Agenda Item No. 11

CITY OF YUCAIPA

AGENDA REPORT
TO: �HHoonorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: &4 aymond A. Casey, City Manager
A/ Shane Massoud, Public Information Officer/Grant Coordinator FOR: City Council Meeting of July 11, 2022
SUBJECT: Agreement with Joe A. Gonsalves & Son
RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council review and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Joe A.

Gonsalves & Son (Gonsalves & Son) for state lobbying services in the amount not to exceed $38,500 for the period between August 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

BACKGROUND:

With the passage of the $1 trillion Infrastructure Bill, the reinstatement of "Member Requests," the non-stop policy activities in Sacramento as well as the influx of federal and state funding made available to local municipalities through state agencies through the competitive grants processes; City Staff believes that continuing to enlist the support of a state lobbyist is critical in order to leverage the firm's resources in an effort to ensure the City of Yucaipa can optimize our potential to access any future State opportunities.

A state lobbying firm is a resource that also provides access through their well -established relationships to key staff members, management and/or executive leadership throughout the various California state departments. These relationships can better serve the City of Yucaipa when engaging with these departments, committees and/or agencies on various topics such as grant funding, projects/program review, permitting, and policies as well as providing clarification on rules and regulations. A state lobbying firm also gives the City the ability to engage with both sides of the aisle more directly, as a result, creating an avenue for the City to communicate more broadly with the entire legislative body regarding bills that can either positively or negatively impact the region or the community. A State lobbying firm can also provide an opportunity for the City to have a greater sphere of influence as it relates to policy, funding possibilities, a competitive edge against other cities as well as a greater understanding of the legislative process.

City Staff is recommending that City Council review and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Joe A. Gonsalves & Son for their state lobbying services. -326-

Any changes mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and any increase or decrease in compensation, shall be incorporated by written amendments to this Agreement.

During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall provide the City as follows:
a) Our firm is extremely confident in our ability to meet the objectives and scope of work outlined in your proposal. We will work cooperatively with your management staff and City Council to ensure a high level of legislative and administrative success in Sacramento.

We utilize every asset available to us and we will personally meet with each Member of the Legislature, their Staff and the Governor's office to ensure such success. Our strategies will vary depending upon the issues as well as Sacramento's ever changing political climate. Whenever you and/or your staff requests something from our firm, we get to work on it immediately and report the actions back to you. Once we have received direction from your City and the facts regarding a specific matter, we will immediately work with your staff on the following steps:
a. Identify potential Legislators whom can support our cause b. Meet with the members of the Legislature
c. Meet with the pertinent committee consultants
d. Identify and meet with interest groups, lobbying firms and/or coalitions who can be supportive
e. Identify and meet with interest groups, lobbying firms and/or coalitions who may be in opposition. More than likely, we have a personal relationship with the opponents and or the firms that represent them and by reaching out early we find we are able to neutralize organizations that otherwise may have been opposed. f. Assuming legislation is necessary, we will meet with each Member of the various committees the legislation will be referred to in an effort to secure their support for our position prior to each hearing.
b) Our firm actively monitors, reviews, and participates in the daily activities of the Capitol and the State Agencies. We receive a copy of every bill introduced and each set of amendments. We will read each bill and the amendments and send those that we feel may be of interest to your city. In addition, as the legislative proposals develop, we provide you with fact sheets and analysis of the bills that may affect you. We provide your City a "weekly report" with the status of all bills either watched, supported and/or opposed by your City. Additionally, we actively sponsor bills on behalf of our client's as well as Agreement for Consultant Services, Joe A. Gonsalves

