SYNOPSIS OF COMMISSION /COUNCIL /COMMITTEE ACTIONS) CONTINUED:
GSA had previously undertaken a solicitation process to obtain proposals from developers and property owners for
the siting of the proposed INS facility within the San Bernardino/Riverside region. In 1997, the Commission
directed EDA Staff to participate in the response process to assure that at least one proposal would include a City of
San Bernardino location. Preliminary cost estimates were compiled, site plans and architectural elevations were
prepared and a proposed construction budget and rental rates, including operating, maintenance and repair expenses,
were determined. All such estimates were included within the final proposal as submitted by the EDA Staff on
April 24, 1998, to the GSA during the solicitation and response process conducted by GSA.

STAFF REPORT
INS Office Building Disposition And Development Agreement
THE INS PROJECT
The EDA owned parcel is approximately 3.27 acres in size and was acquired over a period of years
starting in 1982 for a total price of $208,350. The INS facility is proposed to consist of an initial
phase of approximately 39,000 net usable square feet with the opportunity for a possible expansion
of an additional 10,000 square feet. It is anticipated that as many as 600 persons per day may visit
the INS facility. The on -site parking requirement will be determined by a focused traffic and parking
study for the project, however, it should be noted that the EDA proposal met the parking
requirements stipulated by GSA.
THE LEASE AGREEMENT
On August 17, 1998, the GSA issued its notice of intention to award the INS facility lease to the
EDA based upon the Final and Best Offer submitted in March, 1998. The award letter from GSA
stated that the EDA had 60 working days (which was determined to be November 7, 1998) to
execute the proposed final Lease Agreement which was submitted by GSA as a part of the award
materials. The final lease document included as part of the award letter consisted of 5 pages which
set forth the final modifications to the standard form GSA contract and lease documents plus 4 plan
sheets including floor plans and elevations. The final Lease Agreement included the commitment
by GSA as to the actual 10 -year lease term and the rental rates to be paid to the EDA based upon the
required net usable square footage of the INS facility. Twelve (12) related lease documents and the
standard GSA forms are incorporated into the final Lease Agreement. These related lease documents
and standard GSA forms had been reviewed and approved by EDA and were originally delivered
to GSA as part of the Final and Best Offer submittal in March 1998.
Upon review of the 5 page final Lease Agreement and the related lease documents and standard
forms delivered by GSA in August, 1998, by the City Attorney's Office and Special Counsel it was
apparent that except for possible errors or modifications in the 5 page final Lease Agreement
document, the EDA staff and the Commission had previously consented to the terms and provisions
of the various related lease documents and standard GSA forms. Included within the final Lease
Agreement is GSA's requirement for providing occupancy to the INS in the facility by not later than
November, 1999. EDA staff was of the view that the occupancy date was intended to be February,
2000 and could have been extended to perhaps June, 2000. Questions were raised upon further
review of the EDA Final and Best Offer as to whether the EDA would be able to construct the INS

facility within the originally contemplated budget as prepared by EDA staff. Efforts were also
undertaken to obtain alternate financing sources in the form of commercial bank loans or taxable
bond financings rather than relying upon EDA reserve funds to fund the construction of the INS
facility.
The final Lease Agreement, when fully executed by both the EDA and GSA, obligates the EDA to
complete the project by the required date at whatever cost is required based upon construction bids.
The EDA is responsible for payment of damages to GSA in the event occupancy is not achieved by
the mandatory date or if GSA is required to obtain an alternate facility due to the inability of the
EDA to complete the facility by the dates agreed to by the EDA.
CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
As discussions ensued between GSA representatives and EDA staff during the month of September
1998, it became apparent that the EDA would have to substantially accelerate the completion of final
working drawings in order to meet the time schedules that GSA was now setting for the completion
and occupancy of the INS facility. GSA also required that the EDA execute the 5 page final Lease
Agreement prior to November 7, 1998.
As these discussions with GSA were unfolding, the EDA's project manager for the INS facility
resigned on September 15, 1998. As a result, EDA determined that either: (i) a construction manager
would need to be retained immediately to coordinate the architectural, civil engineering and
structural engineering efforts; or (ii) the EDA would need to transfer its interest in the the final
Lease Agreement and the property to a qualified developer to complete the pre - construction efforts
for the design, obtain the necessary building permits and, obtain construction and permanent
financing and to assure that occupancy was achieved by the required date.
On October 22, 1998 the results of the Phase I environmental hazardous substance investigation of
the site was delivered to EDA staff. This Phase I review indicated various levels of surface
contamination caused by previous gas station and vehicle repair uses and splashing of oils from the
adjacent rail lines. A notable issue covered in the Phase I investigation was that certain dumping
activities had occurred on a portion of the site in the early 1900's when a ravine traversed the site.
The extent of dumping deposits in the old ravine appear to vary in depth from 6 to 22 feet in a
southeasterly direction across the site.

It is anticipated that the EDA will be authorized to consolidate further Phase 1I environmental
investigation work on the site with the commencement of removal of the old dump or fill materials
and import of clean soils to the site. This cost for the site preparation and soil compaction will have
to be borne by the EDA regardless of the alternative selected for the development of this site or
whether the INS facility or another project were to be constructed on this site.
DEVELOPER SELECTION PROCESS
On Wednesday, October 7, 1998, GSA communicated with the Executive Director that the EDA
would have 24 hours or until 3:00PM on Thursday, October 8, 1998, to approve, execute and deliver
the final Lease Agreement to GSA or GSA would offer the INS facility to the next best proposal.
EDA Staff was unable to obtain information from GSA whether the second best proposal was within
the City of San Bernardino. On Thursday, October 8, 1998, at 9:OOAM, the Executive Director
actually received by fax a demand letter from GSA. The Executive Director met with Special
Counsel and Mr. Ralph Affaitati at approximately 2:OOPM that same afternoon to discuss whether
Mr. Affaitati could assume the obligations of the EDA under the final Lease Agreement if it were
finally executed by the EDA and delivered to GSA within the time restraints imposed by GSA.
It was explained to Mr. Affaitati that EDA staff could not commit to assign the final Lease
Agreement to any particularly individual or company prior to official action by the Commission after
having conducted a public hearing as required by the Community Redevelopment Law. A first step
in the process prior to scheduling any such public hearing is the preparation of a draft of a suitable
disposition and development agreement ( "DDA "). At that time Mr. Affaitati was willing to
commence the architectural and structural engineering design at his own cost and participation with
EDA Staff and Special Council in the preparation of a draft DDA without any binding commitment
that the final DDA would be awarded to him after the conclusion of the required public hearing.
On the basis of these primarily discussions with Mr. Affaitati, the Executive Director sought the
legal advice from Special Counsel as to the authorization for the Mayor as Chairperson of the
Commission to execute the final Lease Agreement. Special Counsel concurred and eventually
provided GSA with a written legal opinion upon request as to the legal ability of the EDA to enter
into the final Lease Agreement and the authority for the execution of the final Lease Agreement.
The signed form of the final Lease Agreement was faxed to GSA prior to the 3:OOPM deadline, the
original was sent via messenger to GSA for delivery that afternoon and an additional copy was sent
to GSA via Federal Express for deliver the next day. To date, we have not been informed as to
whether GSA has executed the lease agreement.

