It is requested that the City Council open the Public Hearing regarding the annexation of Tract 20675 to the District and the proposed assessments in order to accept public testimony and any written protests regarding these proceedings. Upon conclusion of the public testimony, the Mayor will close the Public Hearing and direct the City Clerk or their designee to open and tabulate the ballots received, which may take a few minutes. Upon completion of the tabulation, the City Clerk will present to the City Council the results of that tabulation which will be in the form of total dollars ($) in support of the assessments (“Yes” votes) and the total dollars ($) opposed to the assessments (“No” votes); and as a matter of procedure, the City Council would then adopt the first of two resolutions which formally declares the results of the protest ballot proceedings. Based on the weighted ballot tabulation results, if the “No” votes exceed the “Yes” votes then there is a majority protest of the proposed assessments, and the City Council will abandon any further proceedings at this time to annex this Annexation Territory to the District or to levy the annual assessments.

Kosmont Financial Services Mailing Address: 1601 N Sepulveda Blvd, #382 (424) 297-1073 Physical Address: 2301 Rosecrans Avenue Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 www.KosmontFinancial.com Suite 4140, El Segundo, CA 90245 Kosmont Financial Services is an Independent Registered Municipal Advisor with the SEC and the MSRB. April 23, 2025 Mr. Jessie Flores City Manager City of Adelanto 11600 Air Expressway Adelanto, CA 92301 Re: Agreement for Strategic and Operational Financial Services Consulting – April 2025 Extension of Phase 2 Implementation Contract Dear Jessie: Kosmont Transactions Services, Inc. doing business as Kosmont Financial Services ("Consultant" or "KFS" or "Kosmont") is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Adelanto ("Client" or "City") for a 2025 extension of Phase 2 Services to provide ongoing strategic and operational consulting to assist the City in completing its financial reporting requirements and review its financial management practices as described herein. Consultant is an Independent Registered Municipal Advisor ("IRMA") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB"). This proposal serves as an Agreement when executed and returned by Client to Consultant. I. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The City recently completed its FY21/22 audits, which released the availability of nearly $9 million in transportation grant funding monies. The Finance Team (i.e., City Finance Staff, RAMS CPA and Kosmont) is in the final process of preparing documentation for the FY 22/23 audit, which should be completed within 30 days. The Finance Team must continue to address several accounting deficiencies, such as bank reconciliation and fixed assets in order to begin the FY 23/24 audit soon thereafter. There remains a number of internal processes that require review, enhancement and improvements including contract compliance, accounts payable, cannabis compliance, and revenue tracking. The completion of the FY 22/23 audit will be another key step toward developing an accurate financial information to better manage and to eliminate the City’s structural budget deficit. The overall Strategic and Operational Financial Services assignment has four general long-term objectives:21

City of Adelanto Extension of Strategic and Operational Consulting Services April 23, 2025 Kosmont Financial Services 2 | P a g e (424) 297-1073 www.KosmontFinancial.com 1. Evaluate and assess the Finance Department’s current audit process and develop a strategy and recommendations to accelerate the completion its financial reports. 2. Evaluate the organizational structure and resources of the Finance Department and develop a list of initial recommendations to help the City meet its financial compliance requirements in the future. 3. Evaluate the financial position(s) of the General Fund, Water & Wastewater Fund, and Special Revenue Funds, to identify areas of concern or where improvement is needed. 4. Develop strategic recommendations pertaining to the City’s and Enterprise Funds’ financial position. II. SCOPE OF SERVICES- Extension of Phase 2 Consulting Services Approach to Tasks: The prospective assignment and consulting services that Consultant will provide, will be of a relatively limited scope and duration, and advisory in nature. Consultant will be making recommendations only, which advise the Client and jurisdictions, including their elected officials, appointed officials, and staff, which they can accept or reject by. None of Consultant's staff will act in a capacity as an elected official, nor as an appointed official, nor as staff, nor as supervisor, nor as serving in a "designated" position. Based on the foregoing and recent activity, the current primary goals of this component of Phase 2 Implementation will be continue working to complete the preparation of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and commence the preparation of the FY25-26 budget and FY 23-24 audit. This Agreement proposes to provide additional funding to allow KFS to continue working on this assignment in pursuit of the following general long-term objectives and the three Tasks outlined below: • Task 1 - Completion of Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) • Task 3 - Commence FY25/26 Budget Process • Task 3 - Commence FY 23-24 Audit Additional Projects (as may be assigned and mutually agreed) Task 1 – Continue Development of Capital Improvement Plan KFS has been working with Public Works staff/consultants to complete the Master Project List and expand the current 3-year CIP. We have assigned project numbers to each closed and on- going project; and will identify funding sources for each project. Task 3 - Commence FY25/26 Budget The City passed an Amended FY24/25 Budget at the August 28th City Council meeting, balanced one-time funding sources. We will commence working on the FY25/26 budget process once the FY22/23 audits are completed (end of April), which helps to provide a complete and more accurate financial picture.22

