29 What are the benefits of PDB? (con’t)
Efficient Timeline
• Shorter overall project
schedule with early cost
and schedule certainty
• Quicker procurement process
• Faster decision making through
collaboration
Balanced Risk Allocation
• Transparent risk discussions
early and often
• Assignment of risk to party
best able to manage it
• Active mitigation or
management prior to
construction
Cost Transparency
• Owner control of the budget
through every phase of the project
• Final price determined before
construction
• Owner must agree with
price, scope, and
schedule before project
moves into construction
Where does the legal authority come from?
Newly signed into law in January, 2023,
CA SB-991 allows any City, County, City &
County or Special District to use
Progressive Design-Build on any project
that stores, treats or conveys water .

33 What if we don’t agree on a price with the PDB?
The Off-Ramp
• Key Contract clause for Progressive Design-Build.
• At the City’s sole discretion, forgoes the construction phase. • City will complete the design through the PDB’s engineering firm. • City bids the project traditionally.
Creates incentive
for the Design-Builder
to achieve an agreeable GMP.
Downside for the Owner:
taking the off-ramp can delay construction while project design is completed, bid package developed and public bids received.
Off-ramp is a contractually
defined option for the City of
Banning to use that
terminates the project
agreement prior to NTP for
Phase 2. Off-ramp taken
when the City and PDB are
unable to agree on a price for
Phase 2.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ralph Wright, Parks and Recreation Director Ralph Wright
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Report of Monthly Activities through the 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023/2024 – March 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
To better track the participation levels of parks and recreation program offerings and the facilities usage for parks and recreation programs and services, staff developed a monthly report that is used to compile and present our numbers, help tell our story and allow for easy year over year comparison.
The ten-page report includes parks staff activities, park and facility usage, sports and classes participation, Senior activities, Banning Connect passes sold and ridership numbers, aquatics programming, special events and the Outdoor Equity Program Grant programming. The report is aligned with the fiscal year, July through June of each year and compiled each month.
Staff brings the report to the Council after each quarter of the Fiscal Year.
Attached in this item, is the March 2024 report that contains participation information through the end of the 3rd quarter of FY 2023-24.
The 3rd quarter report continues to show overall growth in our programming. Our Karate program moved to the Armory a year ago and continues to show participation growth. The additional facility has allowed us to increase program offerings at both the Armory and the Community Center.
The month of March saw the conclusion of the annual youth basketball league. The youth basketball league had 277 participants in multiple age divisions including a 7th and 8th grade division this year.
The Senior Center continues to provide warm meals, programs and needed resources and services to Banning's Seniors. The seasonal events and Happiness Campaign continue to provide immense joy and needed socialization.
One continuing negative trend for the Fiscal year is the increased graffiti incidents in our parks. Through 3 quarters, there has been a year over year increase of 22% in Park graffiti incidents. Parks staff has been tasked with cleaning the graffiti as soon as feasible to minimize the negative aesthetic and to not allow for the normalization of the graffiti in our parks. However, this continues to strain the staff’s ability to perform ongoing parks maintenance as they are dealing with these incidents. 41 JUSTIFICATION:
The tracking of the monthly participation and usage numbers aids the department in evaluating the use of program space, the success of community outreach and communities wishes for Parks and Recreation Facilities and Programming.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
ALTERNATIVES:
Receive and file.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Jim Steffens, Deputy Director of Electric
Art Vela, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-62, Authorizing the City Manager to Approve and Execute Agreements for the Sale of the Banning Electric Utility's Excess Renewable Energy Credits
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2024-62.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California has implemented the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program as one of its tools to decarbonize the electric utility sector. The RPS program mandates that electric utilities meet specified targets of renewable energy to serve their customers. The method by which utilities comply with these RPS targets is by obtaining Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and retiring the RECs for the RPS program. Utilities can obtain RECs by generating/purchasing their own renewable energy, or they can purchase RECs in the secondary markets. There are three types, or “buckets”, of RECs for the RPS program: Portfolio Content Category 1 RECs (PCC1 RECs), Portfolio Content Category 2 RECs (PCC2 RECs), or Portfolio Content Category 3 RECs (PCC3 RECs). PCC1 RECs are the most important and most valuable because utilities must use at least 70% PCC1 RECs to meet their RPS targets.
The secondary market for RECs has skyrocketed over the last year. For example, PCC1 RECs have historically sold for around $15 each. However, the current market for PCC1 RECs has risen to between $60 to $70 each due to high demand and market scarcity. The scarcity has been driven by COVID and the resulting supply chain issues. Many utilities had subscribed to renewable projects that they were going to use to meet their RPS targets. However, COVID postponed many of these projects from getting completed. Therefore, there are many utilities that are currently in the market for PCC1 RECs, driving up the prices.
The City of Banning Electric Utility Department (Utility) entered an 8 MW geothermal project that began on January 1, 2022, resulting in the Utility being 81.3% renewable in 2022. Therefore, the Utility is way ahead of the RPS targets and has excess RECs now and for the foreseeable future. Given the elevated market for PCC1 RECs, on September 26, 2023, the City Council approved the Utility to sell 40,000 PCC1 RECs to the City of Pasadena at a price of $62 per REC. Additionally, on February 13, 2024 the City Council approved the Utility to sell 20,000 PCC1 RECs to the City of Burbank at a price of $65 per REC.
The Utility desires to sell additional RECs in the coming years to boost the financial health of the Utility.
The Utility has attempted to expand its pool of potential REC buyers by including REC brokers and dealers in its Requests for Bids. However, the brokers and dealers have indicated that they cannot enter 53 into deals that have to wait for and are contingent upon a City Council approval. They need to know that when they close a deal that it is a done deal and can be transacted quickly. To accommodate the transactional needs of the REC brokers and dealers, the Utility desires that the City Manager have the authority to sign the REC sales agreements. This authority would result in the REC sales agreements being executed timely enough to meet the brokers and dealers transactional needs. By expanding the pool of buyers that are bidding upon the Utility's excess RECs, it would significantly increase the probability of the Utility receiving higher bids for their excess RECs.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Utility desires to receive the highest prices for its excess RECs. Being able to include REC brokers and dealers in its Requests for Bids will open up the Utility to a much larger purchasing market. This wider market will most likely result in the Utility receiving higher revenues for its excess RECs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The exact fiscal impact is unknown. However, it is rational to assume that by increasing the pool of buyers who are bidding on the Utility's RECs, there is a strong probability that the Utility will receive higher bids, resulting in higher revenues.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution 2024-62, without amendments.
