DATE: MAY 15, 2006
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS FOR CITRUS
AVE. AND PALM DRIVE UNDERCROSSINGS, CITRUS AVE. MAINTENANCE SHARING
AGREEMENT, DETENTION BASIN MOU WITH THE CITY OF GLENDORA AND OTHER
AGENCIES, AND JOINT COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGREEMENT, ALL RELATED TO
THE ROSEDALE PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the following agreements, and authorize their
execution:
1. A Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Maintenance and Construction of Detention
Basins.
2. Citrus Ave. Maintenance Sharing Agreement
3. Construction and Maintenance Agreement for the Citrus Ave. Undercrossing
4. Construction and Maintenance Agreement for the Palm Drive Undercrossing
5. Joint Community Facilities Agreement for the construction of certain improvements under City
of Azusa Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Rosedale).
BACKGROUND
The Monrovia Nursery project site interfaces with the City of Glendora along the east side of the
site's boundary. This interface area requires the City of Glendora's cooperation and approval for
various items, including construction of graded and landscaped slopes, detention basins, utility
connections and relocations, street extensions, and the Citrus Ave. underpass. Glendora Staff has
reviewed and approved the concept and construction plans for these facilities. Similarly, the
Glendora Planning Commission has approved necessary grading and drainage improvements.
Connected with the aforementioned Facilities are construction and maintenance agreements, which
have been reviewed and were approved by the Glendora City Council on May 9. 2006. In addition,
other agencies that are party to two of the four agreements have approved and executed them. The
City of Azusa must now execute said agreements as well. A description of the agreements, which
are attached, is as follows:
I. Detention Basin Memorandum of Understanding.
(�f
This MOU was originally struct red f
execution between ALP and Glendora. Its purpose is to set forth the understanding that ALP will
construct three detention basins and that ALP or Monrovia Nursery will maintain them. One
basin will be located along the Azusa - Glendora boundary just south of Sierra Madre Ave. (Area
D Detention Basin), another will be located just east of the Dhammalcaya Meditation Center,
straddling the City boundary (Citrus Detention Basin), while the third basin will be located entirely
in Glendora near Calera Ave. (Hicrest Basin). Monrovia Nursery and ALP agreed to construct the
Hicrest Basin to assist in a local drainage problem in the Calera Ave. area.
The MOU sets forth drainage standards, and requires ALP to construct the improvements
consistent with the drainage standards. In addition, the MOU describes maintenance standards
and responsibilities, with ALP responsible for the Area D and Citrus basins, Monrovia Nursery for
the Hicrest Basin, and the City of Azusa responsible for only the inlet structures at the Area D and
Citrus Ave. Basins. ALP plans to convey the Citrus and Area D Basins along with the maintenance
responsibilities to the Rosedale Homeowners Association after construction.
The City of Glendora has requested that the City of Azusa be made a party to the agreement, in
order to facilitate the City of Azusa's enforcement if for some reason the HOA fails to provide
adequate maintenance. Azusa's City Attorney has requested that enforcement and
indemnification provisions be added to the MOU, which has been done.
2. Citrus Ave. Maintenance 6greement. The extension of Citrus Ave. from Foothill Blvd. into the
Rosedale project will serve only the City of Azusa at this time, since no Glendora streets are
planned to connect. The street alignment straddles the border between the two cities, and a
large portion of the right-of-way is situated on the Glendora side. Since Glendora did not want
the responsibility for maintaining a street that does not serve its citizens, the attached
maintenance agreement was drafted that essentially provides for the following:
a. As long as Glendora does not use the Citrus Ave. extension, Azusa will pay 100% of the
maintenance cost of the street and related facilities.
b. When significant Glendora traffic begins using the subject street, or a Glendora street is
connected to the Citrus Ave. extension, a traffic study would be prepared to determine
fair share responsibility for maintenance cost, with appropriate maintenance cost
adjustments made. The cost of the study would be shared by both cities.
c. Glendora will maintain the street, and would bill the City of Azusa.
d. Azusa may at any time audit Glendora's maintenance cost records.
3. Citrus Ave. Bridge Agreement. This agreement pertains to the railroad underpass that will be
constructed by ALP pursuant to their entitlements. This bridge over Citrus Ave. straddles the City
boundary, with one bridge abutment located in Azusa, and the other in the City of Glendora. For
this reason, both cities must execute the agreement, along with the SCRRA (Southern California
Regional Rail Authority, who maintains all railroad facilities for MTA), Pasadena Blue Line
Construction Authority (constructing the Gold Line), and Azusa Land Partners. The agreement
generally provides for the following:
a. ALP will provide all construction and arrange for funding necessary to build the bridge
structure. The construction will be funded via the CFD.
b. Azusa and Glendora will both be granted easements for roadway purposes for the street
right of way below the bridge.
c. The Los Angeles to Pasadena Blue Line Construction Authority will own the underpass
after construction, and will be responsible for the maintenance of the bridge structure and
abutments.
4. Palm Drive Brid e Aareemenr. This agreement is identical to the Citrus Ave bridge agreement,
except that it applies to the underpass that will be constructed over Palm Drive. Glendora is not
a party to this agreement.
5. [pint Community Facilities Agreement J1CFA]. The Community Facilities District to be formed will
finance various improvements that ultimately will be conveyed and maintained by other agencies.
In order to accomplish this, JCFAs must be executed with the affected agencies. This agreement
provides for the construction and conveyance of certain improvements to the City of Glendora,
including the Citrus Ave. utility and street improvements, the Sierra Madre Ave. water line, and a
possible traffic signal at Citrus Ave. and Foothill Blvd., should one be necessary.
The bridge designs have been plan checked and are ready to be approved from a structural
standpoint. However, the aesthetic design of both bridges must still be submitted by ALP for
approval by both cities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The execution of these agreements would bind the City to ongoing maintenance of Citrus Ave. and its
related facilities, and maintenance of the detention basin inlets. However, these maintenance items
are not extraordinary, and would exist even without these agreements, were it not for the multi -
jurisdictional issues. The cost of maintaining the public rights of way of the project was included in
the Monrovia Nursery Fiscal Impact Study, which assumed that the General Fund would fund this City
service through increased revenues generated by the new Rosedale development.