City of Adelanto Extension of Strategic and Operational Consulting Services April 23, 2025 Kosmont Financial Services 3 | P a g e (424) 297-1073 www.KosmontFinancial.com Additional Projects As the Finance Department makes progress on its past due audits, we can then focus our efforts on number of internal procedures that need improvement: revenue projections, bank reconciliation, accounts payable, and learning to use available features in Tyler New World. III. COMPENSATION This letter serves as a third amendment and extension to the Agreement executed between the City of Adelanto and KFS, dated May 23, 2024 (the “May 2024 Agreement”). The May contract was for $60,000, which was subsequently amended and extended by $60,000 in August 23, 2024, $30,000 on November 11, 2024, and $30,000 on March 12, 2025. KFS proposes a $25,000 contract extension for the continued implementation of Phase 2. KFS will charge fees for professional services rendered on a “time and materials” basis, based on the hourly fee schedule provided in Appendix A. Based on the level of effort and time required to perform the tasks undertaken thus far, KFS estimates that this proposed budget should be adequate to continue our work on this assignment through June 2025. Actual fees charged will depend on the amount of time spent at City Hall, amount of analyses that will be required to be performed, and the actual number of presentations/meetings attended. * Proposed compensation budget does not include mileage, travel costs, and out-of-pocket expenses. Additional services and analysis requested or required that falls outside of the scope of Services contained herein could result a need for additional budget to complete the tasks contemplated herein. As stated, any increase in compensation will need to be approved by the City in advance. Any such additional services requested will be billed on either a time and materials basis or a pre-negotiated flat fee basis (see Attachment A for hourly fee schedule). Consultant is prepared to continue work upon receipt of executed Agreement. Consultant anticipates a single consolidated round of Client comments and revisions on draft work product before Consultant provides a final version of work product. If necessary, additional rounds of comments and revisions can be accommodated on an hourly basis. Consultant’s attendance or participation at any publicly noticed meeting, whether such participation is in person, digital, video and/or telephonic (e.g., City Council, Planning Commission, Public Agency Board, other), as requested by Client is in addition to compensation for Tasks 1 through 4 and will be billed at the professional services (hourly) fees as shown on Attachment A. Services will be invoiced monthly at Consultant’s standard billing rates, as shown on Attachment A. In addition to professional services (hourly) fees, invoices will include reimbursement for out- of-pocket expenses such as travel and mileage (provided that there shall be no overnight travel without the Client’s prior approval and that mileage shall be reimbursed at the current IRS mileage23