2. Do not adopt Resolution 2024-62, which would preclude the Utility from marketing its RECs to REC brokers and dealers.

RESOLUTION 2024-62
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BANNING, CALIFORNIA,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS FOR THE SALE OF THE ELECTRIC UTILITY’S EXCESS RENEWABLE ENERGY CREDITS WHEREAS, the City of Banning owns and operates a Municipal Electric Utility (Utility); and
WHEREAS, the Utility has entered into Power Purchase Agreements for the purchase of renewable energy and the associated renewable energy credits (RECs); and WHEREAS, the market prices of RECs have become elevated and the Utility desires to sell portions of its RECs that are in excess of the Utility’s Renewable Portfolio Standard regulatory requirements in order to bolster the Utility’s financial position; and WHEREAS, the City Council has previously approved, and authorized the City Manager to executed on the Council’s behalf, two agreements for the sale of RECs in 2023 and 2024; and WHEREAS, the Utility desires to expand the potential buyers of its RECs to include REC brokers and dealers in order to negotiate higher bid prices for its RECs; and WHEREAS, most REC brokers and dealers need to transact in a timely manner, and will not agree to sales that are contingent upon the City Council’s final approval, and, as such, the Utility desires that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve and execute agreements for the sale of RECs so that the Utility may timely transact with all potential REC buyers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Banning as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council authorizes the City Manager to approve agreements for the sale of the Utility’s excess renewable energy credits and execute such agreements on behalf of the City Council.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Holly Stuart, Public Works Program Manager Arturo Vela, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-63, Establishing Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Rates for Residential and Commercial Garbage, Recyclable and Organic Waste Collection, Transportation, Recycling and Disposal Services, and Making a Finding of Exemption Under the California Environmental Quality Act
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2024-63.
BACKGROUND:
On April 27, 2021, the City Council approved a solid waste franchise agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) with Waste Management of the Inland Empire (“Waste Management”) for Residential and Commercial Garbage, Recyclable Materials and Organics Waste Collection, Transportation, Recycling and Disposal Services (“Solid Waste Services”), effective July 1, 2021. The Franchise Agreement establishes many Solid Waste Services provided to the community and helps ensure that the City complies with State solid waste regulations. The term of the Franchise Agreement is valid through June 30, 2041.
As part of adopting the new Franchise Agreement, the City Council established the initial rates (“Rates”) for the City’s monthly service charge (“Service Charge”) for Solid Waste Services following a noticed public hearing conducted in accordance with Proposition (“Prop”) 218 on June 22, 2021. The Rate components that made up the monthly Service Charge for Solid Waste Services included the following:
1) the SB 1383 Residential Component (for residential customers only), 2) Service Component; 3) Disposal Component; 4) Organics Waste Processing Component (“Organics Component”); and 5) Recycling Processing Component (“Recycling Component”).
Since the adoption of the Franchise Agreement, rates have been adjusted annually pursuant to the Franchise Agreement and approved Prop 218 noticing. Most recently, a Prop 218 process was conducted and adopted by City Council at a Public Hearing on April 11, 2023 and is valid through July 1, 2027. As identified by this Prop 218 process and as outlined in the Franchise Agreement, the Service Component, Disposal Component, Organics Component, and Recycling Component can be adjusted annually to account for inflation and changes in disposal and processing fees as follows:
The Service Component shall be adjusted based on the percentage increase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for All Urban Consumers in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area, using the change in the 12-month annual average of CPI-U index values between the January to December period of the prior year (the previous year), and the January to December period of the year before the prior year (the prior previous year). 58 The annual adjustment will be at least one percent (1.00%) (the “Floor”) and cannot exceed four percent (4.00%) (the “Cap”). If the annual CPI adjustment exceeds the Cap or is less than the Floor, then the amount above the Cap or below the Floor shall be carried over into any succeeding year until such time as it may be applied without violating the Cap or Floor limits.
The Disposal, Organics, and Recycling Components shall be adjusted for changes in tipping fees or processing fees, as applicable, charged at the disposal, recycling processing, or organic processing facilities used by Waste Management as follows:
If Waste Management or its affiliates own and/or operate the facility, and the tipping/processing fee is not set or adjusted by a public agency, then applicable Component (Disposal, Organics, or Recycling) shall be adjusted using the same methodology described above for adjusting the Service Component and be subject to the same Floor and Cap provisions, or In all other circumstances (e.g., Waste Management uses a facility owned by a third party or public agency), the applicable Component (Disposal, Organics, or Recycling) shall be adjusted using the actual change in the per ton tip fee or per ton processing fee charged at the disposal, organic waste processing facility, or recyclable processing facility, as applicable, between the previous year and the prior previous year. If Waste Management uses multiple facilities that have different per ton tip/processing fees, the City shall determine the change in the per ton tip/processing fee charged between the previous year and the prior previous year for each applicable facility and multiply this amount by the percentage of the total tonnage delivered to the facility. The City shall then add these sums together to determine the total change in the per ton tip/processing fees for each Component (Disposal, Organics, or Recycling).
JUSTIFICATION:
As permitted by the Franchise Agreement, Waste Management requested an annual rate adjustment for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 (July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025), as shown in the attached letter.
Based on the methodology of the Franchise Agreement and the last Prop 218 approval, staff evaluated each Rate Component to determine applicable adjustments. As described above, the Service Component is adjusted by the increase in CPI with the 1% “Floor” and 4% “Cap”. For this period, the CPI is 4.65%. As a result, a 4% increase was applied to the Service Component of the Rates and
0.65% shall be carried forward into any succeeding year until such time it may be applied without violating the Cap or Floor limits.
The Recycling Component will also be adjusted by the CPI since Waste Management owns and operates the facility used for processing this material. The Recycling Component shall be adjusted using the same methodology described above for adjusting the Service Component and is subject to the same Floor and Cap provisions.
In all, the carried forward CPI percentage balance that remains and can be applied to these components at a later date is summarized below:
Rate Period CPI Requested CPI Applied CPI
Carry Forward
July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023 No carry over requested by WM July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024 8.7% 4% 4.7%
July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025 4.65% 4% 0.65%
The total carry over percentage balance remaining from the initiation of the Franchise Agreement to be applied at a later date within the approved parameters is 5.35%. 59 For the Disposal Component, it was determined that Waste Management uses a facility owned by a third-party/public agency and that the component will be adjusted using the actual change in the per ton processing fee charged at the disposal facility between the previous year and the prior previous year.
The percentage change for this component is 7.94%.
For the Organics Component, it was determined that Waste Management uses a facility owned by a third-party/public agency and that the component will be adjusted using the actual change in the per ton processing fee charged at the disposal facility between the previous year and the prior previous year.
The percentage change for this component is -0.95%.
The City Council may use the rate adjustment methodology approved pursuant to Resolution 2023-63 to establish the Rates for a five-year period through July 1, 2027 without undertaking a new Prop 218 process.
