DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department:Community, Housing, & Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Adopt Ordinance No. MC-1592 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales
Locational Restrictions) (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Ordinance No. MC-1592 approving Development Code Amendment
22-04 amending Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage
Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-
(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City of San Bernardino
Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000
feet for new alcoholic beverage sales activities from sensitive land uses (Attachment
1).
Background
An application for a convenience store with an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) off-
sale license requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning
Commission. Additionally, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) has established license concentration standards allowing for a maximum of ABC
off-sale licenses within the census tracts. If a new ABC off-sale license will cause the
subject census tract to become over concentrated with ABC off-sale licenses, the
Conditional Use Permit also requires a Public Convenience or Necessity Letter
application for consideration by the Planning Commission.
The Police Department reviews all Conditional Use Permits for ABC off-sale license
Packet Pg. 51
8

7
applications and conducts investigations based upon the information provided to report
alcohol related and other crimes that have been reported during the previous calendar
year within half-mile of the subject reporting district. The Police Department also
provides appropriate recommended Conditions of Approval to ensure that the sale of
alcohol will not be detrimental to the surrounding area.
With the continued increase in the number of convenience store applications, there
has also been an increase in the number of requests for ABC Type-20 (Off-Sale: Beer
and Wine) and ABC Type-21 (Off-Sale: General – Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits)
Licenses. There has also been an increase in the number of census tracts with over
concentrations. The overconcentration of ABC off-sale licenses creates the potential
for impairing the integrity and character of the commercial corridors and may be
detrimental to sensitive land uses within the vicinity, such as schools, parks and places
of worship.
On April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No.
2022-020, forwarding a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council recommending
approval of Development Code Amendment 22-04.
Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04, Section 19.06.030(2)(B)
Article II Section III(A) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) of the City
of San Bernardino Development Code will be amended to read as follows:
“(A) Unless otherwise exempted under subsections B – H, a new alcoholic
beverage sales activity is not permitted within 1,000 feet of any of the following
locations:
1. A public or private state licensed or accredited school.
2. A public park, playground, recreational area, or youth facility, including
a nursery school, preschool, or day-care facility.
3. A place of worship or religious institution.
4. A hospital.
5. An alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facility.
6. A county social service office.
(B) Establishments containing 10,000 square feet or more, including but not
limited to supermarkets and drugstores, which do not sell alcoholic beverages as
the principal business are exempt from the locational restrictions.
(C) Sit down restaurants whose predominant function is the service of food
and where the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages is incidental or secondary are
Packet Pg. 52
8

7
exempt from these locational restrictions. An incidental bar or lounge shall be
allowed for the convenience of dining patrons. (Establishments which are
primarily a bar or lounge or have a bar or lounge area as a principal or
independent activity are not included in this exemption.)
(D) All other establishments for on-site consumption of alcohol may be exempted
from the locational restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions
through the Conditional Use Permit review process and considering
recommendations from the Police Department.
(E) Specialty retail establishments that offer unique product lines or variety of
selection warranting a finding of public convenience or necessity are exempt from
the locational restrictions.
(F) An automobile service station convenience store that meets the location
criteria of Section 19.06.030(2)(T) may be exempted from these locational
restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the
Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from
the Police Department.
(G) A fraternal organization or veterans club may be exempted from the locational
restrictions, subject to evaluation of site-specific conditions through the
Conditional Use Permit review process and considering recommendations from
the Police Department.
(H) Temporary uses issued a Temporary License by the California Department
of Alcoholic Beverage Control and established in compliance with all City laws
and regulations are exempt from the locational restrictions.
(I) The following location conditions will be considered in the review of Conditional
Use Permit applications, and may be grounds for denial based on potential
adverse effects to the public interest, health, safety or convenience:
1. A location within a crime reporting district, or within 1,000 feet of a crime
reporting district, where the general crime rate exceeds the city-wide
general crime rate by more than 20 percent.
2. A location where the new alcoholic beverage sales activity would be
within 1,000 feet from an existing alcoholic beverage sales activity or would
lead to the grouping of more than four alcoholic beverage sales activities
within a 1,000-foot radius from the new alcoholic beverage sales activity.”
Under proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04, Section 19.06.030(2)(B)
Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit Application) of the City
of San Bernardino Development Code will also be amended to read, as follows:
“(D) The name, address, and telephone number, if available, of all existing schools,
Packet Pg. 53

parks, playgrounds or recreational areas, nonprofit youth facilities, places of
worship, hospitals, alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities or
county social service offices within 1,000 feet of the proposed alcoholic beverage
sales activity establishment.
(E) The name, address, and telephone number, if available, of all alcoholic
beverage sale activities within 1,000 feet of the proposed alcoholic beverage sales
activity establishment and within a 1,000-foot radius from the proposed alcoholic
beverage sales activity establishment.”
General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future
Accessory Dwelling Units, as follows:
Land Use Goal 2.1: Preserve and enhance San Bernardino’s unique Neighborhoods.
•Land Use Element Policy 2.1.1: Actively enforce development standards,
design guidelines, and policies to preserve and enhance the character of San
Bernardino’s neighborhoods.
•Land Use Element Policy 2.2.8: Control the location and number of community-
sensitive uses, such as alcohol sales, adult bookstores and businesses, game
arcades, and similar uses based on proximity to residences, schools, religious
facilities, and parks.
•Land Use Element Policy 2.2.9: Require Police Department review of uses that
may be characterized by high levels of noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates
of crime; providing for the conditioning or control of use to prevent adverse
impacts on adjacent residences, schools, religious facilities, and similar
“sensitive” uses.
The adoption and implementation of Development Code Amendment 22-04 is
consistent with the City’s General Plan by regulating the location of alcoholic beverage
sales activities in order to prevent potential negative impacts to the existing sensitive
land uses and the community at-large and by minimizing the over concentration
alcoholic beverage sales activities. The Police Department will continue to review
applications for new alcoholic beverage sales to investigate crimes within half-mile of
the respective reporting district.
California Environmental Quality Act
The Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in connection with
proposed Development Code Amendment 22-04 and concluded that it is exempt from
CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines due
to the fact that the proposed Development Code Amendment will not create significant
effects on the environment as it increases the locational restriction from 500 feet
to 1,000 feet for a new alcoholic beverage sales activity from sensitive land uses.

Discussion
On August 3, 2022, the Mayor and City Council conducted a public hearing and
introduced Ordinance No. MC-1592 amending Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II
Section III(A)-(I) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational Restrictions) and Section
19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Permit
Application) of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code (Title 19) to increase the
locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet for new alcoholic beverage sales
activities from sensitive land uses.
On September 21, 2022, the Mayor and City Council considered the proposed adoption
of Ordinance No. MC-1592 as part of the Consent Calendar. Councilmember Sanchez
requested to pull the item from the Consent Calendar for discussion and subsequently
moved to approve, with Councilmember Shorett seconding, the proposed
Development Code Amendment with modifications to the language related to
exemptions from the sensitive receptor distance requirements to allow small
neighborhood markets, such as “bodegitas,” to sell alcohol. A substitute motion was
made by Councilmember Reynoso and seconded by Councilmember Calvin to
approve staff’s recommendation. Both motions failed to pass with votes of 3 ayes and
3 nays and Mayor Valdivia abstaining from a tie breaking vote. Subsequently,
Councilmember Alexander moved, and Councilmember Reynoso seconded, a request
to postpone the item to the October 5, 2022, Mayor and City Council Hearing.
If adopted per staff’s recommendation, Ordinance No. MC-1592 will become effective
on November 5, 2022. If substantive changes are recommended, the item will need to
return to City Council for consideration as a Public Hearing item at a later date.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Development Code Amendment 22-04 aligns with Key Target No. 4- Economic Growth
& Development, under 4b: Update the General Plan and Development Code.
Specifically, the amendment to the Development Code for location regulations
of Alcoholic beverage sales activities proposed under Development Code Amendment
22-04 will preserve the integrity of the commercial corridors, residential neighborhoods
and sensitive land uses within the City.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund with this action.

USES; AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT
UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT.
WHEREAS, the last comprehensive update to the City's Development Code (Title 19) was
adopted in May 1991; and
WHEREAS, an application for a new convenience store with an Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) off-sale license requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning
Commission. Additionally, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has
established license concentration standards allowing for a maximum of ABC off-sale licenses
within the census tracts. If a new ABC off-sale license will cause the subject census tract to become
over concentrated with ABC off-sale licenses, the Conditional Use Permit also requires a Public
Convenience or Necessity Letter application for consideration by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, with the continued increase in the number of convenience store applications
there has also been an increase in the number of requested ABC Type-20 (Off-Sale: Beer and
Wine) and ABC Type-21 (Off-Sale: General – Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits) Licenses. There
has also been an increase in the number of census tracts with over concentrations. The over
concentration of ABC off-sale licenses creates the potential for impairing the integrity and
character of the commercial corridors and may be detrimental to sensitive land uses within the
vicinity, such as schools, parks and places of worship; and
WHEREAS, Development Code Amendment 22-04 is a City-initiated amendment to
Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section III(A) (Alcohol Beverage Sales – Locational
Restrictions) and Section 19.06.030(2)(B) Article II Section VI(D)-(E) (Alcohol Beverage Sales –

consistent with the City of San Bernardino General Plan and compliance with the City of San
Bernardino Development Code; and

ORDINANCE NO. MC-1592

WHEREAS, pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), the Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department
evaluated Development Code Amendment 22-04 and determined that it is not a project within the
meaning of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, and alternatively is exempt from CEQA under
Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, on April 12, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of San Bernardino
held a duly noticed public hearing to consider public testimony and the staff report, and adopted
Resolution 2022-030 forwarding a recommendation of approval of Development Code
Amendment 22-04 to the Mayor and City Council; and
WHEREAS, notice of the August 3, 2022 public hearing for the Mayor and City Council's
consideration of this proposed Ordinance was published in The Sun newspaper on July 23, 2022
in accordance with Development Code Chapter 19.52; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the requirements of Chapters 19.52 (Hearing and Appeals) and
Chapter 19.42 (Development Code Amendments) of the City of San Bernardino Development
Code, the Mayor and City Council have the authority to take action on Ordinance No. MC-1592.
NOW THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this
reference.
SECTION 2.Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. As the
decision-making body for the project, the Mayor and City Council has reviewed and considered
the information contained in the administrative record for Development Code Amendment 22-04.
Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written
and oral evidence presented to the Mayor and City Council, the Mayor and City Council hereby
finds, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA
Guidelines;
(2) Development Code Amendment 22-04 is not a project within the meaning of Section
15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change
in the environment, directly or indirectly. Development Code Amendment 22-04 does not
authorize any specific development within the City’s boundaries. Development Code Amendment
22-04 is exempt from CEQA because the adoption of the Development Code Amendment is
covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing
a significant effect on the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3)). The
Development Code Amendment to increase of the locational restriction from 500 feet to 1,000 feet
for a new alcoholic beverage sales activity from sensitive land uses is exempt from the
requirements of CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of the CEQA
Guidelines due to the fact that the Development Code Amendment will not create significant
Packet Pg. 58
ORDINANCE NO. MC-1592
3
effects on the environment as it consists of updates to the alcoholic beverage sales requirements;
and
(3) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the Mayor
and City Council.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS FOR DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 22-04:
Section 19.42.050 (Findings) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code requires
that Development Code Amendments meet certain findings prior to approval by the Mayor and
City Council. Accordingly, the following findings are provided in support of the approval of
Development Code Amendment 22-04:

development standards, design guidelines, and policies to
preserve and enhance the character of San Bernardino’s

review of uses that may be characterized by high levels of
noise, nighttime patronage, and/or rates of crime; providing

Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations, and Maintenance
Department:Public Works
Subject:Ordinance Amending Chapter 9.90 of the San Bernardino
Municipal Code
Recommendation
Read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No. MC-1596 of the
Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter
9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, granting citation authority to security guard
personnel for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on City property.
Background
Currently, only certain security guard personnel, limited to off duty, retired, or reserve
police officers employed by either the Economic Development Agency of the City or
by the Inland Valley Development Agency, have the authority under the San
Bernardino Municipal Code to arrest and issue notices to appear for violations of the
San Bernardino Municipal Code on specified City property, including the Carousel Mall
and the Norton Air Force Base, pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 10 of Section 9.90.010
f the San Bernardino Municipal Code.
Discussion
The Public Works Department seeks to grant citation authority to private security guard
personnel retained by the City to provide security services under contract with the City
for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on any property owned or leased
Packet Pg. 64

by the City. Extending citation authority to such personnel on all City property is
intended to alleviate an undue burden on City departments who currently issue
citations and notices to appear for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code,
including, but not limited to, the Code Enforcement Department and the Police
Department.
A draft Ordinance is included in the backup documents of this staff report, which adds
a new paragraph to Section 9.90.010 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to grant
security guard personnel the ability to issue citations and notices to appear for
violations of this Code occurring on any property owned or leased by the City.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
The proposed action aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and
Unified Community. The proposed action would maximize existing resources by
granting security guard personnel the authority to enforce provisions of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code on all City property.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact related to this proposed action.
Conclusion
Read by title only, waive further reading, and introduce Ordinance No. MC-1596 of the
Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter
9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, granting citation authority to security guard
personnel for violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code on City property.

PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department:Community, Housing, & Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Appeal 22-02 for Development Permit Type-P 20-08
(Ward 4)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2022-206 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, denying Appeal 22-02, thereby upholding the Planning
Commission’s finding the project categorically exempt under the California
Environmental Quality Act and approval of Development Permit Type-P 20-08 allowing
the development and establishment of a twenty-seven (27) unit multi-family residential
complex on a parcel containing approximately 2.38 acres, located on the west side of
N. Sterling Avenue (APN: 0272-372-59), between E. Marshall Boulevard and E.
Lynwood Drive within the Residential Medium (RM) zone (Attachment 1).
Background
On July 12, 2022, Staff presented a recommendation of approval to the Planning
Commission for adoption of Resolution No. 2022-038 of the Planning Commission of
the City of San Bernardino, California, approving Development Permit Type-P 20-08
allowing the development and establishment of a twenty-seven (27) unit multi-family
residential complex on a parcel containing approximately 2.38 acres located on the
west side of N. Sterling Avenue (APN: 0272-372-59), between E. Marshall Boulevard
and E. Lynwood Drive within the Residential Medium (RM) zone. The recommendation
of Staff was based on the fact that the design of the multi-family residential
development met the requirements of the City of San Bernardino Development Code
as established in the findings of fact and subject to the recommended Conditions of
Approval (Attachment 3).
During the public hearing, the Planning Commission received a presentation from Staff
Packet Pg. 69
Page 2

and listened to public testimony including that of Neil Derry (the Appellant). After public
testimony and deliberation, the Planning Commission voted to approve the project
based on the findings of fact and subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval.
The motion to approve was made Commissioner Sanchez and seconded by
Commissioner Lopez. The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Guerrero, Lopez, Sanchez, and Lewis
Nays: Armstead, Quiel, and Flores
Abstain: None
Absent: Morales
Discussion
Appeal
On July 27, 2022, an application for appeal (Appeal 22-02) was filed by Neil Derry to
appeal the Planning Commission’s approval of Development Permit Type-P 20-08
(Attachment 4), pursuant to Section 19.52.100 (Filing of Appeals) of the City of San
Bernardino Development Code. The specific grounds for the appeal, as provided, are
as follows:
1. The proposed 27-unit multi-family residential development project is inconsistent
with the existing surrounding multi-family “ALL privately-owned” residential
developments located to the west, south, and east of the proposed project site.
Staff Clarification: The proposal considered by the Planning Commission was for
the development of a 27-unit multi-family residential development located within
the Residential Medium (RM) Zone. The recommendation for approval of the
project was based on the fact that the design of the multi-family residential
development met the requirements of the Development Code as established in the
Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval.
The proposed land use is considered as permitted “by-right” within the Residential
Medium (RM) zone. Accordingly, the proposed project is subject only to a
Development Permit for entitlement review of the location, design, configuration,
and impact of the proposed multi-family residential development along with the
associated site improvements to the Development Code Standards and Design
Guidelines. During the public hearing, the Planning Commission received a public
testimony and letters from The Board of Directors of the Pine Ridge Villas H.O.A.,
Lynda Holden resident of Pine Ridge Villas, and Neiland K. Derry (the Appellant)
in which substantially the same, or similar, comments were made expressing this
ground for appeal. Neither the City’s Municipal Code nor the City’s Standard
Conditions of Approval require a development project to be for ownership only.
2. The proposed 27-unit multi-family residential development is not compatible with
the original “Pine Ridge Villas” condominium development and violates the
Owner’s Certificate of Parcel Map No. 6209, the reservation of reciprocal
Packet Pg. 70
Page 3
8

7
easements of use between Parcel 1 (Pine Ridge Villas condominium development)
and Parcel 2 (Proposed 27-unit multi-family residential development) “including
enjoyment, access, ingress and egress, and drainage” as the proposed project
walls off and bifurcates Parcel 2 from Parcel 1, including current shared uses of
Parcel 2 for ingress, egress, parking, and waste disposal and recycling (enjoyment
of access).
Staff Clarification: The original Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions Establishing a Plan of Condominium Ownership for Pine Ridge Villas
Homeowners Association, (Document No. 80-222066) recorded in Official Records
on October 1, 1980 (not attached) includes language in Section 17 (Annexation of
Additional Property) that states “the real property described in Exhibit “B” or any
portion thereof may be annexed to this Declaration upon written election of the
declarant (or by the successors in title to such real property) made at any time and
from time to time within three (3) years following the original issuance of a final
subdivision public report by the California Commissioner of Real Estate for the first
phase of the development.”
The property referenced as Exhibit “B” in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions,
and Restrictions is described as Parcel 2 of Parcel Map 6209 in the City of San
Bernardino, County of San Bernardino, State of California, as per Map Recorded
in Book 58, Page 9, of Maps, in the Office of the County Recorder of said County.
The property referred to as Parcel 2 in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions,
and Restrictions is the Subject Property considered under Development Permit
Type-P 20-08. This property has not been annexed to the aforementioned
Declaration and therefore is not a part of the Pine Ridge Villas, nor subject to the
Pine Ridge Villas Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. As part
of the proposed project the applicant has honored the reciprocal access under
Parcel Map 6209 for the shared private drive aisle by reserving a 13-foot-wide
reciprocal access along the west and south sides of the subject property for the
benefit of the residents of the Pine Ridge Villas (Parcel 1). Additionally, the
proposed project is consistent with the policies of the City’s General Plan and
complies with the Development Standards of the City of San Bernardino
Development Code for the Residential Medium (RM) zone.
3. The proposed project design has not demonstrated how the multi-family
development will not isolate existing access, displace planned and existing
parking, eliminate three (3) solid waste receptacles and access to two (2) fire
hydrants for the Pine Ridge Villas condominium development.
Packet Pg. 71
Page 4

Staff Clarification:
a) Isolation of existing access. The project site has been designed to provide
direct ingress/egress access from a single forty-five (45’) foot wide driveway
located along N. Sterling Avenue. The internal site circulation has been
designed to adequately accommodate on-site vehicular, emergency and
trash/refuse service vehicle circulation, and access to the required off-street
parking areas (garages and guest parking areas). A secondary twenty-six (26’)
foot wide driveway for emergency vehicle access only is proposed along the
south property line. As stated previously, the applicant has honored the
reciprocal access under Parcel Map 6209 for the shared private drive aisle by
reserving a 13-foot-wide access as reciprocal access at the west and south
sides of the subject property (Parcel 2) for the benefit of the residents of the
Pine Ridge Villas (Parcel 1). The additional 13-foot access will become a paved
area to provide the residents of the adjacent Pine Ridge Villas the benefit of a
fully improved 26-foot-wide access to Sterling Avenue.
b) Displacement of planned and existing parking for the existing condominium
development. Areas along the western and southern property lines of the
unimproved project site are currently being used by the residents of the
adjacent Pine Ridge Villas for vehicle parking. Although this activity is currently
trespassing on the project site, the applicant is honoring the reciprocal access
for the shared private drive aisle under Parcel Map 6209 by reserving and
improving a 13-foot-wide expansion of the drive aisles for reciprocal access at
the west and south sides of the subject property. This proposed widening
benefits the residents of the Pine Ridge Villas and provides limited secondary
emergency access to the proposed development.
c) Elimination of existing waste receptacles. As with the current trespassing
parking on the project site, the residents of the adjacent Pine Ridge Villas also
currently use areas along the western and southern property lines of the
unimproved project site for waste receptacle storage and service provided by
Burrtec. The applicant’s representative for the proposed multi-family residential
development contacted Burrtec on August 9, 2022, to inquire whether the
proposed project would interfere with the Pine Ridge Villas’ trash services.
Burrtec indicated that the proposed project would not interfere with the Pine
Ridge Villas trash services. Furthermore, City Staff also contacted Burrtec to
inquire if the existing waste receptacles that are currently located on the
proposed project site can be relocated and if adequate trash services can still
be provided to the Pine Ridge Villas condominium development. Burrtec
indicated that they met with a representative of the Pine Ridge Villas
condominium development and suggested alternative locations to store the
existing waste receptacles and/or construct a new refuse enclosure so that
adequate trash services can continue to be provided for the Pine Ridge Villas
condominium development.

d) Elimination of access to existing Fire Hydrants. The San Bernardino County Fire
Department has reviewed the proposed project and recommended approval with
conditions which are incorporated into the adopted Resolution No. 2022-038 of
the Planning Commission. As part of the proposed project, the applicant will be
relocating the two (2) existing fire hydrants that are currently located within the
subject property to be located outside of the proposed perimeter walls in order
to continue providing the Pine Ridge Villas condominium development full
access to the existing two (2) fire hydrants. Additionally, the proposed project
will provide two (2) new additional fire hydrants within the project site for fire
prevention and suppression (Attachment 5).
Applicant Response:
On September 13, 2022, the applicant for Development Permit Type-P 20-08
submitted a letter, dated September 12, 2022, in response to the appellants letter
(Attachment 6).
Project Description
Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 19.44 (Administrative and Development
Permits) and Section 19.04.020 (Permitted, Development Permitted and Conditionally
Permitted Uses) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code, the applicant is
requesting the approval of Development Permit Type-P 20-08 to allow the
development and establishment of a twenty-seven (27) unit multi-family residential
complex on a parcel containing approximately 2.38 acres located on the west side of
N. Sterling Avenue (APN: 0272-372-59), between E. Marshall Boulevard and E.
Lynwood Drive within the Residential Medium (RM) zone.

