transmission services.
The relationship between PTOs and the ISO is govemed by a Transmission Control Agteement
C'TCA'), which sets forth the specific duties and obligations of all PTOs. The TCA requires all
PTOS to file a Transmission owner Tariff ('To Tariff') with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC").
pursuant to Section 5.2 of the TO Tarifl Vemon updates its Transmission Revenue Balancing

Account Adjustment ('TRBAA) annually. The TRBAA is a tariff mechanism desigrred to
ensure that all Transmission Revenue Credits ("TRCs") are flowed through to ISO open access
transmission taritr (*ISo Tariff') customers via annual update filings at the FERC by PTOs.
Appendix F, Schedule 3, Section 6.1(b), of the ISO Tariff describes the annual TRBAA
caliulation as "a dollar amount based on the projected Transmission Revenue Credits as adjusted
for the true up ofthe prior year's difference between projected and actual credits."

CITY OF VERNON PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
REPORT REGARDING THE ESTABLSHMENT OF A NEW
TRANSMISSION REVENUE BALANCING ACCOUNT AOJUSTMENT
FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2018
October 17,2017
The City of Vernon ("Vernon" or "City") is a Scheduling Coordinator and a
Participating Transmission Owner ("PTO") in the California lndependent System
Operator Corporation ('lSO"). To participate in the lSO, PTOs are required to turn
over administrative control of their transmission facilities and entitlements to the lSO.
ln return, the ISO collects revenues for each PTO pursuant to calculations that
reflect the expenses and capital costs incurred by each PTO to provide transmissron
services.
The relationship between PTOs and the ISO is governed by a Transmission Control
Agreement ('TCA") which sets forth the specific duties and obligations of all PTOs.
The TCA requires all PTOs to file a Transmission Owner Tariff ("TO Tariff') with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC").
Pursuant to Section 5.2 of the TO Tariff, Vernon updates its Transmission Revenue
Balancing Account Adjustment (.TRBAA") annually. The TRBAA is a tariff
mechanism designed to ensure that all Transmission Revenue Credits ("TRCs") are
flowed through to ISO open access transmission tariff ("lSO Tariffl') customers via
annual update filings at the FERC by PTOs. Appendix F, Schedule 3, Section
6. 1(b), of the ISO Tariff describes the annual TRBAA calculation as "a dollar amount
based on the projected Transmission Revenue Credits as adjusted for the true up of
the prior year's difference between projected and actual credits." This Report
supports the establishment of a new TRBAA based on the requirements of the TO
Tariff and the ISO Tariff.
SUMMARY
Section 5.2 of the Vernon TO Tariff identifies the items to be reflected in the TRBAA
TRBAA Report 2018
Page2 of 5
and sets forth the procedure for revising the Transmission Revenue Balancing
Account ('TRBA) on an annual basis, as follows:
Transmission Revenue Balancing Account Adjustment
The Participating TO shall maintain a TRBA that will ensure that all
Transmission Revenue Credits and the refunds, specified in Sections 6
and 8 of Appendix F, Schedule 3 of the ISO Tariff, flow through to
transmission customers.
The TRBAAshall beequal to: TRBAA = TRCr + TRCI+ l.
TRCI = The balance representing the prior period difference between
the projected Transmisslon Revenue Credits and the actual credits.
TRCr = The forecast of Transmission Revenue Credits for the
following calendar year.
| = The interest balance for the TRBA, which shall be calculated using
the interest rate pursuant to Section 35.19(a) of FERC's regulations
underthe Federal PowerAct (18 C.F.R. $ 35.19(a)). lnterestshall be
calculated based on the average TRBA principal balance each month,
compounded quarterly.
Transmission Revenue Credits ("TRCs") are defined in Section 3.12 of the current
Vernon TO Tariff as follows:
3.12 Transmission Revenue Credit: The sum of all revenues received by
the Participating TO from the ISO for Wheeling service.
The TRBAA is based on the balance in the TRBA as of September 30 of the current
year and a forecast of the TRCs expected to be received in the following year. A
summary of the elements of the Vernon TRBAA proposed to be effective January 1,
2018 is shown in Exhibit 1. lt shows that the balance in the Vernon TRBA as of
5.2
TRBAA Report 2018
Page 3 of5
September 30,2017, which reflects services rendered through June 30, 2017, is a
cl.edit of $24,776, including interest. TRCs are projected to be a credit of $2,890.
Taken together, these items sum up to a TRBAA to be effective for the twelve
months starting January 1 , 2018 of a credit, or negative, balance of $27 ,667 .
All of the Vernon transmission entitlements that are reflected in Vernon's
transmission rates and the TRBAA are high voltage facilities. Therefore, there ls no
need to allocate TRCs or other TRBAA components between high voltage and low
voltage rates.
CALCULATION OF THE NEW TRBAA
The TRBAA is equal to the sum of: TRCr + TRCI + l.
The balance in the TRBA of a credit of $35,537 as of Septembet 30,2017
represents the sum of the TRCI and the I components.
The TRCI Component of Vernon's TRBAA
TRCI represents a balance that reflects the difference for the prlor period between
the projected TRCs and the actual credits. The prior period in this case is the
twelve-month period starting October 1,2016 and ending September 30,2017.
A summary of the determination of the September 30,2017 balance in the Vernon
TRBA is shown in Exhibit 2. The TRCrcomponent reflects 1) the previously
projected 2016 TRCs for Vernon of $411 or $34.25 per month, for the months
October through December 2016, and 2) projected 2017 TRCs of $47,616 or $3,968
per month, for the months January through September 2017-both elements as
reflected on Line No. 2 of Exhibit 2. Adjustments for actual payable TRCs reflecting
high voltage wheeling revenues payable to the TO (i.e., Vernon) are reflected in Line
3 of Exhibit 2. Distribution of non-refundable interconnection amounts (further
discussed below) are reflected in Line 4 of Exhibit 2 and produce the under (over)
collection figures for the monthly payable TRC balances reflected in Line 5 of Exhibit
2. The monthly balances are carried forward from month to month in Line 6 of
Exhibit 2. lnterest is calculated monthly (the I component) on the average monthly
TRBAA Report 2018
Page 4 of 5
balance and is compounded quarterly into the monthly payable TRC balances
pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Vernon TO Tariff. The interest calculation for payable
TRC balances is shown in Lines 7-9 of Exhibit 2. The TRBA balance on September
30,2017 is shown in Line 13 of Exhibit 2.
The I (lnterest) Component of Vernon's TRBAA
As discussed above, the I component reflects interest on payable balances and on
payments for prior year TRCs. As provided in Section 5.2 of Vernon's TO Tariff,
monthly interest carrying costs are calculated using the 18 C.F.R. S 35.19(a) interest
rates and calculation method. These interest rates are published by FERC and
reflect the prime rate values published in the Federal Reserve Bank's "Selected
lnterest Rates."
The calculation of interest is reflected in Exhibit 2 and is included as an integral part
of the calculation of the TRBA balance on September 30,2017. lt is not reflected as
a separate line item in Exhibit 1
The TRCr Component of Vernon's TRBAA
The TRCr component of Vernon's TRBAA stands for the forecast of TRCs for the
following calendar year, in this case 2018. These forecast TRCs reflect projected
wheeling revenues.
Wheeling revenues, which correspond to ISO Charge Type 384, are projected to be
a credit of $2,890.28, as shown in Exhibit 3.
These projections are based on the accruals for services provided during the twelve-
month period ending June 30,2017, which are reflected in the ISO's invoices to
Vernon through September 30,2017. A summary of the monthly accruals for the
twelve months ending September 30,2017 is shown in Exhibit 4.
TRBAA Report 2018
Page 5 of5
Distribution of Non.Refundable lnterconnection Amounts
Under Section 7.6 of Appendix DD of the ISO Tariff, "Application of Non-Refundable
Amounts," "[t]he CAISO shall calculate and disburse available non-refundable
interconnection study deposits and interconnection financial security in conjunction
with the annual reassessment performed during the year that the withdrawal period
ends." As a Participating Transmission Owner, Vernon received a share of the non-
refundable interconnection financial security and study deposit amounts for projects
withdrawn from January 1,2013 through December 31, 2016. ln particular, Vernon
received $10,089.32 in the month of January 2017 and $10,742.50 in the month of
September 2017 for pro,lects withdrawn from January 1 , 2013 through December 31 ,
2016.
ln order to distribute those funds to its ratepayers through its TRBM mechanism in
accordance with Section 7.6 (c) of Appendix DD, Vernon has added Line 4 to the
spreadsheet it uses to calculate its TRBAA, Exhibit 2 to this report. That line is
entitled "Distribution of Non-Refundable lnterconnection Amounts" and tracks funds
distributed by the ISO from month to month.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Approve the newly calculated TRBAA of a negative $38,427,
2. Approve replacing the existing TRBAA of negative $47,616 with the new
TRBAA for 2018 of a negative $38,427.
3. Approve the attached revised Appendix I of Vernon's TO Tariff reflecting the
TRBAA of negative $38,427.
4. Authorize outside counsel to submit Vernon's TRBAA and supporting
documentation, such as this Report and the City Council Resolution
approving the new TRBAA to FERC.

RE:
October 17.-2011
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Kelly Nguyen, General Manager of Public Ufliries 4^,
A Resolution Adopting a New Transmission Revenue Requirement for 2018
in Accordance with Vernon's Transmission Owner Tariff and Providing for
Tariff Sheet Changes to Implement the Adiustment
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from Califomia Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA) review, because it is a fiscal and administrative activity that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not
constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Conduct a Public Hearing; and
c. Adopt a resolution adopting a new transmission revenue requirement for 2018 in
accordance with Vemon's Transmission Owner Tariff and providing for tariff sheet
changes to implement the adjustnent.
Backsround
The City of Vemon is a Scheduling Coordinator and a Participating Transmission Owner
(..PTO") in the Califomia lndependent System Operator Corporation C'ISO"). To participate in
the ISO, PTOs are required to tum over administrative control of their tr*ansmission facilities and
entitlements to the ISo. ln return, the ISO collects revenues for each PTO pursuant to
calculations that reflect the expenses and capital costs incurred by each PTO to provide
u-ansmission services. These calculations are known as Transmission Revenue Requirements
("TRRs").
The relationship between PTOs and the ISO is govemed by a Transmission Control Agreement
C.TCA'), which sets forth specific duties and obligations of all PTOs. The TCA requires all
PTOs to file a Transmission owner Taritr c'To Tariff') and TRR with the Federal Energy
Regulatory commission ('FERC'). The TCA further requires all PTos to file any changes in
their TRRs with FERC. Each PTO must also include in its TO Tariff its Gross Load which the
ISO uses to calculate its grid-wide Transmission Access charge ('TAC") rates, and which is
related to the City's ability to recover its full TRR.
TRANSMISSION REVENUE REQUREMENT
At present, the City's high voltage transmission assets consist of three long-term contracts
(known as "existing transmission contracts" or "ETCs") which provide the City with dedicated
access to high voltage transmission facilities owned by other entities. Specifically, the Ciry has
contractual entitlements to utilize transmission assets pursuant to one long-term transmission
contract with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power ('LADWP) and two long-term
transmission contracts with Southem Califomia Edison ("SCE"). The ETCs with SCE consist of
one (the..SCE Victorville-Lugo ETC" described in SCE's FERC Rate Schedule 360) providing
l1 MW of transmission capacity along the path between the Victorville-Lugo midpoint and the
point of interconnection with the City's intemal transmission system (the "City Gate"), and one
itt"..SCE Mead ETC,,described in SCE's FERC Rate Schedule 207) providing 26 MW of
transmission capacity along the path between the Mead 230 substation and the City Gate.
The costs of these ETCs make up the majority of the costs recovered through the city's TRR.
Until recently, for each ofthe ETCs, the City paid the owner ofthe transmission facilities a fixed
rate which was specific to the transmission path provided under each ETC'
The attached TRR Report supports the establishment ofa new transmission revenue requirement
associated with Vemon's high voltage entitlements.
GROSS LOAI)
Gross Load is the Ciry's aggregate annual demand for electricity. The Public Utilities
Department calculates and projects Gross Load as palt of its normal operations. Since 20l2,the
Gross Ioad stated in the Ciry's TO Tariff has been 1,181,728 MWh, a figure based on the City's
2010 actual load data. The city's Gross Load has declined since 2010. ln 2016, the city's
Gross Load, as measured by ISO-certified revenue qualiry meters, was 1,154,492 MWh'
This decline in Gross Load means the city will not recover from the ISO the full amount of its
TRR unless its stated TO Tariff Gross Load is revised to reflect the City's actual load. Staff
recommends submitting an amended version of the City's Appendix I to its TO Tariff stating the
City's Gross Load for)018 at 1,154,492 MWh, in accordance with a 2016 test year (the data
supporting the calculation of this figure is attached hereto as Exhibit 2)'
Fiscal Imoact
The cost of Existing Transmission Service contracts (ETC) incurred by the city will be
recovered.

