STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: REVIEW AND APPROVE CASH MANAGEMENT POLICY
RECOMMENDATION
Review and approve a Cash Management Policy.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Housing Commission is asked to review, discuss, and approve the
Cash Management Policy (Policy).
• The Policy is new and would provide guidelines for standard citywide
practices for receiving, processing, and handing cash.
• Staff and City Attorney have reviewed the proposed Policy. The Policy
conforms to current laws and governmental accounting best practices.
• Subsequent to Commission approvals the Policy will be presented to City
Council for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of this Policy does not have a monetary impact. However, the
approval of this policy will provide standard guidelines for handling cash.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
As an advisor to the Finance department, the F inancial Advisory Commission
was also asked to review, discuss, and approve the recommended Policy. The
Policy applies to all City Funds, including those of the Housing Authority.
The City does not currently have a policy governing cash management but
follows the procedures outlined in the Policy. Adoption of a formal Policy was
recommended by two external agencies – the City’s primary insurance carrier,
California Joint Power Insurance Authority (CJPIA) and the State of California
Department of Transportation (CalTrans).
The Policy establishes Citywide standard guidelines for the management of cash
and cash equivalent transactions such as credit cards and checks. Furthermore,
the Policy references additional reporting requirements for Federally funded
procurements as governed under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 2
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
Grant and Agreements, Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, commonly known as
Uniform Grant Guidance (UGG).
To ensure compliance with current laws and regulatory requirements, the Policy
was reviewed by staff and City Attorney.
ALTERNATIVES:
The purpose of this item is to receive input from the Commission. The
Commission may either approve as presented or recommend further changes,
which adhere to external regulatory requirements.

CASH MANAGEMENT POLICY
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Cash Management Policy is to provide guidelines for standard citywide
cash handling practices in order to ensure proper and consistent procedures for receiving,
processing, and handling cash.
2. SCOPE
This policy applies to all City Funds, employees, departments, volunteers, vendors, or other
persons whose assigned duties involve handling City cash or funds must comply with the
policies and procedures contained herein. Departments are responsible for ensuring that
every employee, volunteer, vendor, or other person whose assigned duties involve handling
City cash or funds adheres to this Policy.
3. GENERAL POLICY
It is City of La Quinta’s (City) policy to protect the City’s assets, including cash, from theft,
loss and misuse; and to ensure that the City receives, accurately records, and promptly
deposits all cash and cash equivalents to which the City is entitled. Cash: may be comprised
of, but not limited to coin, currency, checks, money orders, debit and credit card transactions,
and electronic fund transfers.
The City currently has designated revenue collection sites including:
a. Finance Department
b. The Hub
c. Wellness Center
d. Museum & Library
e. SilverRock Golf Course
f. Special Events - On an as needed basis, there may be situations requiring
establishment of temporary receipting points, which collect cash on an ad-hoc basis
(e.g. community festivals, golf tours).
4. MANAGEMENT OF CASH
All City bank accounts shall be carried in the name of the City with additional secondary
designations within the bank account name as to the purpose of the bank account, where
appropriate (e.g. SilverRock Golf Resort, La Quinta Housing Authority).
5. CASH RECEIPTING
Cash receipting, for the purpose of this policy, encompasses the following:
a. Accounting for cash as it is received
b. Pre-numbered consecutive receipts to be provided for cash received
c. Adequate separation of duties (collection, depositing, and reconciling)
d. Refunds, voids, and cash over/short transactions
2 of 8
6. SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Collection of cash, deposit preparation, and reconciliation duties shall be performed by
separate individuals, but at a minimum, reconciliation should be done by a separate
person. The employee who physically collects the cash cannot be the same individual
performing the reconciliation duties. In the event segregation of duties is not possible,
the department shall work with the Finance Department to establish agreed upon internal
control procedures.
