Background: On February 5, 2019 , the city councils of the cities of Chino Hills , Diamond Bar and Industry (collectively, the "Cities"), as well as the Successor Agency to the Industry-Urban Development Agency ("Successor Agency ") approved a settlement agreement to resolve certain disputes concerning ownership and us e of the Tres Hermanos Ranch . As part of that settlement agreement the Cities also approved an Amended and Restated Tres Hermanos Conse rvation Authority Joint Powers Agreement ("JPA ") forming the Conservation Authority , a joint powers authority organized under the Joint Powers Act, Government Code sections 6500 et seq. The JPA is an amended and restated joint powers agreement because there is an ex isting Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority that was established in January 1999 whose members are the City of Chino Hills ("Chino Hills") and the City of Diamond Bar ("Diamond Bar"). Based on a recent search of records , the City of Industry ("Industry") is an ex-officio non-voting member of the e xisting Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority. The Conservation Authority replaces in its entirety , t h is predecessor joint powers authority . In app roving the settlement agreement on February 5, 2019 , the Cities agreed that the Tres Hermanos Ranch serves an important environmental , educational , and recreational resource to the community and region . It was also determined that the most prudent method to protect these resources and the interests of the Cities was to transfer ownership of the Tres Hermanos Ranch to the Conservation Authority, in which the Cities would have representation on a Board of Directors and a say in its future . Through the Conservation Authority , the planning and coordination for the long -term use of the Tres Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Staff Report Overview of the JPA February 7 , 2019 Page2 Hermanos Ranch will allow for a community-based approach to any proposed future uses consistent with the purpose of the Conservation Authority and the Deed Restriction , which limits the use of Tres Hermanos Ranch to open space, public use or preservation. A copy of the JPA is included in Attachment 1. Discussion: As stated in the JPA, the purpose of the Conservation Authority is "to create a public entity to coordinate the overall conservation, use and potential improvement of the Tres Hermanos Ranch." The JPA is broken down into Chapters that define the organizational structure of the Conservation Authority. The following information summarizes some of the key provisions of the JPA. Organization Chapter 3 provides for the organization of the Conservation Authority including: • Board of Directors Section 3.2 provides for a seven (7) member governing Board of Directors comprised of three (3) Council Members from Industry, two (2) Council Members from Chino Hills, and two (2) Council Members from Diamond Bar.

However, there must be at least one (1) Director from each Member City present. Funding and Administration Chapter 4 provides for the funding of the Conservation Authority including: • Funding Section 4.1 provides that each Member will share equally in the routine maintenance costs. Each Member will be contributing $100 ,000 towards the first year maintenance costs .

Any revenue generated from the Conservation Authority will first be used to offset any maintenance costs to the Members and establish a reserve fund at the discretion of the Board. If there is a revenue surplus at the end of the fiscal year, the surplus will be distributed 50% to Industry, and 50% to either Chino Hills or Diamond Bar depending in which jurisdiction the revenue is being generated . If the revenue is generated in both jurisdictions, it is to be split in equal one-third shares.

City of Industry (“Industry”) B. City of Chino Hills (“Chino Hills”) C. City of Diamond Bar (“Diamond Bar”) RECITALS A. Chino Hills and Diamond Bar entered into that certain Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated January 19, 1999 (the “1999 Agreement”), the stated purpose of which was to create a joint powers authority to coordinate the overall development and conservation of the Tres Hermanos Ranch (the “Ranch”), by preparing studies, plans, environmental reviews and similar information and by making recommendations to its members to take such actions to implement its recommendations. In1999 Industry was made an ex-officio non-voting member of the Joint Powers Authority, but Industry’s status was, as of the Effective Date, unclear. B. The Ranch consists of approximately 2,445 acres of largely undeveloped property. Approximately 1,750 acres are within Chino Hills and 695 acres are within Diamond Bar. The Ranch was acquired by the Industry Urban-Development Agency in 1978 and is currently owned by the Successor Agency to Industry's Urban Development Agency (“Successor Agency”). Industry proposed to purchase the Ranch from the Successor Agency. Industry entered into a lease agreement and various amendments thereto with San Gabriel Valley Water and Power, LLC, a private entity (collectively the “Lease”) which was applicable to the Ranch in the event the Lease was (i) in effect, and (ii) the Ranch was purchased by Industry prior to December 31, 2018. Chino Hills and Diamond Bar objected to Industry’s proposed purchase and use, and initiated litigation in Sacramento and Los Angeles Superior Courts to (i) set aside the approvals related to Industry’s purchase of the Ranch and (ii) invalidate the Lease (the “Litigation”). C. After initiation of the Litigation, the Parties began settlement discussions to resolve the Litigation, which resulted in the Parties entering into a settlement agreement dated February 4, 2019, (the “Settlement Agreement”) which Settlement Agreement included as a condition thereof, that the Parties enter into this Agreement. 2 1383358.1 D. As part of the Settlement Agreement, Chino Hills and Diamond Bar will collectively contribute to Industry ten percent (10%) of Industry’s $41,650,000 purchase price for the Ranch from the Successor Agency. Chino Hills’ and Diamond Bar’s pro rata shares of the ten percent (10%) contribution were calculated on the basis of the amount of acreage of Ranch property within each city’s jurisdiction. Based upon this calculation, Chino Hills will contribute $2,959,967 to Industry and Diamond Bar will contribute $1,205,033 to Industry. E. The Parties agree that the Ranch serves as an important environmental, scientific, educational, and recreational resource, and that the most prudent method of managing the Ranch to best serve their respective jurisdictions is to transfer ownership of the Ranch to a re- constituted Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority in which all Parties have representation. F. The Parties have further determined that the planning and coordination of any future preservation, development or use of the Ranch by the re-constituted Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority will allow for rational regional land use planning and environmental conservation, as well as enable the Parties to realize significant cost savings and administrative efficiencies. G. The Parties have determined that the administrative and maintenance costs associated with the Ranch should be funded by the Parties, with costs apportioned as outlined by this Agreement. H. The Parties each have the power and authority to perform and contract with one another pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, sections 6500 et. seq. of the Government Code (“Joint Powers Act”), for the performance of the duties and functions that form the basis of this Agreement. I. The Parties intend that in entering into this Agreement that it shall replace and supersede in its entirety the 1999 Agreement and all amendments and/or addendums to the 1999 Agreement and the joint powers authority created thereunder. AGREEMENT In consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, it is agreed between and among each of the Parties that this Agreement amends, replaces and supersedes in its entirety the 1999 Agreement, any amendments or addendums thereto, and the joint powers authority created thereunder as follows: CHAPTER 1.

The Treasurer shall cause an independent audit to be made by a certified public accountant in compliance with Section 6505 of the Government Code. The certified public accountant shall be annually appointed by the Board. The Treasurer shall keep all revenues of the Authority in a separate account from any Member accounts, and, if available, an interest-bearing account, and otherwise perform the duties and responsibilities of that office as specified in Sections 6505 et seq. of Government Code. Any surplus funds not immediately needed may be invested in accordance with the investment policy annually adopted by the Board, as required by Government Code section 53646, and consistent with Government Code sections 16429.1, 53601, 53635, and 53684, as they may be amended. Any funds held by the joint powers authority pursuant to the 1999 Agreement shall, upon the Effective Date, be transmitted to the Treasurer for the Authority and placed in the Authority’s account.

