Re: Glenfed Slope Warranty Agreement -
Amendment No. 1
Dear Mr. Shaw:
I have just received from Ms. Hanover, the City Clerk,
executed copies of the Amendment to the Slope Warranty
Agreement. Apparently, these crossed in the mail with the
executed originals I mailed to you on February 19, 1988. I had
added to the recitals the recording date for the Slope Warranty
Agreement to assist the title company in locating the document
for future title reports.
I have made the same change on the enclosed originals,
so that the last clause of Recital A includes the recording
information.
After Ms. Hanover has had the amendment recorded, kindly
return a copy to me bearing the recorder's stamp and instrument
f� number.
John R. Shaw, Esq.
February 26, 1988

C. On December 3, 1985, the City Council of the City
of San Juan Capistrano ( "Council" ) passed, approved and adopted
Resolution No. 85-12-3-5, approving Tentative Tract Map 12423 ,
Parcel E Area Plan, and composite development plans. Pursuant to
the Parcel E Area Plan and composite development plans, Glenfed
proposed to subdivide approximately 55 acres of land located in
the Glendale Federal planned community (Lomas San Juan) into
residential and common lots to provide for the construction of
267 attached dwelling units.
D. The Council approved Tentative Tract Map 12423 , the
Parcel E Area Plan, and accompanying preliminary grading,
landscape, and architectural plans , subject to certain condi-
tions, including:
1 . Home Warranty: The provisions of
Chapter 8-6 of the Municipal Code (Home
Warranty Ordinance) shall apply to any person,
firm or corporation selling or offering for
sale within the project three or more dwelling
units - not previously occupied for residen-
tial purposes - during any 12-month
period.
3 . Soils Subsidence Insurance: The devel-
oper shall participate in a program to insure
against damage from soils subsidence. Prior
to the issuance of a grading permit for work
within Parcel E, the developer shall enter
into a program of soils subsidence insurance
as established by the City. The insurance
elements shall include, but not be limited to
named insureds, coverage, deductibles, and
premiums . Once the insurance program has been

put in placed (sic) by the City, the developer
shall have the right to show cause within ten
calendar days to the City Council why any part
of the insurance program is not feasible. The
Planning Commission and City Council shall
review the insurance program prior to its
implementation within this project.
E. On December 3 , 1985, the City Council of the City
of San Juan Capistrano passed, approved and adopted Resolution
No. 85-12-3-6, approving Tentative Tract Map 12262, Parcel F Area
Plan, and composite development plans.
F. Pursuant to the Parcel F Area Plan and composite
development plans, Glenfed proposed to subdivide approximately 93
acres of land located in the Glendale Federal planned community
(Lomas San Juan) into residential and common lots to provide for
the construction of 196 detached and 40 attached dwelling units .
G. The Council approved Tentative Tract Map 12262 , the
Parcel F Area Plan, and accompanying preliminary grading,
landscape, and architectural plans, subject to certain condi-
tions, including:
1. Home Warranty: The provisions of Chapter
8-6 of the Mu icipal Code (Home Warranty
Ordinance) shall apply to any person, firm or
corporation selling or offering for sale
within the project three or more dwelling

dential purposes - during any 12-month

3 . Soils Subsidence Insurance: The developer
shall participate in a program to insure
against damage from soils subsidence. Prior
to the issuance of a grading permit for work
within Parcel F, the developer shall enter

