First I want to comment on Agenda Item #18 brought forward by Patrick Brenden. This item is asking our council to
effective close escrow and Pay for the Toxic site and Lease the Toxic property next door for eight months for
$120,000 long before we can place a shovel in the ground and a waste $120,000. We entered a agreement once
again without the required Due Diligence on who's advice ? the new staff that recently joined our city our City
Manager Oliver Chi and Community Development Director Ursula Luna, why was our City Attorney Micheal Gates
left out ? As you should know when entering escrow this is the time to place requirements as soils testing, termite
testing, land use requirements capabilities and to make sure there are no no property encumbrances as contractor
liens and a clear clean title to the property. These are to be included in the escrow instructions to be completed
Before escrow can close, NOT AFTER THE FACT. Due Diligence is to be performed before escrow is entered and
Again we have another Pipeline Shelter Fiasco. And this location was purchased under the False guise of Woman,
Children and Seniors living on our streets, while there may be a few these are not the people camping in our parks
doing drugs and leaving their needles all over. The Street People who are the major source of complaints to our
police department are stealing from our cars for the loose change and anything of value and stealing our bicycles
and setting up chop shops and selling parts and bikes swapped with parts to make them unrecognizable. The
question are you going to vote to approve such a Crazy Effort when we will be forced to delay any efforts to open a
shelter because of the conditions, OK your choice but you have been warned. This as the homeless issues explode in
our our community. What will be the True costs of the purchase of this property the clean up costs the delays
Michael Poseys SB2 funds that took away our building and development standards ? Lets get off this Crazy Train
and wake up.
Now Agenda Item #21. brought forward by Erik Peterson. This is a Get It Done and Address the Real Issuers and
Problems. Place a temporary mobile shelter facility on city owned property. Take action Now that will have a effect
on the homeless population by un-tying our police hands. Where ever we place these people we will have opposition
this is temporary until we can get help for all ages of homeless and get past the False Misrepresentation of the
numbers of Woman,Children and Seniors living on out streets. I hope you heed the advise of those looking into
these issuers without input from those who gain financially by their Homeless efforts. We have been Duped long
enough look for your selves identify the problems and issues talk to our Chief of Police Ignore the carpetbaggers
and special interests who gain profits off these people and rely on volunteer efforts and money to support their gains.
We have seen how volunteers are asked to support causes and spend their time and efforts for a cause from their
Hearts, Just take the example of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Preservation Efforts this as Patrick Brenden collects over
$100,000 as a CEO ??? what happened to working for a cause from your Hearts and not financial Gain and Political
support. Shame on You Patrick Brenden I get it i see the Advisory Board and the Directors all the names of
Developers and Special Interests who gain off your votes and have found a new way to direct money into a election
through employment as a CEO for a nonprofit who rely on volunteers and their heartfelt donations. Wake Up

Summary, City Council Approval Requested, and Questions?
Councilmember Delgleize clarified with City Manager Chi that Council is expected to select one of the
four Workforce Reduction Program Options which were presented for a balanced budget.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy confirmed with City Manager Chi that approximately seventeen percent (17%) of
eligible employees need to participate in order for the budget to balance, of which 145 are
Miscellaneous and 64 are Safety fully vested employees. City Manager Chi confirmed that Options 1, 2,
3 provide the numbers needed to balance the budget. There was further discussion on how much the
CalPERS option would add to Unfunded Liability and the likelihood that tenured Public Safety staff
might possibly increase Workers Compensation claims. Option 4 could result in the smallest budget
reduction since the positions tend to be at the lowest salaries, as well as the required meet and confer
process could take some time to complete.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy stated her support for a retirement incentive program as being most cost
effective, specifically Option 3 as it would not increase the CalPERS Unfunded Liability, and moved the
item as presented with inclusion of W orkforce Reduction Option 3.
Councilmember Carr stated her support for Workforce Reduction Option 3, and for providing a second
to the motion if rather than approving the budget currently showing funding for three (3) additional
positions in Safety, she would like to hold two (2) of those positions for the Homeless Task Force and
bring that issue back in November when the homeless shelter is operated by the City. Mayor Pro Tem
Hardy was open to considering her amendment, but requested additional discussion.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy and Assistant Chief of Police Kelly Rodriguez discussed Safety staffing issues,
specifically clarification on the current need for management when addressing the homeless situation,
and the on-going efforts to recruit entry-level staff as well as using lateral changes.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy and City Manager Chi reviewed the Police Management side letter addressing
new staff, and confirmed there are currently eight (8) officer positions that are authorized but unfunded.
The proposed budget would fund two (2) of those positions. Currently, there is also one (1) Lieutenant
and one (1) Sargent position which are authorized but unfunded. The proposed budget would fund the
Lieutenant position.
Councilmember Carr clarified her position that homelessness is currently the biggest issue to address
within the City, but in her opinion there comes the point where available resources need to be
reallocated for more efficiency in meeting the most pressing need, and the appropriate action is to
remain mean and lean, not increase that budget.
Councilmember Brenden and City Manager Chi discussed there is no breakdown of numbers between
the Police and Fire Departments because of the anonymous nature of the survey. Councilmember
Brenden summarized the need for restructuring citywide and expressed his opinion that the best way to
29
City Council/Public Financing Authority
Special Meeting Minutes, June 29, 2020
Page 6 of 7
efficiently deliver services while shrinking the workforce is Option 3 as the least costly way to move
forward. He also stated his agreement with Councilmember Carr regarding returning at mid-year for a
budget review to address the Police Department staffing needs.
Councilmember Posey and City Manager Chi discussed details for Option 3 and the expectation that
most new hires in Safety tend to be Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) employees which
on average cost about thirty-six percent (36%) less than Classic employees.
Councilmember Posey shared his thoughts on the declining park development impact fees and asked
that a line item be added to the budget showing City Attorney fees to determine if court fines and fees
are actually covering City Attorney Office expenses. City Manager Chi confirmed that the City
Attorney's Office budget for 2020/21 Professional Services costs shows a greater number than last
year's budget because of reallocation from the non-departmental category. Councilmember Posey
stated he expects more transparency and detail on those costs for the next budget review.
Councilmember Posey stated his support for filling funded Police Department positions, with two (2) of
those positions dedicated to the homelessness effort after the City has control of the Navigation Center.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy restated her motion to include Workforce Reduction Option 3, and accepted
Councilmember Carr’s request to return to Council on November 2 to consider reassignment of two of
three funded/underfilled Police Department positions to the Homeless Task Force. Councilmember
Carr provided a second to the motion.
Councilmember Posey and City Manager Chi discussed plans related to Channel 3 funding and
programming. City Manager Chi stated that Public, Educational and Government (PEG) channel fees
are restricted funds, and the plan is to adjust programming expenditures to ensure they do not exceed
the revenue stream.
Councilmember Posey and City Manager Chi discussed the rationale behind budgeting for two (2)
additional Code Enforcement Officers.
Councilmember Peterson, calling in remotely, discussed with City Manager Chi details on CalPERS
Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) payments, and potential impacts from the economic shutdown due to
COVID-19. There was further discussion on funding for Option 3, which City Manager Chi described as
a one-time cost that would be made up with reduced salary costs moving ahead, and confirmed the
plan is to NOT use Reserve funds. Councilmember Peterson stated he will not support any staff
reduction plan that offers any incentive.
Councilmember Delgleize stated her support for Option 3 and for Councilmembers Carr and Hardy
regarding another look at police staffing in November.
Mayor Semeta stated her opinion that "quality of life for the people served" is the ultimate goal when
making staffing decisions, and she supports immediate funding for Safety management to be
adequately managing homeless issues. She also stated she does not support Option 3 because of the
extra expense for incentives.
Councilmember Posey stated he also does not like Option 3, but believes it is better and more cost
efficient than Option 4 would be, and suggested revisiting temporary pay cuts for Department Heads as
another means of reducing costs.
Councilmember Delgleize thanked City Manager Chi for his efforts on the budget, and stated her
opinion that since time is money, she will support Option 3 vs. Option 4.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
1. 20-1740 Emergency meeting held to consider the closure of all City controlled beaches and
associated infrastructure during the period between July 3 - 5, 2020, to protect public
health, safety, and welfare during the COVID-19 pandemic
City Manager Oliver Chi presented a PowerPoint communication entitled: July 4th Holiday Beach
Closure Consideration with slides titled: Background and Huntington Beach Options
Councilmember Delgleize reported that the entire Board of Supervisors for Riverside are in quarantine,
and she has received multiple messages from residents urging closure of Huntington and Sunset
Beaches for the July 4th weekend.
Mayor Semeta and City Manager Chi discussed that it is up to the Council to decide if he and staff will
have the authority to close beaches and if so, which days. Mr. Chi stated that the intent is to impact
residents as little as possible while promoting health and safety. There was discussion of the
challenges of being the only beach open with good weather and higher than normal surf conditions, and
City Manager Chi stated his opinion it will be important for Huntington Beach to coordinate with the
plans of other beach cities in the area.
Councilmember Posey stated his opinion that it is important to look at how the beach can be closed, but
have minimal impact on local businesses, and therefore he would like to see the beach closed on July
33

4th, leaving authority to close on July 5th with the City Manager. He added that Downtown businesses
can provide take-out and possibly outside dining service. Councilmember Posey also suggested
closing beach parking lots but leaving the bike path open.
Councilmember Carr stated her concern regarding large groups congregating at the beach, and support
for closing the beach on July 4th. Councilmember Carr, Police Chief Handy and Fire Chief Haberle
discussed the challenges of keeping the beach open for early hours for surfing and active recreation
only on July 3rd, 4th and 5th, with parking and infrastructure closed. Chief Handy highlighted the
challenges his department already faces in today's atmosphere in addition to clearing the beach, and
the other issues that will require safety staff attention such as fireworks, parties, expanded parade
routes and marine safety.
Councilmember Delgleize suggested that regardless of the policy in effect for Huntington Beach,
Sunset Beach should be closed for the weekend because of their proximity to Los Angeles and their
closed beaches.
Mayor Semeta emphasized how much the Council supports all of the City's safety officers and

further stated he has received hundreds of emails from residents with the majority asking that the
beaches be closed for the July 4th weekend.

beach should be closed based on local considerations and matching the actions taken by neighboring
beach cities.

public safety.

additional officer training. Councilmember Brenden commended Chief Handy for the five-year statistic
that only one hundredth of one percent (.0001%) of all calls resulted in the use of force.

in-process situations.

more emphasis on the positive and compassionate actions of officers when dealing with the public.
Mayor Semeta stressed the importance of advocating for more funding at all government levels to allow
officers to focus on issues related to crime, and suggested that Chief Handy's presentation be
disseminated more widely within the community to help the public understand the great Police
Department that Huntington Beach has and the integrity of its officers.
Councilmember Peterson thanked Chief Handy for his excellent report, and suggested that all
Community Advisory Board members be exposed to the officers’ point of view through videos that
demonstrate the options available in a rapidly escalating situation. Chief Handy responded that there
will be a required training component that will incorporate the simulator, the laws that govern use of
force, policies, procedures, and standard practices.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy thanked Chief Handy for patiently listening to questions and responding to
community concerns especially during the last couple of months, and for his excellent presentation for
the Study Session.

Police Chief Robert Handy provided an update of Police Department activities over the holiday
weekend including the strategy to prepare for the holiday. He thanked Community Services Director
Chris Slama and Community Services Manager Chris Cole, for the adapted July 4th Parade. Pre-
holiday reports of fireworks were higher this year compared to last year, however July 4th calls were
down this year compared to last year, and anecdotally there was increased fireworks activity throughout
the City. On July 4th there were 53 fireworks confiscations including 22 citations and 20 arrests.
Fire Chief Scott Haberle provided an update of the Fire Department activities over the holiday weekend,
including social media campaigns before July 4th. On July 4th there were seven (7) investigations of
dumpster and small debris fires; there were no structural fires, and over 300 pounds of fireworks were
confiscated. One Police Officer received burns as he was attempting to extinguish neighborhood
fireworks, and was commended for taking action that most likely prevented a resident from being
harmed. Overall, the Fire Department had about fifty percent (50%) fewer calls compared to last year,
most likely due to the beach closure. Marine Safety staff worked a 24-hour schedule this year in
conjunction with the Police Department for enforcement action and education, and assisting with
keeping people off the beach. There were 3 or 4 rescues due to rough water conditions.
Councilmember Delgleize and Police Chief Handy discussed the citations and fines, and new

Haberle for riding in the 4th of July parade.
Councilmember Posey complimented both the Fire and Police Departments for their services to keep

18. 20-1717 Approved for Introduction Ordinance Nos. 4214, 4212, 4215, 4216, and 4213,
approving Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 19-005 and Municipal Code
Amendment adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes)
Senior Planner Hayden Beckman presented a PowerPoint communication entitled Zoning Text
Amendment No. 19-005 with slides titled: Background (3), Amendments, Chapter 204 Use
Classifications (2), Chapter 210 Residential Districts, Additional Provision L-8 (continued), Chapter 210
Residential Districts (2), Chapter 230 Site Standards, Chapter 230.28 Group Homes (continued) (2),
HBMC Chapter 5.110 Group Homes, Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005, Staff and Planning
Commission Recommendation, and Questions?
Director of Community Development, Ursula Luna-Reynosa, clarified that this action is not a prohibition,
but a regulatory framework, for Group Homes.
Councilmember Posey confirmed with staff that this is a regulatory framework which will provide a tool
for permit revocation. Senior Planner Beckman confirmed that existing group or sober living homes
and residential care facilities can apply for a permit. City Attorney Michael Gates confirmed that this
action will not shut down any existing facilities. Councilmember Posey asked for a future update on
46

Regular Meeting Minutes

illegal sober living homes. Senior Planner Beckman explained the difference between being a patient
vs owning a Sober Living Home regarding certain crime convictions.
Councilmember Brenden and Chief Assistant City Attorney Vigliotta discussed that location distance
limits for Sober Living Homes cannot consider what may be across a border in an adjacent city.
Councilmember Brenden clarified for the record that Councilmember Peterson partnered in bringing the
original request last Fall, and thanked both the City Attorney's Office and Community Development staff
for putting in the time necessary to reach this point. There was further staff discussion on procedures if
a Sober Living Home resident does not remain sober, as well as the time limit given for existing group
homes to come into compliance with the new ordinance.
Councilmember Delgleize and Senior Planner Beckman discussed that the regulatory framework
details will be available for the permit process on the City's website, and clarified that operators will be
required to disclose intake, management and program completion policies and procedures.
Councilmember Delgleize confirmed with staff that state licensed care homes with seven (7) or more
residents cannot be regulated by a city ordinance, and she expressed appreciation to Costa Mesa for
their leadership in this effort. Director Luna-Reynosa clarified that historically state licensed facilities of
six (6) or fewer residents are regulated by the state and a city is required to treat them as residential
facilities, and if there were more than six (6) residents the city was allowed control through the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. The intent of the current ordinance is to provide regulation for
non-state licensed facilities.
Councilmember Carr confirmed with staff that state-licensed facilities are not required to also have a
city permit, and discussed Referral Facilities restrictions vs. Group Homes or Sober Living Homes, the
proposed 1,000 foot buffer which staff explained follows Orange County's ordinance, and the permit
revocation process which is outlined in the code.
Councilmember Peterson and staff discussed procedures for public outreach to educate potential and
existing facility owners as well as neighborhood homeowners about the new ordinance. The current
procedure for homeowners to call code enforcement regarding issues with existing facilities will not
change, and letters will go to current homes and facilities that must comply with the new ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy verified with staff that operator permits are issued to a specific person at a
specific address and do not continue with new owners if the facility is moved or sold.
Councilmember Posey confirmed with Senior Planner Beckman that currently there are approximately
177 state licensed Sober Living Homes or residential care facilities in Huntington Beach, and the
majority of complaints are related to noise, excessive cigarette smoke, pedestrian and parking issues.
Director Luna-Reynosa explained that current regulations would consider these as nuisance
complaints, but if the ordinance is passed these issues would become permit violations. There was
discussion that the ordinance is not expected to produce increased issues, but over time may actually
reduce complaints if permits are revoked.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy confirmed with Senior Planner Beckman that the intent is to list facility permits
on the City's website.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy opened the Public Hearing for this item.

presenting this ordinance, as well as the City of Costa Mesa for leading the way to provide an effective
enforcement tool.
Councilmember Brenden clarified with staff that prior calls for service will be available for consideration
when enforcing this ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy summarized that this will be an enforcement mechanism for non-compliant

Michael Gates and staff, as well as Community Development staff, for the hours of time it took to make
that model fit the City’s needs to create this enforcement tool.

effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act

22. 20-1741 Approved Temporary Closure of the Second Block of Main Street to vehicular
traffic to allow restaurants to serve patrons in the public right-of-way
City Manager Oliver Chi presented a brief overview of this issue described as a response to Governor
Newsom's new COVID-19 directive that shut down inside dining for the restaurant industry again in
Orange County and selected other counties within the State. This proposal is different from the parklet
proposal addressed by Council a couple of weeks ago. This proposal is only for the City to facilitate a
temporary program that would allow restaurants on the Second Block of Main Street to serve patrons in
the public right-of-way for as long as Governor Newsom's order stands.
Mayor Semeta thanked staff for the quick response to the changing situation.
Councilmember Delgleize and City Manager Chi discussed some of the logistics and expectation of
availability no later than this next weekend if approved. City Manager Chi added that this is a
temporary solution for local restaurants on the second block of Main Street, not a mandatory program.
Councilmember Posey commended City Manager Chi for quickly responding to the need as the City
strives to help Main Street restaurants serve as many patrons as possible.
Councilmember Carr expressed her concern of also finding ways to help other restaurants on other
streets. City Manager Chi explained that the temporary emergency use for outdoor commercial permit
program that was approved a couple of weeks ago is still available for businesses outside of the
second block of Main Street. City Manager Chi stated that the concentration of restaurants on the
51
City Council/Public Financing Authority
Regular Meeting Minutes
July 6, 2020, Page 17 of 18
second block of Main Street is driving this additional measure for temporarily closing that part of Main
Street to vehicular traffic to allow access to a greater area.
Councilmember Posey and City Manager Chi discussed the commercial outdoor permit program and
plans to streamline the process.
Councilmember Brenden expressed his support for this program which is focused on specific
permanent businesses downtown vs. Surf City Tuesday night vendors.
Mayor Pro Tem Hardy stated her expectation that the City be prepared for very timely logistical
responses if Governor Newsom announces restrictions again, not only for closing down or opening up
the street for vehicular traffic, but also handing the permit process.
A motion was made by Semeta, second Posey to direct the City Manager to temporarily close the
second block of Main Street in response to the current State order prohibiting indoor restaurant service,
and work with all related departments including the City Attorney's Office, Community Development,
and the Police Department to develop a permitting system to allow restaurants to serve patrons food in
the public right-of-way.

AYES: Posey, Delgleize, Hardy, Semeta, Peterson, Carr, and Brenden

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Tom Herbel, PE, Acting Director of Public Works
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-47 establishing Permit Parking District “Z” affecting residents
along the Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street, and
Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive
Statement of Issue:
Residents along the Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street, and
along Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive, have petitioned the City to establish a
residential permit parking district, Permit Parking District “Z”, in Huntington Beach.
Financial Impact:
The regulations of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 (Permit Parking Districts) require
that the residents choosing to participate in a residential permit parking district pay a proportionate
share of the cost to establish or amend the district, making the district cost neutral to the City. Typical
costs include, but are not limited to, fabrication and installation of signs, curb markings, which are
initially funded in the General Fund Signs and Marking business unit 10085302, and staff time to
issue permits, which are funded in the General Fund Transportation Management business unit
10085301. The total cost for this parking district is estimated at $1,390, or $66 per address .
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-47, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing Permit Parking District ‘Z’ Within the City of Huntington Beach.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt Resolution No. 2020-47, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Residents along the Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street, and
adjacent to Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive, have petitioned the City requesting
a permit parking district be created due to commuter vehicle parking impacts and related issues. The
neighborhood is located on the north side of Heil Avenue between Goldenwest Street and Gothard

Street, as shown in Attachment #2.
In addition to the commuter vehicle parking impacts on parking availability, residents expressed their
concerns with associated issues of late-night noise, littering, parking too close to driveways, and
finding curbside areas to place trash bins on the street on collection day. The requested permit
parking restrictions are 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day, including holidays.
Following procedures in Municipal Code (MC) Chapter 10.42 Permit Parking Districts, staff validated
the petition, determined the concerns of the residents merit further consideration, and considered the
proposed area to be reasonable.
Staff prepared and sent letters to the affected properties explaining the permit parking district
requirements, boundaries, and included ballots for voting on the permit parking district proposal. As
stated in MC Chapter 10.42, a minimum of 75% of the property units must vote in favor of the parking
district to move the request forward for further consideration. The voting results met the minimum
criteria initiating the evaluation of the conditions of the requested permit parking area.
Following the procedures outlined in MC Chapter 10.42, staff investigated the conditions to examine
the parking conditions and related concerns. Field observations and discussions with the residents
demonstrated that the street experiences recurring parking impacts from commuter vehicles, with the
most significant impacts occurring on the weekend. Although noise and trash bin moving issues
were not observed by staff, these concerns were mentioned by several of the residents as frequent
commuter vehicle parking related issues. Due to these conditions, staff determined that the
unrestricted parking creates situations where the commuter vehicle parking regularly interferes with
residents and their guest parking, and creates other concerns for the residents.
The City Council was originally set to consider the permit parking district request at the June 15,
2020, meeting that recommended including only the west portion of the frontage road. Notifications
were sent to the surrounding area. As a result of these notifications, some residents expressed
interest in being included in the permit parking district, and two residents communicated they wished
to change their original vote from opposed to being in favor. The change of the two votes resulted in
the entire frontage road meeting the 75% support threshold. The revised voting results showed the
Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street, and Sabot Lane between
Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive, met the 75% minimum support voting requirement to request
establishing permit parking on those streets.
Based on the voting results, field surveys, discussions and comments received from the residents,
staff believes findings can be made demonstrating that commuter vehicle parking unreasonably and
regularly interferes with the use of available on-street parking for residents and guests, and causes
other related disturbances. These findings are consistent with requirements of the Municipal Code
as a basis for establishing permit parking.
The number of affected addresses that would comprise Permit Parking District “Z” is 21 addresses
and is shown in Attachment #3. Notices were sent to the affected properties, as well as properties
within 500 feet of the proposed district boundaries, indicating the date and time of the City Council
meeting.

Permit Parking District Request – Heil Avenue Frontage Road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street, and Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive
Residents on Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street, and Sabot
Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive have petitioned the City to establish permit parking due
to parking impacts and associated issues from commuter vehicle parking. The request area is located
along the north side of Heil Avenue between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street. A vicinity map of
the area is presented in the diagram below.

Original Permit Parking District Request:
Figure 1 shows the original petitioned permit parking area along the Heil Avenue frontage road. The
requested parking restrictions are 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day, including holidays. Including the
commuter vehicle parking impacts, residents expressed their concerns with associated issues of late
night noise, littering, parking too close to driveways, and finding areas for placing trash bins on the
street on the collection day as the reasons for initiating the process to establish permit parking on their
street.
As required by Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, staff reviewed the request, determined the petition and
concerns of the residents were valid, and considered the proposed area to be reasonable.
Staff prepared and mailed letters to the affected properties explaining the permit parking district
requirements, boundaries, and included ballots for voting on the permit parking district request.

Per Municipal Code 10.42 a minimum of 75% of the property units (1 vote per unit) shall be in favor of
establishing permit parking to move the request for further consideration. Of the 19 affected
properties, 18 ballots were returned with 15 votes in favor of permit parking (83%) and three votes not
supporting permit parking. The 75% minimum support requirement was satisfied to continue the
evaluation. Table 1 summarizes the voting results of the original Heil Avenue frontage road permit
parking district request.

Table 1. Voting Summary of Permit Parking District Original Request
As required by code staff investigated the parking conditions and related issues on the proposed
permit parking street. The code requires that facts exist that reasonably establish that unrestricted
parking creates a situation in which the subject streets cannot be used for regular parking by residents
or their guests, or creates a situation that commuter vehicles or their occupants produce significant
sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns to continue the process for further consideration. Below

During the weekdays, parking impacts were observed between the evening to early morning hours.
The most impacted field observation occurred on the weekend where a majority of the available on-
street parking was occupied by commuter vehicles. These parking impacts could affect the availability
of on-street parking for the residents and their guests. In addition to the parking impacts, the
residents expressed concerns with trash left on the street and front yards, and late night noise
attributed to the commuter vehicle parking. Although staff observations of the area did not witness
occurrences of trash on the street or noise, these concerns were expressed by many of the residents as
recurring commuter vehicle parking issues.
Municipal Code 10.42 requires that specific conditions shall exist for a parking district request to move
forward for consideration to the City Manager’s office. These include: unrestricted parking creates a
situation where on-street parking cannot be regularly used by residents and guests; or, unrestricted
parking by commuter vehicles produces significant sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns.
Based on the field evaluations and discussions with the residents, staff determined that the
unrestricted parking creates a situation where the commuter vehicle parking regularly interferes with
residents and their guests parking, and produces significant sources of welfare concerns, and
recommended establishing the permit parking district.
Revised Voting Results:
Prior to the original request being considered by City Council, staff mailed notifications to properties
within a minimum of 500 foot radius of the proposed permit parking district area. Staff received
several responses from residents in the neighborhood supporting and opposing the permit parking
district request. In addition to receiving responses from residents outside the parking district area,
staff was contacted by a resident within the proposed parking district who communicated the desire to
change their vote from “YES” to “NO”. Due to this change, the original permit parking district area no
longer met the minimum 75% support requirement, however, the west section of the Heil Avenue
frontage road still qualified with a minimum of 75% voting in favor of the request. The revised voting
results for the west and east section of the Heil Avenue frontage road based on the one vote change is
shown on Table 2 and Figure 2.

Updated Permit Parking District Request:
Due to the revised voting results and responses received by staff from residents on nearby streets after
the notifications were mailed, staff’s decided to re-ballot the area to give an opportunity for residents
on the adjacent streets to participate in permit parking and confirm the affected addresses support for
the proposal. Staff received comments from the residents on Sabot Lane and Sunlight Drive expressing
interest in joining the Heil Avenue frontage road for permit parking, prompting staff to re-ballot the
area to determine if these streets would qualify to be included in a new permit parking district. The
voting results showed the west section of Heil Avenue frontage road and Sabot Lane between Heil
Avenue and Sunlight Drive qualified to be considered for permit parking. Voting results are shown on

Resident Comments Requesting Entire Frontage Road for Permit Parking:
Prior to the updated permit parking district being considered by City Council, staff received comments
from the residents on the east section of the Heil Avenue frontage road who expressed interest in
being included in the parking district. The residents on the east section of the Heil Avenue frontage
road commented that the entire frontage road, not just the west section, should become permit
parking due to the likely result of on-street parking impacting the east section of the Heil Frontage road
if only the west section is permitted. Because of these comments the updated permit parking district
area was revised to include the entire frontage road and Sabot Lane north of Heil Avenue and is shown
in Figure 4.

Staff Recommendations:
Based on the updated voting results, field surveys and discussions with residents staff has determined
that the provisions in Municipal Code 10.42 have been met as a basis for establishing a permit parking
district. Staff recommends establishing Residential Permit Parking District “Z” consisting of Heil
Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Sabot Lane, and Sabot Lane between Heil
Avenue and Sunlight Drive and is shown in Figure 4. The parking district is recommended to include
Sabot Lane due to the probable shift in commuter vehicle parking to that street with permit parking
implemented on the Heil Avenue frontage road.

City of Huntington Beach
File #:20-1753 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Dahle Bulosan, Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of a Professional Services Contract between the City of
Huntington Beach and Hinderliter, De Llamas and Associates, for Sales and Use Tax Auditing
Services
Statement of Issue:
City Council approval is requested to authorize a three-year professional services contract between
the City and Hinderliter, De Llamas and Associates (HdL) to provide professional sales and use tax
auditing services.
Financial Impact:
The proposed new contract includes an annual fixed fee for a total of $16,200 in fixed fees. In
addition, HDL would receive 15 percent of any new sales and use tax revenue received by the City
as a result of its extensive audit and sales and use tax recovery work, if the tax recovery work is
approved by the State Board of Equalization (BOE). This audit fee applies to additional monies
received in the first six consecutive reporting quarters beginning with the receipt of the audit revenue ,
and includes retroactive back-quarter adjustments obtained by the firm. Sufficient appropriation
($75,000 per year for three years) is budgeted in the Finance Department (account 10035201) for
year one of the contract. Future years of the contract will be funded through out-year budgets to
cover the remaining contract commitment. Payments will only be made for audit recoveries if
approved by the BOE and after the revenue has been received by the City. The City received
approximately $1.4 million in additional sales tax revenue from a comprehensive multi-year audit
recovery project performed by HdL. This recovery was performed under the current contract with
HDL that is expiring on July 31, 2020.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a “Professional Services Contract
Between the City of Huntington Beach and Hinderliter, De Llamas and Associates, for Sales and Use
Tax Auditing Services.”
Alternative Action(s):
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™70
File #:20-1753 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Do not approve the recommended action, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach’s FY 2020/21 Adopted Budget reflects $42.2 million in projected sales
and use tax revenue. This revenue is deposited into the City’s General Fund and helps to finance
core services,such as public safety, recreation, library, public works and other community programs.
Ensuring the City receives its fair share of funding is critical as each dollar helps to fund these
essential services. The State Board of Equalization (BOE) determines all sales and use tax
revenues remitted to local governments; however, occasionally mistakes do occur.
To ensure that allocations made by the BOE are as accurate as possible, the City has utilized the
services of HdL since 1988 to act on behalf of the City to pursue misallocated funds. The City’s most
recent contract with HdL is a three-year contract,which ends on July 31, 2020. To ensure
competitive pricing going forward, and re-evaluate the existing pool of firms providing sales tax
auditing services, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on April 23, 2020, to reconsider the
pool of vendors that are eligible to perform this service.
As a result of the RFP, proposals were received from three firms: Hinderliter, de Llamas and
Associates (HdL); MuniServices, LLC; and Sotomayor & Associates. The proposals were evaluated
by a committee of Finance Department and Administration Department staff on the basis of the
following: 1) Ability to provide the required services; 2) Approach to accomplishing the work plan; 3)
Experience in providing similar services to other jurisdictions successfully; and 4) Cost.
HdL is recommended as the chosen firm based on the complete responsiveness to the RFP
requirements, and their experience in providing the required services. After a competitive RFP
process, the City is requesting approval to enter into a three-year professional services agreement
with HdL totaling $225,000.
Currently, 500 local government agencies in 11 states utilize HdL to assist in the tracking, monitoring,
and auditing of sales and property tax allocations by the State. As sales and use tax information is
proprietary pursuant to State Law, jurisdictions choosing to hire a specialized auditing firm to verify
the tax allocations made by the State must have City Council authorization allowing the firm access
to the City’s sales and use tax information. HdL extensively analyzes sales and use tax data to
ensure BOE allocations are correct on their client’s behalf. The audit recovery service has a 15
percent fee for all revenue recovered, up to a maximum of six quarters, due to the extensive work
and documentation it entails, as well as testifying before the BOE if needed. This specialized firm
identifies and corrects various tax allocation errors including, but not limited to, the following:
·Sales reported as “use tax” transactions.
·“Point of Sale” revenues misreported to administrative offices or other locations.
·Misallocations occurring because sales from multiple retail outlets, order desk, or offices are
credited to a single location.
·Misallocations due to jurisdiction miscoding.
·“Use Tax” transactions exceeding $500,000 not allocated to the host agency.
·Construction-related sales listed as “installation” rather than “over-the-counter.”
·Warehouses that function as a “point of sales” but not identified as such.
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™71
File #:20-1753 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
·Misallocations that occur due to zip code, boundary, or jurisdictional discrepancies.
Below is a summary of the fixed cost and recovery fees responsive to the Request for Proposal:
Consultant Annual Flat Fee Recovery Fees Other
HdL Year 1: $ 0 15% contingency fee Contingency applies to 6 quarters
Year 2: $ 6,000 15% contingency fee Contingency applies to 6 quarters
Year 3: $10.200 15% contingency fee Contingency applies to 6 quarters
Vendor #2 $5,000
Subject to annual
CPI
8% contingency fee Contingency applies to 5 quarters after the Date of
Correction and all eligible prior quarters back to
and including the 3 quarters prior to the Date of
Knowledge quarter with a maximum of 9 total
quarter
Staff analyzed and reviewed the proposals based on a variety of factors,including the consultant’s
responsiveness to the RFP; qualifications and relevant experience; references; and resumes of key
staff. Staff is recommending HdL to provide Sales and Use Tax Auditing Services as defined in
Exhibit A and Exhibit B of the contract. HdL’s experience in identifying businesses whose sales and
use tax remittances to the State were erroneously allocated to other jurisdictions,due to one or more
of the aforementioned reasons, is exceptional.
The requested contract is to compensate HdL for audit activities that result in additional revenues to
the City. Under the current three-year contract, HdL recovered approximately $1.4 million in revenue
from the BOE on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach.
Please note that procedures are in place by the City’s Finance Department to help ensure that HdL is
only paid for additional tax revenue received by the City attributable to their efforts. Staff has created
an internal multi-step procedure to confirm amounts HdL submits for payment including obtaining
copies of the BOE letters to HdL that confirm BOE approval of their audit findings made on behalf of
the City. In addition, pursuant to the contract, payments are not made to HdL until the increased
sales tax revenue is actually received by the City as a result of their audit work, which is also
confirmed by the Finance Department by reviewing detailed proprietary sales and use tax reports
provided by the BOE.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Stephanie Beverage, Director of Library Services
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of the Professional Services Contract between the City of
Huntington Beach and Noll & Tam Architects to Complete a Library Facilities Master Plan
Utilizing Restricted Library Development Impact Fee Funds; and, approve appropriation of
funds
Statement of Issue:
Staff is requesting City Council authorization to execute a contract for professional services with Noll
& Tam Architects to complete a Library Facilities Master Plan.
Financial Impact:
The Library Development Impact Fee (Fund 229) has an existing fund balance of $1.1 M available for
library facility improvements. The proposed Library Facilities Master Plan with Noll & Tam Architects
will cost $289,697, and is allowable Library Development Impact Fee expenditure.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute “Professional Services Contract Between the
City of Huntington Beach and Noll & Tam Architects for a Library Facilities Master Plan” and
appropriate $289,697 in the Library Development Impact Fund (Business Unit 22950001).
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and award the contract, and direct staff to take alternate action.
Analysis:
Most major library systems conduct regular Master Planning projects to help set direction and guide
the investment in and development of library services and the facilities that support those services.
The master planning process involves extensive community engagement, to assess the community’s
aspirations and needs, while looking at economic changes, demographics, trends within the Library
field and in society as a whole, to determine the scope and direction for services and facility
development.

The Huntington Beach Public Library has not engaged in a master planning process since the 1980s,
and there have been many changes and developments in libraries and library services since then. In
2019, during strategic planning, the City Council identified a Library Facilities Master Plan as a
strategic objective. As we look ahead, and consider how the City changes, this is the time to engage
the community and City stakeholders about the library and library system we will need moving
through the 21st Century.
In February 2020, the City issued an RFP for a Library Facilities Master Plan. The City received four
qualified proposals from Architectural Design firms. All four proposals were from excellent, reputable
firms with experience working with libraries of all sizes. A team with representatives from the Library,
Public Works and Community Development Department conducted the review of proposals. The top
two firms were invited to interview. This round of interviews was completed in May of 2020. After
review and discussion, staff recommended selecting Noll & Tam Architects for the project.
Noll & Tam has planned and designed more than 60 libraries and community centers since their
founding in 1992 - from master planning, to large new buildings to small, complex renovations.
Joining with Noll & Tam will be the Margaret Sullivan Studio, a national leader in working with public
libraries and mission-driven institutions. Since the firm’s establishment in 2014, Margaret Sullivan
Studio has worked with more than 40 public library systems to define their 21st century libraries. The
project timeline is 6 months, and involves extensive community engagement through a variety of
tools and methods designed to facilitate communication during these challenging times.
The Library Development Impact Fund specifically supports master planning, to ensure that the City
has an effective guide for investment and development of the Library in support of our changing City
and community. The LDIF will easily cover the entire cost for this project, and will provide the City
with a robust Library Facilities Master Plan.

Huntington Beach, CA 92648
Re: City of Huntington Beach Library Facilities Masterplan
Dear Ms. Serrano, and Members of the Selection Committee:
We are pleased to present our proposal to provide architectural design services for the Library Facilities
Masterplan. This project is an exciting opportunity to help the Huntington Beach Public Library system
plan for the future, with an eye to providing welcoming spaces that support community interaction,
expand the library’s programs, and improve efficient staff operation.
Noll & Tam has planned and designed more than 60 libraries and community centers since our founding
in 1992 – from master planning, to large new buildings to small, complex renovations. Our Half Moon Bay
Library was recently honored with a national AIA/ALA Library Building Award, with the jury commenting
that the building is “more than a learning center, but an enduring example of architectural excellence.”
We believe in a collaborative approach to design. Each project we undertake develops out of an
understanding of the priorities of our clients, the needs of the community, the physical requirements of
the place, and the client’s strategic goals.
For this project, we’ve brought together a great team of experienced people to lead a comprehensive
and engaging process. I will be the Principal in Charge, actively leading our team’s efforts from our
Berkeley office, joined by Elaine Kross as Project Manager and Trina Goodwin as Library Planner/Interiors
Architect. Joining us will be Margaret Sullivan Studio, a national leader in working with public libraries and
mission-driven institutions. Since the firm’s establishment in 2014, Margaret Sullivan Studio has worked
with more than 40 public library systems to define their 21st century libraries. We will be supported by a
highly qualified, local team of engineers and other consultants with whom we will work together to meet
and exceed client expectations.
We are excited about the prospect of working with you on this project. The fee proposal we have
provided is valid for 180 days. We are confident that, together, we will develop a masterplan that will
identify the best possible solutions for the Huntington Beach Public Library system to enhance services
offered to the community. Our goal for this project will be to provide the City with a good, realistic
roadmap that will meet your needs for the short and long term. Our team will give this project all the
enthusiasm, energy and conscientious effort for which we are known.
Sincerely,

NOLL & TAM ARCHITECTS HUNTINGTON BEACH LIBRARY FACILITIES MASTERPLAN 02
B. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT
UNDERSTANDING
Our goal for this project will be
to create defensible 20-Year
Master Plan that will clearly
illustrate the need for growth and
development of the facilities, their
optimal geographic location and
sizing, and the comprehensive
financial scenarios (including
both construction and library
operational costs) associated with
this Facilities Master Plan. This
work will provide the roadmap
to coordinate the growth and
maintenance of Library Services
as an integral part of the City.
More importantly, the Master Plan
will lay the foundation for the
library to reach new audiences,
expand existing customer use of
library resources, and re-imagine
your libraries.
We will open the project with
research into who lives and
works in the City of Huntington
Beach – understanding that the
diverse resident and employee
populations, library customers,
non-customers, and core
customers will inform the use
of library buildings now and in
the future. The lifestyles, hopes,
and dreams of people shape the
proposed uses of library facilities.
This will help us determine the
optimal location and “flavor” of
library facilities to maximize their
role as vibrant civic spaces.
In the City of Huntington Beach,
the future plans for the airport
redevelopment, participation in
the Bloomberg Wellbeing Initiative,
long-standing partnerships with
local enterprises such as the
RAND Corporation and emerging
opportunities with a growing
group of entertainment, gaming,
and technology companies is
an exciting context for a new
kind of library facilities planning.
Our team’s work will view the
library facilities as catalysts
for neighborhood stability,
integration, and development; as
supports for existing enterprises
and new wealth creation; as places
for on-demand learning, education
and meet-up opportunities; as
inviting platforms for inclusion
and prosperity for all; and as civic
emergency centers in disaster
or crisis incidents. This team has
the expertise, experience, and
vision required to understand
trends and future forces. The team
approach enlists the community,
library leaders, and library staff to
envision meaningful facilities and
spaces that mobilize library assets
on many civic fronts.
Our work will launch from the 2015
Strategic Plan, the first since 1993,
which recast the public library
as a vibrant learning center, a
well-being cultivator, a dynamic
third place, and a community and
culture connector. The Master
Plan will look at ways the facilities
can be nimble and flexible, adapt
as new services are prototyped
and perfected, and enable staff to
operate efficiently, effectively and
with exceptional impact.
For our team, the definition of a
successful Facilities Master Plan
is a relevant and contemporary
document that activates the
Huntington Beach Public Library’s
Vision, Mission, and Strategic
Initiatives. It will provide a road
map for the City and the Library
to achieve their common goal of
fostering a healthy, inclusive, and
sustainable Huntington Beach.

NOLL & TAM ARCHITECTS HUNTINGTON BEACH LIBRARY FACILITIES MASTERPLAN 03
C. METHODOLOGY
PROJECT APPROACH
The Noll & Tam Architects team,
in collaboration with Margaret
Sullivan Studio, is a diverse group
of architects, urban planners,
community engagement experts,
and library service innovation and
implementation experts. This team
has the training, credentials and
experience to complete all the
phases of the Library Facilities
Masterplan, helping you to answer
the key questions that will guide
our work:
Build from the Community Up:
Who are we designing facilities
for and why? Who lives and works
in Huntington Beach and what
are their lifestyles, life stages, and
life dreams? Who uses the library
now and how? Who doesn’t and
why not? How will we impact
the lives of all in our community
for the next 20 years, and how
do we design our facilities to
support their life goals, needs, and
aspirations?
Lead with your Legacy: How will
we optimize the role of libraries
in the 21st Century? What are the
opportunities for the Huntington
Beach Public Library to maximize
the use of its facilities and other
resources to improve the well-
being of people who live and work
in the City of Huntington Beach?
How will we position the library
facilities to extend and activate
the goals of our strategic work?
Support Economic Development
Goals: How can we use
this process of community
engagement and envisioning the
preferred future for all residents
of the City of Huntington Beach
to create a defensible “business
plan” for the future of the library
facilities to enable positive
learning experiences for all?
How can we position this work to
demonstrate that this investment
in the library’s most visible asset
is essential for individual and
community development?
Our team starts with these key
inquiries to define and refine
the vision for maximizing the
use, enjoyment and relevance of
Huntington Public Library facilities
in the next two decades. Our
process will align these important
library assets with the City of
Huntington Beach’s agenda for
growth and change. Our work
will engage City and Library
leaders, along with community
residents and stakeholders to
get the best possible picture of
what the local opportunities are
for the library. It also will draw on
the team’s significant experience
with other public libraries who
are activating facility and service
resources to effectively contribute

OUR PROCESS
As stated in the RFP, the Scope of
Services has been identified as the
following:
1. Review Related Documents;
2. Research;
3. Engagement and Public
Participation;
4. Masterplan Development.
The following workplan and
schedule outlines an approach,
incorporating the Scope
of Services with the team’s
methodology.
Our methodology is workshop-
based, highly participatory,
and incorporates human-
centered design techniques. It is
customized and inquiry-based to
address the Huntington Public
Library’s specific conditions.
Our process is collaborative. We
believe that the City staff will be
an extension of our planning team.
We support the RFP’s statement
that effective community
engagement is critical to success.
Therefore, preliminary planning is
an important first step to ensure
successful invitations, maximum
participation, enough time for
active listening, and meaningful
engagement sessions. We also
may want to explore planning for
staff engagement, a technique
that we employ that both allows
the staff to be involved in research
and development and to be active
participants in workshopping
the future vision, resulting in
capacity building for successful
implementation. At the beginning
of the process, we will also want
to identify when and how many
public engagement sessions we
anticipate.

In 2008, Noll & Tam conducted a facilities master plan for the
Berkeley Public Library’s branch libraries. The Berkeley Public Library,
established in 1893, is one of the most heavily used public library
systems in California. We evaluated the four branches – Claremont,
North Branch, West Branch, and South Branch – to determine how
they were responding to the needs of the community and what was
needed to bring them up to current standards. The branches were
also measured against one another to establish a system standard and
make sure deficiencies between the branches were addressed.

Noll & Tam is working with San Rafael Public Library to study sites for
new and upgraded library facilities. Previous studies had determined a
pressing need for more library space, up to almost four times the size
of their current facilities. We have worked with the City and the Library
to identify possible options for a new downtown main library, including
a renovation and expansion of their existing historic building as, a
combined facility with an existing community center, or a completely
new building. We also explored possible sites for a new neighborhood
branch library, including a retail location within an existing mall, and
the possibilities for expansion of their one small existing branch.

WOODLAND LIBRARY MASTER PLAN
In 2016, Noll & Tam was engaged to develop a Facility Master Plan
for the oldest operating Carnegie library in California, the Woodland
Library. The last update to the library was almost 30 years ago, and
the needs of the staff and community have far outpaced the capacity
of the current facility to meet those needs. With the goal of securing
support and funding, our Facility Master Plan identifies a range of
short- to long-term renovation projects which will provide a road map
for the library to implement immediate improvements, while planning
for longer-term projects as funding permits. Focused on flexibility, the
facility master plan will be a useful management tool into the future,
guiding the library’s development as its needs change.
SANTA CRUZ DOWNTOWN LIBRARY STUDY
The City of Santa Cruz hired Noll & Tam to study the options for
renovating, rebuilding or moving their Downtown Library, which
serves the entire region. The current building is aged, deteriorated,
and struggles to provide contemporary services for its community.
We evaluated the existing building programmatically and structurally
and assessed the cost of renovating it to meet current needs. We
also developed site and design criteria which were used to evaluate a
number of options for relocation of the library.

Noll & Tam first worked on the Menlo Park Library in 2011, when we
designed a new Circulation Desk for their lobby. Returning in 2016, our
team completed a space needs study for this 33,000-sqft. downtown
library. To identify the needs of the library and the desires of the
community, our team engaged in extensive stakeholder outreach,
including meeting with the Friends, a teen advisory group, and the
library steering group. We developed and cost estimated several
schemes including two remodel options and two new building options,
and presented these options to the City Council, which voted to move
forward with a new 44,000-sqft. building on the existing site.

hub of community activity that caters to all age ranges and diverse user
needs. Noll & Tam’s design honors the coastal and agricultural roots of
the community, while serving current and future technology needs. The
library features daylit interior spaces, outdoor reading plazas, acoustically
separated areas for teen activities, and a flexible maker space. The library
opened to great celebration in August 2018.

Margaret Sullivan Studio (MSS) has been working with the Las
Vegas-Clark County Library District since 2015 on a series of
projects to re-envision the District’s programs and services to
inform current and future facilities planning, programming,
and operations. MSS began as a Strategic Planning Consultant
and has since been engaged with the Library to develop their
2018 Facilities Master Plan, Facilities Design Standards, two
new Building Programs, the design for a new Library (Mesquite),
and the facilitation of the 2017 Staff Day Workshop, and
an Experience Principle Workshop to integrate Workforce
Connections and the Library’s Career Services partnerships.
As a result of this work, MSS, in collaboration with Danielle
as the District’s strategic visionary, has engaged over 200
community leaders and experts in meaningful dialogue that has
been critical to the Library’s repositioning. The work has also
enabled the shift in mindset for 730 staff members. MSS has
become a trusted advisor and resource to staff at every level,
constantly encouraging and supporting the staff in their efforts
to transform their communities.
The Facilities Master Plan Decision Framework guides priorities
for the District’s services, programs, and its facilities for the
next twenty years. Rooted in the 21st century definition of
the public library as an ecosystem of “People, Places and
Platforms,” the planning process resulted in a vision for the
District’s communities’ facilities, conceptual plans for the
buildings, and a decision framework to prioritize funding and
implementation. The first phase of the Facilities Master Plan
began in the Fall of 2019. MSS created the service vision and
conceptual design as an extension of the District’s Strategic
Plan to enable service goals to be consistent across the
District while honoring local conditions and to ensure future
sustainability, growth, and adaptability for the District.