Diamond Bar and Chino Hills shall each be credited with 50% of the transmitted funds, currently in the amount of $90,499. 3.9 LEGAL COUNSEL The Diamond Bar City Attorney shall serve as the Authority’s initial general counsel; provided, however, that the Board shall appoint an independent general counsel within six months of the Effective Date, which independent legal counsel shall not provide or be providing any other legal services to any Member without the express written approval by the Board. Cost for general counsel services shall be considered Maintenance Costs. Extraordinary legal services (for example prosecuting on behalf of or defending the Authority, its officers, and agents in a legal action) shall be considered Extraordinary Costs (as defined in Section 4.2 below). The Members agree that the provision of legal services to the Authority by the Diamond Bar City Attorney shall not preclude or constitute a conflict of interest with respect to the Diamond Bar City Attorney providing city attorney services to Diamond Bar. 3.10 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The executive director of the Authority (“Executive Director”) shall perform any duties necessary and appropriate for the day-to-day management and operation of the Authority and award and execute contracts in amounts set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise authorized by the Board. 9 1383358.1 3.11 DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The deputy executive director of the Authority (“Deputy Executive Director”) is authorized to and shall perform those functions of the Executive Director when the Executive Director is not available. The Deputy Executive Director shall inform the Executive Director of all actions taken during the period of the Executive Director’s unavailability as soon as reasonable practicable. 3.12 ROTATION OF ADMINISTRATION From the Effective Date, the Industry City Manager shall serve as the Executive Director, the Diamond Bar City Manager shall serve as the Deputy Executive Director, the Chino Hills Finance Director shall serve as the Treasurer, and the Industry City Clerk shall serve as Secretary. The offices of Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, Treasurer and Secretary shall be held until December 31, 2020. Beginning on January 1, 2021, the offices shall rotate, so that Diamond Bar’s City Manager shall serve as Executive Director, Chino Hills’ City Manager shall serve as Deputy Executive Director, Industry’s Finance Director shall serve as Treasurer, and Diamond Bar’s City Clerk shall serve as Secretary. These offices shall be held for two years and then beginning on January 1, 2023, Chino Hills’ City Manager shall serve as Executive Director, Industry’s City Manager shall as Deputy Executive Director, Chino Hills’ Finance Director shall as Treasurer, and Chino Hills’ City Clerk shall as Secretary. After two years in office, the offices shall rotate effective January 1, 2025, to the initial year’s officer appointments and then the same rotation set forth above shall be repeated for the term of this Agreement. 3.13 BOND The Treasurer, auditor and such other persons who may have access to, or handle, any revenue of the Authority shall be required to file an official bond in an amount determined by the Board and consistent with the provisions of Section 6505.1 of the Government Code. This bonding requirement shall be satisfied if an existing bond is extended to cover the duties required by this Agreement. The costs of complying with the requirements of this Section shall be considered an administrative expense of the Authority. 3.14 STATUS OF OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES In accordance with the Joint Powers Act, all of the privileges and immunities from liability, exemptions from laws, ordinances and rules, and all pension, relief, disability, workers compensation and other benefits which apply to the activities of officers, agents, or employees of any of the Members when performing their respective duties or functions for that Member, shall 10 1383358.1 apply to each of them to the same degree and extent while engaged in the performance of any activity, function or duty pursuant to the Agreement on behalf of the Authority. 3.15 POLITICAL REFORM ACT The Directors, and their alternates, shall be considered public officials within the meaning of the Political Reform Act of 1974, as amended, and its regulations, for the purposes of financial disclosure, conflict of interest and other requirements of such Act and regulations and shall file annual statements of economic interest as required, along with any other officers of the Authority who may be required to do so. Other persons working for or on behalf of the Authority may be required to file such statements in accordance with the Authority’s conflict of interest code, which shall be adopted by the Board promptly. CHAPTER 4. FUNDING AND ADMINISTRATION 4.1 FUNDING A. Each Member shall pay an equal one-third share (“Maintenance Cost Member Share”) of the cost for the reasonable annual and recurring maintenance of the Ranch, for insurance, for legal and costs of administration of the Authority and a reasonable reserve as established by the Board (“Maintenance Costs”). Such costs shall be specified in the annual budget approved by the Authority in accordance with this Agreement. B. For the Authority’s first fiscal year, which fiscal year shall be from the Effective Date to June 30, 2020, each Member shall contribute a Maintenance Cost Member Share of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), which amount shall be transmitted to the Treasurer within 30 days of the Effective Date and deposited into a separate Authority account; provided, however, that Diamond Bar and Chino Hills shall receive credits against their respective contributions for funds transmitted to the Treasure in accordance with Section 3.8 above. C. After the initial fiscal year, the Treasurer shall invoice each Member its Maintenance Cost Member Share on July 1 of each Fiscal Year and payment in full shall be due within 30 days of receipt of each invoice. A 3% penalty shall be assessed for any late payments received after the 30-day period and payments more than 30 days late shall in addition, accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. D. Should the actual Maintenance Costs exceed the budgeted amount, those costs shall be carried over into the next Fiscal Year as Maintenance Costs and added to the amount to be invoiced to each Member as Maintenance Costs in relation to the 11 1383358.1 Maintenance Cost Member Share of each Member. If the Authority does not have sufficient funds on hand to pay the Maintenance Costs, it shall estimate the amount needed for the remainder of the Fiscal Year and invoice each Member such amount in accordance with each Member’s Share. 4.2 ADDITIONAL COST OBLIGATIONS A. Any costs over and above Maintenance Costs (“Extraordinary Costs”), including capital improvements, extraordinary legal costs and non-routine maintenance shall be identified in the budget approved by the Authority. As part of the budget process, the Board shall separately estimate the Extraordinary Costs and each Member’s proportionate share of such costs, taking into consideration which Member(s) will primarily benefit from the Extraordinary Costs (each an “Extraordinary Cost Member Share”). If Extraordinary Costs are not known at the time of budget approval, the budget shall be amended to include those costs and Members shall be invoiced separately for the Extraordinary Cost Member Share of each Member as determined by the Board. B. Notwithstanding the above, Industry has identified that the Arnold Reservoir dam is in need of a one-time repair and requires remediation, to wit, the construction and/or installation of erosion control measures on the wet side of the earthen dam (the “Remediation Work”). At the time this Agreement was approved by the Members, Industry was still in the process of analyzing and engineering the Remediation Work. Industry agrees to complete this process and prepare plans and specifications for the Remediation Work, perform the Remediation Work and pay all costs associated with the Remediation Work. The plans and specifications shall be submitted to each Member’s city engineer for their reasonable review and comment, at a cost to the respective Member, not the Authority. Any such comments shall be in writing and provided to Industry within seven (7) business days of receipt of the plans and specifications. The Members’ city engineers shall work in good faith to resolve all comments, if any. As consideration for Industry’s performance of and payment for the Remediation Work, the Authority agrees, at no cost to Industry, to cooperate and take all reasonable steps to assist Industry in securing the necessary permit, if any, to perform the Remediation Work and to issue an encroachment permit to Industry to perform the Remediation Work. The encroachment permit for the Remediation Work shall contain such conditions as are standard and customary for third parties performing work on the Members’ public property, including, but not limited to, insurance and indemnity requirements, and shall be approved as to form by Authority’s General Counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Industry may satisfy the insurance and indemnity requirements of the encroachment permit by including 12 1383358.1 the Authority, its appointed officials, officers, agents, and attorneys as additional insureds and indemnified parties in the contract awarding the Remediation Work; provided such provisions are reasonably satisfactory to, and approved in writing by, the Authority’s General Counsel. After completion of the one-time Remediation Work, Industry shall not be responsible for any future repair, maintenance or other work to the Arnold Reservoir dam. 4.3 APPROVAL BY MEMBERS’ CITY COUNCILS To the extent any Member is required to pay either its Maintenance Cost Member Share or Extraordinary Cost Member Share, the obligation to pay such amounts is binding on a Member only if approved by that Member’s city council, which approval may be approved as part of each Member’s adoption of its annual city budgets. 4.4 EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE In the event the Ranch or any improvement thereon suffers damage requiring emergency repairs, the Executive Director, upon written notification to the Board and its general counsel and written concurrence from all of the Members’ city managers, is authorized without prior Board approval to expend funds to have the necessary emergency repairs completed as soon as possible from available Authority funds, but in no event, shall such expenditures exceed $15,000 per Fiscal Year per emergency event without prior Board approval. The Board shall convene as soon as reasonably practical to ratify any such expenditure and to approve any expenditure exceeding $15,000. The cost of such repairs shall be borne equally by each Member. For purposes of this Section 4.4, an emergency shall exist if all Members’ city managers agree the circumstances set forth in Public Contract Code section 20168 exist. 4.5 PURCHASING POLICY In procuring services and public works contracts, the Authority shall initially follow the purchasing policies of Chino Hills and applicable provisions of the Public Contracts Code. The Board shall direct that a purchasing policy be presented to the Board within one year of the date first written above, and upon adoption by resolution, it shall become the purchasing policy of the Authority. The Executive Director is authorized to approve purchases and execute contracts authorized by the budget with a value of up to $15,000 per fiscal year. Purchases and contracts with a value exceeding $15,000 per fiscal year must be approved by the Board. The Board may alter such authority by Resolution. 13 1383358.1 CHAPTER 5. BUDGETARY PROVISIONS 5.1 ANNUAL BUDGET The Board shall adopt an annual budget and procedures therefore so that by April 30th of each year the budget may be timely submitted to the Members to include in their annual city budgets. A preliminary draft of the budget shall be presented to the Board by March 30th of each year and as provided in Chapter 4 above, shall separate out Maintenance Costs and Extraordinary Costs and the Maintenance Cost Member Share and Extraordinary Cost Member Share of each Member. The Board shall establish a reasonable reserve and the policy and timing for funding such reserve. Upon Board adoption, the budget shall be immediately transmitted to each Member for consideration and if approved by each Member’s city council, be included in each Member’s annual budget for the Fiscal Year in which the budget is approved. 5.2 DISBURSEMENTS The Treasurer shall draw checks and/or warrants in accordance with policies and/or procedures established by this Agreement and as otherwise established by Resolution of the Board. A summation of such payments shall be presented to the Board quarterly at a Board meeting as part of the Treasurer’s quarterly report. 5.3 ACCOUNTS All funds shall be placed in Authority accounts segregated from any Member accounts and the receipt, transfer or disbursement of funds shall be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to government entities. There shall be strict accountability for all funds. All interest earnings, revenues and expenditures shall be reported quarterly to the Board as part of the Treasurer’s quarterly report. 5.4 EXPENDITURES WITHIN APPROVED ANNUAL BUDGET All expenditures shall be within the limitations of the approved annual budget, and as required for emergency repairs, or as such budget is amended by the Board. 5.5 REVENUES Any revenue derived or generated from any use, lease, license or disposition of any portion of the Ranch shall remain with the Authority to use for Authority purposes and to offset, in whole or part, any Authority costs. In the event revenues exceed the Authority’s costs during any Fiscal Year and the full funding of any reserve amount as established by the Board as provided in Section 5.1 above, such revenues shall be distributed at the end of each Fiscal Year 14 1383358.1 to each Member as follows: (1) if the portion of the Ranch from which such revenues are derived is located entirely within Chino Hills, 50% to Industry and 50% to Chino Hills; (2) if the portion of the Ranch from which such revenues are derived is located entirely within Diamond Bar, 50% to Industry and 50% to Diamond Bar; and (3) if the portion of the Ranch from which any excess revenues are derived is located in both Chino Hills and Diamond Bar, the revenue shall be split among the Members in equal one-third shares. The Board may, on a case-by-case basis, provide for revenue sharing based on a different formula in accordance with the voting requirements in Chapter 6 below. 5.6 USES AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE The Members agree that the use of the Ranch for cattle grazing as it currently exists and persons that have been residing on the Ranch with the knowledge of Industry may remain on the Ranch for a period of not less than 180 days from the Effective Date, provided that such use and residency does not intensify or otherwise pose any danger or liability to the Authority as determined by the Board. By the end of the 180-day period, the Board shall in good faith consider such uses and residency and take such actions as the Board deems reasonably necessary to formalize any contractual relationships pertaining to such use and residency or, in its sole discretion, determine to cease such use and residency. CHAPTER 6. BOARD VOTING REQUIREMENTS All actions of the Board shall require at least four votes, including at least two votes from Industry and at least one vote from each Member; provided, however, that special voting rules shall apply in the following situations: A. Any proposed use, lease or disposition of all or a portion of the Ranch by a Member or third party, shall require four votes, including at least two votes from Directors from Industry and at least one vote of a Director from the Member within whose jurisdictional boundaries the Ranch property proposed for such use, lease or disposition is located. If the portion of the Ranch proposed for a use, lease or disposition, is located in both Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, approval of at least one Director from both Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, and two Directors from Industry shall be required. B. Any action that is required by the Authority to enforce Industry’s obligations under Section 8.2H below, or Authority’s decision to retain separate legal counsel to defend the Authority Parties against Claims pursuant to Section 8.2H below, shall require a vote of at least four Directors, but no vote from a Director from Industry shall be required. 15 1383358.1 C. Termination of a Member, penalties assessed against a Member for a breach under Sections 9.3 and 9.4 below, and/or any action to enforce any Member liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions between Industry dated February 6, 2019 by and between Industry and the Authority, shall require a vote of at least four Directors, but no vote from a Director from the breaching, obligated or liable Member shall be required. CHAPTER 7. LAND USE REGULATIONS/DEED RESTRICTION Any use, lease, license or disposition of all or any portion of the Ranch as set forth in Chapter 6 above, shall be consistent with the Deed Restriction and the land use, building and other applicable laws, regulations and processing requirements of the jurisdiction in which the property proposed for such use, lease, license or disposition is located (i.e., Chino Hills and/or Diamond Bar). Board approval of a such use, lease, license or disposition of all or a portion of the Ranch shall not in any way limit a Member’s regulatory authority over such proposed use or disposition. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Chino Hills and Diamond Bar each have the authority to transfer residential units from the portion of the Ranch that is located within their respective City’s boundaries without the approval of the Authority and the Authority shall have no rights or obligations with regard to such transfers. CHAPTER 8. LIABILITY/INSURANCE 8.1 LIABILITY The debts, liabilities and obligations of the Authority shall not be considered the debts, liabilities or obligations of any Member, except as otherwise provided in this Chapter or State law. 8.2 INDEMNIFICATION/HOLD HARMLESS/INSURANCE A. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 8.2, the Authority shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Member, its officers, agents, employees, attorneys, representatives and volunteers from and against any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense, or damages of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the acts or omissions of Member employees, officers, Staff, agents, attorneys, representatives and volunteers, while performing services for the Authority. The Authority shall finance its obligation pursuant to this Section by establishing a liability reserve fund, by purchasing commercial insurance, and/or by joining a joint powers insurance authority (“JPIA”) as determined by the Board. In the event that the Authority’s financial obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, pursuant to this Section, exceed the liability reserve fund and the proceeds from 16 1383358.1 any applicable insurance or JPIA coverage maintained by the Authority (“Unfunded Liability”), the Board shall make a recommendation to each Member’s city council as to whether to fund Unfunded Liability and the proportionate share of such funding to be contributed by each Member. No Member shall be liable for such contribution unless each Member’s city council agrees to the contribution toward the Unfunded Liability recommended by the Board at the time the need to contribute to the Unfunded Liability arises. B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.2A above, the Authority, its officers, agents, contractors, employees, representatives, Staff and volunteers, shall not be liable, in any manner, to any Member, or to an officer, official, or employee of any Member, for any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense, or damages which may be incurred by, or brought against a Member, or to an officer, official or employee of any Member, regardless of whether or not such liability may have arisen, in whole or in part, by the negligent acts, conduct, or omissions of one or more of the above. C. Each Member shall assign to the Authority its rights, title, and interest to recover damages from any third party for claims arising out of this Agreement, to the extent that the Authority has met its obligations to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Member pursuant to this Chapter. D. Should any Member utilize the Ranch for its own purposes, which use must be approved in accordance with Section 6.A above, such Member shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Authority and the other Members from all claims, demands, actions, liability, or damages of any kind or nature, arising out of such use. E. Each Member shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Authority, its officers, agents, and representatives from and against any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense, or damages of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with any conduct of its employees, officers, agents, attorneys, representatives, and volunteers to the extent that any such loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense or damages arises out of conduct which is not within such person’s scope of duties for the Authority. F. The Authority shall purchase general liability insurance or in the alternative, participate in a joint insurance pool or some combination thereof, to cover any damages or loss relating to the Ranch as well as any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense, or damages alleging a dangerous condition of the Ranch or otherwise arising out of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance and/or membership in a joint insurance pool shall be considered Maintenance 17 1383358.1 Costs. A current certificate of insurance evidencing general liability coverage or such other proof as may be reasonably acceptable, shall be approved by the Authority's general counsel and filed with the Secretary. G. No provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as to require any Member to obtain or maintain liability or other insurance coverage not otherwise required by law. H. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Industry shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Authority, its Directors, officers, Staff, agents, attorneys and employees, if any (collectively, “Authority Parties”), from and against any loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense, or damages (collectively, “Claims”) of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with any dispute between Industry and San Gabriel Valley Water and Power, LLC, its directors, officers, employees, assigns, successors, and affiliates (collectively, “San Gabriel Parties”), including without limitation any dispute arising out of the Lease; provided, however, that should the Authority Parties incur any legal costs in defending any Claims, the costs of such defense shall be shared among the Members as follows: Industry shall pay 50% of such costs; Chino Hills shall pay 35.5% of such costs and Diamond Bar shall pay 14.5% of such costs. In the event any litigation is commenced by the Authority to enforce Industry’s obligations under this Section 8.2H, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to its reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and courts costs, as awarded by a court of competition jurisdiction, in addition to any other relief to which the Authority may be entitled. 8.3 GOVERNMENT CLAIMS A. To the extent authorized by Government Code section 935 and any other laws, all claims against the Authority for money or damages, including any claims otherwise excepted from the claims filing requirement by Government Code section 905, shall be subject to and presented within the time and manner prescribed in Part 3 of Division 3.6 of Title 1 of the Government Code. A signed written claim shall be presented to the Authority by mail or personal delivery by the claimant or a person authorized by claimant to act on his or her behalf. The claim shall conform to the requirements of Government Code section 910. B. Unless otherwise designated by the Board, the city manager of each Member, or their designees shall comprise a Claims Committee. The Claims Committee shall, in consultation with legal counsel for the Authority, review all claims and make recommendations to the Board concerning their disposition. 18 1383358.1 CHAPTER 9. ADMISSION OR WITHDRAWAL OF MEMBERS 9.1 NEW MEMBERS Additional public entities may become Members of the Authority upon such terms and conditions as may be specified by the Board. New Members shall pay to the Authority an amount to be determined by the Board at the time of application and become new Members upon meeting such additional conditions imposed upon them by the Board. Approval of a new Member shall be in accordance with Chapter 6 above. 9.2 WITHDRAWAL A Member may voluntarily withdraw from the Authority at the end of any Fiscal Year and terminate its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement by giving written notice of its intention to withdraw to the Secretary no later than December 31st. The written notice shall be accompanied by a resolution from the city council of the Member specifying its intent to withdraw from the Authority and shall be effective as of June 30th of the current Fiscal Year. Any written notices received between December 31st and June 30th, shall be effective in the following Fiscal Year. Withdrawal of a Member shall not relieve the withdrawing Member of its share of any debts or other liabilities incurred by the Authority prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, or any liabilities imposed upon or incurred by the Member pursuant to this Agreement prior to the effective date of such withdrawal. Upon the effective date of a withdrawal, the withdrawing Member shall not be entitled to any revenue being generated by a use, lease, or license of all or a portion of the Ranch under Section 5.5; provided, however, that it shall remain entitled to its proportionate share of revenue from (1) any existing or future long- term lease (i.e., a lease of all or a portion of the Ranch with a term of thirty-five (35) years or more, including any extension options thereto exercised by the tenant under such lease), and (2) any sale of all or any portion of the Ranch when, and if such, occurs. The withdrawn Member’s share of any revenue from a long-term lease or the sale of all or any portion of the Ranch shall be reduced, however, by (1) any amounts that were due the Authority by the withdrawn member and have not been paid, and (2) one third of the amount of Maintenance Costs, Extraordinary Costs and/or Unfunded Liabilities that have been paid by the remaining Members since the date of the Member’s withdrawal, plus interest on such costs at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the time they are incurred or were due from the withdrawn Member, but not paid. The Board may, with the approval of each Member’s city council, agree to different terms for a Member withdrawal. 9.3 BREACH In addition to any other remedies available at law, including, but not limited to specific performance, the Board shall have the authority to terminate the membership of any Member in the event the Member materially breaches its duties pursuant to this Agreement. For the 19 1383358.1 purposes of this Section, the term “material breach” shall include, without limitation, a failure of a Member to fund its Member Share Maintenance Cost or its Extraordinary Cost Member Share, the failure to make any contributions or pay any assessment when due, and the failure to defend or indemnify other Members as required in Sections 8.2.D, 8.2.E, and 8.2.H, above. The Board shall give the breaching Member notice of the breach and the right to cure the breach within thirty (30) days of the notice. If the breach cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days, the Board shall provide additional time; provided that the breaching Member commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. If the breaching Members fails to cure or diligently pursue such cure of the breach within the time provided to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board, the Board shall have the right to terminate the Membership of the breaching Member. Termination of a Member for breach shall not relieve the terminated Member of its proportionate share of any debts or other liabilities incurred by the Authority or any liabilities imposed upon or incurred by the Member pursuant to this Agreement prior to the effective date of such termination. For purposes of determining the terminated Member’s share of revenues, a termination shall be treated the same as a withdrawal under Section 9.2 above; provided, however, that any costs incurred by the remaining Members to cure the terminated Member’s breach shall reduce the terminated Member’s right to share in revenues. 9.4 PENALTIES Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.3 above, and without waiving any other remedies available by law or through this Agreement, the Board may determine not to terminate a Member for a material breach. To the extent the non-breaching Members pay any costs for which the breaching Member is responsible, including, but not limited to, costs to cure the breaching Member’s breach, the breaching Member’s share of any revenues under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount paid by the non-breaching Member(s)’ to cure the breach and the non-breaching Member(s) share of revenues shall be increased in proportion to the amounts such Members have paid under this Section 9.4, until the non-breaching Members are reimbursed for any such payments, plus interest at the rate of five percent (5)% per annum from the time such payments are made. CHAPTER 10. AUTHORITY TERMINATION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS 10.1 TERMINATION The Authority shall continue to exercise the joint powers specified in this Agreement until termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate if: (a) a majority of the Members give the Authority written notice of their intention to withdraw, whether at the same time or different times, as specified in Section 9.2; (b) all of the Members mutually agree to terminate this Agreement; or (c) if the Ranch is purchased in its entirety by a third party or parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of the Authority shall occur until all 20 1383358.1 Authority debts, liabilities, and obligations and other payments are made in accordance with a resolution adopted by the Board. 10.2 DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY A. The Authority is the fee owner of the Ranch. In the event of a termination of this Agreement due to the withdrawal by both Chino Hills and Diamond Bar pursuant to Section 9.2 above, Industry shall have the first right to purchase the Ranch, subject to the Deed Restriction. Within forty-five (45) days of a written notice received by the Authority that results in both Chino Hills and Diamond Bar withdrawing from the Authority, Industry shall provide the Authority with written notice of its desire to purchase the Ranch (“Industry Notice”). In the event the Authority receives the Industry Notice, Industry’s purchase price shall be $4,165,000 (“Industry Purchase Price”), which is the difference between Industry’s original contribution of $37,485,000 toward the Authority’s purchase of the Ranch and the Authority’s original purchase price of the Ranch in the amount of $41,650,000 (“Authority Purchase Price”). The Industry Purchase Price shall be paid to Chino Hills in the amount of $2,959,967 and paid to Diamond Bar in the amount of $1,205,033. B. In the event of a termination of this Agreement that is due in part to a withdrawal of Industry pursuant to Section 9.2 above, Chino Hills and Diamond Bar shall have the first right to purchase portions of the Ranch, subject to the Deed Restriction. Within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Industry’s written notice of withdrawal, Chino Hills and/or Diamond Bar shall provide the Authority with written notice of their/its desire to purchase that portion of the Ranch lying within their respective jurisdictions (“Purchase Notice”). In the event the Authority receives a Purchase Notice from Chino Hills, the purchase price for Chino Hills shall be $26,615,698 (“Chino Hills Purchase Price”), which is the difference between Chino Hills’ original contribution of $2,959,967 toward the Authority Purchase Price and that portion of the Authority Purchase Price attributable to the 1750.46 acres of the Ranch lying within Chino Hills’ jurisdiction ($29,599,666). The full amount of the Chino Hills Purchase Price shall be paid to Industry. In the event the Authority receives a Purchase Notice from Diamond Bar, the purchase price shall be $10,844,312 (“Diamond Bar Purchase Price”), which is the difference between Diamond Bar’s original contribution of $1,205,033 toward the Authority Purchase Price and that portion of the Authority Purchase Price attributable to the 712.63 acres of the Ranch lying within Diamond Bar’s jurisdiction ($12,050,334). The full amount of the Diamond Bar Purchase Price shall be paid to Industry. 21 1383358.1 C. In the event this Agreement is terminated for any other reason or a Member does not elect its right of first purchase, the Ranch, or portion thereof, shall be conveyed to the Members as tenants in common in the following manner: 1. That portion of the Ranch within the jurisdictional limits of Chino Hills shall be conveyed to Industry and Chino Hills as tenants in common, 50% to Industry and 50% Chino Hills. In consideration thereof, Chino Hills shall pay to Industry $11,839,866 (“Chino Hills Tenancy Price”), which is 50% of the difference between that portion of the Authority’s original purchase price attributable to the 1750.46 acres of the Ranch lying within Chino Hills’ jurisdiction ($29,599,666) and Chino Hills’ contribution of $2,959,967 to Authority’s original purchase price of the Ranch. 2. That portion of the Ranch within the jurisdictional limits of Diamond Bar shall be conveyed to Industry and Diamond Bar as tenants in common, 50% to Industry and 50% to Diamond Bar. In consideration thereof, Diamond Bar shall pay to Industry $4,820,134 (“Diamond Bar Tenancy Price”), which is 50% of the difference between that portion of the Authority’s original purchase price attributable to the 712.63 acres of the Ranch lying within Diamond Bar’s jurisdiction ($12,050,334) and Chino Hills’ contribution to Authority’s original purchase price of $1,205,033. 3.

