Agenda No. 6.2
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Lyons called the Regular City Council Meeting
to order at 6:34 p.m. in the South Coast Air Quality Management District/Government
Center Auditorium, 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California.
M/Lyons expressed Council's deepest sympathy for the friends and family of Cheng
"David" Long Wang and Mei (Marian) Chu Chung, victims of a double homicide that
took place on October 20. This horrific incident continues to be an open and active
Sheriffs Department investigation with motives and circumstances still unknown. It is
unsettling and distressing anytime someone's life is taken, particularly in this
community. Here crime is very low and homicide is not a normal occurrence for which
the City is thankful. Because of its rarity, incidents such as this will always make front
page news. However, there is comfort in knowing that the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau is
working relentlessly on this case and will not stop until the individuals responsible are in
custody. M/Lyons asked for a moment of silence in memory of the victims.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Boy Scout Troop 777 provided the Opening Flag
Ceremony and led the Pledge of Allegiance
INVOCATION: None provided.
ROLL CALL: Council Members Herrera, Low, Tye, Mayor Pro Tem

M/Lyons reported that during tonight's Closed Session the City Council discussed the
City Manager's Evaluation with no reportable action taken.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA: As Presented.
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 2 CITY COUNCIL
1. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS, CERTIFICATES, PROCLAMATIONS: None.
2. CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
2.1 Introduction of Dannette Allen, Management Analyst, City Manager's
Office and Ehren Magante, Network/Systems Administrator, IS
Department.
IS Director/Desforges, introduced Ehren Magante, Network/Systems
Administrator, information Systems Department,
Asst. to CM/Santos introduced Dannette Allen, Management Analyst, City
Manager's Office.
2.2 CM/DeStefano stated as Council is aware, the City has a great staff/team
that provides a variety of services to the community. One such
department is the Information Services Department. Over the past 10
years Diamond Bar has been honored 10 times with the Municipal
Information Systems Association of California award which is provided to
cities for the 10 -best practices in 10 different areas. IS Director/Desforges
has led his team for about 11 or 12 years. Just today CM/DeStefano
received notice that the City of Diamond Bar has again been awarded with
the MISAC Excellence in Information Technology Practices Award.
2.3 CM/DeStefano asked PWD/Liu to brief the Council on Measure M.
PWD/Liu stated that Measure M is a '/z cent sales tax ballot measure by
Metro which is titled the Los Angeles County Traffic Improvement Plan.
This measure asks county voters to raise the countywide sales tax by '/z
cent beginning July 2017. Metro officials say that the idea is to create and
sustain a funding stream for mobility projects crucial to the region's
mobility, economy and quality of life. Measure M would fund transit and
road projects as well as, a number of programs including transit
operations, freeway bottleneck improvements and freight movement
projects. The plan was crafted in response to feedback from the public
and elected officials, cities and stakeholders. Measure M has a detailed
expenditure plan which lays out how new funds generated by the sales tax
would be spent over the first four decades. This expenditure plan was
approved in June by the Metro Board. It is an important document for
voters showing the timing of projects and programs to be funded by the
plan. If Measure M passes, some of the notable projects and programs
for Diamond Bar voters are 1) SR 71 gap — the freeway widening project
from 4 lanes to 6 lanes along the 71 between 1-10 and SR60 ($249
million); the SR57/60 Interchange Improvements ($205 million). One of
the programs in Measure M is the "Local Return Program" — beginning in
2017 after the first full year Metro will return 17 percent of the funds
collected to cities on a per -capita basis. For 2017 this would equate to
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 3 CITY COUNCIL
about $805,100 annually. These funds can be used for Diamond Bar's local
street transportation improvement projects including street repair work, traffic
signals, bike lanes, etc.
3. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Pui Ching Ho, Diamond Bar Library spoke about upcoming library events. She
invited children ages 9 to 13 to join the library for a free hands-on autumn theme
drawing and painting workshop series on Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. These
workshops are sponsored by Supervisor Don Knabe. On Saturday, November 5
at 2:00 p.m. children and teens are invited to be detectives for the afternoon and
find out Whodunit in this interactive game. This program is presented by the
Diamond Bar Library Teen Advisory Board. Children ages 3 to 12 are invited to
the Block party on Wednesday, November 9 at 4:00 p.m. where there will be over
10,000 toy blocks for children to build items. On Tuesday, November 15 at 4:00
p.m. join the Robotics Demonstration to meet the Robo Masters (2015 club
champions and robot performance winners). Please check the library website at
http://colapublib.org/libs/diamondbar/index.php for additional programs and
events.
Nicholas Cavellos asked if Measure M would allow the City to have its own police
department. He asks because there has been a lot more breaking and entering
crime in the southern part of Diamond Bar and there is nothing being done about
it. There is more drone activity as well and he has to educate officers about FAA
regulations and if they are supposed to enforce these FAA regulations and laws.
He wanted to know what would be done about the drone problem and will the
police department be more educated about how to take this down so people
have privacy in their homes.
Shannon King, Boy Scouts of America, Greater Los Angeles Area Counsel,
registered adult leader with Cub Scout Pack 737 and Troop 777 and Diamond
Bar resident. Honda has teamed up with Boy Scouts of America asking the
organization to be boots on the ground to help get safety information out into the
communities. There is an active recall for Honda and Acura vehicles due to the
faulty Takata airbag inflator. There is a 50 percent chance in small rear end
accidents that the airbag inflator will not inflate the airbag, it will explode and
these explosions are causing shrapnel to be expelled into the cabin of the
vehicle. Passengers and drivers are being killed and injured in these accidents.
Any Honda or Acura owner is asked to go to www.hondaoutreach.com and look
up the VIN to see if there are any recalls affecting the vehicle. Repairs will be
made free of charge.
Christine Cavellos, 109 N. Pintado Drive, said she is concerned about protection
in the City. She has been a victim of a crime. Her civil rights were violated. She
has made several complaints to the Sheriff's Department and is waiting for a call
back. Further, LA County Fire Department refused service in response to her
chest pains in May 2015 and she is concerned that her voice is not being heard.
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 4 CITY COUNCIL
She has lived in Diamond Bar for more than 20 years and has paid taxes to have
these services. She has several written complaints from senior citizens who are
concerned about their safety in the northern part of Diamond Bar.
4. RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS:
CM/DeStefano responded to the speaker who referenced drone usage that the
air space is controlled by the FAA. It is not an arena over which local law
enforcement or the City of Diamond Bar have jurisdiction. With respect to
whether or not law enforcement could be supported financially through any
proceeds that come from Measure M, the answer is "no."
With respect to comments made about safety and crime, every city everywhere
has incidents of crime. Diamond Bar is a City, that with its outstanding Sheriff's
Department, has over many years, reflected an extremely low crime rate.
Diamond Bar presently has the lowest crime rate within the station and the
station is usually in the top four stations with the lowest crime rate for all of the
stations in the Los Angeles County jurisdiction. Every city is seeing an increase
in property -based crimes and in particular, in theft which is the direct result of a
variety of individuals that are now out from prisons and jails and out without
support and services they may need who may have personal issues that are
supplemented by the crimes they are committing. If these individuals are caught
and convicted they either do not go back to jail or do not receive support they
need and may be given only a citation. The City of Walnut which is in the same
service district as Diamond Bar has seen a much, much larger increase in crime.
This is cyclical and the Sheriff's Department is on it and deals with these issues
efficiently and respectfully with all residents in all areas of crime including
preventative measures.
Lt. Marquez explained that he oversees the detective bureau and is very familiar
with Mrs. Cavellos and her son with whom he has had contact on a, few
occasions. He is well aware of their concerns and their concerns have been
addressed, their complaints have been taken and they have been contacted
about the final disposition of those complaints. With respect to the complaint
about drones, a complaint form was written and has been investigated along with
other incidents brought to the department's attention. Every one of the
complaints, concerns, as well as her being a victim of a crime have been
documented and have been presented to the District Attorney's office with all
evidence forwarded to them. At this time, it his understanding that the District
Attorney's office has made a final decision about where they will proceed from
that point.

CM/DeStefano read the title and stated this is a public hearing regarding
proposed amendments to the Municipal Code to adopt new building
standards for the City.
BO/Tao explained that this Ordinance is a state -mandated requirement.
Every three years the City adopts the Building Code. In this case, many of
the items are formatting items restating old code amendments. The City
Council was provided a highlighted version of the Code indicating the
changes which are mostly formatting items. Every three years the City
adopts the Building Code with local amendments. This is being done
because of topographical, geographic or geologic conditions of which
Diamond Bar has a number; including fire conditions, underground water
table issues and expansive soils which are included within the ordinance.
The staff report indicates what they were previously in order to clarify the
reinstatement of those amendments.
NOVEMBER 1. 2016 PAGE 8 CITY COUNCIL
The Government Code requires that prior to adopting the Building Code
there must be two public hearings. Once the City Council has adopted the
Building Code Ordinance it will become effective January 2017. At this
time, staff recommends that Council open the Public Hearing, Receive
Testimony, discuss the matter and approve for first reading by title only,
waive full reading and set the second public hearing and adoption of the
Ordinance for November 15.
M/Lyons opened the Public Hearing at 7:16 p.m.
With no one present who wished to speak on this matter, M/Lyons closed
the Public Hearing at 7:17 p.m.
C/Low asked what the document was that was provided to the City
Council.
BO/Tao responded that it is the Building Code Amendments for Diamond
Bar which affects anything that has a local topographic, geologic or
climatic special items within the City. Basically, it is adopting the State
Code with any local amendments because of the special nature of items
within the City.
C/Low asked if the Council was adopting an Ordinance and wanted further
clarification.
BO/Tao said that part of this is to adopt the state code which is mandated
by state law and the other part is to amend the code for local
requirements.
C/Low asked if the document provided to Council was a sum of those
things or just the items that need to be amended that is different than what
is in the State's code that needs to be adopted.
BO/Tao said it is the sum of those things.
C/Low asked if the highlighted items in the document are the actual
changes.
BO/Tao said that they are the changes from the 2013 option.
C/Low said that 36 pages were provided in the staff report and this report
is 20 plus pages. On Page 2 under Administration of staff's report, the
CBC summary under Section 105.5 of the report talks about giving the
Building Inspector some additional authority and asked where that
Amendment could be found.
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 9 CITY COUNCIL
BO/Tao referred C/Low to Page 6 starting at the very top and continuing
on to Page 7, basically referring to timeframe for inspections to occur.
Currently, the California Building Code states that if any work is being
done, whether it be hammering one nail into a wood stud that is continuing
work while the City is trying to amend it to indicate that it has to be based
on a successful inspection where the Building Inspector will sign off. That
will prevent some cases where projects linger for a long period of time into
perpetuity without expiration.
C/Low said she understood the purpose of what staff intended which she
believes is a good thing. What she is trying to establish is what in the
language he is changing to effectuate the result he wants. On Page 6
there are four paragraphs but she cannot tell what is new and what is old
and what has been deleted or added unless he is saying that the entire
section is new. Secondly, in the staff report staff references a CBC
Section 105.5 which is a California Building Code and on the document he
has Section 105.5 of the California Administration Code (CAC) and she is
unable to track what is occurring.
BO/Tao said that at the very beginning is adopting the California
Administrative Code. This Chapter is considered the California
Administrative Code by the first part of the adoption under 15.00.110 on
Page 4 which says that California Administrative Code adopted. So with
adoption of Chapter One of the Building Code it calls it as the
Administrative Code for California.
C/Low said it is confusing for her because she cannot tell what has been
changed and what has not been changed and what is new and what is not
new.
BO/Tao responded that the language is very cumbersome and there are a
lot of items in the document. The Council adopted all of these
requirements except the highlighted items from 2013 so it is basically
restating those same amendments from before for clarity so that everyone
knows what the requirements are. The highlighted items are the only
items that have been modified.
C/Low said the only thing she sees highlighted are deletions except for
Page 20 regarding rough grading.
BO/Tao said C/Low was correct. Most of it is highlighted changes to the
Code Sections and some deletions so it is essentially restating what was
previously adopted because it is contained within that entire section.
C/Low asked if BO/Tao was saying that there is only one section in the
entire report that is new.
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 10 CITY COUNCIL
BO/Tao said there are not that many new sections and the items that are
changed are the Code Section references. Essentially, the adoption is
exactly the same as 2013, it is just that the numbering scheme was
changed. What the California Building Code does sometimes is change
the number sequencing so the City has to match the number sequencing
in its adoption.
C/Low asked if the appendix was a separate part of the Building Code or
factored into various parts of the code.
BO/Tao responded that it is part of the Building Code left in the appendix
for the Council to decide whether to adopt or not. Council is specifically
adopting it for grading requirements.
C/Low asked if Appendix J was new or not.
BO/Tao responded that it is not new to the Building Code and it is not new
to the adoption. Staff is merely restating it and making minor
modifications as well as, Code Section references.
C/Low asked for the item to be continued for further study.
BO/Tao clarified that there will be a second reading and second Public
Hearing which would provide a forum for addressing additional questions
that can be addressed between now and then. If at the Second Reading
the Council decides it is not appropriate the item can be tabled.
M/Lyons asked if the cutoff date for this item was the end of the calendar
year.
BO/Tao said there would need to be two readings and adoption prior to
the end of the year which means that it could be delayed to the November
15 Council meeting. If the second reading was held in December it would
not take effect for 30 days and there would be a time lapse during which
the local amendments would not be effective. Therefore, it would be more
appropriate to have the First Reading tonight and address any issues prior
to the November 15 meeting.
MPT/Lin referred to Page 14, Item 15, it shows that `Building Code
Official' was highlighted and crossed out in Section 106 and 112 of
Appendix which he found in Section 112 but could not find it in Section
106 on the document that was included in the agenda items.
BO/Tao explained that that item was deleted and what was requested was
to have the amendments from the last code adoption highlighted showing
what the deletions are so that line was deleted which is why MPT/Lin will
not find 106.
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL
MPT/Lin said he found Section 112
BO/Tao said that 112 is included but it is for another requirement. 106
and 112 were different requirements in past adoptions which are no longer
in the Building Code which is why they were stricken at this point.
C/Low asked for a complete listing of Appendix J in its entirety for Second
Reading.
BO/Tao said that he could provide a copy of the Building Code and a
photocopy of Appendix J so she can have it for the entirety.
C/Herrera moved, MPT/Lin seconded, to Approve for First Reading
Ordinance No. 10 (2016): Amending California Title 15 Of The Diamond
Bar City Code and Adopt By Reference, the 2016 California Building
Code, Volumes 1 And 2, including Appendices C, I And J Thereto;
Chapter 1 Division 22 of the 2016 California Building Code as the
Administrative Code; The 2016 California Mechanical Code, and the

