WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:


The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit and execute project
certifications with the California Department of Transportation as it relates to the Lakeshore Boulevard
Emergency Relief Storm Damage Repair Project, Federal-aid number ER 4403(003).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Lakeshore Boulevard Emergency Relief Storm Damage Repair Project is associated with storm damage
occurring during the winter storms of 2005 and 2006. The primary objective of the project is to remove the
existing roadway embankment rock slope protection located along the shoreline of Clear Lake along an
approximately 500 foot section of Lakeshore Boulevard between Sayre and Jones Streets, and replace it with a
more durable form of roadway protection and to replace the damaged section of road, curb, and gutter.
In 2014 Caltrans provided notice to the City that it would be cancelling the funding for this project due to lack of
progress. The City was able to negotiate a special extension through September of this year in order to
complete the required engineering and other technical studies to make the project ready for construction. The
resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit project certifications to Caltrans related to this project is
necessary in order to complete this project within the stated time frame.

Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit and execute project certifications with Caltrans
related to the Lakeshore Boulevard Emergency Relief Storm Damage Repair Project or provide other direction to
staff.

RE: Consider a Resolution Adopting a New Records Retention
Schedule, Authorizing the Destruction of Certain City Records
and Rescinding Resolution 2428 (2011)
SUBMITTED BY:

MEETING DATE:

8/18/2015

Hilary Britton, Administrative Services Department Secretary

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Information only

Discussion

Action Item

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:


The City Council is being asked to consider a resolution to adopt a new Records Retention Schedule. The City is
upgrading its records management program, including its records retention policies. The adoption of this
retention schedule will result in efficiency gains and cost savings.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Administrative Services Director and City Clerk have been working on upgrading the Citys Records
Management Program, including its records retention policies. The City adopted the Statewide Guidelines for
their records retention policy in 2011 (Resolution 2428 (2011). The upgrade of the current records management
systems are driven by many factors, including:

Very limited space in City facilities


o

Many Departments reported they are out of space to store their records.

Many departments are filing and storing copies of the same records

The City of Lakeport produces and manages many permanent records

Escalating records storage expenses

Technology advancements

Changes in law

The City selected Gladwell Governmental Services, Inc., an expert in local government records, to upgrade its
records management program. An upgrade in the existing program was necessary to reduce current and future
records storage costs, eliminate duplication of effort, increase efficiency and take advantage of current
technology and changes in law.
The purpose of the program is to apply efficient and economical methods to the creation, utilization,
maintenance, retention, preservation and disposal of all records managed by the City.
The retention periods are in compliance with all laws and are standard business practice for California cities.

Meeting Date: 08/18/2015

Page 1

Agenda Item# IV.I.

The new retention schedules were written interactively with representatives from all departments participating
in the project. They provide clear, specific records descriptions and retention periods, and apply current law and
technology to the management of Lakeports records. By identifying which department is responsible for
maintaining the original record, and by establishing clear retention periods for different categories of records,
the City will realize savings in labor costs, storage costs, free filing cabinet and office space, and realize
operational efficiencies.

Adopt updated retention schedule or provide direction to staff.

HOW TO USE RETENTION SCHEDULES


1995-2015 Gladwell Governmental Services, Inc. (909) 337-3516 - all rights reserved
Do not duplicate or distribute without prior written permission

A legend explaining the information presented in the retention schedule has been printed on the back of
each page for your easy reference; an index to locate records is also provided.
The specified retention period applies regardless of the media of the record: If a record is stored on paper
and a computer file on a hard drive, both records should be destroyed (or erased) after the specified
period of time has elapsed.
Copies or duplicates of records should never be retained longer than the prescribed period for the original
record.
STRUCTURE: CITYWIDE, DEPARTMENTS & DIVISIONS
The Citywide retention schedule includes those records all departments have in common (letters,
memorandums, purchase orders, etc.). These records are NOT repeated in the Department retention
schedule, unless that department is the Office of Record, and therefore responsible for maintaining the
original record for the prescribed length of time.
Each department has a separate retention schedule that describes the records that are unique to their
department, or for which they are the Office of Record. Where appropriate, the department retention
schedules are organized by Division within that Department. If a record is not listed in your department
retention schedule, refer to the Citywide retention schedule. An index will be provided for your reference.
BENEFITS
This retention schedule has been developed by Diane R. Gladwell, MMC, an expert in Municipal
Government records, and will provide the City with the following benefits:
Reduce administrative expenses, expedite procedures
Free filing cabinet and office space
Reduce the cost of records storage
Eliminate duplication of effort within the City
Find records faster
Easier purging of file folders
Determine what media should be used to store records
For questions, please contact the City Clerk.
Authorization to Destroy Records:
All original records that have exceeded their retention period must be authorized according to City Policies
& Procedures prior to destroying them.
Copies, drafts, notes and non-records do NOT require authorization, and can be destroyed When No
Longer Required.

If there is a minimum retention ( Minimum 2 years"), it must be authorized before it is


destroyed, as it is an original record.

If there is NOT a minimum retention ("When No Longer Required"), it does NOT need to be
authorized prior to destruction, as it is a preliminary draft / transitory record or a copy.

On every page of the schedules (near the top, just under the column headings) are important
instructions, including instructions regarding holds on destroying records. Litigation,
complaints, claims, public records act requests, audits and/or investigations suspend
normal retention periods (retention resumes after settlement or completion).

RE: Resolution Opposing AB 113
SUBMITTED BY:

MEETING DATE:

08/18/2015

Margaret Silveira, City Manager

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Information only

Discussion

Action Item

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:


The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution opposing AB 113.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
AB 113, a budget trailer bill introduced on June 18, 2015 and amended July 9, 2015, reverses and revises key
provisions of the redevelopment dissolution laws offered to local agencies as incentives for resolving issues with
the Department of Finance and obtaining a finding of completion. These were promises that were made to
cities in AB 1484 of 2012. Agencies that did so would be rewarded with the ability to have previous city-RDA
loans repaid at interest rates benchmarked against a conservative fund managed by the State Treasurer. Now
that 85% of the successor agencies in the State have made the concessions to the Department of Finance
necessary to obtain these findings, AB 113 seeks to change the rules.

The two provisions of AB 113 causing the most concern are:

1. Reversing the Watsonville Court of Appeal decision that upheld the very common (and lawful)
practice in which a city and its redevelopment agency agreed that the city would pay for public
improvements or services needed to implement the redevelopment project and be repaid by the
redevelopment agency with tax increment funds.

2. Reversing the Glendale Court of Appeal decision that upheld the methodology described in AB
1484 for calculating accrued interest on loans between the redevelopment agency and the city
that were reinstated after receiving a finding of completion.

Reversal of these two Court decisions will cost successor agencies substantially more money than
will be saved by any purported beneficial provisions included in AB 113.
In addition, the Department of Finance, through AB 113, seeks to insulate itself from legal
challenge to the decisions it makes about how to implement the law by (1) exempting itself from
the Administrative Procedures Act; and (2) denying successor agencies funding for legal
representation to challenge the Department of Finance in court.

Since the introduction of AB 113, the Department of Finance has made a series of misleading and
incomplete statements to cities and the Legislature on the impacts of AB 113. Most recently on
Meeting Date: 08/18/2015

Page 1

Agenda Item #IV.J.

August 3, 2015, the Department of Finance sent an email to numerous Successor Agencies
describing the purported administrative benefits afforded to Successor Agencies in Assembly
Bill 113. The Department of Finance is mainly referring to:

1. The change from a bi-annual to an annual filing of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS); and
2. The opportunity to participate in the Last and Final ROPS process.

As the Department of Finance notes in its August 3 email, these proposals will purportedly reduce
the administrative workload of our staff.
The potential, but difficult to quantify, benefits of reducing the administrative workload of
complying with the Dissolution Law, are far out-weighed by the serious negative fiscal impact of
other provisions of Assembly Bill 113, which the Department of Finance fails to mention in its
email.
With respect to the impacts of AB 113 on the City of Lakeport, staff has identified the following
specific concerns:

AB 113 will negatively affect approximately 100 California cities, which provide invaluable public
services to California communities, including fire protection, law enforcement, community parks
and recreation programs, safe drinking water delivery and wastewater collection, and many
others. These services are what make California a beautiful, safe, and enjoyable place to live, raise
a family, and enjoy retirement.