JOINT COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGREEMENT
(CITY OF GLENDORA)
THIS JOINT COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered
into this 15th day of May, 2006, by and among the CITY OF AZUSA, a general law city existing
under the laws of the State of California ("Azusa"), the CITY OF GLENDORA, a general law
city existing under the laws of the State of California ("Glendora"), and AZUSA LAND
PARTNERS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Company"), and relates to the
proposed formation of a Community Facilities District for the Rosedale Project (the "CFD") for
the purpose of financing certain public facilities, including facilities to be ultimately owned and
operated by Glendora.
RECITALS
A. The Company is developing approximately 1,250 residential units on
approximately 317 acres of land commonly known as the "Rosedale Project" (the "Property")
located in Azusa.
B. The Company has requested that the City Council of Azusa initiate proceedings to
form the CFD pursuant to the provisions of the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982,
Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California
Government Code (the "Act").
C. The Company has requested and proposed that the CFD be formed for the
purpose of providing the means of financing the acquisition of, among other things, the public
facilities described in Exhibit A hereto, together with appurtenances and appurtenant work (the
"Acquisition Facilities"). Upon the construction of the Acquisition Facilities by or on behalf of
the Company and the inspection and the acceptance thereof by Glendora, the Acquisition
Facilities will be owned and operated by Glendora.
D. Glendora will maintain the Sierra Madre — 30" Waterline following the transfer of
ownership thereto. The parties will maintain the other Acquisition Facilities pursuant to the Cost
Sharing and Maintenance Agreement Between the City of Azusa and the City of Glendora
(Extension of Citrus Avenue and Related Improvements).
E. The Company has not yet determined that it will finance any or all of the
Acquisition Facilities, and the parties acknowledge that this Agreement is for the purpose of
meeting the requirements of the Act.
F. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall make a one-time deposit
with Glendora in the amount mutually agreed to by the Company and the City to cover the costs

of Glendora, which deposit shall be reimbursed to the Company by the CFD as part of the
purchase price of the Acquisition Facilities (the "Inspection Deposit").
A-1
G. The Act provides that the CFD may finance the Acquisition Facilities only
pursuant to a joint community facilities agreement adopted pursuant to Government Code
Section 53316.2.
H. Azusa and Glendora have determined that entering into a joint community
facilities agreement to enable the CFD to finance some or all of the acquisition of the Acquisition
Facilities will be beneficial to the residents of each entity and, therefore, desire to enter into this
joint community facilities agreement pursuant to Government Code Section 53316.2.
I. Nothing'contained herein shall be construed as requiring the Company to take any
specific action or deliver any specific Acquisition Facility or for Azusa to form the CFD and
issue special tax bonds, provided that the purchase price for the Acquisition Facilities shall only
be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
J. Nothing contained herein alters the Company's obligation to construct the
Acquisition Facilities pursuant to its development approvals and the Settlement Agreement
(Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report) dated March 18, 2003, by
and among Glendora, Azusa and Monrovia Nursery Company, a California corporation (the

Facilities that the parties later determine will be acquired and the plans and specifications for the
construction of such Acquisition Facilities (the "Plans and Specifications") with a portion of the
proceeds of the CFD Bonds (the "Bonds") or with the special taxes collected in the CFD (the
"Special Taxes"). Upon approval of the Plans and Specifications by Glendora, the Company
shall provide Glendora with a copy of the completed Plans and Specifications. Notwithstanding
any sale of Bonds, Glendora may draw upon the Inspection Deposit to pay any fees incurred to
review the Plans and Specifications. Construction of the Acquisition Facilities shall be in public
rights-of-way or on land that will be deeded, with Acceptable Title (as defined herein), upon
OA
completion and acceptance. Any facility constructed pursuant to this Agreement shall remain the
property of the Company until accepted by Glendora. The Company may proceed with the
construction of the Acquisition Facilities in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof.

by Company.
4. Public Works Requirements. In order to insure that the Acquisition
Facilities will be constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision,
or under the authority of, Glendora, so that they may be acquired by Glendora pursuant to
Government Code Section 53313.5, the Company shall comply with all of the following
requirements with respect to any Acquisition Facilities to be financed with proceeds of the Bonds
or the Special Taxes:
(a) The Company shall publicly advertise for bids from firms reasonably
determined by Company to be qualified to construct the Acquisition Facilities in conformance
with the Plans and Specifications.

