AGENDA ITEM
City Council
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Whitney Zeller, Community and Economic Development Manager DATE: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBGDR) Multifamily Housing Program Loan Reservation in the Amount of $1,331,634 for the Shasta Lake Apartments Project, a 49-Unit Affordable Housing Project, Part of the Larger Downtown Revitalization Project.
FILE NO.: G-100-050-580
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommended action is to adopt a resolution authorizing a loan reservation of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Multifamily Housing Program (CDBG-DR-MHP) funds in the amount of $1,331,634 for the Shasta Lake Apartments Project, a 49-Unit Affordable Housing Project, part of the larger Downtown Revitalization Project, located at the 4600 Block of Shasta Dam Boulevard.
BACKGROUND:
The City was awarded a total of $1,530,614 in CDBG-DR-MHP grant funds by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in response to the 2018 fires. The Standard Agreement with HCD details that $1,331,634 of these funds will be expended as Activity Funds and $198,980 will be expended as Activity Delivery Funds.
The CDBG-DR-MHP funds must be used to assist in the creation of affordable rental housing. The program requires that projects include low to moderate income-housing rental households (<80% of the Area Median Income), they must have a minimum of 8 total units with a minimum of 4 affordable units, or 30% of units, whichever is greater, and projects must be completed and occupied by May 31, 2026. Eligible use of funds include architectural and engineering design, permitting fees, developer fees, mobilization, site prep, clean up, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation costs, and acquisition costs.
Funding will be provided in the form of a 55-year, 0% simple interest loan with an affordability term of 20 years to ensure the Project remains affordable to low-income tenants. Funding will address a financial gap not to exceed 40% of the total Project cost.
The City released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on November 8, 2021 requesting qualified proposals for the CDBG-DR Multifamily Housing Program. The NOFA/RFP were published on the City’s website, sent to a list of qualified developers, and posted on CIPLIST.com. Following the closing date of the RFP on February 7, 2022, the City received one application from ADK Properties LLC. The application requests funding for the Shasta Lake Apartments project in the amount of $1,330,000. The project would leverage CDBGDR-MHP funds with an AHSC/ADH Loan, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Equity, and a Construction Loan, for a total estimated project budget of $38,069,200.
The City’s Loan Committee reviewed and approved the application for recommendation to Council on February 25. The Loan Committee noted that the City had a total of $1,331,634 18-CDBG-DR-MHP direct project funds available in the program budget. With the requested loan amount resulting in a difference of $1,634 from the total available funding ($1,331,634), the Loan Committee increased the requested amount by $1,634 and finalized a recommended loan amount of $1,331,634.
The recommended action would reserve up to $1,331,634 in CDBG-DR-MHP funds for land acquisition, architectural and engineering design, and supervisory costs associated with the project. In order for the City to make a firm funding commitment, it must submit the application to HCD for final review and approval. The project must also comply with various federal overlay requirements and receive HCD’s and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) approval.
If Council approves a loan reservation, staff would return at a future City Council meeting for approval of the loan, provided that HCD and HUD approve the project, and HCD provides the City with a notice to proceed for issuance of the loan.
ADK Properties LLC anticipates securing the required funding for the Project over the next year and beginning construction in November 2023, with an estimated completion of construction in May 2025.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The reservation of $1,331,634 in CDBG-DR-MHP funds for the Shasta Lake Apartments Project would be fully funded by grant funds. Once the State has reviewed and approved the proposed project, the final loan commitment would be made. The remaining $ 198,980 of CDBG-DR-MHP grant funds would be used to cover Activity Delivery expenses, including administrative costs.

City Manager
AGENDA ITEM
City Council Meeting
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: James Takehara, Electric Utility Director
DATE: March 15, 2022
SUBJECT: Northern California Power Agency Service Agreements FILE NO: E-090-640-563
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute two service agreements with the Northern California Power Agency (“NCPA”): the “Power Management Administrative Services Agreement” (“PMASA”) and the “Facilities Agreement” (“FA”).
BACKGROUND:
On March 15, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution CC-16-26 authorizing the City Manager or designee to apply for Membership with NCPA and to execute all supporting contracts to participate in NCPA’s Legislative and Regulatory (“L&R”) functions. In 2017, the City of Shasta Lake (“City”) successfully completed the application process and became NCPA’s 16th member agency. The L&R has enabled to City, through its electric department, to actively engage in arenas where laws and regulations are authored, which has resulted in positive changes during the authorship process. As noted in the staff report that accompanied CC-16-26, joining NCPA and its L&R function would also provide opportunity to participate in other joint NCPA activities.
NCPA operates a “Power Management” business unit that focuses on the acquisition, marketing, scheduling, and dispatch of generation and contract resources on behalf of its Members and its customers. One activity NCPA has initiated is a competitive bid process to jointly purchase wholesale renewable energy on behalf of its Members.
The City is subject to the State’s renewable energy mandates, where at least 60% of the energy used to serve end-use customers must come from renewable energy resources (as defined by the State). The City has two main challenges to meeting the State’s mandate. First, the process to identify and evaluate prospective qualifying resources is time consuming for the City’s limited staff. Second, the City is a relatively small customer for some of these suppliers, which may negatively impact availability of supply and the cost of the supply. While staff has successfully managed its own portfolio, the City stands to gain efficiencies through NCPA’s Power Management services.
Staff wishes to participate in the joint purchase process of NCPA’s Power Management business unit. Jointly purchasing resources may increase purchasing power and may help diversify the City’s suppliers and resource types used toward the State’s renewable energy mandate.
Participating would give the City’s electric department access to a team who specializes in wholesale power transactions and administration.
The PMASA (“Power Management Administrative Services Agreement”) is an enabling agreement. It defines the types of services NCPA offers under its Power Management business unit and establishes its cost structure and allocation methodology. NCPA allocates its Power Management and Administrative costs based on an “activity-based costing” methodology.
Executing the PMASA does not create any costs itself. Costs only accrue once services are invoked. In this case, the City would only be subject to NCPA Power Management costs if renewable energy contracts are successfully negotiated and services begin.
The FA (“Facilities Agreement”) is a service agreement used for the administration of NCPA generating resources and power supply contracts. Any contract for renewable energy would fall under NCPA’s FA service model. Therefore, the City must execute the FA in order to participate in the joint purchase process for renewable energy. Executing the FA does not create any costs itself, for the reasons explained above. However, the FA establishes a technical advisory committee to the NCPA board of governors, the “Facilities Committee,” which is a Brown Act committee. By signing the FA, the City would become part of the Facilities Committee and must identify a representative. Staff recommends designating the Electric Utility Director or designee to act on the City’s behalf of the Facilities Committee.
The Electric Committee met on January 27, 2022 and supported the concept of joining NCPA’s Power Management program to support the City’s efforts to purchase renewable energy compliance instruments required under State law.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Signing the PMASA and FA would have no financial impact at this time. Power management costs would materialize only if the City decides to execute power supply contracts as part of NCPA’s joint purchasing process, or other activities. Such decisions would be brought before the City Council for consideration and any NCPA costs related to future proposals would be included in those discussions.

The Amended and Restated Facilities Agreement also contains various schedules that include detailed principles, descriptions and procedures for managing, operating, scheduling, billing and settlement for the NCPA Projects.
A Participant that is a Project Participant, or who desires to become a Project Participant and enter into a Project Agreement for the purpose of developing, designing, financing, constructing and operating a NCPA Project, is 2 POWER MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT SCHEDULE 2
required to become a signatory to the Amended and Restated Facilities Agreement.
1.2 Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement.