Analysis
The proposed twenty-seven (27) unit two-story multiple-family residential development
is considered as a “Multi-Family Dwellings” residential land use pursuant to Table
04.01 (Permitted, Development Permitted, and Conditionally Permitted Uses) of the
City of San Bernardino Development Code. Under the “Multi-Family” residential
classification the land use is considered permitted “by-right” within the Residential
Medium (RM) zone. Accordingly, the project is subject only to a Development Permit
for entitlement review for the development of the proposed multi-family residential
complex and associated site improvements. Pursuant to Section 19.44.030
(Applicability and Project Review) of the San Bernardino Development Code,
residential projects of 12 or more units that directly abut existing residential uses within
a residential zone are permitted uses, subject to the approval of a Development Permit
Type-P by the Planning Commission. The proposed Residential Medium (RM) zone
allows for a density of twelve (12) residential dwellings per acre. The subject property
containing approximately 2.38 acres would allow up to 28 residential dwellings. Thus,
the proposed twenty-seven (27) unit two-story multiple-family residential development
meets the maximum allowed density for the property.
Packet Pg. 74

Based off a review of the proposal it is the recommendation of Staff that the project is
consistent with the policies of the City’s General Plan and complies with the
Development Standards of the City of San Bernardino Development Code for the
Residential Medium (RM) zone.
Architecture
The proposed twenty-seven (27) unit two-story multiple-family residential unit
development consists of five (5) detached two-story buildings on an
undeveloped/underutilized rectangular vacant parcel. The proposed multiple-family
residential development has integrated a variety of materials with a distinctive
contemporary Craftsman architectural design to maintain compatibility with the
surrounding developments. The buildings incorporate a combination hip roof with a
cross gable design comprised of roof tiles in an earth tone color. The under eaves of
the gable roofs will feature a combination of Hardie backer panels with a mounded
sand finish and trim to emulate a timber frame truss design, vertical and horizontal
plank lap siding, and shingle siding with a staggered edge panel design throughout the
various building elevations. The proposed building walls exterior design uses a
combination of off-white stucco in a sand finish and horizontal lap board siding in a
light brown color and stone veneer along the base of the building elevations to further
break up the facades. The integrated two (2) car garages will feature sectional metal
panel roll-up doors with square windows on the upper panel to allow natural lighting
into the interior garage space areas. The private balconies will feature decorative
wrought-iron railing and decorative exposed beams underneath the balconies that are
stucco treated and painted in a dark brown color.
Floor Plan
The proposed twenty-seven (27) units within this multiple-family residential
development are two stories with a single floor plan type that consists of three (3)
bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms having a total floor living area of approximately 1,119
square feet with attached two (2) car garages approximately 441 square feet. Each
unit will feature a front main entry porch, a private outdoor yard area, and two balconies
on the second-floor level. Additionally, the proposed multiple-family residential
development will feature a single- story common recreation building that will house an
indoor recreational floor area, vestibule, leasing office, restrooms, and a
mechanical/electric room.
Access/Site Design/Traffic
The project site has direct ingress/egress access from a single forty-five (45’) foot wide
driveway located along N. Sterling Avenue. The internal site circulation has been
designed to adequately accommodate on-site vehicular, emergency and trash/refuse
service vehicle circulation, and access to the required off-street parking areas (garages
and guest parking areas). A secondary twenty-six (26’) foot wide driveway for
emergency vehicle access only is proposed along the south property line. Designated
“paths of travel” have also been provided to ensure pedestrian safety.
Packet Pg. 75
Page 8

The City’s Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the traffic scoping approval form
prepared for the proposed project and determined, based on the number of trips
generated by the project, there will be no significant impacts on the surrounding
roadways or intersections since the project will generate less than 50 trips am/pm peak.
Off-Street Parking
Pursuant to Section 19.24.040 (Parking Standards – Number of Parking Spaces
Required), based on the number of bedrooms provided for the twenty-seven (27)
residential units, the proposed multiple-family residential development will require a
total of sixty-eight (68) covered off-street standard parking spaces, and six (6) guest
parking spaces. Each of the twenty-seven (27) residential units, as designed, will
include an attached two (2) car garage for a total of fifty-four (54) standard off-street
parking spaces, fourteen (14) covered carport spaces, six (6) guest parking spaces,
and one (1) handicapped parking space, thereby exceeding the off-street parking
requirement for the proposed multiple-family residential development.
Landscaping/Outdoor Living Space
The proposed project will provide all new landscaping along the project site frontage,
within the parking lot areas, common outdoor open spaces and required setback areas.
The landscaping has been designed for this new community to provide the tenants with
two separate enjoyable common outdoor open space areas that will feature a ½
basketball court, barbecue areas, concrete picnic tables and seating areas, and tot-lot
playground areas. The proposed project provides approximately 21,256 square feet of
common outdoor open space areas throughout the development, with additional
private outdoor open space for each residential unit that range in size from
approximately 299 square feet up to 431 square feet. The total common and private
open space area is approximately 30,857 square feet. Additionally, as conditioned, a
new six (6’) foot high decorative split-face block wall with a stone cap will be provided
along the entire west, north and south property lines behind the twenty-five (25’) foot
required front setback area to shield the proposed project from the adjacent multiple-
family residential uses. Furthermore, the proposed landscaping areas, as conditioned,
will provide trees in a mixture of 15-gallon, 24-inch box, mature specimen trees in a
36-inch box size up to 48- inch box size, and the plants that will be 5-gallon minimum
size.
General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future
development within the City, including the following:
•General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.2.1: Ensure compatibility between land
uses and quality design through adherence to standards and regulations in the
Development Code and policies and guidelines in the Community Design
Element.

•General Plan Land Use Element Goal 2.4: Enhance the quality of life and
economic vitality in San Bernardino by strategic in-fill of new development and
revitalization of existing development.
•General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.5.4: Require that all new structures
achieve a high level of architectural design and provide a careful attention to
detail.
•General Plan Community Design Element Goal 5.7: Develop attractive and safe
commercial, office, and industrial projects that are creatively designed and

designed with quality architectural treatments and a varied roof lines that provide
additional architectural interest. The proposed development of the site will be done in
a manner that will enhance the physical and visual qualities of the subject property with
significant landscaping, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of the surrounding
neighborhood. Additionally, through this proposal the existing property will be
transformed from an underutilized property into a development that meets the City’s
housing needs, land use and community design goals, while satisfying the
Development Code requirements, and will be adequately regulated through the
Conditions of Approval in order to minimize potential impacts.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
In accordance with Section 15060 (Preliminary Review) of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the Planning Division conducted an environmental evaluation in
connection with proposed Development Permit Type-P 20-08 and concluded that the
proposed project is exempt under Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of
CEQA Guidelines (Attachment 3), due to the fact that: (a) the project is consistent with
the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well
as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; (b) the proposed development
occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five (5) acres substantially
surrounded by urban uses; (c) the project site has no value as habitat for endangered,
rare or threatened species; (d) approval of the project would not result in any significant
effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and, (e) the site can be
adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Furthermore, Conditions
of Approval will be imposed to alleviate potential impacts; and there are no additional
potential significant environmental impacts that may result from the proposed
development and establishment of the proposed project.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Development Permit Type-P 20-08 aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improve Quality of

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Bernardino
290 North D Street
San Bernardino, CA 92401
Subject: Development Permit Type P 20-08 (APN 0272-372-59), Applicant’s
Responses to Appeal filed by Mr. Neil Perry of Pine Ridge Villas
Condominium
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
I am writing in connection with the Appeal Application filed by Neil Derry (“Mr. Derry”) in
connection with the Planning Commission’s approval of my proposed development at 3164
Sterling Avenue (the “Subject Property”), and in particular, the Planning Commission’s Resolution
No. 2022-038-PC dated July 12, 2022 whereby the Planning Commission approved Development
Permit Type-P 20-08 (the “Resolution”) for the development of the Subject Property.
To provide some factual background, on July 12, 2022, the Planning Commission, by way of a 4-
3 vote, passed the Resolution approving the Development Permit Type-P 20-08 for a 27-unit
multi-family residential complex on approximately 2.38 acres of vacant land (the “Project”).
Subsequently, on July 27, 2022, Mr. Derry, an owner of a residential condominium in the
neighboring Pine Ridge Villas, submitted an Appeal Application of the Resolution. As a result, this
matter is now in the hands of the City Council, and we are respectfully requesting that the City
Council deny Mr. Derry’s Appeal Application and uphold the Resolution of the Planning
Commission. City Staff is also continuing to recommend this Project for approval.
Before we respond to each of Mr. Derry’s contentions in his Appeal Application, it is worth
pointing out that the proposed Project will be an aesthetically pleasing addition to the
surrounding neighborhood, and we hope that this Project will inspire additional development in
the area. There are no findings to the effect that the proposed Project would have an adverse
impact on public, health and safety. In addition, this Project will be gated, secured, and will have
onsite property management 24/7.
As the Applicant, I have read the several reasons upon which Mr. Derry bases his Appeal. I would
like to take this opportunity to respond to the issues he raises therein as follows:
Appeal Contention No. 1: Mr. Derry incorrectly asserts that the Subject Property is part of the
Pine Ridge Villas Condominium Development. Specifically, Mr. Derry states that “the 2.38 acre
lot has always been part of the Pine Ridge Villas Condominium development, . . . and remains so
today.” Mr. Derry goes on to state that the Property “was approved as part of our condominium
Packet Pg. 194
2
development in the 1970’s to share the parking, access, services, community amenities and
financial obligations of the entire condominium project.”
Response: With all due respect, Mr. Derry is wrong. The original developer in the 1970’s, Gilano
Development Corporation, Inc. (the “Developer”), divided the proposed Pine Ridge Villas into two
phases (Parcel Map 6209, Parcels 1 and 2). The Developer built the first phase, Parcel 1 (Tract
10235), which is where Mr. Derry resides. The Developer never constructed the contemplated
second phase, Parcel 2 (Tract 10597), which is now the Subject Property in question, and which
has stayed vacant since the first phase was completed over 40 years ago. According to the
operative CC&Rs for Pine Ridge Villas, recorded on October 1, 1980 (Doc. No. 80-222066), the
first paragraph states, in part, that “Declarant hereby revokes all declarations heretobefore
executed and recorded and declares that the herein declaration supersedes all such prior
declarations.” As such, the prior CC&Rs recorded on January 18, 1980 (Doc. No. 80-015959) are
of no legal force or effect. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 are operative pages from the CC&Rs.
The operative CC&Rs (Doc. No. 80-222066) make it clear that the Property is absolutely not part
of Pine Ridge Villas, nor is the Property subject to the Pine Ridge Villas’ CC&Rs. Section 17 of the
CC&Rs is titled “Annexation of Additional Property,” and Section 17.1 is titled (and sets forth the)
“Procedure for Annexation” as follows:
“The real property described in Exhibit B [i.e., the Subject Property] or any
portion thereof may be annexed to this Declaration upon the written
election of the declarant (or by the successors in title to such real property)
made at any time and from time to time within three (3) years following
the original issues of a final subdivision public report by the California
Commissioner of Real Estate for the first phase of the development. Such
election shall be made by the recording of a supplement to this declaration
(the “Supplement”). . . . Upon filing the Supplement in accordance with
the provisions of this declaration, the real property described in the
Supplemental shall be subject to the provisions of this declaration, and to
the rights and powers of the Association pursuant to the terms of this
declaration, the articles and the by-laws, and thereafter all of the owners
of condominiums constituting a portion of said annexed real property shall
automatically be members of the Association.”
See Exhibit 1.
What Mr. Derry fails to acknowledge in his appeal is that the Subject Property was never annexed
into the Pine Ridge Villas, as it has simply sat vacant for the past 40-plus years. As such,
Pine Ridge Villas is a stand-alone multi-family project with its own HOA, guest parking, and
common open space and amenities. The Subject Property has nothing to do with Pine Ridge
Villas, and the residents of Pine Ridge Villas have no rights to do anything on the Subject Property.
Attached as Exhibit 2 are photos of how the Subject Property currently looks. Attached as Exhibit
3 are copies renderings of the proposed Project.
Packet Pg. 195
3
We acquired the Subject Property to develop a similar type of multi-family project, only a
modern-day version, which we believe will greatly enhance the surrounding area. The proposed
Project is also a stand-alone project. Although not individually owned condominiums, the
Project, once completed, will be managed by a professional property management company and
one of the units will be dedicated as housing for an onsite property manager who will reside at
the Subject Property full-time. Additionally, the proposed Project will have its own guest parking,
and common open space and amenities.
Of equal importance, we have honored the reciprocal access under Parcel Map 6209 for the
shared private drive aisle by reserving 13-foot wide access as reciprocal access at the west and
south sides of the parcel 2 for the benefit of the residents of the Pine Ridge Villas. In short, the
dirt area where Pine Ridge residents current park will become an additional paved road 13-feet
in width. When the Project is completed, the residents of Pine Ridge Villas will actually have a
fully improved 26-foot wide access to Sterling Avene, and their north-south driveway will also
double in width by virtue of the improvements that we will have completed. In short, the Project
will enhance and increase the size of the common area of Pine Ridge Villas.
Appeal Contention No. 2: Mr. Derry states that “[t]he parcel in question is completely enclosed
within the existing and original improvements built by the original developer as part of the
complex, including water and sewer utilities, perimeter walls and fencing waste disposal facility,
fire suppression, and road infrastructure.”
Response: The Planning Commission approved the proposed Project and imposed conditions of
approval requiring the construction of project-related utilities. Specifically, there are conditions
related to drainage and flood control, grading and landscaping, onsite utilities, street
improvements and dedications, traffic requirements, and intergrade waste requirements. For
example, as part of the Project we will have to construct a new curb, gutter, and sidewalk with
ADA compliance and replace the two existing driveways with new driveways according to the
present City's public works standards along Sterling Avenue. The proposed Project must provide
and construct its own water, sewer, and drainage utilities under the current City's and East Valley
Water District's standards. The existing fencing along Sterling Ave is in bad condition and not
aesthetically pleasing. The proposed Project will provide an open fencing design with wrought
iron and decorative pilasters. Burrtec Waste has reviewed and recommended approval of the
proposed Project since the development plans show the construction of two trash enclosure
areas for centralized pick-up. The San Bernadino County Fire Department has reviewed and
recommended approval of the proposed Project with conditions, all of which are acceptable to
the Applicant.
Appeal Contention No. 3: Mr. Derry states that “[t]he proposed project specifically violates the
Owner’s Certificate of Parcel Map No. 6209, the reservation of reciprocal easements of use
between Parcel 1 (Pine Ridge Villas Condominium Project) and Parcel 2 (proposed 27-unit
apartment project) ‘including enjoyment, access, ingress, and egress and drainage’ as the
proposed project walls off and bifurcates parcel 2 from parcel 1, including current shared uses of
parcel 2 for ingress, egress, parking and waste disposal and recycling (enjoyment and access).”
Packet Pg. 196

Response: The Applicant honored the reciprocal access under Parcel Map 6209 for the shared
private drive aisle by reserving 13-foot wide access as reciprocal access at the west and south
sides of the Parcel 2 for the benefit of Parcel 1 (the Pine Ridge Villas). The proposed Project will
improve the 26-foot wide access to Sterling Avenue by paving it for the enjoyment and access of
all residents of the Pine Ridge Villas. Instead of a solid block wall, the Applicant uses open fencing
with wrought iron and decorative pilasters for the proposed Project, thus creating openness for
the benefit of the community as a whole.
Appeal Contention No. 4: Mr. Derry claims that the proposed Project would take away the three
dumpsters and would eliminate parking of the residents of the Pine Ridge Villas and block
emergency access to Pine Ridge Villas.
Response: Attached as Exhibit 4 is a picture of the three dumpsters in question, which have been
illegally placed on the Subject Property, presumably by the Pine Ridge Villas. This is the private
property of the Applicant, and Pine Ridge Villas has no right to use the Subject Property as its
loading place for Pine Ridge Village trash service. But in any event, and as stated in the responses
above (Point 3), the proposed Project will include the construction of a fully improved 26-foot
wide access to Sterling Avenue for the enjoyment and access of all Pine Ridge Villas residents.
With all due respect to Mr. Derry, the Pine Ridge Villas Association does not have the legal right
to use Parcel 2 as a parking lot or a trash dumping site. The Pine Ridge Villas Association can
contact Burrtec regarding the appropriate locations within their community for the placement of
trash receptacles, and the additional 13 feet of paved road that the Applicant is providing to the
Pine Ridge Villas should more than suffice for both the placement of trash receptacles and
emergency access. In fact, the Applicant’s architectural firm, Andresen Architecture, Inc.,
recently contacted Burrtec to inquire whether the proposed Project would interfere with the Pine
Ridge Villas trash service. Burrtec responded that the proposed Project “would not interfere with
the neighbor’s services.” A copy of this email exchange with Burrtec is attached hereto as Exhibit
5.
Appeal Contention No. 5: Mr. Derry states that “[t]he proposed development would also
eliminate access to two fire hydrants that are currently 27 feet from the centerline and are
proposed to be fenced off.”
Response: San Bernardino County Fire Department has reviewed the proposed Project and
recommended approval with conditions, which conditions have already been made part of the
Resolution. The Applicant is not removing any of the existing two fire hydrants and San
Bernardino County Fire Department has (and will continue to have) full access to use the two
existing fire hydrants for Pine Ridge Villas. The San Bernardino County Fire Department requires
the Applicant to construct two new fire hydrants within the project site for fire prevention and
suppression. This will be constructed as part of the Project.
Appeal Contention No. 6: Mr. Derry disagrees with the Planning Department in its analysis that
the proposed project is a consistent use with the surrounding "multi-family projects.” In taking
this position, Mr. Derry states that “[t]he residential developments directly adjacent to this
Packet Pg. 197
5
project are ALL privately-owend, individual units, and parts {sic} of Home Owner Associations run
by the residents.”
Response: Mr. Derry’s contention is simply not true. The Terrace Village Apartments – which are
all residential rental apartments – are located immediately to the west and the north of the Pine
Ridge Villas. The Terrace Village apartments essentially surround the Pine Ridge Villas on two of
four sides, with Lynwood Drive to the south, and then the Subject Property immediately to the
east of the Pine Ridge Villas. In any event, the proposed Project consists of 27 two-story units
with an attached 2-car garage. The proposed Project requires on-site improvements such as
landscaping, common open space, a recreation room, guest parking, trash enclosure areas,
decorative fencing, and project access entry features. The architectural design of the two-story
townhouse product features contemporary Craftsman style and details. The proposed Project is
consistent with the General Plan land use goals because it offers additional housing in the area,
revitalizes vacant properties, and contributes to the neighborhood with its attractive design. The
proposed Project is consistent with the City's Housing Element and contributes to the City's
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The proposed Project is consistent with the RM
(Residential Medium) Zone and complies with all applicable Development Code standards
regarding density, setbacks, building height, parking, and landscaping. The Applicant concurs
with the Finding of Facts in the Planning Commission’s Resolution.
Appeal Contention No. 7: Contrary to the findings of the Planning Department and the City’s
Traffic Engineering Division, Mr. Derry contends that an access point off of Sterling Avenue
creates “an unsafe condition for both the residents of the proposed project as well as hundreds
of commuters that use Sterline Avenue on a daily basis.”
Response: Today, there are two existing driveways for access, one shared access with Pine Ridge
Villas (adjacent to Parcel 1) and one solely for the proposed Project (the Subject Property). The
primary entry access into the proposed Project is 45 feet wide and has sufficient turnaround
meeting the City’s standards and San Bernardino County Fire Department’s requirements.
According to the Planning Division’s Staff Report dated July 12, 2022, the City’s Traffic
Engineering Division stated that there will be no significant impacts on surrounding roadways or
intersections since the proposed Project will generate less than 50 trips for am/pm peak. As such,
Mr. Derry’s findings are wholly unfounded and appear to be mere speculation.
Appeal Contention No. 8: Mr. Derry requests that the proposed Project be conditioned as
privately owned individual units.
Response: Mr. Derry is asking the City Council to take a position that is contrary to the law. A
condominium unit is privately owned, but the owner can also use it as a rental unit. California
Assembly Bill 3182 amended Civil Code Section 4740 and added a new section 4741, which
prohibits any Common Interest Developments (Condominiums) from prohibiting owners in the
rental or lease of the owner’s property. As such, Mr. Derry’s request is not legally viable. Mr.
Derry also ignores the fact that a number of the privately owned condominiums within the Pine
Ridge Villas are likely rented out by their owners to tenants. Is Mr. Derry asking the City to

I am reaching out regarding a project located at 3164 N. Sterling Ave., San Bernardino, CA. We received approval from City of San Bernardino to do a 27 Unit Apartment building. We had a couple of questions that we need to provide to the City of San Bernardino regarding the neighbors’ concerns who live in the Pine Ridge Villas regarding trash collection.
• We want to confirm if our project will cause any disruption in trash collection
in the area?
• Does Pine Ridge Villas located at 1974 E. Lynwood Dr., San Bernardino have
trash enclosures on their property? If they have do not have a Trash
Enclosure would the property be able to put a Trash Enclosure on the
property if they request one?
• Will the project located at 3164 N. Sterling Ave., affect the trash pickup in the
Pine Ridge Villa community?

4) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-219 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San
Bernardino, California Declaring the Results of the Consolidated Special Elections
within Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Highland/Medical); and
5) Introduce, read by title only and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1599 of
the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, Acting as the
Legislative Body of Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Highland/Medical),
Authorizing the Levy of Special Taxes in such Community Facilities District.
Background
The City has received a petition from PI Properties, LLC (the “Owner”), the owner of
APN No. 0143-191-59-0000 (the “Property”) requesting the formation of the proposed
community facilities district (the “CFD”), encompassing the Property, to finance:
(a) Acquisition, design, construction of local and regional circulation systems,
storm drain improvements, parkland and open space, and sewer and water
improvement (the “Facilities”); and
(b) The incidental expenses proposed to be incurred are: (i) the cost of planning
and designing the public facilities and the cost of environmental evaluations thereof,
(ii) all costs associated with the formation of the proposed community facilities
district, the issuance of the bonds thereof, the determination of the amount of and
collection of special taxes, the payment of special taxes, and costs otherwise
incurred in order to carry out the authorized purposes of the proposed community
facilities district, and (iii) any other expenses incidental to the construction,
completion, and inspection of the public Facilities.
On July 20, 2022, this City Council approved Resolution Nos. 2022-141 and 2022-
142, which initiated the formation of the CFD, approved the boundaries of the
proposed CFD, described the facilities proposed to be financed, proposed a rate and
method of apportionment of special taxes and declared the necessity to issue bonds
secured by such special tax levy to finance the Facilities. Additionally, the resolutions
set forth a public hearing to be held on September 7, 2022.
Due to cancellation of the September 7, 2022, meeting, on August 17, 2022, this City
Council approved Resolution Nos. 2022-186 and 2022-187 to amend the date of the
public hearing to October 5, 2022.
Discussion
On October 5, 2022, this City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the
formation of the proposed CFD and the issuance of bonded indebtedness therein. If a
majority of the landowners within the boundaries of the proposed CFD do not register
Packet Pg. 242

written or oral protest, then the City Council may consider adopting the following
resolutions:
The Resolution of Formation specifies that special taxes will be levied on all parcels
of taxable property within the CFD to pay principal of and interest on the bonds of the
CFD which will be issued to finance the Facilities. The amounts of the special taxes
that may be levied for these purposes are set forth in Exhibit A to the Resolution of
Formation. The Resolution of Formation also approves the form of Funding
Agreement which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the City will
acquire improvements constructed by the developer, Warmington Residential
California, Inc. (the “Developer”).
The purpose of the Funding Agreement is to provide for the levy of Special Taxes
and the issuance and sale of the Bonds of the District secured by the Special Taxes
to finance the design, planning, engineering, financing, installation, and construction
of the Public Facilities and expenses incidental thereto.
The Resolution Determining Necessity authorizes the CFD to incur a bonded
indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 for the
purpose of financing the Facilities as described above and calls a special election for
October 5, 2022, on the proposition of the CFD incurring a bonded indebtedness.
The Resolution Calling the Special Election schedules the elections for the CFD with
respect to the annual levy of special taxes to pay principal of and interest on bonds of
the CFD, with respect to the CFD incurring a bonded indebtedness, and with respect
to establishing an annual appropriations limit of $5,000,000.
The City Clerk and the Owner have consented to hold the election on October 5,
2022. The County of San Bernardino Registrar of Voters has certified that there are
no registered voters within the boundaries of the CFD. Following the adoption of the
Resolution Calling the Special Election, the City Clerk will conduct the election and
declare the election results.
Following the election, the City Council may adopt the Resolution Declaring Results
of the Election which declares the results of the election. If the results are in favor of
the levy of special taxes within the CFD and the incurrence of bonded indebtedness
therein, the City Council may call for the first reading of the Ordinance Levying
Special Taxes which authorizes the levy of special taxes within the CFD.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial

Special Tax obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with
written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD

Packet Pg. 263
Resolution No. 2022-___
A-11
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax
for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax
for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based
upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s
Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not
been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum
Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.

Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for
Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any,
on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined
pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s
Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until
the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed
from Special Tax prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the
Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording
notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the
Packet Pg. 264
Resolution No. 2022-___
A-12
Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and
Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated
with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount
derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect
after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in
the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant
to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax
levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for
which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable
notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum
Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the
obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount
of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non-delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable
Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service
on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual
Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon
the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use
of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the
City Council.

obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit
determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial
prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the
Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial
Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a
Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax
obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue
on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.

Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the
2064-2065 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if

classified as Multifamily Residential Property or Non-Residential Property shall be $49,620
per Acre.
3. Undeveloped Property and Provisional Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property and
Provisional Undeveloped Property shall be $49,620 per Acre.
E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the City Council shall
levy Special Taxes on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step One: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of
Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rates in
Table 1 to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Two: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on
each Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the
Special Tax Requirement.
Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Annual Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100%
of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed
to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax on each Assessor's
Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special
Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to
100% of the Backup Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement.
Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property
up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s
Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal
Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for a
private residential use has been issued as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special
Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%)
Packet Pg. 296
A-9
above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such
delinquency or default.
F. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the chronological order in which the property
becomes exempt, (i) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication,
encumbered by or restricted in use by the State of California, Federal or other local governments,
including school districts, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are
exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii)
Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or
restricted in use by a homeowners' association, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility
easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the
easement, (v) Assessor’s Parcels which are privately owned and are encumbered by or restricted
solely for public uses, or (vi) Assessor’s Parcels restricted to other types of public uses
determined by the City Council, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all
Taxable Property to less than 6.46 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt
Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 6.46
Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 6.46 Acres will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to
Step Five in Section E.
Welfare Exempt Property shall be exempt from the payment of the Special Tax so long as the
property qualifies as a Welfare Exempt Property.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following additional definitions apply to this Section G:
“CFD Public Facilities” means $4,000,000 expressed in 2022 dollars, which shall increase by
the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2023, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower
amount (i) determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the
authorized bonding program for CFD No. 2022-1, or (ii) determined by the City Council
concurrently with a covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special
Tax levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment.
“Construction Fund” means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally
equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct
public facilities eligible under CFD No. 2022-1.
“Construction Inflation Index” means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-
Record Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which
ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction
Packet Pg. 297
A-10
Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to
the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available
to be funded, or that were funded, through existing construction or escrow accounts or funded by
the Outstanding Bonds or Special Taxes, and minus public facility costs funded by interest
earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of
Special Tax which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date
following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the
proceeds of prior prepayments of Special Tax.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i)
Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or
Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved or
Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, and (iv) Assessor’s
Parcels of Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable
to an Assessor’s Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such
Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be
made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the
time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum
Special Tax obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with
written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to
cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined
below) for the Assessor’s Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the
CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel.
Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be
redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (some capitalized terms are defined
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
Packet Pg. 298
A-11
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax
for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax
for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based
upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s
Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not
been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum
Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount
of Special Taxes that could be levied the Maximum Special Tax assuming build out of all
Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for
Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any,
on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined
pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s
Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until
the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed
from Special Tax prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the
Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording
notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the
Packet Pg. 299
A-12
Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and
Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated
with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount
derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect
after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in
the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant
to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax
levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for
which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable
notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum
Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the
obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount
of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non-delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable
Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service
on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual
Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon
the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use
of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the
City Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property,
Approved Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be
Packet Pg. 300
A-13
partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of
Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula:
PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax
obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit
determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial
prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the
Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial
Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a
Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax
obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue
on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all
Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the
2064-2065 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if
the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on
the CFD No. 2022-1 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2022-1 have
been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent
Special Tax remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2022-1 have been
satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2022-1 may collect Special Tax at a
Packet Pg. 301
A-14
different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may
covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted
by the Act.
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with
the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special
Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or
before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the
reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall
review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise
the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD
Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s
Assessor’s Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any
taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.