Lyons Delegate (Alternate) Vacant General Counsel 1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Board of Directors Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Diamond Bar, California Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the general fund information of the Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority (the Authority) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’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. 203 N. Brea Blvd., Suite 203 Brea, CA 92821 Phone: 714.672.0022 An Association of Independent Accounting Firms To the Board of Directors Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Diamond Bar, California Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the general fund information of the Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority as of June 30, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Management has omitted the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing 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. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 27, 2018 on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, re gulations, 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 Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Description of the Reporting Entity The Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority (Authority) is a joint powers agency created by a joint powers agreement between the cities of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar, California, dated January 19, 1999. It was created pursuant to Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California, in accordance with the provisions of the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The purpose of the Authority is to create a public entity to coordinate the overall development and conservation of a large undeveloped area of real property known as the Tres Hermanos Ranch, by preparing studies, plans, environmental reviews and similar information and by making recommendations to its members to take such actions including, but not limited to, acquisition and eminent domain as are necessary to implement its recommendations. The Authority is a public entity separate and apart from each of the Cities. The funds of the Authority have not been included within the scope of the basic financial statements of the Cities because the Authority has its own governing board that has responsibility over the operations of the Authority. Only the funds of the Authority are included herein, therefore, these financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position or results of operation of the cities of Chino Hills or Diamond Bar. b. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (Statements of Net Position and Statement of Activities) report information on all activities of the Authority. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Revenues include contributions of the participating agencies. c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and 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. 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. 6 TRES HERMANOS CONSERVATION AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2018 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and 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 collectable 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 period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. 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. d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits that are maintained in a bank account to pay obligations of the Authority. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at fair value on the accompanying statement of net position and governmental fund balance sheet. Functional Classification Expenditures of the Authority are classified as general government. e. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position and governmental fund balance sheet 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 Authority has no items that qualify for reporting in this category. In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and governmental fund balance sheet 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 so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authority has no items that qualify for reporting in this category. Note 2: Cash and Cash Equivalents Demand Deposits At June 30, 2018, the carrying amount of the Authority’s deposits was $92,387 and the bank balance was $92,387. 7 TRES HERMANOS CONSERVATION AUTHORITY BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 Variance with Final Budget Actual Positive Original Final Amounts (Negative) Budgetary Fund Balance, July 1 94,158$ 94,158$ 94,158$ -$ Resources (Inflows): Investment income - - 139 139 Amounts Available for Appropriations 94,158 94,158 94,297 139 Charges to Appropriations (Outflow): General government: Auditing services - 2,000 1,910 90 Total Charges to Appropriations - 2,000 1,910 90 Budgetary Fund Balance, June 30 94,158$ 92,158$ 92,387$ 229$ Budget Amounts 8 TRES HERMANOS CONSERVATION AUTHORITY NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION JUNE 30, 2018 Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability The Executive Director directs the preparation of the Authority operating budget that is approved by the Board at the annual meeting. 9 TRES HERMANOS CONSERVATION AUTHORITY STAFF REPORT Date : February 7 , 2019 To: Chair and Board of Directors From: Daniel Fox , Deputy Executive Director AGENDA NO. 6.1 Subject: Consideration of a Purchase and Sale Agreement/Joint Escrow Instructions transferring the Tres Hermanos Ranch from the City of Industry to the Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority . Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors take the following actions: A. Adopt Resolution No . 2019-01 approving, and authoriz ing the Deputy Executive Director to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement/Joint Escrow Instructions for Tres Hermanos Ranch (Tres Hermanos PSA) transferring the Tres Hermanos Ranch from the City of Industry to the Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority ("Conservation Authority"), and finding that approval or Resolution No . 2019-01 is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Title 14, Californ ia Code of Regulations , Sections 15325(a) and 15301 ; and B. Authorize the Deputy Executive Director to execute such other documents and take such other actions necessary to implement the Tres Hermanos PSA. Background: On February 5 , 2019 , the city councils of the cities of Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and Industry (collectively, the "Cities "), as well as the Successor Agency to the Industry-Urban Development Agency ("Successor Agency") approved a settlement agreement to resolve certa in disputes concerning ownership and use of the Tres Hermanos Ranch . As part of that settlement agreement , the Cities also approved an Amended and Restated Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Joint Powers Agreement ("JPA") form ing the Conservation Authority, a joint powers authority organized under the Joint Powers Act, Government Code sections 6500 , et seq. As stated in the JPA, the purpose of the Conservation Authority is "to create a public entity to coordinate the overall conservation , use and potential improvement of the Tres Hermanos Ranch ." The JPA is an amended and restated joint powers agreement because there is an existing Tres Hermanos Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Staff Report Tres Hermanos Pu rchase and Sale Agreement February 7 , 2019 Page 2 Conservation Author ity whose members are the City of Chino Hills ("Chino Hills") and the City of Diamond Bar ("Diamond Bar"). Based on a recent search of records , the City of Industry ("Industry") is an ex-officio non -voting member of the existing Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority. The Conservation Authority replaces in its entirety , this predecessor joint powers authority. Under the settlement agreement, the Cities and Successor Agency agreed that the Successor Agency, which currently owns Tres Hermanos Ranch , would transfer Tres Hermanos Ranch to the City of Industry ("Industry") for $41 ,650 ,000 million . The settlement agreement further provides that Industry will then transfer the Ranch to the Conservation Authority for the same amount , with the Cities all contributing a portion of the cost as set forth in the Tres Hermanos PSA. The JPA provides additional details as to how the Conservation Authority will be operated and Tres Hermanos Ranch maintained and managed. In the absence of the transfer of Tres Hermanos Ranch to the Conservation Authority, the JPA provides that the JPA creating the Conservation Authority will terminate by its own terms . Tres Hermanos Ranch includes approximately 2,445 acres of contiguous undeveloped open space located within Diamond Bar and Chino Hills. It has historically been used for ranching , farming and cattle grazing , although in recent years the use has been lim ited chiefly to cattle grazing . There is also a reservoir on the Tres Hermanos Ranch. Approximately 695 acres of the Tres Hermanos Ranch are located within the boundaries of Diamond Bar, and approximately 1,750 acres are located within the boundaries of Chino Hills as is depicted in Attachment 1. On February 3, 1978 , Industry acquired Tres Hermanos Ranch an~ later that same year transferred it to the Industry Urban-Development Agency ("RDA"), which was the redeve lopment agency established in In dustry . In 2011 the Tres Hermanos Ranch was transferred from the RDA to Industry . In 2012 , the Tres Hermanos Ranch was transferred from Industry to the Successor Agency as required by the Redevelopment Dissolution Act of 2011-State legislation which provided for the dissolution and winding down of the affairs of all redevelopment agencies in California . In 2014 , the State Department of Finance approved the Long Ranch Property Management Plan ("Plan") for the Successor Agency, which Plan governs the disposal of property assets owned by the Successor Agency as set forth in the Redevelopment Dissolution Act. The Tres Hermanos Ranch is included in that Plan . Discussion: In approving the settlement agreement on February 5, 2019 , the Cities agreed that the Tres Hermanos Ranch serves an important environmental , educational , and recreational resource to the community and region . It was also determined that the most prudent method to protect these resources and the interests of the Cities was to transfer Tres Hermanos Cons ervation A uth o ri ty Staff Re port Tres Hermanos Purchase an d Sale Agreement Febru a ry 7 , 2019 Pa ge 3 ownership of the Tres Hermanos Ranch to the Conservation Authority , in which the Cities would have representation on a Board of Directors and a say in its future . Through the Conservation Authority, the planning and coordination for the long -term use of the Tres Hermanos Ranch will allow for a community-based approach to any proposed future uses consistent with the purpose of the Conservation Authority and the Deed Restriction , which limits the use of Tres Hermanos Ranch to open space , public use or preservation . As noted above , the settlement agreement provides in part for the following : • Industry will purchase Tres Hermanos Ranch from the Successor Agency, subject to the Deed Restriction , in the amount of $41 ,650 ,000 . • Indu stry will transfer Tres Hermanos Ranch to the Conservation Autho rity for the purchase price of $41 ,650 ,000. • Chino Hills and Diamond Bar will collectively deposit into escrow, 10 % of the Conservation Authority 's purchase price (Chino Hills , $2 ,959 ,967 and Diamond Bar, $1 ,205 ,033 ). At close of escrow Chino Hills ' and Diamond Bar's shares of the purchase will be transferred to Industry , which will be credited with the balance of the purchase price from its prior payment to the Successor Agency, as its contribution toward the Conservation Authority's acquisition . • The Tres Hermanos Ranch will be transferred to the Conservation Authority subject to the Deed Restriction . As is set forth in more detail in Resolution No . 2019-01 , for th e reason ably foreseeable future it is anticipate d that the Conservation Authority will maintain the Tres He rmanos Ranch in its current existing condition . The Conservation Authority does not have any e x isting or contemplated plans for any development of Tres Hermanos Ranch or addition to or subtraction from any current uses thereon . Th e re are no known existing entitlements which would allow further development or pending applications for development on Tre s Hermanos Ranch . As set forth in the JPA, any proposed future uses of Tre s Hermanos Ranch will be subject to the a pproval of th e Authority's Board of Directors and must be con sistent with the Deed Restriction , the purpose for which the Conservation Authority was formed , and the applicable land use regulations of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar. Pursuant to the JPA, the cost of providing the existing maintenance will be shared in equal 1/3 share s between the Citi es. Other than some erosion remediation work to the reservoir dam to be designed , performed and paid for by Industry , no additional maintenance or improvements are currently planned . The Tres Hermanos PSA, which is attached as Exhibit 1 to Resolution No . 2019-01 , provid e s for the Tres Hermanos Ranch to be transferred to the Authority in its as -is condition . The JPA has different voting requirements for the Board 's approval , depending Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority Staff Report Tres Hermanos Purchase and Sale Agreement February 7, 2019 Page4 on the action to be taken. These varying criteria were established in recognition of primarily two things: (1) Tres Hermanos Ranch lies within two different cities and counties; and (2) Industry's greater financial contribution toward the Authority's purchase price. Approval of the Tres Hermanos PSA requires at least four Director votes and of those four votes, at least one vote must be from a Director appointed by Chino Hills, one vote from a Director appointed by Diamond Bar and two votes from Directors appointed by Industry. Conservation Authority staff is recommending that Conservation Authority Deputy Executive Director, Diamond Bar City Manager Daniel Fox, be authorized to execute the Tres Hermanos PSA. Generally , staff would recommend that the Conservation Authority's Executive Director, Industry City Manager Troy Helling, be authorized to take such actions. However, because Mr. Helling will be executing the Tres Hermanos PSA on behalf of Industry, Conservation Authority staff is recommending Mr. Fox be authorized to take such action on behalf of the Conservation Authority to avoid any confusion and as a matter of checks and balances.

