Later, two additional developments, Tracts 14264 and 14471, were annexed into Assessment District 89-1. To ensure future developments' sustainability, all future developments were recommended for annexation into the District. Subsequently, the following amendments occurred: • Greenbriar on Mt. Vernon Avenue (Tract 17766) was annexed in 2016 as Annexation No. 2. • Aegis Builders development on Pico Street (Tract 18793) was annexed in 2016 as Annexation No. 3. • Crestwood Development Project on Jaden Court (Tract 18071) was annexed as Annexation No. 4 in 2018. • Aegis-Van Buren Housing development on Tesoro Court/Van Buren (Tract 18604) was annexed as Annexation No. 5 in 2019. Each tract is a zone within the Assessment District, totaling seven zones with established assessments approved by Council. DISCUSSION: An annual Engineer’s Report is prepared and considered by the City Council for levying annual assessments. Assessments are made similarly to property taxes and cover operation and maintenance costs for each zone. Zones 1 -3 were established before Proposition 218, hence are not annually increased beyond the rate in effect pre - Proposition 218. Changing these assessments would require a Proposition 218 vote. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, staff proposed a maximum assessment increase of 6.6%. The proposed assessment rates per parcel for Zones 4, 5, 6, and 7 are $220.26, $690.87, $1,986.94, and $439.28, respectively. Council may approve an assessment amount of 4.65% to 6.65%. Servicing and administration of the City’s landscape maintenance program follow the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated fiscal impact to maintain the Assessment District is $74,428.80, mostly reimbursed through property tax collections by the County of San Bernardino for each parcel. The General Fund will account for $7,276.76. ATTACHMENTS: D.5 Packet Pg. 29 • 1. Tract Maps Zone 1-7 (PDF) • 2. Resolution- Initiating Proceedings (DOCX) • 3. Engineer's Report (PDF) • 4.

The City Council further adopted ordinances and regulations governing the development of land providing for the installation and construction of certain landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities to enhance the quality of life and to benefit the value of property. The requirement for the construction and installation of landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities is a condition of approval for development and is a requirement of issuance of a permit for the construction of any residential, commercial, industria l and planned unit development. The installation of landscaping and lighting systems and the construction of the necessary appurtenant facilities is the responsibility of the property owner/applicant, as conditions of approval of a development application . The City may cause the installation by property owners directly or accept financial arrangements for installation of these facilities. The cost of servicing, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities in turn becomes the responsibility of the benefiting properties. The owners/applicants petitioned for formation of the Landscaping Lighting Assessment District and/or annexation. These have been completed and will increase the City’s obligation for maintenance and servicing. The City is administering a lighting system for the benefit of all parcels of land within the City. The lighting benefit is directly related to public safety and property protection. These benefits have been studied widely, locally, regionally and nationally. The City formed Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District 89 -1 (the “District”) in 1989 and subsequently annexed other parcels as Annexation No. 1 , Annexation No. 2 Annexation No. 3, Annexation No. 4, and Annexation No. 5 to said District to ensure a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of servicing and maintenance of the respective facilities, which in turn will enhance the value of each parcel in the District directly and collectively. The boundaries of the District, which include Annexations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the boundaries of Zone 1 - Tract 13364 filed in Map Book 203, Pages 89 through 92, Records of San Bernardino County (the “County”). The boundaries of Zone 2 - Tract 14264 and Zone 3 – Tract 14471 filed in Map Book 242, Pages 17 and 18, Zone 4 – Tract 17766 filed in Map Book 237, Pages 41 and 42, and Zone 5 – Tract 18793 filed in Map Book 115, Pages 81-82. The boundaries of Zone 6 – Tract 18071 and Zone 7 –18604 filed in Map Book 1178 Page 18 and Map Book 1167 Page 34, respectively, of the County. Servicing and administration of the City’s landscape maintenance program shall be according to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California (the “1972 Act”). Payment for the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the D.5.c Packet Pg. 43 At t a c h m e n t : 3 .

The proceedings will be conducted under the 1972 Act Sections 22500 through 22679. This Engineer’s Report (the “Report”) is presented for the purpose of levy of annual assessment to the above-described properties for the purpose of maintaining the lighting and landscaping during the Fiscal Year 2024/2025. This Report contains the necessary data required to conduct the proceedings and is submitted to the Clerk of the City for filing. The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the San Bernardino County (the “County”) Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and a dedicated fund number established for the District to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll and the allocation of the funds collected. This Report consists of the following sections: Section I Plans and Specifications: Description of the District's improvements are filed herewith and made a part hereof. Said plans and specifications are on file in the Office of the City Clerk. Section II Method of Apportionment: A discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the overall landscaping street lighting improvements provided within the District (Proposition 218 Benefit Analysis). This section also includes a determination of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit. Section III Estimate of Improvement Costs: An estimate of the cost of the proposed improvements, including incidental costs and expenses in connection therewith, is as set forth on the lists thereof, attached hereto, and are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.

Reference is hereby made to the County Assessor’s maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District. Section V Assessment Roll: A listing of the proposed assessment amount for each parcel within the District. The proposed assessment amount for each parcel is based on the parcel’s calculated proportional special benefit as outlined in the method of apportionment and proposed assessment rate established in the District Budget. These assessment amounts represent the assessments proposed to be levied and collected on the County Tax Rolls for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. Section I.