(d) Said contractors shall be required to furnish labor and material payment
bonds and contract performance bonds in an amount equal to 100% of the contract price naming
the Company and Glendora as obligees. Rather than requiring its contractors to provide such
bonds, the Company may elect to provide same for the benefit of its contractors.
(e) All such contractors shall meet the insurance requirements described in
Section 15 throughout the term of the construction of the Acquisition Facilities which they will
construct in conformance with the approved Plans and Specifications. The Company shall
furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements for each contractor at least five (5) days prior
to the contractor entering the job site, or the Company shall furnish an endorsement including all
contractors as insureds under its policies.
(f) The Company and all such contractors shall comply with such other
requirements relating to the construction of the Acquisition Facilities to the extent required as a
result of changes in applicable laws, during the progress of construction thereof. The Company
shall be deemed the awarding body and shall be solely responsible for compliance and
enforcement of the provisions of the Labor Code, the Government Code and the Public Contract
Code to the extent expressly applicable to a non-governmental entity constructing infrastructure
to be acquired by a public entity.
(g) All responsibility for compliance with this Section 4 lies with the
Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the requirements of this Section 4 are
conditions for financing an Acquisition Facility with the proceeds of the Bonds or the Special
Taxes, but should the Company elect not to finance an Acquisition Facility with the proceeds of
the Bonds or the Special Taxes, the Company shall not be required to comply with this Section 4.
5. Inspection; Completion of Construction. Glendora shall have primary
responsibility for providing inspection of the work of construction of the Acquisition Facilities to
insure that the work of construction is accomplished in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications. Glendora's personnel shall have access to the construction site at all reasonable
times for the purpose of accomplishing such inspection. Upon the completion of the
construction of the Acquisition Facilities, the Company shall notify Glendora in writing that the
construction of the Acquisition Facilities has been completed in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications. For each such notice, Glendora shall pay all related inspection fees by drawing
upon the Inspection Deposit. Glendora shall maintain written records of all such draws. As an
Actual Cost, the CFD will include the full amount of the Inspection Deposit in the purchase price
of the Acquisition Facilities. If, for any reason, the Acquisition Facilities are not purchased by
the CFD, the full amount of the Inspection Deposit remaining unexpended shall be remitted to
the Company.
Upon receiving such written notification from the Company, and upon receipt of written
notification from its inspectors, and upon Glendora being satisfied that construction of the
Acquisition Facilities has been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and
Glendora's standard requirements, Glendora shall, within 15 calendar days, notify the Company
in writing that the construction of the Acquisition Facilities has been satisfactorily completed.
4
Upon receiving such notification, the Company shall file with the County Recorder of the
County of Los Angeles (the "County Recorder") a Notice of Completion pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3093 of the Civil Code. The Company shall furnish to Glendora a
duplicate copy of each such Notice of Completion showing thereon the date of filing with the
County Recorder.
6. Liens. Upon the expiration of the time for the recording of claim of liens as
prescribed by Sections 3115 and 3116 of the Civil Code, the Company shall provide to Glendora
evidence that all persons, firms and corporations supplying work, labor, materials, supplies and
equipment for the construction of the Acquisition Facilities have been paid, and that no claims of
liens have been recorded by or on behalf of any such person, firm or corporation. Rather than
await the expiration of the said time for the recording of claims of liens, the Company may elect
to provide to Glendora a title insurance policy or other security guaranteeing that no such claims
of liens will be recorded or become a lien upon the property.
7. Acquisition Acceptable Title, Acquisition Price; Source of Funds.
(a) Provided the Company has complied with the requirements of this
Agreement, Glendora agrees to acquire any Acquisition Facilities constructed by the Company.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Company to construct
or deliver any Acquisition Facility. The price to be paid by the CFD for the acquisition of the
Acquisition Facilities shall be the total of the Actual Costs incurred by the Company to design,
engineer and construct the Acquisition Facilities, including a 5% construction management cost
and the Inspection Deposit. As a condition to the payment of such acquisition price, the
Company shall (i) transfer ownership of the Acquisition Facilities to Glendora by grant deed, bill
of sale or such other documentation as appropriate; and (ii) deliver a copy of the recorded
documents conveying to Glendora "Acceptable Title" (as defined below) to the real property on,
in or over which such Acquisition Facility is located.
"Acceptable Title" shall mean title to land or interest therein, in form acceptable to
Glendora, which title or interest is free and clear of all liens, taxes, assessments, leases,
easements and encumbrances, whether or not recorded, unless any such liens or exceptions are
determined by Glendora 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 such offer is in a form acceptable to Glendora.
Upon the request of Glendora, the Company shall furnish to Glendora a preliminary title
report for land with respect to Acquisition Facilities to be acquired by Glendora and not
previously dedicated or otherwise conveyed to Glendora, for review and approval at least fifteen
(15) calendar days prior to the transfer of Acceptable Title of an Acquisition Facility to
Glendora. Glendora shall approve the preliminary title report unless it reveals a matter which, in
the judgment of Glendora, could materially affect the Glendora's use and enjoyment of any part
of the property or easement covered by the preliminary title report for the purpose for which the
property or easement is being conveyed. In the event Glendora does not approve the preliminary
title report, Glendora shall not be obligated to accept title to such Acquisition Facility and the
CFD shall not be obligated to pay the purchase price for such Acquisition Facility until the
Company has cured such objections to title to the satisfaction of Glendora.
Wi
Upon the transfer of ownership of the Acquisition Facilities, Glendora shall promptly
authorize Azusa in writing (which shall be a requisition form required by Azusa) to pay to the
Company the purchase price of the Acquisition Facilities.
(b) Upon completion of the construction of the Acquisition Facilities, the
Company shall deliver to the CFD and Glendora copies of the contract(s) with the contractor(s)
who have constructed the Acquisition Facilities or other relevant documentation with regard to
the payments made to such contractor(s) for the construction of the Acquisition Facilities, and
shall also provide to the CFD and Glendora invoices and purchase orders with respect to all
supplies and materials purchased for the construction of the Acquisition Facilities.
(c) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the sole source
of funds for the acquisition by Glendora of the Acquisition Facilities or any portion thereof shall
be the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds (if sold for such purpose) made available by the CFD
for such purpose pursuant to Section 2 above or the Special Taxes.
(d) Azusa, Glendora and the Company acknowledge that (i) to the extent the
Company has constructed and Glendora has accepted (for payment purposes) all or any part of
the Acquisition Facilities, the Company may submit to Azusa a requisition for payment (a
"Requisition") for such Acquisition Facilities for reimbursement from the proceeds of the initial
series issuance of the Bonds; (ii) the Company may be constructing Acquisition Facilities prior
to the issuance of any Additional Bonds the proceeds of which will be used to reimburse the
Company for those Acquisition Facilities not funded from the initial series of the Bonds; (iii) the
Company may be submitting Requisitions to Azusa in advance of such an issuance of the
additional Bonds, with knowledge that there may be insufficient funds then available for
reimbursement; (iv) irrespective of the availability of amounts available to the CFD to pay for
such Acquisition Facilities, Glendora shall inspect and review the Acquisition Facilities as set
forth in this Agreement, and, if such Acquisition Facilities are acceptable, Glendora will provide
written acknowledgment (the "City Acknowledgment") that the Acquisition Facilities have
been completed in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications and this Agreement;
and (v) the payment of any Requisitions will be deferred until the date, if any, on which there are
amounts available to make all or part of such payment, at which time Azusa will direct the Fiscal
Agent to wire transfer (or pay in another mutually acceptable manner) to the payee(s) identified
in such Requisitions. The Requisitions may be (i) paid in increments as funds become available
from Bond or special tax proceeds, and (ii) paid out of the proceeds of any series of Bonds or
Special Taxes collected in any Improvement Area.
The Company may pay for the Acquisition Facilities prior to the issuance of Bonds or
when there are insufficient funds to reimburse the Company for such payment. Any Acquisition
Facilities constructed by the Company shall be made with the understanding that, upon
acceptance of such Acquisition Facilities by Glendora, such Acquisition Facilities shall be
reimbursed from (i) the proceeds of the Bonds if, and when, Bonds are issued, (ii) Special Taxes
levied in the CFD, or (iii) funds otherwise available in the applicable funds of the CFD. The
acceptance by Glendora of the Acquisition Facilities prior to the issuance of Bonds or when there
are insufficient funds to reimburse the Company for such payment, shall not be construed as a
dedication or gift of the Acquisition Facilities, or a waiver of reimbursement of such Acquisition
Facilities.
Z
8. Easements and/or Fee Title Ownership Deeds. The Company shall, at the
time Glendora acquires the Acquisition Facilities as provided in Section 7 hereof, grant
Acceptable Title to Glendora, by appropriate instruments prescribed by Glendora, all easements
across private property and/or fee title ownership deeds which may be necessary for the proper
operation and maintenance of the improvements, or any part thereof.
9. Maintenance. On or before the acceptance date of the Acquisition Facilities,
the Company shall assign to Glendora all of the Developer's rights in any warranties, guarantees,
maintenance obligations or other evidence of contingent obligations of third persons with respect
to such Acquisition Facilities. The Company shall provide a warranty bond reasonably
acceptable in form and substance to the City Manager of Glendora for one-year after the
acceptance date of the Acquisition Facilities, to insure that defects, which appear within said
period will be repaired, replaced, or corrected by the Company, at its own cost and expense, to
the satisfaction of the City Manager of Glendora. The Company shall commence to repair,
replace or correct any such defects within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by
Glendora to the Company, and shall complete such repairs, replacement or correction as soon as
practicable. After such one-year period, the warranty bond shall be released.
Prior to the transfer of ownership of the Acquisition Facilities by the Company to
Glendora, as provided in Section 7 hereof, the Company shall be responsible for the maintenance
thereof and shall maintain and transfer the Acquisition Facilities to Glendora in as good
condition as the Acquisition Facilities were in at the time the Company notified Glendora that