-329-

maintain a constant line of communication with the Members of the Legislature and their staff to ensure we are apprised of upcoming proposals. Our firm will assist in preparing written correspondence on any/all issues of importance to the City. That said, we do not unilaterally adopt positions on behalf of the City. We work very closely with the City's management team under the direction of the City Council. Whenever your City adopts a position on legislation and/or proposed regulations, we cover all bases. We meet with the Author's office, the Committee Consultants (both Democrat and Republican), Legislative Leadership, all pertinent stakeholders, and provide testimony in each Committee in order to ensure your City's position is known and ultimately supported. c) Our firm proactively identifies any/all funding opportunities for your City and will assist you in developing your project proposals for each potential grant application. We recommend the city of Yucaipa request our firm set-up a series of "action days" in Sacramento to meet with the various State Agencies overseeing the desired funding in an effort to craft a competitive proposal. Additionally, we recommend meeting with Legislator's and Legislative Committees to seek their input and support on any funding the City is seeking. Likewise, this will provide an opportunity for the City to receive information and provide input on any finding opportunities that may be available or coming available.
d) An invaluable part of achieving the City's goals and objectives is establishing a voice in Sacramento. Our firm will accomplish this by maintaining our relationships and communication with key policy makers on your behalf. We strongly recommend you request our firm to set up a series of "action days" in Sacramento to meet with legislator's, key committee members and staff, the Governor's office, and State Agencies to discuss the Cities priorities. Our firm will be present to represent the City of Yucaipa's positions on Legislation in every pertinent committee, on the floors of both houses, and in front of any state city overseeing an issue of importance to the City. e) The regulatory and administrative process are often the most time consuming and onerous part of advocacy. State Agencies within the State of California have continued to grow as the Legislature has provided many of them with new powers and responsibilities.

Moreover, recent state budget investments and legislation have resulted in unprecedented amounts of funding for various projects. Our firm will monitor, analyze, participate and influence agencies with administrative actions of interest to the City. The process for regulations and funding guidelines will be handled in the same manner as legislative matters. We will work closely with the City to establish policy direction and we will take the necessary steps to best represent the City before the State Agencies.

Mr. Raymond Casey
City Manager, City of Yucaipa
34272 Yucaipa Blvd.

Yucaipa, CA 92399
Dear Mr. Casey,
& Son
Thank you for the opportunity for Joe A. Gonsalves and Son to submit our proposal for State Legislative Advocacy Services to the City of Yucaipa. We are honored to provide the attached proposal introducing you, and the City of Yucaipa, to our firm. Our strategic approach to advocacy is custom tailored to the unique needs of each of our clients by utilizing our 46 years of experience and relationships with Legislator's, the Administration and stakeholders. Our advocacy will embrace and help preserve the City of Yucaipa's thoughtfully planned community while balancing the needs of residents, the environment, and the business community through a tailored -made approach unique to the City of Yucaipa.

By way of background, our firm was founded by my Grandfather, Joe A. Gonsalves, in 1975.

He served as a member of the California State Assembly from 1962 through 1974. Prior to that, he served as a Dairy Valley Council Member including two years as Mayor of the city of Dairy Valley, which is now the city of Cerritos,
I have enclosed a list of our present clients. As you can see, we represent a large number of cities. We believe our base of client cities has provided us the unique opportunity to work with each member of the Legislature. Recognizing the number of Legislators coming out of local governments, we have established relationships prior to them being elected to the Legislature.

In addition, I have enclosed an outline of both our legislative and grant funding accomplishments. Please note this is a partial list as it would be impossible for me to fully communicate the level of success we have enjoyed in representing our clients over the past 46 years.

Our firm charges a retainer on a monthly basis and contains a 30-day cancellation clause, as we are confident in our ability to provide your Agency with an unparalleled level of service. We respectfully propose a monthly retainer of $3,500.00 per month. The retainer is all inclusive of the services we would provide for the City. We do not charge for any additional costs unless you -341-

require us to meet outside of Sacramento.

Please note, our contract lists our scope of services in very general terms. We purposely do this to ensure that each client has the flexibility to request any assistance you may require in Sacramento, such as setting up meetings with the appropriate legislators, Governor's office or the various state departments. Should you have any changes you would like to make in the contract, please feel free to discuss those with me. Additionally, we do not assign clients to a specific lobbyist in the finn. Instead, you have access to all the firms' employees at any time.