On October 9, 1998, an unsolicited proposal was received from the Choppin Company offering
$1,120,000 in cash to the EDA for the property and also offering to hold harmless the EDA from any
and all liabilities under the final Lease Agreement if the final Lease Agreement were assigned by
the EDA to the Choppin Company.
This item was presented to the RDA Committee on Monday, October 12, 1998, at which time EDA
staff was directed to obtain additional written proposals and not to commit even informally to any
particular proposal at that time. This same matter was submitted to the Commission on Monday,
October 19, 1998, for further discussion and direction. The Commission ratified the execution of
the final Lease Agreement by the Chairperson and Secretary and directed EDA Staff to undertake
a formal interview process to obtain a recommended proposal complying with the 8 criteria imposed
by the Commission and discussed in open session. Said criteria included:(i) cash at close of escrow;
(ii) completion bond or other guarantee; (iii) retain architects and engineers at own cost and construct
project without EDA financial on -site or off -site assistance; (iv) obligation contingent upon
completion of Phase I, soils tests and land use entitlements provided by EDA; (v) history of past
involvement with GSA; (vi) track record of the developer; (vii) assurance to meet time deadline; and
(viii) general past history.

SECTION 33433 REPORT AND PUBLIC HEARING
Health and Safety Code Section 33433 permits a transfer of property acquired with tax increment
revenues after a public hearing and the preparation of a written report. The financial consulting firm
of Keyser Marston has prepared such report on behalf of the EDA based upon information provided
by the EDA Staff. At the public hearing, the Commission is not obligated to accept the
recommendations of EDA Staff or the interview panel and the Commission may consider other oral
and written presentations at the public hearing and, may decide on another alternative for
undertaking the INS facility development -- Commission retains the prerogative to award the DDA
to another developer on any terms and conditions that are consistent with the Section 33433 report
and public hearing notice.
SUMMARY OF SECTION 33433 REPORT
The summary report prepared by Keyser Marston was based upon the October 22, 1998
recommendations of the interview panel that the DDA be awarded to the Vanir Group of
Companies ( "Vanir "). Vanir has offered to release $100,000 cash to the EDA upon transfer of
title to the Rialto Avenue Site and to develop a formula for the determination of the fair market
value of said property in the following manner. Vanir will obtain a construction loan for the
project. The lender bank will conduct an appraisal of the INS facility and the parties will agree
that the land value determined in the appraisal shall constitute the fair market value of the land.

Page Number 7
Thus, Vanir will pay the EDA the remaining amount of the price of the land (purchase price less
$100,000 deposit received) based upon said appraisal. The remaining amount of the purchase
price shall be paid over 10 years from 15% of net rental revenues. The full land purchase price is
due in 10 years or upon the sale or refinancing of the project.
When the purchase price of the property being conveyed is less than fair market value, Health and
Safe Code Section 33433 requires that the report explain the reason for any difference. While it
appears that the purchase price is lower than fair market value, based upon the Keyser Marston
Report, when the costs of acquisition, environmental clean up and site preparation are included, the
disposition price should be approximately equal to the fair market value of the property.
The costs to the EDA for the project are land acquisition and environmental remediation. The EDA
acquired the land for $208,350 and environmental remediation is estimated at $250,000 as a
minimum to upwards of $600,000. Thus, total costs to the EDA are estimated at $408,350.
The revenue to the EDA from the disposition of the Rialto Avenue Site will come from land sales
and tax increment revenues. Land sale costs shall be paid based upon the appraisal $100,000 of
which shall be received at the execution of the DDA; and it is estimated that the present value of tax
increment revenues from the project equals $850,000. Thus, the EDA is projected to receive at least
$541,650 in net revenues from the project, plus an additional sum for the remaining value of the
interest in the land which will be determined by appraisal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the public hearing be opened, comments and written materials submitted
at the hearing be considered by the Commission, and based upon the documentation available to
the EDA Staff as of the date of this Staff Report, that the attached Resolutions be adopted as
proposed andthe DDA be awarded to Vanir Development.

04
II. COST OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
The costs to be incurred by the Agency are comprised of land acquisition and
environmental remediation, demolition of the existing improvements. The Agency costs
have been estimated as follows:
Site Acquisition $208,350
Environmental

Total Agency Costs $408,350
The Agency acquired the Site for $208,350. Environmental remediation costs are
estimated to be $200,000. Total Agency costs are estimated to be $408,350.
The Agency will receive revenues from three sources: the land purchase deposit, land

completion. The Agency will also receive tax increment revenues over the remaining
term of the Central City Redevelopment Project Area through 2021.
Land Purchase Deposit $100,000
Land Sale Proceeds TBD
NPV Tax Increment Revenues 850,000
Total Agency Revenues $950,000
As indicated above, Agency costs amount to $408,350 and the land purchase deposit
and Agency tax increment revenues are estimated at $950,000. Under the Agreement,
the Agency is projected to receive $541,650 in net revenues. Payments received for
the remainder of land purchase over time will increase the Agency's net revenues.
III. ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED DETERMINED
AT THE HIGHEST USE PERMITTED UNDER THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Site has a peripheral location in downtown San Bernardino. Given the location
characteristics of the Site, office use represents the highest and best use of the Site.
Under the Agreement the Site will be conveyed to the Developer at the appraised value
for an office use which represents the highest use allowed under the Redevelopment
Plan.
3
IV. ESTIMATED REUSE VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED
DETERMINED BASED ON THE REQUIRED USE AND WITH THE
CONDITIONS, COVENANTS AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS REQUIRED BY
THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT
As noted above, the Site will be conveyed to the Developer for the highest use value
allowed under the Redevelopment Plan.
V. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED AND COMPARISON WITH THE FAIR REUSE
VALUE
As noted above, the Site is being conveyed to the Developer at its highest use value.
VI. BLIGHT ALLEVIATION
The implementation of the proposed Agreement will result in the development of a
vacant site and the remediation of environmental conditions at the Site. The
development of a modern office building at the Site will add to the commercial diversity
of the area and will bring new employment to the downtown.
VII. CONFORMANCE WITH THE AB 1290 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Five Year Implementation Plan adopted by the Agency contains several broad
operational goals and objectives. Among these are the following:
1. Creation of incentive programs for existing property owners to reinvest in their
properties, including the utilization of Disposition and Development Agreements
and Owner Participation Agreements.
2. Creation of viable housing options within the Redevelopment Project that span a
range of incomes, including housing for the homeless and formerly homeless.
3. Creative implementation of catalyst projects which spur reinvestment on
surrounding blocks.
4. Land acquisition for the creation of public facilities which serve both the
immediate neighborhood and the community at large.
5. Enhancement of ceremonial streets which function as the focal points in their
individual neighborhoods.
6. Continued preservation of historically significant structures.