EXHIBIT B
CITY OF VERNON PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
REPORT REGARDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW GROSS LOAD AND A
REVISED NEW TRANSMISSION REVENUE REQUIREMENT ASSOCIATED WITH
VERNON'S HIGH VOLTAGE ENTITLEMENTS
October 17,2017
The City of Vernon ("Vernon" or "City") is a Scheduling Coordinator and a
Participating Transmission Owner ("PTO") in the California lndependent System
Operator Corporation ("lSO") To participate in the lSO, PTOs are required to turn
over administrative control of their transmission facilities and entitlements to the lSO.
ln return, the ISO collects revenues for each PTO pursuant to calculations that
reflect the expenses and capital costs incurred by each PTO to provide transmission
services. These calculations are known as Transmission Revenue Requirements
("TRRs").
The relationship between PTOs and the ISO is governed by a Transmission Control
Agreement ('TCA"), which sets forth specific duties and obligations of all PTOs. The
TCA requires all PTOs to file a Transmission Owner Tariff ("TO Tariff') and TRR with
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). The TCA further requires all
PTOs to file any changes in their TRRs with FERC. Each PTO must also include in
its TO Tariff its Gross Load which the ISO uses to calculate its grid-wide
Transmission Access Charge ('TAC") rates, and which is related to the City's ability
to recover its full TRR.
TRANSMISSION REVENUE REQUIREMENT
At present, the City's high voltage transmission assets consist of three long-term
contracts (known as "existing transmission contracts" or "ETCs") which provlde the
City with dedicated access to high voltage transmission facilities owned by other
entities. Specifically, the City has contractual entitlements to utilize transmission
assets pursuant to one longterm transmission contract with the Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power ('LADWP') and two long-term transmission
contracts with Southern Californla Edison ("SCE"). The ETCs with SCE consist of
one (the "SCE Victorville-Lugo ETC" described in SCE's FERC Rate Schedule 360)
TRR Report 2018
Page 2 of 6
providing 11 MW of transmission capacity along the path between the Victorville-
Lugo midpoint and the point of interconnection with the City's internal transmission
system (the "City Gate"), and one (the "SCE Mead ETC" described in SCE's FERC
Rate Schedule 207) providing 26 MW of transmission capacity along the path
between the Mead 230 substation and the City Gate.
The costs of these ETCs make up the majority of the costs recovered through the
City's TRR. Until recently, for each of the ETCs, the City paid the owner of the
transmission facilities a fixed rate which was specific to the transmission path
provided under each ETC.
On August 1, 2008, SCE proposed to increase its TRR and associated rates in
FERC Docket No. ER08-1343-000. ln a related filing submitted in FERC Docket No.
ER08-1353-000, SCE proposed to transition both of its ETCs with Vernon from their
current, fixed "path-specific" rates to a so-called "postage stamp" rate methodology
which reflects the blended rate which SCE charges the ISO pursuant to its own
TRRs for the actual usage of all of SCE's transmission facilities by customers of the
ISO (the'HVECAC Rate"). The HVECAC Rate that SCE proposed in its TO Tariff is
derived from SCE's TRR and, therefore, will change each time SCE amends its
TRR.
On September 30, 2008, FERC accepted, subject to refund and hearing and
settlement procedures, SCE's proposed revisions to its TO Tariff to transition the
negotiated path-specific rates set forth in the SCE Vlctorville-Lugo ETC and the SCE
Mead ETC to the uniform HVECAC Rate, and thus the City's costs under those
ETCs will vary proportionately with any changes in SCE's TRR.
The City reached a settlement agreement (the "SCE Settlement") with SCE to
amend the SCE Victorville-Lugo ETC and the SCE Mead ETC to fully transition the
path-specific rates set forth in those ETCs to SCE's HVECAC Rate after a phase-in
period that began on August 1, 2009, during which the City's path-specific rates in
those ETCs have been gradually stepped-up under incrementally increasing fixed
TRR Report 2018
Page 3 of 6
rates (the "Phase-ln Rates") until the path-specific rates are equal to the HVECAC
Rate as of January 1,2013. FERC approved the SCE Settlement pursuant to an
order issued September 1 1 , 2009, 128 FERC 1161 , 237 (2009), in FERC Docket
Nos. ER08-1 343-000, ER08-1 353-000, ER09-1 87-000, ER09-1 87-001, EL09-1 9-
000, and ER09-446-000 ("SCE Settlement Order").
On behalf of the City, The Brattle Group, an experienced utilities consulting firm,
developed a TRR tracking mechanism clause for the City's TRR ("ETC Adjustment
Clause"), which allows the City's TRR to be adjusted annually, effective January 1 of
each year, to reflect changes in the City's transmission expenses associated with
any changes implemented by SCE in the HVECAC Rate associated with the SCE
Victorville-Lugo ETC and the SCE Mead ETC.
On the basis of The Brattle Group's analysis and evidence from City staff, which was
considered during a public meeting of the City Council held on July 13, 2009, the
City, on July 15, 2009 ("July 15 FERC Filing"), filed with FERC the proposed (i)
revisions to its TO Tariff proposing the City's stated TRRs for each of the years 2010
lo 2012, which dollar amounts were also included in the SCE Settlement ("TO Tarifi
Revisions") and (ii) the ETC Adjustment Clause tracking mechanism.
The July 15 FERC Filing acknowledged that, to the extent that the SCE Settlement
was accepted, because the stated Phase-ln Rates would be fixed, the ETC
Adjustment Clause for the term of the Phase-ln Rates would be zero.
FERC approved the City's July 15 FERC Filing, including the TO Tariff Revisions,
the City's proposed calculations of the TRR for years 2010 to 2012, and the City's
request to utilize an ETC Adjustment Clause, in an order issued September 11,
2009, 128 FERC 1[ 61,235 (2009), in FERC Docket No. EL09-64-000 ("TO Tariff
Order"). The City is required under the TO Tariff Order to submit annual filings each
year with FERC reflecting annual modifications to the base TRR of the City.
ln January 2015, the City approved revisions to the template used to calculate the
TRR Report 2018
Page 4 of 6
ETC Adjustment Clause and submitted these revisions to FERC. On April 8,2015,
FERC approved the City's 2015 TRR filing as calculated using the revised ETC
Adjustment Clause template; the City has prepared this year's filing using that
revised template.
CALCULATION OF THE ETC ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE
Section 5.3 of the Vernon TO Tariff identifies the items to be reflected in the ETC
Adjustment. The ETC Adjustment Clause shall be calculated as:
ETC Adjustment = ETCCr+ ETCCI+ l.
ETCCr = The forecast of SCE ETC Cost for the following calendar year
ETCCI = The balance representing the prior period difference between the
projected cost of the SCE ETCs ('SCE ETC Cost") and the actual cost.
| = The interest balance for the ETC, which shall be calculated using the
interest rate pursuant to Section 35.19(a) of FERC's regulations under the
Federal Power Act (18 C.F.R. 35.19(a)). lnterest shall be calculated based
on the average ETC true-up balance each month, compounded quarterly.
A summary of the elements of the Vernon ETC Adjustment Clause proposed to be
effective January 1, 2018 is shown in Exhibit 1 . The ETC Adjustment Clause to be
effectiveforthetwelve months starting January 1,2018 is $2,417,168.
The ETCCr Comoonent
The ETCCr component stands for the forecast of SCE ETC costs for the following
calendar year, in this case 2018. These forecast SCE ETC costs reflect 2018 rates
from Southern California Edison Company's draft FERC Filing, posted on its website
pursuant to its formula rate protocols (approved in FERC Docket No. ER1 1-3697).
That filing is scheduled to be made at FERC, in its final form, in December 2017;
Vernon will true up any differences in its SCE ETC costs when it makes its 2019
TRR Report 2018
Page 5 of6
TRR filing.
The ETCCr for 201 8 SCE ETC costs are projected to be $2,766,120 as shown in
line 8 of Exhibit 1.
The ETCCI Component
ETCCI represents a balance that reflects the difference between prior year forecast
and actual SCE ETC costs. The prior period in this case is the twelve-month period
starting October 1 , 2016 and ending September 30,2017 .
A summary of the determination of the September 30, 2017 balance in the ETC
Adjustment Clause is shown in Exhibit 1 . The ETCCI component reflects 1 ) the
previously projected 2016 SCE ETC costs of $214,600 per month, for the months
October through December 2016 and projected 2017 SCE ETC costs of $225,700
per month, for the months January through September 2017 , 2) aclual2016 SCE
ETC costs of $ 208,680 per month, for the months October through December 2016
and $209,420 per month, for the months January through September 2017 , and 3)
refunds received by the City-all elements as reflected on Line No. 8, 15, and 16 of
Exhibit 1. The net of these elements produce the under (or over) collection figures
reflected in Line 17 of Exhibit 1 . The ending balance is the sum of the beginning
balance on October 1 and the (over)/under collection - both elements as reflected
on Line 1 and 17 of Exhibit 1. The cumulative monthly balances are carried forward
from month to month and the ETCCI component on Septembet 30,2017 of negative
$336,502 is shown in line 19 of Exhibit 1.
The I (lnterest) Component
The lnterest component reflects interest on the difference beMeen prior year
forecast and actual SCE ETC costs. The monthly interest carrying costs are
calculated using the 18 C.F.R. S 35.19(a) interest rates and calculation method.
These interest rates are published by FERC and reflect the prime rate values
published in the Federal Reserve Bank's "Selected lnterest Rates."
TRR Report 2018
Page 6 of 6
lnterest is calculated monthly on the average cumulative monthly balance and is
compounded quarterly. The interest component is negative $12,450, as shown in
Lines 20-24 of Exhibit 1.
GROSS LOAD
Gross Load is the City's aggregate annual demand for electricity. The Public
Utilities Department calculates and projects Gross Load as part of its normal
operations. Since 2012, the Gross Load stated in the City's TO Tariff has been
1,181,728 MWh, a figure based on the City's 2010 actual load data. The City's
Gross Load has declined since 2010. ln 2016, the City's Gross Load, as measured
by ISO-certified revenue quality meters, was 1,154,492 MWh.
This decline in Gross Load means that the City will not recover from the ISO
the full amount of its TRR unless its stated TO Tariff Gross Load is revised to reflect
the City's actual load. Staff recommends submitting an amended version of the
City's Appendix I to its TO Tariff that states the City's Gross Load for 2018 at
1,154,492 MWh, in accordance with a 2016 test year (the data supporting the
calculation of this figure is attached hereto as Exhibit 2).
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Approve the establishment of new Gross Load and the City's revised new
TRR for 20'18 and revised Appendix I to the TO Tariff.
2. Authorize outside counsel to submit the City's TRR, ETC Adjustment Clause
amount, the revised Appendix I to the TO Tariff, and this City Council
Resolution approving the TRR and ETC Adjustment Clause amount to FERC
on behalf of the City of Vernon.

R.E:
October 17,2017
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Carlos R Fandino Jr.,City Administrato " A( tol re I tl
Originator: Diana Figueroa, Administrative Analyst
Approval of Vernon CommUNITY Fund Capital Grant Form Agreement
Recomnendation
A. Find that approval of the Vemon CommUNITY Fund ("VCF") Capital Grant Form
Agreement is exempt from Califomia Environmental Qua.lity Act ("CEQA") review,
because it is an administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical
changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by
CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve of the attached VCF Capital Grant Form Agreement, in substantially the same
form as submitted herewith, for administration of VCF Capital Grants; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator, or his/her designee, to complete, execute, and/or
modi! the form agreement consistent with the direction of the VCF Grant Committee.
Background
As one of the key elements ofthe City's good governance reforms, the City Council created the
Vemon CommUNITY Fund to provide grants to charitable and govemmental entities for
projects and programs that benefit those residing and working in the Vemon area. Given the
exclusively industrial nature of Vemon, the City Council determined that the VCF was in the
best interest of the City and its residents, businesses, and workers.
On February 4,2014, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1218, as amended by Ordinance
No. 1238, to establish the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant Committee ("Grant Committee")
and provide the basic guidelines and operational procedwes for said committee and its offrcers,
including those related to the allocation of funds and the processes for reviewing and ranking
applications and awarding grants. Section 2.167(f) of the Vernon Municipal Code requires all
VCF grant recipients to enter into a written agreement with the City.
Page 1 of2
Capital Grant Form Agreement
The Grant Committee adopted a Capital Grants Program on May 18, 2016 which defined, among
other things, the parameters of the capital award process and procedures for applicans, and
criteria and timeline for awards. At its May 17,2017 meeting, the Grant Committee awarded the
City's first capital grants to the Ciry of Bell and PUENTE Leaming Center, respectively. With a
need to address complexities related to capital-type grants, the Grant Committee also reviewed
and approved a Capital Grant Form Agreement which was modified from the existing form
agrcement used for the issuance of general grant awards.
The VCF Capital Grant Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the capital grant award.
The main components of the agreement can be summarized as follows:
o Amount and purpose(s) ofthe grant
o Grantee Workplan and Phase Budget requirementso Payment procedure. Written reporting requirements during the projecto The renrm ofany unused portion of grant moneyso Promotion and publicity permissions for Grantor and Grantee
Upon award of a capital grant by the Grant Committee, the grant recipient shall be required to
execute a capital gant agreement in substantially the same form as attached hereto. The Capital

Honorable Mayor and City Council
William Fox, Director of Finan ", 'lT
Authorization to Enter into ! Services Agreement with BLX Group LLC (BLX) for
Financial Advisory Services for Fiscal Years 2017 through 2019
Recommendrtion
A. Find that entering into a services agreement with BLX Group LLC (BLX), a registered advisor to
provide financial advisory services is exempt under the Calilornia Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The scope of the work to be performed is a continuing administrative activity that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not
constitute a *project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378. In addition, even if was
determined to be a project, it would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with Section
15061(bX3), the general rule is that CEQA only applies to activities that may have a significant
effect on the environment; and
B. Approve a services agreement with BLX, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, to
perform financial advisory services through fiscal year 2019 for a total amount not to exceed
$600,000; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute a two year and eight month services agreement with
BLX with an effective date ofOctober 17,2017.
Backeround
PFM Financial Advisors LLC (PFM) has been the sole provider of financial advisory services to the City
since August 2013, with a contract renewal being made in August 2016. Although PFM continues to
provide financial advisory services, it was determined that it would be more advantageous for the City to
have the availability of two financial advisory firms under contract. In short, the City will have access to
more expertise without incurring any additional cost.
Ir order to select one additional firm to provide financial advisory services, the City issued an RFP on
August 21, 2017 with a submission deadline of September 21, 2017. This was to allow interested parties
a month to review and respond. The RFP was sent to twelve (12) financial advisory firms based on their
technical expertise, local presence in Southem Califomia, and experience in working with municipalities.
Each of the twelve (12) identified financial advisory firms was solicited by providing an electronic
version of the R.FP along with contact information in the event there were any questions or clarifications
needed in order to respond. Further outreach was done by posting the RPF on the City's website and
advertising for two consecutive weeks in the Vemon Sun Newspaper. As a result of the outreach effort,
four qualified responses were received. The four financial advisory finns that responded were PFM,
BLX, Kosmont Transaction Services (KTS), and KNN Public Finance, LLC (KLN). Each of the four
firms' RFP responses were examined on the basis of four weighted RFP criterion oC I ) Responsiveness
t0%, 2) Qualifications 40%, 3) Cost & Fees 30%. and 4) References 20%. The results of this scoring
analysis are sumrnarized below:
l) BLX :98% (Selected)
2) PFM = 94% (Retained)
3) KNN = 92% (Not Selected)
4) KTS = 88% (Not Selected)
Based on the results noted above, staff is recommending tMt the City enter into an agreement for
financial advisory services with BLX. The agreement with BLX referenced within this staff report has
been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attomey's Ofiice.
IfCouncil approves ofthe proposed agreement with BLX, the City will have two firms under contract and
will have rhe flexibility ofassigning specific taskVprojects to the best suited hrm. TaskVprojects would
be examined on a case-by-case basis and staff would assigr them to either firm only as directed by the
City Administrator. It is anticipated that enhanced response times and customer service will occur as a
result of the competing desire to serve the City. There is no additional cosl incurred by having a second
firm since assignments will be disseminated only to the financial advisory firm selected based upon
required expertise and availability.
Fiscal Impact
The terms of the proposed agreement with BLX for financial advisory service for fiscal years 2017
through 2019 are the same as rhe agreement with PFM. The total contract cost will be $200,000 a year
for a three year terrn, with a gand total not to exceed 5600,000. No costs are incurred ur ess financial
advisory services are provided. lt is anticipated during the term of this agreement that the City will be
undergoing bond financing. The adopted fiscal year 201 7 budget has the suffrcient funds for the financial
advisory services required. The expense will be budgeted for subsequent years.