RICHLAND LIBRARY RENOVATION

BUDGET: $2 - $20 million

mhuggins@richlandlibrary.com
In 2014, Richland County passed a $59 million bond
referendum to renovate eleven library locations including
the 200,000 square foot Main Library and ten branch
libraries, ranging in size from 5,000 to 30,000 square
feet. MSS served as programmer and interior designer to
re-imagine what it means to be a 21st century library, and
worked with all four architecture and design teams on the
projects associated with the bond referendum.
The Studio’s work with the library began with a Master Facilities
Study, named Library as Studio, to create a strategic vision for
the facilities that was an extension of the Library’s strategic
objectives.
Working with Adaptive Path, a service design firm from San
Francisco, the Studio created a new adaptable framework
for both customer service and physical space design. Based
on service design, human-centered design principles, and
community placemaking techniques, MSS generated a
revolutionary methodology to displace the standard template
library programmers have been using for the past fifty years.
Instead of designing for functional departments, the libraries
were designed as Studio Domains. These domains administer
community-centric environments for all ages and stages. To
activate the strategic Studio Domains, the design team created
a series of Library as Studio Components to be applied based
on the functional goals of each branch.
The final renovation project opened to the public in 2018 and
already there is evidence to show that the Library as Studio
approach to master facilities planning has enabled Richland
Library to advance its strategic goals and increase facility use,
program attendance, and number of cardholders. In 2017,
Richland Library was the recipient of the IMLS National Medal
for Museum and Library Services.

Analysis:
Each school year, the City seeks to fill the full roster of nine student representatives on the
Huntington Beach Youth Board. This year, four representatives have graduated from high school,
thereby creating four vacancies, and five current representatives are seeking reappointment to the
2020-2021 Board term. Recruitments at each of the high schools resulted in several applications.
After interviewing potential candidates, Council Member liaisons Hardy and Carr selected the
following four new At-Large Members: Vivian Bui, Huntington Beach High School; Luke
Blankenbaker, Huntington Beach High School; Kenady Osborne, Marina High School; and Emma
Weston, Edison High School.
Council Member liaisons Jill Hardy and Kim Carr are also recommending the reappointment of the
following students to an additional term: Bella Brannon, Ocean View High School Representative;
Samuel Dater, Edison High School Representative; Kathryn Robinson, Marina High School
Representative; Caitlin Sheetz, Edison High School At-Large Member; and Jenna Ali, Huntington
Beach High School, Representative. All were instrumental in fundraising and event coordination for
the 2020 Youth in Government Day event, which was eventually canceled due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
This board meets on the second Monday of each month in the fifth floor conference room at 3:30
p.m. The Youth Board consists of nine members (four high school representatives and five high
school at-large representatives). All board members serve a one-year term, beginning June through

Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC) met to discuss pending Federal and State legislation on
July 15, 2020 in addition to Administrative Items. The Committee reviewed the 2020 State Legislative Matrix
provided by the City’s Federal and State Advocate Townsend Public Affairs. The following is an analysis of the
bills that the Committee chose to take the following positions on:
Ø SUPPORT - SB 1386 (Moorlach) “Local Government: Assessments, fees, and charges on water
hydrants”
Current law, known as the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, prescribes specific
procedures and parameters for local jurisdictions to comply with these requirements and, among other
things, authorizes an agency providing water, wastewater, sewer, or refuse collection services to adopt
a schedule of fees or charges authorizing automatic adjustments that pass through increases in
wholesale charges for water, sewage treatment, or wastewater treatment or adjustments for inflation
under certain circumstances. Current law defines, among other terms, the term “water” for these
purposes to mean any system of public improvements intended to provide for the production, storage,
supply, treatment, or distribution of water from any source. This bill would specify that hydrants, as
defined, are part of the system of public improvements included in the definition of “water” for purposes
of the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act.
Ø WATCH - AB 1063 (Petrie-Norris) - “Planning and zoning law on housing elements, accessory
dwelling units, and adequate site substitutes”
Current law authorizes the Department of Housing and Community Development, in evaluating a
proposed or adopted housing element for substantial compliance with the provisions of the Planning
and Zoning Law relating to housing elements, to allow a city or county to identify adequate sites by a
variety of methods, as specified. Current law authorizes the department to allow a city or county to
identify sites for accessory dwelling units based on the number of accessory dwelling units developed
in the prior housing element planning period whether or not the units are permitted by right, the need
for these units in the community, those units in the community, the resources or incentives available for
their development, and any other relevant factors, as determined by the department. This bill would,
instead, require the department, in making that evaluation, to allow a city or county to identify adequate
sites by a variety of methods, as specified. The bill would require the department to allow a city or
county to identify sites for potential accessory dwelling units based on existing zoning standards and
the demonstrated potential capacity to accommodate accessory dwelling units and junior accessory
dwelling units, as determined by the city or county.
Ø OPPOSE - SB 1120 (Atkins) - “Subdivisions: tentative maps”
This Bill would, among other things, require a proposed housing development containing 2 residential
units to be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or hearing, in zones where allowable
uses are limited to single-family residential development if the proposed housing development meets
certain requirements, including that the proposed housing development would not require demolition or
alteration requiring evacuation or eviction of an existing housing unit that is subject to a recorded
covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate,
low, or very low income.
Ø OPPOSE - SB 1385 (Caballero) - “Local planning: housing, commercial zones”
The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term
general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries,
that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. This bill, the Neighborhood
Homes Act, would deem a housing development project, as defined, an allowable use on a
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™168
File #:20-1778 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Homes Act, would deem a housing development project, as defined, an allowable use on a
neighborhood lot that is zoned for office or retail commercial use under a local agency’s zoning code or
general plan. The bill would require the density for a housing development under these provisions to
meet or exceed the density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households
according to the type of local jurisdiction, including a density of at least 20 units per acre for a suburban
jurisdiction.
Ø WATCH - Senate Constitutional Amendment 1 (Allen) - “Public housing projects”
The California Constitution prohibits the development, construction, or acquisition of a low rent housing
project, as defined, in any manner by any state public body until a majority of the qualified electors of
the city, town, or county in which the development, construction, or acquisition of the low-rent housing
project is proposed approve the project by voting in favor at an election, as specified. This measure
would repeal these provisions.
Ø OPPOSE - SB 1299 (Portantino) - “Housing development: incentives, rezoning of idle retail
sites”
Current law establishes, among other housing programs, the Workforce Housing Reward Program,
which requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to make local assistance
grants to cities, counties, and cities and counties that provide land use approval to housing
developments that are affordable to very low and low-income households. This bill, upon appropriation
by the Legislature, would require the department to administer a program to provide incentives in the
form of grants allocated as provided to local governments that rezone idle sites used for a big box
retailer or a commercial shopping center to instead allow the development of workforce housing. The
bill would define various terms for these purposes. In order to be eligible for a grant, the bill would
require a local government, among other things, to apply to the department for an allocation of grant
funds and provide documentation that it has met specified requirements.
Ø WATCH - AB 2345 (Gonzalez) - “Planning and zoning: density bonuses, annual report,
affordable housing”
The Planning and Zoning Law requires the planning agency of a city or county to provide by April 1 of
each year an annual report to, among other entities, the Department of Housing and Community
Development that includes, among other specified information, the number of net new units of housing
that have been issued a completed entitlement, a building permit, or a certificate of occupancy, thus far
in the housing element cycle, as provided. This bill would require that the annual report include
specified information regarding density bonuses granted in accordance with specified law.
Ø WATCH - Library Stabilization Fund Act (Reed and Levin)
This Act would establish a $2 billion fund to address financial losses of libraries due to COVID-19 and
bolster library services. The Act would prioritize funding for the hardest hit communities and would be
delivered through the Institute of Museum and Library Services. A large portion of the funds would be
distributed to local libraries through state library agencies based on state population, with a minimum of
$10 million to each state. The Act would also provide for competitive grants. The primary objective of
this Act is to minimize the disruption of library services and staff furloughs and layoffs across the
country. It would also defray costs related to the safe re-opening of libraries and support a range of
services to patrons.

line 4 53750.5. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the
line 5 following:
line 6 (1) The provision of fire Fire service is a different and distinct
line 7 category of service from the water service made available by a

line 10 that aids in the provision of fire service.
line 11 (2) Hydrants owned by water service providers are a public
line 12 fixture, appliance, or appurtenance connected to a water system
line 13 for the purpose of providing an immediately available water service
line 14 and are often used by a water service provider for water system
line 15 maintenance.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1063
Introduced by Assembly Member Petrie-Norris
February 21, 2019
An act to add Section 100523 to the Government Code, relating to
healthcare coverage. amend Sections 65583.1 and 65583.2 of, and to
add Section 65585.5 to, the Government Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1063, as amended, Petrie-Norris. Healthcare coverage: waivers.
Planning and Zoning Law: housing elements: accessory dwelling units:
adequate site substitutes.
(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires that the housing element
of a city’s or county’s general plan consist of an identification and
analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of
goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources, and scheduled
programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of
housing. The law requires the Department of Housing and Community
Development to determine the existing and projected need for housing
for each region, as specified. The law also requires that the housing
element include an inventory of land suitable for residential development
and requires that inventory to be used to identify sites that can be
developed for housing within the planning period and that are sufficient
to provide for the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need.
Existing law requires the planning agency of a city or county to submit
a draft element or draft amendment to the department prior to adoption,
97 178
as specified. Existing law requires the department to determine whether
the draft element or draft amendment substantially complies with the
provisions of the Planning and Zoning Law relating to housing elements.
Existing law authorizes the department, in evaluating a proposed or
adopted housing element for substantial compliance with the provisions
of the Planning and Zoning Law relating to housing elements, to allow
a city or county to identify adequate sites by a variety of methods, as
specified. Existing law authorizes the department to allow a city or
county to identify sites for accessory dwelling units based on the number
of accessory dwelling units developed in the prior housing element
planning period whether or not the units are permitted by right, the
need for these units in the community, those units in the community, the
resources or incentives available for their development, and any other
relevant factors, as determined by the department.
This bill would, instead, require the department, in making that
evaluation, to allow a city or county to identify adequate sites by a
variety of methods, as specified. The bill would require the department
to allow a city or county to identify sites for potential accessory dwelling
units based on existing zoning standards and the demonstrated potential
capacity to accommodate accessory dwelling units and junior accessory
dwelling units, as determined by the city or county. If the combination
of potential accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling
units constitutes greater than 50% of the units identified to meet the
city’s or county’s share of the regional need for affordable housing for
lower income households, the bill would require the housing element
to provide supplementary policies, programs, and actions that further
encourage or incentivize the development of accessory dwelling units
and junior accessory dwelling units for lower income households. The
bill would require the department to determine the affordability of a
potential accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit
by taking into account relevant factors justified by the city or county,
as specified. The bill would require the department to presume that
very low and low-income renter households would occupy accessory
units in a proportion greater than or equal to the proportion of very
low and low- income renter households to all renter households in the
city or county, as specified.
Existing law authorizes the department to allow a city or county to
substitute the provision of units for up to 25% of the city’s or county’s
obligation to identify adequate sites for any income category if the city
or county includes in its housing element a program committing the
97
— 2 — AB 1063 179
city or county to provide qualifying units in that income category within
the city or county that will be made available through the provision of
committed assistance, as specified. Under existing law, units qualify
for inclusion in the program providing committed assistance if the units,
among other requirements, are located either on foreclosed property
or in a multifamily rental or ownership housing complex of 3 or more
units, and have long-term affordability covenants and restrictions that
require the units to be affordable to persons of low- or very low income
for not less than 55 years. Under existing law, units also qualify for
inclusion in the program if the units, among other requirements, have
long-term affordability covenants and restrictions that require the unit
to be affordable to, and reserved for occupancy by, persons of the same
or lower income group as the current occupants for a period of at least
40 years, and the city or county finds that the units are eligible, and
are reasonably expected, to change from housing affordable to low-
and very low income households to any other use during the next 5
years due to specified events.
This bill, instead, would authorize the department to allow a city or
county to substitute the provision of units for up to 50% of the city’s or
county’s obligation to identify adequate sites for any income category
if the city or county includes in its housing element a program that
either commits the city or county to provide, or requires a private entity
to provide, specified units in that income category within the city or
county that will be made available through the provision of committed
assistance, as specified. The bill would revise the qualifications for
inclusion in the program for both types of units described above by
reducing the minimum period of time for the affordability covenants
and restrictions to 20 years unless a longer period is required by other
supplementary financial assistance. The bill would also revise the
qualifications for the latter type of units by extending the period of time
within which the city or county is required to find the units are eligible,
and are reasonably expected, to change to another use to 10 years.
Existing law requires a city or county that has included in its housing
element a qualified program providing units with committed assistance
to provide a progress report to the legislative body and to the
department in the 3rd year of the planning period, as specified. If the
city or county has not entered into an enforceable agreement of
committed assistance for all units specified in those programs by July
1 of the 3rd year of the planning period, existing law requires the city
or county to adopt an amended housing element identifying additional
97
AB 1063 — 3 — 180
adequate sites sufficient to accommodate the number of units for which
committed assistance was not provided not later than July 1 of the 4th
year of the planning period.
This bill would instead require the city or county to provide that
report in the 5th year of the planning period. If the city or county has
not entered into that agreement of committed assistance by July 1 of
the 5th year of the planning period, the bill would require the city or
county to adopt that amended housing element not later than July 1 of
the 6th year of the planning period.
Under existing law, the above-described provisions governing the
substitution of adequate site identification with the provision of units
do not apply to a city or county that, during the current or immediately
prior planning period, has not met any of its share of the regional need
for affordable housing for low- and very low income households.
This bill would remove that exclusion.
(2) The Planning and Zoning Law also requires the inventory of land
suitable for residential development in the housing element to include,
among other things, a description of the existing use of each property
on nonvacant sites. Existing law requires the city or county to specify
the additional development potential for each nonvacant site within the
planning period and to provide an explanation of the methodology to
determine that potential. If a city or county relies on nonvacant sites
to accommodate 50% or more of its housing need for lower income
households, existing law requires that methodology to demonstrate that
the existing use does not constitute an impediment to additional
development during the period covered by the housing element. Existing
law requires an existing use to be presumed to impede additional
residential development, absent findings based on substantial evidence
that the use is likely to be discontinued during the planning period.
This bill would deem certain conditions to be substantial evidence
that an existing use is likely to be discontinued during the planning
period.
(3) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a planning agency to
submit its draft housing element or amendment to the housing element
and, after adoption by the legislative body, a copy of the adopted
housing element or amendment to the Department of Housing and
Community Development for review. If the department finds that the
housing element or amendment does not substantially comply with
specified law, existing law requires the department to notify the city,
county, or city and county, and authorizes the department to notify the
97
— 4 — AB 1063 181
Attorney General, that the city, county, or city and county is in violation
of state law. Existing law authorizes the Attorney General, in an action
relating to housing element compliance pursuant to a notice or referral
from the department, to request that the court issue an order or judgment
directing the jurisdiction to bring its housing element in substantial
compliance and authorizes the court to impose fines and order specified
other remedies under certain circumstances.
This bill, for the 6th and each subsequent revision of the housing
element, if an affected local government has submitted the revision of
its housing element to the voters for approval before the applicable due
date but the voters have not yet voted on the housing element revision,
would exempt that local government from the above-described fines or
other penalties for failure to adopt its housing element by the applicable
due date. The bill, for the 6th and each subsequent revision of the
housing element, if the affected local government has submitted the
applicable revision of its housing element to the voters for approval
before the applicable due date and the voters have rejected the housing
element, would similarly exempt the affected local government from
the above-described fines or penalties for failure to adopt its housing
element by the applicable due date, but would authorize the court in
an action brought by the Attorney General to order specified remedies
under which the agent of the court may take all governmental actions
necessary to bring the jurisdiction’s housing element into substantial
compliance in order to remedy identified deficiencies. The bill would
define “affected local government” for these purposes to mean a local
government that is subject to a requirement that the adoption or
amendment of the housing element be approved by the voters of that
local government and that has submitted a draft of the applicable
proposed revision of its housing element to the department.
Existing federal law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(PPACA), requires each state to establish an American Health Benefit
Exchange to facilitate the purchase of qualified health benefit plans by
qualified individuals and qualified small employers. PPACA authorizes
a state to apply to the United States Department of Health and Human
Services for a state innovation waiver of any or all PPACA requirements,
if certain criteria are met, including that the state has enacted a law that
provides for state actions under a waiver. Existing state law creates the
California Health Benefit Exchange, also known as Covered California,
to facilitate the enrollment of qualified individuals and qualified small
employers in qualified health plans as required under PPACA.

AB 1063 — 5 — 182
This bill would require express statutory authority to request a state
innovation waiver from the United States Department of Health and
Human Services. The bill would also make related findings and
declarations.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. Section 65583.1 of the Government Code is
line 2 amended to read:
line 3 65583.1. (a) (1) The Department of Housing and Community
line 4 Development, in evaluating a proposed or adopted housing element
line 5 for substantial compliance with this article, may shall allow a city
line 6 or county to identify adequate sites, as required pursuant to Section
line 7 65583, by a variety of methods, including, but not limited to,
line 8 redesignation of property to a more intense land use category and
line 9 increasing the density allowed within one or more categories. The
line 10 (2) (A) The department may shall also allow a city or county
line 11 to identify sites for potential accessory dwelling units based on
line 12 the number of accessory dwelling units developed in the prior
line 13 housing element planning period whether or not the units are
line 14 permitted by right, the need for these units in the community, the
line 15 resources or incentives available for their development, and any
line 16 other relevant factors, as determined by the department. Nothing
line 17 existing zoning standards and the demonstrated potential capacity
line 18 to accommodate accessory dwelling units and junior accessory
line 19 dwelling units, as determined by the city or county. If the
line 20 combination of potential accessory dwelling units and junior
line 21 accessory dwelling units constitutes greater than 50 percent of the
line 22 units identified to meet the city’s or county’s share of the regional
line 23 need for affordable housing for lower income households, the
line 24 housing element shall provide supplementary policies, programs,
line 25 and actions that further encourage or incentivize the development
line 26 of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units
line 27 for lower income households.
line 28 (B) For purposes of this paragraph, the department shall
line 29 determine the affordability of a potential accessory dwelling unit
line 30 or a junior accessory dwelling unit by taking into account the city’s
line 31 or county’s need for accessory dwelling units and a junior
97
— 6 — AB 1063 183
line 1 accessory dwelling units in the city or county, the resources or
line 2 incentives available for their development, and any other relevant
line 3 factors justified by the city or county. The department shall
line 4 presume that very low and low-income renter households would
line 5 occupy accessory units in a proportion greater than or equal to
line 6 the proportion of very low and low-income renter households to
line 7 all renter households in the city or county, as determined by the
line 8 most recently available data from the United States Department
line 9 of Housing and Urban Development’s Comprehensive Housing
line 10 Affordability Strategy database.
line 11 (3) Nothing in this section subdivision reduces the responsibility
line 12 of a city or county to identify, by income category, the total number
line 13 of sites for residential development as required by this article.
line 14 (b) (1) Sites that contain permanent housing units located on a
line 15 military base undergoing closure or conversion as a result of action
line 16 pursuant to the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base
line 17 Closure and Realignment Act (Public Law 100-526), the Defense
line 18 Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-510),
line 19 or any subsequent act requiring the closure or conversion of a
line 20 military base may be identified as an adequate site if the housing
line 21 element demonstrates that the housing units will be available for
line 22 occupancy by households within the planning period of the
line 23 element. No sites containing housing units scheduled or planned
line 24 for demolition or conversion to nonresidential uses shall qualify
line 25 as an adequate site.
line 26 Any
line 27 (2) Any city, city and county, or county using this subdivision
line 28 shall address the progress in meeting this section in the reports
line 29 provided pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section
line 30 65400.
line 31 (c) (1) The Department of Housing and Community
line 32 Development may allow a city or county to substitute the provision
line 33 of units for up to 25 50 percent of the community’s city’s or
line 34 county’s obligation to identify adequate sites for any income
line 35 category in its housing element pursuant to paragraph (1) of
line 36 subdivision (c) of Section 65583 where the community if the city
line 37 or county includes in its housing element a program committing
line 38 the local government to provide that either commits the city or
line 39 county to provide, or requires a private entity to provide, units in
line 40 that income category within the city or county that will be made

line 28 of the methodology for assigning those housing units to an income
line 29 category based on actual or projected sales price, rent levels, or
line 30 other mechanisms establishing affordability.
line 31 SEC. 2. Section 65583.2 of the Government Code, as amended
line 32 by Section 15.5 of Chapter 664 of the Statutes of 2019, is amended
line 33 to read:

line 35 for residential development pursuant to paragraph (3) of
line 36 subdivision (a) of Section 65583 shall be used to identify sites
line 37 throughout the community, consistent with paragraph (9) of
line 38 subdivision (c) of Section 65583, that can be developed for housing
line 39 within the planning period and that are sufficient to provide for
line 40 the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for all income

line 3 meet the following standards set forth in subdivisions (c) and (g):
line 4 (1) Vacant sites zoned for residential use.
line 5 (2) Vacant sites zoned for nonresidential use that allows
line 6 residential development.
line 7 (3) Residentially zoned sites that are capable of being developed
line 8 at a higher density, including sites owned or leased by a city,
line 9 county, or city and county.
line 10 (4) Sites zoned for nonresidential use that can be redeveloped
line 11 for residential use, and for which the housing element includes a
line 12 program to rezone the site, as necessary, rezoned for, to permit

line 14 or city and county.
line 15 (b) The inventory of land shall include all of the following:
line 16 (1) A listing of properties by assessor parcel number.
line 17 (2) The size of each property listed pursuant to paragraph (1),
line 18 and the general plan designation and zoning of each property.
line 19 (3) For nonvacant sites, a description of the existing use of each
line 20 property. If a site subject to this paragraph is owned by the city or
line 21 county, the description shall also include whether there are any
line 22 plans to dispose of the property during the planning period and
line 23 how the city or county will comply with Article 8 (commencing
line 24 with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title
line 25 5.
line 26 (4) A general description of any environmental constraints to
line 27 the development of housing within the jurisdiction, the

line 30 site-specific basis.
line 31 (5) (A) A description of existing or planned water, sewer, and
line 32 other dry utilities supply, including the availability and access to
line 33 distribution facilities.
line 34 (B) Parcels included in the inventory must have sufficient water,

line 36 housing development or be included in an existing general plan
line 37 program or other mandatory program or plan, including a program
line 38 or plan of a public or private entity providing water or sewer
line 39 service, to secure sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities supply

line 11 (c) Based on the information provided in subdivision (b), a city
line 12 or county shall determine whether each site in the inventory can
line 13 accommodate the development of some portion of its share of the
line 14 regional housing need by income level during the planning period,
line 15 as determined pursuant to Section 65584. The inventory shall
line 16 specify for each site the number of units that can realistically be
line 17 accommodated on that site and whether the site is adequate to
line 18 accommodate lower income housing, moderate-income housing,
line 19 or above moderate-income housing. A nonvacant site identified
line 20 pursuant to paragraph (3) or (4) of subdivision (a) in a prior housing
line 21 element and a vacant site that has been included in two or more
line 22 consecutive planning periods that was not approved to develop a

line 24 to accommodate a portion of the housing need for lower income
line 25 households that must be accommodated in the current housing
line 26 element planning period unless the site is zoned at residential
line 27 densities consistent with paragraph (3) of this subdivision and the
line 28 site is subject to a program in the housing element requiring
line 29 rezoning within three years of the beginning of the planning period
line 30 to allow residential use by right for housing developments in which
line 31 at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income
line 32 households. An unincorporated area in a nonmetropolitan county

line 1 housing. The city or county shall determine the number of housing
line 2 units that can be accommodated on each site as follows:
line 3 (1) If local law or regulations require the development of a site
line 4 at a minimum density, the department shall accept the planning
line 5 agency’s calculation of the total housing unit capacity on that site
line 6 based on the established minimum density. If the city or county
line 7 does not adopt a law or regulation requiring the development of a
line 8 site at a minimum density, then it shall demonstrate how the
line 9 number of units determined for that site pursuant to this subdivision
line 10 will be accommodated.
line 11 (2) The number of units calculated pursuant to paragraph (1)
line 12 shall be adjusted as necessary, based on the land use controls and
line 13 site improvements requirement identified in paragraph (5) of
line 14 subdivision (a) of Section 65583, the realistic development capacity
line 15 for the site, typical densities of existing or approved residential
line 16 developments at a similar affordability level in that jurisdiction,
line 17 and on the current or planned availability and accessibility of
line 18 sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities.
line 19 (A) A site smaller than half an acre shall not be deemed adequate
line 20 to accommodate lower income housing need unless the locality
line 21 can demonstrate that sites of equivalent size were successfully
line 22 developed during the prior planning period for an equivalent
line 23 number of lower income housing units as projected for the site or
line 24 unless the locality provides other evidence to the department that
line 25 the site is adequate to accommodate lower income housing.
line 26 (B) A site larger than 10 acres shall not be deemed adequate to
line 27 accommodate lower income housing need unless the locality can
line 28 demonstrate that sites of equivalent size were successfully
line 29 developed during the prior planning period for an equivalent
line 30 number of lower income housing units as projected for the site or
line 31 unless the locality provides other evidence to the department that
line 32 the site can be developed as lower income housing. For purposes
line 33 of this subparagraph, “site” means that portion of a parcel or parcels
line 34 designated to accommodate lower income housing needs pursuant
line 35 to this subdivision.
line 36 (C) A site may be presumed to be realistic for development to
line 37 accommodate lower income housing need if, at the time of the
line 38 adoption of the housing element, a development affordable to
line 39 lower income households has been proposed and approved for
line 40 development on the site.

line 1 (3) For the number of units calculated to accommodate its share
line 2 of the regional housing need for lower income households pursuant
line 3 to paragraph (2), a city or county shall do either of the following:
line 4 (A) Provide an analysis demonstrating how the adopted densities
line 5 accommodate this need. The analysis shall include, but is not
line 6 limited to, factors such as market demand, financial feasibility, or
line 7 information based on development project experience within a
line 8 zone or zones that provide housing for lower income households.
line 9 (B) The following densities shall be deemed appropriate to
line 10 accommodate housing for lower income households:
line 11 (i) For an incorporated city within a nonmetropolitan county
line 12 and for a nonmetropolitan county that has a micropolitan area:
line 13 sites allowing at least 15 units per acre.
line 14 (ii) For an unincorporated area in a nonmetropolitan county not
line 15 included in clause (i): sites allowing at least 10 units per acre.
line 16 (iii) For a suburban jurisdiction: sites allowing at least 20 units
line 17 per acre.
line 18 (iv) For a jurisdiction in a metropolitan county: sites allowing
line 19 at least 30 units per acre.
line 20 (d) For purposes of this section, a metropolitan county,
line 21 nonmetropolitan county, and nonmetropolitan county with a
line 22 micropolitan area shall be as determined by the United States
line 23 Census Bureau. A nonmetropolitan county with a micropolitan
line 24 area includes the following counties: Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake,
line 25 Mendocino, Nevada, Tehama, and Tuolumne and other counties
line 26 as may be determined by the United States Census Bureau to be
line 27 nonmetropolitan counties with micropolitan areas in the future.
line 28 (e) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a jurisdiction shall
line 29 be considered suburban if the jurisdiction does not meet the
line 30 requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (B) of
line 31 paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) and is located in a Metropolitan
line 32 Statistical Area (MSA) of less than 2,000,000 in population, unless
line 33 that jurisdiction’s population is greater than 100,000, in which
line 34 case it shall be considered metropolitan. A county, not including
line 35 the City and County of San Francisco, shall be considered suburban
line 36 unless the county is in an MSA of 2,000,000 or greater in
line 37 population in which case the county shall be considered
line 38 metropolitan.
line 39 (2) (A) (i) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if a county that is
line 40 in the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont California MSA has a
97
AB 1063 — 17 — 194
line 1 population of less than 400,000, that county shall be considered
line 2 suburban. If this county includes an incorporated city that has a
line 3 population of less than 100,000, this city shall also be considered
line 4 suburban. This paragraph shall apply to a housing element revision
line 5 cycle, as described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3) of
line 6 subdivision (e) of Section 65588, that is in effect from July 1,
line 7 2014, to December 31, 2028, inclusive.
line 8 (ii) A county subject to this subparagraph shall utilize the sum
line 9 existing in the county’s housing trust fund as of June 30, 2013, for
line 10 the development and preservation of housing affordable to low- and
line 11 very low income households.
line 12 (B) A jurisdiction that is classified as suburban pursuant to this
line 13 paragraph shall report to the Assembly Committee on Housing
line 14 and Community Development, the Senate Committee on Housing,
line 15 and the Department of Housing and Community Development
line 16 regarding its progress in developing low- and very low income
line 17 housing consistent with the requirements of Section 65400. The
line 18 report shall be provided three times: once, on or before December
line 19 31, 2019, which report shall address the initial four years of the
line 20 housing element cycle, a second time, on or before December 31,
line 21 2023, which report shall address the subsequent four years of the
line 22 housing element cycle, and a third time, on or before December
line 23 31, 2027, which report shall address the subsequent four years of
line 24 the housing element cycle and the cycle as a whole. The reports
line 25 shall be provided consistent with the requirements of Section 9795.
line 26 (f) A jurisdiction shall be considered metropolitan if the
line 27 jurisdiction does not meet the requirements for “suburban area”
line 28 above and is located in an MSA of 2,000,000 or greater in
line 29 population, unless that jurisdiction’s population is less than 25,000
line 30 in which case it shall be considered suburban.
line 31 (g) (1) For sites described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b),
line 32 the city or county shall specify the additional development potential
line 33 for each site within the planning period and shall provide an
line 34 explanation of the methodology used to determine the development
line 35 potential. The methodology shall consider factors including the
line 36 extent to which existing uses may constitute an impediment to
line 37 additional residential development, the city’s or county’s past
line 38 experience with converting existing uses to higher density
line 39 residential development, the current market demand for the existing
line 40 use, an analysis of any existing leases or other contracts that would
97
— 18 — AB 1063 195
line 1 perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site
line 2 for additional residential development, development trends, market
line 3 conditions, and regulatory or other incentives or standards to
line 4 encourage additional residential development on these sites.
line 5 (2) In addition to the analysis required in paragraph (1), when
line 6 a city or county is relying on nonvacant sites described in paragraph
line 7 (3) of subdivision (b) to accommodate 50 percent or more of its
line 8 housing need for lower income households, the methodology used
line 9 to determine additional development potential shall demonstrate
line 10 that the existing use identified pursuant to paragraph (3) of
line 11 subdivision (b) does not constitute an impediment to additional
line 12 residential development during the period covered by the housing
line 13 element. An existing use shall be presumed to impede additional
line 14 residential development, absent findings based on substantial
line 15 evidence that the use is likely to be discontinued during the
line 16 planning period. Any of the following conditions shall be deemed
line 17 to be substantial evidence that an existing use is likely to be
line 18 discontinued during the planning period:
line 19 (A) The existing improvement-to-land-value ratio is less than
line 20 1.0 for commercial and multifamily properties or less than 0.5 for
line 21 single-family properties according to the most recent available
line 22 property assessment roll.
line 23 (B) The site is designated a Moderate Resource area, High
line 24 Resource area, or Highest Resource area in the most recent Tax
line 25 Credit Allocation Committee Opportunity Map.
line 26 (C) Zoning for the site allows residential development by-right
line 27 that meets both of the following requirements:
line 28 (i) Have at least 100 percent more floor area than existing
line 29 structures on the site.
line 30 (ii) At least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower
line 31 income households.
line 32 (D) The use of nonvacant sites are accompanied by programs
line 33 and policies that encourage or incentivize the redevelopment to
line 34 residential use.
line 35 (3) Notwithstanding any other law, and in addition to the
line 36 requirements in paragraphs (1) and (2), sites that currently have
line 37 residential uses, or within the past five years have had residential
line 38 uses that have been vacated or demolished, that are or were subject
line 39 to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to
line 40 levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low
97
AB 1063 — 19 — 196
line 1 income, subject to any other form of rent or price control through
line 2 a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power, or occupied by
line 3 low or very low income households, shall be subject to a policy
line 4 requiring the replacement of all those units affordable to the same
line 5 or lower income level as a condition of any development on the
line 6 site. Replacement requirements shall be consistent with those set
line 7 forth in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65915.
line 8 (h) The program required by subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1)
line 9 of subdivision (c) of Section 65583 shall accommodate 100 percent
line 10 of the need for housing for very low and low-income households
line 11 allocated pursuant to Section 65584 for which site capacity has
line 12 not been identified in the inventory of sites pursuant to paragraph
line 13 (3) of subdivision (a) on sites that shall be zoned to permit
line 14 owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right for
line 15 developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are
line 16 affordable to lower income households during the planning period.
line 17 These sites shall be zoned with minimum density and development
line 18 standards that permit at least 16 units per site at a density of at
line 19 least 16 units per acre in jurisdictions described in clause (i) of
line 20 subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c), shall be at
line 21 least 20 units per acre in jurisdictions described in clauses (iii) and
line 22 (iv) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) and
line 23 shall meet the standards set forth in subparagraph (B) of paragraph
line 24 (5) of subdivision (b). At least 50 percent of the very low and
line 25 low-income housing need shall be accommodated on sites
line 26 designated for residential use and for which nonresidential uses
line 27 or mixed uses are not permitted, except that a city or county may
line 28 accommodate all of the very low and low-income housing need
line 29 on sites designated for mixed uses if those sites allow 100 percent
line 30 residential use and require that residential use occupy 50 percent
line 31 of the total floor area of a mixed-use project.
line 32 (i) For purposes of this section and Section 65583, the phrase
line 33 “use by right” shall mean that the local government’s review of
line 34 the owner-occupied or multifamily residential use may not require
line 35 a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other
line 36 discretionary local government review or approval that would
line 37 constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing
line 38 with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. Any subdivision
line 39 of the sites shall be subject to all laws, including, but not limited
line 40 to, the local government ordinance implementing the Subdivision
97
— 20 — AB 1063 197
line 1 Map Act. A local ordinance may provide that “use by right” does
line 2 not exempt the use from design review. However, that design
line 3 review shall not constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13
line 4 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
line 5 Use by right for all rental multifamily residential housing shall be
line 6 provided in accordance with subdivision (f) of Section 65589.5.
line 7 (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, within
line 8 one-half mile of a Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit station, housing
line 9 density requirements in place on June 30, 2014, shall apply.
line 10 (k) For purposes of subdivisions (a) and (b), the department
line 11 shall provide guidance to local governments to properly survey,
line 12 detail, and account for sites listed pursuant to Section 65585.
line 13 (l) This section shall remain in effect only until December 31,
line 14 2028, and as of that date is repealed.
line 15 SEC. 3. Section 65583.2 of the Government Code, as amended
line 16 by Section 16.5 of Chapter 664 of the Statutes of 2019, is amended
line 17 to read:
line 18 65583.2. (a) A city’s or county’s inventory of land suitable
line 19 for residential development pursuant to paragraph (3) of
line 20 subdivision (a) of Section 65583 shall be used to identify sites
line 21 throughout the community, consistent with paragraph (9) of
line 22 subdivision (c) of Section 65583, that can be developed for housing
line 23 within the planning period and that are sufficient to provide for
line 24 the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for all income
line 25 levels pursuant to Section 65584. As used in this section, “land
line 26 suitable for residential development” includes all of the following
line 27 sites that meet the standards set forth in subdivisions (c) and (g):
line 28 (1) Vacant sites zoned for residential use.
line 29 (2) Vacant sites zoned for nonresidential use that allows
line 30 residential development.
line 31 (3) Residentially zoned sites that are capable of being developed
line 32 at a higher density, and sites owned or leased by a city, county, or
line 33 city and county.
line 34 (4) Sites zoned for nonresidential use that can be redeveloped
line 35 for residential use, and for which the housing element includes a
line 36 program to rezone the site, as necessary, to permit residential use,
line 37 including sites owned or leased by a city, county, or city and
line 38 county.
line 39 (b) The inventory of land shall include all of the following:
line 40 (1) A listing of properties by assessor parcel number.
97
AB 1063 — 21 — 198
line 1 (2) The size of each property listed pursuant to paragraph (1),
line 2 and the general plan designation and zoning of each property.
line 3 (3) For nonvacant sites, a description of the existing use of each
line 4 property. If a site subject to this paragraph is owned by the city or
line 5 county, the description shall also include whether there are any
line 6 plans to dispose of the property during the planning period and
line 7 how the city or county will comply with Article 8 (commencing
line 8 with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title
line 9 5.
line 10 (4) A general description of any environmental constraints to
line 11 the development of housing within the jurisdiction, the
line 12 documentation for which has been made available to the
line 13 jurisdiction. This information need not be identified on a
line 14 site-specific basis.
line 15 (5) (A) A description of existing or planned water, sewer, and
line 16 other dry utilities supply, including the availability and access to
line 17 distribution facilities.
line 18 (B) Parcels included in the inventory must have sufficient water,
line 19 sewer, and dry utilities supply available and accessible to support
line 20 housing development or be included in an existing general plan
line 21 program or other mandatory program or plan, including a program
line 22 or plan of a public or private entity providing water or sewer
line 23 service, to secure sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities supply
line 24 to support housing development. This paragraph does not impose
line 25 any additional duty on the city or county to construct, finance, or
line 26 otherwise provide water, sewer, or dry utilities to parcels included
line 27 in the inventory.
line 28 (6) Sites identified as available for housing for above
line 29 moderate-income households in areas not served by public sewer
line 30 systems. This information need not be identified on a site-specific
line 31 basis.
line 32 (7) A map that shows the location of the sites included in the
line 33 inventory, such as the land use map from the jurisdiction’s general
line 34 plan for reference purposes only.
line 35 (c) Based on the information provided in subdivision (b), a city
line 36 or county shall determine whether each site in the inventory can
line 37 accommodate the development of some portion of its share of the
line 38 regional housing need by income level during the planning period,
line 39 as determined pursuant to Section 65584. The inventory shall
line 40 specify for each site the number of units that can realistically be
97
— 22 — AB 1063 199
line 1 accommodated on that site and whether the site is adequate to
line 2 accommodate lower income housing, moderate-income housing,
line 3 or above moderate-income housing. A nonvacant site identified
line 4 pursuant to paragraph (3) or (4) of subdivision (a) in a prior housing
line 5 element and a vacant site that has been included in two or more
line 6 consecutive planning periods that was not approved to develop a
line 7 portion of the locality’s housing need shall not be deemed adequate
line 8 to accommodate a portion of the housing need for lower income
line 9 households that must be accommodated in the current housing
line 10 element planning period unless the site is zoned at residential
line 11 densities consistent with paragraph (3) of this subdivision and the
line 12 site is subject to a program in the housing element requiring
line 13 rezoning within three years of the beginning of the planning period
line 14 to allow residential use by right for housing developments in which
line 15 at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income
line 16 households. A city that is an unincorporated area in a
line 17 nonmetropolitan county pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph
line 18 (B) of paragraph (3) shall not be subject to the requirements of
line 19 this subdivision to allow residential use by right. The analysis shall
line 20 determine whether the inventory can provide for a variety of types
line 21 of housing, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built
line 22 housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees,
line 23 supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency
line 24 shelters, and transitional housing. The city or county shall
line 25 determine the number of housing units that can be accommodated
line 26 on each site as follows:
line 27 (1) If local law or regulations require the development of a site
line 28 at a minimum density, the department shall accept the planning
line 29 agency’s calculation of the total housing unit capacity on that site
line 30 based on the established minimum density. If the city or county
line 31 does not adopt a law or regulation requiring the development of a
line 32 site at a minimum density, then it shall demonstrate how the
line 33 number of units determined for that site pursuant to this subdivision
line 34 will be accommodated.
line 35 (2) The number of units calculated pursuant to paragraph (1)
line 36 shall be adjusted as necessary, based on the land use controls and
line 37 site improvements requirement identified in paragraph (5) of
line 38 subdivision (a) of Section 65583, the realistic development capacity
line 39 for the site, typical densities of existing or approved residential
line 40 developments at a similar affordability level in that jurisdiction,
97
AB 1063 — 23 — 200
line 1 and on the current or planned availability and accessibility of
line 2 sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities.
line 3 (A) A site smaller than half an acre shall not be deemed adequate
line 4 to accommodate lower income housing need unless the locality
line 5 can demonstrate that sites of equivalent size were successfully
line 6 developed during the prior planning period for an equivalent
line 7 number of lower income housing units as projected for the site or
line 8 unless the locality provides other evidence to the department that
line 9 the site is adequate to accommodate lower income housing.
line 10 (B) A site larger than 10 acres shall not be deemed adequate to
line 11 accommodate lower income housing need unless the locality can
line 12 demonstrate that sites of equivalent size were successfully
line 13 developed during the prior planning period for an equivalent
line 14 number of lower income housing units as projected for the site or
line 15 unless the locality provides other evidence to the department that
line 16 the site can be developed as lower income housing. For purposes
line 17 of this subparagraph, “site” means that portion of a parcel or parcels
line 18 designated to accommodate lower income housing needs pursuant
line 19 to this subdivision.
line 20 (C) A site may be presumed to be realistic for development to
line 21 accommodate lower income housing need if, at the time of the
line 22 adoption of the housing element, a development affordable to
line 23 lower income households has been proposed and approved for
line 24 development on the site.
line 25 (3) For the number of units calculated to accommodate its share
line 26 of the regional housing need for lower income households pursuant
line 27 to paragraph (2), a city or county shall do either of the following:
line 28 (A) Provide an analysis demonstrating how the adopted densities
line 29 accommodate this need. The analysis shall include, but is not
line 30 limited to, factors such as market demand, financial feasibility, or
line 31 information based on development project experience within a
line 32 zone or zones that provide housing for lower income households.
line 33 (B) The following densities shall be deemed appropriate to
line 34 accommodate housing for lower income households:
line 35 (i) For an incorporated city within a nonmetropolitan county
line 36 and for a nonmetropolitan county that has a micropolitan area:
line 37 sites allowing at least 15 units per acre.
line 38 (ii) For an unincorporated area in a nonmetropolitan county not
line 39 included in clause (i): sites allowing at least 10 units per acre.
97
— 24 — AB 1063 201
line 1 (iii) For a suburban jurisdiction: sites allowing at least 20 units
line 2 per acre.
line 3 (iv) For a jurisdiction in a metropolitan county: sites allowing
line 4 at least 30 units per acre.
line 5 (d) For purposes of this section, a metropolitan county,
line 6 nonmetropolitan county, and nonmetropolitan county with a
line 7 micropolitan area shall be as determined by the United States
line 8 Census Bureau. A nonmetropolitan county with a micropolitan
line 9 area includes the following counties: Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake,
line 10 Mendocino, Nevada, Tehama, and Tuolumne and other counties
line 11 as may be determined by the United States Census Bureau to be
line 12 nonmetropolitan counties with micropolitan areas in the future.
line 13 (e) A jurisdiction shall be considered suburban if the jurisdiction
line 14 does not meet the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of
line 15 subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) and is located
line 16 in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) of less than 2,000,000
line 17 in population, unless that jurisdiction’s population is greater than
line 18 100,000, in which case it shall be considered metropolitan. A
line 19 county, not including the City and County of San Francisco, shall
line 20 be considered suburban unless the county is in an MSA of
line 21 2,000,000 or greater in population in which case the county shall
line 22 be considered metropolitan.
line 23 (f) A jurisdiction shall be considered metropolitan if the
line 24 jurisdiction does not meet the requirements for “suburban area”
line 25 above and is located in an MSA of 2,000,000 or greater in
line 26 population, unless that jurisdiction’s population is less than 25,000
line 27 in which case it shall be considered suburban.
line 28 (g) (1) For sites described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b),
line 29 the city or county shall specify the additional development potential
line 30 for each site within the planning period and shall provide an
line 31 explanation of the methodology used to determine the development
line 32 potential. The methodology shall consider factors including the
line 33 extent to which existing uses may constitute an impediment to
line 34 additional residential development, the city’s or county’s past
line 35 experience with converting existing uses to higher density
line 36 residential development, the current market demand for the existing
line 37 use, an analysis of any existing leases or other contracts that would
line 38 perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site
line 39 for additional residential development, development trends, market
97
AB 1063 — 25 — 202
line 1 conditions, and regulatory or other incentives or standards to
line 2 encourage additional residential development on these sites.
line 3 (2) In addition to the analysis required in paragraph (1), when
line 4 a city or county is relying on nonvacant sites described in paragraph
line 5 (3) of subdivision (b) to accommodate 50 percent or more of its
line 6 housing need for lower income households, the methodology used
line 7 to determine additional development potential shall demonstrate
line 8 that the existing use identified pursuant to paragraph (3) of
line 9 subdivision (b) does not constitute an impediment to additional
line 10 residential development during the period covered by the housing
line 11 element. An existing use shall be presumed to impede additional
line 12 residential development, absent findings based on substantial
line 13 evidence that the use is likely to be discontinued during the
line 14 planning period. Any of the following conditions shall be deemed
line 15 to be substantial evidence that an existing use is likely to be
line 16 discontinued during the planning period:
line 17 (A) The existing improvement-to-land-value ratio is less than
line 18 1.0 for commercial and multifamily properties or less than 0.5 for
line 19 single-family properties according to the most recent available
line 20 property assessment roll.
line 21 (B) The site is designated a Moderate Resource area, High
line 22 Resource area, or Highest Resource area in the most recent Tax
line 23 Credit Allocation Committee Opportunity Map.
line 24 (C) Zoning for the site allows residential development by-right
line 25 that meets both of the following requirements:
line 26 (i) Have at least 100 percent more floor area than existing
line 27 structures on the site.
line 28 (ii) At least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower
line 29 income households.
line 30 (D) The use of nonvacant sites are accompanied by programs
line 31 and policies that encourage or incentivize the redevelopment to
line 32 residential use.
line 33 (3) Notwithstanding any other law, and in addition to the
line 34 requirements in paragraphs (1) and (2), sites that currently have
line 35 residential uses, or within the past five years have had residential
line 36 uses that have been vacated or demolished, that are or were subject
line 37 to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to
line 38 levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low
line 39 income, subject to any other form of rent or price control through
line 40 a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power, or occupied by
97
— 26 — AB 1063 203
line 1 low or very low income households, shall be subject to a policy
line 2 requiring the replacement of all those units affordable to the same
line 3 or lower income level as a condition of any development on the
line 4 site. Replacement requirements shall be consistent with those set
line 5 forth in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65915.
line 6 (h) The program required by subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1)
line 7 of subdivision (c) of Section 65583 shall accommodate 100 percent

line 10 not been identified in the inventory of sites pursuant to paragraph
line 11 (3) of subdivision (a) on sites that shall be zoned to permit
line 12 owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right for
line 13 developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are
line 14 affordable to lower income households during the planning period.
line 15 These sites shall be zoned with minimum density and development
line 16 standards that permit at least 16 units per site at a density of at
line 17 least 16 units per acre in jurisdictions described in clause (i) of

line 37 of the sites shall be subject to all laws, including, but not limited
line 38 to, the local government ordinance implementing the Subdivision
line 39 Map Act. A local ordinance may provide that “use by right” does
line 40 not exempt the use from design review. However, that design

line 12 government” means a local government for which both of the
line 13 following apply:
line 14 (1) The local government is subject to a requirement that the
line 15 adoption or amendment of its housing element be approved by the
line 16 voters of the local government, including, but not limited to, a
line 17 requirement imposed by a charter adopted pursuant to Section 3
line 18 of Article XI of the California Constitution.
line 19 (2) The planning agency of the local government has submitted
line 20 a draft of the proposed revision of its housing element for the
line 21 applicable planning period to the department pursuant to Section
line 22 65585.
line 23 (b) Notwithstanding any other law, for the sixth and each
line 24 subsequent revision of the housing element, both of the following
line 25 shall apply:
line 26 (1) If an affected local government has submitted the applicable
line 27 revision of its housing element to the voters for approval before
line 28 the due date for its housing element pursuant to Section 65588,
line 29 but the voters have not yet voted on the housing element revision,
line 30 the affected local government shall not be subject to any fines or
line 31 other penalties pursuant to Section 65585 for failure to adopt its
line 32 housing element by the applicable due date pursuant to Section
line 33 65588. This paragraph shall only apply to an affected local
line 34 government until the date of the election at which the housing
line 35 element is submitted to the voters of the affected local government.
line 36 (2) If an affected local government has submitted the applicable
line 37 revision of its housing element to the voters for approval before
line 38 the due date for its housing element pursuant to Section 65588

line 1 pursuant to Section 65585 for failure to adopt its housing element
line 2 by the applicable date pursuant to Section 65588. However, in an
line 3 action brought by the Attorney General pursuant to Section 65585
line 4 against an affected local government described in this paragraph,
line 5 the court may order remedies available pursuant to Section 564
line 6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, under which the agent of the court
line 7 may take all governmental actions necessary to bring the
line 8 jurisdiction’s housing element into substantial compliance pursuant
line 9 to this article in order to remedy identified deficiencies.
line 10 SECTION 1. Section 100523 is added to the Government Code,
line 11 to read:
line 12 100523. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the goal
line 13 of the state innovation waiver of Section 1332 of the federal act
line 14 is to enable states to pursue alternative coverage approaches in the
line 15 individual and small group markets that are consistent with the
line 16 federal act.
line 17 (b) The Legislature also finds and declares that if the state
line 18 proposes an innovative strategy to offer coverage in the individual
line 19 and small group markets, that strategy shall provide coverage that
line 20 would be as accessible, comprehensive, and affordable as coverage
line 21 available pursuant to the federal act, that would cover a number
line 22 of state residents comparable to the number who would have been
line 23 covered under the federal act with coverage that is equally or more
line 24 comprehensive and equally or more affordable, and that would
line 25 not increase the federal deficit.
line 26 (c) A waiver shall not be requested from the United States
line 27 Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to Section
line 28 1332 of the federal act without express statutory authority.

