"Involvement in the Healthy Cities Project has allowed us to transform a theoretical concept of
defining a healthy city into a concrete plan of action for creating a livable community...Ultimately,
we can look back in ten years and see not only if we have become a healthy city, but also, perhaps,
a model American city...The Healthy Cities process is a vehicle for getting there."
-Philip Hawkey, City Manager, City of Pasadena
"Healthy Cities provides us with a forum to participate in joint problem-solving for the common
good. It is an excellent vehicle for citizen involvement and community participation."
-George Caravalho, City Manager, City of Santa Clarita
"When I first heard about the Healthy Cities Project, I realized that we as a city did many things
that were already "healthy." The question was - how could we tie these activities together to
become a Healthy City? By going through the process, we've learned how to open new doors
throughout the community, allowing us to bring focus to issues important in San Ramon."
-Patricia Boom, Councilwoman, City of San Ramon

CALIFORNIA HEALTHY CITIES PROJECT
The California Healthy Cities Project is part of a growing international public health movement
which focuses on the city and its total environment --including the physical surroundings, economic
conditions, and social climate--as an arena for health promotion activities. The Project advocates that
the public, private, and voluntary sectors work in concert with community residents to identify and
address health priorities and related issues of livability. The development of responsive public
policies, which preserve and promote individual and community health, is key to the Healthy Cities
approach.
California Healthy Cities:
. utilize a collaborative, participatory approach to community improvement;
. join a circle of individuals and municipal leaders who are actively involved in creating
healthy cities;
. receive staff support and programmatic resources to develop and implement programs and
policies which address locally-identified priorities; and
. gain access to consultants with expertise and municipal experience in problem-solving,
community-based health promotion, and coalition building.
Healthy City activities have included:
. the advancement of community-wide strategies to create a "tobacco free city";
. the provision of adult literacy and English-as-a-Second Language programs to assist with
living skills;
. the development of a Quality of Life index that will gauge community livability against a
number of quantifiable variables; and
. the preservation of community open space along with the development of parklands and
recreational amenities.
L PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
. To encourage municipal leaders to adopt a broad definition of health, recognizing the
contribution of education, living conditions, employment opportunities, and support
services to individual and community well-being;
. To promote a style of municipal governance that involves all sectors and which
embraces ethnic and cultural diversity as part of a commitruent to full community
participation; and
. To foster collaborative community partnerships to identify and respond to health
concerns and related issues of livability.
II. BECOMING A CALIFORNIA HEALTHY CITY
. Orientation Session .
Periodically, the Project sponsors orientation sessions which cities interested in being
considered for formal participation, are required to attend. This interactive session includes:
. orientation to the Healthy Cities concept and the California model;
. guidelines for the development and implementation of a local project;
. suggestions for forming a steering committee which represents a variety of sectors
within the community;
. discussion of needs assessment techniques and tools;
. explanation of the national health objectives, Healthy People Year 2000, and their
application within cities;
. suggestions for project topics and related implementation activities; and
. assistance with identifying logical first steps for organizing a local Healthy Cities
effort.
Our vision is that every person in California can live a healthy,
productive lift in a clean, saft environment. we accomplish this by
working with local leaders to improve the quality of lift in California
communities in order to meet the Healthy Peopk 2000 goals.

A national award-winning newsletter
VOLUME NINE NUMBER TWO. FALL 1997 EDITION
Quality of Life Indicators Inform
Pasadena Budget Process
ith the adoption of
its FY 1997-99
budget, the City of
Pasadena became one of the
first cities nationwide to craft
an operating budget incor-
porating community quality
of life indicators.
The City used the Quality
of Life Indicators, developed
in 1992 under the auspices of
the California Healthy Cities
Project, as the foundation for
this innovative budget. In
this effort, consensus was
developed among community
residents on 10 key areas
considered to be critical to
quality of life in Pasadena.
The ten areas were:
community safety, transpor-
tation, recreation and open
space, housing, arts and culture,
economy and employment,
environment, health, education,
and alcohol, tobacco and
other drugs. Although the
City realized it could not be
solely responsible for
addressing each issue, it
recognized its obligation to
provide collaborative
leadership in devising
solutions with the many
organizations and resources
in the community.
Once consensus wa..;; reached.
the City's next challenge was
to allocate resources to achieve
the goals reflected by the
indicators. Each city deprntment
formulated measures linking
their operations to key areas
as appropriate. These
measurements ultimately
became the basis for a
pelformance-based budget.
The newly created budget
allows the City Council, staff
and residents to identify
resources and assess the
City's progress related to
each indicator.
Pasadena Receives Awards for
Performance-Based Budget
hilip A. Hawkey, City
Manager, and the City
of Pasadena received
national awards for the
City's efforts to improve
organizational effectiveness.
The prestigious futemational
City and County Management
Association Program
Excellence A ward honored
Pasadena's organizational
effectiveness effort, initiated
at a time of decreasing tax
revenues and increasing
service demands. The City
streamlined bureaucracy,
created a customer service
hotline, and involved
employees in decision-making
and developing performance-
based measures, resulting in
a $2 million reduction in costs
without reducing services.
The Winston Crouch
Award is given by the Los
Angeles Metro Chapter of
the American Society for
Public Administration for
"meritorious public service
achievement or contribution
to the quality of life in the
Los Angeles metropolitan
area." Mr. Hawkey was
honored for transforming
the culture of the City and
preparing it for the 21 st
century using tools such as
performance-based budgeting.
City Manager Phil Hawkey
observed, "The City is
committed to improving
community quality of life
and the performance of city
government. The Quality of
Life Index served as the
framework for the City's first
results-based budget, which
focuses on describing the
results the City Council and
the community can expect for
the dollars appropriated."

Project Receives
National Award for
Collaboration
he California Healthy
Cities Project is the
proud recipient of the
National Coalition Award, a
joint award of the Centers for
Disease Control and the
Association of State and
Territorial Directors of
Health Promotion and Public
Health Education.
The Project received this
award for its leadership in
providing consultations to
other states and communities
in designing and implementing
Healthy Cities programs
and for the collaboration
within California in developing
the first and largest Healthy
Cities Project in the nation.
In 1996, the Project
provided nearly 500
consultations statewide and
assisted nearly 100 agencies
and organizations outside
CalifOnlla and internationally.
The Project makes dozens
of presentations annually
to state, national and
international audiences.
Project Director Joan
Twiss states, "We are thrilled
to receive this national
recognition fium CDC and
ASTDHPPHE. We look
forward to expanding our
network of communities and
continuing our liaison with
the healthy cities movement
nationally and internationally."
Survey Finds Over Half of Teens Contribute as Volunteers
A recent study conducted by
the non-profit organization,
INDEPENDENT SECTOR.
shows 59 percent of American teens
contri buted 2.4 billion hours of
volunteer work in 1995. This work
would be valued at $7. 7 billio/1 at
mInImUm wage.
Among the factors influencing
teens to volunteer were:
. Whether or not they were asked
to volunteer. Teens were four times
more likely to volunteer if asked.
. Exposure to positive adult role
models. Teens who observed a
family member or someone they
admired helping others were
twice as likely to volunteer than
those who did not.
_..A..",
g._CIty
, III I!
. Age at which volunteer activity
began. Youth who first volunteered
before age 14 were more likely to
continue volunteering later in life.
The findings indicate volunteering
is best cultivated in childhood and
in the early teen years.
. Personal attributes and beliefs such
as: compassion for people in need;
a belief that if they helped others,
others would help them; and
viewing the work as an opportunity
to contribute to a cause important
to them.
"Our survey findings evoke great
optimism about the future of volun-
teering in America," said Dr. Sara E.
Melendez, President of INDEPENDENT
SECTOR. "As adults and role models,
National Civic League Names
Fremont an All-America City
19')7
Fremont, California (population
187,000), was one of ten cities
nationwide to receive the
National Civic League (NCL) 1997
All-America City Award. This award
recognizes communities for civic
achievement and grassroots community
problem-solving.
"These ten All-America City Award
winners show what citizens can do
when they work together in a spirit of
hope and realism to attack the tough
circumstances facing their communities,"
said Senator Bill Bradley, NCL
Chairman, "This is a results-oriented
program that provides opportunities
for community learning by transferring
knowledge and success from people to
people, neighborhood to neighborhood
and community to community."
Fremont was recognized for:
. A Housing Scholarship Program
encouraging heads of households
on public assistance to get into job
training and obtain gainful employ-
ment. Participants receive greatly
reduced rents during training and
for up to five months after accepting
employment. Over 90 percent of
recipients have completed job
training, and 100 of 104 families
are able to pay market rents.
. A Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) trains
neighborhood, business and school
teams in emergency preparedness,
light search and rescue, emergency
first aid, and other skills required to
survive in the first 72 hours following
a disaster.
. A network of services support
youth and address youth crime,
gang participation, and drop-out
rates, including preventive strategies,
restitution programs and youth-
driven programs directed at peers,
Two California cities, Baldwin Park
(a Healthy City) and Sacramento, as
well as one California community,
Camptonville, achieved finalist status
in this competition.

accomplishments, contact lan Perkins,
City Manager, at (510) 494-4800. ~

Women's Health
Leadership Seeks
Women Leaders
The Women's Health Leadership
Program (WHL) is currently
recruiting for the 1998 program
year. The overall goal of WHL is to
improve the health and well-being of
women in California. The program
accomplishes this by building the
leadership capacity of women who
already make a difference in their
communities and who have the desire
to strengthen and build on their current
work to achieve greater impact. WHL
fosters learning across ethnic, cultural,
educational and experiential lines and
aims to enlarge the network of trained,
ethnically diverse women who can
speak on behalf of women's health.
Selected women leaders must be
able to commit to a year-long program
consisting of a diverse set of required
and optional activities ranging from
trainings to community projects. WHL
invites you and/or your colleagues to
apply for the 1998 program year. The
deadline for applications is October
23. 1997. Recruitment is statewide.

Birth Defects Near
Hazardous Waste
Sites
n the largest study of its type ever
undertaken, the California Birth
Defects Monitoring Program found
that women living within one-quarter
mile of an EP A Superfund site during
the first trimester of pregnancy (when
birth defects occur) were twice as
likely to give birth to babies with
neural tube defects and four times as
likely to give birth to babies with
serious heart defects. Women living
more than one-quarter mile from a
Superfund site during the first trimester
were not found to be at higher risk.
Many Superfund sites are military
bases. Of the 105 Superfund sites in
California, approximately 20 percent
are military hases.

Youth Takin' On Tobacco Grants Are Awarded
he California Healthy Cities
Project (using revenues
generated by Proposition 99,
the 1988 Tobacco Tax Initiative)
recently awarded five Healthy Cities
$33,000 each to engage youth in
countering pro-tobacco influences.
Engagement --- the active connection
of youth to community as both
recipient and doer --- is a prerequisite
for success for the projects. Each of
the following cities will undertake an
evaluation to learn more about how to
better involve youth in community
activities.
Chico will build on prior Healthy
Kids 2000 work that identified
protective factors which promote
positive development. The project
will be integrated into an after-school
program to serve middle school
students. The on-campus activities
will allow junior high teens to make
educated choices regarding tobacco
use while spreading the message about
staying tobacco free through service
learning projects.
Chula Vista will capitalize on its
youths expressed desire to be mentors
and positive role models for younger
children. The project will revive the
use of the Teells As Teachers model in
after-school sites with non-classroom
settings. Changes in the mentors'
behavior toward pro-tobacco influences
will be the focus of the evaluation.
Escondido's project will target youth
aged 6 through 17 in two predominantly
low-income neighborhoods and will be
integrated into the EYE Counseling
and Crisis Services' mentoring/
tutoring after-school program. Youth
will be matched with an Americorp
member who serves as a tobacco-free
mentor and who will work with them
on tobacco-focused activities to
promote making informed choices.
One of the activities will be learning
more about the Intemet through a process
of developing a Spanish/English
"Tobacco Awareness" webpage.
Oceanside plans to create a healthier
environment for its young athletes by
developing youth leaders who will
assess the sale of tobacco look-alike
products at concession stands around
recreation ball fields and develop
strategies to address the issue.
Additionally, youth will review tobacco
policies of at least two city athletic

l.A.l~~ AN IOU WHOS( TlM( IS RIGHT .....A..A..A.~
by Joan M. Twiss
Most cities have a motto or a slogan. For instance, Manteca is
"the family city" and Apple Valley promises "A Better Way of
Ufe." California also has the world's garlic, apricot, and flower
capitals, not to mention the artichoke center of the world. Within
the last couple of years, however, ten California cities have also
become known as "Healthy Cities."
Why? These cities share a vision that the city
of tomorrow must be a "healthy city" and
they've made a commitment to make it happen.
A healthy city? Some charge that the term
itself is a nonsequitur, and grammarians
wince. Yet it is an idea that has been found
to be intrinsically understood and attractive.
Agreement on the basic ingredients for a
healthy city is easy. Clean air and water,
food, shelter, safety, access to medical care,
economic vitality, good transportation. and
recreational space would head the list.
Other qualities, however, like equity, civic
participation, sustainability, access to the
arts. and celebration of cultural heritage
are also recognized as part of a healthful
environment. The definition of the term.
however, also includes the process for
achieving these outcomes.
Renewed ecological aware"ness, com-
bined with a more holistic view of health,
has spawned vocal constituencies for main.
taining and enhancing the quality of life in
our communities. There is a growing
appreciation that education, employment
opportunities, and the physical environ-
ment are inextricably linked to health and
social well-being. In cities across the coun-
try, concerns about substance abuse and
the need for quality child care and afford.
able housing are being raised. Conse-
quently, it is municipal policy makers who
are being challenged to address these
issues in order to restore the human infras-
tructure of their communities.
Joan M. Twiss is Project Director of the
California Healthy Cities Project.
WESTERN CIlY, OCTOBER 1991
The Healthy Cities model offers a new
approach which conceptua1izes community
health in its broadest sense, to include the
physical environment, economic condi-
tions. and the social climate within the city.
The development of responsive public poli.
cies, which preserve and promote individu-
al and community health, is key to the
Healthy Cities approach.
Furthennore, solving the complex p~b-
lems facing to day's communities will
require full community participation. The
public sector, businesses, community orga-
nizations and residents must jointly define
health priorities and work collaboratively to
address agreed-upon concerns.
About
The California Project
Since 1988, the California Healthy Cities
Project has assisted cities and public health
agencies with their efforts to put the
Healthy Cities model into practice. The
Sacrament<rbased Project is funded by the
State Department of Health Services. The
Western Consortium for Public Health, an
1
The Healthy City: An Idea Whose Time Is Right, Continued
independent, non-profit corporation, man-
ages the Project. The Consortium repre-
sents the Schools of Public Health and
Extension Divisions at the University of
California, Berkeley and Los Angeles.
Lela F. Folkers, Project Officer for the
State. observes, "In a time of diminishing
resources and expanding human needs,
the Project has been effective in enlisting
new partners for improving the public's
health." California is the first and only state
health agency in the country to fund a
healthy cities program.
The Project offers educational programs.
technical consultation. and resource mate-
rials to all cities throughout the state. In
addition, the Project sponsors California
Smoke-Free Cities in partnership with the
League of California Cities, Americans
for Nonsmokers' Rights, and the Health
Officers Association of California. Cal-
ifornia Smoke-Free Cities is a targeted
approach to facilitate local development of
tobacco control policies and programs.
Eventually, the Project hopes to organize
cities around other issues like substance
abuse and injury control.
As a first step in applying the Healthy
Cities concept in California, the Project
established a demonstration program. All
cities were invited to apply. Each city deter-
mined the direction of its initial effort, for
which most used existing data. The local
project is used as a way of introducing the
proeess of Healthy Cities.
Selection was based, primarily, on
demonstrated commitment to the proposed
project by elected officials, adntinistrators,
and community groups. The focus of the
project and the implementation strategies
proposed - their replicability, feasibility,
and creativity - were the other major
selection criteria Ten cities, since designat.
ed Charter Cities, currently participate. In
a relatively short period of time - tenure
in the Project ranges from eight month~ to
two years - a number of measurable suc-
cesses have been reported.
Charter Cities
California's ten Charter Healthy Cities
range in size from 15,000 to 420,000 per-
sons, many of which have multi-ethnic pop-
ulations representative of the state's diver-
sity. The varied nature of these communities
encompasses a university town, a planned
community, a major port city, and an urban
village. Their incorporated land areas run
the gamut from two to forty square miles,
the latter resulting from the merger of four
distinct communities. Dates of incorpora.
tion range from 1858 to 1987.
Spearheading local projects are an envi-
2 ronmental conservation manager, directors
of public works, parks and recreation, and
human services, environmental counsel.
and health officers and administrators.
Joseph Hafey, Executive Director of the
Western Consortium, notes. 'The diversity
within this group of cities highlights how
universal these quality of life issues are in
our communities and the broad application
of the Healthy Cities approach."
To date, the Charter Healthy Cities'
efforts can be grouped under four major
headings: outreach services. educational
programs. environmental preservation, and
the development of new methods to mea-
sure and enhance quality of life.
The Project accepts appl ications on
an ongoing basis throughout the
year, Participation in the Project be-
gins with attendance at an orientation
session. Subsequent steps include:
1 Passage of a city resolution that
endorses participation in the Project
and reflects commitment to the
Healthy Cities concept;
2 Identification and recruitment of
local steering committee members,
representing a broad cross-section of
the community; and
3 Submission of a project description
and a one-year workpian,

Outreach Services
In response to a measles epidemic in north-
east Los Angeles County, the City of South
El Monte has offered monthly immunization
clinics since January of 1990. With cooper-
ation from the County Health Department
and through the volunteer efforts of school
nurses, the free clinics are held during the
evening at the city's senior center. Each
month, at least 50 children receive immu-
nizations, with most children receiving more
than one inoculation. Targeted recruitment
strategies have included posting notices, in
Spanish, next to the disposable diapers in
local markets, Connie McFall, the city's
Director of Human Services, describes the
outreach clinic as "a good example of a 'win-
win' situation."
City.sponsored screenings, held in con-
junction with the Shriner's Hospital,
referred 91 percent of all those examined
for disabilities for further evaluation and

treatment. During the summer, the coun-
ty's mobile van reached several hundred
children for child health and disability pre-
vention examinations at the city's lunch
program sites.
The City of Rohnert Park's Tobacco Free
City Project aims to achieve significant
reductions in youth and adult tobacco use.
To do this, the city has effectively tapped
into numerous resources within the com-
munity - the county health departments.
schools, non-profit organizations. and the
business community - and utilized multi-
ple channels to create a community-wide
message which discourages tobacco use.
A $150,000 grant to the city from the
State Department of Health Services will
be used to help small businesses develop
policies and offer cessation services. The
Chamber of Commerce has helped with
promotional activities and will sponsor an
awards program for business which go
smoke-free.
North Bay Health Resources Center's
Stop Teenage Access to Tobacco Project
(STAMP) conducted a survey in the city
which showed that minors were successful
in purchasing tobacco approximately 50
percent of the time, STAMP and the city's
Public Safety Officers combined efforts to
educate merchants regarding how to com-
ply with the law.
Teaming up with the sports community,
coaches were asked to serve as non.smok-
ing role models. Tobacco use was further
discouraged by the mounting of a baseball
field billboard, carrying a non-smoking
theme and by discontinuing ballpark sales
of tobacco "Iook-a-like" products.
One of the more recent cities to join the
Project, the City of West Hollywood, is
nationally recognized for its commitment to
human services. The city plans to develop a
comprehensive guide for residents who
may need to utilize long-tenn care services
that will address the psycho-social, legal,
and financial issues of long.term care.
Increasing low--cost housing options within
the city is also a priority. Plans are under-
way to open the first Adult Day Health Care
program in the State to serve both seniors
and persons living with AIDS.
Educational Programs
All kinds of infonnational and educational
activities, including presentations, classes,
media campaigns, distribution of city publi-
cations, sponsorship or participation in
fairs, festivals, parades, and exhibits, have
been conducted to raise awareness and
bring about change for a variety of health
matters in cities.
Three years ago, the City of Duarte's
strategic planning process pointed to a
lack of readily available information on
se1h"are and iocal health and wellness
resources. Under its "Healthy Cities
umbrella," the city has conducted a vari-
ety of public information campaigns and
successfully integrated a health message
into several of its ongoing programs. In
large part, new city dollars have not been
required. Instead, these accomplishments
have been achieved through linkages with
state programs, vol-
unteer efforts, and
donations
from the busi-
ness commu-
nity, which are
strategies common
to local Healthy
Cities projects.
Duarte was cho-
sen to be the first
city in the state to
pilot The Wellness

by the University of
California at Ber-
keley and the Cal-
ifornia Department
of Mental Health,

ing level and is also
available in Spanish_
The local telephone
company printed a
companion mini-
phone book of the
names and phone
numbers of over
200 community or-
ganizations.
An all-out com-
munity effort result-
ed in all 8,000
Duarte households
receiving a free copy of the guide. Over 100
volunteers delivered guides. The first wave
of evaluation results have found a guide re-
tention of 90 percent; favorable marks for
helpfulness; and more appropriate referrals
being made.
Duarte also incorporated a health promo-
tion message in its free community calen-
dars, Rose Bowl F1oa~ city picnic, and annu-
al family wilderness day. Terry Fitzgerald,
Environmental Counsel, reports, "There are
lots of ways you can expand on the Healthy
Cities concept. . _ without spending a lot of
extra money and yet benefit a lot of people
in the process."
Citing a fundamental link between litera-
cy and health, the City of Monterey Park
has infused a health focus into its literacy
program. Literacy for All of Monterey Park
(lAMP) serves functionally illiterate adults
as well as residents requiring tutoring in
English-as-a-Second-Language. LAMP
teaches more than 200 students to read,
write, and speak English. The city's popula-
tion is 65 percent Asian and 35 percent
Hispanic. The majority of program partici-
be greater intercultural understanding and
appreciation. The completion of AM's
Community Traffic Safety Questionnaire by
program participants, has obtained informa-
tion on traffic safety problems from popula-
tions that would otherwise have not had an
opportunity for input.
The City of Palm Desert has a multi-year
plan to address personal and community
health and safety issues. The first goal was
to reduce the number of automobile-related
injuries by getting
residents to "buckle
up." This com-
mitment gar-
nered funds
from the State
Office of Traffic
Safety for the hiring
of part-time staff,
data collection, and
materials. After only
one year, the city
has experienced a
13 percent increase
in seat belt usage_

ther enlisted the
cooperation of pri.

the many innova-
tive strategies were

pledge contest in
conjunction with
the high school senior prom. Local busi-
nesses contributed prizes, including din.
ners, limousine rides, and tuxedo rentals,
as incentives to pledge. Purchased and
donated promotional items were extreme-
ly useful in maintaining awareness.
With the seat belt program entering its
maintenance phase, the water safety program
has recently gotten underway. It aims to pre-
vent drowning, near.drowning, and other
water-related injuries, especially surrounding
residential pools. Research has begun on the
establishment of a tracking mechanism for
water-related injuries and deaths.
An estimated fifty percent or more of the
world's population will live in cities at
the turn of the century. The needs gen-
erated by this rapid urbanization have
resulted in strengthened alliances among
leaders in public heakh, city management,
and politics.
The World Health Organization's Healthy
Cities Project began in 1986, as a joint ini-
tiative of the health promotion and environ-
mental health programs in the European
Regional Office. It was envisioned as a way
to achieve their long-range goal of "Health
for All," a strategy designed to enable all
people to attain a level of health which
allows them to lead Socially and economi-
cally productive lives.
The project has since evolved into an inter-
national movement involving hundreds of
cities worldwide. Barcelona, Munich, and
Stockholm are three of the 30 European
cities participating in the WHO Project_
Additionally, there are three international
and seventeen national networks - includ-
ing the United States and Australia,
Provincial networks are operating in
Quebec and Brkish Columbia_
"The growth of this project has been so
startling that, were it a private company, it
would be one of the business success sto-
ries of the 19805," notes Dr. Ilona
Kickbusch, Director, Lifestyles and Health,
WHO Regional Office for Europe_
Valuable links can be made with an interna-
tional community of cities responding to
similar challenges. The Healthy Cities
approach provides a common ground for
exchange on a whole host of issues,
including traffic, housing, tobacco, AIDS
care, and mental health_
UNew sister city relationships are a natural
outgrowth of the Healthy Cities move-
ment,' notes Joan Twiss, Director of the
California Project. The City of Palm Desert
recently became a sister city with Osooyos,
British Columbia, which, k was discovered,
participates in that province's healthy com-
munities network.

