneys, but excluding any and all losses, expenses and liabilities that are due to the negligent or willful misconduct of the Trustee, its officers, directors or employees.

ARTICLE VII
MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE
SECTION 7.01. Amendment. This Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and the Owners may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture, which shall become binding to the extent permitted by law upon adoption, without consent of any Owner, but only for any one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority in this Indenture contained, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any rights or February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 132
powers herein reserved to or conferred upon the Authority so long as such limitation or surrender of such rights or powers shall not materially adversely affect the Owners; (b) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Indenture, or in any other respect whatsoever as the Authority may deem necessary or desirable; or (c) for any other purpose that does not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners, as evidenced by the opinion of counsel delivered under Section 7.02 hereof.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section, this Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the Owners may only be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture, which shall become binding when the written consent of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the affected Bonds then Outstanding are filed with the Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall (a) extend the maturity of or reduce the interest rate on any Bond or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the Authority to pay the principal, interest or redemption premiums (if any) at the time and place and at the rate and in the currency provided therein of any Bond without the express written consent of the Owner, (b) reduce the percentage of Bonds required for the written consent to any such amendment or modification, or (c) modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee without its written consent thereto.
SECTION 7.02. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. From and after the time any Supplemental Indenture becomes effective pursuant to this Article VII, this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, the respective rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereto or thereto and all Owners of Outstanding Bonds, as the case may be, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Prior to entering into any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Section, the Authority shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such Supplemental Indenture has been adopted in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture and that such Supplemental Indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Authority, enforceable against the Authority in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 7.03. Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds After Amendment. After the effective date of any action taken as hereinabove provided, the Authority may determine that the Bonds shall bear a notation, by endorsement in form approved by the Authority, as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner at such effective date and presentation of such Bond for that purpose at the Trust Office of the Trustee, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bond. If the Authority shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the Authority, shall be necessary to conform to such Owners’ action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner at such effective date such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee, without cost to each Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds.

(d) The filing by the Authority of a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition, filed with or without the consent of the Authority, seeking reorganization under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America, or if, under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the Authority or of the whole or any substantial part of its property.

February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 134
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if requested so to do by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds and indemnified as provided in Section 6.02(c), the Trustee shall be obligated to exercise such one or more of the rights and powers conferred by this Article VIII, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most expedient in the interests of the Owners.
No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the Owners) is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given to the Trustee or the Owners hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver or any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; such right or power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient.
The Trustee shall have no right to declare the principal of or interest on the Bonds to be due and payable immediately.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Owner any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Owner thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Owner in any such proceeding without the approval of the Owners so affected.
SECTION 8.03. Application of Revenues and Other Funds After Default. All amounts received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken by the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture shall be applied by the Trustee in the following order of priority:
First, to the payment of the fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee, including compensation to its agents, attorneys and counsel;
Second, to the payment of the whole amount of interest on and principal of the Bonds then due and unpaid, provided, however, that if such amounts shall be insufficient to pay in full the full amount of such interest and principal, then such amounts shall be applied to the payment of such principal and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and interest and amounts, if any, due and owing.
SECTION 8.04. Power of Trustee to Control Proceedings. If the Trustee, upon the happening of an Event of Default, shall have taken any action, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, pursuant to its duties hereunder, whether upon its own discretion or upon the request of the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, it shall have full power, in the exercise of its discretion for the best interests of the Owners of the Bonds, with respect to the continuance, discontinuance, withdrawal, compromise, settlement or other disposal of such action; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not, unless there no longer continues an Event of Default, discontinue, withdraw, compromise or settle, or otherwise dispose February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 135
of any litigation pending at law or in equity, if at the time there has been filed with it a written request signed by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds opposing such discontinuance, withdrawal, compromise, settlement or other disposal of such litigation and if the Trustee is indemnified as provided in Section 6.02(c). Any suit, action or proceeding which any Owner shall have the right to bring to enforce any right or remedy hereunder may be brought by the Trustee for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners similarly situated and the Trustee is hereby appointed (and the successive respective Owners issued hereunder by taking and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed so to have appointed it) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective Owners for the purpose of bringing any such suit, action or proceeding and to do and perform any and all acts and things for and on behalf of the respective Owners as a class or classes, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Trustee as such attorney-in-fact. In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Owners of the Bonds, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may, and shall be fully indemnified for refraining from acting in the absence of written direction, determine what action, if any shall be taken and the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, take other actions.
SECTION 8.05. Appointment of Receivers. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Owners under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Revenues and other amounts pledged hereunder, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
SECTION 8.06. Non-Waiver. A waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Trustee or any Owners shall not affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract, or impair any rights or remedies on any such subsequent default or breach. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Owner to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy conferred upon the Trustee or Owners by the Bond Law or by this Article VIII may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or the Owners, as the case may be.
SECTION 8.07. Rights of Owners.

Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of any remedy hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners shall have any right in any manner whatever February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 136
by his or their action to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any provision of this Indenture shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Owners.

SECTION 8.08. Termination of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case, the Authority, the Trustee and the Owners shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, with regard to the property subject to this Indenture, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.

February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 137
(a) Not to Cause Interest to Become Taxable. The Authority covenants that it shall not use, and shall not permit the use of, and shall not omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner that if made or omitted, respectively, could cause the interest on any Bond to fail to be excluded pursuant to Section 103(a) of the Code from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Trustee receives a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect such exclusion of the interest on any Bond from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes, the Authority shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section. (b) Private Use and Private Payments. Except as would not cause any Bond to become a “private activity bond” within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations, the Authority shall take all actions necessary to assure that the Authority at all times prior to the final cancellation of the last of the Bonds to be retired:
(1) exclusively owns, operates and possesses all property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Bonds and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds (including through any contractual arrangement with terms different than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity (including the United States or any agency, department and instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use is solely as a member of the general public; and (2) does not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment by any person or entity (other than a state or local government) who is treated as using any Gross Proceeds of the Bonds or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds.
(c) No Private Loan. Except as would not cause any Bond to become a “private activity bond” within the meaning of section 141 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Authority shall not use or permit the use of Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be “loaned” to a person or entity if: (i) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction that creates a debt for federal income tax purposes; (ii) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take-or-pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (iii) indirect benefits of such Gross Proceeds, or burdens and benefits of ownership of any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds, are otherwise transferred in a transaction that is the economic equivalent of a loan. (d) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except as would not cause the Bonds to become “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Authority shall not (and shall not permit any person to), at any time prior to the final cancellation of the last Bond to be retired, directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 138
in any Investment, if as a result of such investment the Yield of any Investment acquired with Gross Proceeds, whether then held or previously disposed of, would materially exceed the Yield of the Bonds within the meaning of said section 148.
(e) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Authority shall take or omit to take (and shall not permit any person to take or omit to take) any action that would cause any Bond to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(f) Information Report. The Authority shall timely file any information required by section 149(e) of the Code with respect to Bonds with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038- G or such other form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe. (g) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations:
(1) The Authority shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) and shall retain all records of accounting for at least six years after the day on which the last Bond is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the Authority may commingle Gross Proceeds of Bonds with its other monies, provided that it separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith. (2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the Authority shall calculate, the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder. The Authority shall maintain a copy of the calculation with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds until six years after the final Computation Date. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating Rebate Amounts or for the adequacy or correctness of any rebate report. The Trustee may rely conclusively upon and shall be fully protected from all liability in relying upon the Authority’s, the City’s or a rebate analyst’s determinations, opinions, directions, calculations and certifications. The Trustee shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions of this Indenture and any other agreement relating to the Bonds regarding calculation and payment of rebate if it follows the directions of the Authority, the City or a rebate analyst, and it shall have no independent duty to review or enforce the Authority’s, City’s or rebate analyst’s compliance with such rebate requirements. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to independently make any calculation or determination or to review the Authority’s calculations hereunder.
(3) To assure the excludability pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of the interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the Authority shall pay to the United States the amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate payments made for the Bonds equals (i) in the case of the Final Computation Date as defined in section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the Tax Regulations, one February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 139
hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, such rebate payments shall be made by the Authority at the times and in the amounts as are or may be required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T prepared by the Authority or such other forms and information as is or may be required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder for execution and filing by the Authority.
(4) The Authority shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under Section 1.148 3(h) of the Regulations.
(h) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of the Code and the Tax Regulations and rulings thereunder, the Authority shall not and shall not permit any person to, at any time prior to the final cancellation of the last of the Bonds to be retired, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm’s length and had the Yields on the Bonds not been relevant to either party.
(i) Bonds Not Hedge Bonds.
(1) The Authority represents that none of the Bonds is or will become a “hedge bond” within the meaning of section 149(g) of the Code. (2) As of the date of issuance of the Bonds the Authority reasonably expects that at least 85% of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds will be expended within the three-year period commencing on such date of issuance, and (B) no more than 50% of the proceeds of the Bonds will be invested in Nonpurpose Investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of four years or more. (j) Elections. The Authority hereby directs and authorizes any Authority representative to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Tax Regulations, as such representative (after consultation with Bond Counsel) deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds, in the Tax Certificate or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.
(k) Closing Certificate. The Authority agrees to execute and deliver in connection with the issuance of the Bonds a Tax Certificate, or similar document containing additional representations and covenants pertaining to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, which representations and covenants are incorporated as though expressly set forth herein.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 140
The Authority shall at all times do and perform all acts and things permitted by law and this Indenture which are necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest paid on the Bonds (or any of them) will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and shall take no action that would result in such interest not being so excluded. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Authority agrees to comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate. This covenant shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds.