as established by the City. The insurance
elements shall include, but not be limited to
named insureds, coverage, deductibles, and
premiums. Once the insurance program has been
put in placed (sic) by the City, the developer
shall have the right to show cause within ten
calendar days to the City Council why any part
of the insurance program is not feasible. The
Planning Commission and City Council shall
review any proposed insurance program prior to
its implementation within this project.
H. Thereafter , it was determined that the proposed
insurance program was not feasible due to unavailability and/or
excessive cost of the contemplated soils subsidence insurance.
I . In February, 1986 , Glenfed filed grading plans and
geotechnical reports with the Department of Community Planning
and Development of the City, and made application for grading and
on-site improvement permits. The plans and reports were reviewed
by the Planning and Building and Safety Divisions of the City to
verify compliance with all applicable codes and conditions of
approval . The geotechnical aspects of the project were reviewed
by the City' s geotechnical consultant.
J. On May 20, 1986, the Council accepted the Develop-
ment Agreement for On-Site and Off-Site Grading, Improvements,
-4-
• 87-5851
Landscaping and Irrigation ( "Development Agreement" ) for Parcels
E and F. The Development Agreement provides , in pertinent part :
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the
Developer shall submit to the City a plan for
providing a soil subsidence insurance program
and shall demonstrate that such a program will
be in place and operational within ninety ( 90 )
calendar days after issuance of Grading Permit
No. 603G. (Development Agreement at Para-
graph 3(D) . )
K. On May 20, 1986, the Council passed, approved and
adopted Resolution No. 86-5-20-7 , amending Resolutions 85-12-3-5
and 85-12-3-6, so that Conditions 3 of the referenced resolutions
were amended to read as follows :
The developer shall participate in a program
to insure against damage from soil subsi-
dence. Within 90 days from date of issuance
of grading permits for the work provided for
the subject parcel (sic) , the developer shall
enter unto a program of soil subsidence
insurance established by the City. The
insurance elements shall" include, but not be
limited to named insureds, coverage( , )
deductibles, and .premiums. In the event that
insurance is not available, the developer
shall provide an alternative form of security
as required by the City. Once the City has
formulated an insurance or other viable
security option, the developer shall have the
right to show cause within ten calendar days
to the City Council why any part of the
insurance program is not feasible. The
Planning Commission and City Council shall
-5-

review the insurance program prior to its
implementation within this project .
L. By this Agreement, Glenfed will satisfy in full
Conditions 3 of the referenced resolutions, as amended by
Resolution No. 86-5-2Q-7
M. On May 3, 1983, the Council passed, approved and
adopted Ordinance No. 486 of the City of San Juan Capistrano
adopting a new Chapter 6, Title 8-Home Warranty Program.
Ordinance No. 486 requires every seller, as defined, of dwelling
units, as defined, within the City to warrant in writing to the

tion defects, all as defined in the Ordinance.
N. Ordinance No. 486 further requires the seller to
deposit "financial security for the warranties" required by the
Ordinance in an amount which shall be the equivalent of one

-6-
87-585#1
The security shall be in such form and manner
as to guarantee and secure the performance of
the seller under the terms of such warranties
and shall consist of one of the following, at
the option of the seller and with the approval
of the City:
(a) Bond or bonds by one or more duly
authorized corporate sureties.
(b) A deposit , either with the City or a
responsible escrow agent or trust
company, of money or negotiable bonds of
the kind approved for securing deposits
of public moneys; or
(c) An instrument of credit, from one or
more financial institutions subject to
regulation by the state or federal
government, pledging that the funds
necessary to carry out the warranty are
on deposit and guaranteed for payment .
P. By this agreement, Glendale will satisfy its
obligations under Ordinance No. 486 with respect to financial
security, as required by Section 8-6 . 04 of the Municipal Code of