A. ZONES OF BENEFIT In an effort to ensure an appropriate allocation of the estimated annual cost to provide the District improvements based on proportional special benefits, this District is established with benefit zones (“Zones”) as authorized pursuant to Chapter 1 Article 4, Section 22574 of the 1972 Act: “The diagram and assessment may classify various areas within an assessment district into different zones where, by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements.” The parcels, lots, subdivisions and developments within the District are identified and grouped into one of seven (7) Zones. Each Zone reflects the landscape improvements associated with the development of properties in that Zone, to fairly and equitably apportion the net cost of providing those improvements to the properties that receive special benefits from the service and activities associated with those improvements. All of the parcels in the District are identified as single-family residential properties within three residential developments. These residential developments have been grouped into seven different Zones that reflect each specific budget and improvements for that particular Zone. By establishing and utilizing a Zone structure, similar properties with similar types of improvements will be assessed a proportional amount for the services and activities provided by the District within each respective Zone. The improvements are the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities described as follows: Zone 1 - Tract 13364 (a) Landscaping Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, turf, irrigation systems, monuments, hardscapes, walls, fencing and appurtenant facilities in public right-of-ways and easements within the proposed boundary of the District.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and servicing of street lighting improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value: “The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” The formulas used for calculating assessments reflect the composition of parcels within the District (which are all residential properties) and the improvements and activities to be provided and have been designed to fairly apportion costs based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel within each Zone, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the provisions of Proposition 218 and Article XIII D of the California Constitution (“Article XIID”). For each Zone within the District, each parcel represents one (1) Equivalent Benefit Unit (“EBU”). D.5.c Packet Pg. 50 At t a c h m e n t : 3 .

The improvements provided by this District and for which properties are assessed are public street lighting and landscaping improvements. These improvements generally were installed in connection with the development of the properties within the District. Article XIIID Section 2(d) defines District as follows: “District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”; Article XIIID Section 2(i) defines Special benefit as follows: “Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over, and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4(a) defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows: “An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel whi ch exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Benefit Analysis Special Benefit The special benefits properties within the District will receive from the proposed improvements include, but are not limited to: • Improved aesthetic appeal of nearby properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties. • Enhanced adaptation of adequate green space, trees, and amenities within the urban environment.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the overall aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District and thereby provide a special enhancement to these properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the improvements would ultimately result in the deterioration of the improvements and facilities, which in turn could negatively impact the properties within the District. As such, the annual costs of ensuring the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements are considered a distinct and special benefit to the properties within the District and are there fore considered the financial obligation of those properties. The cost of any improvement or portion thereof that is considered to be of general benefit shall not be included as part of the special benefit assessments allocated to properties within the District. General Benefit In the absence of a special funding District, the City would typically provide only weed abatement and erosion control services for landscaped areas. The cost to provide this baseline level of service is approximately $0.01 per square foot for landscape areas that require maintenance. Zone 1 – Tract 13364 has approximately 29,100 square feet of landscape space, Zone 2 – Tract 14264 has no landscaping area that the City maintains and Zone 3 – Tract 14471 has approximately 9,045 square feet of landscape space, Zone 4 – Tract 17766 has approximately 3,856 square feet of landscaped space, Zone 5 – Tract 18793 has approximately 4,668 square feet of landscaped space , Zone 6 – Tract 18071 has approximately 61,750 square feet of land scaped space, Zone 7 – Tract 18604 has approximately 3,239 square feet of landscaped space . The proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 show the general benefit amount which will be deducted from the cost of maintenance to arrive at a net special benefit assessment rate.

These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the existing District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the asses sment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes. The costs of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support. The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits. To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and th e associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District. Assessment Range Formula Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law. Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (the Proposition 218 implementing legislation). The purpose of establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments. As part of the District formation, balloting of property owners is required pursuant to the Article XIIID Section 4. The property owner ballots include an Assessment to be D.5.c Packet Pg. 53 At t a c h m e n t : 3 .

Zone 1 – Tract 13364, Zone 2 – Tract 14264 and Zone 3 14471 do not have an increase in assessments. The following describes the assessment range formula: The Maximum Assessment is equal to the initial Assessment approved by property owners adjusted annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) plus two percent (2%). As of January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “BLS”) split the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area for all Urban Consumers to Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Area. Each fiscal year, the Maximum Assessment will be recalculated, and a new Maximum Assessment established. Currently, the District uses the Annual Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario CPI index to compute the CPI difference each year. For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the percentage difference is 4.654%. Therefore, the Maximum Assessment will increase by 6.654%. The Maximum Assessment is adjusted annually and is calculated independent of the annual budgets and proposed assessments established for each Zone of the District. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to this Maximum Assessment (for each Zone) is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is much greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.

BACKGROUND: As of December 26, 2019, Friends of the Blue Mountain owns the property identified by Assessor Parcel Numbers 1178-251-03 and 1178-251-05 (“Property”), located atop Blue Mountain in Grand Terrace. Denis Kidd, CEO of the organization, seeks to donate the Property to the City through the attached Real Property Donation Agreement (“Agreement”). The properties are expected to be combined with acquired parcels to complete the development of the Blue Mountain Trail. Additionally, three other parcels are slated for acquisition through the California State Parks Habitat Conservation Fund grant, of which Denis Kidd is also the owner. DISCUSSION: Approval of the Agreement will formalize Denis Kidd’s donation of the Property to the City, allowing for its acceptance by the City of Grand Terrace. Mr. Kidd intends for the Property to serve public interests, such as a public hiking trail, open space, or any other use deemed beneficial to Grand Terrace residents by the City Council. The Agreement includes provisions for a grant deed to convey the Property, which is appraised at $180,000 as of April 26, 2024. Upon approval, escrow will commence upon the Escrow Holder’s receipt and D.6 Packet Pg. 79 acceptance of the executed Agreement along with an initial deposit of $5,000 from the City. Escrow is scheduled to conclude within 30 days of execution, unless an extended period is approved by the City Manager. All related expenses, including those for a title insurance policy, will be covered by the City. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) The proposed transaction does not constitute a project under CEQA, as delineated by CEQA Regulation 15378. A transfer of title between property owners does not constitute an environmental impact. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the Agreement and subsequent closure of escrow will incur approximately $5,000 in expenses for the City related to the donation process.

