► CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR CITY ENTRY SIGN LOCATED ON DIAMOND
BAR BOULEVARD AT BREA CANYON ROAD — Discussion and Action.
CDD/Gubman introduced Jameson Nakaya, Project Manager for Lennar
Homes/Willow Heights Project (Site D); Ruth Low, Planning Commission
Chairwoman and Jennifer Shen, Project Manager for Clark and Green, Inc.
CDD/Gubman stated that in 2012 when the Site D Specific Plan was approved,
the final approval included a requirement for a park as part of its implementation.
Because of the prominent location of Site D being a key entrance to the City, a
requirement within the Specific Plan was that there be a significant entry feature
to identify the entrance to the City through the significant landmark. The Specific
Plan further specified that the landmark entry feature be designed so that it bore
special significance to the City of Diamond Bar with references to the City's
history and its natural attributes. The entry feature was prescribed to be fully
funded by the eventual developer of Site D which is Lennar Homes. A project
team comprised of Planning Commission Chairwoman Ruth Low, CDD/Gubman,
PIM/Roa, CSD/Rose, PMS/Jordan, and SP/Lee was assembled. He explained
how each team member played a crucial role in the process.
CDD/Gubman asked Lennar to contract with Clark and Green because of past
experience with the firm which is an extremely creative and excellent design firm.
When Clark and Green take on a project they study and consider the context of
the site, the setting, and the background of the location to come up with an
appropriate architectural landscape. In addition, Clark and Green form a
partnership and work well with their clients because they listen to their clients and
are very responsive to ensure that the City's vision will be realized in the final
design.
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 2 CC STUDY SESSION
The team established criteria to begin the design process, one of which was that
this particular location has significant historical importance due to the fact that the
entrance to the Diamond Bar Ranch which was demarcated by the archway was
originally located nearby which currently lays within the SR57 right-of-way and
slightly to the south of the Site D location. As such, this site is the most
appropriate location for consideration of locating the gateway entry feature as an
historical reference within this project. Diamond Bar's period of historic
significance is the Diamond Bar Ranch period so the vision was to take into
account the ranching history as well as this particular setting and to come up with
a feature that is visually significant in terms of identifying this key entrance to the
City which brings relevance to the City's heritage. The third criteria the team
specified was to integrate the Grand Avenue Beautification Project design palate
into this statement. The City recently completed the Grand Avenue
Beautification Project through which was developed a package of graphics,
materials and design elements as well as branding for the City which provided
the ingredients to assemble and create this feature.
CDD/Gubman said he hoped the City Council would support the design concept
presented this evening and provide direction to proceed with the final
construction documents. This presentation will include two slightly different site
plans for the Council's consideration.
CDD/Gubman then introduced Jennifer Shen with Clark and Green who provided
a PowerPoint presentation.
Ms. Shen stated that her firm, Clark and Green was asked by Lennar Homes to
design a gateway monument for the City of Diamond Bar that would be located in
the Diamond Canyon Park adjacent to the Willow Heights Development. She
spoke about how the design evolved as well as, some of the key elements. First,
her firm looked at the history of Diamond Bar and specifically at the Diamond Bar
Ranch and what they found was that the Diamond Bar Ranch consisted mostly of
cattle ranches, grass, oak and walnut trees and grassland. Her firm also looked
at the modern-day Diamond Bar and specifically the Grand Avenue Beautification
Project. What they found was that the iconic windmill seems to be a recurring
theme throughout Diamond Bar and with the iconic windmill and rolling hills Clark
and Green was able to evolve its design proposal. The goal was to have a
recurring trend — a logo to signify that one is "in the City of Diamond Bar" and that
there should be some consistency that unifies the City. She further defined the
location of the signage using a Power Point presentation and showed visuals of
story poles which were installed on site to provide a sense of scale of the
monument in relation to Diamond Bar Boulevard looking east and west from the
street.
Her firm worked with the City and the Developer to refine two options: The first
option (Option #1) is a monument sign that emerges from the slope which to
Clark and Green was compatible and cohesive with the topography of Diamond
Bar with the development of Diamond Bar emerging from the rolling hills.
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 3 CC STUDY SESSION
M/Tye asked if the sign would be a double sided sign.
Ms. Shen responded that it would be one-sided with the back side screened by
oak trees and walnut trees. The corten steel Diamond Bar logo that was
included in the Grand Avenue Beautification Design was cut into the sign which
also includes corten steel mountains each of which are pinned on different
planes and backlit so that it is visible at night. There would be concrete obelisks
similar to and reminiscent of the Diamond Bar Ranch entry signage as well as,
stone veneer that would match the Diamond Bar Center steel veneer to unify the
sign with other elements in the City. The planned view of Option 1 shows the
Diamond Bar gateway monument location and would display several other
elements including cattle cutouts.
M/Tye asked if the monument sign would be located where the two poles were
showing.
Ms. Shen responded affirmatively.
Ms. Shen continued stating there will also be oak and walnut trees similar to what
was previously in Diamond Bar. The sign is fairly lower than what was originally
proposed and her firm worked with the City and the Developer to make sure the
signage was not too large on a human scale and that would not impede the
views of the adjacent development.
M/Tye asked if this is the angle he would see as he exited the freeway onto
Diamond Bar Boulevard.
Ms. Shen responded "yes."
Option 2 is the same signage in a different location. Option 2 proposes to bring
the monument further into the park where the user could traverse under the sign
to give one a feeling of entering through a "portal in time" and there would be
interpretive signage to explain the history of Diamond Bar to the visitor. Option 2
includes a DG picnic area.
M/Tye asked if Option 1 would exclude the DG picnic area.
Ms. Shen said a DG picnic area could be in the front.
C/Herrera asked if both options have the cattle in the same location.
Ms. Shen responded "pretty much."
C/Herrera asked if the only difference was that in one option the sign would be
facing one way and in the other option it would be facing more toward Brea
Canyon Road and the freeway.
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 4 CC STUDY SESSION
Ms. Shen responded "right." With Option 1 the sign would be emerging from the
slope. Option 2 would bring the sign over the pathway and the park with
interpretive.
With Option 1 the park users would not really be connected to the sign because it
would be further out.
M/Tye felt that the entry statement is for people to see when they drive by.
Option 2 is more of a park element if you put it over the path.
Ms. Shen said it works as both because when one drives down Diamond Bar
east the sign would be at an angle where it can be seen.
M/Tye asked if it was one of those things where as you drive by it would be "oh,
there it is" versus sitting at the signal and viewing the sign in Option 1.
CM/DeStefano said the sign would be visible under both options.
Ms. Shen reiterated that the signage and panels will be backlit similar to images
shown. While it will be visible at night it will not be too intrusive.
C/Lin asked where the backlight would be.
Ms. Shen responded that the corten steel windmill logo will be on a different
plane from the signage in the back and the mountain and text will be backlit. She
showed an example of low ground grass cover as well as oak and walnut trees
architecture. She showed examples of the cattle cutouts which is a one-
dimensional corten steel cutout.
C/Herrera asked if the steel gets rusty over time.
Ms. Shen said it comes with a kind of rusted look.
CDD/Gubman said the corten steel is the same material as was used for the new
monument signs. When the patina establishes on corten steel it preserves the
rusted look without further deterioration.
C/Herrera said that in 1966 there were long -horned cattle on the ranch and
asked if they could be incorporated.
C/Lin said the cattle need the Diamond Bar logo.
C/Herrera said "like a brand."
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 5 CC STUDY SESSION
C/Lin said the sign was 20 feet tall and almost two -stories wide and wondered if it
was too big.
Ms. Shen said that the story poles were erected in order to get a sense of the
size. Originally, the sign was 26 feet and was a little bit too big in relation to an
individual walking on the sidewalk. The sign was lowered to about 20 feet 6
inches and there was general consensus that the scale was adequate. When
one is driving by on the road at high speed the driver does not see something
that is only 15 feet high for example.
M/Tye said that the current monument signs at Grand Avenue and the SR60 at
the southern most part of town coming from Brea are small monument signs
which are hidden by plants.
C/Lin said he would not want the sign to be a distraction for drivers, especially at
night because it is backlit.
Ms. Shen reiterated that it would be a low backlit light and she did not believe it
would be much of a distraction. As one travels at those speeds they would want
to see the signage.
C/Lin said he liked Option 1 better.
M/Tye said he agreed with C/Lin and that he likes it more as an entry statement
than a treatment in the park. However, as CM/DeStefano said, the sign would be
seen either way.
Both C/Herrera and C/Tanaka said they liked Option 1.
M/Tye said he is not crazy about the cows but he is open to them.
CM/DeStefano suggested the cows be left in and if after that the Council still did
not like the cows they could be taken out.
M/Tye said he liked C/Lin's idea of putting the City's logo on the cows.
C/Herrera said "as a brand."
CM/DeStefano asked if the City Council was comfortable with Option 1.
CDD/Gubman put up a visual of Option 1 and Option 2 to show that both would
be visible to motorists as they approached.
M/Tye said he understood they were both visible but only one is perpendicular to
the roadway.
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 6 CC STUDY SESSION
CM/DeStefano said he heard opinions for Option 1 and if Council wishes, staff
will move forward to work out the details with Lennar and proceed with
construction. City Council Members concurred.
M/Tye asked if the picnic area can be done also because he likes the picnic area.
CM/DeStefano said that the DG Picnic area would be added as a component of
Option 1 with the sign perpendicular to the roadway with the picnic area added.
C/Lin asked if anyone could access the park from the street.
CM/DeStefano responded "yes."
C/Lin asked if because the park was open it would present a security problem.
CDD/Gubman said no, the park would be fenced in.
CM/DeStefano said people can access from Brea Canyon Road.
C/Lin asked if people could access the park from Diamond Bar Boulevard.
CM/DeStefano said not from Diamond Bar Boulevard.
SP/Lee said there is pedestrian access from Diamond Bar Boulevard.
M/Tye said he would consider the cows to be an attractive nuisance.
CM/DeStefano said it was really no different from any other amenity or
appurtenance whether it is to the entrance signs, cougar, cell sites in parks, etc.
it is in that same category and the City is safeguarded through its insurance
provider. While it has a possibility of being vandalized staff will stay on top of
those issues as it continues to do so throughout the City.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to come before the City Council,
M/Tye adjourned the Study Session at 6:28 p.m.

MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MAY 19, 2015
STUDY SESSION:
6:00 p.m., Room CC-8
► Conceptual Design for City Entry Sign located on Diamond Bar Boulevard
at Brea Canyon Road — Discussion and Action.
Public Comments: None
Study Session Adjourned: 6:28 p.m. to Regular City Council Meeting
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Tye called the Regular City Council meeting to
order at 6:33 p.m. in the South Coast Air Quality Management District/Government
Center Auditorium, 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA.
CM/DeStefano stated that during tonight's Study Session the City Council looked at a
proposed landmark entry feature at the intersection of Diamond Bar Boulevard and Brea
Canyon Road. This is a component of the Site D/Lennar Homes/Willow Heights Project
and Lennar is obligated to establish a landmark entry feature at their cost. A team was
formed comprised of Ruth Low, Planning Commission Chairwoman, City staff members
and designers to create this landmark entry feature. The City Council looked at two
options and selected Option 1 (shown on the overhead) with one handwritten change.
The Council is seeking a sign perpendicular to Diamond Bar Boulevard just east of the
flood control channel on Diamond Bar Boulevard. As a result of the combination of the
two options, the Council added an area to sit near the sign. The rendering is shown
without the landscaping and the sign incorporates a variety of elements that reflect an
historic foundation of the community, mimicking the sign that once existed nearby for
entry into the Diamond Bar Ranch. There are corten steel cattle cutouts that have been
added gracefully meandering in the areas below the new homes and this sign will be
constructed soon after details are completed with Lennar Homes and staff. This sign
incorporates a variety of the elements that Council previously approved for the Grand
Avenue Beautification Project which is scheduled to commence soon including the sign
identity with the windmill, etc.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Ed Hilden, WVWD Director, led the Pledge of
Allegiance.
INVOCATION: Monsignor James Loughnane, St. Denis Catholic
Church gave the invocation.
ROLL CALL: Council Members Herrera, Lin, Tanaka, and Mayor
Tye.

Directors Carrera, Hilden, Kwong and Wu.
BUSINESS OF THE MONTH:
1.2 M/Tye presented a City Tile to Grant Kim, CEO of QTC, a Lockheed
Martin Company, 21700 Copley Drive, Suite 200 for May 2015.
2. CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
CM/DeStefano stated that residents may have seen an increase in the number of
fire trucks from Los Angeles County as well as from other outside agencies, the
use of helicopters, etc. particularly in the Tres Hermanos/Tonner Canyon area.
This is all a part of the annual multi -jurisdictional fire training exercise that takes
place within Tonner Canyon. This exercise has been ongoing for several years
and coincidentally, it was a huge asset during the Triangle Complex fire in 2008
when part of the training exercise of the various departments was successfully
deployed in fighting that fire and keeping it from damaging even more properties
as it spread from Orange County into Los Angeles County. This three day test
started yesterday and will conclude tomorrow. Most of LA County's activity and
management of the effort took place yesterday. The drill takes place from 9:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and there are no homes on fire — this is only a drill. Yesterday,
staff participated in the exercise and initiated the City's Emergency Operation
Center and broke into various teams necessary to respond to emergencies such
as a wildland fire through the Tonner Canyon area. Staff took part in various
exercises of fires coming toward Diamond Bar, relocating thousands of people
from southerly Diamond Bar, dealing with potential home fires, dealing with
congested roadway systems, coordinating with other agencies (Red Cross,
Sheriff's, Fire, etc) and used the opportunity to send out a reverse 911 message
to all who subscribe to remind them that an exercise was underway and that
should a real emergency occur they would be notified accordingly. The event
presented a great opportunity for staff to work together and with public safety
providers in the Emergency Operations Center.
MAY 19, 2015
PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
CM/DeStefano spoke about the components of the new entry sign at Diamond
Bar Boulevard and Brea Canyon Road which incorporates several elements the
Council approved for the Grand Avenue Beautification Project. Residents and
business operators may have seen the signs go up indicating that the project is
scheduled to commence on May 20 and run through the end of August. The
primary activities will be in the area of Longview Drive at Grand Avenue and
Diamond Bar Boulevard at Grand Avenue. Residents and visitors will see a
significant change incorporating many new elements that will, over time, be
carried through all intersections in the City and in particular, its key entry points.
CM/DeStefano commented that WVWD President Ted Ebenkamp spoke earlier
this evening about the mandatory cutbacks of 25 percent water usage beginning
June 1. The City Council has been made aware of the City's efforts to reduce
water use over the last several months. In response to the Water District's
mandatory conservation measures that were announced about a week ago, all
irrigation systems for landscaping at City facilities have been reduced to two days
per week with no more than 15 minutes of watering per time station. Staff is
developing plans for elimination of the irrigation for the turf areas along major
boulevards, the first of which is Diamond Bar Boulevard where the City has
applied to the Metropolitan Water District for their $2.00 per square foot rebate.
The City will use the rebate to remove the turf and landscape it with drought
tolerant plantings. In the meantime, the medians will turn brown. Staff is looking
at medians primarily on Golden Springs Drive that are irrigated with reclaimed
water which are not affected by state and local mandates; however, upon further
investigation, the City may reduce water usage in those areas as well.
CM/DeStefano stated that the weekly Chino Hills Champion newspaper is widely
distributed to residents and business operators in the cities of Chino and Chino
Hills and a story was published that talked about the Tres Hermanos property.
The story erroneously talks about the number of dwelling units that might be
constructed within the City of Diamond Bar's portion of the Tres Hermanos
Ranch which is the area between Diamond Bar and Chino Hills north and south
of Grand Avenue. The property is about 2100 acres of which 700 lies within
Diamond Bar. The Chino Hills Champion story erroneously indicated that
Diamond Bar would permit up to 5,000 homes and 10 acres of retail development
on that property which is absolutely not the case and is completely inaccurate.
To be absolutely clear and transparent, there are 720 acres within Diamond Bar's
portion of the Tres Hermanos Ranch and based upon Diamond Bar's existing
zoning, a maximum 628 homes could theoretically be built.
C/Herrera asked what number residents can call to register their cell phone
numbers on the list to receive emergency alerts from the City of Diamond Bar.
CM/DeStefano responded that the easiest number to call is 909-839-7000 to be
routed to the appropriate person depending on the nature of the call. In addition,
if individuals have existing records they can edit their notification information
online.
MAY 19, 2015
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL
Ben Wong, Southern California Edison, referred residents to the company
website www.edison.com/community to review the company's 2014 Community
Investment Report (copies provided to Council). In 2014 Edison International
donated $20 million of shareholder dollars. Not a penny of the dollars individuals
pay for electricity goes into the donations that are given back to the community.
Another $2.6 million came from direct donations of Edison employees who also
volunteered 200,000 hours valued at a little over $4 million of community impact.
Edison specializes in giving to education and the good news is that earlier this
year 30 deserving students from about 2800 high school student applicants who
applied for an Edison Public Scholar Program will receive a $40,000 scholarship
payable at $10,000 per year over four years. One of the recipients is a Diamond
Bar High School student. In addition, a Diamond Bar resident who attends
Walnut High School received one of the $40,000 scholarships.
M/Tye thanked Mr. Wong and Edison for the dollars and hours the company

Anna Smith updated the Council on the status of the Diamond Bar Relay for Life
and thanked the Council for loaning the event canopies and a stage. While

the Town Purple" this Thursday. Both school districts are allowing purple ribbons
to be placed on the schools. She thanked staff for the suggestion and for
allowing banners to be placed at four of the City parks. Flyers will be posted
around town and information is being broadcast on the Diamond Bar public
stations. In spite of these things that are being done participation is very low.