7. FINANCE DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the Finance Department to track and ensure the timely deposit of
City funds collected or generated at authorized locations and account for all funds submitted
by all revenue collection sites. The Finance Department will assist and provide materials
needed to departments and cashiers as follows:
a. Provide cash handling training to City departments and employees.
b. Perform cash deposit reconciliations between bank records and cash receipt vouchers
that are input into the financial system. Any discrepancies resulting from errors by
the bank or the City will be resolved by the Finance Department.
c. Provide revenue collection sites with a change fund to allow cashiers to give change
to customers.
The Finance Department is responsible for establishing citywide practices, providing forms,
and other actions necessary to implement the Cash Management Policy.
8. DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBILITY
Cash handling involves special control measures that must be monitored continually by
supervisory personnel within each department that maintains cash in order to detect any
weaknesses. Department heads are responsible for conducting periodic reviews of their
department cash handling activities to ensure these procedures are understood and followed
consistently by staff.
The responsibilities of City employees and their supervisors who are involved in the handling
of cash on behalf of the City include:
a. Cash receipting
b. Distribution of petty cash
c. Reconciling of cash receipts
d. Depositing of cash
e. Safeguarding of cash
f. Reporting of cash transactions and variances
9. SAFEGUARDING OF CASH
The City shall maintain, as deemed appropriate, physical security systems (i.e. safes, alarms,
panic buttons, motion detectors, security cameras, etc.) to ensure the safety of personnel
and funds in areas where cash is collected, reconciled, and stored. In addition, access to
counter, cash handling, and storage areas will be restricted to authorized personnel.
The safeguarding of cash relates to the processing, storing, and transporting of cash and to
the safekeeping of keys and safe combinations. Each location maintains at least one safe
3 of 8
that is used to hold cash, change boxes, point of sale cash drawers, bank deposits, and
transaction records/receipts. Safes have adequate locking mechanisms and keys to change
boxes are kept in locked cabinets. To ensure internal controls, access is limited to select
personnel and combinations are updated regularly and never shared.
The employee is responsible for verifying the cash drawer contains the designated starting
balance prior to processing any payments. Verification of cash in drawer will take place in
the area designated for balancing drawers. The employee is responsible for the contents,
security, and keys for the cash drawer at all times. The employee must lock all cash and
cash equivalents in a drawer or other secure location whenever leaving the workstation,
including for break and lunch periods. The employee shall maintain adequate change in
their drawers. Change can be requested through a supervisor or directly from the Finance
Department.
Cash funds must not be left unattended. Cash shall always be stored in a locked, secured
location until it is deposited. Access to the secured area should be limited to authorized
individuals only.
10. DEPOSITING OF FUNDS
All cash collections are to be deposited. Collections may not be reserved for petty cash
or used to pay department expenses. Deposits of cash on hand shall be made no less
than weekly.
In order to maintain an efficient cashiering service at the cash collection sites where
the City accepts payments, the City’s policy regarding reasonable amounts and
denominations of coinage the City will accept as a form of payment is:
a. City personnel will not accept over $10.00 in unrolled coins or $20.00 in
rolled coins in sleeves per payment.
b. Customers will indicate their name and phone number on each roll in order
to provide contact information in the event questions arise on the coin roll.
Regular reconciliations are to be prepared at the departmental level to confirm that all
receipts have been recorded in the point of sale system. A designated employee at the
departmental level prepares deposits and a separate employee documents those
reconciliations. The supervisor shall keep a log on overages/shortages by cashier. This log
shall be reviewed to identify areas of improvement in cash handling procedures. On any
overage/shortage the cashier shall prepare a written explanation as to what occurred and
attach it to the reconciliation. The Finance Department shall ensure all transactions are
properly recorded in the general ledger.
11. PROCESSING INCOMING MAIL
All correspondence shall be forwarded to the appropriate department to open incoming
checks, sort, and enter them into the check log before forwarding to the appropriate staff
member for processing. A reconciliation of the check log should be performed on a regular
basis to ensure that all checks are being processed in the appropriate point of sale system,
and accounted for in deposits.
