AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: F. M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER,4W
DATE: AUGUST 1, 2005
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A FUNDING AND ACQUISITION AGREEMENT WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED CITY OF AZUSA COMMUNITY FACILITIES
DISTRICT NO. 2005-1 (ROSEDALE)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve the attached Funding and Acquisition
Agreement with respect to the proposed City of Azusa Community Facilities District
No. 2005-1 (Rosedale) by resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Azusa has previously entered into a Development Agreement, dated May
27, 2004, (the "Development Agreement") with respect to the developable land within
the Monrovia Nursery. This property is currently owned by Azusa Land Partners, LLC
(the "Developer"). The Developer intends to develop the property as a primarily
residential project with some commercial and retail use. Under the Development
Agreement, the City agreed to assist the Developer with the costs of construction of
the public facilities by forming a community facilities district which would then be able
to issue bonds to pay for the costs of the public facilities. The bonds would be repaid
from special taxes to be levied on the taxable real property within the proposed
Community Facilities District.
At this time the developer intends to commerce construction of some of the public
facilities. The staffs have negotiated a proposed Funding and Acquisition Agreement.
Under this agreement, the Developer will construct public facilities for the City, or
other participating public agencies, which will then be acquired by the City, or other
public agency, from the proceeds of the Bonds. The only sources of funds from which
the Developer can expect to be paid are the Community Facilities District bond

k9ALy
proceeds or any excess special taxes levied on the properties within the proposed
Community Facilities District which are not needed for debt service on the bonds. The
City's general fund or other funds are not liable for the costs of the public facilities.
Presented for your approval is the Funding and Acquisition Agreement which provides
for the requirements of the Developer to construct the public facilities, including a
bidding process, and the provisions for acquisition of the public facilities by the City
from the proceeds of bonds of the proposed Community Facilities District. The
developer is required to work with the public works department so that the plans of
the public facilities are approved by the City and the public facilities are properly
inspected.
Additionally, the Funding and Acquisition Agreement provides that public facilities
which may be owned and maintained by other local agencies may be paid for from the
proceeds of the bonds. At this time it is anticipated that such other local agencies
may be the Azusa Unified School District, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the Los
Angeles County Sanitation District No. 22, and the City of Glendora. In order to have
the respect facilities of each local agency funded from the proceeds of the bonds, the
City and each other agency will need to enter into a joint community facilities
agreement which set the terms of the construction, acceptance and payment for the
public facilities of each respective local agency. The proposed joint community
facilities agreements are each under negotiation and will be presented to the City
Council for approval at subsequent meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated from approving the attached agreement.

DATE: August 1, 2005
RE: Approval of a Funding and Acquisition Agreement with respect to the
proposed City of Azusa Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Rosedale)
The City of Azusa has previously entered into a Development Agreement, dated
May 27, 2004, (the "Development Agreement") with respect to the developable land
within the Monrovia Nursery. This property is currently owned by Azusa Land Partners,
LLC (the "Developer"). The Developer intends to develop the property as a primarily
residential project with some commercial and retail use. Under the Development
Agreement, the City agreed to assist the Developer with the costs of construction of the
public facilities by forming a community facilities district which would then be able to
issue bonds to pay for the costs of the public facilities. The bonds would be repaid from
special taxes to be levied on the taxable real property within the proposed Community
Facilities District.
At this time the Developer intends to commence construction of some of the
public facilities. The staff of the City have negotiated a proposed Funding and
Acquisition Agreement. Under this agreement, the Developer will construct public
facilities for the City, or other participating public agencies, which will then be acquired
by the City, or other public agency, from the proceeds of the Bonds. The only sources of
funds from which the Developer can expect to be paid are the Community Facilities
District bond proceeds or any excess special taxes levied on the properties within the
proposed Community Facilities District which are not needed for debt service on the
bonds. The City's general fund or other funds are not liable for the costs of the public
facilities.
Presented for your approval is the Funding and Acquisition Agreement which
provides for the requirements of the Developer to construct the public facilities, including
a bidding process, and the provisions for acquisition of the public facilities by the City
from the proceeds of bonds of the proposed Community Facilities District. The
developer is required to work with the public works department so that the plans of the
public facilities are approved by the City and the public facilities are properly inspected.
Additionally, the Funding and Acquisition Agreement provides that public
facilities which may be owned and maintained by other local agencies may be paid for
from the proceeds of the bonds. At this time it is anticipated that such other local
agencies may be the Azusa Unified School District, the Metropolitan Transit Authority,
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District No. 22, and the City of Glendora. In order to
have the respective facilities of each local agency funded from the proceeds of the bonds,
the City and each other local agency will need to enter into a joint community facilities
RVPUB\KAB\696748.1
agreement which set the terms of the construction, acceptance and payment for the public
facilities of each respective local agency. The proposed joint community facilities
agreements are each under negotiation and will be presented to the City Council for
approval at a subsequent meeting.
Should you have any questions regarding the Funding and Acquisition
Agreement, someone from our office will be present to answer any questions.

AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual

Section 1. Establishment of District. The City has initiated proceedings pursuant to
the Act for the establishment of the District. Such proceedings include elections within each
Improvement Area pursuant to Sections 53326 and 53353.5 of the Act on (i) the question of the
issuance of the Bonds for each Improvement Area of the District to finance the acquisition of
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 2
public land and public improvements, and the design, planning, engineering, construction
management, and financing and the installation and construction or acquisition of the Public
Facilities, (ii) the question of the annual levy of special taxes within each Improvement Area on
those portions of the Property subject to the special taxes, for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds of such Improvement Area and the annual administrative expenses of the
City and the District in levying and collecting such special taxes, paying the principal and

including the fees of fiscal agents and paying agents, and any necessary replenishment of the
reserve fund for such Bonds, together with paying the annual maintenance expenses financed by
the District (if any), and (iii) the question of the establishment of an appropriations limit for each
Improvement Area.
From time to time prior to the issuance of the Bonds for an Improvement Area, at
the written request of the Developer, and subject to the Developer advancing funds as
determined by the City as necessary to pay all costs related thereto, the City shall use its best
efforts to undertake proceedings which may be deemed necessary to amend the rate and method
of apportionment applicable to such Improvement Area of the District or to amend the
boundaries of such Improvement Area.
