MEETING DATE: January 3, 2012
TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE & REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT OF A GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE FOR THE
TUSTIN LEGACY PROJECT INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT
OF CC&R'S AND DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE SUBMITTALS
SUMMARY
Approval is requested for Consultant Services Agreements (CSA) to provide
professional services to assist the City in development of a governance structure in its
limited executive master developer role, including development of CC&R's for the Tustin
Legacy Project, maintenance budgets and assessment schedules, and Department of
Real Estate submittals.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager or Assistant Executive Director to execute the
attached CSA with Luce, Forward, Hamilton, & Scripps, LLP (Luce Forward),
subject to non-substantive modifications as may be deemed necessary by the
City Attorney prior to execution of the CSA.
2. Authorize the City Manager or Assistant Executive Director to execute the
attached CSA with PCM Consulting Services, Inc. (PCM), subject to non-
substantive modifications as may be deemed necessary by the City Attorney
prior to execution of the CSA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council at its meeting on December 6, 2011, approved a budget appropriation
for preparation of CC&R's for the Tustin Legacy Project (Tustin Legacy Expenditure
Account 200-40-00-7500). In the event any current contractual restrictions on the
Redevelopment Agency under the California Supreme Court stay of portions of AB1 26

Page 2
and AB1 27 are lifted, the MCAS Tustin Project Area will repay the Capital Projects
Fund.
It is estimated that the cost for Luce Forward services will be approximately $85,000
with services with PCM estimated at $25,000.
BACKGROUND
As was discussed in the City's executive master developer expenditure budget and
included in the Tustin Legacy Disposition Strategy which was accepted by the City
Council in April of 2011, the City will need to place CCR's and Special Restrictions on
property within-the former master developer footprint prior to any land sales for at least
the sites for which the City is the process of selecting developers. The development
sites that are being marketed and succeeding property owners would be bound by
these future CC&Rs and Special Restrictions as they affect development of individual
sites and will be for the purpose of enhancing and protecting the value, desirability and
attractiveness of the property and the Tustin Legacy Project.
It is anticipated that development sites as may be required by the City would be
included in a Master Association or Associations which would have jurisdiction over all
or portions of the Tustin Legacy Project and will be formed ta, among other things,
maintain private parks, common areas, landscaping, medians and any private streets
that are not accepted for maintenance by the City. Properties within the Master
Association would be required to pay all costs incurred for said maintenance and the
cost of work that might be associated with annexation of development sites to the
Master Association documents including, but not limited to, the cost of any modifications
to a standard Supplemental Declaration which would be directed by the City as a result
of the nature of a particular project, and the cost of any City and outside counsel review
and approval of any documents required or provided pursuant to this process.
There are a number of law firms and budget estimating firms that provide quality
services. However, both Luce Forward and PCM have previously undertaken a
considerable amount of background work on the Tustin Legacy Project, and have
previously been involved in development of a preliminary governance structure with the
City's involvement and that of the former master developer. Procuring the services of
both Luce Forward and PCM will benefit the Tustin Legacy Project in time savings and
cost savings, and is the most cost efficient approach given the steep learning curve
needed to gain expertise regarding the project. Going through an open solicitation
process would result in the City largely having to pay to educate the new firms regarding
the complexities of the Tustin Legacy Project.

What is being proposed is coordinated effort by two firms: Luce Forward and PCM, Inc.
with a summary of the scope of each firm's proposed work as follows:
• Luce Forward is a law firm whose scope would include analyzing and working with
City staff to develop governance alternatives for the Project, structuring the actual
governance documents, and processing them with the California Department of Real
Estate. They will also be available as an additional scope of work in the future to
process any supplements to the CCR's that may be required as development sites
are added to the initial governance structure.
• PCM, Inc. has almost 40 years in managing hundreds of communities throughout
Southern California. Accurate budgets are critical to ensuring that maintenance is
adequately handled in master associations. Appropriately, PCM will coordinate with
the City on forward planning/association readiness including coordinating with the
City and providing input to the City and Luce Forward on the governance structure
and .determining and completing an adequate financial feasibility analysis,
preparation of a budget structure and assessment program, cash flow analysis and
any tasks necessary to ensure association readiness, training, and Department of
Real Estate budget submittals.
A copy of the CSA for each firm is attached with an accompanied detailed scope of
work. Staff will be available to respond to any questions that the City Council might
have.

EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Phase 1 -Analyze Governance Alternatives and Agree Upon a Governance
Approach
During this Phase, an overall governance framework shall be developed.
1. Consultant shall meet with the City and appropriate City staff members and
consultants as determined by the Contract Officer (i.e. engineering team etc.) to review
the proposed Tustin Legacy development plan and objectives of the City in
implementing the development plan through one or more community associations. It is
anticipated that this initial meeting would likely be a two to three hour meeting.
2. Consultant shall develop an analysis of the various alternative governance structures
for discussion and evaluation by the City. This analysis will include a description of the
advantages and disadvantages of each of the alternative governance strategies.
3. Consultant shall meet with the City and appropriate City staff and consultants as
determined by the Contract Officer to review the proposed governance alternatives and
to consider which governance alternatives may or may not be acceptable. This is
anticipated to involve a two to three hour meeting, after which Consultant shall modify,
adapt and refine the analysis of the governance alternatives in response to direction
from the Contract OfFicer and obtain preliminary City's agreement in the governance
approach for Tustin Legacy.
Phase 2 -Agreement on Key Issues for Governing Documents and Identification
of Budget Issues
During this Phase, the Consultant shall work with the City to obtain agreement on the
key terms to be included in various CC&R's and identify any budget issues.
1. Consultant shall identify those issues that need to be considered in Consultant's
preparation of the governing documents for the community association(s). Concurrently
with the preparation of a list of the legal issues, the City will also coordinate with its
"Budget Preparer Consultant" who will also prepare a list of issues for consideration.
Consultant, and City team members will be responsible for considering and responding
to the lists of issues.
2. During this Phase, there will be several working meetings with the Consultant who
shall meet with the City and appropriate City staff and consultants as directed by the
Contract OfFicer to reach agreement on (a) designating areas that will be privately
1
maintained by a community association or other association; (b) designating areas that
will be maintained by the City but owned by a private entity such as an association; (c)
determining possible formulas for allocating assessments; (d) determining possible
voting structures and ensuring the City retains necessary jurisdiction over certain
matters of concern to the City; (e) determining applicable use restrictions; and (f)
identifying any cost sharing agreements that may need to be implemented by and
among the various associations that may be formed to govern portions of Tustin
Legacy. Once the maintenance areas are determined, the City's engineer will prepare a
comprehensive maintenance exhibit.
3. Consultant, when directed by the City Contract Officer and after apre-meeting, will
review the proposed structure with the Department of Real Estate.
4. Consultant will provide a presentation of proposed structure to the City Council.
Phase 3 - Preparation of Governing Documents and Coordination with
Developers
During this Phase, the Consultant shall prepare the governing documents. It is
assumed that there be at least one and more likely two sets of CC&Rs and two
community associations that will need to be created at a minimum.
1. Consultant shall complete drafts of the governing documents which will be submitted
to the City for review. Consultant will hold a number of meetings with City staff and
their team to review. Consultant shall finalize drafts of the documents prior to any
transmittal of documents by the City to potential developers. At the same time, City will
also review its Budget Preparer Consultant's budget and provide direction for resolution
of any budget related issues.
2. There will likely be several developers for development areas at Tustin Legacy in the
future. Acting as the Executive Master Developer, City will need to coordinate with the
potential developers to finalize governing documents. Consultant shall coordinate
review of governing documents with developers, as appropriate, when and if directed by
the City's Contract Officer.
3. As the Executive Master Developer, the City will decide on what role it will take in
obtaining approval from the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) for governing
documents. Typically, a master developer would coordinate with a guest builder to
process the governing documents through DRE. However, given the change in
personnel at DRE, the DRE may not agree to review governing documents unless a first
builder file is submitted to the DRE. During this step, Consultant shall develop
procedures for the City to coordinate with the developers to submit the first file to DRE
2
and to ensure there is uniformity of approach imposed in all conveyance documents to
any developers/builders at Tustin Legacy.
Additional Scope of Work
Certain additional scope of work tasks identified as Phase 4 may be required.
Consultant will be provided with direction to proceed with this additional scope of work
only subject to a written agreement between the City and Consultant in the future once
the necessary level of effort and costs can be more adequately determined.
Phase 4- Preparation of Supplements to the Declarations
Throughout the build-out of Tustin Legacy, the City as the Executive Master Developer,
will be required to coordinate Supplemental Declarations to be recorded with each
development phase. The initial recorded CC&R's will set the framework for these
Supplemental Declarations. The Supplemental Declarations will be critical to designate
areas and special maintenance responsibilities on a phase by phase basis. Consultant,
subject to a future written modification to the Consultant Services Agreement, may be
asked to assist in this Phase and various required document preparations.