RESOLUTION NO. XXXX(2015)


RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT OPPOSING AB 113
WHEREAS, in 2011 the Legislature enacted AB 1X 26 which dissolved redevelopment agencies
formed under the Community Redevelopment Law; and
WHEREAS, in 2012 the Legislature amended AB 1X 26 by enacting AB 1484 which required
redevelopment agencies to make three payments for the benefit of taxing entities; and
WHEREAS, AB 1484 included certain statutory provisions that were intended to provide
incentives for the prompt and accurate submittal of these three payments by the successor agencies to
the former redevelopment agencies; and
WHEREAS, one of these incentives allowed a successor agencys oversight board to approve the
reinstatement of loan agreements, including the payment of accrued interest, between the city or
county and the former redevelopment agency which had previously had been made unlawful by the
terms of AB 1X 26; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to the enactment of AB 1484, approximately 85% of successor agencies
made the three payments required by AB 1484 and received Findings of Completion; and
WHEREAS, the oversight boards of many of these successor agencies approved the
reinstatement of loan agreements at the interest rate provided for in AB 1484 only to have those
actions disapproved by the Department of Finance; and
WHEREAS, the courts of appeal have rejected the Department of Finances interpretation of
the phrase loan agreement and method of calculating the interest rate (Watsonville and Glendale);
and
WHEREAS, the Department of Finance, in AB 113, is attempting to reverse and revise these key
provisions of the dissolution laws offered to local agencies as incentives for making the required
payments and resolving other issues with the Department of Finance; and
WHEREAS, in addition to undoing the promises made to local agencies in AB 1484, AB 113
contains several provisions that would tip the balance on matters of interpretation of dissolution laws
even further by exempting the Department of Finance from the Administrative Procedures Act and
eliminating language in the law that was previously agreed to by the Department of Finance and the
Legislature in 2012 that enabled successor agencies to fund legal representation in the only due
process forum where Department of Finance staff decisions could be reviewed-- Sacramento County
Superior Court.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lakeport as follows:
1. As locally elected legislators, we are committed to abiding by the promises we make. We
urge the State Legislature to do the same by defeating AB 113 which breaks the promises the
Legislature made to local agencies in the enactment of AB 1484.

-1-

2. One of the purposes of our court system is to adjudicate the meaning and application of statutory
enactments. We urge the State Legislature to accept the decisions of the courts of appeal in the
Watsonville (definition of loan agreement) and Glendale (methodology for calculating interest rate)
and defeat AB 113, which seeks to reverse both of these court decisions.
3. We further urge the State Legislature to defeat AB 113 because it unfairly denies access to the court
system for successor agencies by disallowing funding for legal representation.
4. AB 113 will negatively affect approximately 100 California cities, which provide invaluable public
services to California communities, including fire protection, law enforcement, community parks and
recreation programs, safe drinking water delivery and wastewater collection, and many others. These
services are what make California a beautiful, safe, and enjoyable place to live, raise a family, and enjoy
retirement.
5. The provisions of AB 113 that are described as streamlining do not offset the negative impact of
the provisions discussed in this resolution.
This Resolution was passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Lakeport at a regular
meeting held on the 18th day of August, 2015.

RE:

AB 113 Redevelopment Dissolution - Notice of Opposition

Dear Senator Leno:


On behalf of the City of Lakeport, I regret to notify you of our opposition to AB 113 which contains the
Governors Budget Proposal Affecting Redevelopment Dissolution.
This proposal reverses and constricts previous incentives and due process offered to cities. These
include efforts to narrow the definition of loans to be repaid and reduce interest rates. Other
provisions further insulate DOF decisions from review via an exemption from the Administrative
Procedures Act and limiting local agencies ability to pay for attorneys in Court. Besides moving the goal
posts and changing the rules, these provisions cause the greatest harm to the interests of affected
agencies.
AB 113 will negatively affect approximately 100 California cities, which provide invaluable public services
to California communities, including fire protection, law enforcement, community parks and recreation
programs, safe drinking water delivery and wastewater collection, and many others. These services are
what make California a beautiful, safe, and enjoyable place to live, raise a family, and enjoy retirement.
The Department of Finance had a full hand in drafting the laws the Courts are interpreting. Now they
want to turn back the clock. If local governments are expected to comply with and respect these laws,
then the state should as well and not seek to insert new retroactive provisions that would cause further
fiscal harm to cities, which have already been harmed enough though the loss of redevelopment.
The City of Lakeport respectfully urges your opposition to this proposal unless the harmful provisions
are removed.
Sincerely,
Martin Scheel
Mayor

City Letters Received in Opposition to DOF Budget Proposal Affecting Redevelopment Dissolution as of July 22,
2015

_____________________________________________________________________________
Legislators have been seeking an updated list of opposition to AB 113. Since January, many cities have submitted letters to the
Legislature in opposition to the Department of Finances (DOF) proposal affecting redevelopment dissolution. In its earliest forms this
proposal was referenced by various RN numbers from Legislative Counsel, then on June 18th first appeared in print in AB 113. Over
the last several weeks, the League has reached out to cities that had previously sent letters to confirm their position on AB 113 in its
current form. We have checked with each city below on their position. While several cities have withdrawn opposition, as of July 22nd,
the cities listed below report to us that they remain opposed unless the harmful provisions of AB 113 are removed. We have also
encouraged cities to update their letters accordingly.

Discussion

Action Item

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:


City Council is being asked to support the League of California Cities Fix our Roads Campaign and approve
a resolution urging the State to provide new sustainable funding for state and local transportation
infrastructure.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Our state lacks funding to address these critical deficiencies. Local streets and roads face an estimated
shortfall of $78 billion in deferred maintenance.
Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. has called an Extraordinary Session to address the immense underfunding
of Californias transportation infrastructure. In response to the Governors Proclamation calling an
Extraordinary Session on Transportation and Infrastructure, the Leagues Board of Directors formally
adopted a resolution urging Governor Brown and the legislature to provide new sustainable funding for
state and local transportation infrastructure. The League and many cities have been actively lobbying this
year for a significant investment in transportation infrastructure.
A broad coalition of cities, counties, labor, business, public safety and transportation advocates has formed
to meet the Governors call to address Californias chronic transportation infrastructure funding shortfall.
During the 2015 special session on transportation, this coalition supports the following priorities:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Make a significant investment in transportation infrastructure.


Focus on maintaining and rehabilitating the current system.
Invest a portion of diesel tax and/or cap & trade revenue to high-priority goods movement projects.
Raise revenues across a broad range of potions
Equal split between state and local projects
Strong accountability requirements to protect the taxpayers investment.
Provide consistent annual funding levels.

The priorities are detailed in the attached fact sheet titled, Problem: California lacks adequate funding to fix
crumbling roads, highways, bridges and transportation infrastructure.

RESOLUTION NO.______ (2015)


A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKEPORT, CALIFORNIA, URGING THE STATE TO PROVIDE NEW SUSTAINABLE
FUNDING FOR STATE AND LOCAL TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
WHEREAS, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. has called an extraordinary session to
address the immense underfunding of Californias transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets and
roads in California, and from the moment we open our front door to drive to work, bike to
school, or walk to the bus station, people are dependent upon a safe, reliable local
transportation network; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport has participated in efforts with the California State
Association of Counties, League of California Cities, and Californias Regional Transportation
Planning Agencies to study unmet funding needs for local roads and bridges, including
sidewalks and other essential components; and
WHEREAS, the resulting 2014 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs
Assessment, which provides critical analysis and information on the local transportation
networks condition and funding needs, indicates that the condition of the local transportation
network is deteriorating as predicted in the initial 2008 study; and
WHEREAS, the results show that Californias local streets and roads are on a path of
significant decline. On a scale of zero (failed) to 100 (excellent), the statewide average
pavement condition index (PCI) is 66, placing it in the at risk category where pavements will
begin to deteriorate much more rapidly and require rehabilitation or rebuilding rather than
more cost-effective preventative maintenance if funding is not increased; and
WHEREAS, the results show that the City of Lakeports local streets have an average
pavement index of 40, placing them in the Poor category; and
WHEREAS, if funding remains at the current levels, in 10 years, 25 percent of local
streets and roads in California will be in failed condition; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties need an additional $1.7 billion just to maintain a status
quo pavement condition of 66, and much more revenue to operate the system with Best
Management Practices, which would reduce the total amount of funding needed for
maintenance in the future; and