CEQA:
City staff has evaluated the adoption of the Rates pursuant this Resolution purposes of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines and has determined that the adoption of the Rates is an activity covered by the common sense exemption in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of the Rates may have a significant effect on the environment because the adoption of the Rates only address the cost of existing services provided to the public and not the commencement of a new service or program. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council find that the adoption of this Resolution exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The current residential Rate for the collection of refuse is $29.45 per month per household and the rate will increase to $30.60. The commercial Rate will be adjusted in accordance with the rate adjustment methodology, as shown in the attached residential and commercial rate schedule, attached hereto. The new rate schedule will be effective July 1, 2024 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
ALTERNATIVES:
Reject WM’s request to increase the Rates for Solid Waste Services. If rejected, pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, WM shall have the right to dispute the denial action by pursuing measures outlined in the Franchise Agreement.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Holly Stuart, Public Works Program Manager Arturo Vela, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-64, Approving the Fifth Amendment to the Street Sweeping Services Agreement with Sweeping Corp of America (SCA) Extending the Term through Fiscal Year 2024/2025 and Increasing the Compensation of the Total Agreement Amount by $138,716 for the Extended Term
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2024-64.
BACKGROUND:
On June 9, 2020, City Council approved an award for street sweeping services in the amount of $91,177 for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 for one year with the option to renew the services agreement for four (4) additional single years. The initial contract was awarded to Cannon Pacific Services, dba Pacific Sweeping.
On June 8, 2021, City Council approved the First Amendment to the agreement extending the term of the agreement and increasing annual compensation for FY 2021/2022. During this period, the curb miles serviced were reduced from 400 to 300 resulting in an annual contract amount of $86,680 which included annual services as needed in the amount of $10,000.
On April 22, 2022, the Second Amendment to the agreement was processed changing the Contractor name from Cannon Pacific Services, dba Pacific Sweeping, to SCA.
On June 14, 2022, City Council approved the Third Amendment for 2022/2023 in the amount of $122,716. Prior to the award, it was identified by the Contractor that the company was experiencing severe price increases related to items such as equipment, insurance, tires, brooms and fuel.
Additionally, in order for the Contractor to remain competitive and retain employees, labor cost increased. Consequently, staff negotiated with the contractor and determined SCA was awarded Sourcewell Contract 062421-SWP which is valid through August of 2025. As a result, under the Sourcewell Contract, the cost per curb mile increased from $21.30 to $31.31. Staff felt that the increased rate was still competitive considering that the second lowest bidder in 2020 proposed a per mile cost of $36.13.
On May 23, 2023, the Fourth Amendment to the street sweeping agreement with SCA was approved with rates increasing 7.31%; within the Consumer Price Index. With this renewal, the agreement for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 increased to $131,712 which included monthly street sweeping services in the 77 amount of $120,960 ($33.60 per curb mile) for a 12- month period and services as needed in the amount of $10,752. With approval of the Fourth Amendment, one (1) additional single-year contract extension remained.
At this time, street sweeping services provided by SCA have been evaluated and determined satisfactory. SCA identified that pricing for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 will increase 3% which is in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) percentage change. As a result, staff recommends the renewal of street sweeping monthly services in the amount of $124,560 ($34.60 per curb mile) for a 12-month period. In addition to curb miles, street sweeping services will be provided to the parking lots of Repplier, Roosevelt Williams and Lions parks at a rate of $107.09 per sweep per location at an annual cost of $3,855.25 which includes servicing the locations monthly. Additionally, the services renewal will once again include as needed services in the amount not to exceed $10,300 for a total compensation increase in the amount of $138,715.25 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
The scope of work for these services will include 300 curb miles of monthly street sweeping services.
Residential areas will be serviced once per month and commercial areas will be serviced four (4) times per month. Additionally, monthly sweeping services will be provided to the parking lots of Repplier, Roosevelt Williams and Lions Parks. Services shall include all labor, tools, materials and equipment necessary to perform citywide street sweeping services. In addition to beautifying the City, street sweeping services eliminate roadside debris and trash, pollutants and sediments that might otherwise enter the storm drain assisting the City in complying with the requirements of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. This permit requires the Permittees to implement litter and debris control measure, such as street sweeping, to reduce and/or eliminate the discharge of pollutants, including trash and debris, from the storm sewer system to Receiving Waters. In addition to standard monthly needs, the scope requires the Contractor to respond to special requests should there be hazards posing threat to public safety, such as debris creating traffic issues. Street sweeping services may also be scheduled for special events. Routes, services days and curb miles are summarized in the attached.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Public Works Department does not have the required staff or equipment needed to maintain regularly scheduled street sweeping services; therefore, it is necessary to retain a contractor. Upon review, staff determined that SCA has continued to provide satisfactory citywide street sweeping services and can continue to do so under Sourcewell Contract #062421-SWP.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Residential and commercial street sweeping services will be provided in the amount of $134,860 and funded by Gas Tax Funds, Account 100-4900-431.33-11 (Professional Services) which includes a line item for services as needed. Additionally, monthly street sweeping services will be provided to the parking lots of Repplier, Roosevelt Williams and Lions Parks in the amount of $3,855.25 and funded by Account 001-3600-461.30-01. The total increase amount amounts to $138,715.25.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution 2024-64 as recommended.
2. Adopt Resolution 2024-64 with modifications.
3. Reject Resolution 2024-64 and discontinue services. If directed, staff could proceed with a new RFP to obtain required services. This alternative would result in an interruption in citywide street sweeping services as the City does not have staff resources and equipment to perform these services in-house.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Holly Stuart, Public Works Program Manager Arturo Vela, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-65, Receiving a Report in Connection with the Proposed Collection on the 2024-25 Riverside County Property Tax Roll of Delinquent Solid Waste Service Charges for Single-Family and Multi-Family Accounts for Calendar Year 2023, Setting a Public Hearing on the Report and Making a Determination of Exemption Under CEQA
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2024-65.
BACKGROUND:
On April 27, 2021, the City Council approved a solid waste franchise agreement with Waste Management of the Inland Empire (Waste Management) for Residential and Commercial Garbage, Recyclable Materials and Organics Waste Collection, Transportation, Recycling and Disposal Services (Franchise Agreement), effective July 1, 2021.
In accordance with the Franchise Agreement, on October 12, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1576, amending and restating Chapter 8.28, “Garbage Collection and Disposal,” of Title 8, “Health and Safety,” of the Banning Municipal Code. In addition to implementing many aspects of the new Franchise Agreement, the ordinance allows the collection of delinquent residential service charges on the County Tax Roll in accordance with the Franchise Agreement and Article 4 of Chapter 6 of Part 3 of Division 5 of the California Health and Safety Code, commencing with Section 5470 (“Article 4”). The operative date of the amendments to the Municipal Code was January 1, 2022.
Pursuant to Article 4 of the Franchise Agreement, delinquent charges collected on the County Tax Roll will be collected in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, the general taxes of the City.