E
7. Improvements to existing water and sewer lines, streets, sidewalks, parkways
and lighting in the public right -of -way.
8. Continued participation in the enhancement of the public infrastructure system.
9. Acquisition and development of property to abate nuisance uses and provide for
future development.
The proposed Agreement will assist the Agency in meeting some of the objectives and
goals of its Five Year Implementation Plan in the following ways:
1. The Agreement encourages a reinvestment and revitalization in the blighted
block which encompasses the Site by the addition of a new office complex.
2. The provision of the office building and its occupancy by the INS will increase
employment in downtown San Bernardino, providing a catalyst for additional
reinvestment by private enterprise in the surrounding area.
3. The office building will help to create additional job opportunities in the
community.
Based on the preceding factors, the proposed Agreement is consistent with the adopted
Five Year Implementation Plan.

a. Scope of Development. The Developer agrees to develop the
Property as a commercial office building (the "Building ") in accordance with and within the
limitations established in the Scope of Development set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference and the Lease attached thereto. Subject to the
limitations imposed herein, the Developer shall assume all of the Agency's obligations
under the Lease and, subject to the obligations of the Agency to assist Developer pursuant
to this Agreement, shall obtain all necessary City approvals and approvals from other
governmental agencies.
b. The City's zoning ordinance including, but not limited to, parking and
height requirements, and the City's building requirements are applicable to the use and
development of the Property pursuant to this Agreement. The Developer acknowledges
that any change in the plans for development or the use of the Property as set forth in the
Scope of Development shall be subject to the City's zoning ordinance and building
requirements. No action by the Agency or the City with reference to this Agreement or
related documents shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any City parking, height or
other requirements which are applicable to the Project or to the Developer, any successor
in interest or tenant of the Developer or any tenant or successor in interest pertaining to
the Property, except by modification or variance approved by the City consistent with this
Agreement. The Agency shall cooperate with and shall assist the Developer in order to
obtain modifications or variances from City zoning regulations necessary to develop the
Project consistent with this Agreement and, in particular, with the Scope of Development.
Any failure by the City either to approve or disapprove any of such modifications or
variances within a thirty (30) calendar day period shall constitute an enforced delay
hereunder and, subject to the terms of the Lease, the Schedule of Performance attached
hereto as Exhibit E shall be extended by that period of time beyond said thirty (30)
calendar day period in which the City approves or disapproves such modifications or
variances. Prior to the Close of Escrow, in the event that any delays are caused
hereunder due to the actions or inactions of the City and said delays result in a breach of
the terms of the Lease and said breach is not waived by the lessee after Developer, using
its reasonable best efforts to negotiate a modification to the Lease, has not obtained such
modification or waiver, then the Developer may, at its sole election, terminate this
Agreement. In the event Developer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this subsection,
upon written request by the Developer accompanied by supporting documentation, the
Agency shall reimburse the Developer for all costs incurred in connection with the
development of the Project.
11
C. The Scope of Development set forth in Exhibit "A" is hereby approved
by the Agency upon its execution of this Agreement. The Project shall be developed and
completed in conformance with the approved Scope of Development and any and all other
plans, specifications and similar development documents required by this Agreement,
except for such changes as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by and between the
Developer and the Agency subject to approval by the Lessee.
d. Subject to the obligations of the Agency to assist Developer pursuant
to this Agreement, the approval of the Scope of Development by the Agency hereunder
shall not be binding upon the City Council or the Planning Commission of the City with
respect to any approvals of the Project required by such other bodies. If any revisions of
the Scope of Development as approved by the Agency shall be required by another
government official, agency, department or bureau having jurisdiction over the
development of the Property, the Developer and the Agency shall cooperate in efforts to
obtain waivers of such revisions, or to obtain approvals of any such revisions which have
been made by the Developer and have thereafter been approved by the Agency. The
Agency shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such revisions.
e. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Developer agrees to accept and comply fully with any and all reasonable conditions of
approval applicable to all permits and other governmental actions affecting the Project and
consistent with this Agreement.
f. The Developer shall cause landscaping plans for the Project to be
prepared by a licensed landscape architect. The Developer shall prepare and submit to
the Agency for its approval, preliminary and final landscaping plans for the Property.
These plans shall be prepared, submitted and approved within the times respectively
established therefor in the Schedule of Performance as shown on Exhibit "E" attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference and shall be consistent with the Scope of
Development.
g. Within One Hundred Twenty (120) days of the execution of this
Agreement, the Developer shall prepare and submit development plans, construction
drawings and related documents for the development of the Property consistent with the
Scope of Development and the Lease to the City, the Agency and the Lessee for review
(including, but not limited to, architectural review of the exterior of structures); provided,
however, that the Agency shall not have the right or responsibility to approve development
plans, construction drawings or related documents for purposes of the issuance of a
building permit or otherwise on behalf of the City, but shall only have the right of review
and approval of such plans, drawings and documents for purposes of: (a) architecture and
design of structures and the overall development of the Project, and (b) conformity of such
plans, drawings and documents with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Lease. The development plans, construction drawings and related documents shall be
submitted in two stages -- preliminary and final drawings (i.e., working drawings), plans
and specifications. Final drawings, plans and specifications are hereby defined as those
IVA
which contain sufficient detail necessary to obtain a building permit from the City. Any
such items submitted to and approved in writing by the Agency shall not be subject to
subsequent disapproval by the Agency, and any such Agency approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. To the greatest possible extent, the Agency shall conduct its
review of development plans, construction drawings and related documents for the
development of the Property, concurrent with review of the same documents by the City.
h. During the preparation of all drawings and plans for the Project, the
Agency staff and the Developer shall hold regular progress meetings to coordinate the
preparation by the Developer, and the submission to and review by the City and the
Agency of construction plans and related documents. The Agency staff and the Developer

such plans and related documents submitted by the Developer to the City and the Agency
can receive prompt and speedy consideration.

approval any and all plans, drawings and related documents pertinent to the development
of the Property, as required by the City. The Agency shall cooperate with and shall assist
the Developer in order for the Developer to obtain the approval of any and all development
plans, construction drawings and related documents submitted by the Developer to the
City consistent with this Agreement. Any failure by the City to approve any of such plans
or to issue necessary permits for the development of the Property within a thirty (30)
calendar day period shall constitute an enforced delay hereunder, and the Schedule of
Performance shall be extended by that period of time beyond said thirty (30) calendar day
period in which the City approves said plans; provided, however, that in the event that the
City disapproves of any of such plans, the Developer shall within thirty (30) calendar days
after receipt of such disapproval revise and resubmit such plans in accordance with the
City's requirements and in such form an substance to as to obtain the City's approval
thereof. Prior to the Close of Escrow, in the event that any delays are caused hereunder
due to the actions or inactions of the City and said delays result in a breach of the terms
of the Lease and said breach is not waived by the lessee after Developer, using its
reasonable best efforts to negotiate a modification to the Lease, has not obtained such
modification or waiver, then the Developer may, at its sole election, terminate this
Agreement. In the event Developer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this subsection,
the Agency shall reimburse the Developer for all costs incurred in connection with the
development of the Project upon written request by the Developer accompanied by
supporting documentation for such costs.
13
k. The Agency shall in good faith use its best efforts to cause the City
to approve in a timely fashion any and all plans, drawings and documents submitted by the
Developer hereunder and to cause the City not to impose new conditions inconsistent with:

Development, or (c) the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency does not
guarantee or warrant that the City will approve Developer plans, drawings or documents
or will not impose new conditions on the Developer.
I. The Agency shall approve any modified or revised plans, drawings
and related documents to which reference is made in this Agreement within the times
established in the Schedule of Performance as long as such plans, drawings and related
documents are generally consistent with the Scope of Development and any other plans
which have been approved by the Agency. Upon any disapproval of plans, drawings or
related documents, the Agency shall state in writing the reasons for such disapproval. The
Developer, upon receipt of notice of any disapproval, shall promptly revise such
disapproved portions of the plans, drawings or related documents in a manner that
addresses the reasons for disapproval and reasonably meets the requirements of the
Agency in order to obtain the Agency's approval thereof. The Developer shall resubmit
such revised plans, drawings and related documents to the Agency as soon as possible
after its receipt of the notice of disapproval and, in any event, no later than thirty (30)
calendar days thereafter. The Agency shall approve or disapprove such revised plans,
drawings and related documents in the same manner and within the same times as
provided in this Section for approval or disapproval of plans, drawings and related
documents initially submitted to the Agency.
M. If the Developer desires to make any change in the final construction
drawings, plans and specifications and related documents after their approval by the
Agency and/or the City, the Developer shall submit the proposed change in writing to the
Agency and/or the City for approval. The Agency shall notify the Developer of approval
or disapproval thereof in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days after submission to the
Agency. This fifteen (15) calendar day period may be extended by mutual consent of the
Developer and the Agency. Any such change shall, in any event, be deemed to be
approved by the Agency unless rejected, in whole or in part, by written notice thereof
submitted by the Agency to the Developer, setting forth in detail the reasons therefor, and
such rejection shall be made within said fifteen (15) calendar day period unless extended
as permitted herein. The Agency shall use its best efforts to cause the City to review and
approve or disapprove any such change as provided in Section 3.01(b) hereof.
n. The Developer, upon receipt of a notice of disapproval by the Agency
and /or the City, may revise such portions of the proposed change in construction drawings,
plans and specifications and related documents as are rejected and shall thereafter
resubmit such revisions to the Agency and /or the City for approval in the manner provided
in Section 3.01(b) hereof.
14
o. The Developer shall have the right during the course of construction
to make changes in construction concerning the interior of structures and "minor field
changes" without seeking the approval of the Agency; provided, however, that such
changes do not affect the type of use to be conducted within all or any portion of a
structure. Said "minor field changes" shall be defined as those changes from the approved
final construction drawings, plans and specifications which have no substantial effect on
the improvements and are made in order to expedite the work of construction in response
to field conditions. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver of or change in the City's Building Code requirements governing such "minor field
changes" or in any and all approvals by the City otherwise required for such "minor field
changes."
p. The costs of developing the Property and of constructing all
improvements thereon and adjacent thereto as set forth in the Scope of Development shall
be borne by the Developer except as provided herein.

as mutually agreed upon in writing by and between the Developer and the Agency and as
consistent with the Lease. Any and all deadlines for performance by the parties shall be
extended for any times attributable to delays which are not the fault of the performing party
and are caused by the other party, other than periods for review and approval or
reasonable disapprovals of plans, drawings and related documents, specifications or
applications for permits as provided in this Agreement and as consistent with the Lease.
r. Prior to and during the period of construction of the Project, the
Developer shall submit to the Agency written progress reports when and as reasonably

called "umbrella" policy. Said insurance shall cover comprehensive general liability
including, but not limited to, contractual liability; acts of subcontractors; premises -
operations; explosion, collapse and underground hazards, if applicable; broad form
property damage, and personal injury including libel, slander and false arrest. In addition,
the Developer shall provide to the Agency adequate proof of comprehensive automobile

primary to any and all insurance which the Agency and/or City may otherwise carry,
including self insurance, which for all purposes of this Agreement shall be separate and
apart from the requirements of this Agreement. Any insurance policies governing the
Property as obtained by the Agency shall not be transferred from the Agency to the
Developer. Appropriate insurance means those insurance policies approved by the
Agency Counsel consistent with the foregoing. Any and all insurance required hereunder
shall be maintained and kept in force until the Agency has issued the Certificate of
Completion for the Property.

16
representatives of the Agency and the City who enter the Property pursuant hereto shall

at all times be accompanied by a representative of the Developer while on the Property;
provided, however, that the Developer shall make a representative of the Developer
available for this purpose at all times during normal construction hours upon reasonable
notice from the Agency. The Agency shall indemnify and hold the Developer harmless
from injury, property damage or liability arising out of the exercise by the Agency and /or
the City of this right of access, other than injury, property damage or liability relating to the
sole negligence of the Developer or its officers, agents or employees.

bond or other surety covering any and all outstanding mechanics liens. The Developer
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agency shall not be responsible for clearing title
to the Property arising from liens placed on the Property as a result of the remediation
except for mechanic's liens resulting from the failure of the Agency to pay invoices properly
charged when due hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall confer legal responsibility for remediation of
the Property to the Developer and the Agency shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Developer as provided in Exhibit "H" hereof from any and all damages arising out of its
17
remediation of, or the condition of, the Property; provided that the Agency shall not be
legally responsible for any mechanics liens placed on the Property resulting from acts

real property taxes. Performance of the Lease is hereby agreed not to violate any
provision of this Section.
C. In the absence of specific written agreement or approval by the

contrary, mortgages, deeds of trust, or any other form of lien required for any reasonable
method of financing are permitted before the recordation of the Certificate of Completion

amendments regarding the rights of any lender as the approved lender shall reasonably

authorized by this Agreement shall in no manner be obligated by the provisions of this

challenge, cure or satisfy any unauthorized liens or encumbrances on the Property, the
Agency shall after sixty (60) calendar days prior written notice to the Developer have the
right to satisfy any such liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that nothing in this
Agreement shall require the Developer to pay or make provisions for the payment of any
tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as the Developer in good faith shall contest the
validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment shall not subject the
Property, or any portion thereof, to forfeiture or sale.
Section 3.08. Certificate of Completion.
a. Following the written request therefor by the Developer and the
completion of construction and development of the improvements, excluding any normal
and customary tenant improvements and minor building "punch -list" items, to be completed
by the Developer upon the Property, the Agency shall furnish the Developer with a
Certificate of Completion for the Property, substantially in the form of Exhibit "F" attached
hereto. Notwithstanding any provision set forth herein to the contrary, the completion of
construction and development of improvements on the Property shall be deemed to include
the completion of construction and development of any and all buildings on said Property
and any and all parking, landscaping and related improvements necessary to support or
which meet the requirements applicable to the building and its use and occupancy on said
Property.
20
b. The Agency shall not unreasonably withhold the issuance of such
Certificate of Completion. The Certificate of Completion shall be, and shall so state, that
it is a conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of all of the obligations of this
Agreement with respect to the development of the Property. After the recordation of the
Certificate of Completion, any party then owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or
otherwise acquiring any interest in the Property shall not (because of such ownership,
purchase, lease or acquisition) incur any obligation or liability under this Agreement,
except that such party shall be bound by any covenants contained in the grant deed, lease
or other instrument of transfer which grant deed, lease or other instrument of transfer shall
include the provisions of Section 4.01 through 4.05, inclusive, of this Agreement. Neither
the Agency nor any other person, after the recordation of the Certificate of Completion,
shall have any rights remedies or controls that it would otherwise have or be entitled to
exercise under this Agreement with respect to the Property, as a result of a default in or
breach of any provision of this Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the
parties shall be limited to those set forth in the grant deed.
C. The Certificate of Completion shall be in such form as to permit it to
be recorded in the Recorder's Office of the County where the Property is located.
d. If the Agency refuses or fails to furnish a Certificate of Completion for
the Property after written request from the Developer, the Agency shall, within fifteen (15)
calendar days of the written request or within three (3) calendar days after the next regular
meeting of the Agency, whichever date occurs later, provide to the Developer a written
statement setting forth the reasons with respect to the Agency's refusal or failure to furnish
a Certificate of Completion. The statement shall also contain the Agency's opinion of the
action the Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion. If the reason for such
refusal is confined to the immediate unavailability of specific items or materials for
construction or landscaping at a price reasonably acceptable to the Developer or other