WHEREAS, models show that an additional $3 billion annual investment in the local
streets and roads system is expected to improve pavement conditions statewide from an
average at risk condition to an average good condition; and
WHEREAS, if additional funding isnt secured now, it will cost taxpayers twice as much
to fix the local system in the future, as failure to act this year will increase unmet funding needs
for local transportation facilities by $11 billion in five years and $21 billion in ten years; and
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well-paying
construction jobs and boosts local economies; and
WHEREAS, the local street and road system is also critical for farm to market needs,
interconnectivity, multimodal needs, and commerce; and
WHEREAS, police, fire, and emergency medical services all need safe reliable roads to
react quickly to emergency calls and a few minutes of delay can be a matter of life and death;
and
WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good
condition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the
pedestrian experience safer and more appealing, which leads to reduce vehicle emissions
helping the State achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail also reduces construction time which results
in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the local system, the state highway system needs an additional
$5.7 billion annually to address the states deferred maintenance; and
WHEREAS, in order to bring the local system back into a cost-effective condition, at least
$7.3 billion annually in new money going directly to cities and counties; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the City of Lakeport strongly urges the Governor and
Legislature to adopt the following priorities for funding Californias streets and roads.
1. Make a significant investment in transportation infrastructure. Any
package should seek to raise at least $6 billion annually and should remain in
place for at least 10 years or until an alternative method of funding our
transportation system is agreed upon.
2. Focus on maintaining and rehabilitating the current system. Repairing
Californias streets and highways involves much more than fixing potholes. It
requires major road pavement overlays, fixing unsafe bridges, providing safe

access for bicyclists and pedestrians, replacing storm water culverts, as well
as operational improvements that necessitate the construction of auxiliary
lanes to relieve traffic congestion choke points and fixing design deficiencies
that have created unsafe merging and other traffic hazards. Efforts to supply
funding for transit in addition to funding for roads should also focus on fixing
the system first.
3. Equal split between state and local projects. We support sharing revenue
for roadway maintenance equally (50/50) between the state and cities and
counties, given the equally-pressing funding needs of both systems, as well
as the longstanding historical precedent for collecting transportation user
fees through a centralized system and sharing the revenues across the entire
network through direct subventions. Ensuring that funding to local
governments is provided directly, without intermediaries, will accelerate
project delivery and ensure maximum accountability.
4. Raise revenues across a broad range of options. Research by the California
Alliance for Jobs and Transportation California shows that voters strongly
support increased funding for transportation improvements. They are much
more open to a package that spreads potential tax or fee increases across a
broad range of options, including fuel taxes, license fees, and registration
fees, rather than just one source. Additionally, any package should move
California toward an all-users pay structure, in which everyone who benefits
from the system contributes to maintaining it from traditional gasolinefueled vehicles, to new hybrids or electric vehicles, to commercial vehicles.
5. Invest a portion of diesel tax and/or cap & trade revenue to high-priority
goods movement projects. While the focus of a transportation funding
package should be on maintaining and rehabilitating the existing system,
California has a critical need to upgrade the goods movement infrastructure
that is essential to our economic well-being. Establishing a framework to
make appropriate investments in major goods movement arteries can lay the
groundwork for greater investments in the future that will also improve air
quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
6. Strong accountability requirements to protect the taxpayers investment.
Voters and taxpayers must be assured that all transportation revenues are
spent responsibly. Local governments are accustomed to employing

transparent processes for selecting road maintenance projects aided by


pavement management systems, as well as reporting on the expenditure of
transportation funds through the State Controllers Local Streets and Roads
Annual Report.
7. Provide Consistent Annual Funding Levels. Under current statute, the
annual gas tax adjustment by the Board of Equalization is creating extreme
fluctuations in funding levels a $900 million drop in this budget year alone.
A transportation funding package should contain legislation that will create
more consistent revenue projections and allow Caltrans and transportation
agencies the certainty they need for longer term planning.
The foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City
Council on the 18th day of August, 2015, by the following vote:

Problem: California lacks adequate funding to fix


crumbling roads, highways, bridges and transportation
infrastructure.
Californias network of roads and highways are critical to our quality of life and
economy. Yet the condition of our deteriorating network of roads is staggering:

Our crumbling roads cost motorists nearly $600 a year per driver for
vehicle maintenance.

California has the second highest share of roads in poor condition in the nation.

58% of state roads need rehabilitation or pavement maintenance.

California has 6 of 10 cities with the worst road conditions in the nation.

55% of local bridges require rehabilitation or replacement.

Nearly 70% of Californias urban roads and highways are congested.

Without additional funding, 1/4 of local streets and roads will be in failed condition by 2024.

Our state lacks adequate funding to address these critical deficiencies:

Local streets and roads face an estimated shortfall of $78 billion in deferred maintenance and
an annual shortfall of $7.8 billion.

CalTrans faces a $59 billion backlog in deferred maintenance and an annual shortfall in the
State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) of $5.7 billion.

Solution: A responsible, accountable solution to fix our roads.


A broad coalition of cities, counties, labor, business, public safety and transportation advocates has
formed to meet the Governors call to address Californias chronic transportation infrastructure
funding shortfall. During the 2015 special session on transportation, we support the following
priorities:
1. Make a significant investment in transportation infrastructure.
If we are to make a meaningful dent that demonstrates tangible benefits to taxpayers and
drivers, any package should seek to raise at least $6 billion annually and should remain in place
for at least 10 years or until an alternative method of funding our transportation system is
agreed upon.
2. Focus on maintaining and rehabilitating the current system.
Repairing Californias streets and highways involves much more than fixing potholes. It
requires major road pavement overlays, fixing unsafe bridges, providing safe access for
bicyclists and pedestrians, replacing storm water culverts, as well as operational improvements
that necessitate, among other things, the construction of auxiliary lanes to relieve traffic
congestion choke points and fixing design deficiencies that have created unsafe merging and
other traffic hazards.
Efforts to supply funding for transit in addition to funding for roads should also focus on fixing
the system first.

3. Invest a portion of diesel tax and/or cap & trade revenue to high-priority goods
movement projects.
While the focus of a transportation funding package should be on maintaining and
rehabilitating the existing system, California has a critical need to upgrade the goods movement
infrastructure that is essential to our economic well-being. Establishing a framework to make
appropriate investments in major goods movement arteries can lay the groundwork for greater
investments in the future that will also improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
4. Raise revenues across a broad range of options.
Research by the California Alliance for Jobs and Transportation California shows that voters
strongly support increased funding for transportation improvements. They are much more
open to a package that spreads potential tax or fee increases across a broad range of options
rather than just one source. Additionally, any package should move California toward an allusers pay structure in which everyone who benefits from the system contributes to maintaining
it - from traditional gasoline-fueled vehicles, to hybrids, alternative fuel and or electric vehicles,
to commercial vehicles. Our coalition supports:

Reasonable increases in:


o
o

Gasoline and diesel excise taxes.


Vehicle registration and vehicle license fees.

Dedicating a portion of the cap and trade revenue paid by motorists at the pump to
transportation projects that reduce greenhouse emissions.

Ensuring existing transportation revenues are invested in transportation-related


purposes (i.e. truck weight fees and fuel taxes for off-road vehicles that are currently
being diverted into the general fund).

User charge for electric and other non-fossil fuel powered vehicles that currently do not
contribute to road upkeep.

5. Equal split between state and local projects.


We support sharing revenue for roadway maintenance equally (50/50) between the state and
cities and counties. Funding to local governments should be provided directly (no
intermediaries) to accelerate projects and ensure maximum accountability.
6. Strong accountability requirements to protect the taxpayers investment.
Voters and taxpayers must be assured that all transportation revenues are spent responsibly.
Authorizing legislation should:

Constitutionally protect transportation revenues for transportation infrastructure only.


Time and again (Prop 42, 2002; Prop 1A, 2006; Prop 22, 2010), voters have
overwhelmingly supported dedicating and constitutionally protecting transportation
dollars for those purposes. We strongly support protections that prohibit using
transportation dollars for other purposes.

Repay existing transportation loans and end ongoing diversions of transportation


revenues, including approximately $850 million in loans to the general fund and the
annual loss of approximately $140 million in off-highway vehicle fuel taxes.

Strong accountability requirements to protect the taxpayers investment


(Continued).

Establish performance and accountability criteria to ensure efficient and effective use
of all funding. All tax dollars should be spent properly, and recipients of new revenues
should be held accountable to the taxpayers, whether at the state or local level.
Counties and cities should adopt project lists at public hearings and report annually to
the State Controllers Office regarding all transportation revenues and expenditures.
Local governments should also commit to ensuring any new revenues supplement
revenues currently invested in transportation projects. Both Caltrans and local
governments can demonstrate and publicize the benefits associated with new
transportation investments.

Caltrans reform and oversight. To increase Caltrans effectiveness, provide stronger


oversight by the state transportation commission of the programs funded by new
revenues and establish an Inspector General office to provide accountability. Reduce
Caltrans administrative budgets through efficiency reviews with all savings to be spent
on road improvements.

Expedite project delivery. More should be done to streamline project delivery,


including but not limited to:
o Establishing timelines for actions required by state agencies and eliminating
other permit delays.
o Increased implementation of alternative delivery systems that encourage more
investment from the private sector.
o Reforms to speed project completion.

7. Provide Consistent Annual Funding Levels.


Under current statute, the annual gas tax adjustment by the Board of Equalization is creating
extreme fluctuations in funding levels -- a $900 million drop in this budget year alone. A
transportation funding package should contain legislation that will create more consistent
revenue projections and allow Caltrans and transportation agencies the certainty they need for
longer term planning. While this change would not provide any new revenue to transportation,
it would provide greater certainty for planning and project delivery purposes.