AGREEMENT
1. Slope Displacement Warranty.
1 . 1 Warranty. Glenfed warrants for a period of
ten years after the date of final grading approval for each tract
within Parcels E and F, the manufactured slopes within each such
tract against slope displacement, as defined herein.
-7-
• 8T-58�(3I
1 . 2 Definition. "Slope Displacement" is defined
as (a) displacement of soil on a manufactured slope at a depth of
two feet or more with vertical movement of one foot or more,
regardless of cause, and regardless of the square footage
involved, or (b) displacement of soil on a manufactured slope
with vertical movement of one foot or more and involving an area
of at least 900 square feet, regardless of depth and regardless
of cause.
1 .3 Exclusions. Slope Displacement does not
include:
1 . 3 .1 Surface cracking and fissures, including
without limitation dessication cracks .
1 . 3 . 2 Erosion, defined as the wearing away of
the surface of the slope, as opposed to movement of the slope,
resulting from the force of water, wind, persons or vehicles
moving over the surface, unless erosion ultimately results in
Slope Displacement .
1 . 4 Reserved Rights. Glenfed reserves the right
to assert claims against any person or entity responsible in
whole or in part for displacement of soil on the slopes, whether
covered by this definition or not . This Agreement also reserves
the right of the homeowners associations for tracts within
Parcels E and F to assert claims against any person or entity,
including without limitation Glenfed, responsible in whole or in
-8-
87-5811
part for displacement of soil, whether covered by this definition
or not . These reserved rights are subject to any applicable
statutes of limitation, including without limitation the ten-year
limitations period provided by California Code of Civil Procedure
337. 15 .
1 . 5 Covered Repairs. During the first five years
of the warranty program, Glenfed will make or cause to be made
all repairs to correct Slope Displacement . These repairs will be
made at Glenfed ' s sole expense. After the end of the fifth year
of the warranty program, repairs for Slope Displacement will be
financed out of the Homeowner Assessment Fund, defined below. If
the amount in the Homeowner Assessment Fund is insufficient to
cover the cost of such repairs, Glenfed 's contributions to the
slope warranty program will be available to fund covered repair
work. Once Glenfed has recovered all of its funding, as provided
herein, the sole source of financing for covered repairs will be
the Homeowner Assessment Fund.
1 . 6 Penalty. If, during the first five years of
the warranty, Glenfed (or its successor ) fails to make reasonably
necessary covered repairs, the City Attorney will provide written
notice to Glenfed of such failure and provide Glenfed with an
opportunity to cure. "Cure" will be defined as commencement of
reasonably necessary covered repairs by or on behalf of Glenfed
(or its successor ) within 15 calendar days of receipt by Glenfed
-9-
(or its successor ) of the notice. If Glenfed (or its successor )
fails to commence performance of such repair work within fifteen
( 15) calendar days of Glenfed' s (or its successor ' s) receipt of
written notice of the condition as to which the repair work is to
be performed, from the City Attorney, then the Council may, by
resolution or other official Council action, after a noticed
public hearing, authorize the Director of Planning and Community
Development ( "Director" ) to apply monies from Glenfed 's
Contribution, as defined herein, to perform such work as is
reasonably necessary to remedy the condition as to which the
repair work is to be performed ( the "Authorized Monies" ) .
Glenfed ' s Contribution will be vested in a Glendale Federal
Savings account such that the Director can access the funds after
such Council action and any judicial reference regarding such
action, pursuant to Section 1.8, below.
1 . 7 Public Hearing. Glenfed (or its successor)
will be entitled to reasonable notice of such public hearing,
will have the right to appear at the hearing where the Council
action is considered, and will be entitled to assert any and all
defenses which Glenfed (or its successor ) may possess as to such
Council action, including without limitation a claim that the
work proposed to be performed is not within the scope of
Glenfed' s obligations under this Agreement or is not reasonably
necessary.
-10-
87-58* 1
1 . 8 Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute
between the City and Glenfed (or its successor ) involving any
aspect of the penalty provided for herein, including without
limitation the propriety of the Council action provided for
herein, such dispute shall be resolved by a judicial reference
pursuant to Section 3.8, below.
1. 9 Deemed Reduction In Glenfed' s Contribution.
Glenfed agrees and acknowledges that if such Council action is
taken properly, pursuant to this Agreement and under the laws of
the State of California, then as a penalty for the nonperformance
by Glenfed (or its successor) , Glenfed's Contribution will be
deemed ( for purposes of the timing of recovery of Glenfed' s
Contribution only) to have been reduced by an amount equal to the
amount of the Authorized Monies . Under those circumstances,
Glenfed' s recovery of its funding from the program will be
delayed until the homeowner assessments build sufficiently to
compensate for the deemed reduction in Glenfed' s Contribution.
2 . Funding for the Warranty Program. Glenfed' s total
contribution to the homeowner warranty program and to the slope
warranty program shall be $750,000.00, with $400,000. 00 allocated
to the slope warranty program, as provided herein, and the
remaining approximately $350, 000. 00 allocated to the homeowner
warranty program, as provided herein. Total funding for the
slope warranty program will be $900 ,000, consisting of a total
-11-
87-58580!
contribution by Glenfed of $400,000 ( "Glenfed' s Contribution" )
plus $500, 000 in anticipated homeowner assessments and interest
thereon. The homeowner assessments and interest thereon shall be
referred to as the "Homeowner Assessment Fund. " Glenfed' s
$400,000 will be contributed as follows: $250, 000 contributed
immediately upon final grading approval and $150,000 in phased
contributions as escrows on lots close, pursuant to the
regulations of the California Department of Real Estate. The
homeowner assessments will commence on a per-lot basis as escrows
for the lots close, consistent with the regulations of the
California Department of Real Estate.
2 . 1 Credit . The $250, 000 initial contribution by
Glenfed will be deemed to be a credit against Glenfed' s
contributions for the Homeowner Warranty Accounts for the last
residences in the tracts, rather than the first .
2 . 2 Allocation. The remaining $350,000 of
Glenfed' s total contribution of $750, 000 will be allocated to the
homeowner warranty program. Glenfed will satisfy its obligations
under Section 8-6. 04 of the Municipal Code by opening a passbook
savings account for each lot within Parcels E and F upon the
close of each escrow in an amount equal to one percent ( 1% ) of
the valuation used to determine the building permit fee for each
lot (the "Homeowner Warranty Accounts" ) . Monies in each of the
Homeowner Warranty Accounts will remain there for the duration of
-12-
87-585801
the homeowner warranty period, then be returned to Glenfed,
unless such monies are applied pursuant to the terms of Ordinance
No. 486.
2.3 Recovery of Glenfed' s Contribution. Glenfed
will begin recovering its funding for the slope warranty program
commencing at the end of the three-year homeowner warranty
period, when homes begin rolling out of the homeowner warranty
program. Glenfed' s total contribution of approximately $750 ,000
will over time be reduced to $400,000, which amount will remain
in the slope warranty program, subject to Section 2. 4 .
2.4 When the amount in the Homeowner Assessment
Fund reaches $500,000 , Glenfed will begin reduction of its
remaining $400,000 contribution. All of Glenfed' s Contribution
to the slope warranty program will be returned to Glenfed when
the amount of homeowner assessments plus interest reaches
$900,000 or at the end of year 10 whichever is earlier .
2.5 Replenishment of Fund at the End of Year 10 .
If the amount in the Homeowner Assessment Fund is less than
$500,000 at the end of year 10, Glenfed will replenish the
funding to $500,000 at that time.
2.6 Interest . Glenfed will retain all interest on
its $400,000 contribution. The interest on the homeowner
assessments will remain in the Homeowner Assessment Fund.
-13-
8 -58580 1
2 . 7 Funds Placed in Glendale Federal Savings &
Loan Association. All of Glenfed ' s contributions to the slope
warranty program and the homeowner warranty program will be
maintained in Glendale Federal Savings passbook accounts . The
Homeowner Assessment Fund also will be maintained in Glendale
Federal Savings passbook accounts . However , the homeowners
associations will be permitted to move the Homeowner Assessment
Fund to another institution at their option after the homeowners
take control of the associations and Glenfed' s control of the
associations has ceased, pursuant to the regulations of the
California Department of Real Estate.
3. Miscellaneous.
3 .1 The warranty provided herein will apply only
to manufactured slope areas within the boundaries of the final
tracts within Parcels E and F, prepared by or on behalf of
Glenfed. The warranty expressly excludes slope displacement or
any other soils movement or failure of slopes, regardless of
cause, on or from the ridgeline area.
3 . 2 Appropriate provisions in the CC&Rs and in the
deeds will grant Glenfed an exclusive license and right to enter