We represent a very distinguished group of clients other than cities. For example, Long Beach Transit, providing transit services throughout the Long Beach region; and Access Services, the only paratransit service provider in Los Angeles County. In addition, we represent 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians, a leader amongst tribal governments. I strongly believe it is this blend of special people who assist us in being as effective as we are.

Our firm operates on a very personal and professional level, always working hard to accomplish our clients' goals. The late Senator, Ken Maddy, coined our firm the "Gonsalvi". When asked what he meant by the nickname, Senator Maddy responded, "you're like alumni, when you guys are working an issue you are everywhere". Still today the members of the Legislature refer to us as "the Gonsalvi".

I would recommend you contact any Legislator and ask them about our firm. In addition, we encourage you to discuss our representation with our clients. We want you to know that we would be honored to represent the City of Yucaipa as your legislative advocates. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

CONSULTANT QUALIFICATIONS
Joe A. Gonsalves & Son is a family firm that provides non -partisan legislative advocacy before the Governor, the Administration, the California State Legislature, and various State regulatory agencies. The Gonsalves family's participation in the legislative process dates back to 1962 when our founder, Joe Gonsalves, was sworn in as the first member of the California State Assembly from Portuguese ancestry. Joe served in the State Assembly until 1974 and, in 1975, he founded Joe A. Gonsalves & Son.

In 2005 a newspaper reporter asked a high-ranking legislative staff member if he/she thought future generations would join the "Gonsalvi" at which the staff member responded "you sort of hope they do, it's hard to imagine this place without a Gonsalves." The Members of the Legislature and their staff know and respect us in Sacramento and as importantly they know we respect them. Without integrity, one cannot lobby, and our integrity never waivers.

Joe A. Gonsalves & Son is located in downtown Sacramento, catty -corner from the State Capitol. We have three full-time lobbyists in our firm and each lobbyist is fully engaged in our representation of your City. Anthony Gonsalves, President and Legislative Advocate for Joe A.

Gonsalves & Son, began lobbying in 1977 after having worked for the California State Senate.

Jason Gonsalves, Secretary and Legislative Advocate for Joe A. Gonsalves & Son, joined our firm in 1998 to assist with our lobbying efforts. That gave our firm the proud distinction of being the first to have three generations of legislative advocates working on behalf of their clients, which continued until Joe passed away in July 2000. Paul Gonsalves, Legislative Advocate for Joe A. Gonsalves & Son, joined our fine in 2004 after most recently serving as a legislative aide to former Assemblymember Rudy Bermudez. Our firm continues the proud tradition of being one of the more prominent and successful firms in Sacramento. 1 have enclosed a list of our present clients. As you can see, we represent a large number of local government agencies. We believe our base of clients has provided us the unique opportunity to work with each member of the Legislature. Please note, our firm is unique in its representation of our clients, as we intentionally do not represent conflicting interests. For example, we have respectfully declined any/all opportunities to represent counties, as well as cannabis entities, as we feel their priorities would be in direct conflict with our clients. Additionally, our firm typically does not subcontract, nor do we expect to subcontract for the work outlined in your Scope of Services.

Our firm is very proud of the accomplishments we have been able to achieve, both fiscally and legislatively, for all of our clients. I have enclosed an outline of both our legislative and grant funding accomplishments. Please note, this is a partial list as it would be impossible for me to fully communicate the level of success we have enjoyed in representing our clients.

An invaluable element of our success is the ongoing communication we maintain with the management team. In representing the city of Yucaipa, our firm will work closely with your management team to prepare and achieve the City Council's priorities. Our firm maintains wonderful relationships, both personal and professional, with all members of the Legislature, which enables you to establish and maintain an ongoing presence in Sacramento.

We recommend you contact any Legislator and ask them about our firm. In addition, we encourage you to discuss our representation with our clients.

It would be a tremendous honor for our firm to represent your City, one we take very seriously.