REPORTS/COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS:
C/Herrera welcomed Dannette Allan and Ehren Magante to the Diamond Bar
family. She looks forward to working and getting to know them. She
congratulated the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments for an outstanding
General Assembly on October 26, particularly the caliber of speakers including
John Fasano, LA Metro Chair, Phillip Washington, CEO of Metro,
Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, Mayor Eric Garcetti, Hilda Solis, Supervisor,
Habib Balian, CEO Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, Mark Cristoffels,
Alameda Corridor -East Construction Authority, Javier Hernandez, Transportation
Deputy — Office of Supervisor Hilda Solis, Judy Chu, Congresswoman, Chris
Holden, Assembly Member and Senator Bob Huff. It was a great session and a
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 12 CITY COUNCIL
lot of information was dispersed and there was a lot of conversation about
Measure M and the importance of that to LA County and the City of Los Angeles.
Tonight residents have heard the significance of Measure M to Diamond Bar with
respect to local problems and issues, in particular the congestion on the SR57/60
which is the 7th worst congestion point in the nation and 1st worst intersection
congestion in the State of California which also has the highest incidents of air
pollution because vehicles move so slowly through the area.
C/Low congratulated IS Director Desforges and his team for their 10th
consecutive award "Excellence in Information Practices" and for their excellent
support to the Council. C/Low thanked PWD/Liu for solving a traffic congestion
issue that residents experienced on Grand Avenue during a.m. rush hour which
he resolved by adjusting the timing signal. She urged everyone who drives to
please drive courteously and carefully. She has noticed many drivers speed up
to catch the light to make a turn when the light changes and they are stuck in the
middle of the intersection. When traffic backs up into intersections, nobody wins.
C/Tye said that to quote President Gerald Ford, our long national nightmare is
almost over. Please remember to vote next Tuesday which is a privilege that
was hard earned by those who came before. Congratulations to Boy Scout
Troop 777 and thanks to them for being at tonight's meeting and posting the
colors and thanks to them for all that they do for the community. He felt it was
very important to thank the moms and dads as well for all that they do to promote
the scouting experience. He asked if the mailer that was addressed to Local
Postal Customer went to every home in Diamond Bar.
CM/DeStefano responded "yes."
C/Tye said it was an invitation and call to be involved in the town hall. Council
often hears people say they did not know how this or that meeting took place
because they did not know anything about it. This notice is about the General
Plan Community Workshop No. 1 that will be held on Wednesday, November 9 in
the Grand View Ballroom at the Diamond Bar Center. He hoped everyone would
get involved in the process because he did not think there was anything more
important than participating in the update of the City's General Plan.
MPT/Lin echoed C/Herrera's comment about Measure M. Measure M is a
perpetual sales tax and the transportation needs are perpetual. This tax will help
to improve the transportation condition in Los Angeles County and this is the best
chance the City of Diamond Bar will have to fix the SR57/60 nightmare. The cost
of the fix is $235 million and without this measure there would not be the funds to
provide the fix. Diamond Bar has been asking Congress every year for money
and very little has been forthcoming. He urged residents to vote for Measure M
which has been endorsed by all of the Diamond Bar Council Members. In lieu of
the unfortunate incident that occurred last week in south Diamond Bar, the
Diamond Bar Chinese-American Association asked him to arrange to pay
Captain Reyes and his troops a visit to express their appreciation for the hard
NOVEMBER 1, 2016 PAGE 13 CITY COUNCIL
work so on Sunday morning he visited the station to present an award to them
and express the Association's appreciation for all of their hard work.
M/Lyons said it was fun and a privilege to have the Scouts provide the flag
ceremony this evening. She believed this was the biggest group of scouts ever.
Last Saturday she was at the Eagle Court of Honor for Alex Kuhlman who was
recognized for the project he completed in Diamond Bar and that she had
presented him with a Certificate on behalf of the City Council. The Scouts are
welcome back anytime! She echoed C/Tye's comments about the General Plan
workshop. It is not like sitting in a meeting. It is a workshop where everyone can
participate and believes that people will find it to be very worthwhile. She
complimented the Public Works and Finance Departments because an outside
auditor just performed an audit of the spending and accounting for Prop A, Prop
C and Measure R Funds which are transportation funds and in spite of the
several day audit, there were no findings — nothing to improve upon.
M/Lyons said that tonight's meeting will be adjourned in memory of Phyllis Papen
who was Diamond Bar's first Mayor. The Council recently learned of her
passing. While Ms. Papen no longer lived in Diamond Bar, her contributions to
the community including her service to the City Council are profound and lasting.
For many Diamond Bar residents who lived in the City in the 1980's, the name
Phyllis Papen is synonymous with "incorporation" and rightfully so, because she
was not only a cityhood advocate but one of the leading incorporation proponents
since the idea was first proposed in 1981. Those familiar with Diamond Bar
history know that it took three attempts to incorporate the city. While the effort
failed in 1983 and again in 1986, Phyllis Papen pressed forward and on the third
attempt in 1989 a piece of unincorporated land within Los Angeles County was
turned into the official City of Diamond Bar that exists today. There were many
individuals who joined in the Cityhood cause and worked hard to bring self -
governance to Diamond Bar, but no one will argue that Ms. Papen's leadership,
unflappable and unstoppable determination and commitment played a critical
role. Diamond Bar residents and City Council Members are very appreciative of
Ms. Papen and the role she led in promoting the incorporation of Diamond Bar.
In 2014 when the City celebrated its 25th year of cityhood, City staff contacted
Ms. Papen and she graciously granted an interview during which she spoke
about her time in Diamond Bar and what the City's incorporation meant to her.
Thus, tonight's meeting will end with that video clip and adjournment.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to conduct, M/Lyons adjourned the
Regular City Council Meeting at 7:43 pm in memory of the City's first Mayor, Phyllis
Papen.

CITY COUNCIL
Agenda # 6 4
Meeting Date: November 15, 2016
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Member of4theCity Council
VIA: James DeStefano, City Ma a
TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT OF ONTRACT WITH PUBLIC FINANCE STRATEGIES, LLC,
DBA TBWB STRATEGIES
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The proposed amendment simply extends the term of the agreement in the amount previously approved
and appropriated by the City Council. Thus far, $49,591 of the original $180,000 contract amount has been
expended for a remaining contract balance of $130,409.
DISCUSSION:
On March 22, 2016, the City Council approved a contract with Public Finance Strategies, LLC, dba TBWB
Strategies (TBWB) to conduct polling and education work related to a potential 2016 parks and recreation
infrastructure bond ballot measure. To determine local interest in such a measure, TBWB developed and
conducted a scientific e-mail and telephone survey. This survey, which included a representative sample of
likely Diamond Bar voters, indicated that as proposed, a local parks and recreation bond measure would not be
successful on the 2016 ballot.
With the funding measure not viable for the 2016 ballot, other funding/ballot options must be developed for final
City Council consideration and approval. To provide adequate time to complete this process, the contract must
be amended to extend the term beyond its current expiration date of November 30, 2016. To provide that time
and to preserve the City Council's discretion to pursue a 2017 ballot measure, staff recommends the contract
be amended to extend the current term from November 30, 2016 to December 31, 2017.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed amendment.

FROM: James DeStefano, City Ma a
TITLE: Transmittal of Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended June 30,
2016
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2015-16 annual audit has been completed by the City's independent audit firm of Lance,
Soil and Lunghard, LLP. Part of the audit contract includes the completion, with staff's assistance,
of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
DISCUSSION:
The City's Finance Department, in concert with the City's independent audit firm of Lance, Soil and
Lunghard, LLP has prepared the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR). This report has been prepared in conformance with the requirements of GASB #34. As a
result the report format includes the Management Discussion and Analysis, Required
Supplementary Information and the Government -wide Financial Statements which include the
Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities.
As required by GASB #45, the CAFR also includes disclosure of the City's Other Post Employment
Benefits (OPEB) liability. In connection with the retirement benefits for employees provided
through California Public Employees Retirement System (CaIPERS), the City provides post-
retirement health care benefits to retirees through the CalPERS Health Benefits program.
Although the retiree pays most of the cost of this benefit, the City is required to pay a portion of this
cost. The City's OPEB obligation is derived from this benefit. The City engaged the services of the
firm Demsey, Filliger & Associates for an updated actuarial valuation of the City's retiree health
insurance program as of July 1, 2015. This valuation is required not less frequently than once
every two years. The City's net OPEB obligation at June 30, 2016 is $416,162. More information
may be found in Note 8 of the CAFR.
GASB #68 requires the inclusion of Net Pension Liability in the Statement of Net Position. As of
June 30, 2016 the City reported total net pension liability of $3,337,560. More information may be
found in Note 7 of the CAFR.
The 2015-16 CAFR includes the fund balance reserve reporting methodology set forth in GASB
#54. The City Council approved a Fund Balance Policy on June 7, 2011 which established an
amount of $4.5 million (three months of General Fund operational expenditures) as a formal
commitment of fund balance to be set aside as an emergency contingency for Federal, State or
Local emergencies. The total General Fund balance as of June 30, 2016 is $23.9 million.
The Finance Department has submitted the CAFR to the Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA) for review for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting
program. The City has been honored to receive this award for the past twenty-one consecutive
years.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Diamond Bar
Diamond Bar, California
It is a pleasure to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of
the City of Diamond Bar for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. This
report consists of management's representations concerning the finances
of the City. Consequently, responsibility for both the accuracy of the
presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests with the City's management. To provide a
reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City
has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed both to protect the City's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and
to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's
financial statements in conformance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not
outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide assurance that the financial
statements will be free from misstatement. As management, we assert
that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is
complete and reliable in all material aspects.
The City's financial statements have been audited by Lance, Sol[, &
Lunghard, LLP, a firm of certified public accountants. The goal of the
independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements of the City for fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, are free of
material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded based upon
the audit that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified
opinion that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2016, were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The
independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and
Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should
be read in conjunction with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the
report of the independent auditors.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
The City, incorporated in 1989, is located at the junction of the SR -57 and SR -60
freeways. As a result, the City of Diamond Bar is at the hub of the Los Angeles basin
transportation network. A twenty-five mile radius encompasses Pasadena, downtown
Los Angeles, Long Beach, Irvine and Riverside. Diamond Bar is a relatively young
residential community of about 57,000, situated among the meandering hills and valleys
of Brea Canyon. Many desired services can be found in Diamond Bar's shopping and
business centers. Recreational opportunities within the City include more than 75 acres
of developed park facilities, hiking trails, a community center, an 18 -hole public golf
course and 370 acres of undeveloped publicly owned open space.
The City has operated under the council-manager form of government since
incorporation. Policy making and legislative authority are vested in a five member City
Council. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances,
adopting the budget, appointing committees and task forces, and hiring both the City
Manager and contracting for City Attorney services. The City Manager is responsible for
overseeing the day -to day operations of the City, and for appointing the heads of the
various departments. The Council is elected on a non-partisan basis. Council members
serve four-year staggered terms, with elections held every other year. Each December,
the City Council selects a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from its membership.
The City of Diamond Bar is a contract city and as such contracts for many of its services.
This includes police services, building and safety services, engineering, road maintenance
and landscape maintenance.
The Los Angeles County Fire District provides fire protection, which is independent of
the City. The County also provides library services through a Library District as well as
sewer and sanitation services through a Sanitation District. Funds are collected through
property tax bills and are disbursed directly by the Los Angeles County Tax Collector's
Office.
Water services for the City are provided by the Walnut Valley Water District. Refuse
collection is provided by private waste collection companies. Additionally, schools are
provided by both the Walnut Valley Unified School District and the Pomona Unified
School District. Accordingly, none of these activities are included in this report.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Fiscal year 2015/16 saw sustained improvement in the national, state and local
economies. Unemployment rates have continued to come down and consumer spending
is on the rise. The housing market has also remained strong.
Fiscal year 2015/16 was a year of continued growth for the City of Diamond Bar. It was
another year of monitoring where revenues were headed, while holding costs to prior year
levels wherever possible. The General Fund reserves increased by $1.7 million during
FY 15/16 with the unassigned fund balance growing to $19.3 million and total General
Fund reserves coming in at $23.9 million. These reserve figures represent 94.2% and
116.4%, respectively, of total General Fund expenditures.
The City's sales tax base grew with an increase in revenue of 15.7% over last year. City
officials have been working diligently toward its economic development goal to diversify
its sales tax base. FY 15/16 saw the addition of new business' which have provided
additional and significant sales tax revenue to the City. New retail and restaurant options
are under construction or in the planning phase for openings in FY 16/17 and FY 17/18.
In addition, hotel occupancy rates were high, thereby increasing the transient occupancy
tax revenue.
The largest revenue source in the City, Property Tax revenue, was up 4.9%. Homeowners
took advantage of the strong housing market by selling their properties at again. Property
transfers during FY 15/16 numbered 844 vs. 746 during the previous fiscal year. The
average home price at June 30, 2016 was $740,000 while the median price was $575,000.
Home values in the City during FY 2015/16 outpaced the growth seen countywide.
Assessed valuations citywide increased by 6.4% which exceeded the countywide increase
of 5.5%.
As the City looks forward to FY 2016/17 there are many exciting projects on the horizon.
The revitalization of the K -Mart Center will bring nationally known retail and restaurant
partners to the City. A new housing development, South Point, will begin construction
during the next fiscal year and bring 99 upscale, single family homes to the City. Finally,
the City will embark on an all new General Plan for the first time in over 20 years. This
process will allow the current residents of the City provide input as to their vision of the
City for the next 20 years. It will be a very interactive, dynamic and exciting process that
will continue for the next couple of years.
The City's future economic health is being secured by building healthy reserves through
fiscally conservative budgets and policies in addition to aggressively pursuing economic
development opportunities.
AWARDS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City
of Diamond Bar for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2015. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award
recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local
financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an
easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report, with
contents that conform to program standards. The CAFR must satisfy both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of Diamond
Bar has received the Certificate of Achievement for the last twenty-one consecutive years
(fiscal years ended 1995 through 2015). We believe our current report continues to meet
the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES
This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report includes all Rinds of the City. The City
directly provides a limited range of services and contracts for several other services. The
City's significant reliance on contracted services has the benefit of reducing expenses to
the citizens of the City of Diamond Bar while simultaneously providing the City with a
high degree of flexibility in responding to changing economic conditions. Contracted
services include police protection, building and safety, street maintenance, park
maintenance, capital improvement projects, animal control, attorney services and
engineering. Staff provided services include: community development (which includes
planning, economic development, building and safety management, and neighborhood
improvement), public works (which includes engineering, capital projects administration,
street maintenance contract management, traffic and transportation matters, engineering
contract management, and solid waste contract management), community services
(which includes senior services, park maintenance, recreation services, community center
operation, and landscape maintenance), public information, subsidized transit ticket sales,
grant administration, financial management, and administrative management. All of
these activities are included in this report.
iv
INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City of Diamond Bar's accounting system has been developed by giving
consideration to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting
controls are implemented by the City to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and that the City's
financial records used for preparing financial statements are maintained in a reliable
fashion. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of these controls
should not exceed the benefits derived from them. The City's internal controls
accomplish these objectives.
We 14►MUM W IZ!! W3 IRYK
The preparation of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report was made possible by
the dedicated service and excellence found within the City's Finance Department staff,
and through the cooperation of the entire City staff. Each City staff member has my
sincere appreciation for their cooperation and contributions in the preparation of this
Report.
I would like to thank Dianna Honeywell, Finance Director, for her prudent fiscal
stewardship. In addition, I would also like to thank our independent auditor, Lance, Soil,
and Lunghard, L.L.P., who provided expertise and advice in the preparation of the City's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Council of the City of
Diamond Bar, the preparation of this Report would not have been possible.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Diamond Bar, California, (the City) as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to financial statements, which collectively comprise
the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City of Diamond Bar, California, as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes
in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the general fund and transportation
grant fund, the schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability and the schedule of plan
contributions be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a
part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to
the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing
the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because
the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any
assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual
nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules and statistical section are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements
and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
November 2, 2016 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over
financial reporting and compliance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Diamond Bar, we offer readers of the City of Diamond Bar's
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the
City of Diamond Bar for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we
have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
Financial Highlights
• The total revenues and other financing sources from all sources equaled
$33,022,952.
• The total cost of all City programs equaled $32,800,979.
• The assets of the City of Diamond Bar exceeded its liabilities at the close of the
fiscal year by $393,268,913 (netposition). Of this amount, $22,742,992 represents
unrestricted net position may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
® As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Diamond Bar's governmental
funds reported combined ending fund balances of $30,330,518, an increase of
$2,445,752 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately $18.4 million of the
$30.3 million is available for spending at the City's discretion.
® At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance for the general fund
was $19,350,943, or 94.2% of the amount of general fund expenditures. The
General Fund unrestricted balance of $19.4 million is in addition to a $4.5 million
reserve for emergencies as established by City Council resolution.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Diamond
Bar's basic financial statements. The City of Diamond Bar's basic financial statements
comprise three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial
statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government -wide financial statements — The government —wide financial statements
are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Diamond Bar's
finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business.
The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the City of
Diamond Bar's assets, liabilities and deferred inflows/outflows of resources with the
difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position
may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of
Diamond Bar is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City's net position
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as
soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some
items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and
earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of
Diamond Bar that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues
(governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities).
The governmental activities of the City of Diamond Bar include general government,
public safety, highways and streets, community development, and parks and recreation.
The City of Diamond Bar currently has no business -type activities or enterprise funds.
The government -wide financial statements include not only the City of Diamond Bar itself,
but also a legally separate financing authority. Although legally separate, the Diamond
Bar Financing Authority is included because the City is financially accountable for it.
Fund financial statements — A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to
maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or
objectives. The City of Diamond Bar, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal
requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds — Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the
same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial
statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental
fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
assessing the near-term financing requirements necessary to finance City programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide
financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental
funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -
wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term
impacts of the City's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance
sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental
funds and governmental activities.
The City of Diamond Bar adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A
budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate
compliance with this budget.
N
Proprietary Funds — The type of proprietary funds that the City maintains are internal
service funds that are used to allocate costs internally among the various functions of the
City. The City of Diamond Bar uses these funds to account for its liability insurance costs
and vehicle, building and computer replacement costs. Because these services
predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been
included within governmental activities within the government -wide financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds — Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit
of parties outside of the government. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the
government -wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not
available to support the City's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
much like that used for proprietary funds.
The City of Diamond Bar maintains one fiduciary fund which is the Other Post -
Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund. This fund is used to report resources held in
trust for retiree's post -employment health insurance premiums.
Notes to the Financial Statements — The notes provide additional information that is
essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund
financial statements.
Other Information — In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying
notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning
the City's budgetary control and accounting and expenditures in excess of appropriations.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position over time, may serve over time as a useful indicator of the
City's financial position. The City of Diamond Bar's assets exceeded liabilities by
$393,268,913 at the close of 2016. (see Table 1)
By far the largest portion of the City's net position (92.4%) is its investment in capital
assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery, equipment, and construction in
progress), less the related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City of
Diamond Bar uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently,
these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its
capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed
to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

The City's net position decreased by $1,893,827. This reasons for this overall decrease
is due primarily to depreciation expense and the correction of the valuation of construction
in progress from last fiscal year.
At the end of fiscal year 2016 the City reports an increase of nearly $2.1 million in the
unrestricted net position from the prior fiscal year. The City has continually expended its
resources conservatively in anticipation of economic downturns and future capital needs
which has resulted in being able to end the year with $22,742,992 in Unrestricted
Net Position.