BACKGROUND: Since incorporation, the City has contracted with the County of San Bernardino for law enforcement services provided through the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (Exhibit 1 – Original Public Safety Services Contract). Each fiscal year, cities that contract for law enforcement services are required to approve a contract amendment that specifies the level of services for that fiscal year (Exhibit 2 - Schedule "A").

These services shall be provided by the County personnel as specified in the attached Proposed Schedule “A.” The City will continue staffing level and hours worked by Sheriff staff as estimated in the table below: Table 1 Personnel Level of Service Hours Per Week Annual Hours Lieutenant 0.21 7.5 390.0 Sergeant 0.90 32.5 1,690.0 Detective/Corporal 0.56 20.0 1,040.0 Deputy Sheriff Tier 2 5.76 208.0 10,816.0 Office Specialist 1.26 45.0 2,340.0 Sheriff’s Service Specialist 0.14 5.0 260.0 Citizen Patrol Truck/ Dispatch Services 0.94 30.0 1,560.0 TOTAL 9.77 348.0 18,096.0 The 31st Amendment to this Agreement (proposed FY202 4-25 amendment) updates the cost of law enforcement services that will be provided in FY202 4-25 totaling $2,540,112, an increase of $69,809 (2.826%) from the current year’s cost of $2,470,303.

PRESENTED BY: Shanita Tillman, Senior Management Analyst RECOMMENDATION: 1. Authorize a contract award to BWW & Company Inc. for the repair of damaged guardrail on Barton Rd. in the amount of $39,750.00 NTE $42,900 per Council-approved appropriation. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and any subsequent change orders. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports Goal #2 "Maintain Public Safety" by investing in critical improvements to infrastructure BACKGROUND: The City Council secured Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 9 funding in December 2018 to undertake a project aimed at enhancing traffic safety. While David Evans & Associates was initially selected for the architectural and engineering (A&E) services on October 24, 2024, federal regulations mandate the utilization of a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) for such work. Unfortunately, David Evans & Associates does not qualify as a DBE, necessitating the selection of an alternative firm. On April 9, 2024, the City Council approved the allocation of $42,900 to proceed with the repair and replacement of damaged guardrails along Barton Rd from a contractor outside of the HSIP grant. DISCUSSION: The guardrail replacement project was advertised through the City's Public Purchase procurement program. While seven companies expressed initial interest, only BWW & Company Inc., located in Grand Terrace, submitted a final bid. Their bid of $39,750 falls within the allocated budget of $42,900, providing a margin for unforeseen costs. RECOMMENDATION: D.8 Packet Pg. 116 Staff recommends awarding a contract to BWW & Company Inc. in the amount of $39,750 for the replacement of approximately 150 feet of damaged guardrail on Barton Rd. Upon City Attorney approval of the contract's legal form, authorization will be granted to the City Manager for its execution and subsequent change orders . ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). FISCAL IMPACT: The contract with BWW & Company Inc. is $39,750 and will be funded from account 10 - 175-257-000-000.

ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San Bernardino, State of California. 7.2 Disputes. (a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on the invoices only when the default is cured. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. (b) Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear D.8.b Packet Pg. 141 At t a c h m e n t : B W W A g r e e m e n t f o r G u a r d r a i l R e p l a c e m e n t M a y 2 0 2 4 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o B W W & C o m p a n y I n c . ) -22- 01247.0006/984569.1 to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Pparty. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.

Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.

Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. 7.11 Unfair Business Practices Claims.

Approve an agreement between the City of Grand Terrace and Superior Building Maintenance, LLC for facility janitorial services for a term of 3 years with (2) 1 -year extensions, with a maximum total annual cost of $57,684. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement subject to City Attorney approval as to form. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports Goal #2 "Maintain Public Safety" by investing in critical improvements to infrastructure. BACKGROUND: On October 24, 2017, the City Council approved a three-year contract with Moran Janitorial Services for janitorial services at City Hall facilities and City parks. This contract expired on October 24, 2020. An amendment to the contract on October 26, 2021, extended and increased Moran's contract term, which concluded on January 12, 2024. During Moran’s contract term, staff experienced unsatisfactory service, including issues such as failure to remove trash from offices, neglect of sweeping and mopping floors, and missed service days. Some of these issues were observed by City residents who were considering renting our Community Room DISCUSSION: To ensure continuous service during the procurement process, Moran Janitorial Services was retained on a month-to-month basis until June 30, 2024, with plans for a new contractor to commence services on July 1, 2024. On March 6th, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued via the City website and Public Purchase, an online municipal bidding site. The Public Works Department received four proposals by March 29th, as follows: D.9 Packet Pg. 164 Vendor Amount Moran Janitorial Services $41,148.00 Santa Fe Janitorial Services, Inc. $71,040.00 Sage Synergy Corporation $57,840.00 Superior Building Maintenance $57,684.00 The primary services requested by the City encompass janitorial services for various facilities, including: 1. Civic Center Services (City Hall, Council Chambers, Community Room) • Daily services Monday to Friday, including sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, trash removal, and restroom cleaning. • Weekly services for buffing floors, shampooing carpets, and thorough dusting. • Floor maintenance including daily mopping and periodic stripping/waxing and carpet steam cleaning. • Window cleaning and exterior services. 2. Civic Center Annex Building Services (Sheriff’s Office Space) • Weekly services on Mondays for office areas, kitchen, and bathrooms. 3. Parks and Recreation Area Services • Weekly services at specified parks and dog park, including opening facilities, cleaning, restocking supplies, trash removal, and grounds maintenance. • Second walkthrough and additional restroom services at 1:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Following review and evaluation by three reviewers, Superior Building Maintenance emerged as the preferred vendor based on service quality and proposal assessment, despite Moran Janitorial Services offering the lowest bid. Superior Building Maintenance, a certified women-owned business, demonstrates the capability to meet the required scope of work. Staff recommends that the City Council approve an Agreement with Superior Building Maintenance for facility janitorial services for a term of 3 years, with two optional 1 -year extensions, at an annual cost not to exceed $57,684.00. Authorization is sought for the City Manager to execute the Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: D.9 Packet Pg. 165 City staff has included a $57,684.00 budget allocation in the proposed FY2024 -25 budget for janitorial services that will be brought to the City Council June 11, 2024.

