Adopt a resolution on the recommendation to make findings related to the approval of the
Second Amendment to the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) Joint Powers Authority
Agreement.
In March 2012, in response to concerns raised by the City of Irvine, the OCFA Board of Directors
took action to form an Ad Hoc Committee for the purpose of studying equity. For OCFA, the
equity issue refers to the extent to which the revenue received from a member agency bears a
reasonable relationship to the cost of services that a member receives.
Following 18 months of deliberations, an amendment to the Joint Powers Authority was prepared
and approved by 20 of OCFA's 24 member agencies. Three member cities rejected the
Amendment, and one member agency (County of Orange) did not consider approval of the
Amendment. To become effective, the Amendment was only required to be approved by 2/3
(16) of OCFA's individual member agencies, which was achieved on November 18, 2013.
The City Council approved the Second Amendment to the Amended Orange County Fire
Authority Joint Powers Agreement on November 18, 2013 and was executed on February 10,
2014.
The OCFA Board of Directors authorized their General Counsel to commence a validation action
in the Orange County Superior Court to obtain a judicial declaration of the validity of the "Second
Amendment to the Amended JPA" once the amendment had been approved by 2/3 of OCFA's
member agencies. Per that authorization, the OCFA and the City of Irvine jointly filed a Petition
seeking validation of the Second Amendment on December 19, 2013.
On January 28, 2014, the Orange County Board of Supervisors voted 4 -to -1, with Supervisor
Spitzer opposed, to file a formal response in opposition to the validation action. After hearing the
55GG -1
Resolution Making Findings related to OCFA Second Amendment to JPA Agreement
October 21, 2014
Page 2
matter, the trial court ruled on August 4, 2014 that the Second Amendment is invalid.
Subsequent to this ruling, both the Irvine City Council and the OCFA Board of Directors
approved filing an appeal in the validation action.
OCFA's Special Litigation Counsel for this matter has drafted the attached Resolution for
consideration and approval by OCFA's member agencies. The City Attorney's Office has
reviewed the resolution. The Resolution requests each city to make findings related to approval
of the Second Amendment. If approved by OCFA's member agencies, Special Counsel will
submit the approved Resolutions to the Court of Appeal.
The proposed Resolution includes multiple recitals (WHEREAS clauses) explaining why cities
voted to approve the Second Amendment last year. By adopting the resolution, the cities would
resolve that the recitals are true and correct, and that they are adopted as findings representing
the City Council's intent in approving the Second Amendment. When cities approved the
Second Amendment last year, they were not required or requested to adopt any resolutions
explaining why they were doing so; however now that the trial court has invalidated the Second
Amendment, the adoption of a resolution explaining why the cities approved the Second
Amendment could be helpful to OCFA's appeal.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #5, Provide
high quality Police and Fire /Emergency Medical Services response within the City of Santa Ana.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact by this action.

provisions of Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title I (commencing with Section 6500) of
the Government Code of the State of California ( "Joint Powers Statutes "); and
955601.1 1
55GG -7
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Joint Powers Statutes the members are authorized
to jointly provide for the methods of the provision of Fire Services, including the method
of financing the provision of Fire Services; and
WHEREAS, on September 23, 1999, the members entered into an amended

WHEREAS, pursuant to the 1999 Amended Agreement the members provided
for the provision of Fire Services and the joint financing of Fire Services; and
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2010, the members entered into the First Amendment to
the Amended Joint Powers Agreement ( "First Amendment") which amended several

NOW THEREFORE, the members agree to amend the 1999 Amended
Agreement and First Amendment as follows:
955601.1 2
55GG -8
AGREEMENT
1. Article IV, Section 3, Subdivision A shall be amended to read as follows:
A. Structural Fire Fund: Cash Contract Cities. County receives
Structural Fire Fund property taxes ( "SFF ") from the unincorporated area and from
properties located within the following member Cities: Irvine, Dana Point, Laguna Hills,
Laguna Woods, Laguna Niguel, La Palma, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano, Villa
Park, Yorba Linda, Cypress, Los Alamitos, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, and
Aliso Viejo. These cities and the County together make up the "SFF Jurisdictions." On
behalf of the cities from which the County receives SFF, and the unincorporated area,
County shall pay, all SFF it receives to the Authority to meet budget expenses and fund
reserves in accordance with the County's normal tax apportionment procedures
pursuant to the California Revenue and Taxation Code and the County's tax
apportionment schedules. The member Cities which the County does not receive SFF
are Santa Ana, Stanton, Tustin, Buena Park, Placentia, Westminster, Seal Beach, and
San Clemente (collectively, "Cash Contract Cities ").
