Regional Economic Development for Eastern Idaho (REDI) Energy Technology and Environment Working Group
(ETEG):
Mayor Casper introduced Mr. Marlow. She also recognized REDI Executive Director Dana Kirkham, noting this is
the last week for Ms. Kirkham at REDI. Teresa McKnight will be replacing Ms. Kirkham.
Mr. Marlow stated ETEG is under the umbrella of REDI. He then presented the following with general discussion
throughout:
ETEG is a volunteer group to study new opportunities and help the community better understand them. This happens
by participating in community meetings; providing educational materials; writing commentary; producing reference
materials; and, engaging with industry partners. Mr. Marlow stated ETEG has been presented in various cities.
ETEG Subcommittees - Small Modular Reactor (SMR), Nuclear Working Group, and, Technology Committee.
Upcoming opportunities:
Naval Spent Fuel Handling Facility
Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) SMR
National Reactor Innovation Center
Are We Ready To Address These Opportunities?
The Idaho National Laboratory
Local advocacy brought the lab to Eastern Idaho
The result - 70 years of landmark research – more than 4,000 employees (sixth largest employer in Idaho);
about $150M spent in 2018 on Idaho-based subcontractors; greater than $600K in charitable donations
in 2018; and, over $2B in total economic impact in 2018
The Competition - across the Department of Energy (DOE) complex
Advocacy Is Just The First Step
Regional small business needs
Anticipated shortage of quality housing
Higher graduation rates for BS and Grad students
Untapped talent
Bringing up the rear: Idaho ranks near bottom for educated workforce
Mr. Marlow expressed his appreciation to the Council. He reviewed additional contact information. General
comments followed.
Ladder Truck Lease/Purchase Discussion:
Chief Nelson stated the lease purchase, under the new proposal, would allow the potential to purchase large pieces
of equipment. This lease would replace a current aerial apparatus ladder truck that is ready for reserve. Chief Nelson
stated there was not previous adequate planning within the Idaho Falls Fire Department (IFFD) for large purchases
of vehicles. Approximately four (4) years ago the IFFD discussed with Council compliance with the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 1901 Standard and, operating the apparatus on a schedule that would allow a 15-year
front line use and then placed into reserve for ten (10) years. This would allow the equipment to have a 25-year life
span. At that time most of the fleet was 20 years old or older. The IFFD would be in-line with the NFPA Standard
with this final piece of equipment and would also solidify the Municipal Equipment Replacement Fund (MERF) for
the future of the IFFD. Chief Nelson stated the NFPA 1901 Standard, for National and industry best practices, is
updated every three (3) years and identified through peer review. He noted there is also current discussion regarding
cancer and clean cabs within the IFFD. Chief Nelson stated the reserve aerial apparatus ladder truck is being used
front line as there is currently no reserve apparatus. The lack of reserve apparatus affects the Insurance Service Office
2
June 24, 2019
(ISO) rating. Chief Nelson stated, based on the Standard, the current ladder truck should be put into reserve in 2021.
A ladder truck is an 18-month build and is estimated at $1.4M if completely customized. Chief Nelson does not
believe all customizations are needed for this community. Any contracts would be presented to the Council in
October. Deputy Chief Coffey presented a video of the proposed ladder truck. He stated the truck has a mid-mount
aerial, the clearance is lower, and, there is a tighter turning radius. Chief Nelson noted, per discussion with Legal
staff and Municipal Services, a lease purchase is not the cheapest option for the truck. Option 1 – cash up front would
be a $70,000 saving. This funding is not available in the MERF account. Option 2 – put money into MERF ($450,000
annually) and save for three (3) years. This option would not meet the schedule, would put the IFFD approximately
three (3) years out of compliance of the NFPA, and, would be the most expensive option due to inflation increases.
Option 3 – the lease purchase with a five-year term of ~$297,000 annually. There would be a contract with a build-
out over the next several months. The contract would be finalized with a lock-in price. The first payment would be
due in the following year with a six-month delivery date. Councilmember Smede questioned the insurance. Chief
Nelson indicated Idaho Counties Risk Management Program (ICRMP) covers the equipment. He does not believe
there would be issues with a contract. This equipment could/would not be used for wildland fire, State emergencies,
or, out of State fires. At the end of the five-year payments, the ladder truck would belong to the City and would be
used for 20 years. It could then be sold at the end of the 25 years. Mr. Kirkham stated, per Legal review of the contract,
the Council could stop the lease at any time although the City would be out of any money at that point. There would
be no penalty to walk away. Chief Nelson stated MERF would continue to be funded and funds are being allocated
for future purchases. He noted the next engine will need purchased in 2024/2025. General discussion followed. Chief
Nelson stated a contract will be presented in October 2019 to proceed forward.
Personal Concerns and Proposed Changes to the Police Personnel Manual:
Chief Johnson stated, per requirements of the Police Personnel Manual, the first of three (3) meetings has occurred.
He stated four (4) items were discussed although, following conversation with Legal staff, it was determined one (1)
suggestion regarding the Crime Stoppers phone was not allowed. He reviewed the following proposed additions with
general discussion throughout:
Certificate pay – this is currently being paid to officers and dispatch employees and would not change the previous
practice. This certificate pay would apply to additional certificates/incentive for additional training from Peace
Officer Standards and Training (POST). The total cost for the increased dispatch certificate pay would be $7,686.00.
The certificate pay would apply to sworn police officers and dispatch employees only.
Language pay – this is currently being paid for Spanish speaking employees. This language pay would apply to an
employee who fluently speaks a second language other than English, including American Sign Language, as certified
by an appropriate test. Mayor Casper believes the intent of demographic users needs to be clarified.
Uniform allowance – a sworn police officer who is not issued a uniform shall receive a uniform allowance as long as
the employee is not issued a uniform. This would apply to sworn police officers only.
Chief Johnson reviewed wage comparisons for ten (10) comparable cities for sworn entry, five (5) years, sworn top
out, and, years to top out. He stated the IFPD is at comparable levels with the exception of Years to Top Out (IFPD
is at 22 years). He indicated the goal is to be at 18 years over the course of the next four (4) years. He proposed a
separate police scale which would be comparable to the current step and grade scale and would recognize the different
ranks. He indicated this change would amount to an increase of $17,000 for the upcoming budget year.
Councilmembers requested data for Years to Top Out at 15 years. The proposed pay scale would be effective October
1. This item will be included on a future Council Meeting agenda.
Business License Appeal Hearing:
Captain Squires stated Ms. Ruoho was denied a child care license as she was arrested in May 2017 for several charges.
He indicated the denial was based on City Code 6-3-8(D) having been found guilty of or received a withheld judgment
for a crime involving any controlled substance. Mayor Casper stated the City Council has the ability to overrule the
denial if they feel there is compelling reason. Ms. Ruoho stated she had just turned 18 years old, was trying to figure
out who she was, and, was hanging around the wrong individuals. She indicated those individuals are now excluded
from her life. She now has a 4-month old daughter, is the only parent in her daughter’s life, and, child care is the only
career she wants to pursue. She knew those charges would jeopardize her future. Ms. Ruoho stated she has worked
very hard to get to where she is today. Councilmember Radford questioned drug testing with the potential employer.
3
June 24, 2019
Ms. Ruoho confirmed there is drug testing. Captain Squires stated if a drug test with the employer resulted in a
positive test and termination, the City license would still be valid for two (2) years. Mr. Kirkham confirmed drug
testing would be a private issue with the employer. Councilmember Francis questioned additional charges. Ms. Ruoho
stated this is the only charge she has ever received. Councilmember Smede questioned the disclosure of this charge
on the application. Captain Squires stated Ms. Ruoho initially applied for a child care license in 2015 and this was a
renewal of the license. Mr. Kirkham confirmed the renewal application does not require the same paperwork as a
new application. Ms. Hampton stated an individual’s information would stay in the system for five (5) years to prevent
duplication of licensing. To the response of several Councilmembers, Ms. Ruoho reviewed her employment history
and future plans for an education. She noted she was not working at a child care facility at the time of the charge.
Following additional general discussion, comments, and questions Mayor Casper requested a roll call vote. She stated
a ‘Yes’ vote would overrule the denial, approve the appeal, and, issue the child care license. A ‘No’ vote would
uphold the original denial. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Francis, Freeman, Radford, Smede, Hally.
Nay – none. Motion carried. Mayor Casper encouraged Ms. Ruoho get on a plan to further her education.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:52