SENATE BILL No. 1120
Introduced by Senators Atkins, Caballero, Rubio, and Wiener
(Principal coauthor: Senator McGuire)
(Coauthors: Senators Lena Gonzalez, Hill, Roth, and Rubio and
Roth)
February 19, 2020
An act to amend Section 66452.6 of, and to add Sections 65852.21
and 66411.7 to, the Government Code, relating to land use.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 1120, as amended, Atkins. Subdivisions: tentative maps.
The Planning and Zoning Law provides for the creation of accessory
dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted
an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified
standards and conditions.
This bill would would, among other things, require a proposed housing
development containing 2 residential units to be considered ministerially,
without discretionary review or hearing, in zones where allowable uses
are limited to single-family residential development if the proposed
housing development meets certain requirements, including that the
proposed housing development would not require demolition or
alteration requiring evacuation or eviction of an existing housing unit
that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts
rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or
very low income.
The Subdivision Map Act vests the authority to regulate and control
the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of
97 207
a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the local agency’s
processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing
of tentative, final, and parcel maps, and the modification of those maps.
Under the Subdivision Map Act, an approved or conditionally approved
tentative map expires 24 months after its approval or conditional
approval, approval or after any additional period of time as prescribed
by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 12 months, except as
provided.
This bill would would, among other things, require a city or county
to ministerially approve a parcel map for an urban lot split that meets
certain requirements, including that the parcel does not contain housing
that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts
rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or
very low income.
The bill would also extend the limit on the additional period that may
be provided by ordinance, as described above, from 12 months to 24
months, months and would make other conforming or nonsubstantive
changes.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead
agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the
completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it
proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on
the environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial
projects.
This bill, by establishing the ministerial review processes described
above, would thereby exempt the approval of projects subject to those
processes from CEQA.
By increasing the duties of local agencies with respect to land use
regulations, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill
address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair
and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

line 11 the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map is or was
line 12 pending in a court of competent jurisdiction, if the stay of the time

line 14 After service of the initial petition or complaint in the lawsuit upon
line 15 the local agency, the subdivider may apply to the local agency for
line 16 a stay pursuant to the local agency’s adopted procedures. Within
line 17 40 days after receiving the application, the local agency shall either
line 18 stay the time period for up to five years or deny the requested stay.
line 19 The local agency may, by ordinance, establish procedures for
line 20 reviewing the requests, including, but not limited to, notice and
line 21 hearing requirements, appeal procedures, and other administrative
line 22 requirements.
line 23 (d) The expiration of the approved or conditionally approved
line 24 tentative map shall terminate all proceedings and no final map or
line 25 parcel map of all or any portion of the real property included within
line 26 the tentative map shall be filed with the legislative body without
line 27 first processing a new tentative map. Once a timely filing is made,
line 28 subsequent actions of the local agency, including, but not limited
line 29 to, processing, approving, and recording, may lawfully occur after
line 30 the date of expiration of the tentative map. Delivery to the county
line 31 surveyor or city engineer shall be deemed a timely filing for
line 32 purposes of this section.
line 33 (e) Upon application of the subdivider filed before the expiration
line 34 of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the time
line 35 at which the map expires pursuant to subdivision (a) may be
line 36 extended by the legislative body or by an advisory agency
line 37 authorized to approve or conditionally approve tentative maps for
line 38 a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years. The period
line 39 of extension specified in this subdivision shall be in addition to
line 40 the period of time provided by subdivision (a). Before the

line 2 upon an application by the subdivider to extend that map, the map
line 3 shall automatically be extended for 60 days or until the application
line 4 for the extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied,
line 5 whichever occurs first. If the advisory agency denies a subdivider’s
line 6 application for an extension, the subdivider may appeal to the
line 7 legislative body within 15 days after the advisory agency has
line 8 denied the extension.
line 9 (f) For purposes of this section, a development moratorium
line 10 includes a water or sewer moratorium, or a water and sewer
line 11 moratorium, as well as other actions of public agencies which
line 12 regulate land use, development, or the provision of services to the
line 13 land, including the public agency with the authority to approve or
line 14 conditionally approve the tentative map, which thereafter prevents,
line 15 prohibits, or delays the approval of a final or parcel map. A
line 16 development moratorium shall also be deemed to exist for purposes
line 17 of this section for any period of time during which a condition
line 18 imposed by the city or county could not be satisfied because of
line 19 either of the following:
line 20 (1) The condition was one that, by its nature, necessitated action
line 21 by the city or county, and the city or county either did not take the
line 22 necessary action or by its own action or inaction was prevented or
line 23 delayed in taking the necessary action before expiration of the
line 24 tentative map.
line 25 (2) The condition necessitates acquisition of real property or
line 26 any interest in real property from a public agency, other than the
line 27 city or county that approved or conditionally approved the tentative
line 28 map, and that other public agency fails or refuses to convey the
line 29 property interest necessary to satisfy the condition. However,
line 30 nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require any public
line 31 agency to convey any interest in real property owned by it. A
line 32 development moratorium specified in this paragraph shall be
line 33 deemed to have been imposed either on the date of approval or
line 34 conditional approval of the tentative map, if evidence was included
line 35 in the public record that the public agency which owns or controls
line 36 the real property or any interest therein may refuse to convey that
line 37 property or interest, or on the date that the public agency which
line 38 owns or controls the real property or any interest therein receives
line 39 an offer by the subdivider to purchase that property or interest for
line 40 fair market value, whichever is later. A development moratorium
97
— 10 — SB 1120 216
line 1 specified in this paragraph shall extend the tentative map up to the
line 2 maximum period as set forth in subdivision (b), but not later than
line 3 January 1, 1992, so long as the public agency which owns or
line 4 controls the real property or any interest therein fails or refuses to
line 5 convey the necessary property interest, regardless of the reason
line 6 for the failure or refusal, except that the development moratorium
line 7 shall be deemed to terminate 60 days after the public agency has
line 8 officially made, and communicated to the subdivider, a written
line 9 offer or commitment binding on the agency to convey the necessary
line 10 property interest for a fair market value, paid in a reasonable time
line 11 and manner.
line 12 SEC. 4. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring access
line 13 to affordable housing is a matter of statewide concern and not a
line 14 municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of
line 15 the California Constitution. Therefore, Sections 1 and 2 of this act
line 16 adding Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 to the Government Code
line 17 and Section 3 of this act amending Section 66452.6 of the
line 18 Government Code apply to all cities, including charter cities.
line 19 SEC. 5. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
line 20 Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because
line 21 a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service
line 22 charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or
line 23 level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section
line 24 17556 of the Government Code.

Introduced by Senators Caballero and Rubio
(Principal coauthors: Senators Atkins, Lena Gonzalez, Hertzberg,

(Coauthors: Senators Hill Durazo, Galgiani, Hill, Hueso, and Roth)
February 21, 2020
An act to amend Sections 53339.6 and 65913.4 of, and to add Section
65852.23 to, the Government Code, relating to land use.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 1385, as amended, Caballero. Local planning: housing:
commercial zones.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt
a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development,
and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that
includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. Existing
law requires that the housing element include, among other things, an
inventory of land suitable and available for residential development. If
the inventory of sites does not identify adequate sites to accommodate
the need for groups of all households pursuant to specified law, existing
law requires the local government to rezone sites within specified time
periods and that this rezoning accommodate 100% of the need for
housing for very low and low-income households on sites that will be
zoned to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use
by right for specified developments.
96 218
This bill, the Neighborhood Homes Act, would deem a housing
development project, as defined, an authorized allowable use on a
neighborhood lot that is zoned for office or retail commercial use under
a local agency’s zoning code or general plan. The bill would require
the density for a housing development under these provisions to meet
or exceed the density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for
lower income households according to the type of local jurisdiction,
including a density of at least 20 units per acre for a suburban
jurisdiction. The bill would require the housing development to meet
all other local requirements for a neighborhood lot zoned for office or
retail commercial use, other than those that prohibit residential use,
or allow residential use at a lower density than that required by the
bill. The bill would provide that a housing development under these
provisions is subject to the local zoning, parking, and design ordinances,
and any design review or other public notice, comment, hearing, or
procedure applicable to a housing development in a zone with the
applicable density. The bill would provide that the local zoning
designation applies if the existing zoning designation for the parcel
allows residential use at a density greater than that required by these
provisions. The bill would require a local agency to require that a rental
of any unit created pursuant to the bill’s provisions be for a term longer
than 30 days. The bill would authorize a local agency that met its share
of the regional housing need, as specified, to exempt a neighborhood
lot from these provisions if the local agency concurrently reallocates
the lost residential density to other lots so that there is no net loss in
residential production capacity in the jurisdiction. The bill would specify
that it does not alter or affect the application of any housing,
environmental, or labor law applicable to a housing development
authorized by these provisions, including, but not limited to, the
California Coastal Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Housing Accountability Act, obligations to affirmatively further fair
housing, and any state or local affordability laws or tenant protection
laws. The bill would require an applicant of a housing development
under these provisions to provide notice of a pending application to
each commercial tenant of the neighborhood lot.
The Housing Accountability Act, which is part of the Planning and
Zoning Law, prohibits a local agency from disapproving, or conditioning
approval in a manner that renders infeasible, a housing development
project, as defined for purposes of the act, for very low, low-, or
moderate-income households or an emergency shelter unless the local
96
— 2 — SB 1385 219
agency makes specified written findings based on a preponderance of
the evidence in the record. That act states that it shall not be construed
to prohibit a local agency from requiring a housing development project
to comply with objective, quantifiable, written development standards,
conditions, and policies appropriate to, and consistent with, meeting
the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need, except as provided.
That act further provides that a housing development project or
emergency shelter shall be deemed consistent, compliant, and in
conformity with an applicable plan, program, policy, ordinance,
standard, requirement, or other similar provision if there is substantial
evidence that would allow a reasonable person to conclude that the
housing development project or emergency shelter is consistent,
compliant, or in conformity.
The bill would provide that for purposes of the Housing
Accountability Act, a proposed housing development project is
consistent, compliant, and in conformity with an applicable plan,
program, policy, ordinance, standard, requirement, or other similar
provision if the housing development project is consistent with the
standards applied to the parcel pursuant to specified provisions of the
Neighborhood Homes Act. Act and if none of the square footage in the
project is designated for hotel, motel, bed and breakfast inn, or other
transient lodging use, except for a residential hotel, as defined.
The Planning and Zoning Law, until January 1, 2026, also authorizes
a development proponent to submit an application for a multifamily
housing development that is subject to a streamlined, ministerial
approval process, as provided, and not subject to a conditional use
permit, if the development satisfies specified objective planning
standards, including a requirement that the site on which the
development is proposed is zoned for residential use or residential
mixed-use development, or has a general plan designation that allows
residential use or a mix of residential and nonresidential uses, with at
least 2⁄3 of the square footage of the development designated for
residential use. Under that law, the proposed development is also
required to be consistent with objective zoning standards, objective
subdivision standards, and objective design review standards in effect
at the time the development is submitted to the local government.
This bill would permit the development to be proposed for a site
zoned for office or retail commercial use if the site has no existing
commercial or residential tenants on 50% or more of its total square
footage for a period of at least 3 years prior to the submission of the
96
SB 1385 — 3 — 220
application. The bill would also provide that a project located on a
neighborhood lot, as defined, shall be deemed consistent with objective
zoning standards, objective design standards, and objective subdivision
standards if the project meets the standards applied to the parcel pursuant
to the Neighborhood Homes Act.
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 authorizes a local
agency to establish a community facilities district to finance various
services, including police protection, fire protection, recreation
programs, and library services, and provides for the annexation of
territory to an existing community facilities district.
This bill would authorize an applicant seeking to develop a housing
project on a neighborhood lot to request that a local agency establish a
Mello-Roos Community Facilities District, or to request that the
neighborhood lot be annexed to an existing community facilities district,
as specified, to finance improvements and services to the units proposed
to be developed. The bill would prohibit any further proceedings to be
taken to annex the territory, or to authorize that annexation in the future,
for a period of one year from the decision of the legislative body at the
hearing on the annexation if a specified number or groups of persons,
including 50% or more of the registered voters or 6 registered voters,
whichever is more, residing within the territory proposed for annexation
or proposed to be annexed in the future, file written protests with the
legislative body. The bill would prohibit a local agency from imposing
any development, impact, or mitigation fee, charge, or exaction in
connection with the approval of a development project to the extent
that those facilities and services are funded by a community facilities
district established pursuant to these provisions.
By imposing new duties on local agencies with regard to local
planning and zoning, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

line 29 (1) The development is a multifamily housing development that
line 30 contains two or more residential units.
line 31 (2) The development is located on a site that satisfies all of the
line 32 following:
line 33 (A) A site that is a legal parcel or parcels located in a city if,
line 34 and only if, the city boundaries include some portion of either an
line 35 urbanized area or urban cluster, as designated by the United States

line 38 cluster, as designated by the United States Census Bureau.
line 39 (B) A site in which at least 75 percent of the perimeter of the

line 5 (I) The site is zoned for residential use or residential mixed-use
line 6 development.
line 7 (II) The site has a general plan designation that allows residential

line 9 (III) The site is zoned for office or retail commercial use and
line 10 has no existing commercial or residential tenants on 50 percent or
line 11 more of its total square footage for a period of at least three years
line 12 prior to the submission of the application.
line 13 (ii) A development on a site described in clause (i) shall have
line 14 at least two-thirds of the square footage of the development
line 15 designated for residential use. Additional density, floor area, and
line 16 units, and any other concession, incentive, or waiver of
line 17 development standards granted pursuant to the Density Bonus Law
line 18 in Section 65915 shall be included in the square footage
line 19 calculation. The square footage of the development shall not
line 20 include underground space, such as basements or underground
line 21 parking garages.
line 22 (3) (A) The development proponent has committed to record,
line 23 prior to the issuance of the first building permit, a land use
line 24 restriction or covenant providing that any lower or moderate
line 25 income housing units required pursuant to subparagraph (B) of
line 26 paragraph (4) shall remain available at affordable housing costs
line 27 or rent to persons and families of lower or moderate income for
line 28 no less than the following periods of time:
line 29 (i) Fifty-five years for units that are rented.
line 30 (ii) Forty-five years for units that are owned.

line 34 (4) The development satisfies subparagraphs (A) and (B) below:
line 35 (A) Is located in a locality that the department has determined
line 36 is subject to this subparagraph on the basis that the number of units
line 37 that have been issued building permits, as shown on the most recent
line 38 production report received by the department, is less than the
line 39 locality’s share of the regional housing needs, by income category,
line 40 for that reporting period. A locality shall remain eligible under
96
— 10 — SB 1385 227
line 1 this subparagraph until the department’s determination for the next
line 2 reporting period.
line 3 (B) The development is subject to a requirement mandating a
line 4 minimum percentage of below market rate housing based on one
line 5 of the following:
line 6 (i) The locality did not submit its latest production report to the
line 7 department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that
line 8 production report reflects that there were fewer units of above
line 9 moderate-income housing issued building permits than were
line 10 required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that
line 11 reporting period. In addition, if the project contains more than 10
line 12 units of housing, the project does either of the following:
line 13 (I) The project dedicates a minimum of 10 percent of the total
line 14 number of units to housing affordable to households making at or
line 15 below 80 percent of the area median income. However, if the
line 16 locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater
line 17 than 10 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to
line 18 households making below 80 percent of the area median income,
line 19 that local ordinance applies.
line 20 (II) (ia) If the project is located within the San Francisco Bay
line 21 area, the project, in lieu of complying with subclause (I), dedicates
line 22 20 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to
line 23 households making below 120 percent of the area median income
line 24 with the average income of the units at or below 100 percent of
line 25 the area median income. However, a local ordinance adopted by
line 26 the locality applies if it requires greater than 20 percent of the units
line 27 be dedicated to housing affordable to households making at or
line 28 below 120 percent of the area median income, or requires that any
line 29 of the units be dedicated at a level deeper than 120 percent. In
line 30 order to comply with this subclause, the rent or sale price charged
line 31 for units that are dedicated to housing affordable to households
line 32 between 80 percent and 120 percent of the area median income
line 33 shall not exceed 30 percent of the gross income of the household.
line 34 (ib) For purposes of this subclause, “San Francisco Bay area”
line 35 means the entire area within the territorial boundaries of the
line 36 Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo,
line 37 Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma, and the City and County of San
line 38 Francisco.
line 39 (ii) The locality’s latest production report reflects that there
line 40 were fewer units of housing issued building permits affordable to
96
SB 1385 — 11 — 228
line 1 either very low income or low-income households by income
line 2 category than were required for the regional housing needs
line 3 assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking
line 4 approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units to
line 5 housing affordable to households making at or below 80 percent
line 6 of the area median income. However, if the locality has adopted
line 7 a local ordinance that requires that greater than 50 percent of the
line 8 units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making at

line 10 applies.
line 11 (iii) The locality did not submit its latest production report to

line 16 the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting
line 17 period, the project seeking approval may choose between utilizing
line 18 clause (i) or (ii).
line 19 (C) (i) A development proponent that uses a unit of affordable

line 23 65915, provided that the development proponent complies with
line 24 the applicable requirements in the state or local law.
line 25 (ii) A development proponent that uses a unit of affordable
line 26 housing to satisfy any other state or local affordability requirement
line 27 may also satisfy the requirements of subparagraph (B), provided

line 16 maximum unit allocation that may result in fewer units of housing
line 17 being permitted.
line 18 (B) In the event that objective zoning, general plan, subdivision,
line 19 or design review standards are mutually inconsistent, a
line 20 development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning
line 21 and subdivision standards pursuant to this subdivision if the
line 22 development is consistent with the standards set forth in the general
line 23 plan.
line 24 (C) The amendments to this subdivision made by the act adding
line 25 this subparagraph do not constitute a change in, but are declaratory
line 26 of, existing law.

SENATE BILL No. 1299
Introduced by Senator Portantino
(Coauthors: Senators Beall and Galgiani)
February 21, 2020
An act to add Chapter 2.9 (commencing with Section 50495) to Part
2 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 1299, as amended, Portantino. Housing development: incentives:
rezoning of idle retail sites.
Existing law establishes, among other housing programs, the
Workforce Housing Reward Program, which requires the Department
of Housing and Community Development to make local assistance
grants to cities, counties, and cities and counties that provide land use
approval to housing developments that are affordable to very low and
low-income households.
This bill, upon appropriation by the Legislature, would require the
department to administer a program to provide incentives in the form
of grants allocated as provided to local governments that rezone idle
sites used for a big box retailer or a commercial shopping center to
instead allow the development of workforce housing. The bill would
define various terms for these purposes. In order to be eligible for a
grant, the bill would require a local government, among other things,
to apply to the department for an allocation of grant funds and provide
documentation that it has met specified requirements. The bill would
make the allocation of these grants subject to appropriation by the
Legislature. The bill would require the department to issue a Notice of
97 245
Funding Availability for each calendar year in which funds are made
available for these purposes. The bill would require that the amount of
grant awarded to each eligible local government be equal to the average
amount of annual sales and use tax revenue generated by each idle site
identified in the local government’s application over the 7 years
immediately preceding the date of the local government’s application,
subject to certain modifications, and that the local government receive
this amount for each of the 7 years following the date of the local
government’s application.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2345
Introduced by Assembly Members Gonzalez and Chiu
February 18, 2020
An act to amend Section Sections 65400 and 65915 of the
Government Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2345, as amended, Gonzalez. Planning and zoning: density
bonuses: annual report: affordable housing.
Existing
(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt
a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that
includes, among other things, a housing element. That law requires the
planning agency of a city or county to provide by April 1 of each year
an annual report to, among other entities, the Department of Housing
and Community Development that includes, among other specified
information, the number of net new units of housing that have been
issued a completed entitlement, a building permit, or a certificate of
occupancy, thus far in the housing element cycle, as provided.
This bill would require that the annual report include specified
information regarding density bonuses granted in accordance with
specified law.
(2) Existing law, known as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city
or county city, county, or city and county to provide a developer that
proposes a housing development within the jurisdictional boundaries
97 250
of that city or county city, county, or city and county with a density
bonus and other incentives or concessions for the production of lower
income housing units, or for the donation of land within the
development, if the developer agrees to construct a specified percentage
of units for very low income, low-income, or moderate-income
households or qualifying residents and meets other requirements.
Existing law provides for the calculation of the amount of density bonus
for each type of housing development that qualifies under these
provisions. Existing law specifies the number of incentives or
concessions that an applicant can receive. Existing law specifies requires
that an applicant shall receive 3 incentives or concessions for projects
that include at least 30% of the total units for lower income households,
at least 15% for very low income households, or at least 30% for persons
or families of moderate income in a common interest development.
Existing law specifies requires that an applicant shall receive 4
incentives or concessions for projects in which 100% of the total units
are for lower income households, as specified.
This bill, instead, would authorize an applicant to receive 3 incentives
or concessions for projects that include at least 30% of the total units
for lower income households, at least 12% of the total units for very
low income households, or at least 30% for persons or families of
moderate income in a common interest development. The bill would
also authorize an applicant to receive 4 and 5 incentives or concessions,
as applicable, for projects in which greater percentages of the total units
are for lower income households, very low income households, or for
persons or families of moderate income in a common interest
development, as specified. The bill would also authorize an applicant
to receive 6 incentives or concessions for projects in which 100% of
the total units are for lower income households, as specified.
Existing law provides that a housing development that receives a
waiver from any maximum controls on density, as specified, shall not
be is not eligible for, and shall not receive, prohibits such a development
from receiving, a waiver or reduction of development standards.
This bill, instead, would provide that a housing development that
receives a waiver from any maximum controls on density, shall only
be is only eligible for a specified waiver or reduction of development
standards, unless the city, county, or city and county agrees to additional
waivers or reductions of development standards.
Existing law specifies that the density bonus, or the amount of the
density increase over the otherwise allowable gross residential density,
97
— 2 — AB 2345 251
to which an applicant is entitled varies according to the amount by
which the percentage of affordable housing units in a development
exceeds a specified base percentage for units for lower income
households, very low income households, senior citizens, persons and
families of moderate income, transitional foster youth, or lower income
students, as specified. Existing law authorizes a maximum density bonus
of 35% for a housing development in which 20% or more of the total
units are for lower income households. Existing law authorizes a
maximum density bonus of 35% for a housing development in which
11% or more of the total units are for very low income households.
Existing law authorizes a maximum density bonus of 35% for housing
developments in which 40% or more of the total units are for persons
and families of moderate income.
This bill would include a maximum density bonus for a housing
development in which 16% of the total units are for lower income
households and would increase the maximum density bonus, to up to
50%, for construction of a housing development in which a greater
percentage than that described above of total units are for lower income
households, very low income households, and persons and families of
moderate income, as specified.
By adding to the duties of local planning officials with respect to the
award of density bonuses, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
Existing law specifies that,
(3) Existing law prohibits, except as provided, upon the request of a
developer, a city, county, or city and county shall not require from
requiring a vehicular parking ratio for a development that qualifies for
a density bonus that exceeds specified amounts of onsite parking per
bedroom. Existing law also specifies the parking ratios applicable to a
development that include a maximum percentage of low-income or
very low income units, that is located within 1⁄2 mile of a transit stop,
and that provides unobstructed access to the transit stop from the
development.
This bill would decrease the maximum ratio of vehicular parking for
developments with 2 to 3 bedrooms, as specified. This bill would define
the term “natural or constructed impediments” for purposes of
determining whether a development has unobstructed access to a transit
stop. The bill would specify require that the measurement of the distance
of a development from a transit stop shall be measured from any point
on the property of the proposed development to any point on the property
97
AB 2345 — 3 — 252
where the transit stop is located. The bill would authorize a developer
to request that a city, county, or city and county not impose vehicular
parking standards if the development meets specified requirements,
affordability requirements and either (A) provides unobstructed access
to a major transit stop, as defined, or (B) is a for-rent housing
development for individuals who are 62 years of age or older, and older
that will have either paratransit service or unobstructed access to a fixed
bus route, as specified.
(4) Existing law requires a city, county, or city and county to adopt
an ordinance that specifies how it will implement the Density Bonus
Law, but provides that failure to adopt an ordinance does not relieve
a city, county, or city and county from complying with that law. Existing
law also authorizes a city, county, or city and county, if permitted by
local ordinance, to grant a density bonus greater than what is described
in the Density Bonus Law or to grant a proportionately lower density
bonus than what is required by the Density Bonus Law for developments
that do not meet the requirements of that law.
This bill, notwithstanding any other law, would provide that a city,
county, or city and county that has adopted an ordinance pursuant to
the Density Bonus Law that, as of the date immediately prior to the
effective date of bill, provides for density bonuses that exceed the density
bonuses required by the Density Bonus Law is not required to amend
or otherwise update its ordinance to comply with the amendments made
by this bill.
(5) By adding to the duties of local planning officials with respect
to preparing and submitting the above-described annual report to the
Department of Housing and Community Development and awarding
density bonuses, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.

line 16 enrolled full time at an institution of higher education accredited
line 17 by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges or the
line 18 Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. In
line 19 order to be eligible under this subclause, the developer shall, as a

line 4 (III) The rent provided in the applicable units of the development
line 5 for lower income students shall be calculated at 30 percent of 65
line 6 percent of the area median income for a single-room occupancy
line 7 unit type.
line 8 (IV) The development will provide priority for the applicable
line 9 affordable units for lower income students experiencing
line 10 homelessness. A homeless service provider, as defined in paragraph
line 11 (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 103577 of the Health and Safety
line 12 Code, or institution of higher education that has knowledge of a
line 13 person’s homeless status may verify a person’s status as homeless

line 15 (ii) For purposes of calculating a density bonus granted pursuant
line 16 to this subparagraph, the term “unit” as used in this section means
line 17 one rental bed and its pro rata share of associated common area

line 26 (2) For purposes of calculating the amount of the density bonus
line 27 pursuant to subdivision (f), an applicant who requests a density
line 28 bonus pursuant to this subdivision shall elect whether the bonus
line 29 shall be awarded on the basis of subparagraph (A), (B), (C), (D),
line 30 (E), (F), or (G) of paragraph (1).
line 31 (3) For the purposes of this section, “total units,” “total dwelling
line 32 units,” or “total rental beds” does not include units added by a
line 33 density bonus awarded pursuant to this section or any local law
line 34 granting a greater density bonus.
line 35 (c) (1) (A) An applicant shall agree to, and the city, county,
line 36 or city and county shall ensure, the continued affordability of all
line 37 very low and low-income rental units that qualified the applicant
line 38 for the award of the density bonus for 55 years or a longer period
line 39 of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing
97
AB 2345 — 11 — 260

line 6 (ii) For housing developments meeting the criteria of
line 7 subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b), rents for all

line 9 bonus units, shall be as follows:
line 10 (I) The rent for at least 20 percent of the units in the
line 11 development shall be set at an affordable rent, as defined in Section
line 12 50053 of the Health and Safety Code.

line 14 be set at an amount consistent with the maximum rent levels for
line 15 a housing development that receives an allocation of state or federal
line 16 low-income housing tax credits from the California Tax Credit
line 17 Allocation Committee.
line 18 (2) An applicant shall agree to, and the city, county, or city and
line 19 county shall ensure that, the initial occupant of all for-sale units
line 20 that qualified the applicant for the award of the density bonus are
line 21 persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as
line 22 required, and that the units are offered at an affordable housing
line 23 cost, as that cost is defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and
line 24 Safety Code. The local government shall enforce an equity sharing
line 25 agreement, unless it is in conflict with the requirements of another
line 26 public funding source or law. The following apply to the equity
line 27 sharing agreement:
line 28 (A) Upon resale, the seller of the unit shall retain the value of
line 29 any improvements, the downpayment, and the seller’s proportionate
line 30 share of appreciation. The local government shall recapture any
line 31 initial subsidy, as defined in subparagraph (B), and its proportionate
line 32 share of appreciation, as defined in subparagraph (C), which
line 33 amount shall be used within five years for any of the purposes
line 34 described in subdivision (e) of Section 33334.2 of the Health and
line 35 Safety Code that promote home ownership.
line 36 (B) For purposes of this subdivision, the local government’s
line 37 initial subsidy shall be equal to the fair market value of the home
line 38 at the time of initial sale minus the initial sale price to the
line 39 moderate-income household, plus the amount of any downpayment
line 40 assistance or mortgage assistance. If upon resale the market value
97
— 12 — AB 2345 261
line 1 is lower than the initial market value, then the value at the time of
line 2 the resale shall be used as the initial market value.
line 3 (C) For purposes of this subdivision, the local government’s
line 4 proportionate share of appreciation shall be equal to the ratio of
line 5 the local government’s initial subsidy to the fair market value of
line 6 the home at the time of initial sale.
line 7 (3) (A) An applicant shall be ineligible for a density bonus or
line 8 any other incentives or concessions under this section if the housing
line 9 development is proposed on any property that includes a parcel or
line 10 parcels on which rental dwelling units are or, if the dwelling units
line 11 have been vacated or demolished in the five-year period preceding
line 12 the application, have been subject to a recorded covenant,
line 13 ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons
line 14 and families of lower or very low income; subject to any other
line 15 form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise
line 16 of its police power; or occupied by lower or very low income
line 17 households, unless the proposed housing development replaces
line 18 those units, and either of the following applies:
line 19 (i) The proposed housing development, inclusive of the units
line 20 replaced pursuant to this paragraph, contains affordable units at
line 21 the percentages set forth in subdivision (b).
line 22 (ii) Each unit in the development, exclusive of a manager’s unit
line 23 or units, is affordable to, and occupied by, either a lower or very
line 24 low income household.
line 25 (B) For the purposes of this paragraph, “replace” shall mean
line 26 either of the following:
line 27 (i) If any dwelling units described in subparagraph (A) are
line 28 occupied on the date of application, the proposed housing
line 29 development shall provide at least the same number of units of
line 30 equivalent size to be made available at affordable rent or affordable
line 31 housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same
line 32 or lower income category as those households in occupancy. If
line 33 the income category of the household in occupancy is not known,
line 34 it shall be rebuttably presumed that lower income renter households
line 35 occupied these units in the same proportion of lower income renter
line 36 households to all renter households within the jurisdiction, as
line 37 determined by the most recently available data from the United
line 38 States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s
line 39 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy database. For
line 40 unoccupied dwelling units described in subparagraph (A) in a
97
AB 2345 — 13 — 262
line 1 development with occupied units, the proposed housing
line 2 development shall provide units of equivalent size to be made
line 3 available at affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and
line 4 occupied by, persons and families in the same or lower income
line 5 category as the last household in occupancy. If the income category
line 6 of the last household in occupancy is not known, it shall be
line 7 rebuttably presumed that lower income renter households occupied
line 8 these units in the same proportion of lower income renter
line 9 households to all renter households within the jurisdiction, as
line 10 determined by the most recently available data from the United
line 11 States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s
line 12 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy database. All
line 13 replacement calculations resulting in fractional units shall be
line 14 rounded up to the next whole number. If the replacement units will
line 15 be rental dwelling units, these units shall be subject to a recorded
line 16 affordability restriction for at least 55 years. If the proposed
line 17 development is for-sale units, the units replaced shall be subject
line 18 to paragraph (2).
line 19 (ii) If all dwelling units described in subparagraph (A) have
line 20 been vacated or demolished within the five-year period preceding
line 21 the application, the proposed housing development shall provide
line 22 at least the same number of units of equivalent size as existed at
line 23 the highpoint of those units in the five-year period preceding the
line 24 application to be made available at affordable rent or affordable
line 25 housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families in the same
line 26 or lower income category as those persons and families in
line 27 occupancy at that time, if known. If the incomes of the persons
line 28 and families in occupancy at the highpoint is not known, it shall
line 29 be rebuttably presumed that low-income and very low income
line 30 renter households occupied these units in the same proportion of
line 31 low-income and very low income renter households to all renter
line 32 households within the jurisdiction, as determined by the most
line 33 recently available data from the United States Department of
line 34 Housing and Urban Development’s Comprehensive Housing
line 35 Affordability Strategy database. All replacement calculations
line 36 resulting in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole
line 37 number. If the replacement units will be rental dwelling units,
line 38 these units shall be subject to a recorded affordability restriction
line 39 for at least 55 years. If the proposed development is for-sale units,
line 40 the units replaced shall be subject to paragraph (2).
97
— 14 — AB 2345 263
line 1 (C) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B), for any dwelling unit
line 2 described in subparagraph (A) that is or was, within the five-year
line 3 period preceding the application, subject to a form of rent or price
line 4 control through a local government’s valid exercise of its police
line 5 power and that is or was occupied by persons or families above
line 6 lower income, the city, county, or city and county may do either
line 7 of the following:
line 8 (i) Require that the replacement units be made available at
line 9 affordable rent or affordable housing cost to, and occupied by,
line 10 low-income persons or families. If the replacement units will be
line 11 rental dwelling units, these units shall be subject to a recorded
line 12 affordability restriction for at least 55 years. If the proposed
line 13 development is for-sale units, the units replaced shall be subject
line 14 to paragraph (2).
line 15 (ii) Require that the units be replaced in compliance with the
line 16 jurisdiction’s rent or price control ordinance, provided that each
line 17 unit described in subparagraph (A) is replaced. Unless otherwise
line 18 required by the jurisdiction’s rent or price control ordinance, these
line 19 units shall not be subject to a recorded affordability restriction.
line 20 (D) For purposes of this paragraph, “equivalent size” means
line 21 that the replacement units contain at least the same total number
line 22 of bedrooms as the units being replaced.
line 23 (E) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to an applicant seeking a
line 24 density bonus for a proposed housing development if the
line 25 applicant’s application was submitted to, or processed by, a city,
line 26 county, or city and county before January 1, 2015.
line 27 (d) (1) An applicant for a density bonus pursuant to subdivision
line 28 (b) may submit to a city, county, or city and county a proposal for
line 29 the specific incentives or concessions that the applicant requests
line 30 pursuant to this section, and may request a meeting with the city,
line 31 county, or city and county. The city, county, or city and county
line 32 shall grant the concession or incentive requested by the applicant
line 33 unless the city, county, or city and county makes a written finding,
line 34 based upon substantial evidence, of any of the following:
line 35 (A) The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable
line 36 and actual cost reductions, consistent with subdivision (k), to
line 37 provide for affordable housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5
line 38 of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units
line 39 to be set as specified in subdivision (c).
97
AB 2345 — 15 — 264
line 1 (B) The concession or incentive would have a specific, adverse
line 2 impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section
line 3 65589.5, upon public health and safety or the physical environment
line 4 or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of
line 5 Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to
line 6 satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact without
line 7 rendering the development unaffordable to low-income and
line 8 moderate-income households.
line 9 (C) The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or
line 10 federal law.
line 11 (2) The applicant shall receive the following number of
line 12 incentives or concessions:
line 13 (A) One incentive or concession for projects that include at least
line 14 10 percent of the total units for lower income households, at least
line 15 5 percent for very low income households, or at least 10 percent
line 16 for persons and families of moderate income in a common interest
line 17 development.
line 18 (B) Two incentives or concessions for projects that include at
line 19 least 20 percent of the total units for lower income households, at
line 20 least 10 percent for very low income households, or at least 20
line 21 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common
line 22 interest development.
line 23 (C) Three incentives or concessions for projects that include at
line 24 least 30 percent of the total units for lower income households, at
line 25 least 12 percent for very low income households, or at least 30
line 26 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common
line 27 interest development.
line 28 (D) Four incentives or concessions for projects that include at
line 29 least 31 percent of the total units for lower income households, at
line 30 least 13 percent for very low income households, or at least 31
line 31 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common
line 32 interest development.
line 33 (E) Five incentives or concessions for projects that include at
line 34 least 33 percent of the total units for lower income households, at
line 35 least 15 percent for very low income households, or at least 33
line 36 percent for persons and families of moderate income in a common
line 37 interest development.
line 38 (F) Six incentives or concessions for projects meeting the criteria
line 39 of subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). If the
line 40 project is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop, as
97
— 16 — AB 2345 265
line 1 defined in subdivision (b) of Section 21155 of the Public Resources
line 2 Code, the applicant shall also receive a height increase of up to
line 3 three additional stories, or 33 feet.
line 4 (3) The applicant may initiate judicial proceedings if the city,
line 5 county, or city and county refuses to grant a requested density
line 6 bonus, incentive, or concession. If a court finds that the refusal to
line 7 grant a requested density bonus, incentive, or concession is in
line 8 violation of this section, the court shall award the plaintiff
line 9 reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit. Nothing in this
line 10 subdivision shall be interpreted to require a local government to
line 11 grant an incentive or concession that has a specific, adverse impact,
line 12 as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5,
line 13 upon health, safety, or the physical environment, and for which
line 14 there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
line 15 specific adverse impact. Nothing in this subdivision shall be
line 16 interpreted to require a local government to grant an incentive or
line 17 concession that would have an adverse impact on any real property
line 18 that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.
line 19 The city, county, or city and county shall establish procedures for
line 20 carrying out this section that shall include legislative body approval
line 21 of the means of compliance with this section.
line 22 (4) The city, county, or city and county shall bear the burden
line 23 of proof for the denial of a requested concession or incentive.
line 24 (e) (1) In no case may a city, county, or city and county apply
line 25 any development standard that will have the effect of physically
line 26 precluding the construction of a development meeting the criteria
line 27 of subdivision (b) at the densities or with the concessions or
line 28 incentives permitted by this section. Subject to paragraph (3), an
line 29 applicant may submit to a city, county, or city and county a
line 30 proposal for the waiver or reduction of development standards that
line 31 will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a
line 32 development meeting the criteria of subdivision (b) at the densities
line 33 or with the concessions or incentives permitted under this section,
line 34 and may request a meeting with the city, county, or city and county.
line 35 If a court finds that the refusal to grant a waiver or reduction of
line 36 development standards is in violation of this section, the court
line 37 shall award the plaintiff reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of
line 38 suit. Nothing in this subdivision shall be interpreted to require a
line 39 local government to waive or reduce development standards if the
line 40 waiver or reduction would have a specific, adverse impact, as
97
AB 2345 — 17 — 266
line 1 defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5,
line 2 upon health, safety, or the physical environment, and for which
line 3 there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the
line 4 specific adverse impact. Nothing in this subdivision shall be
line 5 interpreted to require a local government to waive or reduce
line 6 development standards that would have an adverse impact on any
line 7 real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical
line 8 Resources, or to grant any waiver or reduction that would be
line 9 contrary to state or federal law.
line 10 (2) A proposal for the waiver or reduction of development
line 11 standards pursuant to this subdivision shall neither reduce nor
line 12 increase the number of incentives or concessions to which the
line 13 applicant is entitled pursuant to subdivision (d).
line 14 (3) A housing development that receives a waiver from any
line 15 maximum controls on density pursuant to clause (ii) of
line 16 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (f) shall only be
line 17 eligible for a waiver or reduction of development standards as
line 18 provided in subparagraph (F) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (d)
line 19 and clause (ii) of subparagraph (D) of paragraph (3) of subdivision
line 20 (f), unless the city, county, or city and county agrees to additional
line 21 waivers or reductions of development standards.
line 22 (f) For the purposes of this chapter, “density bonus” means a
line 23 density increase over the otherwise maximum allowable gross
line 24 residential density as of the date of application by the applicant to
line 25 the city, county, or city and county, or, if elected by the applicant,
line 26 a lesser percentage of density increase, including, but not limited
line 27 to, no increase in density. The amount of density increase to which
line 28 the applicant is entitled shall vary according to the amount by
line 29 which the percentage of affordable housing units exceeds the
line 30 percentage established in subdivision (b).
line 31 (1) For housing developments meeting the criteria of

line 18 application, except that the local government may subject the
line 19 proposed development to subsequent design review to the extent
line 20 authorized by subdivision (i) of Section 65583.2 if the design is
line 21 not reviewed by the local government before the time of transfer.
line 22 (E) The transferred land and the affordable units shall be subject

line 40 existing multifamily dwelling, as defined in subdivision (d) of
97
— 24 — AB 2345 273
line 1 Section 65863.4, where the result of the rehabilitation would be a
line 2 net increase in available residential units. For the purpose of
line 3 calculating a density bonus, the residential units shall be on
line 4 contiguous sites that are the subject of one development
line 5 application, but do not have to be based upon individual
line 6 subdivision maps or parcels. The density bonus shall be permitted
line 7 in geographic areas of the housing development other than the
line 8 areas where the units for the lower income households are located.
line 9 (j) (1) The granting of a concession or incentive shall not require
line 10 or be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan
line 11 amendment, local coastal plan amendment, zoning change, study,
line 12 or other discretionary approval. For purposes of this subdivision,
line 13 “study” does not include reasonable documentation to establish
line 14 eligibility for the concession or incentive or to demonstrate that
line 15 the incentive or concession meets the definition set forth in
line 16 subdivision (k). This provision is declaratory of existing law.
line 17 (2) Except as provided in subdivisions (d) and (e), the granting
line 18 of a density bonus shall not require or be interpreted to require the

line 28 and Safety Code, including, but not limited to, a reduction in
line 29 setback and square footage requirements and in the ratio of
line 30 vehicular parking spaces that would otherwise be required that
line 31 results in identifiable and actual cost reductions, to provide for
line 32 affordable housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the
line 33 Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units to be
line 34 set as specified in subdivision (c).
line 35 (2) Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the
line 36 housing project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses
line 37 will reduce the cost of the housing development and if the

line 5 Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units to be set as specified
line 6 in subdivision (c).
line 7 (l) Subdivision (k) does not limit or require the provision of
line 8 direct financial incentives for the housing development, including

line 10 and county, or the waiver of fees or dedication requirements.
line 11 (m) This section does not supersede or in any way alter or lessen
line 12 the effect or application of the California Coastal Act of 1976
line 13 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public
line 14 Resources Code). Any density bonus, concessions, incentives,
line 15 waivers or reductions of development standards, and parking ratios
line 16 to which the applicant is entitled under this section shall be
line 17 permitted in a manner that is consistent with this section and
line 18 Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public
line 19 Resources Code.
line 20 (n) If permitted by local ordinance, nothing in this section shall
line 21 be construed to prohibit a city, county, or city and county from
line 22 granting a density bonus greater than what is described in this
line 23 section for a development that meets the requirements of this
line 24 section or from granting a proportionately lower density bonus
line 25 than what is required by this section for developments that do not
line 26 meet the requirements of this section.
line 27 (o) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall
line 28 apply:
line 29 (1) “Development standard” includes a site or construction

line 25 county, or city and county shall not impose a vehicular parking
line 26 ratio, inclusive of handicapped and guest parking, that exceeds 0.5
line 27 spaces per unit.
line 28 (B) For purposes of this subdivision, a development shall have
line 29 unobstructed access to a major transit stop if a resident is able to
line 30 access the major transit stop without encountering natural or
line 31 constructed impediments. For purposes of this subparagraph,
line 32 “natural or constructed impediments” includes, but is not limited
line 33 to, freeways, rivers, mountains, and bodies of water, but does not
line 34 include residential structures, shopping centers, parking lots, or
line 35 rails used for transit.
line 36 (C) The distance of a development described in subparagraph

line 32 route service that operates at least eight times per day.
line 33 (5) If the total number of parking spaces required for a
line 34 development is other than a whole number, the number shall be
line 35 rounded up to the next whole number. For purposes of this
line 36 subdivision, a development may provide onsite parking through
line 37 tandem parking or uncovered parking, but not through onstreet
line 38 parking.
line 39 (6) This subdivision shall apply to a development that meets
line 40 the requirements of subdivisions (b) and (c), but only at the request
97
— 28 — AB 2345 277
line 1 of the applicant. An applicant may request parking incentives or
line 2 concessions beyond those provided in this subdivision pursuant
line 3 to subdivision (d).
line 4 (7) This subdivision does not preclude a city, county, or city
line 5 and county from reducing or eliminating a parking requirement
line 6 for development projects of any type in any location.
line 7 (8) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3), if a city, county,
line 8 city and county, or an independent consultant has conducted an
line 9 areawide or jurisdictionwide parking study in the last seven years,
line 10 then the city, county, or city and county may impose a higher
line 11 vehicular parking ratio not to exceed the ratio described in
line 12 paragraph (1), based upon substantial evidence found in the parking
line 13 study, that includes, but is not limited to, an analysis of parking
line 14 availability, differing levels of transit access, walkability access
line 15 to transit services, the potential for shared parking, the effect of
line 16 parking requirements on the cost of market-rate and subsidized
line 17 developments, and the lower rates of car ownership for low-income
line 18 and very low income individuals, including seniors and special
line 19 needs individuals. The city, county, or city and county shall pay

The Library
Stabilization
Fund Act
COVID-19 is causing significant financial losses for libraries,
resulting in disruption to core library services, thousands
of staff furloughs and layoffs across the country. Fiscal
stabilization is needed to preserve crucial library services for
students, jobseekers, rural and Tribal residents, and small
businesses—now and in the recovery to come.
The Library Stabilization Fund Act would establish a $2 billion
fund to address financial losses and bolster library services,
with priority to the hardest-hit communities. Delivered through
the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS),
the funding would provide:
Q $1.7 billion to be distributed to local libraries through state
library agencies based on state population, with a minimum
of $10 million to each state
Q $45 million in formula grants to Tribal libraries
Q $200 million in competitive grants to strengthen library
services to communities affected by COVID-19
Q $40 million for IMLS to administer grants and conduct
research and data collection related to the impacts of COVID-19
Funds would keep nearly 370,000 library workers on the job, defray costs related to safe re-opening,
and support a range of library services to millions of patrons, including:
Q High-speed internet access and digital literacy training
Q Resources to facilitate remote learning for educators and students of all ages
Q Tools and guidance for entrepreneurs to research emerging markets, design business plans and launch startups
Q Employment assistance, from resume writing to job search to GED certification
Q Support in applying for veteran’s benefits, unemployment assistance, medical coverage and other government
services
Q Programs that foster early literacy, entrepreneurship and lifelong learning
The legislation was introduced on July 2 by Sen. Jack Reed (RI) and Rep. Andy Levin (MI-9).
Veterans connect to the VA telehealth portal
at Pottsboro (Texas) Area Library.
Librarians distribute unemployment forms curbside at branches of the Miami-Dade Public Library System.
Librarians manufacture
PPE in Los Angeles Public
Library’s Octavia Lab.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Adopt Ordinance Nos. 4214, 4212, 4215, 4216, and 4213, approving Zoning Text Amendment
(ZTA) No. 19-005 and Municipal Code Amendment adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes)
Approved for introduction July 7, 2020, Vote: 7-0
Statement of Issue:
Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005 would modify four chapters of the Huntington Beach Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO), and create a new chapter of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code
(HBMC) that,in combination, would establish a set of regulations for Group Homes, Sober Living
Homes, and Residential Care Facilities affecting Residential Districts Citywide. The four chapters of
the HBZSO to be amended are Chapter 203 (Definitions), Chapter 204 (Use Classifications), Chapter
210 (Residential Districts), and Chapter 230 (Site Standards) - Section 230.28 Group Homes. The
chapter of the HBMC to be added is Chapter 5.110 Group Homes. The Planning Commission and
staff recommend approval of the request.
Financial Impact:
Should the City Council vote to adopt ZTA No. 19-005 and amendment to the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes), the proposed regulations will require the
development of application forms and review and approval processes to accommodate the
dispensation of Special Use Permits by the Community Development Department and Operator’s
Permits by the Finance Department.
Recommended Action:
A) Find that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is categorically
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) (General
Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
amendment to the HBZSO will have a significant effect on the environment (Attachment No. 1); and ,
B) Approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005 with findings (Attachment No. 1), approve
amendment to Huntington Beach Municipal Code adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes), and adopt:

Analysis:
A.PROJECT PROPOSAL
Applicant: City of Huntington Beach
Property Owner: Multiple Various Residential Property Owners
Location: Residential Zoning Districts Citywide
The Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) proposes to amend four chapters of the Huntington Beach Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO), and create a new chapter of the Huntington Beach Municipal
Code (HBMC) that, in combination, establish a set of regulations for Group Homes, Sober Living
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 2 of 10

File #:20-1744 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Code (HBMC) that, in combination, establish a set of regulations for Group Homes, Sober Living
Homes, and Residential Care Facilities affecting Residential Districts Citywide. The four chapters of
the HBZSO to be amended are Chapter 203 (Definitions), Chapter 204 (Use Classifications), Chapter
210 (Residential Districts), and Chapter 230 (Site Standards) - Section 230.28 Group Homes. The
chapter of the HBMC to be added is Chapter 5.110 Group Homes.
Background:
At the September 16, 2019, City Council meeting by a vote of 7-0, the City Council directed the City Attorney
to return to Council with one or more Ordinance(s) that regulate “Group Homes and Sober Living Homes,”
with an appropriate balance between the interests of the City and its residents to preserve residential
neighborhood character and the need to provide reasonable accommodation for the disabled, including those
recovering from chemical addiction, to reside in normalized residential environments.
Like many California cities, the City of Huntington Beach has experienced a rise in the number of Group
Homes within single-family residential neighborhoods. A type of Group Home, commonly referred to as Sober
Living Homes, are single-family homes where many occupants reside while recovering from alcohol and drug
addiction. These Sober Living Homes provide a place to live in “a residential setting” between detox and the
resident’s future housing. These homes are not required to be licensed by the State, and are not allowed to
provide services that State licensed alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities provide.
The proliferation of Sober Living Homes in Huntington Beach has resulted in a substantial increase in
complaints generated by neighbors and community members regarding the operation of these uses. Reported
impacts of sober living homes include excessive amounts of noise, loitering, second-hand smoke, trash and
debris, and increased parking demands within residential neighborhoods. Of particular concern are complaints
regarding the over-concentration of sober living homes, and when in close proximity to one another, these uses
may change the character of a residential neighborhood to a more institutional environment.
The proposed amendments are intended to preserve the residential character of single-family residential
neighborhoods and to further the purposes of State law, by, among other things: (1) ensuring that Group Homes
are actually entitled to the special accommodation and/or additional accommodation provided under the
Huntington Beach Municipal Code and not simply skirting the City’s land use regulations; (2) limiting the
secondary impacts of Group Homes by reducing noise and traffic, preserving safety and providing adequate on-
street parking; (3) providing an accommodation for the disabled that is reasonable and actually bears some
resemblance to the opportunities afforded non-disabled individuals to use and enjoy a dwelling unit in a single-
family neighborhood; and (4) to provide comfortable living environments that will enhance the opportunity for
the disabled and for recovering addicts to be successful in their programs. The proposed regulations will require
Group Homes, including Sober Living Homes, to obtain a ministerial permit to operate in a manner consistent
with the nature of the single-family residential neighborhoods in which they are located.
The Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) and California Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA), prohibits cities
from enforcing zoning laws that have the effect of discriminating against the disabled with regard to housing
opportunities. A disabled person is defined by The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as one that has: 1) A
physical or mental impairment that affects one or more major life activities; 2) A history of recovery from
alcoholism or illegal use of drugs; or 3) Has been regarded as having such impairment. The ADA protects
persons in recovery from chemical addiction, even if they are no longer engaged in the illegal use of drugs and
otherwise meet the definitions in the statute.
Additionally, pursuant to the California Government and Welfare and Institutions Codes, and the Lanterman
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 3 of 10
powered by Legistar™283
File #:20-1744 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Additionally, pursuant to the California Government and Welfare and Institutions Codes, and the Lanterman
Developmental Disabilities and Services Act (Lanterman Act), people with developmental disabilities have the
right to obtain the services and support they need to live like people without disabilities. A core purpose of this
State law is to provide a broader range of housing options to the disabled, and to free the disabled to the extent
possible from institutional style living. As such, a disabled person is afforded an equal opportunity to use and
enjoy a residential dwelling. Likewise, pursuant to the California FEHA, individuals with physical and mental
disabilities have the right under State law to rent, lease, or buy housing accommodations free from
discrimination due to a disability.
State law requires cities to treat certain state-licensed residential care facilities that provide care, services,
and/or treatment serving six or fewer disabled tenants as a single-family residential use. (As such, and
consistent with State law, the existing HBZSO provides that both “Residential Alcohol Recovery, Limited” and
“Residential Care, Limited” uses that house six (6) or fewer individuals are permitted by right in the City’s
Residential districts.)
The Health and Safety Code does not regulate supportive living facilities that provide no treatment, and the
HBZSO does not currently classify such a use specifically, which has encumbered the City’s ability to
effectively mitigate impacts from such uses.
Finally, the California Constitution and Huntington Beach Charter grants broad police powers to Huntington
Beach to preserve the residential characteristics or its various types of residential zones.
It is the intent of the City Council to develop an Ordinance that strikes an appropriate balance between the
interests of the City and its residents to preserve residential neighborhood character, and the need to provide
housing accommodations to disabled persons, including those in recovery from chemical addiction to reside in
normalized residential environments that promote effective recovery. State and Federal laws require the City to
make reasonable accommodations in its zoning laws when such accommodation is reasonably necessary to
afford the disabled the opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. The proposed Ordinance will apply to all
districts Citywide, but affect only residential districts.
B.PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

These definitions work in concert with the other elements of the proposed ZTA to more clearly define specific
uses as they pertain to the regulation of Group Homes in Huntington Beach.
2.CHAPTER 204 USE CLASSIFICATIONS
To provide for the regulation of Group Homes, including Sober Living Homes, this ZTA will establish four new
use classifications in Chapter 204 Use Classifications. Staff is summarizing them below in order to introduce
and differentiate each classification.

residency is per a court order or similar directive. Referral facilities must follow the permit procedure
according to the base use classification, and are not permitted in the RL zone.
3.CHAPTER 210 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
In addition to establishing the new Definitions and Use Classifications identified above, this ZTA will also
amend Chapter 210 Residential Districts to provide reference to land use controls and new requirements for
Group Homes in Residential Districts (Legislative Drafts attached for reference). These changes are
summarized below.
a.Add “Group Homes Including Sober Living Homes” to Land Use Controls matrix and create
Additional Provision L-8:
o A Group Home (GH) or Sober Living Home (SLH) with six (6) or fewer residents
§In all Residential districts, requires a ministerial Special Use Permit (SUP) from the
Community Development Director; and
§Any SLH shall be one thousand (1000) feet from any other property that contains a GH,

4.CHAPTER 230.28 GROUP HOMES
This ZTA will also add a new section to Chapter 230 Site Standards, Article I. Residential Districts. Titled
Chapter 230.28 Group Homes, the appropriate placement for new regulations that will be applicable to Group
Homes in Residential Districts.
Special Use Permit (SUP)
Chapter 230.28 will identify that a Group Home that may otherwise be considered an unpermitted use may
locate in a Residential District subject to the approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) by the Community
Development Director, provided that the Group Home is in compliance with applicable regulations. Should the
Ordinance be adopted, all existing Group Homes as well as any new proposed Group Home will be required to
obtain a SUP. The SUP is ministerial and may be granted when a complete application is submitted to the
Community Development Director that provides the following:
a.The name, address, phone number, and driver’s license number of the owner, operator, and
house manager;
b.A copy of the Group Home rules and regulations;
c.Written intake procedures;
d.The relapse policy (if applicable, depending on the type of Group Home);
e.An affirmation by the owner/operator that only residents (other than the house manager) who are
disabled as defined by State and Federal law shall reside at the Group Home;
f.Blank copies of all forms that residents and potential residents are required to complete; and
g.A fee for the cost of processing the application as set by resolution by the City Council.
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 7 of 10
powered by Legistar™287
File #:20-1744 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Only basic information will be required to submit an application for a SUP, and the internal procedures and
forms will be provided to applicants. Compliance with the application requirements should not present any
significant hardship, since the requirements are in line with the routine capabilities expected from a
professionally operated Group Home.
In general, the operational requirements to maintain a SUP include the following: no more than seven (7)
tenants may reside in a Group Home, one of which must be a house manager. If the dwelling unit has a
secondary accessory unit, occupants of both units will be combined to determine whether or not the limit of six
(6) occupants has been exceeded. A Group Home shall not be located in an accessory secondary unit unless the
primary dwelling unit is used for the same purpose. The SUP also requires garage and driveway spaces to be
available and used for parking of vehicles and limits each tenant to one vehicle, which must be operable and
used as a primary form of transportation.
In addition to the requirements for Group Homes outlined above, Chapter 230.28 will also identify that the
following shall specifically apply to Sober Living Homes:
a.Sober Living Homes are prohibited from locating within one thousand (1000) feet of each other.
b.All occupants, other than the house manager, must be actively participating in legitimate
recovery programs with supporting documentation required.
c.The Sober Living Home’s rules and regulations must prohibit the use of any alcohol or non-
prescribed drugs at the Sober Living Home or by any recovering addict either on or off site.
Violation of the no drug policies are grounds for eviction for 90 days for the first offense. Any
second violation of this rule shall result in permanent eviction.
d.The number of sex offenders in any group home shall be no more than one, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Penal Code.
e.Each Sober Living Home shall have a written visitation policy that precludes any visitors who
are under the influence of any drug or alcohol.
f.The Sober Living Home shall have a good neighbor policy that shall direct the occupants to be
considerate of neighbors, including refraining from engaging in excessively loud, profane, or
obnoxious behavior that would unduly interfere with a neighbor’s use and enjoyment of their
dwelling unit. The good neighbor policy shall establish a written protocol for the house
manager/operator to follow when a neighbor complaint is received.
g.The Sober Living Home shall not provide any of the following services as they are defined by
the California Code of Regulations: detoxification; educational counseling; individual or group
counseling sessions; and treatment or recovery planning.
Chapter 230.28 will also provide provisions for requests for reasonable accommodation, cause for denial or
revocation of a Special Use Permit, and compliance with the proposed regulations. If the Zoning Text
Amendment is adopted by Ordinance, existing Group Homes, including Sober Living Homes, will have 90
days to apply for a Special Use Permit. Group Homes will have one year from the effective date of the
Ordinance to comply with its provisions, provided that any existing group home, which is serving more than six
(6) residents, must first comply with the six (6) resident maximum.
Conditional Use Permit
Finally, Chapter 230.28 will require a Conditional Use Permit to permit the operation of a Group Home,
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 8 of 10
powered by Legistar™288
File #:20-1744 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
including Sober Living Homes, or Residential Care Facility with seven (7) or more occupants in the RM, RMH,
RH, RMP, Specific Plan Residential and Specific Plan Mixed Use zones. This CUP requirement will be
processed to the Planning Commission. A Group Home or Residential Care Facility will be prohibited in the RL
zone and these stipulations are reflected in the Land Use Controls matrix of Chapter 210.
In addition to the Conditional Use Permit requirement, Group Homes or Residential Care Facilities with seven
(7) or more occupants are subject to the following requirements:
a.The Group Home or Sober Living Home shall be at least one thousand (1000) feet from any
other property that contains a Group Home, Sober Living Home, or State-licensed Residential Care
Facility; and
b.An application for an Operator’s Permit that complies with Chapter 5.110 of the Huntington
Beach Municipal Code (HBMC).
OPERATOR’S PERMIT
This ZTA will amend the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 5.110 Group Homes to add a requirement
that a Group Home obtain an Operator’s Permit. Since Group Homes with more than seven (7) residents will be
expressly prohibited in the RL zone, the Operator’s Permit requirement applies to Group Homes with seven (7)
or more residents in the RM, RMH, RH, RMP, Specific Plan Residential or Specific Plan Mixed Use zones.
The Operator’s Permit requirement does not apply to:
a.A Group Home that has six (6) or fewer occupants, not counting a house manager, that is in
compliance with Chapter 230.28 of the HBZSO;
b.A state-licensed alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility; or
c.A state-licensed residential care facility.
An application for an Operator’s Permit will be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer and must include
similar information to that of a Special Use Permit. A Group Home subject to the provisions of Chapter 5.110
that is in existence as of the effective date of the Ordinance will have 120 days to comply with the provisions.
D.SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005 with
findings and Municipal Code Amendment adding Chapter 5.110 (Group Homes) based on the
following:
·Codifies new use classifications that modernize the HBZSO
·Provides appropriate regulations and permit processes to reduce operational impacts of
existing and future group homes, sober living homes, and residential care facilities
·Provides housing accommodations to disabled persons to reside in normalized
residential environments
·Promotes effective recovery for persons suffering from the effects of alcoholism or
illegal use of drugs
·Preserves residential neighborhood character
·Consistent with General Plan goals and policies

making accessibility improvements to their homes.
The ZTA will provide the City appropriate regulations to reduce impacts of existing and future
group homes, sober living homes, and residential care facilities thereby preserving the
residential neighborhood character of the communities in which they operate. Further, the ZTA
promotes effective recovery for disabled persons, including those suffering from the effects of
alcoholism or illegal use of drugs, by providing housing accommodations in normalized
residential environments.
2. In the case of a general land use provision, ZTA No. 19-005 is compatible with the uses
authorized in, and the standards prescribed for the zoning district for which it is propose d
because the proposed amendment will provide the regulatory framework to limit the number
of people in a group home and to prevent the overconcentration of sober living homes in single-
family residential neighborhoods. The regulation establishes a Special Use Permit application
for group homes operating in single-family neighborhoods, and establishes reasonable
operating standards on these uses to ensure tha t they do not generate the type of secondary
impact that would be out of character for the neighborhood, while still furthering the purpose
of the Fair Employment and House Act, Fair Housing Act, and Lanterman Act.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the changes proposed in that the City of Huntington
Beach has experienced a rise in the number of Group Homes within single family residential
neighborhoods and a rate of increase in the number of Sober Living Homes far greater when
compared to other types of Group Homes. The proliferation of Sober Living Homes in the City
has resulted in a substantial increase in complaints received by neighbors and community
members regarding the operation of these uses. The proposed ZTA No. 19-005 seeks to strike
an appropriate balance between the interests of the City and its residents to preserve
residential neighborhood character, and the need to provide housing accommodations to
disabled persons, including those in recovery, to reside in normalized residential environments
that promote effective recovery.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice because ZTA No. 19-005 ensures the HBZSO is clear, current, consistently adapting
to the City’s obligation to make reasonable accommodation in its zoning laws when such
accommodation is reasonably necessary to afford the disabled the opportunity to use and
enjoy a dwelling. The ZTA is also reflective of the City’s ongoing effort to preserve the quality
of its residential neighborhoods.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
TO:Planning Commission
FROM:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Community Development Director
BY:Hayden Beckman, Senior Planner
SUBJECT:
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 19-005 (GROUP HOMES)
REQUEST:
To amend four chapters of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance (HBZSO), and create a new chapter of the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code (HBMC) that together establish a set of regulations for Group
Homes, Sober Living Homes, and Residential Care Facilities affecting
Residential Districts Citywide. The four chapters of the HBZSO to be amended
are Chapter 203 (Definitions), Chapter 204 (Use Classifications), Chapter 210
(Residential Districts), and Chapter 230 (Site Standards) - Section 230.28 Group
Homes. The chapter of the HBMC to be added is Chapter 5.110 Group Homes.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Currently, the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) does not adequately
identify or regulate group homes in all areas of the City. It is the intent of the City Council to develop
an Ordinance that strikes an appropriate balance between the interests of the City and its residents
to preserve residential neighborhood character, and the need to provide housing accommodations to
disabled persons, including those in recovery from chemical addiction to reside in normalized

residential environments.
The Planning Commission shall consider the following:
1. Does the project satisfy all the findings required for approving a Zoning Text Amendment?
2. Has the appropriate level of environmental analysis been determined?
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission take the following actions:
A) Finds and determines that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment
and is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061
(b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the amendment to the HBZSO will have a significant effect on the environment
(Attachment No. 1).
B) Forward Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005 to City Council for consideration with a
recommendation of approval (Attachment No. 1).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
A) Do not recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005 to the City Council.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
Background:
At the September 16, 2019 City Council meeting by a vote of 7-0, the City Council directed the City
Attorney to return to Council with one or more Ordinance(s) that regulates “Group Homes and Sober
Living Homes” with an appropriate balance between the interests of the City and its residents to
preserve residential neighborhood character and the need to provide reasonable accommodation for
the disabled, including those recovering from chemical addiction, to reside in normalized residential
environments.
Like many California cities, the City of Huntington Beach has experienced a rise in the number of
Group Homes within single family residential neighborhoods. A type of Group Home, commonly
referred to as Sober Living Homes, are single family homes where many occupants reside while
recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. These Sober Living Homes provide a place to live in “a
residential setting” between detox and the resident’s future housing. These homes are not required to
be licensed by the State and are not allowed to provide services that State licensed alcoholism or
drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities provide.
The proliferation of Sober Living Homes in Huntington Beach has resulted in a substantial increase in
complaints generated by neighbors and community members regarding the operation of these uses.
Reported impacts of sober living homes include excessive amounts of noise, loitering, second-hand
smoke, trash and debris, and increased parking demands within residential neighborhoods. Of
particular concern are complaints regarding the over-concentration of sober living homes, and when
in close proximity to one another, these uses may change the character of a residential neighborhood
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 2 of 11
powered by Legistar™352
File #:20-1677 MEETING DATE:6/9/2020
in close proximity to one another, these uses may change the character of a residential neighborhood
to a more institutional environment.
The proposed amendments are intended to preserve the residential character of single-family
residential neighborhoods and to further the purposes of State law, by, among other things: (1)
ensuring that Group Homes are actually entitled to the special accommodation and/or additional
accommodation provided under the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and not simply skirting the
City’s land use regulations; (2) limiting the secondary impacts of Group Homes by reducing noise and
traffic, preserving safety and providing adequate on street parking; (3) providing an accommodation
for the disabled that is reasonable and actually bears some resemblance to the opportunities
afforded non-disabled individuals to use and enjoy a dwelling unit in a single-family neighborhood;
and (4) to provide comfortable living environments that will enhance the opportunity for the disabled
and for recovering addicts to be successful in their programs. The proposed regulations will require
Group Homes, including Sober Living Homes, to obtain a ministerial permit to operate in a manner
consistent with the nature of the single-family residential neighborhoods in which they are located.
The Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) and California Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA), prohibits
cities from enforcing zoning laws that have the effect of discriminating against the disabled with
regard to housing opportunities. A disabled person is defined by The Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) as one that has: 1. A physical or mental impairment that affects one or more major life
activities; 2. A history of recovery from alcoholism or illegal use of drugs; or 3. Has been regarded as
having such impairment. The ADA protects persons in recovery from chemical addiction, even if they
are no longer engaged in the illegal use of drugs and otherwise meet the definitions in the statute.
Additionally, pursuant to the California Government and Welfare and Institutions Codes, and The
Lanterman Developmental Disabilities and Services Act (Lanterman Act), people with developmental
disabilities have the right to obtain the services and support they need to live like people without
disabilities. A core purpose of this State law is to provide a broader range of housing options to the
disabled, and to free the disabled to the extent possible from institutional style living. As such, a
disabled person is afforded an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a residential dwelling. Likewise,
pursuant to the California FEHA, individuals with physical and mental disabilities have the right under
State law to rent, lease, or buy housing accommodations free from discrimination due to a disability.
State law requires cities to treat certain state-licensed residential care facilities that provide care,
services, and/or treatment serving six or fewer disabled tenants as a single family residential use. (As
such, and consistent with State law, the existing HBZSO provides that both “Residential Alcohol
Recovery, Limited” and “Residential Care, Limited” uses that house six (6) or fewer individuals are
permitted by right in the City’s Residential districts.)
The Health and Safety Code does not regulate supportive living facilities that provide no treatment,
and the HBZSO does not currently classify such a use specifically, which has encumbered the City’s
ability to effectively mitigate impacts from such uses.
Finally, the California Constitution and Huntington Beach Charter grants broad police powers to
Huntington Beach to preserve the residential characteristics or its various types of residential zones.
It is the intent of the City Council to develop an Ordinance that strikes an appropriate balance
between the interests of the City and its residents to preserve residential neighborhood character,
and the need to provide housing accommodations to disabled persons, including those in recoveryCity of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 3 of 11
powered by Legistar™353
File #:20-1677 MEETING DATE:6/9/2020
and the need to provide housing accommodations to disabled persons, including those in recovery
from chemical addiction to reside in normalized residential environments that promote effective
recovery. State and Federal laws require the City to make reasonable accommodations in its zoning
laws when such accommodation is reasonably necessary to afford the disabled the opportunity to
use and enjoy a dwelling. The proposed Ordinance will apply to all districts Citywide, but affect only
residential districts.
Study Session:
The Planning Commission held a study session for ZTA No. 19-005 on May 26, 2020.
In addition to minor text adjustments, the Commission asked staff to return with information regarding
the following items:
·HBZSO Chapter 230.28 (B)(1)(k)(ii) - What is the final option for an operator who is in the
process of evicting a tenant if that operator cannot find a facility or agency willing to accept
them?
Staff added “If the operator cannot find accommodation, the occupant must continue to house
on premises until such accommodation can be found for the occupant” to Chapter 230.28 (B)
(1)(k)(ii).
·Clarify definition of Boarding House. Can we add language to Use Classification to Group
Residential to exclude Single Housekeeping Units?
Upon further consideration, the proposed definition of Boarding House was revised. However,
the distinctions of the proposed definitions of both Boarding House and Group Residential are
of legal significance and staff does not recommend further modification.
·Can the requirements include a blanket buffer for GH/SLH to also be minimum 1000 feet from
any City boundary to avoid cross-jurisdictional overconcentration?
A buffer requirement from City boundaries has not been legally tested by the Courts and is
therefore not recommended. The proposed 1000’ buffer is in excess of the 650’ buffer that has
been tested and any additional deviations could be a future issue.
·How does a Referral Facility become a Referral Facility? Does an applicant have to declare
that upon application to the City?
The operator of any existing or future Group Home, Sober Living Home, or Residential Care
Facility may choose to accept residents as ordered from a court or similar directive, thus
classifying their operation as a Referral Facility. As such, the operator is responsible for
identifying this element of operation to the City and staff will build into the applications for a
Special Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit a statement requiring that the operator identify
whether they intend to operate as a Referral Facility.
·Can the City tie the revocation of an Operator’s Permit to a corresponding Conditional Use
Permit for the same property and operator?
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 4 of 11
powered by Legistar™354
File #:20-1677 MEETING DATE:6/9/2020
A recommended condition of approval will be included with the Planning Commission’s review
of any Group Home Conditional Use Permit Home that will require a valid Operator’s Permit
for the duration of the operation of said Group Home. The condition will identify that should an
Operator’s Permit be revoked by the Finance Director, a hearing shall be held to formally
revoke the corresponding Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission.
·Are there any recent relevant legislative updates?
The City of Costa Mesa is in various stages of litigation concerning their Group Home
Ordinance. The litigation spans from the earliest which is an administrative appeal of a denial
of a SUP to a pending case before a trial court to a case appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeal.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
General Plan Conformance:
The proposed ZTA is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan including:
Land Use Element
Policy LU-2 (D): Maintain and protect residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of
incompatible land uses.
Goal LU-4: A range of housing types is available to meet the diverse economic, physical, and social
needs of future and existing residents, while neighborhood character and residences are well
maintained and protected.
Policy LU-4 (A): Encourage a mix of residential types to accommodate people with diverse housing
needs.
Housing Element
Goal H-1: Maintain and enhance the quality and affordability of existing housing in Huntington
Beach.
Policy H-1.1: Preserve the character, scale, and quality of established residential neighborhoods.
Policy H-5.1: Continue to enforce fair housing laws prohibiting arbitrary discrimination in the building,
financing, sales, or rental of housing on the basis of race, religion, family status, national origin,
physically (sic) disability or other factors.
Policy H-5.3: Support the provision of permanent, affordable, and accessible housing that allows
persons with disabilities to live independent lives. Provide assistance to residents making
accessibility improvements to their homes.
The ZTA will provide the City appropriate regulations to reduce impacts of existing and future group
homes, sober living homes, and residential care facilities thereby preserving the residential
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 5 of 11

homes, sober living homes, and residential care facilities thereby preserving the residential
neighborhood character of the communities in which they operate. Further, the ZTA promotes
effective recovery for disabled persons, including those suffering from the effects of alcoholism or
illegal use of drugs, by providing housing accommodations in normalized residential environments.
Zoning Compliance:
The following provides a review of the proposed amendments organized by each Chapter.
A. CHAPTER 203 DEFINITIONS
To provide context to the scope of changes in this ZTA, several new definitions must be established
in Chapter 203 Definitions, identified below.
- Modify existing definition of Boarding House
- Add Disabled
- Add Fair Housing Laws
- Add Household
- Add Integral Facilities
- Add Integral Uses
- Add Operator
- Add Single Housekeeping Unit
These definitions work in concert with the other elements of the proposed ZTA to more clearly define
specific uses as they pertain to the regulation of Group Homes in Huntington Beach.
B.CHAPTER 204 USE CLASSIFICATIONS
To provide for the regulation of Group Homes, including Sober Living Homes, this ZTA will establish
four new use classifications in Chapter 204 Use Classifications. Staff is summarizing them below in
order to introduce and differentiate each classification.
Group Home
A residential unit utilized as a supportive living environment for people meeting the legal
definition of disabled.
·Provides housing only for a classified group of people. No medical care, services, or
treatment can take place in a Group Home
o Only State licensed facilities can provide care, services, or treatment under State
law (see Residential Care Facilities)
Sober Living Home
Sober Living Homes are also Group Homes, but specifically for people recovering from a
chemical addiction that meet the legal definition of disabled.
·Provides housing only that is primarily meant for people who have just come out of
rehab and need a place to live that is structured and supportive for those in recovery.
·For the purposes of the Ordinance, a Sober Living Home is not state licensed.
·No medical care, services, or treatment can occur in a Sober Living Home
o Only State licensed facilities can provide care, services, or treatment under State
law (see Residential Care Facilities)
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 6 of 11
powered by Legistar™356
File #:20-1677 MEETING DATE:6/9/2020
Residential Care Facilities (RCF)
A State Licensed residential facility where care, services, or treatment are provided to persons
living in a community residential setting.
·Provide housing and care/treatment for the elderly, developmentally disabled,
chronically ill, and chemical addiction treatment facilities, among others.
·RCFs that specifically provide drug and or alcohol abuse treatment are licensed by the
Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and are known as alcoholism or drug abuse
recovery or treatment facilities.
o Homes are required to be licensed by the DHCS when at least one of the
following services is provided: detoxification, group counseling sessions, individual
counseling sessions, educational sessions, or alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or
treatment planning.
Referral Facility
Either a Residential Care Facility, Group Home, or Sober Living Home where one or more
person’s residency is per a court order or similar directive. Referral facilities must follow the
permit procedure according to the base use classification, and are not permitted in the RL
zone.
C.CHAPTER 210 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
In addition to establishing the new Definitions and Use Classifications identified above, this ZTA will
also amend Chapter 210 Residential Districts to provide reference to land use controls and new
requirements for Group Homes in Residential Districts (Legislative Drafts attached for reference).
These changes are summarized below.
1. Add “Group Homes Including Sober Living Homes” to Land Use Controls matrix and create
Additional Provision L-8:
o A Group Home (GH) or Sober Living Home (SLH) with six (6) or fewer residents
§In all Residential districts, requires a ministerial Special Use Permit (SUP) from
the Community Development Director; and
§Any SLH shall be one thousand (1000) feet from any other property that contains
a GH, SLH, or RCF pursuant to Chapter 230.28
o A GH or SLH with seven (7) or more residents
§Not permitted in the RL zone
§In all other Residential Districts, requires a CUP from the Planning Commission;
and
·An Operator’s Permit that complies with Huntington Beach Municipal
Code (HBMC) Section 5.110; and
·The GH or SLH (with 7 or more residents) shall be one thousand (1000)
feet from any other property that contains a GH or SLH.
o An applicant for a GH or SLH may seek relief from strict application of the requirements
of Additional Provision L-8 by applying for reasonable accommodation pursuant to
HBMC 17.77.
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 7 of 11

File #:20-1677 MEETING DATE:6/9/2020
2. Add “Referral Facility” to the Land Use Controls matrix and create Additional Provision L-9:
o Referral Facilities are not permitted in the RL zone; and
§No Referral Facility may be located:
·Within five hundred (500) feet of property that is zoned either RL or
Specific Plan Residential Low Density, or
·Within five hundred (500) feet of a school, park, place of worship, or
licensed day care facility.
o Referral Facilities must have an on-site manager 24/7
o Referral Facilities may not admit a resident convicted of specific crimes
3. Add “Residential Care Facility” to the Land Use Controls Matrix and create Additional
Provision (T).
o Certain Residential Care Facilities are Permitted (P), and certain Residential Care
Facilities require a CUP from the Planning Commission. The “P/PC” listing refers to this
differentiation.
o Additional Provision (T)
§Identify that unlicensed Residential Care Facilities are not permitted in any R
district
§State licensed Residential Care Facilities serving six (6) or fewer residents are
permitted in all R districts
§State licensed Residential Care Facilities serving seven (7) or more residents in
all R districts require a CUP from the Planning Commission
D.CHAPTER 230.28 GROUP HOMES
Finally, this ZTA will add a new section to Chapter 230 Site Standards, Article I. Residential Districts.
Titled Chapter 230.28 Group Homes, this section represents the appropriate placement for new
regulations that will be applicable to Group Homes in Residential Districts.
Special Use Permit (SUP)
Chapter 230.28 will identify that a Group Home that may otherwise be considered an unpermitted
use may locate in a Residential District subject to the approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) by the
Community Development Director, provided that the Group Home is in compliance with applicable
regulations. Should the Ordinance be adopted, all existing Group Homes as well as any new
proposed Group Home will be required to obtain a SUP. The SUP is ministerial and may be granted
when a complete application is submitted to the Community Development Director that provides the
following:
1. The name, address, phone number, and driver’s license number of the owner, operator, and
house manager;
2. A copy of the Group Home rules and regulations;
3. Written intake procedures;
4. The relapse policy (if applicable, depending on the type of Group Home);
5. An affirmation by the owner/operator that only residents (other than the house manager) who
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/9/2020Page 8 of 11
powered by Legistar™358
File #:20-1677 MEETING DATE:6/9/2020
5. An affirmation by the owner/operator that only residents (other than the house manager) who
are disabled as defined by State and Federal law shall reside at the Group Home;
6. Blank copies of all forms that residents and potential residents are required to complete; and
7. A fee for the cost of processing the application as set by resolution by the City Council.
Only basic information will be required to submit an application for a SUP, and the internal
procedures and forms will be provided to applicants. Compliance with the application requirements
should not present any significant hardship, since the requirements are in line with the routine
capabilities expected from a professionally operated Group Home.
In general, the operational requirements to maintain a SUP include the following: no more than seven
(7) tenants may reside in a Group Home, one of which must be a house manager. If the dwelling unit
has a secondary accessory unit, occupants of both units will be combined to determine whether or
not the limit of six (6) occupants has been exceeded. A Group Home shall not be located in an
accessory secondary unit unless the primary dwelling unit is used for the same purpose. The SUP
also requires garage and driveway spaces to be available and used for parking of vehicles and limits
each tenant to one vehicle, which must be operable and used as a primary form of transportation.
In addition to the requirements for Group Homes outlined above, Chapter 230.28 will also identify
that the following shall specifically apply to Sober Living Homes:
1. Sober Living Homes are prohibited from locating within one thousand (1000) feet of each
other.
2. All occupants, other than the house manager, must be actively participating in legitimate
recovery programs with supporting documentation required.
3. The Sober Living Home’s rules and regulations must prohibit the use of any alcohol or non-
prescribed drugs at the Sober Living Home or by any recovering addict either on or off site.
Violation of the no drug policies are grounds for eviction for 90 days for the first offense. Any
second violation of this rule shall result in permanent eviction.
4. The number of sex offenders in any group home shall be no more than one, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Penal Code.
5. Each Sober Living Home shall have a written visitation policy that precludes any visitors who
are under the influence of any drug or alcohol.
6. The Sober Living Home shall have a good neighbor policy that shall direct the occupants to be
considerate of neighbors, including refraining from engaging in excessively loud, profane, or
obnoxious behavior that would unduly interfere with a neighbor’s use and enjoyment of their
dwelling unit. The good neighbor policy shall establish a written protocol for the house
manager/operator to follow when a neighbor complaint is received.
7. The Sober Living Home shall not provide any of the following services as they are defined by
the California Code of Regulations: detoxification; educational counseling; individual or group
counseling sessions; and treatment or recovery planning.
Chapter 230.28 will also provide provisions for requests for reasonable accommodation, cause for
denial or revocation of a Special Use Permit, and compliance with the proposed regulations. If the
Zoning Text Amendment is adopted by Ordinance, existing Group Homes, including Sober Living
Homes, will have 90 days to apply for a Special Use Permit. Group Homes will have one year from
the effective date of the Ordinance to comply with its provisions, provided that any existing group
home, which is serving more than six (6) residents, must first comply with the six (6) resident

maximum.
Conditional Use Permit
Finally, Chapter 230.28 will require a Conditional Use Permit to permit the operation of a Group
Home, including Sober Living Homes, or Residential Care Facility with seven (7) or more occupants
in the RM, RMH, RH, RMP, Specific Plan Residential and Specific Plan Mixed Use zones. This CUP
requirement will be processed to the Planning Commission. A Group Home or Residential Care
Facility will be prohibited in the RL zone and these stipulations are reflected in the Land Use Controls
matrix of Chapter 210.
In addition to the Conditional Use Permit requirement, Group Homes or Residential Care Facilities
with seven (7) or more occupants are subject to the following requirements:
1. The Group Home or Sober Living Home shall be at least one thousand (1000) feet from any
other property that contains a Group Home, Sober Living Home, or State-licensed Residential
Care Facility; and
2. An application for an Operator’s Permit that complies with Chapter 5.110 of the Huntington
Beach Municipal Code (HBMC).
OPERATOR’S PERMIT
In addition to the ZTA, the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 5.110 Group Homes will be
amended to add a requirement that a Group Home obtain an Operator’s Permit. Since Group Homes
with more than seven (7) residents will be expressly prohibited in the RL zone, the Operator’s Permit
requirement applies to Group Homes with seven (7) or more residents in the RM, RMH, RH, RMP,
Specific Plan Residential or Specific Plan Mixed Use zones.
The Operator’s Permit requirement does not apply to:
1. A Group Home that has six (6) or fewer occupants, not counting a house manager, that is in
compliance with Chapter 230.28 of the HBZSO;
2. A state-licensed alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility; or
3. A state-licensed residential care facility.
An application for an Operator’s Permit will be submitted to the Finance Director and must include
similar information to that of a Special Use Permit. A Group Home subject to the provisions of
Chapter 5.110 that is in existence as of the effective date of the Ordinance will have 120 days to
comply with the provisions.
Urban Design Guidelines Conformance:
Not Applicable.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 19-005 is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to
Section 15061 (b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the amendment to the HBZSO will have a significant effect on the
environment.

Hello,
I wanted to encourage the City Council to please approve item #18 20-1717 that
includes the Zoning Text Amendment No. 19-005.
These new items are desperately needed in order to begin the process of limiting and
regulating the Sober Living Homes/Recovery Homes that are starting to crop up in
our neighborhoods.
We live on Ashworth Circle and it had been 12 men at 19622 Ashworth Circle- but
guess what? ANOTHER man moved in on 4th of July, with his 3 dogs!! Where does
it end??
We only want to have our neighborhood be just that, a family neighborhood.
Thank you for all your work-we appreciate you!

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Chris Slama, Director of Community Services
Subject:
Approve the Revised Master Plan for the Redevelopment of the Rodgers Seniors’ Center Site
and direct staff to complete the design process and issue a bid package for construction
Statement of Issue:
There is a need for City Council to approve the revised Master Plan for redevelopment of the
Rodgers Seniors’ Center site.
Financial Impact:
Funding in the amount of $925,000 is included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020/21 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) budget with an additional $875,000 scheduled for FY 2021/22. The FY 2020/21
amount is budgeted in the Park Development Impact Fund 228, account 22845018.
Recommended Action:
Approve the revised Rodgers Seniors’ Center Site Master Plan, as included in Attachment 3, and
direct staff to complete the design process and issue a bid package for construction.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action, and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
City Council previously directed staff to work through the Community Services Commission (CSC) to
seek public input and make recommendations to City Council on re-use of the Rodgers Seniors’
Center site (RSC). As part of City Council action, staff was also directed to consider utilizing a
charrette format to enable the highest level of public input. The two-acre RSC is located at 1706
Orange Avenue. For many years, it served as a public park and as home of the Michael Rodgers
Seniors’ Center and Senior Outreach Building.
On Saturday, September 28, 2019, RJM Design Group (RJM) conducted the charrette-style
workshop at the RSC. The goal of the charrette workshop was to gather input from the community
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/17/2020Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™381
File #:20-1746 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
for the future use of the site. The meeting was well attended with approximately 100 local residents
participating. The workshop included activities where attendees were broken out into groups. Tools
were provided for each group to assist with communicating their ideas for the future use of the site.
The groups provided input on likes, dislikes, issues, concerns, and park and facility amenities. Most
groups created a concept plan for the site, from which RJM created a composite plan that included
the former Senior Outreach building, tot lot, parking area, and green space, which ultimately led to
the development of a draft conceptual plan for recommendation.
On November 13, 2019, staff presented RJM’s design proposal and conceptual diagram (Attachment
1) to the CSC for recommendation to City Council for their consideration. A slightly modified version
of the proposed diagram was approved by the CSC at that meeting, with the playground equipment
removed from the plan, in response to several public comments requesting more open green space.
At the City Council study session on February 18, 2020, staff presented the revised conceptual plan
approved by the CSC (Attachment 2), seeking City Council feedback in order to complete the draft
Master Plan for the Rodgers Seniors’ Center site. Further discussion ensued regarding parking
needs, requirements, and possible options for the location of parking spaces - on and/or off-site.
Based on the variety of feedback from the City Council at the February 18, 2020, study session, staff
worked with RJM to devise a revised draft Master Plan. The newly-proposed plan features a parking
lot located adjacent to Orange Avenue, placing it closer to the building for accessibility (Attachment
3). The proposed lot would include 13 parking spaces, which in combination with on-street parking,
would support assemblies of 30-40 people in the building, as well as provide park access. Per City
Council direction and public input process, the smaller, former Senior Outreach building, would
remain and be utilized by the American Legion Post 133 for certain storage and meeting space
needs, while also serving as a reservation facility for the general public according to the City’s Master
Fee and Charges Schedule.
The total budget for the redevelopment of the RSC is estimated at $1,800,000. Of this amount,
$925,000 is included in the FY 2020/21 CIP budget with the balance scheduled for FY 2021/22 using
Park Development Impact fees. Should the City Council approve the recommended action, staff will
immediately continue the design process in order to produce a package for a competitive bidding
process to construct the park.
Environmental Status:
The project will go through appropriate CEQA clearances as identified in the entitlement process.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure
Attachment(s):
1) RJM original conceptual design presented to Community Services Commission (November
13, 2019)
2) Modified conceptual design proposal presented to City Council (February 18, 2020)
3) Revised conceptual design proposal following City Council Study Session

Evolution of Park Design
•The initial proposed park design that came out of the
public planning process featured a playground,
preserving Outreach building for an assembly hall, open
turf area, and a parking lot
•That concept was modified by the Community Services
Commission, which recommended the removal of the
playground
•Finally, based on City Council feedback at the 2/18/20

Master Plan Update
•We have been able to fund nearly all of the
prioritized park improvements identified in the 2016
Master Plan
–Improvements have been made possible mainly through
Park Development Impact Fees (DIF)
–Based on current park improvement plans, the City’s Park
DIF fund balance is expected to be ~$3.8M by the end of
the current FY 2020/21
•To ensure relevant future park investments for our
community, funding was approved by the City
Council to develop an updated Park Master Plan
–That process will begin this year, and the completed
document will guide our future park development efforts 401
Recommended Action
Approve the revised Rodgers Seniors’ Center Site Master
Plan as included in Attachment 3, and direct staff to
complete the design process and issue a bid package for

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Dahle Bulosan, Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-52 authorizing the execution and delivery by the City of a Master
Site Lease, Master Lease Agreement, Master Indenture, Bond Purchase Agreement,
Continuing Disclosure Certificate, Second Amendment to Site Lease and a Second
Amendment to Lease Agreement in connection with the issuance of Huntington Beach Public
Financing Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, in one or more series, approving the
issuance of such bonds in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $21,000,000,
authorizing the distribution of an official statement and authorizing the execution of
necessary documents and certificates and related actions in connection therewith
Statement of Issue:
City Council authorization is requested to approve the refunding of the Huntington Beach Public
Financing Authority’s outstanding 2010 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series A ($7,410,000) and
2011 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series A ($15,725,000) in an amount not to exceed
$21,000,000.
Financial Impact:
General Fund debt service expenditures will be reduced by over $900,000 in the first two years of
refunding, followed by an average annual savings of $390,000 thereafter through 2032. All costs of
the bond refunding will be paid from bond proceeds. The maturity dates of the new bonds coincide
on a fiscal year basis with the maturity dates of the bonds that are being refunded.
Recommended Action:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-52, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach

and,
B) Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to take all administrative and budgetary actions
necessary to perform the bond refunding.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and the refinancing of the bonds, and direct staff
accordingly.
Analysis:
The Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority (PFA) was formed in 1988 to issue debt to finance public
improvements and other capital projects for the City of Huntington Beach and the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Huntington Beach. The PFA’s governing body is the City Council, which also adopts the PFA annual
budget. The PFA is financially dependent on the City for all its operations. Currently, the PFA has three separate
debt issues outstanding (2010 Series A, 2011 Series A, and 2014 Series A) totaling $35,665,000.
Staff regularly monitors the market for municipal securities. Recently, the municipal bond market has improved
to the point where refunding the bonds will be economically beneficial. The 2010 Series A Bonds are callable
on September 1, 2020 and can be refunded on a tax-exempt basis. The 2011 Series A Bonds are callable on
September 1, 2021 and will be advance refunded on a taxable basis. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which
went into effect on January 1, 2018, prohibits the use of tax-exempt bonds for advance refundings.

Total $ 51,020,000 $ 23,135,000 $ 5,723,000
The City’s economic benefit is the difference between the cash flows for the new debt compared to the old debt,
or $5,723,000, which takes into account all of the expenditures of the new debt. The proposed refunding will
be structured to provide over $900,000 in annual savings for the first two years of the refunding, and an average
of $390,000 in annual debt service savings through 2032. The maturity dates of the new bonds coincide on a
fiscal year basis with the maturity dates of the bonds that are being refunded.
Staff is recommending that the existing debt be refunded by the issuance of new debt, not to exceed
$21,000,000. The recommended “not to exceed” amount is determined by the City’s financial advisors, and is a
conservative estimate based on issuing bonds at par, without the additional proceeds generated from bond
“premium.” Upon issuance of the new debt, the City will have no further obligation to fund debt service on the
original debt.
Staff is recommending that the bonds be sold through its selected underwriter, Stifel, through a negotiated sale.
Stifel was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals process where seven different firms submitted

File #:20-1763 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Stifel was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals process where seven different firms submitted
proposals. Stifel provided the most competitive qualified proposal and will market the bonds to investors.
The bonds are payable from rental payments received by the Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority
from General Fund lease payments made on City-owned properties. The 2010 Series A and 2011 Series B
bonds have been payable from General Fund lease payments made on the following properties:
·Donald W. Kiser Corporate Yard
·Civic Center
Given current valuations, the City will only use the Donald W. Kiser Corporate Yard as a leased
property for the new debt and will release the Civic Center from the remaining lease obligation of the 2014
bonds. The leased asset securing the 2014 bonds will now be the Central Library.
Consistent with financial industry standards, in order for staff to proceed with the transaction, the net present
value savings to the City must be at least 3% of the refunded principal amount. The minimum savings amount
is calculated as follows:
Principal Amount of Debt to be Redeemed $ 23,135,000
Multiplied by 3%3%
Minimum Necessary Present Value Savings $ 694,050
If the savings is less than $694,050, then the transaction will not be completed. Currently, the City is
anticipating Net Present Value Savings of ~8.4%. Staff will continue to monitor interest rate trends to
determine when and if additional debt refunding or defeasances will create a financial benefit. If such a
situation occurs, staff will present the proposal to the City Council for approval.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Strengthen long-term financial and economic sustainability

LEASE OF PROPERTY; TERM
Section 2.01. Lease of Property. (a) The Authority hereby leases to the City and the City
hereby leases from the Authority the Property, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
subject to all Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) The leasing of the Property by the City to the Authority pursuant to the Site Lease
shall not effect or result in a merger of the City’s leasehold estate in the Property as lessee under
this Lease Agreement and its fee estate in the Property as lessor under the Site Lease, and the
Authority shall continue to have a leasehold estate in the Property pursuant to the Site Lease
throughout the term thereof and hereof. This Lease Agreement shall constitute a sublease with
respect to the Property. The leasehold interest in the Property granted by the City to the Authority
pursuant to the Site Lease is and shall be independent of this Lease Agreement and this Lease
Agreement shall not be an assignment or surrender of the leasehold interest in the Property granted
to the Authority under the Site Lease.
Section 2.02. Term; Occupancy. (a) The term of this Lease Agreement shall commence
on the Closing Date and shall end on the Scheduled Termination Date, unless such term is extended
or sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. If, on the Scheduled Termination Date, all of the
Bonds shall not be fully paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article IX of the
Indenture, or any Rental Payments shall remain due and payable or shall have been abated at any
time, then the term of this Lease Agreement shall be extended until the date upon which all of the
Bonds shall be fully paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article IX of the
Indenture, and all Rental Payments due and payable shall have been paid in full; provided,
however, that the term of this Lease Agreement shall in no event be extended more than ten years
beyond the Scheduled Termination Date. If, prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, all of the
Bonds shall be fully paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article IX of the
Indenture, and all Rental Payments due and payable shall have been paid in full, the term of this
Lease Agreement shall end simultaneously therewith.
(b) The City shall take possession of the Property on the Closing Date.