its agents can maintain and inspect all landscaping, irrigation
and drainage devices , and all other natural and artificial
-14-
87#85801
conditions which affect or might affect the integrity of the
slopes which are the subject of the warranty.
3 . 3 Glenfed will in its sole discretion determine
the scope of repair work under this Agreement and will direct the
work. Such work will be performed by an entity selected by
Glenfed and compensated during the first five years of the slope
warranty by Glenfed and during years six through ten of the slope
warranty from the Homeowner Assessment Fund.
3 . 4 Any proposed alterations by homeowners to
the landscaping, grading, irrigation or drainage on their
individually-owned property will be subject to review by the
board of the appropriate homeowners associations.
3 . 5 In years six through ten of the warranty, an
independent claims adjusting service, selected by Glenfed and the
City and compensated from the Homeowner Assessment Fund, will
adjust all claims for work which are claimed to be within the
coverage of the warranty. Claims asserted to be within the
coverage of the warranty will be processed by forms provided by
the board of the homeowners associations and filed with the
independent adjuster, who will promptly adjust such claims after
obtaining from Glenfed an analysis of the scope and cost of
necessary repair work.
3 . 6 Individual purchaser deeds and the CC&Rs will
reference the slope warranty provided herein.
-15-
� 87�858D I

documentation as is reasonably necessary to effectuate the
purposes of this Agreement .