2. Article IV, Section 4 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following new Section 4:
4. Equity. The following calculations and actions shall be performed
by the Authority each fiscal year:
A. Over - Funded Structural Fire Fund (SFF) Jurisdictions.
(1) The total estimated property tax revenue levied and
allocated to the Authority, prior to accounting for delinquencies, and including
secured, unsecured, nonoperating utility (SBE), and homeowner's exemptions
shall be determined ( "Total SFF Revenue Figure "). For the FY 2012/13 this
amount was stated as $179,768,901.52 in the Auditor - Controller Report titled
955601.1 3
55GG -9
955601.1
'AT68AD -73 Orange County Auditor Controller Accumulation of Combined Prior
Year Levy and Current Year ATI" as the "Total SFF Revenue Figure."
(2) The total Assessed Value, net of successor agency
former project area Incremental value, for all SFF jurisdictions shall be
determined (the "Total AV Figure "). For the FY 2012/13 this amount was stated
as $155,506,390,761 in the Auditor- Controller report titled 'AT04VC -74 Orange
County Auditor Controller District Values Used to Set Tax Rates" and was
identified as the "Total L &I (Land and Improvements), Total Secured and
Unsecured Value for the Orange County Fire Authority Total Jurisdiction."
(3) The Total AV Figure shall be multiplied by 1% (the
basic levy tax rate) to determine the total value of the 1% basic levy for all SFF
Jurisdictions for the fiscal year (the "SFF Basic Levy Figure "). For reference, in
FY 2012113, this calculated figure was $1,555,063,907.61.
(4) The Total SFF Revenue Figure shall be divided by the
SFF Basic Levy Figure for the same fiscal year and expressed as a percentage.
The resulting percentage shall be referred to as the "Average SFF Rate" for the
fiscal year. For reference, in FY 2012/13 the Average SFF Rate was 11.56 %.
The 2012 /13 calculation is as follows:
$ 179 ,768,901.521$1,555,063,907.61 = 0.115602
(5) A "Jurisdictional SFF Rate" shall be determined for
each SFF Jurisdiction as follows:
a. The total property tax revenue allocated from all tax
rate areas In the SFF Jurisdiction to the Authority,
prior to accounting for delinquencies, and including
secured, unsecured, utility (SBE), and homeowner's
exemptions, but excluding revenue on successor
4
55GG -10
955601.1
agency incremental value in tax rate areas assigned
to former redevelopment agencies, shall be
determined ( "Jurisdictional SFF Revenue Figure "). By
way of example, for FY 2012/13 this determination
would be made by (1) taking, for each tax rate area in
the SFF Jurisdiction, the total assessed value of the
tax rate area as reported in the Auditor Controller
TRA Summary Detail Reports for the secured,
unsecured, SBE, and homeowner's exemptions, (2)
multiplying the total assessed value by 1 %, and (3)
multiplying the product by the Authority's share of the
general levy tax rate in the tax rate area as stated in
the "Auditor Controller Report AT68AH71 Section 99
Factor Report by TRA," which would yield property tax
revenue allocated from that tax rate area to the
Authority. This calculation would be made for all tax
rate areas within the SFF Jurisdiction, and the results
would be added together to yield the Jurisdictional
SFF Revenue Figure.