M/Tye suggested and the Council agreed to move 7.1(b) to the beginning
to provide residents present tonight to speak on this item and not have to
wait. Council concurred.
MAY 19, 2015
PAGE 7 CITY COUNCIL
(b) ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015-20: LEVYING AN
ASSESSMENT ON LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 39 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015-16.
C/Lin stated that he lives within District No. 39 and therefore recused
himself from consideration of Item 7.1 (b) and left the dais.
PWD/Liu stated that the proposed assessment for the lots within
District No. 39 is $236 per year.
CSD/Rose reported that a landscape assessment district is an area of
the community or the City that is established by the property owners to
pay for landscaping and lighting improvements that benefit the property
owners located within the neighborhood or district. An assessment
district is typically established concurrently with a new housing tract
prior to any homes being sold. LLAD No. 39 was established in 1985
before the City incorporated by the neighborhood developers of M J
Brock and Sons and Bramalea Limited with approval from the LA
County Board of Supervisors.
M/Tye asked for confirmation that this LLAD was established by the
property owners at the time and not the homeowners.
CSD/Rose responded "yes."
LLAD stands for Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District. The
name comes from state law "The Landscaping and Lighting Act of
1972 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California" that
authorizes property owners to set up this method of collecting funds to
pay for the maintenance and operation of landscaping and lighting
improvements in their neighborhood or district. Funds are collected
each year through the property owner's annual property tax bill.
Residents are charged on their annual property tax bill per parcel
(land/home built on the land or parcel). In 1985 the assessment was
set at $236 per year by the LA County Board of Supervisors. In 1990
the assessment was lowered to $130 by the Diamond Bar City Council.
Staff is recommending that the assessment be returned to the previous
high of $236 per year.
M/Tye asked CSD/Rose to share with the public why the assessment
was reduced from $236 that was established in 1985 to $130 in 1990.
CSD/Rose explained that when the district was formed it had a
significant surplus of additional funds available for additional
improvements in the district and over the years these funds were used
in the district to pay for different improvements. The assessment was
lowered to $130 in 1990 when the City Council realized that the
MAY 19, 2015
PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
amount of surplus funds that had been collected would pay for the
services provided by the district for some time going forward.
However, to date, those surplus funds have been completely
exhausted.
M/Tye asked if it was required by the state law that the assessment be
lowered.
CSD/Rose said that M/Tye was correct in that the law states that only
the funds necessary to operate the district should be collected.
CSD/Rose continued his presentation using a map outlining the
district. He further stated that there is an Edison Easement running
through the middle of Diamond Bar and through the middle of LLAD
No. 39. The map shows what is north of the Edison easement which
lies roughly east of Diamond Bar Boulevard to the City limit; north of
Grand Avenue to about Pantera Park, and south of Grand Avenue to
Rimford Place. Some of the improvements in the northern portion of
the easement include Silver Tip Park, a fire brushing area at Newberry
Way which creates a fire break between the homes and natural areas,
and Summitridge Drive at Cold Stream representative of landscape
slopes. South of the Edison easement lies east of Grand Avenue to a
large open space that runs east to Summitridge Park and Summitridge
Drive. The homes south of the easement reside from about
Summitridge Drive to the east city limits and at the south of Grand
Avenue from The Country Estates to the city limits. Improvements
south of the Edison Easement include Stardust Park, a fire brushing
area at Longview Court and Longview Drive and a landscape slope at
Longview Drive at Rustic Court.
Costs included in operation of District No. 39 are utilities for water and
Edison costs for the irrigation system, maintenance of grounds (as
needed repairs and maintenance including tree trimming and fire
breaks), engineer reports, public notices required by state law,
administration and inspection required reports and inspection of the
maintenance work, and the largest expense is the landscape
maintenance contract (routine maintenance performed on a regular
schedule for the slopes, landscaped areas and the parks).
Other costs bourne by the district are for park improvements including
Longview Park North new play equipment and rubber surfacing which
was installed in the tot lot in 2001; Silver Tip Park was renovated in
2012; and, scheduled for 2015 is the Longview Park South renovation.
60 acres of property are maintained by the district and 38 of those
acres are brushed annually for the fire break.
MAY 19, 2015
PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
In 1990 the maintenance categories totaled $139,692 and in 2015 the
number has increased to $298,782 which represents a 114 percent
increase. Over the years as more homes were built by Bramalea the
number of homes went from 796 in the early 90's to 1,251 by the mid-
90's and with more homes came more assessment collection which
helped pay for rising costs. This also increased the revenue by almost
$60,000 per year from $103,000 to $162,000 per year. In 1990 there
was a total of $110,000 in the LLAD No. 39 reserves. Those funds
were gradually spent until the funds were exhausted and the reserves
were spent on routine maintenance which had to be done before an
annual assessment increase could be considered.
Since 2006 District No. 39 costs have been subsidized from the City's
General Fund and the administration and inspection costs have been
paid from the General Fund since 2006 starting at $9,700 per year and
have grown to $12,035 in 2015. All other District No. 39 costs have
been subsidized by the General Fund since 2008. The first year of
subsidy in 2008 was $36,695 and has grown to $116,237 in 2015.
Over the past 10 years the General Fund has subsidized District No.
39 in the amount of $759,542.
Consideration for District No. 39 is that if the City were to retain the
$130 annual assessment going forward, in FY 2015-16 the General
Fund subsidy would need to be $136,152. If the assessment is
increased to $236 per staff's recommendation, the General Fund
subsidy is reduced down to $3,546. In light of these facts, staff's
recommendation is to return the annual assessment to the historical
high for LLAD District No. 39 to $236 per parcel per year from the
current $130 per parcel per year.
CM/DeStefano reminded the City Council that this is a Public Hearing
item. Since this is a proposed increased in the assessment, 1300
notices were mailed to homeowners on Friday, May 1 for tonight's
hearing.
M/Tye asked if each item should be considered separately.
CM/DeStefano said that each item should be done separately.
M/Tye opened the Public Hearing.
Pearl Sansone has lived in her property for more than 25 years. Her
salary has not increased by 114 percent and she has reached her
retirement age but continues to work to pay for her property taxes.
She believes this proposal is untimely and unfair. She asked why the
property owners in District No. 39 pay $15 to District No. 38. How
many years will they have to pay this amount and will District No. 39
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
face another increase if the assessment for District No. 38 is
increased. She strongly opposes the increase and felt it would place a
great financial burden on many hardworking taxpayers in Diamond
Bar.
Abraham Tsai has resided in Diamond Bar for 22 years and he asked
why the sudden increase and said that if this is a property tax on
homeowners it should be subject to Proposition 13.
John Martin, a Diamond Bar resident for 43 years said in light of the
drought issues and water cutbacks and because there are acres and
acres of grass in District No. 39, going beyond the tax raise is the City
Council or staff or anyone else looking at the parks, water and
maintenance issues to see what can be done to make them more
efficient. The actual $2 per square foot for renovation is wonderful and
it is a great window of opportunity for the City.
Eddie Wong, a resident since 1985, felt the increase was unfair and
why the City waited until 2015 to implement the increase. Secondly,
he feels that a lot of residents are middle class working people like he
is and he does not believe it is fair for them to pay the higher
assessment.
Bruce Liu, a resident living in District No. 39 since 2010 noticed that
the property tax he pays compared to the previous owner is more than
doubled which he felt was true for other residents as well who were
creating a lot more tax for the community. Since the overall tax
increased so much why is there no money to cover expenses?
M/Tye closed the Public Hearing.
C/Herrera said that some residents asked why the City is raising the
assessment now and she believed staff had shown that over 10 years
$760,000 has come out of the City's General Fund to pay for the
expenses of District No. 39. The district is in a deficit and that is the
reason the assessment is being considered to be raised. She believes
it is important for the City's budget to be manageable and when a
certain area is draining the budget inordinately, the City needs to take
action to put it back in balance. So when the time is appropriate, she
is prepared to make a motion.
C/Tanaka commented that over the years the City has been
subsidizing District No. 39 and there were many attempts over the past
several years to bring this matter up and that it has taken several years
to get to this point. For the City to continue as it has been the whole
district would be turned upside down and the City is trying to cover the
cost for the district from the property owners within the district.
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL
M/Tye asked CM/DeStefano to address other speakers' questions.
CM/DeStefano responded to speakers that this is the first time the City
has considered establishing the assessment back to its original
amount of $236 since establishment of the district in 1985. This is an
$8.83 per month increase per parcel attempting to, at a bare minimum,
catch up from 25 years at the prior rate of $130.
District 38 that was mentioned is the Citywide Lighting and Landscape
Assessment District. All parcels within the City pay $15 each into that
district. That is the district that operates and maintains the medians
throughout the City. One speaker asked whether or not that
assessment amount would be increasing and the answer is "no."
There are no discussions about increasing the assessment and there
are no plans for an increase in the $15 citywide levy within District No.
38.
The increase is not subject to Proposition 13 — it is subject to other
measures that have been passed by the voters over the year but as
the Mayor indicated this is not an increase beyond what was legally
established back in 1985. This is a recommendation by the staff to
bring the assessment back to the original historic high of $236 per
parcel per year.
One speaker commented about the increase in his property tax since
he purchased his home in Diamond Bar. The City of Diamond Bar has
not increased taxes at all. Other taxing entities have increased taxes
through voter approved measures.
M/Tye said that if he paid $200,000 for his home and sold it for
$800,000 the person who purchased his home for $800,000 would
have his assessed at a higher value and pay property taxes based on
the purchase amount. If an individual moved to Diamond Bar in 2010
and pays the increased property tax to the county it does not change
what he as a new homeowner in 2010 would have been paying for
LLAD No. 39.
CM/DeStefano concurred further stating that the LLAD's have a fixed
rate which has not changed.
C/Herrera said she knows this is a difficult issue but it is imperative to
stop the drain on the City's General Fund.
C/Tanaka reminded everyone that this assessment is a direct benefit
to the property owners within that district.
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL
M/Tye further explained that the subsidy of more than $700,000 over
the last 10 years benefited 1251 property owners. To C/Herrera's
point earlier about making sure the City's budget can be appropriately
allocated, the City simply cannot continue to subsidize 1251 property
owners or the City would slowly go broke.
C/Herrera moved, C/Tanaka seconded, to Adopt Resolution No. 2015-
20: Levying an Assessment of $236 per parcel per year on
Landscaping Assessment District No. 39 for Fiscal Year 2015-16.

(a) ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015-21: LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT
ON LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 38 FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2015-16.
PWD/Liu stated that for District No. 38 the total FY 2015-16 Operation
and Maintenance budget is $456,119. A proposed levy rate of $15 per
parcel will generate $268,305 in assessed revenue. The assessment
rate remains the same as the rate that applied at the date of the City's
incorporation. For FY 2015-16 $187,814 of the General Fund will
subsidize the Operation and Maintenance costs in District No. 38. The
landscaping improvements to be maintained by District No. 38 include
the parkways and the medians throughout the City which reflects a
total maintenance area over slightly more than 10 acres. The
estimated number of parcels within District No. 38 is 17,887. Staff
therefore recommends that the assessment of $15 for each
assessable lot within District No. 38 to be confirmed and that the
Resolution Levying an Assessment for FY 2015-16 be adopted by the
City Council.
M/Tye opened the Public Hearing.
With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, M/Tye closed
the Public Hearing.

(c) ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015-22: LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT
ON LANDSCAPING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 41 FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2015-16.
PWD/Liu stated that for District No. 41 the total FY 2015-16 Operation
and Maintenance expense budget is $213,529. The proposed levy
rate of $220.50 per parcel will generate $122,157 in assessment
revenue. This is the same rate that has applied since Diamond Bar's
incorporation. As a result of this assessment, $86,372 of the City's
General Fund will be needed to subsidize the Operation and
Maintenance costs in District No. 41. The landscaping improvements
within District No. 41 are the slopes and open space areas which
reflects a total maintenance area of almost 16 acres. The estimated
number of parcels within the district is 554 parcels. Staff recommends
that the assessment amount of $220.50 for each assessable lot within
District 41 be confirmed and that the Resolution Levying an
Assessment on Landscaping Assessment District No. 41 for Fiscal
Year 2015-16 be adopted by the City Council.

COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE
REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Tanaka reported that on Thursday, May 7 he attended the Walnut Valley
Educational Foundation Gala where individuals and groups were recognized for
their contributions to the students of WVUSD. That Sunday he attended the
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 14 CITY COUNCIL
Diamond Bar Performing Arts Handbell Choir Concert at the Diamond Bar High
School Theater and reported on the concert events. On May 11 he joined
residents on Twin Pines for their Neighborhood Watch meeting. He thanked
Volunteer Patrol Members who attended tonight's meeting. On May 12 he
attended the Los Angeles County Junior Fair Board Leadership Program Awards
Dinner at the Fairplex Conference Center. On Sunday, May 17 he attended the
Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Benjamin Lundblade of Troop 730. Saturday,
June 6 is the 10t" Annual Diamond Bar Relay for Life at Lorbeer Middle School.
He requested that this meeting be adjourned in memory of long time Diamond
Bar resident Stella Hatzfeld.
C/Lin said he too attended the Walnut Valley Educational Foundation Banquet on
May 7 and was thrilled to see so many residents concerned about ongoing
education. He stated that the Congress failed to pass a new transportation bill
again this year so the City is back to square one and is challenged to find a big
chunk of money to improve the SR57/60 Big Fix. We look forward to next year
when we may have better luck.
C/Herrera attended the Contract Cities Conference in Indian Wells last week.
She felt it was important for Council Members to continue their education about
what is relevant for cities and what new things are happening that benefit cities.
She felt the most valuable workshop of the conference was the one on
Emergency Preparedness and Are You Ready? There were outstanding
speakers including Chief Darrell Osby, LA County Fire and Chris Jeffers, City
Manager from Glendora who spoke about the Colby Fire that occurred a couple
of years ago. What is significant about that event for residents of Diamond Bar is
that there are 8,000 acres of undeveloped land that surrounds the City and
because this is a very dry period fire danger will remain high. Comforting to her
was that there were 26 different agencies that came to Glendora and the
surrounding area to help put out that fire. Also discussed was the subject of
earthquakes and what is happening in Kathmandu Nepal and not if but when a
major earthquake will occur in southern California. One speaker was from the LA
County Department of Public Works who said that the county has major
equipment to help move items, clear roadways and what is important about that
issue to Diamond Bar is that the City has three major bridges throughout the City
that will likely collapse and block the roadways in the event of a major
earthquake. There was an individual from California Edison who spoke about in
the event of a major earthquake many of the Edison towers would collapse and
that everyone should be prepared to be without electricity for several days. The
speakers talked about the importance of everyone being self-sufficient for at least
72 hours and have enough food and water on hand to survive and to have a plan
with family members to remain in communication which means that people will
have to depend on cell towers. While phone calls may not be possible texting
will possibly go through. Cell towers will become very important in the southern
California area as the state and cities prepare. Attendees received a copy of the
County of Los Angeles Emergency Survival Guide which offers a lot of great and
important information and she asked staff if the guide could be uploaded onto the
MAY 19, 2015 PAGE 15 CITY COUNCIL
City's website and have it available for residents to download.
M/Tye asked everyone to please do everything within their power to conserve
water. There is nothing more important than to preserve this very rare and
precious commodity. He attended the Contract Cities Annual Municipal Seminar
with C/Herrera and listened to the Disaster Preparedness and Economic
Development workshops. He believes there are terrific opportunities to look at
things differently and see how the City might take advantage of those
opportunities to make Diamond Bar a better community. He attended the Walnut
Valley Educational Foundation Night and saw individuals and organizations
honored and realized that the foundation is busy raising money for mini -grants for
teachers to spend in their classrooms. The foundation gives thousands of dollars
to the teachers. His wife is a teacher at Diamond Ranch High School and many
times he wonders if his family can afford for her to be a teacher because she
spends so much of her own money in the classroom. He hoped that everyone
would have a very happy and safe Memorial Day on Monday and take a minute
to remember those who have passed before us that gave the ultimate sacrifice in
service.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Tye adjourned the
City Council Meeting at 8:03 p.m. in memory of longtime Diamond Bar resident Stella
Hatzfeld.

one hundred percent of the proceeds are directly deposited to the City's General Fund
for discretionary use for public safety programs, road maintenance, and other
services. During FY 2013-14, fines paid totaled about $222,000. For FY 2014-15, it
is estimated that approximately $230,000 in fines will be collected.

ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS:
C/Pechy stated that he noticed a number of business signs that are written in a
foreign language only and wanted to know the City's position. PWD/Liu said his
understanding is that foreign language signs are permitted; however, the City strongly
encourages, that businesses provide signage in English as well. He said he would
follow up with the City's Planning Department and provide a more complete response
at the next meeting.
C/Sulakhe reported that today it was a very smooth drive for her from south to north
Diamond Bar, which was not the case on Monday. She realized after the fact if she
had gone onto Diamond Bar Buzz, she would have known not to travel the area.
APRIL 9, 2015 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION
Chair/Carrera asked if the flashing red lights at the intersection of Diamond Bar
Boulevard and Maple Hill Road was a result of a power failure or construction on
Diamond Bar Boulevard. AE/Beshay reported that it was a result of an Edison
planned power outage. Chair/Car'rera said he thought Edison chose the worst time
because it was still flashing red about 5:00 p.m. AE/Beshay indicated the work was
supposed to be finished earlier; however, the crew ran late due to unforeseen
conditions in the field.
Vill. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
A. Edison Upgrades at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue —
AE/Beshay reported that all electrical work has been completed. There is a
small amount of restoration work to be done around the last vault on Diamond
Bar Boulevard as well as removal of the underground service alert markings
along Diamond Bar Boulevard.
C/Pechy asked if after the work is completed, the City sends someone out to
inspect the patch job that has been done on the street. AE/Beshay responded
"yes." C/Pechy said that he was at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue
today and he was not overly impressed with the work that was done by Edison
and the contractor. SCE/Young explained that the City gave permission for
Edison to leave all of the trench work within the Grand Avenue Beautification
Project limits as base paving because the City will grind the entire intersection
during the beautification project as well as each leg of the intersection up to the
first driveway. Everything outside of the beautification project limit had to be
final paved.
C/Sulakhe asked if there was a checklist. SCE/Young replied that for all
encroachment permit work by utility companies and private contractors, the
Public Works Street Maintenance Superintendent is responsible for finalizing
the permits and if there are any deficiencies and if the Superintendent is not
happy with the paving, he will require that the issues be corrected to meet the
quality of work expected by the City of Diamond Bar. AE/Beshay further
explained that there is a punch list of items that is generated to address issues
that must be corrected.
B. Reagan/Peterson Park Parking Lot Construction Project — AE/Beshay
reported that the project is still under design. Also, staff is in the process of
obtaining a permit from L.A. County Flood Control to connect the proposed bio-
filtration system into the L.A. County catch basin. The construction phase is
scheduled to start at the end of June, after Father's Day.
C/Pechy asked if the baseball fields at the end of Sunset Crossing Road were
City -owned or private property. PWD/Liu responded that it is private property.
APRIL 9, 2015 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION
C. Morning Canyon Rehabilitation Project — AE/Mosley explained that this
project is being redesigned. The redesign includes minimizing the roadway
width by eight feet to widen the parkway to accommodate tree root growth. As
a result, parking along the street would be impacted. The Community Services
Department is reaching out to the condominium homeowner's association to
receive input toward the project's design. With the elimination of street
parking, staff wants to make sure the association is on board with the project.
Staff is waiting to hear back from the association and hopes to have a meeting
with the board members to discuss the design.
Chair/Carrera asked how dependent the homeowners are on the- street
parking. AE/Mosley explained that part of the reason staff has reached out to
the homeowners is to answer this and other questions and concerns. He said
he does not believe that any condo complex would be happy about losing
parking. Staff has explored alternative parking between the northern and
southern portion of Morning Canyon Road to include both condo associations
along the project limits.
VC/Mok asked if staff had the dates of both association meetings. AE/Mosley
reiterated that the Community Services Department is dealing with the property
management group and to date, staff has not heard back from the property
management group or been made aware of any dates that are available for
presenting the design information and receiving feedback.
C/Sulakhe was unclear if it had already been explained and asked if parking
spaces were being lost. AE/Mosley restated that the proposed design would
extend the parkway eight feet so that the curb face would be moved inward
eight feet. This would result in a loss of street parking.
D. Area 3 Road Maintenance Project —AE/Mosley conveyed that, as part of the
City's seven year Roadway Maintenance Program, this year includes the Area
3 Roadway Maintenance Project. The project lies within the boundary
bordered by Pathfinder Road to the southern portion of the City limits on both
sides of Diamond Bar Boulevard, excluding The Country Estates. The project
is out to bid with a bid opening scheduled for April 20t'. The goal is to begin
construction in early June and have the work completed prior to the beginning
of the school year (mid -August).
E. Comprehensive Groundwater Drainage Study —AE/Mosley explained that
the purpose of the study is to develop a comprehensive plan to address
groundwater and surface area drainage at several locations through the City.
Recently, there was a contract amendment with Tait & Associates to include
geotechnical services at an additional location for a total of 11 locations
throughout the City. Once this area is included in the study, staff will review
the findings and use the study to continue to address groundwater at each
location.
APRIL 9, 2015 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION
F. Gas Company Upgrades at Golden Springs Drive and Grand Avenue —
AE/Mosley stated that this project is on hold. The Gas Company asked to
meet with staff to study the City's restoration requirements. No date has been
set and since it is a Gas Company project, staff will wait for their contact.
G. Grand Avenue Beautification Project - SCE/Young conveyed that the pre -
construction meeting for this project is scheduled for the afternoon of
Thursday, April 16th. Staff anticipates construction will begin in mid to late
May and wanted to have the pre -construction meeting early enough to provide
time to iron out details prior to the start date to avoid further postponements.
Staff and the City's consultants met with Caltrans regarding construction
oversight yesterday to review federal funding requirements that need to be met
during construction. It is essential to ensure that the federal funding will not be
jeopardized at any time during construction. The meeting was very productive
and staff as well as the consultants are on board to move forward with
construction.
Chair/Carrera asked about the percentage of federal funding. SCE/Young
responded that the City has just under $700,000 for SAFETEA-LU funds and
just over $300,000 of STPL funds, which is about 50 percent funded via federal
funds.
H. Lemon Avenue Interchange Project — SCE/Young indicated that staff
continues to work on revisions that were requested by Caltrans. The latest
revisions are to encase two existing waterlines along Lemon Avenue. Walnut
Valley Water District is working on processing a change order to their contracts
so that this can be addressed to resolve most of the utility issues. Once
complete, staff can submit the plans to the Office of the Engineer by the end of
April.
Willow Heights Construction Update — SCE/Young reported that progress is
being made toward the Grand Opening, which is scheduled for Saturday, April
18th. Staff anticipates that the developer, Lennar, will have their Certificates of
Occupancy for the model homes. There are three products in the community
including the Viridian product, a single family home; the Sage product, which is
a detached cluster home; and, the Olive Crest, which is attached
condominiums. The Grand Opening will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m. All parking will be at Diamond Bar High School and shuttle service will be
provided by Lennar to and from the parking lot. Refreshments will be served, a
DJ will provide music, and a face painter will be present. Lennar will also
provide shuttle service between the three products, since they are spaced out
along the entire site. However unlikely, staff is hoping the traffic signal at
Cherrydale Drive will be energized. Edison has additional paperwork that is
required before the traffic signal can be energized. If the signal is not
energized, Lennar has been asked to prohibit left turns in and out of the
development. The left turn pocket has been constructed and it is coned off
and by the end of today, "no -left -turn" signs will also be installed. On the day of
the event, Lennar may reach out to the Sheriff's Department for traffic control.
APRIL 9, 2015 PAGE 6 T&T COMMISSION
The formal invitations have gone out to 2000 individuals on their interest list;
therefore, a large crowd is anticipated. Final paving will take place tomorrow
and once the traffic signal is energized, crosswalk striping will be installed.
Additional widening needs to be done over the channel and along Brea
Canyon Road; therefore, with this additional street work, new striping may be
required.
Chair/Carrera asked if Lennar was ahead of schedule in construction.
SCE/Young said she could not comment on their schedule.
C/Sulakhe asked if the Open House would continue beyond April 18'n
SCE/Young responded that she understood the models will be open for public
viewing within their operating hours. C/Sulakhe then asked if construction
would continue. SCE/Young replied that only the model homes have been
constructed. Lennar continues to pull permits to build homes and they are
currently on Phase 3 or Phase 4 of each product. The City is issuing finals and
Certificates of Occupancy for the models only at this time. Phase 1 for each
product has not yet been finalized.
C/Pechy asked about the difference between an attached family home and
condominium unit. SCE/Young explained that the detached cluster home is
essentially a detached condo. If one purchases a detached cluster home, the
air space is owned but not a parcel of land. The attached condo is a unit
where only the air space is owned but each resident shares a wall with a
neighbor. The only product which would include a land lot is the single family
residential product (Viridian).
J. City Council FY 2015-16 Goals and Objectives — PWD/Liu provided the
Commissioners with a copy of the City Council's FY 2015-16 Goals and
Objectives. At its March 31d Study Session, the City Council reviewed the
current FY 2014-15 Goals and Objectives. After consideration, the City
Council reviewed the list and identified items that had been completed and
then directed staff to provide an updated list for approval. Accomplishments
for FY 2014-15 include securing national recognition for the SR-57/60
Confluence Project as part of an effort to secure future funding; completion of
the right-of-way acquisition for the Lemon Avenue Interchange Project;
acquiring the ownership of the Windmill and property on which it sits; and,
commencement of the Grand Avenue Beautification Project. Also, in
May/June, PWD/Liu will bring a report to the City Council and Commission
entitled "Diamond Bar Congestion Report Card" outlining the ongoing
effectiveness of the City's Traffic Management System and traffic mitigation
projects.
PWD/Liu stated that going forward, the City Council Goals and Objectives for
FY 2015-16 format has changed and a number of new goals and objectives
have been stated. The list includes four sections: 1) Traffic Mitigation; 2)
Financial Responsibility and Economic Development; 3) Communications; and,
4) General Items. He read and explained the goals and specific objectives.
APRIL 9, 2015 PAGE 7 T&T COMMISSION
K. Advocacy Trip to Washington D.C. for the SR57/60 Confluence Project —
PWD/Liu explained that this effort began in 2009. On an annual basis,
Diamond Bar and City of Industry travel to Washington D.C. to meet with
congressional members and staff to emphasize the importance of this project.
At a local level, Diamond Bar and the City of Industry have worked closely
togetherwith Metro and Caltrans to push this project forward in order to realize
improvements to the confluence area. This project is identified in the County's
long-range transportation plan; however, funding for the project does not kick
in until 2029. The City of Industry has paid for the design and as part of the
funding strategy determined that the best way to move forward within our
means and resources is to break the project up into phases. The first three
phases are fully funded (about $50 million); however, the remaining phases
require about $200 million from other resources. Statistics and safety issues
prove the seriousness of making these improvements as quickly as possible.
The purpose of this year's meeting was very different in that the main purpose
was to thank them for their support of the TIGER grant application for $10
million, which represents this project is of national significance. For Diamond
Bar and Industry to be awarded this grant is a very big deal. If the USDOT
agrees to fund this project, it means they agree that this project needs help.
When City representatives visited Washington D.C. last year, we were
encouraged by USDOT to give it a try. If the numbers and statistics are so
good, there is a good chance that the grant will be awarded. Congressman
Royce, Congresswoman Napolitano and Congresswoman Chu offered their
support of our application. We presented them with the appreciation plaques
along with a copy of the L.A. Times article announcing Diamond Bar and the
City of Industry receiving the TIGER grant. Councilmember Jimmy Lin and
Industry Mayor Tim Spohn presented the plaques to the three Congressional
members and the two California Senators, and staff at the USDOT office.
Furthermore, we requested that Congress consider and fund a multi -year
transportation legislation. The current transportation bill expires on May 31,
2015. A new bill should finance new freight or goods movement projects such
as the Confluence Project. PWD/Liu went on to remind the Commission about
the information packet he provided to the Commission for the SR-57/60
Confluence Project. That same information packet was provided to the
Congressional members in Washington D.C.
Chair/Carrera stated that, with elimination of the earmarks, it requires an
extraordinary effort to secure the funding now. It will take a continued
concerted effort by the City to secure the funding because otherwise, this
project will fall off of their radar and any money that becomes available will go
elsewhere. It is a vital project for this area.

6.1 Review of Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) -
Conformity with the City's General Plan:
CDD/Gubman reported that staff will be presenting the Fiscal Year 2015-16
budget to the City Council. One significant component of the budget is the
$20 million Capital Improvement Program (CIP) prepared jointly by the Public
Works and Community Services Departments. Before the City Council may
approve the CIP program and thus by extension the entirety of the annual budget,
state law requires that the Planning Commission first find that the program is in
compliance with the goals, objectives, policies and strategies of the City's
General Plan. He introduced PWD/Liu and RS/Murphy to answer any questions
the Commissioners may have about the projects listed in the CIP program list.
SP/Lee presented staffs report which included a summary and overview of each
of the projects proposed under the CIP and recommended Planning Commission
adoption of a Resolution finding the proposed Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Capital
Improvements Program to be in conformance with the City's General Plan.
C/Nishimura asked if the Peterson Park parking lot improvements would include
enhancements to the lights to make it as bright as Pantera Park. RS/Murphey
said that she believed it was enhancements to:the parking lot only. No additional
lighting at this time.
C/Nishimura asked if steps would be added to the upper portion of Steep Canyon
Trail or will a new trail be built and RS/Murphey responded that the project is to
connect Steep Canyon Trail to the Canyon Loop. Once one traverses the canyon
further past the steps it is not part of the project. The portion below is steep and
that is the portion that will be improved.
Chair/Low asked if the City would be addressing the water shortage and the
state's plan to reduce water usage in the City's CIP and General Plan.
CDD/Gubman responded that in the conformity findings staff did not list any
conformity with the water conservation goals, objectives and strategies in the
General Plan. The General Plan has one objective regarding the wise
management of resources and the objective is to reduce water use and employ
low-water infrastructure usage. There are five detailed strategies on how that
usage would be implemented including adoption of the Water Efficient Irrigation
Ordinance which was adopted shortly after the. original General Plan was adopted
and updated in 2010. There are a variety.of strategies requiring California -
friendly drought tolerant landscaping, etc. These are measures that are required
of public and private projects. The projects in the CIP are predominately roadway
maintenance, park play area resurfacing, parking lot resurfacing and renovation
of the Heritage Park Community Center. None of the projects touch on whether
or not they are at odds or in conformance with those policies in the General Plan.
There are no projects such as installing a fountain or proposing a water park at
the Diamond Bar Center or something that would clearly be inappropriate. Staff
did not specifically address their conformity with those goals and objects.
Nonetheless, the City needs to follow what is already mandated in the City's Code
APRIL 14, 2015 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
and the City has no choice but to abide by the guidelines that Walnut Valley Water
District (WVWD) imposes.
Chair/Low asked if the WVWD guidelines come to them from the state of
California or does the state mandate the cities and CDD/Gubman said that the
mandate goes to the water purveyors. There is a requirement for a 25 percent
reduction so WVWD will craft the specific criteria by which the City will need to
abide to meet that mandate.
Chair/Low said she understood these were various improvements that will be
conducted by the City as opposed to private properties. Chair/Low asked if staff
contemplated any private/public partnerships in the coming year such as Lennar
Homes or the school districts. CDD/Gubman said there would be some
improvements at Lorbeer Middle School. The partnership with Lennar involves
the Rain Garden or Botanic Garden as it is now referred to due to the lack of
water, and the landscape plan for the park is to minimize irrigation and to use
nuisance water that runs off of the development off of Ambushers to provide as
much supplemental irrigation as possible.
RS/Murphey explained that funding was received from Lennar Homes for the
Heritage Park improvements to help fund the improvements. In addition, there is
a provision in the Parks Master Plan for development of the middle field at
Lorbeer Middle School and possibly South Pointe Middle School which would
involve updating the Joint Use Agreements. Chair/Low said that those items
would not be reflected in the CIP and RS/Murphey said they would likely be
included in a future CIP.
Chair/Low asked if projects not completed within the designated fiscal year are
carried over to the following year and continued as carryover until completed to
which CDD/Gubman responded affirmatively that there Is a list of carryover
projects in the current CIP.
PWD/Liu stated that the public/private partnership with Lennar Homes listed
under the miscellaneous Public Works Improvements shows the intersection of
Diamond Bar Boulevard at Brea Canyon Road is listed and the developer is
required to put in a number of offsite improvements and more importantly for this
particular intersection, as presented in SP/Lee's report, Lennar was responsible
for one corner of that intersection and the City decided to partner with the
developer to make sure that ultimately, the improvements for that intersection
would contain some of the elements that will be visible in the near future at the
intersections of Grand Avenue/Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand
Avenue/Longview Drive. For example, the decorative traffic signals will be a
contrast to the steel posts that residents are used to seeing in the City and there
01 PLANNING a O .,
will be an interlocking paved crosswalk which will also comport with the Grand
Avenue Beautification projects. Eventually, the City intends to provide these
streetscape improvements citywide. In addition, City staff and the developer.
have worked closely together to make sure the new park will be available to the,
entire community.
Chair/Low asked about the "decorative" light posts. PWD/Liu responded that the
posts are a particular architectural style of distinct color as depicted in the
rendering. The City is moving forward with these decorative intersections at the
three locations which are intended to make a statement that these are important
high volume traffic intersections and that this type of intersection will be the
ultimate "branding" of Diamond Bar throughout the City. Chair/Low said she
noticed that one of the goals was for the public use and public enjoyment of the
City's amenities which includes upgrading crosswalks and bicycle lanes to
enhance physical fitness. If someone were interested in making suggestions for
improvements to the bike lanes to make them safer, how would someone do so?
PWD/Liu suggested that individuals could express their concerns and convey
their suggestions to the Commission. If it is a very specific question that has to
do with enhancements and improvements to the bike lanes, it should be noted
that the City must adhere to certain standards. in terms of safety, staff is open
to suggestions. Chair/Low asked if any of the -proposed improvements are a
result of safety issues that have come to light, such as accidents. PWD/Liu
responded that the ground water drainage study reveals certain hazardous
issues in various areas of the City. Approximately 11 locations were identified
and staff will study these locations to help the City Council make a decision in
terms of priorities and order of addressing specific issues. All 11 locations are
within street areas including the sidewalk areas and between vehicles and
pedestrians, and will need to be addressed in a phased manner. Staff hopes to
be able to address two or three locations at a time over the next five years similar
to the City's strategy for other street improvements.
C/Nishimura moved, VC/Pirritano seconded, to adopt a Resolution finding the
proposed Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Capital Improvements Program to be in
conformance with the City's General Plan. Motion carried by the following Roll