construction of same had been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.
Upon the transfer of ownership of the Citrus Avenue Water, Sewer, Storm Drain, and
Street Improvements and the Citrus/Foothill Traffic Signal, the maintenance and inspection
thereof will be governed by the Cost Sharing and Maintenance Agreement Between the City of
Azusa and the City of Glendora (Extension of Citrus Avenue and Related Improvements). Upon
the transfer of ownership of the Sierra Madre — 30" Waterline, Glendora shall be responsible for
the maintenance thereof.
10. Inspection of Records. Glendora and Azusa shall have the right to review
all books and records of the Company pertaining to costs and expenses incurred by the Company
for the design and construction of the Acquisition Facilities during normal business hours by
making arrangements with the Company. The Company shall have the right to review all books
and records of Glendora pertaining to costs and expenses incurred by Glendora by making
arrangements with Glendora. Company shall maintain complete and accurate records with
respect to sales, costs, expenses, receipts and other such information that relate to the
performance of services under this Agreement. Company shall maintain adequate records of
services provided in sufficient detail to permit an evaluation of services. All such records shall
be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be clearly
identified and readily accessible. Such records, together with supporting documents, shall be
maintained for a period of three (3) years after receipt of final payment.
11. Ownership of Facilities. Notwithstanding the fact that some or all of the
Acquisition Facilities may be constructed in dedicated street rights-of-way or on property which
has been or will be dedicated to Glendora, the Acquisition Facilities shall be and remain the
7
property of the Company until acquired by Glendora as provided in Section 7 hereof. Such
ownership by the Company shall likewise not be affected by any agreement which the Company
may have entered into or may enter into with Azusa pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision
Map Act, Section 66410 et seq. of the Government Code, and Company warrants that nothing in
this Agreement is contrary to any contractual agreements Company has with Los Angeles
County.
12. Improvement Security; Maintenance Bond. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Agreement, the Company shall be required to secure the construction and completion of
construction of the Acquisition Facilities as required by Section 66499 through 66499.10 of the
Government Code. The Company's obligations pursuant to this section may be satisfied through
the contract performance bonds to be provided by the Company's contractor(s) pursuant to
Section 4(d) hereof.
13. Independent Contractor. In performing this Agreement, the Company is an
independent contractor and not the agent of Azusa or Glendora. Neither Azusa nor Glendora
shall have any responsibility for payment to any contractor or supplier of the Company. It is not
intended by the parties that this Agreement create a partnership or joint venture among them and
this Agreement shall not otherwise be construed. The personnel performing the services under
this Agreement on behalf of Company shall at all times be under Company's exclusive direction
and control. Neither Azusa, Glendora, nor any of their officers, employees or agents shall have
control over the conduct of Company or any of Company's officers, employees or agents, except
as set forth in this Agreement. Company shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it
or any of its officers, employees or agents are in any manner officers, employees or agents of
Azusa or Glendora. Company shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation or
liability whatever on behalf of or against Azusa or Glendora, or bind Azusa or Glendora in any
manner.
14. Indemnification. Company represents that it will employ professionals that are
skilled in the professional calling necessary to perform the services and duties agreed to
hereunder by Company, and Glendora relies upon the representation that the Company will
employ parties with such skills and knowledge. Company shall perform, or cause to be
performed, such services and duties consistent with the standards generally recognized as being
employed by professionals performing similar services in the State of California.
Glendora, its elected and appointed officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers
(individually and collectively, "Indemnitees") shall have no liability to Company or to any other
person for, and Company shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Indemnitees
from and against, any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits,
damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, "Claims"), which the Indemnitees may suffer or
incur or to which the Indemnitees may become subject by reason of or arising out of any injury
to or death of any person(s), damage to property, loss of use of property, economic loss or
otherwise occurring as a result of the acts or omissions of Company, its agents, officers, directors
or employees, in performing any of the services under this agreement.
8
If any action or proceeding is brought against the Indemnitees by reason of any of the
matters against which Company has agreed to indemnify the Indemnitees as above provided,
Company, upon notice from Glendora, shall defend the Indemnitees at Company's expense by
counsel acceptable to Glendora. The insurance required to be maintained by Consultant under
Section 15 shall ensure Company's obligations under this Section 14, but the limits of such
insurance shall not limit the liability of the Company hereunder. The provisions of this Section
14 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold
harmless any Indemnitee for the negligence or willful misconduct of Glendora, its elected and
appointed officials, officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
15. Insurance. Prior to the commencement of construction of the Acquisition
Facilities, and at all times 'during construction of the Acquisition Facilities, the Company agrees
to maintain, or cause its contractors to maintain, the following insurance with a current A.M.
Best's rating of no less than A:VII:
(a) Worker's Compensation insurance covering employees of the Company in such
amounts as required by law.
(b) Commercial General Liability insurance in the amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000), naming Glendora as an additional insured.
(c) Errors and Omissions liability insurance maintained by consultants providing
professional services in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence.
(d) Automobile liability insurance in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)
per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
(e) The general liability and automobile liability policies are to contain, or be endorsed
to contain, the following provisions:
1. Glendora, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers to be covered as
insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf
of the Company; products and completed operations of the Company; premises
owned, occupied or used by the Company; or automobiles owned, leased, hired
or borrowed by the Company. The coverage shall contain no special limitations
on the scope of protection afforded to Glendora, its officers, officials,
employees or volunteers.
2. For any claims related to this project, the Company's insurance coverage shall
be primary insurance as respects Glendora, its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the Company, its
officers, officials, employees or volunteers shall be excess of the Company's
insurance and shall not contribute with it.
9
3. Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies
including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to Glendora,
its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
4. The Company's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom
claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's
liability.
5. Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that
coverage shall not be suspended, voided, canceled by either party, reduced in
coverage or in limits except after 30 day's prior written notice by Certified Mail,
Return Receipt Requested, has been given to Glendora.
(f) Company shall furnish the Glendora City Manager annually with original
endorsements affecting coverage required by this clause. The endorsements are to
be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The
endorsements are to be on forms acceptable to Glendora. All endorsements are to
be received and approved by Glendora before work commences. As an alternative
to the Glendora forms, the Company's insurer may provide complete, certified
copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements affecting the
coverage required by these specifications in the form of a Certificate of Insurance.
(g) The Company's obligations pursuant to this section shall cease upon the acquisition
of the Acquisition Facilities by Glendora as provided in Section 7 hereof.
16. Governmental Use of Facilities. Glendora shall use the Acquisition Facilities in a
manner that will not cause interest on the Bonds to become included in gross income of the
holders thereof for federal income tax purposes. Glendora represents the following with respect
to the use of the Acquisition Facilities:
(a) In General. The Acquisition Facilities will be used for "General Public
Use" only. The term "General Public Use" exists only if the property is intended to be available
to members of the general public on an equal basis and is in fact reasonably available for use on
the same basis by natural persons not engaged in a trade or business. Should Glendora wish to
change such use, it will first obtain an opinion of bond counsel to the effect that the exemption of
interest from gross income of the Bonds will not be adversely affected. As of the date hereof, no
portion of the Acquisition Facilities is expected to be used to provide property subject to
contracts or other arrangements with persons or entities engaged in a trade or business (other
than governmental units) that involve the management of property or the provision of services.
17. Assam. The Company may assign its rights pursuant to this Agreement to
one or more purchasers of the Property (other than individual homeowners) who shall be the
owner of all or a portion of the Acquisition Facilities and to whom the Company shall assign the
right to receive payment of the acquisition price for the Acquisition Facilities. Such a purchaser
and assignee shall, as a condition to receiving payment of such acquisition price, enter into an
assignment agreement with Glendora and Azusa, in a form acceptable to Glendora and Azusa,
10
whereby such purchaser agrees, except as may be otherwise specifically provided therein, to
assume the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement and to be bound thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 17 shall not apply to the sale of any residence to a
homeowner.
18. Non-Discrinination Clause. Company shall not discriminate, in any way, against
any person on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, physical
handicap, medical condition or marital status in connection with or related to the performance of
this Agreement and shall comply with the provisions of the State Fair Employment Practices Act as
set forth in Part 4.5 of the Division 2 of the California Labor Code; the Federal Civil Rights Act of
1964, as set forth in Public Law 88-352, and all amendments thereto; Executive Order No. 11246;
and all administrative rules and regulations issued pursuant to such acts and order.
19. UFiautliorized Aliens. Company hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of
the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.A. & 1101, et seq.), as
amended; and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein.
Should Company so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or
services covered by this contract, and should the Federal Government impose sanctions against
Glendora for such use of unauthorized aliens, Company hereby agrees to, and shall, reimburse
Glendora for the cost of all such sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by Glendora in connection therewith.
20. Notices. Any notice, payment or instrument required or permitted by this

