21. The Debtor shall be directly responsible for the cost of any additional space or
equipment such as designated telephone lines and automation equipment, etc., if necessary.
22. The Debtor shall be responsible for payment for the designated post office boxes (if
any) retained for receiving filings in this case.
SUMMARY OF RELIEF REQUESTED
23. The potential creditor pool in the Citys case is vast, with over 200,000 people
residing in the City and with over 5,000 parties expected to be on mailing matrix. Given the size of
the Citys mailing matrix, it would be impracticable and inefficient for the City and the Court to
undertake the task of sending notices to the creditors and other parties in interest. Moreover,
appointing the Noticing Agent to maintain a claims register and process claims and ballots will
greatly decrease the costs and burdens of administering the Citys case and will improve the accuracy
and efficiency of the noticing, claims allowance, and solicitation processes. Accordingly,
appointment of the Noticing Agent is in the best interests of the City, the Citys creditors, and the
Court.
JURISDICTION AND NOTICE
24. The City brings its motion (the Motion) pursuant to Section 901(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, 28 U.S.C. 156(c), Bankruptcy Rule 2002, and Local Bankruptcy Rule 5075-1.
25. The Court has jurisdiction over the Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1334(b). The
Motion is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). The City will cause a copy of this Motion
to be given by notification of electronic filing on August 9, 2012, or an overnight delivery service on
August 10, 2012, to: (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the Central District of California;
(b) parties that filed requests for notice or courtesy notification of electronic filing, (c) the parties
listed on the List of Creditors Holding 20 Largest Unsecured Claims, which is being filed
concurrently, and (d) certain parties in interest that are identified on a supplemental proof of service
that will be filed in support of this Motion on August 10, 2012. The City submits that, under the
circumstances, consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, no

other or further notice is required, except notice of the hearing date on this Motion that the Court may
direct.
RELIEF REQUESTED
26. Bankruptcy Rule 2002 governs the notices that must be provided to creditors and
other parties in interest in bankruptcy cases. Bankruptcy Rule 2002 authorizes the Court to direct
that some person other than the Clerk of the Court give notice of the matters arising in a debtors
bankruptcy case.
27. 28 U.S.C. 156(c), which governs the staffing and expenses of bankruptcy courts,
states in pertinent part:
Any court may utilize facilities or services, either on or off the court's
premises, which pertain to the provision of notices, dockets,
calendars, and other administrative information to parties in cases
filed under the provisions of title 11, United States Code, where the
costs of such facilities or services are . . . are not charged to the
United States. The utilization of such facilities or services shall be
subject to such conditions and limitations as the pertinent circuit
council may prescribe.
28 U.S.C. 156(c).
28. The City has solicited proposals for a third-party vendor to serve as claims, noticing,
and balloting agent in its Chapter 9 case. Through this process, the City has solicited and authorized
the engagement of the Noticing Agent because the proposal of the Noticing Agent was the lowest
and best proposal for these services, which the Noticing Agent is very qualified to perform.
29. The City seeks entry of an order authorizing the Noticing Agent to function as claims,
noticing and balloting agent to, among other things: (i) serve as the Courts notice agent to mail
notices to the Debtors creditors and parties in interest, (ii) provide computerized claims, objection
and balloting database services, and (iii) provide expertise, consultation and assistance in claim and
ballot processing and with other administrative information with respect to the Citys bankruptcy
case.
30. As set forth above, the City is expected to have over 5,000 parties on its mailing

matrix. The size of the Citys mailing matrix makes it impracticable and inefficient for the Court and
the City to send notices to those parties. The City respectfully submits that the most effective and
efficient manner by which to provide claims administration, notice, and solicitation services in this
case is to authorize the Noticing Agent to act as an agent of the Court for these purposes.
31. Appointing the Noticing Agent to maintain a claims register and to process claims
will greatly decrease the costs and burdens on the Court, which otherwise would maintain its claims
register online and likely would be inundated with mailings and electronic claim filings. Moreover,
appointment of the Noticing Agent will improve the accuracy and efficiency of the claims allowance
process and the solicitation and noticing process.
32. The City has engaged the Noticing Agent to send out certain designated notices and
maintain claims files and a claims and voting register and to perform the other services described
herein. The City believes that such assistance will expedite service of notices and streamline the
claims administration process.
33. The Noticing Agent is well-qualified to provide such services, expertise, consultation
and assistance. The Noticing Agent is a data processing firm that specializes in noticing, claims
processing, voting and other administrative tasks in chapter 11 cases. The Noticing Agent has
assisted and advised numerous chapter 11 debtors in connection with noticing, claims administration
and reconciliation and administration of plan votes. The Noticing Agent has provided identical or
substantially similar services in chapter 11 cases as those necessitated by the Citys chapter 9 case.
34. For the foregoing reasons, the City believes that the authorization of the Noticing
Agent as the claims, noticing, and balloting agent is appropriate and in the best interests of the City,
the Citys creditors, and the Court.
35. The City files this Motion without prejudice to or waiver of its rights pursuant to
Section 904 of the Bankruptcy Code, and nothing herein is intended as or shall be deemed to
constitute the Citys consent pursuant Section 904 of the Bankruptcy Code to this Courts
interference with (a) any of the political or governmental powers of the City, (b) any of the property
or revenues of the City, or (c) the Citys use or enjoyment of any income-producing property.
