REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared By: Nicole Dailey, Deputy City Manager
Date: December 14, 2021
Subject: Amendment No. 2 – Agreement with David Turch and Associates for
Government Relations and Legislative Advocacy Services
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to extend the Agreement for
Professional Services with David Turch and Associates for Government Relations and Legislative
Advocacy Services in an amount not to exceed $42,000 per year in such final form as approved
by the City Attorney.
Background
Since 2016, David Turch and Associates (DTA) has been providing the City with government
relations services including regular federal legislative updates, ongoing consultation, and
representation of its affairs with the Legislative and Executive Branches of the Federal
Government. The City entered into an agreement with David Turch and Associates to provide
these services on April 1, 2016 for an amount of $3,500 per month. DTA serves as the City liaison
with our federal elected officials in terms of responding to calls or requests for projects and funding
opportunities including recent earmark funding offered at the federal level.
This agreement was extended in December 2017 to ensure the City had adequate representation
and support related to the Lake Elsinore Advanced Pump Storage project or LEAPS. LEAPS is a
proposed hydroelectric project in the Cleveland National Forest that seeks to use Lake Elsinore
as the “lower reservoir.” In April 2019, the City Council unanimously voted “to oppose the LEAPS
project subject to conditions.”
Nevada Hydro, the project proponent, is still making its way through the licensing process with
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The City is fully participating in the formal
FERC licensing process and DTA continues to provide services and assist the City’s efforts in
addressing concerns and coordinating with federal agencies.
Discussion
As noted in Amendment No. 2, staff is requesting to extend the City’s ongoing representation
through June 30, 2024, with an option to extend the term of the Agreement on a 12-month basis
not to exceed three (3) additional twelve (12) month renewal terms at the same cost.

Services to be provided to the City include representing the City as a liaison with its federal
representatives, assisting in applying for congressional direct spending and federal funding
opportunities, and keeping the City informed about any legislative proposals or actions that could
have a significant impact on the City, including LEAPS. A more detailed scope of services is
attached in Exhibit D. To date, the City Manager’s Office has been satisfied with DTA’s
performance and recommends the City Council approve this amendment.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is up to $42,000 per year and is included in the City’s Annual Operating Budget.

A Proposal to Provide

'Avid J�rch and 4.��iata
November 29, 2017
Dear Mr. Yates:
I much enjoyed discussing with you and city staff the possible ramifications of the
proposed hydroelectric project. We are eager to assist you in protecting and advancing
the interests of the City of Lake Elsinore and its citizens in this endeavor as well as your
other opportunities with our federal government.

immediate effectiveness for you.
Our success is based on hard work and experience. We look forward to providing the
representation in Washington you deserve.
Sincerely,
David M. N. Turch