Section 2. Sale of' Bonds. The City may proceed, using its reasonable best efforts, as
hereinafter provided, with the sale of the Bonds, in one or more series, for each of the
Improvement Areas of the District in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $120,000,000
and with an escalating debt service amortization schedule for each series of Bonds not to exceed
thirty-five (35) years, for the purpose of raising an amount sufficient to pay for the acquisition of
public land and public improvements, and the design, planning, engineering, construction
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 3
management, and financing, and the installation and construction or acquisition of the Public
Facilities. In connection with the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the City on behalf of itself
and the District shall establish criteria for the issuance of Additional Bonds of the District which
meet the criteria of the financing policies of the City. The timing of the issuance and sale of the
first series of Bonds and any Additional Bonds, the aggregate principal amount thereof, and the
terms and conditions upon which they shall be sold shall be as set forth in this Agreement and
otherwise as determined by the City in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the
Developer. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, the timing of the issuance and sale of the
first series of Bonds and any Additional Bonds shall be as soon as reasonably practicable, as
determined by the City in consultation with its financial advisor, underwriter and other
consultants and counsel.
Section 3. Advance of Certain Expenses. Pursuant a Landowner Deposit Agreement,
dated November 1, 2004 between the City and Developer (the "Deposit Agreement"), Developer
shall pay and advance all of the costs reasonably associated with the establishment of the District
and the sale of the Bonds. Such costs to be paid or advanced by the Developer shall include the
City's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, associated with engineering services provided
by outside engineering consultants in connection with the establishment of the District and the
determination of the sizing of the Bonds and the method of apportioning and levying the special
taxes on the Property to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and reasonable travel
expenses of the City relating to the sale of the Bonds ("Reimbursable Expenses"). All of the
Reimbursable Expenses paid or advanced by the City shall be reimbursed to the Developer from
the uncommitted and unexpended deposits made by the Developer and/or the proceeds of the
sale of the Bonds, as soon after receipt of the proceeds of the Bonds as is reasonably possible.
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 4
The City shall keep records of all Reimbursable Expenses advanced by the City
pursuant to this Section 3 which records shall be available for inspection by Developer during
regular business hours. The sole source of funds for reimbursement of any advance expenditure
made by the City or the Developer shall be the uncommitted and unexpended deposits made by
the Developer and/or proceeds of the Bonds.
Section 4. Tax Requirements. The timing of the sale of the Bonds of any series for
the District or' any Improvement Area therein, the nature of the investments in which the
proceeds of the Bonds shall be invested, the duration of such investments, and the timing of the
expenditure of such proceeds shall be as set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and otherwise
as determined by the City in its reasonable discretion; provided, that in all such matters City
shall comply with the requirements of and limitations prescribed by the provisions of Sections
103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, and
the implementing regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury. The City shall not
be required to take any such action which in the opinion of the City's bond counsel could result
in the Bonds being classified by the United States Department of the Treasury as "arbitrage
bonds" or which could otherwise result in the interest on the Bonds being included in gross
income for purposes of Federal income taxation. Should any change in or regulatory
interpretation of any such requirement or limitation which may occur after the date of this
Agreement require or necessitate, in the reasonable opinion of such bond counsel, any action on
the part of the City in order to avoid such a classification or loss of tax exemption, the City shall
notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, forthwith take such action. In the event the
City fails to comply with requirements set forth above in this Section 4, the City's liability is
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 5
limited to the special tax revenues generated by an Improvement Area of the District, as
applicable.
During the construction phase of the Project, the City and Developer shall meet
on a regular basis, as agreed upon by both parties, to review facilities being constructed and
ascertain the City's compliance with the Code.
If changes in the Code disqualify certain facilities constructed by the Developer
from being funded by the District, the Developer shall be solely liable for the costs of
construction or acquisition of such facilities.
Section 5. Amounts to be Included in Bonds. The City shall be authorized to include
in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds within each Improvement Area an amount
sufficient to fund (i) reserve fund which does not exceed the amount permitted under the Code,
(ii) capitalized interest on the Bonds for such period, not in excess of twenty-four (24) months, as
the City, in consultation with the Developer, may determine is appropriate, (iii) the amount of the
discount of the underwriter who purchases the Bonds, (iv) the Reimbursable Expenses, and
(v) other typical and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the City or the Developer in
connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, including bond counsel fees, disclosure
counsel fees, legal fees, fees of the bank which will act as fiscal agent for the Bonds, special tax
consultant fees, fees and other costs of the appraisal and other fees and costs normally incidental
to the sale of Bonds. Subject to the City's right of review and approval of specific costs as set
forth in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 5, the City shall also include with the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds for those items which are public facilities owned and
operated by a public agency and not inconsistent with Exhibit "G" to the Development
Agreement, the following: (i) all City development and building permit, application, plan
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 6
checking, inspection and other fees and charges, by whatever name called, that are attributable to
the design, planning, engineering, construction management, installation, and construction of the
Public Facilities that are payable out of the proceeds of the Bonds; and (ii) all other Developer
costs and expenses not included in clause (i) that are reasonably determined by the City to
equitably pay or reimburse Developer for costs and expenses incurred by it which are related to
the establishment of the District and the design, planning, engineering, financing, and installation
and construction or acquisition of the Public Facilities, including the construction management
fee described in the definition of Actual Costs and the costs and expenses of consultants (e.g.,
DPFG), attorneys (e.g., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman) and engineers.
The City Manager or his/her designee, shall have the right to approve all of
Developer's costs and expenses to be paid or reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds subject to
the following: (i) to the extent that Developer incurs costs that are eligible for financing by the
District together with other costs that are not eligible for inclusion in the principal amount of the
Bonds, the City will approve a fair allocation of eligible versus non -eligible costs; (ii) the City
Manager or his/her designee shall approve or disapprove Developer's submittals for cost
approvals within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt and, if any submitted costs are
disapproved, he/she shall specify in writing the reasons therefor; and (iii) approval of
Developer's submittals shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Developer shall be
entitled to submit written requests to the City Manager or his/her designee for approval of costs
to be paid or reimbursed with proceeds of the Bond on a periodic basis, as costs are incurred but
not more frequently than monthly. Each such submittal shall be supported by adequate written
documentation to justify the submittal, including as applicable, copies of relevant contracts,
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 7
invoices, evidence of payment, and such other supporting information as the City may
reasonably require consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 6. Construction of Facilities.