To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith: D.9.a Packet Pg. 176 At t a c h m e n t : P r o f e s s i o n a l S e r v i c e s A g r e e m e n t - M o r a n J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t f o r F a c i l i t y J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ) 11 | P a g e (a) Contractor will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith; (b) Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Contractor hereunder; and Contractor agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom; (c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Contractor for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Contractor hereunder, Contractor agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney’s fees. Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Contractor in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this Agreement. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer. Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City (“Risk Manager”) due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete and detailed. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Contractor’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Contractor’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act. 6.2 Reports. Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Contractor is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed. 6.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”), including any electronic documents and materials, prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City in a format of the City’s choice upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use.

All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City. 6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information. (a) All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer. (b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. (d) Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.

In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party D.9.a Packet Pg. 180 At t a c h m e n t : P r o f e s s i o n a l S e r v i c e s A g r e e m e n t - M o r a n J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t f o r F a c i l i t y J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ) 15 | P a g e of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Contractor. In addition, the Contractor may terminate this Contract for cause, upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to City. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.8 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.9 Attorney’s Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs D.9.a Packet Pg. 181 At t a c h m e n t : P r o f e s s i o n a l S e r v i c e s A g r e e m e n t - M o r a n J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t f o r F a c i l i t y J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ) 16 | P a g e the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Contractor, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Contractor or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 8.2 Conflict of Interest. Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Contractor’s performance of services under this Agreement. Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Contractor agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. 8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination.

Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class. 8.4 Unauthorized Aliens. Contractor hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Contractor so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Contractor hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by City.

It is understood that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Agreement and this Agreement supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties, and none shall be used to interpret this Agreement. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and approved by the Contractor and by the City Council. The parties agree that this requirement for written modifications cannot be waived and that any attempted waiver shall be void. 9.5 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the phrases, sentences, clauses, paragraphs, or sections contained in this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable by a valid judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, sentences, clauses, paragraphs, or sections of this Agreement which are hereby declared as severable and shall be interpreted to carry out the intent of the parties hereunder unless the invalid provision is so material that its invalidity deprives either party of the basic benefit of their bargain or renders this Agreement meaningless.

Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. (d) Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San Bernardino, State of California. 7.2 Disputes. (a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to D.9.b Packet Pg. 213 At t a c h m e n t : S B M A g r e e m e n t ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t f o r F a c i l i t y J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ) -19- 01247.0006/669201.8 Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on the invoices only when the default is cured. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. (b) Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or inj unctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities. 7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the D.9.b Packet Pg. 215 At t a c h m e n t : S B M A g r e e m e n t ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t f o r F a c i l i t y J a n i t o r i a l S e r v i c e s ) -21- 01247.0006/669201.8 work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.10 Attorneys’ Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. 7.11 Unfair Business Practices Claims. In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services or materials related to this Agreement. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the City renders final payment to the Contractor without further acknowledgment of the Parties. ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Contractor, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Contractor or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.

Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Contractor’s performance of services under this Agreement. Contractor further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Contractor agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which effects his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Contractor warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement. 8.2 Covenant Against Discrimination. Contractor covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religi on, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or other protected class in the performance of this Agreement. Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or other protected class. 8.3 Unauthorized Aliens. Contractor hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Contractor so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Contractor hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by City.

The first-year costs were $8,759 and the new agreement had the City bearing 100% of all costs associated with the crossing guard services. DISCUSSION: On April 25, 2023, staff submitted a new one-year Memorandum of Understanding for discussion and direction. City Council approved the MOU retroactively in the amount of $15,519 for the school year 2022 -2023 and directed staff to renegotiate future contracts for crossing guards and return to the City Council with a recommendation. Staff has reached out to CJUSD on several occasions to discuss the renegotiation of future MOUs for crossing guard services. Unfortunately, as of this report, no discussions have been successfully held. At this time, it is the recommendation of staff that the City Council elect to terminate the MOU effective June 30, 2023, and no extensions to the MOU dated July 1, 2022 will be requested.