APPROACH
We understand the city of Lake Elsinore's immediate concern with Nevada Hydro's
hydroelectric plan. Therefore, our proposed immediate task will be to access the current
status of this project with the multiple federal agencies either having jurisdiction or other
interests. Our objective is to allow the City sufficient time and accurate information to
determine whether it is in its interest to support or oppose Nevada Hydro's Lake
Elsinore Advanced Pump Storage Project (LEAPS) and under what terms and
conditions.
We would work the City to identify a course of action to either obstruct the project in
its entirety or to negotiate and enforce on the federal level, offsets for the benefit of Lake
Elsinore. This would include any required or desired remediation. Additionally, this
initial assessment would identify coalition partners i.e. Vectis Strategies and our likely
adversaries i.e. Dentonf U.S. LLP, recently retained in Washington by Nevada Hyrdro.
Immediately raising the political profile of the Lake Elsinore project with Members of
Congress and the executive branch will achieve one of the City's primary objectives,
which is to ensure that the Lake Elsinore"s interests are protected by ensuring that the
LEAPS project is thoroughly vetted.
We encourage a contingent of City Council members and staff to travel to Washington,
D.C. early next year to directly advocate before Congress and relevant federal agencies.
Aside from meeting with the appropriate congressional members, we will organize
appointments with House and Senate committees of jurisdiction. We also will target
agencies that have a direct or tangential interest in protecting Lake Elsinore.
Representative Ken Calvert has been and will be supportive of the city's positions.
He has already submitted a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
expressing opposition to fast -tracking the application process. Continuing to work with
his office, we will also engage Senators Feinstein and Harris.
There are series of entities within the federal government with an interest in Nevada
Hyrdo's hydroelectric plans. They include:
— Federal Energy Regulatory Commission;
— The Army Corps of Engineers;
— The Environmental Protection Agency;
— Fish and Wildlife Service;
— The U.S. Forest Service;
— The Appropriations Committees in each chamber of Congress.
We will be responsible for coordinating those efforts to best serve the City of Lake
Elsinore.
4
We will carefully engage and monitor the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. We
will meet with the US Army Corps of Engineers, both here in Washington, D.C. and in
their Los Angeles District Office. We will organize meetings with the US Fish and
Wildlife Service, the US Forest Service and the US Environmental Protection Agency
to request their engagement in the process.
Meeting with agency officials here in Washington promotes a symbiotic relationship in
which they can better sense your particular needs and adjust as needed. Agency officials
want to know how they can be helpful to you. Lake Elsinore's involvement on the
federal level with Washington officials is important.
Following the Washington, DC advocacy trip, we will conduct follow up discussion
with each of the agencies' regional offices. We will continue to apply all due political
pressure on the project by ensuring the continued engagement of your congressional
delegation and federal agencies.
REPORTING
We place great emphasis on communication. This will be achieved through personal
updates and frequent visits with Lake Elsinore. We will communicate with you
extensively and expect to regularly hear from you. This gives you immediate
information and provides you with the ability to ask detailed questions and provide
specific direction. Such personal service fosters improved relations and provides a
forum for more detailed examination of your federal issues.
We maintain close relationships with our clients. Members of the governing boards of
our clients know us personally. We make frequent visits to your area. We listen. We
work hard to understand your current needs and your plans for the future. We appreciate
the role everyone plays in this team effort.
We understand how issues can develop quickly and we have the ability to adapt to such
changing demands. We understand your agenda and track issues not specifically listed
but of interest to you. As a client, you are a priority to us. We are available to you by
email and phone call always.