CFD No. 2022-1 (Highland/Medical)
Public Hearing Report
The Rate and Method of Apportionment allows each property owner within CFD No. 2022-1 to estimate the annual Special
Tax amount that would be required for payment. The Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax established
pursuant to these proceedings, is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Rate and Method”). The Special Tax will be collected
in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties,
the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may
directly bill the Special Taxes, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet
the financial obligations, and provided further that CFD No. 2022-1 may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose
on parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.
All of the property located within CFD No. 2022-1, unless exempted by law or by the Rate and Method proposed for CFD
No. 2022-1, shall be taxed for the purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve the District. The Boundary Map for
CFD No. 2022-1 is attached hereto as Appendix B. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed “is a Special
Tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any
property.” The Special Tax may be based on the benefit received by property, the cost of making facilities or authorized
services available or other reasonable basis as determined by the City, although the Special Tax may not be apportioned
on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. A property owner within the District may
choose to prepay in whole or in part the Special Tax. The available method for so doing is described in Section G of the
Rate and Method (“Prepayment of Special Tax”).
The Rate and Method includes special tax rates ranging from $2,790 to $3,209 per Residential Unit for Single Family
Residential Property and $49,620 per Acre for Multifamily Property for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. For each year that any
Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all parcels subject to the Special Tax. If any delinquent Special
Taxes remain uncollected prior to or after all Bonds are retired, the Special Tax may be levied to the extent necessary to
reimburse CFD No. 2022-1 for uncollected Special Taxes associated with the levy of such Special Taxes, but the Special
Tax shall not be levied after 2064-2065 Fiscal Year.
For particulars as to the Rate and Method for CFD No. 2022-1, see the attached and incorporated in Appendix A.

for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and
within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the
amount of the non‐refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in

Packet Pg. 320
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐1 (Highland/Medical) Page 10
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the
Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which
a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as
though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has
been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be
prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special
Taxes that could be levied the Maximum Special Tax assuming build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of
Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed
Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously
prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to
paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future
Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first
bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax
prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which
have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment
of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until
the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived
pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment
Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence
the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption
of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected
reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the
Packet Pg. 321
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐1 (Highland/Medical) Page 11
redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by
subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption
of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the
prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and
Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and
Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture
and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities
Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall
be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such
event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments
of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to
paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the
Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum
Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance
with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special
Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall
cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non‐delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property
after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that
will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms
and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders
shall only be allowed on a case‐by‐case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property,
Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of
determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided
by the following formula:

PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for
the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the
Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax obligation such owner
wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within
5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of
the non‐refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the
amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non‐refundable deposit, the
CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the
Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the

levy Special Taxes on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step One: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of
Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rates in
Table 1 to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Two: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on
each Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the
Special Tax Requirement.
Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Annual Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of
the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to
satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax on each Assessor's
Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special
Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to
100% of the Backup Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the
Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to
satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal
Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for a
private residential use has been issued as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special
Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) above
the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such
delinquency or default.

F. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the chronological order in which the property
becomes exempt, (i) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication,
encumbered by or restricted in use by the State of California, Federal or other local governments,
including school districts, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are
exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii)
Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or
restricted in use by a homeowners' association, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility
easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement,
(v) Assessor’s Parcels which are privately owned and are encumbered by or restricted solely for
public uses, or (vi) Assessor’s Parcels restricted to other types of public uses determined by the
City Council, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property
to less than 6.46 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt
Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 6.46
Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 6.46 Acres will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to
Step Five in Section E.
Welfare Exempt Property shall be exempt from the payment of the Special Tax so long as the
property qualifies as a Welfare Exempt Property.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following additional definitions apply to this Section G:
“CFD Public Facilities” means $4,000,000 expressed in 2022 dollars, which shall increase by the
Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2023, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower amount
(i) determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized
bonding program for CFD No. 2022-1, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a
covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special Tax levied under this
Rate and Method of Apportionment.
“Construction Fund” means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally
equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct
public facilities eligible under CFD No. 2022-1.

Record Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which
ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction
Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to
the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
Packet Pg. 342
A-10
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available
to be funded, or that were funded, through existing construction or escrow accounts or funded by
the Outstanding Bonds or Special Taxes, and minus public facility costs funded by interest
earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of
Special Tax which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date
following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds
of prior prepayments of Special Tax.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor’s
Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved or Undeveloped Property for
which a Building Permit has not been issued, and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Provisional
Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel
may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel
permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there
are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment.
An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for
such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay,
and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by
the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor’s Parcel.
Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less
than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such
prepaid Special Taxes.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (some capitalized terms are defined
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
Packet Pg. 343
A-11
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property
for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the
Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the
Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of
Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued,
or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount
of Special Taxes that could be levied the Maximum Special Tax assuming build out of all
Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for
Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any,
on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant
to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the
“Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the
first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the
earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from
Special Tax prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived
pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment
Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to
evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel
and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
Packet Pg. 344
A-12
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated
with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount
derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after
the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the
reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In
such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to
paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy
for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which
the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to
be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax
obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to
pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non-delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable
Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on
the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual
Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon
the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of
Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City
Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved
Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid.
Packet Pg. 345
A-13
For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be
modified as provided by the following formula:
PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax
obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator
shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover
the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15
business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial
Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial
Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation
equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the
Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all
Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2064-
2065 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD
Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD
No. 2022-1 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2022-1 have been
acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax
remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2022-1 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem
property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2022-1 may collect Special Tax at a different
time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
Packet Pg. 346
A-14
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with
the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the
payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the
appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet
with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its
determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall
grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s).
No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer
who appeals, as herein specified.

E. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meaning set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference herein incorporated.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual
covenants hereinafter contained, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of District. The City shall initiate proceedings pursuant to
the Act for the establishment of the District. Such proceedings include elections pursuant to
Sections 53326, 53350 and 53353.5 of the Act on (i) the question of the issuance of the Bonds of
the District to finance the acquisition of the Acquisition Facilities, and the design, planning,
engineering, construction management, financing, installation and construction or acquisition of
the Public Facilities, including the direct payment to the City for such Public Facilities, (ii) the
question of the annual levy of the Special Taxes on those portions of the Property subject to the
Special Taxes to pay directly for the Acquisition Facilities and the Public Facilities and to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the annual administrative expenses of the City in
levying and collecting such Special Taxes, paying the principal and interest on such Bonds and
providing for the registration, exchange and transfer of such Bonds, including the fees of fiscal
agents and paying agents, and any necessary replenishment of the reserve fund for such Bonds,
and (iii) the question of the establishment of an appropriations limit for the District.
From time to time prior to the issuance of the Bonds, at the written request of
Developer, and subject to Developer advancing funds as determined by the City as necessary to
pay all costs related thereto in accordance with Section 4 below, the City shall use its reasonable
best efforts to undertake proceedings which may be deemed necessary to amend the Rate and
Method or to amend the boundaries of the District.
Section 2. Payment of City Fees as Deposit. Developer shall timely pay or deposit
with the City in full when due all City Fees. Any payment or deposit of City Fees before Special
Taxes are received or proceeds of the Bonds become available, including all City Fees paid prior
to the execution of this Agreement, shall be held on deposit by the City in a separate account
used exclusively for City Fees (the “Deposit Account”), and shall not be expended by the City,
provided, however, earnings on the investment of funds in the Deposit Account shall be returned
to the City. Except as otherwise provided below, if Bonds have not been issued for a period of
36 months from the date of payment of City Fees for the first phase of production units, then the
City may use any funds remaining in the Deposit Account for their lawful purposes and such
funds shall be deemed by the City as the payment of the City Fees for the applicable parcels of
the Property for which payment was made, provided that if Developer requests that Bonds be
issued within such 36 month time frame, then the City may not use any funds remaining in the
Deposit Account as provided herein until 48 months from the date of payment of City Fees for
the first phase of production units. If the City uses any of the funds remaining in the Deposit
Account under either of the two foregoing scenarios, the Developer, or Developer’s designee,
shall be reimbursed from the proceeds of Bonds subsequently issued even if such Bonds must be
issued on a taxable basis.
Packet Pg. 356

Immediately upon the City receiving proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with
this Agreement, the City shall return to Developer, or Developer’s designee, all funds held in the
Deposit Account. In addition, prior to the issuance of Bonds, to the extent Special Taxes in the
Special Fund are available to be disbursed for Public Facilities in accordance with Section
6(a)(3) below, an equal amount of funds held in the Deposit Account shall be returned to
Developer.
Section 3. Sale of Bonds. Upon Developer’s written request, the City shall use its
reasonable best efforts, as hereinafter provided, to issue and sell Bonds, in one or more series, in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Financing District Policy. Each series
of Bonds is expected to have a debt service amortization schedule matching the annual Special
Taxes available for debt service pursuant to the Rate and Method and for a term of not more than
forty (40) years, for the purpose of raising an amount sufficient to pay for the design, planning,
engineering, construction management, financing, installation and construction or acquisition of
the Public Facilities and the Acquisition Facilities. In connection with the issuance of the first
series of Bonds, the City on behalf of itself and the District shall establish criteria for the
issuance of Additional Bonds which meet the criteria of the Financing District Policy. The
timing of the issuance and sale of each series of Bonds, the aggregate principal amount thereof,
and the terms and conditions upon which they shall be sold shall be as set forth in this
Agreement and otherwise as determined by the City in its sole reasonable discretion after
consultation with Developer. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, the timing of the
issuance and sale of the first series of Bonds and any Additional Bonds shall be as soon as
reasonably practicable, as determined by the City in its sole reasonable discretion following
consultation with its financial advisor, underwriter and other consultants and counsel after
written request from Developer. Developer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with
City in connection with any Bond sale.
Section 4. Advance of Certain Expenses. Pursuant to a Developer Deposit
Agreement, between the City and Developer (the “Deposit Agreement”), Developer shall pay
and advance all of the costs reasonably associated with the establishment of the District.
Developer shall deposit funds with the City for the City’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
associated with a sale of each series of Bonds, including, but not limited to, (i) the fees and
expenses of any consultants and legal counsel to the City employed in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds, including an engineer, special tax consultant, financial advisor, bond
counsel and any other consultant deemed necessary or advisable by the City, (ii) the costs of
appraisals, market absorption and feasibility studies and other reports deemed necessary or
advisable by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, (iii) the costs of publication
of notices and other costs related to any proceeding undertaken in connection with the issuance
of the Bonds, (iv) reasonable charges for City staff time incurred in connection with the issuance
of the Bonds, including a reasonable allocation of City overhead expense, and (v) any and all
other actual costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds
(“Reimbursable Expenses”). If the Bonds are issued by the District, the City shall reimburse
Developer from proceeds of the Bonds, without interest, for the portion of the Reimbursable
Expenses deposits that have been expended or encumbered, said reimbursement to be made from
the proceeds of the Bonds on the date of issuance of the Bonds or as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter and only to the extent otherwise permitted under the Act, and refund any unexpended
or encumbered deposited amounts. If the Special Taxes are levied and collected, the City may
Packet Pg. 357
4
reimburse Developer from the receipts of Special Taxes (net of amounts required to pay District
administrative expenses), without interest, for the portion of the deposits paid by Developer
pursuant to the Deposit Agreement that have been expended or encumbered, said reimbursement
from receipts of Special Taxes to be made on or before the end of each fiscal year; provided,
however, that the City may retain such collected Special Taxes in the amounts that it deems
reasonably necessary to facilitate the issuance of the Bonds.
The City shall keep records of all Reimbursable Expenses advanced by the City
pursuant to this Section 4, which records shall be available for inspection by Developer during
regular business hours. The sole source of funds for reimbursement of any advance expenditure
made by the City or Developer shall be the uncommitted and unexpended payments made by
Developer to the City, proceeds of the Bonds, or Special Tax receipts as determined by the City.
Section 5. Tax Requirements. The timing of the sale of each series of Bonds, the
nature of the investments in which the proceeds of the Bonds shall be invested, the duration of
such investments, and the timing of the expenditure of such proceeds shall be as set forth in this
Agreement and the applicable fiscal agent agreement (the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”); provided,
that in all such matters City shall comply with the requirements of and limitations prescribed by
the provisions of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”), as amended, and the implementing regulations of the United States Department of the
Treasury. The City shall not be required to take any such action which in the opinion of the
City’s bond counsel could result in the Bonds being classified by the United States Department
of the Treasury as “arbitrage bonds” or which could otherwise result in the interest on the Bonds
being included in gross income for purposes of Federal income taxation. Should any change in
or regulatory interpretation of any such requirement or limitation which may occur after the date
of this Agreement require or necessitate, in the reasonable opinion of such bond counsel, any
action on the part of the City in order to avoid such a classification or loss of tax exemption, the
City shall notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, forthwith take such action. In the
event the City fails to comply with requirements set forth above in this Section 5, the City’s
liability is limited to the Special Tax revenues generated by the District.
Section 6. Priority and Allocation of Special Taxes and Bond Proceeds.
(a) Special Taxes Prior to the Issuance of Bonds.
Prior to the issuance of Bonds, Special Taxes may be levied at the
discretion of the City on Developed Property pursuant to the Rate and Method in and following
the first fiscal year in which an Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Developed Property until the
issuance of the final series of Bonds.
Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the proceeds of the
Special Taxes shall be allocated in the following priority:
(1) first, to pay all reasonable costs of administration of the District;
(2) second, to pay eligible costs reasonably determined by the City to
be necessary to facilitate the issuance of Bonds within the next six (6) months; and
Packet Pg. 358
5
(3) third, the amount remaining after payment of the amounts for (1)
and (2) shall be deposited in the Special Fund and disbursed first to reimburse prior deposits paid
by Developer to City pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, then to fund the Acquisition Facilities
and/or Public Facilities.
(b) Special Taxes Following the Issuance of Bonds. Following the issuance
of the first series of Bonds and continuing until the issuance of the final series of Bonds, the City
shall levy Special Taxes on all Assessor’s Parcels classified as Developed Property at the
Assigned Special Tax amount pursuant to the Rate and Method or such lesser amount which
complies with the Fiscal Agent Agreement. In years in which there is no levy of Special Taxes
on Undeveloped Property, the priority for allocation of the Special Taxes collected from
Developed Property shall be as follows:
(1) first, to fund an amount up to the annual Administrative Expense
Requirement;
(2) second, to pay principal and interest on outstanding Bonds and to
replenish the reserve fund to the applicable reserve fund requirement;
(3) third, to fund all actual administrative expenses in excess of the
Administrative Expense Requirement; and
(4) fourth, all remaining amounts shall reduce special tax levies in
subsequent fiscal years.
(c) Bond Proceeds. The proceeds of all Bonds shall be allocated and
disbursed according to the following priorities:
(1) first, to fund all costs of issuance of the Bonds including (i) a
reserve fund for the Bonds which does not exceed the amount permitted under the Code or the
Act, (ii) capitalized interest for at least the period required to collect sufficient Special Taxes
through the annual levy, or a longer period requested by Developer, not to exceed an amount
equal to two years interest, or such lesser amount as the City shall determine pursuant to the
Financing District Policy, (iii) the underwriter’s discount, (iv) the Reimbursable Expenses, and
(v) bond counsel fees, disclosure counsel fees, financial advisor, appraisal and market absorption
consultant fees, special tax consultant fees, fiscal agent or trustee fees and other typical and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance and sale
of the Bonds;
(2) second, to reimburse, without interest, prior deposits paid by
Developer to City pursuant to the Deposit Agreement and this Agreement related to formation of
the District and issuance of the Bonds; and
(3) third, to fund the Acquisition Facilities (including any costs
incurred by the City for processing Payment Requests) and/or Public Facilities in satisfaction of
an amount equal to City Fees for which Special Taxes were insufficient to pay, as may be
determined by the City in consultation with Developer.