CEQA: the Adoption of the Proposed Ordinance is Not a “Project” that is Subject to CEQA Review Because it Will Not Result in Direct Physical Change in the Environment, or a Reasonably Foreseeable Indirect Physical Change in the Environment. (See, §15061(B)(3) – Common Sense Exemption.) PRESENTED BY: Scott Hutter, Planning & Development Services Director RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: 1) Conduct a public hearing; and 2) Introduce an Ordinance approving Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 amending City Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning) Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking) pertaining to off-street parking requirements and find an Environmental Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This project supports Goal 3 to promote economic development by preparing for future development by updating the zoning and development codes to ensure parking standards are current per the Circulation Element Implementation Plan Goal 3.3 and Policy 3.3.2. SUMMARY: The City of Grand Terrace proposes a Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 to amend parking regulations found within Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking) of the City’s Municipal Code for the City Council’s consideration. The proposed amendments will clarify areas of the off-street parking requirements that are unclear such as car overhang into a planter area and maximum parking needed for a drive-through only restaurant with no indoor dining or take-out. On May 2, 2024, the Planning Commission / Site and Architectural Review Board conducted a public hearing and recommended approval of ZCA 23-01 with the inclusion of six (6) recommendations to the City Council. Those recommendations are detailed below in the “Analysis” section of this agenda staff report. BACKGROUND: E.11 Packet Pg. 240 Title 18 of the Municipal Code contains Section 18.60.030 which identifies off-street parking regulations for residential and non-residential uses. Through the project proposal review process, proposed uses are reviewed for compliance with off-street parking regulations. Although Section 18.60.030 currently includes off-street parking regulations for a variety of use types, updates and modifications were needed to provide additional clarification of the regulations; and to update the City’s policies regarding parking regulations to be more in line with development best practices. ANALYSIS: Notable modifications proposed by Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 are: 1. Updating parking standards for fast food restaurants with and without drive-throughs. 2. Updating gas station parking to address convenience stores and fuel pumps. 3. Added drive-through queueing standards from the Institute of Transportation Engineers. 4. Added handicapped, queued, and electric vehicle spaces into parking space counts. 5. Added a parking space overhang into a planter area into space dimensions. 6. Added a parking management plan requirement to ministerial parking adjustments. 7. Updated shared parking to require site-specific parking study from an engineer. On May 2, 2024, the Planning Commission / Site Architectural Review Board conducted a Public Hearing on the Project at the Grand Terrace City Council Chambers located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, California 92313 and concluded the hearing on said date with adoption of Planning Commission Resolution 2024-03 subject to the following six (6) recommendations: 1) Revise Section 18.60.030 (B.) (3.) (i.) so that the ratio is one parking space for each employee on the largest shift. Section 18.60.030 (B.) (3.) (i.) was revised to read in its entirety as follows: “i. Drive-Through Fast Food Restaurants: (i) Fast food restaurants that are drive- through only (no dine in and no take-out/walk-up) require one parking space for every two one employees on the largest shift; (ii) Fast food restaurants that are drive-through and dine-in require one-parking space per 100 square feet of gross floor area; (iii) Fast food restaurants that are drive-through and take- out/walk-up with no dine-in seating require one parking space for every two one employees on the largest shift, and one space for every 200 square feet of outdoor seating/eating area;” 2) Ensure “drive-thru” or “drive-through” is used consistently in Chapter 18.60 (Off- Street Parking). All instances where “drive-through” was used have been grammatically revised to “drive-thru” in Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking). 3) Revise Section 18.60.030 (B.) (3.) (j.) so that only half of the parking located at the fuel pumps is credited towards the off-street parking for a gas station. Section 18.60.030 (B.) (3.) (j.) was revised to read in its entirety as follows: “j. Gas stations: (i) Three parking spaces; (ii) Plus two parking spaces for each service bay; (iii) Plus one parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area for an ancillary retail store or restaurant component (iv) Plus no more than one E.11 Packet Pg. 241 parking 50% of the parking spaces at the per fuel pump nozzles may be credited towards meeting off-street parking requirements;” 4) Revise Section 18.60.030 (D.) (1.) (f.) so that credit of up to five drive -thru spaces towards the total number of off street parking spaces required only applies to drive-thru restaurants with dine in. This queuing credit does not apply to drive-thru restaurants that lack indoor dining Section 18.60.030 (D.) (1.) (f.) was revised to read in its entirety as follows: “f. No more than five drive-thruough queueing spaces shall be counted towards the total number of off-street parking spaces required for the a dine-in restaurant business with the drive-thruough. This section shall not apply to any restaurant with both a drive-thru and take out or to any restaurant that is drive-thru only. 5) Ensure “ADA Accessible” is used consistently in Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking). All instances where “handicapped” was uses has been grammatically revised to “ADA Accessible” in Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking). 6) Revise Section 18.060.030 (B.) (3.) (f.) to remove the part (i) that requires a parking space for every four fixed seats and just use part of (ii) as the standard at one space for every 25 square feet of seating area. Section 18.060.030 (B.) (3.) (f.) was revised to read in its entirety as follows: “f. Churches and other areas of assembly not specified in this chapter: (i) One parking space for every four fixed seats; (ii) One parking space for every 25 square feet of seating area within the main auditorium where there are no fixed seats; Note: Twenty-four linear inches of bench or pew shall be considered a fixed seat;” A full accounting of the proposed modifications to Chapter 18.60 - Off-Street Parking, incorporating all six (6) recommendations from the Planning Commission / Site Architectural Review Board is provided in the tracked text edits of Chapter 18.60 provided as Attachment 2 to this agenda staff report. This Parking Ordinance is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Implementation Plan Goal 3.3 and Policy 3.3.2 in that is the City conducting a periodical review of the Zoning Code parking standards to assure that adequate off-street parking is available for specific land uses. The modifications to Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking) are intended to address identified shortcomings of the code and make it clearer what parking is required for land uses and developments. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption. The Zone Change Amendment activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Zone Change Amendment activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the Zone Change Amendment activity is not subject to CEQA. A Notice of Exemption (NOE) is provided as Attachment 3 to this E.11 Packet Pg. 242 agenda staff report and will be filed with the County and State should the City Council approve this Ordinance for ZCA 23-01. NOTIFICATION: The Public Hearing Notice for the Project was published in compliance with the City's Municipal Code and the City’s “Expanded Public Noticing and Outreach Policy for Public Hearings and Public Workshops.” The Public Hearing Notice was published at the Grand Terrace City News, posted in three public places, including Grand Terrace News Paper, City Hall Lobby and Kiosk. To date, the City has not received any comments. FINDINGS: Municipal Code Section §18.90.040 - Planning Commission Public Hearing and Recommendation, lists the findings of fact that must be made by the Planning Commission and City Council when amending Title 18 “Zoning. The Planning Commission made all necessary findings, and they are detailed in the draft Ordinance approving ZCA 23-01 which is provided as Attachment 1 to this agenda staff report. CONCLUSION: Planning Commission / Site and Architectural Review Board recommended that City Council approve the Ordinance for Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 and determine that the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption. Upon receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission/ Site Architectural Review Board, the City Council shall conduct a Public Hearing and may approve, modify, or disapprove the recommendation of the Planning Commission, provided that any modification of the proposed amendment by the City Council not previously considered by the Planning Commission during its hearing, shall first be referred back to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation. Such consideration resulting from a City Council referral shall require a Public Hearing. Failure by the Planning Commission to report to the City Council on the proposed modification within 40 days, or such longer period as the City Council may designate, shall be deemed an approval of the proposed modification by the Planning Commission. Staff is in support of Planning Commission’s recommendation that City Council approve the Ordinance for Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 with the inclusion of the six (6) Planning Commission recommendations.

