D-3
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: TROY L. BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MARCO MARTINEZ, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: JUNE 20, 2016
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO APPROVE JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT TO
CREATE THE “AZUSA-RMC JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY” AND
CONVEYANCE OF HILLSIDE LAND NORTH OF THE ROSEDALE PROJECT TO
THE AUTHORITY FOR LONG-TERM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
SUMMARY:
When the City approved the Rosedale Project back in 2004, it entered into a Development Agreement
with the project developer. Among other provisions, that Agreement requires Rosedale Land Partners
(the current developer of Rosedale) to transfer 201-acres of hillside property north of the Rosedale
Project to the City to be maintained as low-impact open space. Alternatively, the Agreement allows the
property to be conveyed to a joint powers authority for the same purpose.
Staff is recommending that the City Council take the first step in forming a new joint powers authority
that will take title to, operate and maintain the hillside property. The joint powers authority would
consist of two member agencies: the City of Azusa and the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers
and Mountains Conservancy (the “Conservancy”). The Conservancy is a public agency specially
created by State law to acquire and manage public lands within this region for open space. Staff
believes that the City and Conservancy each bring valuable resources to this effort and by combining
their powers, the hillside property can be managed most effectively.
The City Attorney’s Office has negotiated the attached Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement
(Attachment 1) with the California Attorney General’s Office. If both the City and Conservancy
approve this Agreement, a new agency would be formed – the “Azusa-RMC Joint Powers Authority”
that would operate and manage the hillside property for the purposes above.
Staff is also requesting that the Council approve the City’s execution of a grant deed (Attachment 4)
conveying the hillside property from the City to the new Authority. Once the Authority is officially
established, it can formally accept the conveyance from the City and begin long-term operation and
management.

Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2016-C40, approving the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement forming the
Azusa-RMC Joint Powers Authority (Attachment 3).
2) Approve the City’s execution of the Grant Deed conveying the hillside property from the City to
the Authority (Attachment 4).
DISCUSSION:
When the City approved the Rosedale Project back in 2004, it entered into a Development Agreement
with the project developer, then Monrovia Nursery Corporation. Since that time, Rosedale Land
Partners (“RLP”) has taken over development of the Project. State law authorizes cities to enter into
long-term development agreements with developers, usually for large or complex projects. These
agreements typically grant project approval in exchange for the developer meeting certain City
conditions and providing certain public benefits from the project. Recently, Staff has been discussing
with RLP implementation of Section 4.16(ii) of the Development Agreement. This Section requires
RLP to dedicate (transfer to City ownership) approximately 201-acres of hillside land north of the
Rosedale Project (as specifically shown on Attachment 2) to be maintained as public open space. RLP
has done so and the City currently holds title to the hillside property. The Development Agreement
requires the City to either accept the dedication/transfer or convey the property to a non-profit
conservancy organization.
“AZUSA – RMC JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY”:
In order to long-term operate and manage the hillside property, Staff believes that the best option is to
create an agenc y which combines the strengths of both the City and a non-profit conservancy. For
example, the City brings its experience with police/fire/emergency response, parks and recreation,
public works/maintenance and utility service. An established conservancy brings its extensive
experience in operating and maintaining wildlands for the public’s benefit, as well as eligibility for State
grant/bond funding. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council take the first step this
evening to form a new Joint Powers Authority that will take title to, operate and maintain the hillside
property as low-impact public open space.
The Joint Powers Authority would consist of two member agencies: The City of Azusa and the San
Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (the “Conservancy”). The
Conservancy is a public agency which was specially created by State law in 2000 to acquire and manage
public lands within this region (the Lower Los Angeles River and San Gabriel River watersheds) for
open space, low-impact recreational and educational uses, water conservation, watershed improvement,
and wildlife/habitat restoration. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§32600 et. seq.) Staff believes that the
Conservancy is uniquely positioned to team with the City to operate and maintain the hillside property
under a joint powers arrangement.