Transparency and ethics are ofupmost importance to our firm. There has been a Gonsalves walking the halls of the State Capitol since 1962 and we will never do anything to compromise "our" reputation (the Gonsalves' or the city of Yucaipa's). -344-

KEY PERSONNEL AND QUALIFICATIONS
As previously mentioned, our firm was founded by Joe A. Gonsalves in 1975. He served as a member of the California State Assembly from 1962 through 1974. Prior to that he served as a Dairy Valley Council Member, including two years as Mayor of the city of Dairy Valley, which is now the city of Cerritos.

In January 1977, Anthony joined the firm after having worked for the California State Senate.

Shortly after Anthony joined the firm, we incorporated; and we are now known as Joe A.

Gonsalves & Son. The political process in Sacramento is truly complex. In the four plus decades Anthony has been lobbying in Sacramento, he has had the opportunity to master such complexities, which enables our firm to be successful when representing our clients on particularly difficult and controversial issues.

In December of 1998, Jason joined our firm to assist with our lobbying efforts. That gave our firm the proud distinction of being the first to have three generations of legislative advocates working on behalf of their clients, which continued until Joe passed away in July 2000. Jason has successfully represented our clients before the Legislature and various State Agencies in the areas of local government finance, utilities and commerce, water, public employees' retirement, workers' compensation, environmental regulation, telecommunications, and conflict of interest issues.

In October of 2004, Paul, joined our firm after most recently serving as a legislative aide to former Assemblymember Rudy Bermudez. Paul received a B.A. in Political Science, a minor in Public Administration, and became Certified in Grant Writing from San Diego State University.

Paul has successfully represented our clients before the Legislature and various State Agencies in the area of transportation, environmental quality, water, affordable housing, local governance and telecommunications. In addition, Paul has helped secure millions in State grant funding for our clients.

Our firm intentionally does not divide up workload. We have three full time lobbyists in our firm and each lobbyist is fully engaged in our representation of your City. As an example, when a sponsored bill is being heard in committee, we will have each of us in committee. One of us -345-

will provide testimony, one may be meeting with Members and/or staff in their offices, and one will likely be pulling a member out of committee to request their support. It is very difficult for one lobbyist to actually lobby an entire committee alone. All three of us will be available for the duration of the Scope of Work.

Our entire firm intentionally uses the same gonsalves(,,gonsalvi.ami email address. We do this in order to make sure each member of our firm is aware of the issues of importance as we coordinate our efforts. Whenever we take on an issue, all three lobbyists actively advocate on your behalf.

As you know, we are a family firm with three lobbyists, Anthony Gonsalves (father), and his two sons, Jason and Paul Gonsalves. As with most family businesses you can safely assume the organizational structure, with one significant difference, we consider each and every one of our clients to be "the boss".

SCOPE OF WORK PLAN
Our firm is extremely confident in our ability to meet the objectives and scope of work outlined in your proposal. We will work cooperatively with your management staff and City Council to ensure a high level of legislative and administrative success in Sacramento. We utilize every asset available to us and we will personally meet with each Member of the Legislature, their Staff and the Governor's office to ensure such success. Our strategies will vary depending upon the issues as well as Sacramento's ever changing political climate. Whenever you and/or your staff requests something from our firm, we get to work on it immediately and report the actions back to you.

Once we have received direction from your City and the facts regarding a specific matter, we will immediately work with your staff on the following steps:
• Identify potential Legislators whom can support our cause • Meet with the members of the Legislature
• Meet with the pertinent committee consultants
• Identify and meet with interest groups, lobbying firms and/or coalitions who can be supportive
• Identify and meet with interest groups, lobbying firms and/or coalitions who may be in opposition. More than likely, we have a personal relationship with the opponents and or the firms that represent them and by reaching out early we find we are able to neutralize organizations that otherwise may have been opposed.
• Assuming legislation is necessary, we will meet with each Member of the various committees the legislation will be referred to in an effort to secure their support for our position prior to each hearing.