The general fund of the Authority is not liable, and the credit of the Authority is not pledged, for the payment of the interest and premiums (if any) on or principal of the Bonds. The Owners shall never have the right to compel the forfeiture of any property of the Authority except the Revenues and other funds pledged to the payment of the Bonds as provided in this Indenture. The principal of and interest on the Bonds, and any premiums upon the redemption of any thereof, shall not be a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the Authority or upon any of its income, receipts or revenues except the Revenues and other funds pledged to the payment thereof as provided in this Indenture.
SECTION 10.02. Benefits of Indenture Limited to Parties.

(c) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee or an escrow agent, in trust pursuant to an escrow deposit agreement, Defeasance Securities in such amount as an Independent Certified Public Accountant shall determine in a written report acceptable in form and substance to the Authority, and addressed, to the Authority and the Trustee, filed with the Trustee (upon which report the Trustee may conclusively rely) that will, together with the interest to accrue thereon and available moneys then on deposit in the funds and accounts established with the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, be fully sufficient to pay and discharge the indebtedness on such Bonds (including all principal, interest and redemption premiums) at or before their respective maturity dates; and
(d) delivering an opinion of Bond Counsel acceptable in form and substance to the Authority, and addressed, to the Authority and the Trustee to the effect that the Bonds are no longer Outstanding under the Indenture, and if such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof notice of such redemption shall have been mailed pursuant to Section 2.03(f) or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the mailing of such notice, then, at the Request of the Authority, and notwithstanding that any of such Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, the pledge of the Revenues and other funds provided for in this Indenture with respect to such Bonds, and all other pecuniary obligations of the Authority under this Indenture with respect to all such Bonds, shall cease and terminate, except only the obligation of the Authority to pay or cause to be paid to the Owners not so surrendered and paid all sums due thereon from amounts set aside for such purpose as aforesaid, and all amounts due the Trustee. Any funds held by the Trustee following any payment or discharge of the Outstanding Bonds pursuant to this Section, which are not required for said purposes, shall after payment of amounts due the Trustee hereunder be paid over to the Authority. The Authority shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Defeasance Securities deposited pursuant to this Section or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Owners of Outstanding Bonds.
SECTION 10.04. Successor is Deemed Included in All References to Predecessor.
Whenever in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture the Authority is named or referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the powers, duties and functions, with respect to the management, administration and control of the affairs of the Authority, that are presently vested in the Authority, and all the covenants, agreements and provisions contained in this Indenture by or on behalf of the Authority shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors whether so expressed or not.