Lease/Purchase of New Ladder Truck
Attached for discussion at the June 24, 2019, work session are associated documents for the
lease/purchase program from Pierce Manufacturing. Over the last several years the Fire
Department has worked to become and maintain compliance with the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 1901 Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus.
This Standard sets minimum standards for mechanical, safety, lighting as well as all
equipment that should be included with fire apparatus to be standards compliant in the United
States. The NFPA 1901 Standard also sets as a guideline that Fire Apparatus are to be
utilized for 25 years. This time is established as a front-line working apparatus for the first
15 years followed by 10 years in reserve status. Based on this standard we have adopted; our
current ladder truck should become a reserve piece of equipment in 2021.
The quoted price to replace a ladder truck is $1,415,930.00. Attached you will see that
utilizing a 5-year term the annual payments will be $297,044.03 and entering into the
contract for the FY19/20 the first payment will not be due for one calendar year after signing
as the vehicle will not be ready for delivery for 18 months following the agreement as it takes
this time to build this type of apparatus. This option does cost slightly more than that of
paying for a vehicle outright. Approximately $8000.00 determined by review from City
Finance and accounting for a standard 3% increase in cost annually.
The lease/purchase program has undergone reviews by the Fire Department, City Legal and
Municipal Services Purchasing and Finance Departments. This purchase will secure our
ability to maintain NFPA compliance while preserving the established Fire Department
MERF contributions and addressing vehicle and apparatus needs of the future.