City of Vemon Financial Advisory Services Request for Proposals
I. INTRODUCTIONANDPROJECT
The City of Vernon is requesting proposals for financial advisory services to assist in the

financial studies as may be requested for the next three (3) years.

approach to design, conduct, and assist with the objectives as directed.
2. BACKGROUND
The City of Vernon was founded in 1905, is approximately 5.2 square miles in size and
is located approximately 5 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles California. Over its
long history, Vernon has been developed as an industrial community. At the turn of the
20s century the lands that make up Vernon were comprised largely of farmlands. The
presence of three major rail lines in the area led influential business and property owners
to encourage the railroad companies to run spur lines onto the farmlands. These rail
extensions enabled the creation of an'exclusively industrial" city. By the 1920's, Vernon
was attracting large stockyards and meatpacking facilities. ln the 1930's, Vernon
became the location of choice for many heavy industrial plants. As economic conditions
changed over the decades, these large scale industrial operations have relocated out of
Southern California and Vernon has attracted smaller, lighter industrial facilities. The
City's business friendly environment, low cost utilities and key location for trucking and
rail transport continue to position Vernon as an ideal location for industrial uses.
City Government: The City Council consists of five members, elected at-large, who
serve five-year staggered terms. The City Council annually appoints a Mayor and a
Mayor Pro Tem from its own membership to serve one-year terms.
Labor Force: Vernon has approximately 280 employees, and its departments include a
Fire Department, Police Department, Finance Department, Public Works Department,
Public Utilities Department and Health and Environmental Control Department. Present
bargaining units recognized include the Vernon Police fficers Benefit Association,
Vernon Police Management Association, Vemon Firemen's Association, the Vernon Fire
Management Association, lnternational Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 47, and
Teamsters Local 91 1 .

Re: Citv of Vernon Financial Advisory Services Request for Proposals
Dear Mr. Fox:
On behalf of BLX Group LLC ('BLX") I am pleased to submit this response to the City of
Vernon's ("City") request for proposal ('RFP) to provide Financial Advisory Services. Having
worked with the City since 2002, BLX's technical capabilities, familiarity with the City's debt
profile along with the debt profiles similar to that of the City, and a history of unsurpassed
client service, combine to make us distinctly qualified to serve the City's needs.
BLX possesses a unique combination of relevant resources, experience, and expertise to
offer the City. The City's financial advisory needs are an excellent fit with BLX's corporate
philosophy and procedures in that it acknowledges the unique characteristics of local
government issued debt and investing public funds and the necessary understanding of
related statutory, bond, and tax issues. lf selected, BLX is committed to providing
personalized financial advisory services in an informed, hands-on, extension-of-staff manner.
Additionally, BLX hereby declares that the undersigned individual is authorized to bind the
firm with a Financial Advisory Services contract with the City and that the proposal will be valid
for a period of at least ninety (90) days from the date of submission. We propose that the
contemplated project be managed from our Los Angeles office and will not be subcontracted.
Partnering with BLX and taking advantage of our strong tax and analytical skill set and
competitive pricing is the best choice for a successful, yet cost-effective engagement. I will
serve as your relationship manager and primary point of contact. ln that role, lwill be
responsible for leading an open dialogue between BLX and the City. I am excited about the
prospect of once again working with the City and look foruvard to addressing any questions
you may have. I can be reached at213-612-2463 or via e-mail at cunderwood@blxgroup.com.
Very truly yours,

A. INTRODUCTION
Present an antroduction of the proposal and your understanding of the assignment
and significant steps, methods and procedures to be employed by the proposer to
ensure quality deliverables that can be delivered within the required time frames and
your identified budget.
BLX is a registered municipal advisor offering financial advisory, interest rate swap advisory,
and post debt issuance compliance services associated with requirements imposed by the
IRS and SEC. As an independent and unbiased advisor, BLX's primary objectives are to
advocate for and educate our clients while assisting in structuring their financings to achieve
low cost of capital at the terms best suited to their debt policies and strategic objectives
Our financial advisory experience include providing recommendation of different
transactional approaches according to the borrower's best interests, including competitive
bond sales, negotiated bond sales, bank lending, and state loans. Furthermore, BLX has
participated in hundreds of transactions, rating presentations, and negotiations with
underuriters, LOC banks, and bond purchasers, and have observed how different types of
transactions perform under different market conditions.
Because we are independent advisors and are not in the business of underwriting bonds, we
are held to a fiduciary standard in all our engagements under the Dodd/Frank Act of 2010,
and are not considered by the MSRB to have the potential conflicts of interest which exist
between municipal borrowers and securities underwriting firms.
Further, BLX and its professionals have advised on municipal debt offerings, escrow
(re)structurings, investment products, and derivative transactions with an aggregate
parlnotional amount in excess of $60 billion across all sectors of public finance, including
local agencies, public utilities, higher education, healthcare, and project finance.
Citv of Vernon
We have been privileged to work with the City for 15 years and over that time have provided
pre- and poslissuance financial advisory services, derivative advisory and management
services and investment advisory services. The City is without question one of our firm's
most valuable clients. Our team assigned to Vernon is headed by Craig Underwood, BLX's
President, and Jeff Higgins, a Managing Director in our Los Angeles office. These two
individuals are among BLX's most senior and experienced professionals and have worked
with the City on an absolute priority basis for over a decade. Further, as BLX's President,
Mr. Undenarood has full access to and availability of ALL of BLX's resources as they are
needed to provide superior levels of service and quality to the City.
We would enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to renew and, whenever possible at the
City's request, expand our relationship with the City. We can unequivocally state that BLX
has an unmatched understanding of the City's debt, derivative and investment transactions,
the historical and institutional knowledge of the City's financings needed to provide optimal
advice, and is best positioned to provide the services outlined in the Scope of Work of the
RFP. Therefore, we are confident that BLX will be able to seamlessly and without any delays
continue its work with the City and its staff and continue to provide structuring, pricing, and
credit advice.

PRoPOSAL To PRovIO€ FI ANchL ADusmY SERvrcEs>
B. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK
Briefly summarize the scope of work as the proposer perceives or envisions it for each
Service Area proposed.
The scope of work as described in the RFP is generally consistent with the services BLX is
currently providing to the City and those which BLX regularly provides to other municipal
clients. At BLX, we generally divide financial advisory engagements into four (4) phases -
(1) ongoing general consulting, planning and advisory services not directly related to a
transaction (i.e. strategic planning), (2) pre-issuance services directly related to
debUderivative/investment transactions (i.e. debt strategy); (3) executing a debt strategy, and
(4) post-issuance regulatory, management, and oversight services. Based on our ongoing
experience with the City, we believe this approach is an excellent fit to provide the City with
the services described in the RFP.
Specifically, the services and tasks we proposed to perform for and on the City's behalf are
as follows:
1. BLX will meet with the City to update and fully develop our understanding of the City's
objectives with regard to financing and investment matters. As has been our practice with
the City, we would expect to meet regularly with City staff to discuss new opportunities
and changes in financial policy/objectives. The BLX staff assigned to this engagement is
available to the City as its highest priority.
2. BLX will provide the City with a comprehensive report reviewing all outstanding debt and
derivative positions, identifying opportunities to reduce debt service, provide cash flow
relief, and improve the City's overall balance sheet. This report will be updated not less
than semi-annually and as frequently as requested by the City.
3. BLX will be available on a priority basis to meet with City staff, City Council, committees,
commissions, and local governmental and quasi-governmental bodies as requested by
the City. We will provide support, advice, and presentation materials as requested by the
City to support its efforts to be responsive and transparent with all such entities.

Phase ll: Pre-lssuance Transactional Services
1. ln the event a financing objective (e.9., reduce debt service, fund capital projects, etc.)
has been identified by the City, BLX will initially prepare a detailed written report
identifying potential financing structures and options. This effort will include a review of
existing debt obligations and other credit and funding commitments and how a new
financing might impact those. lt will also include a preliminary forecast of the impact of
any contemplated debt transaction on the City's credit rating, its rate structure (as it
applies to enterprise funds), and overall debt service coverage.
2. From this initial report, BLX will work with the City to select the optimal financing strategy,
which provides the City with the lowest cost of capital within risk parameters acceptable
to and appropriate for the City.
3. As requested by the City, BLX will present or assist with the presentation of the initial
financing plan to those public bodies charged with oversight, including City Council.
Phase lll: Transactional Services
1. Once an overall financing plan has been agreed upon, BLX will provide a preliminary
step-by-step action plan, clearly identifying responsibilities and time line for project
completion.
2. BLX will assist in the selection and formation of a financing team, including preparing a
list of services required of undenarriter, trustee, verification agent (if needed), and other
professionals.
3. BLX will work with the City staff, bond counsel and financing team to determine the
appropriate size, structure, specific terms and conditions for the debt transaction, and
recommended method of sale.
4. BLX will assist bond counsel and other financing team members with the preparation of
all publicly distributed documents in connection with the financing, including the official
statement (or similar document) and related disclosures.
5. BLX will assist the City in negotiating and/or making presentations to credit rating
agencies and/or credit enhancers (e.9., bond insurers, credit banks, etc.).
6. Prior to the sale of debt securities, BLX will assist with and represent the City at
informational meetings as part of the marketing effort.
7. lf a competitive sale process is utilized, BLX will manage the sale process to ensure it is
competitive. BLX will (i) coordinate the advertising and premarketing of the debt issuance;
(ii) represent the City at the bid opening; (iii) analyze bids, identify the most favorable bid,
and make a recommendation to award; (iv) act as the City's agent in any post-award
negotiations; and (v) prepare final debt service tables.
8. lf a negotiated sale process is utilized, BLX will assist the City in negotiating appropriate
terms, reviewing spreads, identifying comparable transactions, analyzing market levels,
and clarifying any syndicate roles with the selected underuriter. BLX will also work side-
by-side with the underwriter to ensure the broadness and appropriateness of the
marketing and sales effort.

in the following areas:
A. - BLX will provide the City with annual and
final arbitrage rebate calculations on each of the City's outstanding tax exempt bond
issues.
B. Continuinq Disclosure Services - BLX will provide the City with material event, annual
report and dissemination services as required by the City's various continuing
disclosure agreements.

coordinating collateral calls or requests, and counterparty rating monitoring.
2. BLX will be available on a full time basis to interact with ratings agencies and investors

issuances.

C. WORK PLAN
Present concepts for conducting the work plan and interrelationship of all projects,
Define the scope of each task including the depth and scope of analysis or research
proposed.
As described in the previous section, BLX views this engagement as having four distinct, but
very much interrelated, components or phases. All four are critical to the City's financial
success, stability, and transparency and best provided by a single firm doing so on an
integrated basis.
We propose to implement the following work plan items and tasks as a supplement to the
Scope of Services described earlier.
Phase l: Our approach to providing Financial Advisory services to the City begins with acting
as an extension of the City's staff. That is, we have and would continue to be available to
the City on a full time basis (and on short notice) to provide support, analysis, and advice for
all City-related financial matters. By being fully immersed in the Cig's financial activities, we
are best positioned to provide the required services and timely and value added advice.
To add some structure to this, we propose regularly scheduled weekly meeting (or call if
preferred by City) with the Finance Director to review ongoing projects, help prepare for
upcoming meetings requiring financial analysis, and generally review market conditions and
opportunities for the City to improve its financial standing and/or pursue additional capital
funding. We also recommend that as Financial Advisor, we present or assist with a quarterly
presentation to City Council a summary and review of the City's financial standing as it relates
to debt, derivative, and investments. Working with the Finance Director, BLX will develop a
template for such presentations that can be readily updated and amended on an ongoing
basis.
Finally, as circumstances require, BLX's assigned professionals will be available to the City
on a full time priority basis. That is, should the City need BLX support and advice to address
pressing and sudden issues, we will make the necessary resources available to the City. We
believe that the availability of our assigned professionals throughout our decade of service
to the City readily demonstrates the true depth of this commitment.
Phase ll: The services described in Phases ll and lll are fairly standard for financial advisory
engagements as described in the previous section. As a supplement to these services and
to create better accountability and transparency, we propose that each financing transaction
be carefully documented as follows:
1. When a financing opportunity is identified (e.9., refunding) or deemed necessary (e.9.,
capital needs), BLX will provide an initial memo detailing the project parameters and
objectives and proposed work plan and calendar.
BLXGroup C|TY OF VERNoN
PR@GAL To PRoVIDE FIMI{CIAI- ADUSMY SERVICES
Phase lll: Once the City is in agreement with the work plan, BLX will assist the City with the
following:
1. Forming a financing team. Absent financing team members already being in place by
virtue of prior RFPs or other process, BLX will assist the City with identifying and securing
financing team members - utilizing a competitive process whenever possible.
3. Provide ongoing advice and recommendations to the City on how to best document
important transaction decisions regarding debt structure and important
legal/fi nancial/credit issues.
4. Upon the close of any transaction, BLX will provide a summary report to the City. This
report will detail the final transaction structure, including the bond pricing effort and
outcome; identify the extent to which the final transaction met the original project goals;
and summarize the City's ongoing obligations under the transaction. BLX will present or
assist in presenting these final findings to City Council.
Phase lV: BLX has provided the services proposed in this section to the City for several
years. We do not foresee any substantial changes in the work plan for how these services
are provided. However, in the spirit of creating greater transparency, we propose to provide
a formal annual report detailing the City's post-issuance compliance efforts. This summary
will include the results of any arbitrage rebate calculations, a summary of any required
disclosure filings, and a summary of the City's derivative positions. This annual report will
be useful in demonstrating the City's ongoing oversight efforts to City Council, regulatory
parties, and other groups.
We strongly believe that the City is best served by a single qualified firm providing the
services proposed in this and the prior section on an integrated basis.

