EXPLANATION
Mrs. Madeline Heinrich, resident of 1011 "R" Avenue, has requested a blue curb
disabled persons parking space in front of her residence. The resident possesses a
valid disabled persons placard from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Mrs.
Heinrich's daughter, Mrs. Regena Heinrich, stated that it is difficult for her to find parking
in front of her property due to the high demand of parking in the area and that a
disabled persons parking space in front of her house would provide easier access to the
house for her mother.
Staff visited the site and observed that Mrs. Heinrich's residence has a driveway and
garage. With her permission and supervision, staff measured the driveway and the
garage. The driveway is 30 feet long by 14 feet wide with a slope of approximately 4%.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope be 2% or less to
accommodate a vehicle with a disabled driver or passenger.
The garage is 18 feet long by 8 feet wide with a negligible slope. The minimum
dimension for a garage or driveway to accommodate a vehicle with a disabled driver or
passenger is 20 feet long by 12 feet wide.
The City Council has adopted a policy which is used to evaluate requests for disabled
persons parking spaces. The City Council Disabled Persons Parking Policy
requirements for "Special Hardship" cases are as follows:
1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates or placard
for "disabled persons" or "disabled veterans". This condition is met,
2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front (or side if on a corner lot)
of the applicant's (or guardian's) place of residence. This condition is met.
3. The residence must not have useable off-street parking available or an off-street
space available that may be converted into disabled parking. This condition is
met, since the slope of the applicant's driveway is greater than 2%, which does
not meet ADA standards, and the garage does not meet the minimum
dimensions to park a disabled driver's vehicle.
This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee on August 21, 2019. No one
was in attendance to speak in support of the blue curb disabled persons parking space.
Staff presented the results of the site evaluation and after discussion, the Traffic Safety
Committee voted to approve staff's recommendation to install a blue curb disabled
persons parking space with sign, since all three conditions of the City Council Disabled
Persons Parking Policy for "Special Hardship" cases are met.
The applicant was informed that handicap parking spaces do not constitute "personal
reserved parking" and that any person with valid "disabled persons" license plates or
placards may park in handicap spaces.
If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works

REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF A BLUE CURB DISABLED
PERSONS PARKING SPACE WITH SIGNAGE IN FRONT OF THE
RESIDENCE AT 1011 R AVENUE
PREPARED BY: Carla Hutchinson, Assistant Engineer — Civil
Engineering & Public Works Department
DISCUSSION:
Mrs. Madeline Heinrich, resident of 1011 R Avenue, has requested a blue curb disabled
persons parking space in front of her residence. The resident possesses a valid disabled
persons placard from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Mrs. Heinrich's daughter,
Mrs. Regena Heinrich stated that it is difficult for her to find parking in front of her property
due to the high demand of parking in the area and that a disabled persons parking space in
front of her house would provide easier access to the house for her mother.
Staff visited the site and observed that Mrs. Heinrich's residence has a driveway and garage.
With her permission and supervision, staff measured the driveway and the garage. The
driveway is 30 feet long by 14 feet wide with a slope of approximately 4%. In order to
accommodate a vehicle with a disabled driver or passenger, the slope must be 2% or less.
The garage is 18 feet long by 8 feet wide with a negligible slope. The minimum dimension
for a garage or driveway to accommodate a vehicle with a disabled driver or passenger is 20
feet long by 12 feet wide. These two conditions are not met since the dimension of the garage
and slope of driveway do not meet the minimum parking requirements for disabled persons.
The City Council has adopted a policy which is used to evaluate requests for disabled
persons parking spaces. The City Council Disabled Persons Parking Policy requirements for
"Special Hardship" cases are as follows:
1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates or placard for
"disabled persons" or "disabled veterans". This condition is met.
2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front (or side if on a corner lot) of
the applicant's (or guardian's) place of residence. This condition is met.
3. The residence must not have useable off-street parking available or an off-street
space available that may be converted into disabled parking. This condition is met.
It shall be noted that disabled persons parking spaces do not constitute "personal reserved
parking" and that any person with valid "disabled persons" license plates or placards may
park in handicap spaces.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Since all three conditions of the City Council Disabled Persons Parking Policy for "Special
Hardship" cases are met, staff recommends the installation of a blue curb disabled persons
parking space with signage in front of the residence at 1011 R Avenue.

DISABLED PERSONS PARKING POLICY
The purpose of a disabled persons parking zone is to provide designated parking spaces at
major points of assembly for the exclusive use of physically disabled persons whose
vehicle displays a distinguishing license plate as authorized by the California Department
of Motor Vehicles.
The City Council may upon recommendation of the City Engineer, designate specially
marked and posted on -street parking spaces for disabled persons pursuant to California
Vehicle Code 21101, et seq. at the following facilities:
1. Government buildings serving the public such as administration buildings,
public employment offices, public libraries, police stations, etc.
2. Hospitals and convalescent homes with more than 75-bed capacity.
3. Medical facilities and doctors' offices staffed by a maximum of five
practitioners. Zones shall be located to serve a maximum number of
facilities on one block.
Community service facilities such as senior citizens service centers, etc.
5. Accredited vocational training and educational facilities where no off-
street parking is provided for disabled persons.
6. Employment offices for major enterprises employing more. than 200
persons.
Public recreational facilities including municipal swimming pools,
recreation halls, museums, etc.
Public theaters, auditoriums, meeting halls, arenas, stadiums with more
than 300 seating capacity.
9. Other places of assembly such as schools and churches.
10. Commercial and/or office building(s) with an aggregate of more than
50,000 square feet of usable floor space. Zone shall be located to serve a
maximum number of facilities on one block.
11. Hotels catering to daily guests, maintaining a ground floor lobby and a
switchboard that is operated 24 hours per day.
46 of 216
12. A hotel or apartment house catering to weekly or monthly guests and
containing more than 30 separate living units.
In addition, disabled persons parking spaces may be provided within all publicly owned,
leased or controlled off-street parking facilities as specified in the General Requirements.
General Requirements
Each disabled persons parking space shall be indicated by blue paint and a sign
(white on blue) showing the international symbol of accessibility (a profile view of a
wheelchair with occupant).
Where installed under the above criteria the total number of disabled persons curb
parking spaces will be limited to 3% of the total number of on -street parking spaces
available in the area and shall be distributed uniformly within the area.
Disabled persons parking will not be installed at locations with a full-time parking
prohibition. When a disabled persons parking zone is installed where a part-time parking
prohibition is in effect, the disabled persons parking zone will have the same time
restrictions as the part-time parking prohibition.
The cost of installing disabled persons parking will be assumed by the City on
public streets and public off-street parking facilities.
In establishing on -street parking facilities for the disabled there shall be a
reasonable determination made that the need is of an on -going nature. The intent is to
prevent the proliferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short-term
purpose but later are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls
unnecessarily increases the City's maintenance and operations costs, reduce available on -
street parking for the general public, and detract from the overall effectiveness of the
disabled persons parking program.
Snecial Hardship Cases
It is not the intention of the City to provide personal reserved parking on the
public right jof way, especially in residential areas. However, exceptions may be made,
in special hardship cases, provided all of the following conditions exists:
(1)
(2)
Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates for
"disabled persons" or "disabled veterans."
The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the applicant's
(or guardian's) place of residence.
47 of 216
(3)
Subject residence must not have useable off-street parking available or
off-street space available that may be converted into disabled parking.
NOTE:It must be emphasized that such parking spaces do not constitute "personal
reserved parking" and that any person with valid "disabled persons" License plates may
park in the above stalls.