(a) Plans. To the extent that it has not already done so, the Developer shall cause
plans to be prepared for the City Facilities (the "Plans"). The Developer shall obtain the written
approval of the Plans in accordance with applicable ordinances and regulations of the City and/or
the City entity that will own and operate the City Facilities. Copies of all Plans shall be provided
by the Developer to the City Manager, or designee thereof, upon request therefore, and, in any
event, as built drawings and a written assignment of the Plans for any City Facility shall be
provided to the City prior to its formal acceptance of the City Facility.
(b) Duty of Developer to Construct. All City Facilities to be acquired hereunder
specified in Exhibit B hereto, as amended from time to time, shall be constructed by or at the
direction of the Developer in accordance with the approved Plans. The Developer shall perform
all of its obligations hereunder and shall conduct all operations with respect to the construction
of City Facilities in a good, workmanlike and commercially reasonable manner, with the
standard of diligence and care normally employed by duly qualified persons utilizing their best
efforts in the performance of ,comparable work and in accordance with generally accepted
practices appropriate to the activities undertaken. The Developer shall employ at all times
adequate staff or consultants with the requisite experience necessary to administer and coordinate
all work related to the design, engineering, acquisition, construction and installation of the City
Facilities to be acquired by the City from the Developer hereunder.
The Developer shall be obligated (i) to construct and convey to the City (or other
applicable governmental agency) all City Facilities and Discrete Components listed in Exhibit B
RVPUB\MUVI\682865.1 8
hereto, and (ii) to use its own funds to pay all costs thereof in excess of the Purchase Prices
thereof to be paid therefor hereunder.
The Developer shall not be relieved of its obligation to construct each City Facility listed
in Exhibit B hereto and Discrete Component and convey each such City Facility to the City (or
other applicable governmental agency) in accordance with the terms hereof, even if, (i) because
of the limitations imposed by Section 7(f) hereof, the Purchase Price for such City Facility is less
than the Actual Cost, or cost to the Developer, of such City Facility, or (ii) there are insufficient
funds in the Improvement Fund to pay the Purchase Price thereof, and, in any event, this
Acquisition Agreement shall not affect any obligation of the Developer under any other
agreement to which the Developer is a party or any governmental approval to which the
Developer or any land within the District is subject, with respect to the City Facilities required in
connection with the development of the land within the District. Such obligation of the
Developer to construct and convey such City Facilities, and pay the costs thereof in excess of
available monies in the Improvement Fund, shall be an obligation of the Developer as a party to
this Acquisition Agreement and not an obligation of the Developer in its capacity as an owner of
any portion of the lands within the District.
(c) Relationship to Public Works. This Agreement is for the acquisition by the City
of the Facilities and payment for the Discrete Components thereof listed in Exhibit B, as
amended from time to time, from moneys in the Improvement Fund and is not intended to be a
public works contract. The City and the Developer agree that the City Facilities are of local, and
not state-wide concern, and that the provisions of the California Pubic Contract Code shall not
apply to the construction of the City Facilities. The City and the Developer agree that the
Developer shall award all contracts for the construction of the City Facilities listed in Exhibit B
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 9
hereto, and that this Agreement is necessary to assure the timely and satisfactory completion of
the City Facilities and that compliance with the Public Contract Code with respect to the City
Facilities would work an incongruity and would not produce an advantage to the City or the
District.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer shall award all contracts for construction
of the City. Facilities listed in Exhibit B hereto, as amended from time to time, to the lowest
responsible bidder as determined by the Developer. The Developer shall solicit at least three
bids for the construction of each City Facility, and the Developer or his designee shall open the
bids actually received and read them aloud immediately following the submittal deadline. The
bids for general contractors shall require that general contractors provide reasonable opportunity
for local contractors to participate as subcontractors. Upon written request of the City Manager
or his designee, the Developer shall provide an analysis of bids for construction of the City
Facilities, constructed or to be constructed by or under the supervision of the Developer.
The costs of materials shall be part of the contractors' bids for constructing the City
Facilities. Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) require the Developer to publicly or informally
bid for materials, or (ii) prevent the supply or sale of materials by the Developer to the
contractors constructing the City Facilities. If requested in writing by the City, the Developer
shall demonstrate to the City that such materials were obtained at reasonable prices considering
the terms of delivery and other factors and shall not charge the City a premium for supplying
such materials (but shall be entitled to recover the costs of procuring such materials).
The Developer shall develop or cause to be developed and shall maintain or cause to be
maintained a cost -loaded project schedule, using the critical path method, providing for all major
project elements included in the construction of any City Facility to be acquired hereunder, so
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 10
that the whole project is scheduled in the most efficient manner. The Developer shall provide
the City Manager with complete copies of the schedule and each update to the schedule for the
City Manager or his designee to review.
From time to time (expected to be at least weekly) at the request of the City Manager or
his designee, the Developer shall meet and confer with City staff, consultants and contractors
regarding matters arising hereunder with respect to the City Facilities and the progress in
constructing and acquiring the same, and as to any other matter related to the City Facilities or
this Agreement. The Developer shall advise the City Manager or his designee in advance of any
coordination and scheduling meetings to be held with contractors relating to the City Facilities,
in the ordinary course of performance of an individual contract. The City Manager or his
designee shall have the right to be present at such meetings, and to meet and confer with
individual contractors if deemed advisable by the City Manager or his designee to resolve
disputes and/or ensure the proper completion of the City Facilities.
(d) independent Contractor. In performing this Agreement, the Developer is an
independent contractor and not the agent or employee of the City or the District. Neither the
City nor the District shall be responsible for making any payments to any contractor,
subcontractor, agent, consultant, employee or supplier of the Developer.
(e) Performance and Payment Bonds. The Developer agrees to comply with all
applicable performance and payment bonding requirements of the City (and other applicable City
entities and/or City utilities) with respect to the construction of the City Facilities. Performance
and payment bonds shall not be required of the Developer to the extent moneys are available in
the Improvement Fund to pay the Purchase Price, as defined in Section 7(c) below, of a City
Facility provided that all contractors and/or subcontractors employed by the Developer in
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 11
connection with the construction of City Facilities shall provide a labor and materials and
performance bonds which name the City as an additional insured.
