SUBJECT: PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT ("PA") WITH JEWISH FAMILY
SERVICES OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY IN AN AMOUNT OF $80,000 FOR
THE REHABILATION OF NIGHTENGALE MANOR AS A 10-UNIT
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM LOCATED AT 2951
DE ANZA ROAD, IN THE CITY'S CAPACITY AS THE HOUSING
SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT

FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Community and Economic Development
SUMMARY
This Participation Agreement allows Jewish Family Services of San Diego (JFSSD) to
undertake the renovations of Nightengale Manor at 2951 Anza Road in Palm Springs,
owned by the County of Riverside, under the Permanent Supportive Housing Program,
designed to develop supportive housing and services that will allow homeless
individuals or those at-risk of being homeless to live as independently as possible. All
tenants are placed in safe, affordable housing and supportive services are provided to
bolster physical and mental healing, as well as help increase income levels.
Assistance in the Supportive Housing Program is provided to help homeless persons
meet three overall goals:
• achieve residential stability,
• increase their skill levels and/or incomes, and
• obtain greater self-determination and self-sufficiency (i.e., more influence over
decisions that affect their lives).
In December 2009, housing services were suspended at Nightengale Manor with the
opening of Roy's Desert Resource Center, as the funding was shifted from Nightengale
Manor to Roy's. Riverside County, through its Housing Authority as owner of
Nightengale Manor, had acquired and maintained the property in 1987 for the exclusive

purpose of housing homeless households as was granted in the 1986-87 final approved
Planned Development District by the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve Agreement No. A A Participation Agreement ("PA") with
Jewish Family Services of San Diego County in the amount of $80,000 for the
rehabilitation of Nightengale Manor as a 10-unit Permanent Supportive Housing
Program facility located at 2951 De Anza Road, in the City's capacity as the
Housing Successor Agency of the Community Redevelopment Agency; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. A
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Housing Authority of the County of Riverside, as a regional housing authority, is
tasked with addressing a wide-range of housing needs within Riverside County. One of
these needs is the provision of housing for homeless individuals and families. To
address this need, the Housing Authority had acquired the 2951 Anza Road property in
Palm Springs in 1987 and has maintained the property, known as Nightengale Manor,
for the exclusive purpose of housing homeless households. Over the past twenty year,
the Housing Authority had partnered with local homeless service providers who have
leased the property for a nominal fee ($1 per year) and operated homeless housing
programs. This partnership has included four different faith-based operators through the
years, which significantly reduces the operating costs to the County associated with the
programs.
In the spring of 2007, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments' (CVAG)
Homelessness Committee embarked on a series of planning and resource exploration
initiatives to coordinate valley-wide planning efforts for homelessness under the broader
recommendations developed as part of the County of Riverside's 10 Year Plan to End
Homelessness. The Homelessness Committee developed its own 'Strategic Plan to End
Homelessness' which outlined goals centered on creating and expanding homeless
services for the entire Coachella Valley.
Due to a lack of services in the Western Coachella Valley, the CVAG Homelessness
Committee set as its first priority creating a Western Coachella Valley Regional Multi-
Service Center that will provide comprehensive support services to promote progress
towards permanent housing and self-sufficiency.
On December 31, 2009, the Roy's Desert Resource Center (DRC), named in honor of
the late County Supervisor Roy Wilson, was opened as the first comprehensive
homeless center built in Western Coachella Valley. This I regional effort was
02
Housing Successor Agency Staff Report
July 11, 2012-- Page 3
Jewish Family Services/Nightengale Manor
homeless center built in Western Coachella Valley. This regional effort was
spearheaded by CVAG and its Homelessness Committee and supported by the cities of
the Coachella Valley, the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services'
(DPSS) Homelessness Program, and numerous private and public partnerships. Roy's
DRC is located in Palm Springs and offers emergency shelter and several supportive
services to ninety homeless individuals each night. As part of that initiative, DPSS
shifted its funding and transitioned services from Nightengale Manor to Roy's.
Jewish Family Services of San Diego, d/b/a/ Desert SOS (JFSSD)„ is the DRC operator
and assists clients in regaining their stability in the community, as well as securing safe
and affordable housing.
In early 2010, the Housing Authority met with City staff to discuss potentially partnering
on Nightengale Manor's continued use. Staff presented the request to the City
Council's Affordable Housing Subcommittee and on May 27, 201p, the Subcommittee
directed staff to continue dialogue with the Housing Authority on restoring Nightengale
Manor's original purpose of housing homeless individuals or families.
The Housing Authority issued a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on August
12, 2011 to utilize the facility to provide housing and supportive services to homeless
individuals/families. JFSSD was the only applicant and on October 12, 2011, they
received the Notice of Award from the Housing Authority. On December 28, 2011, the
Lease Agreement was executed by both parties.
JFSSD is now in a position to again assume operations of Nightengale Manor. Having
successfully operated the facility previously, coupled with being the operator of the
Desert Vista Permanent Supportive Housing Program, they are poised to transform the
facility into a permanent home for low and extremely low-income individuals. The
Desert Vista program is both already fully-funded and ideal for relocating some of its
residents to the Nightengale facility.
On March 1, 2011, JFSSD was awarded a $650K annual Riverside County DPSS
contract to operate the Desert Vista Permanent Supportive Housing Program. Desert
Vista is a HUD-funded, 40-bed, scattered site program serving disabled individuals.
JFSSD was awarded this program based, in part, on the excellent program reviews it
received for Desert Horizon, the 32-bed, HUD-funded transitional living program which
JFSSD has operated since December 1, 2007. Desert Vista has secure matching
funds, as required by HUD. The contract was renewed on March 1, 2012 for one
additional year and continued funding is highly likely.
JFSSD has determined that the Nightengale facility can comfortably accommodate 10
of the 40 Desert Vista residents. In anticipation of this, JFSSD entered into a lease for
Housing Successor Agency Staff Report
July 11, 2012 -- Page 4
Jewish Family Services/Nightengale Manor
the property with the Housing Authority on December 28, 2011. Since that time, JFSSD
has maintained the property at its expense.
Due to the current condition of the facility, modifications to the structure will be
necessary. These necessary changes include: adding kitchenettes to the units that do
not have them; modifying some of the existing kitchenettes; remodeling one of the units
to render it ADA compliant; replacing two pressure regulators that were removed due to
vandalism; replacing HVAC units; installing new locks, deadbolts, and necessary
appliances; painting the facility's interior and some of its exterior; removing of
hazardous playground equipment; and thoroughly cleaning (i.e. "deep cleaning) the
facility.
The result will be 10 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units with one individual in each
unit, as required by HUD for permanent housing. Residents can stay in the units
indefinitely and pay 30% of their adjusted gross income for rent. (Rental income is put
back into the program to help pay for supportive services. There will be an office on-site
that will be staffed during regular business hours. A full array of supportive services will
be offered on the premises, including intensive case management.' As JFSSD did when
operating this facility previously, security and neighborhood relations will be a major
focus of staff.
Participants will be assisted with meeting HUD national goals and remain in permanent
housing through the following means and activities:
a. Moderate Demand Housing Model
b. Participating in the Process of Identifying and Achieving Goals
c. Developing an Individual Housing Plan
d. Skill development
Adjusting to a Moderate-Demand Model
A moderate demand model will be used to help clients obtain and remain in permanent
housing. Within this model, clients will realize that there is a moderate predetermined,
standard timeframe. Clients have sufficient time to complete related tasks, develop
skills, and achieve the confidence to retain housing.
Participating in the Process of Identifying and Achieving Goals
As soon as it is reasonable within this moderate-demand model, clients will learn about
the primary goals of the model through meeting with staff (particularly Employment,
Housing, Life Skills and Benefit staff) will assist them with their housing, income and
resource goals. This will help promote a sense of autonomy, responsibility, and a sense
of having control over and being able to take action to positively influence their lives.
04