b. The total Assessed Value, net of successor agency
former project area incremental value (AV), for the
SFF Jurisdiction shall be determined (the
"Jurisdictional AV Figure").
c. The Jurisdictional AV Figure shall be multiplied by 1 %
to determine the total value of the 1% basic levy of
the SFF Jurisdiction for the fiscal year (the
"Jurisdictional Basic Levy Figure ").
d. The Jurisdictional SFF Revenue Figure shall be
divided by the Jurisdictional Basic Levy Figure for the
61
55GG -11
955601.1
same fiscal year and expressed as a percentage.
The resulting percentage shall be referred to as the
"Jurisdictional SFF Rate" for the fiscal year.
(6) For those SFF Jurisdictions whose Jurisdictional SFF
Rate is greater than the Average SFF Rate ( "the Over - Funded SFF
Jurisdictions "), a Jurisdictional Equity Adjustment Payment ( "JEAP ") shall be
calculated using the data sources cited above and the following formula:
(Jurisdictional SFF Rate x Jurisdictional AV Figure x 0.01) — (Average SFF Rate x
Jurisdictional AV Figure x 0.01)
(7) The JEAPs calculated in subdivision (6) shall be paid
by the Authority in two equal payments in December and April each fiscal year,
provided that the Authority has received its distribution of property tax revenues
in or before such months.
(8) The JEAP payments in subdivision (6) shall be made
according to the following phase -in schedule:

a. The timing of payment for FY 2014/15 will be
dependent on the Authority's Adopted Budget. If the General Fund is
balanced in the Adopted Budget (Operating Revenues are equal to, or
greater than, operating expenses), then 100% of the calculated JEAP will
be paid to the City of Irvine as identified by the above schedule. (For
purposes of this Agreement "Operating Revenues" includes Unrestricted
General Fund Revenues and SFF revenues. If the General Fund is not
0
55GG -12
balanced, as defined above, then 25% of the calculated JEAP will be paid
to the City of Irvine in FY 2014115, and the remaining 75% will be paid to
the City of Irvine no later than FY 2016/17. This delayed payment, if any,
will be paid in addition to calculated JEAPs due and payable in the
subsequent fiscal year(s) and shall not include interest.
b. The timing of payment for FY 2015/16 will be
dependent on the Authority's Adopted Budget. If the General Fund is
balanced in the Adopted Budget (operating revenues are equal to, or
greater than, operating expenses), then 100% of the calculated JEAP will
be paid to the City of Irvine as Identified by the above schedule. If the
General Fund is not balanced, as defined above, then 50% of the
calculated JEAP will be paid to the City of Irvine in FY 2015/16, and the
remaining 50% will be paid to the City no later than FY 2017118. This
delayed payment, if any, will be paid in addition to calculated JEAPs due
and payable in the subsequent fiscal year(s) and shall not include any
interest.
(9) Neither Cash Contract Cities nor SFF jurisdictions
that are not determined to be Over- Funded SFF Jurisdictions by these
calculations shall receive any JEAP, nor will they be required to make additional
payments to the Authority due to these calculations. Annual service charges for
Cash Contract Cities shall not be increased as a result of the JEAPs paid
pursuant to this Section 4.
B. Additional Equity Adjustment for SFF Revenue from the City of
Irvine. The following calculations and actions shall be performed by the Authority each
fiscal year:
(1) Beginning with Fiscal Year 2013114, the City of Irvine
shall receive an additional JEAP equal to the amount, If any, that the
455601.! 7
55GG -13
955601.t
Jurisdictional SFF Revenue Figure for the City of Irvine, net of the JEAP payment
calculated in Section 4.A(6), exceeds that year's corresponding annual Not -To-
Exceed amount ( "NTE ") as set forth in Section 4.13(2) below.