DEPARTMENT: Library
APPROVED BY:
The CLLS grant is designed to support the Library's literacy services program to English-speakinIts who
seek to improve their reading, writing, math, and computer skills. In determining the amount of funding to the
libraries that provide literacy services to their communities, the California State Library uses a funding formula that
consist of three parts:
1. A baseline amount $18,000 to provide a minimum level of local literacy staffing and services;
2. A per capita amount per adult learner served in the previous year; and
3. A match on local funds earmarked for adult literacy services. This local match is fulfilled by a CDBG grant
awarded to the Library by the City Council on May 7, 2019 in the amount of $50,610 to defray the
personnel costs of the Literacy Coordinator who oversees the operation of the literacy program.
The CLLS grant is awarded in two payments each year. This award of $18,000 is the baseline amount for the
program. The second payment, calculated by applying the other two parts of the formula (per capita and match)
will be sent once the final report on the previous year is submitted and reviewed by the State Library.

Explanation
The project includes traffic calming and pedestrian and bicycle enhancements on 30th
Street between "D" Avenue and N. 2nd Avenue, connecting existing pedestrian and
bicycle facilities near Sweetwater High School to the regional Sweetwater River Bike
Path off N. 2nd Avenue. Improvements include street resurfacing, ADA upgrades,
approximately 1 mile of Class II bike lanes with signage, traffic signal modifications at
Highland Avenue and E. 30th Street, concrete pads at bus stops, and gateway
enhancements at both entrances to the Sweetwater River Bike Path (located at W. 33rd
Street and N. 2nd Avenue, respectively).
On October 22, 2015, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded the
City of National City (City) a $1,129,000 Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for
the Sweetwater River Bikeway Connections Project (Project). At their meeting on
December 7, 2016, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated $25,000
for the Project Approval/Environmental Document (PAED) phase.
On February 21, 2017, per City Council Resolution No. 2017-19, City Council executed
Program Supplement Agreement No. P036 with Caltrans for the Project to allow for
reimbursement of eligible project expenditures through the State ATP.
At their meeting on June 29, 2017, the CTC allocated $165,000 for the Preliminary
Engineering (PS&E) phase, which includes preparation of construction plans,
specifications and estimates.
On October 17, 2017, per City Council Resolution No. 2017-195, City Council authorized
the establishment of an Engineering Grants Fund appropriation in the amount of $165,000
and a corresponding revenue budget to allow staff to proceed with preliminary
engineering for the Project, which will be reimbursed by the State ATP grant.
On August 13, 2019, the bid solicitation was posted on PlanetBids, a free public electronic
bidding system for contractors. On August 15, 2019 and August 20, 2019, the bid
solicitation was advertised in local newspapers.
On September 3, 2019, six (6) bids were received by the 11:00 a.m. deadline. Bid results
were immediately available for viewing on PlanetBids. Blue Pacific Engineering &
Construction was the apparent lowest bidder with a total bid amount of $957,028.89. Upon
review of all documents submitted, Blue Pacific Engineering & Construction's bid was
deemed responsive, and they are the lowest responsible bidder qualified to perform the
work as described in the project specifications.
Therefore, staff recommends awarding a contract to Blue Pacific Engineering &
Construction in the not -to -exceed amount of $957,028.89. Staff is requesting City Council
authorization to establish an Engineering Grants Fund appropriation of $889,000 and
corresponding revenue budget to partially fund project construction. The remaining
contract award will be funded through prior City Council Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) TransNet appropriations in the amount of $68,028.89 for Traffic Signal Upgrades.
110 of 216
Staff also recommends authorizing a 15% contingency in the amount of $143,554.33 to
address any unforeseen conditions that may arise. Staff estimates funding the
contingency through prior City Council CIP General Fund appropriations for
Transportation Improvements.
Attached are the bid opening summary sheet and a line item summary of the three lowest
bidders for reference. Also attached is the Owner -Contractor Agreement.
Construction is estimated to be completed by Summer 2020. Updates will be provided
on the City's CIP website at: nationalcityprojects.com.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

AGENDA ITEM NO.:
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City approving an amendment to City Council
Policy # 201, "Maintenance of Reserves," to establish an irrevocable Other Post -Employment Benefits
(OPEB) trust reserve.
PREPARED BY: Mark Roberts, Director of Finance DEPARTMENT: Finance�A�
PHONE: 619-336-4330 APPROVED BY: `vU/Q ,ea
EXPLANATION:
At the Special Meeting of the City Council on April 24, 2019, the City Council approved the assignment of $3.1
million of General Fund fund balance to establish an other post -employment benefits (OPEB) trust.
Establishment of this trust addresses Strategic Plan Objective 2, "Achieve Fiscal Sustainability" and, more
specifically, Objective 2b, "Address long-term pension liability and other post -employment benefits (OPEB)." In
addition, it will allow the assets set aside for these benefits to be invested using a strategy expected to yield
higher returns than they are currently earning as surplus funds, due to investment limitations imposed upon
surplus funds by California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. and City Council Policy #203, "Investments."
Investment in a portfolio expected to yield higher returns will reduce the City's total net OPEB liability by allowing
the discount rate applied to the OPEB assets to be increased.
With this item, staff recommends amendment of City Council Policy # 201, "Maintenance of Reserves," to add
"Irrevocable Other Post -Employment Benefits Trust Reserve" to the City's reserves and establish a target level for
the trust of an amount equal to the total net liability of the City's OPEB plans.

employees are employees of the CITY, and are not entitled to any of the rights, benefits, or
privileges of the CITY'S employees, including but not limited to retirement, medical, unemploy-
ment, or workers' compensation insurance.
This Agreement contemplates the personal services of the CONSULTANT and
the CONSULTANT'S employees, and it is recognized by the parties that a substantial
inducement to the CITY for entering into this Agreement was, and is, the professional reputation
and competence of the CONSULTANT and its employees. Neither this Agreement nor any
interest herein may be assigned by the CONSULTANT without the prior written consent of the
CITY. Nothing herein contained is intended to prevent the CONSULTANT from employing or
hiring as many employees, or subconsultants, as the CONSULTANT may deem necessary for
the proper and efficient performance of this Agreement. All agreements by the CONSULTANT
with its subconsultant(s) shall require the subconsultant(s) to adhere to the applicable terms of
this Agreement.