Jewish Family Services/Nightengale Manor
Developing an Individual Housing Plan
Participants will be assisted with remaining in permanent housing by developing an
Individualized Housing Plan with the proposed program's staff. Each participant will
begin developing an Individualized Housing Plan by completing an assessment tool.
The assessment tool will evaluate each participant's current level of readiness and will
indicate areas where additional skills are needed to live successfully in permanent
housing.
Development of Skills to Maintain Permanent Housing
Staff will assist clients in identifying their needs and monitor performance goals. The
goals that will be measured for success within the plan will include employment (if client
is employable), income, money management, medical and mental health care (as
needed), crisis/peer counseling, substance abuse treatment (if needed), accessing
mainstream resources, and other life skills training.
The Desert-SOS staff is trained to provide counseling and instruction focusing on
tenants successfully realizing HUD's National goals:
• To help participants obtain and remain in permanent housing
• To help participants increase skills and/or income
• To help participants achieve greater self-determination
The Facility
In anticipation of this project, JFSSD called for bids from a number of licensed
contractors obtained from a list of contractors who have done work for the City of Palm
Springs. The successful bidder is Chris W. Foster, Inc., General Building Contractor.
Mr. Foster's business is located in Palm Springs and he has walked the property
multiple times to assure a complete bid. His bid includes the latest roof damage which
JFSSD temporarily repaired until renovation work could begin. Mr. Foster's company
carries all of the requisite liability and insurance coverage. He was the only contractor
who presented a full bid and was also the lowest cost.
The facility will house 10 residents and will have a community room for community and
case management meetings, storage for necessary supplies, a laundry area and an on-
site office. The office will be staffed during regular business hours with on-call staff
available during off hours. Two existing units will be combined to make one large, fully
ADA-compliant unit which will be wheelchair accessible.
A detailed budget is included detailing the renovations required to bring the facility to
HUD standards. Depending on availability of funds, JFSSD anticipates a 60-day
construction period and occupancy on or around September 1, 2012.