Section 7. Construction of Acquisition Facilities. The Acquisition Facilities for
which Developer seeks reimbursement under this Agreement shall be constructed and completed
by Developer, as determined by the City pursuant to Section 53313.5 of the Act. Payment of the
Purchase Price of the Acquisition Facilities shall be in the manner described in Section 8 hereof.
Section 8. Acquisition and Payment of Acquisition Facilities.
(a) Inspection. City agrees that the Acquisition Facilities are eligible for
payment, provided that the timing and amount of such payment shall be determined by the City
pursuant to this Section 8 of this Agreement. No payment hereunder shall be made by the City
to Developer for an Acquisition Facility until such Acquisition Facility has been inspected by the
City or other applicable public entity or utility and found to be substantially completed in
accordance with the approved Plans. An Acquisition Facility shall be considered “substantially
complete” when it has been reasonably determined by the City or other applicable public entity
to be usable, subject to final completion of such items as the final lift or any other items not
essential to the primary use or operation of the Acquisition Facility. For Acquisition Facilities to
be acquired by the City, Developer shall request inspection using applicable City procedures.
For Acquisition Facilities to be acquired by other public entities or utilities, Developer shall be
responsible for obtaining such inspections and providing written evidence thereof to the City
Engineer. Developer agrees to pay all inspection, permit and other similar fees of the City
applicable to construction of the Acquisition Facilities, which fees are subject to reimbursement
under this Agreement.
(b) Agreement to Sell and Purchase Acquisition Facilities. Developer hereby
agrees to sell the Acquisition Facilities to the City and the City hereby agrees to use amounts
available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to pay the Purchase Price, as defined below,
thereof to Developer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The City shall not be obligated
to pay the Purchase Price for the Acquisition Facilities except from the proceeds of the Bonds
and proceeds of the Special Tax as provided herein.
(c) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for an Acquisition Facility shall be
equal to the Actual Cost of such Acquisition Facility, as approved in accordance with the
procedure set forth in subsection (e) below but subject to the limitations of this Section 8.
(d) Payment Requests. In order to receive the Purchase Price for an
Acquisition Facility, Developer shall deliver to the City Manager or his designee a Payment
Request in the form of Exhibit C hereto, together with all attachments and exhibits required by
this Section 8(d) to be included therewith. If the property on which the Acquisition Facility is
located is not owned by the City at the time of the request, Developer shall provide a copy of the
recorded documents conveying to the City Acceptable Title to the real property on, in or over
which such Acquisition Facility is located, as described in Section 9(a) hereof.
(e) Processing Payment Requests. Upon receipt of a Payment Request (and
all accompanying documents), the City Manager or his designee shall conduct a review in order
to confirm that such request is complete and to verify and approve the Actual Cost of the
Acquisition Facility. The City Manager or his designee shall also conduct such review as is
required in his/her discretion to confirm the matters certified in the Payment Request. Developer
Packet Pg. 360
7
agrees to cooperate with the City Manager or his designee in conducting each such review and to
provide the City Manager or his designee with such additional information and documentation as
is reasonably necessary for the City Manager or his designee to conclude each such review.
Within 20 business days of receipt of the Payment Request, the City Manager or his designee
expects to review the request for completeness and notify Developer whether such Payment
Request is complete, and, if not, what additional documentation must be provided. If such
Payment Request is complete, the City Manager or his designee expects to provide a written
approval or denial (specifying the reason for any denial) of the request within 30 days of its
submittal.
(f) Payment. Upon approval of the Payment Request by the City Manager or
his designee, the City Manager or his designee shall sign the Payment Request and forward the
same to the Finance Director of the City. Upon receipt of the reviewed and fully signed Payment
Request, the Finance Director of the City shall, within the then current City financial accounting
payment cycle but in any event within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the approved
Payment Request, cause the same to be paid by the Fiscal Agent under the applicable provisions
of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, to the extent of funds then on deposit in the appropriate account.
The Purchase Price paid hereunder for the Acquisition Facilities shall constitute
payment in full for the Acquisition Facilities, including, without limitation, payment for all labor,
materials, equipment, tools and services used or incorporated in the work, supervision,
administration, overhead, expenses and any and all other things required, furnished or incurred
for completion of the Acquisition Facilities.
(g) Timing of Requisitions. The City and Developer acknowledge that
(i) Developer may submit a Payment Request for an Acquisition Facility to the City in advance
of when sufficient, if any, funds are available for payment of the Purchase Price; (ii) the Payment
Request submitted when there are insufficient proceeds available will be reviewed by the City as
set forth in this Agreement and, if appropriate, approved for payment when such funds are
available and (iii) the payment approved in the preceding manner will be deferred until the date,
if any, on which there are proceeds of Special Taxes or Bonds available to make all or part of
such payment, at which time the city will pay from the Special Fund or direct the Fiscal Agent to
wire transfer (or pay in another mutually acceptable manner) from Bond proceeds the funds
available to the payee identified in such Payment Request.
(h) Restrictions on Payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, the following restrictions shall apply to any payments made to Developer under
Sections 8(b) and 8(f) hereof:
(1) Amounts of Payments. Subject to the following paragraphs of this
Section 8(h), payments for the Acquisition Facilities will be made only in the amount of the
Purchase Price for the Acquisition Facilities.
Nothing herein shall require the City in any event (i) to pay more than the
Actual Cost of the Acquisition Facilities, or (ii) to make any payment beyond the available funds
in the Special Fund or the applicable accounts identified in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all payments to Developer for the Purchase Price of
Packet Pg. 361
8
the Acquisition Facilities are intended to be reimbursements to Developer for monies already
expended or for immediate payment by Developer (or directly by the City) to third parties in
respect of the Acquisition Facilities.
(2) Joint or Third Party Payments. The City may make any payment
jointly to Developer and any mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary, contractor or supplier of
materials, as their interests may appear, or solely to any such third party, if Developer so requests
the same in writing or as the City otherwise determines such joint or third party payment is
necessary to obtain lien releases.
(3) Withholding Payments. The City shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to withhold any payment hereunder for the Acquisition Facilities if the Owner or any
Affiliate is delinquent in the payment of ad valorem real property taxes, special assessments or
taxes, or Special Taxes levied in the District. In the event of any such delinquency, the City shall
only make payments hereunder directly to contractors or other third parties employed in
connection with the construction of the Acquisition Facilities or to any assignee of Developer’s
interests in this Agreement (and not to Developer or any Affiliate), until such time as Developer
provides the City Manager with evidence that all such delinquent taxes and assessments have
been paid.
The City shall withhold final payment for an Acquisition Facility
constructed on land until Acceptable Title to such land is conveyed to the City, as described in
Section 9 hereof.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Developer from
contesting in good faith the validity or amount of any mechanics or materialman’s lien nor limit
the remedies available to Developer with respect thereto so long as such delay in performance
shall not subject the Acquisition Facility to foreclosure, forfeiture or sale. In the event that any
such lien is contested, Developer shall only be required to post or cause the delivery of a bond in
an amount equal to the amount in dispute with respect to any such contested lien, so long as such
bond is drawn on an obligor and is otherwise in a form acceptable to the City Manager or his
designee.
Nothing in this Section 8(h) shall prevent payments pursuant to Section 6.
(i) Modification of Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities. The
descriptions of the Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities in Exhibit A may be modified, or
new Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities may be added to Exhibit A, through a
Supplement executed by the City Manager and Developer provided the modifications or new
Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities are consistent with the facilities and costs authorized
to be funded by the District pursuant to the formation proceedings and the Act.
Section 9. Ownership and Transfer of Acquisition Facilities.
(a) Conveyance of Land and Easements to City. Acceptable Title to all
property on, in or over which the Acquisition Facilities will be located, shall be deeded over to
the City by way of grant deed, quitclaim, or dedication of such property, or easement thereon, if
such conveyance of interest is approved by the City as being a sufficient interest therein to
Packet Pg. 362
9
permit the City to properly own, operate and maintain the Acquisition Facilities located therein,
thereon or thereover, and to permit Developer to perform its obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. Developer agrees to assist the City in obtaining such documents as are required to
obtain Acceptable Title. Completion of the transfer of title to land shall be accomplished prior to
the payment of the Purchase Price for an Acquisition Facility and shall be evidenced by an
irrevocable offer of dedication or recordation of the acceptance thereof by the City Council.
(b) Facilities to be Owned by the City – Title Evidence. Upon the request of
the City, Developer shall furnish to the City a preliminary title report for land with respect to the
Acquisition Facilities that have not previously been dedicated or otherwise conveyed to the City,
for review and approval at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the transfer of Acceptable
Title of the Acquisition Facilities to the City. The City shall approve the preliminary title report
unless it reveals a matter which, in the judgment of the City, could materially affect the City’s
use and enjoyment of any part of the property or easement covered by the preliminary title
report. In the event the City does not approve the preliminary title report, the City shall not be
obligated to accept title to such Acquisition Facility or pay the Purchase Price for the Acquisition
Facility until Developer has cured such objections to title to the satisfaction of the City.
(c) Facilities Constructed on Private Lands. If any portion of an Acquisition
Facility is located on privately-owned land, the owner thereof shall retain title to the land and the
completed Acquisition Facility until the Acquisition Facility is accepted by City and transferred
to City pursuant to this Section 9. Pending the completion of such transfer, Developer shall not
be entitled to receive any payment for the Acquisition Facility. Developer shall, however, be
entitled to receive payments pursuant to Section 8 of the Acquisition Facility upon making an
irrevocable offer of dedication of such land in form and substance acceptable to the City
Manager.
(d) Facilities Constructed on City Land. If any portion of an Acquisition
Facility to be acquired is on land owned by the City, the City hereby grants to Developer a
license to enter upon such land for purposes related to the construction (and maintenance
pending acquisition) of the Acquisition Facility. The provisions for inspection and acceptance of
the Acquisition Facilities otherwise provided herein shall apply.
Section 10. Indemnification. Developer shall promptly defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents, and each and every one of them, and the
District from any and all claims, actions, liability, damages, losses, expenses and costs arising
out of Developer’s performance of, or failure to perform, its duties hereunder or by reason of, or
arising out of, this Agreement.
Section 11. City Policies. The Rate and Method, the sale of the Bonds and the ratio of
the appraised market value of all parcels of property within the District to the total amount of the
assessment and special tax obligation thereof after the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the
“Value-to-Lien Ratio”) shall comply with the Financing District Policy of the City.
Section 12. Representations, Covenants and Warranties of Developer. Developer
represents and warrants for the benefit of the City as follows:
Packet Pg. 363
10
A. Organization. Developer is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of California, is duly qualified to conduct business as a
corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has the
corporate power and corporate authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its
business as now being conducted and as now contemplated.
B. Authority. Developer has the corporate power and corporate
authority to enter into this Agreement, and has taken all action necessary to cause this Agreement
to be executed and delivered by Developer, and this Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by Developer.
C. Binding Obligation. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Developer, enforceable against Developer in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy and other equitable principles.
D. Compliance with Laws. Developer shall not with knowledge
commit, suffer or permit any act to be done in, upon or to the lands of Owner in the District in
violation of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority or any
covenant, condition or restriction now or hereafter affecting the lands in the District or the
Acquisition Facilities.
E. Requests for Payment. Developer represents and warrants that
(i) it will not request payment from the City out of the Special Taxes or proceeds of the Bonds
for the acquisition of any improvements other than the Acquisition Facilities, and (ii) it will
diligently follow all procedures set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Payment Request
for the Acquisition Facilities.
F. Additional Information. Developer agrees to cooperate with all
reasonable written requests for nonproprietary information by the original purchasers of the
Bonds or the City related to the status of construction of improvements within the District, the
anticipated completion dates for future improvements, and any other matter material to the
investment quality of the Bonds.
G. Continuing Disclosure. Developer agrees to comply with all of its
obligations under any continuing disclosure agreement executed by it in connection with the
offering and sale of any of the Bonds. Developer shall cooperate with City in complying with the
requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with
the issuance and sale of the Bonds. Developer shall provide information to the City regarding its
operations and financial condition as such information has been disclosed in the Official
Statement. The City, in consultation with the underwriter of the Bonds, may determine that some
or all of such financial information will be included in the preliminary official statement and the
final official statement for the Bonds. If Developer owns property within the District responsible
for more than 20% of the Special Taxes levied in such fiscal year, then Developer acknowledges
that it may be an “obligated person” for purposes of compliance with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and that it may therefore be necessary that Developer enter
into a continuing disclosure undertaking, at the time of and in connection with the issuance and
sale of the Bonds, that so long as it remains an obligated person it will semi-annually, at the time
Packet Pg. 364
11
specified in such undertaking, provide information regarding its financial condition, including, at
the City’s discretion, such regularly submitted periodic reports and financial statements prepared
by Developer’s certified public accountant which are available to the investing public (which
may be consolidated with Developer’s parent company) and the status of development and
residential and land sale activity within the District to be included within the semi-annual reports
which Developer, or a dissemination agent designated in such undertaking, will file with the
Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repositories which are identified by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any state information repository that may be
designated for the State of California, as required by that rule. Copies of all such reports shall
also be provided to the City and the underwriter of the Bonds. Developer further acknowledges
that it may be an obligated person pursuant to such rule as long as it owns property within the
District that is responsible for the payment of annual Special Taxes which represent 20% or more
of the annual debt service on the Bonds. The Developer shall notify the Owner who owns
property within the District which will be responsible for the payment of annual Special Taxes
which represent 20% or more of the annual debt service on the Bonds that it will be an obligated
person for purposes of the rule and that such entity will be required to enter into a continuing
disclosure undertaking as provided in this section.
Section 13. Independent Contractor. Developer is an independent contractor and not
the agent of the City or the District. This Agreement shall not and does not create a joint venture
or partnership between the City and Developer. The City shall have no responsibility or liability
for the payment of any amount to any employee or subcontractor of Developer.
Section 14. Special Taxes. The parties are entering into this Agreement and
establishing the District for the purpose of creating a stream of Special Tax revenues that will be
available to the District to pay directly the costs of acquisition, construction and/or equipping the
Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities and to pay debt service on the Bonds, the proceeds of
which will be used to pay the costs of acquisition, construction and/or equipping of the
Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities. Developer and City hereby acknowledge and agree
(i) that any reduction or termination of the Special Taxes by exercise of the initiative power or
other action would constitute a substantial impairment of the Special Tax revenue stream that
Developer and City intend to create for the purpose of providing an assured source of funding for
construction, acquisition and/or equipping of the Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities, and
(ii) that this Agreement is being entered into, and the Special Taxes are being imposed upon the
Property pursuant to the Rate and Method, in accordance with existing laws relating to the
imposition of fees and charges as a condition of development of the Property and such Special
Taxes are being incurred as an incident of the voluntary act of development of the Property.
Section 15. Disclosure of Special Taxes.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, Developer shall provide a
“Notice of Special Tax” (as defined in Section 15(b) below) to each prospective purchaser of a
home in the District prior to the execution by the home buyer of the sale contract for such home.
Developer shall (i) maintain records of each Notice of Special Tax for a period of five (5) years,
and (ii) shall provide copies of each notice to City promptly following the giving of such notice.
Developer shall include the Notice of Special Tax in all Developer’s applications for Final
Packet Pg. 365
12
Subdivision Reports required by the Department of Real Estate (“DRE”) which are filed after the
effective date of this Agreement.
Developer shall require of a builder acquiring lots within the Property (a
“Residential Builder”), prior to the close of escrow on any residential lot, to (i) maintain records
of each Notice of Special Tax for a period of five (5) years, (ii) provide copies of each notice to
City promptly following the giving of such notice, and (iii) include the Notice of Special Tax in
all of such Residential Builder’s applications for Final Subdivision Reports required by DRE.
(b) With respect to any parcel, the term “Notice of Special Tax” means a
notice in the form prescribed by California Government Code Section 53341.5 which is
calculated to disclose to the purchaser thereof (i) that the property being purchased is subject to
the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District; (ii) the classification of such property;
(iii) the maximum annual amount of the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District and
the number of years for which they are authorized to be levied; and (iv) the types of facilities and
services to be paid with the proceeds of the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District.
(c) City will file with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s office a notice of
special tax lien that gives notice of the existence of the District and the levy of the Special Tax
on property within the District for the benefit of subsequent property owners, pursuant to
requirements of Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code.
(d) Sample Property Tax Bill/Special Tax Information Sheet. Developer and
its successors and assigns shall prepare and have available in its sales office, copies of either a
sample property tax bill in a form reasonably acceptable for the City or special tax information
sheet in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Special Tax Information
Sheet”), which shows the assigned annual Special Taxes and other special taxes authorized to be
levied within the District under the Rate and Method. Developer and its successors and assigns
shall make available to prospective homebuyers to take with them, copies of such sample
property tax bill or Special Tax Information Sheet at the time written information regarding the
base home price and property tax information for a specific home site is requested by and
provided to such homebuyers. Developer intends to comply with this requirement by providing
prospective homebuyers who request such additional written information, with the sample
property tax bill in the Master Property Disclosure Report, a copy of which has presented to and
approved by the City.
Section 16. Termination and Dissolution. Prior to the issuance of Bonds, Developer
may elect to terminate this Agreement and request that the City cancel the Special Taxes by
providing written notice to the City. Within thirty (30) days of such written notice, City shall
record a notice of cancellation of the Special Taxes with respect to each parcel. Developer shall
be responsible for reasonable City costs incurred relating to the cancellation of the Special Taxes
and recordation of such notice; provided, however, that the City shall not terminate the Special
Taxes for any lot for which a building permit has been issued, unless Developer pays all City
fees or posts separate security therefore. Such termination of this Agreement and cancellation of
Special Taxes shall have no effect on Developer’s obligations to pay City Fees upon issuance of
a building permit.
Packet Pg. 366

Section 17. Binding on Community Facilities District. The District shall automatically
become a party to this Agreement, and all provisions hereof which apply to the City shall also
apply to the District. The City Council of the City, acting as the legislative body of the District,
shall perform all parts of this Agreement which require performance on the part of the District.
Section 18. Assignment. Upon the successful formation of the District, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto
and shall run with the land without any further action of the City or Developer unless terminated
in writing pursuant to Section 16.
Section 19. Prompt Action. All consents, approvals and determinations required of
either the City or Developer pursuant to this Agreement shall be promptly given or made, and
shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.
Section 20. General. This Agreement and the Deposit Agreement contain the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the matters herein provided for. This Agreement
may only be amended by a subsequent written agreement signed on behalf of both parties. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
parties. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the Constitution and laws of the
State of California. Should either party to this Agreement commence a court action or
proceeding against the other party with respect to this Agreement or the design and acquisition or
construction of the Acquisition Facilities, the party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall
be entitled to receive from the losing party its attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and
other costs incurred by it in prosecuting or defending such action or proceeding. The captions of
the sections of this Agreement are provided for convenience only, and shall not have any bearing
on the interpretation of any section hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original of the same agreement.

DEFINITIONS
The following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them for purposes of this
Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, any other terms, capitalized or not, when used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Fiscal Agent Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
“Acceptable Title” means title to land or interest therein, in form acceptable to the Public
Works Director, free and clear of all liens, taxes, assessments, leases, easements and
encumbrances, whether or not recorded, but subject to any exceptions determined by the Public
Works Director as not interfering with the actual or intended use of the land or interest therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an irrevocable offer of dedication may constitute land with an
“Acceptable Title” if (i) such offer is necessary to satisfy a condition to a tentative or final
parcel map, (ii) such offer is in a form acceptable to the Public Works Director, (iii) the Public

Background
The City has received petitions from Pacific West Company, the owner of APN Nos.
0285-211-21-0000, 0285-211-23-0000, and 0285-211-22-0000, and Hanhsing Li,
Chenmei Cheng, and Ann C. Lau (the “Owners”), the owners of APN Nos. 0285-211-
05-0000 and 0285-211-25-0000 (the “Property”) requesting the formation of the
proposed community facilities district (the “CFD”), encompassing the Property, to
finance:
(a) Acquisition, design, construction of local and regional circulation systems, storm
drain improvements, and parkland and open space (the “Facilities”); and
(b) The incidental expenses proposed to be incurred are: (i) the cost of planning and
designing the public facilities and the cost of environmental evaluations thereof, (ii) all
costs associated with the formation of the proposed CFD No. 2022-2, the issuance of
the bonds thereof, the determination of the amount of and collection of special taxes,
the payment of special taxes, and costs otherwise incurred in order to carry out the
authorized purposes of the proposed CFD No. 2022-2, and (iii) any other expenses
incidental to the construction, completion, and inspection of the public Facilities.

Discussion
On October 5, 2022, this City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the formation
of the proposed CFD and the issuance of bonded indebtedness therein. If a majority
of the landowners within the boundaries of the proposed CFD do not register written
or oral protest, then the City Council may consider adopting the following resolutions:
The Resolution of Formation specifies that special taxes will be levied on all parcels of
taxable property within the CFD to pay principal of and interest on the bonds of the
CFD which will be issued to finance the Facilities. The amounts of the special taxes
that may be levied for these purposes are set forth in Exhibit A to the Resolution of
Formation. The Resolution of Formation also approves the form of Funding Agreement
which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the City will acquire
improvements constructed by the developer, Warmington Residential California, Inc.
(the “Developer”).
The purpose of the Funding Agreement is to provide for the levy of Special Taxes and
the issuance and sale of the Bonds of the District secured by the Special Taxes to
finance the design, planning, engineering, financing, installation, and construction of
the Facilities and expenses incidental thereto.
The Resolution Determining Necessity authorizes the CFD to incur a bonded
indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4,000,000 for the
purpose of financing the Facilities as described above and calls a special election for
October 5, 2022, on the proposition of the CFD incurring a bonded indebtedness.
The Resolution Calling the Special Election schedules the elections for the CFD with
respect to the annual levy of special taxes to pay principal of and interest on bonds of
the CFD, with respect to the CFD incurring a bonded indebtedness, and with respect
to establishing an annual appropriations limit of $4,000,000.
The City Clerk and the Owners have consented to hold the election on October 5,
2022. The County of San Bernardino Registrar of Voters has certified that there are
no registered voters within the boundaries of the CFD. Following the adoption of the
Resolution Calling the Special Election, the City Clerk will conduct the election and
declare the election results.
Following the election, the City Council may adopt the Resolution Declaring Results of
the Election which declares the results of the election. If the results are in favor of the
levy of special taxes within the CFD and the incurrence of bonded indebtedness
therein, the City Council may call for the first reading of the Ordinance Levying Special
Taxes, which authorizes the levy of special taxes within the CFD.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. This project will
contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure
Packet Pg. 379

designed for long-term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City as the costs for formation of the CFD is paid
through a deposit provided by the Developer, and on-going administrative costs are
paid through the levy of special taxes within the CFD.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-212 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San

E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the City Council shall
levy Special Taxes on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step One: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of
Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rates in
Table 1 to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Two: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on
each Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the
Special Tax Requirement.
Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Annual Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of
the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to
satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax on each Assessor's
Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special
Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to
100% of the Backup Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately
on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the
Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to
satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal
Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for a
private residential use has been issued as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special
Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) above
the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such
delinquency or default.

F. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the chronological order in which the property
becomes exempt, (i) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication,
encumbered by or restricted in use by the State of California, Federal or other local governments,
including school districts, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are
exempt from ad valorem property taxes because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii)
Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or
restricted in use by a homeowners' association, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility
easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement,
(v) Assessor’s Parcels which are privately owned and are encumbered by or restricted solely for

City Council, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property
to less than 9.11 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt
Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 9.11
Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 9.11 Acres will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to
Step Five in Section E.
Welfare Exempt Property shall be exempt from the payment of the Special Tax so long as the
property qualifies as a Welfare Exempt Property.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX

“CFD Public Facilities” means $3,000,000 expressed in 2022 dollars, which shall increase by the
Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2023, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower amount
(i) determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized
bonding program for CFD No. 2022-2, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a
covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special Tax levied under this
Rate and Method of Apportionment.
“Construction Fund” means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally
equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct
public facilities eligible under CFD No. 2022-2.
“Construction Inflation Index” means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-
Record Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which
ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction
Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to
the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
Packet Pg. 398
A-10
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available
to be funded, or that were funded, through existing construction or escrow accounts or funded by
the Outstanding Bonds or Special Taxes, and minus public facility costs funded by interest
earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of
Special Tax which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date
following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds
of prior prepayments of Special Tax.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor’s
Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved or Undeveloped Property for
which a Building Permit has not been issued, and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Provisional
Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel
may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel
permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there
are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment.
An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for
such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay,
and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by
the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor’s Parcel.
Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less
than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such
prepaid Special Taxes.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (some capitalized terms are defined
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property
Packet Pg. 399
A-11
for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the
Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the
Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of
Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued,
or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount
of Special Taxes that could be levied the Maximum Special Tax assuming build out of all
Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for
Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any,
on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant
to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the
“Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the
first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the
earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from
Special Tax prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived
pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment
Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to
evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel
and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
Packet Pg. 400
A-12
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated
with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount
derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after
the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the
reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In
such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to
paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy
for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which
the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to
be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax
obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to
pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non-delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable
Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on
the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual
Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon
the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of
Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City
Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved
Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid.
For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be
modified as provided by the following formula:
Packet Pg. 401
A-13
PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax
obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator
shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover
the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15
business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial
Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial
Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation
equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the
Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all
Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2064-
2065 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD
Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD
No. 2022-2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2022-2 have been
acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax
remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2022-2 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem
property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2022-2 may collect Special Tax at a different
time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
Packet Pg. 402
A-14
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with
the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the
payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the
appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet
with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its
determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall
grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s).
No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer
who appeals, as herein specified.

An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for
such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay,
and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such

owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less
than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such
prepaid Special Taxes.

for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the
Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the
Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of
Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued,
or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel.

Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the
Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the

on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.

to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the
“Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the
first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the
earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from
Special Tax prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived
pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment
Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to
evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel
and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
Packet Pg. 435
A-12
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated
with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount
derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after
the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the
reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In
such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to
paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy
for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which
the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to
be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax
obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to
pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non-delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable
Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on
the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual

the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of

Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved

For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be
modified as provided by the following formula:
Packet Pg. 436
A-13
PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax
obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator
shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover
the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15
business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial
Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial
Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation
equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the
Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all
Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2064-
2065 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD
Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD
No. 2022-2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2022-2 have been
acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax
remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2022-2 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem
property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2022-2 may collect Special Tax at a different
time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
Packet Pg. 437
A-14
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with
the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the
payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the
appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet
with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its
determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall
grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s).
No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer
who appeals, as herein specified.

CFD No. 2022-2 (Palm)
Public Hearing Report
The Rate and Method of Apportionment allows each property owner within CFD No. 2022-2 to estimate the annual Special
Tax amount that would be required for payment. The Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax established
pursuant to these proceedings, is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Rate and Method”). The Special Tax will be collected
in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties,
the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may
directly bill the Special Taxes, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet
the financial obligations, and provided further that CFD No. 2022-2 may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose
on parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.
All of the property located within CFD No. 2022-2, unless exempted by law or by the Rate and Method proposed for CFD
No. 2022-2, shall be taxed for the purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve the District. The Boundary Map for
CFD No. 2022-2 is attached hereto as Appendix B. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed “is a Special
Tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any
property.” The Special Tax may be based on the benefit received by property, the cost of making facilities or authorized
services available or other reasonable basis as determined by the City, although the Special Tax may not be apportioned
on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. A property owner within the District may
choose to prepay in whole or in part the Special Tax. The available method for so doing is described in Section G of the
Rate and Method (“Prepayment of Special Tax”).
The Rate and Method includes special tax rates ranging from $1,552 to $1,849 per Residential Unit for Single Family
Residential Property and $27,459 per Acre for Multifamily Property for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. For each year that any
Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all parcels subject to the Special Tax. If any delinquent Special
Taxes remain uncollected prior to or after all Bonds are retired, the Special Tax may be levied to the extent necessary to
reimburse CFD No. 2022-2 for uncollected Special Taxes associated with the levy of such Special Taxes, but the Special
Tax shall not be levied after 2064-2065 Fiscal Year.
For particulars as to the Rate and Method for CFD No. 2022-2, see the attached and incorporated in Appendix A.

determined as follows: (1) the CFD Administrator shall first determine an amount of the Maximum Special
Tax levy for such Assessor’s Parcel, based on the classification of such Assessor’s Parcel as Undeveloped
Property; (2) the amount of the Special Tax for the Residential Units on such Assessor’s Parcel for which
Building Permits have been issued shall be determined based on the Developed Property Special Tax rates
and such amounts shall be levied as Developed Property in accordance with Step 1 and, if applicable, Step
4 of Section E below; and (3) the amount of the Special Tax levy on the Taxable Property in such Assessor’s
Parcel not subject to the Special Tax levy in clause (2) shall be equal to: (A) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax rate levied on Undeveloped Property pursuant to Step 3 of Section E below, multiplied by the
total of the amount determined in clause (1), less (B) the amount determined in clause (2).
D. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Backup Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developer Property
for which a certificate of occupancy has been granted may not be revised.
In the event any superseding Final Map is recorded as a Final Map within the boundaries of the CFD,
the Backup Special Tax for all Assessor’s Parcels within such Final Map shall be $27,459 per Acre. The
Backup Special Tax shall not apply to Multifamily Residential Property or Non‐Residential Property.

E. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing Fiscal Year 2022‐2023 and for each subsequent Fiscal Year, the City Council shall levy Special
Taxes on all Taxable Property in accordance with the following steps:
Step One: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed
Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rates in Table 1 to satisfy
the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Two: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step
has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s
Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each
such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Three: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two
steps have been completed, the Annual Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on
each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax
applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement.
Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first
three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be
Packet Pg. 454
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐2 (Palm) Page 8
increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Backup
Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four
steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against
any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for a private residential use
has been issued as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other
Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been
levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.
F. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the chronological order in which the property becomes
exempt, (i) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or
restricted in use by the State of California, Federal or other local governments, including school districts,
(ii) Assessor’s Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes
because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by,
irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by a homeowners' association, (iv)
Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the
purposes set forth in the easement, (v) Assessor’s Parcels which are privately owned and are encumbered
by or restricted solely for public uses, or (vi) Assessor’s Parcels restricted to other types of public uses
determined by the City Council, provided that no such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable
Property to less than 9.11 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt Property if
such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 9.11 Acres. Assessor's Parcels
which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of
all Taxable Property to less than 9.11 Acres will be classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and
will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to Step Five in Section E.
Welfare Exempt Property shall be exempt from the payment of the Special Tax so long as the property
qualifies as a Welfare Exempt Property.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following additional definitions apply to this Section G:
“CFD Public Facilities” means $3,000,000 expressed in 2022 dollars, which shall increase by the
Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2023, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower amount (i)
determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized bonding
program for CFD No. 2022‐2, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that it
will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special Tax levied under this Rate and Method of
Apportionment.
Packet Pg. 455
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐2 (Palm) Page 9
“Construction Fund” means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally equivalent
to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible
under CFD No. 2022‐2.
“Construction Inflation Index” means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News‐Record
Building Cost Index for the city of Los Angeles, measured as of the Calendar Year which ends in the
previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall
be another index as determined by the City that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News‐
Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available to be funded,
or that were funded, through existing construction or escrow accounts or funded by the Outstanding
Bonds or Special Taxes, and minus public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction
Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of Special Tax
which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current
Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of
Special Tax.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor’s Parcels
of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a
Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has
not been issued, and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Provisional Undeveloped Property. The Maximum Special
Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special
Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may
be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time
of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation
for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and
within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the
amount of the non‐refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in
calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor’s Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt
of such non‐refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount
for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date
for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (some capitalized terms are defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
Packet Pg. 456
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐2 (Palm) Page 10
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the
Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which
a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as
though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has
been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property to be
prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special
Taxes that could be levied the Maximum Special Tax assuming build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of
Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed
Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously
prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to
paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future
Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first
bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax
prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which
have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment
of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until
the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived
pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment
Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence
the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption
of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
Packet Pg. 457
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐2 (Palm) Page 11
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected
reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the
redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by
subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption
of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the
prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and
Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and
Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture
and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities
Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall
be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such
event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments
of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to
paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the
Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum
Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance
with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special
Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall
cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non‐delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property
after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that
will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms
and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders
shall only be allowed on a case‐by‐case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property,
Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of
determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided
by the following formula:
PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
Packet Pg. 458
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐2 (Palm) Page 12
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the
Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for
the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the
Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax obligation such owner
wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within
5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of
the non‐refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the
amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non‐refundable deposit, the
CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the
Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment
Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid,
the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of
Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial Prepayment Amount
for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage
(1.00 ‐ F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels
subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2064‐2065 Fiscal Year, however,
Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that
all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2022‐2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all
authorized facilities of CFD No. 2022‐2 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have
been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2022‐
2 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem
property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2022‐2 may collect Special Tax at a different time or in a
different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may
actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with the CFD
Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During
pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date
established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the
Packet Pg. 459
City of San Bernardino
Community Facilities District No. 2022‐2 (Palm) Page 13
Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD
Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator
agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special
Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations
relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer who appeals, as
herein specified.

9.Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which have not yet been paid.
10.Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11.Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived
pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12.Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment
Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to
evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel
and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13.The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
Packet Pg. 480
A-12
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated
with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount
derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after
the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the
reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14.The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15.From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In
such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to
paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy
for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which
the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to
be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax
obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to
pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all non-delinquent Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable
Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on
the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual
Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon
the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of
Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City
Council.
2.Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved
Property, Undeveloped Property or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid.
For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be
modified as provided by the following formula:
Packet Pg. 481
A-13
PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax
obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator
shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover
the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15
business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial
Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial
Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation
equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the
Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H.TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all
Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2064-
2065 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD
Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD
No. 2022-2 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2022-2 have been
acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Tax
remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2022-2 have been satisfied.
I.MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem
property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2022-2 may collect Special Tax at a different
time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
Packet Pg. 482
A-14
J.APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with
the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the
payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the
appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet
with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its
determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall
grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s).
No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer
who appeals, as herein specified.