4 of 8
12. REPORTABLE LOSSES
Any instance of known or suspected loss or misappropriation of cash or checks shall be
reported to the Finance Director, Department Director, and Human Resources immediately.
In the event of a robbery or burglary, police authorities should be notified immediately along
with Human Resources and the City Manager.
13. RETURNED CHECKS
Upon receipt of a non-sufficient funds (NSF) check, the Finance Department will provide a
copy of the returned check to the appropriate department and request the original
transaction information to adjust the appropriate cash and revenue accounts to which the
monies were originally recorded. If the check was applied to an accounts receivable invoice,
a new invoice will be generated showing the amount unpaid. The Finance Department will
promptly notify the payer via a letter after the NSF check is received. The payer has ten
(10) business days after receipt of the letter to respond to the City. Payer must renegotiate
the payment with cash, cashier’s check, money order, or credit/debit card. All checks
returned by the bank for non-sufficient funds or other reasons may be subject to a returned
check fee as adopted in the Citywide fee schedule.
14. REFUNDS, VOIDS, AND CASH DISCREPANCIES
All refunds, voids, and cash discrepancies transactions are to be reviewed and authorized
by the employee’s supervisor - cash discrepancies occur where the physical cash holdings
differ to that specified by the cash receipting system.
Refunds are typically not permitted to be processed at locations which take payments and
handle cash. If a customer requires a refund, a request shall be submitted through the
Finance Department. All refunds and voided transactions shall have the following supporting
documentation:
a. Transaction date
b. Customer name, address, phone number, and signature
c. Original customer receipt
d. Reason for the refund or voided transaction
e. Amount and form of payment
f. Signature of cashier requesting the refund or void
g. Signature of supervisor approving the transaction
In the case of an overage or shortage, every effort should be made to locate amounts
causing the out of balance condition regardless of the amount. The employee and supervisor
must sign an over/short report with an indication of the reason, if known, for the difference.
15. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY
Finance may void and reissue old/stale dated checks in an effort to notify/pay vendors for
City checks that remain outstanding prior to one year. Unclaimed property is considered
unclaimed after a period of time that a check remains outstanding. The City shall follow
Escheatment and Unclaimed Property Procedures established in the Accounts Receivables
Write-Offs and Unclaimed Property Policy.
16. DISBURSEMENT OF CITY FUNDS
Electronic distribution, such as wire transfers, of funds will be initiated by the Finance
Department. Authority to transfer monies shall be properly documented and verified by the
5 of 8
Finance Department. All wire transfer requests must provide the following:
a. Wiring instructions from beneficiary
b. Wire transfer of funds document(s) properly completed and signed by the
employee requesting the wire transfer and the Department Director or
designee.
c. Backup documentation supporting the wire (invoice, purchase order number,
memo, City Council approval if applicable, etc.)
d. All wire transfers will require a dual-approval process whereby initiation and
approval of the wire will be completed by separate members of the finance
staff.
17. PETTY CASH FUNDS
The Purchasing and Contracting Policy of the City will establish a maximum size for petty
cash payments from the petty cash fund. Petty cash should be used as a convenient
method to pay small claims and is not intended for larger or frequent payments, which
should be paid through Accounts Payable. The petty cash fund must be kept in a safe or
locked cabinet under the control of the responsible person within the department. The
petty cash fund must at all times contain the authorized amount in cash and/or paid
vouchers. The fund may not be used for personal loans, cashing checks, or for salaries.
To replenish the petty cash fund, a Petty Cash Reimbursement Form must be completed.
The form would show persons reimbursed, the amounts, and account numbers to be
charged and signature of the cash disbursement. All receipts must be attached with
approvals from the signing authority for the account charged. Funds received from any
source must not be added to the petty cash fund, funds must be processed per the
procedures for the revenue collection site.
18. RECONCILIATION
Each business day, designated employee(s) shall ensure payments processed and
payments received are reconciled. Management shall review and approve the overall
daily cash receipt reconciliation to ensure all cash receipts are accounted for and match
to the daily cash deposit, prior to submission to the Finance Department.