We often times tell our clients: "our expertise is the legislative and regulatory process, we are not city of Yucaipa experts", which means we will continue to work with your management and technical staff in order for each of us to have a clear understanding of the many issues we expect to provide assistance on. Our firm prides itself on being upfront and honest with the Members of the Legislature, which ensures we will never do anything to embarrass ourselves or your City.

Relationships and respect matter in Sacramento and we are extremely proud of the personal and professional relationships we have with the Executive Branch, State Agencies as well as the members of the Legislature. Our long-standing presence in Sacramento enables us to successfully represent your City.

We provide your city with a weekly report, which we send out every Thursday or Friday, depending upon the legislative calendar. We tailor our weekly report to ensure it provides a -347-

specific update on the legislative proposals identified/adopted by your City Council.

Additionally, we will provide the City with a monthly written and oral report of legislative activity, as requested.

Our firm lists our scope of services in very general terms. We purposely do this to ensure that each client has the flexibility to request any assistance you may require in Sacramento, such as setting up meetings with the appropriate legislators, Governor's office or the various state departments.

Legislation:

Our firm actively monitors, reviews and participates in the daily activities of the Capitol and the State Agencies. We receive a copy of every bill introduced and each set of amendments. We will read each bill and the amendments and send those that we feel may be of interest to your city. In addition, as the legislative proposals develop, we provide you with fact sheets and analysis of the bills that may affect you. We provide your City a "weekly report" with the status of all bills either watched, supported and/or opposed by your City.

Additionally, we actively sponsor bills on behalf of our client's as well as maintain a constant line of communication with the Members of the Legislature and their staff to ensure we are apprised of upcoming proposals. Our firm will assist in preparing written correspondence on any/all issues of importance to the City. That said, we do not unilaterally adopt positions on behalf of the City. We work very closely with the City's management team under the direction of the City Council.

Whenever your City adopts a position on legislation and/or proposed regulations, we cover all bases. We meet with the Author's office, the Committee Consultants (both Democrat and Republican), Legislative Leadership, all pertinent stakeholders, and provide testimony in each Committee in order to ensure your City's position is known and ultimately supported.

Funding:

Our firm proactively identifies any/all funding opportunities for your City and will assist you in developing your project proposals for each potential grant application. We recommend the city of Yucaipa request our firm set-up a series of "action days" in Sacramento to meet with the various State Agencies overseeing the desired funding in an effort to craft a competitive proposal.

Additionally, we recommend meeting with Legislator's and Legislative Committees to seek their input and support on any funding the City is seeking. Likewise, this will provide an opportunity for the City to receive information and provide input on any finding opportunities that may be available or coming available.

Increased presence:

An invaluable part of achieving the City's goals and objectives is establishing a voice in Sacramento. Our firm will accomplish this by maintaining our relationships and communication with key policy makers on your behalf. We strongly recommend you request our firm to set up a series of "action days" in Sacramento to meet with legislator's, key committee members and staff, the Governor's office, and State Agencies to discuss the Cities priorities.

Our firm will be present to represent the City of Yucaipa's positions on Legislation in every pertinent committee, on the floors of both houses, and in front of any state city overseeing an issue of importance to the City.

Regulatory and Administrative:

The regulatory and administrative process are often the most time consuming and onerous part of advocacy. State Agencies within the State of California have continued to grow as the Legislature has provided many of them with new powers and responsibilities. Moreover, recent state budget investments and legislation have resulted in unprecedented amounts of funding for various projects.

Our firm will monitor, analyze, participate and influence agencies with administrative actions of interest to the City. The process for regulations and funding guidelines will be handled in the same manner as legislative matters. We will work closely with the City to establish policy direction and we will take the necessary steps to best represent the City before the State Agencies.

RELATED EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS
As previously mentioned, our firm intentionally does not divide up workload. We have three full time lobbyists in our firm and each lobbyist is fully engaged in the representation of our clients.