15.2 Withdrawal of Participants. Any Participant may withdraw from this Agreement (“Withdrawing Participant”) by: (1) submitting notice, in writing to all Parties at least two (2) years in advance of the effective date of such withdrawal, provided that such withdrawal shall only be effective on the last day of a NCPA fiscal year and that the Withdrawing Participant has fully satisfied all obligations it has incurred under this Agreement; and (2) divesting its Project Participation Percentage share of all NCPA Projects through a permanent transfer, sale, assignment or exchange, so that (i) the Withdrawing Participant permanently disposes of its legal and contractual obligation to pay for all Project Costs, and other related costs, including disposing of its obligations specified in each respective Project Agreement and Project Indenture of Trust, and (ii) the party (or parties) taking permanent transfer, sale, assignment or exchange of the Withdrawing Participant’s Project Participation Percentage of a NCPA Project is or becomes a Member Participant; provided, however, the withdrawal requirements stated herein may be altered upon mutual agreement between NCPA and the Withdrawing Participant whereby all un-discharged 40 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
liabilities, credits or obligations of the Withdrawing Participant, including any contingent liabilities, credits or obligation, are fully satisfied. NCPA and the Withdrawing Participant shall negotiate in good faith and shall cooperate in reaching such mutual agreement. The two (2) year duration of the notice requirement may be waived or reduced by the Commission in its sole discretion.
Withdrawal by any Participant shall not terminate this Agreement as to the remaining Participants.
15.3 No Effect on Prior Liabilities. Withdrawal by any Participant will not terminate any ongoing or un-discharged liabilities, credits or obligations, including any contingent liabilities, credits or obligations, resulting from this Agreement until they are satisfied in full, or such Withdrawing Participant has provided a mechanism acceptable to NCPA, for the satisfaction in full thereof.
A Withdrawing Participant shall not be obligated to compensate the remaining Participants for loss of any benefits that would have accrued to the remaining Participants if the Withdrawing Participant had continued its participation. Nor shall the remaining Participants be obligated to compensate the Withdrawing Participant for any benefits that accrue to the remaining Participants because of the withdrawal. Reallocation of the costs and benefits of continuing under this Agreement after a Participant has withdrawn shall not give rise to any claim against a Withdrawing Participant by the remaining 41 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
Parties. Nor shall any of the remaining Parties be obligated to compensate the Withdrawing Participant for any benefits that accrue to the remaining Parties because of such a reallocation of costs and benefits.
15.4 Associated Costs. A Withdrawing Participant shall reimburse NCPA for any and all costs resulting from the withdrawal, including but not limited to the legal, accounting, and administrative costs of winding up and assuring the complete satisfaction and discharge of the Withdrawing Participant’s liabilities, credits or obligations, including any contingent liabilities, credits or obligations.
15.5 Withdrawal of Participant from the JPA. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement, the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement, and this Agreement, a Member Participant that terminates its membership in the joint powers agency pursuant to the Joint Powers Agreement, but has not withdrawn from this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.2, shall continue its participation in this Agreement as a non-Member Participant and remain obligated and liable to pay its Project Participation Percentage share of all Project Costs, and other related costs attributed to a NCPA Project in which the non-Member Participant is a Project Participant, as specified in the applicable Project Agreements, the Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement, the Amended and 42 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement, and this Agreement, provided, however, the non-Member Participant is thereby no longer a Member or a member of the Facilities Committee, and is not entitled to participate in the activities of the Commission or the Facilities Committee, including voting activities, other than as a member of the public. A non-Member Participant shall remain obligated to take Scheduling Coordination Services provided by NCPA for all NCPA Projects in which the non-Member Participant is a Project Participant notwithstanding the fact that such non-Member Participant may no longer be a signatory to the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement.

Section 17. Settlement of Disputes and Arbitration. The Parties agree to make best efforts to settle all disputes among themselves connected with this Agreement as a matter of normal business under this Agreement. The procedures set forth in Section 10 of the Power Management and Administrative Services Agreement shall apply to all disputes that cannot be settled by the Participants themselves; provided, that the provisions of Section 8.4 shall first apply to all disputes involving invoices prepared by NCPA.
Section 18. Miscellaneous.
18.1 Confidentiality. The Parties will keep confidential all confidential or trade secret information made available to them in connection with this Agreement, to the extent possible, consistent with applicable laws, including the California Public Records Act. Confidential or trade secret information shall be marked or expressly identified as such.
If a Party (“Receiving Party”) receives a request from a Third Party for access to, or inspection, disclosure or copying of, any of the other Party’s (the “Supplying Party”) confidential data or information (“Disclosure Request”), then the Receiving Party shall provide notice and a copy of the Disclosure Request to 44 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
the Supplying Party within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Disclosure Request. Within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice, the Supplying Party shall provide notice to the Receiving Party either:
(i) that the Supplying Party believes there are reasonable legal grounds for denying or objecting to the Disclosure Request, and the Supplying Party requests the Receiving Party to deny or object to the Disclosure Request with respect to identified confidential information. In such case, the Receiving Party shall deny the Disclosure Request and the Supplying Party shall defend the denial of the Disclosure Request at its sole cost, and it shall indemnify the Receiving Party for all costs associated with denying or objecting to the Disclosure Request. Such indemnification by the Supplying Party of the Receiving Party shall include all of the Receiving Party’s costs reasonably incurred with respect to denial of or objection to the Disclosure Request, including but not limited to costs, penalties, and the Receiving Party’s attorney’s fees; or
(ii) the Receiving Party may grant the Disclosure Request without any liability by the Receiving Party to the Supplying Party.
18.2 Indemnification and Hold Harmless. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.4, each Participant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless NCPA and its Members, including their respective governing boards, officials, 45 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all claims, suits, losses, costs, damages, expenses and liability of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs of litigation, including experts, to the extent caused by any acts, omissions, breach of contract, negligence (active or passive), gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of that Participant, its governing officials, officers, employees, subcontractors or agents, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
18.3 Several Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided herein or in an applicable Project Agreement, no Participant shall be liable under this Agreement for the obligations of any other Participant, each Participant shall be solely responsible and liable for performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the obligation of each Participant under this Agreement is a several obligation and not a joint obligation with those of the other Participants.
18.4 No Consequential Damages. FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR WHICH AN EXPRESS REMEDY OR
MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE
LIABILITY OF THE DEFAULTING PARTY SHALL BE LIMITED AS SET
FORTH IN SUCH PROVISION, AND ALL OTHER DAMAGES OR REMEDIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED. IF NO REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGE IS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, THE LIABILITY OF THE DEFAULTING PARTY 46 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY AND ALL OTHER
DAMAGES AND REMEDIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED. IN NO EVENT SHALL
NCPA OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS,
ASSIGNS, REPRESENTATIVES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, OR
EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, CONSEQUENTIAL,
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL LOSSES OR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST
REVENUES, LOSS OF PROFIT OR LOSS OF CONTRACTS EVEN IF SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
AND NCPA AND EACH PARTICIPANT EACH HEREBY WAIVES SUCH
CLAIMS AND RELEASES EACH OTHER AND EACH OF SUCH PERSONS FROM ANY SUCH LIABILITY.
The Parties acknowledge that California Civil Code section 1542 provides that: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” The Parties waive the provisions of section 1542, or other similar provisions of law, and intend that the waiver and release provided by this Section of this Agreement shall be fully enforceable despite its reference to future or unknown claims.
47 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
18.5 Waiver. No waiver of the performance by a Party of any obligation under this Agreement with respect to any default or any other matter arising in connection with this Agreement shall be effective unless given by the Commission. Any such waiver by the Commission in any particular instance shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any subsequent performance, default or matter.

