The party preference, if any, designated by a candidate for a voter -nominated office is selected by the candidate and is shown for the information of the voters only. It does not imply that the candidate is nominated or endorsed by the party or that the party approves of the candidate. The party preference, if any, of a candidate for a nonpartisan office does not appear on the ballot.

As your Supervisor, I've dedicated myself to expanding affordable healthcare for all, creating local jobs, improving parks, upgrading Veterans' services, increasing the minimum wage, and making our neighborhoods safer.

To tackle the homelessness crisis, I supported Measure H and allocated over $15 million for affordable rental housing assistance, case management, and essential services for vulnerable populations.

The current Claremont Police Station is 45 years old. It was designed for an all-male police department that was half the size of Claremont's current department. Built in the 1970's, the Station does not comply with modern building standards, and its jail facility is at risk of decertification (in which case, the City could not use it as a jail anymore). The general obligation bonds would fund a new Police Station that would be located on the same site as the current Police Station. The proposed Station would be larger (approximately 26,000 square feet), it would serve a co-ed police department, and it would comply with modern building standards and regulations for jails. In addition, the proposed Station would be more energy efficient, would be accessible to people with disabilities, and would have electrical and mechanical systems that can better meet the demands of today's advanced computer and communication systems. The Claremont City Council placed this measure on the ballot. This measure approves funding for a new Police Station, but it does not commit the City to a particular building design. If this measure is approved, the City will evaluate design options for the building through a public process. Financial Implications The City would pay the debt service on the general obligation bonds through an ad valorem tax that it would impose on all taxable real property in the City of Claremont. The maximum tax rate would be $30.33 per $100,000 of assessed valuation. The City estimates that, the year after it issues the first bonds, the estimated debt service would require a tax rate of $26.41 per $100,000 of assessed valuation. To illustrate, the estimated annual tax for a home with an assessed valuation of $500,000 would be $132.05 the first year after bonds are issued. The City expects this rate to decrease each year (assuming one bond series) with the average tax rate being approximately $24.47 per $100,000 of assessed valuation over the 25 -year issue. California law requires an affirmative two-thirds vote to impose the tax and issue the bonds. (Continued on next page) LA 031-035 M00005453E-1 CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE SC (Continued) A "yes" vote on Measure SC is a vote in favor of issuing the bonds and imposing an ad valorem tax for a new police facility. A "no" vote on Measure SC would disapprove the issuance of bonds and imposition of an ad valorem tax for a new police facility. Dated: March 14, 2018 ALISHA PATTERSON City Attorney The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure SC. If you desire a copy of the measure, please call the elections official's office at (909) 399-5461 and a copy will be mailed at no cost to you. LA 031-036 M00005453E-2 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE SC Claremont's current Police Station is failing. It fails to meet current building codes. It fails to meet accessibility requirements for the disabled. It fails to meet state Department of Corrections' jail standards. It fails to meet technological demands of a modern 24/7 police force. It fails to provide adequate and equal facilities for female officers. It will fail in a major earthquake or other disaster. And most importantly, it fails to meet the high standard of safety our community deserves. Our community needs a station that is not failing, and will not fail us in a disaster. We need a station that serves the emergency needs of our residents, businesses, and visitors. For more than two years, a 15 member citizen committee scrutinized every aspect of the station. They differentiated between "needs "&"wants" and agreed upon a functional, efficient, and reasonable station at the existing location. The committee established a cost not to exceed $25 million, and selected a General Obligation Bond as the fair and equitable financing option. While not everyone will agree on the details of the proposed facility, what we can agree on is the fact that we can no longer postpone the building of a new station. Patching is no longer an option. Are we willing to risk a costly lawsuit or the closure of the station for violations and non-compliance with state and federal requirements or pay a higher cost to build after a disaster? The time is now to replace the inadequate and unsafe station with a new building that reflects Claremont's commitment to safety. That safety depends on your vote! Please vote YES on Measure SC. OPANYI K. NASIALI Mayor, City of Claremont BUTCH HENDERSON Senior Pastor Emeritus, Claremont United Church of Christ JULIE PEDROZA Community Volunteer PAUL S. WHEELER Claremont Businessman, Architect BETTY CROCKER Professor, Neighborhood Watch Organizer LA 031-037 M00005453E-3 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE SC While many supporters of Measure SC question the size of the proposed station, even more question the financing and its cost to the community. This general obligation bond costs residential property owners more than $5,000,000 EXTRA over 25 years than an alternative rejected by the city council. The alternative would automatically have