or guarantors. Agency may without notice assign this Guarantee in whole or in part.
5. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses
which at any time may be available to it or Developer by virtue of any statute of limitations.
Guarantor waives any right to raise as a defense to the enforcement of this Guarantee any
defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Developer or by reason of
the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liabilities of Developer and further waives
the right to interpose any counterclaim or setoff of any nature. Guarantor also waives all
rights of subrogation against Developer until all obligations, whether or not subject to this
Guarantee, are satisfied in full. Guarantor further waives notice of default by Developer,

Specifically, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor may have certain rights
under applicable law which, if not waived by Guarantor as hereinafter provided, might
provide Guarantor with defenses against Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee under
certain circumstances, including, without limitation,
(a) any defense Guarantor may have pursuant to Civil Code Section 2810,
or otherwise, based upon (i) the cessation of liability on the part of Developer at any time
after the DDA is executed and delivered, or (ii) any other disability or defense of Developer
or any other guarantor, whatever the cause, whether by operation of law or otherwise;
(b) any right Guarantor may have pursuant to Civil Code Section 2825, or
otherwise, to be exonerated by any discharge of the Developer from liability under the DDA

(c) any right Guarantor may have pursuant to Civil Code Section 2845, or
otherwise, to require Agency to proceed against Developer, or any other guarantor,
endorser, co- signor or other person, or to pursue or to refrain from pursuing any other
remedy in Agency's power whatsoever, including without limitation, any remedy which
Guarantor cannot pursue or which would lighten Guarantor's burden, and the right to be
exonerated to the extent Guarantor is prejudiced by any failure by Agency to do so;
(d) until the obligation under the DDA is fully satisfied, any right of
reimbursement or subrogation Guarantor may have pursuant to Sections 2847 and 2848,
or otherwise, or any right to otherwise enforce any remedy which Agency has against the
Developer or against any other guarantor, endorser or co- signor, and any right pursuant
to statute or by contract or otherwise to require other guarantors, endorsers or co- signors,
to contribute to or reimburse Guarantor therefor;
Exhibit "G" - 2
V
(e) any defense Guarantor may have based on Civil Code Section 2855,
or otherwise, that any arbitration award rendered against the Developer alone will not be,
or be deemed to be, or be utilized as, an award against Guarantor, or any other guarantor,
endorser or co- signor; and
HAVING BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FOREGOING RIGHTS AND
DEFENSES, GUARANTOR AGREES THAT GUARANTOR SHALL NOT HAVE, AND
GUARANTOR DOES HEREBY WAIVE, ANY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING RIGHTS
AND DEFENSES SET FORTH ABOVE.
6. No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any
act or conduct on the part of Agency, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or
to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing; and every right of setoff and lien shall
continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or
released by an instrument in writing executed by Agency.
7. In the event of litigation for the enforcement of this Guarantee, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to costs including reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs.
8. This Guarantee shall remain in effect until such time as the obligations
of the Developer under the DDA are satisfied in full. At such time as all performance and
financial responsibilities of Developer to Agency have been extinguished, this Guarantee
shall be of no force and effect and shall be delivered to the Guarantor.
9. In all cases where there is but a single Developer or a single Guarantor,
then all words used herein in the plural shall be deemed to have been used in the singular
where the context and construction so require; and when there is more than one Developer
named herein, or when this Guarantee is executed by more than one Guarantor, the word
"Developer" and the word "Guarantor" respectively shall mean all and any one or more of
them.

PERSONAL GUARANTEE OF RALPH AFFAITATI
TO A PUBLIC AGENCY ON BEHALF OF AFFAITATI, LLC,
A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
FOR
OBLIGATION UNDER DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
AND
AFFAITATI LLC A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
1. For valuable consideration, the undersigned RALPH AFFAITATI
(hereinafter called "Guarantor ") unconditionally guarantees the performance of, and
promises to pay to the REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO (hereinafter called "Agency "), or order, on demand, in lawful money of the
United States, any and all indebtedness of, AFFAITATI LLC, a California limited liability
company , (hereinafter called "Developer ") to Agency. The word "indebtedness" is used
herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts,
obligations, and liabilities of Developer, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or
created, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due,
absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and
whether Developer may be liable individually or jointly with others.
2. The Agency has approved at a duly called and held meeting of the
Agency on November 16, 1998 (the "Meeting ") the transfer of certain property as described
in that certain Disposition and Development Agreement dated as of February 15, 1999
between the Agency and Developer (the "DDA "). The obligations of Developer under the
DDA shall be secured by this guarantee (this "Guarantee "), executed by Guarantor. This
is a continuing guarantee relating to any indebtedness, including that arising under
successive transactions which shall either continue the indebtedness or from time to time
renew it after it has been satisfied. This Guarantee shall not apply to any indebtedness
created after actual receipt by Agency of written notice of its revocation as to future
transactions. Any payment by Guarantor shall not reduce its maximum obligation
hereunder unless written notice to that effect be actually received by Agency at or prior to
the time of such payment and agreed to in writing by Agency.
3. The obligations hereunder are joint and several, and independent of
the obligations of Developer, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Developer or whether
Developer be joined in any such action or actions.
4. Guarantor authorizes Agency, upon written notice or demand and
without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend,
accelerate, or otherwise change the time for performance, or otherwise change the terms
of the indebtedness or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate or rates
of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guarantee or the
indebtedness guaranteed, and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such security;
(c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agency in its
discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers
or guarantors. Agency may without notice assign this Guarantee in whole or in part.
5. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses
which at any time may be available to it or Developer by virtue of any statute of limitations.
Guarantor waives any right to raise as a defense to the enforcement of this Guarantee any
defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Developer or by reason of
the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liabilities of Developer and further waives
the right to interpose any counterclaim or setoff of any nature. Guarantor also waives all
rights of subrogation against Developer until all obligations, whether or not subject to this
Guarantee, are satisfied in full. Guarantor further waives notice of default by Developer,
notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, presentments, notices of protest and notices of
every kind and nature including those of any action or nonaction on the part of Developer
or the Agency.
Specifically, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor may have certain rights
under applicable law which, if not waived by Guarantor as hereinafter provided, might
provide Guarantor with defenses against Guarantor's liability under this Guarantee under
certain circumstances, including, without limitation,
(a) any defense Guarantor may have pursuant to Civil Code Section 2810,
or otherwise, based upon (i) the cessation of liability on the part of Developer at any time
after the DDA is executed and delivered, or (ii) any other disability or defense of Developer
or any other guarantor, whatever the cause, whether by operation of law or otherwise;
(b) any right Guarantor may have pursuant to Civil Code Section 2825, or
otherwise, to be exonerated by any discharge of the Developer from liability under the DDA
by operation of law, even without intervention or omission on the part of Agency;
(c) any right Guarantor may have pursuant to Civil Code Section 2845, or
otherwise, to require Agency to proceed against Developer, or any other guarantor,
endorser, co- signor or other person, or to pursue or to refrain from pursuing any other
remedy in Agency's power whatsoever, including without limitation, any remedy which
Guarantor cannot pursue or which would lighten Guarantor's burden, and the right to be
exonerated to the extent Guarantor is prejudiced by any failure by Agency to do so;
(d) until the obligation under the DDA is fully satisfied, any right of
reimbursement or subrogation Guarantor may have pursuant to Sections 2847 and 2848,
or otherwise, or any right to otherwise enforce any remedy which Agency has against the
Developer or against any other guarantor, endorser or co- signor, and any right pursuant
to statute or by contract or otherwise to require other guarantors, endorsers or co- signors,
to contribute to or reimburse Guarantor therefor;
2
(e) any defense Guarantor may have based on Civil Code Section 2855,
or otherwise, that any arbitration award rendered against the Developer alone will not be,
or be deemed to be, or be utilized as, an award against Guarantor, or any other guarantor,
endorser or co- signor; and
HAVING BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FOREGOING RIGHTS AND
DEFENSES, GUARANTOR AGREES THAT GUARANTOR SHALL NOT HAVE, AND
GUARANTOR DOES HEREBY WAIVE, ANY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING RIGHTS
AND DEFENSES SET FORTH ABOVE.
6. No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any
act or conduct on the part of Agency, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or
to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing; and every right of setoff and lien shall
continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or
released by an instrument in writing executed by Agency.
7. In the event of litigation for the enforcement of this Guarantee, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to costs including reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs.
8. This Guarantee shall remain in effect until such time as the obligations
of the Developer under the DDA are satisfied in full. At such time as all performance and
financial responsibilities of Developer to Agency have been extinguished, this Guarantee
shall be of no force and effect and shall be delivered to the Guarantor.
9. In all cases where there is but a single Developer or a single Guarantor,
then all words used herein in the plural shall be deemed to have been used in the singular
where the context and construction so require; and when there is more than one Developer
named herein, or when this Guarantee is executed by more than one Guarantor, the word
"Developer" and the word "Guarantor" respectively shall mean all and any one or more of
them.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Guarantor has executed this
Guarantee as of February 15, 1999.
GUARANTOR
i , as the wife of Ralph Affaitati, hereby
expressly guarantee the obligations of Affaitati, LLC, a California Limited Liability
Company, and I jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of Ralph Affaitati, a married
man. I, the undersigned, as a married woman executing this Guarantee, hereby expressly
agree that recourse may be had against my separate property and community property for
all my obligations under this Guarantee.