RELEVANT
LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE BRANCH SUCCESSES
David Turch and Associates has an excellent working relationship with the Army Corps
of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, Forest Service, the Fish and
Wildlife Service and other agencies of interest to the City. Our past projects vary
between flood control to groundwater remediation to groundwater recharge.
David Turch and Associates has a solid background with myriad municipal projects and
entities which have interests similar to those of the City of Lake Elsinore. A few of
those clients include:
-- City of Chino, CA: Chino is pursuing the Pine Avenue Improvements Project
which involves significant fill material for the roadway embankments within the
impoundment area of the Prado Reservoir. We are working with Chino and the
USACE's Asset Management Division to secure the necessary permits. Just Iast
month, David Turch and Amanda Stephenson were in Los Angeles attending a
meeting at the USACE's district office to resolve a point of contention over the
initial construction plans.
— Cities of Ontario and Chino, CA: Prado Basin Ecosystem Restoration project is
a multi jurisdictional opportunity to create a wetlands ecosystem and enhance
recreational uses as part of a regional watershed management plan. Located in
the Prado Basin in Chino, with feed waters from Mill Creek in Ontario, the
project is designed to increase the headwaters available to Orange County's
drinking water system by taking advantage of the natural filtration systems in
the area. Spearheaded by the City of Ontario and supported by the City of
Chino, the County of San Bernardino, the Inland Empire Utilities Agencies
(IEUA), the Orange County Water District (OC WD), and the United States
Army Corps of Engineers, the proposed project takes a fallow and underutilized
area transforming it into a destination providing environmental and recreational
benefits consistent with USACE's goals.
— City of South Gate, CA: The City has been in discussion with the Army Corps
of Engineers on recreational development along the Los Angeles River south of
Los Angeles City. With the passage of Measure M, tens of millions of dollars
are becoming available to cities along the river. South Gate, a community of
with over 100,000 residents, has already received an $8 million grant to begin
work on construction of a recreational/pedestrian/bike path on its riparian
border. Additional funds are forthcoming not just for South Gate but for a host
of cities along the river. We are working with South Gate and the Corps,
exploring avenues on how to coordinate and connect recreational projects down
river of L.A. with the Los Angeles River Ecosystem Restoration Project.
rel
-- Fallon County, Montana: For the past year, David Turch & Associates has
coordinated efforts between the Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, and the Environmental Protection Agency to remediate
Baker Lake in Fallon County, Montana. Baker Lake suffered significant damage
when a tornado deposited considerable amounts of debris into the lake. We
organized a site visit by the regional directors of the Corps and EPA which
resulted in these respective agencies reaching an agreement with Fallon County
on a remediation plan. The project requires dewatering, several feet of dredging,
and shoreline restoration. Because each agency is responsible for a different
aspect of this remediation project, the coordination of their efforts has been
critical to its overall success. We also negotiated with EPA and the Corps of
Engineers remediation for Baker Lake and forgiveness of imposed $37,500 per
day fine.
Earlier this fall, the County received $2.1 million from FEMA. When the
County recently asked for an extension, David Turch and Associates facilitated
discussions with FEMA and Army Corps of Engineers about the required steps
and the compelling reasons to grant the request.
City of Temecula, CA: When the City was notified earlier this year by the US
Army Corps of Engineers that is was reducing the scope (top of bank
landscaping and irrigation) of the current construction phase of the Murrieta
Creek Flood Project that runs through Temecula's historic downtown, we took
action to resolve the funding discrepancy. In close coordination with Temecula,
we worked with the ACOE, the House Energy and Water Appropriations
Subcommittee and Representative Ken Calvert (R-CA) — through direct
agency/congressional meetings and correspondence -- to ensure that sufficient
funding ($2 million) was allocated to complete all sections of this phase of the
project, including the landscaping and irrigation component, a high priority for
Temecula.
A problem for the city was the frequent flooding of Old Town. The Corps had
resisted what was believed to be a solution of removing of vegetation including
mature trees from the Murrieta creek bed. We worked closely with both Senate
offices and the Corps to resolve the problem and thus alleviated the flooding
issue in Old Town Temecula.
— City of Rialto: secured the national priorities listinglsuperfund site and $23
million for perchlorate remediation from DOD and EPA for contaminated water
supply
— Cities of Rialto and Colton: In working with the inland Empire cities of Rialto
and Colton on their perch lorate groundwater contamination issue, we advocated
with their congressional delegation to secure over $23 million from the EPA and
the Department of Defense to help remediate the site. As part of our efforts to
expand federal funding sources, we worked with then Congressman Joe Baca
7
(D-CA) and Representative Grace Napolitano (D-CA) on authorizing a new
program — the California Reclamation Groundwater Remediation Initiative --
under the auspices of the Bureau of Reclamation. The program authorized $10
million for the purposes of groundwater remediation to assist Rialto and Colton
to deal more effectively with their groundwater contamination problem. We also
worked with EPA headquarters and Region IX office in San Francisco and with
relevant congressional committees, in particular the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee, in advancing the City ofRialto's objective of securing
a National Priorities Listing (NPL) designation of its the 160-acre B.F. Goodrich
site.
As part of our water advocacy, we meet regularly with the Bureau of
Reclamation, the ACOE and the EPA as well as with the House Transportation
and Infrastructure and Natural Resources committees and the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee on our clients' behalf. We
understand how important it is to tap into all relevant water authorization
programs, including the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse program. With
our large California client base, we are keenly aware how imperative it is for
communities in the Western part of the country to reclaim and reuse wastewater
and impaired ground or surface waters. We know how to navigate the federal
process — both executive and legislative — to achieve our clients' priorities.