fiscal year in which the Lease Term commences; and that it intends to make Rent Payments for the full
Lease Term as scheduled on the applicable Schedule A-1 so long as funds are appropriated in each fiscal
year by its governing body. Lessee reasonably believes that moneys in an amount sufficient to make all
Rent Payments can and will lawfully be appropriated and made available therefor. All Rent Payments shall
be payable out of the general funds of Lessee or out of other funds legally available therefor. Lessor agrees
that the Leases will not be general obligations of Lessee and that the Leases shall not constitute pledges
of either the full faith and credit of Lessee or the taxing power of Lessee.
6.2 If Lessee’s governing body fails to appropriate sufficient funds in any fiscal year for Rent
Payments or other payments due under a Lease and if other funds are not available for such payments,

all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by the affected Lease, at Lessee’s sole expense, in

provided further, that Lessee shall pay month-to-month rent at the rate set forth in the affected Lease for
each month or part thereof that Lessee fails to return the Equipment under this Section 6.2. “Return Date”

8.1 Upon Lessee’s acceptance of any Equipment under its Lease, title to the Equipment shall vest
in Lessee, subject to Lessor’s security interest therein and all of Lessor’s other rights under such Lease
including, without limitation, Sections 6, 20 and 21 hereof.
8.2 As collateral security for the Secured Obligations, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a first priority
security interest in any and all of the Equipment (now existing or hereafter acquired) and any and all

and perfect such security interest, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing
statements and any amendments thereto.
8.3 “Secured Obligations” means Lessee’s obligations to pay all Rent Payments and all other
amounts due and payable under all present and future Leases and to perform and observe all covenants,
agreements and conditions (direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or existing or

9. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All Equipment is and will remain personal property and will not be deemed
to be affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon.

the Equipment; and (b) use and operate all Equipment in a careful manner in the normal course of its
operations and only for the purposes for which it was designed in accordance with the manufacturer’s

