Inspection of the property revealed an abandoned refrigerator, and other debris, along
with a dilapidated storage building at the rear of the business. The storage structure is
exhibiting signs of structural failure due to dry rot and termite damage. This structure
appears to be built on existing asphalt and no footings are evident. While inspecting
the storage area, water was observed draining from the roof. Inspection of the roof
revealed an accumulation of water forming a small pond on the roof attributed to a
leaking roof-mounted evaporative cooler, and an unpermitted Improperly installed roof
covering. The building exterior also exhibited signs of inadequate maintenance,
Including; incomplete painting, graffiti, loose fascia boards, a missing electrical Junction
box cover, damaged/missing exterior lighting, damaged/missing parapet capping, and
an un-maintained parking lot.

DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2003
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO AMEND THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF AZUSAAND HUNSAKERAND ASSOCIATES, IRVINE INC., IN THE AMOUNT
OF $18,500.00 FOR ADDITIONAL WORK IMPOSED BY CALTRANS IN
CONNNECTION WITH THE SAN GABRIEL RIVER BIKE PATH PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council approve an amendment to the professional services
agreement between the City of Azusa and Hunsaker and Associates, Irvine Inc., In the amount of
$18,500.00. Hunsaker is our civil engineering firm working on the Rio San Gabriel bike path
project. The Hunsaker engineering plans are a critical element of our permit application to
Caltrans in gaining permission to construct the project. This amendment is a direct result of
additional plan work required by Caltrans not specified In their permit application.
BACKGROUND:
On March 3, 2003 the City entered into a professional services agreement with Hunsaker and
Associates Irvine Inc., to further produce civil engineering plans to gain a Caltrans permit to
construct our "Rio San Gabriel Bike Path" next to Highway 39 in the mouth of our canyon. The
agreement with Hunsaker was specific to the civil engineering plans required by Caltransin the
permit application check list.
Prior to beginning work on the project a delegation of staff and consultants headed by Mayor
Madrid visited Caltrans to clarify what was needed In our permit application. After this was
negociated our consultants went to work to provide the plans and specifications required by
Caltrans.
On March 27, 2003 staff submitted plans and specifications along with a permit application to
Caltrans for review. On May 23, 2003 we received a letter of rejection from Caltrans on our
permit application. Prior to this letter of rejection staff and consultants believed all required
requirements as listed in the permit application checklist.
The May 23, 2003 we received a rejection letter requiring additional civil engineering plan work
not originally contracted for. Because of the,extremely tight project grant fund timeline staff
authorized the consultants to proceed with the additional work.
Staff resubmitted corrected plans and specifications on the project to Caltrans on August 3, 2003.
On September 29 Caltrans yet again issued us another letter of rejection on the project. Caltrans
plan checkers required yet more clarification and additional Items not required in the first rejection
letter.
Staff picked up the rejected plans and yet again distributed them to our consultants to review and
correct.
The addition plan revisions were authorized by staff on a time and material basest.
Staff is fairly confident that the next submittal of revised plans and specifications to Caltrans will
result in Caltrans issuing the required permit to construct our "Rio San Gabriel Bike Project".
FISCAL IMPACT:
The original contract with Hunsaker and Associated Irvine Inc., was for $41,000.00. The
additional civil engineering plan work fees are $16,730.00. The revised contract amount is
$59,500.00.
The project is funded in full by a Los Angeles County Proposition A Grant,provided by Los Angeles
County Supervisor Gloria Molina and the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space
District, and, the Mountain Cove Community Facilities District Park Improvement Fund.

FROM: ALBERT TOVAR, LIBRARY DIRECTOR
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER �, (
DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2003
SUBJECT: NEW AZUSA CITY LIBRARY CYCLE 3 APPLICATION - CIP BUDGET
AMENDMENT &PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended City Council:
1. Approve the attached professional services agreement with DJT
Consulting Group for an amount not to exceed $20,000, and;
2. Approve an amendment to the 2004-2008 Capital Improvement
Projects (CIP) Budget in defunding $68,000 from the Street
Beautification Account and transferring this amount to the New Library
Construction Account.
BACKGROUND
As a result of unsuccessful funding efforts in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of the Library
Bond Act, the City of Azusa has one more chance to apply for funds in Cycle 3,
the last round in the Library Bond Act of 2000.
It is expected that Cycle 3 will be the most competitive of all three rounds as
over 100 applications are expected and only $91 million will be available. The
City of Azusa's application in Cycle 2 was for $16.3 million and this amount will
be adjusted for inflation in Cycle 3. Logistically, due to the January 16, 2004
deadline, there is no time to make major revisions to the project.
In order to accelerate our preparation for the filing deadline and to be more
competitive, staff has identified DJT Consulting Group - an Oakland based
company. DJT has worked with three libraries on their Library Bond Act
applications. All three proposals were funded. For one client, they were able
to move their application from an "acceptable" rating to getting funded and
having "outstanding" and 'very good" ratings in the second application round.
This vendor/consultant is considered "sole source" as Library Department staff
cannot identify any other consulting agency with such a successful track record.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this professional services agreement have been identified in the CIP
Budget Amendment for the New Azusa City Library. A total of $68,000 is being
requested to cover all anticipated consulting and real estate transactions for
the Cycle Three application process. The recommended defunding of the
Streets Beautification will leave a balance in that account of $82,000.