The Project targets the special needs population of Palm Springs. The mix will consist
of ten studio units of which one will be modified to be ADA compliant. Therefore this
Project will serve 10 unduplicated persons. Additionally, this project will be 100%
affordable with rents at 30% area median income. The Project will benefit the City by
rehabbing an older apartment complex and providing 10 affordable housing units.
RDA ISSUES:
This project was budgeted in the Community Redevelopment Agency's Low and
Moderate Income Housing fund in the 2011-2012 year. However, on June 27, 2011, the
State of California passed AB 1X 26, which dissolves all of the redevelopment agencies
in the State of California and became effective October 1, 2011. As part of the law, the
Agency was prohibited from entering new contracts after June 27, 2011, which
prevented entering an agreement with JFSSD in Fall 2011.
Part of the law contained an "opt-in" provision, however, which would have allowed
agencies to continue operating in return for a sizable payment to the State. The intent
was to enter a Participation Agreement with JFSSD and the Agency in October, 2011,
after the Agency 'opted in" under AB 1X 27. However, in August, 2011, the California
Redevelopment Association and the League of California Cities, however, sued the
State over the two laws on constitutional grounds. No action could be taken by the
Agency while the lawsuit was pending.
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld AS 1X 26, eliminating
redevelopment agencies, and overturned AB 1X 27, the opt-in payment.
On January 4, 2012, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City to
become the Successor Agency and the Housing Successor Agency. The City Council
elected to retain the responsibility for performing housing functions previously
performed by the Palm Springs Community Redevelopment Agency and assume all
rights, powers, assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the housing
activities of in accordance with Cal. Health and Safety Code §34176.
Actions of the Housing Successor Agency are outside the review of the Oversight
Board, which was created pursuant to Cal. Health and Safety Code §34179. Actions of
the City as well, acting under its own Charter and statutory authority, are not subject to
Oversight Board review, either.
The proposed source of funding for the Housing Successor Agency in the current 2012-
2013 year is the repayment by the Agency of the loan made by the Low- and Moderate-
Income Housing Fund to the Agency to make the Special Education Revenue
Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payments to the County in the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011
fiscal years. Upon the adoption of AB 1X 26, the State had originally taken the position
06
Housing Successor Agency Staff Report
July 11, 2012--Page 7
Jewish Family Services/Nightengale Manor
that the loans were not recognized obligations, but the legal opinions over the past
several months, even at the State, are that they are legal loans that should be paid. The
recently enacted Budget Trailer Bill AB 1484 gives more legal certainty, too, to SERAF
repayments. Therefore, the SERAF payment to be made to the Housing Successor
Agency from the June, 2012 property tax distribution was included on the Successor
Agency's Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) and distributed to the
Housing Successor Agency.
The State Department of Finance recently completed its review of the City's ROPS, and
allowed the SERAF payment of over $1,000,000 to the Housing Successor Agency in
June, 2012. The Oversight Board also approved the two amended ROPS at a Special
Meeting held May 30, 2012, for the current six month period and the next six month
period, for transmittal to the State and County.
The only additional contingency is that, as with the prior actions of!the Oversight Board,
under AB 1X 26, the County Auditor-Controller's Office was required to engage an
external auditor (the firm of Brown Armstrong). Based on the facts noted above, Staff
believes that the SERAF payment made to Housing Successor Agencies is settled at
the State level. The auditors have a statutory deadline imposed by the California
Supreme Court of July 15, 2012 to complete their reviews so the final status would be
known by then.
This action would authorize the funding through a Participation Agreement with Jewish
Family Services, with the provision that if the SERAF loan is challenged by the auditor
this agreement would be terminated. No payments will be made until after the audit is
received. The Participation Agreement is different from the Agency's typical Owner
Participation Agreement because JFSSD is not the owner of the property, though their
lease with the County allows them to receive funds to pay for the renovation of the
property. Therefore, while JFSSD agrees to provide the units at Very Low Income
rents, their lease is renewed yearly with the County and the covenants are not recorded
for the typical 55 years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will help preserve this long-standing housing resource within the community
as well as foster a permanent supportive housing' model which is aligned with the
County's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness, adopted in November 2007, and the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments' Strategic Plan to End Homelessness,
created in July 2007 as well as subsequently amended in February 2009 and revised
September 2010.

The City's Housing Successor Agency's participation is $80,000, in the form of a grant
to JFSSD. Since all of the units currently are, and would continue to be, restricted to
low-and very-low income residents, the per-unit subsidy would be $8,000.

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
THIS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement') is entered as of the
Effective Date (defined in this Agreement), between the City of Palm Springs, acting
solely in its capacity as the Housing Successor Agency of the former Community
Redevelopment Agency, ("City') and Jewish Family Services of San Diego (JFSSD)
("Operator").
RECITALS
The parties enter this Agreement based on the following facts, understandings,
and intentions:
A. The Palm Springs Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") was a public body,
corporate and politic, organized and existing under the California Community Redevelopment
Law (Cal. Heath& Safety Code §33000 et seq.)
C. The Agency administered the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
established pursuant to Cal. H.&S. C. Sections 33334.2 et seq.
B. To the extent provided in or allowed by the Law including Cal. H.&S.C. Sections
33334.2 and 33449, as provided by joint resolutions of the Palm Springs City Council
and the City, findings and determinations pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
33334.2.(g), the Plan and limited to the terms and conditions therein, the City may make
improvements upon and/or construct and improve structures in order to provide housing
for persons and families of low or moderate income, by variously (1) allowing the use of
Housing Set Aside Funds outside the Project Areas and (2) placing a priority on the use
of the Housing Set Aside Funds from the Project Areas to be used either within or
adjacent to the Project Areas.
C. On December 29, 2011, in California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos,
Cal. Supreme Court Case No. S194861, the California Supreme Court upheld AB26X1, which
dissolves all redevelopment agencies in the State of California, and struck down AB27X1, which
allowed redevelopment agencies to remain in existence if such agency opted in to the "Voluntary
Alternative Redevelopment Program" ("VARP").
B. The City of Palm Springs is a municipal corporation and: charter city under the
Constitution of the State of California.
Pursuant to Cal. Health & Safety Code §34176, the City could either opt to retain the
housing assets and functions previously performed by the Palm Springs Community
Redevelopment Agency or, by default, allow those assets and functions to be assigned to and
assumed by the Palm Springs Housing Authority.
li