OTHER EXAMPLES OF
LEGISLATIVE & EXECUTIVE BRANCH SUCCESSES
Economic Development -,lob Training
On behalf of the City of Imperial, California, we have been diligently holding meetings
over several years with officials from the Commerce Department's Economic
Development Administration (EDA), both in Washington, D.C. and with their regional
office in southern California. Our work paid off in 2013 when the City of Imperial
secured a $3,000,000 EDA grant to fund the extension of water, wastewater, and the
construction of surface road and other improvements along Neckel Road. This project
supports the development of the Alliance and Innovative Regional Center, an USCIS
approved E13-5 green card investment regional center, which will include a hotel, retail
center, and office park. This project supports foreign direct investment and global
competitiveness. This investment is part of a $3,828,375 project that will create an
estimated 642 jobs and leverage $22.25 million in private investment.
Through our advocacy work with EPA, we were able to help the City of Rialto partner
with the agency to establish a job training program aimed at helping prepare young
adults in Rialto for employment opportunities in the hazardous waste cleanup
industry. The Superfund Job Training Initiative (SuperJTI) program combines
extensive classroom instruction with hands-on training exercises for each participant.
SuperJTI graduates have the technical skills to work on a broad range of construction,
environmental remediation, and cleanup projects at Superfund sites. EPA offers
SuperJTI training through its Technical Assistance Services for Communities (TASC)
contract, which provides training and independent technical assistance to communities.
TASC provides assistance to communities affected by hazardous waste sites regulated
by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, and the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA).
Emergency Preparedness & Action
We organized a Stearns County advocacy trip to Washington, D.0 to advance their
interests in emergency preparedness. We met with Members of the Minnesota
delegation, Congressional Committees of interest and various federal agencies,
including FEMA. The County was awarded over $165,000 from FEMA in Hazard
Mitigation grants to construct tornado safe rooms.
In June 2016, a tornado touched down in Fallon County, Montana and caused
extensive damage to a local lake. David Turch and Associates immediately initiated
work with FEMA, County Officials, the Governor's office, and the Montana
Congressional delegation to determine the best resources and funding structures to
remediate the lake. We worked directly with the Governor's Office to submit a `Major
Disaster Declaration' to President Obama� and the Congressional Delegation to secure
letters of support to the FEMA Administrator. Fallon County is currently receiving
support from FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers.
0
Law Enforcement
In September 2014, the Justice Department's COPS Office awarded $250,000 to the
Rialto Police Department to hire two School Resource Officers (SRO). We worked
closely with the Rialto Police Department and the COPS Office and Rialto's
congressional House and Senate delegations. We organized several meetings in 2014
between Rialto City officials and COPS Office Director Ronald Davis to discuss the
City's law enforcement personnel needs and Justice Department grant opportunities. In
addition to the SRO grant the Rialto Police Department secured over $625,000 in COPS
funding to hire five new police officers. The Police Department also secured a $93,000
grant in 2012 as part of a study that received national attention on the use of body
cameras. The police department saw an 88 percent drop in complaints against officers,
from 24 to 3 in a single year, after implementing the body cameras. Use -of -force
incidents also fell by nearly 60 percent from 61 to 25 incidents.
Transportation
In 2012, we worked with the Riverside Transit Administration (RTA) to secure a $2.4
million Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Clean Fuel Grant. The federal funds were
used to cover the cost of replacing RTA's fleet of compressed natural gas buses, which
were reaching the end of their useful life. RTA is in the process of spending over $50
million on the purchase of 97 full-sized buses, with the potential to buy more if needed.
Over the years, we have secured tens of millions of dollars for interchange projects
along the 1-10 and I-15 Corridors in Southern California, including the I-10 and
Riverside Avenue Interchange, the 1-15 and Base Line Road Interchange, and the
proposed SR-60 Potrero Boulevard Interchange. When previously earmarked funds
were at risk of being rescinded for the Potrero Boulevard Interchange project in the
summer of 2012, we worked with the City of Beaumont, the Department of
Transportation, and Caltrans to ensure that the funds remained dedicated to the
project. We have also secured tens of millions of dollars for bridges and road
improvement projects for our clients across the country.
We have been working with the City of Montclair, the Foothill Gold Line Construction
Authority, and the San Bernardino Associated Governments on the Gold Line extension
(Phase 2B) from Azusa to Montclair. The City of Montclair, our client, has been
actively engaged in advocating for the buildout of Phase 2B. City officials have
explored various funding solutions to pay for the extension of the light rail line from
Claremont to Montclair — a $68 million segment — which serves as the gateway into the
western portion of San Bernardino County. We have held discussions and met with
Federal Transit Administration officials, both in Washington, DC and in Los Angeles,
on potential federal funding sources for the project, including Small Starts.
In order to expand federal funding options, City officials have also met with the
Department of Transportation's Office of Infrastructure Finance and Innovation. In this
regard, we reviewed the possibility of securing funds under the Transportation
Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program and the
10
Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA). On the local font,
Montclair has also applied for Cap and Trade funds. With the passage of Measure M