IOINT CITY/AGENCY AGENDA ITEM
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
FROM: MICHAEL HENNESSEY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/REDEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: RICK COLE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2003
SUBJECT: ELIMINATION OF DEBT INCURRENCE DEADLINES ALLOWED UNDER SB-211
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council and the Azusa Redevelopment Agency Board (hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Council") adopt the attached resolutions, introduce and conduct the first
reading of the ordinances approving 1) the elimination of debt incurrence deadlines allowed under
SB-211, for the Merged Central Business and West End Redevelopment Plan, and the Ranch Center
Redevelopment Plan; and 2) the City's election to receive tax increment pass-through allocations
pursuant to Section 33607.5(b) of the Redevelopment Law.
BACKGROUND
The Merged Project and Ranch Center Redevelopment Plans time limits for Incurring debt are now
near expiration. For Azusa, the current deadlines to Incur debt are as follows (Table 1.):
Table t
Expiration Date
Project Area Current New SB-211 Deadline(Same as

Ranch Center 1/1/2009 7/17/2029
In order for the Agency to continue to incur debt on pians adopted prior to 1994, the State
legislature passed SB 211, which allows redevelopment agencies to eliminate the time limit for
establishing new loans, advances, bonds, and other indebtedness on plans adopted prior to January
1, 1994. This may be accomplished by adopting a simple ordinance, and does not require the full
redevelopment plan adoption process. Eliminating this date will benefit the Agency by allowing it to
continue to issue debt beyond 2004, and to finance new redevelopment projects and future
operating expenses.

Honorable Chairperson and Members of the Board
Elimination of Debt Incurrence Deadlines Allowed Under SB-211
November 17,2003
As a result of eliminating the deadline for incurring indebtedness, the Agency is required to make
mandatory tax increment sharing ("pass-through') payments to other taxing entities. The payments
start in 2005 and extend through the remaining lifetime of each plan. Total new pass-through
payments would equal approximately 5% of net tax Increment receipts. Agency staff has found that
the City can also receive a portion of these pass-through payments, with no additional financial
impact,to the Agency, if the City elects to do so.
According to the financial analysis prepared by GRC Redevelopment Consultants, and presented in
Tables 2 through 4, the proposed elimination of debt Incurrence time limits will not cause any
material reduction to the tax revenues required by the Agency to meet Its outstanding financial
obligations. GRC has consulted with the City Attorney's office as well as bond counsel in order to
confirm these findings.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this action is as follows:
• The Agency will be able to incur debt over a longer period, secured by a larger tax Increment
flow, than would otherwise be the case. (See Table 2.)
• Bonding capacity may increase by $10 to $15 million by extending the time over which the
Agency may incur debt. This money translates Into projects and Improvements the Agency
would not be able to finance without the extended authority.
• The City can also receive a portion of these new pass through payments,with no additional
financial Impact to the Agency, if the City elects to do so. This translates to an additional
estimated $2.7 million to the City's general fund through FY 2034/35 (See Table 3.)
• The action will not cause any material reduction to the tax revenues required by the Agency to
meet its outstanding financial obligations.

IOINT CITY/AGENCY CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY BOARD
FROM: MIKE HENNESSEY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/REDEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: RICK COLE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMEBR 17, 2003
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE RECIPROCAL EASEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT PARKING COURT PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council and the Azusa Redevelopment Agency Board (hereinafter
referred to collectively as "Council") approve the attached amendment to the Reciprocal Easement
Agreement for the Central Business District Parking Court and authorize the Executive Director of the
Agency to execute the said amendment.
BACKGROUND
On October 15, 2003, the Planning Commission approved application C-2003-02, V-2003-17 &P-
2003-35 for the development Plan of the Dr. Reyes Dental Practice redevelopment project. The
development proposes expansion of the original building footprint to the interior edge of the sidewalk
where the Central Business District Parking Court is located. The Planning Commission requires an
amendment to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement(REA)that currently governs the parking court. This
REA, which was approved by the City Council on April 19, 1993, provides common parking, access to
utilities, and maintenance of the parking court to 14 participants.
The expansion of the building footprint is required by the developer in order to make the project
financially feasible.The amendment will not impede pedestrian and vehicular accessibility, nor the use
of the parking easement to any of the property owners or their customers and it will create an
additional parking space. Since the City and agency own several properties along the parking
easement, the Council is required to consider approval of the amendment to the REA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for this action includes the cost of staff time and minimal legal counsel fees, which
w411 be paid from the Dr. Reyes Project#505405 budget.

Although all three respondents are well known in their field, UBS was selected for recommendation
for the following reasons:
t) Their proposed fee and cost per bond is lower than the other two respondents' fees.
2) Their marketing strategy emphasis on retail buyers is backed by a large network of
Investment brokers nationwide. Also, retail investors accept lower yields, which will reduce
the interest rate on the bond issue.
3) Their experience in issuing Tax Allocation Bonds and Certificates of Participation greatly
exceeds that of the other respondents. Since 2001, they have managed 43 issues, E.J. de
la Rosa managed 19 issues, and Chilton &Associates managed 10 Issues.
4) UBS managed the City's Issuance of the recent 2003 utility bonds, and were successful in
making that issuance fiscally sound and timely. They also successfully managed an
issuance for the Azusa Unified School District last year, and are familiar with the City's
fiscal condition.
5) UBS is one of the two leading underwriters in California.
The scope of services provided by UBS is detailed in the attached professional services agreement,
which incorporates their proposal ("Exhibit B"). The complete financing structure, Insurance bids,
rating agency results, and final forms will be presented to the Agency Board in December.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fees for the Underwriter will be reimbursed directly from the bond proceeds.