19. AUDITS
The Finance Department conducts random audits at least twice a year at every location
which handles payments. The audits include verifying cash tills, change boxes, and petty
cash balances to the amounts allocated and recorded by the Finance Department.
20. CASH HANDLING POLICY REVIEW
The Finance Director shall review this Policy annually to ensure careful and responsible
management over City resources and if applicable recommend any changes to the City
Manager and City Council.
21. FEDERALLY FUNDED PROCUREMENTS
The following section outlines the allowable costs for grants, contracts, and sub-awards at
the City of La Quinta. The policy is justified by the requirement of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Title 2 Grants and Agreements, Part 200 Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, commonly
known as Uniform Grant Guidance (UGG). It provides the basic criteria to determine direct
6 of 8
allowable and indirect allocable costs on federally funded programs regardless of the
funding agency sponsoring the program. The City’s shall adhere to the UGG
Administrative Requirements as updated.
200.305 Payment
Generally, the City receives payments of federal award funds on a reimbursement
basis. In some cases, the City may receive an advance of federal grant funds.
a. Reimbursements
• The City will request reimbursement for actual expenditures incurred under
federal grants at least quarterly, or more often as deemed appropriate.
• Reimbursement requests will be submitted with appropriate documentation
and signed by the City’s designated representative. All reimbursements are
based on actual disbursements, not on obligations.
• The City will maintain supporting documentation of federal expenditures
(invoices, payroll records, etc.) and will make such documentation available
to awarding agencies upon request.
b. Advances
• When the City receives advance payments of federal grant funds, it must
minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United
States Treasury or the pass-through entity and the disbursement of those
funds on allowable costs of the applicable federal program. (2 CFR 200.305)
• To the extent available, the City will disburse funds available from program
income (including repayments to a revolving fund), rebates, refunds,
contract settlements, audit recoveries, and interest earned on such funds
before requesting additional cash payments. (2 CFR 200.305)
• The City will maintain advance payments of federal awards in insured,
interest-bearing accounts whenever not precluded by the Federal award
grant guidance or whenever the exceptions per 2 CFR 200.305(8) do not
apply. Interest amounts up to $500 per year may be retained by the City for
administrative expense. Any additional interest earned on Federal advance
payments deposited in interest-bearing accounts must be remitted annually
to the Department of Health and Human Services Payment Management
System (PMS) through an electronic medium using either Automated
Clearing House (ACH) network or a Fedwire Funds Service payment. [2 CFR
200.305(9)]
Allowable Costs
2 CFR, part 200, subpart E, Cost Principles identifies direct and indirect costs that can be
charged to federal awards; it also identifies those costs that cannot be charged to grant
agreements and that are considered unallowable expenses. The City adopts the five tests
provided by this regulation to determine the allowability of costs applied to federally
funded services:
a. Reasonability: For a cost to be considered reasonable, it must be necessary for
fulfillment of the grant objective; acquired by means consistent with federal and
state laws and regulations, and consistent with City policies and practices.
b. Allocability: A cost is allocable to a program if the goods/services involved are
charged in accordance with the relative benefits received by that program. To be
considered allocable, a cost must be incurred solely to advance the work under the
7 of 8
sponsored program or benefit both the sponsored program and other programs of
the City in proportions that can be approximated through use of the City cost
allocation methods not to exceed the limit imposed by the grant agreements.
c. Consistency: Similar costs are treated as direct or Facilities and Administration (F
& A) costs when incurred in like circumstances. Costs that are generally charged as
direct cost to a sponsored program should not be included as F&A costs on other
projects when incurred for the same purposes. Where the City treats a particular
type of cost as a direct cost of sponsored programs, all costs incurred for the same
purpose in like circumstances shall be treated as direct costs of all other activities
of the City.
d. Limitation: Cost must conform to any limitations or exclusions in the sponsored
agreement.
e. Documentation: Cost must be adequately documented.