In the Statement of Activities, the City's total revenues were $33.0 million, while the total
cost of all programs and services was $32.8 million. Revenues this fiscal year were
0.724% higher than those of the prior year. There were increases across the revenue
categories which resulted in the overall change in revenue. The following are highlights
of some of the major differences:
Property Tax revenues were up 4.9% from FY14-15. The housing market
continued to improve during FY 15-16 which afforded greater
inflation/Proposition 13 based adjustments. Housing sales also continued to
increase which allowed the County to increase overall assessed valuations by
5.5% during 2016 while Diamond Bar's assessed valuations were up by 6.4%
during 2016.
Transient Occupancy Taxes grew by 6.3% in FY 15-16 as the local economy
stabilized and business and vacation travel continued to increase.
• Sales tax revenues were up about 15.7% due to continued improvement in the
local economy, new businesses within the City, as well as a one-time final
payment of the triple flip portion of sales tax.
Investment Income increased by 45.3%, excluding the fair market value
adjustment of $229,072, due to improving investment yields available in the
bond market coupled with more of the City's portfolio being further diversified
into higher yielding investments such as highly rated corporate bonds and
California municipal bonds. The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) rate also
started to show some improvement and ended the fiscal year at 0.55%. By the
end of FY 15/16 the City's overall investment yield increased from 0.97% in
FY 2014/15 to 1.297% in FY 2016/17.
Expenses
Once again this year, the City has continued to be very diligent in controlling growth in
expenses. This year expenses for the City totaled $32.8 million which is approximately
$766,000, or 2.4% higher than the previous fiscal year. This increase was due increases
in expenses offset by decreases in various categories as follows:
• There was a decrease in General Government expenses of approximately 10.9%
this year. This was due primarily to lower capital outlay in this category this year
compared to last year.
• There was an increase in Public Safety expenses of approximately 4.8% this year.
• The Streets and Highways category increased this year by $1.7 million. This is
due to an increase in the number of Capital Improvement projects completed
during the fiscal year.
• Community Development expenses were lower in 2015/16 by $460,000. The
decrease reflects lower professional services required due to a majority of the
Willow Heights housing development being completed during FY 14/15.
Financial Analysis of the City's Funds
As noted earlier the City of Diamond Bar uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance -related legal requirements.
Governmental funds - The focus of the City of Diamond Bar's governmental funds is to
provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources.
Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a City's net resources
available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
10
At June 30, 2016, the City of Diamond Bar's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $30,330,518, an increase of $2,445,752 in comparison with the
prior year. Approximately 60.8% of this amount ($18,445,008) constitutes unassigned
fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The
remainder of the fund balance is either nonspendable, restricted or assigned to indicate
that it is 1) not in spendable form ($75,866), 2) restricted for particular purposes
($7,309,644) or 3) assigned for particular purposes ($4,500,000).
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal
year, the unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $19,350,943, while the total
fund balance was $23,926,809. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be
useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund
expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 94.2% of total general fund
expenditures, while total fund balance represents 116.4% of the same amount.
Since the City's incorporation in 1989, the City has been fiscally conservative contributing
to healthy fund balance reserves. Several years ago the City chose to fund major
maintenance projects from General Fund reserves when other funds were not available
for this purpose. This fiscal year General Fund balance increased $1,694,263.
Factors contributing to the change in General Fund balance reserves are as follows
• General Fund revenues were up $485,000 from FY14/15. The largest increase
was in the Taxes category ($2.2 million) which is primarily attributed to sales tax,
offset by lower license & permit revenue (down $1.8 million). This was due to the
wind down of the Willow Heights housing project during FY 15/16.
• Costs were higher this year in the General Fund by $1.1 million (5.7%) as
compared to last year. There were notable increases in the General Government,
Public Safety and Public Works category offset by lower costs in Community
Development.
• Conservative expenditure budgets over the years have contributed to the City's
general fund healthy fund balance reserve. This includes a contract city business
model which aids the City in containing costs.
Original revenue budget projections were increased during the year by 7.5% to reflect an
increase in sales tax, licenses & permits and intergovernmental revenues. The actual
revenue came in lower than anticipated by $289,000. This is due to higher than
anticipated sales tax offset by lowers offset by the fact that transfers into the General
Fund were lower than anticipated.
General Fund appropriations were increased during the year by $1,096,318 or 4.1 % from
the original budget to the amended budget. The final expenditures actually came in
$4,146,555 less than the amended budget due primarily to fewer projects being
completed therefore lower transfers out of the General Fund. These projects have been
carried over to the new fiscal year.

The City's capital assets decreased in value $5,962,750 during FY15/16. This decrease
was due to depreciation expense offset by higher construction in progress than in
previous years.
Construction in progress at the end of the year included eleven projects in various stages
of design or construction. The eleven projects equaling $4,347,254 include street
rehabilitation and enhancement projects, traffic mitigation projects, median modification,
city entry monuments, a clock, and various park projects.
Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in note 4.
Long-term debt — At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Diamond Bar's total
long-term debt equaled $10,800,547. The following table shows the breakdown of the

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
While the City maintains a diverse and upscale housing stock, the City's economy is
equally dependent on commercial and retail revenues. The City's concentration on
maintaining and attracting new business clientele is of utmost importance.
The City's 2016/2017 budget is a fiscally conservative budget. As the economy continues
to improve, anticipated revenues in the General Fund reflect moderate yet realistic
growth. The ongoing operations budget has been maintained at the status quo as much
as possible. This budget presents an operating plan that permits the City to live within a
reasonable estimate of revenues while continuing to provide community programs and
services to the residents of the City of Diamond Bar.
The City has made a conscientious decision to use some general fund balance reserves
for economic development purposes. As a result, the FY 16/17 budget includes an
appropriation for economic development. It is anticipated that these efforts will continue
to be rewarded in the near future with the development of several new retail spaces.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2016
Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies
a. Description of Reporting Entity
The City of Diamond Bar (the City) was incorporated April 18, 1989, as a "General Law"
City governed by an elected five -member city council. As required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements
present the City of Diamond Bar (the primary government) and its component units. The
component units discussed below are included in the City's reporting entity because of
the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City. These entities
are legally separate from each other. However, the City of Diamond Bar's elected officials
have a continuing full or partial accountability for fiscal matters of the other entities. The
financial reporting entity consists of: (1) the City (2) organizations for which the City is
financially accountable; and, (3) organizations for which the nature and significance of
their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial
statements to be misleading or incomplete.
An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its
budget, levy taxes or set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the
primary government. In a blended presentation, a component unit's balances and
transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances and transactions of the City.
Component units are presented on a blended basis when the component unit's governing
body is substantially the same as the City's or when the component unit provides
services almost entirely to the City.
Blended Component Units
The Diamond Bar Public Financing Authority (the Authority) was formed on
November 19, 2002. The purpose of the Authority is to issue debt to finance public
improvements and other capital purchases for the City and Agency. The activity of the
Authority is reported in debt service and capital projects funds. Separate financial
statements are not prepared for this blended component unit.
b. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the nonfiduciary
activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed
from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The City has no
business -type activities.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues
include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from
goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
31
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2016
Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the
fund financial statements.
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
• Government -wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to basic financial statements
The government -wide financial statements, proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial
statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all
assets and liabilities (current and long-term) are reported. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a
liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are
recognized as revenues in the fiscal year, which the taxes are levied. Revenue from
grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all the
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing
and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues of the City's internal service funds are charges to
departments for services. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the cost
of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues
and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the
current financial resources measurement focus, generally only current assets and
liabilities are reported in the governmental funds. Governmental fund operating
statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and
available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this
purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within
60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when
a liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term liabilities, claims and
judgments, and compensated absences which are recognized as expenditures only when
payment is due.
The City's fiduciary fund consists of a OPEB trust fund. OPEB trust funds are accounted
for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the
period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the
liability is incurred.
32
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2016
Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property taxes, taxpayer -assessed taxes, such as sales taxes, gas taxes, and transient
occupancy taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered
to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal
period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal
period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period to the
extent normally collected within the availability period. All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which
is considered a separate accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts,
established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives
in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
As a general rule, the effect of Interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government -wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges
between the government's proprietary funds functions and various other functions of the
government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program
revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating contributions and grants, and
3) capital contributions and grants, including special assessments. Internally dedicated
resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise,
general revenues include all taxes.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are
considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted
resources.
d. Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and is used to account for all
revenues and expenditures of the City not legally restricted as to use. A broad range of
municipal activities are provided through this fund including City Manager, City Attorney,
Finance, City Clerk, Public Works, Building and Safety, and Parks and Recreation.
The Transportation Grant Fund (MAP -21) has been classified as a major fund and is
used to account for projects related to the City's arterial rehabilitation activity. The
revenues in this fund have been allocated by the Federal Surface Transportation
Program, which was created by the federal government to fund various improvements to
the nation's streets and roads.
The Capital Improvement Fund has been classified as a major fund and is used to
account for City capital improvement projects. The revenues in this fund will generally
come from transfers in from other funds and have been identified for specific capital
projects.
The City's fund structure also includes the following fund types:
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the receipt of revenues and payments of
debt service related to outstanding bonds.
33
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2016
Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds have been established to finance and account for goods and
services provided by one City department to other City departments or agencies. These
activities include self-insurance, equipment, building maintenance and computer
maintenance.
OPEB Trust Fund has been established to account for the prefunding of the City's
obligation of postemployment benefits other than pensions (OPEB).
e. Investments
For financial reporting purposes, investments are stated at fair value.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income
reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair
value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by fiscal agents.
Each fund's share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as
cash and investments. Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated
to the various funds based on each fund's average cash and investment balances.
f. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as
short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts
of cash or so near their maturity (an original maturity date of three months or less from
the date of purchase) that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of
changes in interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents also represent the proprietary
funds' share in the cash and investment pool of the City. All cash and investments of the
proprietary (internal service) funds are pooled with the City's pooled cash and
investments and are therefore considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement
of cash flows.
g. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are
available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Contributed
capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value at the date of contribution.
Capital asset purchases (other than infrastructure) in excess of $5,000 are capitalized if
they have an expected useful life of three years or more.
Capital assets include additions to public domain (infrastructure), certain improvements
including roads, streets, sidewalks, medians and storm drains within the City.
34
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2016
Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using
the straight-line method in the Government -wide and Proprietary Fund Financial
Statements. Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated
depreciation is reported on the respective balance sheet. The lives used for depreciation
purposes of each capital asset class are:
Buildings and improvements
10 - 20 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 5 years
Vehicles
5 years
Infrastructure
10 - 50 years
Equipment
5 — 20 years
h. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a
future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/ expenditure) until then. The government only has one item that qualifies for
reporting in this category. It is deferred outflows relating to the net pension obligation
reported in the government -wide statement of net position. These outflows are the results
of contributions made after the measurement period, adjustments due to difference in
proportions, and the difference between actual contributions made and the proportionate
share of the risk pool's total contributions, and differences between expected and actual
experiences.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and thus will not be recognized as an inflow of resources
(revenue) until that time. The government has one item which arises under the modified
accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the
item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The
governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources: taxes and grant
revenues. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the
period that the amounts become available. In addition, the government has an item that
qualifies for reporting in this category which relate to deferred inflows relating to the net
pension obligation reported in the government -wide statement of net position. These
inflows are the result of the net difference between projected and actual earnings on
pension plan investments, changes in employer's proportion and difference between the
employer's contributions and the employer's proportionate share of contributions, and
adjustments due to difference in proportions. These amounts are deferred and amortized
straight-line over a five-year period or over the remaining service life.
I, Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted
(e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate
the amounts to report as restricted — net position and unrestricted — net position in the
government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be
made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the
government's policy to consider restricted — net position to have been depleted before
unrestricted — net position is applied.
35
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2016
Note 1: Reporting Entity and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
j. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted
and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund
balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned,
and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow
assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be
applied. It is the government's policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been
depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when
the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose,
committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned
fund balance is applied last.
k. Compensated Absences
Vacation and sick leave time begin to accumulate as of the first day of employment to a
maximum of 360 hours and 280 hours, respectively. Employees who accumulate sick
leave in excess of 200 hours are paid for the excess annually at one half the employees
current wage rate.
A liability is recorded for unused vacation and similar compensatory leave balances since
the employees' entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already
rendered and it is probable that virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either
paid time off or payments upon termination or retirement.
A liability is recorded for unused sick leave balances only to the extent that it's probable
that the unused balances will result in termination payments. This is estimated by
including in the liability the unused balances of employees currently entitled to receive
termination payments, as well as those who are expected to become eligible to receive
termination benefits as a result of continuing their employment with the City.
If an employee retires, resigns, or terminates in good standing with a minimum of
five years of service, the employee is entitled to receive 100% of unused sick leave at
one half the employees current wage rate. Compensated absences will be reported in
government funds only if they have matured, such as upon retirement.
I. Pension Plan
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net
position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been determined
on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS Financial Office. For this
purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized
when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports
that can be obtained at CalPERS' website under Forms and Publications.
m. Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to
1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes
go into a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas.
Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes which are received from the County within
60 days after year end.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
o. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance
classification:
® Nonspendable include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either
(a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact.
• Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by
either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other
governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation.
• Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant
to constraints imposed by formal action of the government's highest authority,
City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify,
or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution.
• Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government's intent to be
used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Director
of Finance is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was
established by the governing body in resolution.
• Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted,
committed, or assigned to specific purposes.

combination of those classifications. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent
when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted
fund balance is available and committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City
manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and
longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the
portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the
cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments
(including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided
by the following table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity:

Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by
(where applicable) the California Government Code, the City's investment policy, or debt

Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs
used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs."
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2016:
Investments measured at amortized cost
Cash with Fiscal Agents
Money Market Funds 29
Totals 29
Total Investments $ 33,587,993
Deposits and securities classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices
quoted in active markets for those securities. Local Agency Investment Funds classified in
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using specified fair market value factors.
Federal Agency Securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using
institutional bond quotes.
Disclosures Relating to Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to
recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty
(e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California
Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy
requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments,
other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that
a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging
securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law
(unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in
the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public
agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging
first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The
City does not accept 150% of the secured public totals. At June 30, 2016, the City deposits

Bonds Payable
In December 2002, the Diamond Bar Public Financing Authority issued $13,755,000 of
2002 Series A Variable Rate Lease Revenue Bonds to finance the construction of a
community/senior center project and other public improvements within the City. The bonds
are special limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from revenues, consisting
primarily of base rental payments paid by the City. The variable interest rate on the bonds are
reset on a bi-weekly basis.
In conjunction with the Bonds, the Authority executed a rate cap agreement on
December 2, 2002, (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase (Counterparty) to minimize debt
service cost on the 2002 Lease Revenue Bonds (the Bonds) by setting a cap on the interest
rate on the Bonds. Under the Agreement, the Counterparty will pay the Authority an amount
equal to the product of: (i) the amount by which the floating rate exceeds 4.5%, (ii) the
notional principal amount and (iii) the actual number of days in the calculation period divided
by 365 days. The Agreement is for a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal
amount of the Bonds and will decline as the principal amount declines. The Agreement
terminated on January 1, 2011
Credit Risk
The Counterparty, JPMorgan Chase, has the following credit ratings of: (i) Standard & Poor's,
AA- and (ii) Moody's, Aa2.
Refinancing of the 2002 Series A Lease Revenue Bonds (Community/Senior Center Project)
The 2002 Series A Lease Revenue Bonds were originally issued on December 19, 2002, in
the aggregate principal amount of $13,755,000. Since the date of their initial issuance, the
Bonds have borne interest at a Weekly Rate and the regularly scheduled payments of
principal of and interest on the Bonds have been payable from the proceeds of draws upon
an irrevocable direct -pay letter of credit issued by Union Bank, N.A., formerly known as
Union Bank of California, N.A. On December 1, 2011, these Bonds were refinanced and
$12,190,000 was defeased. Subsequently, $11,790,000 in Bonds were issued with the
interest rate converted from a Weekly Rate to a Fixed Rate. The fixed rates range from
3.00% to 5.00% throughout the life of the bond.