BILLING PROCEDURE AND NCPA PROJECT COST DETERMINANTS
Section 1. Billing Procedure. NCPA will issue invoices to each Participant for its allocated share of Project Costs, Administrative Services Costs, scheduling coordination costs, and all other costs for services provided in accordance with this Agreement. Such invoices may be either the All Resources Bill or separate special invoice, as determined by NCPA. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, NCPA shall issue invoices to each Participant as further described in this Facilities Schedule 3.
1.1 Pre-Billing. Prior to each month, NCPA shall issue an invoice to each Participant for its estimated share of Project Costs, Administrative Services Costs, scheduling coordination costs, and all other costs for services provided in accordance with this Agreement. Estimated costs shall be invoiced in advance and are based on, but are not limited to, budgets, schedules, metering data, forecasted net purchases or sales of energy, forecasted congestion costs and estimates of power and related attribute prices, and charges from the CAISO pursuant to the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement.
1.2 Adjustments and True-ups. From time to time, NCPA shall review and compare its estimate of costs as set forth in the Annual Budget against actual 2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 3
costs incurred during the same period of time. In the event estimated costs invoiced to Participants substantially deviate from actual costs incurred by NCPA, NCPA shall adjust the amounts to be invoiced or credited to the Participants in subsequent billings, in the respective cost category, for the balance of the Fiscal Year, to ensure NCPA collects sufficient funds to cover all budgeted and actual costs.
A substantial deviation from cost estimates approved in the Annual Budget means a permanent variation from a major objective or parameter of plus or minus five percent (5%) or more, unless otherwise provided for in the Annual Budget. A permanent variation is one that is not expected to reverse at a later date during the same Fiscal Year.
1.3 Annual Billing True-Up. At the end of each Fiscal Year, as soon as actual data is available and the annual year-end audit is complete, NCPA shall true-up all invoices based on actual cost data and actual billing determinates.
The amounts calculated to be over or under collected from the Participants during the Fiscal Year, measured against actual costs, will be debited or credited to Participants as follows:
(i) a lump sum on future invoices to the Participant;
(ii) applied to a Participant’s general operating reserve account; or
3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 3
(iii) as otherwise directed by the Commission.
Section 2. NCPA Project Costs and Billing. Project Costs, Administrative Services Costs, scheduling coordination costs, and all other costs associated with services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be reflected in the Annual Budget. The NCPA Project budgets included as part of the Annual Budget shall categorize costs as fixed and variable. Fixed costs are those Project Costs incurred that are not dependent on the output of the generating unit or plant (e.g., debt service and operating labor expenses). Variable costs are those Project Costs which are dependent on the electrical output of the generating unit or plant (e.g., fuel costs and operations and maintenance costs).
2.1 Cost Recovery. NCPA shall invoice monthly one-twelfth (1/12) of the budgeted costs for each NCPA Project to the Participants based on each Participant’s Project Participation Percentage share; provided, however, costs associated with fuel, GHG Compliance Instruments, or other costs that are subject to market volatility and which may change substantially from month to month during the Fiscal Year shall be invoiced based on actual costs for the respective month, or NCPA’s best estimate of such costs if actual costs are not known at the time the invoice is issued to the Participants. When estimated fuel, GHG Compliance Instruments or other costs are used, final adjustments for 4 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 3
actual costs shall be made in the annual billing true-up as provided in Section 1 of the Facilities Schedule 3.
Section 3. Uniform System of Accounts. NCPA shall keep accurate records and accounts for all costs attributed to each NCPA Project and the services provided under this Agreement.

FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
4.7 Outage Coordination. No later than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the beginning of each Calendar Year the project manager shall prepare and submit a planned outage schedule for the Hydroelectric Project for approval to the Facilities Committee. Changes or modifications made to the planned outage schedule during the course of the Calendar Year shall be subsequently reported to the Facilities Committee and each Project Participant in a timely manner, and with as much advanced notice as reasonably possible. Changes or modification made to the planned outage schedule during the course of the Calendar Year shall be evaluated to determine if such changes or modification may be in conflict with RA that has been committed by a Project Participant from the Hydroelectric Project, if any. If a conflict is identified, NCPA shall review the identified conflict with the Facilities Committee and/or each Project Participant, as time may permit, to discuss options that may be available to enable discretionary maintenance to be performed in accordance with Good Utility Practices, but that also strives to minimize Project Participant risk associated with the identified RA conflict. NCPA shall provide outage coordination services to track and report planned and unplanned outages pursuant to the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement.
Each Project Participant has a right to use its Project Participation Percentage share of Project Capacity as RA, if any. In accordance with the 15 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
CAISO Tariff, if RA is committed from a Resource Adequacy Resource for a period of time that is in conflict with a requested Maintenance Outage, the CAISO may require the facility to supply RA Substitute Capacity prior to CAISO approving the requested Maintenance Outage. If the facility that has been committed as a Resource Adequacy Resource fails to supply RA Substitute Capacity, as may be requested by the CAISO, the CAISO reserves the right to deny the requested Maintenance Outage.
To ensure NCPA, acting as project manager, is able to provide outage coordination services for the Hydroelectric Project in accordance with Good Utility Practices, NCPA shall be authorized to procure RA Substitute Capacity on behalf of a Project Participant if a Project Participant has committed all, or a portion, of its Project Participation Share of Project Capacity as RA during a time period that is in conflict with a requested Maintenance Outage, subject to the following conditions:
(a) As set forth in this Section 4.7, NCPA shall distribute a report to the Project Participants identifying any conflicts that are due to the Hydroelectric Project being claimed by a Project Participant as RA during a period of time that is in conflict with a requested Maintenance Outage;
16 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
(b) Within 30 calendar days from the date the report is delivered to the Project Participants, a Project Participant may elect to supply RA Substitute Capacity to NCPA to substitute for its share, or a portion thereof, of Project Capacity the Project Participant has committed as RA that is in conflict with the requested Maintenance Outage1; provided, however, if the period of time available for NCPA to supply RA Substitute Capacity to CAISO, as set forth in the CAISO Tariff, does not allow sufficient time for a Project Participant to supply RA Substitute Capacity within 30 calendar days from the date of the report, NCPA will include a deadline in the report by which a Project Participant may supply RA Substitute Capacity (the “Replacement Period”);
(c) After the Replacement Period, NCPA shall be authorized to seek to procure RA Substitute Capacity on behalf of a Project Participant, for the portion of Project Capacity that has been claimed by a Project Participant as RA that is in conflict with a requested Maintenance Outage, less the amount of RA Substitute Capacity
1 A Project Participant may request that NCPA assist with acquisition of RA Substitute Capacity, pursuant to any rights and obligations set forth in other program agreements (e.g., Amended and Restated Market Purchase Program Agreement).

that has been supplied to NCPA by Project Participants, if any, during the Replacement Period; and
(d) Project Costs incurred by NCPA for purchasing RA Substitute Capacity shall be allocated to Project Participants in proportion to the amount of Project Capacity that is committed by a Project Participant as RA, adjusted for the amount of RA Substitute Capacity that was supplied to NCPA by a Project Participant during the Replacement Period.
Section 5. Project Accounting.
5.1 General Considerations. The primary objective of project accounting is to record and account for each Operating Entity’s use of its Project Participation Percentage share of Project Inflow, NSM Storage, McKays Pondage, and Hydroelectric Project generation to satisfy its share of Project Minimum Flow Obligations as defined in the FERC License.
5.2 Criteria. A generation account, a NSM Storage account, and a McKays Pondage account will be established for each Operating Entity. The generation account, the McKays Pondage account and the NSM Storage account will following a 2400 clock hour.
5.3 Required Models. Project accounting will include four basic models as follows:
18 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
(i) Flow Calculation;
(ii) Generation Accounting;
(iii) NSM Storage Accounting;
(iv) McKays Pondage Accounting.
The four models will be run in the above sequence and make the following determinations:
5.3.1 Flow Calculation. Flow calculations will determine the non-storage-regulated and storage-regulated flows available for power generation at the NSM power plant and at the Collierville power plant.
Non-storage-regulated flows include releases from NSM Storage to satisfy the project FERC License requirements and unregulated flows entering the North Fork Stanislaus River below the NSM Dam and above the McKays Diversion Dam. Flow calculations will be made in accordance with Appendix A of this Facilities Schedule 7.
5.3.2 Generation Accounting. Generation accounting will determine the quantity of project generation produced by each Operating Entity. Generation accounting will be calculated in accordance with Appendix B of this Facilities Schedule 7.
5.3.3 NSM Storage Accounting. Storage accounting will
determine the amounts of NSM Storage for each Operating Entity. Storage 19 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
accounting will be calculated in accordance with Appendix C of this Facilities Schedule 7.
5.3.4 McKays Pondage Accounting. McKays Pondage
accounting will determine the amounts of McKays Pondage for each Operating Entity based on:
(i) the Operating Entity’s allocation of McKays Non-StorageRegulated Inflow; (ii) the Operating Entity’s allocation of McKays Storage-Related Inflow; and
(iii) the Operating Entity’s allocation of Collierville generation.
McKays Pondage accounting will be calculated in accordance with Appendix D of this Facilities Schedule 7.
5.4 Project Flow Determinations. Each day the project manager will determine Hydroelectric Project flows required for NSM Storage accounting as described in Appendix A of this Facilities Schedule 7, and will provide to each Operating Entity a report on Hydroelectric Project flow determination including the following items:
(a) UPA and CCWD project diversions;
(b) McKays downstream releases including spill;
(c) McKays Minimum Outflow Requirements (a + b);
20 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
(d) Collierville discharge;