ARTICLE III
RENTAL PAYMENTS
Section 3.01. Base Rental Payments. (a) General. The Rental Payments, including Base
Rental Payments, for each Rental Period shall be paid by the City to the Authority for and in
consideration of the right to use and occupy the Property and in consideration of the continued
right to the quiet use and enjoyment thereof during such Rental Period.
The obligation of the City to pay the Base Rental Payments does not constitute a debt of
the City or of the State of California or of any political subdivision thereof in contravention of any
constitutional or statutory debt limit or restriction, and does not constitute an obligation for which
the City or the State of California is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which
the City or the State of California has levied or pledged any form of taxation.
(b) Base Rental Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 hereof, the City
shall, on each Base Rental Deposit Date, pay to the Authority a Base Rental Payment in an amount
equal to the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds due and payable on the next succeeding
Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, including any such principal due
and payable by reason of mandatory sinking fund redemption of the Bonds; provided, however,
that the amount of such Base Rental Payment shall be reduced by the amount, if any, available in
the Payment Fund, the Principal Account or the Interest Account on such Base Rental Deposit
Date to pay such principal of, or interest on, the Bonds.
(c) Payments other than Regularly Scheduled Payments. If the term of this Lease
Agreement shall have been extended pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, the obligation of the City to
pay Rental Payments shall continue to and including the Base Rental Deposit Date preceding the
date of termination of this Lease Agreement (as so extended pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof).
Upon such extension, the Base Rental Payments payable during such extended term shall be
established so that such Base Rental Payments will in the aggregate be sufficient to pay the unpaid
principal of, and interest accrued and to accrue on, the Bonds; provided, however, that the Rental
Payments payable in any Rental Period shall not exceed the annual fair rental value of the Property.
Section 3.02. Additional Rental Payments. The City shall also pay, as Additional Rental
Payments, such amounts as shall be required for the payment of the following:
(a) all taxes and assessments of any type or nature charged to the Authority or the City
or affecting the Property or the respective interests or estates of the Authority or the City therein;
(b) all reasonable administrative costs of the Authority relating to the Property
including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, salaries, wages, fees and expenses
payable by the Authority under the Indenture, fees of auditors, accountants, attorneys or engineers,
and all other necessary and reasonable administrative costs of the Authority or charges required to
be paid by it in order to maintain its existence or to comply with the terms of the Indenture or this
Lease Agreement or to defend the Authority and its members, officers, agents and employees;
(c) insurance premiums for all insurance required pursuant to Article V hereof;
436
7
4149-0022-5572.4
(d) any amounts with respect to the Bonds required to be rebated to the federal
government in accordance with section 148(f) of the Code; and
(e) all other payments required to be paid by the City under the provisions of this Lease
Agreement or the Indenture.
Amounts constituting Additional Rental Payments payable hereunder shall be paid by the
City directly to the person or persons to whom such amounts shall be payable. The City shall pay
all such amounts when due or at such later time as such amounts may be paid without penalty or,
in any other case, within 60 days after notice in writing from the Trustee to the City stating the
amount of Additional Rental Payments then due and payable and the purpose thereof.
Section 3.03. Fair Rental Value. The parties hereto have agreed and determined that the
Rental Payments are not in excess of the fair rental value of the Property. In making such
determination of fair rental value, consideration has been given to the uses and purposes which
may be served by the Property and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to the City and the
general public. Payments of the Rental Payments for the Property during each Rental Period shall
constitute the total rental for said Rental Period.
Section 3.04. Payment Provisions. Each installment of Base Rental Payments payable
hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America to or upon the order of
the Authority at the Principal Office of the Trustee, or such other place or entity as the Authority
shall designate. Notwithstanding any dispute between the Authority and the City, the City shall
make all Rental Payments when due without deduction or offset of any kind and shall not withhold
any Rental Payments pending the final resolution of such dispute. In the event of a determination
that the City was not liable for said Rental Payments or any portion thereof, said payments or
excess of payments, as the case may be, shall be credited against subsequent Rental Payments due
hereunder or refunded at the time of such determination.
Section 3.05. Appropriations Covenant. The City covenants to take such action as may
be necessary to include all Rental Payments due hereunder in its annual budgets and to make
necessary annual appropriations for all such Rental Payments. The covenants on the part of the
City contained in this Section shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be duties imposed
by law and it shall be the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and
do such things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to
enable the City to carry out and perform such covenants.
Section 3.06. Rental Abatement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Section, during any period in which, by reason of material damage to, or destruction or
condemnation of, the Property, or any defect in title to the Property, there is substantial interference
with the City’s right to use and occupy any portion of the Property, Rental Payments shall be
abated, proportionately, and the City waives the benefits of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2)
and 1933(4) and any and all other rights to terminate this Lease Agreement by virtue of any such
interference, and this Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The amount of such
abatement shall be agreed upon by the City and the Authority. The City and the Authority shall
provide the Trustee with a certificate setting forth the amount of such abatement and the basis
therefor. Such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with the date of interference
437
8
4149-0022-5572.4
resulting from such damage, destruction, condemnation or title defect and, with respect to damage
to or destruction of the Property, ending with the substantial completion of the work of repair or
replacement of the Property, or the portion thereof so damaged or destroyed, and the term of this
Lease Agreement shall be extended as provided in Section 2.02 hereof; provided, however, that
such term shall in no event be extended more than ten years beyond the Scheduled Termination
Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that moneys are available for the payment of
Rental Payments in any of the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, Rental
Payments shall not be abated as provided above but, rather, shall be payable by the City as a special
obligation payable solely from said funds and accounts.

utility and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments
or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal

the Property or the Authority’s interest therein, and shall cause each such lien to be fully discharged
and released at the time the performance of any obligation secured by any such lien matures or
becomes due, except that, if the City desires to contest any such lien, it may do so as long as such
contest is in good faith. If any such lien shall be reduced to final judgment and such judgment or

ARTICLE VIII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 8.01. Events of Default. The occurrence, from time to time, of any one or more
of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease Agreement:
(a) the failure of the City to pay any Rental Payment payable hereunder when the same
becomes due and payable, time being expressly declared to be of the essence in this Lease
Agreement;
(b) the failure by the City to observe and perform any of the other covenants,
agreements or conditions on its part in this Lease Agreement contained, if such failure shall have
continued for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, the Authority or the
Owners of not less than 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding;
provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the City, the failure stated in the notice can
be corrected, but not within such 30 day period, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default
if corrective action is instituted by the City within such 30 day period and the City shall thereafter
diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period of time, provided, further,
however, that the period of time for such cure shall not exceed 90 days without the prior written
consent of the Authority;
(c) except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Lease Agreement, the assignment
or transfer, either voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise, of the City’s interest in this
Lease Agreement or any part thereof without the written consent of the Authority;
(d) the abandonment of the Property by the City; or
(e) the commencement by the City of a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United
States Code or any substitute or successor statute.
Section 8.02. Action on Default. (a) In each and every case during the continuance of an
Event of Default hereunder, the Authority, in addition to all other rights and remedies it may have
at law, shall have the option either to exercise the rights provided for in subsection (b) of this
Section or to exercise the rights provided for in subsection (c) of this Section.
(b) In each and every case during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
the Authority shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner hereinafter
provided, notwithstanding any re-entry or re-letting of the Property as provided in subsection (c)
of this Section, and to re-enter the Property and remove all persons in possession thereof and all
personal property whatsoever situated upon the Property and place such personal property in
storage in any warehouse or other suitable place, for the account of and at the expense of the City.
In the event of such termination, the City agrees to surrender immediately possession of the
Property, without let or hindrance, and to pay the Authority all damages recoverable at law that
the Authority may incur by reason of default by the City, including, without limitation, any costs,
loss or damage whatsoever arising out of, in connection with, or incident to any such re-entry upon
the Property and removal and storage of such property by the Authority or its duly authorized
447
18
4149-0022-5572.4
agents in accordance with the provisions herein contained. Neither notice to pay Rental Payments
or to deliver up possession of the Property given pursuant to law nor any entry or re-entry by the
Authority nor any proceeding in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by the Authority for the
purpose of effecting such re-entry or obtaining possession of the Property nor the appointment of
a receiver upon initiative of the Authority to protect the Authority’s interest under this Lease
Agreement shall of itself operate to terminate this Lease Agreement, and no termination of this
Lease Agreement on account of default by the City shall be or become effective by operation of
law or acts of the parties hereto, or otherwise, unless and until the Authority shall have given
written notice to the City of the election on the part of the Authority to terminate this Lease
Agreement. The City covenants and agrees that no surrender of the Property or of the remainder
of the term hereof or any termination of this Lease Agreement shall be valid in any manner or for
any purpose whatsoever unless stated by the Authority by such written notice.
(c) In each and every case during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
the Authority shall have the right, without terminating this Lease Agreement (i) to collect each
installment of Rental Payments as the same become due and enforce any other terms or provisions
hereof to be kept or performed by the City, regardless of whether or not the City has abandoned
the Property, or (ii) to exercise any and all rights of entry and re-entry upon the Property. In the
event the Authority does not elect to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner provided for
in subsection (b) of this Section, the City shall remain liable and agrees to keep or perform all
covenants and conditions herein contained to be kept or performed by the City and, if the Property
is not re-let, to pay the full amount of the Rental Payments to the end of the term of this Lease
Agreement or, in the event that the Property is re-let, to pay any deficiency in Rental Payments
that results therefrom; and further agrees to pay said Rental Payments and/or Rental Payment
deficiency punctually at the same time and in the same manner as hereinabove provided for the
payment of Rental Payments hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the Authority may have
received in previous years or may receive thereafter in subsequent years Rental Payments in excess
of the Rental Payments herein specified, and notwithstanding any entry or re-entry by the
Authority or suit in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by the Authority for the purpose of
effecting such re-entry or obtaining possession of the Property. Should the Authority elect to re-
enter as herein provided, the City hereby irrevocably appoints the Authority as the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the City to re-let the Property, or any part thereof, from time to time, either in
the Authority’s name or otherwise, upon such terms and conditions and for such use and period as
the Authority may deem advisable and to remove all persons in possession thereof and all personal
property whatsoever situated upon the Property and to place such personal property in storage in
any warehouse or other suitable place, for the account of and at the expense of the City, and the
City hereby indemnifies and agrees to save harmless the Authority from any costs, loss or damage
whatsoever arising out of, in connection with, or incident to any such re-entry upon and re-letting
of the Property and removal and storage of such property by the Authority or its duly authorized
agents in accordance with the provisions herein contained. The City agrees that the terms of this
Lease Agreement constitute full and sufficient notice of the right of the Authority to re-let the
Property in the event of such re-entry without effecting a surrender of this Lease Agreement, and
further agrees that no acts of the Authority in effecting such re-letting shall constitute a surrender
or termination of this Lease Agreement irrespective of the use or the term for which such re-letting
is made or the terms and conditions of such re-letting, or otherwise, but that, on the contrary, in
the event of such default by the City the right to terminate this Lease Agreement shall vest in the
Authority to be effected in the sole and exclusive manner provided for in subsection (b) of this
448
19
4149-0022-5572.4
Section. The City further agrees to pay the Authority the cost of any alterations or additions to the
Property necessary to place the Property in condition for re-letting immediately upon notice to the
City of the completion and installation of such additions or alterations. The term “re-let” or “re-
letting” as used in this Section shall include, but not be limited to, re-letting by means of the
operation by the Authority of the Property.
(d) The City hereby waives any and all claims for damages caused or which may be
caused by the Authority in re-entering and taking possession of the Property as herein provided
and all claims for damages that may result from the destruction of or injury to the Property and all
claims for damages to or loss of any property belonging to the City, or any other person, that may
be in or upon the Property.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the termination of this Lease
Agreement by the Authority on account of an Event of Default hereunder shall not effect or result
in a termination of the lease of the Property by the City to the Authority pursuant to the Ground
Lease.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies. In addition to the other remedies provided for in Section
8.02 hereof, during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the Authority shall be
entitled to proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in the Authority by this Lease
Agreement or by law. The provisions of this Lease Agreement and the duties of the City and of its
board, officers or employees shall be enforceable by the Authority by mandamus or other
appropriate suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Authority shall have the right to bring the following actions:
(a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its
rights against the City or any board member, officer or employee thereof, and to compel the City
or any such board member, officer or employee to perform or carry out its or his or her duties
under law and the agreements and covenants required to be performed by it or him or her contained
herein;
(b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights
of the Authority; or
(c) by suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, to require the
City and its board, officers and employees to account as if it or they were the trustee or trustees of
an express trust.
Section 8.04. No Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease Agreement, the Authority shall have no right to accelerate Rental Payments upon the
occurrence or continuance of a default or an Event of Default hereunder.
Section 8.05. Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.02 hereof,
no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by
any law. If any statute or rule of law validly shall limit the remedies given to the Authority
449
20
4149-0022-5572.4
hereunder, the Authority nevertheless shall be entitled to whatever remedies are allowable under
any statute or rule of law.
Section 8.06. Waiver. No delay or omission of the Authority to exercise any right or
power arising from the occurrence of any default or Event of Default shall impair any such right
or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by this Lease Agreement to the Authority
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of a
particular default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other default or
Event of Default or of the same default or Event of Default subsequently occurring. The
acceptance of Rental Payments hereunder shall not be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any term,
covenant or condition of this Lease Agreement.
Section 8.07. Attorney’s Fees. In the event the Authority shall prevail in any action
brought to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease Agreement, the City agrees to pay
a reasonable amount as and for attorney’s fees incurred by the Authority in attempting to enforce
any of the remedies available to the Authority hereunder.
Section 8.08. Authority Event of Default; Action on Authority Event of Default. The
failure by the Authority to observe and perform any covenants, agreements or conditions on its
part in this Lease Agreement contained, including under Section 4.05 and Section 4.15, if such
failure shall have continued for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof, specifying such
failure and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority and the
Trustee, by the City, shall constitute an Authority Event of Default under this Lease Agreement;
provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority the failure stated in the notice
can be corrected, but not within such 60 day period, such failure shall not constitute an Authority
Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Authority within such 60 day period and
the Authority shall thereafter diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period
of time. In each and every case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Authority
Event of Default by the Authority hereunder, the City shall have all the rights and remedies
permitted by law.

and obligations of the City and the Authority hereunder and thereunder, may be amended at any

and the Authority hereunder and thereunder, may also be amended at any time by an amendment

(iv) to provide for the substitution or release of a portion of the Property in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.02 hereof;

may deem desirable or necessary, and which shall not materially adversely affect the
interests of the Owners.

or about the Property. To the extent permitted by law, the City shall, at its expense, indemnify and
hold the Authority and its directors, officers, agents and employees harmless against and from any
and all claims by or on behalf of any Person arising from the acquisition, construction, occupation,
use, operation, maintenance, possession, conduct or management of any work done in or about the
Property or from the subletting of any part thereof, including any liability for violation of
conditions, agreements, restrictions, laws, ordinances, or regulations affecting the Property or the
occupancy or use thereof, but excepting the negligence or willful misconduct of the persons or
entity seeking indemnity. In no event shall the Authority be liable for any incidental, indirect,
special or consequential damage in connection with or arising out of this Lease Agreement or the
City’s use of the Property.
Section 10.02. Assignment to Trustee; Effect. The parties hereto understand and agree
that, upon the execution and delivery of the Indenture (which is occurring simultaneously with the

Agreement will be sold, assigned and transferred to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of
the Bonds. The City hereby consents to such sale, assignment and transfer. Upon the execution

Bonds (evidence of the satisfaction of such condition shall be made by a Written Certificate of the
City).
Section 2.05. Procedure for the Issuance of Additional Bonds. Whenever the Authority
and the City shall determine to authorize the issuance of any Additional Bonds, the Authority, the
City and the Trustee shall enter into a Supplemental Indenture satisfying the conditions of
Section 2.04 hereof. Before such Additional Bonds shall be issued, the Authority and the City
shall file or cause to be filed with the Trustee the following:
(a) an Opinion of Counsel setting forth (i) that counsel rendering such opinion has
examined the Supplemental Indenture, the amendment to the Lease Agreement, if any, and the
amendment to the Site Lease, if any, (ii) that the issuance of the Additional Bonds has been duly
authorized by the Authority, (iii) that the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture
and, if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Authority and the City, (iv) that upon execution and delivery of such
Supplemental Indenture and any such amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease,
this Indenture, as amended and supplemented by such Supplemental Indenture, and, if so amended,
the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease, as amended by such amendments, will be valid and
binding obligations of the Authority and the City, and (v) that the execution and delivery of the
Supplemental Indenture and, if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease,
in and of themselves, do not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income
tax purposes of interest on Outstanding Tax-Exempt Bonds;
(b) a Written Certificate of the Authority that the requirements of Section 2.04 hereof
have been met;
(c) a Written Certificate of the City that the requirements of Section 2.04 hereof have
been met, which shall include a certification as to the fair rental value of the Property, after giving
effect to any amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease entered into in connection
with the issuance of the Additional Bonds and taking into account the use of proceeds of such
Additional Bonds;
(d) certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Authority and the
City Council of the City authorizing the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture and,
if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease;
(e) executed counterparts or duly authenticated copies of the Supplemental Indenture
and, if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease, with satisfactory evidence
that any such amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease have been duly recorded in
the appropriate records of the county in which the Property is located;
(f) certified copies of the policies of insurance required by Section 5.01 of the Lease
Agreement or certificates thereof, which shall evidence that the amounts of the insurance required
477
16
4127-3236-0228.4
under subsections (b) and (c) of Section 5.01 of the Lease Agreement have been increased, if
applicable, to cover the amount of such Additional Bonds; and
(g) an CLTA title insurance policy or other appropriate form of policy in the amount
of the Additional Bonds of the type and with the endorsements described in Section 5.04 of the
Lease Agreement.
Upon the delivery to the Trustee of the foregoing instruments and upon the Trustee’s being
satisfied from an examination of said instruments that all of the documents required by this
Section have been delivered, the Trustee shall authenticate such Additional Bonds, and shall
deliver such Additional Bonds to, or upon the request of, the Authority.
Section 2.06. Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be executed in the name and on
behalf of the Authority with the manual or facsimile signature of the Chair of the Board of
Directors of the Authority attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary of the
Authority. The Bonds shall then be delivered to the Trustee for authentication by it. In case any
of such officers of the Authority who shall have signed or attested any of the Bonds shall cease to
be such officers before the Bonds so signed or attested shall have been authenticated or delivered
by the Trustee, or issued by the Authority, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated,
delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall be as binding upon
the Authority as though those who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers,
and also any Bonds may be signed and attested on behalf of the Authority by such Persons as at
the actual date of execution of such Bonds shall be the proper officers of the Authority although
at the nominal date of such Bonds any such Person shall not have been such officer of the
Authority.
Section 2.07. Authentication of Bonds. Only such of the Bonds as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form as that set forth in Exhibit A hereto for the
Series 2020 Bonds, manually executed by the Trustee, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such certificate of or on behalf of the Trustee shall
be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly executed, authenticated
and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.08. Registration Books. The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
Office of the Trustee, sufficient records for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds,
which shall be available for inspection and copying by the Authority and the City upon reasonable
notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on such
records, the ownership of the Bonds as herein provided.
Section 2.09. Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. Any Bond may, in accordance with its
terms, be transferred upon the Registration Books by the Person in whose name it is registered, in
person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation,
accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable to
the Trustee. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered for transfer, the Authority shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver a new Bond or Bonds of the same
Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount, in any Authorized Denomination. The
478
17
4127-3236-0228.4
Trustee shall require the Owner requesting such transfer to pay any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer.
The Bonds may be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal
amount of Bonds of the same Series and maturity of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee
shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange.
The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any transfer or exchange of Bonds of a Series
pursuant to this Section during the period commencing on the date five days before the date of
selection of Bonds of such Series for redemption and ending on the date of mailing notice of such
redemption, or with respect to any Bonds of such Series selected for redemption.
Section 2.10. Book-Entry System. (a) Prior to the issuance of a Series of Bonds, the
Authority may provide that such Series of Bonds shall initially be issued as Book-Entry Bonds,
and in such event, the Bonds of such Series for each maturity date shall be in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond (which may be typewritten); provided, however, that if different
CUSIP numbers are assigned to Bonds of a Series maturing in a single year or, if Bonds of the
same Series maturing in a single year are issued with different interest rates, additional bond
certificates shall be prepared for each such maturity. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each
such Bond of such Series shall be registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Nominee,
as nominee of the Depository. The Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds shall initially
be issued as Book-Entry Bonds.
Payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, any Book-Entry Bond
registered in the name of the Nominee shall be made on the applicable payment date by wire
transfer of New York clearing house or equivalent next day funds or by wire transfer of same day
funds to the account of the Nominee. Such payments shall be made to the Nominee at the address
which is, on the Record Date, shown for the Nominee in the Registration Books.
(b) With respect to Book-Entry Bonds, the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall
have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Person on behalf of which such a
Participant holds an interest in such Book-Entry Bonds. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in Book-Entry Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any
Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any
notice with respect to Book-Entry Bonds, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection by
the Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in Book-Entry Bonds of a maturity to
be redeemed in the event such Book-Entry Bonds are redeemed in part, (iv) the payment to any
Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any
amount with respect to principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on Book-Entry Bonds, or
(v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner.
(c) The Authority, the City and the Trustee may treat and consider the Person in whose
name each Book-Entry Bond is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute Owner of such
Book-Entry Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on
479
18
4127-3236-0228.4
such Bond, for the purpose of selecting any Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed, for the
purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Book-Entry Bond,
for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Book-Entry Bond, for the purpose of
obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Owners and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) In the event of a redemption of all or a portion of a Book-Entry Bond, the
Depository, in its discretion, (i) may request the Trustee to authenticate and deliver a new Book-
Entry Bond, or (ii) if DTC is the sole Owner of such Book-Entry Bond, shall make an appropriate
notation on the Book-Entry Bond indicating the date and amounts of the reduction in principal
thereof resulting from such redemption, except in the case of final payment, in which case such
Book-Entry Bond must be presented to the Trustee prior to payment.
(e) The Trustee shall pay all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the
Book-Entry Bonds only to or “upon the order of” (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial
Code as adopted in the State of California) the respective Owner, as shown in the Registration
Books, or his respective attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the obligations with respect to payment of principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on the Book-Entry Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid. No Person other than an Owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive an
authenticated Book-Entry Bond. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Owners, the Authority,
the City and the Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect
to Record Dates, the word Nominee in this Indenture shall refer to such nominee of the Depository.
(f) In order to qualify the Book-Entry Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system,
the Authority shall execute and deliver to the Depository a Letter of Representations. The
execution and delivery of a Letter of Representations shall not in any way impose upon the
Authority, the City or the Trustee any obligation whatsoever with respect to Persons having
interests in such Book-Entry Bonds other than the Owners, as shown on the Registration Books.
Such Letter of Representations may provide the time, form, content and manner of transmission,
of notices to the Depository. In addition to the execution and delivery of a Letter of
Representations by the Authority, the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall take such other
actions, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as are reasonably necessary to qualify Book-Entry
Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program.
(g) In the event the Authority determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds and that such Bonds should therefore be
made available and notifies the Depository and the Trustee of such determination, the Depository
will notify the Participants of the availability through the Depository of certificated Bonds. In
such event, the Trustee shall transfer and exchange certificated Bonds as requested by the
Depository and any other Owners in appropriate amounts. In the event (i) the Depository
determines not to continue to act as securities depository for Book-Entry Bonds, or (ii) the
Depository shall no longer so act and gives notice to the Trustee of such determination, then the
Authority shall discontinue the Book-Entry system with the Depository. If the Authority
determines to replace the Depository with another qualified securities depository, the Authority
shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered Bond of the
480
19
4127-3236-0228.4
appropriate Series for each maturity date of such Book-Entry Bonds, registered in the name of
such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the Authority fails
to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the Depository, then the Book-Entry
Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books in the name of
the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners transferring or
exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.09 and
2.11 hereof. Whenever the Depository requests the Authority to do so, the Authority shall
cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make
available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Bonds to any Participant
having Book-Entry Bonds credited to its account with the Depository, and (ii) to arrange for
another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Bonds.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, if DTC is the
sole Owner of the Bonds of a Series, so long as any Book-Entry Bond of such Series is registered
in the name of the Nominee, all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on
such Book-Entry Bond and all notices with respect to such Book-Entry Bond shall be made and
given, respectively, as provided in the Letter of Representations or as otherwise instructed by the
Depository.
(i) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Owners
pursuant to this Indenture by the Authority, the City or the Trustee, with respect to any consent or
other action to be taken by Owners of Book-Entry Bonds, the Trustee shall establish a record date
for such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible. Notice to the Depository
shall be given only when DTC is the sole Owner of the Bonds of a Series.
Section 2.11. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become
mutilated, the Authority, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Trustee
shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of the same Series and maturity in a like
aggregate principal amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the
Trustee shall be canceled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of, the Authority. If any Bond
shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to
the Trustee and, if such evidence and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee shall be given, the
Authority, at the expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate
and deliver, a new Bond of the same Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount in
lieu of and in replacement for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have
matured or shall have been selected for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Bond, the
Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof). The Authority may require payment by the
Owner of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each replacement Bond issued under
this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any
Bond of a Series issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond of such Series
alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
on the part of the Authority whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be
at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all
other Bonds of such Series secured by this Indenture.
481
20
4127-3236-0228.4
Section 2.12. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds of a Series may be issued in temporary form
exchangeable for definitive Bonds of such Series when ready for delivery. Any temporary Bonds
may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such Authorized Denominations as may
be determined by the Authority, shall be in fully registered form without coupons and may contain
such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary
Bond shall be executed by the Authority and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions
and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Authority issues temporary
Bonds of a Series it shall execute and deliver definitive Bonds of such Series as promptly thereafter
as practicable, and thereupon the temporary Bonds of such Series may be surrendered for
cancellation at the Office of the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of such Series
and maturities in Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds of such
Series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds of such Series
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

defect in such notice, shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds
or the cessation of accrual of interest thereon from and after the date fixed for redemption. With
respect to any notice of any optional redemption of Bonds of a Series, unless at the time such
notice is given the Bonds to be redeemed shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning
of Section 9.02 hereof, such notice shall state that such redemption is conditional upon receipt by
the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys that, together with other
available amounts held by the Trustee, are sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, the Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received
said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Authority shall not be required to redeem such
Bonds. In the event a notice of redemption of Bonds contains such a condition and such moneys
are not so received, the redemption of Bonds as described in the conditional notice of redemption
shall not be made and the Trustee shall, within a reasonable time after the date on which such
redemption was to occur, give notice to the Persons and in the manner in which the notice of
redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that there shall be no redemption
of Bonds pursuant to such notice of redemption.
Section 3.06. Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon surrender of any Bonds redeemed in
part only, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner
thereof, at the expense of the Authority, a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series in Authorized
Denominations equal in aggregate principal amount representing the unredeemed portion of the
Bonds surrendered.
Section 3.07. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid,
and moneys for the redemption price, and the interest to the applicable date fixed for redemption,
having been set aside, the Bonds shall become due and payable on said date and, upon presentation
and surrender thereof at the Office of the Trustee, said Bonds shall be paid at the redemption price
thereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid to said date.
If, on said date fixed for redemption, moneys for the redemption price of all the Bonds to
be redeemed, together with interest to said date, shall be held by the Trustee so as to be available
therefor on such date, and, if notice of redemption thereof shall have been mailed as aforesaid and
not canceled, then, from and after said date, interest on said Bonds shall cease to accrue and
485
24
4127-3236-0228.4
become payable. All moneys held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the redemption of Bonds shall
be held in trust for the account of the Owners of the Bonds so to be redeemed without liability to
such Owners for interest thereon.
All Bonds paid at maturity or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to the provisions hereof
shall be canceled upon surrender thereof and destroyed.

PLEDGE AND ASSIGNMENT; FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS
Section 4.01. Pledge and Assignment. Subject only to the provisions of this Indenture
permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
all of the Lease Revenues and all amounts on deposit from time to time in the funds and accounts
established hereunder (other than the Rebate Fund) are hereby pledged to the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds as provided herein, and the Lease Revenues shall not be
used for any other purpose while any of the Bonds remain Outstanding. Said pledge shall constitute
a first lien on such assets.
In order to secure the pledge of the Lease Revenues contained in this Section, the Authority
hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Trustee, irrevocably and absolutely, without recourse, for
the benefit of the Owners, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Site Lease and the Lease
Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to receive Base Rental Payments and the right
to exercise any remedies provided in the Lease Agreement in the event of a default by the City
thereunder; provided, however, that the Authority shall retain the rights to indemnification and to
payment or reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses under the Lease Agreement. The
Trustee hereby accepts said assignment for the benefit of the Owners, subject to the provisions of
this Indenture.
The Trustee shall be entitled to and shall receive all of the Base Rental Payments, and any
Base Rental Payments collected or received by the Authority shall be deemed to be held, and to
have been collected or received, by the Authority as agent of the Trustee and shall forthwith be
paid by the Authority to the Trustee.
Section 4.02. Costs of Issuance Fund. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a
separate fund designated the “Costs of Issuance Fund.” On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deposit in the Costs of Issuance Fund the amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof.
(b) The moneys in the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the
Trustee from time to time to pay Costs of Issuance upon submission to the Trustee of a Written
Request of the City substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Upon receipt of each
such Written Request of the City, the Trustee shall pay the amount set forth in such Written
Request as directed by the terms thereof. Each such Written Request of the City shall be sufficient
evidence to the Trustee of the facts stated therein and the Trustee shall have no duty to confirm the
accuracy of such facts.
(c) On the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall transfer any
amounts then remaining in the Costs of Issuance Fund to one or more accounts or subaccounts
within the Payment Fund as directed in a Written Request of the City, and upon such transfer the
Costs of Issuance Fund shall be closed.
(d) If the Costs of Issuance Fund has been closed in accordance with the provisions
hereof, the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be reopened and reestablished by the Trustee in connection
487
26
4127-3236-0228.4
with the issuance of any Additional Bonds, if so provided in the Supplemental Indenture pursuant
to which such Additional Bonds are issued. There shall be deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund
the portion, if any, of the proceeds of the sale of any Additional Bonds required to be deposited
therein under the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Additional Bonds are issued.
Section 4.03. Payment Fund. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate fund
designated the “Payment Fund.” Within the Payment Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain
a separate account designated the “Series 2020 Interest Account” and a separate account
designated the “Series 2020 Principal Account.” Upon the issuance of Additional Bonds, the
Trustee shall also establish and maintain, within the Payment Fund, a separate Interest Account
and a separate Principal Account for each Series of Additional Bonds.
(b) All Lease Revenues received by the Trustee shall be deposited by the Trustee in the
Payment Fund; provided, however, that Net Proceeds, other than those constituting proceeds of
rental interruption insurance received with respect to the Property, shall not be deposited in the
Payment Fund but, rather, shall be applied as provided in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 hereof, as
applicable. There shall additionally be deposited in the applicable Interest Account and Principal
Account of the Payment Fund amounts transferred from the related Reserve Account pursuant to
subsection (c) of Section 4.05 hereof.
(c) The Trustee, on each Interest Payment Date, shall transfer from the Payment Fund
to each Interest Account an amount equal to the interest on the related Series of Bonds coming due
on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that such amount is
available for such Series of Bonds in any capitalized interest subaccount established pursuant to a
Supplemental Indenture on such Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall, instead, transfer such
amount from such capitalized interest subaccount to the related Interest Account on such Interest
Payment Date. Moneys in each Interest Account shall be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for
the purpose of paying interest on the related Series of Bonds as and when due and payable.
(d) The Trustee, on each Principal Payment Date, shall transfer from the Payment Fund
to each Principal Account an amount equal to the principal of the related Series of Bonds, including
principal due and payable by reason of mandatory sinking fund redemption, coming due on such
date. Moneys in each Principal Account shall be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for the purpose
of paying principal of the related Series of Bonds, including principal due and payable by reason
of mandatory sinking fund redemption, as and when due and payable.
Section 4.04. Redemption Fund. [The Trustee shall establish and maintain a special fund
designated the “Redemption Fund.” The Trustee shall deposit in the Redemption Fund any
amounts received from the City in connection with the City’s exercise of its right pursuant to
Section 6.02 of the Lease Agreement to cause Bonds to be optionally redeemed. Additionally, the
Trustee shall deposit in the Redemption Fund any amounts required to be deposited therein
pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 hereof. Amounts in the Redemption Fund shall be
disbursed therefrom by the Trustee for the payment of the redemption price of, and accrued interest
on, Bonds redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof.]
Section 4.05. Reserve Fund. (a) [The Series 2020 Bonds shall not be secured by any
Reserve Account.] When provided for in a Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall establish and
488
27
4127-3236-0228.4
maintain a special fund designated the “Reserve Fund.” Within the Reserve Fund, the Trustee,
when provided for in a Supplemental Indenture, shall establish and maintain a separate account
designated the “Common Reserve Account” and one or more additional Reserve Accounts, each
of which may secure one or more Series of Bonds pursuant hereto and pursuant to the
Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance thereof. In connection with the issuance of
Additional Bonds, there shall be deposited in the Common Reserve Account or any other Reserve
Account established and/or maintained for such Additional Bonds, as applicable, the amount
required to be deposited therein under the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such
Additional Bonds are issued.
(b) The City may substitute a Reserve Facility for all or part of the moneys on deposit
in any Reserve Account by depositing such Reserve Facility with the Trustee, provided that, at the
time of such substitution, the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account, together with the
amount available under all Reserve Facilities on deposit in such Reserve Account, shall be at least
equal to the Reserve Requirement for such Reserve Account. Moneys for which a Reserve Facility
has been substituted as provided herein shall be transferred, at the election of the City, to the
Redemption Fund for the purpose of redeeming the related Series of Bonds or, upon receipt of an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion of
interest on Outstanding Tax-Exempt Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, to
the City to be applied to the payment of capital costs of the City. Amounts on deposit in any
Reserve Account which were not derived from payments under any Reserve Facility credited to
such Reserve Account to satisfy a portion of the Reserve Requirement for such Reserve Account
shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee prior to using and withdrawing any amounts derived
from payments under such Reserve Facility. In order to accomplish such use and withdrawal of
such amounts not derived from payments under any such Reserve Facility, the Trustee shall, as
and to the extent necessary, liquidate any investments purchased with such amounts.
(c) In the event that, on the second Business Day prior to a date on which the Trustee
is to transfer money from the Payment Fund to the Interest Accounts pursuant to subsection (c) of
Section 4.03 hereof or to the Principal Accounts pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 4.03 hereof,
amounts in the Payment Fund are insufficient for such purpose, the Trustee shall withdraw from
each Reserve Account, to the extent of any funds therein, the amount of the insufficiency of the
related Series of Bonds, and shall transfer any amounts so withdrawn first to the related Interest
Account and then to the related Principal Account. If the amount on deposit in any Reserve
Account is not sufficient to make such transfer, the Trustee shall make a claim under any available
Reserve Facility, in accordance with the provisions thereof, in order to obtain an amount sufficient
to allow the Trustee to make such transfer as and when required.
(d) In the event of any transfer from a Reserve Account or the making of any claim
under a Reserve Facility, the Trustee shall, within two Business Days thereafter, provide written
notice to the Authority and the City of the amount and the date of such transfer or claim; provided,
however, that such notice need not be provided if such transfer is made pursuant to subsection (f)
or subsection (g) of this Section.
(e) If the sum of the amount on deposit in any Reserve Account, plus the amount
available under all available Reserve Facilities held for such Reserve Account, is less than the
Reserve Fund Requirement for such Reserve Account, the first of Base Rental Payments thereafter
489
28
4127-3236-0228.4
received from the City under the Lease Agreement and not needed to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds on the next Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date shall be used,
first, to reinstate the amounts available under any Reserve Facilities that have been drawn upon
and, second, to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve Accounts, so that the amount
available under all available Reserve Facilities, when added to the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Fund, shall equal the Reserve Requirement for each Reserve Account; provided, however,
that such Base Rental Payments shall be allocated among all Reserve Accounts ratably without
preference or priority of any kind, according to each Reserve Account’s percentage share of the
total deficiencies in all Reserve Accounts.
(f) If, as a result of the payment of principal of or interest on any Series of Bonds, the
Reserve Requirement applicable to such Series of Bonds is reduced, amounts on deposit in the
applicable Reserve Account in excess of such reduced Reserve Requirement shall be transferred
to the related Interest Account(s) and Principal Account(s) of the Payment Fund as directed in a
Written Request of the City.
(g) On any date on which Bonds of a Series are defeased in accordance with
Section 9.02 hereof, the Trustee shall, if so directed in a Written Request of the City, transfer any
moneys in the related Reserve Account in excess of the applicable Reserve Requirement resulting
from such defeasance to the entity or fund so specified in such Written Request of the City, to be
applied to such defeasance.
(h) Moneys, if any, on deposit in a Reserve Account shall be withdrawn and applied
by the Trustee for the final payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds secured by such
Reserve Account.
Section 4.06. Rebate Fund. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a special fund
designated the “Rebate Fund.” There shall be deposited in the Rebate Fund such amounts as are
required to be deposited therein pursuant to the Tax Certificate, as specified in a Written Request
of the Authority or a Written Request of the City. All money at any time deposited in the Rebate
Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust, to the extent required to satisfy the Rebate Requirement,
for payment to the United States of America. Notwithstanding defeasance of the Bonds pursuant
to Article IX hereof or anything to the contrary contained herein, all amounts required to be
deposited into or on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be governed exclusively by this Section and
by the Tax Certificate (which is incorporated herein by reference). The Trustee shall be deemed
conclusively to have complied with such provisions if it follows the written directions of the
Authority or the City, and shall have no liability or responsibility to enforce compliance by the
Authority or the City with the terms of the Tax Certificate. The Trustee may conclusively rely
upon the determinations, calculations and certifications of the Authority or the City required by
the Tax Certificate. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to independently make any
calculation or determination or to review the calculations of the Authority or the City.
(b) Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after payment in full of all of the Bonds
and after payment of any amounts described in this Section, shall, upon receipt by the Trustee of
a Written Request of the City, be withdrawn by the Trustee and remitted to the City.

Section 4.07. Investments. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any moneys held by
the Trustee in the funds and accounts established hereunder shall be invested by the Trustee upon
the Written Request of the City, received at least two Business Days prior to the investment date,
only in Permitted Investments, and in the absence of such direction shall be invested by the Trustee
in Permitted Investments described in clause ([__]) of the definition thereof; provided, however,
that any such investment shall be made by the Trustee only if, prior to the date on which such
investment is to be made, the Trustee shall have received a Written Request of the City specifying
a specific money market fund that satisfies the requirements of said paragraph in which such
investment is to be made and, if no such Written Request is so received, the Trustee shall hold
such moneys uninvested. The Trustee may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition
of any such investment. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss suffered in
connection with any such investment made by it under the terms of and in accordance with this
Section. The Trustee shall sell or present for redemption any obligations so purchased whenever
it shall be necessary in order to provide moneys to meet any payment of the funds so invested, and
the Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any losses resulting from any such investment
sold or presented for redemption. Permitted Investments that are registerable securities shall be
registered in the name of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any investment
directions from the City as conclusive certification to the Trustee that the investments described
therein are permitted by the general laws of the State of California applicable to investments by
cities.
(b) Investments purchased with funds on deposit in the Payment Fund shall mature not
later than the payment date immediately succeeding the investment. Investments purchased with
funds on deposit in the Redemption Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments described in
clause (1)(a) of the definition thereof that mature on or prior to the redemption date on which such
funds are to be applied to the redemption of Bonds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, investments purchased with funds on deposit in any Reserve Account of the
Reserve Fund shall have an average aggregate weighted term to maturity of not greater than
five years; provided, however, that if such investments may be redeemed at par so as to be
available on each Interest Payment Date, any amount in such Reserve Account may be invested in
such redeemable Permitted Investments maturing on any date on or prior to the final maturity date
of the Bonds.
(c) Investments (except investment agreements) in any fund or account established
hereunder shall be valued, exclusive of accrued interest (i) not less often than annually nor more
often than monthly, and (ii) upon any draw upon any Reserve Account. All investments of
amounts deposited in any fund or account established hereunder shall be valued at the market value
thereof.
(d) Any interest or profits received with respect to investments held in any of the funds
or accounts established under this Indenture (other than any Reserve Account) shall be retained
therein. Any interest or profits received with respect to investments held in a Reserve Account
shall be transferred to the related Interest Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
transfer or disbursement shall be made from a Reserve Account only if and to the extent that, after
such transfer, the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account, together with amounts available to
be drawn on all Reserve Facilities held for such Reserve Account, if any, is at least equal to the
Reserve Requirement for such Reserve Account.

(e) The Authority and the City acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the
Comptroller of the Currency grant the Authority or the City the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, at no additional cost, to the extent permitted
by law, the Authority and the City specifically waives receipt of such confirmations. The Trustee
shall furnish the Authority and the City periodic transaction statements that include detail for all
investment transactions made by the Trustee hereunder.

NET PROCEEDS AND TITLE INSURANCE; COVENANTS
Section 5.01. Application of Net Proceeds. If the Property or any portion thereof shall
be damaged or destroyed, subject to the further requirements of this Section, the City shall, as
expeditiously as possible, continuously and diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted the
repair or replacement thereof, unless the City elects not to repair or replace the Property or the
affected portion thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.
The Net Proceeds of any insurance (other than Net Proceeds of rental interruption
insurance), including the proceeds of any self-insurance, received on account of any damage or
destruction of the Property or a portion thereof shall as soon as possible be deposited with the
Trustee and be held by the Trustee in a special account and made available for and, to the extent
necessary, shall be applied to the cost of repair or replacement of the Property or the affected
portion thereof upon receipt of a Written Request of the City, together with invoices therefor.
Pending such application, such proceeds may, pursuant to a Written Request of the City, be
invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments that mature not later than such times as moneys
are expected to be needed to pay such costs of repair or replacement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall, within 60 days of the occurrence of the event
of damage or destruction, notify the Trustee in writing as to whether the City intends to replace or
repair the Property or the portions of the Property which were damaged or destroyed. If the City
does intend to replace or repair the Property or portions thereof, the City shall deposit with the
Trustee the full amount of any insurance deductible to be credited to the special account referred
to above.
If such damage, destruction or loss was such that there resulted a substantial interference
with the City’s right to the use or occupancy of the Property and an abatement in whole or in part
of Rental Payments results from such damage or destruction pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Lease
Agreement, then the City shall be required either to (a) apply sufficient funds from the insurance
proceeds and other legally available funds to the replacement or repair of the Property or the
portions thereof which have been damaged to the condition which existed prior to such damage or
destruction, or (b) apply sufficient funds from the insurance proceeds and other legally available
funds to the redemption, pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof (i) of all of the Outstanding Bonds, or
(ii) of such portion of the Outstanding Bonds as shall result in the remaining, non-abated Base
Rental Payments being sufficient to pay, as and when due, the principal of and interest on the
Bonds that will remain Outstanding after such redemption. If the City is required to apply funds
from the insurance proceeds and other legally available funds to the redemption of Bonds in
accordance with clause (b) above, the City shall direct the Trustee, in a Written Request of the
City, to transfer the funds to be applied to such redemption to the Redemption Fund and the Trustee
shall transfer such funds to the Redemption Fund. Any proceeds of any insurance, including the
proceeds of any self-insurance remaining after the portion of the Property which was damaged or
destroyed is restored to and made available to the City in substantially the same condition and
annual fair rental value as that which existed prior to the damage or destruction as required by
clause (a) above, or the redemption of Bonds as required by clause (b) above, in each case as
evidenced by a Written Certificate of the City to such effect, shall be deposited in the Reserve
493
32
4127-3236-0228.4
Accounts, ratably without preference or priority of any kind according to each Reserve Account’s
percentage share of the total deficiencies in all Reserve Accounts, to the extent that the amounts
therein are less than the applicable Reserve Requirement. If the City is not required to replace or
repair the Property, or the affected portion thereof, as set forth in clause (a) above, or to use such
amounts to redeem Bonds as set forth in clause (b) above, then such proceeds shall be deposited
in the Reserve Accounts, ratably without preference or priority of any kind according to each
Reserve Account’s percentage share of the total deficiencies in all Reserve Accounts, to the extent
that the amounts therein are less than the applicable Reserve Requirement. Any amounts not
required to be so deposited into the Reserve Accounts shall, if there is first delivered to the Trustee
a Written Certificate of the City to the effect that the annual fair rental value of the Property after
such damage or destruction, and after any repairs or replacements made as a result of such damage
or destruction, is at least equal to 100% of the maximum amount of Base Rental Payments
becoming due under the Lease Agreement in the then current Rental Period or any subsequent
Rental Period and the fair replacement value of the Property after such damage or destruction is at
least equal to the sum of the then unpaid principal components of Base Rental Payments, be paid
to the City to be used for any lawful purpose.
The proceeds of any award in eminent domain shall be deposited by the Trustee in the
Redemption Fund and applied to the redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof.
Section 5.02. Title Insurance. Net Proceeds of any policy of title insurance received by
the Trustee in respect of the Property shall be applied and disbursed by the Trustee as follows:
(a) if the City determines that the title defect giving rise to such proceeds has
not substantially interfered with its use and occupancy of the Property and will not result
in an abatement of Rental Payments payable by the City under the Lease Agreement, such
proceeds shall, upon Written Request of the City, be remitted to the City and used for any
lawful purpose thereof; or
(b) if the City determines that the title defect giving rise to such proceeds has
substantially interfered with its use and occupancy of the Property and will result in an
abatement in whole or in part of Rental Payments payable by the City under the Lease
Agreement, then the City shall, in a Written Request of the City, direct the Trustee to, and
the Trustee shall immediately deposit such proceeds in the Redemption Fund and such
proceeds shall be applied to the redemption of Bonds in the manner provided in
Section 3.01 hereof.
Section 5.03. Punctual Payment. The Authority shall punctually pay or cause to be paid
the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, in strict conformity with the terms
of the Bonds and of this Indenture, according to the true intent and meaning thereof, but only out
of the Base Rental Payments and other assets pledged for such payment as provided in this
Indenture and received by the Authority or the Trustee.

jurisdiction or control, as a condition of the continued enjoyment of each and every franchise, right
or privilege now owned or hereafter acquired by them, including their right to exist and carry on
their respective businesses, to the end that such franchises, rights and privileges shall be
maintained and preserved and shall not become abandoned, forfeited or in any manner impaired.
Section 5.07. Other Liens. The City shall keep the Property and all parts thereof free
from judgments and materialmen’s and mechanics’ liens and free from all claims, demands,
encumbrances and other liens of whatever nature or character, and free from any claim or liability
which materially impairs the City in conducting its business or utilizing the Property, and the
Trustee at its option (after first giving the City thirty days’ written notice to comply therewith and
failure of the City to so comply within such thirty-day period) may defend against any and all
actions or proceedings, or may pay or compromise any claim or demand asserted in any such
actions or proceedings; provided, however, that, in defending against any such actions or
proceedings or in paying or compromising any such claims or demands, the Trustee shall not in
any event be deemed to have waived or released the City from liability for or on account of any of
its agreements and covenants contained herein, or from its obligation hereunder to perform such
agreements and covenants. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any determination
made in good faith to proceed or decline to defend, pay or compromise any such claim or demand.
So long as any Bonds are Outstanding, none of the Trustee, the Authority or the City shall
create or suffer to be created any pledge of or lien on the amounts on deposit in any of the funds
or accounts created hereunder, other than the pledge and lien hereof.
The Authority and the Trustee shall not encumber the Property other than in accordance
with the Site Lease, the Lease Agreement and this Indenture.
Section 5.08. Prosecution and Defense of Suits. The City shall promptly, upon request
of the Trustee or any Owner, take such action from time to time as may be necessary or proper to
remedy or cure any cloud upon or defect in the title to the Property or any part thereof, whether
now existing or hereafter developing, shall prosecute all actions, suits or other proceedings as may
be appropriate for such purpose and shall indemnify and save the Trustee and every Owner
harmless from all cost, damage, expense or loss, including attorneys’ fees, which they or any of
them may incur by reason of any such cloud, defect, action, suit or other proceeding.
Section 5.09. Accounting Records and Statements. The Trustee shall keep proper
accounting records in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions of the

accounting records shall be available for inspection by the Authority and the City at reasonable

appropriate county recorder, the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease, or memoranda thereof, and
a memorandum of the assignment of the Authority’s right, title and interest in and to the Site Lease
and the Lease Agreement pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof.
Section 5.11. Tax Covenants. (a) Neither the Authority nor the City shall take any action ,
or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take such action would adversely affect the
exclusion from gross income of interest on the Series 2020A Bonds under Section 103 of the Code.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Authority and the City shall comply
with the requirements of the Tax Certificate, which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth
herein. This covenant shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Series 2020A Bonds.
(b) In the event that at any time the Authority or the City is of the opinion that for

any moneys held by the Trustee in any of the funds or accounts established hereunder, the
Authority or the City shall so instruct the Trustee in writing, and the Trustee shall take such action
as may be necessary in accordance with such instructions.
(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section, if the Authority or the City shall
provide to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any specified action required under
this Section is no longer required or that some further or different action is required to maintain
the exclusion from federal income tax of interest on the Series 2020A Bonds, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the requirements of this Section and of the
Tax Certificate, and the covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.
Section 5.12. Continuing Disclosure. The City shall comply with and carry out all of the
provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee, at the written
direction of any Participating Underwriter or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Series 2020 Bonds, shall, upon receipt of indemnification reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, or any holder or Beneficial Owner of the Series 2020 Bonds may, take

reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in the Trustee and the Owners all

upon them hereby or by the Site Lease or the Lease Agreement.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 6.01. Events of Default. The occurrence, from time to time, of any one or more
of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture:
(a) failure to pay any installment of principal of any Bond as and when the same shall
become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption
or otherwise;
(b) failure to pay any installment of interest on any Bond as and when the same shall
become due and payable;
(c) a Lease Default Event shall have occurred and be continuing;
(d) failure by the Authority to observe and perform any of the other covenants,
agreements or conditions on its part in this Indenture or in the Bonds contained, if such failure
shall have continued for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure
and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority by the Trustee, the
City or the Owners of not less than 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time
Outstanding; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, the failure
stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such 30 day period, such failure shall not
constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Authority within such 30 day
period and the Authority shall thereafter diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a
reasonable period of time;
(e) failure by the City to observe and perform any of the covenants, agreements or
conditions on its part in this Indenture contained, if such failure shall have continued for a period
of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, the Authority or the Owners of not less
than 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; provided, however,
that if, in the reasonable opinion of the City, the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but
not within such 30 day period, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective
action is instituted by the City within such 30 day period and the City shall thereafter diligently
and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period of time; or
(f) the Authority or the City shall commence a voluntary case under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any substitute or successor statute.
Section 6.02. Action on Default. In each and every case during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Owners of not less than a majority
of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding (and upon indemnification of the
Trustee to its reasonable satisfaction as provided herein), shall, upon notice in writing to the
Authority and the City, exercise any of the remedies granted to the Authority under the Lease
Agreement and, in addition, take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or
desirable to protect and enforce any of the rights vested in the Trustee or the Owners by this
Indenture or by the Bonds, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the
498
37
4127-3236-0228.4
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal or
equitable right, including any one or more of the remedies set forth in Section 6.03 hereof.
Section 6.03. Other Remedies of the Trustee. During the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Trustee shall have the right:
(a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its
rights against the Authority or the City or any member, director, officer or employee thereof, and
to compel the Authority or the City or any such member, director, officer or employee to perform
or carry out its or his or her duties under law and the agreements and covenants required to be
performed by it or him or her contained herein or in the Bonds;
(b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights
of the Trustee or the Owners; or
(c) by suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, to require the
Authority or the City, or both, to account as if it or they were the trustee or trustees of an express
trust.
Section 6.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise and may be exercised without exhausting
and without regard to any other remedy conferred by any law. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.05. Application of Amounts After Default. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, all Lease Revenues and any other funds thereafter received by the Trustee under
any of the provisions of this Indenture shall be applied by the Trustee as follows and in the
following order:
(a) to the payment of any expenses necessary in the opinion of the Trustee to protect
the interests of the Owners and payment of reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) incurred in and about the performance
of its powers and duties under this Indenture;
(b) to the payment of all amounts then due for interest on the Bonds, ratably without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts of interest on such Bonds due and
payable, with interest on the overdue interest at the rate borne by the respective Bonds; and
(c) to the payment of all amounts then due for principal of the Bonds, ratably without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts of principal of the Bonds due and
payable, with interest on the overdue principal at the rate borne by the respective Bonds.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amounts held in a Reserve Account
shall be applied by the Trustee only after the application of all Lease Revenues and other funds
pursuant to subsections (a), (b) and (c) above and shall only be applied as provided by subsections
499
38
4127-3236-0228.4
(a), (b) and (c) above toward payments related to the Series of Bonds secured by such Reserve
Account.
Section 6.06. Power of Trustee to Enforce. All rights of action under this Indenture or
the Bonds or otherwise may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit,
action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit and protection of the Owners of such Bonds, subject to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 6.07. Bond Owners Direction of Proceedings. Anything in this Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
then Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing
executed and delivered to the Trustee, and upon indemnification of the Trustee to its reasonable
satisfaction, to direct the method of conducting all remedial proceedings taken by the Trustee
hereunder; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with
law and the provisions of this Indenture, and, provided, further, that the Trustee shall have the right
to decline to follow any such direction which in the opinion of the Trustee would be unjustly
prejudicial to Owners not parties to such direction.
Section 6.08. Limitation on Bond Owners’ Right to Sue. No Owner of any Bond shall
have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for the protection or
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, the Act or any other applicable law with
respect to such Bonds, unless (a) such Owner shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, (b) the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to exercise the
powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such suit, action or proceeding in its own name, (c) such
Owner or said Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and (d) the Trustee shall have refused
or omitted to comply with such request for a period of 60 days after such written request shall have
been received by, and said tender of indemnity shall have been made to, the Trustee.
Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared,
in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of any remedy hereunder
or under law; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners shall have any right in
any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of this
Indenture or the rights of any other Owners, or to enforce any right under the Bonds, this Indenture,
the Act or other applicable law with respect to the Bonds, except in the manner herein provided,
and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any such right shall be instituted, had and
maintained in the manner herein provided and for the benefit and protection of all Owners, subject
to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 6.09. Termination of Proceedings. If any action, proceeding or suit to enforce
any right or to exercise any remedy is abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee or any
Owner, then, subject to any such adverse determination, the Trustee, such Owner, the Authority
and the City shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such action,
proceeding or suit had not been brought or taken. In case any proceedings taken by the Trustee or
any one or more Owners on account of any Event of Default shall have been discontinued or
500
39
4127-3236-0228.4
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or any Owner,
then in every such case the Trustee, such Owner, the Authority and the City, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
severally and respectively, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Trustee, the Owners,
the Authority and the City shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 6.10. No Waiver of Default. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Owner
to exercise any right or power arising upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by this Indenture to the
Trustee or to the Owners may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.