TO: MELANIE MILLER, SENIOR SECRETARY
FROM: JOHN HOEGER, PROJECT MANAGER
SUBJECT: INS BUILDING DOCUMENTS
DATE: 05/03/99
CC: RACHEL CLARK, SANDRA MEDINA, GARY VAN OSDEL, AND RON WINKLER
Melanie — I received your memo of April 28 and understand why you would like original
documents for your records. There are two general principals at work in the current situation.
The first is that the DDA you received (with unexecuted exhibits) is the original of the document
the Mayor and Common Council approved. There is, for example, an Exhibit F that is the form of
an anticipated Certificate of Completion. The Mayor and Common Council approved this form for
use when and if such a certificate is issued. The actual certificate does not exist now and it will not
exist until after the building is completed. Moreover, when it does come into existence, it may or may
not be worded the same as the exhibit because the DDA allows changes and modifications.
As another example, the Mayor and Common Council approved the form for the grant deed in
Exhibit D but not the actual Grant Deed, itself. The real Grant Deed is different, if for no other
reason than the fact that it does not say "Exhibit D" on its face. It is normal for other changes in a
deed to be made as escrow proceeds.
You have an original copy of the document the Mayor and Council approved although you do
not have all of the documents necessary to complete the transaction. I think this is probably normal.
The necessary documents include letters, checks, affidavits, instructions, and other contractual
documents not ordinarily sent to your office.
Second, most of the documents you list are essentially negotiable instruments which have been
placed with a fiduciary third party to be held in escrow until such time as the Agency or developer
have the right to possession. The Agency (and thus the City Clerk) does not have a right to hold
Affaitati's Quitclaim Deed (Schedule 1) or his Personal Guarantee (Exhibit G) at this time just as
Affaitati does not have a right to the Agency's Grant Deed (Exhibit D) or its Assignment of Lease
(Exhibit C). These documents are held by a neutral third party until all of the preconditions for the
close of escrow have been met and the documents will then be recorded and /or released.
The general instructions regarding placement of documents into escrow are in Section 2.07 of
the DDA. It specifies that these documents are to be placed with the escrow agent upon execution.
The general requirements for close of escrow are in Sections 2.02 and 2.06. These two sections
include specific instructions for the documents shown in form by Exhibits D, F, G, H, and I. We do
not want to release the document that comes from Exhibit C until escrow is ready to close. The
document from Schedule 1 will not exist until and unless the Default Assignment should someday
become effective (see the wording of Section 1 of Exhibit I).
•
Many times, we execute documents in duplicate originals and provide everyone with an original
copy. That is not appropriate for the documents above because they are negotiable instruments,
something like stock certificates or personal checks. You would not make duplicate original copies of
an individual stock certificate because that would be counterfeiting the original. You would not sign
duplicate copies of your check to your mortgage company because someone else might cash one of
them and that could debit your account twice for the same transaction. So it can be with deeds,
assignments, guarantees and other instruments.
For example, two or more deeds to the same property in different hands could confuse the chain
of title. To avoid that, the original document is placed in an escrow and held until the conditions for
closing are met. Then the original of each document is recorded or released to the appropriate party.
In a similar way, documents granting powers to the other party are not released until everything is
satisfied.
Meanwhile I have certified to your office in my memo of April 8, 1999, that you have received
copies of the documents we have submitted to escrow. Affaitati will submit others and we will all
receive the originals to which we are entitled after escrow closes and recorded documents are
returned.
I hope that this has helped. Please discuss this with Rachael Clark and Huston Carlyle. I will be
glad to work on it further with you if you continue to have questions or need additional information.

The City Clerk's Office is in receipt of the documents transmitted pursuant to your memorandum of April 8,
1999 regarding the INS Office Building Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) on which action
was taken by the Mayor and Common Council on November 23, 1998, Item #R3.
As you know it is the policy of the City Clerk's Office to retain the originals for any documents adopted by
the Mavor and Common Council. As this item had both a City Resolution adopted (Resolution 98 -326) and
a Community Development Commission Resolution adopted (Resolution 5559) some of the documents you
forwarded to us are not originals.
I understand that in some cases you must retain originals, and we can certainly accept copies if they are
certified copies.
Following is a listing of the documents we have and an explanation as to whether we need certified copies
to replace the copies we currently have.