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUCE COLEMAN, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
VIA: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER /6"Y
BY: ROY BRUCI(N JECT MANAGER
DATE: MAY 15, 2006
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS FOR CITRUS
AVE. AND PALM DRIVE UNDERCROSSINGS, CITRUS AVE. MAINTENANCE SHARING
AGREEMENT, DETENTION BASIN MOU WITH THE CITY OF GLENDORA AND OTHER
AGENCIES, AND JOINT COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGREEMENT, ALL RELATED TO
THE ROSEDALE PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the following agreements, and authorize their
execution:
1. A Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Maintenance and Construction of Detention
Basins.
2. Citrus Ave. Maintenance Sharing Agreement
3. Construction and Maintenance Agreement for the Citrus Ave. Undercrossing
4. Construction and Maintenance Agreement for the Palm Drive Undercrossing
5. Joint Community Facilities Agreement for the construction of certain improvements under City
of Azusa Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Rosedale).
BACKGROUND
The Monrovia Nursery project site interfaces with the City of Glendora along the east side of the
site's boundary. This interface area requires the City of Glendora's cooperation and approval for
various items, including construction of graded and landscaped slopes, detention basins, utility
connections and relocations, street extensions, and the Citrus Ave. underpass. Glendora Staff has
reviewed and approved the concept and construction plans for these facilities. Similarly, the
Glendora Planning Commission has approved necessary grading and drainage improvements.
Connected with the aforementioned facilities are construction and maintenance agreements, which
have been reviewed and were approved by the Glendora City Council on May 9, 2006. In addition,
other agencies that are party to two of the four agreements have approved and executed them. The
City of Azusa must now execute said agreements as well. A description of the agreements, which k
are attached, is as follows: ri 1
1. Detention Basin Memorandum of Understanding. This MOU was originally struct redi IF
0
execution between ALP and Glendora. Its purpose is to set forth the understanding that ALP will
construct three detention basins and that ALP or Monrovia Nursery will maintain them. One
basin will be located along the Azusa — Glendora boundary just south of Sierra Madre Ave. (Area
D Detention Basin), another will be located just east of the Dhammakaya Meditation Center,
straddling the City boundary (Citrus Detention Basin), while the third basin will be located entirely
in Glendora near Calera Ave. (Hicrest Basin). Monrovia Nursery and ALP agreed to construct the
Hicrest Basin to assist in a local drainage problem in the Calera Ave. area.
The MOU sets forth drainage standards, and requires ALP to construct the improvements
consistent with the drainage standards. In addition, the MOU describes maintenance standards
and responsibilities, with ALP responsible for the Area D and Citrus basins, Monrovia Nursery for
the Hicrest Basin, and the City of Azusa responsible for only the inlet structures at the Area D and
Citrus Ave. Basins. ALP plans to convey the Citrus and Area D Basins along with the maintenance
responsibilities to the Rosedale Homeowners Association after construction.
The City of Glendora has requested that the City of Azusa be made a party to the agreement, in
order to facilitate the City of Azusa's enforcement if for some reason the HOA fails to provide
adequate maintenance. Azusa's City Attorney has requested that enforcement and
indemnification provisions be added to the MOU, which has been done.
2. Citrus Ave. Maintenance A;reement. The extension of Citrus Ave. from Foothill Blvd. into the
Rosedale project will serve only the City of Azusa at this time, since no Glendora streets are
planned to connect. The street alignment straddles the border between the two cities, and a
large portion of the right-of-way is situated on the Glendora side. Since Glendora did not want
the responsibility for maintaining a street that does not serve its citizens, the attached
maintenance agreement was drafted that essentially provides for the following:
a. As long as Glendora does not use the Citrus Ave. extension, Azusa will pay 100% of the
maintenance cost of the street and related facilities.
b. When significant Glendora traffic begins using the subject street, or a Glendora street is
connected to the Citrus Ave. extension, a traffic study would be prepared to determine
fair share responsibility for maintenance cost, with appropriate maintenance cost
adjustments made. The cost of the study would be shared by both cities.
c. Glendora will maintain the street, and would bill the City of Azusa.
d. Azusa may at any time audit Glendora's maintenance cost records.
3. Citrus A_ve. Bricjge 6greement. This agreement pertains to the railroad underpass that will be
constructed by ALP pursuant to their entitlements. This bridge over Citrus Ave. straddles the City
boundary, with one bridge abutment located in Azusa, and the other in the City of Glendora. For
this reason, both cities must execute the agreement, along with the SCRRA (Southern California
Regional Rail Authority, who maintains all railroad facilities for MTA), Pasadena Blue Line
Construction Authority (constructing the Gold Line), and Azusa Land Partners. The agreement
generally provides for the following:
a. ALP will provide all construction and arrange for funding necessary to build the bridge
structure. The construction will be funded via the CFD. -,
b. Azusa and Glendora will both be granted easements for roadway purposes for the street
right of way below the bridge.
c. The Los Angeles to Pasadena Blue Line Construction Authority will own the underpass
after construction, and will be responsible for the maintenance of the bridge structure and
abutments.
4. Palm Drive Bridge Agreement. This agreement is identical to the Citrus Ave bridge agreement,
except that it applies to the underpass that will be constructed over Palm Drive. Glendora is not
a party to this agreement.
5. Joint Community Facilities Agreement {]CFA). The Community Facilities District to be formed will
finance various improvements that ultimately will be conveyed and maintained by other agencies.
In order to accomplish this, jCFAs must be executed with the affected agencies. This agreement
provides for the construction and conveyance of certain improvements to the City of Glendora,
including the Citrus Ave. utility and street improvements, the Sierra Madre Ave. water line, and a
possible traffic signal at Citrus Ave. and Foothill Blvd., should one be necessary.
The bridge designs have been plan checked and are ready to be approved from a structural
standpoint. However, the aesthetic design of both bridges must still be submitted by ALP for
approval by both cities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The execution of these agreements would bind the City to ongoing maintenance of Citrus Ave. and its
related facilities, and maintenance of the detention basin inlets. However, these maintenance items
are not extraordinary, and would exist even without these agreements, were it not for the multi -
jurisdictional issues. The cost of maintaining the public rights of way of the project was included in
the Monrovia Nursery Fiscal Impact Study, which assumed that the General Fund would fund this City
service through increased revenues generated by the new Rosedale development.

negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees, and is in addition to any other rights or remedies, which
Indemnitees may have under the law or under this Agreement.
Claims against the Indemnitees by the Contractor or its Personnel shall not limit the Contractor's
indemnification obligations hereunder in any way, whether or not such claims against Indemnitees may

Agency self-insurance requirements, SCRRA and Member Agency may in SCRRA's sole and absolute
discretion permit the Contractor to self -insure. The right to self -insure with respect to any coverage
required hereunder may be granted or revoked at the sole and absolute discretion of SCRRA or any
Member Agency. SCRRA or Member Agency shall not be liable for the payment of any premiums or

III. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND SAFETY
A. Overview
These safety regulations govern your activities while on SCRRA member agency
property regardless if on or off duty. Any work performed without obtaining
proper authorization or compliance with these rules will permanently jeopardize
your ability to be allowed on railroad right-of-way. These rules cover unique
requirements and general workplace safety.
B. Employee In Charge
1. Duties and Responsibilities: On -Track Safety.
Work performed by any contractor is regulated by Title 49 Part 214 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, as specified in SCRRA's General Code of
Operating Rules (GCOR) and as administered by a SCRRA EIC. A
SCRRA EIC is referred to as providing "Flag" protection against trains.
SCRRA EICs have been trained and qualified in GCOR and the
characteristics of the SCRRA territory. They will provide selected
training, job briefings, and flag protection to assure both the contractor's
safe work environment and the safe passage of trains. The SCRRA EIC
has the authority to temporarily or permanently halt work and to remove
contractor's employee(s) from the right -of- way in order to assure safe
work. In all cases the contractor's employees must comply immediately
with the instructions of the EIC.
4
2. Appeals: Right To Challenge
Contractor employees may, during the job briefing process, request
clarification of the protection against trains being provided by the EIC.
If the Contractor employee does not believe that the protection against
trains is sufficient, the employee may, in good faith, challenge the EIC's
form of protection and must remain clear of all tracks until the challenge is
resolved. The EIC, Contractor Supervisor and the SCRRA Supervisor will
resolve the challenge before work can begin.
3. Appeals: EIC Decisions
If the Contractor has concerns about instructions of the EIC, the
Contractor and Contractor's employees are to immediately comply with
the EIC's instructions. After employees are clear of tracks, Contractor
may contact EIC's Supervisor to resolve concerns. In other words,
"comply, then complain."
C. Job Briefings
Job briefings, as given by the EIC, are meetings of all who are or will be
involved in a particular task or job at the same work site and are required
prior to beginning work each day.
2. All information related to On -Track -Safety must be given in the job
briefing to any worker who will enter railroad property. In addition to
other safety issues, the minimum On -Track Safety information must
include:
■ Designation of the Employee In Charge (EIC),
■ Type of track protection,
• Time limits of the protection,
• Track(s) that may be fouled,
• Status of other track(s) at worksite,
• A designated place of safety where workers clear for trains,
• A designated assembly place in case of an emergency,
• Designated work zones,
• Specific job(s) to be done or equipment moves(s) to be made,
• Responsibilities of each worker,
• Method of notification (e.g. air horn) of approach of trains.
Additional instructions may include an unusual or a specific reminder due
to a hazardous condition or unusual practice.
Additional job briefings will be given when:
• Working conditions or procedures change,
• Workers arrive late or new workers enter working limits,
■ When the main track protection or time allowed to foul the track
changes,
• When visitor(s) enter the work site.
D. General Safety
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AND ALWAYS TOP PRIORITY. Safety
takes precedence over deadlines, production schedules, and all other
considerations. When uncertainty arises, take the safe course. Remember
accidents are a result of carelessness, unsafe practices, lack of
attention or complacency. Any accident can be avoided.
2. Using, possessing, or working under the influence of alcohol and /or drugs
is not permitted while working anywhere on railroad property. This
includes prescription drugs that cause drowsiness or otherwise impair
one's ability to perform their as$igned task.
The use or possession of unauthorized radio equipment is forbidden. Use
of personal radios, portable tape cassette players or portable disc or record
players while working is prohibited.
4. Horseplay, physical altercations, running or jumping are forbidden.
Firearms or other deadly weapons, including knives with a blade in excess
of three (3) inches are prohibited on SCRRA member agency property.
Work on public streets, roadway crossings, and highway bridges should be
performed with due regard for the convenience and safety of the public.
All employees must look in both directions before crossing any track or
roadway.
Only authorized employees are allowed on engines, cars, cabooses, track
cars or other railroad equipment.
en using cellular priones you must remain afleast 2 - ee om he
nearest running rail
E. RIGHT-OF-WAY SAFETY
When on or near the tracks, the following precautions must be taken:
1. Keep clear of all tracks unless an SCRRA EIC protects them.
2. Before crossing tracks look both ways.
Expect movement of locomotives, railroad cars or on -track equipment in
either direction at any time. (Remember: there could be an uncontrolled
movement.)
4. Always step over the rails when crossing the tracks. Never walk, stand, or
sit on the rails. The rail surface can be extremely slippery.
Stay away from track switches. The switch points can move unexpectedly
and with enough force to crush ballast rock! Stand 150 feet from track
switches when trains are approaching, make sure that you face
approaching trains at all times. Stay away from any other railroad device
you are not sure of.
When crossing the tracks in a group, walk single file.
7. Never stand between adjacent tracks in multiple track territory when a
train is passing.
When crossing tracks occupied by standing engines, railroad cars, or on -
track equipment workers must provide at least 20 feet clearance from the
end of any piece of equipment.
9. Do not cross track(s) if there is less than 50 feet between trains, cars, or
equipment.
10. Employees must not cross tracks by going underneath, over or through
cars, engines or on -track equipment.
11. Work is not allowed within 50 feet of the track centerline while trains are
passing the work site. Always stand as far back as possible to prevent
injury from flying debris or loose rigging. Face the direction from which
the trains or on -track equipment is approaching
12. Visually inspect all passing trains. If you detect a dangerous condition,
inform your EIC immediately. The EIC will warn the train crew to stop
their train. If the train does not stop immediately, the EIC will notify the
train dispatcher.
13. Never remain in a vehicle that is within 20 feet of the nearest running rail
of a passing train. Stop your vehicle on the approach of a moving train.
Move vehicles away from the track at least 20 feet or park the vehicles
away from the tracks and, if safety permits, get out of your vehicle and
walk to a safe location away from the tracks.
14. Equipment must be stopped while train is passing through your working
limits. No movement will be allowed toward an approaching train that
would cause the engineer to believe the track was going to be fouled.
15. Trains are traveling faster than they appear and are relatively quiet.
Moving trains are to be expected on any track at anytime from either
direction. Engines can push or pull a train. Employees should not rely on
past experiences to determine train schedule. Train's schedules are
unpredictable and trains are subject to schedule changes or delays.
F. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
All employees working on SCRRA member agency property will be required to
wear the following protective equipment (except in offices and motor vehicles):
Hard hats that meet the requirements of ANSI Z89.1 or ANSI Z89.2, as

sole shoes must not be worn on SCRRA property.
G. HOUSE KEEPING
CPUC General Order 260 and 118 require that lateral and vertical
clearance around a railroad track and a safe walkway parallel to both sides
of the track be maintained. The EIC will observe construction and
material storage activities and may direct contractor's employee(s) to
correct conditions not in compliance with the CPUC General Orders.
Keeping premises, tools and equipment in a clean and orderly condition is
essential to safety and is the responsibility of the contract's employee(s).

