Exhibit A
SCOPE OF SERVICES & FEE SCHEDULE

Fee Schedule

Program Compliance
Summary
Upon careful analysis of the Regulatory Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants,
the Amendment of Regulatory Agreement, the Seal Beach Shores Subsidy Application Packet,
the Seal Beach Shores Annual Housing Affordability Survey, the Administration and Oversight
Agreement as well as the results of the Administrative Audit as performed by JWA Urban
Consultants in November 2015, CivicStone has found a number of program non - compliance
issues that need to be addressed, documented and resolved. Each discovered area of non-
compliance is briefly described below, as well as CivicStone's recommended resolution. Once
each issue is resolved to the City's satisfaction, only the maintenance from the Program
Administrator and Oversight Agent will be required annually; as Program Compliance will be
complete.
Fee Schedule
An estimation of hours required to resolve the non - compliant areas is listed for budgetary
purposes in each section. However, often non - compliant issues are easy to diagnose, but the
depth and breadth of the underlying problems and needed actions to resolve those problems
are unknown until work commences and uncovers the ease or complexity. Consequently,
CivicStone's recommended actions in these areas will be billed on an hourly basis.with frequent
reviews by the City of Seal Beach, without a not -to- exceed contract amount. Budgeted amounts
are estimated based upon information known at this time and anticipated work required. Any
additions to the scope and amount will be mutually agreed upon by CivicStone and the City of
Seal Beach. The billing rates are as follows:
12598 Central Ave, Suite 102, Chino, CA 91710 Phone: 909.885-0229 Fax: 909 -885 -0649
mm.civicstone.corn =_
Adam Eliason CEO: $120 per hour
Monique Eliason Project Coordinator: $95 per hour
Administration Specialist: $50 per hour
File Repair
Issue: As mentioned by JWA, "most files do not contain the full set of information and
documents; many are missing the initial applications, tax returns at time of initial application,
calculation of low /mod determination and rent affordability" needed to document program
compliance.
Action: CivicStone will develop a file log to be used for each qualifying resident. CivicStone
will compile documentation from Seal Beach Shores Park office, the Fullerton main office, J &H
Asset Property Mgmt., RSG, The Lofting Firm as well as contact individual residents to
complete and maintain the master files. Where documents are missing or unavailable, current
compliance documents will be included to verify eligibility. For example, if self- certification of
income is the only source of income eligibility, CivicStone will acquire back -up documents to
properly verify income. If there are missing tax returns because the resident doesn't file due to
income; a Declaration Of Exemption for filing taxes will be included in the log's section for tax
returns. Notations will be made in each section for ease of analysis as well as provide a
comprehensive applicant history.
Estimated Budget: $7,750
Problematic Forms
Issue: The existing Exhibit "B" Income Computation and Certification form is used to verify
income and determine percent Median Income for program compliance. However, the existing
form requires no back -up documentation nor substantiated proof of income. Consequently, the
resident self- certifies income. This is problematic, and will not be adequate proof of income in
an audit.
Action: CivicStone will revise this form to help the applicant accurately identify all sources of
income, as well as list acceptable and required back -up documentation for proper income
verification.
Estimated Budget: $250
Issue: As noted by JWA, the existing Occupancy Agreement as well as the Subscription
Agreement both issued by Seal Beach Shores, do not adequately identify the requirements of
the resident with the Regulatory Agreement; specifically in regards to the affordability
requirements. Furthermore, the Occupancy Agreement also allows the subleasing of the
Member's Space, which is a direct violation of the Regulatory Agreement.
12598 Central Ave, Suite 102, Chino, CA 91710 Phone: 909 -885 -0229 Fax: 909-885-0649
www.civicstone.com __
Action: CivicStone will work closely with Seal Beach Shores and appropriate legal counsel to
fix these Agreements and replace the existing Agreements with corrected ones; or have
Addenda created to remove the Regulatory Agreement conflicts. It is anticipated that Seal
Beach Shores will get the updated Agreements and /or Addenda signed by the residents.
Estimated Budget: $1,425
Issue: According to the Regulatory Agreement, the resident leases should have a provision
that mandates that any misrepresentation of income or failure to cooperate with the annual
certification will disqualify the Space as a Qualified Space and provide grounds for termination
of the lease. The existing leases do not have this provision.
Action: CivicStone will work with the legal department to fix these leases and replace the
existing leases with corrected ones or have an Addendum created to the same effect. It is
anticipated that Seal Beach Shores will get the Addendum signed by the residents.
Estimated Budget: $675
RAMP -UP Funds
Issue: Residents at Seal Beach Shores Mobile Home Park that have long -term leases prior to
November 2000 all receive rental assistance in the form of Ramp -Up funds. Upon investigation
by JWA Urban Consultants November 2015 Administrative Audit, it is unclear why these
payments are made or the source of the funds to make these payments. Some account is
being drained of money without proper oversight. Conjecture is that there may have been a
"buy -in" when the initial Regulatory Agreement was made, but no documentation has been
found.
Action: CivicStone will investigate the source of the funds as well as the purpose for the
distribution. CivicStone will begin with inquiries at RSG and if needed trace the assistance
checks through the bank. By following the trail of money, CivicStone hopes to locate the source
of funds, the account used for funding, as well as the purpose for the expenditures. Once this is
determined, CivicStone will discuss its findings with the City of Seal Beach and determine the
next plan of action. Possible actions resulting from this investigation could result in: drafting a
staff report to advise council and recommending approval to move forward with existing funding
as well as creating a report of program summary for the City of Seal Beach.
Estimated Budget: $2,800
Policy & Procedures Manual
Issue: Likely the Bond Regulatory Agreement was properly managed by the Redevelopment
Agency of The City of Seal Beach. However, when the Redevelopment Agency was closed,
some of the compliance monitoring and history was lost.
12598 Central Ave, Suite 102, Chino, CA 91710 Phone: 909885 -0229 Fax: 909- 885 -0649
www.civicstone.com -_-.-
Action: CivicStone will create an extensive Policy & Procedures Manual that will identify the
specific duties and responsibilities of each entity involved in this Regulatory Agreement; the
milestones and deadlines; action items; provide check lists and applicable forms and Exhibits.
This Policy & Procedures Manual will be a valuable tool for the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Borrower, the Program Administrator as well as the Oversight Agent. It will be written so that a
change in personnel at any level will not jeopardize the proper management of the Regulatory
Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
Estimated Budget: $9,600