WHEREAS, models show that an additional $3 billion annual investment in the local streets and
roads system is expected to improve pavement conditions statewide from an average at risk condition to
an average good condition; and
WHEREAS, if additional funding isnt secured now, it will cost taxpayers twice as much to fix the
local system in the future, as failure to act this year will increase unmet funding needs for local
transportation facilities by $11 billion in five years and $21 billion in ten years; and
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well-paying construction jobs
and boosts local economies; and

WHEREAS, the local street and road system is also critical for farm to market needs,
interconnectivity, multimodal needs, and commerce; and
WHEREAS, police, fire, and emergency medical services all need safe reliable roads to react
quickly to emergency calls and a few minutes of delay can be a matter of life and death; and
WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good condition will
reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian experience
safer and more appealing, which leads to reduce vehicle emissions helping the State achieve its air
quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail also reduces construction time which results in less
air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the local system, the state highway system needs an additional $5.7
billion annually to address the states deferred maintenance; and
WHEREAS, in order to bring the local system back into a cost-effective condition, at least $7.3
billion annually in new money going directly to cities and counties; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES strongly urges the Governor and Legislature to identity a sufficient
and stable funding source for local street and road and state highway maintenance and rehabilitation to
ensure the safe and efficient mobility of the traveling public and the economic vitality of California.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES strongly urges the Governor
and Legislature to adopt the following priorities for funding Californias streets and roads.
1. Make a significant investment in transportation infrastructure. Any package
should seek to raise at least $6 billion annually and should remain in place for at
least 10 years or until an alternative method of funding our transportation system is
agreed upon.
2. Focus on maintaining and rehabilitating the current system. Repairing
Californias streets and highways involves much more than fixing potholes. It requires
major road pavement overlays, fixing unsafe bridges, providing safe access for
bicyclists and pedestrians, replacing storm water culverts, as well as operational
improvements that necessitate the construction of auxiliary lanes to relieve traffic
congestion choke points and fixing design deficiencies that have created unsafe
merging and other traffic hazards. Efforts to supply funding for transit in addition to
funding for roads should also focus on fixing the system first.
3. Equal split between state and local projects. We support sharing revenue for
roadway maintenance equally (50/50) between the state and cities and counties,
given the equally-pressing funding needs of both systems, as well as the
longstanding historical precedent for collecting transportation user fees through a
centralized system and sharing the revenues across the entire network through direct
subventions. Ensuring that funding to local governments is provided directly, without
intermediaries, will accelerate project delivery and ensure maximum accountability.

4. Raise revenues across a broad range of options. Research by the California


Alliance for Jobs and Transportation California shows that voters strongly support
increased funding for transportation improvements. They are much more open to a
package that spreads potential tax or fee increases across a broad range of options,
including fuel taxes, license fees, and registration fees, rather than just one source.
Additionally, any package should move California toward an all-users pay structure,
in which everyone who benefits from the system contributes to maintaining it from
traditional gasoline-fueled vehicles, to new hybrids or electric vehicles, to commercial
vehicles.
5. Invest a portion of diesel tax and/or cap & trade revenue to high-priority goods
movement projects. While the focus of a transportation funding package should be
on maintaining and rehabilitating the existing system, California has a critical need to
upgrade the goods movement infrastructure that is essential to our economic wellbeing. Establishing a framework to make appropriate investments in major goods
movement arteries can lay the groundwork for greater investments in the future that
will also improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
6. Strong accountability requirements to protect the taxpayers investment. Voters and
taxpayers must be assured that all transportation revenues are spent responsibly. Local
governments are accustomed to employing transparent processes for selecting road
maintenance projects aided by pavement management systems, as well as reporting on the
expenditure of transportation funds through the State Controllers Local Streets and Roads
Annual Report.
7. Provide Consistent Annual Funding Levels.
Under current statute, the annual gas tax adjustment by the Board of Equalization is creating
extreme fluctuations in funding levels -- a $900 million drop in this budget year alone. A
transportation funding package should contain legislation that will create more consistent
revenue projections and allow Caltrans and transportation agencies the certainty they need
for longer term planning. While this change would not provide any new revenue to
transportation, it would provide greater certainty for planning and project delivery purposes.

BUSINESS ASSISTANCE (BA) LOAN PROGRAM GUIDELINES
1.0

INTRODUCTION

The City of Lakeport here after call Lender has established a Business Assistance
Loan Program, here after called the Program. The Program is designed to use public
tax payer dollars to stimulate economic growth and improve living conditions of low /
moderate income residents in Lenders community. The Program provides low cost
loans to eligible for profit businesses. In return, businesses are required to provide
documentation of public benefit (normally creating new job positions) and meeting a
national objective (normally filling most of the new job positions with persons qualified
as low -moderate income and living in the jurisdiction or nearby within the community).
These Program guidelines describe policies and procedures required for award of loan
funds to eligible borrowers. The guidelines have been adopted via resolution by the
Lender and approved by the California Department of Housing and Community
Development, here after called Department.
2.0

BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OVERVIEW

2.1

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR

The Lender has secured the services of a qualified program administrator here after
called the Administrator. The Administrator will be charged with originating business
assistance loans,documenting compliance with CDBG regulations and these Program
guidelines. The contact information for the Administrator is:
Name:
Jeff Lucas
Agency:
Community Development Services
Address:
3895 Main Street Kelseyville CA 95451
Phone Number: 707-279-1540
E: Mail Address: jefflucas@mchsi.com

2.2
PROGRAM SERVICE AREA
Financing under this Program is available to all eligible businesses physically located
within the jurisdictional limits of the Lender. These funds may not be used in
jurisdictions that receive CDBG funds from the federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) entitlement program. This Program is subject to CDBG
service area requirement of substantially benefiting residents in the service area.
2.3

SOURCE OF PROGRAM FUNDS

The Program is capitalized with CDBG federal funds provided byHUD to the
Department, who in turn provides the CDBG funds to the Lender. As such, CDBG
funds are federal money administered by the Department so both federal and state laws
and regulatory requirements must be followed.
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 1

EXHIBIT A

CDBG funds come to the Lender from two sources: 1) active grant contract agreement
between the Department and Lender originating from annual competitive application
process; 2) CDBG program income administered under PI reuse agreement between
Department and Lender.
3.0

CDBG PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

3.1
ELIGIBLE LOAN APPLICANTS
CDBG funds under this Program can only be expended on the eligible activity
authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
(hereafter called Act), section 105(a)(17): special economic development, providing
direct financial assistance to private for-profit businesses.
An eligible applicant is:
an existing business legally operating, with any required local business license,
insurance, permits per local, state and federal requirements;
an applicant with a non-operating start-up business may not have all required
licenses or insurance, so these items will be made a condition of loan closing;
a person or persons wishing to buy an existing business;
a business leasing tenant space or owner occupied business in the service area.
The loan applicant must provide documentation that the proposed project will meet
CDBG eligibility criteria of national objective and public benefit per Sections 3.4 and 3.5.
The loan applicant must provide documentation of meeting standard commercial
underwriting criteria outlined in Section 6 of these guidelines as well as HUD CDBG
mandated six underwriting standards described in Section 3.6. An eligible loan
applicant must document compliance with all CDBG regulations listed in Section 3.7.
Specific ineligible loan applicants include:
a business with an existing CDBG BA loan that has not been closed-out with the
Department;
a business operating a private exclusive recreational facility;
non-profit businesses are not eligible under this program;
a businesses or person(s) with unresolved state / federal tax liens;
a business or person in bankruptcy process are not eligible until bankruptcy
process is complete.

3.2

ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS

CDBG funds are non-discretionary and restricted to certain eligible costs. These
eligible costs cover most costs associated with successful BA projects. Specifically,
CDBG BA activity eligible costs are:
operating capital and inventory;
furniture fixtures and equipment (FF&E), with or without installation costs;
project site improvements, new construction or rehabilitation of leased space or
owned building;
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 2

EXHIBIT A

engineering and architectural plans and required permits or fees;


purchase of manufacturing equipment (with or without installation costs);
refinancing of existing business debt when done in conjunction with restructuring
of other existing private financing debt(s);
purchase of real property, when it provides positive cash flow for new jobs;
relocation grants for persons displaced due to funding of the project;
purchase of an existing business, including documented value of good will.
These eligible costs must be connected to the business ability to meet an eligible
CDBG national objective per section 3.4 of these guidelines. Lender will only use
CDBG loan funds to reimburse borrower for actual eligible / approved project costs.
3.3

INELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS

CDBG funds are non-discretionary, limited to certain eligible costs described in Section
3.2 above and there are also a number of ineligible costs. Some ineligible costs are:
costs incurred prior to submittal of BA loan application and environmental review
completion;
costs associated with residential housing development, i.e. on mixed use project;
costs associated with supporting other businesses the applicant owns;
costs on a funded project NOT meeting a national objective;
personal expenses such as cars, home repairs, not directly associated with the
business;
costs of paying off credit cards (personal or business);
costs of paying off any personal debt not directly associated with business;
providing CDBG loan as a revolving line of credit (LOC) is not eligible;
cash payments of any kind made directly to the assisted business owner(s)
(wages or draws) from loan proceeds
costs associated with a funded project when the owner(s) or business is found to
be on federal debarred list
public infrastructure in support of the business
research and development costs for future production (speculative)
Once approved, loan funds cannot be shifted from one approved type of cost to another
without formal written approval of Lender. If there is a substantial change in the project
scope of work or underwriting, then the loan must be re-evaluated and re-approved by
Lender, per state and federal regulations, prior to loan closing or disbursement of CDBG
funds.