maintenance agreement by a party reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. No maintenance or other service for
any Equipment will be provided by Lessor. Lessee will not make any alterations, additions or improvements
(“Improvements”) to any Equipment without Lessor’s prior written consent unless the Improvements may
be readily removed without damage to the operation, value or utility of such Equipment, but any such
Improvements not removed prior to the termination of the applicable Lease shall automatically become part
of the Equipment.
11. LOCATION; INSPECTION. Equipment will not be removed from, or if Equipment is rolling stock its
permanent base will not be changed from, the Location without Lessor’s prior written consent which will not
be unreasonably withheld. Upon reasonable notice to Lessee, Lessor may enter the Location or elsewhere
during normal business hours to inspect the Equipment.
12. LIENS, SUBLEASES AND TAXES.
12.1 Lessee shall keep all Equipment free and clear of all Liens except those Liens created under
its Lease. Lessee shall not sublet or lend any Equipment or permit it to be used by anyone other than
Lessee or Lessee’s employees.
12.2 Lessee shall pay when due all Taxes which may now or hereafter be imposed upon any
Equipment or its ownership, leasing, rental, sale, purchase, possession or use, upon any Lease or upon
any Rent Payments or any other payments due under any Lease. If Lessee fails to pay such Taxes when
due, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. If Lessor pays any such Taxes,
then Lessee shall, upon demand, immediately reimburse Lessor therefor. “Taxes” means present and
future taxes, levies, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are not based on the net
income of Lessor, whether they are assessed to or payable by Lessee or Lessor, including, without
limitation (a) sales, use, excise, licensing, registration, titling, gross receipts, stamp and personal property
taxes, and (b) interest, penalties or fines on any of the foregoing.
13. RISK OF LOSS.
13.1 Lessee bears the entire risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Equipment in whole
or in part from any reason whatsoever (“Casualty Loss”). No Casualty Loss to any Equipment shall relieve
Lessee from the obligation to make any Rent Payments or to perform any other obligation under any Lease.
Proceeds of any insurance recovery will be applied to Lessee’s obligations under this Section 13.
13.2 If a Casualty Loss occurs to any Equipment, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the
same and Lessee shall, unless otherwise directed by Lessor, immediately repair the same.
13.3 If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty Loss beyond repair
(“Lost Equipment”), then Lessee shall either: (a) immediately replace the Lost Equipment with similar
equipment in good repair, condition and working order free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor’s Liens)
and deliver to Lessor a bill of sale covering the replacement equipment, in which event such replacement
equipment shall automatically be Equipment under the applicable Lease; or (b) on the next scheduled Rent
Payment date, pay Lessor (i) all amounts owed by Lessee under the applicable Lease, including the Rent
Payment due on such date plus (ii) an amount equal to the applicable Termination Value set forth in the
Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease. If Lessee is making such payment with respect to less than all
of the Equipment under a Lease, then Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Rent
Payment and Termination Value to be paid by Lessee with respect to the Lost Equipment.
13.4 Lessee shall bear the risk of loss for, shall pay directly, and shall defend against any and all
claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), damages or
losses arising under or related to any Equipment, including, but not limited to, the possession, ownership,
lease, use or operation thereof. These obligations of Lessee shall survive any expiration or termination of
any Lease. Lessee shall not bear the risk of loss of, nor pay for, any claims, liabilities, proceedings, actions,
expenses (including attorney’s fees), damages or losses which arise directly from events occurring after
any Equipment has been returned by Lessee to Lessor in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Lease or which arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor.
14. INSURANCE.
14.1 (a) Lessee at its sole expense shall at all times keep all Equipment insured against all risks of
loss or damage from every cause whatsoever for an amount not less than the Termination Value of the
Equipment. Proceeds of any such insurance covering damage or loss of any Equipment shall be payable
to Lessor as loss payee. (b) The Total Amount Financed as set forth on the Schedule A-1 does not include
the payment of any premium for any liability insurance coverage for bodily injury and/or property damage
caused to others and no such insurance will be purchased by Lessor. (c) Lessee at its sole expense shall
at all times carry public liability and property damage insurance in amounts reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor protecting Lessee and Lessor from liabilities for injuries to persons and damage to property of others
relating in any way to any Equipment. Proceeds of any such public liability or property insurance shall be
payable first to Lessor as additional insured to the extent of its liability, and then to Lessee.
14.2 All insurers shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor
satisfactory evidence of required insurance coverage and all renewals and replacements thereof. Each
insurance policy will require that the insurer give Lessor at least 30 days prior written notice of any
cancellation of such policy and will require that Lessor’s interests remain insured regardless of any act,
error, misrepresentation, omission or neglect of Lessee. The insurance maintained by Lessee shall be
primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor.
15. PURCHASE OPTION. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice by Lessee to Lessor, and so long as
there is no Event of Default then existing, Lessee shall have the option to purchase all, but not less than
all, of the Equipment covered by a Lease on any Rent Payment due date by paying to Lessor all Rent
Payments then due (including accrued interest, if any) plus the Termination Value amount set forth on the
Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease for such date. Upon satisfaction by Lessee of such purchase
conditions, Lessor shall release its Lien on such Equipment and Lessee shall retain its title to such
Equipment “AS-IS, WHERE-IS,” without representation or warranty by Lessor, express or implied, except
for a representation that such Equipment is free and clear of any Liens created by Lessor.
16. LESSEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. With respect to each Lease and its
Equipment, Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that:
(a) Lessee has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Lease and to perform
its obligations under the Lease, and all such actions have been duly authorized by appropriate findings and
actions of Lessee’s governing body;