included the colleges and non -profits rather than exempting them, and required a fairer contribution from businesses—where police calls have been increasing lately according to a recent police report to council. Instead, the City of Claremont has entered into protracted negotiations with the Colleges over a possible contribution. As this rebuttal is being written (in late March), no amount has been offered by the schools. Numbers from $750,000 to S5,000,000 have been publicly mentioned. If the Colleges were to offer a total towards the high end of that range AND if the City were to use ALL of it to reduce the exposure of the taxpayers, that would be an improvement on the non-profit side. But the business side would remain unaddressed. This should have been sorted out before going to the voters. It is regrettable that with more than two years to re -study this issue, City Hall hasn't gotten it right. Mayor Nasiali was correct in December: this measure was rushed and the financing is wrong. Do not vote for Measure SC simply because it improves somewhat on the last proposal. Too many problems remain, and the community is not convinced. See Police StationAdvocates.com. Please vote NO on Measure SC. DONNA SUE LOWE Claremont Resident GARY LOWE Claremont Resident JAY N. POCOCK Claremont Resident LA 031-038 M00005453E-4 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE SC This measure would levy a new tax for 25 years for yet another oversized and over -priced police station. In 2015, Claremont voters defeated Measure PS by a 3 to 1 margin. At the time, the City of Claremont told us it was absolutely necessary to spend $50,000,000 on a palatial police station. City officials now come back and propose a different but still imposing edifice almost three times the size of the current structure, and over five times its original cost in real dollars. From the time the existing building opened, our population has increased by less than half, and Claremont is built out. A building the size and cost of the one proposed isn't needed now or in the future. City staff has no idea what the additional operating costs of this huge building will be, nor where that money will come from. Compared to other funding options rejected by the City, this financing scheme exempts non -profits and the colleges from payment of over $4,900,000 while businesses would enjoy nearly $2,800,000 in tax breaks. As a result, homeowners will pay more than $5,000,000 in additional taxes, roughly $500. It is unfair. In the City's survey, half of those responding thought this large station was unnecessary and four out of five opposed this financing scheme because of the cost. This measure isn't what the general public supports. City staff reports a typical homeowner will pay almost $4,000 in all. New residents—young families with children—will pay even more because of the increase in assessed value when they buy. Claremont just lost $11,000,000 in the decisions. City spending has taken guidelines. With unfunded pensions, county and state taxes, this is too much. Please vote NO. GARY LOWE Claremont Resident JAY POCOCK Claremont Resident DONNA SUE LOWE Claremont Resident water takeover debacle through bad our financial reserves well below state mandates, and with additional LA 031-039 M00005453E-5 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE SC Claremont is a community unlike any other in Southern California. It is a community that was built with thoughtful planning and community participation. These values are what attracted many of us to buy our "forever" homes here. This thoughtful planning and public process was used to develop the Police Facility proposal. Compromise and collaboration are values to be proud of. Perfection is the enemy of the good. This project is right -sized and funded by the most reliable mechanism. The City does not have the money to build a new station from the general fund. In the same way people finance their homes with a mortgage, we must finance the construction of a new station. A General Obligation Bond is the least expensive way to borrow money. It is the funding mechanism we have used for past capital investments. We have used it to fund parks, schools, and facilities. We need a station that is structurally sound and big enough to fit the size and needs of our Police Department. By supporting Measure SC, you are giving the men and women of your Claremont Police Department the tools and resources they need to keep our community safe now and in the future. A safe community is a community with high property values. NOW is the time to fund a new station. We may not get this chance again. It's time to come together and vote for the community's best interest. Vote YES on Measure SC.

Based on these estimated tax rates, the average annual tax over the life of the bonds would be $24.47 for $100,000 of assessed valuation for single family homes. Voters should note that these estimated tax rates are based on the assessed value of taxable property in the City as shown on the official tax rolls of the County, not on the property's market value. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner's exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above. Certain taxpayers may also be eligible to postpone the payment of taxes. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. The actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary from those presently estimated, due to variations from these estimates in the timing of the bond sale, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The estimates are based upon the City's projections and are not binding upon the City. The dates of sale and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the City based on the need for construction funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the City as determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.