Honorable Esther Estrada, Council Member
Honorable Susan Lien, Council Member
Honorable Frank Schnetz, Council Member
Honorable Jerry Devlin, Council Member
Honorable Betty Anderson, Council Member
Honorable Norine Miller, Council Member
Honorable Mayor and Common Council:
Today I am presenting the terms of an agreement for the development of the INS building that
was reached on October 8, among myself, Mayor Valles and Gary Van Osdel, EDA Director.
At your October 5 council meeting, the INS building project was discussed in closed session.
On October 6, I received a call from Mr. Van Osdel requesting a meeting. Our meeting took
place the same day at 10:00 a.m. at his office. Mr. Van Osdel expressed to me the concerns
of the Mayor and Common Council about the financial feasibility of the project and advised me
that the EDA had contracted with a highly respected local company to confirm that the EDA's
estimated construction cost was gravely underestimated. I concurred that the Agency's estimated
construction cost was underestimated and also told Mr. Van Osdel that the construction cost
estimate in my independent proposal to the General Services Administration was, in fact, in line
with the estimate of the local company.
Mr. Van Osdel informed me that in the October 5 closed session, he had been instructed by the
Mayor and Common Council to contact me about my position as an independent bidder on the
INS building and, particularly, whether I was in second position. If I had been able to confirm
that I was in second position at that time, Mr. Van Osdel told me that the EDA would withdraw
from the process. I could not give Mr. Van Osdel 100% assurance that I was in second position
but I was able to give him strong assurances that I was, based on ongoing conversations with
GSA, wherein I was told not to put any of my paper work away or release any options on my
site. Although the EDA was the successful bidder, I was told that GSA felt that the EDA had
been unresponsive. The same sentiments had been relayed to a Council Member.
Mr. Van Osdel asked me, "what would you do if you were in my shoes ?" I answered that "I
would have a heart-to -heart talk with GSA about the reasons you feel the EDA cannot perform
to their commitment and if there was a way to determine with GSA whether another developer
in San Bernardino is in second position ". I offered to arrange a phone call with GSA to obtain
more information and he asked me to do so.
Honorable Judith Valles, Mayor
Honorable Members of the Common Council
November 23, 1998
Page 2
On October 6, I called GSA and spoke with Rafael Narvaez (Realty Specialist with GSA in
charge of the INS project). Rafael would not divulge any information about other offers, but
reiterated that the EDA had not met any of the conditions of the 60 -day letter of intent which
awarded the project to the EDA. I asked Rafael if he would agree to a conference call with Mr.
Van Osdel, also involving the regional director, to further discuss whether the second bidder was
a San Bernardino developer. I did not know the outcome of the conference call until Mr. Van
Osdel phoned to inform me that the EDA had received a 24 -hour letter, requiring the EDA to
either sign a binding lease or relinquish its position, by 3:00 p.m. of October 8. I asked Mr.
Van Osdel to give me until the next morning to see what I could put together. We were both
concerned about the politics of this high - profile project and the effects it could have on the City,
the Mayor, Common Council and the EDA. Mr. Van Osdel, EDA counsel Tim Sabo and I met
in Mr. Van Osdel's office on October 9 at 1:30 p.m. and I presented an offer based on what I
knew about the project but also taking into consideration what I did not know about the EDA's
site and any conditions peculiar to that site.
My offer was a follows:
1. I would relinquish my independent position as a bidder for the INS project and commit
a company I control to performance of the EDA proposal.
2. My company would develop, at its sole cost, a Class -A building and appurtenances,
which would meet the requirements of GSA.
3. The EDA would convey the land to my company at no initial cost and would assist my
company in acquiring an adjacent parcel, if necessary, to build the building GSA requires
and to accommodate additional parking spaces, if required.
4. The EDA would reimburse my company for the cost to remediate any contamination on
the land so that the land would be buildable.
5. My company would take over the EDA's position in the development process of the INS
building.
6. The EDA would be reimbursed dollar -for- dollar for its cost upon permanent financing
of the completed building.
Mr. Van Osdel and Mr. Sabo seemed elated that I was providing an opportunity to remove the
EDA from a difficult situation. By 2:30 p.m. on the same day, Mayor Valles, Terry Rubi, Mr.
Van Osdel, Mr. Sabo and myself met at the Mayor's office and Mr. Van Osdel presented the
solution to the INS building problem. Mr. Sabo supported the proposal from a legal standpoint
and Mayor Valles said, "this is terrific, where do I sign ?" and she proceeded to sign the binding
INS lease. The lease for the INS building was signed by the Mayor and faxed to GSA at 2:55
p.m. on October 9.
Honorable Judith Valles, Mayor
Honorable Members of the Common Council
November 23, 1998