Expenditures must be aligned with approved budgeted items. Any deviation from the
approved award budget will require prior approval from the awarding agency.
Allowability of costs will be determined prior to obligating and spending federal funds
on a proposed good or service. State and City rules or policy must also be considered.
Whichever allowability requirements are stricter will govern whether a cost is
allowable.
a. Except where otherwise authorized by statute, costs must meet the following
general criteria in order to be allowable under Federal awards per 2 CFR 200.403:
• Be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the Federal award and
be allocable thereto under these principles.
• Conform to any limitations or exclusions set forth in these principles or in the
Federal award as to types or amount of cost items.
• Be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both
federally financed and other activities of the City.
• Be accorded consistent treatment. A cost may not be assigned to a Federal
award as a direct cost if any other cost incurred for the same purpose in
like circumstances has been allocated to the Federal award as an indirect
cost.
• Not be included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing or matching
requirements of any other federally financed program in either the current
or a prior period. Also, reference § 200.306, Cost sharing or matching,
paragraph (b).
• Be adequately documented. Also, reference §§ 200.300, Statutory and
national policy requirements, through 200.309, Period of performance, of
200 CFR Part 200.
Direct Costs
Direct costs are those costs that can be identified specifically with a particular award,
costs that can be directly assigned to an activity with a high degree of accuracy will be
directly imputed to that activity. Identification with the grant rather than the nature of the
goods and services involved is the determining factor in distinguishing direct from indirect
F&A costs of grant agreements. Examples of some of the costs charged directly include:
a. Personnel salaries/fringe benefits
b. Capital expenditures
8 of 8
c. Software
d. Consultants
e. Equipment
f. Materials and supplies
Facilities and Administrative Costs (Indirect/Overhead Costs)
Costs incurred for common or joint objectives that cannot be identified specifically with a
sponsored program are treated as indirect costs. Examples of indirect costs include:
a. Utilities
b. Maintenance and operation
c. Building and equipment expenses
d. Administrative costs
Most grant agreements include a percentage of the direct cost to cover these charges
known as the Facilities and Administrative Cost Rate (F&A), refer to individual grant
agreement guideline for indirect cost rate.
Federal regulations limit instances where administrative costs can be charged directly to
grants and contracts. An exception may be made if there is extensive use of such
expenses, the expenses have been properly justified/documented in the grant/contract
proposal, and they have been approved as a direct cost by the appropriate federal
agency. Examples below list the types of expenses that are generally not allowable as a
direct cost:
a. Administrative and clerical salaries and wages
b. Printing and copying costs
c. Office supplies
d. Postage and mail
e. Telephone and internet
22. POLICY REVIEW
The Finance Director and administrators of federal funds shall review this Policy annually
and recommend any changes to the City Manager and City Council.
City of La Quinta
HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING: October 9, 2019
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT,
ACCESS EASEMENT, AND SALE OF PORTIONS OF REAL PROPERTY AT 46150-
46176 DUNE PALMS ROAD (APNs 600-030-022 AND -023) FROM THE LA QUINTA
HOUSING AUTHORITY TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA FOR FUTURE PARK AND
DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend approval of lot line adjustment, access easement, and sale of portions
of real property at 46150-46176 Dune Palms Road (APNs 600-030-022 and -023)
from the La Quinta Housing Authority to the City of La Quinta for $1,061,456
for future park and drainage improvements;
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The City of LA Quinta (City) seeks to acquire property from the La
Quinta Housing Authority (HA) for the La Quinta X Park and Citywide
Drainage Enhancement Projects (Projects).
• A lot line adjustment is proposed to accommodate the required space
for each of the Projects.
• An access easement is proposed to provide public ingress and egress to
the Projects and to the future affordable housing site.
• After review and receiving comment from the Housing Commission, the
Housing Authority will review the sale of the portion of the property
needed for the Projects, to implement the sale of the same and to
transfer funds to the Housing Authority.