(f) Contracts and Change Orders. The Developer shall be responsible for entering
into all contracts and any supplemental agreements (commonly referred to as "change orders")
required for the construction of the City Facilities listed in Exhibit B hereto, as amended from
time to time, and all such contracts and supplemental agreements shall be submitted to the City
Manager or his designee. Prior approval of supplemental agreements by the City Manager shall
only be required for such change orders which in any way materially alter the quality or
character of the subject City Facilities, or which involve an amount equal to the greater of ten
percent (10%) of the amount of the bid for the City Facility. The City expects that such contracts
and supplemental agreements needing prior approval by the City Manager will be reasonably
approved or denied (any such denial to be in writing, stating the reasons for denial and the
actions, if any, that can be taken to obtain later approval) within ten (10) business days of receipt
by the City Manager thereof. To the extent that a supplemental agreement, approved by the City
Manager, or his designee, increases the Actual Cost of a City Facility, such increased cost may
be payable as part of the Purchase Price of the related City Facility as provided in Section 7
hereof.
(g) Time for Completion. The Developer agrees that this Agreement is for the benefit
of the City and the Developer and, therefore, the Developer represents that it expects to complete
the City Facilities and to have requested payment for the City Facilities under this Agreement
within thirty-six (36) calendar months from the date of the closing of the series of Bonds the
proceeds of which are to be used to finance the City Facilities. Any failure to complete the City
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 12
Facilities within said time period shall not, however, in itself, constitute a breach by the
Developer of the terms of this Acquisition Agreement.
The Developer agrees to use its good faith efforts to complete all City Facilities within
thirty-six (36) calendar months from the date of closing of the series of the Bonds the proceeds
of which are to be used to finance the City Facilities.
Section 7. Acquisition and Payment of Facilities.
(a) Inspection. No payment hereunder shall be made by the City to the Developer for
a Public Facility or Discrete Component until the City Facility or Discrete Component has been
inspected and found to be completed in accordance with the approved Plans by the City. Unless
otherwise provided in a Supplement, the City shall make or cause to be made regular on-going
site inspections of the City Facilities to be acquired hereunder. The Developer agrees to pay all
inspection, permit and other similar fees of the City applicable to construction of the City
Facilities.
(b) Agreement to Sell and Purchase City Facilities. The Developer hereby agrees to
sell the City Facilities listed in Exhibit B hereto, which may be amended from time to time by
approval of the City Manager or his designee, to the City (or other applicable City agency that
will own a City Facility), and the City hereby agrees to use amounts in the Improvement Fund to
pay the Purchase Prices, as defined below, thereof to the Developer, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof. The City shall not be obligated to finance the purchase of any City Facility
until the City Facility is completed and the acceptance date for such City Facility has occurred;
provided that the City has agreed to make payments to the Developer for certain Discrete
Components shown on Exhibit B hereto, as such exhibit may be supplemented. The Developer
acknowledges that the Discrete Components have been identified for payment purposes only,
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 13
and that the City (or other applicable public agency that will own a City Facility) shall not accept
a City Facility of which a Discrete Component is a part until the entire City Facility has been
completed. The City acknowledges that the Discrete Components do not have to be accepted by
the City (or other applicable public agency that will own a City Facility) as a condition precedent
to the payment of the Purchase Price therefor, but any such payment shall not be made until a
Discrete Component has been completed in accordance with the plans therefor. The City shall
not be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for any City Facility except from the moneys in the
Improvement Fund.
(c) Purchase Price. Purchase Price for each City Facility shall be equal to the Actual
Cost of such City Facility, but subject to the limitations of this Section 7. Actual Cost means the
substantiated cost of a City Facility, as defined in Exhibit E.
(d) Payment Requests. In order to receive the Purchase Price for a completed City
Facility or Discrete Component, inspection thereof under Section 7(a) shall have been made and
the Developer shall deliver to the City Manager or his designee: (i) a Payment Request in the
form of Exhibit D hereto for such City Facility or Discrete Component, together with all
attachments and exhibits required by this Section 7(d) to be included therewith, and (ii) if
payment is requested for a completed City Facility, (a) if the property on which the City Facility
is located is not owned by the City (or other applicable public agency that will own such City
Facility) at the time of the request, a copy of the recorded documents conveying to the City (or
other applicable public agency that will own such City Facility) Acceptable Title to the real
property on, in or over which such City Facility is located, as described in Section 8(a) hereof,
(b) a copy of the recorded notice of completion of such City Facility filed, (e) to the extent paid

RVPUB\MUM\682865. l 14
be payable with respect to the City Facility, such as City or private utility reimbursements, and
(d) an assignment of the warranties and guaranties for such City Facility, as described in Section
8(e) hereof, in a form acceptable to the City.
(e) Processing Payment Requests. Upon receipt of a Payment Request (and all
accompanying documents), the City Manager or his designee shall conduct a review in order to
confirm that such request is complete, that such City Facility or Discrete Component identified
therein was constructed in accordance with the Plans therefore, and to verify and approve the
Actual Cost of such City Facility or Discrete Component specified in such Payment Request.
The City Manager or his designee shall also conduct such review as is required in his/her
discretion to confirm the matters certified in the Payment Request. The Developer agrees to
cooperate with the City Manager or his designee in conducting each such review and to provide
the City Manager or his designee with such additional information and documentation as is
reasonably necessary for the City Manager or his designee to conclude each such review. Within
ten (10) business days of receipt of any Payment Request, the City Manager or his designee
expects to review the request for completeness and notify the Developer whether such Payment
Request is complete, and, if not, what additional documentation must be provided. If such
Payment Request is complete, the City Manager or his designee expects to provide a written
approval or denial (specifying the reason for any denial) of the request within 30 days of its
submittal. If a Payment Request seeking reimbursement for more than one City Facility or
Discrete Component is denied, the City Manager or his designee shall state whether the Payment
Request is nevertheless approved and complete for any one or more City Facilities or Discrete
Component and any such City Facilities or Discrete Component shall be processed for payment
under Section 7(f) notwithstanding such partial denial.
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 15
(0 Payment. Upon approval of the Payment Request by the City Manager or his
designee, the City Manager or his designee shall sign the Payment Request and forward the same
to the Finance Director of the City. Upon receipt of the reviewed and fully signed Payment
Request, the Finance Director of the City shall, within the then current City financial accounting
payment cycle but in any event within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the approved
Payment Request, cause the same to be paid by the Fiscal Agent under the applicable provisions
of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, to the extent of funds then on deposit in the Improvement Fund.