D. FEES AND COSTS
Although an important aspect of consideration, the financial cost estimate will not be
the sole justification for consideration. Negotiations may or may not be conducted
with the proposer; therefore, the proposal submitted should award may be made
without discussion with any firm.
Proposer must offer seruices at a raG comparable to the rate proposer offers to other
governmental entities for similar work. Offering a higher rate to the City than the
comparable rate is grounds for disqualification of the Proposer.
BLX does not structure its fees for advisory services based on any set formula or approach.
We have provided similar services to those contemplated by the City on (i) a fixed fee basis;
(ii) an hourly basis; and (iii) a percentage of transaction-size basis.
The most important factor in determining an appropriate fee structure is the City's comfort
that our fee is appropriate for the work and value provided and consistent with "the market".
Therefore, while we have proposed a fee schedule as shown below, we are amendable to
negotiate alternative fee structures that may be deemed more acceptable by the City.
Our proposed fee structure is segmented in a manner consistent with our response to
Section B - General Scope of Work.
nce Transactional Services
As the depth and amount of the services required in this phase are difficult to approximate,
we believe these services are lairly compensated by an hourly billing arrangement. Our
proposed hourly fees are as follows:
Title Hourlv Rate
President $400
Managing Director $350
Alternatively, we would be open to negotiating a flat annual retainer for these services. Such
an arrangement might provide greater value for the City in that it would provide a cap. ln
order to determine an appropriate level for such a cap, we would need to first discuss with
the City what various projects and tasks it forecasts over the next 12 months.
Phase lll: Transactional Services
Once the City has elecled to pursue a specific financing, our fee for services in connection
with such a financing would then shift to a contingent arrangement. Under such an
arrangement, BLX would only be compensated upon a successful closing. Our proposed fee
for these services is as follows:
Debt Transaction:$0.50/$1,000 Bond with a cap of $200,000 and a floor of
$25,000
Derivative Transaction: The present value ol .02Yo of the notional amount for each year
the derivative is outstanding with a cap of $150,000 and a floor
of $25,000

PRoPoSAL To PRovIO€ FINANCUL ADusmY SERVICES

Contingent Fee Disclosures: Most forms of compensation for financial advisors have some
sort of potential conflict of interest inherent in the payment arrangement. Under a contingent
fee form of compensation, payment of an advisor's fee is dependent upon the successful
completion of a financing or other transaction. Although this form of compensation may be
customary for the client, it presents a conflict because the advisor may have an incentive to
push to complete a financing or potential financing under terms that might be
disadvantageous to the client. For example, when facts or circumstances arise that could
cause the financing or other transaction to be delayed or fail to close, an advisor may have
an incentive to discourage a full consideration of such facts and circumstances, or to
discourage consideration of alternatives that may result in the cancellation of the financing
or other transaction. Under an hourly fee form of compensation, the advisor is paid an
amount equal to the number of hours worked by the advisor times an agreed-upon hourly
billing rate. This form of compensation presents a potential conflict of interest if the client and
the advisor do not agree on a reasonable maximum amount at the outset of the engagement,
because the advisor does not have a financial incentive to recommend alternatives that
would result in fewer hours worked. ln some cases, an hourly fee may be applied against a
retainer (e.9, a retainer payable monthly), in which case it is payable whether or not a
financing closes. Alternatively, it may be contingent upon the successful completion of a
financing, in which case there may be additional conflicts of interest, as described above.
The City may wish to consider a continuation of the hourly rates proposed for Phase I
services for Phase ll services. Should the City elect to do so, fees for Phase lll services

Firm Overview
BLX Group LLC, formerly known as Bond Logistix LLC, is a Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board and Securities Exchange Commission registered independent municipal advisory firm,
specializing in serving governmental issuers and nonprofit entities. Our consulting services
include financial advisory, interest rate swap advisory, along with federal tax and regulatory
compliance services. We work with issuers on projects, both large and small, leveraging our
experience, resources, and expertise to design the role that best fits each client's needs.
BLX was established in 1989 to undertake the mathematical, financial, and other technical
aspects necessary to assist public and nonprofit agencies in complying with the arbitrage
rebate regulations imposed by the lnternal Revenue Service ("lRS"). Since that time, BLX
has grown to become the largest provider of such services in the country, with 38 professional
consultants and 12 support staff in 5 offices nationwide, strategically located in Dallas, Los
Angeles, Phoenix, New York, and Tampa.
BLX has a tremendous amount of experience in providing services to all types of entities
including states, counties, cities, transportation authorities, public utilities, special districts,
nonprofit organizations, and more. BLX professionals assigned to its engagement with the
City will have an average of 25 years of public finance experience. BLX is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Onick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP ("Onick"), the premier public finance law firm
in the nation. Orrick has provided quality legal services to municipal issuers, underuriters,
and trustees for more than 100 years and has been ranked first nationally as bond counsel
for most of the last two decades (as reported in the Bond Buyer).
BLX has grown to become a full service advisory firm, offering a range of complementary
services to public sector bond issuers and nonprofit entities. The professionals in each
practice arca arc allocated to work primarily in their practice groups. However, our practice
areas are designed to complement each other by providing expertise in the sometimes
difficult to fill gaps commonly encountered in municipal finance. For example, our swaps
group will often assist our financial advisory practice when the proposed debt strategy
includes hedging variable rate interest rate risk with a floating-to-fixed rate swap. Similarly,
our rebate group might streamline a swap-related engagement by sharing documentation
previously supplied by the client, saving all parties time and effort. There are numerous other
ClrY oF vERNoir
PRoPoSAL To PRoVIDE FIT.IANChL ADUSMY SERVICES
circumstances where we can leverage these synergies for the benefit of our clients. ln this
regard, the evolution of our firm has been driven simply by the needs and priorities of our
clients.
While smaller firms may have the expertise in their area of focus, their lack in size and overall
experience not only limits synergies, but limits their flexibility in deploying resources and,
importantly, limits their ability to develop the infrastructure necessary to efficiently and reliably
deliver services. By being a full service firm with a relatively larger client and services base,
BLX has been able to make investments, in technology for example, that benefit multiple
practice groups firm-wide. More specifically, BLX maintains these resources in-house and
to date have developed web-based platforms to bid investments (BLXBid), to assist with
filings of IRS Schedule K of Form 990 (BLXSKAN), and to value and monitor swap portfolios
(BLXSwap), with additional offerings in the works. A hallmark of BLX's history has been
continually updating our services to help our clients navigate new developments both in the
markets and in the regulatory arena. Our web-based software has been and will continue to
be designed according to our clients' needs.
By demonstrating our ability to manage thousands of active engagements combined with our
experiences in providing financial advisory and post-issuance compliance services, and
developing web-based platforms, BLX is amply qualified to serve the City.
Since launching its advisory service practice, BLX and its professionals have advised on
municipal debt offerings, escrow (re)structurings, structured investment products and
derivative transactions with an aggregate par and notional amount in excess of $60 billion
across all sectors of public finance, including local agencies, public utilities, higher education,
healthcare, and project finance.
As you are aware, BLX served as the City's financial advisor from 2002 through 2013. During
such period, the City embarked on a number of complex financings that required the financial
advisor to have a detail understanding of the City, its general fund, utility system, gas system,
redevelopment plan and, most importantly an understanding of the City's primarily industrial
constituents. BLX assisted the City with achieving those objectives, even during some of the
City's most challenging periods of time such as the nation's financial crisis in 2008 and State's
dissolution of the redevelopment agencies. BLX assisted the City with the financing of
numerous assets of Light and Power and the former Redevelopment Agency, including the
financing of the Malburg Generating Station, the financing and refinancing of the City's 15
year natural gas prepay transaction, the acquisition and sale of the City's Tehachapi wind
land, the sale of the certain utility assets such as Malburg Generating Station and
transmission assets, to name a few. BLX assisted the City in developing and evaluating
financial forecasts for the utility, monitoring the City's IRS compliance (including arbikage
rebate and private-use) and SEC compliance requirements (such as continuing disclosure
requirements). BLX also performed investment advisory/portfolio management services for
the City during this time period. However effective April 1, 2016 BLX no longer offers such
services. Even during the period BLX did not serve as the City's financial advisor, BLX has
continually monitored the City's financing activities such as its recent 2015 financing and is
familiar with the City's current plans.
BLX is also the largest and most widely experienced provider of post issuance compliance
and regulatory services (i.e., arbitrage compliance services, continuing disclosure services,
10
- BLxG.u.,p CITY OF VERNO
PRoPos.AL To PRoVIDE FNATTCnL ADVSORY SERVICES
etc.) in the nation, having prepared over 85,000 arbitrage calculations for over 23,000 bond
issues since 1989 and providing continuing disclosure services to issuers across the country.
Conflicts Disclaimers and Disclosures
The City is aware that BLX is a subsidiary of Orrick. BLX and/or Onick may have client
relationships with other parties involved in some manner with the City or the proposed
financing transaction (for example, underwriters, purchasers, counterparties, trustees, rating
agencies, insurers, credit providers, lenders, contractors, developers, advisors, investment
advisors/providers/brokers, public entities and others) whether with respect to the City or
some unrelated matte(s). Those participants are and will not be clients of BLX with respect
to the financing transactions that are the subject of this engagement.
BLX and Onick have been part of the City's financing team for past financings, and can work
together when we are both serving the City's interests. However, a potential conflict of
interest may arise if Orrick is engaged to provide legal services to other financing team
participants.
However, to the extent that, because of any other relationship between Orrick or BLX and
other participants, there may appear to be or is any conflict of interest, actual or potential,
with respect to the City's engagement of BLX, absent notification by the City to the contrary,
the City is hereby deemed to waive any such conflict and consents to any such other
relationship. BLX will notify the City of any potential conflicts.
BLX has taken the following steps to identify and address potential conflicts of interest that
may impact its ability to fulfill its duties to the City under this engagement.
. BLX will not participate in the City's process in selecting legal counsel in connection with
any financings.
. BLX has provided "historical continuing disclosure compliance" services for underwriters
in connection with the undenrvriters' obligation to review an issuer's S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12
11
-- BLxG.or.p C|TY oF VERNoN
PRopos,cl To PRovrDE FMr{cr r ADvrsmy SERvrcEs
compliance over the past five (5) years. Such service entails reviewing continuing
disclosure filings made by the issuer's. Such reports are factual representations of an
issuer's compliance. BLX will inform the City of any underwriters that have retained BLX
for these services prior to any selection of an undenarriter for the proposed transaction.
o Potential financing structures may include Wells Fargo or US Bank serving as undenivriter
or as purchaser of the obligations via a direct purchase. BLX is currently engaged by
Wells Fargo and US Bank to perform arbitrage rebate compliance services in connection
with outstanding obligations issued by certain public or not-for-profit agencies that
engaged the banks to serve as trustee. BLX's scope of services relating to its engagement
with Wells Fargo and US Bank is independent of the services described herein and will
not conflict with BLX's engagement with the City.
BLX has not committed any violations of Federal, state or local regulations or laws within the
last three years and is not involved in any pending or current litigation.
BLX is not under investigation and is not involved in any pending enforcement or disciplinary
actions by the SEC or any other regulatory bodies.
Financial Advisorv Team
The Project Team that BLX will assign to the City consists of BLX's most experienced and
appropriately skilled professionals, including the firm's president. All team members will be
available on a full{ime basis. Having provided the similar services proposed herein to public
agencies across the country, including the City, these BLX professionals are widely
considered to be among the nation's leading experts in debt, tax, derivative, and secondary
market disclosure matters relating to municipal bond financings.
We believe it is important to note that Mr. Undenrvood and Mr. Higgins have worked
extensively on the City's financing matters for over a decade and in this time have become
intimately familiar with City's outstanding debt and derivative portfolio, the City's current
standing with the rating agencies and investors, and ongoing tax, regulatory, and compliance
efforts.

Philosophv and Obiective
As an independent and unbiased advisor, BLX's primary objective is to advocate for and
educate our clients to structure their financings to achieve the lowest cost of capital at the
terms best suited to their debt policies and strategic objectives. Our philosophy is to ensure
all financing options are identified and reviewed for the borrower. Whenever possible, BLX
aims to develop an ongoing relationship with its clients rather than a transaction based
relationship. Our market knowledge and expertise provides us with the ability to negotiate
the most attractive fees and terms with financing participants on behalf of our clients.
BLX's hands on expertise in the municipal bond trading and underuvriting arena provides an
insider knowledge base to advocate for the City and bring transparency to the pricing
process. Our objective is to guide the City in balancing financing priorities with the current
market and investor demand. BLX monitors the municipal market on a daily basis and can
share market data on comparable transactions that will empower the City in selection of bond
or note sale dates and bond pricing decisions. BLX has access to all the major market
information sources such as Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, Municipal Market Data (MMD),
and EMMA to help the City make real time decisions that may impact the City's negotiated
and competitive sales. BLX works closely with the underwriter to make sure decisions are
made in best interest of the City and will provide an independent 3rd party fair market
certifi cation for negotiated sales.
BLX is an industry leader in tax compliance and related on-going post-issuance maintenance
of tax-exempt financings and all of our practice areas complement one another by providing
our clients with value added cross discipline expertise that has proven valuable, in particular
with respect to the analyzing the impact of swap transactions on arbitrage rebate and related
tax analyses. Throughout our 28 year history, our mission has been to exclusively serve,
and act on behalf of, our governmental and not-for-profit entity clients in areas where BLX
can leverage its combination of extensive infrastructure, depth of resources, and professional
expertise to provide best in class services.
Analvtical Capabilities
The senior members of our proposed team, Mr. Higgins, Mr. Casterline, and Mr. Chu, head
up our technical modeling and quantitative analysis for BLX's debt advisory and derivative
advisory services. They are assisted by three to five consultants who work under their
supervision to perform projects for our clients. Many of the pro,ects require customized
models to accommodate the specific idiosyncrasies of our clients' debt, investment and
derivative strategies. Mr. Chu developed both of BLX's propriety applications for structured
investment product bidding (BLXBid.com) and online swap monitoring and valuations
(BLXSwap.com).
BLX utilizes MUNEX to size and structure bond issues, perform advance refunding
calculations, analyze the cost effectiveness of credit enhancement, confirm and validate the
true interest costs on competitive bids and to provide transaction schedules to our clients. ln
addition to MUNEX, BLX routinely develops customized financial models to address the
specific information and financing strategy needs of its clients. Given BLX's technical
expertise in complex transactions, our staff is uniquely oriented toward creating specialized
financial models for our clients.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONTROL
Our staff continued to conduct routine inspections and assisted business representatives to properly complete
annual Hazardous Materials Business Plan forms using the new Califomia Environmental Reporting System
(CERS) which allows electronic submiftals of hazardous materials inventories and permit information. Zero
Class 1 violations were found, 33 Class 2,4Vlinor violations were noted during routine inspections performed
of hazardous materials facilities. Department staff will continue to monitor these facilities to ensure that all
violations have been conected.
Please note: According to The Califomia Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), violation types
are defined as: Class I Violation: The Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 25110.8.5 defines a Class I
Violation as a violation that is a sigrrificant threat to human health or safety or the environment because of
volume, hazardousness, and/or proximity to population at risk. A Class I Violation is also a violation that
could result in a failure to ensure adequate financial assurance, perform corrective action or emergency
cleanup; or a repeating Class II Violation committed by a recalcitrant violator. Class II Violation: The
Califomia Code of Regulation (CCR), title 22, section 66260.10 and Health and Safety Code (HSC) section
25110.8.5, subdivision (b) define a Class II Violation as a violation that is not a Class I Violation and does
not meet the conditions of a Minor Violation. Minor Violation: The Health and Safety Code (HSC) section
25117 .6 defines a Minor Violation as a subset of a Class II Violation that is not knowing, willful or
intentional, does not enable the Respondent to gain an economic benefit for noncompliance, is not chronic or
is not committed by a recalcitrant violator.