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT:
The City Attorney’s Office has negotiated the attached Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement
(Attachment “A”) with the California Attorney General’s Office. If both the City and Conservancy
approve this Agreement, a new agency would be formed – the “Azusa - RMC Joint Powers Authority”
that would operate and manage the hillside property for the purposes above.
The Agreement has no expiration date, but may be terminated at any time upon consent of both member
agencies and winding up of the Authority’s affairs. Further, the Agreement provides for a 1-year
probationary period whereby either the City or Conservancy may withdraw from the Agreement by
providing at least 30 days’ notice before the first anniversary of the Agreement. Should the Authority
cease to operate, ownership of the hillside property will revert back to the City.
The Authority Board would consist of 5 directors. Two members would be chosen by the Azusa City
Council, two would be chosen by the Conservancy Board, and one would be chosen by the Azusa
Planning Commission. Each director serves a 2-year term and may be reappointed by his/her particular
appointing agency. Board meetings would be subject to the Brown Act, the Board could form
committees as needed, and the Board may adopt its own bylaws.
The proposed Agreement is a standard form joint powers agreement granting the Authority much of the
same general powers of a public agency including the ability to hire staff and consultants, enter into
contracts, to lease, acquire, hold or sell property, construct improvements, receive grants, gifts and
donations, to invest money, etc. The Agreement further authorizes the City and Conservancy to loan
employees to the Authority as needed. The Agreement expressly provides that the Authority: (1) has no
power of eminent domain and (2) has no power to tax or assess property. However the Authority may
establish fees and charges typical for parks; such as for admission, parking, camping permits, inspection
fees, visitor’s center/gift shop items, etc. For purposes of zoning and land use planning, the hillside
property will remain under City of Azusa jurisdiction. The Agreement will require the Authority to
carry standard insurance covering $1 million per occurrence of bodily injury, personal injury or property
damage. The Conservancy has informed the City that they have received a quote of $600 per year for
the Authority to maintain such insurance coverage.
To assist in getting the Authority started, RLP has provided $50,000 to the City. Staff believes that this
‘seed money’ will be sufficient to commence Authority operations for the coming fiscal year.
Should the Council approve the Agreement this evening, the Conservancy intends to take the Agreement
to its Board on June 27. Once the Conservancy approves the Agreement, the new Authority will be
established.
GRANT DEED:
Staff is also requesting that the Council approve execution of a grant deed (Attachment 4) conveying the
hillside property from the City to the new Authority. The conveyance will not be complete until the
Authority accepts the conveyance, which it can do once the Authority is officially established. The
grant deed is a standard form document, except that should the Authority fail to adequately maintain the
hillside property or if it dissolves, the hillside property reverts back to City ownership.

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions. Staff anticipates that the coming
year’s costs of operating the Authority will be adequately funded by the $50,000 provided by RLP.
Conveyance of the hillside property to the Authority will not result in property tax consequences to
either the Authority or the City since both are public agencies and thereby exempt from payment of
property taxes.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.16(ii) of that certain “Development Agreement” for the
development of the “Rosedale” subdivision, between the City and Monrovia Nursery Company,
dated May 27, 2004, the City agreed to accept the dedication of approximately one hundred eighty
(180) acres of open space land in the hillsides of north Azusa from the developer and either to retain
title to said land as permanent open space or to transfer said land to a non-profit conservancy
organization for the same purpose; and
WHEREAS, the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy
(“Conservancy”) is a public agency with the authority to acquire and manage public lands within the
Lower Los Angeles River and San Gabriel River watersheds, and to provide open space, low impact
recreational and educational uses, water conservation, watershed improvement, and wildlife and
habitat restoration in furtherance of the purpose set forth in Section 32602 of the Public Resources
Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the land described above would be best operated and
managed for open space purposes through the joint exercise of the City’s and Conservancy’s powers
to that end; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 5 of the Government Code
(Government Code §§6500 et. seq.), commonly known as the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (the