Resolution No. 2019-01 2 1383133.1 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Conservation Authority as follows: Section 1. Recitals. The Board of Directors finds the recitals set forth in this Resolution to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference. Section 2. Purchase and Sale Agreement/Joint Escrow Instructions. The Board of Directors approves that certain “Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (Tres Hermanos Ranch)”, a true and correct copy of which is attached to this Resolution as Exhibit “1” (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), and authorizes the Deputy Executive Director of the Conservation Authority to execute same and to execute such other documents and take such further actions as may be necessary that are consistent with, and may be necessary to make effective and implement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Section 3. Environmental Determination. A. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement the City of Industry will transfer the Tres Hermanos Ranch to the Conservation Authority subject to the Deed Restriction. B. The Tres Hermanos Ranch includes approximately 2,445 acres of land, approximately 1,750 acres of which are located within the jurisdiction of the City of Chino Hills ("Chino Hills") and approximately 695 acres of which are located within the jurisdiction of the City of Diamond Bar ("Diamond Bar"). Tres Hermanos Ranch is primarily open space, with ancillary uses such as the Arnold Reservoir, residences for caretakers and cattle grazing. For over 40 years, Tres Hermanos Ranch has been owned by either the City of Industry, the Industry Urban-Development Agency or the Industry Successor Agency. C. As set forth in the general plans of Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, Tres Hermanos Ranch consists of non-native grasslands used primarily for grazing and agriculture, a freshwater emergent wetland, Southern Willow Scrub, pockets of Coastal Sage Scrub, considered sensitive habitat by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Sycamore Alluvial Woodland and Coast Live Oak Woodland. In addition, the Chino Hills General Plan has identified the Western Pond Turtle as existing in proximity to the Arnold Reservoir and as a State species of concern. It also identifies several potential historical resources such as structures and/or artifacts associated with the Tres Hermanos Adobe, a multi-arch dam and the Arnold Reservoir. Although public access to Tres Hermanos Ranch has been limited, it is believed that Tres Hermanos Ranch is home to mule deer, mountain lions, bobcats and other animal and bird species native to this part of Southern California. D. The Tres Hermanos Ranch will be transferred to the Conservation Authority subject to the Deed Restriction. As set forth in the Tres Hermanos JPA, the general purpose of the Conservation Authority is to “… coordinate the overall conservation, use Resolution No. 2019-01 3 1383133.1 and potential improvement of the Ranch through collaboration by its Members….” As set forth more fully in the Tres Hermanos JPA, any proposed use of Tres Hermanos Ranch will require the approval of the Conservation Authority’s Board of Directors and must be consistent, as applicable, with the land use and zoning laws of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar, as well as the Deed Restriction. The Tres Hermanos JPA provides that the Conservation Authority will operate, repair and maintain Tres Hermanos Ranch and existing tangible property or facilities located thereon, in accordance with the Conservation Authority’s general purpose and the Deed Restriction. Administration of the Conservation Authority and funding therefore will be shared obligations of the Cities, which also comprise all the Members of the Conservation Authority. E. There are no proposed new uses, new improvements or major alterations contemplated on the Tres Hermanos Ranch for the foreseeable future. F. In considering this Resolution, the staff report, and all other documents, oral testimony and other evidence presented at the hearing on this Resolution, the Board of Directors finds that, consistent with the preceding discussion in this Resolution, the Board of Director’s adoption of this Resolution approving the Purchase and Sale Agreement is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for the following reasons. First, approval of this Resolution and the Purchase and Sale Agreement will result in (1) the transfer of ownership interests of Tres Hermanos Ranch to the Conversation Authority in order to preserve open space, habitat, or historical resources; (2) the acquisition, sale, and transfer of Tres Hermanos Ranch to preserve the existing natural conditions, including plant or animal habitats; and (3) the acquisition, sale, and transfer of Tres Hermanos to preserve open space or lands for park and/or recreational purposes, and as such, is categorically exempt from CEQA review pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15325. This finding is supported by the findings in this Resolution and specifically, the findings set forth in Section 3, subparagraphs A-D. Second, approval of this Resolution and the Purchase and Sale Agreement will result in the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, mechanical equipment or topographical features, with negligible or no expansion of the existing uses, which approval is categorically exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. This finding is supported by the findings in this Resolution and specifically the findings in Section 3, subparagraphs D and E herein. Based on the foregoing, the Board of Directors directs Staff to file a Notice of Exemption upon the adoption of this Resolution. Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage and adoption. Resolution No. 2019-01 4 1383133.1 PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 7th day of February, 2019.