R E C I T A L S
A. Pacific West Company, Hanhsing Li, Chenmei Cheng, and Ann C. Lau,
have purchased that certain real property located on approximately 15.129 gross acres of land
within Tract Map No. 20495 including 133 residential lots, (the “Property”) located in the City,
commonly known as “Palm.”
B. The City, is in the process of establishing a community facilities district
pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 2.5 (commencing with § 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of
Title 5 of the Government Code, commonly known as the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities
Act of 1982” (the “Act”), over and including the Property for the purpose of levying special
taxes (the “Special Taxes”) and selling bonds, in one or more series (the “Bonds”), in an amount
sufficient to finance the acquisition of certain local and regional circulation systems, storm
drains, and parkland and open space facilities (the “Acquisition Facilities”), and the design,
planning, engineering, installation, and construction of certain public facilities and
improvements, to be owned, operated or maintained by the City (the “Public Facilities”) to
satisfy the obligation of the Property and the Developer for the payment of certain fees to the
City. The Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities are generally described in Exhibit A
attached hereto, which Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities are necessary to the
development of the Property. Said community facilities district shall be known as the
“Community Facilities District No. 2022-2 (Palm) of the City of San Bernardino” (the

installation, and construction of the Public Facilities and expenses incidental thereto.
Packet Pg. 491

E. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meaning set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference herein incorporated.
AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual
covenants hereinafter contained, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of District. The City shall initiate proceedings pursuant to
the Act for the establishment of the District. Such proceedings include elections pursuant to
Sections 53326, 53350 and 53353.5 of the Act on (i) the question of the issuance of the Bonds of
the District to finance the acquisition of the Acquisition Facilities, and the design, planning,
engineering, construction management, financing, installation and construction or acquisition of
the Public Facilities, including the direct payment to the City for such Public Facilities, (ii) the
question of the annual levy of the Special Taxes on those portions of the Property subject to the
Special Taxes to pay directly for the Acquisition Facilities and the Public Facilities and to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the annual administrative expenses of the City in
levying and collecting such Special Taxes, paying the principal and interest on such Bonds and
providing for the registration, exchange and transfer of such Bonds, including the fees of fiscal
agents and paying agents, and any necessary replenishment of the reserve fund for such Bonds,
and (iii) the question of the establishment of an appropriations limit for the District.
From time to time prior to the issuance of the Bonds, at the written request of
Developer, and subject to Developer advancing funds as determined by the City as necessary to
pay all costs related thereto in accordance with Section 4 below, the City shall use its reasonable
best efforts to undertake proceedings which may be deemed necessary to amend the Rate and
Method or to amend the boundaries of the District.
Section 2. Payment of City Fees as Deposit. Developer shall timely pay or deposit
with the City in full when due all City Fees. Any payment or deposit of City Fees before Special
Taxes are received or proceeds of the Bonds become available, including all City Fees paid prior
to the execution of this Agreement, shall be held on deposit by the City in a separate account
used exclusively for City Fees (the “Deposit Account”), and shall not be expended by the City,
provided, however, earnings on the investment of funds in the Deposit Account shall be returned
to the City. Except as otherwise provided below, if Bonds have not been issued for a period of
36 months from the date of payment of City Fees for the first phase of production units, then the
City may use any funds remaining in the Deposit Account for their lawful purposes and such
funds shall be deemed by the City as the payment of the City Fees for the applicable parcels of
the Property for which payment was made, provided that if Developer requests that Bonds be
issued within such 36 month time frame, then the City may not use any funds remaining in the
Deposit Account as provided herein until 48 months from the date of payment of City Fees for
the first phase of production units. If the City uses any of the funds remaining in the Deposit
Account under either of the two foregoing scenarios, the Developer, or Developer’s designee,
shall be reimbursed from the proceeds of Bonds subsequently issued even if such Bonds must be
issued on a taxable basis.
Packet Pg. 492

Immediately upon the City receiving proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with
this Agreement, the City shall return to Developer, or Developer’s designee, all funds held in the
Deposit Account. In addition, prior to the issuance of Bonds, to the extent Special Taxes in the
Special Fund are available to be disbursed for Public Facilities in accordance with Section
6(a)(3) below, an equal amount of funds held in the Deposit Account shall be returned to
Developer.
Section 3. Sale of Bonds. Upon Developer’s written request, the City shall use its
reasonable best efforts, as hereinafter provided, to issue and sell Bonds, in one or more series, in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Financing District Policy. Each series
of Bonds is expected to have a debt service amortization schedule matching the annual Special
Taxes available for debt service pursuant to the Rate and Method and for a term of not more than
forty (40) years, for the purpose of raising an amount sufficient to pay for the design, planning,
engineering, construction management, financing, installation and construction or acquisition of
the Public Facilities and the Acquisition Facilities. In connection with the issuance of the first
series of Bonds, the City on behalf of itself and the District shall establish criteria for the
issuance of Additional Bonds which meet the criteria of the Financing District Policy. The
timing of the issuance and sale of each series of Bonds, the aggregate principal amount thereof,
and the terms and conditions upon which they shall be sold shall be as set forth in this
Agreement and otherwise as determined by the City in its sole reasonable discretion after
consultation with Developer. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, the timing of the
issuance and sale of the first series of Bonds and any Additional Bonds shall be as soon as
reasonably practicable, as determined by the City in its sole reasonable discretion following
consultation with its financial advisor, underwriter and other consultants and counsel after
written request from Developer. Developer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with
City in connection with any Bond sale.
Section 4. Advance of Certain Expenses. Pursuant to a Developer Deposit
Agreement, between the City and Developer (the “Deposit Agreement”), Developer shall pay
and advance all of the costs reasonably associated with the establishment of the District.
Developer shall deposit funds with the City for the City’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
associated with a sale of each series of Bonds, including, but not limited to, (i) the fees and
expenses of any consultants and legal counsel to the City employed in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds, including an engineer, special tax consultant, financial advisor, bond
counsel and any other consultant deemed necessary or advisable by the City, (ii) the costs of
appraisals, market absorption and feasibility studies and other reports deemed necessary or
advisable by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, (iii) the costs of publication
of notices and other costs related to any proceeding undertaken in connection with the issuance
of the Bonds, (iv) reasonable charges for City staff time incurred in connection with the issuance
of the Bonds, including a reasonable allocation of City overhead expense, and (v) any and all
other actual costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds
(“Reimbursable Expenses”). If the Bonds are issued by the District, the City shall reimburse
Developer from proceeds of the Bonds, without interest, for the portion of the Reimbursable
Expenses deposits that have been expended or encumbered, said reimbursement to be made from
the proceeds of the Bonds on the date of issuance of the Bonds or as soon as reasonably possible
thereafter and only to the extent otherwise permitted under the Act, and refund any unexpended
or encumbered deposited amounts. If the Special Taxes are levied and collected, the City may
Packet Pg. 493
4
reimburse Developer from the receipts of Special Taxes (net of amounts required to pay District
administrative expenses), without interest, for the portion of the deposits paid by Developer
pursuant to the Deposit Agreement that have been expended or encumbered, said reimbursement
from receipts of Special Taxes to be made on or before the end of each fiscal year; provided,
however, that the City may retain such collected Special Taxes in the amounts that it deems
reasonably necessary to facilitate the issuance of the Bonds.
The City shall keep records of all Reimbursable Expenses advanced by the City
pursuant to this Section 4, which records shall be available for inspection by Developer during
regular business hours. The sole source of funds for reimbursement of any advance expenditure
made by the City or Developer shall be the uncommitted and unexpended payments made by
Developer to the City, proceeds of the Bonds, or Special Tax receipts as determined by the City.
Section 5. Tax Requirements. The timing of the sale of each series of Bonds, the
nature of the investments in which the proceeds of the Bonds shall be invested, the duration of
such investments, and the timing of the expenditure of such proceeds shall be as set forth in this
Agreement and the applicable fiscal agent agreement (the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”); provided,
that in all such matters City shall comply with the requirements of and limitations prescribed by
the provisions of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”), as amended, and the implementing regulations of the United States Department of the
Treasury. The City shall not be required to take any such action which in the opinion of the
City’s bond counsel could result in the Bonds being classified by the United States Department
of the Treasury as “arbitrage bonds” or which could otherwise result in the interest on the Bonds
being included in gross income for purposes of Federal income taxation. Should any change in
or regulatory interpretation of any such requirement or limitation which may occur after the date
of this Agreement require or necessitate, in the reasonable opinion of such bond counsel, any
action on the part of the City in order to avoid such a classification or loss of tax exemption, the
City shall notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, forthwith take such action. In the
event the City fails to comply with requirements set forth above in this Section 5, the City’s
liability is limited to the Special Tax revenues generated by the District.
Section 6. Priority and Allocation of Special Taxes and Bond Proceeds.
(a) Special Taxes Prior to the Issuance of Bonds.
Prior to the issuance of Bonds, Special Taxes may be levied at the
discretion of the City on Developed Property pursuant to the Rate and Method in and following
the first fiscal year in which an Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Developed Property until the
issuance of the final series of Bonds.
Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the proceeds of the
Special Taxes shall be allocated in the following priority:
(1) first, to pay all reasonable costs of administration of the District;
(2) second, to pay eligible costs reasonably determined by the City to
be necessary to facilitate the issuance of Bonds within the next six (6) months; and
Packet Pg. 494
5
(3) third, the amount remaining after payment of the amounts for (1)
and (2) shall be deposited in the Special Fund and disbursed first to reimburse prior deposits paid
by Developer to City pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, then to fund the Acquisition Facilities
and/or Public Facilities.
(b) Special Taxes Following the Issuance of Bonds. Following the issuance
of the first series of Bonds and continuing until the issuance of the final series of Bonds, the City
shall levy Special Taxes on all Assessor’s Parcels classified as Developed Property at the
Assigned Special Tax amount pursuant to the Rate and Method or such lesser amount which
complies with the Fiscal Agent Agreement. In years in which there is no levy of Special Taxes
on Undeveloped Property, the priority for allocation of the Special Taxes collected from
Developed Property shall be as follows:
(1) first, to fund an amount up to the annual Administrative Expense
Requirement;
(2) second, to pay principal and interest on outstanding Bonds and to
replenish the reserve fund to the applicable reserve fund requirement;
(3) third, to fund all actual administrative expenses in excess of the
Administrative Expense Requirement; and
(4) fourth, all remaining amounts shall reduce special tax levies in
subsequent fiscal years.
(c) Bond Proceeds. The proceeds of all Bonds shall be allocated and
disbursed according to the following priorities:
(1) first, to fund all costs of issuance of the Bonds including (i) a
reserve fund for the Bonds which does not exceed the amount permitted under the Code or the
Act, (ii) capitalized interest for at least the period required to collect sufficient Special Taxes
through the annual levy, or a longer period requested by Developer, not to exceed an amount
equal to two years interest, or such lesser amount as the City shall determine pursuant to the
Financing District Policy, (iii) the underwriter’s discount, (iv) the Reimbursable Expenses, and
(v) bond counsel fees, disclosure counsel fees, financial advisor, appraisal and market absorption
consultant fees, special tax consultant fees, fiscal agent or trustee fees and other typical and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance and sale
of the Bonds;
(2) second, to reimburse, without interest, prior deposits paid by
Developer to City pursuant to the Deposit Agreement and this Agreement related to formation of
the District and issuance of the Bonds; and
(3) third, to fund the Acquisition Facilities (including any costs
incurred by the City for processing Payment Requests) and/or Public Facilities in satisfaction of
an amount equal to City Fees for which Special Taxes were insufficient to pay, as may be
determined by the City in consultation with Developer.

Section 7. Construction of Acquisition Facilities. The Acquisition Facilities for
which Developer seeks reimbursement under this Agreement shall be constructed and completed
by Developer, as determined by the City pursuant to Section 53313.5 of the Act. Payment of the
Purchase Price of the Acquisition Facilities shall be in the manner described in Section 8 hereof.
Section 8. Acquisition and Payment of Acquisition Facilities.
(a) Inspection. City agrees that the Acquisition Facilities are eligible for
payment, provided that the timing and amount of such payment shall be determined by the City
pursuant to this Section 8 of this Agreement. No payment hereunder shall be made by the City
to Developer for an Acquisition Facility until such Acquisition Facility has been inspected by the
City or other applicable public entity or utility and found to be substantially completed in
accordance with the approved Plans. An Acquisition Facility shall be considered “substantially
complete” when it has been reasonably determined by the City or other applicable public entity
to be usable, subject to final completion of such items as the final lift or any other items not
essential to the primary use or operation of the Acquisition Facility. For Acquisition Facilities to
be acquired by the City, Developer shall request inspection using applicable City procedures.
For Acquisition Facilities to be acquired by other public entities or utilities, Developer shall be
responsible for obtaining such inspections and providing written evidence thereof to the City
Engineer. Developer agrees to pay all inspection, permit and other similar fees of the City
applicable to construction of the Acquisition Facilities, which fees are subject to reimbursement
under this Agreement.
(b) Agreement to Sell and Purchase Acquisition Facilities. Developer hereby
agrees to sell the Acquisition Facilities to the City and the City hereby agrees to use amounts
available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to pay the Purchase Price, as defined below,
thereof to Developer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The City shall not be obligated
to pay the Purchase Price for the Acquisition Facilities except from the proceeds of the Bonds
and proceeds of the Special Tax as provided herein.
(c) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for an Acquisition Facility shall be
equal to the Actual Cost of such Acquisition Facility, as approved in accordance with the
procedure set forth in subsection (e) below but subject to the limitations of this Section 8.
(d) Payment Requests. In order to receive the Purchase Price for an
Acquisition Facility, Developer shall deliver to the City Manager or his designee a Payment
Request in the form of Exhibit C hereto, together with all attachments and exhibits required by
this Section 8(d) to be included therewith. If the property on which the Acquisition Facility is
located is not owned by the City at the time of the request, Developer shall provide a copy of the
recorded documents conveying to the City Acceptable Title to the real property on, in or over
which such Acquisition Facility is located, as described in Section 9(a) hereof.
(e) Processing Payment Requests. Upon receipt of a Payment Request (and
all accompanying documents), the City Manager or his designee shall conduct a review in order
to confirm that such request is complete and to verify and approve the Actual Cost of the
Acquisition Facility. The City Manager or his designee shall also conduct such review as is
required in his/her discretion to confirm the matters certified in the Payment Request. Developer
Packet Pg. 496
7
agrees to cooperate with the City Manager or his designee in conducting each such review and to
provide the City Manager or his designee with such additional information and documentation as
is reasonably necessary for the City Manager or his designee to conclude each such review.
Within 20 business days of receipt of the Payment Request, the City Manager or his designee
expects to review the request for completeness and notify Developer whether such Payment
Request is complete, and, if not, what additional documentation must be provided. If such
Payment Request is complete, the City Manager or his designee expects to provide a written
approval or denial (specifying the reason for any denial) of the request within 30 days of its
submittal.
(f) Payment. Upon approval of the Payment Request by the City Manager or
his designee, the City Manager or his designee shall sign the Payment Request and forward the
same to the Finance Director of the City. Upon receipt of the reviewed and fully signed Payment
Request, the Finance Director of the City shall, within the then current City financial accounting
payment cycle but in any event within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the approved
Payment Request, cause the same to be paid by the Fiscal Agent under the applicable provisions
of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, to the extent of funds then on deposit in the appropriate account.
The Purchase Price paid hereunder for the Acquisition Facilities shall constitute
payment in full for the Acquisition Facilities, including, without limitation, payment for all labor,
materials, equipment, tools and services used or incorporated in the work, supervision,
administration, overhead, expenses and any and all other things required, furnished or incurred
for completion of the Acquisition Facilities.
(g) Timing of Requisitions. The City and Developer acknowledge that
(i) Developer may submit a Payment Request for an Acquisition Facility to the City in advance
of when sufficient, if any, funds are available for payment of the Purchase Price; (ii) the Payment
Request submitted when there are insufficient proceeds available will be reviewed by the City as
set forth in this Agreement and, if appropriate, approved for payment when such funds are
available and (iii) the payment approved in the preceding manner will be deferred until the date,
if any, on which there are proceeds of Special Taxes or Bonds available to make all or part of
such payment, at which time the city will pay from the Special Fund or direct the Fiscal Agent to
wire transfer (or pay in another mutually acceptable manner) from Bond proceeds the funds
available to the payee identified in such Payment Request.
(h) Restrictions on Payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, the following restrictions shall apply to any payments made to Developer under
Sections 8(b) and 8(f) hereof:
(1) Amounts of Payments. Subject to the following paragraphs of this
Section 8(h), payments for the Acquisition Facilities will be made only in the amount of the
Purchase Price for the Acquisition Facilities.
Nothing herein shall require the City in any event (i) to pay more than the
Actual Cost of the Acquisition Facilities, or (ii) to make any payment beyond the available funds
in the Special Fund or the applicable accounts identified in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all payments to Developer for the Purchase Price of
Packet Pg. 497
8
the Acquisition Facilities are intended to be reimbursements to Developer for monies already
expended or for immediate payment by Developer (or directly by the City) to third parties in
respect of the Acquisition Facilities.
(2) Joint or Third Party Payments. The City may make any payment
jointly to Developer and any mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary, contractor or supplier of
materials, as their interests may appear, or solely to any such third party, if Developer so requests
the same in writing or as the City otherwise determines such joint or third party payment is
necessary to obtain lien releases.
(3) Withholding Payments. The City shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to withhold any payment hereunder for the Acquisition Facilities if the Owners or any
Affiliate are delinquent in the payment of ad valorem real property taxes, special assessments or
taxes, or Special Taxes levied in the District. In the event of any such delinquency, the City shall
only make payments hereunder directly to contractors or other third parties employed in
connection with the construction of the Acquisition Facilities or to any assignee of Developer’s
interests in this Agreement (and not to Developer or any Affiliate), until such time as Developer
provides the City Manager with evidence that all such delinquent taxes and assessments have
been paid.
The City shall withhold final payment for an Acquisition Facility
constructed on land until Acceptable Title to such land is conveyed to the City, as described in
Section 9 hereof.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Developer from
contesting in good faith the validity or amount of any mechanics or materialman’s lien nor limit
the remedies available to Developer with respect thereto so long as such delay in performance
shall not subject the Acquisition Facility to foreclosure, forfeiture or sale. In the event that any
such lien is contested, Developer shall only be required to post or cause the delivery of a bond in
an amount equal to the amount in dispute with respect to any such contested lien, so long as such
bond is drawn on an obligor and is otherwise in a form acceptable to the City Manager or his
designee.
Nothing in this Section 8(h) shall prevent payments pursuant to Section 6.
(i) Modification of Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities. The
descriptions of the Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities in Exhibit A may be modified, or
new Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities may be added to Exhibit A, through a
Supplement executed by the City Manager and Developer provided the modifications or new
Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities are consistent with the facilities and costs authorized
to be funded by the District pursuant to the formation proceedings and the Act.
Section 9. Ownership and Transfer of Acquisition Facilities.
(a) Conveyance of Land and Easements to City. Acceptable Title to all
property on, in or over which the Acquisition Facilities will be located, shall be deeded over to
the City by way of grant deed, quitclaim, or dedication of such property, or easement thereon, if
such conveyance of interest is approved by the City as being a sufficient interest therein to
Packet Pg. 498
9
permit the City to properly own, operate and maintain the Acquisition Facilities located therein,
thereon or thereover, and to permit Developer to perform its obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. Developer agrees to assist the City in obtaining such documents as are required to
obtain Acceptable Title. Completion of the transfer of title to land shall be accomplished prior to
the payment of the Purchase Price for an Acquisition Facility and shall be evidenced by an
irrevocable offer of dedication or recordation of the acceptance thereof by the City Council.
(b) Facilities to be Owned by the City – Title Evidence. Upon the request of
the City, Developer shall furnish to the City a preliminary title report for land with respect to the
Acquisition Facilities that have not previously been dedicated or otherwise conveyed to the City,
for review and approval at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the transfer of Acceptable
Title of the Acquisition Facilities to the City. The City shall approve the preliminary title report
unless it reveals a matter which, in the judgment of the City, could materially affect the City’s
use and enjoyment of any part of the property or easement covered by the preliminary title
report. In the event the City does not approve the preliminary title report, the City shall not be
obligated to accept title to such Acquisition Facility or pay the Purchase Price for the Acquisition
Facility until Developer has cured such objections to title to the satisfaction of the City.
(c) Facilities Constructed on Private Lands. If any portion of an Acquisition
Facility is located on privately-owned land, the owner thereof shall retain title to the land and the
completed Acquisition Facility until the Acquisition Facility is accepted by City and transferred
to City pursuant to this Section 9. Pending the completion of such transfer, Developer shall not
be entitled to receive any payment for the Acquisition Facility. Developer shall, however, be
entitled to receive payments pursuant to Section 8 of the Acquisition Facility upon making an
irrevocable offer of dedication of such land in form and substance acceptable to the City
Manager.
(d) Facilities Constructed on City Land. If any portion of an Acquisition
Facility to be acquired is on land owned by the City, the City hereby grants to Developer a
license to enter upon such land for purposes related to the construction (and maintenance
pending acquisition) of the Acquisition Facility. The provisions for inspection and acceptance of
the Acquisition Facilities otherwise provided herein shall apply.
Section 10. Indemnification. Developer shall promptly defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents, and each and every one of them, and the
District from any and all claims, actions, liability, damages, losses, expenses and costs arising
out of Developer’s performance of, or failure to perform, its duties hereunder or by reason of, or
arising out of, this Agreement.
Section 11. City Policies. The Rate and Method, the sale of the Bonds and the ratio of
the appraised market value of all parcels of property within the District to the total amount of the
assessment and special tax obligation thereof after the issuance and sale of the Bonds (the
“Value-to-Lien Ratio”) shall comply with the Financing District Policy of the City.
Section 12. Representations, Covenants and Warranties of Developer. Developer
represents and warrants for the benefit of the City as follows:
Packet Pg. 499
10
A. Organization. Developer is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of California, is duly qualified to conduct business as a
corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has the
corporate power and corporate authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its
business as now being conducted and as now contemplated.
B. Authority. Developer has the corporate power and corporate
authority to enter into this Agreement, and has taken all action necessary to cause this Agreement
to be executed and delivered by Developer, and this Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by Developer.
C. Binding Obligation. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Developer, enforceable against Developer in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy and other equitable principles.
D. Compliance with Laws. Developer shall not with knowledge
commit, suffer or permit any act to be done in, upon or to the lands of Owners in the District in
violation of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority or any
covenant, condition or restriction now or hereafter affecting the lands in the District or the
Acquisition Facilities.
E. Requests for Payment. Developer represents and warrants that
(i) it will not request payment from the City out of the Special Taxes or proceeds of the Bonds
for the acquisition of any improvements other than the Acquisition Facilities, and (ii) it will
diligently follow all procedures set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Payment Request
for the Acquisition Facilities.
F. Additional Information. Developer agrees to cooperate with all
reasonable written requests for nonproprietary information by the original purchasers of the
Bonds or the City related to the status of construction of improvements within the District, the
anticipated completion dates for future improvements, and any other matter material to the
investment quality of the Bonds.
G. Continuing Disclosure. Developer agrees to comply with all of its
obligations under any continuing disclosure agreement executed by it in connection with the
offering and sale of any of the Bonds. Developer shall cooperate with City in complying with the
requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with
the issuance and sale of the Bonds. Developer shall provide information to the City regarding its
operations and financial condition as such information has been disclosed in the Official
Statement. The City, in consultation with the underwriter of the Bonds, may determine that some
or all of such financial information will be included in the preliminary official statement and the
final official statement for the Bonds. If Developer owns property within the District responsible
for more than 20% of the Special Taxes levied in such fiscal year, then Developer acknowledges
that it may be an “obligated person” for purposes of compliance with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and that it may therefore be necessary that Developer enter
into a continuing disclosure undertaking, at the time of and in connection with the issuance and
sale of the Bonds, that so long as it remains an obligated person it will semi-annually, at the time
Packet Pg. 500
11
specified in such undertaking, provide information regarding its financial condition, including, at
the City’s discretion, such regularly submitted periodic reports and financial statements prepared
by Developer’s certified public accountant which are available to the investing public (which
may be consolidated with Developer’s parent company) and the status of development and
residential and land sale activity within the District to be included within the semi-annual reports
which Developer, or a dissemination agent designated in such undertaking, will file with the
Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repositories which are identified by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and any state information repository that may be
designated for the State of California, as required by that rule. Copies of all such reports shall
also be provided to the City and the underwriter of the Bonds. Developer further acknowledges
that it may be an obligated person pursuant to such rule as long as it owns property within the
District that is responsible for the payment of annual Special Taxes which represent 20% or more
of the annual debt service on the Bonds. The Developer shall notify the Owners who own
property within the District which will be responsible for the payment of annual Special Taxes
which represent 20% or more of the annual debt service on the Bonds that it will be an obligated
person for purposes of the rule and that such entity will be required to enter into a continuing
disclosure undertaking as provided in this section.
Section 13. Independent Contractor. Developer is an independent contractor and not
the agent of the City or the District. This Agreement shall not and does not create a joint venture
or partnership between the City and Developer. The City shall have no responsibility or liability
for the payment of any amount to any employee or subcontractor of Developer.
Section 14. Special Taxes. The parties are entering into this Agreement and
establishing the District for the purpose of creating a stream of Special Tax revenues that will be
available to the District to pay directly the costs of acquisition, construction and/or equipping the
Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities and to pay debt service on the Bonds, the proceeds of
which will be used to pay the costs of acquisition, construction and/or equipping of the
Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities. Developer and City hereby acknowledge and agree
(i) that any reduction or termination of the Special Taxes by exercise of the initiative power or
other action would constitute a substantial impairment of the Special Tax revenue stream that
Developer and City intend to create for the purpose of providing an assured source of funding for
construction, acquisition and/or equipping of the Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities, and
(ii) that this Agreement is being entered into, and the Special Taxes are being imposed upon the
Property pursuant to the Rate and Method, in accordance with existing laws relating to the
imposition of fees and charges as a condition of development of the Property and such Special
Taxes are being incurred as an incident of the voluntary act of development of the Property.
Section 15. Disclosure of Special Taxes.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, Developer shall provide a
“Notice of Special Tax” (as defined in Section 15(b) below) to each prospective purchaser of a
home in the District prior to the execution by the home buyer of the sale contract for such home.
Developer shall (i) maintain records of each Notice of Special Tax for a period of five (5) years,
and (ii) shall provide copies of each notice to City promptly following the giving of such notice.
Developer shall include the Notice of Special Tax in all Developer’s applications for Final
Packet Pg. 501
12
Subdivision Reports required by the Department of Real Estate (“DRE”) which are filed after the
effective date of this Agreement.
Developer shall require of a builder acquiring lots within the Property (a
“Residential Builder”), prior to the close of escrow on any residential lot, to (i) maintain records
of each Notice of Special Tax for a period of five (5) years, (ii) provide copies of each notice to
City promptly following the giving of such notice, and (iii) include the Notice of Special Tax in
all of such Residential Builder’s applications for Final Subdivision Reports required by DRE.
(b) With respect to any parcel, the term “Notice of Special Tax” means a
notice in the form prescribed by California Government Code Section 53341.5 which is
calculated to disclose to the purchaser thereof (i) that the property being purchased is subject to
the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District; (ii) the classification of such property;
(iii) the maximum annual amount of the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District and
the number of years for which they are authorized to be levied; and (iv) the types of facilities and
services to be paid with the proceeds of the Special Taxes and other special taxes of the District.
(c) City will file with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s office a notice of
special tax lien that gives notice of the existence of the District and the levy of the Special Tax
on property within the District for the benefit of subsequent property owners, pursuant to
requirements of Section 3114.5 of the Streets and Highways Code.
(d) Sample Property Tax Bill/Special Tax Information Sheet. Developer and
its successors and assigns shall prepare and have available in its sales office, copies of either a
sample property tax bill in a form reasonably acceptable for the City or special tax information
sheet in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Special Tax Information
Sheet”), which shows the assigned annual Special Taxes and other special taxes authorized to be
levied within the District under the Rate and Method. Developer and its successors and assigns
shall make available to prospective homebuyers to take with them, copies of such sample
property tax bill or Special Tax Information Sheet at the time written information regarding the
base home price and property tax information for a specific home site is requested by and
provided to such homebuyers. Developer intends to comply with this requirement by providing
prospective homebuyers who request such additional written information, with the sample
property tax bill in the Master Property Disclosure Report, a copy of which has presented to and
approved by the City.
Section 16. Termination and Dissolution. Prior to the issuance of Bonds, Developer
may elect to terminate this Agreement and request that the City cancel the Special Taxes by
providing written notice to the City. Within thirty (30) days of such written notice, City shall
record a notice of cancellation of the Special Taxes with respect to each parcel. Developer shall
be responsible for reasonable City costs incurred relating to the cancellation of the Special Taxes
and recordation of such notice; provided, however, that the City shall not terminate the Special
Taxes for any lot for which a building permit has been issued, unless Developer pays all City
fees or posts separate security therefore. Such termination of this Agreement and cancellation of
Special Taxes shall have no effect on Developer’s obligations to pay City Fees upon issuance of
a building permit.