execution between ALP and Glendora. Its purpose is to set forth the understanding that ALP will
construct three detention basins and that ALP or Monrovia Nursery will maintain them. One
basin will be located along the Azusa - Glendora boundary just south of Sierra Madre Ave. (Area
D Detention Basin), another will be located just east of the Dhammakaya Meditation Center,
straddling the City boundary (Citrus Detention Basin), while the third basin will be located entirely
in Glendora near Calera Ave. (Hicrest Basin). Monrovia Nursery and ALP agreed to construct the
Hicrest Basin to assist in a local drainage problem in the Calera Ave. area.
The MOU sets forth drainage standards, and requires ALP to construct the improvements
consistent with the drainage standards. In addition, the MOU describes maintenance standards
and responsibilities, with ALP responsible for the Area D and Citrus basins, Monrovia Nursery for
the Hicrest Basin, and the City of Azusa responsible for only the inlet structures at the Area D and
Citrus Ave. Basins. ALP plans to convey the Citrus and Area D Basins along with the maintenance
responsibilities to the Rosedale Homeowners Association after construction.
The City of Glendora has requested that the City of Azusa be made a party to the agreement, in
order to facilitate the City of Azusa's enforcement if for some reason the HOA fails to provide
adequate maintenance. Azusa's City Attorney has requested that enforcement and
indemnification provisions be added to the MOU, which has been done.
2. Cirrils Ave. Maintenance A greement. The extension of Citrus Ave. from Foothill Blvd. into the
Rosedale project will serve only the City of Azusa at this time, since no Glendora streets are
planned to connect. The street alignment straddles the border between the two cities, and a
large portion of the right-of-way is situated on the Glendora side. Since Glendora did not want
the responsibility for maintaining a street that does not serve its citizens, the attached
maintenance agreement was drafted that essentially provides for the following:
a. As long as Glendora does not use the Citrus Ave. extension, Azusa will pay 100% of the
maintenance cost of the street and related facilities.
b. When significant Glendora traffic begins using the subject street, or a Glendora street is
connected to the Citrus Ave. extension, a traffic study would be prepared to determine
fair share responsibility for maintenance cost, with appropriate maintenance cost
adjustments made. The cost of the study would be shared by both cities.
c. Glendora will maintain the street, and would bill the City of Azusa.
d. Azusa may at any time audit Glendora's maintenance cost records.
3. Citrus Ave. Bridge Agreement. This agreement pertains to the railroad underpass that will be
constructed by ALP pursuant to their entitlements. This bridge over Citrus Ave. straddles the City
boundary, with one bridge abutment located in Azusa, and the other in the City of Glendora. For
this reason, both cities must execute the agreement, along with the SCRRA (Southern California
Regional Rail Authority, who maintains all railroad facilities for MTA), Pasadena Blue Line
Construction Authority (constructing the Gold Line), and Azusa Land Partners. The agreement
generally provides for the following:
a. ALP will provide all construction and arrange for funding necessary to build the bridge
structure. The construction will be funded via the CFD. --
b. Azusa and Glendora will both be granted easements for roadway purposes for the street
right of way below the bridge.
c. The Los Angeles to Pasadena Blue Line Construction Authority will own the underpass
after construction, and will be responsible for the maintenance of the bridge structure and
abutments.
4. Palrn Di ire B rid e A�reemenr. This agreement is identical to the Citrus Ave bridge agreement,
except that it applies to the underpass that will be constructed over Palm Drive. Glendora is not
a party to this agreement.
5. Joint Community Facilities Agreement (JCFA). The Community Facilities District to be formed will
finance various improvements that ultimately will be conveyed and maintained by other agencies.
In order to accomplish this, JCFAs must be executed with the affected agencies. This agreement
provides for the construction and conveyance of certain improvements to the City of Glendora,
including the Citrus Ave. utility and street improvements, the Sierra Madre Ave. water line, and a
possible traffic signal at Citrus Ave. and Foothill Blvd., should one be necessary.
The bridge designs have been plan checked and are ready to be approved from a structural
standpoint. However, the aesthetic design of both bridges must still be submitted by ALP for
approval by both cities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The execution of these agreements would bind the City to ongoing maintenance of Citrus Ave. and its
related facilities, and maintenance of the detention basin inlets. However, these maintenance items
are not extraordinary, and would exist even without these agreements, were it not for the multi -
jurisdictional issues. The cost of maintaining the public rights of way of the project was included in
the Monrovia Nursery Fiscal Impact Study, which assumed that the General Fund would fund this City
service through increased revenues generated by the new Rosedale development.

liability, claims, demands, suits, liens, claims of lien, damages (including incidental consequential
damages), costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any fines, penalties, judgments, actual
litigation expenses and experts' and actual attorneys' fees), that are incurred by or asserted against

its officers, directors, affiliates, subcontractors or agents or anyone directly or indirectly employed by
them or for whose acts the foregoing persons are liable (collectively, "Personnel") in connection with or
arising from the presence upon or performance of activities by the Contractor or its Personnel with respect

the existence, amounts and coverage of the insurance and signed by a person authorized by the insurer to
bind coverage on its behalf. In most instances, SCRRA and Member Agency do not allow self-insurance;

III. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND SAFETY
A. Overview
These safety regulations govern your activities while on SCRRA member agency
property regardless if on or off duty. Any work performed without obtaining
proper authorization or compliance with these rules will permanently jeopardize
your ability to be allowed on railroad right-of-way. These rules cover unique
requirements and general workplace safety.
B. Employee In Charge
1. Duties and Responsibilities: On -Track Safety.
Work performed by any contractor is regulated by Title 49 Part 214 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, as specified in SCRRA's General Code of
Operating Rules (GCOR) and as administered by a SCRRA EIC. A
SCRRA EIC is referred to as providing "Flag" protection against trains.
SCRRA EICs have been trained and qualified in GCOR and the
characteristics of the SCRRA territory. They will provide selected
training, job briefings, and flag protection to assure both the contractor's
safe work environment and the safe passage of trains. The SCRRA EIC
has the authority to temporarily or permanently halt work and to remove
contractor's employee(s) from the right -of- way in order to assure safe
work. In all cases the contractor's employees must comply immediately
with the instructions of the EIC.
4
Appeals: Right To Challenge
Contractor employees may, during the job briefing process, request
clarification of the protection against trains being provided by the EIC.
If the Contractor employee does not believe that the protection against
trains is sufficient, the employee may, in good faith, challenge the EIC's
form of protection and must remain clear of all tracks until the challenge is
resolved. The EIC, Contractor Supervisor and the SCRRA Supervisor will
resolve the challenge before work can begin.
3. Appeals: EIC Decisions
If the Contractor has concerns about instructions of the EIC, the
Contractor and Contractor's employees are to immediately comply with
the EIC's instructions. After employees are clear of tracks, Contractor
may contact EIC's Supervisor to resolve concerns. In other words,
"comply, then complain."
C. Job Briefings
job briefings, as given by the EIC, are meetings of all who are or will be
involved in a particular task or job at the same work site and are required
prior to beginning work each day.
2. All information related to On -Track -Safety must be given in the job
briefing to any worker who will enter railroad property. In addition to
other safety issues, the minimum On -Track Safety information must
include:
• Designation of the Employee In Charge (EIC),
• Type of track protection,
• Time limits of the protection,
■ Track(s) that may be fouled,
■ Status of other track(s) at worksite,
• A designated place of safety where workers clear for trains,
• A designated assembly place in case of an emergency,
• Designated work zones,
• Specific job(s) to be done or equipment moves(s) to be made,
• Responsibilities of each worker,
• Method of notification (e.g. air horn) of approach of trains.
Additional instructions may include an unusual or a specific reminder due
to a hazardous condition or unusual practice.
Additional job briefings will be given when:
• Working conditions or procedures change,
• Workers arrive late or new workers enter working limits,
• When the main track protection or time allowed to foul the track
changes,
• When visitor(s) enter the work site.
D. General Safety
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AND ALWAYS TOP PRIORITY. Safety
takes precedence over deadlines, production schedules, and all other
considerations. When uncertainty arises, take the safe course. Remember
accidents are a result of carelessness, unsafe practices, lack of
attention or complacency. Any accident can be avoided.
2. Using, possessing, or working under the influence of alcohol and /or drugs
is not permitted while working anywhere on railroad property. This
includes prescription drugs that cause drowsiness or otherwise impair
one's ability to perform their assigned task.
The use or possession of unauthorized radio equipment is forbidden. Use
of personal radios, portable tape cassette players or portable disc or record
players while working is prohibited.
4. Horseplay, physical altercations, running or jumping are forbidden.
Firearms or other deadly weapons, including knives with a blade in excess
of three (3) inches are prohibited on SCRRA member agency property.
6. Work on public streets, roadway crossings, and highway bridges should be
performed with due regard for the convenience and safety of the public.
7. All employees must look in both directions before crossing any track or
roadway.
8. Only authorized employees are allowed on engines, cars, cabooses, track
cars or other railroad equipment.
9. When using cellular phones you must remain at least 254M from the
nearest running rail
E. RIGHT-OF-WAY SAFETY
When on or near the tracks, the following precautions must be taken:
Keep clear of all tracks unless an SCRRA EIC protects them.
2. Before crossing tracks look both ways.
3. Expect movement of locomotives, railroad cars or on -track equipment in
either direction at any time. (Remember: there could be an uncontrolled
movement.)
4. Always step over the rails when crossing the tracks. Never walk, stand, or
sit on the rails. The rail surface can be extremely slippery.
5. Stay away from track switches. The switch points can move unexpectedly
and with enough force to crush ballast rack! Stand 150 feet from track
switches when trains are approaching, make sure that you face
approaching trains at all times. Stay away from any other railroad device
you are not sure of.
6. When crossing the tracks in a group, walk single file.
7. Never stand between adjacent tracks in multiple track territory when a
train is passing.
8. When crossing tracks occupied by standing engines, railroad cars, or on -
track equipment workers must provide at least 20 feet clearance from the
end of any piece of equipment.
9. Do not cross track(s) if there is less than 50 feet between trains, cars, or
equipment.
10. Employees must not cross tracks by going underneath, over or through
cars, engines or on -track equipment.
11. Work is not allowed within 50 feet of the track centerline while trains are
passing the work site. Always stand as far back as possible to prevent
injury from flying debris or loose rigging. Face the direction from which
the trains or on -track equipment is approaching
12.
Visually inspect all passing trains. If you detect a dangerous condition,
inform your EIC immediately. The EIC will warn the train crew to stop
their train. If the train does not stop immediately, the EIC will notify the
train dispatcher.
13. Never remain in a vehicle that is within 20 feet of the nearest running rail
of a passing train. Stop your vehicle on the approach of a moving train.
Move vehicles away from the track at least 20 feet or park the vehicles
away from the tracks and, if safety permits, get out of your vehicle and
walk to a safe location away from the tracks.
14. Equipment must be stopped while train is passing through your working
limits. No movement will be allowed toward an approaching train that
would cause the engineer to believe the track was going to be fouled.
15. Trains are traveling faster than they appear and are relatively quiet.
Moving trains are to be expected on any track at anytime from either
direction. Engines can push or pull a train. Employees should not rely on
past experiences to determine train schedule. Train's schedules are
unpredictable and trains are subject to schedule changes or delays.

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ANN GRAF GAYNOR
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
VIA: F.M. DELACH eake
CITY MANAGER
DATE: MAY 15, 2006
SUBJECT: UPGRADE TO AVAYA AND VERIZON PHONE SYSTEMS (CITY HALL
TELEPHONE SYSTEM REPAIR AND UPGRADE)
RECOMMENDATION
1. It is recommended that the City Council waive formal sealed bids in
accordance with Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-522(c) due to the fact that
Spenser Communications is covered under the California Multiple Award
Schedule CMAS agreement number 3-01-70-1488A which allows cities to
waive formal bidding.
2. It is recommended that the City Council approve the upgrade of the Avaya
Phone System and approve the issuance of a purchase order to Spenser
Communications in an amount not to exceed $13,557.72.
BACKROUND
The City has been working with Verizon and Avaya to upgrade our existing 20
year old legacy trunking infrastructure. This is a series of cables and trunks that
bridge the City's phone system to the outside world. The legacy components
that make up our phone system will be changed, and all analog feeds will be
converted to digital before being processed by our phone system. We will be
converting to digital trunking at the Verizon end and upgrading the City's phone
system to operate entirely over digital trunking.
Technically this gives us a more secure system that should eliminate any "party
line" or "cross talk" type of activity that can occur, and calls made to the city
will display the caller ID. It is imperative that we phase out all of the analog
technology, in order to keep current on our support agreements, and to take
advantage of the benefits of digital trunking.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project was not anticipated in the adopted FY2005-06 Budget. Therefore,
staff requests that Council appropriate the required $13,557.72 from
Undesignated General Fund Reserves.

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ANN GRAF
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
VIA: F.M. DELACH /2 (3
CITY MANAGER
DATE: MAY 15, 2006
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF CALL LOGGER FROM CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES
(POLICE DEPARTMENT TELEPHONE SYSTEM UPGRADE)
RECOMMENDATION
1. It is recommended that the City Council waive formal sealed bids in
accordance with Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-522(c) due to the fact
Capture Technologies is covered under the California Multiple Award Schedule
CMAS agreement number 3-03-70-1799B which allows cities to waive formal
bidding.
2. It is recommended that the City Council approve the equipment
replacement of the Voice Logger system and approve the issuance of a
purchase order to Capture Technologies in an amount not to exceed
$33,746.00.
BACKROUND
In the Police Department dispatch center a 24 hour computerized call logger
recorder is used to record all phone and radio calls received by the police
department dispatch center. This includes emergency 911 lines, business lines,
in house phone lines as well as any outgoing calls made from the dispatch
center.
Azusa primary radio channel, channel 2, Glendora Police Department's primary
channel, and the Azusa/Glendora tactical channel are also tapped. As
mentioned, the recorder runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The recordings are used to assist the District Attorney in the prosecution of
crimes., to assist the City attorney during civil suits, and are also used to assist
in training of both police officers and dispatchers
The existing call logger is 9 years old, far past the traditional replacement for
this type of equipment, and is no longer covered under a maintenance
contract. It is imperative that we replace this with current technology.
FISCAL IMPACT