any control over the conduct of the CONSULTANT or any of the CONSULTANT'S employees,

necessary to protect the CONSULTANT'S employees and members of the public from risk of

treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success of the project the

when no time is specified, then within a commercially reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the
CONSULTANT has notified the CITY otherwise, the CONSULTANT warrants that all
products, materials, processes or treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the
CITY are reasonably commercially available. Any failure by the CONSULTANT to use due
diligence under this sub -section will render the CONSULTANT liable to the CITY for any
increased costs that result from the CITY'S later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time frame
specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
14. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONSULTANT shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age, race, color,
ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. The CONSULTANT will take positive action to insure that applicants are
employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or medical condition. Such action shall include
but not be limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or
recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and

economies of scale and efficiency of administration to public agencies that adopt

Obligation or both. The Trust is divided into Agency Accounts to hold the Assets
of each Employer as described in Section 2.4.
2.2 Purpose
The Trust is established with the intention that it qualify as a tax-exempt trust
performing an essential governmental function within the meaning of Section 115
of the Code and any regulations issued thereunder and as a tax-exempt trust under
the provisions of the relevant state's statutory provisions of each Employer. This
Trust Agreement shall be construed and the Trust shall be administered in a
manner consistent with such intention. The fundamental purpose of the Trust is to
fund the Employer's OPEB Obligation or Pension Obligation or both. It is
intended that adopting Employers retain an interest in the underlying securities
held in the Trust on their behalf, rather than in the Trust itself.
The Employer hereby represents and warrants that the assets held hereunder
(including the Assets) are not assets of any qualified plan under Code Section
401(a), regardless of the character of such assets once distributed. The Employer
hereby acknowledges that the Trust does not constitute a qualified trust under
Code Section 401(a).
2.3 Employers
Any public agency may, by action of its governing body in writing accepted by
the Trustee, adopt the provisions of the Trust Agreement. Executing an adoption
instrument for the Trust ("Adoption Agreement"), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" (or such other form as may be approved by the Trustee), shall
Page 3 of 25
185 of 216
constitute such adoption, unless the Trustee requires additional evidence of
adoption. In order for such adoption to be effective, the public agency must also
execute an Agreement for Administrative Services with Public Agency
Retirement Services, the Trust Administrator, pursuant to Section 3.6 of this Trust
Agreement. Such adopting Employer shall then become an Employer of the
Trust.
Each such Employer shall, at a minimum, furnish the Trust Administrator with the
following documents to support its adoption of the Trust:
(a) a certified copy of the resolution(s) of the governing body of the Employer
authorizing the adoption of the Trust Agreement and the appointment of the Plan
Administrator for such Employer;
(b) an original of the Adoption Agreement executed by the Plan Administrator
or other duly authorized Employer employee;
(c) an original of the Agreement for Administrative Services with Public
Agency Retirement Services executed by the Plan Administrator or other duly
authorized Employer employee and Public Agency Retirement Services;
(d) an address notice; and
(e) such other documents as the Trustee may reasonably request.
{f) Any action taken by the Plan Administrator for an Employer shall be
deemed to have been taken by such Employer. Any notice given to or delivered
by the Plan Administrator for an Employer shall be deemed to have been given to
or delivered by such Employer.
2.4 Agency Accounts
(a) Upon an Employer's adopting the Trust Agreement, as provided in
Section 2.3, a separate "Agency Account" shall be established under the Trust for
that Employer, and all Assets of the Trust attributable to that Employer shall be
held in that Employer's Agency Account.
(b) An Employer's Agency Account comprises three subaccounts: a "Pension
Account", an "OPEB Account", and a "Suspense Account". The Assets of the
Trust that are held in the Employer's Pension Account will be available only to
fund the Employer's Pension Obligation and defray the reasonable expenses
associated with the same. The Assets of the Trust that are held in the Employer's
OPEB Account will be available only to fund the Employer's OPEB Obligation
and defray the reasonable expenses associated with the same.
(c) The Assets of the Trust that are held in an Employer's Agency Account
shall not be available to pay any obligations incurred by any other Employer as
provided in Section 2.8.
Page 4 of 25
186 of 216
(d) All contributions and transfers received by the Trust on behalf of the
Employer will be held in the Employer's Agency Account and will be allocated to
the subaccounts under the Agency Account as follows:
(1) If the Employer maintains a Pension Account or OPEB Account
(and not both a Pension Account and an OPEB Account), all contributions
and transfers received by the Trust on the Employer's behalf will be
allocated to that subaccount.
(2) If the Employer maintains both a Pension Account and an OPEB
Account, contributions and transfers received by the Trust on the
Employer's behalf will be allocated to either the Pension Account or
OPEB Account, as directed by the Plan Administrator. To the extent the
Plan Administrator does not provide such direction, the Employer hereby
directs the Trustee to allocate such contributions and transfers to the
Suspense Account and to use the assets of the Suspense Account to
purchase a position in the sweep vehicle identified on an exhibit hereto or,
if none is identified, to hold such assets un-invested. The Plan
Administrator may at any time direct the reallocation of cash from the
Suspense Account to either the Pension Account or the OPEB Account.
(3) Once allocated to the Pension Account or the OPEB Account,
amounts under the Trust may not subsequently be transferred to the other
subaccount.
2.5 Assets of Agency Account
The assets held in an Agency Account shall consist of all contributions and
transfers received by the Trust on behalf of the Employer, together with the
income and earnings from such contributions and transfers, and any increments
accruing to the Agency Account, net of any investment losses, benefits, expenses
or other costs ("Assets"). All contributions or transfers shall be received by the
Trustee in cash or in other property acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee shall
manage and administer the Assets held in Agency Accounts without distinction
between principal and income. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
have no duty to compute any amount to be transferred or paid to the Agency
Account by the Employer, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not
be responsible for the collection of any contributions or transfers to the Agency
Account.
2.6 Aggregate Balance for Investment and Administration
The balances of the Assets of more than one Agency Account may be aggregated
by the Trustee in one or more Omnibus Accounts for investment and
administrative purposes, to provide economies of scale and efficiency of
administration to the Agency Accounts. The responsibility for Agency Account
level accounting (including subaccount-level accounting within each Agency
Account) within this Omnibus Account(s) shall be that of the Trust Administrator.
Page 5 of 25
187 of 216
2.7 Trustee Accounting
The Trustee shall be responsible only for maintaining records and maintaining
accounts for the aggregate assets of the Trust. The responsibility for accounting
and subaccounting for each Agency Account, based upon the Omnibus
Account(s), shall be that of the Trust Administrator.
2.8 No Diversion of Assets
The Assets in each Employer's Agency Account shall be held in trust for the
exclusive purpose of funding the Employer's OPEB Obligation or Pension
Obligation or both and defraying the reasonable expenses associated with the
same. The Assets in each Agency Account shall not be used for or diverted to,
any other purpose, including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of any other
Employer's Pension Obligation or OPEB Obligation.
2.9 Type and Nature of Trust
Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of each Employer is pledged
to the distribution of amounts hereunder. Except for contributions and other
amounts hereunder, no other amounts are pledged to the distribution of benefits
hereunder. Distributions of benefits are neither general nor special obligations of
any Employer, but are payable solely from the Assets held in such Employer's
Agency Account, as more fully described herein. No employee of any Employer
or beneficiary may compel the exercise of the taxing power by any Employer.
Distributions of Assets from any Agency Account are not debts of any Employer
within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or restriction.
Such distributions are not legal or equitable pledges, charges, liens or
encumbrances, upon any of an Employer's property, or upon any of its income,
receipts, or revenues, except amounts in the accounts which are, under the terms
of each Plan and the Trust set aside for distributions. Neither the members of the
governing body of any Employer nor its officers, employees, agents or volunteers
are liable hereunder.
2.10 Loss of Tax -Exempt Status as to Any Employer
If any Employer participating in the Trust receives notice from the Internal
Revenue Service that the Trust as to such Employer fails to satisfy the
requirements of Section 115 of the Code, or if any Employer consents to the
Internal Revenue Service's determination that the Trust fails to meet such
requirements, Assets having a value equal to the funds then held in such
Employer's Agency Account shall be segregated and placed in a separate trust by
the Trustee for the exclusive benefit of such Employer's Eligible Employees
within a reasonable time after the Trust Administrator notifies the Trustee of the
Internal Revenue Service's determination. Each Employer participating in the
Trust agrees to immediately notify the Trust Administrator upon receiving such
Page 6 of 25
188 of 216
notice or giving such consent. The separate trust provided for in this Section 2.10
shall thereafter be considered as a separate trust containing all of the provisions of
this Trust Agreement until terminated as provided in this Trust Agreement.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions), respectively, in each case as reasonably determined by the Employer
and certified in writing by the Employer to the Trust Administrator. The
Employer shall appoint a trustee for such Employer's separate trust and, upon the
trustee's acceptance of that appointment, the trustee will be vested with title to the
transferred Assets.
3.4 The Plan Administrator
The governing body of each Employer shall have plenary authority for the
administration and investment of such Employer's Agency Account pursuant to
any applicable state laws and applicable federal laws and regulations. Each
Employer shall by resolution designate a Plan Administrator. Unless otherwise
specified in the instrument the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to have
authority to act on behalf of the Employer in all matters pertaining to the
Employer's participation in the Trust and in regard to the Agency Account of the
Employer. Such appointment of a P1an Administrator shall be effective upon
receipt and acknowledgment by the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and shall
be effective until the Trustee and the Trust Administrator are furnished with a
resolution of the Employer that the appointment has been modified or terminated.
3.5 Failure to Appoint Plan Administrator
If a Plan Administrator is not appointed, or such appointment lapses, the
Employer shall be deemed to be the Plan Administrator. As used in this
document the term "Plan Administrator" shall be deemed to mean "Employer"
when a P1an Administrator has not been appointed for such Employer.
3.6 Delegatee
The Plan Administrator, acting on behalf of the Employer, may delegate certain
authority, powers and duties to a Delegatee to act in those matters specified in the
delegation. Any such delegation must be in a writing that names and identifies
the Delegatee, states the effective date of the delegation, specifies the authority
and duties delegated, is executed by the Plan Administrator, is acknowledged in
writing by the Delegatee, and is certified as required in Section 3.7 to the Trust
Administrator. Such delegation shall be effective until the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator are directed in writing by the Plan Administrator that the delegation
has been rescinded or modified.
Page 8 of 25