• The funds the HA receives must be used for future affordable housing
projects or programs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The HA would receive $1,061,456, which would be deposited into the HA Sale
of Other Assets (account no. 241-9101-4500) and used to fund future
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 2
affordable housing projects. Capital Improvement Program funds will be used
for this acquisition. The access easement is proposed to have no associated
cost.
The purchase breakdown is as follows:
Land Acquisition Purchase Price
Parcel A – La Quinta X Park $633,144
Parcel B - Citywide Drainage Enhancement Project $428,312
TOTAL $1,061,456
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The La Quinta X Park project will construct an extreme sports facility consisting
of 31,000 sq. ft. of skate area, a pro-shop with restrooms and shade structure,
bowls and features for beginners, advanced, and professional users, and
includes a pump track feature surrounding two of the proposed retention
basins.
The Citywide Drainage Enhancements project will construct three retention
basins to accommodate the on-site drainage for the X Park and the remaining
Housing Authority property as well as the off-site drainage along Westward Ho
Drive.
The proposed lot line adjustment will provide the necessary parcel sizes for
the Projects. Parcel A (APN 600-030-022) encompasses 79,143 sq. ft. for the
future La Quinta X Park. Parcel B (APN 600-030-023) encompasses 53,539 sq.
ft. for the Citywide Drainage Enhancements Project. Parcel C (APN 600-030-
024) will remain Housing Authority owned and encompasses 121,551 sq. ft. A
no cost public access easement from Parcel C is also necessary to provide
driveway ingress and egress to the Projects and to the future affordable
housing site.
The former La Quinta Redevelopment Agency (RDA) acquired the land in 2007
to eliminate blight and develop an affordable housing project. The affordable
housing project was stalled due to the elimination of the RDA, and the Authority
has held onto the property pending future development. The City is offering the
HA the fair market value of $1,061,456 (Attachment 1) for the properties. The
HA intends to develop the remainder of the property with an affordable housing
project.
The sale proceeds must be used for affordable housing; State law allows for the
sale of affordable housing property provided that the proceeds are used for
affordable housing.
ALTERNATIVE
The City Council could determine to not approve the transaction, which would
result in the Projects not being constructed.

cost and expense, obtain a current survey of the Property (a “Survey”). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to remove all monetary encumbrances against the
Property excluding non-delinquent real property taxes. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any
objections Buyer may have to title exceptions contained in the Preliminary Title Report or matters
shown on the Survey (if Buyer has obtained) no later than the date which is twenty-one (21) days
after the later of (i) its receipt of the Preliminary Title Report or (ii) its receipt of the S urvey
(“Buyer’s Objection Notice”). Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the matters set forth in the
Preliminary Title Report (and the Survey, if applicable) may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s
sole and absolute discretion. Buyer’s failure to provide Seller with a Buyer’s Objection Notice
within said period shall constitute Buyer’s approval of all exceptions to title shown on the
Preliminary Title Report and all matters shown on the Survey (if Buyer has obtained). Seller shall
have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer’s Objection Notice in which to deliver written
notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Notice”) of Seller’s election to either (i) agree to remove the
objectionable items on the Preliminary Title Report or Survey prior to the Close of Escrow, or (ii)
decline to remove any such title exceptions or Survey matters and terminate Escrow and the
obligations of Buyer and Seller to purchase and sell the Property under this Agreement, in which
event the provisions of Section 10.3 below shall apply. Seller’s failure to provide Buyer with
Seller’s Notice within said period shall constitute Seller’s election to remove the objectionable
items on the Preliminary Title Report. If Seller notifies Buyer of its election to terminate rather
than remove the objectionable items on the Preliminary Title Report or Survey, Buyer shall have
the right, by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s
Notice, to agree to accept the Property subject to the objectionable items, in which event Seller ’s
election to terminate shall be of no effect, and Buyer shall take title at the Close of Escrow subject
to such objectionable items without any adjustment to or credit against the Purchase Price. All
exceptions to title shown on the Preliminary Title Report, other than those which Seller may agree
to remove pursuant to this Section 4, shall be deemed to have been approved by Buyer unless
Seller is notified otherwise in writing.