Prevent the Flu this Season by Gefting a Flu Shot
SACRAMENTO - The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) urges Californians to get the
influenza (flu) vaccine in September or October ahead of the arrival of influenza season.
ln California, flu usually begins to increase in late November or December. lt takes a couple of
weeks after vaccination for the body to respond fully, so now is the time to get vaccinated to
have the best protection before the flu season begins.
"Getting vaccinated is the best protection against flu illness," said CDPH Director and State
Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith. "You can prevent missing work or school, visits to the doctor or
hospitalizations, and protecting others from coming down with the flu.'
A person with flu may be contagious and infect others before they even feel sick.
For the second year, the Centers for Disease Conhol and Prevention (CDC) only recommend
injectable flu vaccines. The nasal spray flu vaccine (live attenuated influenza vaccine or LAIV) is
not recommended for use this season due to concerns about the effectiveness.
Each year, flu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and,
sometimes, thousands or tens of thousands of deaths in the United States.
To reduce this risk, CDPH recommends the annual flu vaccine for everyone six months of age
and older. While anyone can get flu, pregnant women, children under flve, adults 65 years of
age and older, and people with chronic conditions such as heart disease and asthma are
particularlv at risk for flu-related complications. Flu shots are needed every year to maintain the
greatest protection because the vaccine changes each season to match the circulating viruses.
Common symptoms of the flu include fever or feeling feverish, a cough and/or sore throat, a runny
or stuffy nose, chills, fatigue and body aches. Children may also have nausea, vomiting or
diarrhea.
To stop the spread of flu and other respiratory illnesses, you should also:
. Stay home while sick and limit contact with others
. Cover your cough or sneeze with your sleeve or disposable tissue
. Wash hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and warm water, or use an alcohol-based
hand sanitizer
. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
CDPH encourages Californians to contacl their health care provider, physician's office, clinic or
pharmacy about obtaining the flu vaccine. Some local health departments may also offer low- or
no-cost fl u immunizations.
For more information about the flu, visit CDPH's website. For the flu vaccine location nearest
you, visit www.flu.qov.

Keith Allen, Director of Health & Environmental Control Department fit-Originator: David LeDuff, Deputy Director
Approval of the Agreement Accepting the Assignment of the Non-Exclusive
Franchise Agreement for Commercial Solid Waste Collection from Recologr
Los Angeles to Araco Enterprises LLC.
RecommendationA. Find that approval of the proposed assignment agreement is exempt under the Califomia
Environmental Quality Act C'CEQA"), because such approval is an administrative
activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is
therefore not a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve the agreement, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, accepting
the reassignment of the Non-Exclusive Franchise A$eement for Commercial Solid
Waste Collection held by Recology Los Angeles, and assigning the Non-Exclusive
Franchise Agreement for Commercial Solid Waste Collection to Araco Enterprises LLC.
Backsround
Effective January l, 2015, Crown Disposal Company, Inc. ("Crown") entered into a Non-
Exclusive Franchise Agreement for Commercial Solid Waste Collection with the City of Vemon,
as approved through Ordinance No. 1226. Shortly thereafter by minute order on February 3,
2015, the Vemon City Council approved assignment of the Franchise Agreement from Crown to
Recology Los Angeles ("Recology"); the City's acceptance of the assignment was memorialized
in an agreement dated February 20,2015. Subsequently on August 11,2017, Recology entered
into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Araco Enterprises LLC ("Araco") by
which Recology agreed to assigr and Araco agreed to assume the Franchise Agreement. Proof
of the agreement was subsequently received by the Vemon HECD on September 25,2017.
Section 15.1 of the existing Franchise Agreement allows the City to consider the assignment.
The City Council has unfettered discretion to approve or deny such an assignment.
Although Araco is a new company that has not previously held a Franchise Agreement with the
City, the same family that has owned Athens Services for over 60 years will own Araco. Athens
Page 1 of 2
Services currently holds a Franchise Agreement with the City of Vemon and has been in good
standing. For these reasons, the Vemon Health & Environmenta.l Control Departnent b€lieves
Araco will have the same or better capability than Recology to firlfill the Franchise Agreement.
The City Attorney's Office reviewed and approved the proposed agreement as to form.
Fiscal Imoact

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Anthony Miranda, Police Chie{
Donation of 2005 Chevy Tahoe to the City of San Fernando Police
Department Reserve Olficer Program
Recommeudation
A. Find that approval ofthe proposed donation is exernpt from Califomia Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result
in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute
a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Authorize the donation ofa surplus 2005 Chevy Tahoe Patrol Vehicle, to be conveyed to
the City of San Fernando Police Departrnent Resewe Officer Program; and
C. Enter into a donation and release agreernent, in substantially the same form as submitted
herewith, with the City of San Femando Police Department, to use and retain as needed by
the Reserve Police Officer Program; and
D. Authorize the Chief of Police to execute the Deed of Gift and Donation Agreernent and
Release on behalfofthe City ofVernon.
Backqround
On September 6,2017, Vernon Police Department was contacted by San Fernando Police Chief
Anthony Vairo who expressed interest in utilizing surplus vehicle(s) for refurbishing purposes for
his departments reserve officer program. San Femando PD is experiencing a shortage of patrol
vehicles and has limited funding to purchase new patrol vehicles.
The Vemon Police Departrnent conducted an assessment of the patrol vehicle fleet and identified
patrol unit #P93, vIN # 1GNEC 13275R256868, a 2005 Chevy Tahoe, for surplus. The patrol
vehicle has been in use for patrol purposes for I I years and has surpassed 173,000 in mileage.
Although the patrol vehicle has accumulated wear and tear over the yefis given the 2417 use, it is
suitable for refurbishing purposes.
Vernon Police Department has consulted with the City's Lead Mechanic and it was agreed that
investing more money to keep this unit running would not be in the City of Vemon's best interest
at this time.
The proposed donation of the surplus vehicle to the City of San Fernando Police Departrnent
Reserve Officer Program will serve a municipal purpose and will provide the necessary resource
to enhance the program given the limited funding for patrol vehicles. Once the pahol vehicle is
refurbished, it will be utilized by reserve police officers assigned to patrol duties. The City
Attomey's Office has reviewed and approved the Deed of Gift and Donation Agreernent and
Release.
Fiscal Imoact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed donation.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Daniel Wall, Director of Public Works Orprrt^"oQ,J
Originator: Kevin Wilson, Interim Public Works Director
An Ordinance of the City Council Proposing Minor Amendments to Chapters
24 anil26 of the Vernon Municipal Code
Recommendation
Find that approval of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from Califomia Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) as it is not considered a "project" under CEQA which is defined as
an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in
either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect
physical change in the environment, Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21065. Under the
proposed ordinance, no such activity is being undertaken. Even ifthe ordinance were to be
considered a .!roject,' under cEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that
CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a sigrrificant effect on
the enviionment. where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not
subject to GEQA. Here, the ordinance involves the adoption of amendments to revise state-
mandated construction codes merely to improve the safety of buildings and will not have
any effect on the environment; and
Open a Public Hearing and receive any comments from the public regarding the proposed
amendments, and thereafter close the Public Hearing; and
Approve the first reading, and adopt at a subsequent meeting, an Ordinance amending
Ciapter 24 of the Vemon Municipal Code regarding the 2016 Green Building Standards
Code and Chapter 26 regarding Incidental Uses.
Backsround
The State of California Building Standards Commission has contacted City staff regarding City
Ordinance No. 1237, approved by City Council on December 6,2016, which adopted amendments
to the 2016 Califomia Building Code. All amendments are required to be submitted to the Building
B.
C.
Page I of3
Standards Commission for acceptance and frling. The State has questioned the City's adoption of
the 2016 Green Building Standards Code and has refused to file the City's amendments until such
time as the City correctly adopts this Code. [n accordance with State law, a City with the exception
of administrative provisions is only permitted to amend a State Building Standard based on
climatic, topographical or geological conditions. In this instance, the City adopted several
amendments to the 2016 Califomia Green Building Standards Code based on administrative
reasons. The State is not accepting this rationale.
The State has advised that the City should either rescind the amendments or amend the adopted
ordinance to reflect that the amendments are necessary due to climatic, topographical or geological
conditions within the City.
City staffhas reviewed the amendments that the City made to the Green Building Standards Code.
Other than the modifications to the fee schedule, staff has determined that all other amendments
are not necessary. These amendments included the addition ofone definition, minor glammatical
changes to clarifu code language and modifications to voluntary requirements which the City is
not enforcing. The subject amendments were recommended by the Intemational Code Council,
Los Angeles Basin Chapters, Green and Sustainability Committee as part of the Los Angeles
Region Uniform Code Program. The City adopted these amendments in an effort to have a uniform
code throughout the Los Angeles region.
It is therefore recommended that the City adopt an ordinance deleting City Code Sections 24.107
(b)-(p), only maintaining Section 24.107(a) which adopts the City's fee schedule versus the fee
schedule specified in the Green Standards Code. The proposed amendment is shown in Exhibit
Zoning Code
The City adopted its current Zoning Ordinance on January 16, 2008 establishing Chapter 26 of the
Vemon Municipal Code. Since that time other minor amendments have been made to the City's
Zoning regulations. In order to streamline the City's development review process City staff is
recommending that an additional change be made to the Zoning Ordinance conceming Incidental
Uses.
The term Incidental Uses is defined to mean, a use that is in connection with a Person's Permitted
Use, such as offrce, design are4 or showroom space, that occupies more than twenty Percent
(20%), but less than fifty percent (50%) ofthe gross Floor Area. Incidental Use does not include a
Retail Use, but may include mail order or intemet sales in connection with a Permitted Use.
Currently an Incidental Use requires a Minor Conditional Use Permit.
The purpose ofa Conditional Use Permit C'CUP) is to allow the proper integration ofuses into
the community which may be suitable in specific Iocations or designed and constructed in a
particular ma ler or under certain conditions. Typically, uses in the City of Vemon that are subject
to a CUP could cause a nuisance to a neighboring prope(y or the community as a whole, unless
conditions are placed on tle use to protect neighboring properties. In this instance, the only
nuisance that could be caused by an Incidental Use is an increase in street parking demand caused
by an increase in employees or visitors. However, this could be rectified by incorporating parking
and loading regulations for an Incidental Use. Currently, parking issues would be resolved through
Page 2 of 3
the CUP process. The current parking and loading regulations specifically allow the parking
requirements to be increased as part of the CUP process.
A Conditional Use Permit takes considerable stafftime to process the application. Normally it can
take tlree to six months to process a CUP. Therefore, a business proposing a small addition to an
existing offrce area that causes the offrce to exceed the twenty percent threshold could take several
months to approve. In order to sEeamline the process while continuing to provide protection to
neighboring property owners it is recommended that the City develop a mandatory parking
requirement for incidental uses and no longer require a CUP. Staff is recommending that the
parking requirements for an Incidental Use be one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area
utilized for an Incidental Use. This is the same ratio that is required for a Commercial Use, which
includes a standalone offrce building.
It is therefore recommended that the City adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 26 of the Vemon
Municipal Code to no longer require a CUP for an lncidental Use and to establishing parking
standards for an Incidental Use. The proposed amendments are shown in Exhibit "B".
Fiscal Imoact
There is no fiscal impact to the City by adopting the proposed Ordinance.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON
APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE VERNON POLICE
OFFICERS' BENEFIT ASSOCIATION 2016-2019 MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTAI{DING
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Vernon Police Officers'
Benefit Association (VPOBA) 2016-2019 Memorandum of Understanding is exernpt
from Califomia Environmental Quality Act C'CEQA') review, because it is an
administrative action that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA
Guidelines section 15378;and
B. Adopt the attached resolution approving Amendment No. 3 to the Vernon Police
Officers' Benefit Association 2016-2019 Mernorandum of Understanding to amend/add
the following provisions:
I . Article Seven, Section 16, City Vehicle
2. Article Eight, Section 4, Sergeants
Backsround
The City of Vemon and the VPOBA signed a tentative agreement on July 7, 2016 to extend their
MOU through June 30, 2019. This tentative agreement included a provision relating to take
home vehicles for specific Police Sergeants. This itern was inadvertently omifted from the July
12, 2016 staff report and corresponding MOU Amendment No. 2 approved by City Council.
This itern was corrected in the amended Fringe Benefit and Salary Resolution approved by City
Council on June 20,2017 but has not yet been added to the MOU.
DATE:
TO:
FROM:
RE:
October 17,2017
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Page I of2
The VPOBA recently approached the Human Resources Department to request a revision to
Article Eight, section 4, Sergeants of their cunent MOU. The language in this section references
"eight (8) months of weekends off per year for Patrol Sergeants including Saturday, Sunday and
Monday." The VPOBA requested to remove "Monday' from this section. After review and
discussion with the VPOBA Representatives and Police Management it was determined that this
change was needed to clarifo this section.
The reason for the clarification is due to the Telestaff time keeping systern that was implemented
in the Police Department. The method of scheduling time worked needed to change due to how
the computer software designated a workday; particularly when a Sergeant works a shift
beginning in the evening of one day that ends in the moming of the following day. Vernon
Police Management and the VPOBA agreed to keep the original intent of the original MOU
language in this section. Therefore, the rernoval of the word "Monday''in this section would be
necessary to properly capture the weekend work shift.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact on the current operating budget as a result ofthe recommended Police
Sergeants schedule language change. An increase in fuel and maintenance costs associated with
the vehicle use was anticipated and has been budgeted in the 2Ol7l2O18 fiscal year budget to
cover the additional costs associated with this item.