The Franchise Agreement establishes that Waste Management shall provide solid waste collection services to residential accounts, which includes both single-family dwellings (SFD) and multi-family dwellings (MFD) and that services provided to residential accounts that become delinquent are not able to be discontinued. In consideration of Waste Management not being able to discontinue residential services, the City committed to working with Waste Management in placing qualifying residential delinquencies on the County Tax Roll. To initiate the process, the Franchise Agreement requires Waste Management, on May 1st of each year or such other agreed upon date, to notify the City in writing that it seeks to have the City place qualifying delinquencies on the County Tax Roll. At no cost to the City, Waste Management is responsible for timely preparing required information, reports, notices, and 92 materials.
Pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, a qualifying delinquent charge is a SFD or MFD charge that is at least 90 days in arrears and for which Waste Management has provided at least one written notice of the delinquency by mail to the service recipient and to the property owner, as listed on the last equalized assessment roll.
JUSTIFICATION:
As permitted by the Franchise Agreement, Article 4, Waste Management submitted a formal letter to the City requesting that qualifying delinquent solid waste service charges for calendar year 2023 be placed on the 2024-25 County Tax Roll, including a description of each parcel within the City for which there is a qualifying delinquent charge (“Identified Parcel”) and the delinquent amount for each Identified Parcel (the “Report”). The Report is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Amounts listed in the Report include past due charges for service and delinquent fees (2.5% or $5 minimum on balances over $15) and County Tax Roll Fees that amount to 10% of unpaid balances per occurrence.
For the 2023 calendar year period, Waste Management’s request amounts to 890 delinquent residential accounts for a total principal balance of $340,655. The principal balance includes all invoices within the dates of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, and include service fees, monthly late fees, extra services and may include multiple account billings for some parcels. Multiple account billings usually occur when the parcel has multiple units on one parcel.
The City Council must hold a Public Hearing on the Report and cause notice of the Public Hearing to be published and mailed. Under this resolution, the City acknowledges receipt of the Report, sets a public hearing on the Report on June 25, 2024, and directs the City Clerk to cause notice of the public hearing to be mailed and published. Notice must be published at least 14 days prior to the date of the Public Hearing and again at least five days after the first publication. The notice must be mailed at least 14 days prior to the Public Hearing to the owner of each Identified Parcel at the address shown on the last equalized assessment roll available on the date the Report was prepared or as known to the City Clerk, and to the address to which the invoices are customarily mailed, if different than the owner’s address.
The notice will identify that delinquent account holders or parcel owners have until July 19, 2024, to resolve any outstanding balances directly with Waste Management and be removed from placement on the County Tax Roll. Consequently, following this date, Waste Management shall provide an updated Report to the City which reflects the removal of any resolved delinquencies from the initial list. At the time of the Public Hearing, staff will provide the updated Report including an updated number of delinquent residential accounts to be placed on the County Tax Roll and the revised principal balance.
At the Public Hearing, the City Council shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the Report. If the City Council finds at the conclusion of the Public Hearing that the protest is made by the owners of a majority of the separate Identified Parcels, then the Report shall not be adopted and the delinquent charges shall not be collected on the County Tax Roll. In the absence of a majority protest, the City Council may adopt or reduce any delinquent charge or overrule any or all objections.
By approving this Resolution, the City Manager or his designee is authorized, prior to the submission of the delinquent charges to the County Auditor Controller for collection on the 2024-25 County Tax Roll, to remove from the Report any Identified Parcel for which the delinquent charge has been paid in full, or to reduce the delinquent amount set forth in the Report for any Identified Parcel for which there has been a partial payment of the delinquent amount.
Under this approval, the City Council will be authorizing the scheduling of a Public Hearing on June 25, 2024 and directing staff to initiate the County Tax Roll collection process.
CEQA:
93 City staff has evaluated the proposed collection of the delinquent charges on the County Tax Roll for purposes of compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines. City staff has determined that the proposed collection of delinquent charges on the tax roll is an activity covered by the common sense exemption in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that such collection may have a significant effect on the environment because the collection only addresses the cost of an existing service provided to the public and not the commencement of a new service or program. Accordingly, the process for the collection of the delinquent charges on the County Tax Roll is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
FISCAL IMPACT:
At no cost to the City, Waste Management shall be responsible, without limitation, for all costs associated with preparing required information, including but not limited to, reports, notices, and materials, publication costs, and Riverside County fees. The Franchise Agreement provides that the City will pay Waste Management moneys collected from the payment of the delinquent charges placed on the County Tax Roll, less the franchise fee equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution 2024-65 as recommended.
2. Adopt Resolution 2024-65 with modifications.
3. Reject Resolution 2024-65 and provide alternative direction to staff. If rejected, pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, Waste Management shall have the right to dispute the denial action by pursing measures outlined in the Franchise Agreement.

RESOLUTION 2024-65
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BANNING, CALIFORNIA,
RECEIVING A REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED COLLECTION ON THE 2024-25 RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ROLL OF DELINQUENT SOLID WASTE
SERVICE CHARGES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY ACCOUNTS, SETTING A
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REPORT, AND MAKING A DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION
UNDER CEQA
WHEREAS, the City Council is authorized pursuant to Section 8.28.270 of the Banning Municipal Code and Article 4 of Chapter 6 of Part 3 of Division 5 of the California Health and Safety Code, commencing with Section 5470 (“HSC Code”), to levy and collect annual service charges for the collection, transportation, recycling and disposal of solid waste (“Charges”) and to have the delinquent Charges for single-family and multi-family accounts collected on the County of Riverside Property Tax Roll (“Tax Roll”); and WHEREAS, the City Council agreed to collect qualifying delinquent Charges for singlefamily and multi-family accounts on the Tax Roll in consideration of the agreement of the City’s franchised hauler, Waste Management of the Inland Empire (“Waste Management”), not to discontinue collection services for single-family and multi-family customers with delinquent accounts; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to HSC Section 5473, delinquent Charges collected on the Tax Roll shall be collected in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, the general taxes of the City; and WHEREAS, pursuant to its solid waste franchise agreement with the City, Waste Management notified the City in writing on April 4, 2024, that it seeks to have the City collect qualifying delinquent Charges for single-family and multi-family accounts for the 2023 calendar year on the 2024-25 Tax Roll. Pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, a qualifying delinquent Charge is a Charge that is at least 90 days in arrears and for which Waste Management has provided at least one written notice of the delinquency by mail to the service recipient and to the property owner, as the property owner is listed on the last equalized assessment roll (“Delinquent Charge”); and
WHEREAS, the City has caused a written report to be prepared and filed with the City Clerk in accordance with HSC Sections 5473 and 5473a (“Report”). The Report contains a description of each parcel within the City for which there is Delinquent Charge in connection with a single-family or multi-family account (“Identified Parcel”) and the delinquent amount for each Identified Parcel. The City has received the Report, which is on file in the office of the City Clerk; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to set a public hearing on the Report pursuant to HSC Sections 5473 and 5473a to consider collecting the Delinquent Charges on the 2024-25 Tax Roll, as described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Banning as follows:
SECTION 1. Each of the above recitals is true and correct and is adopted by the City Council. 95 Resolution 2024-65
SECTION 2. The City Council concurs with staff’s determination that the proposed collection of the Delinquent Charges on the 2024-25 Tax Roll is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that such collection will have a significant effect on the environment because the collection of the Delinquent Charges on the Tax Roll only addresses the cost of an existing service provided to the public and not the commencement of a new service or program. Consequently, the City Council finds the process for the collection of the Delinquent Charges on the 2023-24 Tax Roll is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3).