A close working partnership with staff

to reach special population.
Class discussions have concentrated on
health topics such as substance abuse, safe-

access are on Santa Clarita's first-
year Healthy Cities agenda. Two ini-
tiatives have been undertaken to en-
list community involvement.
The first was the development of
a long-range plan for the Santa
Clara River. The resulting report
commends the study as "an excep-
tional example of the consensus
process for developing master
plans for major recreation and natu-
ral resources within communities."
Many of its components have been
incorporated into the city's recently
adopted general plan. A three-mile
section of a trail system along the
River's South Fork has been
approved. The ~econd project 'has
involved the development of hill-
side and ridgeline standards.
Jeff Kolin, Deputy City Manager,
spealdng at the statewide Project confer-
ence last May commented, "The Healthy
Cities program matches up very closely
with the type of philosophy and approach
that OUT community is developing. We're
putting a lot of thought into planning now
for the future so that we can have the qual-
ity of life that will allow us to he a healthy
city in the Year 2000 and beyond."

Development Of New

While all of the previously mentioned pro-

le the subject head on. A long-standing
interest in this topic had fueled previous, al-

Project provided the impetus to delve anew

substantial donations from Kaiser Perma-
nente and the Southern California Gas
Company for their work on this project.
The city's long-range goal is to produce a
Quality of Life Index, or report card, which
wi11 be issued annually to gauge
Pasadena's physical, social, and eco-
nomic wen-being. The city's per-
formance in eleven key areas win
be assessed. These include: arts
and culture, children and youth,
economic viability, environment,
health, housing, public safety,
recreation, schools and educa-
tion, substance abuse and trans-
portation. In the first phase of the
Project, over 150 community mem-
bers identified priority objectives in
an alI-day exploratory forum. Sub-
sequently, neighborhood associa-
tions and community groups were
asked for their reaction to the pro-
posed priorities.
The second phase has involved a
technical advisory committee com~
prised of community leaders and
subject matter experts from several
educational institutions. The tasks of
identifying appropriate measures
and data - in terms of source, avail-
ability, frequency with which it is col-
lected, and geographical appropriate-
ness - has begun. Ultimately, the
Index will be used to prioritize
health and human service needs
within the city. City Manager Philip
Hawkey explains, " . . . the Project
has allowed us to transform a theo-
retical concept of defining a healthy
city into a concrete plan of action for
creating a livable community."
An Approach
Any City Can Use
Even though the ten Charter Healthy Cities
may have been on the first wave of innova-
tion, the Healthy Cities approach can work
in any city. With vision, community partic-
ipation, a commitment to put health - in its
various forms - high on the city's agenda,
and the energy to make it happen, any city
can become a healthy city. In we1coming
others, Duarte's Fitzgerald says, 1'here's a
lot of value in becoming a healthy city and
I would encourage other cities to just jump
right in."

BECOMES A HEALTHIER CITY
Twenty years ago when the City of Duarte
chose the motto "City of Health", no one
expected that being a "healthy city" would
become an international movement. Some
might have even thought that a "healthy city"
was a contradiction in terms.

The City Of Health, Continued
City Steering Committee proposed to pub-
lish a directory of these services. When
funding became a concern, someone had
the W1USUal idea of publishing the directory
as part of the city's 1991 calendar, sent free
to every household with the December
newsletter. Local hospitals aod health care
providers helped pay for the extra pages.
The final project was a 32-page. bifingual,
health aod wellness calendar. Each month
highlighted a related theme. January, for
instance, was dubbed "Self-Improvement
Month" to take advantage of New Year's
resolutions. Local places to lose weight,
stop smoking, exercise and join a support
group were listed. Other chapters empha-
sized youth, senior citizen aod disabled pro-
grams; mental health; alcohol and drug
abuse; local health care facilities aod organi-
zations. and schools and libraries. Emer-
gency aod hotline phone numbers, such as
poison control and child abuse, were print-
ed in bold in the front City services, other
government agencies and a transit map
were also included. A non-scientific sUlVey
reported residents frequently used the list-
ings aod planned to keep the calendar for
years to come. Phone calls to City Hall ask-
ing for the same information decreased
after the calendar was published.
Another of Duarte's Healthy City
Projects provided more generic
health and weHoes5 advice to resi-
dents. 10 the spring of 1990 Duarte was cho-
sen to be the first field test for the Wellness
Guide, ao 80-page booklet on how to stay
healthy developed by the School of Public
Health at University of California, Berkeley,
aod the State Department of Mental Health.
Duarte's interest in public health aod ethnic
diversity made it ao ideal place to try out the
Wellness Guide before the Guide is distribut-
ed statewide.
Local schools, businesses, service clubs
aod churches publicized the Wellness Guide.
More thao 100 volunteers helped distribute
English aod Spanish versions. An extensive
evaluation followed. Among the users of the
Guide were a battered wife who found a
shelter for herself aod her children aod ao
inunigrant who accessed free pre-natal care.
Duarte has several new Healthy City
Projects in 1992. 'This spring, the city is pre-
senting an AIDS education forum and co-
hosting an AIDS play for teenagers. The
city. Kiwaois Club, local hospital aod school
district are jointly sponsoring a children's
health fair. Duarte just received a $10,000
graot from the California Smoke-Free Cities
Project aod Prop. 99 to do a public opinion
survey on attitudes about smoking.
"Every place you turn a new idea for a
Healthy City Project pops up," summarized
Mayor 1 oyce. who conceived of the AIDS
forum while she was campaigning. "But if
a city is really interested, it should join
the California Healthy Cities Project That's
last but not least on a list of things
you can do to make yours a healthier city,"
she advised.
To contact the California Healthy Cities
Project write P.O. Box 942732. Sacramento,
CA 94234-7320 or call (916) 322.{;8S1. For

LEAGUE OF CAliFORNIA CmES
Each participant will receive extensive resource material. This information will assist with
the development oflocal Healthy Cities efforts, recruitment of key community stakeholders,
and promotion of the local project.
Workshop materials include the Project's Healthy Cities Resource Guide, an introductory
videotape, and informational brochures for community distribution. These tools have been
designed based on the experiences of the Project's first ten Charter Cities.
. Application .
Application for formal Project participation begins with the successful completion of the
following steps:
. passage of a city council resolution that endorses participation in the California
Healthy Cities Project and reflects commitment to the Healthy Cities concept;
. identification and recruitment of local steering committee members; and
. submission of a project description and workplan.
It is expected that these steps will be taken within six months of the city representative's
attendance at an orientation session.
Project staff are available to provide consultation and assistance throughout the
conceptualization and development of the application. At the request of interested cities,
Project staff will meet with city officials, potential steering committee members, and
community leaders prior to the submission of the application.
. Requirements of Participation .
California Healthy Cities agree to:
. attend Project-sponsored regional and statewide meetings;
. participate in the evaluation of the Project, both statewide and locally; and
. share resources, strategies, and experiences with participants in other cities as well
as the statewide Project.
The designation of "California Healthy City" covers a one year period and will be renewable
annually.
Although participation in the Project usually begins with the
design and implementation of a specific project, the process of
creating a healthy city is envisioned to be an ongoing commitment
to a collaborative, participatory style of governance.

On March 18, 1997 the City Council approved the commitment for a $372.940 loan for South Bay
Community Services to purchase land from the City. (See Attachment A) This approval included an
Amended and Restated Conveyance Agreement and Escrow Instructions with South Bay Community Services.
On March 18, 1997 the Council also approved the commitment for a loan to South Bay Community Services
in the amount of $523,965 from HOME funds for the development of 18 townhomes and apartments,
subject to later approval of a Disposition and Oevelopment Agreement. Staff delayed negotiations on the
Disposition and Development Agreement until South Bay Community Services learned if they were awarded
tax credits to help finance this project. In August 1997 South Bay Community Services was awarded these
tax credits.
Full funding for this project has now been secured. The funding sources include the Bank of America
Community Development Bank, the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LIS C), Tax Credits Allocation
Committee (TCAC), Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program, and the City of Chula Vista. For
t -!

Meeting Date 10-21-97
tax purposes, TCAC requires that 10% of TCAC defined development costs for this project must be spent
by November 7, 1997, South Bay Community Services will meet the 10% requirement by buying the land
from the City at a cost of $372,940. This TCAC requirement makes the Council's approval of the
Disposition and Development Agreement a time sensitive issue. (See Attachment B)
Previously the address was reported to be 746 and 750 Ada Street, which identifies the parcel of land the
City currently owns and has designated for the development of townhomes and a child care facility. The
address is being changed in this report and on the respective resolutions to reflect the portion of the land
devoted to the townhomes, as opposed to the portion that will accommodate the child care facility. For
reporting purposes, SBCS will purchase the land "at or around 750 Ada Street", however, the legal
description of the property will detail the exact location. At this time the City will retain ownership of 746
Ada Street, at which a child care facility is proposed to be located.
RECOMMENDATION: Council Approve 1) a Disposition and Development Agreement and HOME
Participation Agreement with South Bay Community Services for the Development of an Eighteen (18) Unit
Affordable Housing Project Proposed to be Developed at or around 750 Ada Street; 2) Approving an
amendment to the Amended and Restated Conveyance Agreement and Escrow Instructions to delete
reference to the requirement for South Bay Community Services to deposit $41.000 with the City before
purchasing the land; and 3) Appropriating $523,965 from the HOME Program and $372.940 from disposition
proceeds from the sale of land at or around 750 Ada Street for the development of an 18 unit affordable
housing project.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Housing Advisory Commission recommended
approval of the proposed project at its April 10, 1996 special meeting and again on February 26, 1997.
The Child Care Commission also recommended approval of the project at its May 7, 1996 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The "Trolley Terrace Townhomes" ("HT") will consist of 14 three bedroom units and 4 two bedroom units,
ten of which will be two story town homes and eight of which will be one story flats. (See Attachment C
& D) Residents will pay a monthly rent that is affordable to families earning below 40% of the area median
income, which is approximately $437 for a two bedroom and $505 for a three bedroom unit. "HT" is
being designed as a limited Equity Cooperative (Co-op), This "Co-op" will be a separate nonprofit
organization formed by the residents and will participate in the overall management and operation of the
development once it is built. Residents will become members of the Co-op by purchasing a "share", which
will serve as their equity in the Co-op. The formation of the limited Equity Co-op will allow the residents
to be involved and concerned in the welfare of their neighborhood.

Meeting Date 10-21-97
CHILOCARE CENTER
In addition to building affordable housing, SBCS is making a strong effort to develop a child care center
adjacent to the townhomes as a separate project. This center would provide affordable child care to
approximately 80-100 children who will live either in the housing development next door or elsewhere in the
surrounding neighborhood. This facility could also serve as a "children's community center" with homework
assistance, tutoring, literacy training, gang prevention and intervention services, alcohol, drug, and AIDS
education, and parenting classes. The key to developing this facility will be securing funding to build the
center. A few providers have expressed interest in this project contingent upon funding. Staff and SBCS
will be working diligently together to develop the child care facility.
PROJECT FINANCING
The proposed housing project will be financed through a variety of funding sources, including: a Bank of
America Community Development Bank construction and permanent loan, local Initiative Support Corporation
(USC) predevelopment loan, low Income Housing tax credits, Federal Home loan Bank Affordable Housing
Program, and a City of Chula Vista Development loan and land loan. The total development cost is
estimated at $2,600,000. (See Attachment E,F,G & H).
In order to bring in over $1.5 million in tax credit investor equity, Trolley Terrace Townhomes will be initially
owned by a limited partnership, in which South Bay Community Services will be the general partner, and
the tax credit investor will be the limited partner. The Co.op will lease the property from the limited
partnership and operate it for the 15 year tax credit period. When the partnership dissolves after 15 years,
the Co-op will have the right to take over full and complete ownership of the complex, subject to approval
of the City and other lenders.
The party named in the Amended and Restated Conveyance Agreement and both loan commitments will be
South Bay Community Services, however an assignment would be pre-approved to the limited partnership,
proposed to be named T rolley Terrace T ownhomes limited Partnership. A limited partnership must be
formed in order to receive tax credit proceeds. SBCS would be the general partner of the limited
Partnership. A deposit of $41,000 is no longer being required of South Bay Community Services before
purchasing the land. That provision was made previously at the request of SBCS in order to use it as a
portion of their requirement from TCAC to spend 10% of the funds within a given amount of time. SBCS
has reconsidered their approach to spend the 10% and now is buying the land from us instead. The Council
is being requested to delete reference to a $41,000 deposit, because it no longer applies.
The Amended and Restated Conveyance Agreement allows SBCS to take ownership of the portion of the
property for the housing development separately from the day care, upon meeting certain conditions,
including the approval of the DDA.

CITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT LOAN AGREEMENT
The proposed Disposition and Development Agreement outlines the disposition of the property and financing
of the project, escrow instructions, the development of the project, uses of the property, defaults, remedies,
termination rights, and general provisions. Basically it would obligate the City to sell 1.21 acres of land
at or around 750 Ada Street to SBeS and make two loans to SBeS toward the development of an 18 unit
affordable housing project known as T rolley Terrace T ownhomes. These two loans are as follows:
1) A development loan for $523,965 from HOME funds for a 55 year term at 3% simple interest.
payable from 75% of the residual receipts from operation of the complex. The lien will be
subordinate to the Bank of America loan, and any other institutional liens approved by the City.
Up to $120,000 will be advanced prior to the construction closing of the project for architectural
work, environmental studies, engineering, and planning fees. The remainder of the loan funds,
$403,965, will be made available during the construction and permanent financing periods. (In the
March 18, 1997 report, $523,965 was committed toward this project, with $98,085 estimated to
be used toward pre development expenses, leaving $425,880 for expenses during the construction
phase. This adjustment has been made to reflect the updated budget.)
and
2) A land purchase loan for $372,940, from disposition proceeds from the sale of the land, for a 55
year term at 3% simple interest. with payment from 75% of residual receipts which may be
available after satisfaction of the City's development loan. The lien will be recorded in last position,
after the Bank of America loan, the City's development loan, and any other institutional liens
approved by the City. On March 18, 1997, $372,940 was committed toward this project for land
acquisition.
Council previously approved SBCS to purchase 1.16 acres of land for the housing development from the 1.81
acres available at 746 and 750 Ada Street. Given the need to have a minor lot adjustment made in order
to accommodate 18 units, SBCS will now be buying 1.21 acres for the housing development. Staff does
not consider this alteration to have any significant impact on the economic terms of the City's deal.
The structure of the City acquisition loan has been modified from the way it was presented in the March
18, 1997 report in order to satisfy TCAC requirement to spend 10% of the TCAC defined development costs
by November 7, 1997. The Local Initiative Support Corporation (USC) will be lending SBCS' $372,940 to
purchase the land. This amount will be paid to the City at the close of escrow for the land deal. At
construction loan closing, SBCS will pay USC back for the land with the same $372,940 paid to the City
by USC and then SBCS will take out a loan with the City for the same amount. This is necessary according
to the Internal Revenue Services to avoid any appearances on SBCS's part of noncommitment to the land
purchased, which is inherent in seller financing. Thus the City acquisition loan becomes more of a
construction loan, though it is still being used to buy the land. The substance of the deal is still the same
as was described in March 1997, i.e. a land loan and development loan are being made to SBCS to the total
t;-Lj

Meeting Date 10-21-97
sum of $896,905. The City retains an option right to reacquire the property at the lesser of its fair market
value or the 103% times the purchase price in the event the construction loan fails to close (See
Attachment I).
City funds will be subordinate to the Bank of America Community Development (BACD) Construction Loan
of approximately $920,000 during construction and only to the BACD's permanent financing of approximately
$220,000 after construction.
CITY RISKS/MITIGATION MEASURES UNDER THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT LOAN AGREEMENT
There are four areas of risk of which the Council needs to be cognizant:
RISK ONE - SUBORDINATION OF LOANS: The City will need to subordinate its loans to the Bank of
America Community Development's construction and permanent financing loans.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
. As a condition to subordinating its debt or its affordability covenants, the City shall obtain special
notice and cure rights, and the option to purchase and/or assume SBCS's loans in order to continue
the project.
. A performance bond will be required from the project's general contractor with both the City and
Agency listed as named beneficiaries.
RISK TWO - REPAYMENT OF LOANS FROM RESIDUAL RECEIPTS: The City's loans will be paid back from
75% of the residual receipts (i.e. 75% of the net cash flow).
MITIGATION MEASURES:
. Once the developer's fee is paid, the City is entitled to receive seventy-five percent (75%) of the
residual receipts with the other twenty-five percent (25%) going back into the project. TCAC allows
the developer (SBCS) to be paid fifteen percent (15%) of total development costs. SBCS will collect
only six percent (6%) of the total development costs for their developer's fee. SBCS is making
every attempt to reduce costs and ensure repayment.
. Property management fee is not to exceed what is customary and standard for affordable housing
projects similar in size and scope to the Project, which is 5-6% of gross rental income.
. There is a high demand for these units with a waiting list already established and the vacancy rate
is expected to be low. Currently, Chula Vista's vacancy rate is at 2.4%. The revenue base should
be very reliable. The Capital Replacement Reserve and the Operating Reserve are to be maintained
at conventional rates. TCAC requirements on rental income are strict to assure steady cash flow.
The operating costs are standard. The City has approved SBCS' selection of the property
management firm, Cuatro Properties Inc., and if a problem occurs the City will be involved to assure
proper handling. TCAC has strict management requirements which will only be met by a highly
qualified firm.
~-~
Page 6, Item _
Meeting Date 10-21-97
RISK THREE - Early Release of Pre development Funds: The pre development funds will need to be released
before the construction loan is closed. However, unlike the Rancho del Rey Cordova Village loan terms, the
Trolley Terrace Townhomes' predevelopment funds are not being released before the tax credits are
awarded. South Bay Community Services has already secured tax credits. This decreases the risk of
lending funds that may not be recoverable.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
. Predevelopment funds will not be released until South Bay Community Services has purchased the
land from the City for $372,940. If construction closing does not occur, the City will buy back
the land for $372,940, which the City could then sell at a profit to a third party to reclaim the lost
pre development funds.
. The City will disburse predevelopment funds only on a reimbursement basis.
. City staff has copies of funding commitments from the Bank of America Community Development
Bank and from lISC.
. The City predevelopment dollars will be used for architectural work, environmental studies,
engineering, planning fees, legal expenses tax credit fees, appraisal, market study costs, and related
"soft costs". If these dollars are spent and construction closing does not occur, SBCS will assign
the City their rights to the architect's plans, which are valued at one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000).
RISK FOUR - Developer Unable to Comolete Proiect South Bay Community Services must buy the land
before construction closing in order to meet a TCAC requirement. If construction closing does not occur,
the City will buy back the land. If construction closing does happen and the project is unexpectedly
interrupted afterwards, the City could have an incomplete project.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
. The City must transfer land before construction closing, in order for South Bay Community Services
to meet a TCAC rule to spend 10% of the TCAC defined development costs by November 7, 1997.
If construction closing does not happen, the City will invoke a Buy Back Option to have South Bay
Community Services sell the land back to the City. If construction closing does happen and the
development is interrupted for some reason, the general contractor for the project has posted a
performance bond naming the City as beneficiaries, and the City has received a commitment from
TCAC.
. SBCS's performance under the DDA will be secured by a second priority deed of trust on the
property.
. The City has cure rights enabling the City to hire someone else to complete the project. A
performance bond on the general contractor would have been secured by this point which guarantees
the completion of the general contractor's work. A new developer, preferably a non profit because
of the special financing terms designed to match the current non profit status, would need to be
brought into replace SBCS. Repayment of the loans will not have been further jeopardized at this
~-?