(2) The NTE for Fiscal Year 2013/14 shall be the amount
of base SFF revenue that the Authority received from properties located within
the City of Irvine jurisdiction in the Fiscal Year 2012/13, which was $59,635,863,
plus 3.5 %. The NTE shall increase each fiscal year by 3.5 %. The NTE for each
fiscal year from 2013114 to 2029/30 for the City of Irvine is therefore as follows:
FY 2013114 SFF Revenue NTE:
FY 2014/15 SFF Revenue NTE:
FY 2015/16 SFF Revenue NTE:
FY 2016/17 SFF Revenue NTE:

$59,635,863 X 1.035 = $61,723,118
$61,723,118 X 1.035 = $63,883,427
$63,883,427 X 1.035 = $66,119,347
$66,110,347 X 1.035 = $68,433,524
$68,433,524 X 1.035 = $70,828,697
$70,828,697 X 1.035 = $73,307,701
$73,307,701 X 1.035 = $75,873,471
$75,873,471 X 1.035 = $78,529,042
$78,529,042 X 1.035 = $81,277,558
$81,277,558 X 1.035 = $84,122,273
$84,122,273 X 1.035 = $87,066,553
$87,066,553 X 1.035 = $90,113,882
$90,113,882 X 1.035 = $93,267,868
$93,267,868 X 1.035 = $96,532,243
$96,532,243 X 1.035 = $99,910,872
$99,910,872 X 1.035 = $103,407,753
$103,407,753 X 1.035 - $107,027,024
(3) In any fiscal year in which the Jurisdictional SFF
Revenue Figure for the City of Irvine, net of the JEAP calculated in Section
4.A(6), is greater than the NTE provided in Section 4.B.(2), the excess revenue
shall be paid to the City of Irvine as an additional JEAP.
0
55GG -14
955601.1
(4) Payment of this additional JEAP shall be made by the
Authority to the City of Irvine in two equal payments in December and April of
each fiscal year, provided that the Authority has received its distribution of the
SFF in such months.
(5) Neither Cash Contract Cities nor SFF jurisdictions
other than Irvine shall receive any additional JEAP as described in this Section
4.B., nor will they be required to make additional payments to the Authority due
to these calculations or payments. Annual service charges for Cash Contract
Cities shall not be increased as a result of the JEAPs or additional JEAPs paid
pursuant to this Section 4.
C. Sources of JEAP Funds; Remedies; Amendment.
(1) Payments of JEAPs shall be made to the Over-
Funded SFF jurisdictions from unrestricted revenues of the Authority (the
"Unrestricted OCFA General Fund Revenues ") provided that the use of said
Unrestricted OCFA General Fund Revenues is not prohibited by any Federal or
State law or regulation nor would the use violate the terms or restrictions
contained in any grant or other agreement restricting the use of the designated
revenue sources. For purposes of clarity, JEAPs shall be paid from the annual
service charges paid by the Cash Contract Cities as well as from other non-
property tax sources of unrestricted funds. SFF are restricted funds and shall not
be used to pay JEAPs. No Cash Contract City annual service charges shall be
increased to pay JEAPs.
(2) If a legal challenge Is brought challenging this Second
Amendment, the JEAPs shall continue to be calculated as provided in this
Second Amendment. The Authority shall open a separate account into which the
JEAPs shall be deposited, which shall bear interest at the same rate as the
Authority's other authorized investments. The Authority shall provide an
iJ
55GG -15
955601.1
accounting to the Over - Funded SFF Jurisdictions upon each JEAP deposit. The
JEAPs so deposited into this account shall remain there until the resolution of the
legal challenge. If this Second Amendment remains valid after the resolution of
such legal challenge, all of the funds accumulated in such account shall be paid,
With accrued interest, to the Over - Funded SFF Jurisdiction(s) and the Authority
shall provide an accounting therefore.