Any approved Payment Request not paid due to an insufficiency of funds in the Improvement
Fund shall be paid promptly from the Surplus Taxes Fund or from the Improvement Fund
promptly following the deposit into the Improvement Fund of proceeds of any investment
earnings, Additional Bonds, escrowed funds or other amounts transferred to the Improvement
Fund under the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
The Purchase Price paid hereunder for any City Facility or Discrete Component shall
constitute payment in full for such City Facility or Discrete Component, including, without
limitation, payment for all labor, materials, equipment, tools and services used or incorporated in
the work, supervision, administration, overhead, expenses and any and all other things required,
furnished or incurred for completion of such City Facility or Discrete Component as specified in
the Plans.
(g) Timing of Requisitions. The City and the Developer acknowledge that (i) to the
extent the Developer has constructed and City or other Public Agency has accepted (for payment
purposes) certain Public Facilities (including City Facilities) the Developer may submit Payment
Requests and JCFA Facilities Payment Request for such Public Facilities for reimbursement for
the proceeds from the initial series issuance of the Bonds; (ii) the Developer will be constructing
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 16
Public Facilities prior to the issuance of Additional Bonds the proceeds of which will be used to
reimburse the Developer for those Public Facilities not funded from the initial series of the
Bonds; (iii) the Developer may be submitting Payment Requests and JCFA Facilities Payment
Requests to the City in advance of such an issuance of the Additional Bonds, with knowledge
that there may be insufficient funds available in the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Taxes
Fund for reimbursement; (iv) the Public Facilities that are the subject of the Payment Requests
and the JCFA Facilities Payment Requests submitted when there are insufficient proceeds will be
inspected and reviewed by the City as set forth in this Agreement and that such Payment
Requests and the JCFA Facilities Payment Requests will be reviewed by the City and, if
appropriate, approved for payment from the proceeds of the Bonds or the Surplus Taxes Fund;
and (v) the payment for any Payment Requests and the JCFA Facilities Payment Requests
approved in the preceding manner will be deferred until the date, if any, on which there are
amounts in the Improvement Fund or the Surplus Taxes Fund to make all or part of such
payment, at which time the City will direct the Fiscal Agent to wire transfer (or pay in another
mutually acceptable manner) to the payee identified in such Payment Request or JCFA Facilities
Payment Request. The Payment Requests and the JCFA Facilities Payment Requests may be (i)
paid in increments as funds become available in the Improvement Fund or the Surplus Taxes
Fund, and (ii) paid out of the proceeds of any series of Bonds or special taxes collected in any
Improvement Area.
The Developer may pay for the Public Facilities prior to the issuance of Bonds or when
there are insufficient funds in the Improvement Fund to reimburse the Developer for such
payment. Any Public Facilities paid by the Developer shall be made with the understanding that
such Public Facilities shall be reimbursed from the proceeds of the Bonds if, and when, Bonds
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 17
are issued or there are otherwise sufficient funds in the applicable Improvement Fund or amounts
in the Surplus Taxes Fund. The payment by the Developer of the costs of Public Facilities prior
to the issuance of Bonds or when there are insufficient funds in the Improvement Fund or
amounts in the Surplus Taxes Fund to reimburse the Developer for such payment, shall not be
construed as a dedication or gift of the Public Facilities, or a waiver of reimbursement of such
Public Facilities.
(h) Restrictions on Payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, the following restrictions shall apply to any payments made to the Developer under
Sections 7(b) and 7(f) hereof:
A. Amounts of Payments. Subject to the following paragraphs of this Section
7(h), payments for each City Facility or Discrete Component will be made only in the
amount of the Purchase Price for the respective City Facility or Discrete Component.
Nothing herein shall require the City in any event (i) to pay more than the Actual
Cost of a City Facility or Discrete Component, or (ii) to make any payment beyond the
available funds in the Improvement Fund or the Surplus Taxes Fund. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that all payments to the Developer for the Purchase Prices of City
Facilities or Discrete Component are intended to be reimbursements to the Developer for
monies already expended or for immediate payment by the Developer (or directly by the
City) to third parties in respect of such City Facilities or Discrete Component.
.B. Joint or Third Party Payments. The City may make any payment jointly to
the Developer and any mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary, contractor or supplier of
materials, as their interests may appear, or solely to any such third party, if the Developer
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 18
so requests the same in writing or as the City otherwise determines such joint or third
party payment is necessary to obtain lien releases.
C. Wit}illolllisig Paynigits. The City shall be entitled, but shall not be
required, to withhold any payment hereunder for a City Facility or Discrete Component if
the Developer or any Affiliate is delinquent in the payment of ad valorem real property
taxes, special assessments or taxes, or Special Taxes levied in the District. In the event of
any such delinquency, the City shall only make payments hereunder directly to
contractors or other third parties employed in connection with the construction of the City
Facilities or Final Discrete Component or to any assignee of the Developer's interests in
this Agreement (and not to the Developer or any Affiliate), until such time as the
Developer provides the City Manager with evidence that all such delinquent taxes and
assessments have been paid.
The City shall withhold final payment for any City Facility or Final Discrete
Component constructed on land, until Acceptable Title to such land is conveyed to the
City or other Public entity that will own the respective City Facility or other Public
Facility, as described in Section 8 hereof.
The City shall be entitled to withhold payment for any City Facility or Discrete
Component hereunder to be owned by the City until: (i) the City Manager or his designee
determines that the City Facility is ready for its intended use, (ii) the Acceptance Date for
the City Facility has occurred and to the requirements of Section 8, if applicable to such
City Facility or Discrete Component, have been satisfied, (iii) a Notice of Completion
executed by the Developer, in a form acceptable to the City Manager or his designee, has
been recorded for the City Facility and general lien releases conditioned solely upon
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 19
payment from the proceeds of the Bonds to be used to acquire such City Facility have
been submitted to the City Manager for the City Facility. The City hereby agrees that the
Developer shall have the right to post or cause the appropriate contractor or subcontractor
to post a bond with the City to indemnify it for any losses sustained by the City because
of any liens that may exist at the time of acceptance of such a City Facility, so long as
such bond is drawn on an obligor and is otherwise in a form acceptable to the City
Manager or his designee. The City shall be entitled to withhold payment of a Public
Facility (or the Final Discrete Component or such Public Facility) to be owned by other
governmental entities, until the Developer provides the City Manager with evidence that
the governmental entity has accepted dedication and/or title to the Public Facility,
provided, however that any payment (including progress payments) to the Developer for
a Public Facility shall � be governed by the JCFA between the Developer and the
governmental entity. If the City Manager or his designee determines that a City Facility
is not ready for intended use under (i) above, the City Manager or his designee shall so
notify the Developer as soon as reasonably practicable in writing specifying the reason(s)
therefor.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Developer from
contesting in good faith the validity or amount of any mechanics or materialmans lien nor
limit the remedies available to the Developer with respect thereto so long as such delay in
performance shall not subject the City Facilities or Discrete Component to foreclosure,
forfeiture or sale. In the event that any such lien is contested, the Developer shall only be
required to post or cause the delivery of a bond in an amount equal to the amount in
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 20
dispute with respect to any such contested lien, so long as such bond is drawn on an
obligor and is otherwise in a form acceptable to the City Manager or his designee.