4127-3236-0228.4
ARTICLE VII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 7.01. Duties and Liabilities of Trustee. The Trustee shall, prior to an Event of
Default, and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform
such duties and only such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Indenture. The
Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default which has not been cured or waived,
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
Section 7.02. Removal and Resignation of the Trustee. The Authority and the City may
by an instrument in writing, remove the Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, and shall remove the
Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto if at any time (a) requested to do so by
an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the Owners of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding (or their attorneys duly authorized
in writing), or (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the following sentence,
and shall appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee shall be a commercial
bank with trust powers having a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 (or be part of a bank holding company with a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
If such bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the
purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published.
The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the
Authority and the City and by giving notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such resignation
to the Owners at their addresses appearing on the Registration Books. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Authority and the City shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an
instrument in writing; provided, however, that in the event the Authority and the City do not
appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days following receipt of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the City, petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction
to appoint a successor Trustee. Any resignation or removal of a Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under this Indenture shall signify its acceptance of such
appointment by executing and delivering to the Authority and the City and to its predecessor
Trustee a written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally
named Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, at the written request of the Authority, the City or of the
successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of
conveyance or further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and
502
41
4127-3236-0228.4
interest of such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Indenture and shall
pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property subject
to the trusts and conditions herein set forth.
Any corporation, association or agency into which the Trustee may be converted or
merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust
business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party,
provided that such entity meets the combined capital and surplus requirements of this Section, ipso
facto, shall be and become successor trustee under this Indenture and vested with all the trusts,
powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 7.03. Compensation and Indemnification of the Trustee. The City shall from
time to time, subject to any written agreement then in effect with the Trustee, pay the Trustee
reasonable compensation for all its services rendered hereunder and reimburse the Trustee for all
its reasonable advances and expenditures (which shall not include “overhead expenses” except as
such expenses are included as a component of the Trustee’s stated annual fees) hereunder,
including but not limited to advances to and reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of
accountants, agents, appraisers, consultants or other experts, and counsel not directly employed by
the Trustee but an attorney or firm of attorneys retained by the Trustee, employed by it in the
exercise and performance of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not have any lien for such compensation or reimbursement against any moneys held
by it in any of the funds or accounts established hereunder.
The City shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and save the Trustee harmless
against any liabilities, costs, claims or expenses, including those of its attorneys, which it may
incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder and under any related
documents, including the enforcement of any remedies and the defense of any suit, and which are
not due to its negligence or its willful misconduct. The duty of the City to indemnify the Trustee
shall survive the termination and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee.
Section 7.04. Protection of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur
no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any affidavit, bond, certificate, consent,
notice, request, requisition, resolution, statement, telegram, voucher, waiver or other paper or
document which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been adopted, executed or
delivered by the proper party or pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, and the Trustee shall be
under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters
referred to in any such instrument, but may accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence
of the truth and accuracy of such statements. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the
Owners pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Owners shall have offered to the Trustee security
or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against the reasonable costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Under no
circumstances shall the Trustee request or be entitled to indemnification from the City for taking
503
42
4127-3236-0228.4
actions required by and in accordance with this Indenture, including, but not limited to, causing
payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds to be made to the Owners thereof and carrying
out redemptions of the Bonds in accordance with the terms hereof. The Trustee may consult with
counsel, who may be counsel to the Authority or the City, with regard to legal questions, and the
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any
action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith in accordance therewith.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency of the Bonds or the Lease
Agreement or for statements made in the preliminary or final official statement relating to the
Bonds, or of the title to the Property.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Indenture shall require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder.
Whenever in the administration of its rights and obligations hereunder the Trustee shall
deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate of
the Authority or a Written Certificate of the City, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the provisions hereof upon the faith thereof, but in
its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require
such additional evidence as it deems reasonable.
The Trustee may buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds and may join in any
action which any Owner may be entitled to take with like effect as if the Trustee were not a party
hereto. The Trustee, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any
financial or other transaction with the Authority or the City, and may act as agent, depository or
trustee for any committee or body of Owners or of owners of obligations of the Authority or the
City as freely as if it were not the Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee may, to the extent reasonably necessary, execute any of the trusts or powers
hereof and perform any rights and obligations required of it hereunder by or through agents,
attorneys or receivers, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and
its rights and obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agent, attorney or receiver selected by it with reasonable care; provided,
however, that in the event of any negligence or misconduct of any such attorney, agent or receiver,
the Trustee shall diligently pursue all remedies of the Trustee against such agent, attorney or
receiver. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any trusts or powers hereunder or
for anything whatsoever in connection with the funds established hereunder, except only for its
own willful misconduct, negligence or breach of an obligation hereunder.
504
43
4127-3236-0228.4
The Trustee may, on behalf of the Owners, intervene in any judicial proceeding to which
the Authority or the City is a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, affects
the Bonds or the security therefor, and shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least
5% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, provided the Trustee shall have
no duty to take such action unless it has been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all
risk or liability arising from such action.
The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this
Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic
methods, provided, however, that, the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing
persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of
such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced
whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Authority elects to give the
Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the
Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such
instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or
expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. The Authority agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception
and misuse by third parties.
Section 7.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee. It is the purpose of this Indenture that there
shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the laws of the State of
California) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in the case of litigation under this
Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement of the rights of the Trustee on default, or in
the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may
not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the
properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary
in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional institution as a
separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends.
In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional institution as a separate or co-trustee,
each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title,
interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed
to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee
but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers,
rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such
separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Any co-trustee shall be
bound by the standards of care, duties and obligations of the Trustee under this Indenture as if such
co-trustee were the Trustee. Any co-trustee shall be a national banking association, trust company
or commercial bank doing business in the State of California and at all times shall have a combined
capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If such national banking association,
trust company or commercial bank publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to
505
44
4127-3236-0228.4
law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for
the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such national banking association,
trust company or commercial bank shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
Should any instrument in writing from the Authority or the City be required by the separate
trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such
instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority
or the City. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and
be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Trustee or successor to such separate
trustee or co-trustee.

ARTICLE VIII
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES
Section 8.01. Supplemental Indentures. (a) This Indenture and the rights and obligations
of the Authority, the City, the Trustee and the Owners hereunder may be modified or amended at
any time by a Supplemental Indenture, which the Authority, the City and the Trustee may enter
into when the prior written consents of the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds then Outstanding, exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in Section 10.06
hereof, are filed with the Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall (i) extend the fixed
maturity of any Bond, reduce the amount of principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon or alter
the redemption provisions with respect thereto, without the consent of the Owner of each Bond so
affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Bonds the consent of the Owners of which is
required to effect any such modification or amendment, without the consent of the Owners of all
of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (iii) permit the creation of any lien on the Lease Revenues and
other assets pledged under this Indenture prior to or on a parity with the lien created by this
Indenture or deprive the Owners of the Bonds of the lien created by this Indenture on such Lease
Revenues and other assets (except as expressly provided in this Indenture), without the consent of
the Owners of all Bonds then Outstanding, or (iv) amend this Section without the prior written
consent of the Owners of all Bonds then Outstanding.
(b) This Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority, the City, the Trustee
and the Owners hereunder may also be modified or amended from time to time and at any time by
a Supplemental Indenture, which the Authority, the City and the Trustee may enter into without
the consent of any Owners for any one or more of the following purposes:
(i) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority or the City in this
Indenture contained other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, to pledge
or assign additional security for the Bonds (or any portion thereof), or to surrender any
right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the Authority or the City;
(ii) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity,
inconsistency or omission, or of curing or correcting any defective provision contained in
this Indenture or in regard to questions arising hereunder which the Authority or the City
may deem desirable or necessary and not inconsistent herewith;
(iii) to provide for the issuance of one or more Series of Additional Bonds, and
to provide the terms and conditions under which such Series of Additional Bonds may be
issued, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04 and Section 2.05
hereof;
(iv) to make such additions, deletions or modifications as may be necessary or
appropriate to assure the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of
interest on Tax-Exempt Bonds or maintain any federal interest subsidies expected to be
received with respect to any Bonds; and
507
46
4127-3236-0228.4
(v) for any other reason, provided such amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights or interests of the Owners; provided, however, that the
Authority, the City and the Trustee may rely in entering into any such amendment or
supplement upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the requirements of this paragraph
have been met with respect to such amendment or supplement.
(c) Promptly after the execution by the Authority, the City and the Trustee of any
Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall mail a notice (the form of which shall be furnished to
the Trustee by the Authority or the City), by first class mail postage prepaid, setting forth in general
terms the substance of such Supplemental Indenture, to the Owners of the Bonds at the respective
addresses shown on the Registration Books. Any failure to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such Supplemental Indenture.
Section 8.02. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution and delivery of
any Supplemental Indenture entered into pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 hereof,
this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the
respective rights, duties and obligations under this Indenture of the Authority, the City, the Trustee
and the Owners shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such
Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture
for any and all purposes.
Section 8.03. Endorsement of Bonds; Preparation of New Bonds. Bonds delivered
after the effective date of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Article may and, if the
Authority or the City so determines, shall bear a notation by endorsement or otherwise in form
approved by the Authority, the City and the Trustee as to any modification or amendment provided
for in such Supplemental Indenture and, in that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond
Outstanding at the time of such effective date, and presentation of such Bond for such purpose at
the Office of the Trustee, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bonds. If the Supplemental
Indenture shall so provide, new Bonds so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Authority,
the City and the Trustee, to any modification or amendment contained in such Supplemental
Indenture, shall be prepared and executed by the Authority and authenticated by the Trustee and,
in that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at the time of such effective
date, and presentation of such Bond for such purpose at the Office of the Trustee, such a new Bond
in equal principal amount of the same Series, interest rate and maturity shall be exchanged for such
Owner’s Bond so surrendered.
Section 8.04. Amendment of Particular Bonds. The provisions of this Article shall not
prevent any Owner from accepting any amendment or modification as to any particular Bond
owned by it, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bond.

ARTICLE IX
DEFEASANCE
Section 9.01. Discharge of Indenture. (a) If (i) the Authority shall pay or cause to be
paid or there shall otherwise be paid to the Owners of all Outstanding Bonds the principal thereof
and the interest and premium, if any, thereon at the times and in the manner stipulated herein and
therein, and (ii) all other amounts due and payable hereunder and under the Lease Agreement shall
have been paid, then the Owners shall cease to be entitled to the pledge of the Lease Revenues and
the other assets as provided herein, and all agreements, covenants and other obligations of the
Authority and the City hereunder shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be
discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Authority and

reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the conditions precedent to a deemed
payment pursuant to clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section have been satisfied, and (ii) such
other opinions, certifications and computations, as the Trustee may reasonably request, of
accountants or other financial consultants concerning the matters described in subsection (b) of
this Section.

Trustee and the Owners any claim, remedy or right under or pursuant hereto, and any agreement,
condition, covenant or term required herein to be observed or performed by or on behalf of the
Authority or the City shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Trustee and the Owners.
Section 10.02. Successor Deemed Included in all References to Predecessor.
Whenever the Authority, the City or the Trustee, or any officer thereof, is named or referred to
herein, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the powers, duties and functions
that are presently vested in the Authority, the City or the Trustee, or such officer, and all
agreements, conditions, covenants and terms required hereby to be observed or performed by or
on behalf of the Authority, the City or the Trustee, or any officer thereof, shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the respective successors thereof whether so expressed or not.
Section 10.03. Execution of Documents by Owners. Any declaration, request or other

instruments of similar tenor and may be executed by Owners in person or by their attorneys

declaration, request or other instrument or of any writing appointing such attorney may be proved
by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds

that the Person signing such declaration, request or other instrument or writing acknowledged to
such notary public or other officer the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such

Trustee may accept which it may deem sufficient.
The ownership of any Bond and the amount, payment date, number and date of owning the
same may be proved by the Registration Books.

or waiver under this Indenture, Bonds which are known by the Trustee to be owned or held by or
for the account of the Authority or the City, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Authority or the City, shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Bonds
so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes
of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to
vote such Bonds and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Authority or the City. In case of a dispute
as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full
protection to the Trustee. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Authority and the City shall specify

entitled thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof, but without any liability
for interest thereon.

maintained pursuant hereto by the Trustee may be established and maintained in the accounting
records of the Trustee either as an account or a fund, and may, for the purposes of such accounting
records, any audits thereof and any reports or statements with respect thereto, be treated either as
an account or a fund, but all such records with respect to all such funds and accounts shall at all
times be maintained in accordance with sound accounting practice and with due regard for the
protection of the security of the Bonds and the rights of the Owners. The Trustee may establish
such funds and accounts as it deems necessary to perform its obligations hereunder.
The Trustee may commingle any of the moneys held by it hereunder for investment
purposes only; provided, however, that the Trustee shall account separately for the moneys in each
fund or account established pursuant to this Indenture.

This Bond is one of a series of a duly authorized issue of bonds designated “Huntington
Beach Public Financing Authority (Orange County, California) Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds,
2020 Series [A][B] [(Tax-Exempt)][(Federally Taxable)]” (the “Series 2020[A][B] Bonds”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $[__________]. The Series 2020[A][B] Bonds are issued pursuant
to the Indenture, and this reference incorporates the Indenture herein. An additional series of
bonds, the Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority (Orange County, California) Lease
Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2020 Series [A][B] [(Tax-Exempt)][(Federally Taxable)] (the “Series
2020[A][B] Bonds”), in the aggregate principal amount of $[__________], have also been issued
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds are
collectively referred to at the “Series 2020 Bonds.” Pursuant to and as more particularly provided
in the Indenture, Additional Bonds may be issued by the Authority payable from Lease Revenues
as provided in the Indenture on a parity with the Series 2020 Bonds. The Series 2020 Bonds and
any Additional Bonds are collectively referred to as the “Bonds.” The Indenture is entered into,
and this Bond is issued under, the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, constituting
Section 6584 et seq. of the California Government Code (the “Act”) and the laws of the State of
California.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and to any and all amendments thereof and
supplements thereto for a description of the agreements, conditions, covenants and terms securing
the Bonds, for the nature, extent and manner of enforcement of such agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms, for the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee, for the rights and
remedies of the Owners of the Bonds with respect thereto and for the other agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms upon which the Bonds are issued thereunder, to all of which provisions the
Registered Owner by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority, payable solely from the Lease
Revenues and the other assets pledged therefor under the Indenture. Neither the faith and credit
nor the taxing power of the Authority, the City or the State of California, or any political
subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Bonds. The Lease Revenues consist of all
Base Rental Payments payable by the City pursuant to the Master Lease Agreement, dated as of
[__________] 1, 2020, by and between the City, as lessee, and the Authority, as lessor, (the “Lease
Agreement”), including any prepayments thereof, any Net Proceeds and any amounts received by
the Trustee as a result of or in connection with the Trustee’s pursuit of remedies under the Lease
Agreement upon a Lease Default Event. Subject only to the provisions of the Indenture permitting
the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth therein, all of the
Lease Revenues and all amounts on deposit from time to time in the funds and accounts established
under the Indenture (other than the Rebate Fund) are pledged to the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds as provided therein, and the Lease Revenues shall not be used for any
other purpose while any of the Bonds remain Outstanding. Said pledge constitutes a first lien on
such assets. In order to secure such pledge of the Lease Revenues, the Authority has sold assigned
and transferred to the Trustee, irrevocably and absolutely, without recourse, for the benefit of the
Owners, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Site Lease and the Lease Agreement,
including, without limitation, the right to receive Base Rental Payments and the right to exercise
any remedies provided in the Lease Agreement in the event of a default by the City thereunder;
provided, however, that the Authority has retained the rights to indemnification and to payment or
reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses under the Lease Agreement.
517
A-3
4127-3236-0228.4
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds without coupons in Authorized
Denominations ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof).
[The Series 2020 Bonds are subject to extraordinary, optional and mandatory redemption
at the times, in the manner, at the redemption prices and upon notice as specified in the Indenture.]
Any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred upon the Registration Books
by the Person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of
transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable to the Trustee. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall
be surrendered for transfer, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and shall
deliver a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount,
in any Authorized Denomination. The Trustee shall require the Owner requesting such transfer to
pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. The
Bonds may be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of
Bonds of the same Series and maturity of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall
require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange.
To the extent and in the manner permitted by the terms of the Indenture, the provisions of
the Indenture may be amended or supplemented by the parties thereto.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Authority to make provision for the
payment of interest on, and the principal and premium, if any, of any of the Bond so that such
Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding under the terms of the Indenture.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit, protection or security under the Indenture or
become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication and registration
hereon endorsed shall have been executed and dated by an authorized signatory of the Trustee.
Unless this Bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company to the Trustee for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Bond issued is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
herein.
It is hereby certified that all acts, conditions and things required by law to exist, to have
happened and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds do exist, have
happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Authority has caused this Bond to be signed in its name

base rental payments (“Base Rental Payments”) to be paid by the City pursuant to the Master Lease
Agreement between the City and the Authority, dated as of July 1, 2020 (the “Lease Agreement”).
The Authority’s right to receive the Base Rental Payments due under the Lease Agreement and to

The Bonds shall be as described in, and shall be secured under and pursuant to the Indenture.

Documents.”
529

This Purchase Agreement, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, dated as of the Closing
Date (as hereinafter defined) and entered into by the City (the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”),
the Indenture, the Lease Agreement, the Site Lease and the resolution of the City authorizing the
execution and delivery of the City Documents (hereinafter defined) are collectively referred to herein
as the “City Documents.”
Section 3. Public Offering.
(a) The Underwriter agrees to make an initial public offering of all of the Bonds
at the public offering prices (or yields) set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Underwriter reserves the right to change
the public offering prices (or yields) as the Underwriter deems necessary in connection with the
marketing of the Bonds, provided that the Underwriter shall not change the interest rates set forth on
Exhibit A. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the
Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than such initial public offering prices.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the
Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the City at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate,
together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the
reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the City and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as
applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds.
All actions to be taken by the City under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be
taken on behalf of the City by the Municipal Advisor, identified herein and any notice or report to be
provided to the City may be provided to the Municipal Advisor.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, the City will treat the first price at
which 10% of each maturity of the [Series 2020A Bonds] (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the
issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP
number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). At or promptly after the execution of
this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the City the price or prices at which it has
sold to the public each maturity of [Series 2020A Bonds]. If at that time the 10% test has not been
satisfied as to any maturity of the [Series 2020A Bonds], the Underwriter agrees to promptly report
to the City the prices at which it sells the unsold [Series 2020A Bonds] of that maturity to the public.
That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until the 10%
test has been satisfied as to the [Series 2020A Bonds] of that maturity or until all [Series 2020A
Bonds] of that maturity have been sold to the public.
(d) The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or
before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering
price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A, except as otherwise set forth
therein. Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column “Hold the Offering Price Rule Used,”
as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the [Series 2020A Bonds] for
which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the City and the Underwriter agree that the
restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the City to treat the initial
offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity
(the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to
any maturity of the [Series 2020A Bonds], the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold [Series
530
4
2020A Bonds] of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to
the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
1. the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
2. the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of
the [Series 2020A Bonds] to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the
public.
The Underwriter shall promptly advise the City when it has sold 10% of that maturity of the
[Series 2020A Bonds] to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the
public, if that occurs prior to the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date.
(e) The Underwriter confirms that any selling group agreement and any retail
distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related
pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling
group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable, to:
(1) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted to it
until it is notified by the Underwriter that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the [Series
2020A Bonds] of that maturity or all [Series 2020A Bonds] of that maturity have been sold to the
public; and (2) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so
long as directed by the Underwriter. The City acknowledges that, in making the representation set
forth in this subsection, the Underwriter will rely on: (A) in the event that a selling group has been
created in connection with the initial sale of the [Series 2020A Bonds] to the public, the agreement of
each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if
applicable, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires; and (B) in the
event that a retail distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the
Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply
with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in the retail distribution agreement and
the related pricing wires. The City further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for
the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to
a retail distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement regarding the hold-the-
offering-price rule as applicable to the [Series 2020A Bonds].
(f) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a
related party to the Underwriter shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section.
Further, for purposes of this section:
1. “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party;
2. “underwriter” means: (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written
contract with the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate
in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public; and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written
contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of
the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution
agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public);
3. a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the
underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to: (A) at least 50% common
531
5
ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations
(including direct ownership by one corporation of another); (ii) more than 50% common ownership
of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct
ownership by one partnership of another); or (iii) more than 50% common ownership of the value of
the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership,
as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct
ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and
4. “sale date” means the date of execution of this Purchase Agreement by all
parties.

and the City ratify, confirm and approve of the use and distribution by the Underwriter prior to the

denominations of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or any integral multiple thereof and shall be made

inspection and packaging. The Authority and the City acknowledge that the services of DTC will be
used initially by the Underwriter in order to permit the issuance of the Bonds in book-entry form, and
agree to cooperate fully with the Underwriter in employing such services.
Section 6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Authority. The

which might cause the Official Statement (as the same may have then been supplemented or
amended) to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(g) As of the time of acceptance hereof and the Closing, except as disclosed in

state or of the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of either, or any applicable judgment or
decree, or any loan agreement, indenture, bond, note, resolution, agreement or other instrument to
which the City is a party which breach or default has or may have an adverse effect on the ability of
the City to perform its obligations under the City Documents, and no event has occurred and is
continuing which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a
default or event of default under any such instrument; and the adoption, execution and delivery of the
City Documents, if applicable, and compliance with the provisions on the City’s part contained
535
9
therein, will not conflict in any material way with or constitute a material breach of or a material
default under any constitutional provision, law, administrative regulation, judgment, decree, loan
agreement, indenture, bond, note, resolution, agreement or other instrument to which the City is a
party nor will any such execution, delivery, adoption or compliance result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever
upon any of the property or assets of the City or under the terms of any such law, regulation or
instrument, except as may be provided by the City Documents.
(e) To the best of its knowledge, all material authorizations, approvals, licenses,
permits, consents and orders of any governmental authority, legislative body, board, agency or
commission having jurisdiction of the matter which are required for the due authorization by, or
which would constitute a condition precedent to or the absence of which would materially adversely
affect the due performance by the City of its obligations in connection with the City Documents have
been duly obtained or, when required for future performance, are expected to be obtained, other than
such approvals, consents and orders as may be required under the Blue Sky or securities laws of any
state in connection with the offering and sale of the Bonds; except as described in or contemplated by
the Preliminary Official Statement, all authorizations, approvals, licenses, permits, consents and
orders of any governmental authority, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction of the matter
which are required for the due authorization by, or which would constitute a condition precedent to
or the absence of which would materially adversely affect the due performance by, the City of its
obligations under the City Documents have been duly obtained.
(f) The Preliminary Official Statement was as of its date, and the Official
Statement is, and at all times subsequent to the date of the Official Statement up to and including the
Closing will be, true and correct in all material respects, and the Preliminary Official Statement and
the Official Statement do not and will not contain and up to and including the Closing will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (except that this representation does not include information regarding DTC and its
book-entry only system, information under the caption “UNDERWRITING,” CUSIP numbers, prices
and yields for the Bonds and any other information provided by the Underwriter, as to which no view
is expressed).
(g) The City will advise the Underwriter promptly of any proposal to amend or
supplement the Official Statement and will not effect or consent to any such amendment or
supplement without the consent of the Underwriter, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. The City will advise the Underwriter promptly of the institution of any proceedings known
to it by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise affecting the use of the Official
Statement in connection with the offering, sale or distribution of the Bonds.
(h) As of the time of acceptance hereof and the Closing, except as disclosed in
the Official Statement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in
equity, before or by any court, governmental authority, public board or body, pending, with service
of process having been accomplished, or threatened in writing and delivered to the City: (i) in any
way questioning the corporate existence of the City or the titles of the officers of the City to their
respective offices; (ii) affecting, contesting or seeking to prohibit, restrain or enjoin the issuance or
delivery of any of the Bonds, or the payment or collection of Base Rental Payments with respect to
the Lease Agreement or of any amounts pledged or to be pledged to pay the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Bonds, or the City Documents
536
10
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, or contesting the exclusion
of the interest on the Series 2020A Bonds from taxation, or contesting the powers of the Authority to
issue the Bonds; (iii) which would be likely to result in any material adverse change relating to the
business, operations or financial condition of the City; and (iv) contesting the completeness or
accuracy of the Preliminary Official Statement or the Official Statement or any supplement or
amendment thereto or asserting that the Preliminary Official Statement or the Official Statement
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
(i) To the best of the City’s knowledge, there is no basis for any action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation of the nature described in paragraph 7(h).
(j) Until the date which is twenty-five (25) days after the “end of the
underwriting period” (as hereinafter defined), if any event shall occur of which the City is aware that
would cause the Official Statement to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Official Statement, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the City shall forthwith notify the
Underwriter of any such event of which it has knowledge and shall cooperate fully in furnishing any
information available to it for any supplement to the Official Statement necessary, in the
Underwriter’s reasonable opinion, so that the statements therein as so supplemented will not be
misleading in light of the circumstances existing at such time and the City shall promptly furnish to
the Underwriter a reasonable number of copies of such supplement. As used herein, the term “end of
the underwriting period” means the later of such time as: (i) the Authority delivers the Bonds to the
Underwriter; or (ii) the Underwriter does not retain, directly or as a member of an underwriting
syndicate, an unsold balance of the Bonds for sale to the public. Unless the Underwriter gives
written notice to the contrary, the “end of the underwriting period” shall be deemed to be the Closing
Date. Any notice delivered pursuant to this provision shall be written notice delivered to the
Authority and the City at or prior to the Closing Date of the Bonds and shall specify a date (other
than the Closing Date) to be deemed the “end of the underwriting period.” The City agrees to
cooperate with the Underwriter in the filing by the Underwriter of such supplement or amendment to
the Official Statement with the MSRB.
(k) Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official
Statement, the City has not within the last five years failed to comply in any material respect with
any continuing disclosure undertakings with regard to Rule 15c2-12, to provide annual reports or
notices of material events specified in such rule.
(l) The financial statements relating to the receipts, expenditures and cash
balances of the City as of June 30, 2019 attached as Appendix B to the Official Statement fairly
represent the receipts, expenditures and cash balances of the City. Except as disclosed in the Official
Statement or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Underwriter, there has not been any materially
adverse change in the financial condition of the City or in its operations since June 30, 2019 and
there has been no occurrence, circumstance or combination thereof which is reasonably expected to
result in any such materially adverse change.
(m) To the extent required by law, the City will undertake, pursuant to the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate, to provide annual reports and notices of certain enumerated
537
11
events. A description of this undertaking is set forth in Appendix F to the Preliminary Official
Statement and will also be set forth in the Official Statement.
(n) Any certificate signed by any officer of the City authorized to execute such
certificate in connection with the execution, sale and delivery of the Bonds and delivered to the
Underwriter shall be deemed a representation of the City to the Underwriter and the Authority as to
the statements made therein but not of the person signing such certificate.

entered into this Purchase Agreement in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the

and pay for the Bonds on the Closing Date shall be subject, at the option of the Underwriter, to the
accuracy in all material respects of the statements of the officers and other officials of the Authority

documents furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof; to the performance by the Authority and the
City of their obligations to be performed hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and to the

Underwriter.
(c) At the time of the Closing, no default shall have occurred or be existing under
the City Documents or the Authority Documents, and the City shall not be in default in the payment
of principal or interest with respect to any of its financial obligations, which default would adversely
impact the ability of the City to pay the Base Rental Payments.
(d) In recognition of the desire of the Authority, the City and the Underwriter to
effect a successful public offering of the Bonds, and in view of the potential adverse impact of any of
the following events on such a public offering, this Purchase Agreement shall be subject to
termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter by notification, in writing, to the Authority
and the City prior to delivery of and payment for the Bonds, if at any time prior to such time:
(i) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities,
declaration by the United States of America of a national emergency or war or other calamity
or crisis (or the escalation of such calamity or crisis) the effect of which on financial markets

State or New York authorities, or the general suspension of trading on any national securities

would materially or adversely affect the ability of the Underwriter to market the Bonds; or

pending as of the date of this Purchase Agreement in the Congress of the United States of
America, or the recommendation to Congress or endorsement for passage (by press release,
other form of notice or otherwise) of legislation by the President of the United States of
America, the Treasury Department of the United States of America, the Internal Revenue

United States Senate or the Committee on Ways and Means of the United States House of
Representatives, or the proposal for consideration of legislation by either such Committee or
by any member thereof, or the presentment of legislation for consideration as an option by
either such Committee, or by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation of the Congress of
the United States of America, or the favorable reporting for passage of legislation to either
House of the Congress of the United States of America by a Committee of such House to
which such legislation has been referred for consideration; or
(vi) an order, decree or injunction shall have been issued by any court of

Commission or other governmental agency having jurisdiction of the subject matter shall be
made or proposed, to the effect that the issuance, offering or sale of obligations of the general
character of the Bonds, as contemplated hereby or by the Preliminary Official Statement and
the Official Statement, is or would be in violation of any provision of the Securities Act of

13
1933, as amended and as then in effect, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
and as then in effect, or the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended and as then in effect, or

544
18
their participation in the above-mentioned conferences (which did not extend beyond the date of the
Official Statement), and in reliance thereon and on the records, documents, certificates and matters
mentioned above, such counsel advises the Underwriter as a matter of fact and not opinion that,
during the course of such counsel’s role as disclosure counsel with respect to the Bonds, no facts
came to the attention of the attorneys in such firm rendering legal services in connection with such
role which caused them to believe that the Official Statement as of its date (except for any CUSIP
numbers, financial, accounting, statistical, economic or demographic data or forecasts, numbers,
charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions or expressions of opinion, any information
about The Depository Trust Company or its book-entry system, litigation, ratings, rating agencies or
underwriting, and Appendices A, B, C, G, H and I included or referred to therein, which such counsel
shall expressly exclude from the scope of this paragraph and as to which such counsel shall express

Corporation, dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Underwriter to the effect that, although such

in that regard, such attorneys have participated in conferences prior to the date of the Official
Statement with representatives of the City, the Authority, the Underwriter and others, during which
conferences the contents of the Official Statement and related matters were discussed. Based upon
the information made available to such attorneys in the course of their participation in such
conferences, their review of the documents referred to above, their reliance on the certificates and the
opinions of counsel described above and their understanding of applicable law, such attorneys do not
believe that the Official Statement (any CUSIP numbers, financial, accounting, statistical, economic
or demographic data or forecasts, numbers, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions
or expressions of opinion, any information about The Depository Trust Company or its book-entry
system, litigation, ratings, rating agencies or underwriting, and the Appendices to the Official
Statement, as to which no view need be expressed) as of its date contained, or as of the date of such
opinion, contains, any untrue statement or a material fact, or as of its date omitted, or as of the date of
such opinion omits, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

REQUEST FOR PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Chair and Board Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, Executive Director
PREPARED BY:Dahle Bulosan, Chief Financial Officer
Subject:
Adopt Public Financing Authority Resolution No. 25 authorizing the execution and delivery by
the Authority of a Master Site Lease, a Master Lease Agreement, a Master Indenture, a Bond
Purchase Agreement, a Second Amendment to Site Lease and a Second Amendment to Lease
Agreement in connection with the issuance of Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority
Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, in one or more series, approving the issuance of such
bonds in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $21,000,000, authorizing the
distribution of an official statement and authorizing the execution of necessary documents
and certificates and related actions in connection therewith
Statement of Issue:
Authorization is requested from the Public Financing Authority to approve the refunding of the
Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority’s outstanding 2010 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series A ($7,410,000) and 2011 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series A ($15,725,000) in an
amount not to exceed $21,000,000.
Financial Impact:
General Fund debt service expenditures will be reduced by over $900,000 in the first two years of
refunding, followed by an average annual savings of $390,000 thereafter through 2032. All costs of
the bond refunding will be paid from bond proceeds. The maturity dates of the new bonds coincide
on a fiscal year basis with the maturity dates of the bonds that are being refunded.
Public Financing Authority Recommended Action:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 25, “A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Huntington Beach Public
Financing Authority Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the Authority of a Master Site Lease, A
Master Lease Agreement, A Master Indenture, A Bond Purchase Agreement, A Second Amendment
to Site Lease and a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement in Connection with the Issuance of
Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, in One or More

B) Authorize the Executive Director and Authority Secretary to take all administrative and budgetary
actions necessary to perform the bond refunding.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended actions and the refinancing of the bonds, and direct staff
accordingly.
Analysis:
The Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority (PFA) was formed in 1988 to issue debt to finance public
improvements and other capital projects for the City of Huntington Beach and the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Huntington Beach. The PFA’s governing body is the City Council, which also adopts the PFA annual
budget. The PFA is financially dependent on the City for all its operations. Currently, the PFA has three separate
debt issues outstanding (2010 Series A, 2011 Series A, and 2014 Series A) totaling $35,665,000.
Staff regularly monitors the market for municipal securities. Recently, the municipal bond market has improved
to the point where refunding the bonds will be economically beneficial. The 2010 Series A Bonds are callable
on September 1, 2020 and can be refunded on a tax-exempt basis. The 2011 Series A Bonds are callable on
September 1, 2021 and will be advance refunded on a taxable basis. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which
went into effect on January 1, 2018, prohibits the use of tax-exempt bonds for advance refundings.

Total $ 51,020,000 $ 23,135,000 $ 5,723,000
The City’s economic benefit is the difference between the cash flows for the new debt compared to the old debt,
or $5,723,000, which takes into account all of the expenditures of the new debt. The proposed refunding will
be structured to provide over $900,000 in annual savings for the first two years of the refunding, and an average
of $390,000 in annual debt service savings through 2032. The maturity dates of the new bonds coincide on a
fiscal year basis with the maturity dates of the bonds that are being refunded.
Staff is recommending that the existing debt be refunded by the issuance of new debt, not to exceed
$21,000,000. The recommended “not to exceed” amount is determined by the City’s financial advisors, and is a
conservative estimate based on issuing bonds at par, without the additional proceeds generated from bond
“premium.” Upon issuance of the new debt, the City will have no further obligation to fund debt service on the
original debt.
Staff is recommending that the bonds be sold through its selected underwriter, Stifel, through a negotiated sale.
Stifel was selected through a competitive Request for Proposals process where seven different firms submitted
proposals. Stifel provided the most competitive qualified proposal and will market the bonds to investors.

The bonds are payable from rental payments received by the Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority
from General Fund lease payments made on City-owned properties. The 2010 Series A and 2011 Series B
bonds have been payable from General Fund lease payments made on the following properties:
·Donald W. Kiser Corporate Yard
·Civic Center
Given current valuations, the City will only use the Donald W. Kiser Corporate Yard as a leased
property for the new debt and will release the Civic Center from the remaining lease obligation of the 2014
bonds. The leased asset securing the 2014 bonds will now be the Central Library.
Consistent with financial industry standards, in order for staff to proceed with the transaction, the net present
value savings to the City must be at least 3% of the refunded principal amount. The minimum savings amount
is calculated as follows:
Principal Amount of Debt to be Redeemed $ 23,135,000
Multiplied by 3%3%
Minimum Necessary Present Value Savings $ 694,050
If the savings is less than $694,050, then the transaction will not be completed. Currently, the City is
anticipating Net Present Value Savings of ~8.4%. Staff will continue to monitor interest rate trends to
determine when and if additional debt refunding or defeasances will create a financial benefit. If such a
situation occurs, staff will present the proposal to the Authority for approval.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Strengthen long-term financial and economic sustainability

LEASE OF PROPERTY; TERM
Section 2.01. Lease of Property. (a) The Authority hereby leases to the City and the City
hereby leases from the Authority the Property, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
subject to all Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) The leasing of the Property by the City to the Authority pursuant to the Site Lease
shall not effect or result in a merger of the City’s leasehold estate in the Property as lessee under
this Lease Agreement and its fee estate in the Property as lessor under the Site Lease, and the
Authority shall continue to have a leasehold estate in the Property pursuant to the Site Lease
throughout the term thereof and hereof. This Lease Agreement shall constitute a sublease with
respect to the Property. The leasehold interest in the Property granted by the City to the Authority
pursuant to the Site Lease is and shall be independent of this Lease Agreement and this Lease
Agreement shall not be an assignment or surrender of the leasehold interest in the Property granted
to the Authority under the Site Lease.
Section 2.02. Term; Occupancy. (a) The term of this Lease Agreement shall commence
on the Closing Date and shall end on the Scheduled Termination Date, unless such term is extended
or sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. If, on the Scheduled Termination Date, all of the
Bonds shall not be fully paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article IX of the
Indenture, or any Rental Payments shall remain due and payable or shall have been abated at any
time, then the term of this Lease Agreement shall be extended until the date upon which all of the
Bonds shall be fully paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article IX of the
Indenture, and all Rental Payments due and payable shall have been paid in full; provided,
however, that the term of this Lease Agreement shall in no event be extended more than ten years
beyond the Scheduled Termination Date. If, prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, all of the
Bonds shall be fully paid or deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article IX of the
Indenture, and all Rental Payments due and payable shall have been paid in full, the term of this
Lease Agreement shall end simultaneously therewith.
(b) The City shall take possession of the Property on the Closing Date.
623

4149-0022-5572.4
ARTICLE III
RENTAL PAYMENTS
Section 3.01. Base Rental Payments. (a) General. The Rental Payments, including Base
Rental Payments, for each Rental Period shall be paid by the City to the Authority for and in
consideration of the right to use and occupy the Property and in consideration of the continued
right to the quiet use and enjoyment thereof during such Rental Period.
The obligation of the City to pay the Base Rental Payments does not constitute a debt of
the City or of the State of California or of any political subdivision thereof in contravention of any
constitutional or statutory debt limit or restriction, and does not constitute an obligation for which
the City or the State of California is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which
the City or the State of California has levied or pledged any form of taxation.
(b) Base Rental Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 hereof, the City
shall, on each Base Rental Deposit Date, pay to the Authority a Base Rental Payment in an amount
equal to the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds due and payable on the next succeeding
Principal Payment Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, including any such principal due
and payable by reason of mandatory sinking fund redemption of the Bonds; provided, however,
that the amount of such Base Rental Payment shall be reduced by the amount, if any, available in
the Payment Fund, the Principal Account or the Interest Account on such Base Rental Deposit
Date to pay such principal of, or interest on, the Bonds.
(c) Payments other than Regularly Scheduled Payments. If the term of this Lease
Agreement shall have been extended pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, the obligation of the City to
pay Rental Payments shall continue to and including the Base Rental Deposit Date preceding the
date of termination of this Lease Agreement (as so extended pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof).
Upon such extension, the Base Rental Payments payable during such extended term shall be
established so that such Base Rental Payments will in the aggregate be sufficient to pay the unpaid
principal of, and interest accrued and to accrue on, the Bonds; provided, however, that the Rental
Payments payable in any Rental Period shall not exceed the annual fair rental value of the Property.
Section 3.02. Additional Rental Payments. The City shall also pay, as Additional Rental
Payments, such amounts as shall be required for the payment of the following:
(a) all taxes and assessments of any type or nature charged to the Authority or the City
or affecting the Property or the respective interests or estates of the Authority or the City therein;
(b) all reasonable administrative costs of the Authority relating to the Property
including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, salaries, wages, fees and expenses
payable by the Authority under the Indenture, fees of auditors, accountants, attorneys or engineers,
and all other necessary and reasonable administrative costs of the Authority or charges required to
be paid by it in order to maintain its existence or to comply with the terms of the Indenture or this
Lease Agreement or to defend the Authority and its members, officers, agents and employees;
(c) insurance premiums for all insurance required pursuant to Article V hereof;
624
7
4149-0022-5572.4
(d) any amounts with respect to the Bonds required to be rebated to the federal
government in accordance with section 148(f) of the Code; and
(e) all other payments required to be paid by the City under the provisions of this Lease
Agreement or the Indenture.
Amounts constituting Additional Rental Payments payable hereunder shall be paid by the
City directly to the person or persons to whom such amounts shall be payable. The City shall pay
all such amounts when due or at such later time as such amounts may be paid without penalty or,
in any other case, within 60 days after notice in writing from the Trustee to the City stating the
amount of Additional Rental Payments then due and payable and the purpose thereof.
Section 3.03. Fair Rental Value. The parties hereto have agreed and determined that the
Rental Payments are not in excess of the fair rental value of the Property. In making such
determination of fair rental value, consideration has been given to the uses and purposes which
may be served by the Property and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to the City and the
general public. Payments of the Rental Payments for the Property during each Rental Period shall
constitute the total rental for said Rental Period.
Section 3.04. Payment Provisions. Each installment of Base Rental Payments payable
hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America to or upon the order of
the Authority at the Principal Office of the Trustee, or such other place or entity as the Authority
shall designate. Notwithstanding any dispute between the Authority and the City, the City shall
make all Rental Payments when due without deduction or offset of any kind and shall not withhold
any Rental Payments pending the final resolution of such dispute. In the event of a determination
that the City was not liable for said Rental Payments or any portion thereof, said payments or
excess of payments, as the case may be, shall be credited against subsequent Rental Payments due
hereunder or refunded at the time of such determination.
Section 3.05. Appropriations Covenant. The City covenants to take such action as may
be necessary to include all Rental Payments due hereunder in its annual budgets and to make
necessary annual appropriations for all such Rental Payments. The covenants on the part of the
City contained in this Section shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be duties imposed
by law and it shall be the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and
do such things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to
enable the City to carry out and perform such covenants.
Section 3.06. Rental Abatement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Section, during any period in which, by reason of material damage to, or destruction or
condemnation of, the Property, or any defect in title to the Property, there is substantial interference
with the City’s right to use and occupy any portion of the Property, Rental Payments shall be
abated, proportionately, and the City waives the benefits of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2)
and 1933(4) and any and all other rights to terminate this Lease Agreement by virtue of any such
interference, and this Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The amount of such
abatement shall be agreed upon by the City and the Authority. The City and the Authority shall
provide the Trustee with a certificate setting forth the amount of such abatement and the basis
therefor. Such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with the date of interference
625
8
4149-0022-5572.4
resulting from such damage, destruction, condemnation or title defect and, with respect to damage
to or destruction of the Property, ending with the substantial completion of the work of repair or
replacement of the Property, or the portion thereof so damaged or destroyed, and the term of this
Lease Agreement shall be extended as provided in Section 2.02 hereof; provided, however, that
such term shall in no event be extended more than ten years beyond the Scheduled Termination
Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that moneys are available for the payment of
Rental Payments in any of the funds and accounts established under the Indenture, Rental
Payments shall not be abated as provided above but, rather, shall be payable by the City as a special
obligation payable solely from said funds and accounts.