The City of Diamond Bar is a member of the CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE
AUTHORITY (Authority). The Authority is composed of 116 California public entities and is
organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et
seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of
self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group
purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began

a. Self -Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A
retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years
2012-13 and prior. Retrospective adjustments are scheduled to continue indefinitely on
coverage years 2012-13 and prior, until all claims incurred during those coverage years
are closed, on a pool -wide basis. This subsequent cost re -allocation among members,
based on actual claim development, can result in adjustments of either refunds or
additional deposits required. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to
routine annual retrospective adjustment.
The total funding requirement for self-insurance programs is estimated using actuarial
models and pre -funded through the annual contribution. Costs are allocated to individual
agencies based on exposure (payroll) and experience (claims) relative to other members
of the risk -sharing pool. Additional information regarding the cost allocation methodology
is provided below.
Liabilit
In the liability program claims are pooled separately between police and general
government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the
payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member,
which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the
formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $30,000 for each
occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the
first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $30,000 to
$750,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total
incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $750,000 to $50 million,
are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss
layers.

Note 6: Liability, Property and Workers' Compensation Protection (Continued)
For 2015-16 the Authority's pooled retention is $2 million per occurrence, with
reinsurance to $20 million, and excess insurance to $50 million. The Authority's
reinsurance contracts are subject to the following additional pooled retentions:
(a) $2.5 million annual aggregate deductible in the $3 million x/s $2 million layer, and
(b) $3 million annual aggregate deductible in the $5 million x/s $10 million layer. There is
a third annual aggregate deductible in the amount of $2.5 million in the $5 million x/s
$5 million layer, however it is fully covered under a separate policy and therefore not
retained by the Authority.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is
$50 million per occurrence. Costs of covered claims for subsidence losses have a
sub -limit of $30 million per occurrence.
Workers' Compensation
In the workers' compensation program claims are pooled separately between public
safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each
member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor
is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the
weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred
costs up to $50,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's
total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred
costs from $50,000 to $100,000 for each occurrence and is valuated as a percentage of
the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $100,000 to
statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and
second loss layers.
For 2015-16, the Authority's pooled retention is $2 million per occurrence, with
reinsurance to statutory limits under California Workers' Compensation Law,
Employer's Liability losses are pooled among members to $2 million. Coverage from
$2 million to $5 million is purchased as part of a reinsurance policy, and Employer's
Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.

Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) requires that
the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by
the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The
total rate plan contributions are determined through the CaIPERS' annual actuarial valuation
process. The actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay
the Plan's allocated share of the risk pool's costs of benefits earned by employees during the
year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference
between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2015 (the measurement date), the total pension
liability was determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2014 total pension liability. The
June 30, 2014 and the June 30, 2015, total pension liabilities were based on the following
actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions

Inflation

(1) The mortality table used was developed based on CaIPERS' specific data. The table
includes 20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For
more details on this table, please refer to the 2014 experience study report.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2014, valuation were based on the
results of an actuarial experience study for the period from 1997 to 2011, including updates to
salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. The Experience Study report can be obtained
at CaIPERS' website under Forms and Publications.
Change of Assumptions
GASB 68, paragraph 68 states that the long-term expected rate of return should be
determined net of pension plan investment expense but without reduction for pension plan
administrative expense. The discount rate was changed from 7.50 percent (net of
administrative expense in 2014) to 7.65 percent as of the June 30, 2015 measurement date
to correct the adjustment which previously reduced the discount rate for administrative
expense.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.65 percent. To determine
whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each
plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would
be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the
tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 7.65 percent discount rate is adequate
and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long term expected
discount rate of 7.65 percent is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund.
The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called "GASB Crossover Testing
Report" that can be obtained at CaIPERS' website under the GASB 68 section.

Note 7: Pension Rate Plans (Continued)
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best -estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class,
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CaIPERS took into account both
short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund
cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers
will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using
historical returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were
calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a
building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and
long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of
return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same
present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and
long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single
equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one
percent.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of
return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount
rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City's annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with
parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an
ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded
liabilities of the plan over a period not to exceed thirty years.
Funding Policy
The City sets its monthly contribution rates for health insurance on behalf of all eligible
retirees according to the PERS Health Program's statutory minimum ($122/month for
calendar 2015 and $125/month for calendar 2016, increased in all future years according to
the rate of medical inflation), The City pays a 0.32% of premium administrative charge on
behalf of all retirees. The City is currently funding this OPEB obligation on a pay-as-you-go
basis usually using available resources in the general fund. For the year ended
June 30, 2016, the City paid $7,410 in health care costs for its retirees and their covered
dependents.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan
(the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of
benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit
costs between the employer and the plan members at that point. The actuarial methods and
assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term
volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets consistent with the
long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2015, actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included a discount rate of 6.0% per annum, a rate of return on assets
of 6.0% per annum and a healthcare cost trend rate of 3.5% for medical and a healthcare
cost trend rate of 7.0% for Rx initially, reduced by annual decrements of 1.0% to an ultimate
rate of 5.0% after three years. The City's unfunded actuarial accrued liability will be amortized
as a level dollar over an open period of 30 years.

Net Assessed Value
Exempt values are not included in Total Net Taxable Values.
The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual
market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.
Prior to 2007, all SBE Nonunitary Railroad Properties were taxed at the tax rate area level. As of 2007, there was
legislation passed that requires Counties to track this value for the each county in a specific tax rate area and it's
distributed differently. Therefore from this year forward, Cities can no longer keep tracking how much value there
is on railroad properties within each City.

In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which sets the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1,00% is shared
by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners
are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds for
the Pomona Unified School District or Walnut Valley Unified School Districts in Diamond Bar depending on which school
district the property is located in.
Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping
rates apply to all city property owners.
RDA rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area(TRA) and includes only rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989
per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incredmental property values.
Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the government preparing the statistical
section information.

The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation. However,
this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal
year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The
computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation
the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local govern-
ment located within the state.

III Project.
BACKGROUNDMISCUSSION:
In June 2014, the Traffic Signal Operation & Maintenance Master Plan was completed
by staff to provide an evaluation and a comprehensive inventory of the City's traffic
signal system. The four (4) primary tasks associated with the Traffic Signal Operation &
Maintenance Master Plan included assessing the current conditions and maintenance
operations of the overall City's traffic signal system, identifying areas for improvements,
discussing planned improvements for the City's traffic signal system, and
recommending courses of action to address the deficiencies. A three (3) phase Traffic
Signal Infrastructure Upgrade Plan was recommended. As shown in the table below, an
approximate annual budget of $400,000 for the next three (3) fiscal years, beginning in
FY 2014-2015, was proposed.

For Phase I of the Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Project, a construction contract
was awarded to Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. at the February 16, 2016 City Council
Meeting. The project is currently scheduled for completion before the end of November
2016.
For Phase II of the Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Project, project plans and
specifications are currently being completed by Iteris, Inc. and are scheduled to be
advertised by the end of this month with tentative construction to start in January 2017.
In September of 2016, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Traffic Signal
Infrastructure Upgrades Phase III Project was released for design and construction
management/inspection services. Staff mailed the RFP's to Advantec Consulting
Engineers, Iteris, Inc., DKS Associates, Stantec, Fehr & Peers and Kimley Horn. Staff
received only one (1) proposal on October 5, 2016 from Iteris, Inc.
Thank you letters and emails were received from the five (5) consultants who did not
responded to the Phase III RFP. Their reasons were: current work load, current
2
assignments, prior commitments, and/or simply because one of the five (5) consultants
is currently working on a critical City project, such as the Adaptive Traffic Control
System that is currently under design.
The proposal from Iteris, Inc. was evaluated using the following criteria:
1. Understanding of project objectives and work
2. Experience and reputation of the firm
3. Experience and credentials of key personnel assigned to the project
4. Schedule, timeline, and reasonableness
5. Consultant's past record of performance in similar projects
6. The City's prior experience with the consultants
7. Familiarity with the geographical areas of the project and the City specific policies
and requirements.
Based on the evaluation criteria above and Iteris' past project experience for both
Phase I & Phase II Projects, Iteris is uniquely qualified to perform the services required
to achieve a successful enhancement of the City's system integration and
communication network.
The Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Phase III Project is the final phase of
improvements to the overall signal and communication network infrastructure. These
improvements include replacing 4.3 miles of existing copper cable with fiber optic cable
at the southwesterly part of the City to allow for higher data flow thus avoiding future
reduction in bandwidth speed as more communication units (i.e., video detection
cameras & closed circuit television cameras) are added to the system. Additionally, the
communication network will also be improved by rewiring two (2) intersections to
improve wiring connections at the intersections. Finally, upgrading traffic signal
components/units such as signal relays, video detection cameras, conflict monitors and
traffic signal controller firmware and software inside the traffic signal cabinet, will
improve reliability & functionality. See Map on Attachment "A", as well as the following
comprehensive Phase III upgrades:
I. Rewiring:
1. Pathfinder Road & Brea Canyon Road -Fern Hollow Drive
2. Brea Canyon Road & Silver Bullet Drive
Il. Interconnect Replacement:
Replace 4.3 miles of copper cable with new fiber optic cable along Lemon
Avenue between Golden Springs Drive and Lycoming Street; Brea Canyon
between Washington Street and Pathfinder Road; and, Pathfinder Road between
Brea Canyon Road and Peaceful Hills Road.

consulting services by virtue of its experience and the training, education and expertise
of its principals and employees.
Christian Malpica, Associate Engineer (herein referred to as the "City's Project
Manager"), shall be the person to whom the Consultant will report for the performance
of services hereunder. It is understood that Consultant shall coordinate its services
hereunder with the City's Project Manager to the extent required by the City's Project
Manager, and that all performances required hereunder by Consultant shall be
performed to the satisfaction of the City's Project Manager and the City Manager
2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall take effect November 15,
2016, and shall continue until January 15, 2017 unless earlier terminated pursuant to
the provisions herein.
3. Compensation. City agrees to compensate Consultant for each service
which Consultant performs to the satisfaction of City in compliance with the scope of
services set forth in Exhibit "B". Payment will be made only after submission of proper
invoices in the form specified by City. Total payment to Consultant pursuant to this
Agreement shall not exceed ninety one thousands nine hundred eighty five dollars ($
) without the prior written consent of the City. The above not to exceed amount shall
include all costs, including, but not limited to, all clerical, administrative, overhead,
telephone, travel and all related expenses.
4. Payment.
A. As scheduled services are completed, Consultant shall submit to City an
invoice for the services completed, authorized expenses and authorized extra work
actually performed or incurred.
B. All such invoices shall state the basis for the amount invoiced, including
services completed, the number of hours spent and any extra work performed.
C. Payment shall constitute payment in full for all services, authorized costs
and authorized extra work covered by that invoice.
5. Change Orders. No payment for extra services caused by a change in
the scope or complexity of work, or for any other reason, shall be made unless and until
such extra services and a price therefore have been previously authorized in writing and
approved by the City Manager or his designee as an amendment to this Agreement.
The amendment shall set forth the changes of work, extension of time, if any, and
adjustment of the fee to be paid by City to Consultant.
6. Priority of Documents. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and any attached exhibits, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control.
7. Status as Independent Contractor.
A. Consultant is, and shall at all times remain as to City, a wholly
independent contractor. Consultant shall have no power to incur any debt, obligation, or
liability on behalf of City or otherwise act on behalf of City as an agent. Neither City nor
any of its agents shall have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of
Consultant's employees, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not, at
any time, or in any manner, represent that it or any of its agents or employees are in
any manner agents or employees of City.
B. Consultant agrees to pay all required taxes on amounts paid to
Consultant under this Agreement, and to indemnify and hold City harmless from any
and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against City by reason of
the independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement. In the event that
City is audited by any Federal or State agency regarding the independent contractor
status of Consultant and the audit in any way fails to sustain the validity of a wholly
independent contractor relationship between City and Consultant, then Consultant
agrees to reimburse City for all costs, including accounting and attorney's fees, arising
out of such audit and any appeals relating thereto.
C. Consultant shall fully comply with Workers' Compensation laws
regarding Consultant and Consultant's employees. Consultant further agrees to
indemnify and hold City harmless from any failure of Consultant to comply with
applicable Worker's Compensation laws.
D. Consultant shall, at Consultant's sole cost and expense fully secure
and comply with all federal, state and local governmental permit or licensing
requirements, including but not limited to the City of Diamond Bar, South Coast Air
Quality Management District, and California Air Resources Board.
E. In addition to any other remedies it may have, City shall have the
right to offset against the amount of any fees due to Consultant under this Agreement
any amount due to City from Consultant as a result of Consultant's failure to promptly
pay to City any reimbursement or indemnification required by this Agreement or for any
amount or penalty levied against the City for Consultant's failure to comply with this
Section.
8. Standard of Performance. Consultant shall perform all work at the
standard of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession under
similar conditions and represents that it and any subcontractors it may engage, possess
any and all licenses which are required to perform the work contemplated by this
Agreement and shall maintain all appropriate licenses during the performance of the
work.
9. Indemnification. Consultant shall indemnify, defend with counsel
approved by City, and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers ("Indemnitees") from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees and all other costs
and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with:
(1) Any and all claims under Worker's Compensation acts and other employee
benefit acts with respect to Consultant's employees or Consultant's contractor's
employees arising out of Consultant's work under this Agreement; and
(2) Any and all claims arising out of Consultant's performance of work hereunder
or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement,
regardless of City's passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is
caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should City in its
sole discretion find Consultant's legal counsel unacceptable, then Consultant shall
reimburse the City its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys'
fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Consultant shall
promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the Indemnitees. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and
inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination
of this Agreement. Except for the Indemnitees, this Agreement shall not be construed
to extend to any third party indemnification rights of any kind.
(3) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify and
hold Indemnitees entirely harmless from all liability arising out of any claim, loss, injury
to or death of persons or damage to property caused by the negligent professional act
or omission in the performance of professional services pursuant to this Agreement.
10. Insurance.
A. Consultant shall at all times during the term of this Agreement carry,
maintain, and keep in full force and effect, with an insurance company authorized to do
business in the State of California and approved by the City the following insurance:
(1) a policy or policies of broad -form comprehensive general liability
insurance written on an occurrence basis with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00

Agreement.
B. The City, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be named
as additional insureds on the policies as to comprehensive general liability, property

Construction Inspection Services for Traffic Infrastructure Upgrades -Phase III to the City of Diamond Bar
Public Works Department (City).
Iteris is a leader in applied informatics for the transportation systems and is headquartered in Southern
California. The firm specializes in collecting and aggregating actionable data for contextually relevant
solutions in traffic engineering, Traffic Signal Systems (TSS), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and
Transportation Planning. The firm offers a Team of highly experienced engineers, planners, and data
analysts with extensive knowledge of traffic management and operations. Iteris combines its specialties to
design and implement innovative informatics solutions that help government agencies and municipalities
reduce traffic congestion, enhance system reliability, improve mobility, and advance the development of
thriving communities.
Iteris proposes Mr. Gabriel Murillo as Project Managerforthis project. He will be the principal contact with
the City and other entities per the City's direction. Mr. Murillo will oversee work from project inception to
completion, and will also be responsible for coordinating staff activities and meetings. Iteris will provide the
City with the following distinct advantages:
• Detailed, relevant experience working directly for the City of Diamond Bar. Iteris staff developed an
effective working relationship with the City staff which allows Iteris to develop consensus, complete
design, and deliver successful projects quicker. This relationship has been established through the
design and integration of Traffic Upgrades Phase I and Phase II projects as well as through the
integration of the City's existing traffic system and network.
• Depth of project management and technical staff with close proximity to the City. Iteris' staffing plan
has identified multiple staffing groups of experienced engineers available to deliverthis projectforthe
City of Diamond Bar efficiently and effectively. The multiple staffing groups with a combined 30 years
of relevant experience allows Iteris to work on multiple tasks simultaneously providing efficient and
effective project delivery.
• Proven track record of delivering projects for the City of Diamond Bar and throughout the Country.
Iteris' unique expertise in ITS design, inspection and integration as well as TMC support and
integration, traffic system integration expertise and traffic system operation and maintenance has
allowed us to deliver similar types of projects throughout the years for agencies like the City of
Diamond Bar. Thus, Iteris provides proven designs that meet client objectives. Over 1/3 of the signalized
intersections in the United States have been designed, equipped, and/or operated by Iteris staff.
Implement City's vision of robust ITS Communication. Iteris works with agencies to develop long term
visions of how the citywide system can be designed and built for the ultimate in reliability and
performance. Iteris worked with City of Diamond Bar Engineers to develop a plan for a robust
redundant fiber optic network with multiple rings. This project will serve to achieve the goal of