Section 17. Binding on Community Facilities District. The District shall automatically
become a party to this Agreement, and all provisions hereof which apply to the City shall also
apply to the District. The City Council of the City, acting as the legislative body of the District,
shall perform all parts of this Agreement which require performance on the part of the District.
Section 18. Assignment. Upon the successful formation of the District, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto
and shall run with the land without any further action of the City or Developer unless terminated
in writing pursuant to Section 16.
Section 19. Prompt Action. All consents, approvals and determinations required of
either the City or Developer pursuant to this Agreement shall be promptly given or made, and

agreement between the parties with respect to the matters herein provided for. This Agreement
may only be amended by a subsequent written agreement signed on behalf of both parties. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
parties. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the Constitution and laws of the
State of California. Should either party to this Agreement commence a court action or
proceeding against the other party with respect to this Agreement or the design and acquisition or
construction of the Acquisition Facilities, the party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall
be entitled to receive from the losing party its attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and
other costs incurred by it in prosecuting or defending such action or proceeding. The captions of
the sections of this Agreement are provided for convenience only, and shall not have any bearing
on the interpretation of any section hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original of the same agreement.

benefits for the position of City Council Member, provide direction for
modification, adopt the recommendation from the Elected
Official Compensation Committee as presented, or receive and file; and
2. If decided by the Mayor and City Council: introduce, read by title only, and
waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1595 of the Mayor and City
Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter
2.82.020 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to adjust the salary and
benefits of the City Council Members as recommended by the Elected
Official Compensation Advisory Commission.
Background
On September 21, 2022, an ordinance adjusting the salary and benefits for the position
of City Council Member was brought before the Mayor and City Council as a Public
Hearing item. It was decided that the item would be brought back for consideration
after all bargaining groups had entered into their respective labor agreements with the
City.
All labor agreements have not yet been executed; however, this item is being brought
back earlier than anticipated to allow the Mayor and City Council the opportunity to
possibly adopt an ordinance that would be effective upon the commencement of the
terms of council members elected at the next regular election (i.e., following
Packet Pg. 513
8

1
certification of the November 2022 election). If the adoption of a proposed ordinance
is delayed beyond the November 2022 election, the effective date of the ordinance
would be after the following regular election (i.e., November 2024).
The San Bernardino City Charter establishes the authority for setting compensation of
the Mayor and City Council Members. Specifically, City Charter Article III, Section 305
titled “Compensation; Expenses” states:
“Compensation for the Mayor and Council Members shall be established by
ordinance following a public hearing, giving due consideration to the
recommendations of an advisory commission charged with the periodic
review of compensation for City-elected officials. Compensation for the
Mayor shall be commensurate with that for a full-time position.
No ordinance increasing such salaries shall become effective until the date
of commencement of the terms of Council Members elected at the next
regular election. The Mayor and Council Members shall receive
reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the
performance of their duties of office.”
The Mayor and City Council established the Elected Official Compensation Advisory
Commission on February 21, 2018 (Ordinance MC-1463). The nine-member
commission was tasked with serving in an advisory capacity to the Mayor and City
Council in making recommendations relating to the compensation of city-elected
officials. The commission conducts compensation surveys of city-elected officials in
other California charter and/or general law cities, reviews Government Code provisions
for compensation of city-elected officials and provides compensation
recommendations to the Mayor and City Council pursuant to Section 305 of the City
Charter. Recently, in response to direction from the City Council, the Elected Officials
Compensation Advisory Commission was reactivated. The Elected Officials
Compensation Advisory Commission has met (5) five times since October 2021
(October 13, 2021; November 10, 2021; November 30, 2021; January 10, 2022; and
March 7, 2022).
Currently, the San Bernardino Municipal Code defines the compensation for both the
Mayor and City Council Members. More specifically, the compensation for City Council
Members, is noted in Section 2.82.020 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (titled
“Compensation of City Council Members”), which states:
“Commencing January 1, 2019, each City Council Member shall receive the following
compensation:
A. Annual salary of $14,000;
B. Employer health benefits contribution equivalent to that offered by the City to
management employees; and
C. An auto allowance of $500 per month.
Packet Pg. 514

The compensation set forth herein shall be paid without regard to the number of City
Council meetings attended by the applicable City Council Member. Any City Council
Member may waive all or any portion of her or his compensation. The compensation
set forth herein is exclusive of any amounts payable to a City Council Member as per
day compensation for City business-related travel and further exclusive of any amounts
payable to a City Council Member for out-of-town attendance on City-related business.”
Discussion
The Commission commenced on October 13, 2021, and reviewed the methodology
previously used to establish elected official salaries in 2018. The Commission agreed
to use the same 12 cities with part-time Council Members that were used in 2018.
Per the Commission’s October 13, 2021 directive, staff surveyed cities to gather
additional information or verify the information available on their respective websites.
The salary and total compensation for City Council members is presented in
Attachment 1. Because most salaries are governed by Charter or Municipal Code, the
salary increases were modest. The City of San Bernardino’s data includes the
increases in benefits presented in the salary and benefits resolution for Management
and Confidential employees approved at the November 3, 2021 City Council meeting.
The average annual salary for part-time City Council Members is $17,188, compared
to San Bernardino’s Council pay of $14,000. As depicted in Attachment 2, the City of
San Bernardino’s benefits exceed the average. As such, the City’s total compensation
also exceeds the part-time City Council’s average.
As outlined in the City of San Bernardino Charter, the City Council has the authority to
adjust the compensation package of elected officials including the position of City
Council Member by ordinance following a public hearing, while giving due
consideration to the recommendations of an advisory commission. At its March 7,
2022, meeting, the Elected Officials Compensation Advisory Commission
recommended the following:
A. Annual Salary of $21,000
B. Employer health benefits contribution equivalent to that offered by the City
to management employees;
C. An auto allowance of $725 per month;
D. $125 per meeting when acting as an official City Council representative,
outside of regular Council Member duties, for attending any meeting at the
request of City Council and on behalf of the City of San Bernardino. For
example, acting as the City’s representative to a Board. Attendance at
meetings in which the Council Member is not acting as a representative of
the City Council shall not be compensated; and
E. Annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) equivalent to that offered by the
Packet Pg. 515
8
2
1
City to management employees.
The Commission recommended for the City Council Members annual salary to amount
to $21,000, to align with the Cities of Fontana and Moreno Valley as they had similar
population sizes to the City of San Bernardino. Both cities also offer additional monies
to Council Members who attend specific meetings. Furthermore, the Commission
emphasized the importance of compensating elected leaders at levels suitable to
attract a diverse talent pool and to provide adequate compensation for this region while
serving the City.
At present, the Mayor and City Council, after discussing the survey results may
consider whether to, and to what degree, the salary and benefits for the position of City
Council Member should be adjusted as recommended by the Elected Official
Compensation Advisory Commission. It is important to underscore that any salary and
benefit adjustments would be effective on the date of commencement of Council
Members elected at the next regular election.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Reviewing and discussing the salary of the City Council Members to appropriately
reflect the duties of the office following the 2016 amendment of the City Charter aligns
with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with preparing the salary survey and with the
Mayor and City Council introducing and waiving further reading of Ordinance No. MC-
1595.
Should Mayor and City Council elect to adopt the recommendation of the Commission
without any changes, the fiscal impact would be approximately $40,000 in FY 2022/23
and $83,000 in FY 2023/24.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Review and consider the information provided for adjusting the salary and
benefits for the position of City Council Member, provide direction for modification,
adopt the recommendation from the Elected Official Compensation Committee as
presented, or receive and file; and
2. If decided by the Mayor and City Council: introduce, read by title only, and waive
further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1595 of the Mayor and City Council of the
City of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter 2.82.020 of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code to adjust the salary and benefits of the City Council
Members as recommended by the Elected Official Compensation Advisory

Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services); and

Background
On July 20, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-139, a
Resolution of Intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District No. 2019-1
(Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the “Resolution of Intention”),
pursuant to the provisions of the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”. A
public hearing was set for September 7, 2022, on the proposed annexation of the said
territory into the community facilities district. The City Council cancelled the September
7, 2022, meeting and voted to amend the date of the Public Hearing to October 5,
2022. As required by the Resolution of Intention, a boundary map was recorded on
July 26, 2022, at 11:21 a.m. in Book 90 Page 46, Document No. 2022-0258077 of
Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts with the San Bernardino
County Recorder.
The Resolution of Intention was adopted by the Mayor and City Council in response to
a petition filed by the property owner of approximately 10.10 gross acres of a vacant
residential lot within the City, requesting that the City assist them in annexing their
properties into CFD No. 2019-1 under the Mello-Roos Act. The proposed project will
consist of 95 detached single-family lots. The State legislature enacted the Mello-Roos
Act in 1982 to assist public agencies in financing certain public improvements by either
issuing tax exempt securities that are repaid by annual levy of special taxes, or to
provide for the financing of on-going public services. The landowner requested the
City annex into CFD No. 2019-1 to levy a special tax to cover the costs associated with
the maintenance of public improvements. The public facilities and services proposed
to be financed within the territory to be annexed to the District are the following:
1. Public lighting and appurtenant facilities, including streetlights within public
rights-of-way and traffic signals; and
2. Maintenance of streets, including pavement management, and provide street
sweeping; and
3. Maintenance of parks; and
4. Graffiti abatement; and
5. City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of the
special tax, and in the administration of the District, including the contract
administration and for the collection of reserve funds.

The proposed area to be annexed into the CFD will be included in Tax Zone 25 and
is located south of W. Highland Avenue, west of Medical Center Drive, as shown in
Attachment #12.
The maximum annual special tax for this development has been calculated to be $191
per unit for FY 2022/23. This tax rate includes a Maximum Special Tax A of $174 per
unit per year for maintenance services of public facilities and a Maximum Annual
Special Tax B (Contingent) of $17 per unit per year. Special Tax B (Contingent) is for
the maintenance and operation of the improvements described in Exhibit “B” attached
hereto. If the Property Owners Association (POA) were to default of its obligation to
maintain such improvements, the City would be able to collect funds to pay for those
services. Annual Special Tax A and Annual Special Tax B (Contingent) rate are
proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%.
The property owners have agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation
proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act of 1982. The property owners have
submitted a “Consent and Waiver” form on file in the City Clerk’s Office to initiate and
conduct proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act in 1982, for the annexation into
the CFD and consenting to the shortening of election time requirements, waiving
analysis and arguments, and waiving all notice requirements relating to the conduct
of the election.
To annex property to CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of California
Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt a series of three
statutorily required Resolutions and an Ordinance which are summarized below:
1. Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities
District No. 2019-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the
rate and method of apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area
(the special tax applies only to properties within the annexation area), adopted
July 20, 2022.
2. Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of
levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District.
3. Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of
the notice of special tax lien.
4. Amend the Ordinance and order the levy and collection of special taxes in the
District.
With the adoption of the Resolutions and the first reading of the amended Ordinance,
the second reading of the amended Ordinance would be scheduled for October 19,
2022.
Discussion
The Resolution of Intention called for a public hearing to be held on September 7, 2022.
The City Council cancelled that meeting and voted to amend the Public Hearing date
to October 5, 2022, on the issue of the annexation of territory into CFD No. 2019-1.
Packet Pg. 526

Under the Mello-Roos Act, the Mayor and City Council must hold the public hearing
and consider any complaints against the formation of the CFD. If the owners of one
half or more of the land within the proposed boundaries of the CFD file written
complaints against the establishment of the CFD, the Council may not create the CFD.
If a majority protest is not filed, the Mayor and City Council may adopt the resolution
establishing the CFD.
Adoption of Resolution No. 2019-178 on July 17, 2019, established CFD 2019-1,
pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 53325.1. After a CFD is
formed, the Mello-Roos Act requires that for any annexations into the CFD an election
be held on the question of whether the proposed special taxes should be levied. The
election requires a two-thirds vote in favor of levying the special tax. The landowners
filed waivers with respect to the conduct of the election pursuant to Government Code
Sections 53326(a) and 53327(b), meaning that the time limits and procedural
requirements for conducting an election under the Mello-Roos Act do not have to be
followed. Accordingly, City staff has already mailed the election ballots to the
landowners and required the ballots to be returned by the close of the public hearing. If
the Mayor and City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-207, it may immediately
proceed to the opening of the ballots and adopt Resolution No. 2022-208 declaring the
results of the election.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No 1. Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. This project will
contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure
designed for long term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible for annual payments of
special taxes. It is estimated, upon full completion of the development, there will be an
annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $16,489 from Special Tax A
to be used to pay for maintenance costs within the development.
On March 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued
within the boundaries of the CFD, will be subject to the special tax for the ensuing
Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year,
prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels
for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied
to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped
property within the boundaries of the CFD.
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer.
By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the
development will be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD
No. 2019-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.

of the special election as soon as the election is closed (on October 5, 2022, or when all qualified
electors have voted) at the City Clerk’s office. At the conclusion of the canvass, the City Clerk
shall declare the results of the election.
(f) Declaration of Results. The City Council shall declare the results of the special
election following the completion of the canvass of the returns and shall cause to be inserted into
its minutes a statement of the results of the special election as ascertained by the canvass of the

directs the City Clerk to file a copy of this resolution and the annexation map of the boundaries of
CFD No. 2019-1 in her office.
SECTION 11. The Mayor and City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity is covered by the general rule
that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the

to CEQA.

to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Kris Watson, Director of Animal Services
Department:Animal Services
Subject:Purchase Authorization and Multiple Year Contract with
HLP, Inc. for Animal Shelter Software Services
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1.Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with HLP
Inc., for animal shelter software services from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025; and
2. Authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order
to HLP Inc., in an amount not to exceed $150,000 over the three-year period of the
contract.
Background
The Animal Services Department has been utilizing HLP, Inc.’s Chameleon Animal
Shelter Software since March of 2003. The Chameleon Software system is an all-
encompassing animal shelter database, allowing agencies to enter and track animal
impounds, veterinary treatment, medication, field activities, dispatch, bite reports,
citations, licensing as well as monies received for services.
Chameleon is utilized by most animal services departments in Southern California,
including San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Orange County, Los Angeles
Packet Pg. 580

County, Ventura County, San Diego County as well as the cities of Los Angeles, Irvine,
Burbank, Rancho Cucamonga, San Francisco, Upland and Redlands. The widespread
utilization of this software allows us to share reports and data across agencies in the
region and nationally at no cost to the Department.
Discussion
Chameleon Software is used in all aspects of work in the Department. Through the
database, staff can track every contact our Department has with an animal and/or their
owner. When animals are impounded into our system, their picture and information
automatically appear on two websites (www.24petconnect.com and
www.petfinder.com) in addition to the City’s website. This allows owners and potential
adopters from outside the City to view the animals at the shelter, increasing
opportunities for owners to find their lost pets and adoption for those searching for a
new pet. The Department contracts with Chameleon to provide the ability for residents
to purchase and renew their dog’s licensing online through our website. Additionally,
Chameleon registers microchips to new or existing owners on a nightly basis through
our database, so that staff no longer needs to rely on owners to complete the microchip
registration and mail it to the microchip company.
There are currently no comparable products in the shelter software market that allow
for the same depth of detail and integration of data and processes that HLP, Inc. offers
through Chameleon. Support for the database, including data back-up are provided by
HLP, inc. with the contract. The staff at HLP, Inc. are quick to respond to staff inquiries
and offer on-line tutorials for their product.
This software is crucial to the work we do daily. To further increase our department’s
efficiency, we are seeking approval to enter a multiple year contract in lieu of creating
a new contract annually. Although the total amount of the quote for a three-year period
comes to $127,563.00, we are seeking a not to exceed amount of $150,000.00 to cover
any additional WebChameleon licenses needed by the department as well as any
potential increase in WebLicensing transactions over the course of the contract.
At the end of the contract period, the Department will again evaluate the shelter
software market for comparable products.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for this multiple year contract aligns with Strategic Goal No.1: Improved
Operational & Financial Capacity. The ability to establish a contract for a period longer
than one fiscal year will improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness
Fiscal Impact
The funds for the Chameleon software program have been included in the
department’s FY 2022/23 operating budget.

original copies of the ISO CG 00 01 (or insurer’s equivalent) signed by the insurer’s
representative and Certificate of Insurance (Acord Form 25-S or equivalent), together with

(A) Vendor shall provide the City at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice of cancellation of any policy required by this Agreement, except that

least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of cancellation or expiration.
(B) The Commercial General Liability Policy and

insurance and that any insurance, self-insurance or other coverage maintained by the
City or any named insureds shall not be called upon to contribute to any loss.
(C) The retroactive date (if any) of each policy is to be
no later than the effective date of this Agreement. Vendor shall maintain such coverage
continuously for a period of at least three years after the completion of the work under
this Agreement. Vendor shall purchase a one (1) year extended reporting period A) if the
retroactive date is advanced past the effective date of this Agreement; B) if the policy is

with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Vendor hereby
waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express
waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subvendors.
(E) The limits set forth herein shall apply separately to
each insured against whom claims are made or suits are brought, except with respect to
the limits of liability. Further the limits set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve

other actions available to the City under other provisions of the Agreement or law.
4.5.1.11 Qualifying Insurers.
(A) All policies required shall be issued by acceptable
insurance companies, as determined by the City, which satisfy the following minimum

insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through
surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any
federal law.
4.5.1.12 Additional Insurance Provisions.
(A) The foregoing requirements as to the types and
limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by Vendor, and any approval of said
insurance by the City, is not intended to and shall not in any manner limit or qualify the
liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the provisions concerning indemnification.
(B) If at any time during the life of the Agreement, any
policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these
specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain
the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly
reimbursed by Vendor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from
Vendor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
(C) The City may require the Vendor to provide
complete copies of all insurance policies in effect for the duration of the Project.
(D) Neither the City nor the City Council, nor any
member of the City Council, nor any of the officials, officers, employees, agents or

Agreement.

allow any subcontractors or subvendors to commence work on any subcontract until they

required under this section. Policies of commercial general liability insurance provided
by such subcontractors or subvendors shall be endorsed to name the City as an additional

coverage. If requested by Vendor, City may approve different scopes or minimum limits
of insurance for particular subcontractors or subvendors.
4.5.2 Safety. Vendor shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid
injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out its Services, the Vendor shall

CHAMELEON / CMS SOFTWARE
LICENSE AGREEMENT
This is a legal and binding agreement between the Purchaser and HLP, INC. ("HLP"). The request of the
Purchaser for the Chameleon / CMS Software Package ("CMS") and License, and the acceptance of
payment for such by HLP, is an acceptance of these terms and conditions.
I. GRANT OF LICENSE and USE :
HLP shall grant Purchaser this License for use of CMS at the time of payment. HLP grants no software
licenses whatsoever, either explicitly or implicitly, except by full payment for the CMS Software. This license
entitles the Purchaser the right to install CMS on a single Server unit to be used by any number of Client
Workstations. Additional Servers require additional Licenses, except as stated under Terms and
Restrictions. This License Agreement is with the designated Purchaser only. This Purchaser may not rent,
lease, give, sell or in any way transmit any part of the CMS Software Package to an unauthorized,
unlicensed entity. This is a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to the use of CMS.
II. PAYMENT :
* Payment for CMS is defined as two parts: 1) Cost of initial License and 2) Support and Maintenance. *
The “Cost of initial License” is currently fixed at a published price and is a one time fee.
* The “Support and Maintenance” cost is figured by the size of the Purchaser’s network, and this fee is billed
monthly, quarterly, or annually. The formula is a fixed amount for the Server plus a fixed amount for each
client workstation that uses CMS for daily operations. The amount changes as the numbers of workstations
change unless the Purchaser is paying for “unlimited” users. Annual increases in this fixed, published
amount are limited to the “cost of living index”.
* All of the above payment conditions must be met within 30 days of Invoice date in order for the Purchaser
to hold a current, valid CMS License.
III. OWNERSHIP :
* Title to CMS shall remain with HLP. The CMS product name, software, documentation, and other
material parts of the CMS package are owned by HLP and may not be reproduced in any form, except as
stated under Terms and Restrictions. CMS Software contains the proprietary technology of HLP, INC. * All
modifications, additions, upgrades, and new versions provided for under Support and Maintenance are
considered part of this title and subject to the conditions of this License.
* Purchaser hereby acknowledges HLP's copyright of CMS regardless of whether the copyright notice
appears on CMS or whether it has been filed with the United States Copyright Office.
IV. TERMS and RESTRICTIONS :
* The Purchaser shall receive an executable copy of CMS Software. The Purchaser may load, copy, or
transmit CMS, in whole or in part, only as is necessary for execution, backup, and hot standby.
* Purchaser may modify or merge CMS solely for execution by itself. Any part of this Software included in
such adaptations will continue to be subject to this License.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
Department:City Manager's Office
Subject:2023 National League of Cities Congressional City
Conference Travel Approval (All Wards)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, pre-approve travel to the 2023 National League of Cities Congressional City
Conference for the Mayor and City Council.
Background
On July 20, 2022, the Mayor and City Council preapproved travel for FY 2022/23 for
the following conferences:
•Women in Municipal Government (WIMG) Conference, Sacramento, CA,
August 2022
•League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Long Beach, CA,
September 2022
•National League of Cities City Summit, Kansas City, MO, November 2022
•Southern CA Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Conference
and General Assembly, April-May 2023
•U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting, Washington, DC, January 2023
•U.S. Conference of Mayors Annual Meeting, Columbus, OH, June 2023
•SBCTA City County Conference TBD 2023
From March 26 to March 28, 2023, the National League of Cities (NLC) will be holding
the Congressional City Conference (CCC) in Washington, D.C. The NLC CCC
features policy discussions and general session addresses from local government
Packet Pg. 615

experts, members of Congress, and White House Administration officials. This
conference provides opportunities for municipal leaders to meet directly with federal
officials where they can discuss local issues, top city priorities, and federal funding
opportunities.
Discussion
The Travel Authority and Expense Policy adopted by the Mayor and City Council
requires pre-approval by the Mayor and City Council for any travel by an elected official.
To ensure that the Mayor and City Council can complete travel that is beneficial to the
City for FY 2022/23, staff recommends pre-approving travel to the NLC CCC for the
Mayor and City Council Members. The Mayor and City Council have already pre-
approved travel for seven conferences for FY 2022/23.
The 2023 NLC CCC will serve as a valuable experience for City officials, where they
can interact with federal policymakers and learn more about federal funding
opportunities. At the previous NLC CCC, President Biden gave a keynote speech
discussing the important role local governments play in implementing the American
Rescue Plan Act, and Secretary Buttigieg held a discussion about the local funding
possibilities included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The City of San
Bernardino was awarded $77 million in ARPA funds and is actively researching and
applying for grants that are funded through the BIL and Inflation Reduction Act,
demonstrating the importance these federal funding opportunities play in enhancing
City services and operations. By attending the 2023 NLC CCC and interacting directly
with federal policymakers, City officials will gain valuable insight into the latest funding
opportunities and learn about emerging practices that strengthen local economic
growth.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This item aligns with Key Target No. 1d: Improved Operational and Financial Capacity
– Create a framework for spending decisions, and Key Target No. 2c: Focused,
Alighted Leadership and Unified Community – Re-establish City as the Regional
Leader/County Seat.
Fiscal Impact
Staff is assessing participation and engagement at conferences beneficial to the City.
If needed before current budgets are expended, staff will request an appropriation as
part of the quarterly budget updates to the City Council.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, pre-approve travel to the 2023 National League of Cities Congressional City
Conference for the Mayor and City Council.