Any such certificate or opinion or representation made or given by counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, on information with respect to which is in the possession of the Authority or City, or upon the certificate or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Authority or the City, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, opinion or representation may be based, as aforesaid, are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known that the same were erroneous.
SECTION 10.06. Execution of Documents by Owners.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights thereunder of the owners of the Bonds, of the nature and extent of the Revenues (as that term is defined in the Indenture), of the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and of the rights and obligations of the Authority thereunder; and all of the terms of the Indenture are hereby incorporated herein and constitute a contract between the Authority and the Registered Owner hereof, and to all of the provisions of which Indenture the Registered Owner hereof, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
The Bonds are authorized to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, constituting Article 4, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California (the “Act”). The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority and, as and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, are payable solely from and secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Revenues as provided in the Indenture. All of the Bonds are equally secured by a pledge of, and charge and lien upon, all of the Revenues, and the Revenues constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The full faith and credit of the Authority are not pledged for the payment of the principal of or interest or premium (if any) on the Bonds. The Bonds are not secured by a legal or equitable pledge of, or charge, lien or encumbrance upon, any of the property of the Authority or any of its income or receipts, except the Revenues and such other moneys and securities as provided in the Indenture.
The Bonds have been issued for the purpose of financing certain capital facilities for the City. The Authority and the City have entered into a Lease Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2024 (the “Lease”), under which the City is obligated to pay amounts which are anticipated to be sufficient to enable the Authority to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.

The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their maturity as provided in the Indenture.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their respective maturity dates, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, as a whole or in part on any date, from prepayments of Base Rental Payments made by the City pursuant to the Lease from funds received by the City due to a taking of the Leased Property or any portion thereof under the power of eminent domain or from insurance proceeds received by the City due to damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, under the circumstances and upon the conditions and terms prescribed in the Indenture and in the Lease.

Subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges, if any, provided in the Indenture, this Bond may be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount, interest rate and maturity of fully registered Bonds of other authorized denominations.
This Bond is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof, in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, at the Trust Office of the Trustee, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Bond or Bonds, of Authorized Denomination or Denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. The Authority and the Trustee may treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, and the Authority and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Trustee shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Bond during the period in which the Trustee is selecting Bonds for redemption or any Bond selected for redemption.
The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee may be modified or amended from time to time and at any time in the manner, to the extent, and upon the terms provided in the Indenture; provided, that no such modification or amendment shall (a) extend the maturity of or reduce the interest rate on any Bond or otherwise alter or impair the obligation of the Authority to pay the principal, interest or premiums at the time and place and at the rate and in the currency provided therein of any Bond without the express written consent of the owner of such Bond, (b) reduce the percentage of Bonds required for the written consent to any such amendment or modification, or (c) without its written consent thereto, modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee, all as more fully set forth in the Indenture.
It is hereby certified that all things, conditions and acts required to exist, to have happened and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as required by the Constitution and statutes of the State of California and by the Act (as such term is defined on the reverse side hereof) and the amount of this Bond, together with all other indebtedness of the Authority, does not exceed any limit prescribed by the Constitution or statutes of the State of California or by the Act.

The above-quoted interest rate is based upon the assumptions set forth above regarding average life and final maturity. Any changes from the assumptions may require an adjustment to the quoted rate. The rate may also be subject to change if the contemplated Loan is not closed by April 4, 2024. COPF shall lock the rate when the Borrower provides a final debt service schedule and firm closing date.
Documentation
Loan documentation shall be prepared by qualified bond counsel subject to review by COPF and its counsel. Borrower shall provide, at its expense, an opinion of legal counsel (acceptable to COPF) attesting to the legal, valid, and binding nature of the transaction and the tax-exempt nature of the interest component of the Loan payments. Upon selection of COPF, the Borrower shall provide COPF the draft authorizing document for its review and comment.
Costs of Issuance
The Borrower shall be responsible for normal borrower costs of issuance including a financial advisor, placement agent, CDIAC fees and bond counsel. No fees will be due to COPF, which shall be responsible for the costs of its own legal review.
Phase 2
Assuming that this financing and the resulting project are successful, subsequent adequate and acceptable collateral are pledged and the Borrower’s overall financial condition remains acceptable, COPF is also interested in financing Phase 2, potentially up to an additional $8 million for a maximum exposure of $16 million.
Audited Financial Statements
Upon request, as soon as available, the Borrower shall send COPF a copy of its audited financial statements as of the end of the fiscal year.

transaction that has legal fiduciary duties to it, Borrower is free to engage a municipal advisor to serve in that capacity.