8. PLANNING COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
C/Mahlke invited everyone to attend the Mt. SAC Faculty Fundraiser Show "Putting on
the Hits" on Friday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 25 at 3:00 p.m. (matinee)
and 7:30 p.m. showing where faculty members and student volunteers lip sync, dance
and perform to music from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's to current. C/Mahlke said she
would be performing. This event raises about $10,000 for student scholarships and
offers students opportunities to stay in school. Mt. SAC is a college that has
independent certification programs that allow individuals to leave the institution with well -
paying and benefited jobs. Join in for a lot of fun and the opportunity to make fun of a
colleague.
VC/Pirritano reminded the Commission about Golfing for Kids on May 11 at the Western
Hills Country Club. Lunch will be available and donations can be made onsite. This
event raises about $30,000 annually and the funds are used for scholarships to benefit
the children in Diamond Bar. Lunch is $30 and a silent auction and raffles will be
available. The event starts at 9:00 a.m. and continues to about 3:00 p.m. Dignitaries
and celebrities including Congressman Royce and Scott Baio are expected to attend.
C/Nishimura thanked CDD/Gubman for responding to his questions regarding
subdivision maps. He complimented the City's graffiti abatement team. He hikes the
City often and last week he discovered graffiti on a couple of benches on Steep Canyon
Trail. The next day when he hiked the area the graffiti was gone. Today there was a
contractor in his neighborhood who was dumping waste water into the street after
plastering a pool. C/Nishimura called the City and received a quick response from the
staff member who said he was educating the contractor and homeowner. C/Nishimura
complimented the staff for a quick response and follow up.
Chair/Low thanked staff for a great job and reminded everyone that the Wine Soiree is.
April 26. Everyone is invited to support the event and the library. There are amazing .
wines available this year which is yet another reason to attend.
9. STAFF COMMENTS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
9.1 Public Hearing dates for future protects.
CDD/Gubman stated that the staff person C/Nishimura referred to is Public
Works Associate Engineer John Beshay. CDD/Gubman said he appreciated the
kind words. AE/Beshay and staff do their best to respond to these types of
incidents since protecting the storm drain system from contaminants is very
important. CDD/Gubman said he appreciated anyone calling in should they
notice anyone draining a pool into the gutter or any kind of dumping into the
gutter.
CDD/Gubman explained that the scheduled meeting for April 28 will be adjourned
to May 12, 2015.
CDD/Gubman announced that T-Mobile has filed an appeal of the Planning
Commission's denial of the proposed cell tree at'.Maple Hill Park. This item will
likely go to the City Council for its first meeting inJune.
CDD/Gubman reported that Coco's and the Ranch House Grill Restaurants have
closed. The new owner of the Coco's Restaurant: chain closed about half of the
sites including the Coco's and Ranch House Grills that were under the Catalina
Restaurant Group. If necessary, the City will take a proactive role in marketing
those properties on behalf of the property owner to attempt to get appropriate
uses and tax revenue generating uses.
CDD/Gubman further commented on how best to discuss topics such as bike
lane improvements/enhancements would be when the City embarks upon the
Comprehensive General Plan update which is projected to commence during the
upcoming fiscal year. The City is mandated to transform its roadway system into
"complete streets" and the guiding principle behind this system is to not look at
roadways as strictly the domain of vehicles and other motor vehicles, but to be
the arteries of use for all modes of use and transportation including bicycle traffic.
Through the "complete streets" section he advocates adding to the City's General
Plan, these types of discussions could be incorporated. Also, a lot of
contemporary general plans are including public health elements which go
beyond the traditional scope of what a general plan covers in terms of physical
development, but also address policies that promote public health. There will be
significant opportunities to have some substantive dialogue on these and other
topics.
Chair/Low said it occurs to her that it is nice that the Commission can listen and
respond to those kinds of comments and elements because the City being so
financially well managed compared to other cities across the county. Again,
thank you to excellent staff for good stewardship of the City's resources.
C/Nishimura asked what the next steps are in the T-Mobile appeal and will there
be public notice. CDD/Gubman responded that the public hearing process starts
anew so there will be the requisite newspaper advertising, the physical posting
of the park site and mail notices to residents within the same 1000 foot radius.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City M jerTITLE: APPROVAL OF THE FIRSAMENDMENT TO THE CONSULTANT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH ECS IMAGING, INC., EXTENDING THE CONTRACT TERM THROUGH
JUNE 30, 2016 WITH NO CHANGE IN THE APPROVED NOT -TO -EXCEED AMOUNT OF
$87,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. The remaining balance of approximately $25,000 will be carried over from FY 14-15 and
applied to the extension period without increasing the previously approved not -to -exceed contract
amount of $87,000 (with a $5,000 contingency).
BACKGROUND:
On August 19, 2014, the City Council approved a Consultant Services Agreement with ECS Imaging,
Inc. in the not -to -exceed amount of $87,000 to implement the Laserfiche records management
software client and user licenses, convert and transfer previously scanned records from the City's
replaced document repository, and provide various document imaging/scanning consulting services
and system training sessions and technical support through June 30, 2015. With ECS Imaging, Inc.,
the City has made significant progress, completing the Laserfiche system installation, user training
and conversion processes within the fiscal year. City staff has fully transitioned into the new records
system and has expanded the overall volume of scanning to enhance overall access to critical
records, a process that will be ongoing.
While the transition has been made in the past year, the implementation of an effective electronic
records management system is a long-term endeavor that will require additional consulting and
technical support in the 2015-16 fiscal year. Staff recommends the City Council approve the First
Amendment to extend the Agreement through June 30, 2016.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT ("Amendment") is executed
as of May 19, 2015 by and between the City of Diamond Bar, California, a municipal corporation
("City") and ECS Imaging, Inc. ("Consultant"), hereinafter together occasionally referred to as "the
parties".
RECITALS
A. On August 19, 2014, Consultant entered into a Consulting Services Agreement ("Agreement")
with the City to provide document scanning/imaging services for a period expiring June 30, 2015.

change in the contract's not -to -exceed amount of $87,000.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, City and Consultant hereby agree to amend
the Agreement and the First Amendment as follows:
1. Paragraph 2 is amended to read as follows:
This Agreement shall take effect August 19, 2014 and shall continue until June 30, 2016

TITLE: APPROVAL OF THE FIRST A ENDMENT TO THE CONSULTANT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH SYTECH SOLUTIONS, INC., EXTENDING THE CONTRACT TERM
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2016 AT A COST OF $40,000 FOR A TOTAL NOT -TO -EXCEED
AMOUNT OF $140,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, there would be no additional appropriation of general fund dollars necessary. Unexpended funds
appropriated in FY 2014-15 under the current agreement would be carried over to FY 15-16 and the City
Council's adopted FY 2015-16 budget appropriates additional funds specifically for ongoing document
scanning services.
BACKGROUND:
On April 15, 2014, the City Council approved a Consultant Services Agreement with SyTech Solutions, Inc. in
the not -to -exceed amount of $100,000 to scan City records into the newly implemented Laserfiche records
management system. SyTech is an industry leader in document management services, working on behalf of
cities, counties, special districts and various state agencies across California.
In FY 2014-15, the City's scanning process began in earnest, with thousands of pages of historical records
from across City departments digitized and imported into the system by SyTech. These records are now
available in an easily accessible electronic format on a locally stored database, offering greater efficiency to
the organization. Because the likely City maintains millions of pages of documents and is constantly adding to
its cache of permanent public records, this scanning effort will be an ongoing process if it is to be successful.
To maintain forward progress and reduce the backlog of historical records, it is recommended that SyTech
continue the current process of collecting records for imaging, scanning and indexing them, and preparing
them for upload to the Laserfiche system.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the First Amendment to extend the Agreement and
increase the not -to -exceed amount from $100,000 to $140,000.

Re: Letter of Intent - Contract Renewal: 2015-2016, Maintenance of Parks Landscapes and
Irrigation
Mr. Jordan,
ValleyCrest Landscape Maintenance would like to extend its gratitude to the City of Diamond
Bar for its partnership over the past years. We accept the offer to extend the contract for fiscal
year 2015-2016 on the Maintenance of Parks Landscapes and Irrigation within the City of
Diamond Bar with this letter of intent. The pricing will continue with the City of Diamond Bar at
the currently contracted rates with no CPI increase. It is worthy of mention that our costs have
increased significantly with the minimum wage increase, healthcare reform and added benefits
given to each of our employees. It is our goal however to partner with the city and work towards
a nominal increase to help ease the impact of said items in the coming years.
We look forward to a successful year. If you have any questions or comments, please give me a
call at (909) 349-1802 or email at pbird@valleyerest.com.
Sincerely,
Paul Bird
Branch Manager

A. Contractor is, and shall at all times remain as to City, a wholly independent

authorized to do business in the State of California or which is approved in writing by the City; and
shall be placed with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less that A VII.
C. Contractor shall submit to City (1) insurance certificates indicating
compliance with the minimum worker's compensation insurance requirements above, and (2)
insurance policy endorsements indicating compliance with all other minimum insurance requirements
above, not less than one (1) day prior to beginning of performance under this Agreement.
Endorsements shall be executed on City's appropriate standard forms entitled "Additional Insured
Endorsement", or a substantially similar form which the City has agreed in writing to accept.
D. All policies required by this Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to

named insured) should Owner fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR
or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. Owner
understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Owner as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible
constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR or deductible on Owner's
behalf upon the Owner's failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as
an additional insured under the policy, City may include such amounts as damages in any action
against Owner for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by City due to
the breach.
10. Confidentiality. Contractor in the course of its duties may have access to confidential
data of City, private individuals, or employees of the City. Contractor covenants that all data,
documents, discussion, or other information developed or received by Contractor or provided for
performance of this Agreement are deemed confidential and shall not be disclosed by Contractor
without written authorization by City. City shall grant such authorization if disclosure is required by
law. All City data shall be returned to City upon the termination of this Agreement. Contractor's
covenant under this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent Contractor prepares reports of a proprietary nature specifically for and in
connection with certain projects, the City shall not, except with Contractor's prior written consent, use
the same for other unrelated projects.
11. Ownership of Materials. All materials provided by Contractor in the performance of
this Agreement shall be and remain the property of City without restriction or limitation upon its use or
dissemination by City. Contractor may, however, make and retain such copies of said documents
and materials as Contractor may desire.
12. Conflict of Interest.
A. Contractor covenants that it presently has no interest and shall not acquire any
interest, direct or indirect, which may be affected by the services to be performed by Contractor under
this Agreement, or which would conflict in any manner with the performance of its services hereunder.
Contractor further covenants that, in performance of this Agreement, no person having any such
interest shall be employed by it. Furthermore, Contractor shall avoid the appearance of having any
interest which would conflict in any manner with the performance of its services pursuant to this
Agreement.
B. Contractor covenants not to give or receive any compensation, monetary or
otherwise, to or from the ultimate vendor(s) of hardware or software to City as a result of the

termination of this Agreement.
13. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon
fifteen (15) days' written notice to the other party. The effective date of termination shall be upon the
date specified in the notice of termination, or, in the event no date is specified, upon the fifteenth
(15th) day following delivery of the notice. In the event of such termination, City agrees to pay
Contractor for services satisfactorily rendered prior to the effective date of termination. Immediately
upon receiving written notice of termination, Contractor shall discontinue performing services.
14. Extension Option.
A. The City Council shall have the option to extend this Agreement for no more than
one year, as set forth in Section 14. C., subject to the same terms and conditions contained herein,
by giving Contractor written notice of exercise of this option to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of the initial term of this Agreement, or of any additional one (1) year or multiple year
extensions.
B. The City Council shall also have the option to extend this Agreement for a multiple
year period (up to three years), if the contractor agrees to waive its opportunity to receive a CPI
increase during the entire extension period. If this option is selected, Contractor obtains the right to
terminate the contract after the first year of the multiple year period, with 180 days written notice to
the City. The City shall retain its right to terminate this Agreement, without cause, with 30 days
written notice to the Contractor, per section 13, above. City shall provide Contractor written notice
of exercise of this option to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial term of
this Agreement, or of any additional one (1) year or multiple year extensions.
C. In the event the City Council exercises its option to extend the term of this
Agreement for one or more additional one year periods as set forth in Section 14. A., the Contractor's
unit prices shall be subject to adjustment at the commencement of the extended term and annually
thereafter ("the adjustment date") as follows:
Any increase in compensation will be negotiated between the City and the contractor, with the
limits being no increase to a maximum of the cost of living.
The increase, if any, will be calculated with reference to cost of living during the previous year.
If the increase is approved by the City Council, the increase will be calculated by adding the
Contractor's monthly compensation, the amount, if any, obtained by multiplying the contractor's
compensation as of the adjustment date by the percentage by which the Consumer Price
Index ("CPI") for the Los Angeles -Anaheim -Riverside metropolitan area for the month
immediately preceding the Adjustment Date (the "Index Month") reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, has increased over the CPI for the
month one year prior to the Index Month. If the Index is discontinued, the Director's office
shall, at its discretion, substitute for the Index such other similar index as it may deem
appropriate.
15. Personnel. Contractor represents that it has, or will secure at its own expense, all
personnel required to perform the services under this Agreement. All of the services required under
this Agreement will be performed by Contractor or under it supervision, and all personnel engaged in
the work shall be qualified to perform such services. Contractor reserves the right to determine the
assignment of its own employees to the performance of Contractor's services under this Agreement,
but City reserves the right, for good cause, to require Contractor to exclude any employee from
performing services on City's premises.
16. Prevailing Wage. Notice is hereby given that in accordance with the provisions of
California Labor Code, Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1, Articles 1 and 2, the Contractor is required to
pay not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the
locality in which the public works is performed, and not less than the general prevailing rate of per
diem wages for holiday and overtime work. In that regard, the Director of the Department of Industrial
Relations of the State of California is required to and has determined such general prevailing rates of
per diem wages. Copies of such prevailing rates of per diem wages are on file in the Office of the
City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar, 21825 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California, and are
available to any interested party on request. City also shall cause a copy of such determinations to
be posted at the job site.
The Contractor shall forfeit, as penalty to City, not more than twenty-five dollars
($25.00) for each laborer, workman or mechanic employed for each calendar day or portion thereof, if
such laborer, workman or mechanic is paid less than the general prevailing rate of wages
hereinbefore stipulated for any work done under this Agreement, by him or by any subcontractor
under him.
17. Non -Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity.
A. Contractor shall not discriminate as to race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital
status, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental handicap, medical condition, or sexual
orientation, in the performance of its services and duties pursuant to this Agreement, and will comply
with all rules and regulations of City relating thereto. Such nondiscrimination shall include but not be
limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, transfers, recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for
training, including apprenticeship.
B. Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or
on behalf of Contractor state either that it is an equal opportunity employer or that all qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex,
marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental handicap, medical condition, or
sexual orientation.
C. Contractor will cause the foregoing provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts
for any work covered by this Agreement except contracts or subcontracts for standard commercial
supplies or raw materials.
18. Assignment. Contractor shall not assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement nor
the performance of any of Contractor's obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of City,
and any attempt by Contractor to so assign this Agreement or any rights, duties, or obligations arising
hereunder shall be void and of no effect.
19. Compliance with Laws. Contractor shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances,
codes and regulations of the federal, state, and local governments.
20. Non -Waiver of Terms, Rights and Remedies. Waiver by either party of any one or
more of the conditions of performance under this Agreement shall not be a waiver of any other
condition of performance under this Agreement. In no event shall the making by City of any payment
to Contractor constitute or be construed as a waiver by City of any breach of covenant, or any default
which may then exist on the part of Contractor, and the making of any such payment by City shall in
no way impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to City with regard to such breach or default.
21. Mediation. Any dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement, or in connection
with any of the terms and conditions hereof, shall be referred by the parties hereto for mediation. A
third party, neutral mediation service shall be selected, as agreed upon by the parties and the costs
and expenses thereof shall be borne equally by the parties hereto. In the event the parties are
unable to mutually agree upon the mediator to be selected hereunder, the City Council shall select
such a neutral, third party mediation service and the City Council's decision shall be final. The parties
agree to utilize their good faith efforts to resolve any such dispute or controversy so submitted to
mediation. It is specifically understood and agreed by the parties hereto that referral of any such
dispute or controversy, and mutual good faith efforts to resolve the same thereby, shall be conditions
precedent to the institution of any action or proceeding, whether at law or in equity with respect to any
such dispute or controversy.
22. Notices. Any notices, bills, invoices, or reports required by this Agreement shall be
deemed received on (a) the day of delivery if delivered by hand during regular business hours or by
facsimile before or during regular business hours; or (b) on the third business day following deposit in
the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses heretofore set forth in the Agreement, or to
such other addresses as the parties may, from time to time, designate in writing pursuant to the
provisions of this section.
23. Governing Law. This Contract shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be the original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
25. Records and Audits. The Contractor shall maintain accounts and records, including
personnel, property and financial records, adequate to identify and account for all costs pertaining to
this Agreement and such other records as may be deemed necessary by the City to assure proper
accounting. These records will be made available for audit purposes to the City or any authorized
representative, and will be retained five years after final payments are issued and other pending
matters are closed.
26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and any other documents incorporated herein by
specific reference, represent the entire and integrated agreement between Contractor and City. This
Agreement supersedes all prior oral or written negotiations, representations or agreements. This
Agreement may not be
amended, nor any provision or breach hereof waived, except in a writing signed by the parties which
expressly refers to this Agreement. Amendments on behalf of the City will only be valid if signed by
the City Manager or the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk.