Additionally, I have attached for your review an outline of both our legislative and grant funding accomplishments. Please note, this is a partial list as it would be impossible for me to fully communicate the level of success we have enjoyed in representing our clients. The following will provide you with highlights of three experiences of a similar nature:

1. Redevelopment Dissolution: On behalf of the City of San Bernardino and many of our other client cities
Our firm has extensive experience assisting our client Cities with the redevelopment dissolution process. Many of our clients were well behind in the process and had not received a Finding of Completion (FOC). Therefore, many Cities were not eligible to secure their Long -Range Property Management Plan and the "fire sale" provisions contained in AB26x were quickly approaching.

In May 2014, we scheduled a series of meetings for the City of San Bernardino with the RDA dissolution manager's, Justyn Howard, Allen Parker and Jim Morris. These meetings provided an invaluable opportunity for the City to better understand DOF's misgivings as well as the City's sincere desire to work through the dissolution process.

We began working on the Successor Agencies (SA) installment plan with DOF in order to satisfy the City's Low- and Moderate -Income Housing Fund Due Diligence Review Payment and the Other Funds and Accounts Due Diligence Review amounts due. This was a critical step as it enabled the City's SA to proceed with a request for their FOC and on December 22, 2015 the City of San Bernardino received the much -awaited FOC.

Our attention then shifted to securing their LRPM, which was critically important for the City/SA, especially considering the number of properties owned by the former redevelopment agency. Just to mention a few, we sought direction/negotiated on the following:
o California National Guard Armory: was approved to be transferred to the City as Governmental Use
o U.S. Army Reserve: was approved to be transferred to the City as governmental use and is approved as listed on the LRPMP.
o 2 Parking lots were approved as a permissible use of Sale. The statute was amended to allow these to be retained by the City.

The prior examples are just a few examples of the many properties we had to ensure were listed appropriately on the City's LRPMP as we were up against the December 31, 2015 "fire sale" -350-

deadline. Most importantly, at 4:03p1n on December 31, 2015, with less than 8 hours to spare the city of San Bernardino's 236-page LRPMP was approved by the DOF. This was quite a relief to all who had worked so diligently through the holidays in order to ensure we did not miss the LRPMP deadline.

Dissolution of redevelopment never seems to end. Our firm has assisted our client Cities in facilitating the transfer and/or sale of countless former redevelopment agency properties. In many instances, we were able to turn the City's relationship with DOF around in order for their SA to receive its FOC and LRPMP.

2. AB 117 (Cohn. 2005): On behalf of the City of Santa Clara About 30 cities that never levied a property tax before Proposition 13 are called no property -tax cities, and about 60 cities that levied only low property tax rates are known as low property -tax cities. Counties must shift some of their own property tax revenues to these no/low cities. The payments to the no/low cities are called tax equity allocations, or TEA (AB 1197, Willie Brown, 1988).

In most counties, TEA payments to the no/low cities are equal to 7% of the property tax revenues generated within their city limits. However, an exception requires Santa Clara County to allocate no more than 55% of the TEA funding that the four no/low cities in the county would otherwise be qualified to receive (AB 1175, Willie Brown, 1989). The 55% limit was the product of an agreement, reached through intense negotiations, between Santa Clara County and the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos Hills, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga.

AB 117 repealed the 55% cap in Santa Clara County on Tax Equity Allocation (TEA) funding for the county's four no/low property tax cities starting in the 2006-07 fiscal year. The four cities contend that the limit on their TEA funding has kept them from adequately funding city services.

The cities talked extensively with Santa Clara County officials about eliminating the 55% TEA cap, which currently saves the county $4.2 million in property tax revenues. Eliminating the 55% limit allowed the four cities to receive the full 7% of the property tax revenues generated within their city limits. In exchange, the cities would provide additional services that reduce the county's costs. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved the cities' proposals.

Absent the 55% TEA cap, Santa Clara County's educational revenue augmentation fund (ERAF) would receive approximately $600,000 more in property tax revenues from the four no/low cities but about $2 million less from Santa Clara County, resulting in a net loss to ERAF of approximately $1.4 million in FY 2006-07. This amount would be compounded in future years by the property tax growth rate.