FLOW CALCULATIONS
Section 1. Definitions. Unless defined in this Appendix A of Facilities Schedule 7, all terms used in this Appendix A of Facilities Schedule 7 with initial capitalization shall have the same meaning as those contained in Section 1 or Facilities Schedule 7 of this Agreement.
1.1 “Bank Storage” means the storage within the banks of a river stretch resulting from the change in river stage at different flows. Filling and emptying of Bank Storage results in time delays between changes in discharge at NSM Dam and the corresponding changes in observed flow at McKays. Bank Storage in all stretches of the river below NSM is represented as an imaginary pondage reservoir above McKays.
1.2 “NSM Storage-Regulated-Flows” means releases into Bank Storage from NSM Reservoir exclusively to produce power at the NSM power plant or to produce power or ancillary services at the Collierville power plant.
1.3 “NSM Non-Storage-Regulated-Flows” means releases into Bank Storage from the NSM Reservoir to satisfy Project Minimum Flow Obligations including: (i) minimum flows below NSM Dam, (ii) minimum flows at Big Trees State Park, (iii) required Mill Creek Tap Diversion; (iv) minimum flows below 2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
McKays Point Dam, (v) minimum flows below the confluence of Beaver Creek and the North For Stanislaus River, and (vi) NSM spill.
1.4 “Unregulated Flow” means unregulated flow into McKays including the following: (i) inflow to the North Fork Stanislaus River below NSM Dam and below the North Fork Diversion Structure, (ii) North Fork Diversion Structure spill and fish release, and (iii) Beaver Creek diverted flows.
Section 2. Basic Hydro Data. All flow calculations will be based on the following measurements:
(i) NSM releases include the following:
a. NSM power plant discharge;
b. NSM outlet works discharge; and
c. NSM spill;
(ii) NSM Reservoir elevation;
(iii) McKays Pondage inflows, including:
a. Avery gauge; and
b. Beaver Creek diverted flow measurement;
(iv) McKays Pondage outflows, including:
a. Collierville power plant discharge;
b. Mill Creek Tap diversions;
c. McKays downstream fish release; and
3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
d. McKays spill;
(v) Stream gauge below McKays Dam – indirect spill calculation only;
(vi) McKays Pond elevation.
Section 3. General Procedure.
(i) All flows will be calculated and routed through the system using the model described herein.
(ii) The model will be considered to comprise three subsystems as follows:
a. NSM subsystem;
b. McKays subsystem; and
c. Bank Storage subsystem.
(iii) The Bank Storage subsystem will serve as a substitute for the effect of natural bank storage within the river system between NSM Dam and McKays Dam to represent travel time.
Section 4. Routing.
4.1 Routing Interval. A basic routing interval of one-half hour is used.
Computations will be based on average water and power flows recorded over the routing interval.
4 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
4.2 Routing Criteria. The following criteria will be used in flow routing:
(i) Bank Storage outflow will be assumed to come:
a. First from Bank Storage of NSM Non-Storage-Regulated Flow; and
b. Second from Bank Storage of NSM Storage-Regulated
Flow.
(ii) Big Trees flow in excess of available Bank Storage will be assumed to be Unregulated Inflow into McKays.
Section 5. Flows.
5.1 McKays Flows.
(i) Determine McKays outflow from McKays Pondage as the sum of Collierville discharge, Mill Creek Tap diverted flow, McKays fish release and McKays spill.
(ii) Determine McKays Inflow as the sum of McKays outflow plus the change in McKays Pondage.
(iii) McKays minimum outflow is the sum of the flow diverted from the Mill Creek Tap and the McKays fish release.
(iv) Determine Big Trees flows as McKays Inflow less Beaver Creek diverted flow.
5 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
5.2 NSM Flows.
(i) Determine NSM release as the sum of NSM power plant discharge, NSM outlet works discharge and NSM spill.
(ii) Determine NSM inflow as the sum of NSM release and the change in NSM Storage.
5.3 Bank Storage Flows.
(i) Bank Storage inflow is equal to the sum of NSM Storage less NSM Storage-Regulated Releases and NSM Non-Storage-Regulated Releases. (ii) Bank Storage is accumulated in those routing intervals when Bank Storage inflow is greater than Big Trees flow. Bank Storage for each Operating Entity will be classified and accumulated as non-storage-regulated or storage-regulated, in accordance with the classification of the release from NSM. (iii) Bank Storage outflow is used to supply Big Trees flow. (iv) If there is not sufficient Bank Storage to supply all of the Big Trees flow, then the balance of the Big Tree flow is assumed to be Unregulated Inflow directly into McKays and not through Bank Storage. (v) In accordance with the routing criteria stated herein, all nonstorage-regulated water in Bank Storage is depleted before any storage-regulated water is released.

GENERATION ACCOUNTING
Section 1. General Considerations. Project generation may be placed in three principal categories:
1.1 Generation which must be produced at the Collierville power plant:
(i) to discharge unregulated flows entering the North Fork Stanislaus River below NSM Dam or below the North Fork Diversion Structure including Beaver Creek Diversion discharge; or
(ii) to discharge North Fork Diversion Dam spill or NSM spill through the Collierville power plant.
1.2 Generation produced at the NSM power plant resulting from the release of NSM Storage to satisfy minimum release requirements of the FERC License.
1.3 Generation produced at the NSM and Collierville power plant resulting from the release of storage to meet the energy and ancillary service requirements of the Operating Entities.
Section 2. Generation Accounting.
2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
2.1 Operating Entity Responsibilities. Each Operating Entity is responsible for submitting NSM water release schedules, NSM energy schedules, Collierville energy schedules, ancillary service self-provision schedules and bids to the project manager in the time frames as specified in the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement. Each Operating Entity’s pre-scheduled daily NSM water release schedules will be developed by the project manager based on each Operating Entity’s estimate of Collierville energy use for that day. Each Operating Entity shall provide an estimate of total daily Collierville energy use no later than 07:00 each pre-scheduling day. NSM water release schedules can be adjusted for future hours, but not for the currently active hour, and not retroactively. Energy and ancillary service schedules must follow the scheduling protocols of the CAISO Tariff and the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement, and are therefore not changeable after having been processed through the CAISO scheduling process.
2.2 NSM Generation. Generation actually produced at the NSM power plant will be allocated to the Operating Entities in proportion to their water release schedules up to the available generator capacity. Water release schedules that flow through the available generators will be referred to as “non-bypass releases”. In the event of water release schedules in excess of available generator capacity (i.e., “bypass releases”), water accounting will be based on bypass 3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
releases plus non-bypass releases. This allocation means that it is the NSM water release schedules, and not the NSM energy schedules, that form the basis for the allocation of power at NSM. The NSM energy schedules are needed to determine CAISO energy balancing purposes in the day-ahead market, and should correspond appropriately to the NSM water release schedules, but ultimately it is the NSM water release schedules that dictate the allocation.
2.3 Collierville Generation. Collierville discharge through the power plant is allocated to the Operating Entities in the same proportion as the metered energy allocation results described in Appendix B to the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement (commonly referred to as the Unit Energy Allocation or (“UEA”)).