(b) the Lease has been duly executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of Lessee, enforceable in accordance with its terms;
(c) the Lease is authorized under, and the authorization, execution and delivery of the Lease
complies with, all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations (including, but not limited to, all
open meeting, public bidding and property acquisition laws) and all applicable judgments and court orders;
(d) the execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of its obligations under the Lease will not
result in a breach or violation of, nor constitute a default under, any agreement, lease or other instrument
to which Lessee is a party or by which Lessee’s properties may be bound or affected;
(e) there is no pending, or to the best of Lessee’s knowledge threatened, litigation of any nature
which may have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under the Lease;
and
(f) Lessee is a state, or a political subdivision thereof, as referred to in Section 103 of the Code,
and Lessee’s obligation under the Lease constitutes an enforceable obligation issued on behalf of a state
or a political subdivision thereof.
17. TAX COVENANTS. Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that:
(a) Lessee shall comply with all of the requirements of Section 149(a) and Section 149(e) of the
Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, and such compliance shall include, but not be
limited to, keeping a complete and accurate record of any assignments of any Lease and executing and
filing Internal Revenue Form 8038G or 8038GC, as the case may be, and any other information statements
reasonably requested by Lessor;
(b) Lessee shall not do (or cause to be done) any act which will cause, or by omission of any act
allow, any Lease to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code or any Lease
to be a “private activity bond” within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code; and
(c) Lessee shall not do (or cause to be done) any act which will cause, or by omission of any act
allow, the interest portion of any Rent Payments to be or become includable in gross income for Federal
income taxation purposes under the Code.
(d) If Lessor either (i) receives notice, in any form, from the IRS; or (ii) reasonably determines,
based on an opinion of independent tax counsel selected by Lessor and approved by Lessee, which
approval Lessee shall not unreasonably withhold, that Lessor may not exclude the interest component of
any Rent Payment under a Tax-Exempt Lease from federal gross income because Lessee breached a
covenant contained herein, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within thirty (30) days after Lessor notifies
Lessee of such determination, the amount which, with respect to Rent Payments previously paid and taking
into account all penalties, fines, interest and additions to tax (including all federal, state and local taxes
imposed on the interest component of all Rent Payments under such Tax-Exempt Lease due through the
date of such event) that are imposed on Lessor as a result of the loss of the exclusion, will restore to Lessor
the same after-tax yield on the transaction evidenced by such Tax-Exempt Lease (assuming tax at the
highest marginal corporate tax rate) that it would have realized had the exclusion not been lost. Additionally,
Lessee agrees that upon the occurrence of such an event with respect to a Tax-Exempt Lease, it shall pay
additional rent to Lessor on each succeeding Rent Payment due date in such amount as will maintain such
after-tax yield to Lessor. Lessor’s determination of the amount necessary to maintain its after-tax yield as
provided in this subsection (b) shall be conclusive (absent manifest error). Notwithstanding anything in a
Tax-Exempt Lease to the contrary, any payment that Lessee is required to make pursuant to this
subsection (b) shall be made only from Legally Available Funds.
18. ASSIGNMENT.
18.1 Lessee shall not assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, nor grant any Lien on, nor otherwise
dispose of, any Lease or any Equipment or any interest in any Lease or Equipment.
18.2 Lessor may assign its rights, title and interest in and to any Lease or any Equipment, and/or
may grant or assign a security interest in any Lease and its Equipment, in whole or in part, to any party at
any time. Any such assignee or lien holder (an “Assignee”) shall have all of the rights of Lessor under the
applicable Lease. LESSEE AGREES NOT TO ASSERT AGAINST ANY ASSIGNEE ANY CLAIMS,
ABATEMENTS, SETOFFS, COUNTERCLAIMS, RECOUPMENT OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR DEFENSES
WHICH LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST LESSOR. Unless otherwise agreed by Lessee in writing, any
such assignment transaction shall not release Lessor from any of Lessor’s obligations under the applicable
Lease. An assignment or reassignment of any of Lessor’s right, title or interest in a Lease or its Equipment
shall be enforceable against Lessee only after Lessee receives a written notice of assignment which
discloses the name and address of each such Assignee. Lessee shall keep a complete and accurate record
of all such assignments in the form necessary to comply with Section 149(a) of the Code. Lessee agrees
to acknowledge in writing any such assignments if so requested.
18.3 Each Assignee of a Lease hereby agrees that: (a) the term Secured Obligations as used in
Section 8.3 hereof is hereby amended to include and apply to all obligations of Lessee under the Assigned
Leases and to exclude the obligations of Lessee under any Non-Assigned Leases; (b) said Assignee shall
have no Lien on, nor any claim to, nor any interest of any kind in, any Non-Assigned Leases; and (c)
Assignee shall exercise its rights, benefits and remedies as the assignee of Lessor (including, without
limitation, the remedies under Section 20 of the Master Lease) solely with respect to the Assigned Leases.
“Assigned Leases” means only those Leases which have been assigned to an Assignee pursuant to a
written agreement; and “Non-Assigned Leases” means all Leases excluding the Assigned Leases.
18.4 Subject to the foregoing, each Lease inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. For each Lease, “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any one or more
of the following events as they may relate to such Lease: (a) Lessee fails to make any Rent Payment (or
any other payment) as it becomes due in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and any such failure
continues for ten (10) days after the due date thereof; (b) Lessee fails to perform or observe any of its
obligations under Sections 12.1, 14 or 18.1 hereof; (c) Lessee fails to perform or observe any other
covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or observed by it under the Lease and such failure is not
cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof by Lessor; (d) any statement,
representation or warranty made by Lessee in the Lease or in any writing delivered by Lessee pursuant
thereto or in connection therewith proves at any time to have been false, misleading or erroneous in any
material respect as of the time when made; (e) Lessee applies for or consents to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator of Lessee or of all or a substantial part of its assets, or a petition