K. On January 4, 2012, the City Council of the City of Palm Springs approved a
resolution expressing its intention to have the City of Palm Springs assume all rights, powers,
assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the housing activities of the Palm
Springs Community Redevelopment Agency.
E. Operator is the lessee of certain real property described in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and incorporated herein (the "Property"), including improvements located thereon
which shall be improved by Operator as contemplated by this Agreement and known as
Nightengale Manor located at 2951 Anza Road, Palm Springs, California (the "Project").
The Property and Project are located within the territorial jurisdiction of the City.
F. Operator proposes to acquire and renovate a residential rental project on the
Property consisting of ten (10) residential units. All of the residential units (the
"Affordable Units") are to be rented and preserved as Affordable Rental Housing.
G Operator agrees to undertake improvements in accordance with the combined
Schedule of Performance described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein (the "Schedule of Performance").
H. To the extent Housing Set Aside Funds will exceed 50 percent of the cost of
producing the Affordable Units, the City has determined based on substantial evidence,
that the use of the Funds is necessary because the City or Operator of the Affordable
Units has made a good faith attempt but been unable to obtain commercial or private
means of financing the units at the same level of affordability and quantity. The Project
is not feasible and cannot be completed and restricted to the affordable rental housing
purposes and uses provided under Law and this Agreement absent the financial support
of the City.
I. The Property and associated on site and off-site improvements are collectively
referred to in this Agreement as the "Improvements" or the "Project," all of which will
directly benefit the Property and the area, cannot otherwise be reasonably paid for or
financed, and are necessary to eliminate blight.
J. City is willing to assist Operator's reconstruction of the Affordable Units by
making available to Operator as a grant of certain Housing Funds in the amount of
$80,000 (the "Grant") upon the terms and conditions specified this Agreement.
K. The Grant shall be paid in accordance with the schedule set out in Exhibit B to
the Agreement. The Grant and performance of the affordability and other covenants
and restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and
the Restrictions set forth.
L. The Project has been environmentally assessed under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), resulting in a Categorical Exemption. Based on the
review, City staff determined that the project is consistent with all of the criteria specified
12
4
for an exemption to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with
Section 15301/Class 1 of the CEQA Guidelines for existing facilities.
M. The Operator and the City have determined that this Agreement is not subject to
Article XXXIV of the California Constitution.

Operator will, as soon as possible after the release, furnish City with a
copy of any reports relating thereto and copies of all correspondence with
governmental agencies relating to the release. Upon request, Operator
will furnish City with a copy of any other environmental entitlements or
inquiries relating to or affecting the Property including, without limitation,
all permit applications, permits and reports, even reports and other

voluntary or involuntary successor-in-interest of Operator will acquire any
rights or powers under this Agreement, provided that the parties
acknowledge the Operator shall hold the Affordable Units for rental as

4. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.
4.1 Except as set forth in this Agreement, before Operator begins constructing
the Improvements or undertakes any other work of iimprovement on the
Property, Operator, at its own cost and expense, will secure all land use
and other entitlements, permits, and approvals that City or any other
governmental City with jurisdiction over the Project requires for
construction of the Project. Without waiver or limitation, Operator will
secure and pay all costs, charges and fees associated with, the following:
4.1.1 All permits and fees that the City, County of Riverside, and
other governmental agencies with jurisdiction over the Project, the
Improvements or the Property may require.
4.1.2 ADA/Barriers to the Disabled. The Project shall comply with
all applicable federal, state and local accessibility requirements.
For purposes of this Agreement the number of accessible dwelling
units shall be [zero (0)] unless a greater number of units shall be
required by law, whereupon such greater number of units shall
apply.
4.2 Basic Design. Operator has submitted a general or basic concept drawing
to City, which City has approved, and a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit "E" (the "Basic Design"). Operator will complete the Improvements
on the Property in one phase, according to the Basic Design, and the
plans, drawings, and documents that Operator submits to City. Operator
shall carry out construction of the Project including the Improvements in
accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, codes,
ordinances and regulations, including without limitation all applicable state
and federal labor standards.
4.3 Books and Records. Operator shall make available for examination at
reasonable intervals and during normal business hours, all books,
20
12
accounts, reports, files and other papers or property with respect to all
matters covered by this Agreement, and shall permit City to audit,
examine and make excerpts or transcripts from such records. City may
audit any conditions relating to this Agreement at City's expense, unless
such audit shows a materially significant discrepancy in information
reported by Operator to City in which case Operator shall bear the cost of
such audit. Operator shall also reasonably cooperate with and assist the
City in City's compliance with any applicable audit requirements of the
California Redevelopment Law including California Health and Safety
Code Sections 33080 and 33080.1. This section shall survive for a period
of four years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
4.4 Audit. Operator shall be accountable to City for all Grant funds disbursed
to Operator pursuant to this Agreement. Operator will cooperate fully with
City and the State in connection with any interim or final audit relating to
the Project that may be performed. Operator will maintain accurate and
current books and records for the Project using generally accepted
accounting principles. Operator agrees to maintain books and records
that accurately and fully show the date, amount, purpose and payee of all
expenditures financed with Grant funds and to keep all invoices, receipts
and other documents related to expenditures financed with Grant funds for
not less than four (4) years after the fiscal year in which such expenditures
are incurred. For purposes of this section, "books, records and
documents" include, without limitation, plans, drawings, specifications,
ledgers, journals, statements, contracts/agreements, funding information,
purchase orders, invoices, Grant documents, computer printouts,
correspondence, memoranda and electronically stored versions of the
foregoing. This section shall survive for a period of four years after the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
4.5 Permits.
4.5.1 Project Completion. City, acting through and in the
discretion of its Director, may extend the completion date of the
Project for that period of time that City, in its reasonable discretion,
determines necessary to overcome any delay if and to the extent
such delay is due to a cause which is beyond Operator's
reasonable control, and if Operator could not, with reasonable
diligence, have foreseen and avoided such cause for delay. Such
causes include, without limitation, acts of God, unusually severe
weather or flood, war, terrorism, riot or act of the public enemy,
labor disputes, unavoidable inability to secure labor, materials,
supplies, tools or transportation, or acts or omissions of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction. City will not extend the
completion date for acts or omissions occurring through the fault of
Operator, or for acts of City permitted or contemplated by this
21
13
Agreement. An extension of time as provided in this subsection will
be Operator's sole remedy for any delays :in the Schedule of
Performance the Project completion date.
As a condition precedent to any extension requested by Operator,
Operator will give the City notice within ten (10) days after any
cause for delay occurs, stating the cause and the additional time
Operator anticipates needed to complete the Project. Any
extension by City must be in writing and signed by the Director or
the Director's designee, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned.
4.6 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Grant shall be disbursed to
Operator according to the Schedule of Performance. All Grant funds shall
be used solely for costs of the Project and Improvements.
4.7 Certificate of Completion. Operator will notify City when Operator deems
the Project complete. Within ten (10) business days after such notice, City
will inspect the Improvements. When City reasonably determines
Operator has completed the Improvements as required in this Agreement,
the Plan, and the Law, City will furnish Operator with the Certificate of
Completion. City will not unreasonably delay, condition or refuse to issue
the Certificate of Completion. The recorded Certificate of Completion will
be a conclusive determination that Operator has satisfactorily completed
the Improvements required under this Agreement. Any parties then
owning or subsequently purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any
interest in the Property will not (because of that Operatorship, purchase,
lease or acquisition) after the recording, incur any obligation or liability
under this Agreement for constructing the Improvements, but will take
such interest in the Property subject to the continuing covenants set forth
in this Agreement.
4.7.1 If City determines not to furnish the Certificate of
Completion, in accordance with Section 4.7 above, City will give
Operator a written notice stating why City has decided not to issue
the Certificate of Completion, or why it is delaying the issuance,
and the reasonable actions that, in City's opinion, Operator must
take before City can issue the Certificate of Completion. City's
failure to give the notice within ten (10) days, however, will not
cause the Operator to be entitled to the Certificate of Completion.
The Certificate of Completion is not a notice of completion as
referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code.
4.7.2 The following are conditions precedent to City issuing the
Certificate of Completion, and each submission will be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Director: Evidence that the time to file
22
14
all mechanics' liens or material men's liens has expired and any
such liens recorded against the Property or 'improvements have
been released or, if not released, sufficiently bonded (i.e. 150%)
against as required by law.
4.8 To the extent economically feasible, consistent with the requirements of
any permitted encumbrance, or as otherwise approved by City or provided
in the Agreement, if any building or improvement on the Property is
damaged or destroyed by an insurable cause, Operator shall, at its cost
and expense, diligently undertake to repair or restore said buildings and
improvements consistent with the Basic Design for the Project. Such work
or repair shall commence within ninety (90) days after the insurance
proceeds are made available to Operator and shall be complete within one
(1) year thereafter. All insurance proceeds collected for such damage or
destruction shall be applied to the cost of such repairs or restoration and,
if such insurance proceeds shall be insufficient for such purpose, Operator
shall make up the deficiency.
4.9 Inspections. Operator shall permit, facilitate and require its contractors to
permit and facilitate observation and inspection of the Project by City
during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable notice for the
purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.
4.10 If and to the extent that development of the Project results in the
permanent or temporary displacement of residential tenants, or
businesses, Operator shall comply with all applicable local, state (CRL)
and federal statutes and regulations with respect to relocation planning,
advisory assistance and payment of monetary benefits. Operator shall be
solely responsible for payment of any relocation benefits to any displaced
persons and any other obligations associated with complying with said
relocation laws.
4.11 Reporting Requirements. Operator shall submit to City the following
reports:
4.11.1 Annual Reports. Annually, beginning in the year
following City's issuance of the Certificate of Completion, and
continuing until the expiration of this Agreement, on such dates as
are agreeable between the parties and consistent with all federal
and state reporting requirements applicable to the Project,
Operator shall submit an annual report to City, in a form approved
by City. Such annual report shall include for each of the
Affordable Units: the rent, the annual income and the family size
of the Household occupying the Affordable Unit. Such annual
report shall also state the date the tenancy commenced for each
Affordable Unit, certification from an officer of Operator that the
15 23
Affordable Unit is in compliance with the Affordable Rental
Housing requirements, and such other information the City may
be required by Law to obtain. Operator shall provide any
additional information reasonably requested by the City provided
such information is directly related to Operator's compliance with
this Agreement.
4.11.2 Annual Proof of Insurance. Annually, beginning in the
year following City's issuance of the Certificate of Completion, and
continuing until the expiration of the Agreement, Operator shall
submit proof of insurance as required by this Agreement.
4.12 All Leases used to rent the Affordable Units are subject to the following:
4.12.1 Annual Income Certification and Reporting. Operator
shall include in leases for all Affordable Units provisions which
authorize Operator to immediately terminate the tenancy of any
Household one or more of whose members misrepresented any
fact material to the Household's qualification as a Household for