APPENDIX C
NSM STORAGE ACCOUNTING
Section 1. General Considerations. Each Operating Entity will be allocated its Project Participation Percentage share of NSM Storage. Storage accounting will determine the amount of NSM Storage drafted by each Operating Entity each day and the status of the Operating Entity's allocation of NSM Storage at the end of each day.
An Operating Entity may utilize the Project Participation Percentage share of NSM Reservoir storage of other Operating Entities, provided that, if it is necessary to spill at NSM Dam, such spill will be assumed to be first from water stored by the Operating Entity who is using the Project Participation Percentage share of NSM Reservoir storage of other Operating Entities. The allocation of spill will be based on the amount the Operating Entities are “over-filled” relative to their respective Project Participation Percentage shares of NSM Reservoir storage. If more than one Operating Entity is over-filled, the initial allocation of spill will be pro-rata to each based on the amount each is over-filled. Once all water stored in the Project Participation Percentage share of others is spilled, any remaining spill is allocated based on Project Participation Percentage shares.
Section 2. NSM Storage Accounting.
2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
2.1 NSM Inflow Allocation. Each Operating Entity will be allocated its NSM Inflow (as determined in accordance with Appendix A of this Facilities Schedule 7, Flow Calculations) by Project Participation Percentage share.
2.2 NSM Release Allocation. Each Operating Entity shall provide a NSM water release schedule for each interval of each day. The actual NSM water releases, calculated as described in Appendix A of this Facilities Schedule 7, will be pro-rated to the Operating Entities based on the water release schedules. The Facilities Schedule 7 model algorithm will automatically allocate the actual NSM water releases by Operating Entity in each interval first to satisfy each Operating Entity's share of the NSM Minimum Release. These are classified in accordance with Appendix A of this Facilities Schedule 7 as non-storage-regulated flows.
The remainder of each Operating Entity's water release will be considered storage-regulated flows.
2.3 NSM Storage Change. The change in NSM Storage of each Operating Entity will be equal to the Operating Entity’s allocation of NSM Inflow minus each Operating Entity’s storage-regulated and non-storage-regulated releases.
2.4 End-of-Interval NSM Storage. The end-of-interval NSM Storage of each Operating Entity will be the algebraic sum of the Operating Entity's beginning-of-interval NSM Storage and its NSM Storage change. 1 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT

MCKAYS PONDAGE ACCOUNTING
Section 1. General Considerations. Determinations of McKays Pondage accounts for each Operating Entity will be made each day.
Section 2. McKays Pondage Accounting.
2.1 McKays Entitlement. Each Operating Entity will be allocated an entitlement amount of the total useable McKays Pondage in accordance with this Appendix D of Facilities Schedule 7.
2.2 Storage in Excess of Entitlement. An Operating Entity may utilize the McKays Pondage entitlements of other Operating Entities, provided that if it is necessary to spill at McKays Dam, such spill will be assumed to be first from water stored by the Operating Entity who is using the entitlement of other Operating Entities. The allocation of spill will be based on the amount the Operating Entities are “over-filled” relative to their Project Participation Percentage share of McKays Pondage. If more than one Operating Entity is overfilled, the initial allocation of spill will be pro-rata to each Operating Entity based on the amount each Operating Entity is over-filled. Once all water stored in the entitlements of others is spilled, any remaining spill is allocated based on Project Participation Percentage shares.
2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
2.3 Allocation of Flows. Flows are allocated to each Operating Entity as follows:
(i) Unregulated inflow, non-storage regulated inflow, inflow from Beaver Creek, Mill Creek Tap Outflow and McKays Fish Release are allocated based on Project Participation Percentage shares;
(ii) Storage-regulated inflow is allocated in accordance with the bank storage routing criteria specified in Appendix A of this Facilities Schedule 7, and the accumulated Operating Entity Project Participation Percentage shares of the storage-regulated water in bank storage, based on each Operating Entity's NSM water release schedules;
(iii) Spill is allocated as specified in Section 2.2 of this Appendix D; and
(iv) Collierville discharge through the power plant is allocated to the Operating Entities in the same proportion as the metered energy allocation results described in Appendix B of the Amended and Restated Scheduling Coordination Program Agreement (commonly referred to as the Unit Energy Allocation (“UEA”), and which allocates NSM energy based on the NSM water release schedules).
2.4 Operating Entity Pondage. At the end of each interval, each Operating Entity’s McKays Pondage is determined by algebraically summing the 3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 7
Operating Entity’s allocation of inflows and outflows with the ending McKays Pondage from the previous interval.
2.5 Water Trades Between McKays and NSM Pondage. Any two Operating Entities, by mutual consent, may trade water in McKays, and make a simultaneous offsetting reverse trade of their Pondage at NSM. The quantity of the offsetting trade at NSM is reduced to compensate the Operating Entity trading away at NSM for the loss of the opportunity to generate with that water through the NSM power plant. The trade at NSM will be reduced by 8% (based on the historical generation water duty ratio for NSM releases) relative to the trade at McKays.
Water trades are effective as of 0001 of the agreed-upon trade day (since the Facilities Schedule 7 algorithm re-calculates each interval of the current day every half-hour, this means that there will be no retroactive computer re-runs required). A trade can be arranged to apply no earlier than 0001 of the current day. Once agreed by the trading Operating Entities, the trade will be scheduled by the project manager. Trades are of water only with no corresponding financial payments. If there is no willing partner to a proposed trade, then each Operating Entity's Pondage results are unchanged, and all Facilities Schedule 7 results, including the allocation of spill, remain unchanged. 1 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT

RESERVE FUNDS
Reserve funds shall be established by the Commission for each NCPA Project as set forth in this Facilities Schedule 10. Reserve Funds shall be classified as either "Mandatory Reserve Funds" or "Additional Reserve Funds." Section 1. Mandatory Reserve Funds. Each NCPA Project that is financed by the issuance of notes, bonds, or other public debt (“Bonds”) is secured by the provisions of a Project Indenture of Trust. Each Project Indenture of Trust establishes, among other things, various interrelated reserve funds for the protection of the holders of the Bonds. The following Mandatory Reserve Funds are governed by the provisions of the applicable Project Indenture of Trust:
1.1 Debt Service Reserve Fund. A reserve equal to the maximum annual debt service over the life of the outstanding debt. This reserve fund may be used to pay debt service in the event that amounts in the debt service fund are not sufficient.
1.2 Reserve and Contingency Fund. The renewal and replacement account is a subaccount of the reserve and contingency fund used to pay the cost of acquisition and construction relating to any capital improvement. In general, a capital improvement is a repair, addition, improvement, modification or betterment to a NCPA Project that is: (i) consistent with Good Utility Practice 2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 10
and determined necessary by the Commission to keep the NCPA Project in good operating condition or to prevent a loss of revenue therefrom; (ii) required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the NCPA Project; or (iii) not any generating unit in addition to those included in the NCPA Project. (See the appropriate Project Indenture of Trust for specific definition).
The reserve account is a subaccount of the reserve and contingency fund used to pay the cost of the following to the extent not provided for in the Annual Budget or by an operating reserve in the operating fund: (i) acquisition and construction relating to capital improvements to the extent amounts in the renewal and replacement account are not sufficient; and (ii) items related to extraordinary operations and maintenance costs and contingencies, including payments to prevent or correct any unusual loss or damage to the NCPA Project.
Any increase or decrease in the balance to be on deposit in this account must be recommended by the consulting engineer as provided in the applicable Project Indenture of Trust.
1.3 General Reserve. The general reserve is a subaccount of the general reserve used to pay any deficiencies in any other funds and accounts established by the Project Indenture of Trust and for any other purpose related to the NCPA Project. The rate stabilization account is a subaccount of the general reserve used to provide revenues so that Participant rates may be stabilized. 3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 10
1.4 Operating Fund. A fund used to pay current NCPA Project operating expenses. This fund also contains any amounts set aside as working capital or operating reserves. In its Annual Budget process, the Commission will determine and establish appropriate purposes for and levels of operating reserves to be held and maintained in the operating fund of the applicable NCPA Project. Such operating reserves may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(i) the working capital reserve is a reserve equal to the average amount of capital required for operating purposes to fund expenditures made prior to receipt of revenue collections; and
(ii) the maintenance reserve is a reserve for anticipated periodic operating costs including, but not limited to, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance other than ordinary repairs and replacements, e.g., overhaul, inspection, etc.
Upon completion of construction of the applicable NCPA Project, interest income on such reserves is considered a revenue for Project Indenture of Trust purposes, and therefore treated as an operating revenue to NCPA to be allocated back to the applicable NCPA Project.
Section 2. Additional Reserve Funds. Additional Reserve Funds may be established by the Commission from time to time, provided their establishment 4 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 10
does not affect the funding, maintenance, or operation of any Mandatory Reserve Fund.
Funding mechanisms for all Additional Reserve Funds will be determined on a case by case basis by the Commission upon the recommendation of the Facilities Committee, but unless such Additional Reserve Fund is limited to a specific project, may not be funded under a Project Agreement. If the additional Reserve Fund is designated for capital improvements, the recommendation of the NCPA Finance Committee will also be requested.
NCPA shall maintain separate accounts for all Additional Reserve Funds.
Unless otherwise required by a Project Indenture of Trust, at the time an Additional Reserve Fund is established, the Commission shall determine whether the interest accrued on the balance of the fund shall be treated and accounted for as: (i) operating revenue to NCPA to be allocated back to the applicable NCPA Project, or (ii) an addition to the balance of the fund. NCPA shall maintain records and provide reports for each Additional Reserve Fund as provided in this Agreement.

PROJECT PHASES
Pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, any NCPA Project undertaken by NCPA may have one or more phases. Facilities Schedule supplements the description of each phase provided in Section 6 of this Agreement.
Section 1. First Phase Projects. Review and recommendations regarding First Phase Project activities shall be made by the Facilities Committee. Each Member obtains a right to participate in any Project identified by First Phase activity proportional to its contribution to First Phase costs at the time a Project is identified and becomes a candidate for Second Phase activity. First Phase activity includes the following typical scope of work:
(i) make general investigations and obtain currently available background, technical, economic and other preliminary data concerning the feasibility of a specific Project; and
(ii) hold initial discussions to gain sufficient understanding of data and circumstances surrounding the proposed Project to enable staff to report, and/or recommend Participant participation in Second Phase activity and execution of a Second Phase Agreement enabling such activity.
Section 2. Second Phase NCPA Projects. Second Phase development activity begins upon the identification of a Project in substantial detail to allow 2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 11
proceeding with participation agreements resulting from investigations pursuant to First Phase activities.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Second Phase participation rights are based a Participant’s share of funding First Phase activities. Final Second Phase Project Participation Percentages will be determined by election by those Project Participants desiring to participate pursuant to the Second Phase Agreement. A Second Phase project must be fully subscribed to proceed with the scope of work for the project. Limitations in scope of work, off ramps or conditions of participation in Second Phase projects will be addressed in the language of the associated Second Phase Agreement.
Funding for Second Phase projects may proceed in two steps:
2.1 Step 1. Step 1, is defined as the period from identification of a Second Phase project, up to the final execution of a Second Phase Agreement for all Participants desiring participation. Step 1 funding sources will be determined at the discretion of the Project Participants. Typically, funding for Step 1 costs will be by direct assessments to Participants or by withdrawals from Participants' Second Phase funds, in accordance with each Participant's Project Participation Percentage at the time of authorization of Step 1.
Step 1 is optional and is provided in order to maintain continuity in the project or to advance the project to some gain not otherwise obtainable without 3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 11
implementing Step 1. All Step 1 costs will be included for ultimate reimbursement and accounted for in the final Second Phase Agreement executed by the Project Participants. Project Participation Percentages may change from Step 1 to Step 2. In the event that the Second Phase project is terminated before final execution of a Second Phase Agreement, each Project Participant will absorb those costs expended, up to and including termination costs. No refunds are anticipated for Step 1 costs associated with a terminated project.
2.2 Step 2. Step 2 is defined as the period beginning at final execution of a Second Phase Agreement and ending either when the Third Phase Agreement for the NCPA Project becomes effective, or in the case where an NCPA Project does not progress to the Third Phase, upon termination of the Second Phase Agreement.
Step 2 costs will be funded at the discretion of the Project Participants.
Typical funding for Step 2 costs will be by direct assessment, temporary financing or permanent financing, depending on the needs of the project and Project Participants. Second Phase costs will consist of all Step 1 costs (optional) and all Step 2 costs. All Second Phase costs will be included for ultimate reimbursement and accounted for in the final Third Phase Agreement executed by the Project Participants. Project Participation Percentages may change from the Second Phase to Third Phase of a project. In the event that the Second Phase 4 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 11
of a project is terminated prior to the final execution of a Third Phase Agreement, each Project Participant will absorb those costs expended, up to and including termination costs. No refunds are anticipated for Second Phase costs associated with a terminated project. Second Phase activity includes the following typical scope of work:
(i) licensing/permitting of a project;
(ii) preparation of design or turn-key specification documents for construction or a project; and
(iii) negotiation of contracts.
Section 3. Third Phase NCPA Projects. Third Phase activities are described in Section 6 of this Agreement.

FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
FEDERAL TAX GUIDELINES RELATING TO PRIVATE BUSINESS USE NCPA has issued a number of Bond issues (the “Bonds”) for the NCPA Projects which have been “traditional” tax exempt bond or Build America Bond obligations, which are “tax advantaged” under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Tax Status”). This Facilities Schedule 12 summarizes and documents the various federal tax restrictions approved by the Commission to be used as guidelines relating to private business use of the NCPA Projects and the capacity and energy from the NCPA Projects required to qualify and maintain the Tax Status of the Bonds. Failure to comply with the private business use requirements set forth in this Facilities Schedule 12 may adversely affect the Tax Status of the Bonds.
Section 1. Definitions. Unless defined in this Facilities Schedule 12, all terms used in this Facilities Schedule 12 with initial capitalization shall have the same meaning as those contained in Section 1 of this Agreement.
1.1 “Bonds” means bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of NCPA (including, without limitation, contracts relating to letters of credit or other credit enhancement devises, interest rate swap and other agreements relating to interest rate or other cash-flow exchanges such as those authorized by the Public Finance Contracts Law, and other contracts which are characterized as 2 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT

debt by NCPA at or prior to the execution thereof) issued to finance or refinance a NCPA Project and to finance or refinance any contributions-in-aid-ofconstruction for construction necessary for the adjacent electric system to interconnect with a NCPA Project and includes additional bonds to complete a NCPA Project and may consist of that portion of an issue of NCPA bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued to finance the costs of a NCPA Project, which portion is specifically identified as Bonds.
1.2 “Build America Bonds” or “BABs” means taxable municipal bonds that feature tax credits and/or federal subsidies for bondholders and state and local government bond issuers.
1.3 “Internal Revenue Code” means all federal tax laws.
1.4 “Internal Revenue Service” means the federal agency responsible for administering and enforcing the Treasury Department’s revenue laws, through the assessment and collection of taxes, determination of pension plan qualification, and related activities.
1.5 “Treasury Regulations” means tax regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
Section 2. Restrictions on Non-Governmental Use. Neither NCPA nor the Participants may expect that (i) more than five (5) percent of the proceeds of a Bond issue will be used to make or finance loans to any person other than a state 3 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
or local governmental unit, or (ii) except as described below, more than the permitted amount of the proceeds of a Bond issue (that is, the lesser of 10 percent or $15 million, as applicable) will be used in any trade or business carried on by any natural person or any activity carried on by anyone other than a natural person or a State or local governmental unit.
“Use” includes the sale of power (whether consisting of capacity, energy, or both, including the sale of ancillary services) to non-governmentally owned utilities (including e.g., the federal government, Bonneville Power Administration and Western Area Power Administration) pursuant to output or requirements contracts as well as any other arrangements for the sale of power on terms different from those available to the general public. Such may include contracts with retail customers that contain provisions which obligate a customer to make payments that are not contingent on the output requirements of the customer or that obligate the customer to have output requirements (including provisions which obligate the customer not to cease operations). The private business use restrictions are applied by taking into account any arrangements NCPA or any of the Participants have with non-exempt persons (generally, for these purposes any entity or person other than a municipally owned utility) for the sale of power from a NCPA Project. Use also includes providing a nongovernmental person with control, whether direct or indirect, over the 4 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
operations, maintenance or decision making as to when to run or not run a particular NCPA Project (in tax parlance such rights would be called “special legal entitlements”). Such special legal entitlements also may create private business use.
Applicable Treasury Regulations provide an exception to private business use if the non-governmental person uses the property (or the capacity or energy for the property) as a member of the general public. This occurs if the “property is intended to be available and in fact is reasonably available for use on the same basis by natural persons not engaged in a trade or business.” Use on the same basis as the general public may include a fee or charge for use, so long as the rates charged are generally applicable and uniformly applied. These rates may vary in certain respects, such as different rates based on volume, so long as the difference in rates is customary and reasonable. Any arrangement that gives the non-exempt person special priority rights or preferential benefits is not use on the same basis as the general public.
Section 3. Specific Private Business Use Exceptions Relating to the NCPA Projects. NCPA and the Participants will enter into a variety of arrangements with non-exempt persons, including wholesale customers of NCPA, wholesale and retail customers of the Participants, and non-governmental utilities and other providers and purchasers of electric generation, transmission, and 5 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
distribution service. Each of these arrangements will be treated as private business use in evaluating compliance with the limits described in Section 2 of this Facilities Schedule 12, except to the extent that the arrangement either satisfies one of the following exceptions to the limitations on private business use and private security or payments, or NCPA or the Participants obtain an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the arrangement will not adversely affect the Tax Status of the Bonds:
(i) in the case of sales of electric generation or distribution service, the term of such transaction will not exceed three (3) years (including renewal options) and will be negotiated, arm’s length arrangements that provide for compensation at fair market value or are based on generally applicable and uniformly applied rates, and the related facility (e.g. a NCPA Project) was not financed with a principal purpose of providing that facility for use by that nongovernmental person; (ii) in the case of sales of electric generation or distribution service, the compensation for such service and any other payments in respect of such use will not exceed NCPA’s or the Participant’s, as applicable, properly allocable cost of ordinary and necessary expenses that are directly attributable to the operation of the financed property used by the non-governmental person; 6 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
(iii) in the case of sales of electric generation or distribution service, the output is sold (a) to a retail customer pursuant to a requirements contract that does not require the customer to make payments unless it actually has requirements, (b) under a contract pursuant to which the average annual payments made under the contract do not exceed the amount permitted under the de minimis rule contained in the applicable regulations, (c) under a contract the terms of which comply with (i) above, or (d) from non-bond financed system resources of the Participant which are physically capable of supplying the output being sold;
(iv) the arrangement will not involve use of the Project (e.g., nonbond financed resources or contracts involving the resale of generation provide by an investor owned utility to NCPA);
(v) the use of the NCPA Projects that would constitute private business use is allocable to (a) Bonds that have been “remediated” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.141-12 (or repaid in their entirety), or (b) equity, or (c) taxable bonds issued by NCPA, or (d) issues of bonds that have been fully repaid;
(vi) an agreement that provides for the swapping or pooling of output by one or more non-governmental persons to the extent that: (a) the swapped output is reasonably expected to be approximately equal in value 7 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
(determined over periods of one year or less), and (b) the purpose of the agreement is to enable each of the parties to satisfy different peak load demands, to accommodate temporary outages, to diversify supply, or to enhance reliability in accordance with prudent reliability standards; and
(vii) the use of the NCPA Project is by an entity that qualifies as an agency or instrumentality of NCPA approved by the Internal Revenue Service or Bond Counsel.
Section 4. Sale of Renewable Energy Certificates. In a private letter ruling, the Internal Revenue Service concluded that under certain circumstances the sale of renewable energy certificates (“RECs”) does not create any private business use. If a Participant transacts to sell some or all of the RECs resulting from the generation at one or more of the NCPA Projects to non-governmental person with contract terms longer than three (3) years (contracts of three (3) years or less would meet one of the exceptions from private business use described in Section 3 of this Facilities Schedule 12) such transaction must satisfy the following basic requirements to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service:
(i) that the purchase of RECs does not entitle the REC purchaser to any electric energy from the NCPA Project;
8 AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITIES AGREEMENT
FACILITIES SCHEDULE 12
(ii) the Participant will retain exclusive control over its entitlement to the NCPA Project, its operations and any decision regarding how or whether to operate the NCPA Project;
(iii) the Participant will not be under any obligation to produce, or cause to be produced, any renewable energy or to operate, or cause the Project to be operated at all or at any particular level; and
(iv) the REC contracts will not give the REC purchaser any direct or indirect voice in how any component of the NCPA Project will be operated or maintained.
Section 5. Compliance with Private Business Use Limits by Participants.
Private business use limitations set forth in this Facilities Schedule apply in aggregate to all actions by NCPA and the Participants. Accordingly, NCPA will implement internal procedures and requirements necessary to assure compliance with the private business use limits as specified in this Facilities Schedule, including:
(i) contractual obligations of the Participants to comply with private business use limits and other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, and