3.7 Certification to Trustee
The governing body of each Employer, or other duly authorized official, shall
certify in writing to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator the names and
specimen signatures of the Plan Administrator and Delegatee, if any, and all
others authorized to act on behalf of the Employer whose names and specimen
signatures shall be kept accurate by the Employer acting through a duly
authorized officer or governing body of the Employer. The Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall have no liability if they act upon the direction of a Plan
Administrator or Delegatee that has been duly authorized, as provided in Section
3.6, if that Plan Administrator or Delegatee is no longer authorized to act, unless
the Employer has informed the Trustee and the Trust Administrator of such
change.
3.8 Directions to Trustee
All directions to the Trustee from the Plan Administrator or Delegatee must be in
writing and must be signed by the Plan Administrator or Delegatee, as the case
may be. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, direction shall include any
certification, notice, authorization, application or instruction of the Plan
Administrator, Delegatee or Trustee appropriately communicated. The above
notwithstanding, direction may be implied if the Plan Administrator or Delegatee
has knowledge of the Trustee's intentions and fails to file written objection.
The Trustee shall have the power and duty to comply promptly with all proper
directions of the Plan Administrator or Delegatee, appointed in accordance with
the provisions of this Trust Agreement. In the case of any direction deemed by
the Trustee to be unclear or ambiguous the Trustee may seek written instructions
from the Plan Administrator, the Employer or the Delegatee on such matter and
await their written instructions without incurring any liability. If at any time the
Plan Administrator or the Delegatee should fail to give directions to the Trustee,
the Trustee may act in the manner that in its discretion seems advisable under the
circumstances for carrying out the purposes of the Trust and/or the applicable
Agency Account which may include not taking any action. The Trustee may
request directions or clarification of directions received and may delay acting
until clarification is received. In the absence of timely direction or clarification,
or if the Trustee considers any direction to be a violation of the Trust Agreement
or any applicable law, the Trustee shall in its sole discretion take appropriate
action, or refuse to act upon a direction.
3.9 Appointment of Trust Administrator
The Employers may, with the approval of two-thirds (2/3) or more of the
Employers then participating in the Trust, act to appoint a bank, trust company,
retirement board, insurer, committee or such other entity as permitted by law, to
serve as Trust Administrator of the Trust. Such action must be in writing. Upon
the written acceptance of such entity it shall become the Trust Administrator of
Page 9 of 25
191 of 216
the Trust. If the Trust Administrator is removed or resigns pursuant to Section
3.13, the Employers shall appoint a successor Trust Administrator in accordance
with the voting requirements set forth in this Section 3.9.
3.10 Trust Administrator
The Trust Administrator's duties involve the performance of the following
services pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Agreement and the Agreement for
Administrative Services:
(a) Performing periodic accounting of each Agency Account (including
subaccount-level accounting within each Agency Account) and reconciling such
Agency Account balances with the Trust/Omnibus Account;
(b) Directing the Trustee to make distributions from the appropriate
subaccount under an Agency Account in accordance with Section 5.9.
(c) Allocating contributions, earnings and expenses to each Agency Account
and the underlying subaccounts;