Nothing in this Section 7(h) shall prevent the payment for Discrete Components
as described in Section 7(b).
D. Retention. The City shall withhold in the Improvement Fund an amount
equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price of each City Facility or Discrete
Component to be paid hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as one-
half of the respective work has been completed and progress on the City Facility or
Discrete Component is satisfactory to the City Manager or his designee, no further
retention will be made (so that it is expected that, upon completion of any City Facility, a
total of ten percent (10%) will have been retained). Any such retention will be released
to the Developer upon final completion and acceptance of the related City Facility (or
Final Discrete Component thereof).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer shall be entitled to payment of any
such retention upon the completion and acceptance of a City Facility, if a maintenance or
warranty bond is posted in accordance with Section 8 hereof. Payment of any retention
shall also be contingent upon the availability of monies in the Improvement Fund
therefore. No retention shall apply if the Developer proves to the City Manager or his
designee's satisfaction that the Developer's contracts for the City Facilities or Discrete
Component provide for the same retention as herein provided, so that the Purchase Price
paid for the City Facility or Discrete Component is at all times net of the required
retention.
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 21
E. 17i-ecluczlcy. Unless otherwise agreed to by the City Manager, no more
than one Payment Request shall be submitted by the Developer in any calendar month.
(i) Defective or Nonconforming; Work. If any of the work done or materials
furnished for a City Facility are found by the City Manager or his designee to be defective or not
in accordance with the applicable Plans: (i) and such finding is made prior to payment for the
Purchase Price of such City Facility hereunder, the City may withhold payment therefore until
such defect or nonconformance is corrected to the satisfaction of the City Manager or his
designee, or (ii) and such finding is made after payment of the Purchase Price of such City
Facility, the City and the Developer shall act in accordance with the City's standard specification
for City works construction, which are available in the City's Public Works Department.
0) Modification of Discrete Coiliponcizts. The following provisions shall be
applicable to each Improvement Area separately. Nothing in this section 0) shall prevent the
qualified electors within an Improvement Area from modifying the Facilities and Discrete
Components (or other aspects of the Improvement Area) pursuant to the resolution of
consideration provisions of Article 3 of the Act.
A. Prior to the Issuance of the First Scries of Bonds for an Improvement
Area. The City and the Developer acknowledge that (i) the Developer will be
constructing City Facilities in advance of the issuance of the first series of Bonds for an
Improvement Area, and (ii) this Agreement will be approved and executed in advance of
the issuance of the first series of Bonds for an Improvement Area so that the Developer
understands how it is to construct the City Facilities to make them eligible for
reimbursement from the proceeds of the Bonds. Because this Agreement will be
executed prior to the date that the first series of Bonds for an Improvement Area are
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 22
issued, the amount of proceeds of the first series of Bonds cannot be known at this time
with any certainty. Consequently, at this time, the description of the City Facilities listed
in Exhibit B are preliminary in nature. The City and the Developer agree that Exhibit B
may be modified at any time upon the written consent of each party. The City Manager
or his designee is hereby delegated the authority to approve any revisions to Exhibit B
attached hereto without requiring City Council action. Once such written approval is
executed by the City and the Developer, the revised Exhibit B shall be deemed part of
this Agreement and shall operate for all purposes thereafter.
B. Subseauent to the Issuance of the First Series of Bonds for an
Improvement Area. Following the issuance of the first series of Bonds for an
Improvement Area, the description of the Discrete Components set forth in Exhibit B for
an Improvement Area for which Bonds have been issued shall be modified only as set
forth in this subparagraph (B). Upon written request of the Developer, the City Manager
shall consider modification of the description of any Discrete Component listed 'in
Exhibit B without further action by the City Council. Any such modification shall be
subject to the written approval of the City Manager, and shall not diminish the overall
City Facilities to be provided by the Developer hereunder (in a material way such that the
change invalidates any of the assumptions used in the appraisal conducted to sell the
Bonds). It is expected that any such modification will be solely for purposes of dividing
up the work included in any Discrete Component for purposes of acceptance and
payment, for example: (i) separation of irrigation and landscaping from other components
of a Discrete Component, (ii) modifications to allow for payment for roadway
improvements prior to completion of the top course of paving, or (iii) division of utility
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 23
construction by utility work order. In most instances, the City Manager will only approve
modifications for payment purposes when there will be an unusual period of time
between the completion and acceptance of such divided work or, to better implement the
phasing of the overall construction of the City Facilities; but no such circumstances shall
this subparagraph in any way obligate the City Manager to approve such modification. In
addition to the foregoing, the description of the City Facilities and Discrete Components
may be modified by adding additional City Facilities in connection with the issuance of
any Additional Bonds.
Section 8. Ownership and Transfer of Facilities.
(a) Facilities to be Owned by the City — Conveyance of Land and Easements to City.
Acceptable Title to all property on, in or over which each City Facility to be acquired by the City
will be located, shall be deeded over to the City by way of grant deed, quitclaim, or dedication of
such property, or easement thereon, if such conveyance of interest is approved by the City as
being a sufficient interest therein to permit the City to properly own, operate and maintain such
City Facility located therein, thereon or thereover, and to permit the Developer to perform its
obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Developer agrees to assist the City in obtaining
such documents as are required to obtain Acceptable Title. Completion of the transfer of title to
land shall be accomplished prior to the payment of the Purchase Price for a City Facility (or the
Final Discrete Component thereof) and shall be evidenced by recordation of the acceptance
thereof by the City Council or the designer thereof.