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby sets a Public Hearing at 5:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chambers, 99 East Ramsey Street, Banning, CA, on June 25, 2024, to hear any objections or protests to the Report and the collection of the Delinquent Charges on the 2024-25 Tax Roll in accordance with the Report.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk is hereby directed to cause notice of the filing of the Report and the time and place of the Public Hearing thereon to be: (i) published prior to the date set for the Public Hearing pursuant to HSC Section 5473.1 and Government Code Section 6066, and (ii) mailed at least 14 days prior to the date of the Public Hearing to the owner of each Identified Parcel at the address shown on the last equalized assessment roll available on the date the Report was prepared or as known to the City Clerk, and to the service address, if different than the owner’s address.
SECTION 5. At the Public Hearing, the City Council shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the Report. The City Council may continue the Public Hearing from time to time. If the City Council finds at the conclusion of the Public Hearing that the protest is made by the owners of a majority of the separate Identified Parcels, then the Report shall not be adopted and the Delinquent Charges shall be collected separately from the Tax Roll and shall not constitute a lien against any parcel. In the absence of a majority protest, the City Council may adopt or reduce any Delinquent Charge or overrule any or all objections and shall make its determination upon the Delinquent Charges as described in the Report, which determination shall be final. Further, the City Council authorizes the City Manager or designee, prior to the submission of the Delinquent Charges to the County Auditor Controller for collection on the 2024-25 Tax Roll, to remove from the Report any Identified Parcel for which the Delinquent Charge has been paid in full, or to reduce the delinquent amount set forth in the Report for any Identified Parcel for which there has been a partial payment of the delinquent amount.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 14th day of May 2024.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Laurie Sampson, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution 2024-66, Approving an Office Lease with Riverside County on Behalf of the Emergency Management Department for Office Space within the Armory Located at 2041 W. Nicolet St. to be used by the Radio Amateur Emergency Service (RACES)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2024-66.
BACKGROUND:
RACES stands for “Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service” a protocol created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Many government agencies across the county train their Auxiliary Communications Service volunteers using RACES protocol. Amateur Radio Operators, also known as Ham Radio Operators, are an important component in an Emergency Communication Plan. The Radios will still operate without cell towers and phone lines.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Pass Area RACES organization is highly trained and is an integral part of the Emergency Response Plan should an emergency occur. The Armory has been designated as the Emergency Operations Command (EOC) and having RACES located in the building will ensure any emergency operation is conducted efficiently.
FISCAL IMPACT:
RACES will pay $1 per year for a total of three years, with an option to renew. They will also contribute to the utilities of the Armory at a rate of $100 per month.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Pass Area RACES groups have used several locations to train and store their equipment. None have worked out long term. As the Armory is now our designated Emergency Operations Center housing RACES there is the best solution to the needs of RACES and the City. If RACES must find another location it would impede communications in the event of an emergency.

5. CASp Statement; “AS-IS” Premises.
(a) The Premises have not been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). A CASp can inspect the subject premises and determine whether they comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, a commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit Tenant or a tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of Tenant or a tenant, if requested by Tenant or a tenant.
The parties must mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the subject premises.
(b) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Landlord will not be obligated to obtain or pay for such an inspection report, and will not make or pay for any necessary repairs or alterations (all of which shall be the responsibility of the Tenant under this Lease). (c) Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected the Premises and Tenant warrants and agrees that it is thoroughly familiar with the Premises and all aspects thereof, including, without limitation, the physical condition of the Premises, the zoning of the Premises and all other restrictions and limitations applicable to the Premises (whether or not of public record). (d) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Premises are satisfactory to Tenant in all respects. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any one acting on Landlord’s behalf has made any representation or warranty of any kind or nature whatsoever respecting the condition of the Premises, their suitability for Tenant’s use, or any other matter relating to the Premises (including, without limitation, the environmental condition of the Premises) or this Lease, and Tenant agrees that it is leasing the Premises in their “AS-IS CONDITION AND WITH ALL FAULTS.”
6. Maintenance.
(a) Tenant agrees that it will, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises and all portions thereof in a good, clean, and safe condition and state of repair. Tenant agrees that 108
-4- 11303-0006\2945394v5.doc
Landlord has no obligation of any kind or nature to maintain, repair, or replace the Premises or any portion of the Premises.
(b) Tenant agrees that Tenant is solely responsible for the security, protection, and insuring of its equipment, materials, and other property, and that of its employees, servants, and contractors, located on or about the Premises. Tenant agrees that Landlord will have no liability of any kind or nature respecting any loss or theft of, or damage to, any such equipment, materials, or other property.
7. Insurance.
(a) Throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all policies of insurance required hereunder with an insurance company(ies) either (i) admitted by the California Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of California and rated not less than “A-VII” in Best’s Insurance Rating Guide, or (ii) authorized by the City Manager or his/her designee at any time and in his/her sole discretion, including Tenant’s selfinsurance program. The following policies of insurance or their equivalent as part of a program(s) of self-insurance acceptable to both parties, are required:
(i) Commercial general liability insurance which shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01 and shall include insurance for “bodily injury” and “property damage,” including premises and operation, completed operations, and contractual liability (including, without limitation, indemnity obligations under this Lease) with limits of liability of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate for bodily injury and property damage. (ii) Commercial automobile liability insurance which shall be at least as broad as the most current version of Insurance Service Office (ISO) Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 01, and include coverage for all owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles or other licensed vehicles (Code 1 Any Auto) with limits of liability of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per accident for bodily injury and property. (iii) Workers’ compensation insurance as required under the California Labor Code.
(iv) Property insurance against all risks of loss to any tenant improvements or betterments, at full replacement cost with no coinsurance penalty provision. (b) In the event Tenant purchases an Umbrella or Excess insurance policy(ies) to meet the minimum limits of insurance set forth above, this insurance policy(ies) shall “follow form” and afford no less coverage than the primary insurance policy(ies). (c) Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any deductibles contained in any insurance policies required hereunder and Tenant shall also be responsible for payment of any selfinsured retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to, and approved by, the City Manager or his or her designee. At the option of the City Manager, or his or her designee, either (i) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects Landlord, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers; or (ii) Tenant shall 109
-5- 11303-0006\2945394v5.doc
provide a financial guarantee, satisfactory to the City Manager, or his or her designee, guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses. At no time shall Landlord, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers be responsible for the payment of any deductibles or self-insured retentions.