FOLLOWS:

and occupation of the candidate and a brief description of no more than 200 words of
the candidate's education and qualifications expressed by the candidate himself or
herself. The statement shall not include party affiliation of the candidate, nor
membership or activity in partisan political organizations. The Statement shall be filed
in typewritten form in the office of the City Clerk at the time the candidate's nomination

Agenda 96.11
Meeting Date: June 2, 2015
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Man
TITLE: SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPR"IONSOF $559,591 INTO THE FY
2014/15 BUILDING FEES REVENUE ACCOUNTS, AND $233,547 INTO
THE FY 2014/15 BUILDING AND SAFETY CONTRACT SERVICES
EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT TO FUND THE PAYMENT OF RKA
CONSULTING SERVICES INVOICES.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City's professional services agreement with its building and safety contract services
provider, RKA Consulting Group (RKA) includes a commission -based fee schedule,
where compensation is calculated as percentage of the City's monthly plan check and
permit revenues. As such, the additional appropriation requested is a direct reflection of
the increased revenues derived from plan check and building permit fees collected during
the current budget year, primarily as a result of the accelerated construction activity at
Lennar's Willow Heights development.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
At the beginning of FY 2014/15, $580,403 was appropriated for building and safety
contract services, based on estimated plan check and permit revenues of more than $1.2
million. These revenue and expenditure estimates were based in part on the construction
schedule provided by Lennar during the budget preparation process.
When the budget was adjusted at mid -year, non -Willow Heights permitting activity
trended moderately above projections, and associated revenue and expenditure
estimates were increased to $1.327 million and $626,053, respectively. However, during
the second half of FY 2014/15, Lennar's construction schedule progressed at a much
more aggressive pace than initially anticipated, and staff now expects to receive nearly
$1.9 million in building plan check and permit revenues, which translates to approximately
$859,600 in total RKA invoices for the current budget year; these year-end projections
were published in the FY 2015/16 budget approved by the Council this past May 5tn
In light of this significant increase in development activity, it is necessary to appropriate
an additional $233,547 for the Building and Safety Contract Services account to pay
RKA's invoices through the end of FY 2014/15. This additional expenditure will be offset
by the corresponding portion of the increase in building fee revenues.

yli!/_\0Is] 0aI ril:7_T0IF
The proposed three-year Professional Services Agreement authorizes the Consultant
submit invoices to the City for a not -to -exceed amount of $75,000 per fiscal year. There
is no additional appropriation required since costs associated with DEA's landscape
plan checking services are funded through application and processing fees paid to the
City by project developers.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
On August 17, 2012, the City executed a three-year Consulting Services Agreement
with DEA to provide landscape plan checking services. The current contract expires on
June 30, 2015.
In April of this year, staff requested and obtained proposals from three landscape
architecture firms: DEA, MIG and David Volz Design. The requested scope of work
included the following items: review of landscape and irrigation plans for compliance
with the City's Water Efficiency Landscape Standards (including, but not limited to, plant
selection and grouping, water features, landscape design plan specifications, runoff and
overspray, and irrigation plans and specifications; inspection services; and project
management.
As shown in the attached Bid Quotation Form (Attachment 2), DEA's hourly rates were
the most competitive among the three proposals. In addition to the competitive fee
structure, DEA has provided the City and project applicants with thorough, detailed
project reviews, and has provided exemplary customer service to the City and its
customers. Landscape Architect Greg Clark has been the designated project manager
for the City, and is again proposed to serve in that capacity.
During the past 12 months, landscape plan check and project management billings
totaled approximately $66,000. A significant percentage of those billings have been
generated by the large-scale and complex Willow Heights and Diamond Canyon Park
projects. The remainder of the billings have been for new custom homes and new
commercial construction. Going forward, staff anticipates that the Millennium, South
Pointe West and Crooked Creek subdivisions to progress into the construction
document phases, and for landscape review billings for all residential and commercial
projects to be comparable to those generated during the past year.
It is thus recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the
proposed contract with DEA to provide ongoing landscape plan checking services for a
not -to -exceed total of $75,000 per fiscal year.

��_'on 3: Project Understanding and items of Work
DEA landscape architects are currently working with the City of Diamond Bar on this contract and hence are
extremely familiar with staff requirements and expectations.
As noted throughout this proposal, DEA has also provided plan checking services on an as -needed basis for the
Cities of San Gabriel, Chino, Chino Hills, Anaheim, Walnut, La Quinta, and Palm Desert. Additional services
provided to some of those listed above include site inspection and construction management services in
addition to City landscape architectural tasks such as representation at DRB, Planning Commission, and City
Council meetings.
Utilizing outside consultants such as DEA assists agencies in streamlining internal processes — allowing our team
to assist with day-to-day plan checking, inspection, coordination with applicants, in addition to providing design
services as needed.
Because we currently provide the City of Diamond Bar with plan checking services, we've provided both a
project manager and assistant project manager yet again, to ensure we have skilled resources and technical
support to address the needs of each of our clients when serving as an extension to staff. Our organization chart
highlights several team members available for a contract of this nature; however, we are supported by 15
landscape architects, designers and construction managers within the Southern California Region alone. Our
designated project manager and assistant project manager both reside in our Ontario office and are therefore
readily accessible to your team.
We anticipate the annual contract to include primarily planting and irrigation plan checking, however, the
following typical tasks may be included on an as -needed basis as requested by the city:
• DRC Review
• Meetings with Project Planners
• Plan Review including consistency with the General Plan, Development Code, applicable Ordinances, and
Design Guidelines.
• Site Visits
• Preparation of Plan Check Comments (Digital and Hard Copy)
• Notification to and/or coordination with project Applicants
• Supplemental Plan Checks after initial review
• Review of Construction Plans and Documents (First by Landscape Architect, Second by team members
with expertise in site planning and grading)
• Inspection Services
• Preparation of Site Inspection Report for Project Planner and Coordination with Applicant
• Landscape Advisory Resource
• Attendance at Meetings (DRC, Planning Commission, City Council)
Based on the above noted tasks and our on -going relationship with the City of Diamond Bar, DEA can continue
to provide the necessary services with our in-house team and therefore no outside subconsultants will be
required. If selected, our team will meet with City staff and obtain pertinent documents, procedures,
applications, or any other items deemed necessary to gain a thorough understanding of the guidelines and
policies required to perform the work.

VIA: James DeStefano, City Man g
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANA ER TO ENTER INTO A THREE-YEAR
AGREEMENT WITH THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION
INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS
AUTHORITY TO SHARE THE COSTS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF
MONITORING EQUIPMENT AND MONITORING PURSUANT TO THE
HARBOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS
(TMDL) FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $30,000 FOR THE
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize.
31M-1TL�[01Y-. TLJi17-%9
The existing Memorandum of Understanding with the Gateway Water Management
Authority requires an annual cost sharing contribution until September 2026, the required
date to be in full compliance with the new Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Permit requirements, but does not include provisions for the installation of equipment or
the ongoing sampling and monitoring that is required by the Watershed Management
Program (WMP) that was recently approved by the Water Quality Control Board. With
the implementation of the WMP the costs associated with the Stormwater Permit
compliance will become more significant to the City's budget. The Los Angeles region
faces critical and seriously underfunded stormwater and urban runoff water quality
challenges with solutions that are complex and costly. The cost estimates continue to be
a moving target and are projected to be in the tens of millions of dollars with several
jurisdictions working together to review and analyze different funding options. The
cooperative agreement being considered is one way that jurisdictions are working
together to try to keep costs as low as possible.
The installation, ongoing monitoring and reporting will be a multi -agency effort.
Participating agencies are assessed costs based on the cost sharing formulas, as
detailed in the attached Agreement. The cities and agencies have worked together with
the Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA) to develop this Agreement to share
the cost of the monitoring.. The GWMA will act solely as a fiduciary agent for this
Agreement. This Agreement encompasses three watersheds, but only the San Gabriel
River and Coyote Creek Watershed portions are applicable to Diamond Bar. The total
cost to the City for the three year term of this Agreement is estimated to be less than
$30,000.
The first invoice is anticipated to be sent to the City in July 2015 by the GWMA.
Subsequent invoices will be sent in July of each year. The first year's cost of
approximately $12,720.50 is allocated within the Public Works Operating Budget for
FY2015-2016. This cost is greater due to the specialized equipment that will need to be
installed as well as an additional 25 percent in anticipation of agencies that may decide
not to participate in the cost sharing and an administrative charge. Subsequent years
cost will be collected for the ongoing monitoring and sampling station maintenance and
are estimated not to exceed $7,000 annually. Actual cost of sample collection and
analysis is expected to vary slightly from year to year due to the field conditions (or
changes in the monitoring plan ordered by the Regional Board).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On May 5, 2011, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted the Harbor
Toxics Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) (metals, DDT, PCB, etc.) which became
effective upon approval of the US Environmental Protection Agency on March 23, 2012.
Subsequently, this TMDL has been incorporated into the Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Permit and is enforceable through the federal Clean Water Act.
Cities tributary to the San Gabriel River and Coyote Creek watersheds, which includes
the City of Diamond Bar, are identified in the TMDL as responsible parties. This TMDL
requires monitoring for toxic pollutants.
The Harbor Toxics TMDL establishes Load Allocations and Waste Load Allocations
(which are effectively numerical discharge limits) for a wide variety of pollutants including
metals such as copper, lead, zinc, and other organic compounds, such as DDT and PCB,
generally referred to as "toxic." Agencies impacted by this TMDL are divided into three
groups based on geographical drainage areas:
1) Those agencies draining to the Dominguez Channel,
2) Those agencies with areas draining directly into the Greater Harbor which
includes the Los Cerritos Channel watershed, Palos Verdes Peninsula
watershed and Los Angeles River Estuary, and
3) Those agencies draining to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers.
TMDL monitoring requirements differ for each of the above groups. For agencies tributary
to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers, monitoring for the toxic pollutants must be
conducted.
The Harbor Toxics TMDL requires monitoring of both dry and wet weather runoff in the Los
Angeles and San Gabriel River. Due to tidal interferences, a third station will be established
within the Coyote Creek watershed. The TMDL does not specify the number of monitoring
2
stations but the Regional Board has indicated that one station in each watershed will
suffice.
A cost estimate and a cost sharing scenario is shown in Exhibit A to the Agreement. This
cost estimate is similar to other TMDL and watershed cost sharing agreements in the Los
Angeles County area. Participants are assessed a watershed group baseline cost and a
watershed group area costs where 50 percent of the cost is based on agency area.
Key Elements of the Agreement:
• Obligates agencies to pay an annual fee;
• A city or agency can withdraw from the agreement at any time, but will be
responsible for the whole cost of the year of their withdrawal. Remaining
participating parties would be responsible for making up the addition costs;
• Establishes the GWMA as the entity to contract with consultants chosen by the
watershed group and process payments for consultants;
• Outlines a process for annual budget adoption; and
• Outlines a process for invoicing and payments by participating agencies.
The City could conduct the monitoring independently or with adjacent agencies, however,
the City would need to install monitoring equipment and collect the necessary samples.
This option has been investigated and determined that the cost of an independent
monitoring program would result in significantly higher overall costs as compared to the
costs stipulated in this Agreement. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council authorize
the City Manager to enter into the Agreement with the GWMA for cost sharing for the
installation of monitoring equipment and monitoring pursuant to the harbor toxic pollutants
TMDL.

AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL
WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
FOR COST SHARING FOR THE INSTALLATION OF MONITORING EQUIPMENT
AND MONITORING PURSUANT TO THE HARBOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS TMDL
This Agreement is made and entered into as of May 8, 2015, by and between the
Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers
Authority ("GWMA"), a California Joint Powers Authority, and the City of Diamond Bar,
(the "Permittee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the mission of the GWMA includes the equitable protection and
management of water resources within its area;
WHEREAS, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term "MS4 Permittees" shall
mean those public agencies that are co-permittees to a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit Order ("MS4
Permit") issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board,
WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency established the
Total Maximum Daily Loads ("TMDL") for Toxic Pollutants on March 23, 2012, with the
intent of protecting and improving water quality in the Dominguez Channel and the
Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters ("Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL");
WHEREAS, the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL regulates certain discharges from
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit holders, requiring
organization and cooperation among the Permittees;
WHEREAS, the Permittee manages, drains or conveys storm water into at least
a portion of the Los Angeles River including the estuary or Coyote Creek or the San
Gabriel River including the estuary;
WHEREAS, various MS4 Permittees desire to facilitate the achievement of the
objectives of the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL by installing one monitoring station in
the Los Angeles River at Wardlow Road, one monitoring station in the San Gabriel
River near Spring Street, and one monitoring station in the Coyote Creek, also near
Spring Street and conducting monitoring at said monitoring stations (collectively
"Monitoring Stations") to ensure consistency with other regional monitoring programs
and usability with other TMDL related studies;
WHEREAS, installation of the Monitoring Stations and future monitoring requires
administrative coordination for the various MS4 Permittees that the GWMA can provide;
Page 1 of 10
12664/0001/1816452-2
04/06/15
WHEREAS, individual MS4 permittees that are not GWMA members have
indicated a desire to participate in the cost sharing for the installation of the Monitoring
Stations and the costs of monitoring conducted at the Monitoring Stations (collectively
"Monitoring Costs");
WHEREAS, the GWMA Board of Directors authorized the GWMA to enter into
individual separate agreements with such individual MS4 Permittees (which shall not
have voting rights in any group relating to the GWMA Members) for purposes of only
cost sharing in the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, the members of the GWMA are the Cities of Artesia, Bell, Bell
Gardens, Bellflower, Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens,
Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lakewood, Long Beach, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello,
Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill, South Gate, Vernon,
Whittier, Central Basin Municipal Water District and the Long Beach Water Department
("GWMA Members");
WHEREAS, because GWMA Members already currently pay annual membership
fees that pay for GWMA administrative costs, GWMA Members that participate in the
cost share for the Monitoring Costs shall pay a three percent (3%) administrative fee on
each payment to cover various administrative costs;
WHEREAS, MS4 Permittees that are not GWMA Members that participate in the
cost share for the Monitoring Costs shall pay a five percent (5%) administrative fee on
each payment to cover various administrative costs;
WHEREAS, currently a majority of MS4 Permittees tributary to the Los Angeles
and San Gabriel River systems have committed to cost share for the Monitoring Costs,
WHEREAS, because of the financial savings and benefits resulting from this
cost -sharing arrangement, other MS4 Permittees may request to participate in the cost
sharing of the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, the cost -share formula, set forth in Exhibit "A" of this Agreement,
currently assumes the participation of the maximum number of MS4 Permittees required
to comply with the monitoring requirements of the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL;
WHEREAS, it is currently unknown how many MS4 Permittees will ultimately
participate in the cost sharing of the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, because some definite maximum cost share amount per
participating Permittee is required for planning purposes, this Agreement requires each
participating Permittee to submit an initial payment that includes the first year payment
plus a deposit that is 25% of the first year payment cost identified in Exhibit "A" of this
Agreement, to account for possible non -participation of some MS4 Permittees in the
cost share for the Monitoring Costs,
Page 2 of 10
12664/0001/1816452-2
04/06/15
WHEREAS, depending on how many MS4 Permittees ultimately participate in
the cost sharing for the Monitoring Costs, each participating Permittee's annual cost
share amount will be adjusted and the GWMA will notify each participating Permittee of
its adjusted annual cost share amount in writing;
WHEREAS, the "Initial Payment Amount" and the "Annual Payment Amount"
identified in Section 8 ("Financial Terms") of this Agreement represent the maximum
dollar amounts that the Permittee is required to submit to the GWMA, but may be
reduced based on the final number of MS4 Permittees that participate in the cost
sharing for the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, if the actual cost share amount is less than the Initial Payment
Amount paid by the Permittee, the GWMA will notify the Permittee and shall credit any
balance in excess of the actual cost share amount towards the Permittee's "Annual
Payment Amount" in subsequent years;
WHEREAS, the Permittee desires to share in the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, the Permittee and the GWMA are collectively referred to as the
"Parties";
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that authorizing GWMA to hire
additional consultant as necessary to install the Monitoring Stations and conduct the
monitoring required by the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL will be beneficial to the
Parties;
WHEREAS, the Permittee agrees to pay: (a) its proportional share of the
Monitoring Costs to be incurred by the GWMA in accordance with the Cost Sharing
Formula reflected in Exhibit "A", (b) a deposit of 25% of the "Initial Payment Amount"
and a deposit of 25% of the "Annual Payment Amount"; and (c) applicable
administrative fees to cover administrative costs; and
WHEREAS, the role of the GWMA is to: (1) invoice and collect funds from the
Permittee to cover its portion of the Monitoring Costs; and (2) hire and retain
consultants to install Monitoring Stations and conduct monitoring at the Monitoring
Stations.

received by the GWMA within forty-five (45) days after the invoice's date. If the
Permittee is delinquent, the GWMA will: 1) verbally contact the representative of the
Permittee; and 2) submit a formal letter from the GWMA Executive Officer to the
Permittee at the address listed in Section 12 of this Agreement. If payment is not
received within sixty (60) days of the original invoice date, the GWMA may terminate
this Agreement. However, no such termination may be ordered unless the GWMA first
provides the Permittee with thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate the
Agreement. The terminated Permittee shall remain obligated to GWMA for its
delinquent payments and any other obligations incurred prior to the date of termination.
If the GWMA terminates this Agreement because the Permittee is delinquent in its
payment, the Permittee shall no longer be entitled to the monitoring data collected from
the Monitoring Stations.
(h) Any delinquent payments by the Permittee shall accrue compound
interest at the average rate of interest paid by the Local Agency Investment Fund during
the time that the payment is delinquent.
Section 9. Independent Contractor.
(a) The GWMA is, and shall at all times remain, a wholly independent
contractor for performance of the obligations described in this Agreement. The GWMA's