2020-2040 COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE - STATUS
The City of Shasta Lake is currently working on a comprehensive update to its General Plan, first adopted in 1999 following City incorporation. The General Plan Update will help shape Shasta Lakes’ growth and change through the year 2040. The City is making a substantial effort to ensure the update process is open and accessible to everyone, and much of the Update information, including all draft Elements, is available online for public review and comment.
As of December 2021, all draft Elements have been approved by the City Council for public release. The draft Elements that have been completed for public release are listed below.
The City expects to adopt the Updated General Plan in 2022, following completion and circulation of the Environmental Impact Report, which is in production at the time of this APR preparation.
• Land Use Element. The Land Use Element sets forth specific goals, policies, and implementation measures which will shape future physical development, community design, and quality of life in the City through 2040. The Land Use Element and the Land Use and Circulation diagrams identify the proposed location, distribution, and extent of land uses.
• Conservation Element. The Conservation Element contains policies intended to guide the conservation of the natural resources that are fundamental components of Shasta Lake’s environment. These resources help define the City’s identity, and are relied upon for continued economic prosperity. Over the 2021 SB 341 Annual Report
2021 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Report long term, conservation is the most cost-effective strategy to ensure a reliable supply of resources needed now and in the future for the benefit of the community.
• Open Space Element. The Open Space Element implements a community vision that will protect, enhance, and manage the City’s open space resources, including parks. Open space is defined as any parcel or area of land or water that is unimproved and devoted to open-space use. (Cal. Gov. Code § 65560(b)). The General Plan Vision Statement recognizes that parks and recreational amenities are critical to creating a high quality of life for all citizens.
Residents also recognize that scenic foothill views and water features are character-defining attributes of the City and provide the visual backdrop for the community. This Element identifies recreational amenities, trail and open space connectivity, and park facilities as key opportunities for the City to enhance community character.
• Circulation Element. The Circulation Element of the General Plan Update reflects a strategy to address all infrastructure needs that are necessary for the circulation of people, goods, energy, water, sewage, storm drainage, and communications. This element supports the need to provide efficient and reliable services and infrastructure with the overall vision of maintaining Shasta Lake as a safe, vibrant community with a small-town feel, walkable neighborhoods and strong employment opportunities.
• Public Safety and Community Health Element (PS&CH). General plans must include a safety element that covers public safety and community protection from risks associated with natural and man-made hazards. The 2021 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is a major part of the General Plan PS&CH Element.
Both the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and the draft Element discuss specific natural hazards with a high likelihood of occurrence or a high potential severity that could affect the community. For this reason, the most recent HMP is incorporated by reference as part of the Public Safety and Community Health Element. Significant topics addressed in the draft Element include:
1) Public Safety and Emergency Response.
2) Natural Hazards.
3) Community Health and Wellness.
4) Noise
5) Air Quality
6) Hazardous Materials and Waste Management
Noise: In this General Plan Update, noise is addressed under the Environmental Quality section (Section 7.5) of the PS&CH. The Element contains community noise information that identifies and appraises community noise issues from sources such as high-volume roadways and incompatible land uses. Consistent with state law, policies in the Element provide long-term direction on how noise impacts will be addressed as the community develops.
Air Quality: Air quality must be addressed in the General Plan as well, and air quality information and policies are also included in the Environmental Quality section of the PS&CH Element. The state required Community Climate Vulnerability Assessment is included as an appendix to the Element. Air quality, including climate change, is addressed under the Environmental Quality section (Section 7.5) of the PS&CH as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager, City of Shasta Lake
FROM: John Sullivan Kenny, City Attorney
DATE: February 11, 2022
RE: Accepting Interest in Real Property
The County Recorder may not record a deed that conveys a real property interest to the City without the deed being accompanied by a Certificate of Acceptance. A Certificate of Acceptance is a document acknowledging that the City accepts the property interest.
This can be done by a resolution of the City Council accepting each deed or by an acceptance signed by a City official authorized to do so by a resolution of the City Council.
The issue of accepting property is not uncommon and usually arises in land use or development matters where the City requires easements for roads, utilities and the like. It is not an efficient practice to require a separate resolution (which requires a staff report; lead time for the Council agenda and time at the Council meeting) for the acceptance of each deed. It is common practice for cities to delegate to City Officers the authority to execute Certificates of Acceptance.
Attached is a Resolution accomplishing this purpose and a form Certificate of Acceptance. The resolution number could be included on the printed form to avoid the need to search each time a certificate is needed.

SUBJECT: Property Purchase 064-440-029 (3570 Iron Court), 064-440-008, 064- 440-009 - Update and Supplemental Appropriation
FILE NO.: New
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council receive an update on authorized property purchase of 064- 440-029 (3570 Iron Court), 064-440-008, 064-440-009 and approve a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $2,350,000.
BACKGROUND:
On February 1, 2022, City Council directed the City Manager to proceed with negotiations for the property located at APNs: 064-440-029 (3570 Iron Court), 064-440-008, and 064-440-009. The said property was listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and has been listed for over a year. Staff provided an update to City Council on the status of negotiations on February 15th and received further direction. The City Manager received an accepted offer in the amount of $2,350,000 for all three parcels on February 16th. The City completed their inspections and due diligence on Wednesday 3/2/2022; removing all contingencies. Escrow will close on or before April 4, 2022.
Please accept the following report and background for the property purchase:
Condition of Existing Electric Utility Operations Building (Corporation Yard):
The Electric Utility operations building which houses electric linemen staff and electric utility service vehicles was constructed in approximately 1987. The 38’ wide by 83’ long light-frame steel building, by all accounts, was not engineered correctly. The portion of the City’s Corporation Yard where the operations building sits is widely known to have been a dumping site prior to 1987.
Over the past several years, electric staff have noticed the building’s frame settling when adjusting the garage doors to close properly.
In March of 2021, staff met with PACE Engineering (PACE) to provide a structural engineering analysis, sub-surface investigation and a settlement investigation technical memorandum. The investigation concluded that the building is settling because of several conditions, including; soft and loose substructure fill and overstressed structural elements. Thus, the building and the ground on which it sits are both failing. City Council was presented the findings of the report at the September 7, 2021 City Council Meeting.
The executive summary and technical memorandum summarized the various structural deficiencies and causes of settlement. The existing condition of the building could pose a life safety threat when induced with additional loading (such as snow load). PACE has determined that the building in its current state is barely adequate to support its own weight, let alone the potential for additional loading due to wind, snow and earthquake.
Based on the engineering investigation and report, replacing the building will provide the best long-term solution for the Electric Utility. City Council directed staff in September 2021 to work with an engineer/architect to explore replacement and in the interim lease a portable office to house staff for a temporary electric operations center.
Determining Replacement of Building Versus Purchasing Existing Building:
The City Engineer started working with the electric department to analyze existing and future space needs. Currently, electric staff is in two separate facilities. Electric administration is located upstairs of the Warehouse co-located with Public Works staff in the lower level, and electric operations staff is in the building with structural issues. The feasibility of constructing a new building on the existing corporation yard site presents certain challenges including:
• Costs to remediate the poor soils underlying the electric operations building. • Pole deck is currently “grandfathered” in. Poles would need to stay in place or would trigger a covered storage facility.
• Underground utilities are routed throughout the Corporation Yard area, including all 12-kV distribution lines that leave the Central Valley Substation, making additional areas unbuildable (not shown on graphic).
• The area surrounding the substation would not be available for development. While there is not an active project to expand the substation, this can be expected if there is an increase in demand for electricity.
• Wynn Price baseball field is the only 60/90 public use field in the City. The baseball field is the home field for Central Valley High School and used by Little League and various private ball clubs.
Analyzing cost is a factor. For the City to construct a facility, we are required to pay prevailing wages. In comparison, when the City constructed the City Hall and Community Center Project, the cost to construct was approximately $429 sq/ft (2017). We can assume this cost is more in 2022. The City began working with PACE on site analysis, but in the meantime the City looked at existing buildings to purchase. Besides several industrial buildings available in Redding, the only facility that would meet all the existing and future space needs would be 3570 Iron Court, 064-440-008; 064-440-009. 3570 Iron Court building contains the following: First floor office:
2736 sq. ft. Second floor office/staging area: 2813 sq. ft. warehouse/manufacturing area: 5040 sq. ft. Large Fenced yard space behind building. Zoning industrial.
Staff expects minimal tenant improvements are needed to 3570 Iron Court itself. Staff may need to extend fiber optic communications to the properties to establish the same communication capabilities necessary for electric utility operations, which will likely be performed by electric department staff. Additionally, buildings would need to be constructed on the adjacent properties for vehicle storage and possible warehousing, but specifications have not been formed at this time.
Since the business vacated, the seller placed the building on the market in February 2021 listed for $2.75 million/1.7 acre vacant land for $450,000, the seller further reduced the price to $2.3 million/$450k in July 2021. The property has been listed for sale for over a year.
Staff is in the final stages of closing out the purchase of the building and vacant land. Staff requests City Council present to the public an update on the property purchase; and authorize a supplemental appropriation.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Supplemental Appropriation - Electric Capital Reserves: $2,350,000.