Administrative Policy Manual
Subject: Travel Authority and Expense Policy
Purpose: To set forth the policies governing reimbursement for travel expenses and to
establish certain procedures concerning travel authorization, documentation, and
accounting for all Departments, Employees and Elected Officials of the City of San
Bernardino. The City has two objectives when paying travel-related expenses: 1) to
provide employees sufficient funds to execute business on behalf of the City and 2) to
safeguard City funds by paying only reasonable and necessary expenses. This
administrative policy outlines what constitutes a reasonable and necessary expense.
Authority: Resolution No. 2021-212
Scope: Unless otherwise stipulated herein, this policy applies to all City Employees and
Elected Officials. All such employees and officials shall comply with the provisions
outlined in this policy. For City Employees, the Department Director, or their designee,
and for Elected Officials, the Director of Finance is ultimately responsible for ensuring that
travel expenditures comply with this administrative policy and for the thorough review and
approval of all documents necessary for the disbursement of City funds related to travel.
The purpose of the required documentation is to ensure transparency and provide
sufficient evidence to anyone who reviews travel transactions that public funds were
expended in compliance with this administrative policy.
Exemption from Scope
None.
Policy:
The City of San Bernardino encourages attendance at conferences, seminars, meetings
and workshops to enhance an employee’s understanding of his/her duties and
responsibilities. The City will reimburse travel expenditures according to the procedures
outlined in this policy.
Travel is deemed to be official when such travel of City Employees and Elected Officials
are away from the City for the purpose of conducting business of the City, attending
professional meetings, seminars, conferences, training, workshops and other related
meetings. This policy is applicable to all travel, regardless of the source of funds used for
reimbursement.

contingency that may arise in the course of travel or performance of official duties.

The method of transportation used by individuals will be the most practical and
economical, with due consideration given to the time involved, extra meals, lodging costs
and the mission to be accomplished.
The objective of this administrative policy is to ensure the lowest reasonable cost for
travel. It is not intended to create hardships for City Employees or Elected Officials. Each
Department may consider employees’ convenience in providing flexibility to those who
travel by vehicle.
If several employees are authorized to attend the same conference/meeting, the
Department shall coordinate travel arrangements to minimize transportation costs to the
City.

airfare. Employees are expected to take advantage of discounts whenever

their City Purchasing Card (P-Card) to purchase gasoline and/or emergency
repairs whenever practical. Employees without a City P-Card will be reimbursed
for the cost of gasoline and/or emergency repairs (receipts are required). For
additional information on P-Card usage, please see the City of San Bernardino
Purchasing Card Policy.
(b)Rental Vehicles: When renting vehicles, the employee should purchase the blanket
insurance coverage. The appropriate size of the rental vehicles should depend on
such factors as the number of passengers and the amount of luggage or
equipment being carried. If a car rental is approved, the employee may use a City
P-Card or request reimbursement upon return. Receipts must be provided in order
to obtain reimbursement.

reimbursement, the employee’s office is to be used as the starting point per IRS
rules. When an employee is using his/her personal car on a trip and the destination
is more than 300 miles from the employee’s office (one-way), the City will not
reimburse the employee for expenses such as lodging, meals and incidental, while
in transit, which exceed the cost of a 21-day advance round-trip coach airfare. Any
travel time that is greater than the time required to travel by scheduled airlines will
be considered vacation time. Normal travel time will not exceed one day. The City
shall reimburse the employee for the actual mileage involved in the travel.
Reimbursed mileage rate is the Standard Federal Mileage Rate set by the Internal
Revenue Service for the current year. Personal car mileage reimbursements are
made based on the actual mileage. No cash advance for mileage is allowed.
a. Personal car travel reimbursement is limited to the lesser of either the cost
of making the trip by 21-day advance coach airfare or mileage
reimbursement.
b. The City will pay for additional work-related mileage at the destination. A
mileage log or other documentation (i.e. Google map) must be attached to
the Travel Authority & Expense Request form.
c. When travel is by airfare, the City will pay for airport parking expenses. For
airport parking, supporting documentation must be attached to the Travel
Authority & Expense Request form and can be obtained from the airport’s
website. Mileage reimbursement to the airport will be calculated from the
employee’s office per IRS rules.
d. If an employee is driving a personal vehicle outside of the City and has car
failure, the City will pay the expense of towing the vehicle to the nearest
garage, over and above the employee’s personal towing insurance
coverage. The employee must pay for all repairs. The towing and insurance
documentation, reflecting the amount covered, must be attached to the
Travel Authority & Expense Request form.
e. Mileage will not be reimbursed to employees using City vehicles or who
receive auto allowances.
f. To drive a privately owned vehicle on City business, the employee must:
i. Possess a valid California driver’s license.
ii. Carry liability insurance, as required by the State of California.
iii. Acknowledge that any damage to the employee’s personal vehicle
and/or service or repair occurring on the trip will be the employee’s
responsibility, as these costs are included in the City’s per mile cost
reimbursement.

Employees are required to notify Human Resources, Risk Management Division at (909)
384-5308 and the employee’s supervisor as soon as possible (within 24 hours) of any
event, incident or accident related to rental cars or City vehicles. The employee must
complete the “Vehicle Accident Report” form.
Compensation for Travel Time
When travel time exceeds the normal workweek, the City's rules for overtime apply to
those City Employees eligible for overtime pursuant to applicable state and federal laws
or as outlined in the various Memorandums of Understanding. In determining overtime
compensation, normal commute time between the employee’s residence and the
employee’s work location should be deducted from the total travel time. Additionally,
normal unpaid meal periods are not considered work time while traveling. Overtime
eligibility applies equally to drivers and passengers, and should be granted whether the
travel occurs during normal workdays or on weekends or evenings. Elected Officials are
not compensated for travel time.
It is the responsibility of Department Heads, Division Managers and first line supervisors
to schedule travel in a manner that the use of overtime by employees is either not required
or is minimized as much as possible.
Lodging
Actual lodging expenses will be allowed for City Employees and Elected Officials
attending conferences, seminars, meetings, or workshops that are more than 75 miles
from their normal work site. Lodging at destinations that are less than 75 miles from the
normal work site will not be paid for or reimbursed by the City unless it is a multi-day
conference. All lodging must be approved in advance.
The City encourages travelers to stay at conference/venue hotels whenever available. If
these hotels are not available, nearby hotels within easy walking distance or those with
shuttle service to the venue should be considered next. The accommodations used
should be economical but practical. In general, the employee should select the most
reasonably priced accommodations available consistent with the purpose and goals of
the travel and within a reasonable distance of the event.
The City will pay no more than the cost of a single occupancy room. If an employee shares
a room with someone who is not an employee of the City or who is not traveling on City
business and the room cost is higher than the single room rate, the employee is
responsible for paying the difference in cost. Meals ordered through room service will be
subject to the GSA Per Diem Rate.
(a)Hotel Rooms
Packet Pg. 625
Travel Authority and Expense
City of San Bernardino - Administrative Policy Manual
2

a. For events starting before noon, lodging will be provided the night prior
through the last day of the event.
b. Lodging costs may be paid to the hotel directly by the employee, by using
a City P-Card or travel advanced to the employee prior to departure if a City
P-Card is not used.
(b)Lodging expenses shall be reimbursed on an actual cost basis. If a room at a
conference/venue hotel is not available, the City Employee or Elected Official
should attach documentation showing room rates from three hotels in the vicinity
for the same dates, if available, to demonstrate the reasonableness of the lodging
cost for the locale. Printouts from hotel reservation websites are acceptable for this
purpose.
(c)When making lodging reservations in a conference/venue hotel, be sure to ask for
the “group rate” for the conference or event. Most companies who host
seminars/conferences will offer group rates to attendees. On average, group rates
are 15-40% lower than standard rates. If there is no group rate offered, inquire if
there is a “government rate” available. Some cities exempt travelers on
government business from the local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). This can be
as high as 12-15% savings on lodging costs depending on the local TOT rate.
(d)Telephone: Employees should avoid using hotel provided phones whenever
possible. It is recommended that employees who do not have access to a cell
phone purchase a pre-paid calling card. Employees who possess City of San
Bernardino cell phones should use that phone.
(e)Internet: Internet connection fees will be reimbursed at the discretion of the
Department Director.
(f)Incidental Expenses: Incidental expenses covered as part of the GSA Per Diem
Rate for meals and incidental expenses include: fees and tips given to porters,
baggage carriers, bellhops, and restaurant servers.
(g)Itemized receipts for lodging expenditures must be attached to the Travel Authority
& Expense Request form when submitted for processing.
Meals and Incidentals
Meal expenses incurred by City Employees or Elected Officials while traveling shall be
reimbursed according to the GSA Per Diem Rate for the destination, available at
www.gsa.gov/perdiem. If neither the city nor county is specifically listed, the rate for
meals and incidental expenses will be the standard GSA Per Diem destination rate.

The City will pay for meals at scheduled seminars, training sessions, and other meetings
but will not reimburse for meals included in the conference fee. If meals are included in
the conference fee, the Per Diem allowance will be reduced by the amount of the included
meal using the GSA Per Diem breakdown, example below. (M&IE Breakdown, 2021)

Note: This M&IE breakdown is an example. Please refer to the current GSA rates and

A conference itinerary/schedule must be included as supporting documentation. The City
will not pay for social or recreational conference functions that are separate ticketed
events not included in the base conference registration fee without prior approval of the
Director (to be noted on Travel Authority & Expense Request form). Meal related tips are
included in the per diem rate total.
(a)Meals Paid with a Purchasing Card
a. Employees using their P-Card for travel-related meals must retain itemized
receipts and submit them as usual as part of the P-Card process. Use of a
P-Card for meals should be indicated on the Travel Authority & Expense
Request form with copies of the receipts attached.
b. P-Card payment for meals should not exceed the per diem rate established
by the GSA. Any cost in excess of the GSA established per diem rate must
be reimbursed by the employee within ten (10) business days of
reconciliation of travel documents.
c. If the per diem breakdown for a meal is higher than a P-Card payment for
that meal, the P-Card User is not entitled to receive the difference as a
reimbursement.
d. If a meal is purchased with a P-Card and the receipt is lost, or the P-Card
User does not retain the itemized receipt, the User must attach a memo to
the Travel Authority & Expense Request form explaining the lost receipt.
e. While Authorized P-Card Users may use their P-Card to purchase meals
during travel, it is recommended that travelers either request a travel
advance or pay out of pocket and request reimbursement for meals.

i. Using P-Cards to pay for meals requires the retention of itemized
meal receipts while traveling.
ii. There is a greater administrative burden in reconciling both the
Travel Authority & Expense Request form and P-Card transactions
to ensure that expenses are recorded accurately.
(b)Meals Reimbursed or Paid with a Travel Advance
a. Employees paying for meals out of pocket or with a travel advance DO NOT
need to retain receipts. Meals will be reimbursed, or a travel advance
provided at the GSA Per Diem Rate.
If requesting a meal payment or reimbursement for a guest, the City Employee or Elected
Official must include the name and business relationship of the guest to substantiate the
expense. Only actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official
duties will be paid or reimbursed. Meal expenses of family members or those with a
personal relationship with the Elected Official or City Employee will not be paid or
reimbursed, unless a separate and defined business relationship is established and only
if such payment or reimbursement is not prohibited by any other applicable laws, rules,
or regulations.
One-day Travel
Meal payment or reimbursement does not include meals eaten prior to or after a trip. If
travel on City business does not require a full 24-hour day, only meals that are required
as part of the trip, as determined by the City Council, Department Head, or City Manager
will be paid or reimbursed. As a general guideline, if a City Employee is being paid to
work on the day that the expense is incurred, payment or reimbursement will not be
provided for expenses incurred for meals that would typically be eaten before the Elected
Official or City Employee normally leaves his or her home for work or expenses incurred
for meals that would typically be eaten after the Elected Official or City Employee normally
arrives home from work. Travel-related meals will be reimbursed if an overnight stay is
required or if multiple trips are required during two or more consecutive days.
If a Department Director authorizes meal reimbursement for an employee for a daytrip
related to training or other City business and the day-trip is for more than 12 hours and
less than 24 hours, the employee will receive reimbursement at 75% the GSA Per Diem
Rate (travel day rate). If a Department Director authorizes a meal reimbursement for a
day-trip that is less than 12 hours, the employee will receive reimbursement for specific
meals during the trip only. Because IRS regulations identify daytrip meals as taxable to
the employee, any meal reimbursement for a daytrip will be reported on the employee’s
W-2 form and subject to employment taxes in accordance with these regulations. That is,
if travel does not require an overnight stay, meal expenses may be reimbursed with

Department Director approval but must also be added to the employee’s wages for tax
purposes. (IRS Pub. 5137)
Extended Travel
Employees attending training or conferences for an extended time period, more than
seven consecutive days, may elect to purchase groceries and prepare their meals during
their training/conference.
(a) Groceries reimbursed or paid with a travel advance.
a. Employees paying for groceries out of pocket or with a travel advance DO
NOT need to retain receipts. The GSA Per Diem will be calculated in the
aggregate for the extended travel time to determine the amount of the
advance or reimbursement.
b. No individual meals will be reimbursed or included in the travel advance.
c. Any meals provided during the training/conference will be deducted from
the reimbursement/advance amount at the M&IE breakdown amount.
(b) Groceries paid for with a P-Card.

traveling, it is recommended that travelers either request a travel advance
or pay out of pocket and request reimbursement for groceries.
b. If a P-Card is used to purchase the groceries, the employee must retain
and submit grocery receipts and submit them as usual as part of the P-
Card process. Use of a P-Card for groceries must be indicated on the
Travel Authority & Expense Request form with copies of the receipts
attached.
c. Meals purchased in addition to groceries. If meals are also purchased on
a P-Card during extended travel, the employee must retain and submit
itemized receipts and submit them as usual as part of the P-Card process
and use of a P-Card for groceries and meals must be indicated on the
Travel Authority & Expense Request form with copies of the receipts
attached. The total cost of groceries and meals purchased may not
exceed the aggregate Per Diem.

the aggregate must be repaid to the City within ten (10) business days of
reconciliation of travel documents.

(c) The City will not pay for laundry services or dry cleaning.
Payments to Vendors, Cash in Advance and Employee Reimbursement
The City will pay all legitimate travel expenses for City Employees and Elected Officials
traveling on authorized City business. These include transportation, lodging, registration
fees, meals, and other related expenses if they are for official business and fit within the
guidelines established in this policy.
(a)There are four ways to pay for travel expenses:

Official may be requested for estimated expenses for travel. Requests for
advance payments, with an itemized list of estimated expenses, shall be

Manager or the City Council for advance payment requests from Elected
Officials. Funds will be released no more than seven (7) days prior to the
event departure date. Travel advances will not be issued to employees to
whom City P-Cards have been issued. In addition, travel advances will not
be issued for mileage or items that were paid prior to attending the event
(i.e., registration fees).
c. Per Diem - For City Employees or Elected Officials electing Per Diem
payment for meal expenses, the City shall reimburse at the fixed GSA Per
Diem Rates on a meal-by-meal basis based upon the locality of travel.

records pertaining to the time, place and official business purposes of the
event or activity are submitted. City Employees or Elected Officials
electing Per Diem reimbursement shall not incur meal expenses on City
issued credit cards (P-Cards) or seek actual cost reimbursement for meal

by completing the bottom portion of the Travel Authority & Expense Request and

Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
Department:City Manager's Office
Subject:Technical Corrections to Previously Adopted Items: 1)
Resolution No. 2022-203 authorizing the City Manager to
receive and administer California Board of State &
community corrections grant award of $3.8 million,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a fourth
amendment to an agreement with HOPE Culture, and
authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services
to amend the FY 2022/2023 adopted budget revenue and
expenditures by $3,800,000.00 (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California reaffirm their previous action of:
Adopting Resolution No. 2022-203 authorizing the City Manager to receive and
administer California Board of State & community corrections grant award of $3.8
million, authorizing the City Manager to execute a fourth amendment to an agreement
with HOPE Culture, and authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to
amend the FY 2022/2023 adopted budget revenue and expenditures by
$3,800,000.00.
Background
Items that are not properly listed on the public agenda should be revisited at a future
Council meeting to ensure full transparency and legal compliance. As the City has
transitioned to a new agenda management system, there have been inevitable growing
pains associated with working in a new system - including both technical and
operational issues, which staff is diligently working to address. Unfortunately, as a
result of these issues, an item was listed incorrectly on the agenda for each of the past
three meetings. Although the staff reports and attachments were correct, it is important
for the agenda proper to accurately reflect the actions being taken. These items should
be reaffirmed by the Mayor and City Council in open session for transparency and to
Packet Pg. 634
8

ensure that the City complies with all legal requirements.
Discussion
The following item was not properly listed on the publicly posted agenda for the
September 21, 2022, Mayor and City Council meeting:
1. Resolution 2022-203 Adopting Resolution No. 2022-203 authorizing the City
Manager to receive and administer California Board of State & community
corrections grant award of $3.8 million, authorizing the City Manager to execute
a fourth amendment to an agreement with HOPE Culture, and authorizing the
Agency Director of Administrative Services to amend the FY 2022/2023 adopted
budget revenue and expenditures by $3,800,000.00.
Council adopted the resolution; however, because the budget amendment listed on
the resolution did not match the amount listed on the publicly posted agenda, the item
is required to be brought back to Council as a technical correction. The staff report
and attachments that were included with publicly posted agenda correctly described
the action proposed by staff.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This technical corrections align with Key Target No. 1c: Improved Operational and
Financial Capacity - implement, maintain and update a fiscal accountability plan, by
upholding financial transparency and accountability.
Fiscal Impact
Technical corrections have no fiscal impact.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California reaffirm their previous action of:
Adopting Resolution No. 2022-203 authorizing the City Manager to receive and
administer California Board of State & community corrections grant award of $3.8
million, authorizing the City Manager to execute a fourth amendment to an agreement
with HOPE Culture, and authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative Services to
amend the FY 2022/2023 adopted budget revenue and expenditures by

Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department:Community & Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Imposing Liens on Certain Real Property to Recover Costs
for Code Enforcement Abatements
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-209 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San
Bernardino, California, imposing liens on certain real property located within the City
of San Bernardino for cost recovery of public nuisance abatements.
Background
On October 5, 2015, the Mayor and City Council adopted Ordinance MC-1418, which
repealed San Bernardino Municipal Code Chapters 3.68 and 8.27 and amended
Chapter 8.30. On September 18, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Ordinance
MC-1521, which made further revisions to Chapter 8.30. These changes have
streamlined the process of abating public nuisances on properties and imposing liens
to enable the City to recover costs for abating public nuisances.
Discussion
San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 8.30.050 requires a Resolution be adopted in
order to assess unpaid costs of abatement as liens upon the respective parcels of land
as they are shown upon the last available assessment roll.
The current Abatement Assessments List is attached hereto as Attachment 2. The first
section consists of properties with Administrative Hearing Orders. There are no
outstanding fees for Code Enforcement Hearing Orders for this time period.
Packet Pg. 640
7
8
8
The ‘Other Abatement Assessments’ are for public nuisance abatements performed by
the Code Division which includes properties that were either secured and/or cleaned
via administrative inspection warrants or were Unsafe for Occupancy by the Code
Enforcement Division. Also, included in this section are emergency board-ups
requested by the Police and Fire Departments. Emergency board-ups are requested
after a break-in has occurred or after fire suppression activities, when no responsible
parties could be reached.
All affected property owners identified on the ‘Other Abatement Assessments’ list have
been notified through regular and certified mail of the respective abatement costs per
SBMC 8.30.023. Further, affected property owners were also issued a Notice of
Summary Abatement with the option to schedule a hearing per SBMC 8.30.045 and
have also been advised of their right to appeal said costs within ten days, or to pay the
costs within 45 days of notice per San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 8.30.030
and 8.30.040. To date, no hearings have been requested and the costs are currently
outstanding. As such, staff recommends adopting the Resolution in order to assess the
unpaid costs of the nuisance abatements.
The total of outstanding fees for ‘Abatement Assessments’ resulting from
Administrative Hearing Officer Orders is $0. The total for ‘Other Abatement
Assessments’, including emergency abatements, is $8,041.51. The grand total of all
unpaid abatements is $8,041.51. If property owners come forward to pay their costs
prior to the council meeting, their properties will be removed from Attachment 2.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to impose liens to recover costs for Code Enforcement abatements aligns
with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No.
4: Economic Growth & Development. Imposing liens to resolve public nuisances would
ensure the City receives revenue back into the Community & Economic Development
Department and that the City continues to strive towards being clean and attractive.
Fiscal Impact
The anticipated amount to be collected is $8,041.51. This amount will be collected
incrementally as individual properties are sold and/or liens are paid through the escrow
process or entered as an assessment on the County tax roll.
Conclusion
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-209 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San
Bernardino, California, imposing liens on certain real property located within the City
of San Bernardino for cost recovery of public nuisance abatements.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager; Nathan Freeman, Agency
Director of Community, Housing, and Economic Development
Department:Community, Housing, & Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Settlement and Release Agreement with Montecito
Equities, Ltd.
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Settlement and Release
Agreement with Montecito Equities, Ltd.
Background
In March of 2013, the City of San Bernardino approved the Spring Trails Specific Plan,
which included a variety of underlying entitlements. The Specific Plan approvals
included the adoption of Resolution No. 2013-34 that certified the Final Environmental
Impact Report, the adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan, the
adoption of a General Plan Amendment (including the pre-annexation of the Specific
Plan Area), the approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 15576, and the approval of a
Development Agreement.
In March of 2015, Montecito Equities, Ltd., (“Montecito”), which is the owner and
developer of the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project, filed a Landowner Petition for
annexation with the San Bernardino County Local Area Formation Commission
(“LAFCO”). Since that time, Montecito has been working with LAFCO seeking approval
of the annexation of the Spring Trails Plan Project area into the City of San Bernardino.
In October of 2019, LAFCO adopted Resolution No. 3091 approving the annexation of
the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project area into the City of San Bernardino subject to
the certain conditions of approval. During the processing of the annexation, there was
a 26-acre area including 6 parcels that was removed from the annexation that created
an unincorporated island surrounded by the City of San Bernardino. This area was
removed because the registered voters occupying the six single-family residences
located within the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project area had vocally opposed the
Spring Trails Specific Plan Project, and it was unlikely that the annexation of the entire
Packet Pg. 647
8
0
8
area, including the island, would be successful. As a result, the annexation continued
without the unincorporated island area (Attachment 1, Location Map – Remaining
Unincorporated Island).
With respect to the above-mentioned conditions of approval, LAFCO imposed
Condition of Approval No. 4, which states the following: “The City of San Bernardino is
required to initiate annexation of the totally surrounded island within one year of the
Commission’s approval of LAFCO 3188A. A resolution by the City Council of the City
of San Bernardino shall be submitted to the Executive Officer of LAFCO outlining the
City’s commitment to fulfilling this requirement prior to the issuance of the Certificate
of Completion for LAFCO 3188A. A status report shall be provided to the Commission
at the six-month date outlining the progress of the City of San Bernardino in fulfilling its
obligation. Failure on the part of the City of San Bernardino to fulfill its commitment to
annex the totally surrounded island shall require that the next annexation proposed to
the City of San Bernardino, either by the City through resolution or by property
owner/registered voter petition to include a condition requiring the initiation of
annexation of the totally surrounded island. Said condition of approval shall be deemed
completed upon the issuance of the Certificate of Filing for said island.”
The above Condition of Approval No. 4 imposed by LAFCO holds the Certificate of
Completion for LAFCO Annexation No. 3188A (Spring Trails Specific Plan Project
Area) on hold until (a) the City of San Bernardino Mayor and City Council adopt a
resolution identifying its commitment to annex the 26-acre unincorporated island area
at some time in the future, and (b) the City of San Bernardino submits a copy of the
adopted resolution to the Executive Officer of LAFCO. In essence, Condition of
Approval No. 4 places a hold on Montecito’s ability to proceed with the construction of
their project until after the City Council adopts a resolution confirming its intent to annex
the unincorporated island area into the City of San Bernardino at some time in the
future.
In January and March of 2020, the Mayor and City Council considered the adoption of
a Resolution of Intent to annex the unincorporated island area. However, the matter
was continued by the Mayor and City Council indefinitely on both occasions.
Montecito has continued to request that the City honor its commitments under the
Development Agreement and assist Montecito in fulfilling LAFCO’s approval of
annexation due to the City’s failure to adopt a Resolution of Intent within the designated
one-year period as necessary for LAFCO to issue its Certificate of Completion.
In November of 2020, Montecito provided formal notice under the Government Claims
Act of its claims for monetary damages against the City in connection with the City’s
failure and refusal to honor its obligations under the Development Agreement approved
as part of the 2103 Specific Plan approvals to “assist Montecito in obtaining all third-
party governmental and non-governmental agencies’ permits and approvals which are
necessary for the development of the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project. Montecito
has alleged, in its Claim Notice, that the City’s actions in refusing to adopt the
Packet Pg. 648
8
0
8
Resolution of Intent and instead continuing the matter indefinitely and beyond the one
year period required by the Condition resulting in LAFCO’s termination of the October
16, 2019 annexation approval constituted (1) a breach of the Development Agreement
and a violation of Montecito’s constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. section 1983
entitling Montecito to significant monetary damages and (2) as well as taking with the
payment of just compensation as required by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution and Article I, Section 19, of the California Constitution.
On June 29, 2021, both parties entered into an agreement to toll the applicable
limitations periods for filing a lawsuit under the Government Claims Act for a period of
six months until January 2, 2022, in order to allow time for the parties to explore a
potential informal resolution.
On December 15, 2021, both parties amended the Tolling Agreement to further toll the
applicable limitations periods for initiating a lawsuit under the Government Claims Act
for a period of eighteen months until July 2, 2023.
Discussion
In order to rectify the aforementioned issues, staff and Montecito have jointly
negotiated a Settlement and Release Agreement (Attachment 2). The Settlement and
Release Agreement obligates the City to the following:
•Annexation of the Project Area and Island Area: The City shall apply for and
diligently process to completion with LAFCO two separate annexation
proceedings for: (1) the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project Area; and (2) the
Island Area (together the “Annexation Proceedings”). As part of this obligation,
Montecito acknowledges and agrees that (i) any decisions by the City with
respect to the Annexation Proceedings following application to LAFCO shall be
subject to the discretion of the City Council and the City Council cannot obligate
itself to make such decisions in advance; and (ii) LAFCO is an independent
governmental agency whose ultimate approval of the Annexation Proceedings
is discretionary and therefore neither certain nor a condition of performance
under the Settlement and Release Agreement.
•Bice Property Easement: The City will grant a non-exclusive secondary fire
access only easement to Montecito over and across the Bice Property at a
location and according to an alignment and subject to terms and conditions that
are acceptable to both Montecito and the City (with the location of any such
easement being at the sole and absolute discretion of the City).
The Settlement and Release Agreement also obligates Montecito to the following:
•Costs for annexation of the Project Area and Island Area: Montecito shall bear
all costs associated with processing the annexation of the Project Area and
Island Area through to completion at LAFCO.
•Roadway and Storm Drain Improvements: Montecito shall commence the
roadway and associated storm drain improvements located on the east side of
the project site (the “Roadway”), pursuant to applicable permits and licenses
Packet Pg. 649
8
0
8
obtained from the City, such that the Roadway is the only primary access route
for any and all purposes to the Project site, within the first phase development
and before the commencement of construction on the Project site.
•Reduction of Housing Units: Montecito shall reduce the number of homes to be
constructed within the project from 307 units to 264 units, and bear all cost and
expense associated with such reduction.
•CEQA Compliance: Montecito shall take all actions necessary and appropriate,
if any are required, at no costs or expense to the City and comply with the
California Environmental Quality Act.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Settlement and Release
Agreement with Montecito Equities, Ltd. is consistent with Key Target No. 4: Economic
Growth and Opportunity. Specifically, the area considered for annexation is within the
City’s sphere of influence and has been anticipated for development as identified in
the City’s comprehensive General Plan. Future in-fill development, such as that of the
Spring Trails project, will be a catalyst to encourage new development in the City that
will generate additional revenue.
Fiscal Impact
Authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Settlement and Release
Agreement with Montecito Equities, Ltd., does not require the expenditure of any
General Fund revenue.
Conclusion
Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Settlement and Release
Agreement with Montecito Equities, Ltd.

SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of ____________, 2022 (“Effective
Date”) by and between Montecito Equities, Ltd., a California Limited Partnership (“Montecito”),
on the one part, and the City of San Bernardino (“City”), a California public agency, on the other
part. Montecito and City are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and may be
individually referred to as “Party.”
RECITALS
A. Montecito is the owner and developer of the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project
(SP10-01), approved by the City in March 2013 (the “Project”). The Specific Plan approvals,
which are final and fully-vested, include adoption of Resolution No. 2013-34; certification of the
Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”); adoption of the Mitigation Measuring and
Reporting Plan (“MMRP”); adoption of General Plan Amendment No. GPA 02-09 (including pre-
annexation of the Specific Plan area); Tentative Tract Map No. 15576; and approval of the
corresponding Development Agreement (collectively, the “Specific Plan Approvals”).
B. On October 16, 2019, the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation
Commission (“LAFCO”) adopted Resolution No. 3091 approving the annexation of the Project
(LAFCO Annexation No. 3188A) into the City, subject to certain conditions of approval. The
annexation resulted in the creation of a 26-acre totally-surrounded island area comprised of six (6)
parcels that, although receiving the bulk of its municipal services from the City (except for fire),
will continue to remain a part of unincorporated County of San Bernardino (the “Island Area”)
until eventually annexed into the City.
C. With respect to the Island Area, the conditions of approval imposed by LAFCO on
the Project’s annexation included Condition No. 4 (the “Condition”), which effectively holds the
Certificate of Completion for annexation of the Project in abeyance unless and until (i) the City
Council adopts a resolution “outlining the City’s commitment” to annex the Island Area at some
point in the future (“Resolution of Intent”) and (ii) provides the adopted resolution to LAFCO’s
Executive Officer.
D. The City Council considered adoption of the Resolution of Intent at a hearing on
January 15, 2020, and again on May 6, 2020; however, the matter was continued indefinitely by
the City Council on both occasions. Montecito continued to ask the City to honor its commitments
under the Development Agreement and assist Montecito in fulfilling LAFCO’s Condition and
complete annexation of the Project; however, the City failed and refused to do so.
E. As a result of the foregoing, on November 9, 2020, the Executive Officer of
LAFCO adopted Resolution No. 3317 terminating LAFCO’s approval of annexation of the Project
due to the City’s failure to adopt the Resolution of Intent within the designated one (1) year period,
as necessary for LAFCO to issue the Certificate of Completion for the Project under the Condition.
F. On November 20, 2020, Montecito provided formal notice under the Government
Claims Act (Gov. Code, §§ 810, et seq.) (the “Act”) of Montecito’s claims for monetary damages
against the City in connection with the City’s failure and refusal to honor its obligations under the
Packet Pg. 652
55600.00100\34921062.3
2
Development Agreement approved as part of the 2013 Specific Plan Approvals to “assist
Montecito in obtaining all third-party governmental and non-governmental agencies’ permits and
approvals which are necessary for the Development of the Property” (the “Claim Notice”). (Dev.
Agreement, § 3.9.) Montecito alleged in the Claim Notice that the City’s actions in refusing to
adopt the Resolution of Intent and instead continuing the matter indefinitely and beyond the one
(1) year period required by the Condition resulting in LAFCO’s termination of the October 16,
2019, annexation approval constituted (a) a breach of the Development Agreement and a violation
of Montecito’s constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 entitling Montecito to significant
monetary damages (b) as well as a taking without the payment of just compensation as required
by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Section 19 of the California
Constitution (collectively, the “Claim”).
G. The City disputes Montecito’s Claims and the allegations raised in the Claim
Notice.
H. On June 29, 2021, the Parties entered into an agreement to toll the applicable
limitations periods for initiating a lawsuit under the Act for a period of six (6) months until
January 2, 2022, in order to allow time for the parties to explore a potential informal resolution of
the Claim (“Tolling Agreement”).
I. On December 15, 2021, the Parties amended the Tolling Agreement to further toll
the applicable limitations periods for initiating a lawsuit under the Act for a period of eighteen (18)
months until July 2, 2023.
J. The Parties, without in any way conceding fault or the validity or sufficiency of any
claim or contention of any or all the Parties, now desire to fully compromise, finally settle, and
fully release all claims, disputes and differences related to the Claim and Claim Notice.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and conditions set forth
below, and as full and complete compromise and settlement of any and all legally applicable
claims, including but not limited to the Claim, Montecito and City, and each of them, agree as
follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing Recitals are incorporated by this
reference as though fully set forth at length.
2. City Obligations. City shall:
2.1. Annexation of Project Area and “Island Area”. Apply for and diligently
process to completion with the San Bernardino County LAFCO two separate annexation
proceedings for: (1) the Spring Trails Specific Plan Project area; and (2) the “Island Area”
(together, the “Annexation Proceedings”). Montecito expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i)
any decisions by the City with respect to the Annexation Proceedings following application to
LAFCO, shall be subject to the discretion of the City Council and the City Council cannot obligate
itself to make such decisions in advance; and (ii) LAFCO is an independent governmental agency
whose ultimate approval of the Annexation Proceedings is discretionary and therefore neither
Packet Pg. 653
55600.00100\34921062.3
3
certain nor a condition of performance under this Agreement. City shall file such applications
within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date.
2.2. [Intentionally Deleted.]

Request for Council Action
Date: September 15, 2021
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Robert D. Field, City Manager
By: Barbara Whitehorn, Director of Finance
Subject: Professional Services Agreement with Solutions Simplified for
DocuSign Software Services (All Wards)
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-233 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San
Bernardino, California, authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement between the City of San Bernardino and Solutions Simplified for DocuSign
Software Services.
Background
The City of San Bernardino is upgrading technology infrastructure to be more efficient,
effective, and transparent, and to provide better customer service at every level. This is
a major process that requires analysis of every department to evaluate customer
interfaces, determine base system requirements, identify risks, and make decisions on
the best fit for a high level of customer service, automation, internal control and
minimize paper for both internal and external processes.
Discussion
Contracts, applications, and other documen
turnaround time for approvals and contract signing. The City researched options for
electronic signature and determined that DocuSign would meet the needs of every
department. DocuSign is used throughout government and industry; even home buying,
and other major contracts can be entered into using DocuSign. Additionally, DocuSign
will easily integrate with future system upgrades. As the City offers more online options
for customers, DocuSign helps to ensure that every step of the process is
straightforward, simple, and electronic for customers that do not want to visit a customer
service location in person.
2020-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorization of this agreement aligns with Key Target No. 3b: Improved Quality of Life:
develop a customer service initiative, by improving the ability of customers, vendors,
and applicants to complete forms and tasks electronically.

Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
Rolland Kornblau, Director of Information Technology
Department:Information Technology
Subject:Ratify and Approve the Enterprise Agreement with Earth Science
Research Institute, Inc.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, ratify and approve the Enterprise Agreement with Earth Science Research
Institute, Inc. (ESRI) to reflect the correct three-year commitment terms for the total
amount not to exceed $430,299.
Background
At the June 15, 2022, Mayor and City Council meeting, the Mayor and City Council
approved item 24, an Enterprise Agreement with Earth Science Research Institution,
Inc., for annual usage fees and software support. Staff recommended an expected
amount for the annual maintenance for FY 2022-23 of $121,666 plus a 10%
contingency of $12,166 for a total amount of $133,832.
Discussion
Subsequent to the City Council meeting, the Enterprise Agreement terms were
reviewed after being routed for signatures. During this review, staff became aware that
the terms in the Enterprise Agreement state the commitment will require a three-year
agreement rather than one. The intent of this item is the clarify the agreement amount
for the record and approve the three-year term with the following maintenance cost
schedule: Year 1 is $121,666, Year 2 is $143,333, and Year 3 is $165,000. There is
also a license fee of $300, which brings the total amount for the 3-year agreement to
$430,299.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorization of this agreement aligns with Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned
Leadership and Unified Community. Software applications are maintained to achieve

operational efficiencies and support the organizational effectiveness of evolving
processes.
Fiscal Impact
The cost of the annual support agreement has been included in the adopted FY
2022/23 budget.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, ratify and approve the Enterprise Agreement with Earth Science Research
Institute, Inc. (ESRI) to reflect the correct three-year commitment terms for the total
amount not to exceed $430,299.

From:Robert D. Field, City Manager
Barbara Whitehorn, Agency Director of Administrative Services
Department:Human Resources
Subject:Side Letter Agreement Between the City of San
Bernardino and the San Bernardino Police Officers
Association
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2022-211 approving a Side Letter Agreement to the
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Bernardino and the San
Bernardino Police Officers Association (SBPOA), amending Article III, Section 3
– Overtime.
Background
On September 21, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-
193, approving a side letter agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the City and the San Bernardino Police Officers Association (SBPOA), adding
Juneteenth as an observed holiday.

approving a side letter agreement to the MOU between the City and the SBPOA,
amending the Police Officers Standards Training (POST) Advanced Certificate pay.

approving a side letter agreement to the MOU between the City and the SBPOA,
adding Watch Commander Compensation.
Discussion
The Police Department often contracts with third parties throughout the year to provide
public safety services at special events. When these agreements are entered into, third
parties agree to reimburse the City for the costs associated with providing these
services. To provide overtime payments to SBPOA members, a side letter is being
recommended to establish and record the definition of double time and to address the
circumstances in which overtime will be paid at a double time rate. The side letter has
been designed by both parties to ensure that there are no additional costs to the City.
Under the side letter, ‘special event’ includes any short-term event of less than 30 days
where the services provided are outside of the normal scope of duties of the SBPOA
as to providing routine police services to the City of San Bernardino. The term does
not include long-term contracts with third parties to provide services for more than 30
days. The side letter will not apply to contracts with third parties which are non-profit
organizations. In addition, the side letter will only apply to contracts where the third
party agrees to fully indemnify the City against all liabilities and injuries incurred in the
course of performance of any work under the contract.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorization of this side letter agreement aligns with Key Target No. 2a: Focused,
Aligned Leadership and Unified Community by building a culture that attracts, retains,
and motivates the highest quality talent.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City as any double time paid under this side letter is
cost neutral.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2022-211 approving a Side Letter Agreement to the
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Bernardino and the San
Bernardino Police Officers Association (SBPOA), amending Article III, Section 3

To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Ed Erjavek, Library Director
Department:Library
Subject:Amendment No.1 to Agreement with Ingram Library
Services, LLC.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the Library Director to execute Amendment No. 1 to the
agreement between San Bernardino Public Library (SBPL) and Ingram Library
Services, LLC, for the purchase of library books and authorize the Agency Director of
Administrative Services to approve an annual purchase order for an amount not to
exceed $85,000.
Background
The mission of the San Bernardino Public Library (SBPL) is to provide free access to
the world of ideas, information and creative experience for all citizens of San
Bernardino. The Library is a cultural center where the people of San Bernardino come
together to learn and participate in public discourse. It aids the community in the
creation of informed and educated citizenry and provides opportunities for free lifelong
learning and economic improvement. The Library provides books for our patrons at its
four locations to further their educational, cultural, and recreational interests. SBPL
also provides free public computers and Wi-Fi, online resources for library cardholders
in-library and remotely, literacy services, programs and activities for all ages, and other
services. SBPL staff includes 15 full-time and 25 part-time staff.
Discussion
Packet Pg. 817
The Library posted RFQ F-21-25 through the Finance Department seeking proposals
for book purchases, including cataloging and processing of books, for Fiscal Year
2021/22, with three possible one-year extensions. The RFQ opened on April 15, 2021
and closed on April 30, 2021. Libraries receive a discount of up to 40% percent on the
individual title cost of most books and there are also per book charges for its cataloging
and processing. The proposed contract extension is warranted because of staff
satisfaction with the vendor. This Amendment exercises the city’s option for a one-year
extension.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to purchase library books for the educational, cultural, and recreational
interests of our patrons aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in authorizing the execution of an amendment for books
purchases. Funding is available in the Library's FY 2022/23 budget.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the Library Director to execute Amendment No. 1 to the
agreement between San Bernardino Public Library (SBPL) and Ingram Library
Services, LLC, for the purchase of library books and authorize the Agency Director of
Administrative Services to approve an annual purchase order for an amount not to
exceed $85,000.

Request for Council Action
Date:October 5, 2022
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,
Operations and Maintenance
Department:Public Works
Subject:Amendment No. 2 to Consultant Services Agreement with
Paragon Partners Consultants, Inc. for H Street Widening
Project
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the City Manager to execute all documents in support of
Amendment No. 2 to the Consultant Services Agreement with Paragon Partners
Consultants, Inc. to extend the contract term from June 30, 2022, to December 31,
2023, for the H Street Widening between 40th Street and Kendall Drive Project.
Background
This project consists of the widening of H Street between 40th Street and Kendall Drive
to provide two through lanes in each direction and a two-way left-turn lane. The project
will include right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, pavement widening, pavement
rehabilitation, construction of curb & gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, drainage
improvements, signing, striping, and modification of the traffic signal at 40th Street and
Kendall Drive.
On October 18, 2017, the Mayor and City Council authorized a Professional Services
Agreement with CivilSource Inc. to provide environmental and civil engineering design
services for the widening of H Street between 40th Street and Kendall Drive. The
environmental component of the project was completed in November 2018 and the
Plans Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) are 95% complete. As part of the PS&E,
Packet Pg. 847

CivilSource was required to identify necessary ROW takes for the project.
On August 21, 2019, the Mayor and City Council authorized a Consultant Services
Agreement with Paragon Partners, Ltd. (now Paragon Partners Consultants, Inc.) in
the amount of $86,070 to perform all functions that are necessary to obtain required
ROW for the H Street Widening between 40th Street and Kendall Drive.
On April 7, 2021, the Mayor and City Council authorized Amendment No. 1 to the
Master Agreement, to extend the previous expiration date to June 30, 2022.
Discussion
Consultant Services Agreement with Paragon Partners Consultants, Inc., executed on
August 19, 2021, expired on June 30, 2022. The acquisition of the right-of-away is
taking longer than anticipated and as a result, the term of the contract needs to be
extended from June 30, 2022, to December 31, 2023.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No.1e: Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity - Minimize risk and litigation exposure. Approval of this Amendment will result
in public improvements being constructed that minimize risk and litigation exposure by
widening ‘H’ Street and repairing sidewalk and providing missing ADA access along
‘H’ Street between 40th street and Kendall Drive.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. The project for the
proposed work was previously established through the adopted FY 2019/20 CIP in the
Regional Circulation Development Impact Fee Fund. The remaining budget for this will
be carried over from FY 2021/2022 into FY 2022/23. This amendment is not incurring
any additional cost to the project.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the City Manager to execute all documents in support of
Amendment No. 2 to Consultant Services Agreement with Paragon Partners
Consultants, Inc. to extend the contract term from June 30, 2022, to December 31,
2023, for H Street Widening between 40th Street and Kendall Drive Project.

To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Robert D. Field, City Manager;
Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,

Department:Public Works
Subject:Resolution Declaring Intent to Annex Territory: Community
Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services):
Annexation No. 27, Tax Zone No. 28 (SB Drake LLC) (Ward
3)
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-210, of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino,
California, declaring its intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District
No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino, adopting a map of
the area to be proposed (Annexation No. 27) and authorizing the levy of special taxes
therein.
Background
On June 5, 2019, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2019-81
establishing Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the
City of San Bernardino ("CFD No. 2019-1" or "District") for the purpose of levying
special taxes on parcels of taxable property to provide certain services which are
necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City.
Discussion
On July 17, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-178,
establishing CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community
Facilities Act of 1982 (“Act”). CFD No. 2019-1 allows for the levy of special taxes on
parcels of taxable property for the purpose of providing certain services which are
Packet Pg. 881
7
8
2
necessary to meet increased demands placed by development upon the City.
Development projects are subject to conditions of approval that require projects to
form/annex a maintenance district. These districts apply an annual fee or special tax
upon properties within the District which provide the revenue to offset the cost of
maintenance of the public improvements necessary to serve the development. The
Developer has agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation proceedings
pursuant to the Act. To that end, the Developer has submitted a "Consent and Waiver"
form, which is on file in the City Clerk's office that authorizes the City to: (1) hold the
election and declare election results; (2) shorten election time requirements; (3) waive
analysis and arguments; (4) waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the
election immediately following the public hearing.
The public facilities and services proposed to be financed within the territory to be
annexed to the District are the following:
1. Public lighting and appurtenant facilities, including streetlights within public
rights-of-way and traffic signals; and
2. Maintenance of streets, including pavement management; and
3. Maintenance and operation of water quality improvements including storm
drainage and flood protection facilities; and
4. City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of
the special tax, and in the administration of the District including the contract
administration and for the collection of reserve funds.
The proposed development includes approximately 5.35 gross acres of a zoned
industrial property. The property is located on the north side of E Central Ave between
S Waterman Ave and S Valley View Ave. At build out this development will include an
industrial warehouse as a new Tax Zone No. 28 within CFD No. 2019-1, as shown in
the boundary map and included in the Resolution of Intention as Exhibit “D”. In order
to annex into CFD No. 2019-1, a Resolution of Intention to annex property must be
approved to identify the facilities to be maintained and establish the maximum special
tax for this Tax Zone. The Resolution of Intention shall also set the date and time for
the public hearing.
The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax for this Tax Zone, (Tax Zone
No. 28), is included as Exhibit “C” to the Resolution of Intention. The maximum annual
special tax for this development has been calculated to be $2,143 per acre for FY
2022/23. This tax rate includes a Maximum Special Tax A of $1,851 per acre per year
for maintenance services of public facilities and a Maximum Annual Special Tax B
(Contingent) of $292 per acre per year. Special Tax B (Contingent) is for the
maintenance and operation of the improvements described in Exhibit “B” attached
hereto. If the Property Owners Association (POA) were to default of its obligation to
Packet Pg. 882
7
8
2
maintain such improvements, the City would be able to collect funds to pay for those
services. Annual Special Tax A and Annual Special Tax B (Contingent) rate are
proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%.
A maintenance exhibit, illustrating the services being maintained by the District, is
hereby attached as Attachment #10.
In order to annex property to CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of California
Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt a series of three
statutorily required Resolutions and an Ordinance which are summarized below.
Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities District No.
2019-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the rate and method of
apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area (the special tax applies only
to properties within the annexation area).
Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying
a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District.
Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of the notice
of special tax lien.
Amend the Ordinance and order the levy and collection of special taxes in the District.
With the adoption of the Resolution of Intention, the Public Hearing would be scheduled
for November 16, 2022.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No 1. Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity and Key Target No 4. Economic Growth & Development. This project will
contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure
designed for long term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
The individual property owners in the District will be responsible for annual payments
of special taxes. Upon full completion of the development, it is estimated that there will
be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $8,884 from Special
Tax A, to be used to pay for maintenance costs.
On March 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been
issued within the boundaries of the District will be subject to the special tax for the
ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given
Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available
from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may
also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other
undeveloped property within the boundaries of the District.
Packet Pg. 883

All costs associated with annexation into the District have been borne by the
Developer. By annexing into the District, the costs of maintaining improvements
located within the development will be financed through special taxes levied on the
parcels within CFD No. 2019-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.
Conclusion
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-210, of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino,
California, declaring its intention to annex territory into Community Facilities District
No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino, adopting a map of
the area to be proposed (Annexation No. 27) and authorizing the levy of special taxes
therein.