such other acts as shall be appropriate to carry out the intent of the Trust;
(e) Such other services as the Employer and the Trust Administrator may
agree in the Agreement for Administrative Services pursuant to Section 2.3.
The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be under no duty to
question, any direction and/or data received from the Plan Administrator, or other
duly authorized entity, in order to perform its authorized duties under this Trust
Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall not have any duty to compute
contributions made to the Trust, determine or inquire whether contributions made
to the Trust by the Plan Administrator or other duly authorized entity are adequate
to meet an Employer's Pension Obligation or OPEB Obligation as may be
determined under any applicable GASB pronouncement; or determine or inquire
whether contributions made to the Trust are in compliance with the Employer's
OPEB Plan or Pension Plan. The Trust Administrator shall not be liable for
nonperformance of duties if such nonperformance is directly caused by erroneous,
and/or late delivery of, directions or data from the Plan Administrator, or other
duly authorized entity.
3.11. Additional Trust Administrator Services
The Plan Administrator may at any time retain the Trust Administrator as its
agent to perform any act, keep any records or accounts and make any
computations which are required of the Employer or the Plan Administrator by
this Trust Agreement or by the Employer's policies and/or applicable collective
bargaining agreements. The Trust Administrator shall be separately compensated
Page 10 of 25
192 of 216
for such service and such services shall not be deemed to be contrary to the Trust
Agreement.
3.12 Trust Administrator's Compensation
As may be agreed upon from time to time by the Employer and Trust
Administrator, the Trust Administrator will be paid reasonable compensation for
services rendered or reimbursed for expenses properly and actually incurred in the
performance of duties with respect to such Employer's Agency Account and to
the Trust.
3.13 Resignation or Removal of Trust Administrator
The Employers may act to remove the Trust Administrator, provided that such
action must satisfy the voting requirements set forth in Section 3.9 and notice of
such action must be promptly delivered to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and each Plan Administrator. The Trust Administrator may also resign at any
time by giving at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to
the Trustee and to the Plan Administrator of each Employer that has adopted the
Trust Agreement and not terminated its participation in the Trust; provided,
however, that the Trust Administrator may resign immediately upon the earlier of
the approval date or the effective date of any amendment of the Trust Agreement
by the Employers that would change or modify the duties, powers or liabilities of
the Trust Administrator hereunder without the Trust Administrator's consent.
The Trust Administrator shall, upon the appointment and acceptance of a
successor trust administrator, transfer all records relating to the Trust to the
successor.

the powers of an owner with respect to stocks, bonds, securities or other property

events is authorized and empowered:
(a) To invest funds pending required directions in any type of interest -bearing
account, including, without limitation, time certificates of deposit or interest -

any Trustee's fees received pursuant to this Trust Agreement;
(b) To cause all or any part of the Trust to be held in the name of the Trustee