Meeting Date 10-21-97
point given the project gets completed. If the City is not be able to payoff the debt necessary to
cure the loans, the City may lose the amount of monies advanced at the time. This would be left
to the City's discretion at the time of such an event which allows the City a choice as to their
course of action.
. Certificate of current "Occurrence Made Insurance Policy" be given to the City.
OTHER RISK MITIGATION MEASURES UNDER THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
. Before the City will fund the Non-Predevelopment Loan Dollars, the developer shall close escrow
simultaneously with the Bank of America Community Development Bank, and shall have obtained
a preliminary allocation of low-income housing tax credits from TCAC, and have met all the
conditions contained in the Amended and Restated Conveyance Agreement.
. As a condition to close of escrow, the developer shall submit to the City a certified copy of the
construction contract between developer and general contractor for all of the improvements required
to be constructed by the developer. The general contractor shall be approved by the City.
. Ten percent (10%) of the construction costs will be set aside for a contingency.
. In the event of "Gross Mismanagement" of the Project, City shall have the authority to require that
such Gross Mismanagement cease immediately, and further to require the immediate replacement
of the Property Manager. City shall provide written notice to Developer of an event of Gross
Mismanagement and Developer shall have fifteen (15) days to cure such problem (or for such events
of Gross Mismanagement that cannot be cured within 15 days, that Developer has commenced such
cure within the 15 day period.
. SBCS is required to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance on the project which names
City as additional insureds. SBCS must also indemnify and hold harmless the City against any and
all project liabilities.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS
Originally when this proposal was presented by Habitat for Humanity a community meeting was held with
the residents, City officials, and the development team, which took place about two years ago. The
residents were noticed and a small group gathered. The concept of the project was well received.
In February 1997, City staff noticed the residents and business/property owners within 1000 feet radius
around the subject property to invite them to participate in the March 18, 1997 Council meeting. A few
residents called in response to this notice indicating support for the project and asking to be put on a
waiting list.
FISCAL IMPACT: On March 18, 1997 the City Council approved the City investment for the Trolley
Terrace Townhome development to be for a total of $896,905 combining the cash allocation with the value
of land. The loans will accrue interest at 3% per annum and is projected to be paid back out of the
project's "residual receipts" or refinance proceeds. The current project pro forma projects that this will
occur in approximately 55 years.
~-7
Page B. Item _
Meeting Date 10-21-97
The City will receive approximately $250,000 from the developer for payment of the permits and fees.
As described above, there are risks involved in lending the funds. In summary, there are two worst case
scenarios. First, if the development stops before construction loan closing, the means of recovering the
City's one hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($120,000) of predevelopment funds is two fold. First. in
the form of securing the rights of the architect plans, valued at one hundred thousand dollars. Second,
the City will have the right to buy back the land, which it can then sell at a profit.
Second, if the land has transferred to SBCS, construction has started, predevelopment dollars have all been
spent and for some reason the development is stopped due to a breach of contract or some kind of default.
In that case, the City has cure rights enabling the City to hire someone else to complete the project. A
performance bond on the general contractor would have been secured by this point which guarantees the
completion of the general contractor's work. A new developer, preferably a non profit because of the
special financing terms designed to match the current non profit status, would need to be brought into
replace SBCS. Repayment of the loans will not have been further jeopardized at this point given the project
gets completed. However, at worst, if the City is not be able to payoff the debt necessary to cure the
loans, the City may lose the amount of monies advanced at the time. This would be left to the City's
discretion at the time of such an event which allows the City a choice as to their course of action.
Despite these risks, staff feels the best possible security measures are in place in the Agreements to offset
the likelihood of any problems. The mitigation measures described within this report are carefully
structured to minimize any negative fiscal impact to the City.

the Project, subject to certain conditions designed to assure the
implementation of the Project in accordance with the General Plan,
state and federal law, HOME program regulations, and as otherwise
provided herein.
H. The development and operation of the Project pursuant to
this Agreement, and the fulfillment generally of this Agreement,

J. The Project accommodates several of the City's.
Comprehensive Housing Plan Objectives, which are expressly noted in

this Project serves are:
(1) Achievement of a balanced residential community
through integration of low and moderate income housing throughout
the City, and the adequate dispersal of such housing to preclude
establishment of specific low-income enclaves.
The construction of the Project on the west side of Chula
vista helps balance the new construction activity of affordable
units on the east side of Chula vista. This development will
improve the current condition of the Property and blend well into
the neighboring community's single family home setting.
(2) The provision of adequate rental housing
opportunities and assistance to households with low and very low
incomes, including those with special needs such as the elderly,
handicapped, single-headed households, and large families.
The Project will increase the supply of rental housing
opportunities and will attempt to offer homeownership-like
qualities through the organization of a cooperative, which is
anticipated to be created and given ownership of the Project after
fifteen years of its development. This Project will serve the
special needs population of large families with very low incomes by
providing three-bedroom units. This Project uses several
implementing tools the city recommends in meeting this objective by
facilitating the use of federal and state funding, including the
participation of a non-profit community development corporation,
and adjusting the land use permitted by utilizing the density bonus
ordinance to maximize the number of units to built on the Property.

conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the
construction of the Project and of full compliance with the terms

Agreement to the contrary, any party then owning or thereafter'
purchasing, leasing, or otherwise acquiring any interest in the
Property shall not (because of such ownership, purchase, lease, or
acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement
for which such certificate of Completion is issued, except that
such party shall be bound by the covenants contained in Sections
5.1 through 5.5 herein, inclusive, in accordance therewith. City
shall not unreasonably withhold the Certificate of Completion. If
city refuses or fails to furnish the certificate of Completion
after written request from Developer, City shall, within fifteen
(15) days after such written request, provide Developer with a
written statement of the reasons City refused or failed to furnish
such certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain
City's opinion of the action Developer must take to obtain such
certificate of Completion. If the reason for such refusal is
confined to the immediate availability of specific items or
materials for landscaping, City shall issue its certificate of
Completion upon the posting of cash deposit or an irrevocable
letter of credit in favor of city in an amount representing the
fair value of the work not yet completed and in a form reasonably

household shall increase to this new level and
the vacant unit shall be redesignated as a
unit to be rented to households of the income
level which was previously met by the
household whose income has increased.
(ii) If in any Home-assisted unit the household
income increases to an amount over eighty
percent (80%) of the median income for the
MSA, that household's rent for the Restricted

particular Restricted unit may not be
increased as described in this paragraph (ii),
the requirements of paragraphs (i) ahd (iii)
shall continue to apply.
(Ui)
In no event, during the period covered by this
Section 5.1.2, shall the rent for any
Restricted unit in the Project exceed the
"fair market rent" for comparable units in the

Housing Authority.
In addition to the foregoing, Developer agrees to perform all
of its obligations under the Regulatory Agreement between the Tax
Credit Allocation Committee and Developer (4 California Code of
Regulations 9 10340(c)). Should City be prevented by a final, non-
appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction in a lawsuit
involving the Project, or by an applicable and binding published
appellate opinion, or by a final, non-appealable order of a
regulatory body having jurisdiction from enforcing, for any reason,
the affordability restrictions set forth in this Agreement, then in
such event City shall be a third-party beneficiary under the TCAC
Regulatory Agreement and shall have full authority to enforce any
breach or default by Developer under the TCAC Regulatory Agreement
in the same manner as though it were a breach or default hereunder.
without City's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld
in City's sole and absolute discretion, Developer shall not consent
to any amendment of or modification to the TCAC Regulatory
Agreement which (i) shortens the term of the affordability
restrictions on the units in the Project to a term of less than
fifty-five (55) years or (ii) releases Developer from the
requirement that the units be rented at affordable housing costs in
accordance with the Residential unit Mix.
5.1.3 Reports.
Developer, at its expense, shall submit, or cause the Property
Manager to submit, to the appropriate entities any and all reports
required to be submitted pursuant to the HOME Investment
Partnership Program and HOME Regulations.
5.1.4 Insurance.

Property, Developer shall furnish to the city duplicate originals
or appropriate certificates of insurance coverage evidencing that
Developer has obtained, or cause to be obtained, insurance coverage
with respect to the Property and Project in type, amount and from
insurers with Best's A-V ratings or better, as are reasonably
acceptable to City, naming the City and its officers, agents,
employees, representatives and their respective successors, as
named or additional insureds by appropriate endorsements. Such
Z/17THA
-42-
~ ?:~-;jr
policy shall include, without limitation "all risk" property
casualty insurance and comprehensive general liability insurance.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such poltcy shall
also include coverage to insure Developer's indemnity obligations
provided herein. Developer covenants and agrees for itself and its
successors and assigns that Developer and such successors and
assigns shall keep such policy in full force and effect until the
date that is fifty five (55) years after the Effective Date.
In addition to any other remedy which City may have hereunder
for Developer's failure to procure, maintain, and/or pay for the
insurance required herein, city may (but without any obligation to
do so) at any time or from time to time, after thirty (30) days
written notice to Developer, procure such insurance and pay the
premiums therefor, in which event Developer shall immediately repay
City all sums so paid by City together with interest thereon at the.
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum legal rate,
whichever is less.
5.1.5 Repair of Damaqe.
a. Obliqation to Repair and Restore Damaqe Due to
Casualtv Covered bv Insurance.
Subject to subparagraph (c) below, if the Project shall be
totally or partially destroyed or rendered wholly or partly
uninhabitable by fire or other casualty required to be insured
against by Developer, Developer shall promptly proceed to obtain
insurance proceeds and take all steps necessary to promptly and
diligently commence the repair or replacement of the Project to
sUbstantially the same condition as the Project is required to be
maintained in pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not the
insurance. proceeds are sufficient to cover the actual cost of
repair, replacement, or restoration, and Developer shall complete
the same as soon as possible thereafter so that the Project can
continue to be operated and occupied as an affordable housing
proj ect in accordance with this Agreement. Subj ect to Section 7.3,
in no event shall the repair, replacement, or restoration period
exceed one (1) year from the date Developer obtains insurance
proceeds unless the city Manager, in his or her sole and absolute
discretion, approves a longer period of time. City shall cooperate
with Developer, at no expense to city, in obtaining any
governmental permi ts required for the repair, replacement, or
restoration. If, however, the then-existing laws of any other
governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Property do not
permit the repair, replacement, or restoration, Developer may elect
not to repair, replace, or restore the Project by giving notice to
City (in which event Developer will be entitled to all insurance
proceeds, subject to any outstanding lien obligations, but
Developer shall be required to remove all debris from the Property)
or Developer may reconstruct such other improvements on the
Property as are consistent with applicable land use regulations and
Z/17THA
-43-
~ ~4~'i5
approved by the City and the other governmental agency or agencies
with jurisdiction.
b. Continued Operations.
During any period of repair, Developer shall continue, or
cause the continuation of, the operation of the housing complex on
the Property to the extent reasonably practicable from the
standpoint of prudent business management.
c. Damaqe or Destruction Due to Cause Not Required to
be Covered bv Insurance.
If the improvements comprising the Project are completely
destroyed or substantially damaged by a casualty for which
Developer is not required to insure against (and has not insured
against), then Developer shall not be required to repair, replace,
or restore such improvements and may elect not to do so by
providing city with written notice of election not to repair,
replace, or restore within ninety (90) days after such substantial
damage or destruction. In such event, Developer shall remove all
debris from the Property. As used in this subparagraph (c),
"substantial damage" caused by a casualty not required to be (and
not) covered by insurance shall mean damage or destruction which is
fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement cost of the
improvements comprising the Project. In the event Developer does
not timely elect not to repair, replace, or restore the
improvements as set forth in the first sentence of this
subparagraph (c), Developer shall be conclusively deemed to have
waived its right not to repair, replace, or restore the
improvements and thereafter Developer shall promptly commence and
complete the repair, replacement, or restoration of the damaged or
destroyed improvements in accordance with subparagraphs (a) above
and continue operation of the housing complex during the period of
repair (if practicable) in accordance with subparagraph (b) above.
5.2 Marketinq and Leasinq of units.
5.2.1 Lease Preference and Marketinq Plan.
The leasing preference provisions set forth in this section
5.2.1 shall apply only in the event, and to the extent, such

Tax Credit Program, or any other applicable law.

residing or working in the City of Chula vista who meet the
eligibility requirements.
To encourage the greatest possible opportunity for such
residents of, or persons working in Chula vista, to lease the units

of the units to the population of residents or persons working in
Chula Vista who would be interested in leasing such units. To
accomplish this goal, Developer and City shall each undertake the
following activities:
a. publicitv Campaiqn Prior to Openinq.
The Marketing Plan to be submitted to the Housing Coordinator
shall include and set forth a publicity campaign including but not
limited to newspaper advertising and press releases. The publicity
campaign may want to consider notices in appropriate foreign
languages to reach the broadest section of the community.
Developer shall execute the approved plan in a timely fashion to
insure the greatest possible participation in the Project amongst
persons residing or working in the city of Chula vista.

to City by Developer. Such amounts shall constitute liquidated
damages to City as a result of Developer's breach of its covenants

the nature of the effect of such breach, the actual damages to City
as a result thereof would be impracticable or extremely difficult
to ascertain. It is understood and agreed that the right of City
to collect, or the actual collection by city of, such above-
described amounts shall be in addition to any other remedies City
may have against Developer as a result of the breach of such
covenants, including, without limitation, rights of specific
performance and the right to prove actual damages.

federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental .agencies
and bodies having or claiming jurisdiction and all their respective
departments, bureaus, and officials. The city places prime
importance on quality maintenance to protect their investment and
to ensure that all City subsidized affordable housing projects are
not allowed to deteriorate due to below-average maintenance. In
addition, Developer shall keep the Property free from any
accumulation of debris or waste material. The maintenance covenant
contained in this Section 5.3 shall remain in effect for the term
of the affordability restrictions set forth herein.
In the event that Developer breaches any of the covenants
contained in this section 5.3 and such default continues for a
period of five (5) days after written notice from City (with
respect to landscaping [except as may be caused by a government-
imposed watering moratorium], graffiti, debris, waste material, and
general maintenance) or thirty (30) days after written notice from
City (with respect to building improvements), then city, in
addition to whatever other remedy it may have at law or in equity,
shall have the right to enter upon the Property and/or the open
space area and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and
work necessary to cure the default. Pursuant to such right of

Coordinator's review and approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, a management plan which ensures that the
Property Manager will comply with the terms and intent of this
Agreement in its operation of the Project. The Property Manager
shall be required to retain an on-site manager for the Project at
all times covered by this Agreement. Any amendments or
modifications to such plan shall be approved in advance by the
Housing Coordinator, which approval shall not be unreasonably
Z/17THA
-47~ 64 - f7
withheld.
5.4.2 Gross Mismanaqement.
In the event of "Gross Mismanagement" (as that term is defined
below) of the Project, City shall have the authority to require
that such Gross Mismanagement cease immediately, and further to
require the immediate replacement of the Property Manager. City
shall provide written notice to Developer of an event of Gross
Mismanagement and Developer shall have fifteen (15) days to cure
such problem (or for such events of Gross Mismanagement that cannot
be cured within 15 days, that Developer has commenced such cure
within the IS-day period).
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Gross Mismanagement"
shall mean management of the Project in a manner which violates the
terms and/or intention of this Agreement to operate an affordable
housing complex of the highest standard, and shall include, but is
not limited to, the following:
(i) Knowingly and willfully leasing Restricted
Uni ts to tenants that exceed the prescribed
income levels;
(ii) Allowing the tenants in any of the Restricted
units to exceed the prescribed occupancy
levels without taking immediate action to stop
such overcrowding;
(iii)
Under-funding the prescribed

customary and standard for affordable housing projects similar in
Z/17THA

~ ~LJ-5C
size and scope to the Project.
5.5 Capital Replacement Reserve.
Developer, shall, or shall cause the Property Manager to,
annually set aside a minimum of four (4%) percent of the Effective
Gross Rental Income, or such other amount as the parties may agree
to in writing, into a separate interest-bearing trust account (the
"Capital Replacement Reserve"). Funds in the Capital Replacement
Reserve shall be used for capital replacements to the Project's
fixtures and equipment which are normally capitalized under
generally accepted accounting principles.
Once the total amount of the Capital Replacement Reserve
exceeds an amount which is one hundred and ten (110%) percent of
that which is customary and standard for affordable housing
projects similar in size, scope and character to the Project (the
"Capital Replacement Reserve Minimum"), and is maintained at that
level, Developer shall have no further obligation to fund the
Capital Replacement Reserve in excess of the Capital Replacement
Reserve Minimum.
Funds in the Capital Replacement Reserve account may be
distributed to Developer (or others) only after full payment of
loan amounts due or only upon the prior written approval of the
Housing Coordinator, which approval may be given or withheld in the
Housing Coordinator's sole discretion.
The non-availability of funds in the Capital Replacement
Reserve does not in any manner relieve Developer of the obligation
to undertake necessary capital repairs and improvements and to
continue to maintain the Property in the manner prescribed in
Section 5.3.
5.6 Obliqation to Refrain from Discrimination.
Subject to the tenancy/occupation restrictions permitted by
federal law as embodied in this Agreement, which may modify the

(subject to the TCAC Regulatory Agreement) or, if such covenants
are breached (subject to any cure rights provided herein) to
exercise all rights and remedies and to maintain any actions or
suits at law or in equity or other proper proceedings to enforce
the curing of such breaches to which it or any other beneficiaries

and any arid all remedies provided in the City Trust Deed and the
City Notes including, without limitation, foreclosure proceedings

its successors and assigns and every person acquiring an interest
in the Property, or any part thereof, that city and other public
agencies at their sole risk and expense, shall have the right to

material default hereunder permitting the City to exercise any of
its rights or obligations provided hereunder, including, without

Deed, or otherwise provided at law or in equity.
5.9 Limited EQUitv Cooperative.
It is the objective of the parties that the Project be
designed and operated as a limited equity cooperative (the
"Cooperative") . It is anticipated that the Cooperative will be
organized as a separate non-profit organization formed on behalf of
the residents of the Project who will be actively involved in the
day-to-day activities of the Cooperative and the Project. The
parties anticipate that the residents of the Project will acquire
membership in the Cooperative by purchasing a "share" evidencing
their interest in the Cooperative. It is anticipated that during
the fifteen (15) year period following the issuance of the
Z/17THA
-52-
~ ;;/l-st
certificate of occupancy by the City, the Cooperative will lease
the Project from its initial owner. To the extent it is
economically and legally feasible, the parties anticipate that upon
the fifteenth anniversary of the issuance of the certificate of
occupancy by the City, the Cooperative will be provided with an
opportunity to purchase the Project. It is further anticipated
that upon termination of residency, Cooperative members will be
required to sell their Cooperative shares to the Cooperative or the
successor residents. The Cooperative is intended to encourage
residents to be actively involved in the Project and the general
welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. In furtherance of this
objective, Developer will assist the residents in establishing a
volunteer board of directors comprised of Cooperative members to be
assisted by volunteer committees, such as a safety/security
committee, a membership committee, a landscape/maintenance
committee, and a community relations/resident activities committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged that
there currently exists no operative documents establishing or
governing the Cooperative and that any terms and conditions thereof
are subject to feasibility and modification consistent with the
goals stated herein. Nothing herein is intended to create any
third party beneficiaries, and no person or entity other than city
and Developer shall be authorized to enforce the provisions of this
section 5.9.

except as expressly set forth in section 6.2 and this section 7.3,
performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in
default and such party shall be entitled to an extension of time to
perform its obligations hereunder where delays in performance are
due to causes beyond the control and without the fault of such

outs; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; supernatural
causes; acts of the public enemy; epidemics; quarantine
restrictions; freight embargoes; lack of transportation;

financing, interest rates, and market and economic conditions shall
entitle Developer to an extension of time to perform not to exceed
a cumulative total of six (6) months; provided, however that the
six (6) month limit shall not apply to Developer's inability to
sell the low income housing tax credits at an amount sufficient to
yield approximately the Tax Credit Equity as shown on the Project

shall be interpreted to entitle Developer to an extension of time

ITEM TITLE:
Resolution /??Jiving the Bidding process and awarding
Purchase Agreement to California Turf Products for four 84"
riding lawn mowers.
Director Of Public workS#
Director of Finance ~\:.:
REVIEWED BY: City ManagerJG.. \yv{~ ~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No-1L)
The FY 1997-98 Equipment Replacemek)Budget provides for the purchase of four 84"
riding mowers. California Turf Products has agreed to sell the mowers (if available) to
the City for $22,590 each plus tax ($24,341). The City purchased an identical mower
from California Turf Products as part of the FY 1996-97 Equipment Replacement
program for $27,925 plus tax ($30,090). Waiving the bidding process and purchasing
the mowers at the quoted price would provide significant savings for the City.
SUBMITTED BY:
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution which will waive the bidding process
and award the purchase agreement to California Turf Equipment for the purchase of
four 84" riding mowers.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION: On November 20, 1996, the Purchasing Agent opened bids for the
purchase of two 48" and one 84" riding mowers. Ten bid packages were sent out with
five bidders responding. At the City Council meeting on January 28, 1997, Council
awarded the bid (the Agenda Statement from that meeting is attached) for the
purchase of one 84" riding mower (a Toro Groundsmaster 3000-D, 4WD) to the lowest
responsive bidder, California Turf Products. The price of the mower was $30,090.
California Turf Products agreed to keep the same price for three months and agreed to
perInit other Public Agencies to purchase at the same price, which some have done.
As most of the sales for this particular mower are to golf courses, Toro recently
changed the design on 1997 mowers to provide for a contour cutting deck. This
flexible deck would be able to accommodate the mounds used in golf courses. All
1997 production models can accommodate the fastenings for either deck, but 1996
models cannot. Because of this, the Toro Company is offering 1996 production
models (identical to the one purchased by the City last Fiscal Year) at reduced pricing.
Through October 31, or until inventory is depleted, these mowers are available at
$24,341. Should Council approve this Resolution tonight and no mowers are available,
staff will bid the four mowers as usuaL The Purchasing Agent recommends waiving
the bidding process since this bidder was the lowest responsive bidder on a recent bid
and since the price is lower than that bid, this is the most cost effective way for the
City to purchase the four 84" mowers in this year's budget.
7-/
Page 2. Item___
Meeting Date 10/21/97
Staff recommends waiving the bidding process since:
. This price is $5,749 less than the last bid for each mower for a total savings
of $22,996 and staff does not believe a cheaper price would result from
bidding.
. Since the price expires on October 31, time is not available to bid and take
advantage of this offer.
. The Fleet Manager reports that the mower received from the last bid has
been dependable.
. The City would have five large mowers of exactly the same type, which
provides advantages for maintenance. Spare parts will be available
throughout the life of the mowers. Toro will not end support with the
model change.
FISCAL IMPACT: $30,100 per mower for a total of $120,400 is available in the
Equipment Replacement budget for purchase of the four mowers. The price, including
sales ta.x, is $24,341 each for a total of $97,364. When the mowers are received, the
mowers being replaced will be sold at auction. Over the first year or two, it is
expected that the new mowers will cost less to maintain, which will be reflected in
their rental rates.

Meeting Date 01128/97
ITEM TITLE: Resolution /S' 5 {p 4ejecting non-responsive bid and accepting
bid and awarding contract to Pacific Lawnmower for the purchase
of two 48" riding lawn mowers; and rejecting non-responsive bids,
accepting bids and awarding contract to California Turf for one

REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No---XJ
On November 20, 1996, the Purchasing Agent accepted bids for the purchase of two
48" and one 84" riding mowers. For the 48" mowers, Pacific Lawnmower was the
apparent second low bid, with a pre-tax price of 57,436.65. For the 84" mower,
California Turf was the apparent fourth low bid with a pre-tax price of 527,925.00.
However, due to non-responsiveness of the lower bidders to the advertised
specifications, both of the firms were, in fact, the low bidders for the mowers.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council award the contract to Pacific Lawnmower for
the 48" riding lawn mowers and to California Turf for the 84" riding lawn mower.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION: The FY96-97 equipment replacement budget provides for the
purchase of two replacement small riding lawn mowers and one large riding
lawnmower. Ten potential bidders were contacted and the bid was also advertised in
the local newspaper. Two Chula Vista vendors were contacted and chose not to
submit bids. Five bidders responded as follows, with the recommended item in bold:

items, but do not meet specs.
The Fleet Manager, in coordination with the using department, prepares the
specifications for all fleet equipment. These specifications are developed considering
the operating needs of the using department as well as durability and ease of
maintenance. For this particular bid, the bidders supplying the lowest bids did not
meet specifications and were not selected. The reasons for the rejections are included
in the narrative below.