(d) All policies of insurance required hereunder shall be endorsed to provide that the coverage shall not be cancelled, non-renewed, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to Landlord. Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of cancellation, nonrenewal, or reduction in coverage or in limits, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a new certificate and applicable endorsements for such policy(ies). In the event any policy is due to expire during this Lease, Tenant shall provide a new certificate, and applicable endorsements, evidencing renewal of such policy not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy.
(e) The General Liability insurance policy shall be written on an occurrence form and shall name Landlord and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers as an additional insured. Such policy(ies) of insurance shall be endorsed so Tenant’s insurance shall be primary and no contribution shall be required of Landlord, its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers. The coverage(s) shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to Landlord and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Should Tenant maintain insurance with broader coverage and/or limits of liability greater than those shown above, Landlord requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits of liability maintained by Tenant. Any workers’ compensation insurance policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation as to Landlord and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. The property insurance policy shall name Landlord as a loss payee. (f) Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall immediately furnish Landlord with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Lease, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy.
This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease. (g) The fact that insurance is obtained by Tenant shall not be deemed to release or diminish Tenant’s liability, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Lease. The duty to indemnify Landlord and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Tenant. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Tenant, its board members, officers, officials, employees, members, agents, volunteers, persons under Tenant’s supervision, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
(h) Tenant and its insurers hereby waive all rights of recovery against Landlord and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers, on account of injury, loss by, or damage to Tenant or its officers, officials, employees, members, agents, volunteers, persons under Tenant’s supervision, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or 110
-6- 11303-0006\2945394v5.doc
anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, or its property or the property of others under its care, custody and control. Tenant shall give notice to its insurers that this waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease. This requirement shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
(i) If Tenant should sublease the Premises under this Lease, Tenant shall require sub-lessee to provide insurance protection in favor of Landlord, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the sub-lessee’s certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Tenant and Landlord prior to the commencement of any sublease.
8. Damage/Destruction of Tenant Property. Landlord has no obligation to reimburse Tenant for the loss of or damage to fixtures, equipment or other personal property, except for loss or damage as is caused by the active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its officers, employees, or agents. Tenant may insure all fixtures, equipment, or other personal property for its own protection if it so desires.
9. Indemnification.
(a) Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Landlord and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs, and damages (whether in contract, tort, or strict liability, including, without limitation, personal injury, death at any time, and property damage, including damage by fire or other casualty) incurred by Landlord, Tenant, or any other person, and from any and all claims, demands, and actions in law or equity (including attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses), arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly out of: (i) the occupancy, maintenance, and use of the Premises and/or; (ii) the performance of this Lease. Tenant’s obligations under the preceding sentence shall apply regardless of whether Landlord or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers are negligent, but shall not apply to any loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs, or damages caused solely by the gross negligence, or by the willful misconduct, of Landlord or any of its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers. (b) Should Tenant sublease the Premises under this Lease, Tenant shall require each sub-lessee to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Landlord and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.
(c) This requirement shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
10. Utilities. Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent, without prior demand and without deduction or offset, on or before the first business day of each calendar month (prorated for any partial calendar month during the Term of this Lease), the sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) per month for water, sewer, gas, heat, light, power, and all other utilities or services of any kind supplied to the Premises. It is agreed that Landlord is not liable for any failure or interruption of any utility or service, and the failure or interruption of any utility or service will not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or stop making any rental or other payments due under this Lease.
111
-7- 11303-0006\2945394v5.doc
11. Taxes. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease may create a possessory interest subject to taxation and that Tenant may be subject to payment of any and all taxes levied on that possessory interest. Tenant shall also pay any property taxes assessed on its personal property.
12. Alterations.
(a) Tenant agrees that it will not make any alterations or improvements to the Premises, or any portion of the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent in its sole and absolute discretion. No alterations or additions may affect the structural portions of the Premises, including, without limitation, the exterior or interior load-bearing walls, the foundation, or the roof of the Premises.

(b) Tenant agrees that it will pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or any interest therein. All alterations and improvements made by Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, be removed from the Premises at the end of the term of this Lease and the Premises restored to their condition prior to the making of such alterations or improvements.
13. Tenant’s Property. All trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property of Tenant located at the Premises will remain the property of Tenant during the term of this Lease and may be removed by Tenant at any time and shall be removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease. If Tenant does not do so, Landlord may retain or dispose of any such remaining fixtures, equipment, and personal property without obligation or liability to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all statutes and other laws to the contrary. Tenant, at Tenant’s cost and expense, must promptly repair all damage to the Premises occasioned by Tenant’s removal of its trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property.

112
-8- 11303-0006\2945394v5.doc
16. Tenant Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant:
(a) Failure by Tenant to make payment of rent or any other payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder within five (5) business days after written notice that they are past due.
(b) Failure by Tenant to keep and maintain any of the insurance required to be kept and maintained by Tenant under this Lease.
(c) Failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease, other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 16, when such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure is given by Landlord to Tenant; provided, that if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant will not be deemed to be in default if Tenant promptly commences such cure and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
17. Remedies. If Tenant is in default, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies which Landlord may have at law or in equity, Landlord has the following rights and remedies which are not exclusive but are cumulative:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, Landlord can, with or without terminating this Lease, reenter the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom, and any such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant. If Landlord elects to reenter or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, and if Landlord has not elected to terminate this Lease, Landlord may either recover all rent as it becomes due under this Lease or relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for such term or terms and upon such provisions as Landlord may deem advisable and will have the right to make repairs to and alterations of the Premises. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord is to be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of Tenant’s default, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease because of such default if Landlord elects to relet the Premises without terminating this Lease, then rent received by Landlord therefrom will be applied as follows:
(i) First, to any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than rent due from Tenant;
(ii) Second, to all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, for maintenance, repairs, or alterations, incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises; and
(iii) Third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid under this Lease and the residual, if any, will be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable under this Lease and to any damages and other amounts that Landlord is otherwise entitled to under this Lease. Should that portion of such rent received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than 113
-9- 11303-0006\2945394v5.doc
the rent payable hereunder during that month by Tenant, then Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand. In no event will Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord from such reletting.
(b) Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant will terminate this Lease.
Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant any amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s default.
(c) Without waiving the default, Landlord can, at its sole option, pay such sums and/or take such actions as are necessary in Landlord’s reasonable judgment in order to cure the default, and all sums expended or incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the maximum rate permitted by law, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately on demand.
18. Landlord Entry. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant to enter all portions of the Premises for any of the following purposes: (a) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (b) to inspect the Premises; (c) in connection with Landlord’s design and construction planning respecting Landlord’s future use of the Premises; and (d) to post notices of non-responsibility. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, and without notice to Tenant, where an emergency situation necessitates such entry. No exercise by Landlord of its rights under this Section shall entitle Tenant to any damages for any injury or inconvenience occasioned thereby or to any abatement of rent or other amounts payable under this Lease.
19. Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to surrender possession of the Premises, and every part thereof, to Landlord in good order, condition, and repair, ordinary wear and tear alone excepted. “Ordinary wear and tear” does not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Tenant performing all of its obligations under this Lease.
20. Notices. Except as otherwise provided, all notices required or permitted to be given under this Lease must be in writing and addressed to the parties at their respective notice addresses set forth below; provided, that notices to Tenant may also be effectively given in writing and addressed to Tenant at the Premises address. Notices must be given by commercial delivery service) or by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Notices will be deemed effectively given, in the case of overnight messenger delivery, upon receipt (or if receipt is refused, upon attempted delivery), and in the case of mailing, three (3) days following deposit into the custody of the United States Postal Service (or inability to deliver, as shown on the return receipt).

22. General.
(a) The acceptance by Landlord of any rental or other payments due hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any of the terms, covenants, or provisions of this Lease by Tenant shall not be construed as a waiver of any such breach. The acceptance at any time or times by Landlord of any sum less than that which is required to be paid by Tenant shall, unless Landlord specifically agrees otherwise in writing, be deemed to have been received only on account of the obligation for which it is paid, and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary written on any check or contained in any writing transmitting the same.

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ralph Wright, Parks and Recreation Director MEETING DATE: May 14, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-67, Approving the Third Amendment for Contract Services (C00698) for Landscape Maintenance Services for Park’s Maintenance with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. in the not to exceed amount of $139,787.64 for FY 2024/2025
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2024-67.
BACKGROUND:
On February 23, 2021, The City Council of the City of Banning awarded a fifteen-month agreement (C00698) with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., for the landscape maintenance of the five of the City of Banning’s parks through June 30, 2022. The original fifteen-month agreement was in the amount of $96,684.00 to cover monthly service costs, with a 10% contingency to allow for additional work and irrigation repair services as needed, for a total not to exceed $106,352.
On May 10, 2022, The City Council adopted Resolution 2022-56 approving the first amendment to the original agreement extending the term for an additional twelve months. The compensation for twelve month extension included a CPI adjustment of 8.6% based on the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index(CPI) Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Area and was for a not to exceed amount of $101,638.80
On May 23, 2023, The City Council adopted Resolution 2023-99 approving the second amendment to the original agreement extending the term for an additional twelve months through June 30, 2024. The scope of work added the Aquatic Center, Community Center, and Senior Center to the contract. These sites were previously included in Public Works LMD contract. The compensation for twelve month extension included a CPI adjustment of 7.9% based on the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index(CPI) Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Area and was for a not to exceed amount of $135,848.14.
The original agreement allowed for four (4) one-year extensions if the services were provided to the expected level within the scope of work. Mariposa Landscapes has performed at or above expectations with regard to their service over the last 36 plus months, has proven themselves responsive to questions, interacts well with staff and continues to provide and offer ideas for improvements for our Park’s system.
For the reasons stated, it is staff’s recommendation that the City authorize Amendment No. 3 to the Park’s Landscape Maintenance agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
The scope of work for landscape maintenance services includes turf management; shrub bed 123
maintenance; tree care and pruning; fertilization; environmental weed and pest control program; irrigation monitoring and operations for the Park properties listed below:
1) Dysart Equestrian Park – 2101 Victory Ave.
2) Lion’s Park – 955 S. Hargrave Street
3) Repplier Park – 201 W. George Street
4) Roosevelt Williams Park – 1101 E. George Street
5) Sylvan Park – 2798 W. George Street
6) Community Center and Senior Center –769&789 N. San Gorgonio Ave 7) Repplier Park Aquatic Center – 749 N. San Gorgonio Ave 8) Repplier Park and Community Center Parkway – 749, 769 & 789 N. San Gorgonio Ave Amendment No. 3 includes two recommended changes to the original agreement:
1) Changes in the term – The extended term will be from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. 2) Compensation adjustments: Pursuant to Section 2.1 of the original agreement, the total compensation can be adjusted to reflect the annual changes in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index (CPI) Riverside – San Bernardino – Ontario Area. For the period from March 2023 to March 2024, the CPI was at 2.9%. Reflecting the CPI rate of 2.9%, the monthly service rate will increase from $10,291.51 to $10,589.97.
Note: Park sites and the cost breakdown is included in Attachment # 2 of this report.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Parks and Recreation Department does not have the required staff or equipment needed to perform the scope of work included in the Scope of Services and maintain the current service levels of our parks, therefore; it is necessary to retain a landscape maintenance contractor to provide these services.
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. came to the city as a highly respected vendor and has performed above expectations. The annual compensation pursuant to the agreement is within the normal parameters for park’s landscape maintenance projects in the area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The third Amendment for Landscape Maintenance of park properties with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. increases compensation for FY 2024/25 in the amount of $139,787.64 which includes the monthly compensation amount of $10,589.97 plus a 10% amount for additional work that might include replanting of plants and trees and irrigation repairs.
The third Amendment to the agreement will be funded by the following operational budgets of the Parks and Recreation Department as follows:
1) Park Division – 001-3600-461.23-29 ($112,210)
2) Community Center – 001-4000-461.23-29 ($8,708)
3) Aquatic Center– 001-4010-461.23-29 ($13,089)
4) Senior Center – 001-4050- 461.23-29 ($5780.64)
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution 2024-67 as recommended.
2. Adopt Resolution 2024-67 with modifications.
3. Do not approve Resolution 2024-67 and provide alternative direction to staff. The City Council may choose to reject this action which would result in a significant reduction in Parks landscape maintenance.
The City does not have staff resources to perform the landscape maintenance included in the scope of work.

Such policy(ies) of insurance shall be endorsed so Contractor’s insurance shall be primary and no contribution shall be required of City. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. The Workers’ Compensation insurance policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation as to City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.
Should Contractor maintain insurance with broader coverage and/or limits of liability greater than those shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits of liability maintained by Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.
Contractorshall furnish City with all certificate(s) and applicable endorsements effecting coverage required hereunder. All certificates and applicable endorsements are to be received and approved by the City Manager or his/her designee prior to City’s execution of the Agreement and before work commences.
If at any time during the life of this Agreement or any extension, Contractor or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to Contractor shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by City hereunder shall in any way relieve Contractor of its responsibilities under this Agreement.
Upon request of City, Contractor shall immediately furnish City with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, employees, agents, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
If Contractor should subcontract all or any portion of the Services to be performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the subcontractors’ certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Contractor and City prior to the commencement of any work by the subcontractor.