The City Council hereby specifically finds that all the facts set forth in the above Recitals, are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof. SECTION 2. Based upon the forgoing and all oral and written testimony by members of the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, staff reports and attachments) made at the public hearing, the City Council hereby finds that the Project “Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01” is not subject to environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines as follows: Finding: A project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Facts in Support of Finding: The City of Grand Terrace has reviewed the proposed project pursuant to: 1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15002(k) – General Concepts, the three- step process for deciding which document to prepare for a project subject to CEQA; and 2) CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 – Review for Exemption, procedures for determining if the Zone Change Amendment project is exempt from CEQA. Since it can be seen with certainty that the proposed Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 solely proposes to modify the City’s non-residential off-street parking standards, it has no foreseeable potential to have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City of Grand Terrace has determined that the proposed Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 is considered to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption. The project is exempt under the “common sense” exemption because it does not involve any grading, demolition, or construction activities that will have a significant effect on the environment. The project is strictly a text update to the City’s parking standards found within the Zoning Code. It can be said with certainty that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. As such, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA, or not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Arrowhead Avenue, 2nd Floor City of Grand Terrace San Bernardino, CA 92415-0130 22795 Barton Road Grand Terrace, CA 92313 Project Title: An Ordinance of the City Council of Grand Terrace, California, approving Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01, to amend TITLE 18 (ZONING) of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code by repealing and replacing CHAPTER 18.60 (OFF-STREET PARKING) in its entirety. Project Location – Specific: Citywide Description of Project: Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 to amend parking regulations found within Chapter 18.60 (Off-Street Parking) of the City’s Municipal Code to clarify areas of the off-street parking requirements that are unclear. Notable modifications proposed by Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 are: 1.) Updating parking standards for fast food restaurants with and without drive- throughs. 2.) Updating gas station parking to address convenience stores and fuel pumps. 3.) Added drive-through queueing standards from the Institute of Transportation Engineers. 4.) Added handicapped, queued, and electric vehicle spaces into parking space counts. 5.) Added a parking space overhang into a planter area into space dimensions. 6.) Added a parking management plan requirement to ministerial parking adjustments. 7.) Updated shared parking to require site-specific parking study from an engineer. Name of Public Agency Approving Project: Grand Terrace City Council Name of Person or Agency Carrying out Project: City of Grand Terrace Planning Department Exempt Status: Environmental Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Reasons Why Project is Exempt: It can be seen with certainty that the proposed Zone Change Amendment (ZCA) 23-01 solely proposes to modify the City’s non-residential off-street parking standards, it has no foreseeable potential to have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City of Grand Terrace has determined that ZCA 23-01 is considered to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption. The project is exempt under the “common sense” exemption because it does not involve any grading, demolition, or construction activities that will have a significant effect on the environment. The project is strictly a text update to the City’s parking standards found within the Zoning Code.

ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-11, ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the City of a certain measure relating to a transactions and use (sales) tax at the consolidated General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as called by Resolution No. 2024-09; and 2. ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-12, setting priorities for filing written argument(s) and directing t City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis, regarding the Grand Terrace General Services Measure; and 3. ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-13, providing for the filing of rebuttal arguments for the Grand Terrace General Services Measure submitted at a General Municipal Election on November 5, 2024; and 4. If the Resolutions above are adopted, then CONDUCT the first reading, by Title only, of an Ordinance relating to the proposed general transactions and use tax measure. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports City Council Goal #1, “Ensure Our Fiscal Viability” by identifying additional revenue sources. BACKGROUND: The current city-wide tax rate is 7.75%, which is composed of State, County and City sales tax rates. The City’s component is only 1.00% as shown below. G.12 Packet Pg. 277 Taxing Jurisdiction Rate California state sales tax 6.00% San Bernardino County sales tax 0.25% Grand Terrace sales tax 1.00% Special tax (San Bernardino County) 0.50% Combined Sales Tax: 7.75% State law “caps” the total cumulative sales tax rate at a maximum rate of 10.25% for the jurisdiction of Grand Terrace. Because 7.25% has already been accounted for of this maximum, 2.50% remains available to be allocated. To capture a portion of this remaining 2.50%, an ordinance will need to be adopted, as described in this report, to establish a transactions and use tax with a specified tax rate for implementation. Per sections 7285.92 and 7251.1 of the Revenue and Tax Code, a maximum of 2.00% of the remaining 2.50% may be captured by the City. A 1.00% transactions and use tax has been recommended by an Ad Hoc Citizens Committee. Consequently, the City Council has been asked to consider taking the actions necessary to submit a general transactions and use tax measure with a rate of 1.00% to the voters at the November 5, 2024, general municipal election. If approved, the revenues collected from this tax will be deposited in the City’s general fund to finance general City services and programs for its residents instead of other taxing jurisdictions like the County of San Bernardino. If adopted, the total annual revenue generated is estimated to be $1 million. DISCUSSION: I. Three Election Resolutions Three election resolutions concerning the proposed general transactions and use tax ordinance are presented for consideration by the City Council. The first resolution orders the submission of the proposed transactions and use tax to the voters at the November 5, 2024 general municipal election, approves the transactions and use tax ordinance, and requests that the measure be included in the City’s general municipal election that has been consolidated with the Statewide General Election occurring on the same date. The second resolution establishes priorities under State law for choosing among multiple written arguments (both in favor and against) the transactions and use tax measure. It also directs the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the proposed measure. The third resolution provides for the filing of rebuttal arguments to the primary written arguments. The rebuttal arguments are prepared by the opposite authors of the primary arguments. G.12 Packet Pg. 278 Per the City Clerk and relevant county requirements, the last day to submit the adopted resolutions to the San Bernardino County Elections office is August 9, 2024. As such, all three resolutions and the first reading, by title only, of the ordinance must be completed before this deadline. II. Issues Concerning the Three Election Resolutions A. The Ballot Label The first resolution includes a “ballot label” (commonly known as the “ballot question”) which describes the proposed transactions and use tax ordinance, and which is the question actually presented to the voters. Ballot labels are limited to 75 words or less. The Council may revise the language used for the ballot label within the following state law restrictions: 1. “If the proposed measure imposes a tax or raises the rate of a tax, the ballot shall include in the statement of the measure to be voted on the amount of money to be raised annually and the rate and duration of the tax to be levied.” (Elec. Code § 13119(b).) 2. “The statement of the measure shall be a true and impartial synopsis of the purpose of the proposed measure, and shall be in language that is neither argumentative nor likely to create prejudice for or against the measure.” (Elec. Code § 13119(c).) 3. The ballot label must be in the form of “Shall the measure…be adopted?” (Elec. Code § 13119(a).) The label should also clarify the general transactions and use tax will be for general government use. Although the proposed tax will be deposited in the General Fund for unrestricted general revenue purposes, the ballot label may make reference to possible uses while not committing the revenue to those uses. B. Argument Authorization The second resolution authorizes councilmembers to write an argument in favor of the ballot measure. If three (3) or more Councilmembers jointly write a ballot argument, then the Brown Act will require the collaboration to occur at a noticed public meeting. C. Rebuttals Rebuttal arguments are optional under state law and are allowed at the discretion of the City Council. If the Council does not desire to authorize rebuttal arguments, then it should not approve this third election resolution. G.12 Packet Pg. 279 III. Procedures A two-thirds (i.e., four out of five) vote of all members of the City Council will be required to pass the resolution to order the submission of the proposed transactions and use tax measure to the voters and to approve the ordinance. Additionally, the City Council must approve the transactions and use tax ordinance, which consists of the Council conducting a first reading, by title only, of the ordinance. The City Council will subsequently adopt the ordinance if it approved by the voters. Under Proposition 218, the levy of a new general transactions and use tax measure will require approval by a majority of the voters (50% + 1). (Cal. Const. art. 13C, § 2(b).) As discussed above, the proposed taxes will generate revenue, deposited in the general fund, available for any general governmental purpose. The transactions and use tax is collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and distributed to the City. Per Revenue and Tax Code section 7265, the CDTFA may begin collecting the tax on the first day of the calendar quarter at least 110 days after adoption of the ordinance. If the majority of the electorate votes in favor of the ordinance, it is anticipated to be adopted on Tuesday, December 10, 2024. As such, the first day for the collection of taxes, or operative date, shall be on April 1, 2025. If the ordinance is not adopted during the December 10 th City Council meeting, the operative date shall be postponed to the first day of the following calendar quarter at least 110 days after the date of adoption (e.g., July 1, 2025, October 1, 2025, etc.). RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends that the City Council: 1. ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-11, ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the City of a certain measure relating to a transactions and use (sales) tax at the consolidated General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as called by Resolution No. 2024-09; and ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-12, setting priorities for filing written argument(s) and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis, regarding the Grand Terrace General Services Measure; and ADOPT Resolution No. 2024-13, providing for the filing of rebuttal arguments for the Grand Terrace General Services Measure submitted at a General Municipal Election on November 5, 2024; and If the Resolutions above are adopted, then CONDUCT the First Reading, by Title only, of an Ordinance relating to the proposed general transactions and use tax measure. G.12 Packet Pg. 280 2. Provide other direction to staff. FISCAL IMPACT: Costs anticipated include city attorneys’ fees to prepare the necessary impartial analysis and costs associated with reviewing and preparing written arguments and rebuttals.

To impose a retail transactions and use tax in accordance with the provisions of Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 7285.9 of Part 1.7 of Division 2 which authorizes the City to adopt this tax ordinance which shall be operative if a majority of the electors voting on the measure vote to approve the imposition of the tax at an election called for that purpose. B. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that incorporates provisions identical to those of the Sales and Use Tax Law of the State of California insofar as those provisions are not inconsistent with the requirements and limitations contained in Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. C. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that imposes a tax and provides a measure therefore that can be administered and collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in a manner that adapts itself as fully as practicable to, and requires the least possible deviation from, the existing statutory and administrative procedures followed by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration in administering and collecting the California State Sales and Use Taxes. D. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that can be administered in a manner that will be, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, minimize the cost of collecting the transactions and use taxes, and at the same time, minimize the burden of record keeping upon persons subject to taxation under the provisions of this ordinance. 3.32.040 Contract with State. Prior to the operative date, the City shall contract with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to perform all functions incident to the administration and operation of this transactions and use tax ordinance; provided, that if the City shall not have contracted with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration prior to the operative date, it shall nevertheless so contract and in such a case the operative date shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter following the execution of such a contract.

For the purposes of this ordinance, all retail sales are consummated at the place of business of the retailer unless the tangible personal property sold is delivered by the retailer or his agent to an out-of-state destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-of-state destination. The gross receipts from such sales shall include delivery charges, when such charges are subject to the state sales and use tax, regardless of the place to which delivery is made. In the event a retailer has no permanent place of business in the State or has more than one place of business, the place or places at which the retail sales are consummated shall be determined under rules and regulations to be prescribed and adopted by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. 3.32.070 Use Tax Rate.