Page 2, Item___
Meeting Date 01/28/97
The first low bid for the 48" mower, C.R. Jaeschke, requested exceptions to the
specifications that would negatively affect the productivity of the mower. Steering
and ground speed are not controlled by levers as specified, which adversely affect the
quickness and agility of the mower. The cut grass discharge is not aided by an
impeller as specified and therefore the amount of cut grass picked up by the mower is
diminished. These exceptions were not accepted by the Fleet Manager and operating
department.
The first low bid for the 84" mower, Jacobsen, bid a mower that was smaller in size
than the specifications. The cutting width was narrower and the engine horsepower
was less. These exceptions were not accepted by the Fleet Manager and operating
department. The second and third low bids, Howard Price Mowers, distributed by Bob
Hicks Turf Equipment Co., Inc., were rejected by the Fleet Manager and operating
department because they did not meet specs. One of the areas in which the specs
were not met, was the Power Take Off (PTO) and clutch. The City currently has a two
year old mower of the same type which has shown extremely poor performance. In
these two years, the mower has been returned to the Bob Hicks facility in Anaheim at
least ten times for repairs to the PTO and clutch, the same areas for which the bidder
requested exceptions from the specifications. Ten is the number of times that can be
documented by Equipment Maintenance. The mower has also been picked up directly
from Parks Maintenance staff. These repairs have all been completed under warranty
and have not cost the City directly. However, there have been administrative and
operational costs when the mower was not available for service. In addition, the
Howard Price Mowers do not have the capability to recycle the cut grass back into the
turf as specified, which negatively affects the productivity of the mower and adds
additional costs for turf nutrients.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds ($66,468) are provided in the FY96-97 equipment
replacement budget for the purchase of the three mowers. The total amount
including 7.75% sales tax is 546,115.17, which is 520,353 less than the budgeted
estimate.

Re: Toro Groundsmaster 3000-0
Dear Mr. Beyers:
On November 20th, 1996, The City ofChula Vista purchased a Toro Groundsmaster
3000-0, 4WO with an 84 inch RecycJer Deck for the amount of$27,925.00.
Approximately 60 per cent of our sales in the Groundsmaster series is in the golf
market. Market demands showed that we needed to develop a contour deck to
accommodate the mounding being used by more and more golf courses.
In July Toro introduced the new 82 Contour Cutting Deck. However, because of
changes in the connection anns between the traction unit and deck, only 1997 production
can be used. Therefore, The Toro Company is offering 1996 production at reduced
pricing.
A Toro Groundsmaster 3000-0 4WO with a 84 inch RecycJer Deck is now being offered
for $22,590. This special pricing is for the period of September 1st, 1997 through
October 31 st, 1997 or until inventory is depleted.
This special pricing offers The City of Chula Vista a rare opportunity to upgrade your
current fleet at a considerable saving. If you have further questions, you may contact me
at 676-6041.

Resolution Authorizing the Mayor to execute an amendment to the
Commercial Industrial Incentive Agreement with SDG&E for implementation
of a comprehensive energy retrofit program.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Work~C1.~/
REVIEWED BY: City ManageJ~ ~~ffis vote: Yes_NolO
The City Council approved the Phase III Commercial Industrial Incentive Agreement at its May 6,
1997 meeting. Phase III of the retrofit program included H. V.A. C. mechanical retrofits to six major
city facilities, based on a preliminary energy study. SDG&E project engineers have since conducted
further studies during the technical specifications development, requiring design changes to the
project. In addition, final bids received from the three SDG&E qualified contractors were higher
than anticipated. These two factors necessitated an amendment to the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1) Adopt the resolution amending the Commercial
Industrial Incentive Agreement with SDG&E for the implementation of a comprehensive energy
retrofit program and 2) Authorize installation of a refrigerant vapor detection alarm and an
automatic ventilation system for compliance of the Uniform Machinery Code 1994, as part of the
Police Department building retrofit effort.
BOARDS & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The project changed from what was originally presented to Council, because of 2 major reasons.
The first is that the original design as proposed by the City's consultant did not take into account
some features that were discovered during the specification development. The second factor is that
the San Diego based H.V.A.C. companies are very busy and consequently are not bidding as low
as originally estimated. The Engineering design changes, along with unanticipated construction
upgrade costs, affected the scope of work on all the original energy projects. The only project which
still qualifies for the Commercial Industrial Incentive Program is the Police Department Chiller
Replacement Project.
At the Police Department, Engineering Design changes were made to replace the existing chilled
water pump with two smaller energy efficient pumps with variable speed design motors. This design
change resulted in a higher project cost, but was offset by increased annual energy savings and a
higher incentive from SDG&E. Staff instructed SDG&E to proceed with this portion of the original
agreement because if the project was not completed by December 31, 1997, the City would not
receive the $22,114 in incentives from SDG&E. Although not a part of the energy program, the
engineers recommended installation of a refrigerant vapor detection alarm and an automatic
9-/
Page 2, Item _
Meeting Date 10/21/97
ventilation system for the mechanical room. This would bring the City into compliance with the
Uniform Machinery Code 1994.
Upon further and more detailed engineering analysis, the Legislative Building, City Hall, Public
Services Building, Norman Park Center, and the EI Dorado turned out to be not cost effective with
over a 20-year payback period, of funds invested, based on energy savings. The Police Building
retained its costlbenefit to the City, even with the further Engineering changes, and has a 4.8 year
payback.
The following table indicates the revised project proposals received from SDG&E. Revised Annual
Energy Savings, SDG&E Incentives, and project payback. Also shown is 1 bid option for which
SDG&E received bid proposals. Bid option #1 is for the installation of a refrigerant vapor detection
alarm and an automatic ventilation system upgrade, which would bring the Police Department
Mechanical Room into compliance with Uniform Mechanical Code 1994.

Although these projects were submitted to Council as Phase III of the Energy Retrofit Program, the
majority of these facilities also have maintenance issues related to the age of the equipment that was
recommended for replacement. The Police Department Chiller, which still qualifies for the Energy
Program, is over 25 years of age and would have needed $24,000 in repairs to the existing
condensers and compressors. Staff recommends Council approve expenditures for Option #1, the
9-d-.

Meeting Date 10/21/97
Refrigerant Vapor Detection Alarm and Automatic Ventilation System because it is a safety upgrade
which should he done at the same time as the Chiller Replacement, at a cost of $14,415.
Since acquiring the El Dorado Building, the Construction and Repair Stan has replaced 3 of the
H.V.A.C. package units and 3 of the smaller split units. The remaining 14 H.V.A.C. units are
hetween 12 to 18 years old and could be replaced by Construction Repair Staff through the minor
C.!. P. process next fiscal year. By doing this project in-house, stan' would reduce the proposed
hard dollar project cost from $35,739 to approximately $17,500.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funding for this project is from the approved lease-purchase agreement
of $306,000 for the original Commercial Industrial Incentive Agreement. The Amended Commercial
Industrial Incentive Agreement is for a project cost of $137,536 and if the City upgrades the
Automatic Refrigeration Ventilation System, an additional $14,415. The total project costs would
be $151,951. The unused portion of the lease-purchase agreement proceeds, $154,049 ($306,000-
$151,951), will be prepaid back to the lender in order to minimize interest costs.

ITEM TITLE:
A. Report On accepting bids, awarding purchase order

and pipeline inspection system.
B. Resolution 18783 Accepting bids, awarding purchase

REVIEWED BY: City Manager \8 ~Ci'Y\ I (4/5ths Vote: Yes~No_)
V /"'7
At the City Council meeting on Septe er 23, 1997, staff recommended that Council
award the bid for a new Sewer Pipeline Inspection System and van to Pearpoint, Inc. A
sales person from 3-T Equipment, a competing bidder (whom staff declared non-
responsive), requested that Council award them the bid. Council directed that staff
reevaluate the competing bids to determine if single conductor is a material defect
and better explain why staff came to that conclusion. Staff has reexamined the bids
and still recommends that the bid be awarded to Pearpoint, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept this report finding that Pearpoint, Inc.
is the lowest responsive bidder and adopt Resolution 18783: Accepting bids, awarding
purchase order contract, and appropriating funds for purchase of one sewer van and
pipeline inspection system.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION: For over a year-and-a-half, staff has been examining Sewer TV
inspection systems in an effort to determine which would best meet the City's needs
for a replacement for the City's nine year old system. During that time, the Public
Works Supervisor (Mr. Dave McRoberts) in charge of the TV inspection crew has
reviewed literature, observed demonstrations of competing products and talked to
other agencies to obtain their feedback. The end products of this work were the
specifications that were prepared for the system and the recommendation made to
Council at the September 23, 1997, meeting. At the September 23 meeting, Mr. Rick
Lewis, a Salesperson for 3-T Equipment, a distributor of RST1 Equipment, distributed a
letter to staff and Council enumerating why Council should award the bid to 3-T
rather than Pearpoint, Inc. The Agenda Statement from the 9/23/97 meeting is
included as attachment A
During the 9/23 meeting, staff indicated that once it was determined that a single
conductor system was a material defect, staff did not continue to ensure that 3-T's bid
was equivalent to Pearpoint and CUES in terms of software and operational capability.
J Throughout this report, RST and 3- T will be used interchangeably. RST is the manufacturer of
the equipment and 3-T is the distributor and, in this case, the organization that submitted the
bid.
J() .~/
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 10/21197
For example, the specifications required that the software with the inspection system do the
following: "maintain database of underground assets, video events, camera footage; drive
printer for reports and graphs; and exchange information with the City's GIS database." The
original bid as submitted by 3-T did not include such software. In an effort to obtain the best
deal for the City as possible, staff examined whether or not RST could meet the requirement.
RST technical staff presented software that would minimally meet the specifications at no
additional charge. This software would not, however, include video capture or graphical
reports as do Pearpoint's and CUES' software. As was explained to the Mayor and Council
at the 9/23 meeting, these are important features that the City requires. Since Mr. Lewis
protested the bid at the September 23 meeting, staff has gone back to RST to get costs on
those items necessary to make the systems more equivalent. All in all, Pearpoint still has the
best software for Chula Vista's needs. The GIS Manager agrees with this assessment. The
table below shows the costs of the three companies' products with: improved software and
controller/video system for video capture (for RST); and improved controller system (as was
explained for Pearpoint's bid in the 9/23 A1B) that permits direct use of the City's GIS on
board the van for all three companies; and sales tax. As the table indicates, once these items
are taken into consideration, the apparent low bidder is not 3-%, but CUES. Again, staff
wishes to reiterate, both the use of single conductor (3- T) and a tracked transporter (CUES)
are material defects to the bid and should not be accepted. Staff still strongly recommends
that the bid be awarded to Pearpoint. However, should Council not agree, we believe CUES'
tracked system is less of a problem than a single conductor system.

Pearpoint . , $157,790

The figures in this table do not Ulat'ch the original A1l3 due to'the indusion of
Sales Tax and the other iteUls men'tioned above.
During the preparation of specifications and evaluation of the bids, staff found that
salespeople usually try to place their products in the most favorable light. Because of
that, staff did not make the major focus claims made by salespeople, but rather staff's
knowledge and observations. That said, the remainder of this report will respond to
assertions and claims made by Mr. Lewis at the September 23 meeting. The report will
follow the organization of Mr. Lewis' letter of September 23, 1997, that he distributed
to Council and is included with this report as Attachment B. In addition, Mr. Lewis
made additional comments at the meeting. In many cases, staff responded to those
comments at the September 23 meeting. Any comments that require a response will
also be addressed in this report. The original Agenda Statement with the Resolution is
included as Attachment A. to this Agenda Item and has not been modified. Staff still
believes the assertion made in that Agenda Statement that RST's single conductor is a
material defect to the specifications and therefore non responsive is correct.

Meeting Date 10/21/97
1. It was not difficult for Pearpoint to meet the specification exactly because it is
proprietary to Pearpoint. The specification even uses the name Pearpoint
Flexiview TM.
The Purchasing Agent addressed the use of Brand Names in bid
specifications during the 9/23/97 meeting.
2. The information used to eliminate single conductor system is incorrect and it
appears that the staff has been misinformed as to single conductor
technology.
The information used to eliminate single conductor systems was based, not
on competing sales presentations, but on staff's own experience with the
technology and discussions with other agencies using single conductor
systems. RST has asserted that their system is much better than that used
in our current CUES system. While that may be true, single conductor
technology still carries all the power for the lights, crawler, and camera as
well as the control and video signals on one wire. The handout provided by
Mr. Lewis on single conductor systems and comments made by Mr. Lewis
liken single conductor systems to cable television. This is not an apt
analogy. Cable coax wires carry only signals for the television tuner. They
do not also carry the power for the television, a VCR, and the cable tuner
box as well as all the remote control signals for the television. In effect, this
is exactly what single conductor systems do. It's the mix between all the
power requirements for the entire system plus all the control signals and
video signals that lead to the problems Chula Vista and others have
experienced. To confirm this, staff discussed this with the City's Electronics
Technicians who confirmed Sewer staff's understanding of the inherent
problems. One amplification to the original explanation is that RST's
control signals are sent as tones similar to a telephone. The video signals
are sent as FM signals and, as has happened to us, one of 3-T's references
indicated that their FM signal had gotten out of synch with the controller
and had to be sent to the factory for repair.
One other assertion made by Mr. Lewis and in the RST handout is that single
conductor cable is lighter than multi-conductor cable. This is incorrect.
RST's cable (as reported by RST's owner) weighs no Lb. per thousand feet
whereas multi-conductor cable weighs 60 Lb. per thousand feet. While it's
true that RST's cable has a breaking strength of 5400 pounds compared to
multi-conductor having a breaking strength of 2200 pounds, putting 2200
pounds, much less 5400, on the cable while retrieving the camera could
seriously damage the transporter and camera long before the cable parted.
3. We see no reason this council should take the sales promotion of R.S.
Technical Services over the sales promotion of a multi-conductor system. The
determination of which system is more reliable can only be determined by end
users. We are submitting a list of single conductor users so the City can do it's
own research. This list was provided with the bid, but none of the cities or
contractors were contacted.
Pearpoint does have a two page flyer (attachment C) that addresses the
differences between single and multi-conductor, but staff did not use that
/ tJ.- 3

Meeting Date 10/21/97
information. It was not used since Pearpoint would naturally prefer multi-
conductor, which is what they sell, and because it stresses what they believe
are inherent safety problems with single conductor. Since Chula Vista has
used the technology for nine years and has not had safety problems, staff
focused on the maintenance and operational experiences that we have had.
Mr. Lewis also indicated that staff had not contacted any references supplied
by 3-T. As indicated earlier, staff has been working on this replacement for
over a year and had, in fact, contacted many of those references in October
1996. In fact, Joe Smith from the City of National City indicated in 1996
that while he was happy with the system, it had not been used very much.
This seems to contradict what he said at the 9/23 meeting. In any event,
staff largely used our own knowledge and observations to form our
recommendations, since our experience was that references supplied by all
of the companies were favorable. It hardly seems likely that a company
would supply an unhappy customer as a reference. The City relied on other
Cities as Cities and Contractors have very different needs in a Sewer TV
inspection system. For example, Contractors do not need a City-wide
database or have GIS systems.
One other inference made by Mr. Lewis at the meeting was that current
Pearpoint users such as the City of Long Beach would tell us that they were
not happy with Pearpoint and that we should buy 3-T's system. We
contacted the City of Long Beach in the past and recontacted them and
discovered that they were very happy with their Pearpoint system and they
strongly recommended that Chula Vista purchase Pearpoint.
4. During a June 1997 demonstration by RST, the operators stated they have
never seen a Pearpoint system operate, even though the proprietary
specification was out to bid. Where as R.S. TECHNICAL Services Inc. has
provided 4 successful Mainline demonstration, One successful Storm Drain
and One successful Lateral demonstration to the city of Chula Vista which
resulted in the city of Chula Vista asking for specification and a quote for a
R.S. T. system.
The Public Works Supervisor in charge of the TV crew saw several
demonstrations by RST, CUES, and Pearpoint. This supervisor did ask for
RST specs just as he asked for specs from Pearpoint and CUES to ensure the
specs the City issued covered all important areas and to ensure the City
specified what it needed.
5. R.S. Technical Services Inc. is the only manufacture which has the confidence
to provide a ONE year warranty including the light bulbs and other ware
items you are being ask to purchase over and above the bid price. R.S. T. Also
provides a free lifetime loaner camera for as long as you own your system.
All three companies are now offering two year warranties instead of the one
year required in the specs. While RST offers their warranty on light bulbs,
staff does not believe light bulbs will be a major expense for Pearpoint or
CUES. In fact, a more likely expense item for both CUES and RST is the
pigtail connector to the crawler. Pearpoint uses a locking pin to pin
connector that does not wear as much as the other two companies' pigtails.
/(J- ;j
Page 5, Item___
Meeting Date 10/21/97
The City of San Diego staff indicated that when they had needed a loaner for
their lateral systems, a reliable working one was not available.
In addition, staff would have asked that the operating budget be amended
whichever Company received the bid due to the way the City's budget
process works. Public Works Operations does not have the luxury of a fat
budget that can absorb unforeseen expenses. As was indicated in
Attachment A, if the funds are not required, they will not be spent.
6. $31,000.00 is a greater deal of money. Great care must be used to determine
if there is a value in a higher price system. We submit that with unbiased
research, customer satisfaction will be the greatest determining factor in
deciding which system to purchase.
The difference between the Pearpoint bid and that of CUES and 3-T is
$26,930 and $20,559 respectively. Staff still believes that this difference is
warranted by Pearpoint's operational and durability superiority. More
importantly, as has been discussed in both this Agenda Statement and
Attachment A, both CUES' (page 2 of attachment A) and RST's (page 3 of
attachment A) bids had material defects and are non responsive
7. At the 9/23 meeting, Councilwoman Salis asked the following:
Does National City have GIS?
National City does not have GIS.
Who set up the CUES demonstration equipment?
CUES personnel set up their own equipment.
Mr. Lewis implied that staff had been led astray by competing sales staffs, did not
understand the differences between single and multi-conductor, and had not done a
proper job of evaluating all the systems bid. This is not the case. Staff spent
countless hours both in the preparation of the bid specifications and evaluation of the
bids received. Staff recommends that Council find that a single conductor system and
a tracked crawler are material defects and should not be accepted and that the bid be
awarded to Pearpoint.

On June 3, 1997, bids were opened foLJhe purchase of a Sewer Pipeline Inspection
System and van. Twenty five bid packages were sent out with five bidders responding.
None of the bidders are local companies. The lowest responsive bidder was Pearpoint,
Inc. Pearpoint's bid was for $144,986 plus applicable sales tax.

to Pearpoint, Inc.

DISCUSSION: The FY 1996-97 Equipment Replacement budget included
$143,540 for the replacement of the City's existing (purchased in 1988) Sewer Pipeline
Inspection System (TV inspection) and van. In preparation of drafting the
specifications for the system, staff invited the better known companies to
demonstrate their products. Staff used these demonstrations as well as a knowledge
of the City's needs and experience with our current system to prepare the
specifications for the new system. Bids were received on June 3, 1997. Although the
specifications were very specific, it is understood in a bid such as this that exceptions
will be allowed (so as to not unnecessarily exclude companies) as long as they meet
the intent of the specifications and are not material. To ensure that any permitted
exceptions would not affect performance and maintenance, an exhaustive evaluation
was conducted by the Deputy Director of Public Works/Operations and his staff. Since
it was apparent that the evaluation would not be completed and the contract awarded
prior to the end of FY 1996-97, the funds for the purchase were reappropriated for FY
1997-98. The bids received are shown in the table below. The bids shown are as
received, although the only bidders that met all material specifications were Pearpoint
and Lasher Auto Center. This means that Pearpoint is the lowest responsive bidder.

* The Cues bid includes an additional $6,000 option for a van with a
higher GVWR than was specified that is better able to support the
weight of the equipment. The other bidders included the higher
GVWR van as part of their bids.
All of the bidders (except Pearpoint and Lasher Auto Center) had exceptions to the
City's specifications. In some instances, the bidder agreed to change their bid to meet
the specifications. In others, staff determined that the exceptions were not material
and did not deviate from the intent of the specifications. The following discussion
will only include those exceptions that staff has determined are material and do not
comply with the intent of the specifications.
The specifications requested a multi-conductor system with a wheeled transporter.
The system bid by the apparent low bidder, 3-T Equipment, is a single conductor
system and is therefore unacceptable as this is a material deficiency. An explanation
of the two systems and their differences is attached. A single conductor system is
similar to the City's current system manufactured by Cues, Inc. Many of the
maintenance and operational problems with our current system are due to the nature
of a single conductor system as opposed to a multi-conductor system. The system bid
by the next apparent low bidder, Aries Industries, does not include an inclinometer or
Sondes (radio locator system) as required by the qid. Both of these systems are very
important and are material to the bid. An inclinometer is used to check that lines
without water in them (storm drains during the dry season or new sewer lines) do not
have sags and that lines have the proper rate of fall. The locator is used when the
exact location of a line or sewer entry point (manhole) are not known. In addition, the
lowest Aries bid did not include the type of van in the specifications and therefore the
alternative bid would be the bid considered.
Once 3-T and Aries were eliminated due to serious material deficiencies in their bids,
staff focused on Cues and Pearpoint. Cues is the manufacturer of the City's current
system. Our current Cues system is a single conductor rather than a multi-conductor
system. Cues now makes both single and multi-conductor systems and bid a multi-
conductor system as required in the specifications. Cues' transporter (the powered
machine that carries the camera in the sewer pipe) is a tracked system with treads
rather than wheels as required in the City's specifications. Staff specified wheels
rather than treads because of our experience with operational and maintenance
problems with our current system which has treads. Cues has, within the last year,
~ /d---/O
Page 3, Item___
Meeting Date 09/23/97
introduced a new transporter that they call the "Shorty". This system is also a tracked
system. They indicate that this transporter has several improvements over our older:
system:
o Because it is shorter, it is easier to maneuver in and out of sewer entry points
and in small 6 inch lines.
o The chain for the tracks (tread system) is now carbon steel as opposed to
stainless steel and will not stretch out of shape nearly as quickly as the old
one.
o The sprocket includes a formerly patented system that helps prevent it from
being clogged with grit and debris.
o The cleats on the chain are now riveted to the chain in two places instead of
just one, which helps them stay on longer.
o The extenders used to operate the transporter in different sized lines are
easier to change and help make the transporter more stable.
Unfortunately, the "Shorty" has not been on the market long enough to get meaningful
maintenance cost data.
The Deputy Director of Public Works/Operations requested additional demonstrations
from both Cues and Pearpoint to evaluate their systems. After those demonstrations,
consultation with sewer and GIS staff, and checking references, the Deputy Director
recommends that the City not accept the exception of a tracked system provided by
Cues, find that Pearpoint is the lowest responsive bidder (meaning that they met the
specifications) and award the contract to Pearpoint. The reasons for this are listed
below:
o During the Cues demonstration, staff believed that one of the lines to be
inspected was a 12 inch line and Cues set up the transporter accordingly. At
about the same point in the line, the transporter kept flipping over and had
to be retrieved. It was discovered that two of the screws that hold the chain
drive away from the transmission had come out and been chewed up by the
sprocket. The sprocket also lost three teeth. The transporter was also
switched to the configuration for a 10 inch line (which turned out to be the
size of the line). After that, the demonstration proceeded as planned. Cues
has indicated that having the transporter set up for 12 inch line placed the
center of gravity of the transporter and camera above the center line of the
pipe and caused the overturns. City staff isn't sure if it was that or the
problem with the sprocket and screws. This problem demonstrated one of
staff's concerns with tracked transporters. Because they have many more
moving parts than wheeled transporters, more can go wrong or break.
o During the demonstration, staff noted that the chain drive was very close to
the transmission casing and had scrape marks that indicated that the chain
was coming into contact with the housing. This could create problems in the
chain drive and may have lead to the problem with the screws coming out.
Cues has indicated that their normal practice (as is the City's) is to apply
LocTite to the screws so they don't come out accidentally.
o Discussions with references provided by both companies and other Cities'
personnel that Chula Vista staff knows indicates that Pearpoint's system may
be less expensive to maintain and not have as much down time. Staff
believes that over an eight to ten year period (the expected life of the
~ /~.-//
Page 4, Item___
Meeting Date 09/23/97
system), the lower maintenance costs and higher productivity will actually
make Pearpoint less expensive to own and operate. Whether it will be the
almost $25,000 difference in cost between the two is impossible to say.
As indicated above, after an extensive evaluation and bid analysis period, staff
recommends the Pearpoint system and believes that they are the lowest responsive
bidder.
Items that were not included in the bid were a notebook computer, a desk top
computer and a color printer. The Purchasing Agent and GIS staff indicated that it
would be more cost effective to purchase these items separately. Both computers will
be very powerful, graphics machines with high storage capacity and Iomega Jazz
drives so that the City's GIS maps can be loaded directly. The notebook will be used
for data collection and GIS integration in the field and the Desk top computer by
sewer supervisors and Department management to access both the new TV inspection
software and GIS. This will allow department management staff to use these systems
for both short and long range maintenance plaruling. None of the computers that
Public Works Operations currently has are powerful enough for these systems. The
printer is used to print reports and still pictures from inspections. Staff will order the
computers, printer, and software as separate purchases that will not require Council
approval. In addition, staff recommends an upgrade of the on board controller in the
van so that it is compatible with the City's GIS system. This will consist of an Iomega
Jazz drive, faster CPD, and larger hard drive. Also, since the Corporation Yard is not
on the network, staff will purchase an Iomega Jazz drive for the GIS section so that
GIS data can be transfered back and forth between GIS and the TV inspection
computers.
Another expense that was not originally contemplated is money to obtain original
stocks of non-warranty comnsumables such as light bulbs, Flexi-links, cable, rollers,
a-rings, and brushes. The division has $5,000 in their operating budget for
maintenance of the current system, but much of that $5,000 may be spent by the time
the new equipment is received. Staff believes.an additional $2,000 for original
stocking purposes of non warranty consumables is also required. If these funds are
appropriated, but not needed, they will not be spent.
ALTERNATIVE FUEL Although requested as an option, only one bidder, 3-T,
provided information on an alternative fuel vehicle. They pointed out that the need
for certification would delay the van by two years as the State is two years behind on
certification and would cost $6,500. In addition, the CNG fuel bottles would require
redesign of the interior workspaces and CNG would require a separate Diesel fuelesupply for the generator. For these reasons, staff recommends against a CNG vehicle.