SMRH:489195714.7 B-1 EXHIBIT B ESCROW HOLDER'S GENERAL PROVISIONS (See Four (4) Following Pages) Escrow General Provisions-REVISED JULY 22, 2014 Receipt of these provisions deems acceptance of the terms. Please read for general information about the escrow process. 1. SPECIAL DISCLOSURES: A. DEPOSIT OF FUNDS & DISBURSEMENTS Unless directed in writing to establish a separate, interest-bearing account together with all necessary taxpayer reporting information, all funds shall be deposited in general escrow accounts in a federally insured financial institution including those affiliated with Escrow Holder (“depositories”). All disbursements shall be made by Escrow Holder’s check or by wire transfer unless otherwise instructed in writing. The Good Funds Law (California Insurance Code 12413.1) mandates that Escrow Holder may not disburse funds until the funds are, in fact, available in Escrow Holder’s account. Wire transfers are immediately disbursable upon confirmation of receipt. Funds deposited by a cashier’s or certified check are generally available on the next banking day following deposit. Funds deposited by a personal check and other types of instruments may not be available until confirmation from Escrow Holder’s bank which can vary from 2 to 10 days. B. DISCLOSURE OF POSSIBLE BENEFITS TO ESCROW HOLDER As a result of Escrow Holder maintaining its general escrow accounts with the depositories, Escrow Holder may receive certain financial benefits such as an array of bank services, accommodations, loans or other business transactions from the depositories (“collateral benefits”). All collateral benefits shall accrue to the sole benefit of Escrow Holder and Escrow Holder shall have no obligation to account to the parties to this escrow for the value of any such collateral benefits. C. MISCELLANEOUS FEES Escrow Holder may incur certain additional costs on behalf of the parties for services performed, or fees charged, by third parties. The fees charged by Escrow Holder for services including, but not limited to, wire transfers, overnight delivery/courier services, etc. may include a mark up over the direct cost of such services to reflect the averaging of direct, administrative and overhead charges of Escrow Holder for such services which shall, in no event, exceed $10 for each markup. D. METHOD TO DELIVER PAYOFF TO LENDERS/LIENHOLDERS To minimize the amount of interest due on any existing loan or lien, Escrow Holder will deliver the payoff funds to the lender/lienholder as soon as Escrow Holder is able after confirmation of recordation/close of escrow and as demanded by the lender/lienholder using (a) personal delivery, (b) wire transfer, or (c) overnight delivery service, unless otherwise directed in writing by the affected party. Certain payments such as home equity line of credit payoffs (“HELOCS”) may require additional time to process. 2. “CLOSE OF ESCROW”/PRORATIONS & ADJUSTMENTS The term "close of escrow" means the date on which documents are recorded. All prorations and/or adjustments shall be made to the close of escrow based on the number of actual days, unless otherwise instructed in writing. 3. CONTINGENCY PERIODS Escrow Holder shall not be responsible for monitoring contingency time periods between the parties. The parties shall execute such documents as may be requested by Escrow Holder to confirm the status of any such periods. 4. REPORTS a. Preliminary Report -Escrow Holder has neither responsibility nor liability for any title search that may be performed in connection with the issuance of a preliminary report. b. Other Reports-As an accommodation, Escrow Holder may agree to transmit orders for inspection, termite, disclosure and other reports if requested, in writing or orally, by the parties or their agents. Escrow Holder shall deliver copies of any such reports as directed. Escrow Holder is not responsible for reviewing such reports or advising the parties of the content of same. 5. INFORMATION FROM AFFILIATED COMPANIES Escrow Holder may provide the parties’ information to and from its affiliates in connection with the offering of products and services from these affiliates.