City of Adelanto Extension of Strategic and Operational Consulting Services April 23, 2025 Kosmont Financial Services 4 | P a g e (424) 297-1073 www.KosmontFinancial.com reimbursement rate), professional printing, conference calls, and delivery charges for messenger and overnight packages at actual cost. Unless otherwise agreed to in advance, out-of-area travel, if any, requires advance funding of flights and hotel accommodations. Consultant will also include in each invoice an administrative services fee to cover in-house copy, fax, telephone and postage costs equal to four percent (4.0%) of Consultant’s monthly professional service fees incurred. Any unpaid invoices after 30 days shall accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. For the convenience of Consultant’s clients, we offer a secure credit card payment service. The credit card payment link is: https://kosmont.paidyet.com and there are two ways to make a secure credit card payment: 1. Fill in the “Make a Payment” form when you go to the link (https://kosmont.paidyet.com), or 2. Call Consultant's accounting desk (Mr. John Muscarello (424) 297-1072) to make a credit card payment IV. DISCLOSURES AND OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED MUNICIPAL ADVISORY RELATIONSHIP Independent Registered Municipal Advisor. KFS is an Independent Registered Municipal Advisor (“IRMA”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”). The KFS professional assigned to perform municipal advisory activities for the City is a “Registered Municipal Advisor Representative” by virtue of having passed the “Series 50” Municipal Advisor Representative Qualification Examination and is overseen by two (2) Municipal Advisor Principals, qualifying said KFS personnel to offer advice to municipal entities and obligated persons on a broad spectrum of financial matters related to municipal securities and associated financial products. As stated, KFS is performing these services in anticipation of assisting the City in various capital financings in the future, including the refunding of APUA 2014 Bonds and CFD 2006-2, among others. In order to execute these financings, the City must get up-to-date on its financial reporting and continuing disclosure requirements. KFS intends to provide strategic, financial, and operational advisory services to the City on a limited basis, until it has completed its audits and passed its budget, which is a prerequisite to issuing debt in the capital markets. KFS is required, prior to, upon, or promptly after the establishment of a municipal advisory relationship, to evidence the municipal advisory relationship by a writing created and delivered to the City that will convey and disclose certain information to the City. This engagement letter (“Engagement Letter”) is being sent to you to satisfy this requirement. Duties and Responsibilities of KFS. As an IRMA, KFS has a duty of care and loyalty to the City and has a fiduciary obligation to provide advice and conduct municipal advisory activities in a manner that is in the City’s best interests, not ours or those of any other party.24

City of Adelanto Extension of Strategic and Operational Consulting Services April 23, 2025 Kosmont Financial Services 5 | P a g e (424) 297-1073 www.KosmontFinancial.com Disclosure of Material Conflicts. KFS is not aware of any conflicts that currently exist or that may come to exist by engaging in municipal advisory activities with the City under the scope of this engagement. However, in the future, should KFS be engaged to assist the City with a municipal securities transaction, the payment of KFS’s fees for municipal bond work that would likely be contingent upon a successful closing of any financing would present a natural and unavoidable conflict. KFS is traditionally willing to work “at risk” on these transactions and believes such a conflict, if it should arise, can and will be properly managed and mitigated, as is the case with other engagements of such contingent nature that KFS regularly undertakes. Disclosure of Legal or Disciplinary Events. Neither KFS, its principles nor any of its Municipal Advisor Professionals have ever been the subject of any legal or disciplinary events that may be material to the City’s evaluation of KFS or the integrity of our management or personnel. Termination of IRMA Relationship. Each of the City and KFS is free to terminate this IRMA relationship at any time by giving notice to the other party. While the City may ultimately undertake the issuance of municipal securities, such an event will not necessarily trigger an automatic termination of the IRMA relationship that KFS has with the City. It is presently anticipated that KFS will continue to perform municipal advisory activities for the City at the City’s pleasure and on an ongoing basis. V. Other Provisions A. Termination. Client or Consultant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notification to the other party. Payment for fees accrued through the date of termination shall be remitted in full. B. Arbitration.

If the matter is heard by only one arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be a member of the State Bar of California or a retired judge. If the matter is heard by an arbitration panel, at least one member of such panel shall be a member of the State Bar of California or a retired judge. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall decide all questions of law, and all mixed questions of law and fact, in accordance with the substantive law of the State of California to the end that all rights and defenses which either party may have asserted in a court of competent jurisdiction shall be fully available to such party in the arbitration proceeding contemplated hereby.