(including, without limitation, with respect to the use, maintenance and operation of the Property)
with all laws of the jurisdictions in which its operations may extend and any legislative, executive,

however, that the City may contest in good faith the validity or application of any such law or rule
627
10
4149-0022-5572.4
in any reasonable manner which does not, in the opinion of the Authority, adversely affect the

utility and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments
or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal

the Property or the Authority’s interest therein, and shall cause each such lien to be fully discharged
and released at the time the performance of any obligation secured by any such lien matures or
becomes due, except that, if the City desires to contest any such lien, it may do so as long as such
contest is in good faith. If any such lien shall be reduced to final judgment and such judgment or
such process as may be issued for the enforcement thereof is not promptly stayed, or if so stayed
and said stay thereafter expires, the City shall forthwith pay and discharge said judgment.
Section 4.13. Compliance with Law, Regulations, Etc. The City represents and warrants
that, after due inquiry, it has no knowledge and has not given or received any written notice
indicating that the Property or the use thereof or any practice, procedure or policy employed by it
in the conduct of its business with respect to the Property materially violates any Laws and
Regulations.
Section 4.14. No Condemnation. The City shall not exercise the power of condemnation
with respect to the Property. If for any reason the foregoing covenant shall be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable and the City condemns the Property or if the City
breaches such covenant, the City agrees that the value of the City’s leasehold estate hereunder in
the Property shall be not less than the greater of (a) the amount sufficient to redeem the Bonds
pursuant to the Indenture if the Bonds are then subject to redemption, or (b) the amount sufficient
to defease the Bonds to the first available redemption date in accordance with the Indenture if the
Bonds are not then subject to redemption.
Section 4.15. Authority’s Purpose. So long as any Bonds are Outstanding, the Authority
shall not engage in any activities inconsistent with the purposes for which the Authority is
organized, as set forth in the agreement pursuant to which the Authority was created.

Section 7.02. Substitution or Release of the Property. Subject to the provisions of this
Section, the City shall have the right to substitute alternate real property for any portion of the

incurred in connection with any such substitution or release shall be borne by the City.

described in Section 5.04 hereof;

to the effect that such substitution or release will not, in and of itself, cause the interest on Tax-
Exempt Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes;
(d) the City shall have given, or shall have made arrangements for the giving of, any
notice of the occurrence of such substitution or release required to be given pursuant to paragraph
[(__) of subsection (__) of Section 5 of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate];

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 8.01. Events of Default. The occurrence, from time to time, of any one or more
of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease Agreement:
(a) the failure of the City to pay any Rental Payment payable hereunder when the same
becomes due and payable, time being expressly declared to be of the essence in this Lease
Agreement;
(b) the failure by the City to observe and perform any of the other covenants,
agreements or conditions on its part in this Lease Agreement contained, if such failure shall have
continued for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, the Authority or the
Owners of not less than 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding;
provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the City, the failure stated in the notice can
be corrected, but not within such 30 day period, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default
if corrective action is instituted by the City within such 30 day period and the City shall thereafter
diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period of time, provided, further,
however, that the period of time for such cure shall not exceed 90 days without the prior written
consent of the Authority;
(c) except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Lease Agreement, the assignment
or transfer, either voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise, of the City’s interest in this
Lease Agreement or any part thereof without the written consent of the Authority;
(d) the abandonment of the Property by the City; or
(e) the commencement by the City of a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United
States Code or any substitute or successor statute.
Section 8.02. Action on Default. (a) In each and every case during the continuance of an
Event of Default hereunder, the Authority, in addition to all other rights and remedies it may have
at law, shall have the option either to exercise the rights provided for in subsection (b) of this
Section or to exercise the rights provided for in subsection (c) of this Section.
(b) In each and every case during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
the Authority shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner hereinafter
provided, notwithstanding any re-entry or re-letting of the Property as provided in subsection (c)
of this Section, and to re-enter the Property and remove all persons in possession thereof and all
personal property whatsoever situated upon the Property and place such personal property in
storage in any warehouse or other suitable place, for the account of and at the expense of the City.
In the event of such termination, the City agrees to surrender immediately possession of the
Property, without let or hindrance, and to pay the Authority all damages recoverable at law that
the Authority may incur by reason of default by the City, including, without limitation, any costs,
loss or damage whatsoever arising out of, in connection with, or incident to any such re-entry upon
the Property and removal and storage of such property by the Authority or its duly authorized
635
18
4149-0022-5572.4
agents in accordance with the provisions herein contained. Neither notice to pay Rental Payments
or to deliver up possession of the Property given pursuant to law nor any entry or re-entry by the
Authority nor any proceeding in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by the Authority for the
purpose of effecting such re-entry or obtaining possession of the Property nor the appointment of
a receiver upon initiative of the Authority to protect the Authority’s interest under this Lease
Agreement shall of itself operate to terminate this Lease Agreement, and no termination of this
Lease Agreement on account of default by the City shall be or become effective by operation of
law or acts of the parties hereto, or otherwise, unless and until the Authority shall have given
written notice to the City of the election on the part of the Authority to terminate this Lease
Agreement. The City covenants and agrees that no surrender of the Property or of the remainder
of the term hereof or any termination of this Lease Agreement shall be valid in any manner or for
any purpose whatsoever unless stated by the Authority by such written notice.
(c) In each and every case during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
the Authority shall have the right, without terminating this Lease Agreement (i) to collect each
installment of Rental Payments as the same become due and enforce any other terms or provisions
hereof to be kept or performed by the City, regardless of whether or not the City has abandoned
the Property, or (ii) to exercise any and all rights of entry and re-entry upon the Property. In the
event the Authority does not elect to terminate this Lease Agreement in the manner provided for
in subsection (b) of this Section, the City shall remain liable and agrees to keep or perform all
covenants and conditions herein contained to be kept or performed by the City and, if the Property
is not re-let, to pay the full amount of the Rental Payments to the end of the term of this Lease
Agreement or, in the event that the Property is re-let, to pay any deficiency in Rental Payments
that results therefrom; and further agrees to pay said Rental Payments and/or Rental Payment
deficiency punctually at the same time and in the same manner as hereinabove provided for the
payment of Rental Payments hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that the Authority may have
received in previous years or may receive thereafter in subsequent years Rental Payments in excess
of the Rental Payments herein specified, and notwithstanding any entry or re-entry by the
Authority or suit in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by the Authority for the purpose of
effecting such re-entry or obtaining possession of the Property. Should the Authority elect to re-
enter as herein provided, the City hereby irrevocably appoints the Authority as the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the City to re-let the Property, or any part thereof, from time to time, either in
the Authority’s name or otherwise, upon such terms and conditions and for such use and period as
the Authority may deem advisable and to remove all persons in possession thereof and all personal
property whatsoever situated upon the Property and to place such personal property in storage in
any warehouse or other suitable place, for the account of and at the expense of the City, and the
City hereby indemnifies and agrees to save harmless the Authority from any costs, loss or damage
whatsoever arising out of, in connection with, or incident to any such re-entry upon and re-letting
of the Property and removal and storage of such property by the Authority or its duly authorized
agents in accordance with the provisions herein contained. The City agrees that the terms of this
Lease Agreement constitute full and sufficient notice of the right of the Authority to re-let the
Property in the event of such re-entry without effecting a surrender of this Lease Agreement, and
further agrees that no acts of the Authority in effecting such re-letting shall constitute a surrender
or termination of this Lease Agreement irrespective of the use or the term for which such re-letting
is made or the terms and conditions of such re-letting, or otherwise, but that, on the contrary, in
the event of such default by the City the right to terminate this Lease Agreement shall vest in the
Authority to be effected in the sole and exclusive manner provided for in subsection (b) of this
636
19
4149-0022-5572.4
Section. The City further agrees to pay the Authority the cost of any alterations or additions to the
Property necessary to place the Property in condition for re-letting immediately upon notice to the
City of the completion and installation of such additions or alterations. The term “re-let” or “re-
letting” as used in this Section shall include, but not be limited to, re-letting by means of the
operation by the Authority of the Property.
(d) The City hereby waives any and all claims for damages caused or which may be
caused by the Authority in re-entering and taking possession of the Property as herein provided
and all claims for damages that may result from the destruction of or injury to the Property and all
claims for damages to or loss of any property belonging to the City, or any other person, that may
be in or upon the Property.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the termination of this Lease
Agreement by the Authority on account of an Event of Default hereunder shall not effect or result
in a termination of the lease of the Property by the City to the Authority pursuant to the Ground
Lease.
Section 8.03. Other Remedies. In addition to the other remedies provided for in Section
8.02 hereof, during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the Authority shall be
entitled to proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in the Authority by this Lease
Agreement or by law. The provisions of this Lease Agreement and the duties of the City and of its
board, officers or employees shall be enforceable by the Authority by mandamus or other
appropriate suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Authority shall have the right to bring the following actions:
(a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its
rights against the City or any board member, officer or employee thereof, and to compel the City
or any such board member, officer or employee to perform or carry out its or his or her duties
under law and the agreements and covenants required to be performed by it or him or her contained
herein;
(b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights
of the Authority; or
(c) by suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, to require the
City and its board, officers and employees to account as if it or they were the trustee or trustees of
an express trust.
Section 8.04. No Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease Agreement, the Authority shall have no right to accelerate Rental Payments upon the
occurrence or continuance of a default or an Event of Default hereunder.
Section 8.05. Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.02 hereof,
no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Authority is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy, and each such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by
any law. If any statute or rule of law validly shall limit the remedies given to the Authority
637
20
4149-0022-5572.4
hereunder, the Authority nevertheless shall be entitled to whatever remedies are allowable under
any statute or rule of law.
Section 8.06. Waiver. No delay or omission of the Authority to exercise any right or
power arising from the occurrence of any default or Event of Default shall impair any such right
or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by this Lease Agreement to the Authority
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of a
particular default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other default or
Event of Default or of the same default or Event of Default subsequently occurring. The
acceptance of Rental Payments hereunder shall not be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any term,
covenant or condition of this Lease Agreement.
Section 8.07. Attorney’s Fees. In the event the Authority shall prevail in any action
brought to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease Agreement, the City agrees to pay
a reasonable amount as and for attorney’s fees incurred by the Authority in attempting to enforce
any of the remedies available to the Authority hereunder.
Section 8.08. Authority Event of Default; Action on Authority Event of Default. The
failure by the Authority to observe and perform any covenants, agreements or conditions on its
part in this Lease Agreement contained, including under Section 4.05 and Section 4.15, if such
failure shall have continued for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof, specifying such
failure and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority and the
Trustee, by the City, shall constitute an Authority Event of Default under this Lease Agreement;
provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority the failure stated in the notice
can be corrected, but not within such 60 day period, such failure shall not constitute an Authority
Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Authority within such 60 day period and
the Authority shall thereafter diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period
of time. In each and every case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Authority
Event of Default by the Authority hereunder, the City shall have all the rights and remedies
permitted by law.

and the City shall determine to authorize the issuance of any Additional Bonds, the Authority, the
City and the Trustee shall enter into a Supplemental Indenture satisfying the conditions of
Section 2.04 hereof. Before such Additional Bonds shall be issued, the Authority and the City

(a) an Opinion of Counsel setting forth (i) that counsel rendering such opinion has
examined the Supplemental Indenture, the amendment to the Lease Agreement, if any, and the
amendment to the Site Lease, if any, (ii) that the issuance of the Additional Bonds has been duly
authorized by the Authority, (iii) that the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture
and, if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Authority and the City, (iv) that upon execution and delivery of such
Supplemental Indenture and any such amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease,
this Indenture, as amended and supplemented by such Supplemental Indenture, and, if so amended,
the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease, as amended by such amendments, will be valid and
binding obligations of the Authority and the City, and (v) that the execution and delivery of the
Supplemental Indenture and, if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease,
in and of themselves, do not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income
tax purposes of interest on Outstanding Tax-Exempt Bonds;
(b) a Written Certificate of the Authority that the requirements of Section 2.04 hereof
have been met;
(c) a Written Certificate of the City that the requirements of Section 2.04 hereof have

City Council of the City authorizing the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture and,
if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease;
(e) executed counterparts or duly authenticated copies of the Supplemental Indenture
and, if any, the amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease, with satisfactory evidence
that any such amendments to the Lease Agreement and the Site Lease have been duly recorded in
the appropriate records of the county in which the Property is located;
(f) certified copies of the policies of insurance required by Section 5.01 of the Lease
Agreement or certificates thereof, which shall evidence that the amounts of the insurance required

16
4127-3236-0228.4
under subsections (b) and (c) of Section 5.01 of the Lease Agreement have been increased, if
applicable, to cover the amount of such Additional Bonds; and
(g) an CLTA title insurance policy or other appropriate form of policy in the amount
of the Additional Bonds of the type and with the endorsements described in Section 5.04 of the
Lease Agreement.
Upon the delivery to the Trustee of the foregoing instruments and upon the Trustee’s being
satisfied from an examination of said instruments that all of the documents required by this
Section have been delivered, the Trustee shall authenticate such Additional Bonds, and shall
deliver such Additional Bonds to, or upon the request of, the Authority.
Section 2.06. Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be executed in the name and on
behalf of the Authority with the manual or facsimile signature of the Chair of the Board of
Directors of the Authority attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary of the
Authority. The Bonds shall then be delivered to the Trustee for authentication by it. In case any
of such officers of the Authority who shall have signed or attested any of the Bonds shall cease to
be such officers before the Bonds so signed or attested shall have been authenticated or delivered
by the Trustee, or issued by the Authority, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated,
delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall be as binding upon
the Authority as though those who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers,
and also any Bonds may be signed and attested on behalf of the Authority by such Persons as at
the actual date of execution of such Bonds shall be the proper officers of the Authority although
at the nominal date of such Bonds any such Person shall not have been such officer of the
Authority.
Section 2.07. Authentication of Bonds. Only such of the Bonds as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form as that set forth in Exhibit A hereto for the
Series 2020 Bonds, manually executed by the Trustee, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such certificate of or on behalf of the Trustee shall
be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly executed, authenticated
and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.08. Registration Books. The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the
Office of the Trustee, sufficient records for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds,
which shall be available for inspection and copying by the Authority and the City upon reasonable
notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee shall, under such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on such
records, the ownership of the Bonds as herein provided.
Section 2.09. Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. Any Bond may, in accordance with its
terms, be transferred upon the Registration Books by the Person in whose name it is registered, in
person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation,
accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable to
the Trustee. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered for transfer, the Authority shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver a new Bond or Bonds of the same
Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount, in any Authorized Denomination. The
666
17
4127-3236-0228.4
Trustee shall require the Owner requesting such transfer to pay any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer.
The Bonds may be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal
amount of Bonds of the same Series and maturity of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee
shall require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange.
The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any transfer or exchange of Bonds of a Series
pursuant to this Section during the period commencing on the date five days before the date of
selection of Bonds of such Series for redemption and ending on the date of mailing notice of such
redemption, or with respect to any Bonds of such Series selected for redemption.
Section 2.10. Book-Entry System. (a) Prior to the issuance of a Series of Bonds, the
Authority may provide that such Series of Bonds shall initially be issued as Book-Entry Bonds,
and in such event, the Bonds of such Series for each maturity date shall be in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond (which may be typewritten); provided, however, that if different
CUSIP numbers are assigned to Bonds of a Series maturing in a single year or, if Bonds of the
same Series maturing in a single year are issued with different interest rates, additional bond
certificates shall be prepared for each such maturity. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each
such Bond of such Series shall be registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Nominee,
as nominee of the Depository. The Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds shall initially
be issued as Book-Entry Bonds.
Payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, any Book-Entry Bond
registered in the name of the Nominee shall be made on the applicable payment date by wire
transfer of New York clearing house or equivalent next day funds or by wire transfer of same day
funds to the account of the Nominee. Such payments shall be made to the Nominee at the address
which is, on the Record Date, shown for the Nominee in the Registration Books.
(b) With respect to Book-Entry Bonds, the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall
have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Person on behalf of which such a
Participant holds an interest in such Book-Entry Bonds. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in Book-Entry Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any
Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any
notice with respect to Book-Entry Bonds, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection by
the Depository and its Participants of the beneficial interests in Book-Entry Bonds of a maturity to
be redeemed in the event such Book-Entry Bonds are redeemed in part, (iv) the payment to any
Participant or any other Person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any
amount with respect to principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on Book-Entry Bonds, or
(v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner.
(c) The Authority, the City and the Trustee may treat and consider the Person in whose
name each Book-Entry Bond is registered in the Registration Books as the absolute Owner of such
Book-Entry Bond for the purpose of payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on
667
18
4127-3236-0228.4
such Bond, for the purpose of selecting any Bonds, or portions thereof, to be redeemed, for the
purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Book-Entry Bond,
for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Book-Entry Bond, for the purpose of
obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Owners and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) In the event of a redemption of all or a portion of a Book-Entry Bond, the
Depository, in its discretion, (i) may request the Trustee to authenticate and deliver a new Book-
Entry Bond, or (ii) if DTC is the sole Owner of such Book-Entry Bond, shall make an appropriate
notation on the Book-Entry Bond indicating the date and amounts of the reduction in principal
thereof resulting from such redemption, except in the case of final payment, in which case such
Book-Entry Bond must be presented to the Trustee prior to payment.
(e) The Trustee shall pay all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the
Book-Entry Bonds only to or “upon the order of” (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial
Code as adopted in the State of California) the respective Owner, as shown in the Registration
Books, or his respective attorney duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the obligations with respect to payment of principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on the Book-Entry Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid. No Person other than an Owner, as shown in the Registration Books, shall receive an
authenticated Book-Entry Bond. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Owners, the Authority,
the City and the Trustee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of the Nominee, and subject to the provisions herein with respect
to Record Dates, the word Nominee in this Indenture shall refer to such nominee of the Depository.
(f) In order to qualify the Book-Entry Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system,
the Authority shall execute and deliver to the Depository a Letter of Representations. The
execution and delivery of a Letter of Representations shall not in any way impose upon the
Authority, the City or the Trustee any obligation whatsoever with respect to Persons having
interests in such Book-Entry Bonds other than the Owners, as shown on the Registration Books.
Such Letter of Representations may provide the time, form, content and manner of transmission,
of notices to the Depository. In addition to the execution and delivery of a Letter of
Representations by the Authority, the Authority, the City and the Trustee shall take such other
actions, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as are reasonably necessary to qualify Book-Entry
Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program.
(g) In the event the Authority determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds and that such Bonds should therefore be
made available and notifies the Depository and the Trustee of such determination, the Depository
will notify the Participants of the availability through the Depository of certificated Bonds. In
such event, the Trustee shall transfer and exchange certificated Bonds as requested by the
Depository and any other Owners in appropriate amounts. In the event (i) the Depository
determines not to continue to act as securities depository for Book-Entry Bonds, or (ii) the
Depository shall no longer so act and gives notice to the Trustee of such determination, then the
Authority shall discontinue the Book-Entry system with the Depository. If the Authority
determines to replace the Depository with another qualified securities depository, the Authority
shall prepare or direct the preparation of a new single, separate, fully registered Bond of the
668
19
4127-3236-0228.4
appropriate Series for each maturity date of such Book-Entry Bonds, registered in the name of
such successor or substitute qualified securities depository or its nominee. If the Authority fails
to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the Depository, then the Book-Entry
Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books in the name of
the Nominee, but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners transferring or
exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.09 and
2.11 hereof. Whenever the Depository requests the Authority to do so, the Authority shall
cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make
available one or more separate certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Bonds to any Participant
having Book-Entry Bonds credited to its account with the Depository, and (ii) to arrange for
another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Book-Entry Bonds.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, if DTC is the
sole Owner of the Bonds of a Series, so long as any Book-Entry Bond of such Series is registered
in the name of the Nominee, all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on
such Book-Entry Bond and all notices with respect to such Book-Entry Bond shall be made and
given, respectively, as provided in the Letter of Representations or as otherwise instructed by the
Depository.
(i) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Owners
pursuant to this Indenture by the Authority, the City or the Trustee, with respect to any consent or
other action to be taken by Owners of Book-Entry Bonds, the Trustee shall establish a record date
for such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible. Notice to the Depository
shall be given only when DTC is the sole Owner of the Bonds of a Series.
Section 2.11. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become
mutilated, the Authority, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Trustee
shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of the same Series and maturity in a like
aggregate principal amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the
Trustee shall be canceled by it and delivered to, or upon the order of, the Authority. If any Bond
shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to
the Trustee and, if such evidence and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee shall be given, the
Authority, at the expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate
and deliver, a new Bond of the same Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount in
lieu of and in replacement for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have
matured or shall have been selected for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Bond, the
Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof). The Authority may require payment by the
Owner of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each replacement Bond issued under
this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any
Bond of a Series issued under the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond of such Series
alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
on the part of the Authority whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be
at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all
other Bonds of such Series secured by this Indenture.

Section 2.12. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds of a Series may be issued in temporary form
exchangeable for definitive Bonds of such Series when ready for delivery. Any temporary Bonds
may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such Authorized Denominations as may
be determined by the Authority, shall be in fully registered form without coupons and may contain
such reference to any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary
Bond shall be executed by the Authority and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions
and in substantially the same manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Authority issues temporary
Bonds of a Series it shall execute and deliver definitive Bonds of such Series as promptly thereafter
as practicable, and thereupon the temporary Bonds of such Series may be surrendered for
cancellation at the Office of the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of such Series
and maturities in Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds of such
Series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds of such Series
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 3.04. Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Whenever provision is made in this
Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds, the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be
redeemed from all Bonds not previously called for redemption (a) with respect to any redemption
pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, among maturities of all Series of Bonds on a pro rata basis as
nearly as practicable, (b) with respect to any optional redemption of Series 2020 Bonds, as directed
in a Written Certificate of the City, and (c) with respect to any other redemption of Additional

Additional Bonds are issued, and by lot among Bonds of the same Series with the same maturity
672
23
4127-3236-0228.4
in any manner which the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate and fair. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Authority and the City in writing of the numbers of the Bonds so selected
for redemption on such date. For purposes of such selection, any Bond may be redeemed in part
in Authorized Denominations.
Section 3.05. Notice of Redemption. The Trustee on behalf of the Authority shall mail
(by first class mail) notice of any redemption to the respective Owners of any Bonds designated
for redemption at their respective addresses appearing on the Registration Books at least 20 but
not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such notice shall state the date of
the notice, the redemption date, the redemption place and the redemption price and shall designate
the CUSIP numbers, the Bond numbers and the maturity or maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed
(except in the event of redempti on of all of the Bonds of such maturity or maturities in whole), and
shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Office of the Trustee for redemption at the
redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue from and
after the date fixed for redemption. Neither the failure to receive any notice so mailed, nor any
defect in such notice, shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds
or the cessation of accrual of interest thereon from and after the date fixed for redemption. With
respect to any notice of any optional redemption of Bonds of a Series, unless at the time such
notice is given the Bonds to be redeemed shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning
of Section 9.02 hereof, such notice shall state that such redemption is conditional upon receipt by
the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys that, together with other
available amounts held by the Trustee, are sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, the Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received
said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Authority shall not be required to redeem such
Bonds. In the event a notice of redemption of Bonds contains such a condition and such moneys
are not so received, the redemption of Bonds as described in the conditional notice of redemption
shall not be made and the Trustee shall, within a reasonable time after the date on which such
redemption was to occur, give notice to the Persons and in the manner in which the notice of
redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that there shall be no redemption
of Bonds pursuant to such notice of redemption.

Bonds surrendered.
Section 3.07. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid,
and moneys for the redemption price, and the interest to the applicable date fixed for redemption,
having been set aside, the Bonds shall become due and payable on said date and, upon presentation
and surrender thereof at the Office of the Trustee, said Bonds shall be paid at the redemption price
thereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid to said date.
If, on said date fixed for redemption, moneys for the redemption price of all the Bonds to
be redeemed, together with interest to said date, shall be held by the Trustee so as to be available
therefor on such date, and, if notice of redemption thereof shall have been mailed as aforesaid and
not canceled, then, from and after said date, interest on said Bonds shall cease to accrue and
673
24
4127-3236-0228.4
become payable. All moneys held by or on behalf of the Trustee for the redemption of Bonds shall
be held in trust for the account of the Owners of the Bonds so to be redeemed without liability to
such Owners for interest thereon.
All Bonds paid at maturity or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to the provisions hereof
shall be canceled upon surrender thereof and destroyed.

PLEDGE AND ASSIGNMENT; FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS
Section 4.01. Pledge and Assignment. Subject only to the provisions of this Indenture
permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
all of the Lease Revenues and all amounts on deposit from time to time in the funds and accounts
established hereunder (other than the Rebate Fund) are hereby pledged to the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds as provided herein, and the Lease Revenues shall not be
used for any other purpose while any of the Bonds remain Outstanding. Said pledge shall constitute
a first lien on such assets.
In order to secure the pledge of the Lease Revenues contained in this Section, the Authority
hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Trustee, irrevocably and absolutely, without recourse, for
the benefit of the Owners, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Site Lease and the Lease
Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to receive Base Rental Payments and the right
to exercise any remedies provided in the Lease Agreement in the event of a default by the City
thereunder; provided, however, that the Authority shall retain the rights to indemnification and to
payment or reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses under the Lease Agreement. The
Trustee hereby accepts said assignment for the benefit of the Owners, subject to the provisions of
this Indenture.
The Trustee shall be entitled to and shall receive all of the Base Rental Payments, and any
Base Rental Payments collected or received by the Authority shall be deemed to be held, and to
have been collected or received, by the Authority as agent of the Trustee and shall forthwith be
paid by the Authority to the Trustee.

separate fund designated the “Costs of Issuance Fund.” On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deposit in the Costs of Issuance Fund the amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof.
(b) The moneys in the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the
Trustee from time to time to pay Costs of Issuance upon submission to the Trustee of a Written
Request of the City substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Upon receipt of each
such Written Request of the City, the Trustee shall pay the amount set forth in such Written
Request as directed by the terms thereof. Each such Written Request of the City shall be sufficient
evidence to the Trustee of the facts stated therein and the Trustee shall have no duty to confirm the
accuracy of such facts.
(c) On the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall transfer any
amounts then remaining in the Costs of Issuance Fund to one or more accounts or subaccounts
within the Payment Fund as directed in a Written Request of the City, and upon such transfer the
Costs of Issuance Fund shall be closed.
(d) If the Costs of Issuance Fund has been closed in accordance with the provisions
hereof, the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be reopened and reestablished by the Trustee in connection
675
26
4127-3236-0228.4
with the issuance of any Additional Bonds, if so provided in the Supplemental Indenture pursuant
to which such Additional Bonds are issued. There shall be deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund
the portion, if any, of the proceeds of the sale of any Additional Bonds required to be deposited
therein under the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Additional Bonds are issued.
Section 4.03. Payment Fund. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate fund
designated the “Payment Fund.” Within the Payment Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain
a separate account designated the “Series 2020 Interest Account” and a separate account
designated the “Series 2020 Principal Account.” Upon the issuance of Additional Bonds, the
Trustee shall also establish and maintain, within the Payment Fund, a separate Interest Account
and a separate Principal Account for each Series of Additional Bonds.
(b) All Lease Revenues received by the Trustee shall be deposited by the Trustee in the
Payment Fund; provided, however, that Net Proceeds, other than those constituting proceeds of
rental interruption insurance received with respect to the Property, shall not be deposited in the
Payment Fund but, rather, shall be applied as provided in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 hereof, as
applicable. There shall additionally be deposited in the applicable Interest Account and Principal
Account of the Payment Fund amounts transferred from the related Reserve Account pursuant to
subsection (c) of Section 4.05 hereof.
(c) The Trustee, on each Interest Payment Date, shall transfer from the Payment Fund
to each Interest Account an amount equal to the interest on the related Series of Bonds coming due
on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that such amount is
available for such Series of Bonds in any capitalized interest subaccount established pursuant to a
Supplemental Indenture on such Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall, instead, transfer such
amount from such capitalized interest subaccount to the related Interest Account on such Interest
Payment Date. Moneys in each Interest Account shall be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for
the purpose of paying interest on the related Series of Bonds as and when due and payable.
(d) The Trustee, on each Principal Payment Date, shall transfer from the Payment Fund
to each Principal Account an amount equal to the principal of the related Series of Bonds, including
principal due and payable by reason of mandatory sinking fund redemption, coming due on such
date. Moneys in each Principal Account shall be withdrawn and used by the Trustee for the purpose
of paying principal of the related Series of Bonds, including principal due and payable by reason
of mandatory sinking fund redemption, as and when due and payable.
Section 4.04. Redemption Fund. [The Trustee shall establish and maintain a special fund
designated the “Redemption Fund.” The Trustee shall deposit in the Redemption Fund any
amounts received from the City in connection with the City’s exercise of its right pursuant to
Section 6.02 of the Lease Agreement to cause Bonds to be optionally redeemed. Additionally, the
Trustee shall deposit in the Redemption Fund any amounts required to be deposited therein
pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 hereof. Amounts in the Redemption Fund shall be
disbursed therefrom by the Trustee for the payment of the redemption price of, and accrued interest
on, Bonds redeemed pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof.]
Section 4.05. Reserve Fund. (a) [The Series 2020 Bonds shall not be secured by any
Reserve Account.] When provided for in a Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall establish and
676
27
4127-3236-0228.4
maintain a special fund designated the “Reserve Fund.” Within the Reserve Fund, the Trustee,
when provided for in a Supplemental Indenture, shall establish and maintain a separate account
designated the “Common Reserve Account” and one or more additional Reserve Accounts, each
of which may secure one or more Series of Bonds pursuant hereto and pursuant to the
Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance thereof. In connection with the issuance of
Additional Bonds, there shall be deposited in the Common Reserve Account or any other Reserve
Account established and/or maintained for such Additional Bonds, as applicable, the amount
required to be deposited therein under the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such
Additional Bonds are issued.
(b) The City may substitute a Reserve Facility for all or part of the moneys on deposit
in any Reserve Account by depositing such Reserve Facility with the Trustee, provided that, at the
time of such substitution, the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account, together with the
amount available under all Reserve Facilities on deposit in such Reserve Account, shall be at least
equal to the Reserve Requirement for such Reserve Account. Moneys for which a Reserve Facility
has been substituted as provided herein shall be transferred, at the election of the City, to the
Redemption Fund for the purpose of redeeming the related Series of Bonds or, upon receipt of an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion of
interest on Outstanding Tax-Exempt Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, to
the City to be applied to the payment of capital costs of the City. Amounts on deposit in any
Reserve Account which were not derived from payments under any Reserve Facility credited to
such Reserve Account to satisfy a portion of the Reserve Requirement for such Reserve Account
shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee prior to using and withdrawing any amounts derived
from payments under such Reserve Facility. In order to accomplish such use and withdrawal of
such amounts not derived from payments under any such Reserve Facility, the Trustee shall, as
and to the extent necessary, liquidate any investments purchased with such amounts.
(c) In the event that, on the second Business Day prior to a date on which the Trustee
is to transfer money from the Payment Fund to the Interest Accounts pursuant to subsection (c) of
Section 4.03 hereof or to the Principal Accounts pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 4.03 hereof,
amounts in the Payment Fund are insufficient for such purpose, the Trustee shall withdraw from
each Reserve Account, to the extent of any funds therein, the amount of the insufficiency of the
related Series of Bonds, and shall transfer any amounts so withdrawn first to the related Interest
Account and then to the related Principal Account. If the amount on deposit in any Reserve
Account is not sufficient to make such transfer, the Trustee shall make a claim under any available
Reserve Facility, in accordance with the provisions thereof, in order to obtain an amount sufficient
to allow the Trustee to make such transfer as and when required.
(d) In the event of any transfer from a Reserve Account or the making of any claim
under a Reserve Facility, the Trustee shall, within two Business Days thereafter, provide written
notice to the Authority and the City of the amount and the date of such transfer or claim; provided,
however, that such notice need not be provided if such transfer is made pursuant to subsection (f)
or subsection (g) of this Section.
(e) If the sum of the amount on deposit in any Reserve Account, plus the amount
available under all available Reserve Facilities held for such Reserve Account, is less than the
Reserve Fund Requirement for such Reserve Account, the first of Base Rental Payments thereafter
677
28
4127-3236-0228.4
received from the City under the Lease Agreement and not needed to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds on the next Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date shall be used,
first, to reinstate the amounts available under any Reserve Facilities that have been drawn upon
and, second, to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve Accounts, so that the amount
available under all available Reserve Facilities, when added to the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Fund, shall equal the Reserve Requirement for each Reserve Account; provided, however,
that such Base Rental Payments shall be allocated among all Reserve Accounts ratably without
preference or priority of any kind, according to each Reserve Account’s percentage share of the
total deficiencies in all Reserve Accounts.
(f) If, as a result of the payment of principal of or interest on any Series of Bonds, the
Reserve Requirement applicable to such Series of Bonds is reduced, amounts on deposit in the
applicable Reserve Account in excess of such reduced Reserve Requirement shall be transferred
to the related Interest Account(s) and Principal Account(s) of the Payment Fund as directed in a
Written Request of the City.
(g) On any date on which Bonds of a Series are defeased in accordance with
Section 9.02 hereof, the Trustee shall, if so directed in a Written Request of the City, transfer any
moneys in the related Reserve Account in excess of the applicable Reserve Requirement resulting
from such defeasance to the entity or fund so specified in such Written Request of the City, to be
applied to such defeasance.
(h) Moneys, if any, on deposit in a Reserve Account shall be withdrawn and applied
by the Trustee for the final payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds secured by such
Reserve Account.
Section 4.06. Rebate Fund. (a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a special fund
designated the “Rebate Fund.” There shall be deposited in the Rebate Fund such amounts as are
required to be deposited therein pursuant to the Tax Certificate, as specified in a Written Request
of the Authority or a Written Request of the City. All money at any time deposited in the Rebate
Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust, to the extent required to satisfy the Rebate Requirement,
for payment to the United States of America. Notwithstanding defeasance of the Bonds pursuant
to Article IX hereof or anything to the contrary contained herein, all amounts required to be
deposited into or on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be governed exclusively by this Section and
by the Tax Certificate (which is incorporated herein by reference). The Trustee shall be deemed
conclusively to have complied with such provisions if it follows the written directions of the
Authority or the City, and shall have no liability or responsibility to enforce compliance by the
Authority or the City with the terms of the Tax Certificate. The Trustee may conclusively rely
upon the determinations, calculations and certifications of the Authority or the City required by
the Tax Certificate. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to independently make any
calculation or determination or to review the calculations of the Authority or the City.
(b) Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after payment in full of all of the Bonds
and after payment of any amounts described in this Section, shall, upon receipt by the Trustee of
a Written Request of the City, be withdrawn by the Trustee and remitted to the City.

4127-3236-0228.4
Section 4.07. Investments. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any moneys held by
the Trustee in the funds and accounts established hereunder shall be invested by the Trustee upon
the Written Request of the City, received at least two Business Days prior to the investment date,
only in Permitted Investments, and in the absence of such direction shall be invested by the Trustee
in Permitted Investments described in clause ([__]) of the definition thereof; provided, however,
that any such investment shall be made by the Trustee only if, prior to the date on which such
investment is to be made, the Trustee shall have received a Written Request of the City specifying
a specific money market fund that satisfies the requirements of said paragraph in which such
investment is to be made and, if no such Written Request is so received, the Trustee shall hold
such moneys uninvested. The Trustee may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition
of any such investment. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss suffered in
connection with any such investment made by it under the terms of and in accordance with this
Section. The Trustee shall sell or present for redemption any obligations so purchased whenever
it shall be necessary in order to provide moneys to meet any payment of the funds so invested, and
the Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any losses resulting from any such investment
sold or presented for redemption. Permitted Investments that are registerable securities shall be
registered in the name of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any investment
directions from the City as conclusive certification to the Trustee that the investments described
therein are permitted by the general laws of the State of California applicable to investments by
cities.
(b) Investments purchased with funds on deposit in the Payment Fund shall mature not
later than the payment date immediately succeeding the investment. Investments purchased with
funds on deposit in the Redemption Fund shall be invested in Permitted Investments described in
clause (1)(a) of the definition thereof that mature on or prior to the redemption date on which such
funds are to be applied to the redemption of Bonds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, investments purchased with funds on deposit in any Reserve Account of the
Reserve Fund shall have an average aggregate weighted term to maturity of not greater than
five years; provided, however, that if such investments may be redeemed at par so as to be
available on each Interest Payment Date, any amount in such Reserve Account may be invested in
such redeemable Permitted Investments maturing on any date on or prior to the final maturity date
of the Bonds.
(c) Investments (except investment agreements) in any fund or account established
hereunder shall be valued, exclusive of accrued interest (i) not less often than annually nor more
often than monthly, and (ii) upon any draw upon any Reserve Account. All investments of
amounts deposited in any fund or account established hereunder shall be valued at the market value
thereof.
(d) Any interest or profits received with respect to investments held in any of the funds
or accounts established under this Indenture (other than any Reserve Account) shall be retained
therein. Any interest or profits received with respect to investments held in a Reserve Account
shall be transferred to the related Interest Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
transfer or disbursement shall be made from a Reserve Account only if and to the extent that, after
such transfer, the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account, together with amounts available to
be drawn on all Reserve Facilities held for such Reserve Account, if any, is at least equal to the
Reserve Requirement for such Reserve Account.

(e) The Authority and the City acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the
Comptroller of the Currency grant the Authority or the City the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, at no additional cost, to the extent permitted
by law, the Authority and the City specifically waives receipt of such confirmations. The Trustee
shall furnish the Authority and the City periodic transaction statements that include detail for all
investment transactions made by the Trustee hereunder.

NET PROCEEDS AND TITLE INSURANCE; COVENANTS
Section 5.01. Application of Net Proceeds. If the Property or any portion thereof shall
be damaged or destroyed, subject to the further requirements of this Section, the City shall, as
expeditiously as possible, continuously and diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted the
repair or replacement thereof, unless the City elects not to repair or replace the Property or the
affected portion thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.
The Net Proceeds of any insurance (other than Net Proceeds of rental interruption
insurance), including the proceeds of any self-insurance, received on account of any damage or
destruction of the Property or a portion thereof shall as soon as possible be deposited with the
Trustee and be held by the Trustee in a special account and made available for and, to the extent
necessary, shall be applied to the cost of repair or replacement of the Property or the affected
portion thereof upon receipt of a Written Request of the City, together with invoices therefor.
Pending such application, such proceeds may, pursuant to a Written Request of the City, be
invested by the Trustee in Permitted Investments that mature not later than such times as moneys
are expected to be needed to pay such costs of repair or replacement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall, within 60 days of the occurrence of the event
of damage or destruction, notify the Trustee in writing as to whether the City intends to replace or
repair the Property or the portions of the Property which were damaged or destroyed. If the City
does intend to replace or repair the Property or portions thereof, the City shall deposit with the
Trustee the full amount of any insurance deductible to be credited to the special account referred
to above.
If such damage, destruction or loss was such that there resulted a substantial interference
with the City’s right to the use or occupancy of the Property and an abatement in whole or in part
of Rental Payments results from such damage or destruction pursuant to Section 3.06 of the Lease
Agreement, then the City shall be required either to (a) apply sufficient funds from the insurance
proceeds and other legally available funds to the replacement or repair of the Property or the
portions thereof which have been damaged to the condition which existed prior to such damage or
destruction, or (b) apply sufficient funds from the insurance proceeds and other legally available
funds to the redemption, pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof (i) of all of the Outstanding Bonds, or
(ii) of such portion of the Outstanding Bonds as shall result in the remaining, non-abated Base
Rental Payments being sufficient to pay, as and when due, the principal of and interest on the
Bonds that will remain Outstanding after such redemption. If the City is required to apply funds
from the insurance proceeds and other legally available funds to the redemption of Bonds in
accordance with clause (b) above, the City shall direct the Trustee, in a Written Request of the
City, to transfer the funds to be applied to such redemption to the Redemption Fund and the Trustee
shall transfer such funds to the Redemption Fund. Any proceeds of any insurance, including the
proceeds of any self-insurance remaining after the portion of the Property which was damaged or
destroyed is restored to and made available to the City in substantially the same condition and
annual fair rental value as that which existed prior to the damage or destruction as required by
clause (a) above, or the redemption of Bonds as required by clause (b) above, in each case as
evidenced by a Written Certificate of the City to such effect, shall be deposited in the Reserve
681
32
4127-3236-0228.4
Accounts, ratably without preference or priority of any kind according to each Reserve Account’s
percentage share of the total deficiencies in all Reserve Accounts, to the extent that the amounts
therein are less than the applicable Reserve Requirement. If the City is not required to replace or
repair the Property, or the affected portion thereof, as set forth in clause (a) above, or to use such
amounts to redeem Bonds as set forth in clause (b) above, then such proceeds shall be deposited
in the Reserve Accounts, ratably without preference or priority of any kind according to each
Reserve Account’s percentage share of the total deficiencies in all Reserve Accounts, to the extent
that the amounts therein are less than the applicable Reserve Requirement. Any amounts not
required to be so deposited into the Reserve Accounts shall, if there is first delivered to the Trustee
a Written Certificate of the City to the effect that the annual fair rental value of the Property after
such damage or destruction, and after any repairs or replacements made as a result of such damage
or destruction, is at least equal to 100% of the maximum amount of Base Rental Payments
becoming due under the Lease Agreement in the then current Rental Period or any subsequent
Rental Period and the fair replacement value of the Property after such damage or destruction is at
least equal to the sum of the then unpaid principal components of Base Rental Payments, be paid
to the City to be used for any lawful purpose.
The proceeds of any award in eminent domain shall be deposited by the Trustee in the
Redemption Fund and applied to the redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof.
Section 5.02. Title Insurance. Net Proceeds of any policy of title insurance received by
the Trustee in respect of the Property shall be applied and disbursed by the Trustee as follows:
(a) if the City determines that the title defect giving rise to such proceeds has
not substantially interfered with its use and occupancy of the Property and will not result
in an abatement of Rental Payments payable by the City under the Lease Agreement, such
proceeds shall, upon Written Request of the City, be remitted to the City and used for any
lawful purpose thereof; or
(b) if the City determines that the title defect giving rise to such proceeds has
substantially interfered with its use and occupancy of the Property and will result in an
abatement in whole or in part of Rental Payments payable by the City under the Lease
Agreement, then the City shall, in a Written Request of the City, direct the Trustee to, and
the Trustee shall immediately deposit such proceeds in the Redemption Fund and such
proceeds shall be applied to the redemption of Bonds in the manner provided in
Section 3.01 hereof.

of the Base Rental Payments and other assets pledged for such payment as provided in this
Indenture and received by the Authority or the Trustee.

jurisdiction or control, as a condition of the continued enjoyment of each and every franchise, right
or privilege now owned or hereafter acquired by them, including their right to exist and carry on
their respective businesses, to the end that such franchises, rights and privileges shall be
maintained and preserved and shall not become abandoned, forfeited or in any manner impaired.
Section 5.07. Other Liens. The City shall keep the Property and all parts thereof free
from judgments and materialmen’s and mechanics’ liens and free from all claims, demands,
encumbrances and other liens of whatever nature or character, and free from any claim or liability
which materially impairs the City in conducting its business or utilizing the Property, and the
Trustee at its option (after first giving the City thirty days’ written notice to comply therewith and
failure of the City to so comply within such thirty-day period) may defend against any and all
actions or proceedings, or may pay or compromise any claim or demand asserted in any such
actions or proceedings; provided, however, that, in defending against any such actions or
proceedings or in paying or compromising any such claims or demands, the Trustee shall not in
any event be deemed to have waived or released the City from liability for or on account of any of
its agreements and covenants contained herein, or from its obligation hereunder to perform such
agreements and covenants. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any determination
made in good faith to proceed or decline to defend, pay or compromise any such claim or demand.

create or suffer to be created any pledge of or lien on the amounts on deposit in any of the funds

with the Site Lease, the Lease Agreement and this Indenture.

be appropriate for such purpose and shall indemnify and save the Trustee and every Owner
harmless from all cost, damage, expense or loss, including attorneys’ fees, which they or any of
them may incur by reason of any such cloud, defect, action, suit or other proceeding.
Section 5.09. Accounting Records and Statements. The Trustee shall keep proper
accounting records in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions of the
683
34
4127-3236-0228.4

a memorandum of the assignment of the Authority’s right, title and interest in and to the Site Lease
and the Lease Agreement pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof.
Section 5.11. Tax Covenants. (a) Neither the Authority nor the City shall take any action ,
or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take such action would adversely affect the

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Authority and the City shall comply
with the requirements of the Tax Certificate, which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth
herein. This covenant shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Series 2020A Bonds.