C PROJECT DESIGN
With extensive traffic engineering and transportation planning knowledge and experience the staff
possesses, Iteris can offer a wide variety of traffic and transportation consulting services to the City of
Diamond Bar. The following paragraphs describe our general approach to providing design services.
Project Understanding
Located on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, the City of Diamond Bar is within minutes of major
metropolitan business centers in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. The City is
accessible from the Pomona (SR -60) and Orange (SR -57) freeways and is home to approximately 56,000
residents. In order to better serve its community, the City is planning to upgrade their existing traffic signal
infrastructure including intersection rewiring, replacement of 4.3 miles of existing copper cable with new
fiber optic communication cable, 2070 controllers with D4 Software upgrades, video detection cameras,
conflict monitors, signal relays, pedestrian countdown signal indications and associated improvements along
several corridors in the City of Diamond Bar.
Currently, the City of Diamond Bar's traffic signal system is composed of 170 traffic signal controllers running
LACO-4E firmware. The traffic signal controllers are managed through TransSuite®, the City's Advanced
Traffic Management System (ATMS). Communications between the traffic signal controllers and the ATMS is
achieved through the City's extensive traffic communications network. The communications network
infrastructure is composed of fiber optic and twisted pair (TWP) copper cable. RuggedCom Ethernet switches,
were deployed to communicate over the communications infrastructure. The integration of Ethernet
technology allows the City to communicate with its traffic signal controllers as well as other Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) such as Battery Back-up systems (BBS), Video Image Detection Cameras (VIDs),
and Closed Caption Television Cameras (CCTVs). Every device added to the network decreases the available
bandwidth. This is more so the case when dealing with high bandwidth consumption activities such as
streaming video from CCN and VID cameras. Each video stream can account for 2 to 6 Mbps depending on
the compression software and quality of the device. The City's robust fiber optic network can easily handle
high bandwidth demand as it is composed of 100 Mbps and Gigabit switches. Theoretically, it would take 20
cameras set to a bandwidth of 5 Mbps to entirely consume the available bandwidth on the 100 Mbps
switches. It is never recommended to function at the upper bandwidth limits of a network as stability would
be negatively affected. The Ethernet over copper Very high bit digital subscriber line (VDSL) technology, on
the other hand, cannot achieve the bandwidth capacity offered by its fiber counterpart.
VDSL technology allows for Ethernet communication over TWP copper interconnect. At short distances,
bandwidths of 30 to 50 Mbps can be obtained. As the distance increase and/or the integrity of the TWP
copper cable declines, the obtainable bandwidths begin to decrease. At the integration of the City's Ethernet
over copper network, the City's main goal was to communicate with its traffic signal controllers to manage
their timing and increase traffic flow with a couple of CCN cameras on major corridors to visually assess
traffic conditions. The RuggedCom VDSL switches deployed adequately provided sufficient bandwidth,
between 6 and 40 Mbps, to support all the equipment deployed at the time. As ITS technology has advanced,
so have the number of Ethernet ready ITS devices that can communicate over the City's communications
network. This has allowed the City to deploy and communicate with a multitude of ITS devices such as BBSs,
VIDs, and CCTVs that have allowed the City to better serve the community's traffic and safety needs. The BBS

units allow for signals to remain on during power outages while the video streams provided by the VID and
CCTV cameras allow the timing engineers to visually assess traffic flow in real time. Because of the required
bandwidth of the devices, The City has been limited to the amount of devices that can be deployed at
locations with TWP copper interconnect. To address this limitation, and in preparation for their future
adaptive system, the city has deployed a three phase project to replace the existing TWP copper with fiber
optic. Phases, which has already been integrated, upgraded the southeastern quadrant of the City. Phase II,
which is in the design phase, will upgrade the segment of the City north of Grand Avenue. Under Phase III,
the City is proposing the replacement of 4.3 miles of TWP copper interconnect with single mode fiber optic
along the following corridors in order to complete the TWP copper interconnect upgrades:
• Pathfinder Road between Peaceful Hills and Brea Canyon Road
• Brea Canyon Road between Pathfinder Road and Golden Springs Drive
• Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street and Washington Avenue
• Golden Springs Drive between Brea Canyon Road and Calbourne Drive
• Lemon Avenue between Golden Springs Drive and Lycoming Street
In order tofurther improve the City's Traffic signal system, the City is also planning make the following upgrades
throughout the City:
• Rewire three (3) Intersections:

The successful completion of the project will meet the City's objective to improve traffic signal
timing/coordination and monitoring. Iteris is committed to not only successfully completing the project but to
accomplish it in a manner that will prepare the City for future ITS improvements. Figure 2 below illustrates the
Traffic Signal Upgrades proposed by the City.
Scope of Work
The detailed Scope of Work (SOW) provided has been developed based on Iteris' experience working on
similar ITS and traffic system projects and our working history with City for the past 6 years. Its focus will be
to detail Iteris' methods and procedures for the successful completion of the City's Traffic Signal
Infrastructure Upgrades project. What is unique to Iteris is our team's extensive experience supporting the
City of Diamond Bar as well as many local agencies. Iteris staff have a long history of addressing
I transportation issues throughout southern California and have been involved with the design, deployment
and maintenance support of communication networks, signal detection, CCTVs, CMSs, signal systems,

controllers, and signal timing. In fact, Iteris is the only local firm with the experience and expertise to provide
services that range from ITS planning, design, construction support and integration to ITS operations and
maintenance, all with in-house staff. It is this hands-on, in the field experience that has guided us in
developing this SOW outline. Through the combination of our experience and proven track record, Iteris will
provide accurate design plans, cost estimate, existing conditions assessment, construction inspection support
and recommendations that reflect the City's commitment to implement beneficial transportation
management solutions.
DESIGN METHODS AND PROCEDURES
The following Scope of Work was developed based on Iteris' understanding of the Design project
components and experience on similar projects. The final Scope of Work will be determined during the City's
evaluation process to ensure that the City's goals can and will be achieved. Iteris proposes various tasks that will
be performed during the project development process. Iteris has organized the work scope into the tasks noted:
A. Project Design
• Task 0: Project Management
• Task 1: Design PS&E and Bid Support
B. Construction Administration/Inspection (SEE SECTION D)
• Task 2: Construction Administration/Inspection Services
C. Conversion / Configuration Services
• Task 3: Conversion and Configuration Services
This section of the proposal presents the Iteris project team's design methods and procedures to successfully
completing the ITS Design Services for Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades on schedule and budget.
TASK o. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Deliverables
• Project Kick-off Meeting Minutes
• Monthly Invoices
Iteris strongly believes that excellent project management is essential for the successful completion of any
project. Successful completion does not only mean finishing the project, but also completing the project to
the client's satisfaction within budget and on schedule that also results in an efficient construction project
void of change orders. As part of Iteris' project management strategy, Mr. Gabriel Murillo will serve as the
Project Manager (PM) forthis project. Mr. Murillo has served as the PM for similar projects completed for
the Cities of Corona, Fountain Valley, Long Beach and Westminster, as well as several othersimilar projects.
Mostly recently, Mr. Murillo served as the Project Manager to redesign the City of Fountain
Valley's traffic signal communications network into a ring topology. Mr. Murillo's team's integration of a ring
network for the City provided a redundant network which highly reduces the possibility of communication
loss to multiple intersections should one fail. He will be the principal contact with the City of Diamond Bar per
the City's direction. As part of the Project Management task, Mr. Murillo will be available to City staff should
specific questions arise throughout the duration of the project.

Iteris strongly believes that a thorough and accurate assessment of the existing conditions is essential in
providing improvement recommendations and design plans that will be instrumental in the successful
deployment of the City's Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades project. A thorough assessment should
provide a full understanding of the existing system and establish a foundation for any potential future traffic
system upgrades. The key personnel that Iteris has assigned to each component are extremely qualified and
experienced in performing these services and will be pleased to support the City.
1 Subtask 1.1. Field Review
The framework for a viable and efficient design begins with a solid field investigation effort. Prior to
commencement of plan preparation, a field investigation will be conducted along the proposed project
corridors, intersections and the City's TMC. The field investigation will include a thorough reconnaissance of
the project corridors to familiarize the design team with the characteristics unique to each location. There
are two task required In performing a thorough review; 1) Reviewing design and as -built documents and 2)
Conducting a field review to verify the existing conditions.
The first task is to review all design and as -built documents provided by the City. This is essential before
complete assessments of the fiber upgrade corridors, traffic signal controller cabinet inventory,
communication facilities and other traffic signal support systems within the City's Traffic Signal Infrastructure
Upgrades RFP project scope is conducted.
Once Iteris has reviewed the design and as -built documents provided by the City, the field review task will be
conducted. Iteris has extensive experience in conducting this type of assessment and has developed a
thorough checklist that is used on projects of this nature. The checklist is employed by all staff conducting
assessments to ensure that the same information is collected by all Iteris personnel. The checklist is to be
presented to the City for review during the kickoff meeting. This provides the City with an opportunity to
review this checklist in advance of any field work performed to ensure a mutual understanding of the data
that will be collected to ensure all the information necessary for detailed project plans meet the City's
current and future needs. Figure 3 illustrates an example of the level of detail Iteris provides in an
equipment inventory:
Figure 3 — Example of Equipment Inventory Detail
The field review will not only note the existing conditions of the specific project study area but will also serve
to begin identifying existing deficiencies in the City's existing conduit infrastructure. The review team will

immediately notify the project PMs of any potential issues observed. The sooner issues are notified, the
sooner solutions can be identified. All required field data collection, observations and field surveys will be
conducted, at a minimum, by two engineers with extensive experience relating to traffic signal control and
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) networks. This approach will not only assure the completeness and
accuracy of field conditions, but will also ensure that all the operational aspects of the traffic signal system
and the ITS devices are taken into consideration. The engineers will also have the expertise to determine all
communication and ITS needs for this project as well as the City's future deployments.
A photo log of each location and fiber installation segment will be taken which will include photos at all
project signalized intersections within the proposed fiber optic corridor. This information will be extremely
useful during the design process and will significantly reduce and in some cases eliminate unnecessary
revisits to the site, This information will be provided to the City as part of the Inventory of Existing Equipment
inside Traffic Signal Controllers along the proposed fiber optic corridors.
Per the RFP, the City will provide the following information to support the preparation of the detailed design:
1. Existing street, traffic signal and utility plans in the City's possession
2. Reproduction of final construction plans and specifications for advertising
► Subtask 1.2. PS&E t00% and Final
Upon the completion of the field review, Iteris will begin to prepare
the design plans for the project. The expedited nature of this project
demands PS&E submittals at 100% and Final stages. The sooner the
project team can deliver the design plans at 1009/6, the sooner the City
can review and provide comments on a complete PS&E package to
ensure that the Final PS&E deliverable meets the City's standards.
Iteris has the qualified staff and resources at hand to deliver accurate
and well prepared design plans within the City's proposed time
frame of one month. This task will focus on the preparation of 100%
and Final PS&E deliverables.

ITERIS DIFFERENTIATORS
Iteris Staff have been heavily involved in supporting the City of Diamond Bar with its traffic engineering and
ITS needs dating back to the initial Communication Network and ATMS deployment. Having offices in nearby
Santa Ana, staff that is knowledgeable of the City's traffic system infrastructure and staff that resides in the
City of Diamond'Bar, Iteris provides the experience and local knowledge that is requiredto successfully serve
the City. The following recommendations are based on our knowledge of the City and will greatly benefit the
City should they need to be deployed.
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
In the last eight to ten years, every ITS network designed by Iteris has been a gigabit (GB) backbone
provisioned network. As Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology has continued to evolve in the last 10 to 15 years,
it has become even more cost effective and the technology of choice for nearly all advanced ITS
communication backbones.
There are several reasons a City, when deploying fiber based Ethernet hardware, should strongly consider
going gigabit. Gigabit switches not only provide increased performance and bandwidth (when compared to
100 MB/s networks), they also have the latest generation of network management features which provide
network administrators more flexibility when managing network traffic. Additionally, it provides a path to
expand a network beyond the wire (fiber) and support higher speed wireless networks with 802.11n
capacities at over 300 Mbps wireless speeds. In fact, Iteris has designed and integrated wireless microwave
Ethernet networks with 1AGB/s of bandwidth. Another significant advantage in designing a Gigabit backbone,
preferably in ring topology, is the direct path to upgrade in the future to additional capacity by only replacing
equipment in the field.
Today 10, 40, and even 100 Gigabit networks aver fiber are a reality and with a Gigabit network that is
designed properly and integrated optimally, these super high speed networks can easily be implemented with
no modification needed to upper -layer network designs. This means that ring networks utilizing rapid
spanning tree protocol (RSTP) and open shortest path first (OSPF) between switches and routers can continue
to operate through future upgrade processes without any physical configuration changes.
Iteris firmly believes that ITS networks should be actively
managed through network management software. Iteris
understands what it takes to not only design and
integrate enterprise level networks, but also to keep
them running. Because "you can't manage what you
can't see", Iteris developed a network management
system dedicated for ITS networks to assist agencies with
ITS operations and maintenance. This software is called
NetScene which provides an agency with a centralized
location to manage and monitor the performance of an
ITS network. The image on the right is from a NetScene

software deployment in the City of Westminster showing the status of all the devices deployed citywide.
There is a smaller window in the figure which shows the contents of a cabinet with icons representing the
device and a background color displaying the status of the device. The system alerts select personnel of any
failures in the City through an email message as well as alerts on the NetScene application. Not only is Iteris
an expert in the design and integration of ITS, Iteris has the expertise to keep them operational to maximize
the effectiveness of traffic operations. We know what it takes to design and construct robust systems and
keep them working.
Under Phase I and Phase II, Iteris completed a review of the City's existing ITS communication cabling and
through the design process set the foundation for a Gigabit redundant ring network. Through the use of
these Gigabit rings, the City's communication "hubs" will be utilized as distribution points where the Gigabit
network could be distributed to each intersections as 100 MB Fast Ethernet segments. This type of design
maximizes the use of existing fiber optic cable and provides significant bandwidth capability for every traffic
signal intersection to add several ITS elements like HD quality CCTV cameras, back-up battery system (BBS),
Bluetooth system, etc. With the integration of Phase I and Phase II, The City is two thirds of the way in
completing the implementation of a redundant ring network. Iteris' design has set the foundation for a
redundant network. In Phase III, Iteris will help the City achieve that vision.
Figure 4 displays the existing and preliminary design for the robust Gigabit network in the City of Diamond
Bar. The yellow lines show the existing fiber runs, the green lines show the proposed Phase III fiber upgrades,
and the blue and green lines illustrate the recommended ring topology that the City should incorporate into
their design for redundant communication. Note that upon implementing this topology, it will be necessary
to make some fiber modifications at the original fiber locations as well as the installation of two high speed
radios to create a link on Pathfinder between Fallowfield and Brea Canyon Cut -Off. The original fiber
modifications are required as the City's original network was designed in a daisy chain topology. Such an
approach makes each location dependent on the previous for communication and should one fail, so would
all the locations upstream from that point. By re -splicing the original fiber, the City can complete the
proposed rings and obtain the desired redundant network. Iteris staff have firsthand knowledge of the City's
original fiber having provide QA/QC during its design and implementation as well having integrated the City's
existing network. In fact, our staff have been supporting the network since its inception. The radios are needed
to close the gap at Pathfinder and establish the link required to establish a ring. The radios are depicted as red
triangles in the figure below. If funds are an issue, then Iteris will modify the plans to create a folded ring. A
folded ring will still provide a redundant approach but will use the same fiber cable to loop back, and
unfortunately communications would be lost if the cable were ever damaged.