Meeting Date 09/23/97
FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 1997-98 Equipment Replacement budget includes
$143,540 for replacement of the City's sewer TV inspection system and van. Staff
knew that the total cost of the new system would be higher (but did not know the
exact cost), but the $143,540 is the amount that the Sewer fund has put into the
Equipment Replacement Fund for replacement of the current van and TV system over
the years. Since staff was uncertain of the total amount required and believed it
would be appropriate for one of the Sewer funds (as opposed to Equipment
Replacement) to make up the difference, the intent was to request whatever additional
appropriation might be required at the time the contract was awarded by Council.
The cost of the bid by Pearpoint including sales tax is $156,230. The cost of upgrading
the on board controller in the van is $1,560, therefore the entire contract amount to
Pearpoint is $157,790. An additional $16,290 will be required for the computers,
printer, and software. Staff also recommends an additional $2,000 for original
stocking of consumables.. Therefore, the total cost of the entire system is $176,080.
This will require an additional appropriation of $32,540 from Sewer Fund 221, Sale of
Excess Capacity. It is recommended that the additional appropriation be made to the
following accounts: $14,250 for the additional funds for the Pearpoint Equipment to
the Equipment Replacement Fund, Account 705-7050-5565; $16,290 for the
computers, software, and printer to Account 100-1460-5566; and $2,000 for the
consumables to Account 100-1460-5368. All subsequent maintenance and operation
costs will be funded by the Sewer Service Fund.

. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SINGLE CONDUCTOR AND MULTI-CONDUCTOR
SEWER TV SYSTEMS
c:\ WlNWORD\BUDGET\Al13Swrv.DOC
~ ItJ-1}
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SINGLE CONDUCTOR AND MULTI-CONDUCTOR
SEWER TV SYSTEMS
Single and multi-conductor refers to the number of wires within the cable that
connects the transporter and TV camera to the control unit in the sewer van. Since
every electrical circuit needs two wires to complete the circuit, a single conductor
system actually has at least two wires, one larger one to carry power and control
signals to the transporter, camera, and lights and a smaller one to complete the circuit
and carry signals back to the control unit. A multi-conductor system has separate
pairs of wires for power to the transporter, camera, and lights and other pairs for the
control circuits for those same systems.
In a single conductor system, all of the power to drive the transporter, camera, and
lights travels along one large wire to the transporter. The transporter is the wheeled
or tracked device that carries the TV camera and lights along the sewer or storm drain
line being inspected. When the power reaches the transporter, it enters a power
supply box that splits the power to the transporter, camera, and lights as appropriate.
Because all of the power for all three devices is combined, this means a lot of voltage
is traveling down the one wire. In addition, because of Ohms law of resistance, the
power level has to be set high enough to overcome the resistance of the line at long
runs of up to 1,000 feet. This is also true for multi-conductor systems, but because
the voltage is split and not as high to start with, much less voltage is traveling down
anyone wire. The same wire also carries control commands using frequency
modulation. Because all of the power and control commands come into the power
supply and are then distributed to the appropriate device, it is often difficult to
diagnose problems when they do occur. For example, the camera may stop
functioning properly. Because all the power and the control signals are being
distributed by the power supply, it is difficult to determine exactly what needs to be
done to fix the unit.
A multi- conductor system, on the other hand, bas separate power and control signals
on separate wires to the transporter. When these power and control signals reach the
transporter, they enter and are sent to their devices on separate circuits. This makes
it much easier to diagnose problems in the field. If the lights don't work, but
everything else does, it's clear that the problem is somewhere in the lighting system.
In addition, because the control signals are not carried in the power wires, they can be
simple electrical signals and not FM signals. This makes them much less susceptible
to getting slightly out of synch and creating problems. Our experience with our
current single conductor system and its associated problems caused us to specify a
multi-conductor system. Cues, the manufacturer of our current system, sells both
single and multi-conductor systems. In the past, 60% of the systems they sold were
multi-conductor, whereas 99% of its current sales are multi-conductor. Staff believes
that the shift reflects the growing awareness of the problems inherent in single
conductor systems.

Position Paper ~ Single Conductor vs Multi~collductor.
I recently received a cal1 from a potential customer inquiring about Multi-conductor cable for Video
PipeJine Inspection. This person sincerely stated that he wanted the latest in technology which he was
told was multi-conductor.
Sometimes I find myselffrustrated that sales people make these statements to customers. Both
multi-conductor and single conductor work. Each has advantages and trade offs. But we never say
"isn't our TV cable company great because it has wires for each channel?" No, modern cable
technology uses a single piece of coax cable to run over 110 TV channels, multiple radio channels,
digital feeds and can carry information back from the customer to the cable company.
I designed and installed a computer network for our company. We now have over 30 work stations,
each talking to the server and each other. All on one piece of coax cable. Obviously needing many
wires to carry different information is a thing of the past or "low technology". A definition of low
technology is "not the latest teclmology".
Above, I stated each system has its advantages. Multi-conductor allows more electric current to travel
, down the line because many heavy wires are used, The trade off is weight and friction. Larger cable
meahs more surface and more friction. Lighter, stronger (5600 Ibs pulling strength) armored single
conductor cable weighs less and takes less power to pull. With multi-conductor, the extra current
available is used up by pulling a heavier weight. Try dragging several hundred feet of 1/4" rope and
then ~ompare that to dragging the same amount of 1/2" rope. The difference in drag massive.
.
So, how do the engineers make single condutor work for a video inspection system? To answer that,
let's look at the common AM radio
An inexpensive AM radio has to be able to select a radio station iTom millions ofiTequencies. You
can be listening to a station at 680khz on the dial and on another radio tune in 1050khz. The radio
"tunes" to a single station and all the other stations do not interfere. Ifwe had to have a different
radio to select each station, I think that might be considered IQW lech. Therefore if we need many
wires to carry information and power to camera and tractor equipment, we must be luw lech.
Just like radio, television and computer networks - camera power, control signals, ,'ideo
information IInd data caD easily be carried on the same 11'0111, without one interfering with the
other.
Another silyipg I Lear is that multi.coi:rluctvr i> easier to service. "If my ligh~'5 dedt '.York I know

Single conductor manufacturers have the engineering skills to change the raw video into a radio type
signal which can travel over 2500 feet without deterioration. A little more complicated for the design
engineer, but easier ror the user to troubleshoot and repair.
Another item is ease of repair. Those experienced in video inspection reali;i!:c we cannot always have
clean, perfect pipe to inspect. In fact, if the pipe was all clean and perfect, why would we need it
inspected. We sometimes have to send our equipment into damaged areas where it can get stuck, bent
and worn. Having a steel outer wrap on the coa.x keeps sharp edges from damaging the cable as
happens with a soft outer jacket Sometimes connectors will have to be changed. A single conductor
connector change in the field rarely takes morc than 30 minutes for even the most inexperienced user.
Do not forget another definition of high tech, Engineered to be simpler for the user.
Summary is easy. Single conductor is stronger, easier to service and uses the latest technology.

SINGLE CONDUCTOR VS MULTI.cONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY
BY ROD SL"TLIFF. CEO
PAGE I OF 2
MAY 6, 1997
Single Conductor Technology versus Multi-Conductor Technology
Single conductor systems have always been considered the cutting edge, or "Cadillac" of
pipe inspection television equipment for the following reasons:
The cable is sma11er normally 1/4' in diameter and stronger than any of the reinforced
multi-conductor cable. Single conductor cable has breaking strength of5,600 lb. The
typical multi-conductor cable has a breaking strength of 2,000 lb. or less.
The single conductor is simple to maintain and end connectors can be replaced in a matter
of minutes. Typically multi-conductor cable requires several hours of labor, and advanced
technical skills to splice multiple wires; typically ten or mOre.
The life expectancy of the single conductor cable has been proven to be at least t",ice that
of any multi-conductor cable. Not only does single conductor cable cost less initially, its
life expectancy is much longer, which saves the user substantial amounts of money. In the
event of catastrophic damage to the RST single conductor cable, the camera and
controller circuits automatically detect an overload and shut doivn instantaneously,
thereby preventing any damage to the camera or controller. Competitors touting multi-
conductor systems normally are unable to provide this k.ind of protection for their
equipment. Because of the high current lighting ",ires. in a combined cable with 10'"
voltage camera power and video sigual wires, full camera and controller protection is
nearly impossible.
People selling multj.conductor systems will tell you that single conductor technology
unnecessarily complicates the electronic circuits ",ithin the camera and tractor, and that
added sophistication of the electronic circuits is overcome by the use of multi-conductor
cable. In the current age of electronic technology. the reliability of any added circuitry is
far greater than the hassle of dealing v.ith the multi-conductor cable and its related
complications. Just think that at home you had to run one coaxial cable to your TV set
for each channel you wanted to view. This is the thinking of poop Ie who tout multi-
conductor over single conductor.

THE RST OMNI-EYE CAMERA
The RST Onmi-Eye Camera is considered the premium pan and tilt camera because of its
proven superior performance by thousands of users. The Omni-Eye II camera includes
features not offered by any other competitor.
1- Over 1,000 lumens of light radiated &om the head which tracks the viewing lens at
all times.
2- An all stainless steel precision gear tram provides head .swing and rotation
functions.
3- The head is fully suspended on precision ball bearings for smooth operation and
long life expectancy.
4- Special high-tech seals are provided on both axes. These seals are designed to
withstand pressures of 100 psi.
5- The camera circuitry is built using the latest surface moont technology to
withstand the rigorous environment the camera will experience.
6- The camera incorporates a fully-isolated synchronized switching power supply
which completely isolates and protects camera circuitry from external power
surges.
7- The above mentioned power supply also provides fully regulated and limited
power to the camera lighting making it impossible for the system operator to
damage the lighting or camera circuits. An on-screen red bar alerts the operator
that the voltage setting is too high.
8- An internal color bar calibration generator is provided mld can be turned on by the
operator for system color calibration at any time.
9- The RST single conductors camera will withstand the application of 140 volts to
any active connector pin without danJage to the internal camera circuits.
10- An added advantage with the RST single conductor system is that since there is
only one wire and its return shield, trouble-shooting and repair in the field is
greatly simplified.
The consumer, by comparing these features with any multi-conductor camera offered by
others, when considering a purchase, will find that the multi-conductor camera does not
meet the rigid expectations RST requires. The RST camera system provides vastly
superior technical and design features of electronic circuitry, anrl simplicity in operation.
and repair and trouble-shooting.
Because of the advanced features and system longevity, the RSr system may be slightly
higher in price, initially, when compared with some multi-condlli.'tor units, buyers looking
only at price may be misled by initial purchase price, Maintenance for multi-conductor
systems quickly east up the small sayings that are sometimes seen at purchase. In the long
run the RST system has been proven to be the best economical choice by owners and
operators.

SAFE. SINGLE CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY
Single conductor is a term which refers to the cable design used to connect the inspection
camera and accessories to the control system. The central core of single conductor cable
is constructed by wrapping copper strands around a single insulated wire. A plastic jacket
is then extruded over this coaxial cable. Two layers of galvanized wire are contrahelically
wrapped for strength, protection and grounding of the inner core.
This produces a 1/4" cable with a braking strength of over 5,4000 pounds, which
is capable of delivering over thirty TV stations to its viewers simultaneously. Though only
one TV picture is being viewed when working with single conductor pipeline inspection
cameras, the cable conductor is multi-tasked to deliver power (DC voltage), control
signals to the camera, operate a transport vehicle or rotating camera and to light the
subject matter.
Because safety is an issue, it is important to know that the 80-120 volts needed to
perform these functions is applied only to the center conductor. wire. There are three
metallic layers and two insulation layers to cut through before an operator comes in
contact with he voltage. This makes single conductor cable far safer than any other
commercial heavy-duty extension cord. The camera and accessories are connected via a
three-pin connection. Two pins provide a double ground.
Single cQnductor cable, originally used with black/white systems, has been in use in
the U.S. since approximately 1972. when color monitors were introduced, single
conductor suffered a setback until technology improved camera sensitivity and lighting
techniques. Today's higWy efficient electronic controls for pulling and sensitive systems
are enhanced by the properties of single conductor cable (size, ruggedness, and light
weight.) have proven higWy beneficial to inspection system operators, and do not
compromise picture quality. Even more importantly, however, of the hundreds of systems
in the field, we were unable to locate anyone who know of any injuries sustained ITom
electric shock as the result of single conductor use.

Single conductor versus other types of cable.
The fact, the myth, and the DANGER!
Weare often asked to quote on television
inspection systems which use a "single
conductor" cable instead of a "multi-
conductor" cable. The benefits of the sin-
gle conductor system are preswned to be a lower cable
cost and longer cable life. The illusion that is created
in the mind of the customer is literally one of a single
copper conductor versus 15 or 20 wires in a bundle
which is heavy, bulky, and costly. The latter was pos-
sibly true in the early days of pipeline inspection equip-
ment. It is not the case today.
Generally, only four wires are required to ac-
complish the task of powering the camera in a safe
dov' 01 U... ,10,1.. cooduclo,
'V,I... 0'" 001 oy..,
manner The single conductor cable has at least two
conductors and, in many cases, three.
Most sixth graders know electricity has to have
a completed circuit comprising a supply and return.
How many one-pin batteries have you seen? In other
words, the cable forms a "coax" or a "triax".
With the advent of tractors or transporters that
actually work, it is possible to reduce setup and sur-
veying times to a fraction of previous requirements.
The use of such equipment adds substantially to the
productivity of the organization. However, it is neces-
sary to provide a power and control source. We have
actually seen a single conductor system supplied with a
separate cable to power the tractor!
The days of single conductor systems are not
over - not just because they cannot efficiently support
new techniques for improved productivity but, primar-
ily, for safety reasons. Increased OSHA power sug-
gests that high voltage levels needed to supply equip-
ment could represent a safety hazard in its own right.
/?l/29
A recent specification from a city called for a
single conductor cable system with a power supply to
the camera and lightheads capable of providing
240 volts DC. We believe that this level of voltage on
site could be lethal' The problem lies in the high res is-

tance of the very small conductors used in these single
conductor cables.
One of the smallest cables used by certain manu-
facturers has, for instance, a loop resistance of
16.2 ohms for 1000 feet; 32.4 ohms for 2000 feet, If the
camera worked on 24 volts and there was, for instance,
100 watts of lighting, we would draw 5 amps of power
through the cable. If the system had 2000 feet of cable,
commonly specified, the voltage drop across the cable
would be calculated by multiplying resistance by current.
(In the case of this example, 32.4 x 5 = 162 volts.)
Therefore, to obtain the 24 volts required to
power the camera and lights, we have to add 162 volts
(cable loss) to the 24 volts required to power the camera.
This equals 186 volts. If the bulb blows the voltage

present at the camera down the pipe, it is certainly
enough to kill someone.
When inspecting larger pipes, which require
more illumination hence larger lamps, the voltage present
at the camera and down the cable could increase to a
staggering 348 volts for 200 watts oflighting! Consider
the potential risk to the operator and your organization.

It ha.<; already been stated that single conductor
systems have more than one conductor and, as such,
are actually multi-conductor systems. Pearpoint manu-
factures state-of-the-art products where the cable re-
quirements are reduced a minimum safe level.
Pearpoint uses the same two conductors to
supply the camera and the lighting. The sensitivity of
the camera is adjusted by the superior method of utiliz-
ing an iris in the lens instead of just varying the light-
ing. This has the additional benefit of improving the
"depth of field"; a term usually associated with photog-
'.arpolnt IlJ/t~ml .1. onllJ
fo.r co.d.ctotl
raphy. It means that more of the subject in view is in
sharp focus contributing to the fine detail seen on Pear-
point systems.
Two additional conductors are used for trans-
mitting the video back to the monitor and sending com-
mands such as focus, iris, scan, and tractor speed in-
formation to the camera in the pipe. The same two
conductors are used to send other information back to
the surface such as inclinometer angle, roll angle, packer
pressure, and compass heading.
A multi-conductor Pearpoint system uses only
four conductors to achieve the same results as a single
thll t.chniq.~ r~d.c~1 th~
pOlllbilltlj of .I~ctrlc Ihock
conductor system with two of three conductors but in a
safe way. For safety reasons, Pearpoint incorporates a
"drain wire" in their cables. This ensures an earth bond
between the inspectlOn vehicle and the in-pipe TV sys-
tem. The bond ensures that any metal on the camera is
always at the same voltage potential as the inspection
truck; something that is nearly impossible to accomplish
with a single conductor system.
This technique reduces the possibility of electric
shock and greatly adds to the safety factor of the Pear-
point system. When a tractor is used, two additional con-
ductors are utilized. After all, isn't it better to incorpo-
rate the conductors in the cable rather than strap them to
the outside of a so-called "single conductor" system?
I hope this information sheet clarifies the differences between the systems and
the safety hazards associated with certain types of equipment. For further
information on Pearpoint inspection products please call us at the address below.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item I)
Meeting o"t.. 1 O/21/rr7
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing
To consider adoption of City Council Priorities
SUBMITTED BY:
City Manager g
Budget Manage~ ~
Public Information CoordinatLr
(4/5ths Vote: Yes _ Nol)
REVIEWED BY:
The City Council previously had work sessions to discuss and develop city-wide priorities. On
September 11, 1997, City Council completed a final review of the priorities and identified seven
city-wide priorities. This meeting is scheduled to allow the public to provide comment and input
to the City Council regarding their proposed top seven priorities. A second hearing is scheduled
for the next City Council meeting (October 28, 1997) to complete public testimony and then
formally adopt the priorities.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the public hearing, take testimony on the seven
priorities, continue the public hearing to October 28,1997 where further testimony may be
received and then to formally adopt the seven city-wide priorities at the meeting on October 28,
1997.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council has had several work sessions to discuss the development of city-wide priorities.
A list was identified of approximately 63 goals and sub-goals that the City Council believed to be
the highest priority for completion. At the fmal work session each Council member selected their
top 8 goals and from those selections the final 7 were identified.
Through this process a total of six major goal areas were identified with sub-goals under each of
these major headings. (See Attachment I) From this total list of approximately 63 different goals
or projects, each Council member selected their top 8 priorities. By matching those selections
Council identified 7 projects or goals which they agreed were the highest priority.
The top seven (7) priorities identified are Bayfront, Downtown Revitalization, Broadway
Revitalization, Otay Valley, Educational Center/Environmental Institute, SR-125 and Revenue
Enhancement.

A brief description of each of these follows:
RJlyfront
Continue the redevelopment and replanning of the Bayfront Project Area to encourage and
facilitate quality visitor-serving commercial, recreational and residential development for the
undeveloped coastal related properties west of 1-5 between SR-54 and "L" Street. The
redevelopment and replanning efforts are to include furthering the joint planning process with the
San Diego Port Commission toward the collective goal of expanding the Bayfront Project Area
boundaries to include the Port District properties adjacent to the Chula Vista Marina, extending
"R" Street westerly to Marina Parkway and establishing the Chula Vista Bayfront as a resort
destination.
Ot~y V~l1ey
Continue the redevelopment and replanning of the Otay Valley Road Project Area to encourage
and facilitate quality commercial, entertainment, recreation and industrial development along the
Otay Valley Road corridor between I-80S and the eastern and southern City limits. The
redevelopment and replanning efforts are to capitalize and expand on the opportunities created by
the Auto Park, MCA Amphitheater and White Water Canyon projects toward the goal of
improving the image and character of the area.
Third A venne - Downtown
Continue the revitalization of the Town Centre I Downtown District along Third Avenue from "E"
to "I" Street by encouraging and facilitating quality infill commercial and office development as
well as attracting quality commercial tenants. The revitalization efforts are to include continued
marketing, leasing, and image enhancement programs with the Downtown Business Association
toward the goal of re-establishing the Downtown as the commercial-civic focus of the City.
Rro~tiw~y Revit~1i7"tion
Implement a focused revitalization effort along the Broadway commercial corridor to impede the
proliferation of blighting influences and encourage quality commercial/retail development. The
revitalization effort should include coordination with the Broadway Business Association and
further the progress made with the Palomar Trolley Center, the auto dealership relocations, and
the completed Broadway Street improvements.