(k) To compensate such executive, consultant, actuarial, accounting,

ARTICLE V
INVESTMENTS
5.1 Discretionary Versus Directed Investment
For the Pension Account and the OPEB Account under the Agency Account, the
Employer shall elect either a discretionary or directed investment approach. The
Employer may elect the same or different investment approaches for those two
subaccounts. The Employer hereby elects a directed approach for the Suspense
Account. If the Employer elects a discretionary investment approach for a
subaccount, the Employer shall further elect between the various investment
strategies offered and the Trustee, in accordance with Article IV, shall have
absolute discretion over the investment of the Assets held in such subaccount
under the Employer's Agency Account. If the Employer elects a directed
investment approach for a subaccount, the Trustee shall direct the investment of
the Assets of such subaccount under the Employer's Agency Account in
accordance with the direction provided by such Employer.
5.2 Trustee Fees
As may be agreed upon, in writing, between the Plan Administrator and Trustee,
the Trustee will be paid reasonable compensation for services rendered or
reimbursed for expenses properly and actually incurred in the performance of
duties with respect to the applicable Agency Account or the Trust.
5.3 Contributions
Eligible Employees are not permitted to make contributions to the Trust. The
Plan Administrator shall, on behalf of the Employer, make all contributions to the
Trustee. Such contributions shall be in cash unless the Trustee agrees to accept a
contribution that is not in cash. All contributions shall be paid to the Trustee for
investment and reinvestment pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement. The
Trustee shall not have any duty to determine or inquire whether any contributions
Page 15 of 25
197 of 216
to the Trust made to the Trustee by any Plan Administrator are in compliance with
the Employer's Pension Plan or OPEB Plan; nor shall the Trustee have any duty
or authority to compute any amount to be paid to the Trustee by any Plan
Administrator; nor shall the Trustee be responsible for the collection or adequacy
of the contributions to meet an Employer's Pension Obligation or OPEB
Obligation. The contributions received by the Trustee from each Employer shall
be held and administered pursuant to the terms hereof without distinction between
income and principal.
5.4 Records
(a) The Trustee shall maintain accurate records and detailed accounts of all
investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions hereunder at the Trust
level. Such records shall be available at all reasonable times for inspection by the
Trust Administrator. The Trustee shall, at the direction of the Trust
Administrator, submit such valuations, reports or other information as the Trust
Administrator may reasonably require.
(b) The Assets of the Trust shall be valued at their fair market value on the
date of valuation, as determined by the Trustee based upon such sources of
information as it may deem reliable; provided, however, that the Plan
Administrator shall instruct the Trustee as to valuation of assets which are not
readily determinable on an established market. The Trustee may rely
conclusively on such valuations provided by the Plan Administrator and shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Employer with respect to such reliance. If
the Plan Administrator fails to provide such values, the Trustee may take
whatever action it deems reasonable, including employment of attorneys,
appraisers or other professionals, the expense of which will be an expense of
administration of the Trust. Transactions in the account involving such hard to
value assets may be postponed until appropriate valuations have been received
and Trustee shall have no liability therefore.
5.5 Statements
(a) Periodically as specified, and within sixty days after December 31, or the
end of the Trust's fiscal year if different, Trustee shall render to the Trust
Administrator as directed, a written account showing in reasonable summary the
investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions engaged in by the
Trustee during the preceding fiscal year or period with respect to the Trust. Such
account shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Trust valued as of the end of
the accounting period.
(b) The Trust Administrator may approve such statements either by written
notice or by failure to express objections to such statements by written notice
delivered to the Trustee within 90 days from the date the statement is delivered to
the Trust Administrator. Upon approval, the Trustee shall be released and
discharged as to all matters and items set forth in such statement as if such
Page 16 of 25
198 of 216
account had been settled and allowed by a decree from a court of competent
jurisdiction.
5.6 Wire Transfers
The Trustee shall follow the Plan Administrator's, Delegatee's, or Trust
Administrator's wire transfer instructions in compliance with the written security
procedures provided by the party providing the wire transfers. The Trustee shall
perform a telephonic verification to the Plan Administrator, Trust Administrator,
or Delegatee, or such other security procedure as selected by the party providing
wire transfer directions, prior to wiring funds or following facsimile directions as
Trustee may require. The Plan Administrator assumes the risk of delay of transfer
if Trustee is unable to reach the Plan Administrator, or in the event of delay as a
result of attempts to comply with any other security procedure selected by the
directing party.
5.7 Exclusive Benefit
The Assets of an Employer's Agency Account shall be held in trust for the
exclusive purpose of funding the Employer's OPEB Obligation or Pension
Obligation or both and defraying the reasonable expenses associated with the
same and shall not be used for or diverted to any other purpose. No party shall
have authority to use or divert the Assets of an Agency Account of an Employer
for the satisfaction of any other Employer's Pension Obligation or OPEB
Obligation or any other Employer's expenses.
5.8 Delegation of Duties
The Plan Administrator, Delegatee, or Trust Administrator, may at any time retain
the Trustee as its agent to perform any act, keep any records or accounts and make
any computations that are required of the Plan Administrator, Delegatee or Trust
Administrator by this Trust Agreement or by the Plan. The Trustee may be
compensated for such retention and such retention shall not be deemed to be
contrary to this Trust Agreement.
5.9 Distributions
(a) The Trustee shall, from time to time, upon the written direction of the Plan
Administrator or Delegatee, make distributions from the Assets of the Trust under
the OPEB Account to the insurers, third party administrators, service providers or
other entities providing benefits or services under the OPEB Plan, or to Eligible
Employees and Eligible Beneficiaries for reimbursement of OPEB Plan premiums
(or other payments for OPEB Plan benefits) paid by the Eligible Employee or
Eligible Beneficiary, or to the Employer for reimbursement of OPEB Plan
benefits and expenses paid by the Employer, in such manner in such form(s), in
such amounts and for such purposes as may be specified in such directions.
Page 17 of 25
199 of 216
(b) In addition, the Trustee shall, from time to time, upon the written direction
of the Plan Administrator or Delegatee, make distributions from the Assets of the
Trust under the Pension Account directly to (i) the Qualified Trust as employer
contributions, (ii) any insurers, third party administrators, service providers or
other entities providing services in connection with determining the Employer's
Pension Obligation, or (iii) the Employer as reimbursement for the Employer's
payment of amounts described in this Section 5.9(b)(i) and (ii).
(c) In no event shall the Trustee have any responsibility respecting the
application of distributions from the Assets of the Trust, or for determining or
inquiring into whether such distributions are in accordance with the Employer's
OPEB Plan, Pension Plan, policies, or applicable collective bargaining
agreements.
ARTICLE VI
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES
6.1 More Than One Fiduciary Capacity
Any one or more of the fiduciaries with respect to the Trust Agreement or the
Trust may, to the extent required thereby or as directed by the Plan Administrator
pursuant to this Trust Agreement, serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with
respect to the Trust Agreement and the Trust.
6.2 Fiduciary Discharge of Duties
Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, each fiduciary shall discharge
such fiduciary's duties with respect to the Trust Agreement and the Trust:
(a) solely in the interest of the Eligible Employees and for the exclusive
purpose of funding the Employer's OPEB Obligation or Pension Obligation or
both and defraying the reasonable expenses associated with the same; and
(b) with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then
prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like
aims.
6.3 Limitations on Fiduciary Responsibility
To the extent allowed by the laws of the state of each Employer:
No fiduciary shall be liable with respect to a breach of fiduciary duty by any other
fiduciary if such breach was committed before such party became a fiduciary or
after such party ceased to be a fiduciary.
Page 18 of 25
200 of 216
No fiduciary shall be liable for a breach by another fiduciary except as provided
by law.
No fiduciary shall be liable for carrying out a proper direction from another
fiduciary, including refraining from taking an action in the absence of a proper
direction from the other fiduciary possessing the authority and responsibility to
make such a direction, which direction the fiduciary in good faith believes to be
authorized and appropriate.
6.4 Indemnification of Trustee by Employer
The Trustee shall not be liable for, and Employer shall (to the extent allowed by
the laws of the state of each Employer) indemnify, defend (as set out in Section
6.8 of this Trust Agreement), and hold the Trustee (including its officers, agents,
employees and attorneys) and other Employers harmless from and against any
claims, demands, loss, costs, expense or liability imposed on the indemnified
party, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the indemnified
party, arising as a result of Employer's active or passive negligent act or omission
or willful misconduct in the execution or performance of its duties under this
Trust Agreement.
6.5 Indemnification of Employer by Trustee
The Employer shall not be liable for, and Trustee shall (to the extent allowed by
the laws of the state of each Employer) indemnify, defend (as set out in Section
6.8 of this Trust Agreement), and hold the Employer (including its officers,
agents, employees and attorneys) and other Employers harmless from and against