Request for Approval for Change Order No. l, City Contract No. CS-0E21: City
Hall Roof Repairs
Recommendation
A. Find that the approval of the proposed action is exempt from Califomia Environmental
Qualig Act C'CEQA') review, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 (i.e.,
maintenance, repair or minor alteration ofan existing structure, involving negligible or no
expansion of existing use) and 15302 (i.e., replacement or reconstruction of existing
structures and facilities where new structue will be located on the same site as the
structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the
structure replaced); and
B. Authorize the City Administrator to issue Change Order No. I in the amount of $14,002.06 for
the unexpected changed condition in the City Hall Roof Repair project (CS-0821).
Background
This project replaces the roofing material on City Hall's main roof stucture. The existing roof was in
extremely poor condition and leaks throughout the stuctue. The scope ofthe project included:
. Sed miscellaneous openings in the open membrane as needed prior to washing of the
roof area.. Remove blisters, ridges, buckles, and other substrate irregularities from existing
roofing membrane that would inhibit application of uniform, waterproof coating.. Power wash ttre roof per the specifications.. Reinforce all low or ponding areas by priming with specified material.. Fill all pitch pans and crown.. Perform remedial and preventative maintenance as required by the manufacturer's
waranty rcquircments.. Apply reflective top coat according to the manufacturer's written instuctions.
On May 16. 2017. City Council approved and authorized the City Adm inistrator to execute a contract
in an amount not to exceed $94,179 for the City Hall Roof Replacement (CS-0821). The Contract
was awarded to Best Contracting Services (Best) in the amount of $94,179.00 with a $9,400
contingency. Staff is requesting City Council approval, as the total amount of the change order
exceeds the $9,400 contingency amount.
During construction of the City Hall Roof Repairs, it was discovered after the power washing of the
roof, that there was unforeseen extensive blistering on the existing main roof. This contract specified
that Tremco materials be used. The contract requires a ten-year warranty on the new roof. Due to the
excessive blistering, Tremco would not warranty the roof without the blisters being removed.
Public Works had Best perform three trial solutions to remove the excess blistering. Out ofthe three,
Public Works, Tremco and Best agreed on a solution to remedy the blistering without removing all of
the existing coating which would have been ei significant cost to the City. It was agreed to install a
three layer coating system (emulsion, polyester, emulsion) before the final reflectiye top coating is
completed. Tremco has agreed to honor the warranty if this system is used. Change Order No. 1 is for
the three layer coating system. With the subsantia.l change to the original specifications and scope of
work, it is recommended to authorize Change Order No. 1 to complete the construction of Contact
CS-082 I , City Hall Roof Repairs. The City Auomey's Office has approved Change Order No. I as
attached.
Fiscal Impact
The original estimate for the extra work was $26,843.89. After numerous negotiations with Best, the
cost for the proposed Change Order No.l is 514,002.06, increasing the total project amount to
$ I 08,I 8 | .06 which is below the budgeted project amount of $ | 20,000.00.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Contract Award for City Contract No. CS-0894: Refuse Collection' Recycling
and Disposal Senices
Recommendation
A. Find that awarding the contract to Haul-Away Rubbish Service Company, Inc. is exempt
from Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is an administrative
activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and
therefore is not a "project' as defined by CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378; and
B. Accept the bid from Haul-Away Rubbish Service Company, Inc. as the preferred bidder
and reject a.ll other bids; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute a contract in an amount not to exceed $ I 50,000
for the City's Refuse Collection, Recycling and Disposal Services'
Background
On August 29,2017, the City Administrator authorized the advertisement of Request for Bid in
order to seek bids from qualified refuse haulers that hold a valid City of Vemon Franchise Hauler
Permit, for the City's refuse collection, recycling and disposal services. These services would be
available for City Hall, City Apartrnents, the Recycling Center, Public Utilities, Petrelli Electric,
Fire Stations and City Housing. The Request for Bid was forwarded to all registered refuse haulers
that hold a valid City of Vemon Franchise Hauler Permit. The specifications included the standard
terms and conditions for the Labor and Materials Contract, previously approved by the City
Council.
Bids for Contract No. C5-0894, Refuse Collection, Recycling and Disposal Services were received
and opened on September 26, 2017. The calculated monthly cost results were as follows:
Page I of2
1. USA Waste of Califomia dba Waste Management
2. Haul-Away Rubbish Service Company, Inc.
3. G.B. Services Inc.
4. Ware Disposal Inc.
$6,424.20
$6,690.00
$7,405.00
$8,687.00
Public Works staff has analyzed the bids. Although USA Waste of Califomia dba Waste
Management came in as the lowest responsible bidder, the detailed bid showed a slight increase to
the City's tenants for their waste and green waste collection and a substantial increase for the
recycling services. The second lowest bidder, Haul-Away Rubbish Service Company, Inc. ("Haul-
Away"), is proposing more favorable costs to the City's residents. Table 1 below illustrates both
bidders' proposed disposal fees for City residents.
Proposed Haul-Away Rubbish
Service Co., Inc. Fee
Proposed USA Waste of

Management Fee
One (1) 60 gal. Waste Bin $7.00 $8.02
One (1) 60 eal. Recycle Bin $ 1.00 $8.02
One (1) 60 gal. Green
Waste Bin
$7.00 $8.02
ln order to maintain the lowest possible costs to residents and to stop services from lapsing, staff
is recommending that Haul-Away Rubbish Service Company, Inc., ("Haul-Away"), be retained
for an additional three year period for an amount not to exceed $150,000, for the lifetime ofthe
contract. For the past three years, Haul-Away has performed very well and no complaints have
been received by Public Works staff. Additionally, staff is recommending to reject all other bids.
The proposed contract has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attomey's office.
Fiscal Imoact
Although the bid is to be awarded to Haul-Away with a bid amount of $6,690 per month, the exact
price for the three years of refrrse service is unknown because some of the prices quoted are billed
and paid on an as-needed basis, rather than on a monthly fixed price. Staff estimates that actual
monthly prices will be lower than the $6,690 bid price.
The City has budgeted sufficient funds for the proposed services in the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Daniel l{all, Public lVorks Directo
Originator: Brandon Araujo, Project Engineer F.a.
A Resolution Authorizing Submittal of Application(s) for all CalRecycle
Grants for which the City of Vernon is Eligible, Including the Rubberized
Pavement Grant Program
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the attached resolution in this staff report is exempt from California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is a general policy and procedure
making activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,
and therefore does not constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section
15378: and
B. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Administrator, Director of Finance,
Director of Health and Environmental Control, Director of Public Works, the Chief of
Police, the Fire Chief, and the General Manager of Public Utilities, or their respective
designee, as stated in a separate lrtter of Designation, to execute in the name of the City
of Vernon all CalRecycle grant documents, including but not limited to, applications,
agreements, amendments and requests for payment, necessary to secure grant funds and
implement the approved grant project.
Background
CalRecycle has established a number of grant programs aimed at reducing waste and diverting
materials from landfi lls.
Of particular inrerest to the Public Works Depanment is The Rubberized Pavement (TRP) Grant
Program. Rubberized Asphalt concrete (RAC) is typically more expensive than conventional
pavement. TRP Grant Program reimburses the eligible grantees the difference in cost between the
RAC and conventional pavement up to an amount of $ l0/ton.
Generally, rubberized asphalt concrete provides stmctural performance that is superior to
conventional pavement. This superior performance is desirable in a city with heavy-vehicle traffic.
The Public Works Department is proposing the use ofRAC for the Soto Street Resurfacing project,
currently scheduled for Fiscal Year 2018-2019. This project will resurface Soto Street from the
Los Angeles River to the City's southern limits. As a condition of the grant, construction must be
completed by April l, 2020.
Attached is the completed application which was submitted electronically by the deadline of
October 5, 2017.
CalRecycle requires the City Council to adopt a resolution by November 2, 2017 that authorizes
the grant Applicants to apply on the City's behalf. CalRecycle offered two sample resolutions:
one that could be used for individual grants and one that could be used for all grans that
CalRecycle offers for which the City would be eligible. In order to reduce the need to adopt a
resolution for each individual grant the City may apply for in the future, the resolution to be used
for all grants was selected. In addition, since both the Health and Environmental Control
Department and the Public Works Depanment will have applied for grants from CalRecycle, the
language of the Resolution was expanded to allow the City Administrator, Director of Finance,
Director of Health and Environmental Control, Director of Public Works, the Chief of Police, the
Fire Chief, and the General Manager of Public Utilities, or their respective designee, as stated in a
separate l-etter of Designation, to execute in the name of the City of Vernon all grant documents,
including but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments and request for payment,
necessary to secure grant funds and implement the approved grant project.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as a result of adopting the attached Resolution. The gant funds will
benefit the City by reducing the cost ofRAC.

As a part of ths Solo Street Resurfacing projec{, the Public Works DepartrnEnt proposes to grind four to six inches of
existing asphalt concrete and replac€ with a conv€ntional lift of asphalt concrete two to four inches in d€pth followed by a
two inch overlay of rubb€rized asphalt concrete.
Bas€d on the limilrs of the project and assumirE a 0-m inch overlay of rubbe.ized asphalt conqlte, roughly 5,000 tons of
rubberized asphall concrete will be rgquired. Assuming that the full ditreEnlial in cost betreen rubberized asphah
concrete and @nventional asphalt conqete is llo/ton and a 10% contingency, we have requested 355,000.
The Soto Sfe€l Resurfacing projed is also slated to inco.porale design teatures to improve the watsr quality ot
stormwaler runofl. We believe combining thGe features with the use of asphalt that incorporates the use of reclairned
rubber will saNe as an example to others how environmentally sustainable a road can be.

State Water
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt under the Califomia Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA"), because it is an administrative activiry that will not result in direct
or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a
"project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve a Water Rights License and Agreement with Golden State Water Company, in
substantially the same form as submitted herewith, to lease 2,000 acre feet from the Ciry
of Vemon's Allocated Pumping Rights in the Central Basin for a lease unit price per acre
foot of $162.00 for a revenue total of $324,000 to be placed into the Public Utilities Water
Fund Revenue Account; and
C. Authorize the General Manager of Public Utilities to execute the Water Rights License and
Agreement with Golden State Water Company.
Backsround
The Ciry ofVemon overlies the Central Basin and is party to the Judgment dated October I l, 1965,
and entered in Los Angeles County Superior Court Case No. 786656 entitled "Central and West
Basin Water Replenishment District v. Charles E. Adams, et al" and subsequent amendments
thereof as ofJuly 1,2017. As a partyto the Judgement, the City was awarded an annual Allocated
Pumping Rights (APA) of 7,539 acre feet. The water rights are in perpetuity and have a market
value of over $90,000,000.
In 1959, the Water Replenishment District (WRD) was created to manage the groundwater basin
and to oversee replenishment activities of the basin. In order to increase flexibility in the use of
the City's APA, the WRD created the Carryover Program. The program allows the City to place
unused water from its APA into a carryover account. For example, if the City uses 6,539 acre feet
Page I of2
of its APA in any given year, it is allowed to put the remaining 1,000 acre feet, into its carryover
account for later use. The 1,000 acre feet can be used at any time and is saved in the carryover
account in perpetuity. The program allows the City to place a maximum of up to 60%;o or 4,523
acre feet into its carryover account. It is also standard practice in the Cenral Basin to sell,
purchase, lease, and trade unused water rights among parties to the Judgement in Cenfal Basin.
Over the last twelve years, a decline in the City's overall water demand fell by approximately 30%.
In addition, groundwater well production decreased dramatically due to deferred maintenance.
Lastly, water quality issues forced the decommissioning of two wells and curtailment of
groundwater well production at two rehabilitated wells by sealing off contaminated aquifers. Due
to these factors, the City's carryover account is at its maximum amount of 4,523 and due to recent
well failures, staff is estimating that not all this year's water rights will be used. To prevent any
loss of water rights, staffis recommending that the City's carqrover account be reduced by 3,000
acre feet.
Discussion
Staffplaced 3,000 acre feet ofwater rights out for lease. Three private water companies responded
to the City's water right lease offering:. Liberty Utilities submitted an offer for 1,000 acre feet at $ 150 per acre footo Suburban Water submitted an offer for 1,000 acre feet at $25 per acre foot
o Golden State Water Company submitted an offer for 2,000 acre feet at $162 per acre foot
The total anticipated revenues for the entire 3,000 acre foot leases is $474,000 for FY 2017-18.
Benefits of leasing the water rights are as follows:o Increase in Water Division revenues by $474,000 for FY 2017- 18. Relief of the Ciry's carry-over accounto Flexibility to placed unused water rights in FY 2017- l8 into the City's carD/-over account. Elimination of anticipated water rights losses in FY 2017- 18
The City Attomey has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form.
Fiscal Imoact
This amount of $324,000 will be placed into the Public Utilities Department Water Fund revenue
account for use in the division's operating and capital improvement budgets for FY I 7- I 8 .

A Resolution Approving and Adopting the Resource Adequacy Plan for 2018
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from Califomia Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA") review, because it is a fiscal and administrative activity that will not result
in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute
a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Adopt a resolution approving and adopting the Public Utilities Department Resource
Adequacy Plan for 2018, which includes the peak Demand Forecast, the Planning Reserve
Margin, the Qualifuing capacity criteria and the Qualifoing capacity from such resources,
Ciry;s Resource Adequacy and Supply Data and approving the resources used to satisfy
the Califomia Independent System Operator's (CAISO) tariff requirements; and
C. Authorize staffto submit the Resource Adequacy Plan for 2018 and the Monthly Resource
Adequacy and Supply data to the CAISO.
Background
The Califomia lndependent System Operator (CAISO) as the electric grid operator is responsible
for maintaining u ."iiabl" electric grid. One of the keys to maintaining a reliable grid is to ensure
that the electrii system has adequate resources it needs to meet its electric demand. To do this the
CAISO has esta6lished provisions in its Tariff that are intended to ensure that Load Serving
Entities (LSE), such as the Ciry of Vemon, will secure sufficient resources to meet their customer's
energy dimands. Pursuant to Section 40 of the CAISO Tariff LSEs must provide to the CAISO
u**-lly a Resource Adequacy demonstration or plan. The Resource Adequacy demonstration
must include (l) a coincident peak Demand Forecast, (2) Resewe Margin, (3) Qualifying Capacity
Criteria, (4) an annual and monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data, and (5) a list ofResource
Adequacy Resources that will be counted on to satisry its Local capacity Requirement and (6)
Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement'
(1) Coincident Peak Demand Forecast: is defined as the amount of the City of Vemon's load
that contributes to the CAISO system peak. This is calculated by first establishing a
monthly peak demand for the upcoming year. A monthly peak demand is established by
taking the latest highest metered energy demand for the month and applyng the projected
load growth rate. Based on staff analysis, a projected load reduction for 2018 is set at
l.5Vo. To establish the monthly energy demand for 2018, Staff has used the most recent
l2-month highest monthly energy demand and applied a 1.57o reduction. Once the peak
demand forecast is established, each monthly peak demand is multiplied by a coincident
peak factor to establish the monthly coincident peak demand forecast. The coincident peak
factor is calculated and provided to the City of Vernon annually by the Califomia Energy
Commission. It is the percentage of the City of Vemon's energy demand at the time of the
CAISO system's peak demand. Mathematically, the Coincident Peak Demand Forecast
for 2018 is equal to the peak demand forecast and multiplied by the coincident peak
demand factor.
(2) Reserve Margin: is defined as the amount of Resource Adequacy Capacity that an LSE
must maintain above its coincident peak Demand Forecast. Pursuant to the CAISO Tariff,
a LSE must establish a Reserve Margin of no less than l5%. Historically the City of
Vemon has established its Reserve Margin at 15%.
(3) Qualifying Capacify Criteria: a Load Sewing Entity must provide the CAISO with a
description of the criteria that will be used to determine the type ofresources that can be
used to meet its capaciry obligation and the amount of capacity (Qualifying Capacity)
from such resources. The City of Vemon has elected to use the following resources to
meet its capacity needs and the qualifoing capacity from each of them.
a) Power supply contracrs entered through WSPP Agreement (MRTU Amendment)
and defined as any SC-to-SC traded product for which an IST (Inter-SC Trades)
can be submitted to the CAISO.b) Vemon Purchase Power Contract with SCPPA for SCPPA's share of the Palo
Verde Generating Station. The qualifred capacity shall be 4.9%o ofSCPPA share
of the Palo Verde Generating Station.c) The contract between the United States Department of Energy Westem Area
Power Administration Boulder Canyon Project and the City of Vemon. The
Qualiffing Capacity will be based on the most current schedule for the available
capacity from the Boulder Canyon Project.
d) The generating units and system units within the Ciry of Vemon's electric system.
The amount of qualifying capaciry ofsuch units will be based on the projected
dependable gross output capacity on a day when the ambient air temperafure is 90
degrees Fahrenheit.e) Long term power purchase contracts of5 years or more. The Qualifying Capacity
bill be based on the City of Vemon's percentage share of the contracted capaciry
quantitY.f) Capaciry from a Participating Generator, System Unit or a System Resource as
defined in the CAISO Tariff.g) Intemrptible Service agreements between the City of Vemon and its electrical
customers. The qualifuing capacity will be based on the contracted amount the
electrical customer has agreed to intemrpt either by a request from CAISO or
upon an unscheduled outage of the Malburg Generating Station or any other
generating unit intemal to the City's electric system.
(4) Annual and monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data: each annual and monthly
Resource Adequacy and Supply data must be submitted to the CAISO on the established
templates and on the set schedule dates. The Resource Adequacy data templates shall
identiff all of the qualified resources committed to meet the City's resource adequacy
obligations and the adopted Reserve Margin. The Supply data templates list only those
resources that the City owns or is responsible for scheduling with the CAISO. Monthly
Resource Adequacy and Supply data templates will be consistent with the data submitted
in the Annual Resource Adequacy and Supply data templates and may be adjusted for
seasonal variations in the City's load or changes in its contracted/owned resources.
(5) Local Capacity Requirement: On an annual basis the CAISO publishes a technical snrdy
that determines the amount ofcapacity resources needed in the Los Angeles Basin area that
must be available to the CAISO. Based on this study the CAISO allocates the amount of
local capacity the City of Vemon must make available each month. The City of Vemon
must then include in the CAISO approved Resource Adequacy data templates the resources
that will meet its Local Capacity Requirement.
(6) Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement: On an annual basis the CAISO
conducts and publishes the results ofa study that determines the Flexible Capacity Need
for the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. The need for flexible capacity is a result of the
CAISO managing a greener grid. The increase ofvariable energy resources and distributed
generation has presented sigrrificant challenges to grid reliability. The CAISO determines
and allocates the flexible resource adequacy requirement to each LSE. The tariff requires
LSEs to have sufficient resources that could ramp up and down quickly and have the
potential to start and shut down multiple times per day i.e. flexible capacity. LSEs are
required to include both an annual and monthly Flexible Resource Adequacy capaciry
showings in the Resource Adequacy data template. The City of Vemon must then include
in its Resource Adequacy Plan the list of Flexible Resource Adequacy resources that will
meet its requirement. These resources must be listed and submitted to the CAISO in the
approved Resource Adequacy data template.
Consistent with the CAISO Tariff requirements, Staff has prepared the City of Vemon Public
Utilities Department's Resource Adequacy Plan for 2018 for City Council approval.