Hif:her F.rlllcation renter/Environmental Scien('.p.~ Tn~titllte
Continue to advance the planning for a "Higher Education Center and Environmental Sciences
Institute" concept to involve the establishment of a single campus which would house academic
programs from San Diego State University, University of California at San Diego, and
Southwestern Co1lege with emphasis in the areas of high technology and biotechnology, as we1l
as environmental research and commerce. The planning efforts should include further definition
of organizational structure, academic and research focus, as we1l as siting and financial issues.
SR-1?'i
Continue to support the construction of a Freeway/To1lroad to serve the eastern area north south
traffic movement. The facility will be a 6 to 10 lane divided and contro1led access highway built
to freeway standards beginning at I-90S in Otay Mesa and traversing north to SR-54. The project
has regional funding in the amount of $70 million (approx) to pay for the San Miguel Connector
(between SR-54 and San Miguel Rd.) It is important to keep political interest and support for the
funding with State, Federal, and local elected officials.
Improve rity Revenlle~ Ra~
Continue to focus on increasing the revenue base for basic City services, actively participate in
lobbying efforts to "return" funds taken from the State, limit the use of one-time revenue sources,
make progress toward the Council goal of an 8 % reserve, and generally ensure an improvement
in the City's long term financial stability.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Since it is Council's intent to have their priorities confirmed by the community, the proposed
goals are being approved over two Council sessions at a public hearing. In order to inform
residents about the City Council's seven top priorities for the City and gamer public input, prior
to this meeting staff has taken the fo1lowing actions:
. Press Release: A press release was issued describing the seven priorities and publicizing
these meetings. It was distributed to the media serving Chula Vista as we1l as the
Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business Association (DBA), Broadway Business
Association (BBA) and Bonita Business & Professional Association (BB&PA).
. Information notice on televised Council meetings: A short information notice was run
about the priorities and the opportunity for public input at these meetings as part of the
City Council meetings of Oct. 7 and 14 which were televised on Cox Communications and
Chula Vista Cable.
/F3
Page 4, Item
Meeting Date Ion 1 fQ7
. "Chula Vista Quarterly": A story is planned for the next edition of the City's newsletter
which will be published in late December/early January. This newsletter reaches virtually
every household and business in the City. (Approximately 26,000 are mailed to Laidlaw
single-family household customers and another 31,000 are directly mailed to multi-family
dwelling units and businesses.)
Ae!e!itional Options
If the Council would like to take additional steps to publicize these priorities and/or to gain further
community input, any or all of the following could be taken:
1. SeTVke C.ll1h presentation.: The Mayor and/or City Council members could be scheduled
to give presentations to the major service organizations in Chula Vista including Rotary,
Optimists and Kiwanis clubs. This could be accomplished with no additional budget costs.
2. Pllhlic.ity in other new.lette..: A press release could be submitted to other community
organizations for publication in their newsletters including the Rancho del Rey and
EastLake developments. (The Chamber, DBA, BBA and BB&PA have already received
the release.) This could be accomplished at no additional costs.
3. Hoare! ane! C.ommi..ion memhe..: The Council could send a letter to each City board and
commission detailing the identified priorities and asking each group to provide any input
regarding these priorities to the Council. This could be accomplished at no additional
budget costs.
4. C.ity weh .ite: Information about the priorities could be placed on the city's web site and
any resident input could be E-mailed to the Mayor and Council. This could be
accomplished at no additional cost.
5. E4rer: A flyer summarizing the Council's seven priorities could be developed and placed
in the City's libraries, counters at City Hall and in other City facilities. This flyer could
be designed with a section for community input. This could be accomplished at no
additional budget costs.
6. SIITVey: A mail or phone survey could be taken of local residents to gain their input
regarding the City's top priorities. This could not be accomplished with existing staff and
depending on the method used and the size of the sample, could result in additional budget
costs ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. Staff recommends that if a citizen survey is
authorized that it also be designed to attain input regarding a broad range of City services.
Because of budget cutbacks in the past several years, a formal citizen survey has not been
conducted by the City since the late 1980s.

ONGOING PROCESS
The process recently completed by the City Council provided valuable direction to staff to
establish a better plan for achieving these identified priorities. This direction will allow staff
resources and time priorities to be focused on these main projects. All remaining projects on the
list will be worked on within existing time and staffing constraints.
In order to provide regular feedback to the Council on the status of these seven priorities and all
other Council identified priorities, it is recommended that a semi-annual review be incorporated
into the budget process.
Annm~1 Prinrit1p.~ Wnrk~hnp
Since the Council has identified the need for one workshop per month, it would be recommended
that the September workshop be set aside for an annual review of the Council's priorities. This
would set the tone, clarify any changing priorities to work plans so that they can then be
incorporated into the beginning phase of the budget process. By having Council's direction and
input prior to the department's budget development, it will ensure that the budget is prepared with
that input in mind rather than adjusted later as a result of Council feedback.
Hl1cifP.t Rf'vlPW Work ~p.s.s:inns.
In addition to the annual workshop, it is critical that the priorities actually appear as part of the
budget document. One way to do this, which fits well within the new budget format, is to
incorporate these priorities into the "goals" of the City Council as listed with the Council's budget.
Since "goals" are general in nature, these broad priorities would fit into the current structure very
well. During the budget review work sessions in May, the Council may then take another look
at the priorities and revise them as necessary.
These two review periods will provide for semi-annual review of Council's priorities and
incorporation of those priorities into the budget process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The semi-annual review of the City Council's priorities will not create additional direct costs. If
the Council desires to implement any of the additional options for public input, those costs
identified would need to be included in the budget.
In order to accomplish these proposed priorities, it may be necessary to reduce the prioritization
of other projects or reallocate staff and other resources. Implementation plans and budgets to
accomplish these priorities have yet to be developed by the impacted departments. Such items will
be brought back to Council as appropriate, either within the current fiscal year or as part of the
workshop process for the 1998-99 budget.

Public Hearing - To consider adoption of City Council Priorities, October 21, 1997
John Willett, 97 Montebello Street, Chula Vista, CA., 91910
Mayor Horton and council members, thank you for the opportunity to
comment on the adoption of City Council Priorities
First, my complements to staff for preparing a comprehensive presentation on establishing city-
wide priority goals and sub-goals.
During a Council Work Shop on January 9, 1997 discussing, "Establishing Chula Vista Council
Priorities", the City Manager presented a list of 11 general categories of project operations for a
total of 83 items of which 56 were considered priority #1, 19 were priority #2 and 8 were priority
#3. In addition, the City Manager listed 8 goals posted on the wall broken down into some 31
sub-goals.
Although not mentioned during the presentations here tonight, 1 believe the public should be made
aware of the fact of that some the six major goals discussed here tonight were not only presented
during the January 1997 Council Work Shop, but were discussed during the Chula Vista 2000
Task Force, who's function was to develop a plan for the city's future (Summary Report produced
in April 1990) and the subsequent Chula Vista 21 Committee, whose report was published a year
later.
The long term value of the goals presented here tonight will demand the full commitment of the city
council to provide leadership and direction, while others will demand public I private partnership
co-operation.
While I support the effort that has been expended to identify goal priority's, which are basically
increasing the economics of the city, very little or no mention has been made to improving the
"Montgomery Area".
Thank you for the opportunity to speak before you.
Repectfully,
~1h1ff.U.

PUBLIC HEARING: REGARDING ISSUANCE OF MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE
REFUNDING BONDS
RESOLUTION J JY7 5'..2. AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF MULTI-FAMILY
HOUSING REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS (EUCALYPTUS GROVE APARTMENTS),
SERIES 1997 AND APPROVING CERTAIN ACTIONS RElATED THERETO
Community Development Dir:f\ (.S .
City Manager0Gi ~~') (4/5ths Vote: Yesl No_I
On August 6, 1985, the City Council approved Resolution 12123 authorizing the sale of not-to-exceed $24
million principal amount of multi-family housing revenue bonds (Eucalyptus Grove Project) 1985 Series. The
actual bond was issued for $21,885,000, which enabled the developer, Morgan-Gardner Subdivision, to build
the 376 unit multi-family housing complex at 67 East Flower Street in Chula Vista. In March 1996, the
property was sold to Eucalyptus Grove Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Wasatch Property Management, who
is based in Logan, Utah, at which time the project was transferred to it.
The current credit enhancement term for the City issued revenue bond terminates on November 15, 1997.
The owner was unable to obtain an extension of the credit enhancement. thus the bonds will be redeemed
on November 3, 1997 unless a refinancing occurs. To refinance the project, the owner negotiated with
General Electric Capital Corporation to buy refunding tax exempt bonds, based on the assumption the City
will be willing to issue the bonds. Under the Trust Agreement (the document by which the 1985 bonds
were issued and conditions set forth between the City, Issuer, and First Trust of California National
Association, the Trustee), the bonds are due on November 1, 1997. November 1, 1997 is a Saturday thus
the deadline is automatically carried over to Monday, November 3, 1997. Because the refinancing will
benefit the project economically, the owner is seeking Council's approval to issue refunding bonds.
At this time the currently outstanding $19,615,000 of multi-family housing bonds on the property will be
redeemed on November 3, 1997. Because of this upcoming redemption, Wasatch Property Management has
asked the City to issue bonds in the amount of $18,300,000, reflecting a difference of $1,315,000 from
the amount redeemed because Wasatch is taking a portion of the debt service reserve fund to reduce the
principal. The reissuance must occur by November 3, 1997, thus this item is time sensitive. This is the
earliest we could present this item to Council because of the extensive negotiations involved and time
required to prepare the documents.
/.2 - /
Page 2, Item _
Meeting Date 10/21/97
A Public Hearing is required by the Internal Revenue Code in order to authorize the issuance of the refunding
bonds and Council must also adopt a resolution to authorize the execution of the necessary documents. The
major documents under consideration are the Trust Indenture, the loan Agreement and the new Regulatory
Agreement. The Trust Indenture sets forth the terms of the bonds. The Loan Agreement sets the terms
upon which the borrower receives the money. The Regulatory Agreement sets forth the affordability
conditions. These bonds are going to be purchased by General Electric Capital Corporation on a private
placement basis and are not being sold to the public at this time. The bonds will be unrated.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council adopt the resolution to authorize the issuance of multi-family
housing revenue refunding bonds (Eucalyptus Grove Apartments), Series 1997 and approve certain actions
related thereto.
BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On September 24, 1997, the Housing Advisory
Committee voiced their support for the reissuance of the bonds if the affordability level of the rents were
negotiated down to the HUD Fair Market Rents.
DISCUSSION:
The use of the City's tax.exempt status to issue bonds to developers of multi-family rental housing
represents an attempt to improve the availability and affordability of rental housing in Chula Vista. Such
bonds are a form of public-private partnership which gains importance as federal housing programs diminish
and development costs make low income housing development problematical. In the City's Housing Element
of the General Plan, the Affordable Housing Program designed to enhance Chula Vista' housing opportunities
declares that, "Where practical, the City shall consider the use of tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds for
the purpose of underwriting a portion of the cost of low and moderate income housing." Used appropriately
in pursuit of public good, tax-exempt multi-family bonds represent a tool to achieve such underwriting;
underwriting made necessary by the gap between market rental rates and development costs.
In order for a multi-family housing bond to attain and sustain federal tax-exempt status, the projects in the
issue must meet certain federal requirements pertaining to the inclusion of low and moderate-income tenancy
and the preservation of the project units as rentals. This tax-exempt instrument represents a subsidy to
the development community, a subsidy from the federal treasury as a result of reduced tax revenues.
Because that subsidy is a giving of public funds, the federal regulations address the provision of public good.
It balances the need to make the subsidy effective and to deliver public benefit.
Chanoes in Rent Restrictions
For bonds that were originally issued before 1986, the minimum required public benefit is that 20% of the
project's units be restricted to occupancy by low income households, defined as those with annual household
incomes at or below 80% of area median income. This federal regulation does not address the need to
restrict rents on these units, rather the only restriction is on who can rent the units. This perhaps was an
);2 -.7-
Page 3. Item _
Meeting Date 10/21197
oversight of the policy makers. Most jurisdictions have imposed rent restrictions on the 20% of income
restricted units as well.
In our 1985 Eucalyptus Grove issuance, the City of Chula Vista required that the 20% of income restricted
units also have a rent restriction defined at 25% of 80% of area median income based on the assumed
household count of one person for the studios, two persons for the one bedrooms, and four persons for the
two bedrooms. This meant that 75 units (20% of the total 376 units) be restricted to families who earn
80% or less of the area median income at the following mix and rent levels for 1997:
9
39
27
Studio
1.Bedroom
2.Bedroom
$566.67
$647.92
$810.41
Also in 1985, the City of Chula Vista had put income and rent restrictions on another 5% of the total units
(19 units) to be occupied by moderate income households, defined as not to exceed 120% of the area
median income, at 25% of the 120% in the following mix:
3
10
6
Studio
1-Bedroom
2.Bedroom
$850.00
$971.87
$1,214.58
In 1985, the total restricted units were 25%, or 94 units, for low and moderate income families combined,
which put us in compliance with the State Density Bonus Law at that time. With the proposed reissuance,
the City of Chula Vista has the opportunity to renegotiate these rent restrictions. However, the federal
requirement that 20% of the units be occupied by low income families (without defining rent levels or
affordability) must still be met. Staff's desire is to go beyond these minimum requirements and get even
lower rents and to apply the affordability restriction to a greater number of larger units than the current
Regulatory Agreement requires.
According to the San Diego County Apartment Association, the average rental rates in the City of Chula
Vista and Bonita are as follows:
Studio
1-Bedroom
2-Bedroom
CHULA VISTA
$493
$510
$628
BONITA
Not available
$668
$782
Compared to the 1997 market rate rents noted for Chula Vista and Bonita, the restricted rents for
Eucalyptus Grove are currently at market rate and above. As the median incomes have increased and the
real estate market has dropped, the 25% of 80% formula has become less reliable as a measure of
affordability. In addition, the moderate income unit restrictions, set at 25% of 120% of AMI were not
/.,,2 -3
Page 4. Item _
Meeting Date 10/21/97
serving the City well in giving any affordability beyond market rents and are not as needed as are the low
income units. For these reasons, staff has negotiated with the owner to reset the terms on restricted units
to better reflect a public benefit in today's economy.
Staff is recommending to restrict 11.4% of the units, 43 two bedrooms, to a rent level equal to or below
HUD published Fair Market Rents (FMR's), which are currently at $682 for a two bedroom. This gives the
City the maximum number of the largest size units Eucalyptus Grove has available that the owner is willing
to restrict at this level. Staff feels the FMR's are a better measuring tool to use than the formulas by
which to restrict rents. The FMR's are calculated at 40% of the market rate rents. For San Diego
County, the current FMR's are equivalent to 27% of 60% of area median income. Since FMR's set Section
8 rents and are a standard used for other programs, staff recommends to apply them to this project. Staff
believes that the larger units should be restricted in order to meet the need of families as opposed to the
smaller units. Thus staff is recommending, with the owner's approval, to restrict 43 two bedrooms at the
FMR's. The new Regulatory Agreement will contain new rent limits and will amend the Housing Cooperation
Agreement to be consistent with the new rent levels.
For rents that could be increasing due to this change, 49 one bedrooms and 12 studios that are currently
restricted at 25% of 80% of area median income are proposed to have the increases to market rate phased
in over the next three years. Upon execution of the new bonds, a fifty dollar increase would be allowed,
then, on the anniversary thereof for the next three years, a maximum of $50 would be allowed, as described
below.

Bond Fees and Other Neootiated Terms
The 1985 rent restrictions were contracted for the longer of 10 years after the date on which at least 188
of the dwelling units on the Real Property were first occupied or the life of the bond, which matures on
November 1, 2007. The City is able to renegotiate the term of our rent restrictions at the time of
reissuance. Staff is recommending to set the term for the rent restrictions on 43 two bedrooms at the
longer of 15 years or the life of the bonds, which are expected to be paid off before they mature in 30
years. For example, if the bonds are paid off in three years, the 43 units will remain restricted for 15
years. If the bonds are paid off in 18 years, the restrictions on the 43 units will terminate in the 18th year
when the bonds are paid off. The owner has agreed to this term.
Typical in bond deals are the payment to the issuer for an origination fee. The industry standard average
is for an amount between 1/8% .1/4% of the bond amount, which is equal to $22,875 . $45,750 for an
$18,300,000 bond. If the owner decided to have the State, California Statewide Communities Development
Authority, issue/reissue the bonds instead of the City, the origination fee for an A rated bond between
$15,000,000 and $20,000,000 would be a set $42,500. Staff is recommending the origination fee be
$45,750, which is 1/4% of the proposed $18,300,000 bond reissuance, at the maximum industry standard.
The owner has agreed to this amount.
Also typical are annual payments for administrative fees to the entity that will be monitoring the project
for Regulation Agreement Compliance. The industry standard average is 1/8% of the bond amount, equal to
12 basis points or $22,875 a year. If the owner decided to have the State issue/reissue the bonds instead
of the City, the administrative fee would be 1/4% of the bond amount, equal to 25 basis points or $45,750
a year. For an administrative fee greater than 12 basis points, the issuer has to prove to the Internal
Revenue Service the expense of monitoring the contract requires the higher fee. Staff is recommending the
administrative fee be 1/10% of the $18,300,000 bond, equal to 10 basis points or $18,300 a year slightly
lower than the industry standard. This will be payable quarterly in arrears. Over fifteen years the
cumulative total is $274,500. Staff was willing to take a lower than industry standard administrative fee
in exchange for more two bedroom units to be restricted. Staff feels the $18,300 a year will cover the
administrative costs of monitoring this project. The owner has agreed to this amount.
In addition, as a safety precaution, staff recommends that the City of Chula Vista have the approval and
termination rights over the developer's selection of the property management firm. The property
manager/owner, Wasatch Properties, has an impeccable record, always filing their required reports to the
City on time, keeping immaculate grounds, never a complaint by their tenants; however, if there is a change
of ownership or management, staff would like to have an influence in the oversight of the management.
Staff has felt frustrated by the inability to respond to tenants complaints at other properties that are tied
to a Housing Cooperation Agreement with the City because such a condition was not written into the
agreement. The owner has agreed to this request.

FISCAL IMPACT: All costs related to the issuance of an $18,300,000 bond is paid for from bond
proceeds or profits. The bonds will be secured by the project and repaid by Wasatch Property Management
and will not constitute a liability or obligation to the City. Some staff time costs will be associated with
monitoring compliance with the Housing Cooperation Agreement and Regulatory Agreement. Those costs will
be reimbursed from the annual administrative fee paid by the owner, which is $18,300 per year or
$274,500 total over the 15 year period. Also the owner will pay the City $45,750 up front as an
origination fee.

interest rate permitted by law. From and after the Mandatory Tender Date, the interest rate so

REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 6.1. Optional Redemption. Tlie Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the Developer,
in whole, but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date on or after November I, 2002, at a redemption
price, with respect to each Bond so called for redemption equal to the sum of (a) the outstanding Bond
Principal of such Bond, (b) accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (including, without limitation, any
Gross-Up Amount with respect to such Bond) to the date of redemption, (c) the Prepayment Premium,
if any, and (d) all other amounts due and payable to the Bondholder hereunder (collectively, the
"Redemption Price"), in each case with accrued Interest to the redemption date to be paid to the Registered
Owner of each Bond as of the Record Date.
The Developer may exercise such option by giving the Trustee and each GE Bondholder written
notice of such exercise, not less than fifteen (IS) days prior to the proposed redemption date. Any such
notice shall specify the date fixed for optional redemption and contain a certification by the Developer that
all conditions precedent to such optional redemption have been (or will be, as of the optional redemption
date) satisfied. The GE Bondholder shall deliver to the Trustee and to the Developer a written certificate
setting forth the amount of accrued Interest and Prepayment Premium, if any, that will be due and payable
as of the date fixed for optional redemption not less than five (5) days prior to the date set for such
optional redemption.
In addition to the Redemption Price, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the
acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds prior to November I, 2002, if, at any time thereafter, payment
is tendered in the amount necessary to satisfy the Developer Payment Obligations ("Unauthorized
Prepayment"), the same shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms of the Bonds and shall be deemed
to be an unauthorized voluntary prepayment thereunder, in which case such payment must include a
premium (the "Unauthorized Prepayment Premium") equal to the product of (i) ten percent (10%) of the
then unpaid Indenture Indebtedness, and (ii) the Unauthorized Prepayment Factor. No Unauthorized
Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable upon any redemption of the Bonds on or after November
1,2002.
On any date on which the Bonds are subject to optional redemption hereunder, the Bonds shall
be subject to purchase in lieu of redemption and remarketing as contemplated by Section 4.2 above, as
if such purchase in lieu of redemption date were a Mandatory Tender Date, based on a written election
of purchase in lieu of redemption delivered by the Developer to the Trustee and Remarketing Agent on
or prior to the scheduled optional redemption date. The purchase price for the Bonds purchased in lieu
of redemption shall equal the amount that would have been payable to the Holders of the Bonds had the
Bonds been optionally redeemed on the scheduled optional redemption date. On and after the date of such
remarketing, the Bonds shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Indenture as if they had been
remarketed on a Mandatory Tender Date.
Section 6.2. Mandatory Redemption.

with the Trustee sufficient funds to pay the Redemption Price of all Bonds so called for redemption on
the date of redemption and shall state further whether or not the Trustee has received such funds as of the
date of such notice.
Section 6.4. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to any redemption date, the Developer shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Bonds
to be redeemed on that date. Such money shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such Redemption Price and shall not be deemed to be part of the Trust Estate.
Section 6.5. Bonds Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as
aforesaid, the Bonds or portions thereof designated for redemption shall become due and payable on the
redemption date at the Redemption Price and from and after such date, unless the Issuer shall default in
the payment of the Redemption Price, such Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to bear Interest from and
after the redemption date (except for the Gross-Up Amount as provided in Section 4.6 hereof) whether
or not such Bonds are presented and surrendered for payment on such date. If any Bond or portion
thereof called for redemption is not so paid upon presentation and surrender thereof on the redemption
date, such Bond or portion thereof shall continue to bear Interest at the rate or rates provided for thereon
until paid and the Registered Owners thereof shall have all of the rights and be subject to the limitations
set forth in Sections 1l.2 through 1l.15 hereof. Upon surrender of the Bonds for redemption in

Redemption Price. Installments of Interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the
Registered Owners as of the relevant Record Dates, without surrender thereof, according to the terms of
the Bonds and the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof.
Section 6.6. Partial Redemption. In the event that a Bond subject to redemption pursuant to
this Article VI is in a denomination larger than an Authorized Denomination, all or a portion of such Bond
may be redeemed, but only in a principal amount such that the remaining principal amount of the Bond
not so redeemed shall be an Authorized Denomination. Upon surrender of any Bond for redemption in
part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the

institution of any such proceedings.

by this Article may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable
provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Article are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in the premises and to be limited to the

date of payment or the date fixed for redemption or the date fixed for such act, and no additional interest
shall accrue for the period after such date and prior to the date of payment.
Section 15.8. Governing Law. This Indenture shall be governed in all respects, including
validity, interpretation and effect, by, and shall be enforceable in accordance with, the laws of the State.

unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining portions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired. In case any covenant, stipulation, obligation or agreement contained in the Bonds

stipulation, obligation or agreement shall be deemed to be the covenant, stipulation, obligation or
agreement of the Issuer or the Trustee only to the full extent permitted by law.
Section 15.10. Execution in Several Counterparts. This Indenture may be contemporaneously
executed in several counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument and each of
which shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an original.