any claims, demands, loss, costs, expense or liability imposed on the indemnified
party, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the indemnified
party, arising as a result of Trustee's active or passive negligent act or omission or
willful misconduct in the execution or performance of its duties under this Trust
Agreement.
6.6 Indemnification of Trustee by Trust Administrator
The Trustee shall not be liable for, and Trust Administrator shall (to the extent
allowed by the laws of the state of each Employer) indemnify and hold the
Trustee (including its officers, agents, employees and attorneys) harmless from
and against any claims, demands, loss, costs, expense or liability imposed on the
indemnified party, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the
indemnified party, arising as a result of Trust Administrator's active or passive
negligent act or omission or willful misconduct in the execution or performance
of its duties under this Trust Agreement.
6.7 Indemnification of Trust Administrator by Trustee
The Trust Administrator shall not be liable for, and Trustee shall (to the extent
allowed by the laws of the state of each Employer) indemnify and hold the Trust
Page 19 of 25
201 of 216
Administrator (including its officers, agents, employees and attorneys) harmless
from and against any claims, demands, loss, costs, expense or liability imposed on
the indemnified party, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred by
the indemnified party, arising as a result of Trustee's active or passive negligent
act or omission or willful misconduct in the execution or performance of its duties
under this Trust Agreement.
6.8 Indemnification Procedures
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice or receipt of a claim or
the commencement of any action for which indemnification may be sought, the
indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the receipt or
commencement thereof. When the indemnifying party has agreed to provide a
defense as set out above that party shall assume the defense of such action
(including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnitee) and the payment of expenses, insofar as such
action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be
sought against the indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of
the indemnifying party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized by the indemnifying party or (ii) the named parties to any
such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them.
The indemnifying party shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any
settlement of any such action effected without the indemnifying party's consent.
The indemnification procedures of this Trust Agreement shall survive the
termination of the Trust, any Employer's participation in the Trust and/or this
Trust Agreement.
6.9 No Joint and Several Liability
This document is not intended to and does not create any joint powers agreement
or any joint and several liability. No Employer shall be responsible for any
contributions, costs or distributions of any other Employer.
ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND MERGER
7.1 No Contractual Obligation
An Employer's participation in the Trust does not create, and is not intended to
create, any contractual obligation to Eligible Employees. Therefore, no Employer
is contractually obligated to Eligible Employees solely due to its participation in
Page 20 of 25
202 of 216
the Trust to continue providing benefits under its Pension Plan or OPEB Plan or
to make contributions to the Trust.
7.2 Amendment of Trust
(a) The Trust Agreement may be amended only by the approval of two-thirds
(2/3) or more of the Employers then participating in the Trust. Any such
amendment by the Employers shall be set forth in an instrument in writing and
shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and all Plan
Administrators not less than one hundred and eighty (180) days before the
effective date of such amendment; provided, however, that any party may waive
in writing such 180-day requirement with respect to any amendment (and such
waiver shall not constitute a waiver with respect to any other amendment); and
provided, further, that a waiver in writing of such 180-day requirement by two-
thirds (2/3) or more of the Plan Administrators of the Employers participating in
the Trust as of the date the amendment is adopted shall constitute a waiver of such
180-day requirement by all of the Employers then participating in the Trust. In
addition, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall have the right to amend this
Trust Agreement from time to time (without the requirement of a vote of
Employers) solely for the purpose of keeping the Trust Agreement in compliance
with the Code and applicable state law. Any such amendment by the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee shall be set forth in an instrument in writing and
shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and all Plan
Administrators promptly as each is made.
(b) Any amendment of the Trust Agreement may be current, retroactive or
prospective, provided, however, that no amendment shall:
(1) Cause the Assets of any Agency Account to be used for or diverted
to purposes other than for the exclusive purpose of funding the
Employer's OPEB Obligation or Pension Obligation or both and defraying
the reasonable expenses associated with the same.
(2) Permit the Assets of any Agency Account to be used for the benefit
of any other Employer.
7.3 Termination of Employer's Obligation to Provide Pension Benefits or OPEB
A termination of the Employer's obligation to provide benefits under the
Employer's Pension Plan or OPEB Nan for which the Employer's Agency
Account was established shall not, in itself, effect a termination of the Agency
Account. Upon a termination of the Employer's obligation to provide benefits
under its Pension Plan or OPEB Plan, the Assets of the Employer's Pension
Account or OPEB Account, as applicable, will be distributed by the Trustee when
directed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with this Section 7.3. From and
after the date of such termination and until final distribution of all Assets under
the Employer's Agency Account, the Trustee shall continue to have all the powers
Page 21 of 25
203 of 216
provided herein as are necessary or expedient for the orderly liquidation and
distribution of such Assets, and the Agency Account shall continue until the
Assets have been completely distributed. Any Assets remaining in the Pension
Account or OPEB Account will be used first to satisfy any remaining Pension
Obligation or OPEB Obligation, respectively, pursuant to the Employer's Pension
Plan or OPEB Plan (to the extent that such distribution constitutes the exercise of
an "essential governmental function" within the meaning of Section 115 of the
Code) and to satisfy any of such Employer's obligations under this Trust
Agreement. Any Assets remaining in the Employer's Pension Account or OPEB
Account (as applicable) after giving effect to the preceding sentence will be paid
to the Employer to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the
requirements of Section 115 of the Code.
7.4 Fund Recovery Based on Mistake of Fact
Except as hereinafter provided or in accordance with Section 7.3, the Assets of
the Trust shall never inure to the benefit of the Employer. The Assets shall be
held for the exclusive purpose of funding the Employer's OPEB Obligation or
Pension Obligation or both and defraying the reasonable expenses associated with
the same. However, in the case of a contribution which is made by an Employer
because of a mistake of fact, that portion of the contribution relating to the
mistake of fact (exclusive of any earnings or losses attributable thereto) may be
returned to the Employer, provided such return occurs within two (2) years after
discovery by the Employer of the mistake. If any repayment is payable to the
Employer, then, as a condition to such repayment, and only if requested by
Trustee, the Employer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee its
written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, to indemnify, defend
and hold the Trustee harmless from all claims, actions, demands or liabilities
arising in connection with such repayment.
7.5 Termination of Trust
(a) The Trust and this Trust Agreement may be terminated by the unanimous
agreement of all Employers, which action must be in writing and delivered to the
Trustee and Trust Administrator. Upon termination of the Trust under this Section
7.5(a), the Assets of each Employer's Pension Account or OPEB Account, as
applicable, will be distributed by the Trustee when directed by the Plan
Administrator in accordance with this Section 7.5(a). From and after the date of
such termination and until final distribution of all Assets under each Employer's
Agency Account, the Trustee shall continue to have all the powers provided
herein as are necessary or expedient for the orderly liquidation and distribution of
such Assets, and the Agency Account shall continue until the Assets have been
completely distributed. Any Assets remaining in the Pension Account or OPEB
Account will be used first to satisfy any remaining Pension Obligation or OPEB
Obligation, respectively, pursuant to the Employer's Pension Plan and OPEB Plan
(to the extent that such distribution constitutes the exercise of an "essential
governmental function" within the meaning of Section 115 of the Code) and to
Page 22 of 25
204 of 216
satisfy any of such Employer's obligations under this Trust Agreement. Any
Assets remaining in the Employer's Pension Account or OPEB Account (as
applicable) after giving effect to the preceding sentence will be paid to the
Employer to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the requirements of
Section 115 of the Code.
(b) Contributions to the Trust are conditioned on initial qualification of the
Trust under Section 115 of the Code. If the Trust receives an adverse
determination with respect to its initial qualification, then the Trust and this Trust
Agreement will automatically terminate without any action by any Employer or
other parties. After such termination, the Assets of each Employer's Pension
Account or OPEB Account, as applicable, will be returned by the Trustee to the
Employer as directed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with this Section
7.5(b) to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the requirements of
Section 115 of the Code. This Section 7.5(b) will cease to apply upon the Trust's
receipt of a favorable determination with respect to its initial qualification.
(c) The Trust and this Trust Agreement may be terminated only as described
in this Section 7.5. In no case will the assets of the Trust be distributed on
termination to an entity that is not a state, a political subdivision of a state or an
entity the income of which is excluded from gross income under Section 115 of
the Code.