City of Vernon
Public Utilities Department
Resource Adequacy Plan
Calendar Year 2018
Backsround:
The Resource Adequacy provisions ofthe CAISO's Tariffrequire the Scheduling Coordinator
("SC") of a Load Sewing Entity ("LSE") such as the City of Vemon to establish and submit
the following information upon approval from its Local Regulatory Authority. (1) a Coincident
Peak Demand Forecast for its load, (2) a Reserve Margin used for planning purposes, (3) the
Qualifling Capacity Criteria that will be used for determining qualifying resource types and
the Qualifying Capacity from such resources, (4) an annual and monthly Resource Adequacy
and Supply data, and (5) a list of the resource that will be used to satisfu the LSE's Local
Capacity Requirement and Flexible Resource Adequacy Capacity Requirement showing.
Staffhas prepared this "City of Vemon Public Utilities Department Resource Adequacy Plan
for Calendar Year 2018 consistent with the CAISO Tariff requirements. The following is a
discussion of each of the CAISO Tariff requirements and how the Ciry will meet each
requirement.
Coincident Peak Demand Forecast:
Vemon's municipal load resides within the CAISO control area. The CAISO, as the balancing
authority, has the responsibility for meeting reliability criteria established by the Westem
Electricity Coordinating Council (*WECC'). As such the CAISO has entered into agreements
with various market participants including, but not limited to, Generators, Scheduling
Coordinators, Participating Transmission Owners, Utility Distribution Companies, and
Metered Subsystems C'MSS'), which impose certain responsibilities on parties to establish a
reliable system. One of those responsibilities is to have operating reserves that meet the WECC
minimum requirements.
The CAISO's goal in considering reserve requirements is to balance available capacity with
demand across the entire CAISO control area and, therefore, CAISO's primary concem is with
the time and amount of peak demand on the CAlsO-controlled transmission system (the
"system peak"). In order to reduce demand during the period of the system peak (and,
therefore, to lower the peak demand on the transmission system), utilities generally offer retail
rate structures designed to encourage load shifting away from the on-peak period. Such efforts
are intended to achieve on-peak demand reduction and lower the need to build new generation
to meet peak demand. Vemon has adopted such a rate structure and has succeeded in shifting
the peak demand period for Vemon's system to a time that is generally earlier than the time of
the CAISO system peak.
Vemon's share of needed capacity to meet CAISO control area capacity requirements may be
established by determining the amount of Vemon's load that contributes to the CAISO system
peak. Vemon's load that contributes to the CAISO system peak is the City of Vemon
Coincident peak Demand. The process to establish Vemon's monthly coincident peak Demand
Forecast consists ofthe following three steps:
1. Establish Monthly Vernon System Peak Demand Forecast for 2018
To establish Vemon's System peak demand forecast, Staffperforms an analysis on the year
to year change in the City's energy demand peaks during a five year period. Based on the
results of the analysis, staff forecasts a load growth rate for the coming calendar year
(Exhibit l). This year's analysis shows that for the period between 2013 and 2017, the
Ciry of Vemon system peak demand has decreased l.2ol0. Closer review of Exhibit I
reveals that the decreases in system peak demand from 2016 to 2017 is 2.494%o. Based on
the current load trend and recent history of years ofstagnation, Staffconcluded that a 1.5%o
load reduction is an appropriate forecast for calendar year 2018. Exhibit 2 shows the
determination ofthe projected system peak demand for 2018 that incorporates a 1.5o/o load
reduction. The projected system peak demand for the City ofVemon is also shown below
in Table l.

2. Establish Coincidental Peak Factor
The coincidental peak factor is the percentage of the Ciry of Vemon's energy demand at
the time of the CAISO system peak demand. As set forth in Section 40 of the CAISO
Tariff, the coincidental peak factor for each month has been calculated and provided to the
City annually by the Califomia Energy Commission (CEC). The monthly coincidental peak
factor is shown in column C of Exhibit 3.
3. Calculate Monthly Coincident Peak Demand Forecast
The City of Vernon's Coincident Peak Demand forecast is calculated as the mathematical
product ofthe City of Vemon's forecasted System peak demand and the coincidental peak
factor. This reflects the City of Vemon's projected demand at the time of the CAISO
system peak demand for each month. The monthly coincident peak Demand Forecast is
calculated and listed in column D of Exhibit 3 for the period ofJanuary through December
20 t 8. It is also shown below in Table 2.

Reserve Margin for Planning PurDoses
The Reserve Margin is the amount of Resource Adequacy Capacity that an LSE must maintain
above its coincident peak Demand Forecast. Historically, the City of Vemon has established
its Reserve Margin at l5%. Staff has recommended that the City Council maintain the Reserve
Margin at l5%o for planning purposes. The 15% Reserve Margin was used to establish the
monthly Resource Adequacy obligation for the City of Vemon. The monthly Resource
Adequacy obligation is listed in column E of Exhibit 3.
Oualifvins Capacitv:
A Load Serving Entity must provide the CAISO with a description of the criteria that will be
used to determine the type ofresources that can be used to meet its capacity obligation and the
amount of capacity (QualiS/ing Capacity) from such resources. Historically Vemon has used
the following criterion to determine whether a resource qualifies: It qualifies if Vemon has a
contractual right to the power or has an intemrptible service agreement with a customer. The
six following resources fie among those that meet this criterion and provide Qualiflng
Capacity. The calculation for the amount of Qualifying Capacity the six eligible resource t)pes
follows:
l. CAISO lST-enabled Product. Power supply contracVs entered through WSPP
Agreement (MRTU Amendment) and defined as any SC-to-SC traded product for
which an IST (Inter-SC Trades) can be submitted and for which CAISO will make
payment or issue an invoice, including Energy, Tier I IFM Bid Cost Recovery
1
2.
J.
5.
4.
Obligations and Ancillary Service Obligation trades, as each defined in the Tariff.
Palo Verde. Vemon Purchase Power Contract with SCPPA for 4.9% of SCPPA's share
of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Palo Verde) shall be eligible as Qualiffing
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import generally at Westwing Substation
through the CAISO's entitlement of transmission from Wesnving to SP-15.
Boulder Canyon. Contract NO I6-DSR-12650 between United States Department of
Energy Westem Area Power Administration Boulder Canyon Project and City of
Vernon, Califomia for Electric Service shall be eligible to count as Qualiffing
Capacity. The power is scheduled as an import at Mead Substation generally through
the CAISO's entitlement oftransmission from Mead Substation to SP-15. The amount
of Qualiffing Capacity will be based on the most current schedule for the available
capacity from the Boulder Canyon Project at the time of submittal of the Resource
Adequacy Plan.
Vernon Units. Generating units and system units (but excluding Vemon diesel
generating units) within Vemon's MSS including the Malburg Generating Station and
the Ciry owned H. Gonzalez units, as reflected in Schedule 14 of Vemon's MSS
Agreement with CAISO shall be eligible to count as Qualifying Capacity. The amount
of Qualifying Capacity of such units will be based on the projected dependable gross
ouput capacify on a day when the ambient air temperature is 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Long Term Power Purchase Contracts. l,ong term power supply contracts (5 years or
more) entered through a power purchase agreement shall be eligible to count as
Qualifoing Capacity. The amount of Qualifying Capacity will be based on the City of
Vemon's percentage share ofthe contracted capacity quantity. For the upcoming year,
the following contracts will count as Qualiffing Capacity, Antelope DSR I Solar
Project, Astoria 2 Solar Project and Puente Hills Landfill Gas-To-Energy Facility.
6. Other Unils. All other capacity from a Participating Generator, a System Unit, or a
System Resource, as defined in the CAISO Tariff, shall be eligible as Qualiffing
Capaciry. System Resources, however, must have a firm transmission path from source
to the CAISO control area. Such criteria for firm transmission facilities over the
CAISO control area can be satisfied with the possession of a firm transmission right
from the CAISO on the path associated with the System Resource. Firm transmission
rights provide physical priority right to schedule over congested paths.
7 . Interruptible Service Agreements. Intemrptible Service Agreements with the Ciry's
Electrical customers. Currently Vemon has an Intemrptible Service Agreement where
the customer agrees to interrupt 12.65 MW of load within a 30 minute notification. A
period of intemrption can occur upon notification from the Independent System
Operator (ISO) requiring the City to shed load or upon the unscheduled outage of the
Malburg Generating Station ("MGS") or any other generating unit intemal to the City's
system.
Annual and Monthlv Resource Adeouacv and Supolv data:
The CAISO Tariffrequires that the scheduling coordinator of a load serving entity provide an
annual and a monthly Resource Adequacy Plan (S ection 40.2.2.4) using the required templates
and submitted on the set schedules. Furthermore, the scheduling coordinator of a resource
providing resource adequacy must submit both an annual and monthly Supply Plan (Section
40.4.7.1) using the required templates and submitted on the set schedules. Therefore, the City
of Vemon as a load serving entity and a scheduling coordinator for resource adequacy
resources must submit a Resource Adequacy and Supply Plan on the set schedules. Staffhas
prepared the Annual Resource Adequacy (Exhibit a) and Supply data (Exhibit 5) for calendar
year 2018. Staffwill submit the monthly Resource Adequacy and Supply data to the CAISO
as they become due. The data to be submitted on the monthly plans will be consistent with the
Annual Resource Adequacy and Supply Plan and may be adjusted for seasonal variations as
well as load and resource changes. The monthly plan is due to the CAISO 45 days prior to the
beginning of the month.

Local Caoacitv Area Resources:
In accordance with Section 40.3 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually publishes a Local
Capacity Technical Study that determines the amount of local capacity needed in the Los
Angeles Basin area that must be available to the CAISO. Based on the Local Capacity
Technical Srudy, the CAISO allocates responsibility for Local Capacity Area Resources to the
Scheduling Coordinators of the LSEs. The CAISO validates that the Scheduling Coordinator
list enough local resources in its Resource Adequacy data templates to satisry its obligation.
Staffhas prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station, Puente Hills Landfill Cas-To-
Energy Faciliry and the City owned H. Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the
Local Area Capacity requirement for the City of Vemon.
Flexible Resource Adeouacv Caoacitv:
In accordance with Section 40.10 of the CAISO Tariff, CAISO annually conducts a study to
determine the Flexible Capacity Need for the CAISO Balancing Authority Area for each month
of the next calendar year and provides the results of the study to each Local Regulatory
Authority in the CAISO Balancing Authority Area. Flexible resources are resources with the
potential to ramp up and down quickly and have the capability to start and shut down multiple
times per day. The need for flexible capacity is a result ofthe CAISO managing a greener
grid. The increase of variable energy resources and distributed generation has presented
significant challenges to grid reliabiliry. These types ofresources are projected to continue to
increase in the future which will create an increase in supply and load variability and
unpredictability within the CAISO system. In order for the CAISO to efficiently operate the
grid, it needs measures to ensure that flexible resources are economically bid into the CAISO
markets and as a result optimally dispatch them.
The CAISO study calculates the total system amount of Flexible Capacity needed for each of
the three Flexible Capacity Categories. The three categories are: ( I ) base ramping flexibility;
(2) peak ramping flexibility; and (3) super-peak ramping flexibility. Section 40.10.3 of the
CAISO Tariff sets the criteria needed by resources to qualifu for each category. For the
Calendar Year 2018, the CAISO has determined the system-wide Flexible Capacity needs and
has notified each LSE their monthly requirement. Exhibit 6lists the City's Flexible Capacity
requirement by month and category. Furthermore, the CAISO has established the Effective
Flexible Capacity for each resource and the category of Flexible Capacity each will qualify for
the upcoming compliance year. For Calendar Year 20[8, the CAISO has established 78 MW
of category I base ramping flexible resources adequacy capacity for Malburg Generating
Station, and 5.75 MW category I base ramping flexible resource adequacy capacity for each
H. Gonzales Unit (Exhibit 7). CAISO Tariff Section 40. 10.5. I requires the Scheduling
Coordinators of LSEs to identify the resources it will rely on to satisfy its Flexible Resource
Adequacy Capacity on both the annual and monthly Resource Adequacy data templates.
Staffhas prepared the Resource Adequacy data templates (Exhibit 4) which lists the Resource
Adequacy Resources including the Malburg Generating Station and the City owned H.
Gonzalez units that will be counted on to satisfy the Flexible Resource Adequacy Capaciry
requirement for the City of Vemon.