Copies of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement are on file
at the Office of the Trustee, and reference is hereby made to
such instruments for a description of the properties mortgaged,
pledged and assigned, the nature and extent of the security, the
respective rights thereunder of the Bondholders, the Trustee, the
Issuer and the Developer, and the terms upon which the Bonds are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and the Loan
Documents, copies of which are on file with the Trustee, with
respect to the nature and extent of the rights, duties and
obligations of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Developer, and the
Bondholders. The Holder, by its acceptance of this Bond, is
deemed to have agreed and consented to the terms and provisions
of the foregoing documents. The abbreviated statement in this
Bond of the provisions governing interest, redemption, security
and all other matters is subject in all respects to the complete
statement of such terms in the foregoing documents.
Interest
The Bonds shall earn interest as follows: (i) Coupon
Interest, plus (ii) Gross-Up Amount. As provided in the
Indenture, all calculations with respect to payments of Interest
(including, without limitation, Coupon Interest, Gross-Up Amount
and any Late Charges) shall be calculated by the GE Bondholder
and shall be set forth in a written notice from the GE Bondholder
to the Developer and the Trustee; provided, however, that in the
event that none of the Bonds are held by a GE Bondholder then the
Trustee shall calculate such amounts.
The Issuer intends to conform strictly to the usury laws
applicable to the Indenture and the Bonds and all agreements made
in the Bonds, the Indenture and the Loan Documents are expressly
limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or
agreed to be paid to the Bondholders as interest or other amounts
paid for the use of money advanced or to be advanced hereunder
exceed the highest lawful rate prescribed under any law which a
court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto. If,
from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any
provision of the Bonds, the Indenture or the Loan Documents shall
involve the payment of interest in excess of the limit prescribed
by any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem
applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay
Interest hereunder shall be reduced to the maximum limit
prescribed by law; and if from any circumstances whatsoever, the
PAGE 4 OF 16 PAGE BOND ,11-74
MIFS02...;\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
Bondholders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest,
the amount of which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such
amount as would be excessive interest shall be deemed to have
been applied, as of the date of receipt by the Bondholders, to
the reduction of the principal remaining unpaid hereunder and not
to the payment of Interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds
the unpaid principal balance, such excess shall be refunded to
the Developer. This paragraph shall control every other
provision of the Bonds, the Indenture and all Loan Documents.
In determining whether the amount of interest charged and
paid might otherwise exceed the limit prescribed by law, the
Issuer intends and agrees that (i) interest shall be computed
upon the assumption that payments under the Loan Agreement and
other Loan Documents will be paid according to the agreed terms,
and (ii) any sums of money which are taken into account in the
calculation of Interest, even though paid at one time, shall be
spread over the stated term of the Bonds.
Coupon Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period for
which such Coupon Interest is payable.
In addition to all other rights and remedies to which it is
entitled under the Indenture, under the Loan Agreement, under the
Note and under applicable law, upon the occurrence of a
Determination of Taxability, each current and former Bondholder,
as applicable, shall be entitled to receive payment of the
Gross-Up Amount relating to direct or indirect ownership of the
Bonds during the Initial Rate Period. In addition, the Trustee
shall be reimbursed by the Developer for its reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in connection with any Determination of
Taxabil i ty .

option, the GE Bondholder or a Majority of the Holders
shall deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the

Business Days after receipt of the GECC Purchase
Notice, the Trustee shall send to each Bondholder
notice of the Mandatory Tender (the "Mandatory Tender
Notice") which notice shall:
1. specify the Mandatory Tender Date;
2. state that the Bonds must be delivered by the
Bondholders to the Office of the Trustee on or
prior to such Mandatory Tender Date, together with
all necessary endorsements for transfer, and shall
be purchased on such Mandatory Tender Date at a
purchase price with respect to each Bond equal to
the sum of (a) the outstanding Bond Principal of
such Bond, (b) accrued and unpaid Interest thereon
(including, without limitation, any Gross-Up
Amount with respect to such Bond) to the Mandatory
Tender Date and (c) all other amounts due and
payable to the Bondholders under the Indenture
(collectively, the "Purchase Price"), and that any
Bonds that are not so delivered to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been tendered for purchase
by the Bondholders and, provided that sufficient
moneys have been deposited with the Trustee to pay
the Purchase Price of the Bonds in full on the
Mandatory Tender Date as provided in the
Indenture, shall cease to accrue Interest from and
after the Mandatory Tender Date (except for the
Gross-Up Amount as provided in Section 4.6 of the
Indenture); and
3. state that to the extent there has not been
deposited with the Trustee sufficient moneys to
pay the Purchase Price of the Bonds in full on the
Mandatory Tender Date as provided in the
Indenture, an Event of Default under the Indenture
shall occur which may result in the acceleration
of the Bonds.
B. Upon receipt of a GECC Purchase Notice, the Trustee
shall give Immediate Notice of the Mandatory Tender to
the Developer not later than 11:00 a.m., Trustee's
Time, on the sixth (6th) calendar day immediately

PAGE 6 OF 16 PAGE BOND JI- 7'
MIFS02...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230

the Trustee for purchase under the Indenture, by
delivering such Bond to the Trustee, at the Office of
the Trustee, unless otherwise specified in the
Mandatory Tender Notice, by not later than 10:30 a.m.,
Trustee's Time on the Mandatory Tender Date, endorsed
in blank or accompanied by a blank bond power. To the
extent sufficient moneys have been deposited with the
Trustee to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price of
the Bonds on the Mandatory Tender Date as provided in
the Indenture, any Unsurrendered Bonds shall be deemed
to be tendered for purchase and purchased from the
Holders thereof on the Mandatory Tender Date and the
Holders thereof shall not be entitled to receive
Interest on any such Unsurrendered Bond for any period
on and after the Mandatory Tender Date (except for the
Gross-Up Amount as provided in Section 4.6 of the
Indenture) .
D. Not less than five (5) days prior to the Mandatory
Tender Date, the Developer shall deliver to the Trustee
a written certificate approved by the GE Bondholder
setting forth the amount of Gross-Up Amount to be due
on the Mandatory Tender Date, and the Trustee
thereafter shall direct the Developer to irrevocably
deposit or cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund an
amount sufficient to pay, together with any other
moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund, the Purchase Price
of the Bonds tendered or deemed tendered for purchase
on the Mandatory Tender Date. In the event the
Developer does not deliver said certificate to the
Trustee setting forth the amount of the Gross-Up Amount
due, the GE Bondholder shall provide such certificate
to the Trustee not less than one (1) Business Day prior
to the Mandatory Tender Date; provided, however, that
in the event that none of the Bonds are held by a GE
Bondholder, the Trustee shall calculate the Gross-Up
Amount due and payable on the Mandatory Tender Date.
On the Mandatory Tender Date, the Trustee shall pay to
each of the Bondholders an amount equal to the Purchase
Price of its Bonds.
E. At least five (5) days prior to the Mandatory Tender
Date, the Developer will appoint a remarketing agent
for the Bonds (the "Remarketing Agent") and will notify
the Issuer and the Trustee of such appointment in
writing. The Developer will promptly enter into a
written agreement with the Remarketing Agent in which,
among other things, (i) the Remarketing Agent shall
designate its principal office to the Developer, the
Issuer and the Trustee, (ii) the Remarketing Agent
shall agree to perform the duties and obligations
PAGE 7 OF 16 PAGE BOND 11-11
MIFS02...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
imposed upon it under the Indenture, (iii) the
Remarketing Agent shall agree to hold all money
delivered to it under the Indenture in trust for the
benefit of the PerSOn which shall have so delivered
such money until the Bonds to be purchased with such
money shall have been delivered to or for the account
of such Person, and (iv) the Developer and the
Remarketing Agent shall agree upon the compensation to
be paid to the Remarketing Agent by the Developer for
remarketing the Bonds.
F. Not less than three (3) days prior to the Mandatory
Tender Date, the Remarketing Agent shall determine and
shall notify the Trustee and the Developer in writing
of the interest rate to be in effect for the period
beginning on the Mandatory Tender Date and ending upon
the maturity of the Bonds, which would be the lowest
rate that would, in the opinion of the Remarketing
Agent, result in the Remarketing Agent being able to
remarket the Bonds at par on the Mandatory Tender Date,
taking into account relevant market conditions and
credit rating factors as they exist On such date;
provided that such interest rate may not exceed the
highest interest rate permitted by law. From and after
the Mandatory Tender Date, the interest rate so
determined shall be the interest rate borne by the
Bonds. The Remarketing Agent shall offer for sale and
use its best efforts to remarket the Bonds tendered or
deemed tendered for purchase pursuant to Section 4.2 of
the Indenture for delivery on the Mandatory Tender Date
at a price of par. The proceeds of the sale of Bonds
remarketed by the Remarketing Agent shall be delivered
by the Remarketing Agent to the Trustee for deposit in
the Bond Fund as provided in Section 4.2(d) of the
Indenture. The Remarketing Agent shall have nO
obligation under any circumstances to advance its own
money in connection with the remarketing of Bonds under
the Indenture.
G. Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the Mandatory Tender Date, the Remarketing Agent shall
provide the Trustee in writing with the names,
addresses, tax identification numbers and all other
information requested by the Trustee relating to the
purchasers of Bonds which have been remarketed by the
Remarketing Agent as of that time, and the Trustee
shall prepare new Bonds (with appropriate changes,
deletions and insertions) for each Bond purchased On
the Mandatory Tender Date, shall register such new
Bonds in the Bond Register in the name of the PerSOns
identified by the Remarketing Agent as the purchasers
PAGE 8 OF 16 PAGE BOND A-78'
MIFS02...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
thereof, and shall deliver such new Bonds to such
purchasers.
H. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Purchase Price for each
of the Bonds Outstanding shall be due and payable to
each of the Bondholders on the Mandatory Tender Date
under all circumstances and regardless of whether or
not the Remarketing Agent is successful in remarketing
the Bonds as contemplated in this paragraph.
Redemption
In the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture,
the Bonds will be subject to redemption prior to maturity as
follows:
ODtional Redemption. The Bonds may be redeemed at the
option of the Developer, in whole, but not in part, on any
Interest Payment Date on or after November 1, 2002, at a
redemption price, with respect to each Bond so called for
redemption equal to the sum of (i) the outstanding Bond
Principal of such Bond, (ii) accrued and unpaid Interest
thereon (including, without limitation, any Gross-Up Amount
with respect to such Bond) to the date of redemption, (iii)
the Prepayment Premium, if any, and (iv) all other amounts
due and payable to the Bondholder under the Indenture
(collectively, the "Redemption Price"), in each case with
accrued Interest to the redemption date to be paid to the
Registered Owner of each Bond as of the Record Date.
The Developer may exercise such option by giving the Trustee
and each GE Bondholder written notice of such exercise, not
less than fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed redemption
date. Any such notice shall specify the date fixed for
optional redemption and contain a certification by the
Developer that all conditions precedent to such optional
redemption have been (or will be, as of the optional
redemption date) satisfied. The GE Bondholder shall deliver
to the Trustee and to the Developer a written certificate
setting forth the amount of accrued Interest and Prepayment
Premium, if any, that will be due and payable as of the date
fixed for optional redemption not less than five (5) days
prior to the date set for such optional redemption.
In addition to the Redemption Price, upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity of
the Bonds prior to November 1, 2002, if, at any time
thereafter, payment is tendered in the amount necessary to
satisfy the Developer Payment Obligations ("Unauthorized
Prepayment"), the same shall constitute an evasion of the
payment terms of the Bonds and shall be deemed to be an
PAGE 9 OF 16 PAGE BOND 11- 7'
MIFS02...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
unauthorized voluntary prepayment thereunder, in which case
such payment must include a premium (the "Unauthorized
Prepayment Premium") equal to the product of (i) ten percent
(10%) of the then unpaid Indenture Indebtedness and (ii) the
Unauthorized Prepayment Factor. No Unauthorized Prepayment
Premium shall be due or payable upon any redemption of the
Bonds on or after November 1, 2002.
On any date on which the Bonds are subject to optional

MIFSD2...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
If the Bondholders elect to waive mandatory redemption and
cause the Bonds to remain Outstanding following a
Determination of Taxability, the Gross-Up Amount shall be
paid in addition to all other interest payments due on the
Bonds, as provided for in the Indenture, with all amounts
payable through the date of election, as such amounts shall
be certified in writing by the Bondholders to the Trustee,
payable immediately following the time the Bondholders made
such an election, and thereafter with Gross-Up Amounts
payable at the time of payment of Coupon Interest.
After the Bondholders have made an election to continue the

Interest accrued thereon to the redemption date with the
prior written consent of the GE Bondholder in accordance
with Section 2.12 of the Loan Agreement, which written

Project shall have been damaged or destroyed to the
extent that it is not practicable or feasible to
rebuild, repair or restore the damaged or destroyed
property within the period and under the conditions
described in the Loan Agreement following such event of
damage or destruction; or
(b) the Bonds are subject to redemption in whole if title
to, or the use of, all or a substantial portion of the
Project shall have been taken under the exercise of the
power of eminent domain by any governmental authority
with the result that the Developer is thereby prevented
from carrying on its normal operation of the Project
within the period and under the conditions described in
the Loan Agreement; or
(c) the Bonds are subject to redemption in whole or in part
to the extent that insurance proceeds or proceeds of
any condemnation award with respect to the Project are

MIFS02...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
(d) the Bonds are subject to redemption in whole if as a
result of changes in the Constitution of the State of
California, or of legislative or administrative action
by the State of California or any political subdivision
thereof, or by the United States, or by reason of any
action instituted in any court, the Loan Agreement or
the Note shall become void or unenforceable, or
impossible of performance without unreasonable delay,
or in any other way, by reason of such change of
circumstances, unreasonable burdens or excessive
liabilities are imposed on the Issuer.
In the event that a Bond subject to redemption pursuant to
Article VI of the Indenture is in a denomination larger than an
Authorized Denomination, all or a portion of such Bond may be
redeemed, but only in a principal amount such that the remaining
principal amount of the Bond not so redeemed shall be an
Authorized Denomination. Upon surrender of any Bond for
redemption in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the
expense of the Developer, a new Bond or Bonds, in Authorized
Denominations, equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so
surrendered. If less than all of the Bonds are called for
redemption, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot in
such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may determine, each
Authorized Denomination being counted as one Bond for this
purpose.
Any redemption shall be made upon not less than thirty (30)
days' (ten (10) days in the case of an optional redemption
pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Indenture) nor more than
forty-five (45) days' notice in the manner and upon the terms and
conditions provided in the Indenture.
If an "Event of Default," as defined in the Indenture, shall
occur, the principal of the Bonds may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be modified or amended only to the extent and in
the circumstances permitted by the Indenture. The Indenture
contains provisions, under certain circumstances, permitting the
GE Bondholder (or in the event that none of the Bonds are held by
a GE Bondholder, a Majority of Holders) by written notice to the
Trustee, the Issuer and the Developer to waive certain past
defaults under the Indenture and the Loan Agreement and their
consequences.
The Holder of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the
provisions of the Indenture, or to institute any ac.tion to
enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect
PAGE 12 OF 16 PAGE BOND A -8-:l
MIFS02...:\RE\60\47660\1387\2341\BND0137M.230
to any default thereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend
any suit or other proceeding with respect thereto, except as
provided in the Indenture.

limitations therein set forth, this Bond is transferable (but,
without the prior written consent of the Issuer, only to a
Permitted Transferee) on the Bond Register maintained at the
Office of the Trustee, upon surrender of this Bond for transfer
at such office, together with all necessary endorsements for
transfer, and thereupon one new Bond of the same maturity, of an
Authorized Denomination and for a like principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Bonds are exchangeable for
other Bonds of Authorized Denominations and of like principal
amounts, as requested by the Bondholders surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange
hereinbefore referred to, but the Issuer or the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Bond is
registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving
payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or
not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor
any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No covenant or agreement contained in this Bond or the
Indenture shall be deemed to be a covenant or agreement of any
past, present or future elected or appointed official, officer,
agent or employee of the Issuer or the governing body of the
Issuer or the Trustee, and none of the foregoing shall be liable
personally on this Bond or be subject to any personal liability
by reason of the issuance of this Bond, or by reason of the
covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture or in this
Bond or implied therefrom.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts,
conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed
precedent to and in the execution and delivery of the Indenture
and issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened and have been
performed in due time, form and manner as required by law.

be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

Loan Documents shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement
is sought and consented to in writing by the GE Bondholder through the GECC Purchase Date, or all of
the Bondholders thereafter.
Section 11.3. Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly
to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between the Developer and the Issuer with respect
to the Loan are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity
or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Issuer or charged by the Issuer for the use,
forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount
allowed by law. If the Loan would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the State of
California and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Loan Documents: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable
law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no
circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall
be credited on the Note and the Bonds by the holder thereof (or, if the Note and the Bonds have been paid
in full, refunded to the Developer); and (b) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by the Issuer
or the GE Bondholder, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest
may not include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. In such case, excess interest,
if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the
actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and
spreading is not permitted under applicable law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically
as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Note
(or, if the Note and the Bonds have been paid in full, refunded to the Developer). Tbe terms and
provisions of this Section 11.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents.

by the laws of the State of California, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America
permit the Issuer to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed
by the laws of the State of California (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law
of any state), then such federal laws shall to such. extent govern as to the rate of interest which the Issuer
may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.
Section 11.4. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed
and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the
remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision

on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to the Issuer, the
Trustee and the GE Bondholder, all of which shall constitute part of the Loan and shall be secured by the
Loan Documents.
Section 11.6. Approvals; Third Parties. The approval rights retained or exercised by the Issuer,
the Trustee and the GE Bondholder with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters shall

passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by the Developer or
any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Bondholders and the Developer and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than the

.D-7
plural number, and vice versa, when appropriate. This Regulatory Agreement and all the terms
and provisions hereof shall be construed to effectuate the purposes set forth herein and to sustain

interpretation of all defined terms shall be determined by reference to this Section 1
notwithstanding any contrary definition in the preamble or recitals hereof. The titles and headings
of the sections of this Regulatory Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only,

terms or provisions hereof or be considered or given any effect in construing this Regulatory
Agreement or any provisions hereof or in ascertaining intent, if any question of intent shall arise.
Capitalized terms used in this Regulatory Agreement and not defined herein shall
have the meaning assigned to such terms in Section 1. I of the Indenture.
Section 2. Construction. Eauiooinl! and Comoletion of the Proiect. The Owner
hereby represents, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) The construction and equipping of the Project has been completed.
(b) The total Project Costs and the Qualified Project Costs are accurately set
forth in the Owner's Tax Certificate which has been delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee.
(c) At all times during the Qualified Project Period, the Project has been in
continual compliance with the provisions of the Prior Regulatory Agreement relating to
Section 103(b)(4)(A) of the 1954 Code.

are true and correct and are incorporated by reference herein.
(e) Money on deposit in any fund or account in connection with the Bonds,

money in any such fund shall be restricted as may be necessary to prevent the Bonds from being
"arbitrage bonds" under the Code.
(f) The Owner and any Affiliated Party will not purchase and hold any Bonds
pursuant to any arrangement, formal or informal, and will not take or omit to take, as is applicable,
any other action if such action or omission would in any way cause the proceeds from the sale of

Agreement or this Regulatory Agreement.
Section 3. Residential Rental Prooerty. The Owner hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Project is to be owned, managed and operated in the same manner as a project for

526703.3\24036.0002
-6-
D-i
term equal to the Qualified Project Period. To that end, the Owner hereby represents, covenants,
warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Project has been constructed for the purpose of providing multifamily
residential rental property. The Owner shall own, manage and operate the Project as a project to
provide multifamily residential rental property comprised of a building or structure or several
interrelated buildings or structures, together with any functionally related and subordinate facilities,
and no other facilities, in accordance with Section 1 03(b)( 4 )(A) of the 1954 Code, Section
I .103-8(b) of the Regulations, and the provisions of the Act, and in accordance with such
requirements as may be imposed thereby on the Project from time to time.
(b) All of the dwelling units in the Project are and will continue to be similarly
constructed units, and each dwelling unit in the Project does and will continue to contain complete
separate and distinct facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation for a single person
or a family, including a sleeping area, bathing and sanitation facilities and cooking facilities
equipped with a cooking range, refrigerator and sink.
(c) None of the dwelling units in the Project has been or will at any time be
utilized on a transient basis, or will ever be used as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity house,
sorority house, rooming house, nursing home, hospital, sanitarium, rest home or trailer court or
park.
(d) No part of the Project has been or will at any time be owned or used as a
condominium or by a cooperative housing corporation, nor shall the Owner take any steps in
connection with a conversion to such ownership or use. The Owner may file a subdivision map for
condominium purposes, may record a condominium declaration and a condominium plan, and may
deed out title to one unit and have title thereto quitclaimed back to the Owner, in order to perfect
the condominium regime. Other than the foregoing, the Owner shall not take any steps in
connection with a conversion of the Project to a condominium ownership except with the prior
written approving opinion of Bond Counsel that the interest on the Bonds will not become taxable
thereby, and in no event shall any unit in the Project be sold as a condominium unit during the term
of this Regulatory Agreement.
(e) All of the dwelling units in the Project have been and will be available for
rental on a continuous basis to members of the general public; and the Owner will not give
preference to any particular class or group in renting the dwelling units in the Project, except to the
extent that dwelling units are required to be leased or rented to Lower-Income Tenants as described
in Section 4 hereof. The Owner specifically agrees that it will not deny any person the opportunity
to reside in the Project because such person is blind, visually handicapped, deaf or otherwise
physically disabled or because of such person's gender, race, color, religion, ancestry or national
origin.
(f) The Project Site consists of a parcel or parcels that are contiguous except for
the interposition of a road, street or stream, and all of the Project Facilities comprise a single
geographically and functionally integrated project for residential rental property, as evidenced by
the ownership, management, accounting and operation of the Project.
526703.3\24036.0002