In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to sections referring to the exterior boundaries of the State of California, where the result of the substitution would be to: a. Provide an exemption from this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not otherwise be exempt from this tax while such sales, storage, use or other consumption remain subject to tax by the State under the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or; b. Impose this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under the said provision of that code. 4. In Sections 6701, 6702 (except in the last sentence thereof), 6711, 6715, 6737, 6797 or 6828 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. B. The word "City" shall be substituted for the word "State" in the phrase "retailer engaged in business in this State" in Section 6203 and in the definition of that phrase in Section 6203. 1. “A retailer engaged in business in the District” shall also include any retailer that, in the preceding calendar year or the current calendar year, has total combined sales of tangible personal property in this state or for delivery in the State by the retailer and all persons related G.12.b Packet Pg. 290 At t a c h m e n t : ( G T ) O r d i n a n c e X X X r e T r a n s a c t i o n s a n d U s e T a x ( 9 7 2 4 8 4 . 2 ) ( E s t a b l i s h m e n t o f a G e n e r a l T r a n s a c t i o n s a n d U s e T a x ) CC Ord No. 353 Page 6 of 11 May 28, 2024 to the retailer that exceeds five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000).

Authorize the appropriation of General Fund in the amount of $257,955.00. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports Goal #1, Ensuring Fiscal Viability and Goal #3, Promote Economic Development by having an internally consistent General Plan. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On March 23, 2021, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with J.H. Douglas and Associates in the amount of $68,950.00 for the preparation of the City’s Housing Element (sixth cycle). The contract between the City of Grand Terrace and J.H. Douglas expired and was not extended and the invoices for J.H. Douglas contract were reimbursed through the General Fund and the State’s SB2 Grant Funding. On May 23, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Michael Baker International in the amount of $40,250.00 to pick up on the preparation of the Housing Element (sixth cycle) where J.H. Douglas left off. The State required that the City engage in G.13 Packet Pg. 301 additional public outreach for 6th Cycle and so on February 13, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Michael Baker International in the amount of $37,110.00. The total contract amount increased with Amendment No. 1 to $77,360.00. A total of $65,000.00 of that amount is to be reimbursed later this year through the State’s LEAP Grant. The scope of the Housing Element Update in the current contract with Michael Baker International contract does not include concurrent General Plan Element Update considerations that are required by State Statues. Those concurrent items being Safety Element, Environmental Justice Element, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Michael Baker International has the staff, resources, and experience as noted in their proposal provided as EXHIBIT A-2 to Attachment 1. The flowchart below shows the relationship between the Housing Element Update and concurrent General Plan Update considerations per State statutes. SB 1035 (Gov. Code § 65302) and SB 379 (Gov. Code § 65302.g.4) require all cities to address climate change adaptation and resilience in their Safety Element. SB 379 is triggered by the next update of a jurisdiction’s local hazard mitigation plan (updated every five years). SB 1035 built off SB 379, requiring the safety element be updated every eight years upon the next Housing Element Update which we are currently in the final stages of completing. SB 1241 (Gov. Code § 65302, 65302.5) applies to cities with high fire hazard severity. Cities subject to SB1241 need to ensure consistency between the Housing Element and Safety Element to address fire risk. AB 2911 strengthened the local very high fire hazard severity zone designation. The City is subject to SB 1241 and must share the Draft Safety Element with the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. The Board is given 90 days to review and provide comments on the draft, before the jurisdiction can act. AB 2140 (Gov. Code § 65302.6, 8685.9) authorizes cities to adopt the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) with the General Plan Safety Element. Integration by reference is encouraged through a post-disaster financial incentive to cover local shares of the 25% non-federal portion of grant-funded post-disaster projects when approved by the legislature. The Grand Terrace LHMP expired in August of 2023 so Grand Terrace currently does not have a current LHMP. SB 1000 (Gov. Code § 65302) requires cities with disadvantaged communities to adopt a General Plan Environmental Justice Element to reduce risks in those communities. SB 1000 is triggered when two or more General Plan Elements are updated concurrently. The Housing Element has been underway since 2020 and the Safety Element is getting a late start. Together they make up two elements and trigger SB 1000 for the Environmental Justice Element. G.13 Packet Pg. 302 The proposal to complete all of the above as required by State statutes is in the amount of $257,955.00. The total contract amount will increase to $335,315.00. Attached is a Resolution approving the Amendment No. 2 to the agreement for Housing Element consultant services contract (Attachment 1) between Michael Baker International for consultant services for concurrent General Plan updates of the Safety Element, Environmental Justice Element, and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. FISCAL IMPACT: The $257,955.00 will be appropriated from the General Fund Professional Services Account 10- 370-250-000-000.

RECITALS A. The City and Consultant entered into that certain Agreement for Contract Services By and Between the City of Grand Terrace and Michael Baker International, dated May 23, 2023, to complete the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, with a total compensation (“Contract Sum”) of $40,250.00, and for a term of one (1) year (“Agreement”). B. The City and Consultant amended that Agreement for Contract Services By and Between the City of Grand Terrace and Michael Baker International, dated February 12, 2024, to complete the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, with a total compensation (“Contract Sum”) of $77,360.00, and extended the term of the Agreement to be consistent with the completion of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element. B. Consultant has worked diligently with City Staff to address State comments and make the necessary edits to create the revised draft Housing Element which is currently posted on the City website for public review. However, as Consultant was finishing the revised draft Housing Element the City was made aware that the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update is required by the State to update the Safety Element in the Grand Terrace General Plan. C. Furthermore, pursuant to discussions with CalFire the update of the Safety Element as a prerequisite requires the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to be revised, and currently the City’s LHMP has been expired since August of 2023. The significance being that the City is mandated by the State to update both its Safety Element and LHMP to complete the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. D. Lastly, pursuant to the State environmental law statutes, when two or more General Plan Elements are updated at the same time a jurisdiction shall incorporate an Environmental Justice Element into its General Plan. Currently the City of Grand Terrace does not have an Environmental Justice Element and must write one in addition to amending the Safety Element and updating the LHMP to complete the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. E. Based thereon, the Planning Department requested that Consultant provide a proposal with a budget and scope to conduct additional addendum to the Safety Element, updates to the LHMP, and creation of an Environmental Justice Element to complete the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update for the City.