Page 5 of 10
12664/0001/1816452-2
04/06/15
GWMA and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall not be deemed to be
employees of the Permittee.
(b) The GWMA is solely responsible for the payment of salaries,
wages, other compensation, employment taxes, workers' compensation, or similar taxes
for its employees and consultants performing services hereunder.
Section 10. Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) The Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
GWMA and its officers, employees, and other representatives and agents from and
against any and all liabilities, actions, suits proceedings, claims, demands, losses,
costs, and expenses, including legal costs and attorney's fees, for injury to or death of
person(s), for damage to property (including property owned by the GWMA) for
negligent or intentional acts, errors and omissions committed by the Permittee or its
officers, employees, and agents, arising out of or related to that Permittee's
performance under this Agreement, except for such loss as may be caused by GWMA's
negligence or that of its officers, employees, or other representatives and agents,
excluding the consultant.
(b) GWMA makes no guarantee or warranty that any monitoring data
prepared by the consultants shall be approved by the relevant governmental authorities.
GWMA shall have no liability to the Permittee for the negligent or intentional acts or

intentional act or omission of GWMA's consultants shall be against consultants and their
insurance.
Section 11. Termination.
(a) The Permittee may terminate this Agreement for any reason, or no
reason, by giving the GWMA prior written notice thereof, but the Permittee shall remain
responsible for its entire Annual Payment Amount through the end of the current fiscal
year during which Permittee terminates the Agreement and shall not be entitled any
refund of any portion of said Annual Payment Amount. Moreover, unless the Permittee
provides written notice of termination to the GWMA by February 15th immediately prior
to the new fiscal year, the Permittee shall also be responsible for its Annual Payment
Amount through the end of the new fiscal year (e.g., If the Permittee terminates on
March 9st, 2016, the Permittee is responsible for the Annual Payment Amounts for both
FY 2015-2016 and FY 2016-2017. If the Permittee terminates on February 10, 2016,
the Permittee is responsible for its Annual Payment Amount only for FY 2015-2016, not
for FY 2016-2017). If the Permittee terminates the Agreement, the Permittee shall
remain liable for any loss, debt, or liability otherwise incurred through the end of the new
fiscal year.
(b) The GWMA may, with a vote of the GWMA Board, terminate this
Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Permittee. Any
remaining funds not due and payable or otherwise legally committed to Consultant shall
Page 6 of 10
12664/0001/1816452-2
04/06/15
be returned to the Permittee.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Permittee has been accepted as a participant in the cost
sharing for the Monitoring Costs and shall not be entitled to appoint a representative or
to vote or participate in any way in decisions assigned to GWMA Members. Participant
status entitles the Permittee only to the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring
Stations for any fiscal year in which the participant has paid its Annual Payment
Amount.
(b) Notices. All Notices which the Parties require or desire to give
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Man g
TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANA ER TO ENTER INTO A THREE-YEAR
AGREEMENT WITH THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION
INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS
AUTHORITY TO SHARE THE COSTS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF
MONITORING EQUIPMENT AND MONITORING PURSUANT TO THE
HARBOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS
(TMDL) FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $30,000 FOR THE
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize.
31M-1TL�[01Y-. TLJi17-%9
The existing Memorandum of Understanding with the Gateway Water Management
Authority requires an annual cost sharing contribution until September 2026, the required
date to be in full compliance with the new Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Permit requirements, but does not include provisions for the installation of equipment or
the ongoing sampling and monitoring that is required by the Watershed Management
Program (WMP) that was recently approved by the Water Quality Control Board. With
the implementation of the WMP the costs associated with the Stormwater Permit
compliance will become more significant to the City's budget. The Los Angeles region
faces critical and seriously underfunded stormwater and urban runoff water quality
challenges with solutions that are complex and costly. The cost estimates continue to be
a moving target and are projected to be in the tens of millions of dollars with several
jurisdictions working together to review and analyze different funding options. The
cooperative agreement being considered is one way that jurisdictions are working
together to try to keep costs as low as possible.
The installation, ongoing monitoring and reporting will be a multi -agency effort.
Participating agencies are assessed costs based on the cost sharing formulas, as
detailed in the attached Agreement. The cities and agencies have worked together with
the Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA) to develop this Agreement to share
the cost of the monitoring.. The GWMA will act solely as a fiduciary agent for this
Agreement. This Agreement encompasses three watersheds, but only the San Gabriel
River and Coyote Creek Watershed portions are applicable to Diamond Bar. The total
cost to the City for the three year term of this Agreement is estimated to be less than
$30,000.
The first invoice is anticipated to be sent to the City in July 2015 by the GWMA.
Subsequent invoices will be sent in July of each year. The first year's cost of
approximately $12,720.50 is allocated within the Public Works Operating Budget for
FY2015-2016. This cost is greater due to the specialized equipment that will need to be
installed as well as an additional 25 percent in anticipation of agencies that may decide
not to participate in the cost sharing and an administrative charge. Subsequent years
cost will be collected for the ongoing monitoring and sampling station maintenance and
are estimated not to exceed $7,000 annually. Actual cost of sample collection and
analysis is expected to vary slightly from year to year due to the field conditions (or
changes in the monitoring plan ordered by the Regional Board).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On May 5, 2011, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted the Harbor
Toxics Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) (metals, DDT, PCB, etc.) which became
effective upon approval of the US Environmental Protection Agency on March 23, 2012.
Subsequently, this TMDL has been incorporated into the Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Permit and is enforceable through the federal Clean Water Act.
Cities tributary to the San Gabriel River and Coyote Creek watersheds, which includes
the City of Diamond Bar, are identified in the TMDL as responsible parties. This TMDL
requires monitoring for toxic pollutants.
The Harbor Toxics TMDL establishes Load Allocations and Waste Load Allocations
(which are effectively numerical discharge limits) for a wide variety of pollutants including
metals such as copper, lead, zinc, and other organic compounds, such as DDT and PCB,
generally referred to as "toxic." Agencies impacted by this TMDL are divided into three
groups based on geographical drainage areas:
1) Those agencies draining to the Dominguez Channel,
2) Those agencies with areas draining directly into the Greater Harbor which
includes the Los Cerritos Channel watershed, Palos Verdes Peninsula
watershed and Los Angeles River Estuary, and
3) Those agencies draining to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers.
TMDL monitoring requirements differ for each of the above groups. For agencies tributary
to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers, monitoring for the toxic pollutants must be
conducted.
The Harbor Toxics TMDL requires monitoring of both dry and wet weather runoff in the Los
Angeles and San Gabriel River. Due to tidal interferences, a third station will be established
within the Coyote Creek watershed. The TMDL does not specify the number of monitoring
2
stations but the Regional Board has indicated that one station in each watershed will
suffice.
A cost estimate and a cost sharing scenario is shown in Exhibit A to the Agreement. This
cost estimate is similar to other TMDL and watershed cost sharing agreements in the Los
Angeles County area. Participants are assessed a watershed group baseline cost and a
watershed group area costs where 50 percent of the cost is based on agency area.
Key Elements of the Agreement:
• Obligates agencies to pay an annual fee;
• A city or agency can withdraw from the agreement at any time, but will be
responsible for the whole cost of the year of their withdrawal. Remaining
participating parties would be responsible for making up the addition costs;
• Establishes the GWMA as the entity to contract with consultants chosen by the
watershed group and process payments for consultants;
• Outlines a process for annual budget adoption; and
• Outlines a process for invoicing and payments by participating agencies.
The City could conduct the monitoring independently or with adjacent agencies, however,
the City would need to install monitoring equipment and collect the necessary samples.
This option has been investigated and determined that the cost of an independent
monitoring program would result in significantly higher overall costs as compared to the
costs stipulated in this Agreement. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council authorize
the City Manager to enter into the Agreement with the GWMA for cost sharing for the
installation of monitoring equipment and monitoring pursuant to the harbor toxic pollutants
TMDL.

AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL
WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
FOR COST SHARING FOR THE INSTALLATION OF MONITORING EQUIPMENT
AND MONITORING PURSUANT TO THE HARBOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS TMDL
This Agreement is made and entered into as of May 8, 2015, by and between the
Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers
Authority ("GWMA"), a California Joint Powers Authority, and the City of Diamond Bar,
(the "Permittee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the mission of the GWMA includes the equitable protection and
management of water resources within its area;
WHEREAS, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term "MS4 Permittees" shall
mean those public agencies that are co-permittees to a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit Order ("MS4
Permit") issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board,
WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency established the
Total Maximum Daily Loads ("TMDL") for Toxic Pollutants on March 23, 2012, with the
intent of protecting and improving water quality in the Dominguez Channel and the
Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters ("Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL");
WHEREAS, the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL regulates certain discharges from
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit holders, requiring
organization and cooperation among the Permittees;
WHEREAS, the Permittee manages, drains or conveys storm water into at least
a portion of the Los Angeles River including the estuary or Coyote Creek or the San
Gabriel River including the estuary;
WHEREAS, various MS4 Permittees desire to facilitate the achievement of the
objectives of the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL by installing one monitoring station in
the Los Angeles River at Wardlow Road, one monitoring station in the San Gabriel
River near Spring Street, and one monitoring station in the Coyote Creek, also near
Spring Street and conducting monitoring at said monitoring stations (collectively
"Monitoring Stations") to ensure consistency with other regional monitoring programs
and usability with other TMDL related studies;
WHEREAS, installation of the Monitoring Stations and future monitoring requires
administrative coordination for the various MS4 Permittees that the GWMA can provide;
Page 1 of 10
12664/0001/1816452-2
04/06/15
WHEREAS, individual MS4 permittees that are not GWMA members have
indicated a desire to participate in the cost sharing for the installation of the Monitoring
Stations and the costs of monitoring conducted at the Monitoring Stations (collectively
"Monitoring Costs");
WHEREAS, the GWMA Board of Directors authorized the GWMA to enter into
individual separate agreements with such individual MS4 Permittees (which shall not
have voting rights in any group relating to the GWMA Members) for purposes of only
cost sharing in the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, the members of the GWMA are the Cities of Artesia, Bell, Bell
Gardens, Bellflower, Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens,
Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lakewood, Long Beach, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello,
Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill, South Gate, Vernon,
Whittier, Central Basin Municipal Water District and the Long Beach Water Department
("GWMA Members");
WHEREAS, because GWMA Members already currently pay annual membership
fees that pay for GWMA administrative costs, GWMA Members that participate in the
cost share for the Monitoring Costs shall pay a three percent (3%) administrative fee on
each payment to cover various administrative costs;
WHEREAS, MS4 Permittees that are not GWMA Members that participate in the
cost share for the Monitoring Costs shall pay a five percent (5%) administrative fee on
each payment to cover various administrative costs;
WHEREAS, currently a majority of MS4 Permittees tributary to the Los Angeles
and San Gabriel River systems have committed to cost share for the Monitoring Costs,
WHEREAS, because of the financial savings and benefits resulting from this
cost -sharing arrangement, other MS4 Permittees may request to participate in the cost
sharing of the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, the cost -share formula, set forth in Exhibit "A" of this Agreement,
currently assumes the participation of the maximum number of MS4 Permittees required
to comply with the monitoring requirements of the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL;
WHEREAS, it is currently unknown how many MS4 Permittees will ultimately
participate in the cost sharing of the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, because some definite maximum cost share amount per
participating Permittee is required for planning purposes, this Agreement requires each
participating Permittee to submit an initial payment that includes the first year payment
plus a deposit that is 25% of the first year payment cost identified in Exhibit "A" of this
Agreement, to account for possible non -participation of some MS4 Permittees in the
cost share for the Monitoring Costs,
Page 2 of 10
12664/0001/1816452-2
04/06/15
WHEREAS, depending on how many MS4 Permittees ultimately participate in
the cost sharing for the Monitoring Costs, each participating Permittee's annual cost
share amount will be adjusted and the GWMA will notify each participating Permittee of
its adjusted annual cost share amount in writing;
WHEREAS, the "Initial Payment Amount" and the "Annual Payment Amount"
identified in Section 8 ("Financial Terms") of this Agreement represent the maximum
dollar amounts that the Permittee is required to submit to the GWMA, but may be
reduced based on the final number of MS4 Permittees that participate in the cost
sharing for the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, if the actual cost share amount is less than the Initial Payment
Amount paid by the Permittee, the GWMA will notify the Permittee and shall credit any
balance in excess of the actual cost share amount towards the Permittee's "Annual
Payment Amount" in subsequent years;
WHEREAS, the Permittee desires to share in the Monitoring Costs;
WHEREAS, the Permittee and the GWMA are collectively referred to as the
"Parties";
WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that authorizing GWMA to hire
additional consultant as necessary to install the Monitoring Stations and conduct the
monitoring required by the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL will be beneficial to the
Parties;
WHEREAS, the Permittee agrees to pay: (a) its proportional share of the
Monitoring Costs to be incurred by the GWMA in accordance with the Cost Sharing
Formula reflected in Exhibit "A", (b) a deposit of 25% of the "Initial Payment Amount"
and a deposit of 25% of the "Annual Payment Amount"; and (c) applicable
administrative fees to cover administrative costs; and
WHEREAS, the role of the GWMA is to: (1) invoice and collect funds from the
Permittee to cover its portion of the Monitoring Costs; and (2) hire and retain
consultants to install Monitoring Stations and conduct monitoring at the Monitoring
Stations.

provides the Permittee with thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate the
Agreement. The terminated Permittee shall remain obligated to GWMA for its

the Monitoring Stations.
(h) Any delinquent payments by the Permittee shall accrue compound
interest at the average rate of interest paid by the Local Agency Investment Fund during
the time that the payment is delinquent.

contractor for performance of the obligations described in this Agreement. The GWMA's

provides written notice of termination to the GWMA by February 15th immediately prior

the Permittee is responsible for its Annual Payment Amount only for FY 2015-2016, not
for FY 2016-2017). If the Permittee terminates the Agreement, the Permittee shall
remain liable for any loss, debt, or liability otherwise incurred through the end of the new
fiscal year.
(b) The GWMA may, with a vote of the GWMA Board, terminate this
Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Permittee. Any

sharing for the Monitoring Costs and shall not be entitled to appoint a representative or

Stations for any fiscal year in which the participant has paid its Annual Payment
Amount.

CITY COUNCIL R tWOAGENDA REPORT

FROM: James DeStefano, City Mane
e
TITLE: RESOLUTION 2015-XX ADOPTIN THE FY 2015-16 STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT,
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Submitted for Council's review and approval is the FY 2015-16 Investment Policy and accompanying
resolution. The proposed investment policy states the goals of the City's investment activities, the
types of investments in which the City is allowed to invest its funds and the reporting requirements.
It has been several years since the City's Investment Policy has been updated. The investment
market, as well as the State Government Code regulating local agency investments, has changed
over time. The City's Policy has been updated to reflect these changes and to also allow more
flexibility in safely achieving optimal investment performance.
Previous versions of the Investment Policy were prepared using the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) model. The FY 2015-16 Investment Policy was prepared in accordance with the
provisions outlined in the California Municipal Treasurer's Association (CMTA) Investment Policy
Certification Program. CMTA is solely focused on public agency treasury management in the State of
California which lends itself more closely to the City's investment requirements and goals.
Highlights of the changes to the Policy include:
• An outline of the scope of the Policy
• Update of the Standards of Prudence
• Update of the investment objectives to highlight safety, liquidity and yield
• A paragraph detailing the delegation of authority to perform all duties related and
associated with the City Treasurer position.
• A section was added to address ethics and conflicts of interest
• A section which details the requirements of the annual review of authorized financial
dealers and institutions along with the current list of authorized broker/dealers.
• A matrix of authorized investments, the legal requirements as outlined in the California
Government Code and the City's requirements related to the investments. Changes

allowable threshold.

requirements
• A section on internal controls was added.
• The Glossary of Cash and Investment Management Terms was updated to encompass

Policy after City Council adoption.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 2nd Day of June, 2015.
Steve Tye, Mayor
I, Tommye Cribbins, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar, do hereby
certify that the foregoing Resolution was passed, approved and adopted at a
regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the 2nd
day of June, 2015, by the following vote:
AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS:
NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS:
ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS:
ABSTAINED: COUNCIL MEMBERS:
Tommye Cribbins, City Clerk
Exhibit A
INVESTMENT POLICY— FY 2015-2016
19111i711[swg
This Statement of Investment Policy ("Policy") is intended to provide guidelines for the
prudent investment of the City of Diamond Bar's ("City") temporarily idle cash and to
outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled
funds in accordance with the applicable local, state and federal laws.
It is the policy of the City Council to review, update and adopt the Policy on an annual
basis.
2.0 SCOPE:
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City.
The Policy applies to the following funds and is accounted for in the City's annual
audited financial statements.
A. General Fund
B. Special Revenue Funds
C. Debt Service Funds
D. Capital Improvement Fund
E. Internal Service Funds
3.0 STANDARDS OF PRUDENCE:
The City Council, City Treasurer and his designee (hereafter, collectively, the "City
Treasurer") and others who are authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of
the City when investing public funds pursuant to this policy are trustees and therefore
fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting,
purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling and managing public funds, a trustee shall act
with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing,
including but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs
of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those
matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to
safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations
of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, the
City Treasurer is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law.
4.0 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES:
The investment of funds of the City is directed to the goals of safety, liquidity and yield.
The authority governing investments for municipal governments is set forth in the
Government Code, Sections 53601, et. seq.
Exhibit A
1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure
the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City
will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with
independent returns.
2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating
requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by
structuring the portfolio so that securities mature at the same time as cash is
needed to meet anticipated demands. Additionally, since all possible cash
demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio will consist largely of securities with
active secondary or resale markets or local government investment pools which
offer same -day liquidity for short-term funds.
3. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of achieving a
competitive market rate of return or yield, while taking into account the investment
risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary
importance compared to safety and liquidity. The core investments shall be limited
to low risk securities to be held to maturity with the following exceptions:
a. A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of
principal
b. A security swap would improve the quality, yield or target duration of the
portfolio.
c. The liquidity needs of the portfolio require security to be sold.
All1l21 Nxr7-1 AIEel N]ye1119:191 V 11 VA
Authority to manage the City's investment program is derived from Section 2.16.210
of the City's Municipal Code which designates the City Manager to perform all duties
associated with the legal function of the treasurer position. Management
responsibility is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer who shall be responsible for
all transactions undertaken and for establishing a system of controls to regulate the
activities of subordinate officials, and their procedures in the absence of the City
Treasurer.
6.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal
business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or
which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and
investment officials are required to file annual disclosure statements as required for "public
officials who manage public investments" (as defined and required by the Political Reform
Act Government Code Sections 81000 et seq., related regulations and the Fair Political
Practices Commission).
2
Exhibit A
The City Treasurer will maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to
provide investment services to the City in the State of California. A determination should
be made to insure that all approved broker/dealer firms and individuals covering the City
of Diamond Bar are reputable and trustworthy. In addition, the broker/dealer firms should
have the ability to meet all of their financial obligations in dealing with the City. The firms
and individuals covering the City should be knowledgeable and experienced in public
agency investing and the investment products involved. No public deposit shall be made
except in a qualified public depository as established by State law. All financial institutions
and broker/dealers who desire to conduct investment transactions with the City must
supply the City Treasurer with the following: audited financial statements, proof of NASD
certification, trading resolution, proof of State of California registration, completed
broker/dealer questionnaire, certification of having read the City's investment policy and
depository contracts.
An annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders will be
conducted by the Treasurer. A current audited financial statement is required to be on file
for each financial institution and broker/dealer with which the City invests.