(b) Facilities to be Owned by the City — Title Evidence. Upon the request of the City,
the Developer shall furnish to the City a preliminary title report for land with respect to City
Facilities to be acquired by the City and not previously dedicated or otherwise conveyed to the
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 24
City, for review and approval at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the transfer of
Acceptable Title of a City Facility to the City. The City shall approve the preliminary title report
unless it reveals a matter which, in the judgment of the City, could materially affect the City's
use and enjoyment of any part of the property or easement covered by the preliminary title
report. In the event the City does not approve the preliminary title report, the City shall not be
obligated to accept title to such City Facility or pay the Purchase Price for such City Facility (or
the Final Discrete Component thereof) until the Developer has cured such objections to title to
the satisfaction of the City.
(c) Facilities Constructed on Private Lands. If any City Facilities to be acquired are
located on privately -owned land, the owner thereof shall retain title to the land and the completed
City Facilities until acquisition of the City Facilities under Section 7 hereof. Pending the
completion of such transfer, the Developer shall not be entitled to receive any payment for any
such City Facility or the Final Discrete Component thereof. The Developer shall, however, be
entitled to receive payment for the Discrete Components (other than the last Discrete
Component) upon making an irrevocable offer of dedication of such land in form and substance
acceptable to the City Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request of the City
before payment for any Final Discrete Component of such City Facility, the Developer shall
convey or cause to be conveyed Acceptable Title thereto in the manner described in Section 8(a)
and 8(b) hereof.
(d) Facilities Constructed on City Land. If the City Facilities to be acquired are on
land owned by the City, the City hereby grants to the Developer a license to enter upon such land
for purposes related to the construction (and maintenance pending acquisition) of the City
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 25
Facilities. The provisions for inspection and acceptance of such City Facilities otherwise
provided herein shall apply.
(e) Public Facilities to be Acquired by Other Public Agencies. The City has, or will,
execute Joint Community Facilities Agreements with the School District, MTA, the Sanitation
District, Glendora and other local public agencies (collectively the "JCFAs," each individually a
"JCFA"). The JCFAs allow the financing of City Facilities. Accordingly, the proceeds of the
Bonds in any Improvement Area may be used to pay such Public Facilities at any time, either
directly to the applicable agency upon the direction of the Developer, or in reimbursement as
discussed herein. Any Public Facilities paid by the Developer may be eligible for reimbursement
from the proceeds of the Bonds. The Developer may request from the proceeds of Bonds for
reimbursement or direct payment of Public Facilities that are the subject of the JCFAs by
executing and submitting a payment request in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the "JCFA
Facilities Payment Request"). In the case of a reimbursement for a Public Facility, the
Developer shall submit proof of the payment of such Public Facilities, which may be a written
confirmation from another agency that such Public Facility has been constructed in accordance
with the local agency's policies and inspected by the local agency, and paid for by the Developer
("Proof of Completion and Payment"). Upon receipt of such JCFA Facilities Payment Request
and Proof of Completion and Payment, the City shall review the request and if determined to be
an item eligible to be paid from Bond Proceeds direct the Fiscal Agent to wire transfer (or pay in
another mutually acceptable manner) to the payee identified in such JCFA Facilities Payment
Request such requested funds to the extent of funds on deposit in the Improvement Fund
designated by the Developer or the Surplus Taxes Fund. The provisions of Section 7(g) apply to
the Public Facilities to be acquired by other local agencies pursuant to the JCFAs.
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 26
(f) Maintenance and Warranties. The Developer shall maintain each City Facility
and Discrete Components thereof in good and safe condition until the Acceptance Date or until
such other time as specified in the applicable JCFA. Prior to the Acceptance Date, the Developer
shall be responsible for performing any required maintenance on any completed City Facility and
Discrete Components thereof. On or before the Acceptance Date of the City Facility, the
Developer shall assign to the City, or other public agency, as applicable, 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 City Facility. The Developer shall provide a
warranty bond reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the City Manager for one-year
after the Acceptance Date, to insure that defects, which appear within said period will be
repaired, replaced, or corrected by the Developer, at its own cost and expense, to the satisfaction
of the City Manager. The Developer shall maintain or cause to be maintained each Public
Facility and Discrete Components thereof to be owned by another public agency (including the
repair and replacement thereof) for the period of time and in the form specified in the applicable
JCFA. The Developer shall commence to repair, replace or correct any such defects within thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof by the City to the Developer, and shall complete such
repairs, replacement or correction as soon as practicable. After such one-year period, the
warranty bond shall be released. From and after the Acceptance Date, the City shall be
responsible for maintaining all City Facilities. Any warranties, guarantees or other evidences of
contingent obligations of third persons with respect to the City Facilities to be acquired by the
City shall be delivered to the City Manager as part of the transfer of title.
(g) Discrete Compone�its. Nothing in this Section 8 shall prevent payment for
Discrete Components as described in Section 7(b).
RVPUB\MUM\682865.1 27
Section 9. Surplus Special Taxes. Pursuant to the Development Agreement dated
May 27, 2004, by and between the City and the Developer (the "Development Agreement"), the
City shall levy special taxes against developed property within each Improvement Area at 100%
of the assigned special tax rate. In addition, the City shall establish in each Fiscal Agent
Agreement governing the Bonds an interest-earning "Surplus Taxes Fund" and, in each Fiscal
Year, all special tax revenues not needed to pay debt service on the applicable series of Bonds,
replenish the reserve fund and pay administrative costs shall be deposited in the appropriate
Surplus Taxes Fund. Amounts in each Surplus Taxes Fund shall be used to pay the costs of the
construction and acquisition the Public Facilities to the extent that the proceeds of the Bonds are,
for any reason, insufficient at the time that a request for payment is made.
Section 10. Sugplus Hand Proceeds. In the event that any surplus proceeds of the
Bonds remain in the Improvement Fund after all of the Public Facilities have been completed,
and acquired pursuant to this Agreement, which shall be evidenced by a written notice from the
Developer that no additional requisitions for payment will be submitted, said surplus shall be
applied to debt service on the Bonds in the manner provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Interest earnings on funds deposited in the Improvement Fund shall be retained therein and used
for the purposes thereof.
Section 11. indemnification; Insurance. Developer shall indemnify and hold harmless
the City and the District from any and all claims, actions, liability, damages and costs arising out
of Developer's performance of its duties and responsibilities as construction manager. To secure

coverage for such purpose is commercially available, their agents, are additional insureds under
the comprehensive general liability policy, and shall provide that the .policy may only be
canceled upon 30 days' advance written notice to the City.