AGENDA ITEM: January 5, 1987
TO: Stephen B. Julian, City Manager
FROM: John I2. Shaw, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Glendale Federal Slope Warranty Program/Wrap-up Documents
SITUATION:
Attached are two wrap-up documents relating to the Glendale Federal Slope Warranty
program. These consist of a "Security Agreement" and "Amendatory Agreement" to the
earlier slope warranty agreement approved by the City Council.
By way of background, the City Council, on September 1, 1987, approved the slope
warranty program which is embodied in an agreement between GlenFed and City. Since
the approval of that agreement, GlenFed has filed CC&Rs approved by this office which
fully implement the slope warranty program as set forth in the underlying agreement.
Recently, GlenFed filed documents evidencing the creation of a slope "warranting fund"
consisting of the initial deposit of $250,000. Thus, the initial funding mechanism for
slope displacement is now in place.
The attached Security Agreement in essence provides that City has the right to access
the slope warranty fund monies in the event of an occurrence and failure to repair
damages by GlenFed. The Security Agreement will act in much the same way that a
letter of credit would operate. The Security Agreement is fully consistent with the
underlying slope agreement and the CC&Rs for the project.
The second agreement referred to as the "Agreement No. 1" provides that the slope
warranty program shall not invalidate the lien of any mortgage affecting the property
covered under the slope agreement. This is only a technical change requested by
GlenFed which will not adversely affect the operation of the slope fund.

2. REVISED COMMISSIONER HANDBOOK (110.10)
Written Communications:
Report dated September 1, 1987, from the Assistant City Manager, forwarding a
revised Commissioner Handbook for review and comment. The report set forth
highlights of the Handbook and advised that the book was intended to be an
orientation and reference resource for commissioners. Comments will be
incorporated into the final draft, which was tentatively scheduled for adoption at
the September 15th meeting. The report further advised that staff was developing a
one-day training program which would discuss short- and long-term plans and goals
and stress positive communications. The proposed training program will be
scheduled for Council review in the near future.
Council concurred with Councilman Friess' suggestion for inclusion of a follow-up
review to assure an understanding of the topics presented in the Commissioner
Handbook. The Assistant City Manager was commended for the quality of the
Handbook.
CITY ATTORNEY
1. SLOPE DISPLACEMENT WARRANTY PROGRAM AGREEMENT
7 TRACT 12423 GLENDALE FEDERAL 600.30
Written Communications:
Report dated September 1, 1987, from the City Attorney, forwarding an agreement
which would implement the slope displacement warranty program required as a
condition of approval of the Glenfed Tract 12423. The program provides for a
source of funds to pay for damages occurring because of soil subsidence. The
warranty will be effective for a period of ten years after the date of final grading
approval for each tract within Parcels E and F. Funds in the amount of $750,000
will be deposited by Glenfed over a phased period within the 10-year program;
$400,000 will be allocated to the slope warranty program and $350,000 will be
allocated to the home warranty program. Additionally, funding will be deposited
through monthly contributions from lot owners over the 10-year period to total
$500,000. Total funding of the slope warranty, program will be $900,000. The City's
Home Warranty requirements were incorporated into the agreement. Due to the
requirement that Glenfed deposit 1% of improvements into the slope displacement
warranty program, the existing Home Warranty Program requirement will be waived.
The City Attorney discussed the proposed funding mechanism. He noted that the
program will be implemented through the CC&R's and the White Paper Report.
Ross Willard, Glenfed Development, advised that each homeowner would be required
to sign as having read the White Paper Report, which would contain information
about the program. He stated that there were no plans to post notices in the sales
offices. Fie further advised that the monthly homeowner assessment for the
program was estimated at $20.

Councilman Hausdorfer cited concerns regarding notification of home buyers. He
noted Glenfed's request that the City enact an ordinance requiring all significant
hillside development to be subject to the same type of requirements imposed through
this agreement. He stated concerns that the City not be committed to the program
on a permanent basis in the event that it cannot be legally imposed or that it does
not ultimately meet the City's needs. He cited additional concerns regarding long-
term management of the program. Discussion ensued regarding additional
notification and management of the funds. Mr. Willard stated there would be no
problem with an additional notice as part of the escrow package.
Approval of Slope Displacement Warranty Agreement:
It was moved by Councilman Friess, seconded by Councilman Schwartze and
unanimously carried to approve the agreement between the City, Glenfed and
Glendale Federal which establishes the Slope Displacement Warranty Program, with
the addition of a mutually-agreed upon form of homeowner notification regarding
the Program and the monthly assessment. The Mayor and City Clerk were
authorized to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