RECORDATION OF DOCUMENTS Escrow Holder is authorized to record documents delivered through escrow which are necessary or proper for the issuance of the requested title insurance policy(ies). Buyer will provide a completed Preliminary Change of Ownership Report form (“PCOR”). If Buyer fails to provide the PCOR, Escrow Holder shall close escrow and charge Buyer any additional fee incurred for recording the documents without the PCOR. Escrow Holder is released from any liability in connection with same. 7. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES No examination, UCC search, insurance as to personal property and/or the payment of personal property taxes is required unless otherwise instructed in writing. 8. REAL PROPERTY TAXES Real property taxes are prorated based on the most current available tax statement from the tax collector’s office. Supplemental taxes may be assessed as a result of a change in ownership or completion of construction. Adjustments due either party based on the actual new tax bill issued after close of escrow or a supplemental tax bill will be made by the parties outside of escrow and Escrow Holder is released of any liability in connection with such adjustments. The first installment of California real property taxes is due November 1st (delinquent December 10th) and the second installment is due February 1st (delinquent April 10th). If a tax bill is not received from the County at least 30 days prior to the due date, buyer should contact the County Tax Collector’s office and request one. Escrow Holder is not responsible for same. 9. CANCELLATION OF ESCROW a. Any party desiring to cancel this escrow shall deliver written notice of cancellation to Escrow Holder. Within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, Escrow Holder shall send by regular mail to the address on the escrow instructions, one copy of said notice to the other party(ies). Unless written objection to cancellation is delivered to Escrow Holder by a party within 10 days after date of mailing, Escrow Holder is authorized, at its option, to comply with the notice and terminate the escrow. If a written objection is received by Escrow Holder, Escrow Holder is authorized, at its option, to hold all funds and documents in escrow (subject to the Funds Held in Escrow fee) and to take no other action until otherwise directed by either the parties' mutual written instructions or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. If no action is taken on this escrow within 6 months after the closing date specified in the escrow instructions, Escrow Holder’s obligations shall, at its option, terminate. Upon termination of this escrow, the parties shall pay all fees, charges and reimbursements due to Escrow Holder and all documents and remaining funds held in escrow shall be returned to the parties depositing same. b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of notice of cancellation by a seller in a transaction subject to the Home Equity Sales Contract law (CC §1695 et seq.), Escrow Holder shall have the right to unilaterally cancel the escrow and may return all documents and funds without consent by or notice to the buyer. 10. CONFLICTING INSTRUCTIONS & DISPUTES If Escrow Holder becomes aware of any conflicting demands or claims concerning this escrow, Escrow Holder shall have the right to discontinue all further acts on Escrow Holder’s part until the conflict is resolved to Escrow Holder’s satisfaction. Escrow Holder has the right at its option to file an action in interpleader requiring the parties to litigate their claims/rights. If such an action is filed, the parties jointly and severally agree (a) to pay Escrow Holder’s cancellation charges, costs (including the Funds Held in Escrow fee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (b) that Escrow Holder is fully released and discharged from all further obligations under the escrow. If an action is brought involving this escrow and/or Escrow Holder, the party(ies) involved in the action agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Holder harmless against liabilities, damages and costs incurred by Escrow Holder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) except to the extent that such liabilities, damages and costs were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Holder. 11. FUNDS HELD IN ESCROW When funds remain in escrow over 90 days after either close of escrow or estimated close of escrow, a monthly holding fee of $25 shall be imposed by Escrow Holder that is to be charged against the funds held. 12. USURY Escrow Holder is not to be concerned with usury as to any loans or encumbrances in this escrow and is hereby released of any responsibility and/or liability therefore.