intersections in order to create more robust gigabit trunks between the field elements and central. The
design for Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Phase I set the groundwork to achieve a ring topology. Phase
II built upon that infrastructure to provide redundancy for the intersections north of Grand Avenue. With
Iteris' proposed approach for Phase III, the foundation will be completed and the redundant network will be
a citywide accomplishment. Under Phase I, gigabit hub switches were deployed at Diamond Bar Boulevard
and Pathfinder Road as well as in Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue. These two hub locations
support all the intersections along Diamond Bar Boulevard in the southeast segment. Under Phase 11, Iteris
proposed adding a hub switch at Golden Springs and Diamond Bar to communicate with all the locations
north of Grand Avenue. For Phase III, Iteris proposes adding hub switches at Golden Springs and Grand
Avenue and at Golden Springs and Brea Canyon. In doing so, all the hub switches will have the ability to be
linked together. Once linked together, multiple communication paths for every device will be possible.
The proposed network will not only provide the City with robust communications, but also the ability to deal
with fiber incidents with very little likelihood of losing communication to the intersections. Being able to
maintain communication will provide additional time for the City to identify and resolve the problem
properly, maintain communication with all ITS devices during incident and most importantly, maintain

communications with the controllers while the incident is resolved. What makes this critical is that for an
adaptive system to work well, it needs to be able to communicate with the controllers. Iteris' design will
provide that level of network stability.
TASK 3. CONVERSION/ CONFIGURATION SERVICES
Note that Task 2 is described in Detail Under Section D of this document
The City of Diamond Bar has requested the addition of Switch configuration and controller timing conversion/
configuration servicers. Iteris staff is fully capable providing such services forthe City. As previously mentioned,
Mr. Gomez configured the majority, if not all, of the switches that are currently deployed in the City including
all the Gigabit switches. Underthe direction of their direct manager, Mr. Gabriel Murillo, Mr. Erlan Gomez and
Mr. Michael Plotnik have configured and integrated over 70 fiber and Ethernet -over -copper switches in the
last eight months alone including the reconfiguration of a couple of the City's switches during the BBS
integration. Their understanding of communication networks, ITS devices and troubleshooting measures make
them the ideal team for all ITS integration tasks. For the switch configuration, Iteris suggest that the selected
devices be sent to our systems engineers so that they can properly configure the devices before installation.
After the devices are installed, Iteris staff will be present under the construction inspection task to verify the
proper functionality of the switches.
In terms of controller timing conversions and configuration, the MUTCD has made changes that affect some of
the timing parameters such as the minimum yellows and flashing pedestrian "Don't Walk". The controller
upgrade locations are scattered throughout the City and therefore making the revisions necessary to meet the
new specifications would directly affect the synchronization of the corridors. Because of this, Iteris
recommends that the timing be directly converted over As Is to eliminate the need to re-evaluate the entire
system. Iteris can assist the City in performing the timing conversions as Iteris staff has conducted multiple
deployments of 2070 controllers with D4 software. Mr. Murillo performed the timing conversion and
integration of the 2070 controller with D4 software running the intersection of Golden Springs and High Knob.
This was the first integration of D4 software in Diamond Bar which led to the City selecting the software for all
their future 2070 controller upgrades. In terms of configuration, in order to communicate with the City's
TransSuite system, the controllers must be configured to properly communicate with the central system. Mr.
Gomez was directly involved in the integration and relocation of the City's TransSuite system and integrated
all of the City's existing 170 controllers with LACO-4E onto the system. Iteris proposes this task to be divided
into two subtasks. The first subtask will focus on obtaining the timing plans from the existing 170 controllers
to convert them into the D4 format. Iteris will then work with the contractor to load the converted timing plans
into the new controllers before deployment. The second subtask will focus on integrating the controllers onto
the TransSuite system. This will require some configuration modifications at the TransSuite system level and
controller configuration to communicate with TransSuite. Mr. Gomez will assist the City in making a request to
TransCore in order to make these modifications under the City's maintenance agreement with TransCore. All
of the tasks involved to meet and exceed the requirements set in this RFP have already been performed by
Iteris' staff for the City of Diamond Bar. The team is more than happy to continue providing the same services
that we have been providing since the inception of the City's first fiber traffic network. With Iteris' staff's
knowledge of the City's network and team of systems engineers dedicated to ITS integration, Iteris is certain
that the City will have the right team to support the City's goals.
I Iteris' hours and cost to provide support for these optional task are included in the Design Services Fee proposal.

D CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION & INSPECTION
Iteris has supported many clients with full design/ build projects throughout the years. The Iteris Team of
Transportation Engineers, Systems Engineers, System integrators and Software Engineers are fully capable of
executing all tasks relevanttothe design, construction and integration of a successful ITS project. Iteris' hands-
on experience provides Iteris with the knowledge of "why" and "how' things must operate to be considered
safe and fully operational. In order to optimize Iteris' support during Construction services, the team has
identified the tasks which will require on-site support. They are the following:
• Meetings: Iteris will be available to attend the pre -construction meeting as well as three additional meetings
throughout the course of the construction activities. The Project Manager and Project Engineer will also be
available via phone and e-mail to answer all questions pertaining to the project.
• Fiber Optic Inspection: Iteris staff will be present at the completion of the fiber splicing to verify each link
between the hubs and the intersections. The links will be verified by shinning a laser between the hub and
the traffic signal intersections. This approach will confirm that a link exist between the two points and
whether or not the fiber strands were terminated onto the appropriate ports at each location. Payment to
the contractor shall not be made until all fiber links are verified per the design plans. Properfiber splicing is
critical in the proper functionality of the system and its future upgrades.
• Rewire Inspection: Iteris staff will be present after each location is rewired to verify that all signal phases,
including pedestrian phases, are working as intended. The team will observe each intersection and confirm
that all vehicle heads are terminated according to the phase diagram. Contractor shall not be paid until this
has been carried out.
• Traffic Signal Upgrade Inspection: Iteris staff will be present immediately afterthe completion of traffic signal
upgrades to verify that all components were properly installed and configured to provide full functionality to
the City.
• Construction Support., This tasks includes Addressing complaints, reviewing and approving contractor's
submittals, RFIs. Review certified payrolls and invoices, Review Change Orders, Prepare daily and weekly
reports, including project progress and photo documentation by stages, prepare punch list and final job walk
through and submit the final as -built and final report to the City.

E PROJECT SCHEDULING
Per the City's request, all design plans must be ready for bid by within 30 days. This would give the team
approximately 4 weeks to complete the design plans and submit Final PS&E plans. This aggressive schedule
demands PS&E submittals at 100% and Final to present the City with a full PS&E deliverable to comment on.
This will give the City a better sense of the overall package and allow them to provide a full set of comments
for the Final Submittal preparation. Having the staff at hand to take on a project with such a short timeline,
Iteris is committed to beginning the field reviews immediately after the kickoff meeting. Field reviews are
critical forthe design and will be of high priority. Within a week and a half from the field review, Iteris will have
the 100% PS&E Submittal ready for the City to Review. The City will have a week to review and provide
comments back to Iteris. During this time, Iteris will be in direct contact with the City to answer questions and
commence revisions as reviews are finalized. At the end of the week, Iteris will schedule a meeting with the
City to discuss all comments so that the teams are in agreement. Iteris will then finalize the plans and submit
to the City for bid. Keep in mind that this timeline requires a team effort between the City of Diamond and
Iteris. An open line of communication will be critical at every step to ensure that the City's vision is followed.
Eliminating issues before they begin will be key. Our Project manager and internal QA/QC is committed to
serving the City on this project and its timeline.
Assuming that the project's kick-off meeting is held the first week in June, then the construction bidding will
most likely take place in the month of July and a construction contract is expected to be executed by August.
Iteris will provide the City with Bid support throughout the bidding process to ensure that the process is smooth
and enjoyable for the City. Once the Bid process is completed, Iteris staff will be on standby to attend the
preconstruction meeting and begin construction administration and support services.
Iteris has provided the following proposed project schedule, as shown in Table 4

For Phase I of the Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Project, a construction contract
was awarded to Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. at the February 16, 2016 City Council
Meeting. The project is currently scheduled for completion before the end of November
2016.
For Phase II of the Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Project, project plans and
specifications are currently being completed by Iteris, Inc. and are scheduled to be
advertised by the end of this month with tentative construction to start in January 2017.
In September of 2016, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Traffic Signal
Infrastructure Upgrades Phase III Project was released for design and construction
management/inspection services. Staff mailed the RFP's to Advantec Consulting
Engineers, Iteris, Inc., DKS Associates, Stantec, Fehr & Peers and Kimley Horn. Staff
received only one (1) proposal on October 5, 2016 from Iteris, Inc.
Thank you letters and emails were received from the five (5) consultants who did not
responded to the Phase III RFP. Their reasons were: current work load, current
2
assignments, prior commitments, and/or simply because one of the five (5) consultants
is currently working on a critical City project, such as the Adaptive Traffic Control
System that is currently under design.
The proposal from Iteris, Inc. was evaluated using the following criteria:
1. Understanding of project objectives and work
2. Experience and reputation of the firm
3. Experience and credentials of key personnel assigned to the project
4. Schedule, timeline, and reasonableness
5. Consultant's past record of performance in similar projects
6. The City's prior experience with the consultants
7. Familiarity with the geographical areas of the project and the City specific policies
and requirements.
Based on the evaluation criteria above and Iteris' past project experience for both
Phase I & Phase II Projects, Iteris is uniquely qualified to perform the services required
to achieve a successful enhancement of the City's system integration and
communication network.
The Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Phase III Project is the final phase of
improvements to the overall signal and communication network infrastructure. These
improvements include replacing 4.3 miles of existing copper cable with fiber optic cable
at the southwesterly part of the City to allow for higher data flow thus avoiding future
reduction in bandwidth speed as more communication units (i.e., video detection
cameras & closed circuit television cameras) are added to the system. Additionally, the
communication network will also be improved by rewiring two (2) intersections to
improve wiring connections at the intersections. Finally, upgrading traffic signal
components/units such as signal relays, video detection cameras, conflict monitors and
traffic signal controller firmware and software inside the traffic signal cabinet, will
improve reliability & functionality. See Map on Attachment "A", as well as the following
comprehensive Phase III upgrades:
I. Rewiring:
1. Pathfinder Road & Brea Canyon Road -Fern Hollow Drive
2. Brea Canyon Road & Silver Bullet Drive
Il. Interconnect Replacement:

aforementioned Best's rating.
E. Consultant shall submit to City (1) insurance certificates indicating
compliance with the minimum insurance requirements above, and (2) insurance policy
endorsements or a copy of the insurance policy evidencing the additional insured
requirements in this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the City.
F. Self -Insured Retention/Deductibles. All policies required by this
Agreement shall allow City, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention
("SIR") and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the Consultant (as the named insured)
should Consultant fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the
SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City. Consultant understands
and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by Consultant as primary insured to pay its SIR
or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should City pay the SIR
or deductible on Consultant's due to such failure 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 Consultant for breach of this Agreement in
addition to any other damages incurred by City due to the breach.
G. Subrogation. With respect to any Workers' Compensation Insurance or
Employer's Liability Insurance, the insurer shall waive all rights of subrogation and
contribution it may have against the Indemnitees.
H. Failure to Maintain Insurance. If Contractor fails to keep the insurance
required under this Agreement in full force and effect, City may take out the necessary
insurance and any premiums paid, plus 10% administrative overhead, shall be paid by
Consultant, which amounts may be deducted from any payments due Consultant.
I. Consultant shall include all subcontractors, if any, as insureds under its
policies or shall furnish separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor
to the City for review and approval. All insurance for subcontractors shall be subject to
all of the requirements stated herein.

to confidential data of City, private individuals, or employees of the City. Consultant
covenants that all data, documents, discussion, or other information developed or
received by Consultant or provided for performance of this Agreement are deemed
confidential and shall not be disclosed by Consultant 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. Consultant's covenant
under this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent Consultant prepares reports of a proprietary nature specifically
for and in connection with certain projects, the City shall not, except with Consultant's
prior written consent, use the same for other unrelated projects.
12. Ownership of Materials. Except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, all materials provided by Consultant 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. Consultant may, however, make and retain such copies of said
documents and materials as Consultant may desire.
13. Maintenance and Inspection of Records. In accordance with generally

C PROJECT DESIGN
With extensive traffic engineering and transportation planning knowledge and experience the staff
possesses, Iteris can offer a wide variety of traffic and transportation consulting services to the City of
Diamond Bar. The following paragraphs describe our general approach to providing design services.
Project Understanding
Located on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, the City of Diamond Bar is within minutes of major
metropolitan business centers in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. The City is
accessible from the Pomona (SR -60) and Orange (SR -57) freeways and is home to approximately 56,000
residents. In order to better serve its community, the City is planning to upgrade their existing traffic signal
infrastructure including intersection rewiring, replacement of 4.3 miles of existing copper cable with new
fiber optic communication cable, 2070 controllers with D4 Software upgrades, video detection cameras,
conflict monitors, signal relays, pedestrian countdown signal indications and associated improvements along
several corridors in the City of Diamond Bar.
Currently, the City of Diamond Bar's traffic signal system is composed of 170 traffic signal controllers running
LACO-4E firmware. The traffic signal controllers are managed through TransSuite®, the City's Advanced
Traffic Management System (ATMS). Communications between the traffic signal controllers and the ATMS is
achieved through the City's extensive traffic communications network. The communications network
infrastructure is composed of fiber optic and twisted pair (TWP) copper cable. RuggedCom Ethernet switches,
were deployed to communicate over the communications infrastructure. The integration of Ethernet
technology allows the City to communicate with its traffic signal controllers as well as other Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) such as Battery Back-up systems (BBS), Video Image Detection Cameras (VIDs),
and Closed Caption Television Cameras (CCTVs). Every device added to the network decreases the available
bandwidth. This is more so the case when dealing with high bandwidth consumption activities such as
streaming video from CCN and VID cameras. Each video stream can account for 2 to 6 Mbps depending on
the compression software and quality of the device. The City's robust fiber optic network can easily handle
high bandwidth demand as it is composed of 100 Mbps and Gigabit switches. Theoretically, it would take 20
cameras set to a bandwidth of 5 Mbps to entirely consume the available bandwidth on the 100 Mbps
switches. It is never recommended to function at the upper bandwidth limits of a network as stability would
be negatively affected. The Ethernet over copper Very high bit digital subscriber line (VDSL) technology, on
the other hand, cannot achieve the bandwidth capacity offered by its fiber counterpart.
VDSL technology allows for Ethernet communication over TWP copper interconnect. At short distances,
bandwidths of 30 to 50 Mbps can be obtained. As the distance increase and/or the integrity of the TWP
copper cable declines, the obtainable bandwidths begin to decrease. At the integration of the City's Ethernet
over copper network, the City's main goal was to communicate with its traffic signal controllers to manage
their timing and increase traffic flow with a couple of CCN cameras on major corridors to visually assess
traffic conditions. The RuggedCom VDSL switches deployed adequately provided sufficient bandwidth,
between 6 and 40 Mbps, to support all the equipment deployed at the time. As ITS technology has advanced,
so have the number of Ethernet ready ITS devices that can communicate over the City's communications
network. This has allowed the City to deploy and communicate with a multitude of ITS devices such as BBSs,
VIDs, and CCTVs that have allowed the City to better serve the community's traffic and safety needs. The BBS

units allow for signals to remain on during power outages while the video streams provided by the VID and
CCTV cameras allow the timing engineers to visually assess traffic flow in real time. Because of the required
bandwidth of the devices, The City has been limited to the amount of devices that can be deployed at
locations with TWP copper interconnect. To address this limitation, and in preparation for their future
adaptive system, the city has deployed a three phase project to replace the existing TWP copper with fiber
optic. Phases, which has already been integrated, upgraded the southeastern quadrant of the City. Phase II,
which is in the design phase, will upgrade the segment of the City north of Grand Avenue. Under Phase III,
the City is proposing the replacement of 4.3 miles of TWP copper interconnect with single mode fiber optic
along the following corridors in order to complete the TWP copper interconnect upgrades:
• Pathfinder Road between Peaceful Hills and Brea Canyon Road
• Brea Canyon Road between Pathfinder Road and Golden Springs Drive
• Brea Canyon Road between Lycoming Street and Washington Avenue
• Golden Springs Drive between Brea Canyon Road and Calbourne Drive
• Lemon Avenue between Golden Springs Drive and Lycoming Street

controllers, and signal timing. In fact, Iteris is the only local firm with the experience and expertise to provide
services that range from ITS planning, design, construction support and integration to ITS operations and
maintenance, all with in-house staff. It is this hands-on, in the field experience that has guided us in
developing this SOW outline. Through the combination of our experience and proven track record, Iteris will
provide accurate design plans, cost estimate, existing conditions assessment, construction inspection support
and recommendations that reflect the City's commitment to implement beneficial transportation
management solutions.
DESIGN METHODS AND PROCEDURES
The following Scope of Work was developed based on Iteris' understanding of the Design project
components and experience on similar projects. The final Scope of Work will be determined during the City's
evaluation process to ensure that the City's goals can and will be achieved. Iteris proposes various tasks that will
be performed during the project development process. Iteris has organized the work scope into the tasks noted:
A. Project Design
• Task 0: Project Management
• Task 1: Design PS&E and Bid Support
B. Construction Administration/Inspection (SEE SECTION D)
• Task 2: Construction Administration/Inspection Services
C. Conversion / Configuration Services
• Task 3: Conversion and Configuration Services
This section of the proposal presents the Iteris project team's design methods and procedures to successfully
completing the ITS Design Services for Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades on schedule and budget.
TASK o. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Deliverables
• Project Kick-off Meeting Minutes
• Monthly Invoices
Iteris strongly believes that excellent project management is essential for the successful completion of any
project. Successful completion does not only mean finishing the project, but also completing the project to
the client's satisfaction within budget and on schedule that also results in an efficient construction project
void of change orders. As part of Iteris' project management strategy, Mr. Gabriel Murillo will serve as the
Project Manager (PM) forthis project. Mr. Murillo has served as the PM for similar projects completed for
the Cities of Corona, Fountain Valley, Long Beach and Westminster, as well as several othersimilar projects.
Mostly recently, Mr. Murillo served as the Project Manager to redesign the City of Fountain
Valley's traffic signal communications network into a ring topology. Mr. Murillo's team's integration of a ring
network for the City provided a redundant network which highly reduces the possibility of communication
loss to multiple intersections should one fail. He will be the principal contact with the City of Diamond Bar per
the City's direction. As part of the Project Management task, Mr. Murillo will be available to City staff should
specific questions arise throughout the duration of the project.