5.3 Indemnification, Hold Harmless, and Duty to Defend.
A. Indemnities.
1) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend, hold harmless and indemnify City and its elected officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees, designated volunteers, successors, assigns and those City agents serving as independent contractors in the role of City officials (collectively “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, expenses, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of accountants, attorneys, or other professionals and all costs associated therewith and the payment of all consequential damages (collectively “Liabilities”), in law or equity, whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of, are claimed to arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Contractor, its officers, agents, servants, employees, subcontractors, materialmen, Contractors or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that Contractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of this Agreement, including the Indemnitees’ active or passive negligence, except for Liabilities arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees as determined by court decision or by the agreement of the Parties. Contractor shall defend the Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any Liabilities with counsel of the Indemnitees’ choice, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including all attorneys’ fees and experts’ costs actually incurred in connection with such defense. Contractor shall reimburse the Indemnitees for any and all legal expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitees in connection therewith.
2) Contractor shall pay all required taxes on amounts paid to Contractor under this Agreement, and indemnify and hold City harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against City by reason of the independent contractor relationship created by this Agreement. Contractor shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding Contractor and Contractor’s employees. Contractor shall indemnify and hold City harmless from any failure of Contractor to comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws. City may offset against the amount of any fees due to Contractor under this Agreement any amount due to City from Contractor as a result of Contractor’s failure to promptly pay to City any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this subparagraph A.2).

-9- 11303-0001\2191356v2.doc
3) Contractor shall obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those in this Section from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance of this Agreement.
If Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations, Contractor shall be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities at law or in equity, whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of, are claimed to arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Contractor’s subcontractor, its officers, agents, servants, employees, subcontractors, materialmen, Contractors or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that Contractor’s subcontractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of this Agreement, including the Indemnitees’ active or passive negligence, except for Liabilities arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees as determined by court decision or by the agreement of the Parties.
B. Workers’ Compensation Acts not Limiting. Contractor’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. Contractor expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
C. Insurance Requirements not Limiting. City does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against Contractor because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnities in this Section shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the Liabilities, tax, assessment, penalty or interest asserted against City.
D. Survival of Terms. Contractor’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Performance Bond.
Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, and if required in Exhibit “B”, Contractor shall deliver to City performance bond in the sum of the amount of the Contract Sum, in the form provided by the City Clerk, which secures the faithful performance of this Agreement. The bond shall contain the original notarized signature of an authorized officer of the surety and affixed thereto shall be a certified and current copy of his power of attorney. The bond shall be unconditional and remain in force during the entire term of the Agreement and shall be null and void only if the Contractor promptly and faithfully performs all terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5.5 Sufficiency of Insurer or Surety.
Insurance or bonds 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 three (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 and the performance bond DocuSign Envelope ID: 1522D0F1-AB6A-49FA-BA4A-AEE819593491 147
-10- 11303-0001\2191356v2.doc
required by Section 5.4 may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager; provided that the Contractor shall have the right to appeal a determination of increased coverage by the Risk Manager to the City Council of City within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Risk Manager.
ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION
6.1 Records.
Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and Services performed hereunder (the “Books and Records”), as shall be necessary to perform the Services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such Services. Any and all such Books and Records 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 Books and Records. Such Books and Records shall be maintained for a period of 3 years following completion of the Services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such Books and 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.
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 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 Services contemplated herein Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto.
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”) 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 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 and Materials for other projects and/or use of uncompleted Documents and Materials 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, revise or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such Documents and Materials for its own use. Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any DocuSign Envelope ID: 1522D0F1-AB6A-49FA-BA4A-AEE819593491 148
-11- 11303-0001\2191356v2.doc
Documents and Materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom.
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 Services 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 Services 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 Riverside, 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 Riverside.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
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 Services 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 1522D0F1-AB6A-49FA-BA4A-AEE819593491 149
-12- 11303-0001\2191356v2.doc
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 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 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.

-13- 11303-0001\2191356v2.doc
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 Not Applicable ($0.00) 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.
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Agreement 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 Services actually performed 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 Services 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 1522D0F1-AB6A-49FA-BA4A-AEE819593491 151

accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
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.
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.
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.
8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination.
Contractor covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry 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, marital status, national origin, or ancestry.
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 Services covered by this Agreement, and should the 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.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Landscape Maintenance Services for City Parks
IV. SCOPE OF WORK
IV.A Introduction
The City of Banning is seeking proposals from qualified contractors and intends to retain the services of a contractor to provide landscape maintenance services for its properties throughout the City. The City is considering awarding a contract to begin April 1, 2021, for a term of one (1) year and (3) three months with the option to renew for an additional four (4) single years upon an annual review of the provided services. The City of Banning reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals. These Specifications and Scope of Services shall become part of the contract Agreement.
The scope of services includes turf management; shrub bed maintenance; tree care and pruning; fertilization; environmental weed and pest control program; and irrigation equipment and operations for all locations identified in this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) and listed below:
• Dysart Park (2101 W. Victory Avenue)
• Lion's Park (9955 S. Hargrave Street)
• Repplier Park (201 W. George Street)
• Roosevelt Williams Park (1101 E. George Street)
• Sylvan Park (2801 W. Nicolet Street)
It is the responsibility of the Contractor to visit the sites and become familiar with the project locations and maintenance needs. It is the City’s expectation that all land care and maintenance items identified in this RFP will be addressed.
IV.B TURF MANAGEMENT
1. Lawn Mowing
1. For all turf areas, Contractor will inspect and police the grounds for litter and debris prior to each mowing and dispose of it.
2. Turf will be mowed one time per week during active growing periods, and as often as required during slow periods of growth to maintain a neat and manicured appearance, weather permitting.
3. Mowing height for all irrigated lawn areas will be no less than 1 ½” and no more than 2” for a finished cut height unless otherwise requested. Turf will be cut at a uniform height. Mowing equipment is to be kept sufficiently sharp and properly adjusted through daily servicing to provide a cleanly cut grass blade. Grass blade bruising, tearing, and shredding are to be prevented. Mowing pattern will be varied where DocuSign Envelope ID: 1522D0F1-AB6A-49FA-BA4A-AEE819593491 157

possible to reduce rutting and compaction of grade. Any excess clippings will be dispersed and/or collected to prevent damage and unsightly appearance of lawns.
4. Unless otherwise specified, grass cuttings need not be removed. However, when an inordinate amount of grass is evident, removal may be requested by staff with no extra charge to City for such removal by contractor. Clippings shall be legally disposed of offsite at the Contractor's expense. Special note: frequencies and turf height may change throughout the year in order to accommodate sports activities and facility use schedule; staff may request change in such turf height to address such activities.
5. Work shall be performed on the same day each week. Contractor shall provide a mow schedule to the City. Initial week schedule and any changes must be approved by the City prior to implementation. All mowing missed due to inclement weather or ground conditions from such weather shall be rescheduled and completed within (3)) three working days.
6. Aeration: Contractor shall aerate all turf areas a minimum of once a year by removing one 1/2" diameter by 3" deep cores of sod with an aerator machine with not more than 66" spacing, once over. Aeration shall take place at an approved time frame each year.