3. SB 107 (Budget, 2015): On behalf of the Cities of Eastvale, Jurupa Vallev, Menifee and Wildomar.

In 1998, the Legislature began cutting the VLF rate from 2% to 0.65% of a vehicle's value. The State General Fund backfilled the lost VLF revenues to cities and counties. As part of the 2004-05 budget agreement, the Legislature enacted the "VLF -property tax swap," which replaced the VLF backfill from the State General Fund with property tax revenues that otherwise would have gone to schools through the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF). This replacement funding is known as the "VLF adjustment amount." The State General Fund backfills schools for their lost ERAF money.

The VLF -property tax swap did not reallocate extra property tax revenues to cities that were not in existence when the State was compensating cities for the difference between the 2% and 0.65% VLF rates. As a result, new cities received less VLF funding than they would have if they had incorporated before the VLF property tax swap. Cities asked the Legislature to reallocate a portion of existing cities' remaining VLF funds to new cities to help make new city incorporations financially feasible. In response, the Legislature passed AB 1602 (Laird, Chapter 556, Statutes of 2006), which changed the allocation of VLF funds to restore the VLF revenues for city incorporations that were lost under the VLF -property tax "swap." AB 1602's formula allocated $50 per capita adjusted annually for growth.

In 2011, The Legislature passed SB 89, which re -calculated the Department of Motor Vehicle's administration fund to $25 million and increased vehicle license registration by $12 per vehicle to offset DMV's cut budget. SB 89 also eliminated VLF revenues allocated to cities and shifted those revenues to fund public safety realignment. Proposition 30 (2012) amended the Constitution to permanently dedicate a portion of the sales tax and VLF to local governments to pay for the programs realigned in 2011-12.

Four new cities incorporated after the Laird bill enacted new VLF funding allocations for new cities and before those allocations were repealed. The City of Wildomar incorporated on July 1, 2008. The City of Menifee incorporated on October 1, 2008. The City of Eastvale incorporated on October 1, 2010. The City of Jurupa Valley officially incorporated on July 1, 2011, only two days after SB 89 repealed the VLF allocation formulas for new cities. SB 89's elimination of VLF allocations created severe fiscal hardships for cities that incorporated with the expectation that they would receive VLF revenues under the formulas enacted by the 2006 Laird bill.

After 4 years of relentless work and effort on this issue, our firm was able to secure $24 million dollars in fiscal relief to these four cities through a budget trailer bill, SB 107 (Budget, 2016). -353-

In addition to the following references, I have enclosed a list of our present clients. As you can see, we represent a large number of municipal agencies. We believe our base of clients have provided us the unique opportunity to work with each member of the Legislature. Recognizing the number of Legislators coming out of local governments, we have established relationships prior to them being elected to the Legislature. I would recommend you contact any Legislator and ask them about our firm. In addition, we encourage you to discuss our representation with any of our clients.

BUDGET
In our contract we charge a retainer on a monthly basis. The retainer is all inclusive of the services we would provide for your City. We do not charge for any additional costs unless you require us to meet outside of Sacramento. Our contract lists the scope of services we provide for our clients in very general terms. We purposely do this to ensure that each client has the flexibility to request any assistance our clients may require in Sacramento such as setting up meetings with the appropriate legislators, Governor's office or the various state departments.

Should you have any changes you would like to make in the contract, please feel free to discuss them with me.

Our firm proposes a fee schedule of $3,500 per month.

Dear Jason,
As you are all too familiar, the dissolution of redevelopment hit West Covina very hard. For these past few years, we have been fortunate to have had such a great relationship with you and your family's firm.
l am convinced that if it was not for your involvement and advocacy for our community, we would not have our Finding of Completion, approval of our Long Range Property Management Plan, and a repayment schedule on the $ l 1.5 million settlement. It is very possible that West Covina could have been on the brink of bankruptcy, if you had not convince the Department of Finance that our new City Council and City Manager were committed to resolving the issues of the past.