D - 9
(g) No dwelling unit in any building or structure in the Project which contains
fewer than 5 units shall be occupied by the Owner or an Affiliated Party; provided, however, that
if a building in the Project contains five or more dwelling units, this subsection shall not be
construed to prohibit occupancy of such dwelling units by one or more resident managers or
maintenance personnel, any of whom may be the Owner.
Section 4. Lower-Income Tenants. Pursuant to the requirements of
Section 103(b)(4)(A) of the 1954 Code, the Act and Issuer policy, the Owner hereby represents,
warrants and covenants that throughout the Qualified Project Period:
(a) Not less than 20 percent of the completed units in the Project shall be
continuously occupied by Lower-Income Tenants. Not less than forty-three (43) two-bedroom
units shall be occupied by Lower-Income Tenants at an Affordable Rent. For purposes of
satisfying the occupancy requirement set forth above, a unit occupied by a person or family who at
the commencement of their occupancy qualified as a Lower-Income Tenant shall be treated as
occupied by a Lower-Income Tenant until reoccupied. A unit occupied by a Lower-Income Tenant
shall be deemed, upon the termination of such tenant's occupancy, to be continuously occupied by
a Lower-Income Tenant until reoccupied, other than for a temporary period, at which time the
character of the unit shall be redetermined. In no event shall such temporary period exceed 31
days. The Lower Income Units have been and will continue to be intermingled with all other
dwelling units in the Project and shall be of a quality comparable, and offer a range of sizes and
number of bedrooms proportionate, to those units which are available to other tenants. Tenants in
the Lower Income Units have had and will continue to have equal access and enjoyment to all
common facilities of the Project.
Because the Affordable Rent provisions described above differ from those
currently in effect for the Project, it will be necessary to phase in the requirements. To the extent
that less than 43 units are occupied by Lower-Income Tenants on the Closing Date, the Owner shall
rent any two-bedroom units that are vacant or that become vacant only to Lower-Income Tenants
until 43 two-bedroom units are occupied by Lower-Income Tenants at an Affordable Rent. For any
existing Lower-Income Tenants in a two-bedroom unit, the Affordable Rent shall become effective
immediately.
(b) The Owner shall obtain, complete and maintain on file Income Certifications
from each Lower-Income Tenant and Very Low Income Tenant, dated immediately prior to the
initial occupancy of such tenant in the Project, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B to
this Regulatory Agreement and shall provide such additional information as may be required in the
future by the State of California, the Issuer and by Section 103(b)(l2)(C) of the 1954 Code, as the
same may be amended from time to time, or in such other form and manner as may be required by
applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, Regulations or other official statements now or
hereafter promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of the Treasury or the Internal
Revenue Service with respect to obligations issued under Section 103(b)(4)(A) of the 1954 Code.
A copy of each such Income Certification shall be attached to the monthly report filed with the
Issuer and the Administrator pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 4. The Owner shall make a
good faith effort to verify that the income provided by an applicant in an Income Certification is
accurate by taking one or more of the following steps as a part of the verification process:
(I) obtain a pay stub for the most recent pay period, (2) obtain an income tax return for the most
recent tax year, (3) conduct a TRW or similar search, (4) obtain an income verification from the
52(,70331240360002 -8- D _ I 0
applicant's current employer, (5) obtain an income verification from the Social Security
Administration and/or the California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives
assistance from either of such agencies, or (6) if the applicant is unemployed and does not have an
income tax return, obtain another form of independent verification.
(c) The Owner will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the
Lower-Income Units, and will, upon reasonable notice, permit any duly authorized representative

pertaining to the occupancy of the Lower-Income Units.
(d) The Owner will prepare and submit to the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Administrator monthly throughout the Qualified Project Period a Certification of Continuing
Program Compliance, executed by the Owner, stating: (i) the percentage of the dwelling units of
the Project which were occupied or held available for occupancy, pursuant to subsection (a) hereof,
by Lower-Income Tenants and the rents charged for each such unit, and (ii) that either (A) that no
unremedied default has occurred under this Regulatory Agreement, or (B) that a default has
occurred, in which event the certificate shall describe the nature of the default and set forth the
measures being taken by the Owner to remedy such default. On each May 1 and November 1, the
Owner will prepare and submit to the Issuer a Semi-Annual Report in the form set forth in Exhibit
o hereto.

tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing
program under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, or its successor. The Owner
shall not apply selection criteria to Section 8 certificate holders that is more burdensome than
criteria applied to all other prospective tenants. In the event of the vacancy or anticipated vacancy
of a Lower-Income Unit, the Owner will give the Issuer and the Administrator seven days' advance
notice prior to renting such unit to assure that priority is given in renting such unit to application
from Section 8 certificate-holders referred to the Owner by the Issuer.
(f) The form of lease to be utilized by the Owner in renting any units in the
Project to any person other than a Section 8 tenant who is intended to qualify as a Lower-Income
Tenant shall provide for termination of the lease and consent by such person to immediate eviction
for failure to qualify as a Lower-Income Tenant as a result of any material misrepresentation made
by such person with respect to the Income Certification.
Section 5. Tax ExemDt Status of the Bonds. The Owner and the Issuer, as
applicable, each hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:
(a) The Owner and the Issuer will not knowingly take or permit, or omit to take
or cause to be taken, as is appropriate, any action that would adversely affect the exemption from
California personal income taxation of the interest on the Bonds or the exclusion from gross
income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds, and, if either of them should take
or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any such action, it will take all lawful actions
necessary to rescind or correct any of its actions or omissions promptly upon obtaining knowledge
thereof;

(b) The Owner and the Issuer will take such action or actions as may be
necessary, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer and the Trustee, to comply
fully with all applicable rules, rulings, policies, procedures, Regulations or other official statements
promulgated, proposed or made by the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service
pertaining to obligations issued under Section 103(b)(4)(A) of the 1954 Code and the Tax Reform
Act of 1986; and
(c) The Owner and the Issuer, at the Owner's expense, will file of record such
documents and take such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed
with the Issuer and the Trustee, in order to insure that the requirements and restrictions of this
Regulatory Agreement will be binding upon all owners of the Project and their successors in
interest, including, but not limited to, the execution and recordation of this Regulatory Agreement
in the real property records of the City of Riverside,
Section 6, Modification of Soecial Tax Covenants, The Owner, the Trustee
and the Issuer hereby agree as follows:
(a) To the extent any amendments to the Act, the Regulations or the Code, in
the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer and the Trustee, impose requirements
upon the ownership or operation of the Project more restrictive than those imposed by this
Regulatory Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically amended to
impose such additional or more restrictive requirements,
(b) To the extent that the Act, the Regulations or the Code, or any amendments
thereto, shall, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer and the Trustee, impose
requirements upon the ownership or operation of the Project less restrictive than imposed by this
Regulatory Agreement, this Regulatory Agreement may be amended or modified to conform in
whole or in part to such changed requirements should the Issuer, in its sole discretion, decide that
such requirements should be made applicable to the Project.
(c) The Owner, the Issuer and, if applicable, the Trustee shall execute, deliver
and, if applicable, file of record any and all documents and instruments, necessary to effectuate the
intent of this Section 6, and each of the Owner and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and, if applicable, file of record on behalf of the
Owner or the Issuer, as is applicable, any such document or instrument (in such form as may be
approved in writing by Bond Counsel) if the Owner or the Issuer defaults in the performance of its
obligations under this subsection (c); provided, however, that the Trustee shall take no action under
this subsection (c) without first notifying the Owner and the Issuer, and without first providing the
Owner or the Issuer, or both, as is applicable, an opportunity to comply with the requirements of
this Section 6, Nothing in this subsection (c) shall be construed to allow the Trustee to execute an
amendment to this Regulatory Agreement on behalf of the Issuer,

officers and employees from, and covenants and agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Issuer, the Trustee and their respective officers, members, directors, officials, agents and

and this Regulatory Agreement; Cf) any and all claims arising in connection with the operations of
the Project, or the conditions, environmental or otherwise, occupancy, use, possession, conduct or

damages are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of such person; or (ii) in the case of
the foregoing indemnification of the Issuer or any of its officers, members, directors, officials and
employees, to the extent such damages are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such person. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against any indemnified party
with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Owner, upon written notice from the
indemnified party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel selected by the Owner, subject to the approval of the indemnified party in such party's sole
discretion, and shall assume the payment of all expenses related thereto, with full power to litigate,

indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding
and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Owner shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such separate counsel; Drovided, however, that unless such separate counsel is
employed with the approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the
Owner shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel.
The Owner also shall pay and discharge and shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuer, the Administrator and the Trustee from (i) any lien or charge upon payments by the Owner
to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Trustee hereunder and (Ii) any taxes (including, without

upon payments, or any such taxes, assessments, impositions or other charges, are sought to be
imposed, the Issuer, the Administrator or the Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Owner and the

In addition to the foregoing, subject to Section 19 hereof, the Owner will pay upon
demand all of the fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, paid or incurred by the Trustee, the
Issuer or the Administrator in enforcing the provisions hereof.
The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the term of the Bonds and this
Regulatory Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
The obligations of the Owner under this Section are independent of any other
contractual obligation of the Owner to provide indemnity to the parties named herein or otherwise,
and the obligation of the Owner to provide indemnity hereunder shall not be interpreted, construed
or limited in light of any other separate indemnification obligation of the Owner. Any indemnified
party shall be entitled simultaneously to seek indemnity under this Section and any other provision
under which it is entitled to indemnity.
Section 8. Consideration. The Issuer has issued the Bonds to provide funds to
refinance the Project, all for the purpose, among others, of inducing the Owner to continue to
operate the Project in a manner to benefit Lower-Income Tenants. In consideration of the issuance
of the Bonds by the Issuer, the Owner has entered into this Regulatory Agreement and has agreed
to restrict the uses to which the Project may be put on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Section 9. Reliance. The Issuer and the Owner hereby recognize and agree that
the representations and covenants set forth herein may be relied upon by all persons interested in
the legality and validity of the Bonds, in the exemption from California personal income taxes of
interest on the Bonds and in the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of
interest on the Bonds. In performing their duties and obligations under this Regulatory Agreement,
the Issuer, the Administrator and the Trustee may rely upon statements and certificates of the
Owner and Lower-Income Tenants, and upon audits of the books and records of the Owner
pertaining to occupancy of the Project. In addition, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Trustee
may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Issuer, the Administrator or the
Trustee under this Regulatory Agreement in good faith and in conformity with such opinion;
provided, however, that if there are conflicting opinions among the counsel selected by such
parties, the opinion of Bond Counsel shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this
Regulatory Agreement. In determining whether any default or lack of compliance by the Owner
exists under this Regulatory Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to conduct any
investigation into or review of the operations or records of the Owner and may rely solely upon
any written notice or certificate delivered to the Trustee by the Owner or the Issuer with respect to
the occurrence or absence of a default, unless the Trustee knows that the notice or certificate is
erroneous or misleading.
Section 10. Proiect Location. The Owner hereby represents and warrants that
the Project is located entirely within the incorporated area of the Issuer.
Section 11. Sale or Transfer of the Proiect. The Owner hereby covenants and
agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project, or any portion thereof (other than
for individual tenant use as contemplated hereunder), without obtaining the prior written consent of
the Issuer, which consent shall be given as promptly as practicable following (A) the receipt by the
Issuer and the Trustee of evidence acceptable to the Issuer that the Owner is not in default
526703.3\24036.0002 -12-
D -I"
hereunder or under the Loan Agreement (which may be evidenced by a Certificate of Continuing
Program Compliance) or the purchaser or assignee undertakes to cure any defaults of the Owner to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer; (B) the execution by the purchaser or assignee of any
document requested by the Issuer or the Trustee with respect to the assumption of the Owner's
obligations under this Regulatory Agreement and the Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, an instrument of assumption hereof, and delivery to the Issuer and the Trustee of an
opinion of such purchaser's or assignee's counsel to the effect that each such document and this
Regulatory Agreement are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such purchaser or
assignee; (C) receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee of an opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the
Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that any such sale, transfer or other disposition will not
adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the
Bonds; and (D) receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee of all fees then currently due and payable to
the Issuer and the Trustee. It is hereby expressly stipulated and agreed that any sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Project in violation of this Section 11 shall be null, void and without effect,
shall cause a reversion of title to the Owner, and shall be ineffective to relieve the Owner of its
obligations under this Regulatory Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall affect any
provision of the Mortgage or any other document or instrument to which the Owner is a party
which requires the Owner to obtain the consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note or any other
provision as a precondition to sale, transfer or other disposition of the Project or which gives the
holder of the Mortgage Note the right to accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan, or to take
some other similar action with respect to the Mortgage Loan, upon the sale, transfer or other
disposition of the Project. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall affect the right of the Trustee
or its designee to foreclose on the Project or accept a deed in lieu thereof.
Section 12. Term. This Regulatory Agreement and all and several of the terms
hereof shall become effective upon its execution and delivery and shall remain in full force and
effect for the Qualified Project Period, it being expressly agreed and understood that the provisions
hereof are intended to survive the retirement of the Bonds and expiration of the Indenture, the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Regulatory
Agreement, this entire Regulatory Agreement, or any of the provisions or sections hereof, may be
terminated upon agreement by the Issuer and the Owner if there shall have been received by the
Issuer and the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that such termination will not adversely affect
the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes or exemption from California
personal income taxation of the interest on the Bonds; provided, however, that the Issuer has
bargained for and obtained the Owner's agreement herein to terms and conditions not related to the
exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds and any decision by the Issuer to terminate
some or all of such provisions shall be in the sole discretion of the Issuer. The Owner shall
provide notice of any termination of this Regulatory Agreement to the Trustee.
The terms of this Regulatory Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Regulatory Agreement, and each and all of the terms hereof, shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect in the event of an involuntary noncompliance with the provisions of this Regulatory
Agreement caused by foreclosure of the lien of the Mortgage or delivery of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, fire, seizure, requisition, change in a federal law, or an action of a federal agency
after the Closing Date which prevents the Issuer and the Trustee from enforcing the provisions of
this Regulatory Agreement, or condemnation or a similar event, but only if within a reasonable
period thereafter Bonds are paid in full and retired; provided, however, that the preceding
526703.3\24036.0002
-13-
D -/~
provisions of this sentence shall cease to apply and the restrictions contained herein shall be
reinstated if, at any time subsequent to the termination of such provisions as the result of the
foreclosure of the lien of the Mortgage or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a similar
event, the Owner or any Affiliated Party obtains an interest in the Project which constitutes an
ownership interest therein for federal income tax purposes. Upon the termination of all and several
of the terms of this Regulatory Agreement, the parties hereto agree to execute, deliver and record
appropriate instruments of release and discharge of the terms hereof; provided, however, that the
execution and delivery of such instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to the
termination of this Regulatory Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Section 13. Covenants to Run With the Land. The Owner hereby subjects the
Project (including the Project Site) to the covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth in this
Regulatory Agreement. The Issuer and the Owner hereby declare their express intent that the
covenants, reservations and restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the
land and shall pass to and be binding upon the Owner's successors in title to the Project; provided,
however, that on the termination of this Regulatory Agreement said covenants, reservations and
restrictions shall expire. Each and every contract, deed or other instrument hereafter executed
covering or conveying the Project or any portion thereof shall conclusively be held to have been
executed, delivered and accepted subject to such covenants, reservations and restrictions,
regardless of whether such covenants, reservations and restrictions are set forth in such contract,
deed or other instruments.
Section 14. Burden and Benefit. The Issuer and the Owner hereby declare their
understanding and intent that the burden of the covenants set forth herein touch and concern the
land in that the Owner's legal interest in the Project is rendered less valuable thereby. The Issuer
and the Owner hereby further declare their understanding and intent that the benefit of such
covenants touch and concern the land by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the
Project by Lower-Income Tenants, the intended beneficiaries of such covenants, reservations and
restrictions, and by furthering the public purposes for which the Bonds were issued.
Section 15. Uniformity: Common Plan. The covenants, reservations and
restrictions hereof shall apply uniformly to the entire Project in order to establish and carry out a
common plan for the use, development and improvement of the Project Site.
Section 16. Enforcement. If the Owner defaults in the performance or
observance of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Owner set forth in this Regulatory
Agreement and if such default remains uncured for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof
shall have been given by the Issuer or the Trustee to the Owner (or for a period of 60 days after
such notice if such default is curable but requires acts to be done or conditions to be remedied
which, by their nature, cannot be done or remedied within such 30-day period, and if the Owner
commences the same within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and continuously
prosecutes the same to completion within such 60-day period or for any shorter period of time as
may be required in an opinion of Bond Counsel to assure compliance with Section 103(b)(4)(A) of
the 1954 Code), then the Issuer or the Trustee, upon notice of such an event of default, acting on
its own behalf or on behalf of the Issuer, shall declare an "Event of Default" to have occurred
hereunder, and shall provide written notice thereof to the Owner and, at its option, may take any
one or more of the following steps:
526703.3\24036.0002
-14-
D-I(.
(i) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity,
require the Owner to perform its obligations and covenants hereunder or enjoin any
acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Issuer or
the Trustee hereunder;
(ii) have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of all of the
books and records of the Owner pertaining to the Project; or
(iii) take such other action at law or in equity as may be reasonably
necessary to enforce the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Owner
hereunder.
The Owner hereby grants to the Issuer the option, upon the Owner's default under
this Regulatory Agreement, for the Qualified Project Period to lease up to twenty percent (20 %) of
the units in the Project for a rental of $1.00 per unit per year for the purpose of subleasing such
units to Lower-Income Tenants, but only to the extent necessary to comply with the provisions of
Section 4. The Issuer shall make diligent effort to rent Lower-Income Units to Lower-Income
Tenants for an Affordable Rent. Any rental paid under any such sublease shall be paid to the
Owner after the Issuer has been reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection with such
sublease, provided that, if the Issuer has notice that the Owner is in default under the Loan
Agreement, after the Issuer has been reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection with such
sublease, such rental shall be paid to the Trustee.
The Owner hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the Owner's agreements
contained herein is the only means by which the Issuer may fully obtain the benefits of such
agreements made by the Owner herein, and the Owner therefore agrees to the imposition of the
remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any Event of Default by the Owner
hereunder.
The Trustee shall have the right, in accordance with this Section 16 and the
provisions of the Indenture, upon notice to but without the consent or approval of the Issuer, to
exercise any or all of the rights or remedies of the Issuer hereunder. All fees, costs and expenses
of the Trustee and the Issuer incurred in taking any action pursuant to this Section 16 as a result of
a default by Owner shall be paid by the Owner and shall be the sole responsibility of the Owner.
After the Indenture has been discharged, or if the Trustee fails to act upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer may act on its own behalf to declare an Event of
Default to have occurred and to take anyone or more of the steps specified hereinabove to the
same extent and with the same effect as if taken by the Trustee.
The rights of the Trustee under this Section are in addition to all rights conferred
upon the Trustee under the Indenture and in no way limit those rights.
Section 17.
Recordin!! and Filin!!.
(a) The Owner shall cause this Regulatory Agreement and all amendments and
supplements hereto and thereto, to be recorded and filed in the real property records of the County
526703.3\24036.0002
-15-
D -/7
of San Diego and in such other places as the Issuer or the Trustee may reasonably request. The
Owner shall pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with any such recording.
(b) The Owner and the Issuer will file of record such other documents and take
such other steps as are necessary, in the written opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Issuer and
the Trustee, in order to insure that the requirements and restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement
will be binding upon all owners of the Project.
(c) The Owner hereby covenants to include or reference the requirements and
restrictions contained in this Regulatory Agreement in any documents transferring any interest in
the Project to another person to the end that such transferee has notice of, and is bound by, such
restrictions, and to obtain the agreement from any transferee to abide by all requirements and
restrictions of this Regulatory Agreement.
Section 18. The Trustee. The Trustee shall act as specifically provided herein
and in the Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to act with respect to enforcement of the
Owner's performance hereunder. The Trustee may, if so requested by the Issuer, act as the agent
of and on behalf of the Issuer, and any act required to be performed by the Issuer as herein
provided shall be deemed taken if such act is performed by the Trustee. In connection with any
such performance, however, the Trustee is acting solely as Trustee under the Indenture, and not in
its individual capacity, and all provisions of the Indenture relating to the rights, privileges, powers
and protections of the Trustee, including without limitation those set forth in Article XII thereof,
shall apply with equal force and effect to all actions taken (or omitted to be taken) by the Trustee in
connection with this Regulatory Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor any of its officers, directors,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or in
connection herewith except for its or their own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee may
consult with legal counsel selected by it (the reasonable fees of which counsel shall be paid by the
Owner) and any action taken or suffered by it reasonably and in good faith in accordance with the
opinion of such counsel shall be full justification and protection to it.
The Trustee may at all times assume compliance with this Regulatory Agreement
unless otherwise notified in writing by or on behalf of the Issuer, or unless it has actual knowledge
of noncompliance.
After the date on which no Bonds remain outstanding as provided in the Indenture,
the Trustee shall no longer have any duties or obligations under this Regulatory Agreement, and all
references to the Trustee herein shall be deemed references to the Issuer.
Section 19. Attorneys' Fees and Issuer's Fees. In the event that a party to this
Regulatory Agreement brings an action against any other party to this Regulatory Agreement by
reason of the breach of any condition or covenant, representation or warranty in this Regulatory
Agreement, or otherwise arising out of this Regulatory Agreement, the prevailing party in such
action shall be entitled to recover from the other reasonable attorney's fees to be fixed by the court
which shall render a judgment, as well as the costs of suit.
The Owner shall pay to the Issuer the Issuer's Fee when and as it becomes due.

written instrument executed by the parties hereto or their successors in title, and duly recorded in
the real property records of the County of San Diego. Any amendment to this Regulatory
Agreement shall be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment

ATTACHMENT E
~/~
THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE OF TRUST (this "Supplement"), dated as
of November I, 1997, by and between the City of Chula Vista, California, a municipal
corporation, duly organized and operating under the Constitution and laws of the State of
California (the "City"), and First Trust of California, National Association, as successor to
Security Pacific National Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"), amends the terms of the Indenture
(defined below).
RECITALS:
A. The Bonds have been issued pursuant to the Indenture of Trust entered into by and
between the City and the Trustee dated as of November I, 1985 (the "Original Indenture"). All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Original
Indenture.
B. Pursuant to the terms of the Original Indenture, Continental Casualty Company, an
Illinois insurance company (the "Credit Instrument Obligor"), has delivered its surety bond to the
Trustee to secure the repayment of the Bonds.
C. On March _, 1996, Eucalyptus Grove Holdings LLC, a Utah limited liability
company (the "Developer") acquired the Project and assumed the obligations of Eucalyptus Grove
International, a California Limited Partnership, under the documents relating to the Bonds with the
consent of the City, the Trustee and the Credit Instrument Obligor.
D. Because the DeveloPer has not delivered to the Trustee a written commitment for an
Alternate Qualified Credit Instrument by September 15, 1997 as required by Section 2.02(e) of the
Original Indenture, the Bonds are subject to redemption on November I, 1997 pursuant to Section
6.01(c)(ii) of the Indenture; and
E. The Developer has requested that Section 13.01 of the Original Indenture be
amended in part to permit the immediate release of the Qualified Credit Instrument on November I,
1997 following the redemption of the Bonds; and
F. The Trustee and the City have been furnished with an opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the amendment to Section 13.01 is of the type that may be made without the consent of
the Bondholders pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Original Indenture and the Trustee has
determined that the amendment is not to the prejudice of the Trustee.
G. The Credit Instrument Obligor and the Developer have consented to this
Supplement.
H. The City and the Trustee have received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect
that the execution and delivery of this Supplement will not impair the exclusion of the interest on
the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes and the exemption of interest on the
Bonds from State of California personal income taxation.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
526730.1 \24036.0002

Section 1.
Each of the above recitals is true and correct.

Section 3. Except as expressly modified in Section 2 above, all of the provisions of the
Original Indenture shall remain in full force and effect.
SectIOn 4. This Supplement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City and the Trustee have caused this First Supplemental
Indenture of Trust to be executed on their behalf by their duly authorized officers, all as of the day
and year first written above.