low- to moderate-income family. Each such lease shall also
provide that the Household is subject to annual certification, and
that, if the Household's annual income increases above the
applicable limits for low to moderate income family such
Household's rent may be subject to increase to the amount
payable by tenant under federal, state or local law, except that,
consonant with the Law, tenants of the Affordable Units that have
been allocated to low income housing tax credits by a housing
credit City pursuant to section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (26 U.S.C. 42) must pay rent governed by Section 42.
4.12.2 The leases for the Affordable Units shall provide that
if the Project is subject to state or federal rules governing low
income housing tax credits, the provision of those rules regarding
continued occupancy by, and increases in rent for, Households
whose incomes exceed the eligible income limitation shall apply in
place of the provisions set forth in subsection 4.11.1 above.
4.13 With respect to the Project, Operator shall comply with the following:
4.13.1 Except to any extent otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Operator is specifically responsible for all
management functions with respect to the Affordable Units
including, without limitation, the selection of tenants, certification
and re-certification of Household size and income, evictions,
collection of rents and deposits, maintenance, landscaping,
routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital items and
16 24
security. City shall have no responsibility for management of the
Affordable Units of the Project.
4.14 Operator covenants and agrees the Affordable Units shall constitute
Affordable Rental Housing during the entire Affordability Period. If
Operator fails to comply the requirement to lease the Affordable Units only
to qualified Households during the Affordability period, City shall be
entitled to enjoin Operator from leasing the Affordable Units in the Project,
as Operator acknowledges that damages are not an adequate remedy at
law for such breach.
5. INDEMNITY; INSURANCE
5.1 Operator shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend City, City and each of
their officers, officials, employees, agents from any and all loss, liability,
fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether in contract, tort
or strict liability, including but not limited to personal' injury, death at any
time and property damage) incurred by City, City, Operator, or any other
person, and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity
(including attorney's fees and litigation expenses), arising or alleged to
have arisen directly or indirectly out of Operator's performance of this
Agreement. Operator's obligations under the preceding sentence shall not
apply to any loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs or damages
caused solely by the gross negligence, or caused by the willful
misconduct, of City, City or any of their officers, officials, employees,
agents or volunteers. This section shall survive expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
Throughout the life of this Agreement, the Operator shall pay for and
maintain in full force and effect all policy(ies) of insurance required
hereunder with (an) insurance company(ies) either (1) admitted by the
California Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of
California and rated not less than "A-VII" in Best's Insurance Rating Guide,
or (2) authorized by the City's Risk Manager or his/her designee. The
following policies of insurance are required:
5.2.1 Until the Certificate of Completion is recorded,
Builders Risk (Course of Construction) insurance in an
amount equal to the completed value of the project with no
coinsurance penalty provisions.
5.2.2. Following the recording of the Certificate of
Completion, Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance against
loss or damage to the project by fire and lightning, with
extended coverage for vandalism and malicious mischief
17 25
and sprinkler system leakage. Such extended coverage
insurance will, as nearly as practicable, cover loss or
damage by explosion, windstorm, riot, aircraft, vehicle,
smoke and such other hazards as are normally covered by
such insurance. Such insurance shall be in an amount equal
to the replacement cost (without deduction for depreciation)
of the project with no coinsurance penalty provisions.
All policies of insurance required hereunder shall be endorsed to provide
that the coverage shall not be cancelled, non-renewed, reduced in
coverage or in limits except after 30 calendar day written notice has been
given to City. Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of
cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage or in limits, Operator
shall furnish City with a new certificate and applicable endorsements for
such policy(ies). In the event any policy is due to expire during the term of
this Agreement, Operator shall provide a new certificate, and applicable
endorsements, evidencing renewal of such policy not less than 15
calendar days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy.
The Builders Risk (Course of Construction) and Fire and Extended
Coverage insurance policies shall be endorsed to name City as a loss
payee.
Operator shall furnish City with all certificate(s) and applicable
endorsements effecting coverage required hereunder. All certificates
and applicable endorsements are to be received and approved by the
City's Risk Manager or his/her designee prior to City's execution of this
Agreement.
If at any time Operator fails to maintain the required insurance in full force
and effect, Operator shall immediately discontinue all work under this
Agreement until City receives notice that the required insurance has been
restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been
paid for a period satisfactory to the City. Operator's failure to maintain any
required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this
Agreement.
The fact that insurance is obtained by Operator shall not be deemed to
release or diminish the liability of Operator, including, without limitation,
liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to
indemnify City, City and each of their officials, officers, employees, agents
and volunteers shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether
any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a
limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Operator.
Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no
way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Operator.
18 26
Upon request of City, Operator shall immediately furnish City with a
complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement,
including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to
be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall
survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
5.3 Operator will obtain and deliver payment and performance bonds issued
by an insurance company admitted in California in good standing as a
surety and meeting the criteria for Operator's other insurance under this
Agreement, each bond in an amount at least equal to 100% of Operator's
estimated construction costs, provided that the City hereby waives any
requirement for said bonds at all time during which Operator is in full
compliance with this Agreement and the Project remains fully funded.
5.4 Until City issues the Certificate of Completion City will have access to the
Property, after reasonable notice to the Operator (except in emergencies),
without charge or fee, during normal construction hours, for purposes of
assuring compliance with this Agreement. City representatives will comply
with all safety rules while on the Project or the Property.
5.5 Operator will design and construct the Improvements, and after that, prior
to any allowable transfer or sale thereof, Operator will maintain the
Property according to all applicable laws including, without limitation, all
applicable state labor standards, City zoning and development standards,
building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes, all provisions of the
Palm Springs Municipal Code and all applicable access requirements.
City makes no representation about which, if any, of such laws,
ordinances, regulations or standards apply to development of the Project.
Operator acknowledges that Operator, not City, is responsible for
determining applicability of and compliance with all local, state, and
federal laws including, but not limited to, any applicable provisions of the
California Labor Code, Public Contract Code, and Government Code. City
makes no express or implied representation as to the applicability or
inapplicability of any such laws to this Agreement or to the parties'
respective rights or obligations hereunder including, but not limited to,
payment of prevailing wages, competitive bidding, subcontractor listing, or
similar or different matters. Operator further acknowledges that City shall
not be liable or responsible at law or in equity for any failure by Operator
to comply with any such laws, regardless of whether City knew or should
have known of the need for such compliance, or whether City failed to
notify Operator of the need for such compliance.
5.6 Operator will take reasonable efforts to not permit any lien or stop notice
to be filed against the Property, provided Operator may reasonably
determine to contest any such lien or stop notice. If a claim of lien or stop
notice is recorded against the Property or Improvements, Operator, within
27
19
30 days after recordation of a claim of lien or stop notice or within 5 days
after City's demand, whichever first occurs, will do the following:
5.6.1 Pay and discharge the same; or
5.6.2 Effect the release of such lien by recordling and delivering to
City a surety bond in sufficient form and amount (i.e. 150%), or
otherwise; or
5.6.3 Give City other assurance which City, in its sole discretion,
deems satisfactory to protect the City from the effect of the lien or
bonded stop notice.
6. SECURITY FINANCING AND RIGHTS OF HOLDERS.
6.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Operator may not
grant a security interest in the Property before the City issues and records
a Certificate of Completion, without the written consent of City, provided
that City hereby approves the recommended security interest of
Operator's financial institutions, including their respective successors or
assigns, as described in the Financing Plan.
7. CONTINUING OPERATOR OBLIGATIONS
7.1 In its performance of this Agreement, Operator covenants by and for itself
and its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through
them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any
person, including contractors, subcontractors, bidders and vendors, on
account of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual
preference, age, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition,
medical condition (e.g., cancer related) or physical or mental disability,