Iteris strongly believes that a thorough and accurate assessment of the existing conditions is essential in
providing improvement recommendations and design plans that will be instrumental in the successful
deployment of the City's Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades project. A thorough assessment should
provide a full understanding of the existing system and establish a foundation for any potential future traffic
system upgrades. The key personnel that Iteris has assigned to each component are extremely qualified and
experienced in performing these services and will be pleased to support the City.
1 Subtask 1.1. Field Review
The framework for a viable and efficient design begins with a solid field investigation effort. Prior to
commencement of plan preparation, a field investigation will be conducted along the proposed project
corridors, intersections and the City's TMC. The field investigation will include a thorough reconnaissance of
the project corridors to familiarize the design team with the characteristics unique to each location. There
are two task required In performing a thorough review; 1) Reviewing design and as -built documents and 2)
Conducting a field review to verify the existing conditions.
The first task is to review all design and as -built documents provided by the City. This is essential before
complete assessments of the fiber upgrade corridors, traffic signal controller cabinet inventory,
communication facilities and other traffic signal support systems within the City's Traffic Signal Infrastructure
Upgrades RFP project scope is conducted.
Once Iteris has reviewed the design and as -built documents provided by the City, the field review task will be
conducted. Iteris has extensive experience in conducting this type of assessment and has developed a
thorough checklist that is used on projects of this nature. The checklist is employed by all staff conducting
assessments to ensure that the same information is collected by all Iteris personnel. The checklist is to be
presented to the City for review during the kickoff meeting. This provides the City with an opportunity to
review this checklist in advance of any field work performed to ensure a mutual understanding of the data
that will be collected to ensure all the information necessary for detailed project plans meet the City's
current and future needs. Figure 3 illustrates an example of the level of detail Iteris provides in an
equipment inventory:
Figure 3 — Example of Equipment Inventory Detail
The field review will not only note the existing conditions of the specific project study area but will also serve
to begin identifying existing deficiencies in the City's existing conduit infrastructure. The review team will

immediately notify the project PMs of any potential issues observed. The sooner issues are notified, the
sooner solutions can be identified. All required field data collection, observations and field surveys will be
conducted, at a minimum, by two engineers with extensive experience relating to traffic signal control and
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) networks. This approach will not only assure the completeness and
accuracy of field conditions, but will also ensure that all the operational aspects of the traffic signal system
and the ITS devices are taken into consideration. The engineers will also have the expertise to determine all
communication and ITS needs for this project as well as the City's future deployments.
A photo log of each location and fiber installation segment will be taken which will include photos at all
project signalized intersections within the proposed fiber optic corridor. This information will be extremely
useful during the design process and will significantly reduce and in some cases eliminate unnecessary
revisits to the site, This information will be provided to the City as part of the Inventory of Existing Equipment
inside Traffic Signal Controllers along the proposed fiber optic corridors.
Per the RFP, the City will provide the following information to support the preparation of the detailed design:
1. Existing street, traffic signal and utility plans in the City's possession
2. Reproduction of final construction plans and specifications for advertising
► Subtask 1.2. PS&E t00% and Final
Upon the completion of the field review, Iteris will begin to prepare
the design plans for the project. The expedited nature of this project
demands PS&E submittals at 100% and Final stages. The sooner the
project team can deliver the design plans at 1009/6, the sooner the City
can review and provide comments on a complete PS&E package to
ensure that the Final PS&E deliverable meets the City's standards.
Iteris has the qualified staff and resources at hand to deliver accurate
and well prepared design plans within the City's proposed time

ITERIS DIFFERENTIATORS
Iteris Staff have been heavily involved in supporting the City of Diamond Bar with its traffic engineering and
ITS needs dating back to the initial Communication Network and ATMS deployment. Having offices in nearby
Santa Ana, staff that is knowledgeable of the City's traffic system infrastructure and staff that resides in the
City of Diamond'Bar, Iteris provides the experience and local knowledge that is requiredto successfully serve
the City. The following recommendations are based on our knowledge of the City and will greatly benefit the
City should they need to be deployed.
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
In the last eight to ten years, every ITS network designed by Iteris has been a gigabit (GB) backbone
provisioned network. As Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology has continued to evolve in the last 10 to 15 years,
it has become even more cost effective and the technology of choice for nearly all advanced ITS
communication backbones.
There are several reasons a City, when deploying fiber based Ethernet hardware, should strongly consider
going gigabit. Gigabit switches not only provide increased performance and bandwidth (when compared to
100 MB/s networks), they also have the latest generation of network management features which provide
network administrators more flexibility when managing network traffic. Additionally, it provides a path to
expand a network beyond the wire (fiber) and support higher speed wireless networks with 802.11n
capacities at over 300 Mbps wireless speeds. In fact, Iteris has designed and integrated wireless microwave
Ethernet networks with 1AGB/s of bandwidth. Another significant advantage in designing a Gigabit backbone,
preferably in ring topology, is the direct path to upgrade in the future to additional capacity by only replacing
equipment in the field.
Today 10, 40, and even 100 Gigabit networks aver fiber are a reality and with a Gigabit network that is
designed properly and integrated optimally, these super high speed networks can easily be implemented with
no modification needed to upper -layer network designs. This means that ring networks utilizing rapid
spanning tree protocol (RSTP) and open shortest path first (OSPF) between switches and routers can continue
to operate through future upgrade processes without any physical configuration changes.
Iteris firmly believes that ITS networks should be actively
managed through network management software. Iteris
understands what it takes to not only design and
integrate enterprise level networks, but also to keep
them running. Because "you can't manage what you
can't see", Iteris developed a network management
system dedicated for ITS networks to assist agencies with
ITS operations and maintenance. This software is called
NetScene which provides an agency with a centralized
location to manage and monitor the performance of an
ITS network. The image on the right is from a NetScene

software deployment in the City of Westminster showing the status of all the devices deployed citywide.
There is a smaller window in the figure which shows the contents of a cabinet with icons representing the
device and a background color displaying the status of the device. The system alerts select personnel of any
failures in the City through an email message as well as alerts on the NetScene application. Not only is Iteris
an expert in the design and integration of ITS, Iteris has the expertise to keep them operational to maximize
the effectiveness of traffic operations. We know what it takes to design and construct robust systems and
keep them working.
Under Phase I and Phase II, Iteris completed a review of the City's existing ITS communication cabling and
through the design process set the foundation for a Gigabit redundant ring network. Through the use of
these Gigabit rings, the City's communication "hubs" will be utilized as distribution points where the Gigabit
network could be distributed to each intersections as 100 MB Fast Ethernet segments. This type of design
maximizes the use of existing fiber optic cable and provides significant bandwidth capability for every traffic
signal intersection to add several ITS elements like HD quality CCTV cameras, back-up battery system (BBS),
Bluetooth system, etc. With the integration of Phase I and Phase II, The City is two thirds of the way in
completing the implementation of a redundant ring network. Iteris' design has set the foundation for a
redundant network. In Phase III, Iteris will help the City achieve that vision.
Figure 4 displays the existing and preliminary design for the robust Gigabit network in the City of Diamond
Bar. The yellow lines show the existing fiber runs, the green lines show the proposed Phase III fiber upgrades,
and the blue and green lines illustrate the recommended ring topology that the City should incorporate into
their design for redundant communication. Note that upon implementing this topology, it will be necessary
to make some fiber modifications at the original fiber locations as well as the installation of two high speed
radios to create a link on Pathfinder between Fallowfield and Brea Canyon Cut -Off. The original fiber
modifications are required as the City's original network was designed in a daisy chain topology. Such an
approach makes each location dependent on the previous for communication and should one fail, so would
all the locations upstream from that point. By re -splicing the original fiber, the City can complete the
proposed rings and obtain the desired redundant network. Iteris staff have firsthand knowledge of the City's
original fiber having provide QA/QC during its design and implementation as well having integrated the City's
existing network. In fact, our staff have been supporting the network since its inception. The radios are needed
to close the gap at Pathfinder and establish the link required to establish a ring. The radios are depicted as red
triangles in the figure below. If funds are an issue, then Iteris will modify the plans to create a folded ring. A
folded ring will still provide a redundant approach but will use the same fiber cable to loop back, and
unfortunately communications would be lost if the cable were ever damaged.

ITERIS' RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR

Figure 4 — Preliminary High Level Network Design
Iteris' approach to the design of the fiber upgrades will be to completely eliminate all daisy chained
intersections in order to create more robust gigabit trunks between the field elements and central. The
design for Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades Phase I set the groundwork to achieve a ring topology. Phase
II built upon that infrastructure to provide redundancy for the intersections north of Grand Avenue. With
Iteris' proposed approach for Phase III, the foundation will be completed and the redundant network will be
a citywide accomplishment. Under Phase I, gigabit hub switches were deployed at Diamond Bar Boulevard
and Pathfinder Road as well as in Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue. These two hub locations
support all the intersections along Diamond Bar Boulevard in the southeast segment. Under Phase 11, Iteris
proposed adding a hub switch at Golden Springs and Diamond Bar to communicate with all the locations
north of Grand Avenue. For Phase III, Iteris proposes adding hub switches at Golden Springs and Grand
Avenue and at Golden Springs and Brea Canyon. In doing so, all the hub switches will have the ability to be
linked together. Once linked together, multiple communication paths for every device will be possible.
The proposed network will not only provide the City with robust communications, but also the ability to deal
with fiber incidents with very little likelihood of losing communication to the intersections. Being able to
maintain communication will provide additional time for the City to identify and resolve the problem
properly, maintain communication with all ITS devices during incident and most importantly, maintain

I ' " ITERIS' RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR

Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades — Phase III
communications with the controllers while the incident is resolved. What makes this critical is that for an
adaptive system to work well, it needs to be able to communicate with the controllers. Iteris' design will
provide that level of network stability.
TASK 3. CONVERSION/ CONFIGURATION SERVICES
Note that Task 2 is described in Detail Under Section D of this document
The City of Diamond Bar has requested the addition of Switch configuration and controller timing conversion/
configuration servicers. Iteris staff is fully capable providing such services forthe City. As previously mentioned,
Mr. Gomez configured the majority, if not all, of the switches that are currently deployed in the City including
all the Gigabit switches. Underthe direction of their direct manager, Mr. Gabriel Murillo, Mr. Erlan Gomez and
Mr. Michael Plotnik have configured and integrated over 70 fiber and Ethernet -over -copper switches in the
last eight months alone including the reconfiguration of a couple of the City's switches during the BBS
integration. Their understanding of communication networks, ITS devices and troubleshooting measures make
them the ideal team for all ITS integration tasks. For the switch configuration, Iteris suggest that the selected
devices be sent to our systems engineers so that they can properly configure the devices before installation.
After the devices are installed, Iteris staff will be present under the construction inspection task to verify the
proper functionality of the switches.
In terms of controller timing conversions and configuration, the MUTCD has made changes that affect some of
the timing parameters such as the minimum yellows and flashing pedestrian "Don't Walk". The controller
upgrade locations are scattered throughout the City and therefore making the revisions necessary to meet the
new specifications would directly affect the synchronization of the corridors. Because of this, Iteris
recommends that the timing be directly converted over As Is to eliminate the need to re-evaluate the entire
system. Iteris can assist the City in performing the timing conversions as Iteris staff has conducted multiple
deployments of 2070 controllers with D4 software. Mr. Murillo performed the timing conversion and
integration of the 2070 controller with D4 software running the intersection of Golden Springs and High Knob.
This was the first integration of D4 software in Diamond Bar which led to the City selecting the software for all
their future 2070 controller upgrades. In terms of configuration, in order to communicate with the City's
TransSuite system, the controllers must be configured to properly communicate with the central system. Mr.
Gomez was directly involved in the integration and relocation of the City's TransSuite system and integrated
all of the City's existing 170 controllers with LACO-4E onto the system. Iteris proposes this task to be divided
into two subtasks. The first subtask will focus on obtaining the timing plans from the existing 170 controllers
to convert them into the D4 format. Iteris will then work with the contractor to load the converted timing plans
into the new controllers before deployment. The second subtask will focus on integrating the controllers onto
the TransSuite system. This will require some configuration modifications at the TransSuite system level and
controller configuration to communicate with TransSuite. Mr. Gomez will assist the City in making a request to
TransCore in order to make these modifications under the City's maintenance agreement with TransCore. All
of the tasks involved to meet and exceed the requirements set in this RFP have already been performed by
Iteris' staff for the City of Diamond Bar. The team is more than happy to continue providing the same services
that we have been providing since the inception of the City's first fiber traffic network. With Iteris' staff's
knowledge of the City's network and team of systems engineers dedicated to ITS integration, Iteris is certain
that the City will have the right team to support the City's goals.
I Iteris' hours and cost to provide support for these optional task are included in the Design Services Fee proposal.

D CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION & INSPECTION
Iteris has supported many clients with full design/ build projects throughout the years. The Iteris Team of
Transportation Engineers, Systems Engineers, System integrators and Software Engineers are fully capable of
executing all tasks relevanttothe design, construction and integration of a successful ITS project. Iteris' hands-
on experience provides Iteris with the knowledge of "why" and "how' things must operate to be considered
safe and fully operational. In order to optimize Iteris' support during Construction services, the team has
identified the tasks which will require on-site support. They are the following:
• Meetings: Iteris will be available to attend the pre -construction meeting as well as three additional meetings
throughout the course of the construction activities. The Project Manager and Project Engineer will also be
available via phone and e-mail to answer all questions pertaining to the project.
• Fiber Optic Inspection: Iteris staff will be present at the completion of the fiber splicing to verify each link
between the hubs and the intersections. The links will be verified by shinning a laser between the hub and
the traffic signal intersections. This approach will confirm that a link exist between the two points and
whether or not the fiber strands were terminated onto the appropriate ports at each location. Payment to
the contractor shall not be made until all fiber links are verified per the design plans. Properfiber splicing is
critical in the proper functionality of the system and its future upgrades.
• Rewire Inspection: Iteris staff will be present after each location is rewired to verify that all signal phases,
including pedestrian phases, are working as intended. The team will observe each intersection and confirm
that all vehicle heads are terminated according to the phase diagram. Contractor shall not be paid until this
has been carried out.
• Traffic Signal Upgrade Inspection: Iteris staff will be present immediately afterthe completion of traffic signal
upgrades to verify that all components were properly installed and configured to provide full functionality to
the City.
• Construction Support., This tasks includes Addressing complaints, reviewing and approving contractor's
submittals, RFIs. Review certified payrolls and invoices, Review Change Orders, Prepare daily and weekly
reports, including project progress and photo documentation by stages, prepare punch list and final job walk
through and submit the final as -built and final report to the City.