Escrow Holder may, at its sole option, elect to accept and act upon oral instructions from the parties. If requested by Escrow Holder the parties agree to confirm said instructions in writing as soon as practicable. The escrow instructions as amended shall constitute the entire escrow agreement between the Escrow Holder and the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of the escrow. 14. FIRE, HAZARD OR LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICIES In all matters relating to fire, hazard or liability insurance, Escrow Holder may assume that each policy is in force and that the necessary premium has been paid.

COPIES OF DOCUMENTS; ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES; AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE Escrow Holder is authorized to rely upon copies of documents, which include facsimile, electronic, NCR, or photocopies as if they were an originally executed document.

EXECUTION IN COUNTERPART The escrow instructions and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute the same instruction. 17. TAX REPORTING, WITHHOLDING & DISCLOSURE The parties are advised to seek independent advice concerning the tax consequences of this transaction, including but not limited to, their withholding, reporting and disclosure obligations.

SMRH:489195714.7 D-6 6.4 Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542. With respect to the Released Claims, each Party specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." Each Party has been advised by its attorneys of the meaning of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and of the implications of waiving the benefits thereof. The Parties agree that this waiver is an essential part of this Agreement, which would not have been entered into without such provision. 7. Covenant Not to Sue. Each Party agrees not to sue any other Party, or in any way assist any other person or entity in suing any other Party, with respect to any Released Claim. This Agreement may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to, and may be used as the basis for an injunction against any dispute, suit, or other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of any such Released Claim. 8. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Parties represents, warrants and agrees as to itself as follows: 8.1 Such Party has received independent legal advice from its attorneys with respect to the advisability of making the settlement provided for herein, and with respect to the advisability of executing the Settlement Documents, and it is entering into this Agreement of its own informed and free will and based upon its own judgment. 8.2 Neither such Party nor any official, agent, employee, representative or attorney of or for it has made any statement or representation to any other Party regarding any fact relied upon in entering into the Settlement Documents, and it is not relying upon any statement, representation or warranty or promise, written or oral, of any other Party (or of any officer, agent, employee, representative, trustee or attorney for any other Party) in executing the Settlement Documents, or in making the settlement provided for herein, except as expressly stated in the Settlement Documents. 8.3 Such Party has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this settlement and the Settlement Documents and of all the matters pertaining thereto as it deems necessary and it has executed the Settlement Documents without fraud, duress or undue influence. 8.4 Such Party or its responsible officer has carefully read and considered the Settlement Documents and understands the contents hereof and the significance of its contents. SMRH:489195714.7 D-7 8.5 This Agreement has been duly approved, executed and delivered by, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of, such Party, and that the individual executing this Agreement on behalf of such Party has the authority to do so and bind such Party. 8.6 Each as otherwise expressly represented, warranted or provided in the Settlement Documents, such Party assumes the risks (a) that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or contrary to those it believed to exist or relied upon in entering into the Settlement Documents, (b) that it may have mistakenly understood matters relevant to entering into the Settlement Documents and (c) that another Party may have negligently misrepresented or negligently failed to disclose facts in connection with the entering into of the Settlement Documents. Notwithstanding any such claims of misunderstanding, mistake, negligent misrepresentation or negligent nondisclosure, such Party intends that the Settlement Documents thereafter shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be subject to rejection or rescission for any reason, provided that such Party reserves all rights provided for in the Settlement Documents. 8.7 Such Party has not heretofore assigned, transferred, or granted, or purported to assign, transfer, or grant, any of the Released Claims or any part thereof. 8.8 Each term of this Agreement (other than Recitals A through F, above) is contractual and not merely a recital and each of Recitals A through F, above, is true and correct. 8.9 Such Party is aware that it may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the matters related herein. Nevertheless, it is the intention of such Party to fully, finally and forever settle and release all such matters, and all claims relative thereto, which do now exist, may exist, or heretofore have existed between them. In furtherance of such intention, the releases given herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete mutual releases of all such matters, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any additional or different claims or facts relative thereto. 8.10 The consideration recited herein is the only consideration for entering into this Agreement and that no promises or representations of other or further consideration have been made by any person or entity. 9. No Admissions. Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement effects the settlement of claims that are denied and contested by one or more other Parties, and that nothing contained herein can be construed as an admission of liability by or on behalf of any Party, all of which liability is expressly denied. 10. Own Counsel. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice throughout all of the negotiations that preceded the execution of this Agreement and in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement. 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Entire Agreement.

Amendment.

Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective officers, elected and appointed officials, agents, employees, representatives, administrators, attorneys, assigns and successors in interest. 17. Severability. In the event any covenant, condition, or other provision herein is held to be invalid, void, or illegal, the same is deemed severed from the remainder of this Agreement and will not affect, impair or invalidate any other covenant, condition, or other provision herein unless a court finds that the stricken provision(s) were integral to this Agreement and that it would be unfair to enforce the balance of the Agreement. If any covenant, condition, or other provision herein is held to be invalid due to its scope or breadth, such covenant, condition, or other provision shall be deemed valid to the extent of the scope or breadth permitted by law. 18. Arm's Length Negotiations. This Agreement has been negotiated at arms' length between persons knowledgeable in the matters dealt with herein. In addition, each of the Parties has been represented by independent legal counsel of its own choice. Accordingly, any rules of law, including, without limitation, Section 1654 of the California Civil Code, or any other statute, legal decision, or common law principle of similar effect, that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it, is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intentions of the Parties and of this Agreement. 19. Governing Law/Venue. This Agreement is made and entered into in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California. The Parties agree that all legal actions (including, without limitation, proceedings at law or in equity) arising out of this Agreement, shall be commenced and maintained only in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, in any other appropriate court in Los SMRH:489195714.7 D-9 Angeles County, California, or in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Each Party hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any and all such courts and further agree that venue shall be proper only in such courts. 20. Mistake. Each Party has investigated the facts pertaining to the Settlement Documents to the extent such Party deems necessary. In entering into the Settlement Documents, each Party assumes the risk of mistake with respect to such facts. The Settlement Documents are intended to be final and binding upon the Parties regardless of any claim of mistake. 21. No Waiver. No provision herein may be waived unless in writing and signed by the Party or Parties whose rights are thereby waived. Waiver of any one provision herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision herein. 22. Construction. This Agreement has been reviewed by the Parties, and by their respective attorneys, and the Parties have had a full opportunity to negotiate their contents. The Parties agree that the language in all parts of the Settlement Documents shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning. 23. No Third Parties Benefited. Nothing in this Agreement or the Covenant Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person or entity, other than the Parties or their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights or benefits under or by reason of this Agreement or the Covenant Agreement. 24. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any litigation shall be commenced concerning this Agreement or any Party's performance under this Agreement, the court, in its discretion, may award to the prevailing Party in such litigation, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, that Party's reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and court costs, whether or not taxable, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. 25.