BACKGROUND REPORT
The City of National City currently prohibits the establishment or operation of any and all
medical or adult -use cannabis businesses in the City. The Mayor and Council appropriated funds
with the approval of the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget for Cannabis Management Services beginning
with a study on the revenue projections and impact of cannabis businesses within the city.
To meet these objectives, City staff requested authorization to hire a firm with cannabis
consulting expertise which specializes in working with local government agencies. As such at the
June 18, 2019 meeting City Council unanimously approved an amendment to the Hinderliter, De
Llamas and Associates (HdL Companies) current consulting contract to add Cannabis
Management Services to the agreement which would include revenue projections, impact
analysis, community outreach, development of a draft cannabis ordinance, a merit -based
application review process and a cost recovery fee study.
Since that time HdL meet with City staff to develop an initial evaluation based on various
scenarios of business types and number of cannabis operations in order to establish a preliminary
impact analysis.
Staff is returning to the City Council with Hdl to report on their initial finding and seek direction
for consideration of permitting commercial cannabis activities in the City or to make any
additional updates to the current ordinance which prohibits cannabis activity throughout the city.
Staff is requesting direction needed in order to proceed with drafting a regulatory ordinance and
amending the zoning ordinance, should council decide to do so. Staff will also seek guidance as
to which mechanism would be most desirable in generating revenue for the City via the adoption
of a cannabis tax measure or the implementation of development agreements. In addition, staff
will be providing the City Council some options in order to provide cannabis public outreach &
education.
DISCUSSION
Based on the wide range of direction to address allowable business types and locations
for cannabis businesses, staff has four primary areas of discussion it seeks at this time:
1. Cannabis Revenue Strategies
2. Land use regulations
3. Limit on Business Operations and Permitting Processes
4. Public Outreach and Workshops
Discussion Item #1- Cannabis Revenue Strategies
Page 1 of 5
212 of 216
Attachment 1
Staff is seeking guidance as to which mechanism would be most desirable in generating revenue
for the City via the adoption of a cannabis tax measure or the implementation of development
agreements. Staff will return to the City Council with potential fiscal benefits and impacts based
upon City Council policy direction. The City Council may also consider placing a cannabis
general tax measure on the November 2020 ballot if it chooses not to establish development
agreements.
Another layer in understanding the potential fiscal benefits and impacts, it will be essential to
identify the number of cannabis business types and the number of permits that will be permitted.
Cannabis Business type include cultivation, microbusiness, manufacturing testing labs,
delivery/non store front retailer, retail-medicinal/adult-use, distribution facilities and distribution
transport only. In addition, another key component is the timeline in which the business
operations can get up in running to provide revenue to the City. As part of this process we will
evaluate if a tax measure or a development agreement is the best method of generating revenue
for the City.
Discussion Item #2- Land Use Regulations
The City has broad authority to regulate local land use. In the context of cannabis regulations,
two primary themes emerge for consideration as regulations are drafted. The first relates to the
overall scope of the cannabis business types, meaning, does the City Council desire to permit
cannabis businesses (either types or locations), or prohibit them in certain locations or all
together for the purposes of meeting community expectations in terms of access, nuisance, or to
address other community concerns or expectations? The second issue relates to the number of
permits for each activity type and what process will be implemented in the issuance of permitting
businesses to operate.
In order to conclude on the first issue: scope of cannabis business types and locations, staff
intends to elaborate and have further dialogue about the various cannabis types and possible
desired locations/limitations. Following are several areas of discussion and questions City staff
wish to present.
Cultivation as a Business Type (either stand alone or as part of a Microbusiness) —
There are two principal findings on cannabis cultivation:
i. Impacts to microbusinesses: A state cannabis microbusiness permit requires
that a permittee be engaged in three cannabis business activities in one
location. This often is seen when a vertical business operation establishes a
business supply chain model. A ban on cultivation would limit the third
business activity to include retail (dispensary); while the more common
minimum components found in a micro business are indoor cultivation,
manufacturing, and distribution.
ii. Impacts to potential tax revenues: Microbusinesses that are permitted to
include cultivation often generate a higher revenue base due to the ability to
be vertically integrated. A ban on indoor cultivation could potentially create
limitations on revenues for this type of operation.
Page 2 of 5
213 of 216
Attachment 1
In addition, recent information related to the expiration of current temporary licenses
indicates that regulated cultivation in limited numbers might be a viable commodity
under the right circumstances and the quality of the operations should this activity be
permitted.
Business Location — Is it the desire of the City Council to restrict cannabis businesses to
the industrial zones, or should it be permitted in other areas such as commercial or
mixed -use zones. The primary discussion will relate to the following:
Cannabis retailers prefer to be centered around "like for like" business
types, meaning retail stores (dispensaries) in typical storefronts locations, in
areas zoned for retail land uses, as opposed to broadening industrial zoning
to accommodate cannabis retail businesses.
ii. Distance buffers between cannabis businesses, and/or concern over cannabis
businesses being located in any particular area of the City. State law creates
a requirement that cannabis businesses be located 600 feet from certain land
uses (youth centers and K-12 schools (public/private). City Council will be
asked if there are areas of the City that should be "off-limits" for certain
business types, or where increased buffers beyond 600-feet, for example
would be desired, if at all.
iii. Distinctions between volatile verses non-volatile manufacturing. In the
cannabis industry there are various methods of manufacturing cannabis
products, some of these methods involve more volatile inputs (such as
chemicals/gasses) in the production/manufacturing process. Normally, such
issues are addressed through building/fire code compliance. In some
instances, the distinction between manufacturing types is evaluated in a
zoning context, for example distinguishing between `heavy" industry or
"light" industry and possibly separating such uses through different zoning
districts. Because Prop 64 creates a distinction between volatile and non-
volatile manufacturing types for the purposes of imposing State regulations,
staff wanted to further discuss this distinction with City Council.
Discussion Item #3- Limit on Business Operations and Permitting Processes
Cannabis businesses have proven to be both an economic benefit and job creator in some
cities but at the same time have caused concerns of creating higher rents for other
business owners which have to compete with cannabis operators for leased space. As
such limiting the number of cannabis businesses in certain zones or areas need to be
taken into consideration should there be limited inventory of property available in order
to ensure the sustainability of other essential business to the community.
Limitations on Number of Cannabis Businesses— During the presentation Staff will
share with the City Council various models used in determining how many of any one
kind of cannabis business may be considered based on its findings and/or whether
Page 3 of 5
214 of 216
Attachment 1
phasing in more later on is an option. In addition, staff will discuss the potential benefits
and drawbacks of restricting the number of cannabis businesses.
Type of Permit to Address Business Locations — Cities vary in the method they use to
address potential site -specific impacts associated with allowing cannabis businesses to
operate. One method that is commonly used, to address similar sensitive land uses is the
Conditional Use Permit. This permit type is required in the City for bars and nightclubs,
and a variety of businesses where individual characteristics of operation may be better
suited to one location over another in the same zone district given its local context.
Other cities have opted to use a development agreement (contract) in order to address
site -specific considerations. The benefit of using a development agreement is that it
would be able to generate additional revenue which might not otherwise be obtainable
from a fee structure, which is limited to covering costs associated with providing
services. Furthermore, a development agreement can include conditions on businesses
operations much the same as a Conditional Use Permit but has the added ability to
require public benefit payments. Other cities using Development Agreements as a
revenue generating strategy include Port Hueneme and the City of West Sacramento.
Staff will discuss the potential benefits and timeline of Development Agreements.
Discussion Item #4- Public Outreach and Workshops
In order to obtain feedback and input from the community should the City conduct public
outreach and workshops prior to adopting any cannabis regulations.
Public outreach and workshops can be conducted in a variety of cost-effective methods.
1) Workshops can be conducted prior to scheduled City Council Meetings; 2) Special
Study Sessions can be scheduled in which the public can be given more time to
participate in the discussion without limited time due to other Council agenda items; 3)
Community workshops could be developed independently from any City Council
meeting by City staff and/or the Consultant.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff will return to the City Council with potential fiscal benefits and impacts based upon
City Council policy direction. The City Council may also consider placing a cannabis
general tax measure on the November 2020 ballot if it chooses not establish development
agreements.
RECOMMENDATION
Council's feedback will be used to further develop cannabis regulatory requirements for the
Council's consideration.
Staff is requesting guidance as to which mechanism would be most desirable in generating
revenue for the City via the adoption of a cannabis tax measure or the implementation of

development agreements; direction on drafting a regulatory ordinance and amending the zoning
ordinance to allow for cannabis activity; direction for establishing land use regulations;
establishing limits on business operations; and options in order to provide cannabis public
outreach & education.