in Los Angeles County, raising $1.1 billion for the construction of the Gold Line from
Azusa to Claremont, Montclair has until April 2018 to secure a funding package to link
up with the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority's construction timetable. The
City has lined up support from members from the Los Angeles and San Bernardino
Congressional Delegations and is reviewing all available options.
We have worked with the City of Monrovia on its development plans along the Gold
Line light rail extension through the City. Monrovia's Station Square Transit Village
development is the most ambitious project in Monrovia in decades and, when
completed, will ultimately cover 80 acres-- including a park -and -ride transit center,
more than 1,000 new residential units, neighborhood retail establishments, offices and
public spaces. We helped secure over $4.5 million for the project. Beyond assisting the
City in securing federal funds for the project, we were more recently engaged in
obtaining congressional support in facilitating an agreement on the construction of a
maintenance facility between Monrovia and the Gold Line Construction Authority. We
also secured funding for the City's trolley system, parks and downtown historic
preservation project.
NASA/SOFIA Program
President Obama's FY 2015 budget request for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) proposed to eliminate funding for the Stratospheric
Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) program operated out of Palmdale,
California. David Turch and Associates was tasked by the City of Palmdale to mobilize
and secure congressional support to restore full funding -- $87 million -- for
SOFIA. Termination of the program would have resulted in the direct loss of over 200
high -paying jobs in the Palmdale region. We immediately engaged key House and
Senate Appropriations Committee Members and enlisted the support of the California
Congressional Delegation. We organized a Palmdale City advocacy trip to Washington,
DC prior to the NASA budget markup by the House Appropriations Commerce, Justice,
Science Subcommittee. The Palmdale delegation met with top NASA representatives
including the official in charge of handling funding justifications for the Astrophysics
Division. The Palmdale group had meetings with Kevin McCarthy, then House
Majority Whip, whose congressional district stretches into the Antelope Valley, as well
as with the Republican and Democratic leadership of the CJS Subcommittee. We
leveraged local business and labor interests for the project on Capitol Hill. We
duplicated our efforts on the Senate side, working closely with. Senators Dianne
Feinstein and Barbara Boxer. We coordinated our legislative advocacy efforts with
research stakeholders from northern California. The end result was a House mark of
$70 million and a Senate mark of $87 million. The enacted continuing resolution for
FY 2015 allowed NASA to continue to fully operate SOFIA. The respective
House/Senate appropriations marks, moreover, ensured that the program was funded
through the end of 2015 fiscal year and beyond.
Homeland Security
David Turch and Associates provides federal advocacy services for the Interagency
Communications Interoperability System (I-C-I System) Joint Powers Authority (JPA),
a multicity member agency including Beverly Hills, Burbank, Culver City, Glendale,
Montebello, Pasadena,Pomona and Santa Monica. In addition, ICIS network subscribers
include the Bob Hope Airport Authority, the Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan
Police Apprehension Crime Task Force (LA IMPACT), and the Verdugo Fire
Communications Center, serving the cities of Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Arcadia,
Monrovia, South Pasadena, San Marino, San Gabriel, Sierra Madre, Monterey Park, and
Alhambra. The I-C-1 System covers millions of residents in Los Angeles County.
Our firm has been actively promoting I-C-I System's federal agenda with key members
of the House and Senate as well as relevant congressional committees and the Executive
Branch. We have worked with I-C-I System board members and staff in crafting a
federal strategy that advances ICIS's interests by: educating federal representatives
about the critical nature of the organization's work; pursuing appropriations and
programmatic funding; and leveraging congressional support on behalf of I-C-I System,
resulting in millions of dollars in federal funds for the build out of the system.
On policy and regulatory fronts, we have promoted I-C-I System's interests before
federal agencies including the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services regarding COPS Technology funding, the Department of Homeland
Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regarding their grants
programs and "Best Practices" site, and Homeland Security's Science and Technology
Directorate Command, Control and Interoperability Division regarding the
establishment of national standards for interoperable communications. I-C-I System
members worked with the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA) to discuss the agency's implementation and
administration of the $1 billion Public Safety Interoperable Communications Grant
Program (PSIC) as well as the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP).
More recently, I-C-I System officials met with NTIA to discuss the agency's plans on
establishing and implementing FirstNet, the governance board in charge of managing
the development of a nationwide broadband network for public safety. ICIS also met
with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officials from the Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau to discuss a legislative rider in H.R. 3630 (P.L. 112-96),
legislation extending middle class tax breaks and unemployment benefits, that mandates
a "take back" of frequencies in the UHF T-Band portion of spectrum (470-512 MHz),
which is used to support narrowband voice systems in a dozen of the largest
metropolitan areas in the country, including within LA County. ICIS operates within
the T-Band range of frequencies. We are working to resolve the T-Band issue with the
LA Congressional Delegation, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the House
and Senate Homeland Security Committees, and the Senate Commerce, Science, and
Transportation Committee.