3.4 MEETING NATIONAL OBJECTIVE STANDARDS


All eligible activities funded under this program must meet a CDBG National Objective
as described in the Act, Section 104(b)(3) and federal regulations 24 CFR Part 570.483.
Detail on documenting the meeting of national objective standard for a project is
contained in Departments guidance on BA Activity Chapter Website. Projects not
documented as meeting a national objective are an ineligible activity. Below is a general
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 3

EXHIBIT A

description of documenting how a BA project meets the national objective of benefit to


low - moderate income (LMI) persons. The Lender will use Department specific
guidance for ensuring each eligible project funded is documented as meeting a national
objective.
BA projects normally meet a national objective standard when they create jobs and
provide over half; at least fifty one percent (51%), of the new job positions to LMI
qualified persons. BA projects proposing to provide most of newly created jobs to LMI
persons must agree to allow the Lender, or their designated representative, to meet with
each job applicant prior to hiring and complete a Department Self Certification of
Income Form, see Attachment C. After all new hires are made, payrolls must be
collected by the Lender and compared to the job applicant Income Certification forms to
prove over half of all newly created job positions were provided to low-moderate income
persons. This will prove the projects job creation met the national objective of
principally benefiting LMI persons and allow the Lender to close out the project with the
Department and HUD. All documentation of national objective for jobs falls under
Section 4.5 on confidentiality.
Some BA projects may require CDBG funding to retain jobs. In this case CDBG loan
funds will assist in keeping the business from closing or to avoid terminating some staff.
This type of project must document that, at the time of application, over half of existing
employee positions to be eliminated are held by LMI persons. As such, the business
must agree to allow the Lender or their designated representative to interview existing
employees and help them complete the Departments Self Certification of Income Form.
The business must also provide financial documentation that, if not for CDBG funding,
the job positions will be lost and staff laid off. The business must also document that
with the investment of CDBG funds, the business will continue operations and jobs can
be retained. If approved and funded, the business employees must have SelfCertification of Income completed again, prior to Lender closing out the project. By
verifying that, at the time of loan application and after loan disbursements, over half of
the retained positions were LMI, then the project will have LMI national objective met
and it can be closed out with the Department and HUD. All documentation of national
objective for jobs falls under Section 4.5 on confidentiality.
A few BA projects may meet the LMI national objective by documenting that the BA loan
applicant provides goods or services to the local community, and the business service
area is primarily within the Lenders jurisdiction, and the service area is primarily
residential, and the area is primarily occupied by low moderate income persons. Thus
the BA loan applicant must provide documentation of the business service area. The
Lender will use zoning maps to document the service area as primarily residential and
located within the Program service area. The Lender will confirm the LMI status of the
BA loan applicants service area from American Communities Survey data, in
accordance with HUD low - moderate area (LMA) benefit standard. Lender will require
business to provide documentation of the goods or services they provide and justify the
need for CDBG funds as part of providing goods and services. This documentation
must be provided prior to loan approval. After expenditure of CDBG loan funds and
documentation that the business continues to provide goods and services, then the
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 4

EXHIBIT A

project can be closed out with the Department and HUD. LMA national objective
standard guidance is provided on Departments BA Activity Chapter webpage.

3.5 MEETING PUBLIC BENEFIT STANDARDS


All eligible project activities funded under this program must meet a minimum CDBG
Public Benefit Standard as described in the Act, section 104(b)(17) and federal
regulations; 24 CFR Part 570.483(f)(g). Public Benefit is provided by the BA loan
recipient in return for use of subsidized federal funds, and provides a funding limit or
cap. Meeting Public Benefit Standard is very different than meeting National Objective
Standard and should not be confused. Lender will use detailed guidance on meeting
Public Benefit Standards provided on Departments BA Activity Chapter webpage.
For BA projects meeting national objective via jobs provided to LMI persons, the Public
Benefit standard is jobs, and the maximum CDBG loan funding available is limited to
$35,000 per job. The Lender will require BA loan applicants to provide an estimate of
public benefit generated by investment of CDBG funds into the project via the Job
Tracking Form, see Attachment C. This proposed level of public benefit will be verified
after investment of CDBG funding. The actual level of public benefit (loan funds per job)
may be greater than or less than the level proposed at the BA application stage. All
public benefit data falls under the confidentiality Section 4.5.
For BA projects meeting LMA national objective, based on benefit (goods or services),
the Public Benefit Standard is goods or services to LMI persons. In this case, the
maximum CDBG funding available is limited to $350 per LMI person in the business
service area. For this public benefit standard, Lender will document compliance at the
BA loan application stage prior to loan approval or closing.
CDBG public benefit requirements of the program will be disclosed by the Lender at the
start of the application process. Lender will use financial underwriting to identify the
need for BA loan subsidies and determine reasonable public benefit that will be
generated from the project, i.e. the number of jobs created from proposed project.
Projects with small amounts of public benefit may be required to bring in other sources
of funding because of CDBG funding limits imposed by this standard.

3.6 MEETING SIX UNDERWRITING STANDARDS


In addition to documenting that the project meets CDBG public benefit standard, the
project must also be documented as meeting six HUD underwriting standards, per
federal regulation 24 CFR Part 570.483(e). These underwriting standards are required
to document a minimum due diligence of the Lender and ensure projects are
financially sound enough to meet public benefit and national objective standards, i.e.
create new or retain existing job positions. The six HUD underwriting standards are
general, qualitative and are supported by commercial underwriting standards in Section
6 of these guidelines. See Department BA Activity Chapter web page for detailed
guidance on compliance with each of the six HUD underwriting standards.
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 5

EXHIBIT A

The Six Underwriting Standards are:


project costs are documented as reasonable (typically, third party cost
estimates);
all sources of funding for the project are documented with final commitments;
to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are not substituted for private (nonfederal) funds;
documentation that project is financially feasible (based on cash flow projections
to support jobs and debt service, etc.);
to the extent practicable, the return of the owners equity investment is not
unreasonable (based on level of equity and proposed CDBG loan terms);
to the extent practicable, CDBG funds are disbursed on a pro-rata basis with
other financing provided for the project.
3.7 MEETING OTHER FEDERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Since these CDBG BA loans are from a federal funding source, there are a number of
federal laws and requirements which are triggered by their use. The Lender and
Administrator will require BA loan applicants to provide project information which allows
them to make a determination of required project compliance. BA applicants are
required to sign loan disclosures and work with Lender to ensure each project is in
compliance with any of the triggered, applicable regulations listed below.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): Every project funded under the Program
must be reviewed under HUD NEPA regulations24 CFR Part 58 and the Lender must
sign and certify an Environmental Review Record (ERR) for each project prior to
approval or disbursement of loan funds. The Lender is required to sign and certify the
correct NEPA EER, per current Environmental Review Requirements Chapter of
Departments Grant Management Manual (GMM), along with any state review under
Californias Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The ERR level of review is based on the projects aggregated scope of work, which
includes all proposed project funding. Any construction or equipment installation
proposed will require more review work on the ERR. The ERR will be done early in
application process, as soon as the project is deemed eligible and scope of work is
finalized. No costs will be charged to the Borrower for this process. Applicants must
sign Department certification form that no choice limiting action under NEPA
regulations has or will take place. The form is included in Attachment C.
Prevailing Wage Compliance: If a project proposes to use CDBG funds to pay costs for
any construction, then federal and state labor standards compliance must be
documented. Davis-Bacon Act (40 USC 276a - 276a-5)and related laws are triggered
when any CDBG funding is used to pay for any project construction costs. Lender will
follow Department guidance in current Labor Standards Chapter of the GMM for
prevailing wage compliance on funded projects.
Additional labor costs will be added to projects proposing to use CDBG to pay for new
construction, rehabilitation, or equipment installation. The Administrator and Lender will
work with loan applicants to ensure project compliance. The additional time and work
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 6