Authority or the City shall so instruct the Trustee in writing, and the Trustee shall take such action
as may be necessary in accordance with such instructions.
(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section, if the Authority or the City shall
provide to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any specified action required under
this Section is no longer required or that some further or different action is required to maintain
the exclusion from federal income tax of interest on the Series 2020A Bonds, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the requirements of this Section and of the
Tax Certificate, and the covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.
Section 5.12. Continuing Disclosure. The City shall comply with and carry out all of the
provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee, at the written
direction of any Participating Underwriter or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Series 2020 Bonds, shall, upon receipt of indemnification reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, or any holder or Beneficial Owner of the Series 2020 Bonds may, take

reasonably required in order to further and more fully vest in the Trustee and the Owners all
advantages, benefits, interests, powers, privileges and rights conferred or intended to be conferred

Section 6.01. Events of Default. The occurrence, from time to time, of any one or more

and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority by the Trustee, the
City or the Owners of not less than 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time
Outstanding; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, the failure
stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such 30 day period, such failure shall not
constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by the Authority within such 30 day
period and the Authority shall thereafter diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a
reasonable period of time;
(e) failure by the City to observe and perform any of the covenants, agreements or
conditions on its part in this Indenture contained, if such failure shall have continued for a period
of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, the Authority or the Owners of not less
than 5% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; provided, however,
that if, in the reasonable opinion of the City, the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but
not within such 30 day period, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective
action is instituted by the City within such 30 day period and the City shall thereafter diligently
and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period of time; or
(f) the Authority or the City shall commence a voluntary case under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any substitute or successor statute.
Section 6.02. Action on Default. In each and every case during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Owners of not less than a majority
of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding (and upon indemnification of the
Trustee to its reasonable satisfaction as provided herein), shall, upon notice in writing to the
Authority and the City, exercise any of the remedies granted to the Authority under the Lease
Agreement and, in addition, take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or
desirable to protect and enforce any of the rights vested in the Trustee or the Owners by this
Indenture or by the Bonds, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the
686
37
4127-3236-0228.4
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal or
equitable right, including any one or more of the remedies set forth in Section 6.03 hereof.
Section 6.03. Other Remedies of the Trustee. During the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Trustee shall have the right:
(a) by mandamus or other action or proceeding or suit at law or in equity to enforce its
rights against the Authority or the City or any member, director, officer or employee thereof, and
to compel the Authority or the City or any such member, director, officer or employee to perform
or carry out its or his or her duties under law and the agreements and covenants required to be
performed by it or him or her contained herein or in the Bonds;
(b) by suit in equity to enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful or violate the rights
of the Trustee or the Owners; or
(c) by suit, action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, to require the
Authority or the City, or both, to account as if it or they were the trustee or trustees of an express
trust.
Section 6.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise and may be exercised without exhausting
and without regard to any other remedy conferred by any law. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.05. Application of Amounts After Default. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, all Lease Revenues and any other funds thereafter received by the Trustee under
any of the provisions of this Indenture shall be applied by the Trustee as follows and in the
following order:
(a) to the payment of any expenses necessary in the opinion of the Trustee to protect
the interests of the Owners and payment of reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) incurred in and about the performance
of its powers and duties under this Indenture;
(b) to the payment of all amounts then due for interest on the Bonds, ratably without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts of interest on such Bonds due and
payable, with interest on the overdue interest at the rate borne by the respective Bonds; and
(c) to the payment of all amounts then due for principal of the Bonds, ratably without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts of principal of the Bonds due and
payable, with interest on the overdue principal at the rate borne by the respective Bonds.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amounts held in a Reserve Account
shall be applied by the Trustee only after the application of all Lease Revenues and other funds
pursuant to subsections (a), (b) and (c) above and shall only be applied as provided by subsections
687
38
4127-3236-0228.4
(a), (b) and (c) above toward payments related to the Series of Bonds secured by such Reserve
Account.
Section 6.06. Power of Trustee to Enforce. All rights of action under this Indenture or
the Bonds or otherwise may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit,
action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit and protection of the Owners of such Bonds, subject to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 6.07. Bond Owners Direction of Proceedings. Anything in this Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
then Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing
executed and delivered to the Trustee, and upon indemnification of the Trustee to its reasonable
satisfaction, to direct the method of conducting all remedial proceedings taken by the Trustee
hereunder; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with
law and the provisions of this Indenture, and, provided, further, that the Trustee shall have the right
to decline to follow any such direction which in the opinion of the Trustee would be unjustly
prejudicial to Owners not parties to such direction.
Section 6.08. Limitation on Bond Owners’ Right to Sue. No Owner of any Bond shall
have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for the protection or
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, the Act or any other applicable law with
respect to such Bonds, unless (a) such Owner shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, (b) the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to exercise the
powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such suit, action or proceeding in its own name, (c) such
Owner or said Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee indemnity against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, and (d) the Trustee shall have refused
or omitted to comply with such request for a period of 60 days after such written request shall have
been received by, and said tender of indemnity shall have been made to, the Trustee.
Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared,
in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of any remedy hereunder
or under law; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners shall have any right in
any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of this
Indenture or the rights of any other Owners, or to enforce any right under the Bonds, this Indenture,
the Act or other applicable law with respect to the Bonds, except in the manner herein provided,
and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any such right shall be instituted, had and
maintained in the manner herein provided and for the benefit and protection of all Owners, subject
to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 6.09. Termination of Proceedings. If any action, proceeding or suit to enforce
any right or to exercise any remedy is abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee or any
Owner, then, subject to any such adverse determination, the Trustee, such Owner, the Authority
and the City shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such action,
proceeding or suit had not been brought or taken. In case any proceedings taken by the Trustee or
any one or more Owners on account of any Event of Default shall have been discontinued or
688
39
4127-3236-0228.4
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or any Owner,
then in every such case the Trustee, such Owner, the Authority and the City, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
severally and respectively, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Trustee, the Owners,
the Authority and the City shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 6.10. No Waiver of Default. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Owner
to exercise any right or power arising upon the occurrence of any default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by this Indenture to the
Trustee or to the Owners may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.
689

4127-3236-0228.4
ARTICLE VII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 7.01. Duties and Liabilities of Trustee. The Trustee shall, prior to an Event of
Default, and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform
such duties and only such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Indenture. The
Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default which has not been cured or waived,
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
Section 7.02. Removal and Resignation of the Trustee. The Authority and the City may
by an instrument in writing, remove the Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, and shall remove the
Trustee initially a party hereto and any successor thereto if at any time (a) requested to do so by
an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the Owners of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding (or their attorneys duly authorized
in writing), or (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the following sentence,
and shall appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee shall be a commercial
bank with trust powers having a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 (or be part of a bank holding company with a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
If such bank or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the
purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such bank or trust company shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published.
The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the
Authority and the City and by giving notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such resignation
to the Owners at their addresses appearing on the Registration Books. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Authority and the City shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an
instrument in writing; provided, however, that in the event the Authority and the City do not
appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days following receipt of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the City, petition the appropriate court having jurisdiction
to appoint a successor Trustee. Any resignation or removal of a Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under this Indenture shall signify its acceptance of such
appointment by executing and delivering to the Authority and the City and to its predecessor
Trustee a written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally
named Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, at the written request of the Authority, the City or of the
successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of
conveyance or further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and
690
41
4127-3236-0228.4
interest of such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Indenture and shall
pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property subject
to the trusts and conditions herein set forth.
Any corporation, association or agency into which the Trustee may be converted or
merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust
business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party,
provided that such entity meets the combined capital and surplus requirements of this Section, ipso
facto, shall be and become successor trustee under this Indenture and vested with all the trusts,
powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 7.03. Compensation and Indemnification of the Trustee. The City shall from
time to time, subject to any written agreement then in effect with the Trustee, pay the Trustee
reasonable compensation for all its services rendered hereunder and reimburse the Trustee for all
its reasonable advances and expenditures (which shall not include “overhead expenses” except as
such expenses are included as a component of the Trustee’s stated annual fees) hereunder,
including but not limited to advances to and reasonable fees and reasonable expenses of
accountants, agents, appraisers, consultants or other experts, and counsel not directly employed by
the Trustee but an attorney or firm of attorneys retained by the Trustee, employed by it in the
exercise and performance of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not have any lien for such compensation or reimbursement against any moneys held
by it in any of the funds or accounts established hereunder.
The City shall, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and save the Trustee harmless
against any liabilities, costs, claims or expenses, including those of its attorneys, which it may
incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder and under any related
documents, including the enforcement of any remedies and the defense of any suit, and which are
not due to its negligence or its willful misconduct. The duty of the City to indemnify the Trustee
shall survive the termination and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee.
Section 7.04. Protection of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur
no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any affidavit, bond, certificate, consent,
notice, request, requisition, resolution, statement, telegram, voucher, waiver or other paper or
document which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been adopted, executed or
delivered by the proper party or pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, and the Trustee shall be
under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters
referred to in any such instrument, but may accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence
of the truth and accuracy of such statements. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the
Owners pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Owners shall have offered to the Trustee security
or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against the reasonable costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Under no
circumstances shall the Trustee request or be entitled to indemnification from the City for taking
691
42
4127-3236-0228.4
actions required by and in accordance with this Indenture, including, but not limited to, causing
payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds to be made to the Owners thereof and carrying
out redemptions of the Bonds in accordance with the terms hereof. The Trustee may consult with
counsel, who may be counsel to the Authority or the City, with regard to legal questions, and the
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any
action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith in accordance therewith.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency of the Bonds or the Lease
Agreement or for statements made in the preliminary or final official statement relating to the
Bonds, or of the title to the Property.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no provision of this Indenture shall require
the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder.
Whenever in the administration of its rights and obligations hereunder the Trustee shall
deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate of
the Authority or a Written Certificate of the City, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the
Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the provisions hereof upon the faith thereof, but in
its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require
such additional evidence as it deems reasonable.
The Trustee may buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds and may join in any
action which any Owner may be entitled to take with like effect as if the Trustee were not a party
hereto. The Trustee, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any
financial or other transaction with the Authority or the City, and may act as agent, depository or
trustee for any committee or body of Owners or of owners of obligations of the Authority or the
City as freely as if it were not the Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee may, to the extent reasonably necessary, execute any of the trusts or powers
hereof and perform any rights and obligations required of it hereunder by or through agents,
attorneys or receivers, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and
its rights and obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agent, attorney or receiver selected by it with reasonable care; provided,
however, that in the event of any negligence or misconduct of any such attorney, agent or receiver,
the Trustee shall diligently pursue all remedies of the Trustee against such agent, attorney or
receiver. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any trusts or powers hereunder or
for anything whatsoever in connection with the funds established hereunder, except only for its
own willful misconduct, negligence or breach of an obligation hereunder.

The Trustee may, on behalf of the Owners, intervene in any judicial proceeding to which
the Authority or the City is a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, affects
the Bonds or the security therefor, and shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of at least
5% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, provided the Trustee shall have
no duty to take such action unless it has been indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against all
risk or liability arising from such action.
The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this
Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic
methods, provided, however, that, the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing
persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of
such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced
whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Authority elects to give the
Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the
Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such
instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or
expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. The Authority agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception
and misuse by third parties.
Section 7.05. Appointment of Co-Trustee. It is the purpose of this Indenture that there
shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the laws of the State of
California) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in the case of litigation under this
Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement of the rights of the Trustee on default, or in
the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may
not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the
properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary
in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional institution as a
separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends.
In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional institution as a separate or co-trustee,
each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title,
interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed
to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee
but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers,
rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such
separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Any co-trustee shall be
bound by the standards of care, duties and obligations of the Trustee under this Indenture as if such
co-trustee were the Trustee. Any co-trustee shall be a national banking association, trust company
or commercial bank doing business in the State of California and at all times shall have a combined
capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If such national banking association,
trust company or commercial bank publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to
693
44
4127-3236-0228.4
law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for
the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such national banking association,
trust company or commercial bank shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
Should any instrument in writing from the Authority or the City be required by the separate
trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such
instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority
or the City. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties
and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and
be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Trustee or successor to such separate
trustee or co-trustee.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES
Section 8.01. Supplemental Indentures. (a) This Indenture and the rights and obligations
of the Authority, the City, the Trustee and the Owners hereunder may be modified or amended at
any time by a Supplemental Indenture, which the Authority, the City and the Trustee may enter
into when the prior written consents of the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds then Outstanding, exclusive of Bonds disqualified as provided in Section 10.06
hereof, are filed with the Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall (i) extend the fixed

(i) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority or the City in this
Indenture contained other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, to pledge
or assign additional security for the Bonds (or any portion thereof), or to surrender any
right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the Authority or the City;
(ii) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity,
inconsistency or omission, or of curing or correcting any defective provision contained in
this Indenture or in regard to questions arising hereunder which the Authority or the City

appropriate to assure the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of
interest on Tax-Exempt Bonds or maintain any federal interest subsidies expected to be
received with respect to any Bonds; and
695
46
4127-3236-0228.4
(v) for any other reason, provided such amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights or interests of the Owners; provided, however, that the
Authority, the City and the Trustee may rely in entering into any such amendment or
supplement upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the requirements of this paragraph
have been met with respect to such amendment or supplement.
(c) Promptly after the execution by the Authority, the City and the Trustee of any
Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall mail a notice (the form of which shall be furnished to
the Trustee by the Authority or the City), by first class mail postage prepaid, setting forth in general
terms the substance of such Supplemental Indenture, to the Owners of the Bonds at the respective
addresses shown on the Registration Books. Any failure to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such Supplemental Indenture.
Section 8.02. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution and delivery of
any Supplemental Indenture entered into pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 hereof,
this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the
respective rights, duties and obligations under this Indenture of the Authority, the City, the Trustee
and the Owners shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such
Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture
for any and all purposes.
Section 8.03. Endorsement of Bonds; Preparation of New Bonds. Bonds delivered
after the effective date of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Article may and, if the
Authority or the City so determines, shall bear a notation by endorsement or otherwise in form
approved by the Authority, the City and the Trustee as to any modification or amendment provided
for in such Supplemental Indenture and, in that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond
Outstanding at the time of such effective date, and presentation of such Bond for such purpose at
the Office of the Trustee, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bonds. If the Supplemental
Indenture shall so provide, new Bonds so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Authority,
the City and the Trustee, to any modification or amendment contained in such Supplemental
Indenture, shall be prepared and executed by the Authority and authenticated by the Trustee and,
in that case, upon demand of the Owner of any Bond Outstanding at the time of such effective
date, and presentation of such Bond for such purpose at the Office of the Trustee, such a new Bond
in equal principal amount of the same Series, interest rate and maturity shall be exchanged for such
Owner’s Bond so surrendered.
Section 8.04. Amendment of Particular Bonds. The provisions of this Article shall not
prevent any Owner from accepting any amendment or modification as to any particular Bond
owned by it, provided that due notation thereof is made on such Bond.

DEFEASANCE
Section 9.01. Discharge of Indenture. (a) If (i) the Authority shall pay or cause to be
paid or there shall otherwise be paid to the Owners of all Outstanding Bonds the principal thereof
and the interest and premium, if any, thereon at the times and in the manner stipulated herein and
therein, and (ii) all other amounts due and payable hereunder and under the Lease Agreement shall
have been paid, then the Owners shall cease to be entitled to the pledge of the Lease Revenues and
the other assets as provided herein, and all agreements, covenants and other obligations of the
Authority and the City hereunder shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be
discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Authority and
the City all such instruments as may be necessary or desirable to evidence such discharge and

pursuant hereto which are not required for the payment of the principal of and interest and
premium, if any, on the Bonds.
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, when any Bond shall
have been paid and if, at the time of such payment, each of the Authority and the City shall have
kept, performed and observed all of the covenants and promises in such Bonds and in this Indenture
required or contemplated to be kept, performed and observed by it or on its part on or prior to that
time, then this Indenture shall be considered to have been discharged in respect of such Bond and
such Bond shall cease to be entitled to the pledge of the Lease Revenues and the other assets as
provided herein, and all agreements, covenants and other obligations of the Authority and the City
hereunder shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied as to
such Bond.

replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, the safekeeping and cancellation of
Bonds, non-presentment of Bonds, and the duties of the Trustee in connection with all of the
foregoing, shall remain in effect and shall be binding upon the Trustee and the Owners and the
Trustee shall continue to be obligated to hold in trust any moneys or investments then held by the
Trustee for the payment of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds, to pay
to the Owners of the Bonds the funds so held by the Trustee as and when such payment becomes
due. Notwithstanding the discharge and satisfaction of this Indenture, the provisions of
Section 7.03 hereof relating to the compensation of the Trustee shall remain in effect and shall be
binding upon the Authority, the City and the Trustee.
Section 9.02. Bonds Deemed To Have Been Paid. (a) If moneys shall have been set
aside and held by the Trustee for the payment or redemption of any Bond and the payment of the
interest thereon to the maturity or redemption date thereof, such Bond shall be deemed to have
been paid within the meaning and with the effect provided in Section 9.01 hereof. Any

been paid within the meaning of and with the effect expressed in Section 9.01 hereof if (i) in case
any of such Bonds are to be redeemed on any date prior to their maturity date, the Authority shall
697
48

have given to the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail, on a date in

redemption date, said notice to be given in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, (ii) there shall

case may be, and the principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond, and (iii) in the event such
Bond is not by its terms subject to redemption within the next succeeding 60 days, the Authority
shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail as soon as
practicable, a notice to the owners of such Bond that the deposit required by clause (ii) above has
been made with the Trustee and that such Bond is deemed to have been paid in accordance with
this Section and stating the maturity date or redemption date upon which money is to be available
for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond. Neither the money nor the

accountants or other financial consultants concerning the matters described in subsection (b) of
this Section.

payment and discharge of the principal of, or premium or interest on, any Bonds which remain
unclaimed for two years after the date when such principal, premium or interest has become
payable, if such moneys were held by the Trustee at such date, or for two years after the date of

Trustee and the Owners any claim, remedy or right under or pursuant hereto, and any agreement,
condition, covenant or term required herein to be observed or performed by or on behalf of the
Authority or the City shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Trustee and the Owners.
Section 10.02. Successor Deemed Included in all References to Predecessor.
Whenever the Authority, the City or the Trustee, or any officer thereof, is named or referred to
herein, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor to the powers, duties and functions
that are presently vested in the Authority, the City or the Trustee, or such officer, and all
agreements, conditions, covenants and terms required hereby to be observed or performed by or
on behalf of the Authority, the City or the Trustee, or any officer thereof, shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the respective successors thereof whether so expressed or not.
Section 10.03. Execution of Documents by Owners. Any declaration, request or other

controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Authority or the City, shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Bonds
so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes

entitled thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof, but without any liability
for interest thereon.

maintained pursuant hereto by the Trustee may be established and maintained in the accounting
records of the Trustee either as an account or a fund, and may, for the purposes of such accounting
records, any audits thereof and any reports or statements with respect thereto, be treated either as
an account or a fund, but all such records with respect to all such funds and accounts shall at all
times be maintained in accordance with sound accounting practice and with due regard for the
protection of the security of the Bonds and the rights of the Owners. The Trustee may establish
such funds and accounts as it deems necessary to perform its obligations hereunder.

covenants and terms hereof and shall in no way affect the validity hereof or of the Bonds, and the
Owners shall retain all the benefit, protection and security afforded to them under any applicable
provisions of law. The Authority, the City and the Trustee hereby declare that they would have

2020[A][B] Bonds”), in the aggregate principal amount of $[__________], have also been issued
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds are
collectively referred to at the “Series 2020 Bonds.” Pursuant to and as more particularly provided
in the Indenture, Additional Bonds may be issued by the Authority payable from Lease Revenues
as provided in the Indenture on a parity with the Series 2020 Bonds. The Series 2020 Bonds and
any Additional Bonds are collectively referred to as the “Bonds.” The Indenture is entered into,
and this Bond is issued under, the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, constituting
Section 6584 et seq. of the California Government Code (the “Act”) and the laws of the State of
California.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and to any and all amendments thereof and
supplements thereto for a description of the agreements, conditions, covenants and terms securing
the Bonds, for the nature, extent and manner of enforcement of such agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms, for the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee, for the rights and
remedies of the Owners of the Bonds with respect thereto and for the other agreements, conditions,
covenants and terms upon which the Bonds are issued thereunder, to all of which provisions the
Registered Owner by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.
The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority, payable solely from the Lease
Revenues and the other assets pledged therefor under the Indenture. Neither the faith and credit
nor the taxing power of the Authority, the City or the State of California, or any political
subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Bonds. The Lease Revenues consist of all
Base Rental Payments payable by the City pursuant to the Master Lease Agreement, dated as of
[__________] 1, 2020, by and between the City, as lessee, and the Authority, as lessor, (the “Lease
Agreement”), including any prepayments thereof, any Net Proceeds and any amounts received by
the Trustee as a result of or in connection with the Trustee’s pursuit of remedies under the Lease
Agreement upon a Lease Default Event. Subject only to the provisions of the Indenture permitting
the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth therein, all of the
Lease Revenues and all amounts on deposit from time to time in the funds and accounts established
under the Indenture (other than the Rebate Fund) are pledged to the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds as provided therein, and the Lease Revenues shall not be used for any
other purpose while any of the Bonds remain Outstanding. Said pledge constitutes a first lien on
such assets. In order to secure such pledge of the Lease Revenues, the Authority has sold assigned
and transferred to the Trustee, irrevocably and absolutely, without recourse, for the benefit of the
Owners, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Site Lease and the Lease Agreement,
including, without limitation, the right to receive Base Rental Payments and the right to exercise
any remedies provided in the Lease Agreement in the event of a default by the City thereunder;
provided, however, that the Authority has retained the rights to indemnification and to payment or
reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses under the Lease Agreement.

4127-3236-0228.4
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds without coupons in Authorized
Denominations ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof).
[The Series 2020 Bonds are subject to extraordinary, optional and mandatory redemption
at the times, in the manner, at the redemption prices and upon notice as specified in the Indenture.]
Any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred upon the Registration Books
by the Person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of
transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable to the Trustee. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall
be surrendered for transfer, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and shall
deliver a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series and maturity in a like aggregate principal amount,
in any Authorized Denomination. The Trustee shall require the Owner requesting such transfer to
pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. The
Bonds may be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of
Bonds of the same Series and maturity of other Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall
require the payment by the Owner requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange.
To the extent and in the manner permitted by the terms of the Indenture, the provisions of
the Indenture may be amended or supplemented by the parties thereto.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Authority to make provision for the
payment of interest on, and the principal and premium, if any, of any of the Bond so that such
Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding under the terms of the Indenture.
This Bond shall not be entitled to any benefit, protection or security under the Indenture or
become valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication and registration
hereon endorsed shall have been executed and dated by an authorized signatory of the Trustee.
Unless this Bond is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust
Company to the Trustee for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Bond issued is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
herein.
It is hereby certified that all acts, conditions and things required by law to exist, to have
happened and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds do exist, have
happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Authority has caused this Bond to be signed in its name

Agreement between the City and the Authority, dated as of July 1, 2020 (the “Lease Agreement”).
The Authority’s right to receive the Base Rental Payments due under the Lease Agreement and to

The Bonds shall be as described in, and shall be secured under and pursuant to the Indenture.

Date (as hereinafter defined) and entered into by the City (the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”),
the Indenture, the Lease Agreement, the Site Lease and the resolution of the City authorizing the
execution and delivery of the City Documents (hereinafter defined) are collectively referred to herein
as the “City Documents.”
Section 3. Public Offering.
(a) The Underwriter agrees to make an initial public offering of all of the Bonds
at the public offering prices (or yields) set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Underwriter reserves the right to change
the public offering prices (or yields) as the Underwriter deems necessary in connection with the
marketing of the Bonds, provided that the Underwriter shall not change the interest rates set forth on
Exhibit A. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the
Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than such initial public offering prices.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the
Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the City at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate,
together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the
reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the City and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as
applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds.
All actions to be taken by the City under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be
taken on behalf of the City by the Municipal Advisor, identified herein and any notice or report to be
provided to the City may be provided to the Municipal Advisor.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, the City will treat the first price at
which 10% of each maturity of the [Series 2020A Bonds] (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the
issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP
number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). At or promptly after the execution of
this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the City the price or prices at which it has
sold to the public each maturity of [Series 2020A Bonds]. If at that time the 10% test has not been
satisfied as to any maturity of the [Series 2020A Bonds], the Underwriter agrees to promptly report
to the City the prices at which it sells the unsold [Series 2020A Bonds] of that maturity to the public.
That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until the 10%
test has been satisfied as to the [Series 2020A Bonds] of that maturity or until all [Series 2020A
Bonds] of that maturity have been sold to the public.
(d) The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or
before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering
price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A, except as otherwise set forth
therein. Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column “Hold the Offering Price Rule Used,”
as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the [Series 2020A Bonds] for
which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the City and the Underwriter agree that the
restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the City to treat the initial
offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity
(the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to
any maturity of the [Series 2020A Bonds], the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold [Series
718
4
2020A Bonds] of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to
the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
1. the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
2. the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of
the [Series 2020A Bonds] to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the
public.
The Underwriter shall promptly advise the City when it has sold 10% of that maturity of the
[Series 2020A Bonds] to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the
public, if that occurs prior to the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date.
(e) The Underwriter confirms that any selling group agreement and any retail
distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related
pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling
group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable, to:
(1) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted to it
until it is notified by the Underwriter that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the [Series
2020A Bonds] of that maturity or all [Series 2020A Bonds] of that maturity have been sold to the
public; and (2) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, in each case if and for so
long as directed by the Underwriter. The City acknowledges that, in making the representation set
forth in this subsection, the Underwriter will rely on: (A) in the event that a selling group has been
created in connection with the initial sale of the [Series 2020A Bonds] to the public, the agreement of
each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if
applicable, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires; and (B) in the
event that a retail distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the
Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply
with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, as set forth in the retail distribution agreement and
the related pricing wires. The City further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for
the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to
a retail distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement regarding the hold-the-
offering-price rule as applicable to the [Series 2020A Bonds].
(f) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a
related party to the Underwriter shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section.
Further, for purposes of this section:
1. “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party;
2. “underwriter” means: (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written
contract with the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate
in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public; and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written
contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of
the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution
agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public);
3. a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the
underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to: (A) at least 50% common
719
5
ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations
(including direct ownership by one corporation of another); (ii) more than 50% common ownership
of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct
ownership by one partnership of another); or (iii) more than 50% common ownership of the value of
the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership,
as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct
ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and
4. “sale date” means the date of execution of this Purchase Agreement by all
parties.
Section 4. The Official Statement. By its acceptance of this proposal, the Authority
and the City ratify, confirm and approve of the use and distribution by the Underwriter prior to the
date hereof of the preliminary official statement relating to the Bonds dated _______ __, 2020
(including the cover page, all appendices and all information incorporated therein and any
supplements or amendments thereto and as disseminated in its printed physical form or in electronic

Underwriter; or (ii) the Underwriter does not retain, directly or as a member of an underwriting
syndicate, an unsold balance of the Bonds for sale to the public. Unless the Underwriter gives

balances of the City as of June 30, 2019 attached as Appendix B to the Official Statement fairly
represent the receipts, expenditures and cash balances of the City. Except as disclosed in the Official
Statement or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Underwriter, there has not been any materially
adverse change in the financial condition of the City or in its operations since June 30, 2019 and
there has been no occurrence, circumstance or combination thereof which is reasonably expected to
result in any such materially adverse change.
(m) To the extent required by law, the City will undertake, pursuant to the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate, to provide annual reports and notices of certain enumerated
725
11
events. A description of this undertaking is set forth in Appendix F to the Preliminary Official
Statement and will also be set forth in the Official Statement.
(n) Any certificate signed by any officer of the City authorized to execute such
certificate in connection with the execution, sale and delivery of the Bonds and delivered to the
Underwriter shall be deemed a representation of the City to the Underwriter and the Authority as to
the statements made therein but not of the person signing such certificate.

18
their participation in the above-mentioned conferences (which did not extend beyond the date of the
Official Statement), and in reliance thereon and on the records, documents, certificates and matters
mentioned above, such counsel advises the Underwriter as a matter of fact and not opinion that,

believe that the Official Statement (any CUSIP numbers, financial, accounting, statistical, economic
or demographic data or forecasts, numbers, charts, tables, graphs, estimates, projections, assumptions
or expressions of opinion, any information about The Depository Trust Company or its book-entry
system, litigation, ratings, rating agencies or underwriting, and the Appendices to the Official
Statement, as to which no view need be expressed) as of its date contained, or as of the date of such
opinion, contains, any untrue statement or a material fact, or as of its date omitted, or as of the date of
such opinion omits, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

Counsel;
(xv) A certificate, dated the Closing Date, signed by a duly authorized
official of the Trustee in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriter;

transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Interest Account of the Payment Fund established under
the Indenture upon the written request of an Authorized Representative of the Authority as received
by the Escrow Bank, free and clear of any trust, lien, pledge or assignment securing the Prior
Bonds or otherwise existing hereunder, and (ii) to the extent such moneys will be required for such
purpose at a later date, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested or reinvested in Defeasance
Obligations maturing at times and in amounts sufficient, as certified by a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants delivered to the Escrow Bank, to make such
payment required by Section 4 hereof.
(d) All Defeasance Obligations purchased pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall be

Defeasance Obligations shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held
in trust for, the payment of the Prior Bonds as provided by Section 4 hereof.

4151-8642-2820.4
shown in the then applicable escrow verification of the nationally recognized firm of independent
certified public accountants, such excess shall be transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the
Interest Account of the Payment Fund established under the Indenture.

The Authority hereby irrevocably designates the Prior Bonds for prior redemption on the
Redemption Date as indicated in Section 4 hereof. The Authority has instructed the Prior Trustee
to provide conditional notice of optional redemption of the Prior Bonds in accordance with Section
4.03 of the Prior Indenture. The Authority hereby waives the right to rescind such notice and
deems such notice irrevocable.

successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees and servants, from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable legal fees, expenses and disbursements) of whatsoever kind
and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Escrow Bank at any
time (whether or not also indemnified against the same by the Authority or any other person under
any other agreement or instrument, but without double indemnity) in any way relating to or arising
out of the execution, delivery and performance of this Escrow Agreement, the establishment
hereunder of the Escrow Fund, the acceptance of the funds and securities deposited therein, the
purchase of any securities to be purchased thereto, the retention of such securities or the proceeds
thereof and any payment, transfer or other application of moneys or securities by the Escrow Bank
in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that the Authority
shall not be required to indemnify the Escrow Bank against the Escrow Bank’s own negligence or
willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Bank’s respective
successors, assigns, agents and employees or the material breach by the Escrow Bank of the terms
of this Escrow Agreement. In no event shall the Authority or the Escrow Bank be liable to any
person by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby other than to each other as set forth in
this Section. The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Escrow
Agreement.
Section 9. Responsibilities of Escrow Bank. The Escrow Bank and its respective
successors, assigns, agents and servants shall not be held to any personal liability whatsoever, in
tort, contract, or otherwise, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Escrow

deposited therein, the purchase of the securities to be purchased pursuant hereto, the retention of
747
5
4151-8642-2820.4
such securities or the proceeds thereof, the sufficiency of the securities or any uninvested moneys
held hereunder to accomplish the redemption of the Prior Bonds, or any payment, transfer or other
application of moneys or securities by the Escrow Bank in accordance with the provisions of this
Escrow Agreement or by reason of any non-negligent act, non-negligent omission or non-negligent
error of the Escrow Bank made in good faith in the conduct of its duties. The recitals of fact
contained in the “Whereas” clauses herein shall be taken as the statements of the Authority, and
the Escrow Bank assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Escrow Bank makes
no representation as to the sufficiency of the securities to be purchased pursuant hereto and to any
uninvested moneys to accomplish the redemption of the Prior Bonds pursuant to the Prior
Indenture or to the validity of this Escrow Agreement as to the Authority and, except as otherwise
provided herein, the Escrow Bank shall incur no liability in respect thereof. The Escrow Bank
shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties under this Escrow Agreement
except for its own negligence, willful misconduct or default, and the duties and obligations of the
Escrow Bank shall be determined by the express provisions of this Escrow Agreement. The
Escrow Bank may consult with counsel, who may or may not be counsel to the Authority, and in
reliance upon the written opinion of such counsel shall have full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in accordance
therewith. Whenever the Escrow Bank shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved
or established prior to taking, suffering, or omitting any action under this Escrow Agreement, such
matter (except the matters set forth herein as specifically requiring a certificate of a nationally
recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or an opinion of counsel of recognized
standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds) may be deemed to be conclusively
established by a written certification of the Authority. Whenever the Escrow Bank shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter specifically requiring a certificate of a nationally recognized
form of independent certified public accountants or an opinion of counsel of recognized standing
in the field of law relating to municipal bonds be proved or established prior to taking, suffering,
or omitting any such action, such matter may be established only a certificate signed by a nationally
recognized firm of certified public accountants or such opinion of counsel of recognized standing
in the field of law relating to municipal bonds.
No provision of this Escrow Agreement shall require the Escrow Bank to risk or advance
its own funds. The Escrow Bank shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request,
consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bonds or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Bank
may execute any of its powers or duties hereunder through attorneys, agents or receivers and shall
not be answerable for the actions of such attorneys, agents or receivers if selected by it with
reasonable care.
The Escrow Bank agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this
Escrow Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured
electronic methods, provided, however, that, the Escrow Bank shall have received an incumbency
certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing
specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be
amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Authority
elects to give the Escrow Bank e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar
electronic method) and the Escrow Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the
Escrow Bank’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Escrow Bank
748
6
4151-8642-2820.4
shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Escrow
Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Authority agrees to assume
all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to
the Escrow Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Escrow Bank acting on unauthorized
instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
Section 10. Amendments. The Authority and the Escrow Bank may (but only with the
consent of the Owners of all of the Prior Bonds and the Insurer) amend this Escrow Agreement or
enter into agreements supplemental to this Escrow Agreement.
Section 11. Term. This Escrow Agreement shall commence upon its execution and
delivery and shall terminate on the date upon which the Prior Bonds have been paid in accordance
with this Escrow Agreement.
Section 12. Compensation. The Authority shall from time to time pay or cause to be paid
to the Escrow Bank the agreed upon compensation for its services to be rendered hereunder, and
reimburse the Escrow Bank for all of its reasonable advances in the exercise and performance of
its duties hereunder; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Escrow Bank be
entitled to any lien whatsoever on any moneys or obligations in the Escrow Fund for the payment
of fees and expenses for services rendered or expenses incurred by the Escrow Bank under this
Escrow Agreement or otherwise.
Section 13. Severability. If any one or more of the covenants or agreements provided in
this Escrow Agreement on the part of the Authority or the Escrow Bank to be performed should
be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such covenants or
agreements shall be null and void and shall be deemed separate from the remaining covenants and
agreements herein contained and shall in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions of
this Escrow Agreement.
Section 14. Counterparts. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, all or any of which shall be regarded for all purposes as an original but all of which
shall constitute and be but one and the same instrument.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, the Authority and the Escrow Bank agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Prior Indenture.
Section 2. The Escrow Fund. (a) There is hereby established a fund (the “Escrow
Fund”) to be held as an irrevocably pledged escrow by the Escrow Bank, which the Escrow Bank
shall keep separate and apart from all other funds of the Authority and the Escrow Bank and to be
applied solely as provided in this Escrow Agreement.

hereof, the Prior Trustee is directed by the Authority to transfer such moneys to the Escrow Bank
and the Escrow Bank shall deposit such moneys in the Escrow Fund.]
(c) Upon the deposit of moneys pursuant to Section 2(b), the Authority has determined
or caused to be determined that the moneys on deposit in the Escrow Fund will be at least equal to
an amount sufficient to make the payments required by Section 4 hereof.

deposit of the moneys described in Section 2(b) and is directed by the Authority, and agrees to
invest $[__________] of such moneys in the Exhibit A Securities upon receipt of certification by
a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants that the Exhibit A
Securities will mature in such principal amounts and earn interest in such amounts and, in each
case, at such times, so that sufficient moneys will be available from maturing principal and interest
on the Exhibit A Securities, together with any uninvested moneys then held by the Escrow Bank
in the Escrow Fund, to make all payments required by Section 4 hereof. Except as provided in
Section 3(b) or Section 3(c), the balance of the moneys described in Section 2 shall be held

Securities which will continue to be held in such Escrow Fund, will mature in such principal

Securities held in an Escrow Fund, or the proceeds from any sale, transfer, redemption or other
disposition of Defeasance Securities pursuant to Section 3(b) not required for the purposes of said
Section (i) to the extent such moneys will not be required at any time for the purpose of making a
payment required by Section 4 hereof, as certified by a nationally recognized firm of independent
certified public accountants delivered to the Escrow Bank, such moneys shall be transferred to the
Trustee for deposit in the Interest Account of the Payment Fund established under the Indenture

of independent certified public accountants delivered to the Escrow Bank, to make such payment
required by Section 4 hereof.

deposited in and held for the credit of the Escrow Fund. Except as provided in this Section 3, no
moneys or Defeasance Securities deposited with the Escrow Bank pursuant to this Escrow
Agreement nor principal of, or interest payments or other investment income on, any such
Defeasance Securities shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in
trust for, the payment of the Refunded Bonds as provided by Section 4 hereof.
(e) The Owners of the Refunded Bonds shall have a first and exclusive lien on the
moneys and Defeasance Securities in the Escrow Fund until such moneys and Defeasance

all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable legal fees, expenses and disbursements) of whatsoever kind
and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Escrow Bank at any

out of the execution, delivery and performance of this Escrow Agreement, the establishment
hereunder of the Escrow Fund, the acceptance of the funds and securities deposited therein, the
purchase of any securities to be purchased thereto, the retention of such securities or the proceeds
thereof and any payment, transfer or other application of moneys or securities by the Escrow Bank

Section 9. Responsibilities of Escrow Bank. The Escrow Bank and its respective

such securities or the proceeds thereof, the sufficiency of the securities or any uninvested moneys

makes no representation as to the sufficiency of the securities to be purchased pursuant hereto and
to any uninvested moneys to accomplish the redemption of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the

suffering, or omitting any such action, such matter may be established only a certificate signed by
a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants or such opinion of counsel of
recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds.
No provision of this Escrow Agreement shall require the Escrow Bank to risk or advance
its own funds. The Escrow Bank shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request,
consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bonds or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Bank
may execute any of its powers or duties hereunder through attorneys, agents or receivers and shall
not be answerable for the actions of such attorneys, agents or receivers if selected by it with

certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing
757
6
4165-9649-5396.4
specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be
amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Authority
elects to give the Escrow Bank e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar
electronic method) and the Escrow Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the
Escrow Bank’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Escrow Bank

conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Authority agrees to assume
all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to

First I want to comment on Agenda Item #18 brought forward by Patrick Brenden. This item is asking our council to
effective close escrow and Pay for the Toxic site and Lease the Toxic property next door for eight months for
$120,000 long before we can place a shovel in the ground and a waste $120,000. We entered a agreement once
again without the required Due Diligence on who's advice ? the new staff that recently joined our city our City
Manager Oliver Chi and Community Development Director Ursula Luna, why was our City Attorney Micheal Gates
left out ? As you should know when entering escrow this is the time to place requirements as soils testing, termite
testing, land use requirements capabilities and to make sure there are no no property encumbrances as contractor
liens and a clear clean title to the property. These are to be included in the escrow instructions to be completed
Before escrow can close, NOT AFTER THE FACT. Due Diligence is to be performed before escrow is entered and
Again we have another Pipeline Shelter Fiasco. And this location was purchased under the False guise of Woman,
Children and Seniors living on our streets, while there may be a few these are not the people camping in our parks
doing drugs and leaving their needles all over. The Street People who are the major source of complaints to our
police department are stealing from our cars for the loose change and anything of value and stealing our bicycles
and setting up chop shops and selling parts and bikes swapped with parts to make them unrecognizable. The
question are you going to vote to approve such a Crazy Effort when we will be forced to delay any efforts to open a
shelter because of the conditions, OK your choice but you have been warned. This as the homeless issues explode in
our our community. What will be the True costs of the purchase of this property the clean up costs the delays
Michael Poseys SB2 funds that took away our building and development standards ? Lets get off this Crazy Train
and wake up.
Now Agenda Item #21. brought forward by Erik Peterson. This is a Get It Done and Address the Real Issuers and
Problems. Place a temporary mobile shelter facility on city owned property. Take action Now that will have a effect
on the homeless population by un-tying our police hands. Where ever we place these people we will have opposition
this is temporary until we can get help for all ages of homeless and get past the False Misrepresentation of the
numbers of Woman,Children and Seniors living on out streets. I hope you heed the advise of those looking into
these issuers without input from those who gain financially by their Homeless efforts. We have been Duped long
enough look for your selves identify the problems and issues talk to our Chief of Police Ignore the carpetbaggers
and special interests who gain profits off these people and rely on volunteer efforts and money to support their gains.
We have seen how volunteers are asked to support causes and spend their time and efforts for a cause from their
Hearts, Just take the example of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands Preservation Efforts this as Patrick Brenden collects over
$100,000 as a CEO ??? what happened to working for a cause from your Hearts and not financial Gain and Political
support. Shame on You Patrick Brenden I get it i see the Advisory Board and the Directors all the names of

File #:19-1130 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Approve for Introduction Ordinance No. 4201 repealing Chapter 8.48 and adopting a new
Chapter 8.48 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) relating to Public Nuisance
Abatement of Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled or Inoperative Vehicles
Statement of Issue:
Code Enforcement often receives requests for service from the community regarding inoperable and
abandoned vehicles on private property. There is a need to amend Huntington Beach Municipal
Code Chapter 8.48 Inoperable Vehicles to update the process for abatement of Inoperable and
Abandoned Vehicles consistent with the California Vehicle Code. If adopted by the City Council, the
proposed amendment will enable the Code Enforcement Division to be more responsive to the
citizens of Huntington Beach and improve the City’s enforcement actions.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable.
Recommended Action:
Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4201, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach
Repealing Chapter 8.48 and Adopting New Chapter 8.48 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code
Relating to Public Nuisance Abatement of Abandoned Vehicles.” (Attachment No. 1)
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Since Chapter 8.48 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code was originally adopted, updates to the
California Vehicle Code relating to the process for the abatement of inoperable vehicles have been
passed by the State. As the Community Development Department Code Enforcement Division works
to modernize the City’s processes, the need to update this code chapter has become necessary.
If the proposed amendment is adopted by the City Council, the Code Enforcement Division will be
able to cause the abatement by removal of inoperable vehicles on private property, thereby

powered by Legistar™796
File #:19-1130 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
able to cause the abatement by removal of inoperable vehicles on private property, thereby
enhancing the City’s enforcement actions.
On an annual basis, Code Enforcement receives an average of 170 reported violations of abandoned
and inoperable vehicles on private properties. The current process involves the issuance of a Notice
of Violation, Final Notice, three different levels of civil citations, and further review by the City
Attorney’s Office for other legal remedies. The entire duration of this process can take three (3) to
five (5) months before an abandoned and inoperable vehicle violation is fully resolved. The proposed
amendment provides a more efficient process for resolving these types of violations.
Environmental Status:
The proposed Huntington Beach Municipal Code amendments are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines
because there is no potential for the amendments to have a significant effect on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain high quality City services

LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
HBMC 8.48
8.48.010 Intent and Purpose
This Chapter is intended to provide a procedure for the abatement of Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled
and Inoperable Vehicles, and Vehicle Parts, and is enacted under the authority of the Huntington Beach
Charter and Section 22660 of the California Vehicle Code.
It is the intent of the City Council to provide that the abatement of public nuisances consisting of
Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled and Inoperable Vehicles may be carried on either concurrently with or
separately from the abatement of other conditions, if any, constituting a public nuisance on any premises
within the City, as deemed appropriate under the circumstances.
8.48.020 Definitions
For the purposes of this Chapter, the following terms shall mean as follows, unless the context in which
they are used clearly indicates to the contrary:
A. “Abandoned Vehicle” means a Vehicle abandoned on a street, public property or private
property in such an inoperable or neglected condition and the Director determines that the owner
relinquished all rights or interest in the Vehicle.
B. “Director” means the Director of the Department of Community Development, or his or her
designee.
C. “Dismantled Vehicle” means any Vehicle which is partially or wholly disassembled.
D. “Inoperable Vehicle” means any Vehicle in a condition that renders it unable to drive or unsafe
for operation upon a street, or in which operation upon a street would violate the Vehicle Code or any
other law or regulation related to the operation of Vehicles upon a street in the City of Huntington Beach
or the State of California.
E. “Vehicle Part” includes, but is not limited to, any item, device, component, frame, bumper,
wheel or glass associated with a Vehicle.
F. “Public Property” is any property owned by the City, or any State, County or local government
agency. Public property does not include a street.
G. “Street” means any highway, sidewalk, alley or right-of-way dedicated to the public, or

Wrecked or Part of a Vehicle.
I. “Wrecked Vehicle” means any Vehicle, or a substantial part of a Vehicle that is damaged to
such an extent that it cannot be operated upon the street. A Vehicle which has been wrecked in a traffic
accident, and which has been removed from the street to a storage facility, but which has not been
claimed by its owner, is not an Abandoned Vehicle.

where it is not visible from the street or other public or private property.

804
sworn written statement in time for consideration at the hearing and deny responsibility for the presence
of the Vehicle on the land and his/her reasons for such denial.
B. At the public hearing, the Director shall hear all relevant facts and testimony. The
Director shall determine two questions:
1. Whether the Vehicle or Vehicle Part is Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled, or Inoperable
Vehicle or Vehicle part such that it is a public nuisance.
2. Whether the City should assess the administrative costs and the costs of removal of the
Vehicle, or Vehicle Part, against the property on which it is located in consideration of the circumstances
that lead to the Vehicle or Vehicle Part being located on the property.

the Vehicle, or Vehicle Part, and the correct identification number and license number of the Vehicle, if
available at the site.

pursuant to this chapter are not paid within 30 days of the date of the order, such costs shall be assessed

the tax collector for collection. The assessment shall have the same priority as other City taxes.
8.48.110 Violation---Abandonment

File #:20-1760 MEETING DATE:7/20/2020
Submitted by Mayor Semeta - Consideration of a Prohibition on the City’s use of Public Funds
for any Tax Measure Advocacy
After assessing the situation, I believe that Huntington Beach should enact safeguards to prevent the
use of public funds to advocate for a tax measure under the guise of information or education. I am
requesting that the City Council vote to direct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution to prohibit the
City’s use of public funds for informational or educational campaigns regarding any local tax
measure. The resolution should be placed on a future City Council meeting agendafor consideration
within 30 days.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIK PETERSON, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
DATE: JULY 20, 2020
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A 40+ BED TEMPORARY EMERGENCY SHELTER
AT THE CITY’S PUBLIC WORKS YARD ON GOTHARD STREET
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City’s most recent 2019 Point in Time count for our homeless population identified 349 total
homeless individuals, out of which 289 were unsheltered. Estimates are that the number has
increased since then.
With the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has been spreading rapidly throughout the County
and the City since April of this year, a perfect storm has developed for a serious health and safety
crisis in Huntington Beach. Pursuant to the State’s direction on the homeless crisis during this
pandemic, the County of Orange has been taking steps since May of this year to get the homeless
population into shelters to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
For the safety of the homeless and the safety of our residents, we need to take action, just like
the State and the County have for months, to get the homeless off the streets and public spaces
and into shelters so that they can receive the medical treatment and safe / sanitary environment
they need. Since the pending Cameron Lane City shelter is many months away from being ready
to house the homeless, and since the City will not be able to house its homeless at that shelter
for many more months after establishment, a temporary emergency shelter must be established
and available to address the City’s growing health and safety crisis. The State has declared a State
of Emergency, and so has the County and City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Pursuant to the powers of the City to address a health and safety crisis, and pursuant to the City’s
Emergency Declaration, direct the City Manager bring back a proposal in 2 weeks for the
establishment of a 40+ bed temporary emergency shelter in the City Public Works Yard on
Gothard Street. The shelter should be considered temporary and be constructed with basic
necessities.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING – COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MIKE POSEY, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
DATE: JULY 20, 2020
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGING
HOAG MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PRESBYTERIAN FOR THEIR CONTINUED DELIVERY
OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY HEALTH CARE AND SUPPORTING THEIR EFFORTS TO
SEEK INDEPENDENCE AS A COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITAL FOR ORANGE
COUNTY
Since its founding in 1952, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian (Hoag) has provided our
community with the highest quality of health care services. Hoag initially began in Newport
Beach as a community-based hospital and has since expanded with the growth of Orange
County’s population. Hoag is now considered a top-rated medical provider that is devoted to the
health of our local communities and has served the residents of Huntington Beach well.
Hoag has demonstrated a strong commitment to our City, and it is essential to support their
mission to expand and transform their health care delivery model in the region. Their
investments in Huntington Beach include the Hoag Health Care Center and two urgent care
facilities. Hoag has also donated millions towards the Huntington Beach Senior Center in Central
Park as a sign of their continued partnership with the City.
In 2014, Hoag became affiliated with St. Joseph’s Hospital System to expand its network and
better serve the Orange County area. Two years later, St. Joseph (and therefore, Hoag) became
affiliated with Seattle-based Providence Health.
Hoag’s founders, Board of Directors, physicians, and staff believe that this affiliation with a health
care system outside Orange County does not further their mission to transform the quality of
care locally. To better serve our region’s needs, Hoag and its representatives are currently
seeking independence from Providence and a return to a community-based hospital model.
Hoag believes that this path will allow Hoag’s local physicians and staff to determine and deliver
the best course of care for Orange County patients.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to prepare a Resolution, similar to the
attached document, to support Hoag’s efforts to seek independence from its current affiliation
with Seattle-based Providence Health.