(3) The City of Irvine may, notwithstanding Article VII,
Section 1 of the 1999 Amended Agreement as amended by the First Amendment
and this Second Amendment, withdraw from the Authority by transmitting written
notice of its withdrawal to the Clerk of the Authority. Such notice shall provide at
least two years' notice of the withdrawal, but the notice period may be more than
two years, at the City of Irvine's discretion. The withdrawal shall be effective
upon the expiration of the notice period in the notice of withdrawal, although in no
case may the City of Irvine withdraw before June 30, 2020. This withdrawal
provision applies to the following situations only: (1) a final judgment is entered
declaring this Second Amendment to be void or otherwise affects a material term
of this Second Amendment and the time in which to appeal such final judgment
has passed; (2) the members approve any modification to this Second
Amendment which the City of Irvine does not vote to approve; (3) there is a
change in state legislation which prevents or reduces the payment of JEAPs to
the City of Irvine as prescribed by this Second Amendment; or (4) the Authority
materially breaches this Second Amendment. This provision shall not be
interpreted to limit the remedies otherwise available to the City of Irvine if the
Authority otherwise falls to make payment of the JEAPs when it is authorized to
do so under this Second Amendment.
(4) This Second Amendment can only be amended if
approved by two- thirds of the members of the Authority.

3. Article Vll, Sections I.A. and B. are deleted In their entirety and replaced with
the to/lowing:
A. Term. Cities shall be members of the Authority for a 20 -year term
commencing July 1, 2010. For Structural Fire Fund cities, the initial 20 -year term shall
begin on July 1, 2010 and end on June 30, 2030. For a Cash Contract City, the first 20-
year term shall begin on July 1, 2010, only upon the consent of such City. Cash
contract Cities that do not give such approval by June 30, 2010 shall give notice of
withdrawal to the Clerk of the Authority by June 30, 2010, to be effective July 1, 2010.
Failure to provide such notice shall be deemed that City's consent to a 20 -year term,
beginning July 1, 2010 subject to the ability to withdraw after the first ten years as set
forth in Section B. below.
B. Subseouent Terms. Twenty -year membership terms shall
automatically renew, on the same terms and conditions as the prior term, and with the
same cap in effect in the last year of the prior term, except under the following
circumstances:
(1) Any City may give notice of withdrawal by transmitting written
notice of such withdrawal to the Clerk of the Authority prior to July 1 of the second to
last year of every ten -year interval of a twenty -year term (e.g., for the first ten -year
Interval, notice must be given by July 1, 2018 to withdraw by June 30, 2020).
(2) Notwithstanding the preceding subsection (B)(1), in exchange for
the JEAPs described in Article IV, Section 4, the City of Irvine shall not have the option
to withdraw in 2020, except as provided in Article IV, Section 4(C)(3), or If the number of
withdrawing Cash Contract Cities in 2020 reduces the unrestricted general fund
revenues of the Authority to the point that the JEAPs can no longer be made. In the
event that the number of withdrawing Cash Contract Cities in 2020 reduces the
unrestricted general fund revenues of the Authority to the point that the JEAPs can no
longer be made, the City of Irvine will be notified In writing by the Authority of this
955601.1 11
55GG -17
condition as soon after July 1, 2018 as practicable, and in no event later than January 1,
2019. In that event, the City of Irvine will be able to withdraw in 2020 by providing
written notice of such withdrawal no later than July 1, 2019. For purposes of clarity, the
City of Irvine shall have the option to withdraw in 2030 and every ten years thereafter by
complying with the notice provisions in subsection (13)(1) above.
4. This Second Amendment amends, as set forth herein, the 1999 Amended
Agreement and the First Amendment and except as specifically amended herein, the
1999 Amended Agreement and the First Amendment shall remain in full force and
effect. To the extent there is any conflict between this Second Amendment and the
1999 Amended Agreement and First Amendment, the terms and conditions contained in
this Second Amendment shall control.