EXHIBIT A

required by prevailing wage regulations will be disclosed to the borrower as soon as


possible. Any additional costs resulting from this regulation will be incorporated into the
CDBG loan approval.
Acquisition and Relocation Laws: All BA applicants proposing to use CDBG funds for
purchase of real property must comply with 49 CFR Part 24Acquisition laws. Lender
will provide required Seller Disclosure for execution as part of meeting this requirement.
All BA applicants proposing projects which trigger relocation compliance i.e. result in
displacement of persons per Uniform Relocation Act (URA), must work with Lender to
ensure compliance with this law. Additional costs associated with relocation compliance
will be disclosed to the applicant prior to CDBG loan approval and included in project
loan approval.
Required Prohibition of Job Pirating Certification: All BA applicants must sign a
Certification of No Job Pirating. Job pirating is prohibited per CDBG federal regulation
24CFR 570.482 (h). Job pirating is defined as using CDBG public funds to facilitate the
moving of a business and associated jobs from one jurisdiction to another (business
attraction). As such, CDBG federal funds cannot be used to attract / subsidize a
business to move from one labor market area to another or keep a business from
moving out of a labor market by making a retention argument. Lender will require all
applicants to sign a non- job pirating certification, Attachment C. Any questions
regarding possible job pirating will be submitted to the Department for final
determination.
Conflict of Interest Certification: BA loan applicants will sign a Certification of No
Conflict of Interest. In accordance state and federal regulations, no member of the
governing body and no official, employee or agent of the local government, nor any
other person who exercises policy or decision-making responsibilities (including
members of the loan committee and officers, employees, and agents of the loan
committee, the administrative agent, contractors and similar agencies) in connection
with the planning and implementation of the CDBG BA program shall directly or
indirectly be eligible for this program. Lender will require all applicants to sign a nonconflict of interest certification, Attachment C. Any questions regarding possible
federal conflict of interest will be submitted to the Department for final determination.
Any questions about state conflict of interest laws will be referred to Lenders legal
council for final determination.
Required DUNs number, federal debarred verification and demographic data: All BA
program applicants must obtain a DUNs number, if they do not already have one. The
DUNs number is free and can be obtained on line. In addition, prior to loan approval,
the Lender will document that the business being assisted and all owners and affiliated
businesses are verified as NOT on the federal debarred contractors list. HUD also
requires that the Department and the Lender collect certain income and demographic
data from the business and any beneficiaries of CDBG funds.
Required Benefit to Citizens of the Jurisdiction: Applicant must work with Lender to
documentation substantial benefit to residents in the Program service area is obtained.
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 7

EXHIBIT A

This requirement does not apply to job retention. For projects proposing to document
providing goods or services, the service area of the business must be within the
jurisdictional limits.
4.0

LOAN PROCESSING AND APPROVAL

4.1

FAIR LENDING COMPLIANCE

The Program will be implemented in ways consistent with the Lenders commitment to
fair lending laws. No person or business shall be excluded from participation in, denied
the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity funded in
whole or in part with Program funds on the basis of his or her religion or religious
affiliation, age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex, marital status, familial status
(number or ages of children), physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, or other
arbitrary cause. All personal information of loan applicants will be kept confidential, per
Section 4.4.
4.2

LOAN APPLICATION PROCESSING

Loan applications will be processed on a first come first served basis. The
Administrator will accept loan applications and review them for initial eligibility per
Section 6.1. Applicants that do not meet basic CDBG requirements of the program will
be sent a letter of explanation. All BA applications received will be kept on file to
document fair lending standards. Applications that meet basic eligibility requirements
will be contacted for a site visit and collection of additional information.
Loan files will be set up as applications are received and compliance information
gathered. The business will be required to provide accurate financials for past, current
and future projection of the business operations. All owners will have credit checks
conducted as part of loan underwriting per Section 6.0. The Administrator may provide
sample financial Excel forms (balance / cash flow sheets, profit and loss, personal
financial statements, and proforma) but in no instance will the Administrators or
Lenders staff generate financial numbers for an applicant. The applicant may be
referred to local business support organizations to assist applicants in producing proper
financial statements, develop a business plan, conduct market study or develop industry
accounting practices.
Loan applicants are responsible for providing accurate and timely information to the
Administrator as part of the loan process. This may include:
disclose all business owners with twenty percent or more ownership;
disclose all other businesses the owners have an ownership interest of twenty
percent (20%) or more;
provide current personal financial statements for each owner;
disclose sources of collateral and security;
provide business historic financial information, including year to date;
disclose sources of cash for any equity investment proposed;
provide third party documentation of eligible project costs;
provide market study or document basis of future sales projections;
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 8

EXHIBIT A

provide management capacity documentation for ability to execute;


provide necessary information to clear federal overlays in Section 3.7.

If the loan applicant does not provide required information and documentation to the
Administrator in a timely fashion, then there will be delays in the loan approval process.
Once the Administrator has compiled a complete loan file with all the credit, financial,
and underwriting information needed to show loan is eligible under these guidelines,
then a loan approval memo will be drafted. The memo will be submitted to Lender for
their approval. Once approved, the Administrator and Lender will submit project set up
report to Department and craft loan documents for signing at closing with the Borrower.

4.3

PROGRAM LOAN APPROVAL PROCESS

The Lenders Program Loan Committee shall be made up of an odd number of persons.
The Lenders staff will ask committee members to volunteer for this board. Committee
members can be from local financial institutions, the Lender, or other interested parties
who have the professional capacity to review and evaluate commercial loans. See
Attachment A for Lender loan approval memo format.
Loan approval meetings will be scheduled by Lender staff in conjunction with
Administrator staff once a loan has been underwritten and is ready for review and
approval. Lender staff will be responsible for reviewing each loan application funding
proposal and recommending approval or rejection for the loan. Committee members
may request additional information and or attach contingencies on closing or funding of
the loan. If the loan is approved, then the project can move forward with loan closing.
If Lender approval is not obtained, then the BA loan applicant can take dispute
resolution actions, per Section 4.5 of these guidelines.

4.4
LOAN APPLICANT CONFIDENTIALITY
Administrator or Lender or any persons involved in the loan process for this Program
will not disclose any of applicants business or personal confidential information as part
of loan review and approval process. All confidential information of businesses will only
be disclosed to persons required to view the information as part of loan review and
approval. All personal and business confidential information of loan applicants will be
kept in a locked secured storage facility and are not available to persons outside of the
program. If the Lender or Administrator or Department receives a formal public records
request for a loan applicant file, then only non-confidential information, as verified by
legal counsel, will be provided.
4.5
APPLICANT DISPUTE RESOLUTION/APPEALS PROCEDURE
Any business applying for assistance through this CDBG program has the right to
appeal, if their application is denied. The appeal must be made in writing to the
Administrator and the Lender. The Lender will schedule a meeting for the appeal to be

EXHIBIT A

heard. If the application is denied a second time then the person may ask to have their
appeal presented to the Lenders governing body for a final decision.
4.6
EXCEPTIONS/SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Exceptions are defined as any action, which would depart from policy and procedures
stated in the guidelines. The Lender or Administrator staff may initiate consideration of
an exceptional/special circumstance to the policies in these guidelines as long as it
does not violate CDBG federal / state requirements. A written analysis of the exception
will be prepared and submitted with loan approval request. This analysis shall contain a
narrative, including the staff's recommended course of action and any written or verbal
information supplied by the applicant. The loan approval shall be made after review and
acceptance of the exceptional/special circumstances request.

4.7
LOAN CLOSING PROCESS
After Lender approval, submittal BA Loan Certification and Project Set Up Report to
Department, the Administrator and Lender will prepare for the loan closing with Escrow
Company. The Administrator will prepare the loan closing documents; prepare title and
lien searches, and UCC-1 filings, if appropriate. Lender legal counsel will review all
agreements and documents, as necessary.

DESCRIPTION OF LOANS

5.1

DETERMINATION OF LOAN AMOUNT

The Program has a minimum loan amount of $35,000. The maximum loan amount is
$300,000.
Actual loan amounts will be based on the business need for capital to conduct the
proposed projects scope of work and meet public benefit standards. Most often the
amount of CDBG funding is limited based on gap in project financing or ability of
business to support new debt or pay for required jobs from business future cash flow
projections or by the amount of collateral that the business can provide as security for
the CDBG debt. If there are not sufficient CDBG funds for the project, then the
Administrator can assist in finding other project funding.

5.2
DETERMINATION OF LOAN TERM
The BA loan term is tied directly to what project costs CDBG funds and what security is
being pledged for the loan. If a business only wants operating capital then the term of
the loan is normally five years. If a business wants to pay for equipment and supplies,
then the term of the loan can be extended out to 10 years. If the loan is for real property
improvements and can be secured on real property, then the terms can be extended out
to 20 or 30 years. A loan amortization term can be longer than the loan term, so an
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 10

EXHIBIT A

equipment loan may have a term of ten years but an amortization term of fifteen years,
which will create a lump sum payment at year ten. Administrator will confirm that the
proper term is given based on the use of the CDBG funds and loan security / collateral
being provided.
5.3
DETERMINATION OF LOAN INTEREST RATE
Loan interest rates will start with two percent (2%). This rate will be increased, if the
investment of CDBG funds at thetwo percent level causes the business to have an
excessive profit, return on investment (ROI). See HUD underwriting standards
discussion of undue enrichment on Departments BA Activity Chapter webpage for
direction on how to set interest rate to comply with this standard. By allowing the
interest rate to move and not be fixed, the Lender can best tailor the loans under this
program to meet the cash flow needs of different businesses in the community and
ensure public benefit and national objective standards are met.
5.4
LOANPROCESSING FEES
The CDBG program provides administration funds to pay for all loan processing and
servicing costs. No direct loan fees will be charged to the borrower. Also, there is no
pre-payment penalty on the loans under this Program.
6.0