for relief is filed by Lessee under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a petition in
a proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is filed against Lessee and is
not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (f) Lessee shall be in default under any other Lease or
under any other financing agreement executed at any time with Lessor.
20. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default occurs, then Lessor may, at its option, exercise any one or more
of the following remedies:
(a) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all amounts then
currently due under all Leases and all remaining Rent Payments due under all Leases during the fiscal year
in effect when the default occurs together with interest on such amounts at the highest lawful rate from the
date of Lessor’s demand for such payment.
(b) Lessor may require Lessee to promptly return all Equipment to Lessor in the manner set forth
in Section 21 (and Lessee agrees that it shall so return the Equipment), or Lessor may, at its option, enter
upon the premises where any Equipment is located and repossess such Equipment without demand or
notice, without any court order or other process of law and without liability for any damage occasioned by
such repossession;
(c) Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equipment, in whole or in part, in one or
more public or private transactions, and if Lessor so disposes of any Equipment, then Lessor shall retain
the entire proceeds of such disposition free of any claims of Lessee, provided, that the net proceeds of any
such disposition shall be applied to amounts payable by Lessee under clause (a) above of this Section only
to the extent that such net proceeds exceed the applicable Termination Value set forth in the applicable
Schedule A-1;
(d) Lessor may terminate, cancel or rescind any Lease as to any and all Equipment;
(e) Lessor may exercise any other right, remedy or privilege which may be available to Lessor
under applicable law or, by appropriate court action at law or in equity, Lessor may enforce any of Lessee’s
obligations under any Lease; and/or
(f) Lessor may require Lessee to pay (and Lessee agrees that it shall pay) all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Lessor as a result (directly or indirectly) of the Event of Default and/or of Lessor’s
actions under this section, including, without limitation, any attorney fees and expenses and any costs
related to the repossession, safekeeping, storage, repair, reconditioning or disposition of any Equipment.
None of the above remedies is exclusive, but each is cumulative and in addition to any other remedy
available to Lessor. Lessor’s exercise of one or more remedies shall not preclude its exercise of any other
remedy. No delay or failure on the part of Lessor to exercise any remedy under any Lease shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
remedy preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other remedy.
21. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. If Lessor is entitled under the provisions of any Lease, including any
termination thereof pursuant to Sections 6 or 20 of this Master Lease, to obtain possession of any
Equipment or if Lessee is obligated at any time to return any Equipment, then (a) title to the Equipment
shall vest in Lessor immediately upon Lessors notice thereof to Lessee, and (b) Lessee shall, at its sole
expense and risk, immediately de-install, disassemble, pack, crate, insure and return the Equipment to
Lessor (all in accordance with applicable industry standards) at any location in the continental United States
selected by Lessor. Such Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Lessee
(reasonable wear, tear and depreciation resulting from normal and proper use excepted), shall be in good
operating order and maintenance as required by the applicable Lease, shall be free and clear of any Liens
(except Lessor’s Lien) and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Until Equipment is
returned as required above, all terms of the applicable Lease shall remain in full force and effect including,
without limitation, obligations to pay Rent Payments and to insure the Equipment. Lessee agrees to
execute and deliver to Lessor all documents reasonably requested by Lessor to evidence the transfer of
legal and beneficial title to such Equipment to Lessor and to evidence the termination of Lessee’s interest
in such Equipment.
22. LAW GOVERNING. Each Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state of the lessee (The
“State”).
23. NOTICES. All notices to be given under any Lease shall be made in writing and either personally
delivered or mailed by certified mail to the other party at its address set forth herein or at such address as
the party may provide in writing from time to time. Any such notices shall be deemed to have been received
five (5) days subsequent to mailing if sent by regular or certified mail, or on the next business day if sent by
overnight courier, or on the day of delivery if delivered personally.
24. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; INDEMNITY; POWER OF ATTORNEY. Within thirty (30) days of their
completion in each fiscal year of Lessee during any Lease Term, Lessee will deliver to Lessor upon Lessor’s
request the publicly available annual financial information of Lessee. To the extent permitted by law,
Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if Lessor requests, defend Lessor and its shareholders,
affiliates, employees, dealers and agents against all Claims directly or indirectly arising out of or connected
with (a) the manufacture, installation, use, lease, possession or delivery of the Equipment, (b) any defects
in the Equipment, any wrongful act or omission of Lessee, or its employees and agents, or (c) any claims
of alleged breach by Lessee of this Master Lease or any related document. “Claims” means all losses,
liabilities, damages, penalties, expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs), claims, actions and suits,
whether in contract, tort or otherwise. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
(with full power of substitution) to prepare any instrument, certificate of title or financing statement covering
the Equipment or otherwise protecting Lessor’s interest in the Equipment, to sign Lessee’s name with the
same force and effect as if signed by Lessee, and to file same at the proper location(s); and make claims
for, receive payment of, and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts for loss, theft, damage
or destruction to the Equipment under any insurance.
25. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING/INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW COMPLIANCE.
Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor, as of the date of this Master Lease, the date of each
advance of proceeds pursuant to this Master Lease, the date of any renewal, extension or modification of
this Master Lease or any Lease, and at all times until this Master Lease and each Lease has been
terminated and all amounts thereunder have been indefeasibly paid in full, that: (a) no Covered Entity (i) is
a Sanctioned Person; (ii) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or