AGENDA ITEM: September 1, 1987
TO: Stephen B. Julian, City Manager
FROM: John R. Shaw, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Glenfed Soils Warranty Agreement
SITUATION:
After many months of negotiations, staff, the City Council subcommittee, and Glenfed
have reached a basic agreement on a methodology to implement the soils warranty
program required of Glenfed in its subdivision approval for subdivision tract 12423. This
subdivsion consists of approximately 500 homes. The following is a brief overview of the
key provisions of the tentative agreement between the City, Glenfed, and Glendale
Federal Savings & Loan Association which agreement is attached for Council
consideration.
1. Nature of Soils Warranty Program.
The agreement calls for a soils warranty program which in essence provides that
there shall be a source of funds to pay for damages occurring because of soil
subsidence. The type of damages covered under the program are specifically
defined in Paragraph 1 of the agreement. The definition is:
"1.2 Definition. 'Slope Displacement' is defined as (a) dis-
placement of soil on a manufactured slope at a depth of two
feet or more with vertical movement of one foot or more,
regardless of cause of cause, and regardless of the square
footage involved, or (b) displacement of soil on a
manufactured slope with vertical movement of one foot or
more and involving an area of a least 900 square feet,
regardless of depth and regardless of cause."
2. Soils Warranty Funding Mechanism.
The agreement calls for funding to consist of two components. The first
component is funding directly from Glenfed in the amount of $750,000 which shall
be deposited over a phased period within the 10 year program. The second
component of funding will come from monthly contributions from lot owners over
the 10 year period. More specifically, Glenfed will immediately post $250,000
cash. The $250,000 shall be rapidly supplemented up to a total amount of $750,000,
and this funding shall come from home warranty payments on each house as they
are sold by Glenfed. It is anticipated that the total amount contributed by Glenfed
shall rise to $750,000 over a 3 to 7 year period. The reason for this approach is
that Glenfed has offered to undertake this mechanism as a substitute for the City's
existing home warranty program. As you will recall, the home warranty program
requires each developer to pay 1% of the value of the improvements to a home
warranty account. Under the agreement with Glenfed, this requirement would be
waived by Glenfed paying 1 f improvements into the soils warranty program.

Agenda Item: Glenfed Soils Warranty Agreement
September 1, 1987
Page Two
(In the agreement, Glenfed will promise to take care of any defective workmanship
problems that occur after the first 3 years of construction). Thus, what we are
doing is having Glenfed provide this new funding mechanism for soils warranty
protection in place of the 3 year home warranty proram found in the Municipal
Code.
It is also provided that lot owners will begin contributing monthly assessments
toward the soils warranty account. As this fund begins to build up, namely to a
level of $500,000, Glenfed would be able, at the end of the 10 year warranty
program, to recover its $750,000 funding. (See Para. 2).
3. Program Protection in the Event of Occurrence.
Should damage occur within the project, the agreement provides built in protection
for repair of the damage without argument over causation or fault. Should an
event occur during the first 5 years, Glenfed would have to pay for the damage out
of its own pocket without resorting to the soils warranty account. In the event of
damage between years 6 and 10, the soils warranty account itself would be
responsible for repair of the damage. Should the cost of repairs exceed the amount
of the fund, Glenfed would be responsible for the difference. (See Para. 1.5).
4. Written Warranty.
The agreement requires that Glenfed and Glendale Federal execute a written
warranty in favor of purchasers of the property, guaranteeing the workmanship of
the slopes (See Para. 1.0.
5. Funds Held by Glendale Federal.
The initial seed funding and monthly assessments shall be deposited directly with
Glendale Federal. In the case of the homeowner assessments, those funds can be
moved to an independent account once the homeowners board is controlled by
individual lot owners (See Para. 2.7).
6. Claims Adjusting.
In the event of an occurrence in years 6 through 10, Glenfed and the City shall
select a claims adjuster who will handle all aspects of adjusting the amount of the
claim. (See Para. 3.5).
7. Soils Warranty Ordinance.
At Paragraph 3.10, Glenfed has requested that the City enact an ordinance
requiring all significant hillside development to be subject to the same type of
requirements now imposed through this agreement. Staff has indicated to Glenfed
that we have no general objections to this. This office has already prepared such
an ordinance which will be submitted to Council for consideration at the second
meeting in September. (See Para. 3.10).

Finally, it is noted that the CC&Rs for the Glenfed project will incorporate and add to
the key provisions of this agreement so as to make the program fully operational. This
office will closely review the CC&Rs once they are submitted by Glenfed to the City.