Upon the issuance of any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report
which adds additional exceptions, including any survey exceptions, the foregoing right of review
and approval shall also apply to said amendment or supplement. The process set forth above for
Buyer’s review and Seller’s response shall apply to any review and response with respect to any
amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report, and the Closing shall be extended for
such period as is necessary to allow for that review and response process to be completed.

5. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Beginning on the Effective Date up to and including the Closing
Date, Seller grants Buyer, its agents, contractors, employees, and representatives, the right to enter
into and upon the Property at reasonable times for the purposes related to Buyer’s inspection and
proposed acquisition of the Property. Buyer shall not disturb the physical condition of the
Property, or do any intrusive testing of the Property without the prior written consent of Seller,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any costs, expenses, or charges
incurred or related to Buyer’s activities under this right of entry shall be at the sole cost and expense
of Buyer and at no cost and expense to Seller. Buyer shall, at its own cost and expense entirely,
repair any damage to the Property resulting from any such entry and shall restore the Property to
its condition prior to such entry. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the
Property harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, liens, actions, judgments, costs, expense, or
charges (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or connected or
related in any way to the right of entry granted under this Agreement.
6. CLOSE OF ESCROW.

Agreement precedent to the “Close of Escrow” (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 10
below have been satisfied (or waived by the appropriate party) prior to or on the Closing Date, the
Closing of this transaction for the sale and purchase of the Property shall take place on or before
October 31, 2019 (“Outside Closing Date”). The terms “Close of Escrow”, “Closing Date” and
the “Closing” are used herein to mean the time Seller’s grant deed conveying fee title to the
Property to Buyer is recorded in the Official Records of the Office of the County Recorder of
Riverside (“Official Records”). If Escrow is not in a condition to close by the Outside Closing
Date, either party not then in default hereunder may, upon five (5) days advance written notice to
the other party and Escrow Holder, elect to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow. No such
termination shall release either party then in default from liability for such default. If neither party
so elects to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, Escrow Holder shall close the Escrow as
soon as possible.
6.2 Recordation; Release of Funds and Documents.
6.2.1 Escrow Holder is directed, on the Closing Date, to record in the Official
Records, the following documents in the order listed: (i) the grant deed (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit “C”) transferring title to the Property to Buyer (“Grant Deed”); and (ii) such
other and further documents as may be directed jointly by Buyer and Seller.

Seller, less any amount to Closing costs, and (ii) conformed copies of all recorded documents to
both Buyer and Seller.

7101504.1 a10/03/19 -4-

Exceptions (defined hereafter);
(b) all other funds, items, and instruments required from Seller (executed and
acknowledged where appropriate) as may be reasonably necessary in order for the Escrow Holder
to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and consummate the transaction.
8. TITLE INSURANCE POLICY.
8.1 Title Policy. At the Closing Date, the Title Company, as insurer, shall issue a
CLTA owner’s standard coverage policy of title insurance (“Title Policy”), in favor of Buyer, as
insured, for the Property, with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the
following (the “Permitted Exceptions”):
(a) covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations of record that do not
interfere with the Buyer’s proposed use of the Property, as determined in the sole and absolute
discretion of Buyer;
(b) easements or rights-of-way over the Property for public or quasi-public
utility or public street purposes;
(c) title exceptions approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to
Section 4 above;
(d) any other exceptions approved by Buyer; and

standard owner’s policy of title insurance regularly issued by the Title Company.
8.2 Payment for Title Policy. Seller shall be responsible for the charges for the Title
Policy with coverage up to the amount of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay any additional
amount charged by Title Company for any additional coverage or endorsements it requests. In
connection therewith, Buyer may, at its election, request an ALTA extended policy of title
insurance and Buyer shall pay for the incremental cost of the extended coverage above and beyond
the standard coverage. Buyer shall pay for the Survey, if obtained.