regulation, order or directive enforced by any Compliance Authority; (b) the proceeds of any Lease will not
be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a
Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any law, regulation, order or directive enforced by
any Compliance Authority; (c) the funds used to repay any Lease are not derived from any unlawful activity;
and (d) each Covered Entity is in compliance with, and no Covered Entity engages in any dealings or

executed by Lessee and Lessor in connection therewith, constitute the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the lease of the Equipment covered thereby, and such Lease shall not be modified,
amended, altered, or changed except with the written consent of Lessee and Lessor. Any provision of any

the remainder of the Lease.
30. HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTION REGULATION.

from modifying the trailer, at Lessee’s cost, to be compliant with the requirements of the California Heavy-
Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Regulation.

Reference is made to the above Lease Schedule (“Schedule”) to the Master Lease-Purchase
Agreement identified in the Lease Schedule (“Master Lease”) by and between PNC Equipment Finance,
LLC (“Lessor”) and the above Lessee (“Lessee”). This Addendum amends and modifies the terms and
conditions of the Schedule and is hereby made a part of the Schedule. Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms defined in the Master Lease shall have the same meaning when used herein.
NOW THEREFORE, as part of the valuable consideration to induce the execution of the Schedule,
Lessor and Lessee hereby agree to amend the Schedule as follows:
1. In the event that any unit of Equipment covered by the Schedule is a vehicle or trailer under
applicable State law, then the following provisions shall also apply to the Schedule to the extent permitted
by law,
(a) each manufacturer’s statement of origin and certificate of title shall state that Lessor has the
first and sole lien on or security interest in such unit of Equipment;
(b) the public liability and property damage insurance required by the terms of the paragraph titled
“Insurance in the Master Lease shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 per person insured and
$2,000,000.00 combined single limit per unit per occurrence (provided, that if the unit of Equipment is a bus
or other passenger vehicle, then such insurance amount shall be such larger amount as may be reasonably
required by Lessor) and $1,000,000.00 for damage to property of others;
(c) Lessee shall furnish and permit only duly licensed, trained, safe and qualified drivers to operate
any such unit of Equipment, and such drivers shall be agents of Lessee and shall not be agents of Lessor;
and