As we move forward, it is rewarding to know that you will be at our side, as we seek repayment of our former Redevelopment Agency/City loans and to resolve the remaining ROPS issues that we need to complete. Once this is all done, we can finally focus on the legislative priorities of interest to West Covina.

On behalf of the City of West Covina, I wish to thank you and the Gonsalves Family for over 10 years of friendship and dedicated service to our community. 1 look forward to many more! Sincerely,
C 01'—�

Dear Jason,
I wanted to thank you for your excellent work concerning Roseville's meetings with the California Department of Finance (DOF) to discuss the City's 2016-17 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (BOPS) Determination. Because of your outstanding relationship with the DOF we had the opportunity to meet with the department on several occasions regarding their determination of our ROPS. Your guidance, insights and refined understanding of the most recent redevelopment dissolution "clean-up" legislation were critical to the positive outcome of the meetings, which resulted in the DOF approving the repayment of more than $7 million of redevelopment loans to the City, which they initially had disapproved.

As the City was developing its response to the DOF's initial determination, some individuals were recommending the City should bring a lawsuit against the DOF instead of attempting to resolve the concerns through the "Meet and Confer" process. However, staff chose to follow your recommendation to work with DOF and attempt to resolve the issue in a non - litigious manner. Our staff was confident in your recommendation because of the outstanding relationship staff has with you and the entire Gonsalves & Son organization.

We knew we could rely on the strong interactions you have with DOF and your tremendous understanding of the dissolution law to anticipate a successful outcome. I am very pleased that we once again followed your valuable advice, which resulted in such a noteworthy outcome for our City.
1 realize the entire Redevelopment Dissolution process has been wrought with many difficulties over the years. However, we have found the process to be less problematic than many other municipalities, in part, due to your recommendations and help with understanding the implications and outcomes of legislation and assistance with DOF. We appreciate the outstanding work you continue to provide to Roseville in understanding and effectively working with the legislature, state departments, agencies and state wide organizations.

Sincer ly,

Jason: Thanks for all your assistance this past year - you are the best lobbyist I've worked with over the years - and I look forward to our continued relationship in 2015.

Michael McKinney, the Mayor's former Chief of Staff - his last day was yesterday - was working with Brown's office; and the Mayor has not selected a replacement. So please advise Larry if he has any questions regarding this matter to feel free to contact me. Also, I'd appreciate if you'd forward him my email to you.

Again, thanks for all your assistance; and have fun tonight. Allen On Wed, 12/31/14, Jason Gonsalves wrote:

Allen,
Thank you for your responses to the email I forwarded you from Assm, Brown's office.

As we discussed last week, my understanding is the Mayor and/or his office Assm. Brown requesting her assistance with Secretary Laird and CalFire.

That said, I share your belief that politics could impede solutions and based upon the responses the Assm. Received from CalFire they do not seem interested in being part of a solution.

Assuming you are in agreement? I will thank the Assm.
for her support and let her know there is nothing more we need at this time as the City will continue working with the local stakeholders and the Court.

In addition, please know Supervisors Hagman, Gonzalez and Rutherford are all former clients and personal friends. In addition, Supervisor Rutherford's new COS, Andy Takata is a former CM, client and friend. If and when you feel we can assist you with the County please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy New Year and here's to a successful and less stressful 2015! Sincerely,
Jason

Jason — I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your advice on the land transactions we were doing in Rancho Cucamonga. We just received the second approval on a land transaction from DOF. Two down and one more to go. Thanks for listening to our issues and sharing your insights — we went for it and it was accepted. My heart is still beating fast I am so happy.

Hope you are doing well.

Hi Jason,
After a fulfilling 32-year career at Signal Hill, the time has come for me to retire. My last day will be Friday, November

1. 1 wanted to personally thank you for all you've done to help me and the City of Signal Hill. You've been a tremendous advocate for Signal Hill and your efforts to save the Library will benefit this community for decades. I wish you could have seen the joy on the faces of community members as they entered the Library for the first time at last Saturday's grand opening. You would have felt how important the Library is to the community. Please extend my gratitude to your dad and Paul. You guys are the best!