E PROJECT SCHEDULING
Per the City's request, all design plans must be ready for bid by within 30 days. This would give the team
approximately 4 weeks to complete the design plans and submit Final PS&E plans. This aggressive schedule
demands PS&E submittals at 100% and Final to present the City with a full PS&E deliverable to comment on.
This will give the City a better sense of the overall package and allow them to provide a full set of comments
for the Final Submittal preparation. Having the staff at hand to take on a project with such a short timeline,
Iteris is committed to beginning the field reviews immediately after the kickoff meeting. Field reviews are
critical forthe design and will be of high priority. Within a week and a half from the field review, Iteris will have
the 100% PS&E Submittal ready for the City to Review. The City will have a week to review and provide
comments back to Iteris. During this time, Iteris will be in direct contact with the City to answer questions and
commence revisions as reviews are finalized. At the end of the week, Iteris will schedule a meeting with the
City to discuss all comments so that the teams are in agreement. Iteris will then finalize the plans and submit
to the City for bid. Keep in mind that this timeline requires a team effort between the City of Diamond and
Iteris. An open line of communication will be critical at every step to ensure that the City's vision is followed.
Eliminating issues before they begin will be key. Our Project manager and internal QA/QC is committed to
serving the City on this project and its timeline.
Assuming that the project's kick-off meeting is held the first week in June, then the construction bidding will
most likely take place in the month of July and a construction contract is expected to be executed by August.
Iteris will provide the City with Bid support throughout the bidding process to ensure that the process is smooth
and enjoyable for the City. Once the Bid process is completed, Iteris staff will be on standby to attend the
preconstruction meeting and begin construction administration and support services.
Iteris has provided the following proposed project schedule, as shown in Table 4

TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITOF THE CITY OF DIAMOND
BAR AMENDING TITLE 15 OF THE DIAMOND BAR CITY CODE AND
ADOPTING, BY REFERENCE, THE 2016 CALIFORNIA BUILDING
CODE, VOLUMES 1 AND 2, INCLUDING APPENDICES C, I, AND J

AND THE APPENDICES THERETO, THE 2016 CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTIAL CODE, INCLUDING APPENDICES H, J, K, AND O
THERETO, AND THE 2016 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING CODE,
WITHOUT THE APPENDICES THERETO, TOGETHER WITH CERTAIN
AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND EXCEPTIONS.
RECOMMENDATION:
Open the public hearing, approve for Second Reading by Title only, waive full reading of
Ordinance No. 10(2016), and adopt.
BACKGROUND:
Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission updates the California
Building Standards Codes ("California Codes"), a compendium of construction standards
intended to ensure that buildings are constructed and renovated in a manner that is safe,
energy-efficient and green, and provides a decent quality of life for the buildings' occupants.
The commission published the 2016 updates this past July.
The California Codes serve as the baseline construction standards for all local governments in
the state. Cities and counties are also obligated to adopt amendments to the California Codes
so that they are better tailored to address local climatic, geologic and topographic conditions.
Local amendments may also be adopted to address quality -of -life values, such as preventing
blight caused by abandoned construction projects.
On November 1, 2016, the City Council conducted a public hearing and approved for first
reading Ordinance No. 10(2016) to amend Title 15 (Building and Construction Safety) of the
Diamond Bar Municipal Code. The twofold purpose of the ordinance is to adopt the 2016
California Codes, and those local amendments which are warranted based on the above
criteria.
For the most part, the 2016 local amendments are simply carryovers from prior code updates;
however, the November 1 staff report did not distinguish between those carryovers and what
are newly -proposed local amendments. At the previous hearing, the Council directed staff to
specify how the proposed local amendments differ from the last code update. This staff report
and the attached, annotated ordinance highlight those distinctions.
The codification protocols that the California Building Standards Commission follows routinely
lead to extensive renumbering of identical code provisions when comparing the 2016 California
Codes to prior versions. To avoid confusion, this report focuses on the actual changes in
content, rather than making any attempt to cross-reference the numbering changes between
the current and old codes.
Finally, a typographical error in the title of the ordinance presented for the first reading has
been corrected in Attachment 1: "Administrative Code" was corrected to read "Administration
Code.
DBMC TITLE 15 AMENDMENT SUMMARY:
The following is a summary of changes between the local amendments adopted in 2013 and
those proposed for 2016:
CBC Appendix J, Section J102.1PBuilding Code Official" deleted — The term "Building
Code Official" (differentiated from "Building Official') is no longer used in Appendix J.
CBC Appendix Section J102.1 — Definition of Civil Engineer and Soils Engineer — The
definitions were revised so that the requirements of the civil and soils engineers in this chapter
directly refer to the engineers that are responsible for the design within their respective,
specialized disciplines. This prevents the use of any registered engineer for certification or sign -
off of work performed, ensuring the project engineer who was linked to the project from the
beginning takes responsibility for the work performed pursuant to their design.
CBC Appendix Section J110.4.4 — Release of Security — This section related to a security
deposit required for grading projects. The requirement required planting and irrigation to be
installed as soon as practicable after the completion of rough grading. It is recommended that
this requirement be deleted because the ongoing activity on rough -graded lots results in
damage to such landscaping. Erosion and dust control measures are already mandated for
the duration of a construction project, and the installation of landscaping is already required
prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, so it is unnecessary and unreasonable to
mandate the installation of landscaping on an active construction site.
►:
CBC Appendix J112(iv) — Completion of Work/Rough Grade Certification — Grading
certification by the civil engineer is required for any grading projects. This language was not in
the code prior to this year. The addition of this statement unambiguously requires all grading
work to be certified by the civil and soils engineers of record. The addition of this language is
also intended to prevent situations where the engineer of record no longer acknowledges
responsibility to the project, and to place the burden of that engineer to monitor the work on an
ongoing basis.
DBMC Section 15.00.3210 — California Residential Code (CRC) Adoption — Appendix G
previously contained the regulatory provisions for swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs. Those
standards are now incorporated into the main provisions of the CBC, under Section 3109.4.
The cross-reference to Appendix G is thus deleted.'
CRC Appendix G, Section AG105.2(1) — This subsection is deleted because it also
referenced Appendix G at a time when the appendix contained the provisions for pool, spa and
hot tub barriers.
For convenience, the attached ordinance has been highlighted with underlining and strikeouts
to show where the above changes were made. Footnotes were also added to show
consistency with the above discussion, and to allow the reader to more easily see how the
above revisions have been incorporated into the language of the ordinance. The underlines,
strikeouts and footnotes will be omitted from the final signed and executed ordinance.
Finally, as requested by the Council, the full text of Appendix J of the 2016 California Building
Code is attached to support the discussion provided in this staff report.

B. ORDINANCE
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar does hereby find,
determine and ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: Findings in Support of Modifications to Title 24 Building Standards.
This Council does expressly find and determine that the modifications to the Title 24
building standards set forth herein are reasonably necessary to protect the health, welfare and
safety of the citizens of Diamond Bar because of the following local climatic, geological or
topographic conditions.
(1) The hillsides in Diamond Bar are composed of Puente Formation, and similar weak
geological materials, while neighboring flatland areas are composed of more stable
fill and alluvial materials. These materials may be naturally unstable or weak in terms
of physical support. These highly expansive soil conditions are vulnerable to earth
movement as well as unpredictable seismic response of buildings. The
unpredictable response from prior seismic events including Chino Hills, Northridge,
and the Whittier earthquakes have demonstrated the need for greater quality control
to ensure against poor seismic performance of multi -story structures.
(2) The City experiences diverse temperatures, which promotes expansion and
contraction of the soil. This condition is very damaging to expansive type soil.
(3) Because of the above-described climatic and geological conditions, the City of
Diamond Bar requires special engineering to support habitable structures within the
unstable soil areas and requires additional measures to be taken in connection with
excavation and grading activities.
(4) The City is located in a seismically active area and is in close proximity to various
active faults including the Chino, Sierra Madre, Cucamonga, Whittier, San Jacinto
and Raymond Faults It is reasonably foreseeable that an earthquake would render
the City particularly vulnerable to devastation.
(5) The City has extensive hillside topography, unstable geology, watershed areas,
expansive soils, and underground streams. In addition, the regional climate
alternates between extended periods of drought and brief periods of rainfall. For
these reasons, the City is susceptible to flood conditions.
(6) Because of the above-described geological conditions within the City, and the
substantial amount of freeway, railroad, and flood control facilities throughout the
community, the City, in the event of an earthquake, may be unable to dispatch an
2
adequate number of fire personnel and apparatus to suppress fires and conduct
rescue operations. Moreover, the conditions within Diamond Bar likewise occur in
surrounding communities, hereby rendering mutual aid assistance problematic, at
best.
(7) Due to the City's topography, numerous hillside fire hazard areas are located within
its boundaries.
(8) Climatic conditions within the community render it extremely likely that, in the event
of seasonal high winds and earthquake occurring, the County Fire Department would
be unable to suppress numerous fires occurring throughout the community.
(9) Located throughout the City, as well as in the surrounding communities, are
numerous concentrations of structures which have roofs constructed of thinly cut
pieces of wood, otherwise known as untreated shakes, as well as untreated wood
shingles. These untreated wood shakes and shingles are extremely combustible in
nature.
(10) The City is located in an area climatically classified as "arid" and prone to winds of
high velocity. Moreover, due to the and nature of the area, the weather during the
windy periods tends to be very warm and dry. The dry weather conditions present a
significant threat of wild fire to the City's undeveloped hillsides, wild lands, and
nearby homes, and highly populated areas. The potential for rapid spread of even
small fires create a need for increased levels of fire protection.
(11) Sound transmission controls are necessary to protect City residents from excessive
noise generated by multiple nearby freeway interchanges and large arterial streets,
among other sources.
(12) Local climate makes pool ownership desirable. Children often reside in close
proximity to swimming pools, making pool barriers necessary. This need is
increased due to potential delays in emergency rescue response resulting from the
location of hillside residences and traffic congestion.
(13) The City is in an area classified climatically as "arid" and subject to seasonal high
temperatures that will affect electrical wiring not designed to be retained for an
extended period of time.
The Council does hereby further expressly find and determine that the amendments to
the Title 24 building standards, set forth herein, and as referenced below, are appropriate given
the specific local climatic, geological or topographic conditions set forth above.

for adoption by the City at this time are the 1997 Uniform Housing Code and Substandard
Building requirements contained in Chapters 98 & 99 of the Los Angeles County Amendments,
2011 Edition. The 1997 Uniform Housing Code is used by our prosecutor's office for housing
issues that cannot be found in the Substandard Building requirements in the Los Angeles
County Amendments (Chapters 98 & 99). All of these codes were previously adopted by the
City and are reintroduced with only clerical modifications to refer to the Building Code
Administrative section and updating to the most current regulations.
Local Amendments:
The proposed ordinance amends Title 15 of the Diamond Bar Municipal Code by incorporating
the new 2016 California Building Standards Codes. In addition, the proposed ordinance
includes express findings and determinations for local amendments that are reasonably
necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.
The contents of the amendments proposed are the same as in the prior Building Code adoption
and are only updated to reflect current code references. The most significant technical changes
are summarized below:
® Administration: CBC Section 105.5 — The current code vaguely describes when a
permit expires as when a job is "suspended or abandoned". In review with the City
Prosecutor's office, this can be loosely interpreted to mean that very limited work, such
as hammering one nail, could prevent the City from deeming the project "suspended or
abandoned". This has become a difficult matter for code enforcement cases which
allows slow construction to continue indefinitely. As a result, we are again amending
this section to require a "successful inspection" tooccur. A successful inspection would
give the building inspector more authority to prove if significant progress has been made.
The recommended amendments also limit the length of time for permits that result in
work started without a permit in order to expedite the resolution of these kinds of code
enforcement cases.
® Fire Sprinklers on Extensively Remodeled Homes: CRC R313.1, R313.2, &
R337.1.3. — Fire sprinklers have been required by State code since the last code cycle
but only for new single family homes. There are numerous cases where additions and
alterations to existing dwellings have essentially been a new residence and by a
technicality have not been required to install fire sprinklers or meet Fire Zone
requirements. Areas that have been mapped by the State Fire Marshal as Very High
Severity Fire Zones are in a dangerous fire hazard area and potential of fire hazards
being present based on a technical loophole is reason for modification. Numerous
applicants have left one or a few walls standing in order to establish the work as an
2016 Building Code Update Page 2
addition rather than a new home in order to avoid various requirements including fire
sprinklers and fire zone requirements. In order to prevent this, if over 90% of the home
is new, it is considered completely new and would be required to meet all new
requirements of the Building Code including sprinklers and fire zone requirements.
® Completion of Accessibility (ADA) Improvements at Rough Inspection: CBC
110.3.4.2 — Accessible upgrades are required whenever improvements are made to a
commercial property. Most owners are unaware of this requirements and do not account
for these costs when improving a facility. This causes the owners to defer site access
issues to the end of projects and have caused delay with opening businesses. In order
to prevent this from continuing, this local amendment requires an Accessibility Rough
Inspection, which would require preparation of all accessible improvements earlier in the
construction process. The Accessible Rough Inspection would be required prior to or at
the time when a project passes a rough frame inspection (when stud walls are installed
prior to drywalling).
® Pool BarrierslFencinci: CBC 3109.4.1 — Pool barriers/fencing are required by these
as well as other similar sections of the Building and Residential Code. There is an
inconsistency between the State mandated height and the model code. In order to avoid
confusion, this amendment clarifies that a 5' high barrier is required consistent with the
State mandate (4' is incorrectly listed in the model code).
Geotechnical: CBC 1612.1.1, 1801.3, 1803.8, 1803.8.1, 1803.8.2 and 1809.4 relate to
geotechnical conditions specific to mapped hazard areas, expansive soils, and
geotechnical review for hazardous soils. The requirements allow the City Engineer or
Building Official to require review by qualified geotechnical consultants where hazards
or special conditions occur. CBC 1809.4 specifically outlines requirements for
expansive soils unless a geotechnical engineer advises otherwise.
® California Residential Code Consistency: CRC 8403.1.4.1, 8331, R332, and
R333 - The California Residential Code applies to single family dwellings while much of
the technical provisions were previously modified under the California Building Code. In
order to have consistency, some items such as pool barriers, special inspections, sound
transmission control, and expansive soil requirements listed in the California Residential
Code are referenced to the California Building Code. The addition of these provisions
do not change application of the code and are meant to further clarify application to
dwellings...
Structural Earthquake Connections: CRC R602.10.8 —This amendment is provided
to ensure direct connection of building components for seismic/earthquake forces. The
base code allows for a weaker nailed connection to resist lateral forces/earthquake
loads. The base code considers the entire country and was left in the State code in
error. The Los Angeles Regional Code Program and prior experience from earthquakes
have shown the types of connectors allowed under the base code have performed
poorly. This provision is not a new change and is currently in the City's Building Code.
This is re -introduced as required by the Health and Safety Code.
2016 Building Code Update Page 3
• Multi -Story Engineering: CRC R602.10 & R301.1.3.2 —This provision was created to
be consistent with the Los Angeles County and the local regional code organizations.
This amendment requires multi -story structures to be engineered where the base code
allows for multi -story structures without engineering. The poor performance of these
more complex structures has been proven by various studies the need for the knowledge
of an engineer. The purview of an engineerwill protect occupants from structural failure
in this seismically active region. These requirements are not new and are re -introduced
as required by the Health and Safety Code.
• Fire Zone: CRC R337.2 — The City had previously adopted the Fire Zone maps
created by CAL Fire in late 2008. The map has not changed but in order to maintain
clarity and follow. State law, the specific map is identified in the amendment. This is a
restatement of the specific approved map created by CAL Fire.
• Rehabilitation Code Update: Chapter 98 & 99 Los Angeles County Code - This
section is the same as the prior adoption. This section is to update the Rehabilitation
Code referencing to more current code sections. This section is part of the code
enforcement criteria for minimum housing standards, thus enhancing the quality of life
and preventing safety hazards in the City. It gives the City authority to address the
maintenance of residential housing as it relates to required exiting, minimum light and
ventilation, sanitation facilities, electrical wiring, weather protection, and abatement of
substandard housing. Chapter 98 was also included for abandoned buildings which
allows for enforcement of abandoned structures. Since this amendment does not
impose a technical construction requirement, it does not need to have any special
findings based on the Health and Safety Code.
• Grading: Appendix J — This amendment is that same as the prior adoption with
minor updates for the current code. This section transfers the power and duties usually
exercised by the Building Official on all items dealing with excavation and grading to the
City Engineer. This amendment is proposed due to the complexity of the submitted
grading plans, and the diverse topography in the City of Diamond Bar. Dealing with this
type of challenge requires the expertise of a civil engineer that is accustomed in
addressing these projects, and this amendment would address this need.
The adoption of the California Building Standards Codes 2016 edition will aid the Building
Official and City Engineer in administrative, organizational and enforcement rules and
regulations for the technical codes which regulate the site preparation and construction,
alteration, moving, demolition, repair, use and occupancy of buildings, structures and building
service equipment within the City.
COMMENTS FROM OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS:
The Fire Department and City Attorney have received and reviewed the proposed California
Building Code amendments, and find them to be acceptable in form and content.