Developer shall also maintain throughout the period of its construction

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL NAKASONE, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
VIA: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER *Ain
DATE: AUGUST 1 , 2005
SUBJECT: SENATE BILL 926, SEWAGE SLUDGE MANAGEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council oppose Senate Bill 926 and notify the City's
state representatives of such.
BACKGROUND
State Senate Bill 926 is a controversial bill that involves two significant issues. The
first issue is the reduced capacity of the Landfills in the Los Angeles County. The
second issue is the transport and use of Bio-solids or "Sludge" from the City of Los
Angeles and County Sanitation District Treatment Plants for use as fertilizer in the
agriculture industry. Currently, the County of Los Angeles is mandated by State Law
to reduce by 50% the solid waste taken to Landfills. Almost all "treated" solid waste
from L.A. County Waste Water Treatment Plants is transported to other counties for
beneficial use. The current arrangement allows for a dramatically reduced amount of
sludge being dumped into our landfills while simultaneously providing a nutrient
resource to our agricultural communities. Senate Bill 926 would dramatically change
this current mutually benefiting arrangement. Senate Bill 926 would grant authority
to one County, Kern County, to prohibit the import of Bio-solids for use in agriculture.
Support for the measure arises from groups concerned that treated sludge for
fertilizer "may" contain levels of metals such as cadmium as well as other toxins. The
federal Environmental Protection Agency has approved treated sludge for use as
"compost". In fact, sludge has been successfully used in agriculture as an effective
fertilizing agent for at least 30 years.
The Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Committee is an oversight
organization comprised of representatives from the Board of Supervisors, local Cities,
the County Sanitation Districts and League of California Cities. The Task Force of this
Committee is vehemently opposed to this measure. Although the Bill has been
recently amended by Senator Dean Florez to remove the provision that would have
given any county the right to ban import of sludge from any other County, the Kern
County exemption still has repercussions to Los Angeles County. The impact would
be felt the most seriously by Los Angeles County.
FISCAL IMPACT
Increased charges to residents for trash pickup and Waste Water Fees charged by the
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County and the City of Azusa.
•
• Pedestrian Breezeway: Remaining Section 108 Loan proceeds of $384,180 have been
transferred from the Block 36 project, replacing redevelopment funds, in order to expedite
expenditure of these federal funds, and increase the proposed project budget by $238,740.
• La Tolteca: An additional $1,500 is proposed to pay for legal fees associated with the previously
approved facade grant.
• 100 W. Foothill Mixed Use: $13,000 is proposed to pay for miscellaneous legal and program
expenses.
• Azusa Commons (Foothill Shopping Center): The budget for this project has been adjusted to
reflect more accurate estimates of financial assistance necessary for the development, and to
change the funding source from capital project funds to redevelopment bond funds. A $60,000
reimbursement from the developer is anticipated.
• 726, 728 Dalton and 303 E. Foothill Blvd. Acquisition: The proposed budget has been increased
by $928,000 to include possible acquisition of 303 E. Foothill Blvd.
• Block 36 Development: A $62,000 increase is proposed to fund outside project management
services and legal fees.
• 10"' Street Property Development: In this new project, the Agency would acquire the subject
property from Light &Water and a enter into a development agreement to achieve a quality
project. The proposed budget for acquisition and program expenses is $840,500, with a same
year sale for $1,150,000 estimated.
• Kincaid Pit: This new project would allow for the co-development of Kincaid Pit with the City of
Irwindale. The proposed budget of $78,000 would fund legal fees and professional services; it is
anticipated that the expenses would be reimbursed by the selected developer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The appropriations recommended in the Redevelopment Agency's fiscal year 2006 Capital
Improvement Program Budget total $4,634,740 from various funding sources - $438,770 from the
Merged Project capital project funds, and $4,195,970 from the 2005 Tax Allocation Bond funds.
Attached is a Summary of Changes to Fund Balances (Exhibit C) which includes the approved
operating and proposed CIP budgets. This worksheet is cash-based, and indicates an unreserved
ending balance at June 30, 2006, of $1,182,720 in the capital project funds, assuming that the short-
term loan borrowed from Light and Water to purchase 100 W. Foothill Blvd. will be repaid with
excess debt service funds. Should the 10`h Street project and sale of 237 S. Azusa not occur, year
end unreserved available balances in the capital project funds would be reduced from $1.18M to
$610,720. These unreserved funds are available for project overruns and new projects. There's an
additional balance of $2.345M in Redevelopment Bond project funds, which are somewhat
restricted, and there is also a $1.0M emergency reserve in the capital project funds. The emergency
reserve is set aside for cash flow continuity, State-mandated payments (ERAF increases), unrealized
revenues, etc.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
AGENDA ITEM
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND AGENCY MEMBERS
FROM: SHARON W. HIGHTOWER, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RE OR
VIA: F. M. DELACH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/PC •
DATE: AUGUST 1, 2005
SUBJECT: CITY OF AZUSA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
BUDGET FOR FY 2005/06 THROUGH 2010/11
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Agency Members adopt the Resolution approving the Redevelopment
Agency's 2006-2010 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget and appropriations for fiscal year
2005-06. This will increase appropriations for projects in the amount of $4,634,740 for fiscal year
2005-06 as identified in Exhibit B.
BACKGROUND
Effective with the 2004-05 CIP budget, the Redevelopment Agency projects are now included in the
CIP. Because Agency projects are long-term and ongoing, it is necessary to expedite approval of the
CIP in order to maintain project continuity. The Agency's CIP budget identifies funding for major
capital improvement projects throughout the Redevelopment Merged Project Areas. Annually, staff
reviews the current projects and determines if any projects should be deleted due to completion;
modified due to a change in scope; or amended to include additional funding. Staff also identifies
new projects that need to be added to the list of capital projects. This year modifications have been
made to nine previously adopted projects and two new projects, Kincaid Pit and 10"' Street Property
Acquisition, have been added. Individual project summary sheets are attached as Exhibit A, and a
summary spreadsheet of recommended FY 2006 appropriations are attached as Exhibit B.
Highlights of the Agency's proposed CIP budget are as follows:
• 613/615 N. Azusa/Dr. Reyes: A not-to-exceed $300,000 loan approved by the Board at the end
of FY 2004/05, and $13,000 for additional legal and professional services have been budgeted.
• Talley Building Improvements: An additional $150,000 for possible restaurant tenant
improvements has been proposed.