Education
Since entering into an agreement in 2013, we have been working with the City of Hemet,
California to raise awareness of their issues on Capitol Hill. We have met with Members
of the California delegation as well as with key congressional committees and federal
agencies. In September 2014, Hemet was awarded a $340,918 Education grant for the
Hemet Unified School District to improve school climate and keep students safe. We
worked through the City in support of the grant application.
Aviation
Our achievements include last year's change to a federal statute which allowed up to
$250 million to be exchanged between Ontario International Airport and Los Angeles
World Airports. This transfer had been prohibited by U.S. House of Representatives
rules. It was critical in allowing Ontario to become an independent airport.
We worked with the City of Ontario, California in its campaign to regain control of the
Ontario International Airport from the City of Los AngeleslLos Angeles World
Airports. In this successful endeavor, we coordinated closely with Southern California
municipalities, counties, national aviation stakeholders, members of Congress,
congressional committees and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to advance
our client's agenda. This multi -pronged strategy involved orchestrating a congressional
field hearing, enlisting congressional support as well as securing the enactment of a
legislative provision amending federal law to allow the $250 million settlement
agreement between Ontario and Los Angeles to take effect.
In securing a legislative fix, we enlisted the support of key congressional players
including Chairman Bill Shuster and Ranking Member Pete Defazio of the House
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Chairman John Thune and Ranking
Member Bill Nelson of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee,
Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, and assembled a bipartisan coalition of
members from the Southern California delegation including Representatives Ken
Calvert, an appropriations cardinal, and Grace Napolitano, a senior Democrat on the
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Over a period of ten months, we secured the introduction of stand-alone, companion
bills in each chamber of Congress, overcame earmark concerns, ensured our legislative
text was part of Chairman Shuster and Chairman Thune's respective FAA
reauthorization measures and, as a fall back plan, inserted our provision in the Senate
Transportation Appropriations bill. Moreover, we enlisted the support of the House
Republican leadership team in moving our provision through the House. Enactment of
our legislative fix allowed the airport transfer to take place on November 1, 2016.
We worked with the City of Imperial, the City of El Centro, the County of Imperial and
SeaPort Airlines on securing a Department of Transportation waiver so that Imperial
County Airport can continue to participate in the Essential Air Service (EAS)
program. The EAS provides a federal subsidy to encourage commercial passenger air
service in rural communities. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (Public
13
Law 112-95) amended the EAS requiring participating communities to maintain an
average of 10 enplanements or more per service day in order to remain program
eligible. This new statutory requirement took effect at the beginning of FY 2013
(October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013). Imperial County Airport's average
daily enplanements for FY 2013 was below the minimum DOT threshold. David Turch
and Associates worked with all regional stakeholders, including Senators Dianne
Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and Representative Juan Vargas, in a successful effort to
secure a waiver, which was issued by the Transportation Department in September
2014. We organized several meetings with EAS officials and held numerous
communications with congressional and regional representatives. Continued EAS
service to the airport is a critical component of the region's economic development
plans. The waiver allows the airport to continue to have access to the $1.6 million EAS
grant through FY 2015.
From a different advocacy perspective, we are sometimes retained by a client to block
an initiative that will harm their interest. David Turch and Associates was hired by the
homeowner's associations of Lake Nona Estates and North Lake Park in Orlando,
Florida to increase the level of transparency with the Greater Orlando Airport Authority
(GOAA) regarding the planned expansion of their East Airfield. The original airport
plans threatened to adversely affect the environment and health of the community
residents. David Turch & Associates successfully engaged the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and relevant members of the House and
Senate to pressure the GOAA to make plan modifications to address the communities'
concerns.
As a result, a community park was created as a buffer zone which then bordered an area
that was agreed to be used only for low intensity aviation activity. Any high intensity
aircraft activity was also agreed to be located at the area farthest from residential
communities.
In a unique example, we convinced Congress to direct the FAA to essentially close an
airport —Rialto. This is the only time in the history of America this has occurred.
Domestic Violence
David Turch and Associates helped the Stearns County Attorney secure a $100,000 in
funding to establish the first Domestic Violence Court in Minnesota. Prior to
establishing the DV Court, all seven of the last intentional homicides in Stearns County
were related to domestic violence. Within the first three years of operation, the DV
Court saw 58% of victims, who received legal services, separated permanently from
abusers, a reduction in assaults and violations of no -contact orders, and increased school
attendance from the children involved. These improvements include significant
economic benefit to the community of decreased use of judicial and enforcement
resources, fewer missed days of work or absences from school, and lower health care
related costs due to physical injury.