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
(To Be Typed on Attorney’s Letterhead Stationary)
Date:
Lessee: ____________________________
Lessor: PNC Equipment Finance, LLC
Re: Lease Schedule No. ______________ dated ___________, together with its Master Lease-
Purchase Agreement dated _______________, by and between the above-named Lessee and the
above-named Lessor
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel to Lessee with respect to the Lease Schedule, the Master Lease-Purchase Agreement
and all other agreements described above or related thereto (collectively, the “Agreements”) and various related
matters, and in this capacity have reviewed a duplicate original or certified copy of the Agreements and such other
documents as I have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
Based upon the examination of such documents, it is my opinion that:
1. Lessee is a political subdivision of the State of ____________ (the “State”) duly organized, existing and operating
under the Constitution and laws of the State.
2. Lessee is authorized and has power under State law to enter into all of the Agreements, and to carry out its
obligations thereunder and the transactions contemplated thereby.
3. The Agreements and all other documents related thereto have been duly authorized, approved, and executed by
and on behalf of Lessee, and each of the Agreements is a valid and binding contract of Lessee enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by State and Federal law affecting creditor’s remedies and
by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights.
4. The authorization, approval and execution of the Agreements and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the
transactions contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all applicable Local, State and Federal
laws (including open meeting laws and public bidding and property acquisition laws).
5. To the best of my knowledge, there is no litigation or proceeding pending before any court, administrative agency
or governmental body, that challenges: the organization or existence of Lessee; the authority of its officers; the
proper authorization; approval and execution of any of the Agreements or any documents relating thereto; the
appropriation of monies to make payments under the Agreements for the current fiscal year; or the ability of Lessee
otherwise to perform its obligations under the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
6. Lessee is a political subdivision of the State as referred to in Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the related regulations and rulings thereunder.
Lessor, its Assignee and any of their assigns may rely upon this opinion.
Very truly yours,
Attorney

5. If for any reason whatsoever Supplier fails to deliver the Equipment to Lessee as set forth in subparagraph 4(b) of this
Agreement by the Outside Delivery Date for any piece of Equipment (the “Delayed Equipment”), and the Lessee has not agreed
to revise the Outside Delivery Date with respect to such Delayed Equipment, then Pierce hereby agrees as follows only for the

If there is more than one piece of Equipment subject to the Lease, and some of the Equipment is delivered in accordance with

due on the Equipment that was delivered pursuant to subparagraph 4(b). The new payment obligation will be determined
based on the amount financed for the Equipment delivered to the Lessee, and based on the interest rate in effect as of the
date of Lease commencement.
6. If Pierce makes the payments described in paragraph 5 for the Delayed Equipment under the circumstances set forth
above and if Lessee has otherwise paid and performed its obligations under the Lease Schedule as of such payment date for
the Delayed Equipment, then Lessee and Lessor agree that the Lease Schedule shall terminate as of the date of such payments
by Pierce as to the Delayed Equipment only. Lessee’s obligations shall continue unabated for the Equipment that was delivered
pursuant to subparagraph 4(b). Pierce expressly agrees that the Lease Schedule identified herein shall be a “Lease” as such
term is used in the Program Agreement, as amended, between Pierce and Lessor.
7. Supplier agrees that a performance bond (the “Performance Bond”) will be issued which names Supplier as Principal, the
Lessee as Obligee and the Lessor as Additional Obligee. The Performance Bond will apply solely to the terms and conditions
of the purchase order/purchase agreement, including related equipment specifications and warranties, as issued by the Lessee
and accepted by Pierce. The “Contract Date” referred to in the Performance Bond shall be the date of this Agreement.
8. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Lease Schedule and terms and conditions of the purchase order/purchase
agreement for the Equipment remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

Proposed additions to Police Personnel Manual (PPM)
Item Description
This is an addition to the PPM to include certificate pay for officers and dispatchers with advanced
POST certificates, language pay, and uniform allowance for officers who are not issued uniforms.
Purpose
These proposed additions will incorporate wage benefits with budgetary implications into the PPM so
they will have approval of the Council. This is in support of the Priority Based Budgeting result of
safety.
Fiscal Impact / Financial Review
The certificate pay is already being paid to officers and to dispatchers. The rate will be increased for
the dispatchers to make it equivalent for equivalent POST certificates which are now earned by both
officers and dispatchers. The total cost for the increased dispatch certificate pay is $7,686.00. The
language pay is currently being paid for Spanish only. These changes would open up additional
languages and could increase the City’s liability depending on the number of languages authorized
and the number of employees who are proficient in the authorized languages. The Uniform
allowance is already in place; it would therefore have no fiscal impact.
Legal Review
The City Attorney reviewed these additions and edited the proposed language.
Interdepartmental Review
Municipal services reviewed these additions for fiscal impact. They wanted to make sure the Council
was aware of the potential liability for the language pay cost increases.
Recommended Action
IFPD recommends that the Council approve this resolution to amend the Police Personnel Manual
which was passed by resolution on November 8, 2018.
☐ Economic ☐ Governance ☐ Growth ☐ Learning
☐ Livable ☒ Safety ☐ Sustainability ☐ Transportation