other applicable anti-discrimination laws and regulations of the United
States and the State of California as they now exist or may hereafter be
amended. Operator will allow City representatives access to its
employment records related to this Agreement during regular business
28
20
hours and upon reasonable notice to verify compliance with these
provisions when so requested by the City.
7.2 If applicable, Operator will pay before delinquency all ad valorem real
estate taxes and assessments on the Property, subject to the Operator's
right to contest in good faith any such taxes. Operator will remove any
levy or attachment on the Property or any part of it, or assure the
satisfaction of the levy or attachment within a reasonable time. Operator
will notify City prior to applying for or receiving any exemption from the
payment of property taxes or assessments on any interest in or to the
Property or the Improvements. Operator further agrees that the prior
consent of City shall be required if the basis for such exemption is other
than for qualified property held by a nonprofit entity that has been
determined to be exempt from federal and state income taxation, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
8. COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS. The following covenants shall run with the
Operator's Lease with the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside, and
Operator's successors in interest to the Property for the periods stated, and shall
be fully binding for the benefit of the Plan community and City without regard to
technical classification or designation, legal or otherwise.
8.1 Operator covenants for itself, its successors, assigns, and every
successor in interest to the Property or any part of it that, after closing of
any applicable escrow, during construction, and after completing the
Improvements, the Operator shall devote the Affordable Units on the