LOAN UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

6.1
INITIAL LOAN EVALUATION
Each project / business will be evaluated based on the how it has performed in the past
and its future financial forecasts. Specifically the following questions will be asked
upon receipt of a loan application.
Is business an eligible applicant, per Section 3.1?
Are the proposed project costs eligible, per Section 3.2 & 3.3?
Will project meet a CDBG national objective, per Section 3.4?
Will business meet public benefit jobs required in Section 3.5?
Does project appear to meet six HUD underwriting standards, per Section 3.6?
Are federal overlays triggered that will adversely impact project development?
Are the business and all owners credit worthy?
Does the business and owner pay bills on time, collect on time?
Does owner have a detailed business plan?
Does owner have documented market demand for projected sales?
Does owner have management capacity to operate the business?
Does owner have financial accounting capacity to operate the business?
Is the owner contributing a reasonable amount of equity?
Is the owner able to get conventional bank financing, if not, why not?
Was the business financially viable in the past (net income covers debt)?
Are there reasonable financial assumptions for future viability/success?
Is there enough collateral available to secure the proposed loan?
Is the owners personal financial status stable?
By collecting enough initial application information to answer the above list of questions,
the Administrator will have a good sense of how strong a borrower is, and how
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 11

EXHIBIT A

successful they will be, if assisted with a CDBG loan. Most of this information is
collected on the loan application form and verified verbally at the initial site visit with the
owner. By meeting the borrower and asking these questions the Administrator will know
what additional information/documentation needs to be collected to provide a clear
picture of how CDBG funds can be used to assist the BA loan applicant. These
questions demonstrate the need for CDBG funds and business eligibility.
After the initial review, the Administrator/ application processor will collect the proper
information required for loan underwriting. The required documentation is listed in the
CDBG underwriting guidance document provided on Departments BA Activity Chapter
webpage. At this same time, Administrator and Lender will begin regulatory compliance
documentation, per Section 3.5. The amount of documentation and detailed
underwriting is based on size of the loan and type of business (existing or start up) and
what LMI national objective is used. Additional documentation may be required for a
business with special circumstances.
6.2

PERSONAL AND BUSINESS CREDIT REQUIREMENTS

Each applicant will have third party credit reports obtained showing credit scores and
payment history. All owners and their spouses with twenty percent (20%) or more
interest in the business will get credit reports reviewed. If a personal credit reporting
service provides low credit scores or shows poor credit history, applicants must provide
a written explanation and justification for allowing the loan to go forward.
The primary applicant business and all associated businesses of the owners (20% or
more ownership) will have a Dunn and Bradstreet report reviewed as well, if it is
available. If it is not available, then the Administrator will call vendors or suppliers of
the business to inquire as to the business payment history. This same narrative
process will be used for the business credit reports to demonstrate the good standing or
poor standing of the business being evaluated, when no third party business credit
report is available.
6.3
PERSONAL AND BUSINESS FINANICAL INFORMATION
Personal financial statements will be required for each person who owns 20% or more
of the business. Financial statements need to show all assets and liabilities of the
person. In addition to these statements, federal tax return statements for owners and
the business for the past three years are needed to give a historic perspective of
income.
For the business fiscal year, historic financial statements will be required. These will
consist of past three years balance sheets and cash flow statements, generated from
past tax returns and quarterly year to date statements. These statements should be put
together by the person responsible for doing the bookkeeping and finance management
for the business. Past tax returns will be provided to document the statements
provided. Based on these statements the Lender / Administrator can develop ratios for
debt service and payment history, etc.

HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 12

EXHIBIT A

The business will also need to provide future projected financials. These will consist of
pro formas showing projected revenue and costs for the business on a monthly basis for
each fiscal year for a minimum of three years from application date. Start-ups may
need to provide up to five years of projection statements to show break even point of
business. Two sets of pro formas need to be completed: one showing the business
projections with CDBG financing; and a second set showing the business with
conventional financing. This will provide evidence of the benefit / increased profit the
business is receiving by using the more affordable CDBG loan. These pro formas must
also show the increased costs to the business from adding the new job positions and
the CDBG debt service.
A project sources and uses form must be provided to show all funding required for
completing all project activities. This form will show the owners equity as well as
private bank financing and any other investments from other sources. The sources and
uses give a clear idea of what costs the CDBG loan will cover and its information must
be reflected in the pro formas as described above.
Using the information in these financial statements, along with any back up
documentation required, will allow the Administrator to do the projects underwriting
analysis. This analysis will include both the conventional lending underwriting and HUD
required underwriting. This analysis will be provided to the LAB for use in loan
approval.
6.4
COLLATERAL REQUIREMENTS
All loans under this program will be collateralized using normal commercial lending
standards. Collateral coverage will be assessed based on assets available as security
and the level at which they are already liened. CDBG funding is typically in a
subordinate position to banks and other lenders.
It is the goal of the Program to get the best lien position possible to ensure loan
repayments. Types of collateral may include:
Secured liens on real property,
UCC liens on machinery, equipment, or other fixtures,
Lease assignments, as appropriate,
Personal and corporate guarantees, as appropriate, and
Life insurance assignment and other collateral, as appropriate.
Appraisal of assets may be required as part of determining how to obtain the best lien
positions for the CDBG loan. Combined loan to value ratio on collateral for the typical
CDBG loan should not exceed ninety percent (90%). Equipment and inventory secured
should be properly discounted to reflect actual resale value when doing loan to value
calculations.
6.5
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE AND MANAGEMENT CAPACITY
The BA loan applicant will provide resumes and management histories to show the
experience of business owners and their management staff in successful operation of
the existing business or something comparable. Existing businesses proposing to use
HCD Revised June, 2015

Page 13

EXHIBIT A

CDBG BA funds to create jobs, must have at least an updated business plan if not a
new plan.
For BA loan applicants proposing to use CDBG funds for a non-operational start-up
businesses or for applicants that wish to use CDBG funds to purchase an existing
business or for applicants that wish to use CDBG funds for job retention (to keep the
business from closing) a comprehensive business plan will be required. The
comprehensive business plan will include a detailed analysis of what management
capacity is need for the business to be successful and identify resources that the
business will utilize to meet the identified capacity needs.
7.0

LOAN SERVICING

7.1

LOAN SERVICING RESPONSIBILITIES

Borrower will be provided loan servicing information from the Lender. The Lender will
retain all original project files within locked storage. Original legal documents will be
kept in locked fire proof filing system for future loan servicing. Lender will provide
annual income tax interest statements to the borrower for their tax purposes.
All loan payment will be make directly to the Lender and deposited into current CDBG
PI accounts. If payments are collected by a third party, all gross collected CDBG BA
loan payments will be provided to the Lender on a monthly basis for deposit into the
proper CDBG program income account.
The borrower will be required to provide the Lender / loan servicing agent with periodic
financial statements of the business and proof of insurance annually. Upon reviewing
the borrowers financial statements, the Lender may require the business to take actions
that improve the business cash flows. Borrower may be required to meet with business
development staff to assist in stabilizing or building capacity.
Borrower must disclose any sale of equipment or assets that are used as loan security
by the Lender. The borrower may submit a written request to the Lender to change the
CDBG loan terms, if the business is not able to fully service CDBG debt repayments or
if they wish to pre-pay the loan by making one or more larger payments.
7.2

LOAN SERVICING POLICIES

The Lender has adopted a set of loan servicing policies that outline how the loan
servicing agent will proceed if payments are late or no payments are received. The
policies also outline how loan files will be set up and protected. A copy of these
adopted loan servicing polices will be provided to each BA loan recipient at loan closing.

grant funds from the Recreational Trails Program

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL:


Consideration of Resolution No. ____ (2015) which approves the submittal of a grant application to
the California Department of Parks and Recreation - Recreational Trail Program (RTP) in the
amount of $600,000 to fund construction of Phase 2 of the Forbes Creek Trail, Trailhead Parking
Lot, and related trail facilities within the Phase 2 area of Westside Community Park.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In 1987 the City of Lakeport adopted its first comprehensive Park Plan. This Park Plan was officially
incorporated into the 1992 Lakeport General Plan in Chapter III: Conservation, Open Space and
Parks Element. In addition to the establishment of a number of Open Space, Parks, and Recreation
Goals, Policies, and Implementation Programs, the 1992 Lakeport General Plan also incorporated
Park Plan maps and illustrations. Of particular note in the 1992 Lakeport General Plan is Map III
3: Urban Trail System. This Map identifies existing on street trails, proposed on street trails and
proposed off street trails. This Map depicts an off street trail system extending from Parallel Drive
to the west through what is now Westside Community Park. This General Plan Trail Map concept is
today called the Forbes Creek Trail within the City of Lakeports Westside Community Park.
In the late 1990s the City Council approved and formally converted City owned land (previously
used as a wastewater storage and disposal site and Walnut orchard) into the 55 acre Westside
Community Park. Actions by the City included approval of a General Plan Amendment and
Rezoning of the land from Residential to Open Space and adoption of the Westside Community
Park (WCP) Master Plan. The WCP Master Plan included a perimeter trail system (the Forbes Creek
Trail) that extended around and in some cases through the entire 55 acre Park site.
Phase 1 and a portion of Phase 2 of the Westside Community Park improvements have been
constructed through the efforts of the City of Lakeport, the Westside Park Committee, service
groups and organizations, and significant donations of time, materials, equipment, labor, from the
community at large. The City of Lakeport previously applied for and received a $100,000+/- grant
from the California Department of Parks and Recreation - RTP grant program for the Phase 1 of
the Forbes Creek Trail through Westside Community Park. The 10 foot wide existing trail extends
from Westside Park Road at the northeast corner of the Phase 1 Park improvements, south - along
the east and south sides of the soccer fields, through the Phase 1 parking lot, where it then turns