Please keep in mind that, by becoming involved with the EDA in the INS project and in reliance
on the mutual commitments of the EDA and myself, I relinquished my second position as an
independent bidder of the INS building project. At that time, my main concern was to keep the
INS building in San Bernardino. When we walked out of the Mayor's office, no other proposal
or developer was involved. As far as I was concerned, the EDA and I had mutually committed
ourselves to the project. Mr. Sabo made a copy of the complete INS building lease for my use
in proceeding with all of the necessary steps to satisfy the 60 -day letter of intent, which included
starting the architectural, engineering, mechanical and all other consultants needed for the
development. I immediately started these consultants working on the project.
On October 9, my attorney Mark Ostoich and Tim Sabo discussed the details of the agreement
and Mark was advised that the principal terms of the agreement were being put into a document.
I also called Rafael at GSA to inform him that the EDA would be entering into a DDA with me
and that GSA should feel secure that the project would be moving in the right direction from
now on. Rafael then asked, "Ralph, why did you do that ?" (he perceived that I would have a
better economic position if the EDA failed to proceed). I responded with the same answer I
gave the Mayor and Mr. Van Osdel - i.e., the City, the Mayor, the Common Council and the
EDA have too much at stake with this high - profile project and cannot withdraw. I was thinking
of the City of San Bernardino first.
On October 12, I was told by EDA that an unsolicited proposal for the INS building project was
presented in closed session at the EDA committee meeting on October 12. I was also told that,
in that meeting, EDA staff was directed to stop any further discussions with me or anyone else,
and to undertake a formal interview process to obtain additional proposals.
On October 19, the EDA commission approved a formal interview process. Shortly after that,
Mr. Van Osdel advised my attorney that a written proposal from me was required by 3:00 p.m.
that afternoon. Before I agreed to submit a proposal, I wanted to talk with Mr. Van Osdel to
ask him what this was all about. Mr. Van Osdel advised me to, "listen to my attorney and don't
worry", because the proposal was no big deal. I appreciated his sincerity and instructed my
attorney to submit in writing the same deal points that were agreed to at the October 9 meeting
with the Mayor. My interview date was October 22 at 11:00 a.m. Prior to October 22, I
contacted Mr. Van Osdel regarding what he wanted me to bring to the interview and specifically
asked if he wanted me to bring a resume of past GSA projects in San Bernardino and referral
contacts. He said it would be a good idea, but was not a "big deal ".
The interview took 30 to 35 minutes. Our discussion focused on my experience and general
knowledge of the INS project and the problems of the EDA site. Specifically, we discussed the
location of utility vaults and utility easements and whether the site would support enough parking
for the building and required expansion (although the required building is approximately 44,000
square feet, the GSA lease provides that GSA has the right to expand by an additional 20%).
Although I was prepared to submit information concerning my involvement with other GSA
buildings (see attached list - I manage the GSA portfolio of this firm), Mr. Van Osdel did not
seem that interested in this information.
Honorable Judith Valles, Mayor
Honorable Members of the Common Council
November 23, 1998
Page 4
Not receiving any word from the EDA regarding the results of the interview, on Tuesday,
October 27, I called Mr. Van Osdel and left a message on his voice mail asking him what has
happened at the interviews. I received a call that same afternoon from Ron Winkler and was
told that I wasn't the successful developer and that the EDA was going forward with someone
else. By Wednesday, October 28, the word on the street was that Vanir Development was the
new developer for the project. This surprised me, because Vanir Development had made the
same efforts to attempt to prevent me from becoming the successful developer of the Social
Security office building at Sixth and Arrowhead.
After learning this information, I requested a meeting with the Mayor and, on November 5, I
met with Mayor Valles, Chief of Staff Terry Rubi, my attorney Mark Ostoich and my
Councilman Frank Schnetz. Mayor Valles and Terry Rubi were as surprised as I was about the
selection of Vanir Development. The Mayor said "Ralph, I would not have signed the lease
without your commitment, you have been wronged, you have the right to be upset, and we need
to give Mr. Van Osdel a call. We will get back to you as soon as possible." As of today, I
have not received a phone call from the Mayor's office.
I got involved with this situation to:
• Get the City and the EDA out of a jam.
• Give the Mayor, the Common Council and the EDA the credit for a first -class project.
• Keep GSA satisfied with our City and provide a professional environment for GSA to do
business in.
• To make a fair return on my investment and risk.
I am extremely disappointed about what has happened and the direction this project seems to be
going. However, with the additional information I have developed about the EDA site over the
past 30 days, I am hereby making a proposal along the same lines as the Vanir Development
proposal, but with greater security for the City and the EDA. My new proposal is as follows:
1. My company, Affaitati LLC, will deposit $208,350 as a deposit against the purchase
price of the land (the EDA cost in the land). On completion of development, the land
will be appraised and Affaitati LLC will either increase the $208,350 deposit or decrease
the $208,350 deposit, to match the appraised value, and the appraised value will be
released to the EDA in cash at that time.
2. Affaitati LLC will develop he project at its sole cost (including an approximatel 52,000
P P J
square foot building), except as provided below.
Afaitat LLC will remediae 3. � on the land,[ the cost of the EDA d
the EDA will indemnify Affaitati LLC for any liability related to the contaminatio

Hcnorable Members of the Common Council
November 23, 1998

4. Affaitati LLC will pay all design and engineering costs and all permit and development
impact fees.
5. I will personally guaranty the obligations of Affaitati LLC.
Based on EDA's staff's methodology in analyzing the Vanir Development proposal, under my
proposal, the EDA will receive revenues in excess of the revenues presented in the staff report
for the Vanir Development proposal:
Land Purchase Deposit $208,350
Land Sale Proceeds TBD
NPV Tax Increment Revenues $850,000
Utility Tax Revenues $201,600
Total Agency Revenues $1,259,950
My proposal is superior to the Vanir Development proposal and I urge you to direct EDA staff
to negotiate a DDA with my company on the above - mentioned terms.
I am including with this letter a letter from my bank, Business Bank of California, a letter from
the Social Security Administration, commenting on my performance on the Social Security office
at Sixth and Arrowhead, and a letter from my architect, Gary Miller.
I am here this morning with my attorney and architect, who will be available to answer any
questions you might have regarding my proposal and qualifications.

Dear Mayor Valles,
I am, long overdue to share with the city my praise and appreciation for Ralph Affaitati for
the building he provided us last year. We are blessed with what I truly believe to be the
Premier Social Security office in the couietry. Numerous visitors from our central and
regional offices have yet to challenge that claim!
'This project resulted from a very lengthy and at Mmes bitter controversy over the location
for our office. As the manager here for over 20 years, in and out of downtown, I know
firsthand the dilezmrnas and difficulties of space procurement in San Bernardino. The
successful completion of our current building was a triumph for all concerned - -SSA, the
General Services Administration, Congressman George Brown's office and, to a great extent,
the City itself. The partnership that developed the anal plans for this space was a model I
hope can be repeated.
The key individual response -ble for the actual delivery of a first -rate federal project is Ralph
Affaitati. The pride Ralph tapes in his home community sbines in the building at Sixth and
,arrowhead. He overcame the uncertainties aud, often, maddening demands of a major
public construction enterprise and gave us a beautiful place for our customers and staff to
do business.
In the year and a half since we took occupancy, Ralph has managed the building in a
conscientious and caring way. His attention to detail allows us to solve problems before they
become serious and he is unfailingly responsive to our needs_
This building is a model for SSA in that it is the first national co- location of our traditionally
separate field office and Hearings Office. This entailed complications that simply don't exist
in the typical SSA space action. I know I speak for our colleagues in the Office of Hearings
11/13/1998 11:36 9093835846 SSA SAN BDO DOG:959 PAGE 022
and A.ppcals when I vouch for the satisfaction we all share in what Affaitati Construction,
the architects, the sub - contractors and others who had a. hand in the building have
accomplished for us.
I expect there will be occasions when ,Ralph will have the opportunity to team with San
Bernardino and I want you and others to know how grateful I am for all he has done to
snake our physical plant a showpiece.
If you or your staff have questions or wish more specifies about our experience, please don't
hesitate to give me a call.
Sincerely,

STAFF REPORT
Council Meeting Date: November 23, 1998
TO: Mayor and Common Council
FROM: City Attorney's Office, City Clerk's Office
DATE: November 18, 1998
AGENDA: November 23, 1998
On January 6, 1998, United States District Court Judge Lawrence K. Karlton issued a
preliminary injunction that barred the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) from enforcing
the provisions of Proposition 208 until the California Supreme Court had an opportunity to review
the measure and the matter was returned to Judge Karlton for final disposition.
The FPPC filed a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal on February 3, 1998,
challenging all parts of Judge Karlton's order, including his findings on the unconstitutionality of the
contribution and spending limits. Judge Karlton has since issued a stay of the part of his order
requiring the FPPC to file an original petition in the California Supreme Court.
In a 1998 Addendum to Campaign Manuals issued by the FPPC, the Commission has
indicated that advice letters concerning Proposition 208 provisions are suspended while the
preliminary injunction remains in effect. Given the uncertainty of the ultimate outcome of the appeal
and final disposition of the subject case, and the confusion that surrounds the validity and application
of local ordinances even though Judge Karlton did not directly rule on them, the FPPC has suggested
several different options which local government agencies can exercise, including suspension of such
ordinances until the subject case has been finally resolved. Given the nearness of the upcoming
Special Election now set for February 2, 1999, the City Attorney's Office and the City Clerk's Office
feels that suspension of the voluntary expenditure ceiling ordinance is a better option to follow at
this time rather than attempting to enforce its provisions or outright repeal.
The case has been fully briefed and is currently set for oral argument in the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeal on December 8, 1998 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom No. 1, in San Francisco.