Period. All uses of the Affordable Units including, without limitation, all
activities Operator undertakes pursuant to this Agreement, shall conform
with this Agreement and the Law. Without waiver or limitation, each of the
Affordable Units to be constructed pursuant to this Agreement shall be
maintained as Affordable Rental Housing pursuant to this Agreement and
the Restrictions.
8.2 Operator and those taking under Operator will maintain the Property and
all Improvements on site in reasonably good-condition and repair (and, as
to landscaping, if any, in a healthy condition), all according to the Basic
Design and related plans, as-amended from time to time. Operator and
those taking under Operator shall: (i) maintain all on-site Improvements

regulations of all federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental
agencies and bodies having or claiming jurisdiction and all their respective
departments, bureaus, and officials; (ii) keep the Improvements free from

waste material; (iv) promptly make repairs and replacements to the on-site
29
21

City will give Operator written notice of any breach of this Section 8.2.
Within 10 days from receipt of such notice, City and Operator will meet

performance for such corrective actions. Operator must cure the default
within the agreed schedule or within (a) 10 days after the City's notice for
any default involving landscaping, graffiti, debris, waste material, or
general maintenance on the Property, (b) 30 days after City's notice for

Proposed Operational Plan for Nightengale Manor
Submitted by Jewish Family Service of San Diego, dba Desert SOS
June 12,2012
Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFSSD), dba Desert SOS, is in a unique position to again assume
operations of Nightengale Manor. Having successfully operated the facility previously, coupled with
being the operator of the Desert Vista Permanent Supportive Housing Program,we are poised to
transform the facility into a permanent home for low and extremely low-income individuals. The Desert
Vista program is both already fully-funded and ideal for relocating some of its residents to the
Nightengale facility. On March 1, 2011,JFSSD was awarded a$650K annual Riverside County of
Riverside Department of Public Social Services (DPSS)contract to operate the Desert Vista Permanent
Supportive Housing Program. Desert Vista is a HUD-funded,40-bed,scattered site program serving
disabled individuals. JFSSD was awarded this program based, in part, on the excellent program reviews
JFSSD has received for Desert Horizon,the 32-bed, HUD-funded transitional living program which JFSSD
has operated since December 1, 2007. Desert Vista has secure matching funds, as required by HUD.
The contract was renewed on March 1, 2013 for one additional year and continued funding is highly
likely.
JFSSD has determined that the Nightengale facility can comfortably accommodate 10 of the 40 Desert
Vista residents. In anticipation of this,JFSSD entered into a lease for the property with the Housing
Authority of Riverside County on November 28, 2011. Since that time,JFSSD has maintained the
property at our expense.
Due to the current condition of the facility, modifications to the structure will be necessary. These
necessary changes include: adding kitchenettes to the units that do not have them; modifying some of
the existing kitchenettes; remodeling one of the units to render it ADA compliant; replacing two
pressure regulators that were removed due to vandalism; replacing HVAC units;installing new locks,
deadbolts,and necessary appliances; painting the facility's interior and some of its exterior; removing of
hazardous playground equipment; and thoroughly cleaning(i.e. "deep cleaning)the facility.
The result will be 10 Single Room Occupancy(SRO) units with one individual in each unit, as required by
HUD for permanent housing. Residents can stay in the units indefinitely and pay 30%of their adjusted
gross income for rent. Rental income is put back into the program to help pay for supportive services.
There will be an office on-site that will be staffed during regular business hours. A full array of
supportive services will be offered on the premises, including intensive case management. As JFSSD did
when operating this facility previously,security and neighborhood relations will be a major focus of
staff.
Participants will be assisted with meeting HUD national goals and remain in permanent housing through
the following means and activities:
a. Moderate Demand Housing Model
b. Participating in the Process of Identifying and Achieving Goals
c. Developing an Individual Housing Plan
d. Skill development

Proposed Operational Plan for Nightengale Manor
Adjusting to a Moderate-Demand Model
A moderate demand model will be used to help clients obtain and remain in permanent housing. Within
this model, clients will realize that there is a moderate predetermined, standard timeframe. Clients
have sufficient time to complete related tasks, develop skills, and achieve the confidence to retain
housing.
Participating in the Process of Identifying and Achieving Goals
As soon as it is reasonable within this moderate-demand model, clients will learn about the primary
goals of the model through meeting with staff(particularly Employment, Housing, Life Skills and Benefit
staff) will assist them with their housing, income and resource goals. This will help promote a sense of
autonomy, responsibility, and a sense of having control over and being able to take action to positively
influence their lives.
Developing an Individual Housing Plan
Participants will be assisted with remaining in permanent housing by developing an Individualized
Housing Plan with the proposed program's staff. Each participant will begin developing an Individualized
Housing Plan by completing an assessment tool. The assessment tool will evaluate each participant's
current level of readiness and will indicate areas where additional skills are needed to live successfully in
permanent housing.
Development of Skills to Maintain Permanent Housing
Staff will assist clients in identifying their needs and monitor performance goals. The goals that will be
measured for success within the plan will include employment (if client is employable), income, money
management, medical and mental health care (as needed), crisis/peer counseling, substance abuse
treatment(if needed), accessing mainstream resources,and other life skills training.
The Desert-SOS staff is trained to provide counseling and instruction focusing,on tenants successfully
realizing HUD's National goals:
• To help participants obtain and remain in permanent housing
• To help participants increase skills and/or income
• To help participants achieve greater self-determination
The Facility
In anticipation of this project,JFSSD called for bids from a number of licensed contractors obtained from
a list of contractors who have done work for the City of Palm Springs. The successful bidder is Chris W.
Foster, Inc., General Building Contractor. Mr. Foster's business is located in Palm Springs and he has
walked the property multiple times to assure a complete bid. His bid includes the latest roof damage
which JFSSD temporarily repaired until renovation work could begin. Mr. Foster's company carries all of
the requisite liability and insurance coverage. He was the only contractor who presented a full bid and
was also the lowest cost.
The facility will house 10 residents and will have a community room for community and case
management meetings, storage for necessary supplies, a laundry area and an on-site office. The office
will be staffed during regular business hours with on-call staff available during off hours. Two existing
units will be combined to make one large,fully ADA-compliant unit which will be wheelchair accessible.

Proposed Operational Plan for Nightengale Manor
A detailed budget is included detailing the renovations required to bring the facility to HUD standards.
Depending on availability of funds,JFSSD anticipates a 60-day construction period and occupancy on or
around September 1, 2012.