south and runs along the east side and south sides of the Phase 2 Westside Park area. The trail
currently terminates at the southwest corner of Phase 2 of Westside Community Park.
In July 2015 the California Department of Parks and Recreation announced availability of grant
funds through the Recreational Trail Program. The RTP is a state-administered local assistance
program of the U.S. Department of Transportations Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Within the State of California, the Department of Parks and Recreation is authorized to administer
the program. Non-motorized RTP Projects are administered by the Office of Grants and Local
Services (OGALS).
The non-motorized RTP funds recreational trail projects for pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians
that may also serve as non-motorized transportation corridors.
City staff is currently working on preparation of the grant application which includes a number of
components including the grant scope, site plan, topographic map, trail log, cost estimate, and other
items the state requires that the scope of the project can be completed with the grant request and it
also requires a committed secure match of 12% which has been approved by the city. Up to $4
million per application may be requested. In order to be eligible for this grant trails must be
separated from a road and not within a road right-of-way. Eligible development projects include
construction of new trails, development of trailhead facilities including parking lots/staging areas,
benches interpretive signage drinking fountain etc. Landscaping is generally not going to be funded
except for that needed to prevent erosion and trail degradation.
The deadline for submittal of the grant application is September 15, 2015. Approval of the
authorizing resolution is required as part of the grant application which is attached for the City
Councils consideration.
PHASE 2 FORBES CREEK TRAIL AND TRAILHEAD FACILITIES PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:
Attached is a map of the proposed Phase 2 Forbes Creek Trail and Trailhead facility project
improvements.
Phase 2 of the Forbes Creek Trail project includes continuation of the Phase 1 Trail (funded by the
RTP) from its current termination point, north to intersect with Westside Park Road. This new
Phase 2 Trail will be a 10 wide x 1,400 long concrete and/or asphalt, handicap accessible, stripedtwo lane pathway for hikers, bicyclists, and all other users, including equestrians. The Phase 2 Forbes
Creek Trail will extend from the southwest corner of the Phase 2 Westside Community Park site,
adjacent to the east side of the trailhead parking area, north to Westside Park Road. Phase 2 of the
Forbes Creek Trail project also includes construction of a 130 vehicle trailhead parking lot, provided
with an asphalt surface, concrete curb and gutter perimeter, appurtenant storm drainage facilities,
bench seating, pole mounted lighting, bollards, gates and fencing, erosion control and groundcover,
and associated directional/informational signing.

OPTIONS:
Meeting Date: 08/18/2015

Page 2

Agenda Item# VII.B.1.

The options for the City Council with respect to consideration of the Resolution are to 1) adopt it as
presented, 2) make any necessary modifications in the Resolution and adopt it as amended, or 3) to
provide alternative direction to staff as to specific issues and schedule reconsideration of the
Resolution on September 1, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None

$72,000 +/-

Account Number:

Comments: the RTP non-motorized grant application requires that the city fund at least 12% of the
total project cost. The estimated construction cost of the trail improvements, trailhead parking
facilities, and related facilities is $600,000. The 12% match equals $72,000 and must be committed
by the City as a secure match. The grant application guidelines indicate that the city must avoid the
scope that requires future fundraising.
There will be miscellaneous expenses for copying, printing, public notices, etc.
It should be noted that there may likely be additional expenses associated with the CEQA
Environmental Review of the proposed project. City staff will bring a specific proposal for this
project component back to the City Council for approval at a later date.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Restructuring Unfunded Accrued Actuarial Liability (UAAL)
Obligations of the City to CALPERS (cont.)
SUBMITTED BY:

MEETING DATE:

8/18/2015

Daniel Buffalo, Finance Director

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Discussion

Action Item

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL:


Update on restructuring of a portion of outstanding UAAL obligations of the City to the California Public
Employees Retirement System, and selection of alternative plan of restructuring.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Recent changes to the bond market due to rulings out of the San Bernardino bankruptcy case have required
the City to revisit the options it has to restructure a portion of its UAAL obligations with CalPERS.
What is no longer a possibility was the option for the City to restructure its UAAL through a validation
action, essentially issuing new, unsecured debt to replace existing obligations with CalPERS. The
bankruptcy court hearing the San Bernardino case recently stated that such new debt (referred to typically as
POBs or pension obligation bonds) would not have the same legal standing as obligations owed to
CalPERS.
This decision has closed off the POB market to the City.
Consequently, management has explored the option of securitizing a new debt issue by pledging assets to
bond/note holders as collateral. Utilizing City assets as security, management and the Citys Finance
Committee worked with its financial advisor, NHA Advisors, to explore asset mixes that would serve
bondholder requirements while exposing the City to the least possible amount of risk.
Following that analysis, the Finance Committee revised options for the Councils consideration with a
recommendation to pursue Option 3. This option achieves the greatest potential long-term present value
savings (over $358K through maturity of the bond/note), maximizes the benefit from issuance costs, and
provides the most positive long-term budgetary impact to the City.
The collateralized asset mix includes the recommended use of essential city assets by the Finance
Committee and is drawn from available assets identified in Attachment A. These assets would be pledged to
the bond/note holder(s) in the unlikely event of a City default on the obligation.

Meeting Date: 08/18/2015

Agenda Item #VII.C.1.

Summary of Revised Options and Considerations


OPTION 1: Pay-Off Side Fund ($1.62 MM/23% of Total UAL)

nd

Removes first peak; grows payments (1% growth) smoothly into 2 peak in 2036
Lowest PV Savings (1.82%)*
Likely can be executed without collateralized use of City Hall; smaller audience of
investors and likely less aggressive interest rate bids
OPTION 2: Pay-Off Side Fund and 25% of Base 2 ($2.31MM/33% of Total UAL)
Removes first and second peak with payments level through 2036; Small increase to
payments in 2037 to 2040
Strong PV Savings: 7.89%*
Must collateralize City Hall in asset mix (larger audience of investors/aggressive interest
rate bids)
OPTION 3: Pay-Off Side Fund and 50% of Base 2 ($3.01MM/43% of Total UAL)
Removes both peaks, payments level through 2035; reduced payments in 2036 through
2037 and small increase to 2038 to 2040
Highest PV Savings: 11.92%*
Must use City Hall in Asset Mix (larger audience of investors/aggressive interest rate
bids)
Options 2 and 3 currently limited to 9 year average life
If Banks allow for longer maturity (i.e. 10 year average life), Options 2 and 3 can be
further optimized (longer smoothing and/or lower payments)
* Assumes CalPERS annual return of 7.5%
OPTIONS:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager and Finance Director to work with the financing team to
select the appropriate assets for collateralization, sign all related documents to the transaction, and
execute the option selected by Council.
2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Comments: All fees associated with this debt issuance are contingent on the successful completion of the
transaction. The primary goal of this strategy is to allow for greater budgetary stability over the next 25
years. Alternatively, the City would have to manage approximately $650K of contribution increases over the
next 6 years that could adversely impact services.

A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT AUTHORIZING
COMMENCEMENT OF PROCEEDINGS FOR THE REFINANCING OF A PORTION OF
THE CITYS OUTSTANDING UNFUNDED ACTUARIAL ACCRUED LIABILITY TO THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM, AND APPOINTING THE
NECESSARY CONSULTANTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH

Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), and is obligated by law to make certain payments to
CalPERS in respect of (a) retired public safety employees (the Safety Plan) and (b) retired
miscellaneous employees (the Miscellaneous Plan); and
WHEREAS, the City is legally obligated under both the Safety Plan and the Miscellaneous Plan to
pay any unfunded accrued actuarial liability (the UAAL), which is the amount by which CalPERS
is short of the amount that will be necessary, without further payments from the City, to pay
benefits already earned by current and former employees covered by CalPERS; and
WHEREAS, the City has a current combined (both Safety and Miscellaneous) UAAL of $6.99 million
which is scheduled to unevenly amortized over the next 30 years (the Obligation); and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after due investigation and deliberation, has determined that it is in
the public interests of the City at this time to consider the refinancing of a portion of the
Obligation (the Refunding); and
WHEREAS, the City is authorized under the provisions of Articles 10 and 11 of Chapter 3 of Part 1