8.0 AUTHORIZED AND SUITABLE INVESTMENTS
The City's investments are governed by the California Government Code (CGC). Specific
types of investments are defined in CGC 53635. Also, CGC 53635.2 permits the use of
CGC 53601 investment instruments, therefore, both CGC 53601 et seq. and CGC 53635
et seq. are the governing sections pertaining to legal investments. Investments will only
be made in authorized securities with a maturity date of five (5) years or less from the
transaction settlement date.
For the purpose of these investments, the compliance with the investment percentage(s),
in regards to the total investment portfolio, shall be calculated on the date the investment
is acquired. If the percentage is legally compliant on the date of purchase, then
compliance with the law shall have been met.

10.0 REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The securities held by the City must be in compliance with Section 8.0 Authorized and
Suitable Investments at the time of purchase. Because some securities may not comply
with Section 8.0 subsequent to the date of purchase the City Treasurer shall at least
quarterly review the portfolio to identify those securities that do not comply. The City
Treasurer shall establish procedures to report to the City Council major and critical
incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.
Should any investment listed in Section 8 exceed a percentage -of -portfolio limitation due
to an incident such as fluctuation in portfolio size, the affected securities may be held to
maturity to avoid losses. When no loss is indicated, the Treasurer shall consider
rebalancing the portfolio after evaluating the expected length of time that it will be
imbalanced.
Portfolio percentage limits are in place in order to ensure diversification of the City
investment portfolio; a small temporary imbalance will not significantly impair that strategy.
11.0 LAIF
The City Treasurer shall conduct a thorough investigation of LAIF prior to investing and
on a continual basis. In conducting this investigation the City Treasurer shall consider
eligible investments, the written statement of investment policy, interest calculations,
distributions, how gains and losses are treated, how securities are safeguarded, how often
securities are priced and the program audited, who may invest and in what manner, the
schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings, the fee schedule, whether
reserves, retained earnings, etc., are utilized, and whether LAIF is eligible for and will
accept bond proceeds. Attached as Attachment C is a LAIF Program Description.
12.0 COLLATERALIZATION
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit and
repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of
security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value of principal
and accrued interest. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for
6
Exhibit A
deposits up to the maximum dollar amount which are covered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, currently $250,000.
13.0 SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by
the City shall be conducted on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be
held by a third party custodian designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping
receipts.
14.0 MAXIMUM MATURITIES
To the extent possible the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash
flow requirements. The prescribed method of the City of Diamond Bar shall be referred to
as "layering" the investments. Monies not needed to cover immediate operating costs
may be invested up to a five year maturity.
15.0 INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City Treasurer shall establish procedures that separate the internal responsibility for
management and accounting of the investment portfolio. An analysis by an independent,
external auditor shall be conducted annually to review internal controls, account activity
and compliance with policies and procedures.
16.0 REPORTING
As required by California Government Code Section 53607, a monthly report of
investments will be provided to the City Council. The required elements of this report are
as follows:
a) Type of investment
b) Issuer
c) Date of Maturity
d ) Amount of deposit or cost of security
e) Current market value of securities with maturity in excess of twelve months
f) Statement relating the report to the Statement of Investment Policy
g) Rate of interest
h) Statement that there are sufficient funds to meet the next six months' obligations
After safety, the basic premise underlying the City of Diamond Bar's investment
philosophy is to insure that funds are always available when needed.
17.0 Investment Policy Adoption
The City's investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The

Glossary of Cash and Investment
Management Terms
Accrued Interest. Interest earned but which has not yet been paid or received
Agency. See "Federal Agency Securities."
Ask Price. Price at which a broker/dealer offers to sell a security to an investor. Also known as
"offered price."
Asset Backed Securities (ABS). A fixed -income security backed by notes or receivables
against assets other than real estate. Generally issued by special purpose companies that "own"
the assets and issue the ABS. Examples include securities backed by auto loans, credit card
receivables, home equity loans, manufactured housing loans, farm equipment loans and aircraft
leases.
Average Life. The average length of time that an issue of serial bonds and/or term bonds
with a mandatory sinking fund feature is expected to be outstanding.
Bankers' Acceptance (BA's). A draft or bill of exchange drawn upon and accepted by a bank.
Frequently used to finance shipping of international goods. Used as a short-term credit instrument,
bankers' acceptances are traded at a discount from face value as a money market instrument in the
secondary market on the basis of the credit quality of the guaranteeing bank.
Basis Point. One hundredth of one percent, or 0.01 %. Thus 1 % equals 100 basis points.
Bearer Security. A security whose ownership is determined by the holder of the physical
security. Typically, there is no registration on the issuer's books. Title to bearer securities is
transferred by delivery of the physical security or certificate. Also known as "physical securities."
Benchmark Bills: In November 1999, FNMA introduced its Benchmark Bills program, a short-
term debt securities issuance program to supplement its existing discount note program. The
program includes a schedule of larger, weekly issues in three- and six-month maturities and
biweekly issues in one-year for Benchmark Bills. Each issue is brought to market via a Dutch
(single price) auction. FNMA conducts a weekly auction for each Benchmark Bill maturity and
accepts both competitive and non-competitive bids through a web based auction system. This
program is in addition to the variety of other discount note maturities, with rates posted on a daily
basis, which FNMA offers. FNMA's Benchmark Bills are unsecured general obligations that are
issued in book- entry form through the Federal Reserve Banks. There are no periodic payments
of interest on Benchmark Bills, which are sold at a discount from the principal amount and
payable at par at maturity. Issues under the Benchmark program constitute the same credit
standing as other FNMA discount notes; they simply add organization and liquidity to the short-
term Agency discount note market.
Benchmark Notes/Bonds: Benchmark Notes and Bonds are a series of FNMA "bullet" maturities
(non -callable) issued according to a pre -announced calendar. Under its Benchmark Notes/Bonds
program, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 30- year maturities are issued each quarter. Each Benchmark Notes new
13
issue has a minimum size of $4 billion, 30- year new issues having a minimum size of $1
billion, with re -openings based on investor demand to further enhance liquidity. The amount
of non -callable issuance has allowed FNMA to build a yield curve in Benchmark Notes and
Bonds in maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years. The liquidity emanating from these large size
issues has facilitated favorable financing opportunities through the development of a liquid
overnight and term repo market. Issues under the Benchmark program constitute the same
credit standing as other FNMA issues; they simply add organization and liquidity to the
intermediate- and long-term Agency market.
Benchmark. A market index used as a comparative basis for measuring the performance of an
investment portfolio. A performance benchmark should represent a close correlation to
investment guidelines, risk tolerance and duration of the actual portfolio's investments.
Bid Price. Price at which a broker/dealer offers to purchase a security from an investor.
Bond Market Association (BMA). The bond market trade association representing the largest
securities markets in the world. In addition to publishing a Master Repurchase Agreement, widely
accepted as the industry standard document for Repurchase Agreements, the BMA also
recommends bond market closures and early closes due to holidays.
Bond. Financial obligation for which the issuer promises to pay the bondholder (the purchaser
or owner of the bond) a specified stream of future cash flows, including periodic interest payments
and a principal repayment.
Book Entry Securities. Securities that are recorded in a customer's account electronically
through one of the financial markets electronic delivery and custody systems, such as the Fed
Securities wire, DTC and PTC (as opposed to bearer or physical securities). The trend is toward
a certificate -free society in order to cut down on paperwork and to diminish investors' concerns
about the certificates themselves. The vast majority of securities are now book entry securities.
Book Value. The value at which a debt security is reflected on the holder's records at any point
in time. Book value is also called "amortized cost" as it represents the original cost of an
investment adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Also called "carrying
value." Book value can vary over time as an investment approaches maturity and differs from
"market value" in that it is not affected by changes in market interest rates.
Broker/Dealer. A person or firm transacting securities business with customers. A "broker"
acts as an agent between buyers and sellers, and receives a commission for these services. A
"dealer" buys and sells financial assets from its own portfolio. A dealer takes risk by owning
inventory of securities, whereas a broker merely matches up buyers and sellers. See also "Primary
Dealer."
Bullet Notes/Bonds. Notes or bonds that have a single maturity date and are non -callable.
California Local Agency Bonds: Bonds that are issued by a California county, city, city and
county, including a chartered city or county, school district, community college district, public
district, county board of education, county superintendent of schools, or any public or municipal
corporation.
14
Call Date. Date at which a call option may be or is exercised
Call Option. The right, but not the obligation, of an issuer of a security to redeem a security at
a specified value and at a specified date or dates prior to its stated maturity date. Most fixed -
income calls are a par, but can be at any previously established price. Securities issued with a
call provision typically carry a higher yield than similar securities issued without a call feature.
There are three primary types of call options (1) European - one-time calls, (2) Bermudan -
periodically on a predetermined schedule (quarterly, semi-annual, annual), and (3) American
- continuously callable at any time on or after the call date. There is usually a notice period of at
least 5 business days prior to a call date.
Callable Bonds/Notes. Securities, which contain an imbedded call option giving the issuer, the
right to redeem the securities prior to maturity at a predetermined price and time.
Certificate of Deposit (CD). Bank obligation issued by a financial institution generally offering
a fixed rate of return (coupon) for a specified period of time (maturity). Can be as long as 10

of a loan, secure deposits of public monies, or provide security for a repurchase agreement.
Collateralization. Process by which a borrower pledges securities, property, or other deposits
for securing the repayment of a loan and/or security.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO). A security that pools together mortgages and
separates them into short, medium, and long -tern positions (called tranches). Tranches are set
up to pay different rates of interest depending upon their maturity. Interest payments are usually
paid monthly. In "plain vanilla" CMOs, principal is not paid on a tranche until all shorter tranches
have been paid off. This system provides interest and principal in a more predictable manner. A
single pool of mortgages can be carved up into numerous tranches each with its own payment and
risk characteristics.
Commercial Paper. Short term unsecured promissory note issued by a company or financial
institution. Issued at a discount and matures for par or face value. Usually a maximum maturity
of 270 days, and given a short-term debt rating by one or more NRSROs.

indicates greater sensitivity of a bond's price to interest rate changes.
Corporate Note. A debt instrument issued by a corporation with a maturity of greater than one
year and less than ten years.
Counterparty. The other party in a two party financial transaction. "Counterparty risk" refers to
the risk that the other party, to a transaction, will fail in its related obligations. For example,
the bank or broker/dealer in a repurchase agreement.
Coupon Rate. Annual rate of interest on a debt security, expressed as a percentage of the bond's
face value.
15
Current Yield. Annual rate of return on a bond based on its price. Calculated as (coupon rate /
price), but does not accurately reflect a bond's true yield level.
Custody. Safekeeping services offered by a bank, financial institution or trust company, referred
to as the "custodian." Service normally includes the holding and reporting of the customer's
securities, the collection and disbursement of income, securities settlement and market values.
Dealer. A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and
selling for his own account.
Delivery Versus Payment (DVP). Settlement procedure in which securities are delivered
versus payment of cash, but only after cash has been received. Most security transactions,
including those through the Fed Securities Wire system and DTC, are done DVP as a protection
for both the buyer and seller of securities.
Depository Trust Company (DTC). A firm through which members can use a computer to
arrange for securities to be delivered to other members without physical delivery of certificates.
A member of the Federal Reserve System and owned mostly by the New York Stock Exchange,
the Depository Trust Company uses computerized debit and credit entries. Most corporate
securities, commercial paper, CDs and BAs clear through DTC.
Derivatives. For hedging purposes, common derivatives are options, futures, swaps and
swaptions. All Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs") are derivatives. (1) Financial
instruments whose return profile is linked to, or derived from, the movement of one or more
underlying index or security, and may include a leveraging factor, or (2) financial contracts based
upon notional amounts whose value is derived from an underlying index or security (interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, equities or commodities).
Derivative Security. Financial instrument created from, or whose value depends upon, one or
more underlying assets or indexes of asset values.
Designated Bond. FFCB's regularly issued, liquid, non -callable securities that generally have
a 2 or 3 year original maturity. New issues of Designated Bonds are $1 billion or larger. Re -
openings of existing Designated Bond issues are generally a minimum of $100 million.
Designated Bonds are offered through a syndicate of two to six dealers. Twice each month the
Funding Corporation announces its intention to issue a new Designated Bond, reopen an existing
issue, or to not issue or reopen a Designated Bond. Issues under the Designated Bond program
constitute the same credit standing as other FFCB issues; they simply add organization and
liquidity to the intermediate- and long-term Agency market.
Discount Notes. Unsecured general obligations issued by Federal Agencies at a discount.
Discount notes mature at par and can range in maturity from overnight to one year. Very
large primary (new issue) and secondary markets.
Discount Rate. Rate charged by the system of Federal Reserve Banks on overnight loans to
member banks. Changes to this rate are administered by the Federal Reserve and closely mirror
changes to the "fed funds rate."
Discount Securities. Non -interest bearing money market instruments that are issued at discount
16
and redeemed at maturity for full face value. Examples include: U.S. Treasury Bills, Federal
Agency Discount Notes, Bankers' Acceptances and Commercial Paper.
Discount. The amount by which a bond or other financial instrument sells below its face
value. See also "Premium."
Diversification. Dividing investment funds among a variety of security types, maturities,
industries and issuers offering potentially independent returns.

Duff & Phelps. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on corporate and bank debt
issues.
Duration. The weighted average maturity of a security's or portfolio's cash flows, where the
present values of the cash flows serve as the weights. The greater the duration of a
security/portfolio, the greater its percentage price volatility with respect to changes in interest
rates. Used as a measure of risk and a key tool for managing a portfolio versus a benchmark and
for hedging risk. There are also different kinds of duration used for different purposes (e.g.
MacAuley Duration, Modified Duration).
Fannie Mae. See "Federal National Mortgage Association."
Fed Money Wire. A computerized communications system that connects the Federal Reserve
System with its member banks, certain U. S. Treasury offices, and the Washington D.C. office
of the Commodity Credit Corporation. The Fed Money Wire is the book entry system used to
transfer cash balances between banks for themselves and for customer accounts.

the proceeds to make loans and provide other assistance to farmers and farm -affiliated
businesses. Consists of the consolidated operations of the Banks for Cooperatives, Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks, and Federal Land Banks. Frequent issuer of discount notes, agency
notes and callable agency securities. FFCB debt is not an obligation of, nor is it guaranteed by

to the U.S. financial system and agricultural industry. Also issues notes under its "designated note"
program.
Federal Funds (Fed Funds). Funds placed in Federal Reserve Banks by depository
institutions in excess of current reserve requirements, and frequently loaned or borrowed on an
overnight basis between depository institutions.

government sponsored enterprise (GSE) system, consisting of wholesale banks (currently twelve
district banks) owned by their member banks, which provides correspondent banking services and
credit to various financial institutions, financed by the issuance of securities. The principal
purpose of the FHLB is to add liquidity to the mortgage markets. Although FHLB does not
directly fund mortgages, it provides a stable supply of credit to thrift institutions that make new
mortgage loans. FHLB debt is not an obligation of, nor is it guaranteed by the U.S. government,

headed by the seven member Board of Governors known as the "Federal Reserve Board" and
headed by its Chairman.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc (FINRA). A private corporation that acts as a
self -regulatory organization (SRO). FINRA is the successor to the National Association of

Ginnie Mae. See "Government National Mortgage Association".
Global Notes: Notes designed to qualify for immediate trading in both the domestic U.S. capital
market and in foreign markets around the globe. Usually large issues that are sold to investors

19
Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). Privately owned entity subject to federal
regulation and supervision, created by the U.S. Congress to reduce the cost of capital for certain
borrowing sectors of the economy such as students, farmers, and homeowners. GSEs carry the
implicit backing of the U.S. Government, but they are not direct obligations of the U.S.

FHLB, FHLMC, FNMA and SLMA.
Government Sponsored Enterprise Security. A security issued by a Government Sponsored

backed securities.
Internal Controls. An internal control structure ensures that the assets of the entity are protected
from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable
assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1)
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls should
address the following points:
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working
in conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By
separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who
record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including
appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third
party for custodial safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book -entry securities are much easier
to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place.
Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The
potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff
members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid
improper actions. Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure
that is contingent on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to
the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic
20
transactions, all transactions should be supported by written communications and
approved by the appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on
letterhead and if the safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures.
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third -party
custodian - The designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into
and will address the following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities
of each party making and receiving wire transfers.
Inverse Floater. A floating rate security structured in such a way that it reacts inversely to
the direction of interest rates. Considered risky as their value moves in the opposite direction of
normal fixed -income investments and whose interest rate can fall to zero.
Investment Advisor. A company that provides professional advice managing portfolios,
investment recommendations and/or research in exchange for a management fee.
Investment Adviser Act of 1940. Federal legislation that sets the standards by which investment
companies, such as mutual funds, are regulated in the areas of advertising, promotion,
performance reporting requirements, and securities valuations.
Investment Grade. Bonds considered suitable for preservation of invested capital; bonds rated
a minimum of Baa3 by Moody's, BBB- by Standard & Poor's, or BBB- by Fitch. Although
"BBB" rated bonds are considered investment grade, most public agencies cannot invest in
securities rated below "A."
Liquidity. Relative ease of converting an asset into cash without significant loss of value.
Also, a relative measure of cash and near -cash items in a portfolio of assets. Also, a term
describing the marketability of a money market security correlating to the narrowness of the
spread between the bid and ask prices.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF): A voluntary investment fund open to state and local
government entities and certain non-profit organizations in California in which organization pools
their funds for investment. LAIF is managed by the State Treasurer's Office.
Long -Term Core Investment Program. Funds that are not needed within a one year period.
Market Value. The fair market value of a security or commodity. The price at which a willing
buyer and seller would pay for a security.