Fee Proposal
We recommend a negotiated monthly retainer as the best method of payment for our
services. Monthly retainers are an agreed upon amount for which we will perform all
of the activities necessary to effectively represent your interests.
For you, a monthly retainer provides stability for planning and the elimination of the
administrative expense required to analyze bills. Retainers allow you to level those
expenses over the life of the contract. We demand that members of this firm focus on
the job to be accomplished, not on dollars received. Monthly retainers are one way to
maintain this high standard.
We do not bill for routine costs. Before incurring any extraordinary expenses we solicit
your prior approval. We encourage you to specify any other control over expenses you
feel is appropriate. There are no hidden costs in our contract.
We have a formal conflict of interest policy. We notify all parties when any potential
conflict might arise and in that notification state how we intend to resolve the potential
conflict. We have zero litigation history throughout our 30 year tenure in business.
Several times we have analyzed our billing procedures and in every case the negotiated
retainer amount was less than what hourly fees would have been. Our suggested cost
for the level of services we believe you will require is per month or
per year.

bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or
municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or
negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts
for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The
foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to
property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its
officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees,

property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold

Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement
does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.
This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for
damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By
execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this
Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

EXHIBIT A
EXHIBIT A
We regularly talk with Members and their staffs as well as agency officials and understand how
the latest legislative, regulatory and funding developments will affect your priorities. Promoting
your program and interests to the Congress and federal agencies is best done by keeping it
simple. We help develop material and messages that can be encapsulated in one page -- or less.
The detail, when required, will be attached but the message or request needs to be clear and
concise.
The follow up is crucial. Reminders are constantly made with key congressional offices, We
keep you informed of progress and problems.
Besides monitoring appropriations and budgetary issues for Lake Elsinore, we also will track
legislative bills that may have a positive or negative affect on City business.
We place great emphasis on communication. This is done through personal updates and frequent
visits to the City. We will communicate with the City extensively and regularly expect to hear
from you. This gives you immediate information and provides you with the ability to ask detailed
questions and provide specific direction. This clear understanding of the City's direction is most
useful during the legislative session when we arrange meetings and the opportunity for you to
testify before the federal government.
City staff (and Council Members if so designated) will receive all federal grant announcements
via email. These announcements are sent to you as they are released by federal agencies.
Memoranda on legislative initiatives affecting Lake Elsinore's priorities will be sent to staff as
appropriate. In addition, you will receive a monthly newsletter highlighting major congressional
action by the House and/or Senate.
Inquiries from City officials will be handled expeditiously. We commit to appearing before the
City Council and to be available to make additional presentations as requested.
As part of our effort to strengthen the City's federal agenda, we would propose to hold a federal
workshop for the Council at a time of your convenience. We have found that these workshops
act as a constructive way to get Council input and direction on the City's federal priorities and
interests. We will provide an overview of the federal budget process, explore different City
priorities and federal funding opportunities, and fine tune the City's federal agenda based on
Council Members' comments.