PUBLIC UTILITIE
DATE:
TO:
FROM:
RE:
October 17,2017
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Kelly Nguyen, General Manager of Public Utilities W
Award of a Management Consulting Services Agreement with Black &
Veatch for Asset Acquisition Advisory & Support Services
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from Califomia Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") review, because it is an administrative activiry that will not result
in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not
constitute a "project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Approve a Management Consulting Services Agreement with Black & Veatch for
services regarding Asset Acquisition Advisory & Support Services, for a fixed amount
not-to-exceed $105,000 over the one-year term of the agreement and an additional
$10,000 for estimated travel expenses, which are reimbursable at cost; and
C. Authorize the City Administrator to execute a Management Consulting Services
Agreement, in substantially the same form as submitted herewith, with Black & Veatch;
and
D. Authorize the City Administrator to issue change orders, if necessary, that may increase
compensation for Black & Veatch in an amount not-to-exceed $15,000 over the one-year
term of the agreement.
Background
The City built the Malburg Generating Station ("MGS") in 2005 and later sold it to Bicent
(Califomia) Malburg, LLC ("Bicent") in 2008. MGS is a 120 MW base-load and 134 MW tull-
load natural gas-fired combined cycle plant. Pusuant ro a Power Purchase and Tolling
Agreement C'PPTA') with the Bicent, the City purchases all of the capaciry and energy from the
power plant through 2023, with a possible extension through 2028. The Ciry is responsible for
supplying the power plant with natural gas fuel, and makes capacity and energy payments.
The capacity and energy payments under the PPTA represent a significant portion ofthe Vernon
Public Utilities Department C'VPII) operating cost. In order to alleviate the burden of the PPTA
Page 1 of3
costs on the Department's operating cost and on the electric rates on its customers, staff sought
to evaluate if it would make technical and financial sense to acquire back the MGS in lieu of the
capacity and energy payments to Bicent through the term ofthe PPTA.
In order to perform required due diligence, the City seeks to retain a consultant to provide
consulting services for Asset Acquisition Advisory & Support Services. The consultant will
perform engineering and financial evaluation of the power plant, determine its fair market value,
and develop strategies to maximize value for the City. The consultant will be expected to identify
and quantiff risk areas associated with acquisition and to properly assess the plant's risk profiles
and operating characteristics through engineering, financial modeling and other methods.
On August 31, 2Ol7 , City staff properly publicized the Request for Proposal C'RFP') for Asset
Acquisition Advisory & Support Services for the Vernon hrblic Utilities Department, &s stated
in Vemon Municipal Code section 2.17.14 requirements. The City received a total of two (2)
timely proposals from qualified firms. The two firms that provided proposals were Black &
Veatch ("B&V") and Goldman Sachs. B&V was the only firm that submitted a proposal to
perform both the technical and financial valuation of the plant. A panel of City staff was
assembled and selected B&V to be the most suitable firm to perform the services listed in the
R-FP.
While B&V has proposed to provide additional asset acquisition consulting services, at this time
staff is seeking approval to retain B&V for the following Iimited services:
(l) Technical due diligence which will include review of the general plant design, assessment of
the general condition of the facility, performance assessment, operations & maintenance
('o&M) practices and costs assessment, environmental compliance review, and contractual
obligations review. The due diligence will focus on assessing the facility's risk profile and
identiffing technical and financial inputs to be utilized in the financial evaluation and fair
market value determination of the faciliry.
(2) Financial Valuation which will include a fair market value estimate of the facility by
developing a valuation model that reflects the cash flow expected to be produced by the
facility. B&V will also produce comparable asset and cost based valuations for information
pwposes.
Therefore, staff recommends the Ciry Council to retain Asset Acquisition Advisory Services
from B&V as proposed. This agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attomey's
office.
Fiscal Imoact
The proposed fixed amount is $105,000, with the cumulative total contract value not-to-exceed
$ 130,000 (which includes the rough estimate for travel reimbursement of $ 10,000 and an amount
for any necessary change orders of $15,000) for the consulting services. This project will be
included in the Vemon Public Utilities consulting services budget for 2017-2018 budget.

assessment, Black & Veatch will assess the facility's risk profi[e and identifo technical and
financial inputs to be utilized in the financial evaluation and fair market value
determination ofthe facility. The independent engineering report produced by the due
diligence assessment process can be utilized to assist in securing financing for the
acquisition as well as provide information to be utilized in the bidding and contract
negotiation processes.
For the second task, Black & Veatch will utilize the findings and outputs ofthe due diligence
assessment in coniunction with a market analysis/forecast to produce a pro forma financial
forecasL This pro forma financial forecast will provide a determination of the fair market
value of the facility which can be utilized in the bidding and contract negotiation processes'
Third, Black & Veatch offers to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment identify

feedback and comments, Black & Veatch will issue one Final Report.
BLACK & VEATCH I WORK PI.AN 4
For the above tasks, Black & Veatch assumes that all relevant documents, including
permits, environmental impact analyses and reports, contracts, historical per[ormance and
costs, historical maintenance reports and costs, agreements, and other pertinent
information will be made available in the electronic data room upon notice to proceed.
Task 2 - Valuation
Valuation Approaches and Selection
The focus ofthe Black & Veatch valuation will be to produce an estimate that reflects the
fair value ofthe facility. There are three general approaches used to determine fair value,
which are discussed and evaluated for appropriateness for the portfolio. The three
approaches are:
. Comparable Asset Valuations.
o Cost Based Valuations.. Discounted Cash Flow or Earnings Based Valuations.
comparable Asset valuation3
This type of valuation establishes a fair market value by evaluating the selling price of
comparable assets recently transacted. The logic behind this approach is that, assuming
that bidders were provided with complete information and not restricted in any way from
biddin6 the market bidding process results in awarding the asset to the highest bidder at
the market clearing price. This price is the highest amount the market was willing to offer
for comparable assets and is one estimate of the amount that the market will determine as
the fair value of the assets in question. The comparable asset valuation approach has
limitations for power transactions. However, Black & Veatch's analysis will include a
comparable asset sale valuation for information.
CDst Based Valuatlons
A second general method of establishing a fair market value is the cost based approach.
Cost based approaches focus on the cost of constructing the physical assets being valued;
adiusted to recognize any decrease in value of the asset due to reduced remaining service
life compared to a new facility.
Generally, the replacement cost less depreciation (RCLD) method ofcost based valuation
involves inspection ofthe existing assets and current and historical operation and
maintenance practices to determine the remaining life of the asseL The reproduction cost is
then adiusted to reflect the remaining life ofthe asset The result is the estimated fair value
ofthe asseL Black & Veatch's analysis will include a cost based valuation for information
purposes.
Dlscounted Cash Flow
Discounted cash flow or earnings valuations (pro forma type modelJ are based on the
fundamental notion that the market value of any asset is the present value of future cash
BTACK & VEATCH I WORK PI.AN 5
CITY OF VERNON I ASSET ACQUISITION ADVISORY SERVICE
flows that the asset is expected to provide. Stated differently, a firm considering the
purchase ofan asset is not willing to pay more than the cash flows generated by the asset,
discounted (to the time the investment is made) at the firm's required rate of return or
discount rate. Thus, as opposed to cost based methods, the discounted cash flow method
focuses on the future net cash flows generated by the asset
ln typical fair market valuations of assets expected to continue operations into the future,
the discounted cash flow valuation generally provides the best indication ofvalue. Black &
Veatch will produce an estimate that reflects the fair market value ofthe facility by
developing a valuation model that reflects the cash flow expected to be produced by the
facility.
Task 2.1 - Development of Valuation Model
Using information obtained from Task 1.7 ofthe technical due diligence effort and Black &
Veatch's internal database of power plant cost/performance characteristics, Black & Veatch
will derive technical inputs for use in the evaluation including seasonal capacities,
availability, planned and forced outage rates, heat rate curve, variable O&M costs,
minimum up and down times, and energy ramp rates. Black & Veatch will utilize the
PROMOD IV/PAT production cost model to determine the facility's projected dispatch
factor. The model is an integrated electric model that relies upon a fundamental market
view of commodity prices, existing generation supply and demand projections, and other
factors on which to produce a long term forecast of energy prices. Black & Veatch draws on
both public and commercial data sources to produce the assumptions for the fundamental
market model and supplements them with its own view on key market drivers, such as
power plant capital costs, environmental and regulatory policy, natural gas exploration and
development costs, and gas pipeline expansions.
Black & Veatch will then take a step-by-step approach to develop a proiection of the cash
flows associated with the assets. The systematic approach will involve the development of
assumptions and proiections of cash flows in the following areas for each year in the
analysis:
o Revenues. Fuel Costs. Staffing Costs
o Maintenance Costsr Overhead Costs
o Miscellaneous Expenses. Debt Service Costs
o Estimates of Depreciation for Tax Purposes. Tax Payments and Payments in Lieu of Taxes
ln addition, Black & Veatch will forecast any revenues related to contracted PPAs or other
such agreements. Black & Veatch will also utilize short term forecasts ofoperation
expenses and capital expenditures provided by the plant and work conducted in Task 1 to
develop a long-term forecast of operating expenses and capital expenditures over the
Bt-acK & VEATCH I WORX PLAN 6BV COM
CITY OF VERNON I ASSET ACQUISITION ADVISORY SERVICE
evaluation period. With these forecasts, Black & Veatch will develop a cash flow model to
supportthe valuation analysis. The cash flow model will utilize estimates ofmaintenance
and capex expenses required to keep the facility in working order over the evaluation
period.
Task 2.2 - Reports and Documentation
Black & Veatch will document the valuation findings in a consolidated Draft Report section
planned to be an appendix to the independent engineer's reporL The report will document
the valuation methodolory, major assumptions, underlying analyses, and the resultant fair
market valuation estimate.
Task 3 - Phase I Site Assessment
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment will be performed to identifu recognized
environmental conditions in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for
Environmental Site Assessments: Phase One Environmental Site Assessment Process (E
1527 -13). Information to be reviewed will include standard historical sources back to
1940 or the first developed use ofthe property, and record searches for the site and
surrounding properties of standard ASTM E 1527 -73 environmental sources. Interviews
with state and local government officials, owners, occupants, and/or other persons who are
familiar with the property will also be conducted. An environmental professional will
perform a site reconnaissance and automobile tour. The findings will be summarized in a
brief report submitted electronically. It has been assumed that standard client-supplied
information will be made available prior to initiation of the assessmen! including but not
limited to the exact street address and legal description of the property, property boundary
and facility maps, chain-of-title information, known historical use, and other available
background information.
Task 4 - Asset Acquisition Consulting Services
Per tasks 1, 2 and 3 above, Black & Veatch will produce deliverables including an
independent engineering report, a valuation report, a valuation model, and a Phase I site
assessment which will be used by the City to support the acquisition process including
bidding financing and closing. Additionally, Black & Veatch will provide consulting
services, as required, to support the acquisition process including providing expert advice
during bidding contract negotiations, and closing and responding to lender inquiries to

National Grid; Environmental lmpact Assessment; Massachusetts,
United States; 2015-2076
Air Quality Specialist - BIack & Veatch. National Grid, together with
its partners, has proposed the construction of two interstate natural
gas pipelines in the Northeastern United States; the Tennessee
Northeast Enerry Direct pipeline and the Algonquin Access Northeast
pipeline. National Grid is required to file testimony in the state of
Rhode lsland detailing the impacts of the portion of the proiects that
will be constructed in Rhode lsland. Black & Veatch was tasked with
developing the environmental impact assessment to support this
testimony. The environmental impact assessment developed by Black
& veatch consisted of a hybrid qualitative/quantitative analysis that
addressed three key impacts ofthe prolecs; 1. How increased
availability and utilization of natural gas resulting from the projects
may impact the ambient air quality in Rhode Island and the
surrounding airshed, as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; 2.
The non-air environmental impacts associated with the proposed
proiects; and 3. The environmental impacts associated with the
modification ofan existing compressor station in Rhode Island.
Following preparation of the environmental impact assessment, Black
& Veatch continued to support NationaI Grid throughout the process
by providing expert testimony on the assessment throughout the state
filing process.
Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas); Environmental
Permitting Assessment; California, United States; 2076-2016
Air Permitting Specialist - Black & Veatch. Southern California Gas
Company was exploring a potential proiect in which pipeline quality
fuel gas would be derived from commonly available bio-waste
materials. The process involved conversion ofbio-waste into a raw
gas before impurities were removed to refine the gas into a pipeline
quality product. Three options to produce this gas were evaluated;
anaerobic digestion utilizing municipal waste as feedstock, anaerobic
digestion utilizing agricultural waste as feedstock, and gasification
technology utilizing woody biomass as feedstock. Black & Veatch
performed a permitting assessment in order to identify the air
regulations and permitting requirements that would apply to the
various emissions sources included in each of the proposed options as
well as emission targets for each source. AIong with federal
regulations, Black & Veatch assessed the local regulations of the
applicable air quality management districts IAQMDs), which included
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), the San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District [SfVAPCD), and the
Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District IMDAQMD).

Air Permitting Specialist - Black & veatch. A confidential client
retained Black & Veatch to perform an air permitting assessment for a
potential combustion turbine test facility. The client was particularly
concerned about the potential for applicable air regulations to require
the facility to install selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in order to
conffol NOX emissions, as such a requirement would be considered a
fatal flaw for the facility development Black & Veatch evaluated and
summarized state and federal air regulations potentially applicable to
the proposed Proiect and detailed the various analyses required
should the facility be applicable to the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) pre-construction permitting program. Given the
client's concerns regarding the potential requirement to install SCR,
Black & Veatch included a thorough discussion on the PSD
requirement to install Best Available Control Technolory (BACT),
focusing on the requirement that BACT must be determined to be
both technologically and economically feasible. Black & Veatch
qualitatively demonstrated that the unique design challenges and
related costs associated with fitting a post-combustion control on a
facility where multiple turbines would be tested provided possible
avenues to demonstrate that SCR would be not be technologically or

soil. Before the removal action could proceed, asbestos abatement and
demolition ofseveral site buildings were required. Groundwater
monitoring is ongoing to assess contaminant migration, which is
complicated by an upgradient chlorinated solvent site. A vapor
intrusion assessment, involving both soil gas and indoor air
monitoring, was completed to determine ifgroundwater
contamination poses a risk to neighboring residents.
Following completion ofsite investigation and assessment, a removal
action was completed at the Norfolk site. Building demolition and soil
removal were complicated by the presence ofa building and
underground communications line adiacent to the excavation area.
Sheet piling was installed in sections to prevent undermining the
building and utility line. Improvements to the structural integrity of
the building wall along the excavation were required to protect the
wall from damage during sheet piling and excavation. Sheet piling
allowed for successful excavation ofthe site without damage to either
building or communications line. A vapor intrusion assessment and
groundwater monitoring are ongoing.
At the Beatrice site, investigations, human health and ecological risk
assessments, and feasibility studies have been completed. Removal
actions have been proposed to address residual soil contamination