Medium Term Notes (MTN's). Used frequently to refer to corporate notes of medium maturity
(5-years and under). Technically, any debt security issued by a corporate or depository institution
21
with a maturity from 1 to 10 years and issued under an MTN shelf registration. Usually issued
in smaller issues with varying coupons and maturities, and underwritten by a variety of

size and with a fixed coupon and maturity).
Money Market. The market in which short-term debt instruments (bills, commercial paper,
bankers' acceptance, etc.) are issued and traded.
Money Market Mutual Fund (MMF). A type of mutual fund that invests solely in money
market instruments, such as: U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, and
repurchase agreements. Money market mutual funds are registered with the SEC under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and are subject "rule 2a-7" which significantly limits average
maturity and credit quality of holdings. MMF's are managed to maintain a stable net asset
value (NAV) of $1.00. Many MMFs carry ratings by a NRSRO.
Moody's Investors Service. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on corporate and
municipal debt issues.
Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS). Mortgage -backed securities represent an ownership
interest in a pool of mortgage loans made by financial institutions, such as savings and loans,
commercial banks, or mortgage companies, to finance the borrower's purchase of a home or
other real estate. The majority of MBS are issued and/or guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA and
FHLMC. There are a variety of MBS structures, some of which can be very risky and
complicated. All MBS have reinvestment risk as actual principal and interest payments are
dependent on the payment of the underlying mortgages which can be prepaid by mortgage
holders to refinance and lower rates or simply because the underlying property was sold.
Mortgage Pass -Through Securities. A pool of residential mortgage loans with the monthly
interest and principal distributed to investors on a pro-rata basis. Largest issuer is GNMA.
Municipal Note/Bond. A debt instrument issued by a state or local government unit or public
agency. The vast majority of municipals are exempt from state and federal income tax, although
some non -qualified issues are taxable.
Mutual Fund. Portfolio of securities professionally managed by a registered investment
company that issues shares to investors. Many different types of mutual funds exist (bond,
equity, money fund); all except money market funds operate on a variable net asset value (NAV).
Negotiable Certificate of Deposit (Negotiable CD). Large denomination CDs ($100,000 and
larger) that are issued in bearer form and can be traded in the secondary market.
Net Asset Value. The market value of one share of an investment company, such as a mutual
fund. This figure is calculated by totaling a fund's assets which includes securities, cash, and any
accrued earnings, subtracting this from the fund's liabilities and dividing this total by the number
of shares outstanding. This is calculated once a day based on the closing price for each security
in the fund's portfolio. (See below.)
[(Total assets) - (Liabilities)]/(Number of shares outstanding)
22

considered the largest players in the U.S. Treasury securities market.
Prime Paper. Commercial paper of high quality. Highest rated paper is A-1+/A-I by S&P and
P-1 by Moody's.
Principal. Face value of a financial instrument on which interest accrues. May be less than
par value if some principal has been repaid or retired. For a transaction, principal is par
value times price and includes any premium or discount.
Prudent Investor Standard. Standard that requires that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing,
acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill,
prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to,
the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person
acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of
a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs
of the agency. More stringent than the "prudent person" standard as it implies a level of
knowledge commensurate with the responsibility at hand.
Range Note. A type of structured note that accrues interest daily at a set coupon rate that is
tied to an index. Most range notes have two coupon levels; a higher accrual rate for the period
the index is within a designated range, the lower accrual rate for the period that the index falls
outside the designated range. This lower rate may be zero and may result in zero earnings.
Rate of Return. Amount of income received from an investment, expressed as a percentage of
the amount invested.
23
Realized Gains (Losses). The difference between the sale price of an investment and
its book value. Gains/losses are "realized" when the security is actually sold, as compared to
"unrealized" gains/losses which are based on current market value. See "Unrealized Gains
(Losses)."
Reference Bills: FHLMC's short-term debt program created to supplement its existing discount
note program by offering issues from one month through one year, auctioned on a weekly or on
an alternating four -week basis (depending upon maturity) offered in sizeable volumes ($1 billion
and up) on a cycle of regular, standardized issuance. Globally sponsored and distributed,
Reference Bill issues are intended to encourage active trading and market -making and facilitate
the development of a term repo market. The program was designed to offer predictable supply,
pricing transparency and liquidity, thereby providing alternatives to U.S. Treasury bills.
FHLMC's Reference Bills are unsecured general corporate obligations. This program
supplements the corporation's existing discount note program. Issues under the Reference
program constitute the same credit standing as other FHLMC discount notes; they simply add
organization and liquidity to the short-term Agency discount note market.
Reference Notes: FHLMC's intermediate -term debt program with issuances of 2, 3, 5, 10 and 30-
year maturities. Initial issuances range from $2 - $6 billion with re -openings ranging $1- $4 billion.
The notes are high -quality bullet structures securities that pay interest semiannually. Issues under
the Reference program constitute the same credit standing as other FHLMC notes; they simply
add organization and liquidity to the intermediate- and long-term Agency market.
Repurchase Agreement (Repo). A short-term investment vehicle where an investor agrees
to buy securities from a counterparty and simultaneously agrees to resell the securities back to
the counterparty at an agreed upon time and for an agreed upon price. The difference between
the purchase price and the sale price represents interest earned on the agreement. In effect, it
represents a collateralized loan to the investor, where the securities are the collateral. Can be
DVP, where securities are delivered to the investor's custodial bank, or "tri-party" where the
securities are delivered to a third party intermediary. Any type of security can be used as
"collateral," but only some types provide the investor with special bankruptcy protection under
the law. Repos should be undertaken only when an appropriate BMA approved master repurchase
agreement is in place.
Reverse Repurchase Agreement (Reverse Repo). A repo from the point of view of the original
seller of securities. Used by dealers to finance their inventory of securities by essentially
borrowing at short-term rates. Can also be used to leverage a portfolio and in this sense, can be
considered risky if used improperly.
Safekeeping. Service offered for a fee, usually by financial institutions, for the holding of
securities and other valuables. Safekeeping is a component of custody services.
Secondary Market. Markets for the purchase and sale of any previously issued financial
instrument.
Securities Lending. An arrangement between and investor and a custody bank that allows the
custody bank to "loan" the investors investment holdings, reinvest the proceeds in permitted
24
investments, and shares any profits with the investor. Should be governed by a securities lending
agreement. Can increase the risk of a portfolio in that the investor takes on the default risk on the
reinvestment at the discretion of the custodian.
Sinking Fund. A separate accumulation of cash or investments (including earnings on
investments) in a fund in accordance with the terms of a trust agreement or indenture, funded by
periodic deposits by the issuer (or other entity responsible for debt service), for the purpose of
assuring timely availability of moneys for payment of debt service. Usually used in connection
with term bonds.
Spread. The difference between the price of a security and similar maturity U.S. Treasury
investments, expressed in percentage terms or basis points. A spread can also be the absolute
difference in yield between two securities. The securities can be in different markets or within
the same securities market between different credits, sectors, or other relevant factors.
Standard & Poor's. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on corporate and
municipal debt issues.
STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities). Acronym
applied to U.S. Treasury securities that have had their coupons and principal repayments
separated into individual zero -coupon Treasury securities. The same technique and "strips"
description can be applied to non -Treasury securities (e.g. FNMA strips).
Structured Notes. Notes that have imbedded into their structure options such as step-up coupons
or derivative- based returns.
Supranational Debt. The debt of an international or multi -lateral financial agency used to finance
economic and infrastructure development, environmental protection, poverty reduction and
renewable energy around the world. Supranational debt is typically rated AAA by most NRSRO's
as theses entities are well -capitalized, have significant capital commitments from a diverse capital
base, conservative lending and risk management practices and strong supervision.
Swap. Trading one asset for another.
TAP Notes: Federal Agency notes issued under the FHLB TAP program. Launched in 6/99 as
a refinement to the FHLB bullet bond auction process. In a break from the FHLB's traditional
practice of bringing numerous small issues to market with similar maturities, the TAP Issue
Program uses the four most common maturities and reopens them up regularly through a
competitive auction. These maturities (2, 3, 5 and 10 year) will remain open for the calendar
quarter, after which they will be closed and a new series of TAP issues will be opened to replace
them. This reduces the number of separate bullet bonds issued, but generates enhanced awareness
and liquidity in the marketplace through increased issue size and secondary market volume.
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). One of the large Federal Agencies. A wholly owned
corporation of the United States government that was established in 1933 to develop the resources
of the Tennessee Valley region in order to strengthen the regional and national economy and the
national defense. Power operations are separated from non -power operations. TVA securities
represent obligations of TVA, payable solely from TVA's net power proceeds, and are neither
25
obligations of nor guaranteed by the United States. TVA is currently authorized to issue debt up
to $30 billion. Under this authorization, TVA may also obtain advances from the U.S. Treasury
of up to
$150 million. Frequent issuer of discount notes, agency notes and callable agency securities.
Total Return. Investment performance measured over a period of time that includes coupon
interest, interest on interest, and both realized and unrealized gains or losses. Total return
includes, therefore, any market value appreciation/depreciation on investments held at period end.
Treasuries. Collective term used to describe debt instruments backed by the U.S.
Government and issued through the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Includes Treasury bills,
Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Also a benchmark term used as a basis by which the yields
of non -Treasury securities are compared (e.g., "trading at 50 basis points over Treasuries").
Treasury Bills (T-Bills). Short-term direct obligations of the United States Government issued
with an original term of one year or less. Treasury bills are sold at a discount from face value
and do not pay interest before maturity. The difference between the purchase price of the bill
and the maturity value is the interest earned on the bill. Currently, the U.S. Treasury issues 4-
week, 13-week and 26-week T-Bills
Treasury Bonds. Long-term interest -bearing debt securities backed by the U.S. Government
and issued with maturities of ten years and longer by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The Treasury stopped issuing Treasury Bonds in August 2001.
Treasury Notes. Intermediate interest -bearing debt securities backed by the U.S. Government
and issued with maturities ranging from one to ten years by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The Treasury currently issues
2-year, 5-year and 10-year Treasury Notes.
Trustee. A bank designated by an issuer of securities as the custodian of funds and official
representative of bondholders. Trustees are appointed to insure compliance with the bond
documents and to represent bondholders in enforcing their contract with the issuer.
Uniform Net Capital Rule. SEC regulation 150-1 that outlines the minimum net capital ratio
(ratio of indebtedness to net liquid capital) of member firms and non-member broker/dealers.
Unrealized Gains (Losses). The difference between the market value of an investment and its
book value. Gains/losses are "realized" when the security is actually sold, as compared to
"unrealized" gains/losses which are based on current market value. See also "Realized Gains
(Losses)."
Variable -Rate Security. A bond that bears interest at a rate that varies over time based on a
specified schedule of adjustment (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annually or annually). See
also "Floating Rate Note."
Weighted Average Maturity (or just "Average Maturity"). The average maturity of all
securities and investments of a portfolio, determined by multiplying the par or principal value of
each security or investment by its maturity (days or years), summing the products, and dividing
26
the sum by the total principal value of the portfolio. A simple measure of risk of a fixed -income
portfolio.
Weighted Average Maturity to Call. The average maturity of all securities and investments
of a portfolio, adjusted to substitute the first call date per security for maturity date for those
securities with call provisions.
Yield Curve. A graphic depiction of yields on like securities in relation to remaining maturities
spread over a time line. The traditional yield curve depicts yields on U.S. Treasuries, although
yield curves exist for Federal Agencies and various credit quality corporates as well. Yield
curves can be positively sloped (normal) where longer -term investments have higher yields, or
"inverted" (uncommon) where longer -term investments have lower yields than shorter ones.
Yield to Call (YTC). Same as "Yield to Maturity," except the return is measured to the first call
date rather than the maturity date. Yield to call can be significantly higher or lower than a
security's yield to maturity.
Yield to Maturity (YTM). Calculated return on an investment, assuming all cash flows from
the security are reinvested at the same original yield. Can be higher or lower than the coupon rate
depending on market rates and whether the security was purchased at a premium or discount.
There are different conventions for calculating YTM for various types of securities.
Yield. There are numerous methods of yield determination. In this glossary, see also "Current
Yield," "Yield Curve," "Yield to Call" and "Yield to Maturity."

Appendix C
Local Agency Investment Fund
Program Description
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a voluntary program created by statute in
1977 as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts
and it continues today under Treasurer John Chiang's administration. The enabling
legislation for the LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code.
This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio
which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the
Treasurer's Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer. This in-house
management team is comprised of civil servants who have each worked for the State
Treasurer's Office for an average of 20 years.
The LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PIMA). The PMIA began in
1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an
in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer, Director
of Finance and State Controller.
The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides oversight for LAIF. The Board
consists of five members as designated by statute. The Chairman is the State
Treasurer or his designated representative. Two members qualified by training and
experience in the field of investment or finance, and the State Treasurer appoints two
members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers or business managers employed
by any county, city or local district or municipal corporation of this state. The term of
each appointment is two years or at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430
and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on
a delivery versus payment basis using a third party custodian. All investments are
purchased at market and a market valuation is conducted monthly.
Additionally, the PMIA has Policies, Goals, and Objectives for the portfolio to make
certain that our goals of Safety, Liquidity and Yield are not jeopardized and that prudent
management prevails. These policies are formulated by investment staff and reviewed
by both the PMIB and the LIAB on an annual basis.
The State Treasurer's Office is audited by the Bureau of State Audits on an annual
basis and the resulting opinion is posted to the STO website following its publication.
The Bureau of State Audits also has a continuing audit process throughout the year. All
investments and LAIF claims are audited on a daily basis by the State Controller's
Office as well as an in-house audit process involving three separate divisions.
Under Federal Law, the State of California cannot declare bankruptcy, thereby allowing
the Government Code Section 16429.3 to stand. This Section states that "moneys
placed with the Treasurer for deposit in the LAW by cities, counties, special districts,
nonprofit corporations, or qualified quasi -governmental agencies shall not be subject to
either of the following: (a) transfer or loan pursuant to Sections 16310, 16312, or 16313,
or (b) impoundment or seizure by any state official or state agency."
During the 2002 legislative session, California Government Code Section 16429.4 was
added to the LAIF's enabling legislation. The Section states that "right of a city, county,
city and county, special district, nonprofit corporation, or qualified quasi -governmental
agency to withdraw its deposited moneys from the LAIF, upon demand, may not be
altered, impaired, or denied in any way, by any state official or state agency based upon
the state's failure to adopt a State Budget by July 1 of each new fiscal year."
The LAW has grown from 293 participants and $468 million in 1977 to 2,500 participants
and $21.2 billion at the end of April 2015.

before th o Planning { crnrn is si on and subsequently pre=lbed in the Resolution for
denial pertaining to Findings 3 through 5, as c uthied 'h DBbIG Section 22.58.040,
rernaw n- Because the appeal does not expressly challenge paacu Iar fi din s ca r,:Aude d
in the Feso 9u tion, it can be deduced that the A p pe I la nt's coraention of the Commission's

and initial s rip port of the request was "g reen -I ig htL:A" fused On meeting required
standards identiAed in the Code for new wireless facilities.
However, based on public tesiimo ny a.rrd evidence, containod in the re caard, the Planning
Com m i :s io n's decision to deny the request was based on aesthetic challenges the

Lear City Council Members,
I am a resident of Diamond Bar_ Please do not approve of T- MoNle's
application to build a cell tower at Maple Hill Park,
Maple Hill Dark is a beautiful park and a mono pine reV tower wood not
camouflage well with the existing trees that are there-
Also, standing at 65 fcaeta it would StIQk out like an eye sore and would tak-e
a,jva,y from the beauty of the park. The c-ell tower itself is actually only
about 80 feet from hornes and if it is standing too tall, there is no way of
covering it up.
This is a beautiful nlighhc'hood park in Diamond Bar and to have a rnone-
pins cell tower would not look aesthetically appealing.
The property values of the horne� nearby would also plumm-et as
horneboyerS wamld nvt warA to buy a horn- that is near a cell tower.
Also, famlIIes wouId start to feel uncomforts a about sending their children
t c a SC hoc I th at i s ac ross the street from a I I tower an d m aid n egat ivel y
impact school en rol.5ment as well as families moving in to the
ne1ghborhoad,
Penp�e would also rant out the park Iess as they may feel that there may be
e
,afiity issues and that may affect the city of D is m on d Bar getting rental
income from the parks_
Therefore, please oonsider thin wishes of the Diamond Bar constituents and
please do not approve of aI. cell tower at Maple H i I I Park._
Sincerely,
Janet Yap

Dear City Council Member,
am al resident of Diamond Bar and I sincerely ask that you woLAd

Park-
Maple Dill Park is only 4 acres as opposed to Borne of the other
parks such as Peterson Park which is 9 developed acres or Pantera Park
which is 15.5 developed acres_ Those parks have cell towers but because
Df t h e s ize of the park, th ooe towers d o n of i mpede u p'o n the u se of t he p a rk_
Maple Hill Park is an intimate and quaint nei hborheod park where
people Falk their dogs, kids play on the playground, friends and family play
terinis in the tenncs courts and farrAlies have parties.
If a mono -pine cell tourer were to be added to the park, then it wouN
be a tremendous Intrusion upon the use of the park -
Please help us protect our neighborhood and our ohil*en's park by
denying the per"it to T- Mobi15.
incerely,
Michelle Reyes-

TITLE: City Council Appointments
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Diamond Bar City Council is very active in a number of organizations and
committees which cover a variety of local and regional topics important to the city and
its residents. Committee appointments are assigned at the discretion of the Mayor.
Former Council Member Chang's November 2014 election to the Assembly resulted in a
vacancy on the City Council. As a result, Mayor Tye's December 2014 appointments
were based on there being four seated Council Members. Following the City Council's
January 2015 appointment of Jimmy Lin to the vacant seat, the Mayor may wish to
adjust the appointments to reflect the current body of the City Council.