Subject to Final Credit and Documentation Approval
This is not a commitment; rather, the funding of the Loan will occur only after, among other things, (i) COPF’s final internal committee approval, and (ii) COPF and the Borrower, and their respective counsels, are fully satisfied with the terms of the Loan documents and all of the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Loan documents have been met. Any obligation of COPF to provide financing or otherwise shall arise only upon the execution of final Loan documents signed by authorized signatories of COPF and not from statements (oral or written) made during the course of discussions among the parties (whether or not prior to or after the date hereof).
Should the above-stated terms be acceptable to you, a formal decision through COPF’s internal credit process will be pursued as quickly as possible.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer this term sheet. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (505) 400-0860 or [email protected].

CITY MANAGER’S/STAFF’S REPORT
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 5, 2024
__________________________________________________________________________ ITEM NO:
SUBJECT:
2. Consideration of a Resolution awarding contract to HPS Mechanical, Inc. for the Clarkson Lift Station Improvement Project
______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND: During a Special Council Meeting held on February 9, 2022, Council directed staff to allocate American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) Funds for the improvements to the Clarkson Lift Station. The Clarkson Lift Station is located approximately 3.5 miles south of the city limits on McCall Avenue. The existing Lift Station currently sends sanitary sewer from a gravity main to the Selma – Kingsburg – Fowler Sanitation District (“SKF”) facility east of McCall Avenue and north of Clarkson Avenue. The Clarkson Lift Station Improvement Project (“Project”) includes the expansion of the existing Clarkson Lift Station site to include upgrading the existing pumps, a new wet well with additional pumps, site improvements, electrical enclosure, effluent vault, and discharge piping.
On November 2, 2023 the City held a public bid opening for the Project. On December 4, 2023, the Council rejected all bids for the Project through Resolution 2023-109R. On January 18, 2023, the City held a public bid opening for the re-bid of the Project. The Engineer’s Estimate for the Project was $2,500,000.00. The City received and opened bids from five contractors. The amounts of the bids were as follows:
Contractor Total Bid
Yanez Construction $2,187,286.00
Sierra Construction and Excavation, Inc. $2,431,380.00
HPS Mechanical, Inc. $2,631,300.00
SW Construction, Inc. $2,673,062.00
Dawson-Mauldin, LLC $3,244,900.00
Engineer’s Estimate $2,500,000.00
The proposal from Yanez Construction was determined to be non-responsive due to the lack of an acceptable Proposal Guarantee. Section 1.4 of the General Provisions of the Project Specifications requires a proposal guarantee in the form of a cashier’s check, certified check, or bidder’s bond.
Sierra Construction and Excavation, Inc. (“Sierra”) submitted a bid for the public bid opening on November 2, 2023. Following the bid opening, Staff received written notice that the bid provided by Sierra included a clerical error and requested that their bid be removed from consideration. According to the California Public Contract Code section 5105, a bidder who claims a mistake or who forfeits his or her bid security shall be prohibited from participating in further bidding on the project on which the mistake was claimed or security forfeited. Since Sierra claimed a mistake on the November 2, 2023 bid proposal, they are disqualified from consideration of the bid submitted on January 18, 2024.
February 5, 2024 Council Packet Page 170
DISCUSSION: Staff has reviewed the bid from HPS Mechanical, Inc. for completeness and determined that it is the lowest responsive and responsible bid and as such, Staff recommends that they be awarded the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost for the construction phase of the project is $3,286,300, as detailed below:

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: The City Council has the option to either accept the BID Management Plan as it is presented, make additional recommendations, or give further direction to the board. Similarly, the City Council can choose to adopt the Logo as it is, offer recommendations, or provide direction to the BID Board for a new version of a downtown logo.
